Chapter 330 - Investigating -- Chen Yu (3)

“Handsome.”

After bringing Bahuang Yao into a small hotel, Chen Yu slapped his ID card on the desk and raised two fingers. “Get two rooms.”

The man sitting behind the desk raised his head and looked at Chen Yu, then at the shy Bahuang Yao. He revealed a knowing smile, put away his ID card, and said, “I’m sorry, Sir. There are no extra rooms. There’s only one red romantic round bed room left.”

“Only one room left?” Chen Yu was slightly stunned.

“Yes.”

“Then…” Chen Yu turned his head and looked at the young girl. He thought that he had ‘things’ to do anyway, so he shrugged indifferently. “Alright, let’s book this room.”

“Okay, Sir, look here and look at the camera…”

After filming, Chen Yu took the id card and room card and waved at Bahuang Yao. “Let’s go.”

“…Okay.” The girl squeezed the words out of her throat and weakly followed behind Chen Yu.

The two of them went up to the second floor and went straight to the round bed room at the end of the corridor. When they pushed open the door and saw the decorations inside, Bahuang Yao felt like she was about to go soft.

Beside the red round bed, there was a cross.

On the small table under the cross, there were candles, hemp ropes, whips… everything was there…

Bahuang Yao: “…”

Chen Yu: “…Heh! Interesting.”

Bahuang Yao tried her best to suppress her body temperature that was about to soar again. ‘Muddleheaded’, she walked into the room. “Brother Yu… Brother Yu… I’ll take a… a shower first.”

“A shower? That’s great! You go ahead.”

“…Okay.”

Clenching the corner of her clothes, the young girl turned around, not daring to look into Chen Yu’s eyes. She only glanced at Chen Yu’s lower abdomen before entering the glass bathroom that was covered by the curtains with a red face.

As long as the curtains were pulled open, everything could be seen clearly.

Moreover, the curtains were outside the shower room…

“A good opportunity!”

After the young girl disappeared into the bathroom, Chen Yu’s eyes flashed with a bright light. He let out two wretched laughs before tiptoeing out of the room, locking the door. With a whoosh, he jumped down from the window of the second floor corridor and ran wildly into the night sky outside the street.

“I’ve finally stabilized her!”

“Hurry up and find her father…”

…n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

In the bathroom.

After closing the glass door, Bahuang Yao leaned against the corner of the wall like a frightened rabbit. She looked nervously out of the glass window.

She was afraid that Chen Yu would suddenly pull open the curtains from outside…

“Hu…”

“Hu hu…”

Her breathing turned from hurried to peaceful.

After leaning against the corner and waiting for a long time, she did not notice any movement from the curtains outside the bathroom. Only then did she slowly relax. Biting her lips, she began to hesitantly take off her clothes.

Jacket.

Shirt.

Socks.

Underwear…

When there was only one piece left, she stiffened in a half-naked position.

She stuck out her butt and carefully observed for a full two minutes before she mustered her courage and continued to move.

“Brother Yu, you’re still very upright…”

Bahuang Yao heaved a sigh of relief.

She originally thought that Chen Yu would ‘wickedly’ pull open the curtains while she was undressing.

“But…”

The young lady held her flat chest and hesitated.

“Even if there are curtains, you can still see the shadows in the bathroom from the outside, right… ?”

“But my figure…”

Lowering her head, Bahuang Yao stared at the heel of her foot. A sense of ‘desolation’ spread from the bottom of her heart and spread throughout her body.

“I will be despised.”

“I will definitely be despised…”

“What if I am not satisfied with my figure and Brother Yu loses his desire? What if he leaves…”

Unknowingly, the girl’s thoughts had changed from ‘how to escape’ to ‘how not to disappoint’ Chen Yu.

After clutching her chest and struggling for a long time, Bahuang Yao clenched her teeth, grabbed the bra on the rack, and put it back on.

Then, she looked around and found two towels. She stuffed them into the bra.

She turned around and looked in the mirror.

“It’s finally flat.”

The girl was delighted. She found two more towels and stuffed them in.

“It’s bulging!”

Straightening her back, Bahuang Yao turned around in the mirror. When she saw her ‘well-proportioned’ figure, tears were about to fall.

“She’s so pretty…”

“Why didn’t I…”

Turning around, she looked at the bathroom’s glass window. Bahuang Yao’s joy was slightly reduced. She walked to the shower and turned on the tap.

Splash…

Dense droplets of water fell, wetting the girl’s body.

At the same time, she also wetted four bunches of towels.

The wool swelled when it met the water.

The girl’s figure became more and more upright.

Pa, pa, pa…

Covering her small face, Bahuang Yao excitedly stomped her feet on the spot and turned on the bathtub lamp. She tried to make her ‘figure’ project even brighter.

She wanted Chen Yu to see it more clearly.

“Brother Yu, you’re looking at me right now…”

With this thought in mind, the girl’s face turned red. She racked her brains to recall her ‘limited reserves’ of memories and made various ‘seductive’ poses.

