Chapter 099 Alien Keywords

His approach was purposeful.

Yang Cheng didn't expect that happiness would be so short-lived. It only stayed with him for a short while before leaving without stopping.

He couldn't help laughing softly, and slowly, the laughter turned into tears.

He covered his face and slid to the ground against the wall. In the shadows, only Yang Cheng's waist-length white hair emitted a soft and light luster.

What's the point of it all?

He thought.

Wouldn't it be better if the world were destroyed?

After squatting for a while, Yang Cheng slowly stood up. He suddenly wanted to see Rong Le very strongly.

As soon as the thought came to his mind, his body started to move. He first returned to Rong Le's house. There was no one inside. Yang Cheng found his class schedule in Rong Le's study. As expected, he had classes today.

Yang Cheng walked towards East District University.

That action did not affect the East District too much, and the university remained quiet and peaceful.

It was class time and there were not many people on campus. Yang Cheng wore a hat to cover his face and lowered his head to find the classroom where Rong Le was taking classes.

In the spacious tiered classroom, Rong Le stood on the podium, bathed in everyone's gaze, and gave a lecture slowly and calmly.

He does not have the pride or lack of confidence that is expected at this age, and his talent is fully worthy of his achievements.

The young and handsome professor quickly captured the hearts of the students after just a few classes. Even without Gong Hua to suppress order, the classroom remained quiet and orderly.

"There is no final exam for this class. Instead, students are required to complete an assignment to personally explore or research something they are interested in in their lives."

"You can start preparing now until the last class, when I will check everyone's creative ideas."

A student raised his hand and said, "Teacher, the alien species we have here can definitely be used as a topic. Can we all do the same homework?"

“The subject matter can be similar, but the research content cannot be the same.”

Rong Le: "This student is right, but xenomorphs are very dangerous creatures. Everyone should not take risks. Even if it is for research, you must ensure your own personal safety."

Everyone started talking at once. Yang Cheng stood by the window and stared at Rong Le for a while. The young man on the podium seemed to sense something and looked over here.

Yang Cheng put on his sweatshirt hood, turned around and left with his head down.

He went to his favorite restaurant and ordered a table full of food. When everything was served, he looked at the steaming food and couldn't help swallowing.

Finally, he stuffed the food into his mouth and swallowed it hard.

As soon as the food entered his stomach, Yang Cheng felt uncomfortable. His stomach seemed to be protesting against the abuse. The feeling of nausea kept rising up his throat, as if he was eating a pile of plastic. In the end, he couldn't help but vomit it out.

After spitting out the food, Yang Cheng forced himself to continue eating.

Even if they don't feel any satisfaction, they still maintain the habit of chewing food, as if they are really eating like a normal human being.

Yang Cheng couldn't help vomiting and swallowing at the same time, gritting his teeth, tears oozing from the corners of his eyes, as if his self-abuse behavior was finally discovered by others.

The waiter came forward hesitantly and asked softly, "Customer, are you feeling unwell?"

Yang Cheng raised his head and tried to smile: "I'm fine."

The waiter couldn't help but take a step back.

Yang Cheng was stunned for a moment, then seemed to realize something and shifted his gaze to the window glass beside him.

The young man's long hair was disheveled, and the tears and traces of continuous vomiting on his face made his handsome face look disheveled.

He realized belatedly that his behavior would cause objections from others.

He looked up again and found that the customers around him were looking at him with an expression of surprise mixed with fear.

Yang Cheng finally realized that he had turned into a monster, and he was viewed with caution and fear by the people around him.

In the eyes of others around him, he is a complete alien.

...The things I have always held on to were broken just like that.

Yang Cheng stumbled out of the restaurant amidst everyone's strange gazes. It was not until he reached the busy street that he realized, stunned, that he didn't know where to go back.

Where exactly should he go?

The things he wanted to protect were ruthlessly destroyed, and he realized the cruel truth about how people around him viewed his identity, and even the person he liked was using him.

