Chapter 161 - The Abyss of Terror (1)

After parting with Class 2, Chen Yu walked out of the station alone. He looked at the endless stream of people in the square and was at a loss for a moment.

He didn’t know where to start.

He stood where he was and thought for a long time. Suddenly, he thought of Ma Li.

If that woman was his teammate, she would definitely be able to arrange a feasible, effective, and correct plan.

It was much more reliable than the current ‘blind’ plan.

“This mission… is not easy to handle.”

Scratching his ears, Chen Yu carried his backpack and wandered aimlessly around this Tang City.

Tang city was located in the eastern part of He Province. It was named after the place where Emperor Tang Taizong, Li Shimin, stayed during his expedition to Koguryo.

It was a large city with a population of more than two million.

Chen Yu strolled around for the whole afternoon. Even when it was close to evening, he still hadn’t walked through a quarter of this large city.

When the sky was getting darker and darker, he took out his mobile phone and opened WeChat. He posted in his teammates’ small group, “It’s almost seven o’clock. What are you all doing?”

[Bahuang Yao: I went to the library and borrowed a few books from the Level 1 fighter zone. This way, I can expose my identity as a Level 1 fighter, right?]

[Chen Yu: Smart. Be careful. See if there’s anyone following you.]

[Bahuang Yao: Okay.]

[Chen Yu: Where’s Duan Ye? Where are you? Is Duan Ye here?]

The group was silent.

After a long while, Duan Ye sent a reply.

[Duan Ye: Brother Yu, come to the Red Light Street in the North District! These girls are too beautiful!]

[Group member ‘Duan Ye’ has been kicked out by the group leader.]

[Chen Yu: Alright, since one of them is dead, only the two of us are left.]

[Bahuang Yao: …]

[Chen Yu: Where are you staying tonight?]

[Bahuang Yao: I’ll find a hotel near the library to stay. What about you?]

[Chen Yu: I think the North District is suspicious. I’ll find a hotel to stay in. Keep in touch.]

[Bahuang Yao: …]

Putting away his phone, Chen Yu had a target. He took a taxi and asked the driver, “Sir, do you know North District’s Red Light Street?”

“Yo, young man? You started quite early?” The driver stepped on the accelerator and said in surprise, “You’re so young. Can you handle it?”

“You don’t have to worry about that. My constitution is not a problem.”

“Tsk tsk.” The driver smacked his lips. “Times have really changed. Now you youngsters can look for a little sister whenever you want. When we were young, our families kept a close watch on us, so we could only fish for carp. Speaking of carp, that mouth is no less than…”

Chen Yu: “???”

…

“I wish you good health.”

In less than half an hour, the taxi arrived at Red Light Street in North District. After the driver left a message, he left in the dust.

Chen Yu, who had strange knowledge + 1 + 1 + 1, had yet to recover from the sea of knowledge when he was surrounded by three to four women.

“Handsome, are you playing in the shop?”

“Our house is an old shop.”

“My shop has been renovated. Come quickly…”

Chen Yu came to his senses and pushed the crowd away. “I’ll walk around by myself. Don’t follow me.”

As he spoke, he strode into the depths of the street.

As the top scorer of Qingcheng City and a top student of Beijing University, how could he, Chen Yu, be so lacking in taste? How could he fool around while doing missions?

There was a good reason why he wanted to live on Red Light Street.

As everyone knew, the better a person’s body was, the stronger their physiological impulses would be.

And martial artists were the group with the best physiques, so naturally, their desires were the strongest.

Then, for the wandering martial artists who had been wandering outside for a long time, every city’s Red Light Street was a 100% necessary place to pass by.

And the martial artists who had died one after another in Tang City were all wandering martial artists…

Therefore, Chen Yu was smart enough to stay in the Red Light Street…

“An excellent martial artist must have the intelligence to match his strength,” he sighed and walked straight into a flashy nightclub.

After a careful observation, he entered another nightclub with the scent of a woman’s perfume…

One, one, another.

His work continued until the wee hours of the morning.

Chen Yu collected a lot of information, including the terrain, the environment, the composition of martial artists, the number of customers, the average beauty of the girls, as well as the distribution of the local underworld.

He took out his phone and looked at the time. He continued to walk two rounds before he finally found a hotel.

The name of the hotel was very strange. It was called ‘September 2nd.’

It took up a lot of space, but the decoration was not very good.

It was a stark contrast to the exquisite nightclubs around it.

“There’s only one hotel in such a big Red Light Street?”

Chen Yu touched his stubble and did not think much about it. He directly pushed the door open and entered.

Creak–

Along with the ear-piercing friction of the front door bearing, a na?ve and charming middle-aged man came up to welcome him. When he saw the long sword on Chen Yu’s back, his eyes lit up. “Hello! Welcome to Hotel 92.”

“Hello, get me a room.”

“No problem. Sir, you’re a martial artist, right?”

“Oh?” Chen Yu raised his eyebrows. “I am.”

“Sir Martial Artist, your accommodation is half-price.” The middle-aged man ran back to the counter and took out a bunch of keys. “I’ll take you to your room.”