Splash…

The shower continued to fall.

Accompanied by the ‘rustle’ of the water, time passed.

Soon, more than half an hour passed.

Bahuang Yao turned off the shower, dried her hair, and put on a large towel. She walked step by step to the glass door, and her heart pounded.

“Brother Yu…”

“You must pity me…”

Before she could finish her words, the girl mustered up her courage and pushed open the bathroom door. Her entire body instantly stiffened on the spot.

She saw that the ‘warm and romantic’ bedroom was empty.

Only a wisp of cold winter wind blew through the gap of the window, taking away all the warmth in the girl’s body.

Plop.

Leaning against the door, Bahuang Yao sat down limply, her gaze dull.

A touch of sadness, a touch of despair, a touch of desolation… They intertwined and lingered together, slowly extracting her soul.

“Brother Yu…”

“He despises me…”

…

“We can’t let Shanghai gather the population.”

In the dark secret chamber, a group of black-robed men formed a circle, their faces grim.

Among them, there was Duan Ye’s figure!

“Everyone knows the reason for the birth of the exotic beasts. Once Shanghai’s population exceeds 30 million…” In the center, a tall black-robed man said in a low voice, “That will definitely be a disaster.”

“But what should we do?” Another black-robed man who seemed to have a higher status said, “Create trouble in Shanghai? We have a lot of Wood Powder stored, so we can go into battle at any time.”

“It’s useless.”

The black-robed man in the lead shook his head. “Gathering all our strength to fight against the Beast Tide is the will of all humans at the moment. No matter how much damage we do, it will only go against the trend. Instead, it will incite the hatred of the people towards the Fair Association.”

“Yes.” Duan Ye, who had been standing in a corner and keeping his mouth shut, raised his hand. “After Shanghai defeated the Beast Tide, most of the people regained hope. Many of the middle-and low-level members of the Fair Association are withdrawing in large numbers.”

“That’s normal.” The leader of the black-robed men sighed. “The development of the Fair Association is essentially due to people’s despair towards the future. Now that Shanghai has defeated the Beast Tide, everything will be different.”

“…D*mn it.”

A female black-robed man let out an angry growl, unwilling to give up. “Originally, as long as we wait for Shanghai to be swallowed up, the remaining cities will be taken care of one by one. We humans could still be saved…”

“Plans can never keep up with changes.”

“It’s all that mysterious man’s fault. Does he know what he has done!?”

“It’s not his fault. He doesn’t know either.” Duan Ye’s expression was complicated.

“…”

The secret chamber fell into a brief silence.

Until another black-robed man raised his hand.

“Then what should we do now? The members in the Association have been lost, and the execution ability of the grassroots has been greatly reduced. The size and strength of the middle and upper echelons are also insufficient. They don’t have the capital to go against the entire society.”

“How about…” A black-robed man carefully suggested, “We publicize the ‘nature’ of the exotic beasts?”

“No!” The black-robed man’s expression changed drastically. “This is playing with fire! The vast majority of humans are selfish and narrow-minded. They are absolutely unwilling to sacrifice themselves to help others.”

“Yes.” Duan Ye shook his head. “Have you read a book called ‘Three Bodies’? When the crisis came, the fleeing humans knew that they were going to die. They didn’t wish for the lucky ones who had the ability to escape. Instead, they launched artillery fire to attack her. They wanted to drag those lucky ones to death with them.”

“That’s right.” The female black-robed person’s expression was sorrowful. “Once the origin of the exotic beasts is known by the people, many people will definitely choose to drag the entire human race down with them.”

“…No wonder there are exotic beasts. Humans are really ugly creatures.”

“Let’s not talk about this. Humans have their shortcomings, but we can’t deny that humans also have their advantages. If you attack humans like this, what’s the difference between you and those ‘narrow-minded people’?” The black-robed person in the lead spoke.

Everyone was stunned, then they lowered their heads in shame.

“So…” A cold light flashed in the black-robed leader’s eyes. “In order to continue our civilization, we still have to borrow strength from others.”

“Borrow strength from whom?”

“…”

After he finished speaking, everyone in the secret room looked at each other.

They had already guessed the answer.

“…An exotic beast,” Duan Ye said in a hoarse voice.

“Right!” The leader of the black-robed men looked at Duan Ye and extended a finger. “It’s an exotic beast.”

“But the Beast Tide is already gone. We don’t even know when the next wave will come or whether it will target Shanghai.”

“Since the Beast Tide is gone, we…” The black-robed man lowered his voice to the lowest level. “Why don’t we create our own Beast Tide?”

Instantly, Duan Ye’s hair stood on end, and goosebumps appeared all over his body.

The rest of the people didn’t look too good either.

“Listen to me.”

After pausing for a moment and waiting for everyone to calm down, the black-robed man in the lead said solemnly, “The Beast Tide is gone for the time being, but there are more and more exotic beasts in the wild. We just need to gather all these exotic beasts and guide them in the direction of Shanghai…”

“It will be an even bigger Beast Tide.” Another black-robed man clenched his fists.