He lost everything.

Yang Cheng wandered the streets for a long time and finally returned to the Special Office.

Everything went smoothly after that. After the operation, he was promoted and had a new teammate, a chattering young man. The team leader asked him to lead the newcomers because the special office needed fresh blood. He knew that the team leader was taking care of him. This young man was somewhat similar to Jones.

As he wished, Yang Cheng became a respected but cold-blooded senior.

In the eyes of newcomers, he is probably the type who is strong and reliable, but can't take a joke.

Soon, many days passed. Since that day, he unilaterally cut off all contact with Rong Le and never looked for him again. Rong Le sent him several messages, but because he did not reply, they gradually fell into oblivion.

Refusing to meet Rong Le was a double pain for Yang Cheng, both physically and mentally. Aliens are often in a weak position in front of the objects that control their keywords.

Except for extremely perverted lunatics, no alien will ever refuse the opportunity to get close to its object.

Aliens that lose their partners will gradually become nervous and weak, and become irritable and angry due to lack of comfort, and their ending is often not a good one.

Yang Cheng didn't think about those things. After that battle, he closed off his emotions, and his life was just a cycle of going on missions, writing reports, working overtime, and resting.

Others called him an ascetic behind his back, the team leader talked to him again and again, and he was a frequent visitor to the psychological clinic.

Because of his sudden increase in strength, after repelling high-level alien species and suppressing riots several times, his status in the Special Office gradually rose.

His bloody and cruel methods also made him an emotionless killer that was feared by the alien species.

For a period of time, Yang Cheng appeared in everyone's eyes, covered in blood, as if he had just fought with an alien species.

He didn't know what he was fighting for, he just fought.

Yang Cheng thought, at least he had to complete his mission of protecting humanity.

His original wish for joining the Special Office and becoming a half-blood was to hope for regional peace, because his parents died because of this. This area is the only area in the world where a large number of advanced alien species gather. It is chaotic and orderly, cruel and sacred.

He fought tirelessly, as if his life was burning.

Even if this power is wrong, let's use this wrong power to protect this place.

…

"In the end, things turned out like this."

Rong Le folded her hands and sighed.

Baiyue: "I've said it before, if you keep lying like this, it will backfire sooner or later."

Rong Le tilted her head and looked at him in distress: "But I didn't lie to him. I hugged him when he wanted to, and I let him touch me when he wanted to. For an alien, this is already a very pampering behavior, right?"

The veins on Baiyue's forehead jumped very clearly, and he patiently put down the teacup in his hand: "I think, for him, what he wants is a more honest Professor Rong Le."

He was obviously referring to Rong Le.

Rong Le: "Well... I really can't do it."

He sat with his legs crossed on a high-back chair in the Baiyue office, which was located in an A-class building in the commercial center of the alien region. The top floor was the office of the group leader, and the entire floor was open.

The view was wide, the cold floor tiles were so clean that they reflected light, and two people were sitting opposite each other drinking tea.

Next to it is a whole floor-to-ceiling window. Through the clean window glass, you can see the densely packed buildings below.

Looking out from a super high-rise position, one feels a sense of power as the controller, and almost no one would not be shocked by such a scene.

This entire floor, including the entire building, belongs to Baiyue's personal assets.

Baiyue has many assets like this all over the world. Its giant business empire is spread across almost every corner of the module, controlling the region's economy and lifeline.

But these things are just family business in Baiyue's mouth, and the things behind them may be even more unfathomable.

This is evident when you consider that the Baiyue family holds a permanent seat on the board of directors of the University of Michigan and has funded many of the University of Michigan's field investigation missions.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Rong Le. So far, this group has not been involved in any activities related to pagans.

In many modules, he is just a background character, and Baiyue is on his side, so there is no need for him to delve into it.

Even if Yang Cheng didn't appear in front of him, Rong Le knew everything about his movements during this period, whether it was causing trouble or getting promoted, including his changes in mentality.

