Chapter 13 Cui Zhiyong's Observation Diary (Part 2) This is also... in you...
Chu Xiuyan opened his eyes again.
Six o'clock in the morning.
The comics were updated at 9pm last night. I went to bed after reading the update and browsing the forum. I woke up just in time to travel through time.
Perfect!
He got out of bed full of energy, opened the door, and greeted Zhang Chun who was sitting in the living room, "Good morning, uncle."
Zhang Chun, who had been sitting in the living room all night, slowly turned his head, looked at Chu Xiuyan, then looked down at his watch, and finally looked at the boy again, hesitantly asking: "Good morning, you only slept for three hours?"
Last night he watched the boy running from one in the morning to three in the morning. Even the black dog gave up and collapsed on the ground, and was dragged to crawl before staggering back to the room... His energy was too strong.
Chu Xiuyan recalled the chaotic time between the two worlds and said helplessly: "Actually, I used fast charging. It was fully charged in a flash."
"...I see that your mind is still not clear, go back to sleep."
Zhang Chun rubbed his hair and said, "By the way, I searched the back mountain for the thing you told me last night, but I couldn't find the person. You should not go to the mountain for the time being."
"Can't you even find the uncle?"
"Don't make me sound so great." Zhang Chun complained, "Do you still remember that I'm only a B-level?"
"Ah, it's the same setting as the uncle who looks like he's in his forties even though he's 28. Even though he looks only B-grade, he feels super reliable!"
Chu Xiuyan gave a thumbs up and praised.
Zhang Chun: "I really wish you could swallow the first half of your sentence."
Chu Xiuyan ran out of the house laughing and ran towards his aunt's house.
When Zhang Chun was about to lower his head for the final round of search, he suddenly heard the sound of something heavy falling outside. Turning his head, he saw Cui Zhiyong, with dark eyes, getting up from the ground and stumbling towards the black-haired boy.
Zhang Chun: "... No way, you still want to continue?"
Cui Zhiyong gritted his teeth and said, "I can't swallow that breath!"
Zhang Chun looked at the other person's determined back, shook his head, and continued to search for the mysterious man outside the village.
If you can’t find it in the back mountain, then look in front of the village entrance.
The Yellowstone settlement is backed by three large mountains. The west is the only exit, but it also leads to a large forest.
At this time, Zhang Chun was searching in a large area to the west. He had not slept for a night and his energy was not very good. He felt more and more headache. Suddenly, he found a white wolf in the woods a thousand meters away. It seemed to be observing something, but because the distance was too far, Zhang Chun could not judge whether it was coming to the village, so he had to be alert and did not launch an attack.
On the other side, Chu Xiuyan finished his breakfast and started to wander around the village. He couldn't go to the back mountain, so he seemed to have nothing to do. Here he helped a strange uncle chop wood, and there he helped an old lady feed chickens. Unknowingly, a day passed.
He squatted on the roof, looking at the setting sun in the distance, and said solemnly: [System, I don’t think this will work.]
System: [What?]
Chu Xiuyan pinched his chin and thought: [If every day is like this, comics will not be interesting at all, and I will go from being a cool and handsome guy to a rural boy who can only laugh! ]
System: [You usually only know how to laugh. 】
Chu Xiuyan simply ignored this and continued to fall into deep thought.
At night, Chu Xiuyan, pinching the corner of the quilt, began to think before going to bed. His brows furrowed more and more tightly, and finally he began to roll around on the bed.
System: [I'm about to get off work, don't give me any trouble. ]
Chu Xiuyan didn't listen, he just got dressed and got up, [Please help me see if the uncle is asleep? ]
System: [It's one in the morning. Do you think he's asleep? ]
Chu Xiuyan clenched his fists: [Go ahead, let’s go on a night tour of the back mountain! ]
At the same time, Cui Zhiyong, who was staggering back home, turned his head and found a very familiar black-haired boy rushing towards the back mountain, so fast that only a trail of afterimage was left.
he:"??"
No way, you're here again?!
The forest becomes increasingly quiet at night, the birds are silent, and in the dim night, the faint moonlight shines through the overlapping leaves and falls to the ground, casting a little glow in the air.
The wind blew the leaves rustling, and in the dead silence, violent angry roars suddenly rang out, waking up the sleeping birds. They flapped their wings and took off, dropping a few feathers.
Deep in the lush woods, a man was standing in a pit that was four or five meters deep, throwing the dirt at the bottom of the pit up shovel by shovel. There was a communicator sandwiched between his shoulder and cheek, which made a crackling sound.
"Are you sure this will work? ...Shit."
The man asked with gritted teeth. Perhaps because of his growing impatience, he used the wrong force when shoveling just now, and the mud was all over his body. Now he was frantically brushing the dust off his clothes.
"Really, that's how I picked up Number Three." The voice on the communicator replied, without any emotion and sounding particularly cold.
