My Identity Is Becoming More and More Astonishing

In the empty mansion hall.

Everyone present had their mouths agape, shocked as they looked at Chen Yu.

Especially the plump neighbor, his eyes were almost bulging out.

After a long while.

The Transcendents from the Inspection Bureau came to their senses and covertly started to move, surrounding Chen Yu in the center.

"You... what did you say? I didn't quite catch that," the green-haired Transcendent clicked his tongue, "What were you doing between 10:30 and midnight last night?"

"I went out and killed someone," Chen Yu spread his hands.

"...Killed who?"

"A Transcendent," Chen Yu looked up in thought, "wearing glasses. We had a conflict yesterday."

"So what you mean is, you admit that you killed him."

"I admit it," Chen Yu nodded, "There's nothing to argue about. Debtors pay debts, killers pay with their lives, it's only natural and right."

"Chen... Chen Yu! Are you alright?!" The plump neighbor also snapped out of his shock, grabbed Chen Yu's shoulder, and shook him vigorously, "What nonsense are you talking?!"

"Quiet!"

The head of the inspection team kept his gaze fixed on Chen Yu, "Why did you kill him?"

"He had a conflict with my brother," Chen Yu scoffed coldly, "No one can disrespect my brother. If someone does, they have to die that very night."

"Yu... Yu bro..." The plump neighbor stood there stupefied.

"Then may I ask..." the green-haired Transcendent next to the head of the inspection team stepped forward and asked, "how did you kill him?"

"Just like that, in the bathroom. Pummeling and then he was dead."

"...But he was stabbed to death with a long sword."

"Yes, that's right," Chen Yu nodded, "I was just using a metaphor, he was 'sworded' by me."

"..."

Hearing this, many Transcendents from the Inspection Bureau exchanged glances.

The green-haired Transcendent frowned deeply and continued to ask, "Even if you had a weapon, he was a C-level supernatural Transcendent. How could you, just a newbie, have that capability?"

"Ah... well," Chen Yu explained patiently, "I attacked him by surprise, he didn't react in time..."

"Nonsense!" the green-haired Transcendent suddenly shouted, "The deceased wasn't killed with a sword at all! And there were clear signs of a struggle in the bathroom! With your newbie strength, how could you possibly have the ability to kill him? Bullshit!"

Chen Yu: "..."

The green-haired Transcendent: "He wasn't killed by you at all!"

Chen Yu: "..."

"Chen Yu, why are you lying?" the head of the inspection team also spoke.

Chen Yu: "..."

"...Sigh."

After a long silence, Chen Yu heaved a deep sigh and said to his plump neighbor, "Fatty, they don't believe it. I can't take the blame for you."

The plump neighbor, moved, hugged Chen Yu, "It's okay, brother, you really didn't have to do this... Fuck! I'm not the murderer! I didn't kill anyone!!"

"Bro, just confess. You can't fight them," Chen Yu said.

"I didn't! I didn't go anywhere yesterday!" the plump neighbor was close to crying.

"Enough," the head of the inspection team, annoyed by the noise, waved his hand dismissively, "Investigation is about evidence. The true can't be falsified, and the false can't become true."

"What he means is," Chen Yu explained to the plump neighbor, "you can't escape."

Plump neighbor: "..."

"Let's go," the head of the inspection team, holding a file bag, turned and left.

The rest of the Inspection Bureau's Transcendents immediately followed.

As they left the villa, the green-haired Transcendent spoke seriously next to the team leader, "It seems it's not them. We need to expand the scope of our investigation."

"Hmm."

The head of the inspection team walked faster, his mind extremely agitated, "Damn it, something feels off..."

...

"OK then."

Watching the Inspection Bureau personnel leave, Chen Yu's expression returned to calm, and he patted the plump neighbor on the shoulder, "We've cleared our suspicion. Let's get back to what we were doing."

"How can you be so sure?"

"You have an alibi for the whole time, and I don't have the strength yet," Chen Yu shrugged, yawning as he headed upstairs, "Let them investigate. I'm going back to sleep."

But he didn't manage to fall asleep.

Shortly after the Supernatural Review Bureau left, the college tutor notified all students via the WeChat group to resume classes.

So a cursing Chen Yu and his now "emotionally stable" chubby neighbor headed to school together.

After the two had left,

the butler gathered all the servants and meticulously arranged the cleaning tasks.

Then, he entered the first-floor machine room himself to continue pulling up all the surveillance footage of the chubby neighbor being present.

To help his master clear the suspicion.

"B... butler..." At that moment, a maid cautiously approached and knocked on the wooden door of the machine room.

"What is it?" The butler, seated in front of the monitor, didn't turn around.

"There's something I'd like to discuss with... you."

"Speak."

The maid looked around to make sure no one else was nearby, then stepped into the machine room, closed the door, and whispered, "That... butler, last night when I was delivering sober-up tea to the overnight guests... um..."

The butler slowly turned his head, staring intently at the maid, "What happened."

"I entered Mr. Chen Yu's room."

"And then what?"

"At that time, I found that there was no one in the room," the maid said, nervously twisting her skirt.

"..."

"..."

An eerie silence fell in the machine room.

After a while,

"Oh..." the butler nodded, turned back to continue manipulating the mouse to pull up the footage, "Okay, I've got it. You can go."

"Yes." The maid bowed deeply and turned to leave.

Then, what she didn't see,

was that the instant she turned around, the butler magically produced a small dagger and twirled it between his fingers.

Glinting with spots of cold light...

...

The death of the man with gold-rimmed glasses was like a trivial subplot in a blockbuster movie.

Brief and meaningless.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

In the subsequent days, Chen Yu's life was unaffected by it.

As for the chubby neighbor, the Inspection Bureau searched for him numerous times.

After all, from the "motive for murder," only Chen Yu and the chubby neighbor were highly suspect.

But Chen Yu, being a new Transcendent student with an F- rating in supernatural abilities, had no possible way to kill the man with gold-rimmed glasses in close combat.

So the inspectors had no choice but to repeatedly probe the chubby neighbor for a breakthrough.

And, of course, their efforts were futile...

As time passed, Chen Yu also slowly learned a lot about the Transcendent world.

The "First Layer of Contralife Skill" he copied from the chubby neighbor also grew quickly under his tutor's guidance.

His strength became more solid.

The days passed uneventfully.

Until the morning of the 15th, when Chen Yu woke from his sleep and saw a new title above his head...

"..."

"Fuck!"

"Motherfucker!!!"

An hysterical roar of despair echoed faintly...

...
