When system cheat becomes rampant!

Chapter 43: Chapter 43: The System is Not Waterproof



Lu Hong asked urgently, "Beifei, what about Chen Gang? Explain clearly."

"It will be clear," Xiang Beifei said.

At that moment, there seemed to drift a scent of something burning in the air; smoke began to spread, and the temperature started to rise.

"Where's the fire?"

Lu Hong looked up behind him, but just then, with a "whoosh," the fire sprinkler overhead in the parking garage burst open, and misty water sprayed out.

Lu Hong and Chen Gang were standing right underneath the fire sprinkler.

"Damn it!"

Lu Zhiwei was shocked, moving quickly to the side, but it was still a step too late; the mist drenched him, and his clothes began to form holes as if they had been splashed with magma.

Within these holes, a faint blue glow flickered in and out of sight.

[Thousand Faces Refined Reminder: When disguising as someone else, avoid contact with water, as it will wash away all disguises.]

This was the vulnerability Xiang Beifei discovered in Chen Gang's Thousand Faces Refined.

This superbly powerful disguise system was actually not waterproof!

Xiang Beifei was well aware that he could not make Lu Hong trust him on his own, even if he pointed out Chen Gang's disguise, the next moment Chen Gang would escape.

So all he could do was let Chen Gang attack the others, then lure Lu Hong to the parking lot, simply start a fire in a trash can, and trigger the fire sprinklers above, exposing Chen Gang in front of Lu Hong!

Lu Hong also noticed the anomaly on Lu Zhiwei's body, and realizing the truth, he exclaimed, "You are not my daughter, you are—"

"Bastard!"

Chen Gang glared at Xiang Beifei, then his figure vanished in front of Lu Hong!

His system could block electronic tracking devices, and Lu Hong was wearing tracking glasses at that moment. To him, Chen Gang was invisible.

Whoosh!

Chen Gang suddenly lunged, kicked off the wall, and leaped high towards Lu Hong.

But Lu Hong had already sensed the attack; his Perception was incredibly potent. Even without sight of Chen Gang, the moment Chen Gang struck, he detected the disturbance in the air and sidestepped, narrowly dodging Chen Gang's dagger.

Bang!

Lu Hong spun around and kicked, the potent force moving through his body. Relying on his sharp Perception, he aimed for the wrist where Chen Gang held the dagger.

Chen Gang was kicked away, crashing into a car window at a distance, shattering it into a hole!

"So strong!"

Xiang Beifei couldn't help but admire.

Lu Hong possessed the Investigation System; his reaction time was nearly top-notch, and combined with his own strength, he held his own against an invisible Chen Gang.

However, the blow did not bring Chen Gang down; with a push of his hands, he leaped out, putting some distance between himself and Lu Hong.

"Uncle Lu, the glasses! Take them off and you'll see him!" Xiang Beifei shouted.

"The glasses?"

Lu Hong didn't quite understand why Xiang Beifei wanted him to do that, but remembering that Xiang Beifei had identified something off about Lu Zhiwei earlier, he subconsciously chose to follow his advice without hesitation, tearing off the glasses.

But when his gaze landed on the person not far away, he was utterly stunned!

"Chen... Chen Gang?"

Lu Hong looked incredulously at the familiar figure before him, his mind going blank for a moment.

The person in front of him, whose disguise was washed away by the firefighting spray, was none other than the cherished friend he had once lost!

Chen Gang glared at Lu Hong with a gloomy expression, then turned his gaze toward Xiang Beifei, who was joining in on the commotion at the side, his heart filled with unending fury!

He simply couldn't understand how he had been exposed!

In order to kill Lu Hong, he had strained his brain to lure Lu Hong to the mall, using the system's disguise and relying on his understanding of law enforcement officers to play them for fools.

Even Xue Mo, someone with a predictive-type system, had no way of determining who he had disguised himself as.

But in the end, this kid had pierced through his disguise!

Looking at the kid's age, he should still be in school, perhaps he had only recently awakened his system. How could he, an S-tier system owner, be seen through by the other party?

"Chen Gang... you... you're still alive?" Lu Hong looked at the other party in astonishment, "I thought you were killed by Lai Wuying..."

"He is Lai Wuying," Xiang Beifei said.

Lu Hong was taken aback!

"You're Lai Wuying? How could this be..."

Lu Hong seemed unable to accept this fact.

Half a year ago, when the news came that Chen Gang had been harmed by Lai Wuying and had died in the line of duty, Lu Hong had been depressed for a long time. He secretly swore to apprehend Lai Wuying and avenge his friend.

But he never, ever expected that when he saw Chen Gang again today, he would suddenly be told that the very person he had been chasing was the supposedly slain old friend!

He remembered the times in the eastern jurisdiction when he had pursued Lai Wuying with Chen Gang. Many doubts started to clear up with Chen Gang's "resurrection from the dead."

"What exactly is going on here?"

Lu Hong clenched his fists, his voice shifting in tone.

"If you hadn't discovered the connection between me and Lai Wuying six months ago, I wouldn't have needed to come after you!"

Chen Gang spat out bitterly.

With things having come to this point and Thousand Faces Slash Moon in hand, he couldn't be bothered to keep up the disguise any longer.

Six months prior, when Lu Hong went to find Chen Gang, due to a moment of carelessness on Chen Gang's part, Lu Hong stumbled upon significant traces left by Lai Wuying, leading to a joint investigation with two other powerful experts.

At that time, Lu Hong had not realized that Lai Wuying was Chen Gang. Chen Gang knew that if the investigation continued, it would eventually lead back to him, yet he wasn't strong enough to kill Lu Hong at the time. His only option was to fake his own death to destroy the evidence.

When Lu Hong followed the trail to Chen Gang, he found that Lai Wuying had "murdered" Chen Gang viciously. The scene was extremely bloody, and Chen Gang didn't leave a whole corpse behind.

Knowing Lu Hong's investigative skills, he disguised the scene himself, making it chaotic to ensure that even Lu Hong with his powerful Investigation System couldn't identify it.

Having the cover of being the captain of the eastern jurisdiction's law enforcement team, Chen Gang was free to commit crimes under the identity of "Lai Wuying," which made him grow stronger.

But all of it was ruined by Lu Hong!

Chen Gang couldn't accept it, he grew to hate Lu Hong, vowing to take back everything he owned!

Once the storm had passed, he plotted this entire operation.

The opposing district had a prophet, which he already knew about, so he deliberately made the prophet foresee that he would come to this mall. He then used his system to disguise himself, preparing to kill Lu Hong with a fatal blow from Thousand Faces Slash Moon, and then impersonate Lu Hong to become the law enforcement team captain of the western jurisdiction.

That way, he could continue to cover up the actions of "Lai Wuying" with the identity of a law enforcement team captain.

The entire plan had been proceeding orderly, and even just moments ago, he had the perfect opportunity to strike a deadly blow.

But he hadn't expected the carefully laid trap to be completely destroyed by this kid who came out of nowhere!

Chen Gang was filled with bone-deep hatred for Xiang Beifei!
