Quick Transmigration: The Charismatic Woman Uses Her Stunning Beauty to Complete Missions
Chapter 496 Extra Chapter 1: Back to the Beginning 49
Shen Chumo leaned on her shoulder, closed his eyes, and said in a tired voice, "I just... sometimes I feel like it's all so meaningless."
"It's certainly satisfying to take revenge on them and see them in such a sorry state, but what happens after that satisfaction?"
Lin Lin patted her back and said softly, "Then don't think about it anymore. We won't think about them. Tomorrow I'll go shopping with you and we'll eat your favorite dessert, okay?"
Shen Chumo opened her eyes, looked into Lin Lin's bright eyes, and finally showed a genuine smile: "Okay."
Lin Lin pinched her cheek with a grin: "That's more like it! Chu Mo looks the best when she smiles!"
Shen Chumo slapped her hand away, feigning disgust: "Don't touch me like that."
Lin Lin stuck out her tongue, then suddenly remembered something and leaned closer mysteriously: "By the way, how are things going between you and that Officer Ji?"
Shen Chumo raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean, 'how'?"
When Qin Ze came to pick her up that day, he had already met Ji Linchuan, so Lin Lin naturally knew who Ji Linchuan was.
Lin Lin blinked: "I just noticed that you've been getting quite close to him lately, and I've seen you texting him a lot."
Shen Chumo's eyes flickered slightly, and he said calmly, "He just asked me to investigate a case."
Lin Lin gave a meaningful "Oh," and drawled out the sound: "Investigating a case, huh—"
Shen Chumo glanced at her: "What nonsense are you thinking about now?"
Lin Lin waved her hand with a smile: "No, no, I just think Officer Ji is a really nice person."
Shen Chumo ignored her and got up to go upstairs: "Going to sleep. Aren't we going shopping tomorrow?"
Lin Lin followed behind her, still muttering, "Chu Mo, I actually think there are many interesting things in life besides revenge..."
Shen Chumo didn't turn her head: "For example?"
Lin Lin's eyes lit up: "Like dating!"
Shen Chumo paused, turned to look at her, and said with a half-smile, "Lin Lin, have you been watching too many idol dramas lately?"
Lin Lin: "..."
"Go to sleep!" Shen Chumo said, then turned and went upstairs.
Lin Lin stood there, watching her retreating figure, sighed softly, and muttered to herself, "She's clearly smitten, but she won't admit it..."
Shen Chumo did have a good impression of Ji Linchuan, but she had no intention of dating at the moment.
After she finished showering, she stood on the terrace, looking at the starry sky, and thought about her former "ex-boyfriends."
For her, there may have been some exploitation when she first got together with them, but without exception, they all walked together to the end of their lives.
How could Shen Chumo not be moved?
She also asked Tuanzi how people in these worlds could become mission takers like her.
There is only one answer: the system must select them.
Moonlight bathed Shen Chumo, whose fingertips unconsciously traced the wrought-iron railing of the terrace, the cool touch making her thoughts clearer. The wind whipped her half-dry hair, the ends brushing against her neck, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene.
"MoMo." Tuanzi suddenly appeared on her shoulder. "You've thought about them again?"
"They are all high-quality NPCs selected by the system. After completing the quest with them, their memories will be reset."
Its round eyes gleamed slightly, "Actually, I've secretly kept save files from a few worlds, do you want them...?"
"No need." Shen Chumo interrupted, looking up at the Milky Way, starlight shattering into specks of light in her pupils.
"Every encounter is destined, why cling to the idea of starting over?"
She lowered her gaze to the crisscrossing lines on her palm; the scars left in different worlds had long since healed, yet they still showed faint traces in the moonlight. "Besides," she thought, "I have more important things to do now."
Tuanzi slid down her arm to her wrist, its tail curling around her little finger: "Okay, Momo, there's something I need to tell you. Lin Yuan's body has been stolen."
Shen Chumo frowned slightly. "Was it done by Lin Yuan's men?"
The dumpling wobbled its round body, projecting a holographic image: "They're not Lin Yuan's subordinates, but another group—they come from an organization called 'Chenmen'."
In the footage, several men dressed in black sneak into the forensic center, deftly pry open a refrigerated display case, and remove Lin Yuan's body. A white tiger tattoo on the wrist of one of them is clearly visible in the surveillance video.
"Chenmen..." Shen Chumo narrowed her eyes. "This name sounds familiar."
Tuanzi pulled up an encrypted document: "I hacked into Interpol's database and discovered that this organization has operations all over the world. They are divided into four branches—Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise—each led by a leader with the same code name."