“That’s right. An even bigger Beast Tide.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the rest of the people whispered and discussed for a long while before nodding their heads.

“There’s a theoretical possibility for it to be realized.”

“It can be done.”

“The key is to be quick.”

“Right, we can’t let Shanghai’s population increase…”

With his hands behind his back, the leader of the black-robed men circled the room twice before coming to a stop. He extended two fingers. “20 million. We can’t let the population of Shanghai exceed 20 million. Before the population of Shanghai increases to 20 million, we must completely destroy Shanghai. Without Shanghai, the humans will retreat into a pile of loose sand.”

“Then we can continue to destroy them one by one.” Duan Ye nodded. “We can also re-develop the forces of the Fair Association.”

“But…” The black-robed man at the side looked hesitant. “This kind of operation needs to be kept a secret the entire time. Once it is discovered, everything will be for naught. Moreover, the speed cannot be slow. If this drags on for too long, the population of Shanghai will surpass 20 million.”

“Therefore, it is very difficult.” The black-robed man in the lead was silent for a moment before sighing. “This is a huge gamble. But for the future of mankind, we can only take a gamble.”

Hearing this, everyone was silent.

“Oh right, there’s one more thing.” Another black-robed man said, “In the battle of Shanghai, we must find the mysterious warrior who caused two Level 9 beasts to fight among themselves. Either we pull him into the Fair Association, or… We kill him.”

“This is a genius.” Duan Ye hesitated for a moment, then said, “Let’s not talk about whether we can kill him or not. If he dies, the human civilization will suffer a great loss.”

“There’s nothing we can do about it.”

The black-robed man said in a muffled voice, “Even if he has the ability to protect the human race for a while, can he protect them for a lifetime?”

“…” Duan Ye didn’t say anything.

“Even if he protects them for a lifetime, can he live forever?”

“…” Duan Ye still didn’t say anything.

“One day, he will die. If he dies, everything will be over. Only by eliminating the exotic beasts will the method be permanent. If he used a method of resistance to deal with the exotic beasts, it will always be just resistance. Once he can’t resist, everything would be over. Of course… it would be best if he could be dragged into our Fair Association. Then, there would be a hundred percent chance of saving the humans.”

“Then… I’ll give it a try.” Duan Ye sighed.

Shua!

Hearing this, the leader of the black-robed men came to his senses. His brows twitched wildly, and his voice rose. “Duan Ye, do you know who that person is?!”

“Yes… I just have a guess.” Duan Ye hesitated. “Wait… Wait for me to collect more information, then I’ll be able to confirm it.”

“Okay.” The leader of the black-robed men looked at Duan Ye deeply. “Three days, is that enough? You can use all the resources in the Association at will.”

“Three days.” Duan Ye rubbed his temples. “That’s enough.”

“Okay. We’ll wait for your good news.”

“Understood…”

Leaving the underground secret room.

Duan Ye returned to his room in confusion. He locked the door and sat in front of the coffee table in the living room.

The table was filled with all kinds of information.

The pages of documents and lines of text all revolved around the ‘demonic Beast Tide’ incident.

Among them, at the top of the information, there was a blurry photo.

In the photo, it was the figure of the ‘mysterious person’ who was riding a missile.

The figure was indistinct and could not be seen clearly.

However, Duan Ye could still recognize that the person in the photo… was Chen Yu.

Chen Yu was his best friend.

Not to mention that he could only see his back clearly.

Even if Chen Yu was struck by lightning and burnt to ashes, Duan Ye could still recognize him!

However…

“How should I put it…”

He was afraid.

Afraid that he wouldn’t be able to rope Chen Yu in.

After all, he knew Chen Yu’s true strength.

Once the Fair Association discovered that Chen Yu couldn’t be absorbed, they would definitely use all their strength to strangle Chen Yu.

A mere Level 2 martial artist, even if his strength could reach Level 4 or 5, was still not a match for the Fair Association.

“If we put this matter aside, it won’t work either…”

His figure was curled up on the sofa. Duan Ye scratched his head with both hands, his emotions struggling as he collapsed.

Chen Yu had ‘interfered’ with the Beast Tide of Shanghai in a certain way, which was already a ‘great crime’.

It directly increased the possibility of humanity’s ‘destruction’.

If he were to do it again…

“No!”

Raising his head, Duan Ye’s eyes were bloodshot, and his teeth made ‘ka ka’ sounds.

Shanghai could no longer continue to develop.

When the population of ‘it’ exceeded 20 million, humanity would no longer have the ability to turn things around.

He stood up and extended his trembling hand.

Duan Ye picked up the photo and walked out of the room.

Yes.

He wanted to reveal Chen Yu’s identity to the ‘leader’.

Between ’emotion’ and ‘righteousness’, Duan Ye chose the latter.

“I hope you can join us.”

“Otherwise…”

“When the humans win, I’ll compensate you with another life…”