He thought that Yang Cheng would come to find him after this incident, but he didn't expect that he would wait for a long time but no one showed up.

Later, an investigation revealed that Wang Qi and others met in an alley not far from his home and were caught by Yang Cheng by chance.

Rong Le sighed after losing the chance to play mermaid, and waited quietly and obediently for a few days. During this period, no matter how many messages she sent, no one paid attention to her.

It was like a scumbag who was dumped by the other party after he came to his senses.

So love will disappear, right?

Rong Le was extremely resentful, and even Wang Qi and the others knew they were in trouble and wisely stayed away from him.

However, as luck would have it, Baiyue finally arrived here, accepted the family business, and after taking control of the real power here, he invited Rong Le to meet.

This time the module is very complex, involving multiple forces, and almost all the well-known organizations in the world have gathered together.

The alien areas seem to have also sensed the undercurrent and have been uneasy recently.

"The Mother Goddess Church has been keeping an eye on the Archives ever since the incident in the Mechanical City. This time, we've penetrated deep into their base camp. They'll react sooner or later."

Baiyue: "If we want to disrupt the situation right under their noses, we must turn this area from an away game into our home game before they discover our intentions."

Rong Le wants to weaken the power of the Mother Goddess Church and expand the collection hall. Michigan University and the Mother Goddess Church are old rivals who have disliked each other for many years, and the hatred is deep-rooted.

As for the Baiyue, they wanted to take a piece of this big cake for the sake of family interests and become the only dominant force in this important area.

Each of them has their own plans, and since there is no conflict, they can cooperate in a friendly manner. Rong Le has done a lot of things through the relationship of Baiyue and the power of Michigan University, and has already established connections, laying the foundation for this cooperation.

So this time, not only do you have to clear the module, but there will also be confrontations between factions.

Through the network of relationships among the three families, Rong Le has already found out the distribution of power of the Mother Goddess Church in this area. The document that she gave to Xu Yuanhe last time was also the newly collected intelligence in this regard.

"Behind the Mother Goddess's family is the Mother Goddess Church. The Celestial Kingdom Sect seems to be a non-belief party among the alien species, a mysticism."

"The most interesting thing is the Alien Special Office. They are secretly colluding with the aliens, but they have become a trusted protector of the people, managing the city's security."

Rong Le: "However, this is only the superficial information. In fact, it is difficult for us to find out more about the involvement between the different species."

However, although there are undercurrents in all parties and each has its own purpose, everyone has a common goal.

"Screening out the king of the alien species is the common goal of the leaders of the alien organization."

We want to select the king of the alien species, no matter what method or means are used, that person will become the king of everyone, unify the entire alien area, and end the chaotic and disordered regional order.

With everyone paving the way, step onto the throne forged in blood and pain.

"It seems our great professor has already made a judgment about this lucky guy. Getting close to him and becoming the one and only person in his mind was all planned by you."

"You make me sound like a scumbag, Baiyue."

Rong Le protested his words and then said, "I just saved a poor injured mermaid. Who knew I would find out that he had so much potential later on?"

"Even if I don't take action, fate will push him into an even crueler abyss. Even if this feeling is false, it's still better than having nothing. Who knows, what awaits him in the future is an even more tragic future?"

The words Rong Le spewed out were very villainous.

Baiyue: "Before you say this, can you explain why you saved his friend?"

"...Life is already so miserable, you have to give us some candy, right?"

Rong Le nodded and smiled.

Bai Yue chuckled: "So, you hugged him to comfort him, controlled his keywords, went to great lengths to save him without asking for anything in return, and were willing to be hated by him, just to comfort him?"

God knows how Baiyue felt when he found out that there was a mermaid beside Rong Le and that they had a connection with the key words.

Rong Le: "When you say that, it makes me feel weird."

It made him seem like he was not saying what he meant.

He sneered, "It seems that you don't need my help. Professor Rong Le can handle it all by himself."

