Godslayer: The Progenitor of Symbiotes

When Chen Shu arrived, Cao Yuan was dismembering the three-sword man. Lin Qiye had not yet arrived, and Baili Pangpang was still fighting with the skinny man.

"Fatty! I'm here to help you!"

Chen Shu shouted and charged toward the gaunt man.

When Baili Pangpang saw a big yellow dog running towards him, he seemed to have lost his mind and didn't recognize it as Chen Shu. He kept shouting at it, "Where did you come from, you dog? Get out of the way..."

The gaunt man looked at Chen Shu running towards him with a fierce expression. "As expected of the young master of the Baili family, even the dog he keeps is mysterious... But none of this will work. Die!"

The gaunt man stomped his foot hard on the ground, instantly shattering the asphalt road surface, and at the same time, his right fist slammed heavily towards Chen Shu.

Chen Shu didn't flinch at all. The moment Da Huang's face touched the gaunt man, it was covered with a layer of black liquid.

In the blink of an eye, the black liquid flowed down the emaciated man's arm and into his body.

"What is that?! Show yourself!"

Shock flashed in the eyes of the gaunt man, and the muscles in his right arm bulged and then contracted rapidly, trying to force Chen Shu out.

The next second, his eyes widened, and his body instantly became uncontrollable.

"...Get out of here! Get out of my body..."

Baili Pangpang stopped in his tracks, looking at the gaunt man who had suddenly gone berserk in a daze.

Suddenly, Chen Shu's head popped out from behind the skinny man, "Fatty, grab Big Yellow for me, don't let it run away."

"Hey, it's you?" Baili Pangpang asked, his eyes full of confusion. "Dahuang?...Dahuang, come back here!"

Baili Pangpang chased after the big yellow dog that had run away.

……

Peace Office.

basement.

"Hongying, are you sure you didn't see wrong? If it really is just babbling, then we'll probably need a special team."

Wu Xiangnan looked solemn.

Hongying hugged her legs and curled up on the sofa, lost in thought.

"Red Tassel..."

Just as Wu Xiangnan was about to ask again, she felt someone pat her on the shoulder.

Turning his head in confusion, Chen Muyi nodded. "Xiangnan, notify the instructors at the training camp first."

Wu Xiangnan nodded, picked up her phone, and was just about to make a call...

Heavy footsteps echoed down the basement stairs.

Leng Xuan walked into the basement with a cold face. When he saw Hong Ying, he paused slightly.

Then, ignoring the questioning looks from Chen Muyi and Wu Xiangnan, he sat down opposite Hongying and slammed his pistol heavily on the table.

"I'm asking you, where's that guy?"

When Hongying heard the sound of the table being slammed, her body trembled for a moment. She looked up and met Leng Xuan's angry gaze, her eyes welling up with tears, and shook her head.

"What does shaking his head mean? You wouldn't know he went out alone?"

Seeing Hongying's expression, Leng Xuan lowered his voice slightly, but it still carried a hint of doubt.

"Leng Xuan, put the gun away. Also, I hope you'll be more polite about the next question. Otherwise, I don't mind slamming the knife on the table too."

Zhao Kongcheng, who had been silently smoking on the side, couldn't stand Leng Xuan's attitude any longer and spoke up.

"Alright, alright, stop brandishing weapons, Leng Xuan, tell me what you saw first."

Wu Xiangnan stepped forward to ease the tension between the two.

Leng Xuan silently put away his gun and recounted what he had just witnessed.

After listening to Leng Xuan's explanation, Wu Xiangnan's expression turned grave. "...It seems most likely he was just talking nonsense. I'll notify the instructors at the training camp first..."

While Wu Xiangnan was on the phone, Chen Muyi looked at Leng Xuan and asked, "You came straight back? Is Qi Ye alright?"

Leng Xuan shook his head, a relieved smile appearing on his lips. "Although I only watched for a short while before I noticed the delirium, I have to say that the kid has gotten stronger. I reckon I can't beat him now."

After finishing the call, Wu Xiangnan sat back on the sofa. "The instructors have responded. It should just be a nightmare projection. The [Spirit Medium] team has been hunting down the original Dreaming Body. It's impossible for him to come to Cangnan."

"As for Chen Shu's matter, let us bring him back ourselves. They don't have enough manpower to help us. Whether he is an undercover agent or not, we will investigate after this incident is over."

Chen Muye nodded. "Let's wait and see. If they don't find the two of you, Chen Shu will come back."

"By the way, call Qi Ye and tell him the details. In case he runs into Chen Shu, don't alert him."

……

After Baili Pangpang painstakingly chased Dahuang back, Lin Qiye also defeated the archers and arrived here.

*Smack! Smack! Smack!* ...

Lin Qiye looked in shock at the gaunt man who was slapping himself repeatedly not far away.

"This... Fatty, what's going on?"

Baili Pangpang, carrying Dahuang, leisurely walked towards Lin Qiye.

"Brother Qiye, you've arrived. Don't panic, it's Brother Chen Shu fighting."

Lin Qiye glanced at the emaciated man, then at Big Yellow, and instantly understood.

"Fatty, give me the [Forbidden Scroll]."

Lin Qiye looked at Cao Yuan, who was still going crazy, and reached out his hand to Baili Pangpang.

While Lin Qiye was dealing with Cao Yuan, Chen Shu finally subdued the withered man.

"...Grandpa, please stop fanning me, or I'll faint."

The emaciated man plopped down on the ground, covering his swollen, red cheek.

Chen Shu poked his head out and said seriously, "We don't have to fight. You'll be my little brother from now on."

The gaunt man thought for a moment, then stammered, "To...to be a lackey for the mysterious?"

Chen Shu nodded. "What? You don't want to?...Fine, I'll just kill you right now."

As Chen Shu spoke, the emaciated man's body became uncontrollable once again.

"Oh...no, no, no, I'll take the place..."

Chen Shu nodded in satisfaction, extending a tentacle on which a black sphere was constantly wriggling.

"Come on, open your mouth and eat this."

The gaunt man stared at the black sphere, his face showing difficulty. "What...what is this thing?"

"Enough with the nonsense. Are you going to eat or not? If you don't, I'll slap you a few hundred more times, and then I'll kill you."

"...Eat, I'll eat!"

The gaunt man gritted his teeth, grabbed the black sphere, and swallowed it.

The moment the emaciated man swallowed the sphere, Chen Shu sensed that the [symbiotic offspring] began to seize control of him.

Chen Shu only had a slight thought, and the offspring dared not continue to act.

"Fatty, bring Big Yellow over here."

After Chen Shu called Baili Pangpang over, he returned to Dahuang.

The moment Chen Shu left, the emaciated man's body was quickly covered by black liquid.

However, this offspring did not choose a tall and mighty appearance, but rather covered the withered male body like a layer of armor.

"Father."

The gaunt man called out respectfully.

Baili Pangpang's eyes widened. "Brother Chen, you...you've had a son already?"

Chen Shu was equally shocked and quickly said, "Don't call me that. Just call me Boss from now on."

Finally, after giving Baili Pangpang a brief explanation, Baili Pangpang nodded, seemingly confused.

"So that's how it works. In other words, he's still considered your son."

Chen Shu looked helplessly at Baili Pangpang, "...Say whatever you want."