“There’s such a good thing?” Chen Yu was amused.

“Of course. Martial artists have risked their lives to protect us, so we naturally have to give something back.” The middle-aged man patted his chest. “This is called having a conscience.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Then you have a good conscience.”

“Follow me. I’ll find you a room with good sunlight.”

“Okay.”

Following the shop owner upstairs, they walked along the corridor.

Chen Yu noticed that both sides of the wall were hung with pictures of a girl. He was puzzled. “Is this a celebrity?”

“Heh.” The middle-aged man laughed foolishly and scratched his head. “This is my daughter.”

“Why did you put your daughter’s photo here?”

“My daughter has passed away.”

“Oh, I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay.” The middle-aged man casually wiped the dust off a photo. “This hotel was opened for her. The name of the shop on September 2nd is also my daughter’s birthday.”

“Sure. You’re a good father.”

“It’s a pity that she was born in the apocalypse.” The middle-aged man sighed. “But at least she still existed. If it weren’t for you martial artists, the entire human race would have perished.”

“It’s all for the sake of saving each other. There’s no need to distinguish between warriors and warriors so clearly.”

“That’s true.” The middle-aged man stopped and opened a door. “Master Warrior, what do you think of this room?”

“It’s pretty good. I’ll pay for it on WeChat.”

“There’s no rush. Have you eaten? I just made supper myself. Don’t mind if we eat together?”

“Thank you, I’m not very hungry now.” The other party’s enthusiasm made Chen Yu a little uncomfortable. He walked into the room with an embarrassed smile and refused. “I’ll try your cooking again in the future. I’ll pay first and then go to bed early.”

“Okay, okay, okay. You martial artists should pay more attention to rest.”

After paying the 80 yuan fee, Chen Yu watched the shop owner leave while humming a tune. He shrugged and closed the door.

After putting down the luggage and the main board, he lay on the bed in a ‘夯’ shape. He took out his phone and opened WeChat.

The page was already filled with notifications of Duan Ye applying to join the group.

After he clicked “Yes”, Duan Ye immediately sent a message.

[Duan Ye: Brother Yu, you finally let me in. I’ve made a major discovery!]

Seeing this line of text, Chen Yu’s spirit shivered and he quickly typed a reply.

[Chen Yu: What did you find?]

[Duan Ye: you can’t believe me even if I tell you!]

[Chen Yu: Hurry up and tell me.]

[Duan Ye: I saw someone who looks exactly like you in the nightclub!]

[Chen Yu: …]

[Bahuang Yao: …]

[Duan Ye: Don’t not believe me! I am hiding under the hotel where he is staying. Brother Yu, come quickly!]

Chen Yu: “…”

After a moment of silence, Chen Yu walked to the window and pulled open the curtains.

He saw a figure peeking out from behind the street tree outside the window.

[Duan Ye: F*ck! He’s looking at me! He’s looking at me!]

[Group member ‘Duan Ye’ has been kicked out by the group leader.]

[Chen Yu: It’s so late. You should go to sleep. Duan Ye is crazy. Don’t worry about him.]

[Bahuang Yao: Okay.]

After exiting WeChat, Duan Ye sent a message not long after.

[Duan Ye: I’m just kidding, I’m just curious why you’re here… Brother Yu, pull me back quickly.]

[Chen Yu: Be careful to split up. Find another place. I’ll be in charge here.]

[Duan Ye: Brother Yu, are you not being careful? I was the one who found this treasure land first!]

[Chen Yu: The Red Light Street is filled with all kinds of people and dangers. As the class monitor, I will definitely take over. You can change to a safer area.]

After sending the message, Chen Yu didn’t wait for a reply. He immediately turned off his phone and pulled the curtains tight.

Then, he took out the sleep aid that he always brought with him from his backpack…

…

At the same time.

In the Tang City Public Security Bureau.

A police officer in a white shirt with bloodshot eyes was staring at the monitor without blinking.

The screen was full of information about the deceased.

“Captain, it’s so late. You should get some rest.” A police officer handed him a cup of tea.

“Okay.” The police officer didn’t even turn his head, carefully reading the lines of text. “Are those people here?”

“Are they students from Beijing University?”

“Yes.”

“They’re already here. They’ve all spread out.”

“That’s good.”

“Captain…” The police officer was about to leave, but he stopped in his tracks and said hesitantly, “Aren’t you being too rash in this matter? I’m afraid…”

“What are you afraid of?” The police officer turned his head, and the color in his eyes became even more intense.

“If something happens to those three students… That’s the elite class of Beijing University. If we offend Beijing University, we won’t have a good ending.”

“But if the foreign martial artists continue to die like this, we won’t have a good ending!” The police officer pulled open the collar of his white shirt. “This case is rarely seen in the world! It’s f*cking ridiculous! Even the country is scared. They gave an ultimatum to Tang City. We have no way out.”

“But…”

He picked up the teacup and drank the boiling hot tea in one gulp. The police officer’s face was ferocious. “If those three students die, let me die with them…”