Rong Le approached him and said sincerely, "How could that be? You are very important and an indispensable part of the plan. Without your help, many things would be difficult for me to accomplish."

Baiyue looked at him helplessly: "I've long been accustomed to your personality. No matter what you do, I won't be angry with you."

So there is no need to say these words to appease or please him.

Cunning, hypocritical, full of calculations and lies, kindness and sincerity were just masks he used to disguise himself. The black-haired, green-eyed young man controlled everything from the moment they met.

Baiyue had never suffered any loss in his interactions with others until he met Rong Le, when he was completely defeated.

Just like now, as soon as he showed too much emotion, the young man's expression would immediately stiffen, and then his eyes would wander, and he would try to retreat back to his safe distance.

So he wandered outside the door, never daring to go in, for fear of disturbing that fragile and sensitive heart.

He sighed, still unable to bear to embarrass Rong Le, and gently changed the subject: "So, what are you going to do next?"

Rong Le looked at him carefully, and when she found that Bai Yue was not angry, she smiled again.

"You, you, you are really being eaten alive by your wife!"

"I'm so disappointed that my son can't be made into a good person. I can't keep him anymore (wipes tears)"

"Bai Yue is like that gentle wife who caught her husband cheating on her and forgave him. No, it's you who should intervene if your husband cheats!"

"Just spoil him."

The comments were full of complaints, saying that it was really unbearable to watch.

"Since they want to identify the king of alien species, we must of course lend them a helping hand."

Rong Le smiled and said, "However, the birth of this alien king should meet our expectations."

"You mean, to turn the Alien King into one of ours?"

"As long as we prevent them from achieving their goal and it doesn't harm us, it's a victory."

"To them, the Alien King is just a useful puppet, born to fulfill their desires. But who cares about his feelings?"

Baiyue: "It's not easy to reverse the fate of the Alien King."

This is indeed the biggest hurdle in the mod.

Although Rong Le has already determined that Yang Cheng is the key to this module, he doesn't know what will happen in the future.

Although he was aware of the conspiracy, he was unable to intervene and protected Yang Cheng under his wings.

Reversing the direction of the world line too early will bring unpredictable consequences, and Yang Cheng will still experience the arrangements brought to him by fate.

What Rong Le can do is to extend her influence as far as possible into this area and plant her own anchor in Yang Cheng's heart.

Rong Le: "There's no other way. Even if it's not easy, I have to do it. I won't let you down."

"Of course I believe in you. As long as you want to do something, you will definitely do it."

Baiyue said in a declarative tone.

Rong Le coughed unnaturally, with a subtle expression.

He was ultimately influenced by Baiyue. After all, among all the modules he had experienced, even though he had met all kinds of people, Baiyue was special enough.

As an adult, she has a calm and noble temperament. Although her personality is strong and irresistible, she does not feel oppressive in front of him. It is like warm water that allows him to gradually adapt to his presence.

Only the occasional aggressive look made his heart beat faster.

Rong Le could still remember him looking down at him in his dream, with his paranoid, slightly controlling hands, and the forced confinement, as if he was locked by some powerful creature.

...I always feel like I'll release some wild beast if I'm not careful.

Rong Le chose to trust her intuition.

However, he knew that Baiyue couldn't do anything to him, so he couldn't help but push the issue further: "I have to go to school and investigate at the same time. It's very tiring."

Baiyue: "...So?"

Rong Le pretended to be casual: "So, if I can drink hot fish soup, maybe I will be more motivated."

He still remembered that Baiyue would make soup for him when he was in Poland.

Bai Yue said calmly, "Although I haven't done it before...but if it can help you improve your efficiency, it won't be a losing deal."

Rong Le opened his mouth hesitantly.

Bai Yue knew what he was thinking at a glance and stopped him from saying anything: "No matter what it is, you have to drink it."

Rong Le shrugged and said tactfully that she had no objection and would drink it all.

"Anyway, you can come to me anytime. I wish you success, Rong Le."

Before leaving, Baiyue said.

