NOVEL WEB Ch. 97
Chapter 97: You’re Still the Shadiest
[Yiming’s foster father’s identity is indeed a mystery, actually the spiritual leader of the Former Ability Guild.]
[Sister Feiling is okay, thank goodness, wuwuwu!]
[Just one scene of turning away, but everyone knows it’s Heige. So, the sunglasses disguise is pretty much useless, right?]
[Got my blood pumping, now the manga’s officially entering the main line, right?]
[Doujin, sketching Heige’s new outfit, the bigshot’s definitely a hottie!]
...
[Analysis post, where will the manga go next!]
1L OP
Characters from the past are reappearing one after another, I’d call this the mobilization before the climax.
In the Zhusheng Arc, Cat Tang upgraded to B-rank, Crying Bird fully mastered her ability, Flipping Fish is still offline, but his domain-type ability is no less than some B-ranks.
Currently, the main cast’s average level is B-rank, and Little Corgi’s probably not far from ranking up.
The main line is clear now: six years ago, the Former Ability Guild’s revolution failed, leaving sparks to rebel against the Empire’s noble class, and Little Corgi’s group is the new generation’s ‘Former Ability Guild,’ now ‘Tide.’
I’m betting that next, Yiming’s group will first focus on saving the Former Ability Guild’s survivors, instead of, like bigshot Heige, directly storming the enemy’s doorstep.
Why? Because Little Corgi and Heige aren’t walking the same path.
2L
OP wrote a lot, I’m with OP.
Bigshot Heige and Little Corgi are definitely not on the same path.
Little Corgi hasn’t stopped getting beat up these past few days.
Bigshot Heige hasn’t stopped beating people up.
3L
Sometimes I feel like, if I crossed over to the Extreme Black world, being a Zhusheng City resident might be better than a Ranmu City resident.
Look at the kind of demon you guys invited over.
4L
With bigshot Heige standing on Tide’s side, I suddenly feel at ease.
Big shots stepping in, can this round possibly lose? Can it!
...
The climax at the end of the manga drove readers wild for a while, and three days after the conclusion of the main storyline’s Zhusheng Arc, Heige’s personal arc, the Ranmu Arc, also reached its finale.
The Eternal Night of Ranmu City brought madness, with Dan’s battle against Lin Ruye and Heige’s sudden appearance.
After the sky-darkening swarm of insects, sunlight broke through the clouds and descended upon the land once more.
The tormented civilians in the city wept at the sight of that ray of sunlight.
At the end of the manga, Li Li stood in District 13, looking up at the sunlight, slightly squinting her eyes.
What followed—her departure from District 13 with Dan and their encounter with Yu Xiao—did not appear in the manga, nor did her investigation and speculations about Lin Ran’s death.
Li Li thought this was probably because the manga artist deemed these details temporarily unimportant to the main storyline.
And just as Li Li thought, the forum went wild again.
[My virtuous wife Red Crane, is that an Adam’s apple on your neck?]
[My Shura big sister! Aaaah, manga artist, just kill me already. My Shura big sister’s got something bigger than mine?!]
[Revisiting the forum’s masterpiece Transmigrating into the Ranmu Arc to Build a Harem, the OP and three cross-dressing big shots’ unavoidable love story (dog)]
[Kicking down the door, Ge has leveled up this time, seizing the city in one move. Anyone still daring to invite him over as a guest? Hahaha.]
[Woof woof woof! Nobody’s stealing my spot tonight! I’m Heige’s favorite little doggy! Woof!]
[What I once thought the Ranmu Arc would be: boss Lin clan noble, protagonist Heige. The actual Ranmu Arc: boss Heige, protagonists all the residents of Ranmu City.]
[What is this?! The birth of a king?!?!]
[Little Corgi next door, take a good look. One’s so weak they’re digging tunnels to escape, while the other faces an SS-rank ability user head-on and snatches their city.]
[Transient villains, unyielding Heige. Heige big shot, forever the best!]
...
[My male god is the most beautiful even in women’s clothing, hehe.]
1L OP
It’s the male god, so why did you cross-dress using Li’s face?
Is this really a case of “you died, so I became you”?
2L
I was hoping to catch a flashback of Li in the Ranmu Arc, but I didn’t expect it to happen like this...
Ge, you’re the pettiest of them all.
I was dumbfounded when Shura big sister used her illusion.
The further it went, the wider my mouth dropped.
Good lord, this is a path I never imagined.
This cross-dressing Heige fooled two people in one go.
Dan Dog’s fine with it, he’s having fun, but the lord of Ranmu City died unjustly!
You said we were sisters, so how did you change genders!
3L
Cao, Heige, the best damage-dealing friend of the year. I’m dying of laughter. You don’t even use your own face when cross-dressing?
4L
Ge: Li, you’re dead, I’m heartbroken. I need a cross-dressing identity, lend me your face.
5L
After deceiving Little Corgi with his best friend’s aura, Heige pulls a new trick: borrowing a face for cross-dressing.
6L
Hahahahaha, I’m dying of laughter.
This doesn’t even seem fake.
Are you touched by this bestie bond, Ahoge Li?
7L
Li: Thanks for the invite. Just died, about to flip the coffin lid and beat up that troublemaker.
8L
I’m suddenly picking up a hint of sadness.
If Li were still alive, she’d definitely be furious and throw shade at Heige.
But Li’s dead, so no one’s there to scold Heige no matter how much he messes around.
When Heige was cross-dressing, did he suddenly feel lonely?
The person who’d have stood by his side is gone.
