Chapter 362 Dating
The plot jumps to the point where He Yu and his group have finished discussing some top-secret matters.
The plot always needs to jump around.
Jump, jump, jump.
—To be honest, for the second wave layer, the influence of this place on the present world only began to become more and more intense after those forbidden things came into contact with human society, and now it is even more abyss.
It represents all the reckless destruction hidden behind the glitz and glamour. Even though it is absurd to the extreme, something still shines through this long disaster, and there is no sign of it stopping.
He Yu could understand the impact of the natural disaster on the second fluctuation layer, but he couldn't understand how those people who were used and killed by Eoubs in the present world could live so comfortably here after several cosmic years, and even want to become some kind of hero—albeit on the opposite side.
659 just laughed after hearing this and said that it was because the people behind them liked them messing around like this, especially Joseph. This guy was a big shot who could directly represent both sides' forces. After all, few people could resist the temptation of those special features since ancient times.
“There’s no way around it. Whether it’s the present world or this place, both are essentially worlds where desire reigns supreme.” He added, “Do you think your human society will become better after Roy replaced those high-ranking officials? It’s just that there are fewer gluttons who indulge in pleasure. Those who need to be sacrificed will still be sacrificed. The only change is that those in high positions will have more labels of selflessness.”
"Here, businesses will do everything they can to study consumer desires—whether it's a story of hardship or extreme destructiveness—we'll just amplify those emotions, embellish them, and then set a price you can't refuse, that's it. Everything that the second wave of fluctuations comes from you is a cruel place. If I had to point out an advantage... well, here you can always get anything you want, but at a much higher price."
As he spoke, he gazed at the enormous, magnificent temple, surrounded by buildings of all kinds, billboards, and countless celebratory slogans.
659 shrugged and said calmly, "This is not only the choice of forbidden objects, but also of humans."
The customized sports car drove out of the block and continued forward, passing smoothly all the way.
He Yu looked out the window. 659 hadn't told him to close the baffle—even the source of all things had to listen to this bastard—and asked, "Where are we going?"
"Cinema."
What are you going there for?
"Of course it's a date."
For a fleeting moment, He Yu's expression turned somewhat pained.
"Don't worry, there won't be any traffic jams on the road," 659 explained. The light and shadow shone on his face, and the man still had a light expression, but his pupils were slightly dilated, like the effect of a normal person taking too much medication.
Amidst the frenzied revelry, all he could see was a cold and oppressive gray.
"Come on, for monsters like us... this place may be terrifying, but it's my home." He continued, "I used some connections to make sure all the idiots on the floor didn't block the way. This is an unprecedented large-scale clearing."
He Yu didn't bother to delve into the meaning of his words, but he soon discovered that the roads on both sides of their road were packed with people—whether it was intentional or not, the main road was built very wide—countless taboo beings draped in human skin were all looking in the direction the car was coming from, waving and shouting at the "distinguished guests"—they couldn't even see who was actually sitting inside.
Then he saw further into the distance, at the entire city bathed in endless light and shadow—more luxurious and extravagant than the last time he had been there—its buildings were exquisitely intricate, and countless walls, doors, windows, and billboards reflected the light.
He Yu felt a sense of absurdity. This hellish city was truly like a marketing tactic in the human world—constantly in a state of blind high fever, ready to ignite at any moment.
He stared at 659 for a long time without saying anything more.
As the car gradually slowed down, the scene outside the sports car made He Yu feel extremely uncomfortable—he could see countless faces of his own, and a group of people dressed like company assistants were talking to Joseph at the intersection. Joseph still had a face without any emotion, as if he were dealing with a group of children throwing out stupid questions.
They are too fanatical and hypocritical.
It's as if by blindly following others, one can obtain the ultimate answer to this world.
He Yu realized that 659 had really gone all out this time, and at least the trick of sneaking away into the crowd was unlikely to work.
He immediately thought of another way.
"No." 659 suddenly leaned closer, looking very innocent. "Dear host, it would be very difficult for me if you did that kind of thing."
He Yu smiled brightly and said that he would definitely not make him sad.
The man beside him naturally didn't believe his nonsense. He feigned a very serious expression and said meaningfully, "At least wait until after you've watched the movie before you consider it. Anyway, we can kill whoever we want, but you can kill them without my permission. Although you've now integrated a lot of my core, and even surpassed the will of the universe in some aspects, but..."
"You have to listen to me."
"This is a rule we set from the beginning."
He Yu was taken aback. He couldn't remember when he and 659 had made such an unwritten rule. It was probably too much of a domineering agreement.
The vehicle came to a complete stop.
Before He Yu could make a move, a smiling doorman bent down and opened the door, asking with a fawning expression, "Mr. He, do you have any luggage that you would like me to help you carry?"
He sighed, wanting to say something, but then kept quiet.
"Get me two pairs of stockings, one black and one white, two bottles of red wine made by 03 himself, plus three fucking delicious whole beef meals."
The doorman gave him an "I understand" look, made an OK sign, and then went to prepare the things that 659 had just mentioned.
He Yu glared at the other man with a bitter and resentful look. He wanted to say something, but after seeing the man's expression, he could only sigh and say, "You really have a terrible sense of humor, you haven't changed at all."
"You forgot, I can change my gender."
"So you only change your sex but your face doesn't, right?"
"How could that be? If you want, I can even transform into Yu Yu or Pandora, and create hundreds of clones to satisfy you to the point of speechlessness."
He Yu felt a headache coming on. He thought to himself, "What on earth did you learn from the other universes?"
He grabbed 659 and walked into the movie theater without looking back, overhearing Joseph behind them saying to the other taboo figures, "You guys want to go in too? Don't dream about it. Didn't you see those two idiots on a date? We have something important to do later..."
"Explain to me what 'watch your words' means. I can curse at them anytime I want, it's none of your business—"