"Of course, it will definitely succeed."

Rong Le waved her hand and left gracefully.

…

The peaceful days did not last long. Soon, during an ordinary patrol, Yang Cheng suddenly felt a gaze from behind him that was obviously provocative.

He turned his head calmly and looked towards the alley, where a figure quickly disappeared.

It was obvious that he was being stalked. I don’t know which blind alien was doing this. During this period of time, Yang Cheng had seen many aliens attracted by his fame and wanting to hunt him.

Usually these guys would be severely beaten by him, and only one or two out of ten would escape from his hands.

I didn't expect that there would be such blind aliens who dared to come.

He pulled out the retractable stick from his waist and walked slowly towards the alley. He did not conceal the sound of his footsteps, openly telling the alien that he had attracted his attention.

By the time Yang Cheng reached the middle of the alley, the winding road had blocked the entrance. No one could see what was happening here, and even the sound was difficult to hear.

"It's time to come out, aliens."

Yang Cheng said lightly.

"I haven't seen you for so many days. The stench of the Special Office has become even stronger on you, Captain Yang Cheng."

A figure appeared in front of him in the dark. Gong Hua walked out surrounded by many alien species. Among the aliens wearing all kinds of strange masks, only his face was clean.

"I was wondering who it was, but it turned out to be my defeated opponent who had already escaped from my hands. Why is he back again?"

Yang Cheng whispered, "Are you here to die?"

"Even if you're bragging, you should consider the situation carefully, right? Surrounded by so many of us, do you have the confidence to kill us all?"

Gong Hua laughed disdainfully.

"You'll know if you can or can't just try it."

Yang Cheng tightened the long stick in his hand.

Gong Hua got angry when she saw his sour face and cursed, "You look like a discarded, drowned dog. It's true that mixed-bloods are inferior and can never learn the noble manners of other species."

"Why, the guy who ran away with his tail between his legs after I discovered his identity last time finally got enough of his lesson and was released by your parents?"

Yang Cheng challenged in a calm voice, "It's not easy to go to university. You're clearly in the safest, least likely-to-be-discovered location, yet you choose to hunt near the school."

"Now that your face is wanted by the Special Office, you can no longer appear in public openly and honestly. You can only return to your dark lair. Your heart must be filled with regret, right?"

"...you bastard."

Gong Hua's face became ferocious, and the pupils on his handsome face shrank slightly, as if it was a sign of a beast hunting.

"I will tear you into pieces and eat you up!"

Yang Cheng put on a deadpan poker face: "If you can really do it, even revenge will require you to call for help, young master."

Gong Hua was furious. He hadn't shown up for such a long time, and he must have learned a lesson from his family.

The Special Office has already found out his identity. As a direct descendant of the Mother Goddess's family, Gong Hua inherited the excellent qualifications of his parents. He has been loved since childhood and his identity information has always been well protected.

This time, his identity was discovered while hunting, and his family kept him at home for a long time to keep him out of the spotlight.

So as soon as he came out, he went to pick a fight with Yang Cheng.

"I don't know what's happening with that professor you defended so much."

Gong Hua remembered something and smiled softly.

"Will he be scared if I appear in front of him?"

"When she discovers that the polite student is actually an alien, will there be a look of fear on that beautiful face? Especially those eyes, they must taste amazing if you lick them."

Gong Hua said as if enjoying it.

His men had already rushed forward and started fighting with Yang Cheng. As soon as they met, they showed their true colors and the fight was very fierce.

Gong Hua just leisurely watched Yang Cheng dodge the attacks while provoking him with words.

When Yang Cheng heard him say this, he couldn't help but hold his breath and his movements became messy.

Gong Hua laughed triumphantly: "So this is what you truly care about, Yang Cheng. Even if I can't kill you, I have countless ways to destroy the things you care about most!"

"How long can you protect him? If you're careless for even a second, I'll make him realize it..."

He said word by word:

“—The most horrible hell!”
