I Use Illusions To Control The Whole World Chapter 12
Must be interesting
Upon reaching the second floor, the first thing Yang Dongqing saw was the dark golden ouroboros carved on the wall. The pattern was so lifelike it seemed alive. In the corners of the room, rows of white candles emitted the faint scent of jasmine.
Yang Dongqing paid no attention to these details. His full focus was on the black muzzles of the guns aimed at him not far ahead. This time, only two members of the Viper Gang stood in his way, but both held twin pistols, like two door guardians blocking the path.
“Where is Jasmine?” Yang Dongqing asked coldly.
The only response was the sound of a gunshot.
Bang!
A flash of fire burst from the dark barrel, and a brass-colored bullet screamed through the air. Yang Dongqing didn’t dodge. His speed couldn’t outmatch a bullet.
Clang!
Sparks flew as the bullet struck his body. His shirt was torn, revealing metallic skin underneath that gleamed with a cold light.
Bang bang bang…
A burst of dense gunfire interrupted his words. The bullets struck him like a storm, but they only tore his clothing, failing to cause any real harm. It was like shooting at a steel wall.
In the monitoring room, the Chief, Su Mu, grew more satisfied as he watched Yang Dongqing’s power on display. He also noticed a weakness—Yang Dongqing’s eyes. When the bullets flew, Yang Dongqing instinctively raised his hand to shield them.
“In that case, use grenades,” Su Mu ordered calmly through the intercom.
Following the command, the two black-clad men pulled out grenades from inside their jackets. Seeing this, Yang Dongqing’s calmness wavered. His expression changed slightly, and he charged toward the two with explosive speed, not giving them the chance to throw the grenades.
But if they couldn’t throw them, they simply wouldn’t.
“For the Chief!”
The two men shouted, holding the grenades high as they lunged forward without hesitation.
Boom! Boom!
A violent explosion tore through the corridor, ripping apart the walls around them. When the smoke cleared, two shattered corpses lay on the ground—and Yang Dongqing stood there, unscathed.
Su Mu’s eyes gleamed with heat. Was a Transcendent truly this powerful? Yang Dongqing had only become one for less than a month, yet he was already immune to bullets and could withstand grenades?
But a moment later, a violent fit of coughing snapped him out of his thoughts.
On the screen, Yang Dongqing was coughing up blood. Though he didn’t stop moving and only wiped the blood from his mouth before continuing forward, it was clear—his internal organs were not made of steel.
His weakness was his internal body.
The third floor. The same ouroboros carvings. The same white candles. But the enemies this time were two men dressed in heavy firefighting gear, each holding a large flamethrower. As soon as they saw Yang Dongqing, they didn’t say a word—just pulled the trigger.
A wall of flame surged out like a tidal wave, swallowing the corridor and engulfing Yang Dongqing completely.
But in the next moment, a charred figure leapt out of the flames, like a hunting leopard, rushing toward the two flame-wielding men. They seemed to know their fate already. They threw aside the flamethrowers and pulled out grenades they had prepared in advance.
“For the Chief!!”
Boom! Boom!
They were blown to pieces, and though Yang Dongqing was clearly suffering, he remained standing. His internal injuries worsened, blood pouring from his mouth. His hair and eyebrows were all burnt off, and his clothing had turned into blackened plastic clinging to his body.
But his movements showed that he was still able to fight.
In the monitoring room, Nan Mo stared in shock, her mouth wide open. Only now did she realize what kind of man had shared a bed with her that night.
Invulnerable to blades and bullets, impervious to fire—he was like a real-life superman.
So this was what a Transcendent was?
Nan Mo had first heard that term from Su Mu. No wonder Su Mu had gone to such lengths to capture Yang Dongqing…
If it was someone like Yang Dongqing… maybe he really could…
Nan Mo glanced at Su Mu from the corner of her eye but saw no trace of fear on him—only amusement, like a hunter who had found an interesting new prey.
For some reason, she felt that this man was far more terrifying than Yang Dongqing.
“Aren’t you worried at all?” she suddenly asked.
“Worried? About what?”
“You’re targeting a Transcendent like this. If he finds out you’re the one behind it, what do you think he’ll do? Your men clearly won’t be able to stop him.”
Su Mu turned his head slightly, his insightful eyes locked onto hers.
“Are you testing me?”
Nan Mo froze. “I’m just curious.”
Su Mu smiled warmly. “Rather than say I’m worried, I’d say I’m looking forward to it.”
“Looking forward to it?”
“Think about it. When Yang Dongqing finally makes it to me, only to see the woman he loves unharmed, even enjoying an M9 steak—what do you think his reaction will be?”
Nan Mo’s face turned pale. She understood what Su Mu meant. When Yang Dongqing found out she was part of this plot, what would happen then? She didn’t want to think about it—she didn’t dare to.
“It must be interesting.”
His gentle voice echoed in the monitoring room, but it chilled Nan Mo to the bone.
“Relax. It’s not that easy for him to reach me. The fourth floor is gas. Our previous tests have shown that although his surface is bulletproof, his internal organs are still vulnerable. That means he can’t resist poison gas. This is a special gas I bought at a high price from the black market. I doubt even a Transcendent can endure it.”
“What if he does? What if he really makes it to you in the end?”
Su Mu laughed even more happily. “Then that would be even more interesting. I imagine… I’d probably get torn to pieces, hahaha…”
He seemed to enjoy the image in his mind, even looking forward to it.
Nan Mo didn’t know how she was feeling anymore. Her mind drifted to unrelated memories—like when she was a child, before her father became addicted to gambling. Her family was once happy. She remembered getting a perfect score on a test and her father promising to take her to the amusement park that weekend. She had looked forward to it the entire week.
That kind of happiness, just thinking about it made her smile.
Now, Su Mu had that same expression.
Like a child filled with excitement.