"Is Lin Yuan the head of the Azure Dragon Hall?" Shen Chumo asked thoughtfully.
"That's right." Tuanzi nodded. "But strangely, Lin Yuan doesn't seem to be entirely under the control of Chenmen. He's done many things against the organization's rules in private, including this operation against you."
Shen Chumo lightly tapped the railing with her fingertips: "So, the Chen Sect sent people to retrieve his body to cleanse their own sect?"
"Not only that." Tuanzi pulled up another document, "The Chenmen seem to be conducting some kind of forbidden experiment. They need corpses with special physiques as materials. Lin Yuan's body had been modified by them and is very valuable to the Chenmen."
Shen Chumo sneered: "This Lin Yuan can't even rest in peace in death. I should have destroyed his body if I'd known."
"MoMo, are you going to get involved in this?" Tuanzi asked with some worry. "The Angry Gate isn't an ordinary organization; they might be connected to the mystical forces of this world."
"The Xuanmen?" Shen Chumo was somewhat surprised. "You mean there are cultivators in my world too?"
Tuanzi nodded. "Yes, but their level is too low. At most, they have reached the edge of the Foundation Establishment stage. But for ordinary people in this world, stepping into the realm of cultivation means they are already different from ordinary people."
Shen Chumo understood. It was similar to the martial arts techniques she had taught Lin Chuan and the other three. They couldn't fly or escape into the ground, but ordinary people, or even trained special police officers, were no match for them.
Shen Chumo picked up a silver dagger, its blade gleaming coldly in the moonlight: "Although Lin Yuan is dead, the power behind him still exists."
If we don't completely eradicate anger, they will come knocking on our door sooner or later.
She paused, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes, "Besides... Ji Linchuan has already investigated the Angry Sect. Knowing his personality, he'll definitely pursue it to the end."
Tuanzi tilted her head and looked at her: "So, you're worried about Officer Ji?"
Shen Chumo sheathed her dagger, her face expressionless: "No, if an organization like the Chenmen can produce a freak like Lin Yuan, then there will be a second and a third. Is there any need for such a trash organization to exist?"
Since I have the power, helping the police wouldn't hurt, would it?
The next morning, Shen Chumo stood in the coffee shop across from the police station, watching Ji Linchuan hurriedly walk into the building through the glass window. He had obvious dark circles under his eyes, clearly having not slept all night.
She took out her phone and dialed Ji Linchuan's private number.
"Ji Linchuan, are you interested in discussing the matter of the Angry Gate?"
There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, then Ji Linchuan's voice was wary: "How do you know about the Chenmen?"
"Because I'm investigating too." Shen Chumo took a sip of coffee. "Meet me in the underground parking lot in ten minutes."
Ji Linchuan stood beside his car, watching Shen Chumo walk out of the elevator.
She wore a black trench coat today, her long hair tied in a high ponytail, exuding a sharp and shrewd aura.
Ji Linchuan cut to the chase, "Does Lin Yuan's death have anything to do with you?"
He knew that Shen Chumo was exceptionally skilled; even Lin Yuan was no match for her. Therefore, it wasn't impossible that Shen Chumo was responsible for Lin Yuan's death.
Ji Linchuan couldn't understand how Shen Chumo escaped unscathed from such a massive explosion.
Looking at the woman in front of him, who was so beautiful she seemed unreal, he felt as if he had never truly understood her.
Shen Chumo didn't answer directly, but instead handed him a USB drive: "This contains records of Chenmen's activities over the past five years, including evidence of their crimes in Brussels, Hong Kong, and Zurich."
Ji Linchuan took the USB drive, his brow furrowed: "Even Interpol doesn't have this information. Where did you get it from?"
"I have my own channels." Shen Chumo leaned against the car. "The important thing is, the Chenmen is now targeting you. Last night at the dock, the masked man was the leader of the White Tiger Hall; the tattoo on his wrist is proof."
Ji Linchuan's eyes sharpened: "How do you know about last night?"
"That's not important." Shen Chumo looked directly into his eyes. "What's important is that the Angry Gate won't let anyone who investigates them get away with it."
Ji Linchuan, you are in a very dangerous situation right now.
Ji Linchuan looked her over and suddenly asked, "Why are you helping me?"
Shen Chumo shifted her gaze to the distance: "Lin Yuan was once my target, and now Chenmen is too. We have a common enemy, nothing more."
