Chapter 74 The Conman's Last Masterpiece
Chapter 74 The Conman's Last Masterpiece
The two of them worked together and rushed in.
Zhang Lingyun released an [Energy Shield], gripped the [Thunder Forged Sword] in one hand, and was ready to throw out the [Ghoul] with the other.
Ding Shuangshuang unleashed a full-force attack, her fingertips slashing out with a [Death Finger].
A streak of emerald green lightning cleaved through the dry air, turning the entire room green.
Just as the dean was about to get up and retaliate, he was struck in the chest.
Then the body began to decompose, gradually turning into a pile of black ash.
Is it really that simple?
Both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
However, what happened next—
Zhang Lingyun discovered a problem: the transaction had not been completed.
This can only mean one thing: they haven't killed the witch's enemy yet.
The two men walked forward with some doubt, examined the dean's body, and felt that he was definitely dead.
Just as Ding Shuangshuang was wondering, Zhang Lingyun finally discovered the problem.
He picked up the dean's ID card and found that the name on it was "Wei Chongshan".
"This dean's name isn't Chen Muyan, so what's going on?"
The two looked at each other, both a little confused.
Seeing the computer on the director's desk, Zhang Lingyun decided to check the nursing home's records.
Then he discovered a problem:
None of the nursing home staff members are named Chen Muyan, but one patient does have that name.
Moreover, the patient's medical records were very vague, and he was kept in a heavily guarded intensive care unit.
The two discussed it briefly.
Now that the dean has been killed, I feel that it will definitely cause chaos tomorrow, and I probably won't have another chance to come back.
Therefore, the deal that the witch mentioned must be completed tonight.
So the two decided to go all in and, according to the files on the dean's computer, find the strange patient named Chen Muyan.
The two took the dean's access card and entered the highly confidential area.
After being forced to kill several more security guards, they finally arrived at their destination.
This place is less like a hospital ward and more like a super-secure prison.
Inside, there was a man locked up, in a similar situation to the witch, his body also covered with various instruments and syringes.
Look at his facial features and body proportions.
It can be inferred that he was once a very handsome man.
But now, his body has weakened to the extreme, and he looks like nothing more than skin and bones.
Moreover, he has a lightning bolt scar on his forehead, which greatly affects his appearance.
Since things had already come to this point, Zhang Lingyun stopped summoning Miss Nine-Headed Bird and went straight to the man.
"Are you Chen Muyan?"
The man opened one eye, initially looking listless.
But after thinking for a moment, he suddenly burst into laughter.
At the same time, the heart rate on the connected instrument display started to jump rapidly, and an alarm sound was emitted.
However, Ding Shuangshuang had already taken care of all the security personnel along the way, so no one came to check.
The man glanced at Zhang Lingyun and Ding Shuangshuang, then asked with a smile:
"Did you kill the dean?"
Zhang Lingyun asked curiously:
How did you know?
The man laughed even harder:
"Good riddance! That guy harmed so many people, he should have died long ago."
Zhang Lingyun was a little confused and asked:
"What exactly is going on?"
The man smiled and explained, as if introducing his masterpiece:
"Since you're going to kill me soon anyway, I'll just tell you a little bit."
Otherwise, after I die, no one will know about the con artist's deeds, which would be a great loss to the world.
Upon hearing this, Ding Shuangshuang's eyes flickered slightly.
"Are you the fraudster?"
"Little girl, have you heard of me?"
"My mother told me about it."
"That's great. Tell your mother the rest of my story and help spread my fame."
Then the con artist told a story that shocked both Zhang Lingyun and Ding Shuangshuang.
The story is roughly about a genius boy who was not only very handsome but also a master of the "Charm School".
He fooled the whole world, and police around the globe are after him, yet they don't even have his real name or a single photo.
Afterwards, the boy joined the "God Kingdom Organization" and did many bad things for the organization.
But later, he changed for love and wanted to leave the organization.
But getting on the pirate ship is easy; getting off is hard.
The organization not only refused to agree, but also injured his woman.
So, the fraudster decided to go big.
He orchestrated the pinnacle of his deception, fooling a legitimate deity.
When Zhang Lingyun heard this, he couldn't help but feel shocked.
I was not only shocked by the con artist's skill, but also shocked that there really is a God in this world.
But Ding Shuangshuang nudged him and reminded him:
"This guy is a con artist; the story he's telling now is probably just him trying to fool us."
The conman laughed:
"Just remember this for now, and you'll have a chance to verify it later."
Then he continued, saying that he had deceived the gods.
The god was furious and left him with a lightning-shaped scar.
The entire Divine Kingdom organization was enraged.
They locked him up here and used him as a test subject.
He has been in this dark and sunless place for who knows how many years.
For him now, death is a relief.
Therefore, he harbored no resentment whatsoever; on the contrary, he felt a sense of anticipation and eagerness.
After hearing this story, Zhang Lingyun was deeply moved.
He thought to himself that this man truly lived up to his reputation as a con artist, managing to fool an entire organization completely.
However, he still had a few questions he didn't understand.
Zhang Lingyun then asked:
Why did that witch want to kill you?
The conman said with a smile:
"She was originally a high-ranking officer in the [God Kingdom Organization], and she inexplicably fell in love with me, but I loved another woman."
So she orchestrated a terrorist attack that severely injured the woman I loved.
To get revenge on this witch, I used a trick to make the [God Kingdom Organization] think she was my accomplice, so she suffered the same punishment as me.
So now she really wants revenge on me.
Zhang Lingyun understood some of it, but an even bigger question arose.
"Then why did she say the dean's name was Chen Muyan? And why did she think he was her enemy?"
The conman smiled:
"Oh, that's because I also have a grudge against the dean. So I lied to that stupid woman: my name is Chen Muyan, and I became the dean."
Zhang Lingyun gave a thumbs up:
"That's amazing."
The conman, as if he had met a kindred spirit, laughed and said:
"Hehe! You flatter me!"
Although it was only a brief acquaintance, Zhang Lingyun greatly admired this person.
However, since he is a con artist, he has done many bad things before.
Therefore, Zhang Lingyun still needs to complete the deal with the witch as normal.
Zhang Lingyun asked earnestly:
"So, you're Chen Muyan, right?"
The conman smiled and said:
"Actually, my name isn't Chen Muyan. Chen Muyan is just a fictional character I made up. But if that woman wants revenge, then coming to me is definitely the right thing to do."