9L
That’s a huge knife you’re swinging upstairs.
10L
No, I refuse to take the knife!
Changing the topic, is there anything Heige can’t do?
He retrieved the hero’s remains that Tide couldn’t take back.
He killed high-rank ability users others couldn’t.
He single-handedly made nobles tremble in fear.
Now he’s even pulling off cross-dressing infiltration.
What can’t he do?
Tell me! What else!
11L
Is it possible he can’t give birth?
12L
With ability users and that world’s medical level, you never know, hmm...
13L
I’ve realized!
Heige big shot, omnipotent!
...
[Doujin: Ghost Ahoge Li: I’ll just quietly watch you make trouble.]
1L OP
[Chibi Ghost Li floating in the air, staring at cross-dressing Ge beside her, dead-eyed.jpg]
2L
I’ll add the caption!
Ahoge Li: What sin did I commit to end up with a friend like you?
3L
Hahahaha, so hurry up and flip the coffin lid!
...
[Ge!!! Look at me! I’m also an obedient, well-behaved doggy who can walk myself!]
1L OP
Look at me, look at me! I also want to be commanded up close by Heige!
Hurry, hurry, step on me, humiliate me, order me! Woof woof woof woof!
Dan Dog, my life’s aspiration, wuwuwu!
2L
Good lord, it’s Dan-chan when things are fine, but Dan Dog when there’s trouble.
Bullying Dan-dan because he can’t come bite you?
3L
That said, Dan Dog’s the real winner in life this time.
4L
Hahahahaha, I thought Dan’s nickname would be Chihuahua or Pomeranian or something, but it’s so straightforward.
Dan Dog, why didn’t you call him Dog Egg?
5L
Woof woof woof woof! Even if I’m called Dog Egg, I’d still be Heige’s little doggy!
6L
I’m different, woof! I want to be stepped on by Shura big sister’s high heels!
7L
You guys are terrifying. What normal person would want to be a dog?
So why are you fighting with me, a woof-star, for the owner?
8L
?!
So there’s not a single human in this thread? Just dogs?
9L
Maybe there’s a kitty, meow.
Heige big shot already has two dogs, time to keep a cat, right? Winks
10L
So there’s really no one human here!
...
【Analysis Post: Is This Heige Looking Like Li, or Heige Deliberately Teasing His Friend?】
1L OP
Hmph, this level of teasing is totally something Heige would do.
2L
Pinching my fingers to divine, it doesn’t seem like an act.
3L
Heige, the bigshot, I wouldn’t be surprised by anything he does.
4L OP
Let’s analyze the first possibility a bit.
It’s not impossible they look alike, but if so, either he and Li are blood-related, or they’re experimental androids.
5L
That said, I feel like Heige, the troublemaker, cross-dressing with his friend’s face is just too normal.
So normal that other possibilities seem absurdly unlikely.
6L
To be honest, when I saw Shura using illusion, my first thought was: Heige, bigshot, does Li know you’re doing this?
7L
Looks like everyone has a deep understanding of Heige’s character.
Like causing trouble, training dogs, kicking gyms, and cross-dressing with his best friend’s face.
8L
This is very Heige-esque, no problem.
...
【To Friends Writing Harem Doujin, Are You All Okay?】
1L OP
Your wife turned into a husband, how does it feel?
2L
I’ll kill the manga artist.
3L
I’ll kill the manga artist.
4L
I’ll kill the manga artist.
...
19L
The manga artist better hide for life, or I’ll send him a truckload of razor blades!
20L
Heh, this time the manga artist drew a girl and called it a guy.
Who’d believe Dan is a guy? I don’t believe Red Crane is a guy.
Shura, the little sister, must be a girl!
21L
Lighting a cigarette, if my Shura little sister wasn’t holding a knife to my neck right now, I’d believe the manga artist’s nonsense.
22L
Exactly! They’re absolutely girls!
23L
Shura little sister, marry me!!!!
24L
Only a few people in this world have eyes that can see through the truth, and luckily, I’m one of them.
Red Crane! My wife! My gentle and virtuous wife!
She’s definitely a girl!!!!
...
The forum was full of laughter and some people’s wails, the atmosphere extremely harmonious.
There were also posts analyzing combat power and plot, but Li Li glanced through them and found nothing noteworthy.
Lin Ran’s death was shrouded in mystery.
Even she, half a participant, hadn’t confirmed any solid information, let alone the forum readers with missing information.
Some guesses were quite fanciful, though.
One said, “It was actually Heige who did it,” reasoning that Heige’s actions this time seemed premeditated and planned.
Li Li could only say she was indeed prepared to take down the Lin clan nobles, so half-prepared, maybe.
Another guess was that the Prophet left more than just them as sparks, so someone else was avenging Lin Ran.
Li Li felt this was somewhat close, but if such a person existed, why hadn’t they acted before her appearance?
Moreover, she suspected Lin Ran’s killer was an SS-rank ability user.
If Tide had an ability user of that level, why would they hide and suffer heavy losses for so long?
Finally, one particularly interesting guess said the Prophet had been resurrected.
Li Li shook her head as she read.
If that were true, she’d be doomed.
Currently, the most suspicious person in her eyes was undoubtedly Yu Xiao, and his move from Zhusheng City to Ranmu City had just sounded the alarm for her.
She wasn’t afraid of danger coming, only of danger brewing where she couldn’t see.
So she was quite pleased that Yu Xiao had exposed himself voluntarily.
“Rest up, tomorrow I’ll properly meet him.” Li Li put down her phone.
