Chapter 1502 - 814: Chaotic Black Water City, Time Bomb, Zhong Yu!
Chapter 1502: Chapter 814: Chaotic Black Water City, Time Bomb, Zhong Yu!
But what choice does Zhong Yu have now?
The surveillance on the West Continent is strict; if someone not in the facial recognition database appears on the streets, they’ll be immediately spotted.
So, Yan Liuyuan swaggered into the center of Black Water City with him, and as soon as they arrived, they were discovered.
Now, Yan Liuyuan dusted off his hands and walked away. How is Zhong Yu supposed to leave? He can only fight his way out!
He observed the surroundings, and a massive scarlet hand materialized beneath his feet.
Zhong Yu stood on the back of the scarlet hand, and the fingers of the scarlet hand crawled quickly on the ground like spider legs.
This scarlet hand seemed like his mount, its scarlet fingers grappling onto the walls of buildings, climbing effortlessly, leaping between buildings without a hitch.
It was as if it had a soul of its own!
In the night sky, the scarlet hand continuously tore apart its foes. This pursuit battle went from the city center to the west of the city, with explosions constantly lighting up the sky, unsettling the vast Black Water City.
Yan Liuyuan must have ulterior motives for placing Zhong Yu here. With Zhong Yu’s character, he couldn’t be recruited by anyone nor could he compromise. He’s like a powerful bomb, exploding wherever he’s thrown.
Everyone would be blown to pieces.
This time, Black Water City was utterly disgusted. Suddenly having a mad demigod thrown into the city center left them completely unprepared.
In the Black Water Air Fortress, the Duke of Blackwater had been awakened from his sleep. Wearing a bishop’s robe, he walked to the holographic sand table, coldly observing the battlefield below.
But he didn’t take action directly; he suspected that someone was setting a trap for him.
...
...
Zhong Yu glanced at his arm; the countdown that should have been there was gone!
He was stunned for a moment, wondering how the countdown could disappear.
It’s well known that for many people, even if they’ve modified their limbs with machinery, the countdown would still appear directly on the mechanical limbs. How could it vanish?
Could it be that after being stripped by Li Shentan, he’s completely become a person of the Inner World?!
He roughly calculated the time, fearing only a few minutes were left until he returned.
Taking advantage of the gap as the pursuers fell behind, Zhong Yu finally found a blind spot in the surveillance and landed directly in a small alley.
At this moment, a homeless man was lying on a cardboard box in the alley. Zhong Yu landed on him, transforming into a liquid state, completely enveloping the man.
The silver liquid nanorobots wriggled constantly, and the homeless man inside let out a sharp scream that couldn’t be heard outside.
In just a little over ten seconds, the liquid nanorobots had permeated the homeless man’s body. When he opened his eyes again, the homeless man’s consciousness had been wiped, leaving only Zhong Yu’s consciousness.
He slowly closed his eyes and went back to sleep, letting the hovering airships and drones pass by overhead.
A drone flew into the box and began scanning the homeless man continuously.
The drone issued a warning: "Stand up, hands on head, face the drone for facial recognition!"
With the homeless man’s body, Zhong Yu stood up and said in bewildered English, "It wasn’t me, it wasn’t me!"
The drone ignored his words and coldly commanded, "Blink."
Zhong Yu complied and blinked.
The drone then ordered, "Nod."
Zhong Yu complied and nodded.
Three seconds later, the drone flew away, leaving the bewildered ’homeless man’ standing there.
"Hee hee."
...
...
Return.
Zard opened his eyes in his dorm room on Whale Island and immediately turned to observe Huan Yu.
Da Yu asked coldly, "What are you looking at? What’s going on between you and that Lian Xin?"
"Wait," Zard exclaimed, "don’t you think something’s strange?"
"Strange about what?"
"Zhong Yu hasn’t returned!" Zard said, "I was worried he might come back here too, but it turns out he can’t come back at all!"
At this point, Da Yu also realized... compared to Qing Chen, Zhong Yu was actually his biggest concern. That dormant personality was too evil; even he didn’t know what to do.
Now that Zhong Yu had been stripped away, even his qualification as a Time Traveler was gone.
Da Yu let out a long sigh: "As long as we can strip him away, he can go wherever he wants. It’s none of our business. By the way, where’s the letter Xiao Yu wrote me?"
Zard pulled it out of his stomach and handed it over.
Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Luo Wanya’s voice came from outside: "Gentlemen, the boss just called and hopes you two can stay on Whale Island. Also, next time you head to the Inner World, meet up in City No. 5. Start at the wilderness settlement, and someone will meet you with a Door of Shadow."
Da Yu grumpily opened the door and asked, "That’s your boss, not mine!"
Luo Wanya chuckled heartily: "Same, same."
"Same what," Da Yu wanted to lose his temper, but couldn’t in the face of Luo Wanya’s friendliness: "Did he say what’s going on in City No. 5?"
"No, he only instructed us to send a Golden Eye of Truth to a certain place in the Outer World. He didn’t say anything else... By the way, he said he found something very fun and invited everyone to join in!" Luo Wanya said.
Da Yu and Zard exchanged glances, fun? What fun?
When Luo Wanya mentioned the Golden Eye of Truth, Da Yu guessed that Qing Chen wanted to open the door between the East and West Continents. The other party seemed to have temporarily gained a foothold and could call in reinforcements! It’s just uncertain when he’ll do it!
Da Yu pouted, "Trying to pull us in as muscle again, huh?"
Luo Wanya shook his head: "I don’t know."
Da Yu asked, "When does he plan to take us to the West Continent?"
Luo Wanya shook his head again: "I don’t know."
"You know nothing," Da Yu said impatiently, "You go back first; we need to think about it."
Luo Wanya tentatively asked: "Think about what?"
Zard said on the side: "We need to think about how we can follow Qing Chen’s orders to gather, but at the same time, appear very unwilling, so he’ll owe us a favor."
Da Yu widened his eyes at Zard: "Are you crazy?!"
How could you expose my true thoughts like that!
After sending Luo Wanya off, Da Yu didn’t speak to Zard. He sulkily sat by the bed and opened Xiao Yu’s letter.
This was his favorite warm moment:
"Brother, Zard and I met the sisters and aunties of the Lian clan, and some golden grandpas. The Lian clan sisters are very handy; they helped me fold many Yu Yan."
"Zard said he wanted to take me to the Lian clan’s village for fun. I actually miss Brother Qing Chen and Sister Yangyang a bit. But Zard said if I go to the Lian clan’s village with him, he would build me a large bamboo house there, and you must see the bamboo house he builds for me."
Da Yu remained expressionless; you should see the trouble your Brother Zard has caused me.
Going to the Agricultural College was Zard’s mischief, and going to the Lian clan was also his doing. This Zard takes every opportunity while I’m asleep to pull his tricks!
Originally, Da Yu wanted to write back, blaming Xiao Yu for being too easily duped by Zard. But thinking about how Xiao Yu was constantly being mentally devoured by Zhong Yu, he felt a pang of heartache and couldn’t bring himself to say anything accusatory.