"Is that all?" Ji Linchuan stepped forward, close enough to smell the faint fragrance in her hair. "Shen Chumo, you are shrouded in too many mysteries. Every time I think I'm getting close to the truth, I discover new inconsistencies."
Shen Chumo looked up at him, then suddenly chuckled: "Officer Ji, being too curious isn't a good thing."
"This is my job." Ji Linchuan smiled, but his eyes held a scrutinizing gaze. "However, I accept your proposal for cooperation. But on one condition—you must truthfully tell me about your grudges with the Chenmen."
Shen Chumo was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Deal."
The two arrived at Ji Linchuan's apartment. Shen Chumo looked around and found that the entire living room was almost completely covered with case files.
The walls were covered with photos and maps, with various clues connected by red lines.
"You've been investigating in secret?" she asked, somewhat surprised.
Ji Linchuan poured her a glass of water: "There's a mole in the police station; I can't trust anyone."
He pointed to the map on the wall, "I found out that the White Tiger has a secret base in Jiangcheng, in the old industrial area in the north of the city."
Shen Chumo went closer to check and found that the location marked on the map was the area where the truck disappeared last night.
"They took Lin Yuan's body, most likely to perform some kind of ritual." She pointed to an abandoned factory on the map, "There's a secret chamber underground here; it's the experimental base of the Crimson Gate."
Ji Linchuan looked at her in surprise: "How do you know so much detail?"
Shen Chumo didn't answer, but instead took out a talisman from her bag and handed it to him: "Carry this with you; it can shield you from their tracking spells."
"Spell?" Ji Linchuan took the talisman, its touch icy cold. "Shen Chumo, what exactly are you...?"
"Officer Ji." Shen Chumo interrupted him, "Some things are safer if you know less. You just need to trust that my determination to deal with Chenmen is no less than yours."
Tuanzi suddenly transmitted a message to her: "Mo Mo, something bad has happened! The Chenmen people are tracking Ji Linchuan's cell phone signal!"
Shen Chumo's expression changed, and she quickly pulled out the battery from Ji Linchuan's phone: "We've been discovered. We must move immediately."
Although Ji Linchuan didn't understand why, his professional instincts made him act quickly.
As soon as the two rushed out of the apartment building, they saw several black cars speeding towards them.
"Get in the car!" Shen Chumo dragged Ji Linchuan towards the car.
The bullets struck the car, making a piercing thud.
Shen Chumo jerked the steering wheel, and the sports car drifted away from its pursuers, speeding onto the highway.
"Fasten your seatbelt." she said coldly, pressing a hidden button inside the car. The sports car engine roared, instantly reaching its maximum speed.
Ji Linchuan gripped the handrail tightly, glancing at the relentlessly pursuing vehicle in the rearview mirror: "Who are they?"
"A killer from the White Tiger Hall." Shen Chumo slammed on the gas pedal, the sports car weaving through traffic like an arrow. "It seems the Angry Sect values you, the criminal investigation captain, very much."
After a sharp turn, Shen Chumo suddenly drove the car into a tunnel.
Under the cover of darkness, she quickly made a hand seal, and the sports car's exterior began to change color, eventually blending into its surroundings.
Ji Linchuan watched this scene in shock.
Shen Chumo didn't explain, but focused on controlling the vehicle. By the time the pursuers rushed through the tunnel, they had already lost sight of their target.
"We're safe for now." Shen Chumo parked the car in front of a secluded warehouse. "This is a safe house; the door won't be found."
Ji Linchuan took a deep breath and turned to her: "Shen Chumo, now you should tell me the truth. Who exactly are you? And what did you mean by 'magic' just now?"
Shen Chumo was silent for a moment before finally speaking: "If I told you that there are powers in this world that ordinary people cannot understand, would you believe me?"
She raised her hand, and a ball of eerie blue flame suddenly appeared in her palm. The flame danced at her fingertips, reflecting on Ji Linchuan's shocked face.
"The 'Crimson Gate' is an organization that practices evil arts. They use forbidden techniques to conduct human experiments in an attempt to create superhuman 'weapons.' Lin Yuan was one of their experimental subjects."
As the flames subsided, Shen Chumo's expression turned grave: "And I am one of the few who can stand against them."
Ji Linchuan processed this information and suddenly asked, "So, you killed Lin Yuan?"
"Yes." Shen Chumo frankly admitted, "He poses a great threat to me, and I have to take action."
Surprisingly, Ji Linchuan didn't show anger or condemnation. Instead, he nodded: "I should have expected it. The forensic report shows that Lin Yuan had multiple fractures besides the explosion, as if he had been brutally beaten before he died."