The man didn't care. After estimating the depth, he jumped back to the ground, casually brushed back his long hair that had fallen in front of him, and cursed irritably, "Fuck, damn Fan Yi, damn earth-type esper... Why would an esper from a small village be so strong? Isn't he only B-level? Fuck."
After digging the pit, he leveled it with grass, then placed a blood crystal the size of a fingernail a few meters away on the west side, and then continued to place blood crystals a distance back, all the way onto the trap.
The man patted the dirt off his hands, and the moonlight poured down, illuminating the red hair.
"The trap has been set. Now we just have to wait." He picked up the communicator and asked, "What have you been doing recently? I haven't heard from you for a long time."
"Catching birds." The voice in the communicator replied, "There are so many large alien strongholds in the northwest. They seem to be really trying to rebuild the city. Interesting. Oh, by the way, the boss asked me to tell you something. Don't go to the ruined city recently. That city may not be able to withstand this year's beast tide."
Red-haired man: "Why? I remember the leader of the ruined city was S-rank."
The voice in the communicator remained unchanged: "Half a step above S-level, it's almost turning into a walking blood crystal."
The red-haired man had an indescribable complex feeling: "...Tsk."
Suddenly, there was a faint sound of wind.
"Wait a minute, I have something to do here, I'll hang up first."
Just as he finished speaking, a deafening roar was heard from the woods in the distance, sounding like a bear.
Then it seemed as if the earth was shaking and a huge cloud of thick smoke rose up. Several tall trees that reached the sky made crackling sounds, suddenly broke and fell to the ground, raising a large cloud of dust.
The red-haired man jumped onto a tree several meters high, confused: "What are you doing? Why are you not sleeping at night and coming to the mountains to hunt bears?"
But forget it, he thought, it would be a good idea to take this opportunity to kidnap the person.
So he grabbed a handful of fine blood crystals from his arms, and the breeze swirled in his palm, picking up the blood crystals and flying towards the battlefield covered in smoke and dust, dropping a lot of blood crystals along the way.
At the same time, Cui Zhiyong, with dark circles under his eyes, yawned and stared dully at the black-haired boy who was fighting with a bear in the distance.
This time he learned from his last experience and did not stand on the tree. Instead, he squatted in the bushes and observed the fighting ability of the black-haired boy from a distance.
Very strong, it can directly confront the bear with its absolute strength alone. No, to be more precise, it almost suppresses the bear from a single direction.
Is this a strength that humans can possess?
The more Cui Zhiyong thought about it, the more intense the conflict in his heart became.
On the one hand, based on the follow-up observations during this period, the boy did not have any bad intentions. Although he was very bad and willful and often made trouble and did not listen to others, he had good intentions towards this village.
But on the other hand, the boy is too powerful and his origins are unknown, so he is likely to cause a lot of trouble. More importantly, Cui Zhiyong always has a concern in his heart, an ominous premonition of facing danger.
Normally, similar feelings only occur when facing highly contaminated mutated creatures.
The more he thought about it, the more confused he became, and his nails crunched as he bit them.
Chu Xiuyan sat on the bear's body, sensing the two gazes around him with some confusion.
My goodness, it’s so late, the uncle has gone to bed, but these two are still here to peep at him. What kind of habit is this? Damn it!
He ruffled his hair, [System, are you still there? ]
[The system is offline. Please leave a message. I will reply after work at 7 o'clock tomorrow. Thank you for your cooperation. ]
[…System?! If you’re just a portable electronic elf, don’t act like a gloomy office worker going to and from work!]
After complaining, Chu Xiuyan stood up, stretched, and prepared to drag the bear back to the village. Suddenly, a shiny object appeared in his field of vision. It was emitting red light and was particularly dazzling and beautiful in the night.
He walked over, lowered his head and felt around, and found a very small blood crystal.
"Wow!"
Chu Xiuyan picked it up with surprise, and when he looked up, he saw a small blood crystal about half a meter in front of him.
He walked over to pick it up, and then found another blood crystal not far away, so he continued to move forward, lowered his head to pick it up, continued to move forward, and picked up more...
The red-haired man standing on the tree clenched his fists, and became more and more nervous as he watched the black-haired boy getting closer and closer to the trap.
Cui Zhiyong, who was squatting in the bushes, asked a big question mark. No way, you can’t even see such an obvious trap?
Chu Xiuyan picked up blood crystals along the way and came to a stream. A few steps ahead was a pit trap covered by weeds.
At this time, the young man already had a handful of blood crystals in his hand. Counting them carefully, there were about a dozen of them. It felt that the concentration was not as good as the one found in the mine of the alien settlement, nor as good as the one the uncle gave him, but a little bit adds up to a lot, so he collected them for emergency use.
Who doesn't like picking up money?
Thinking of this, the black-haired boy hummed a cheerful tune and prepared to turn around and leave.
It's so funny. Did he really think he couldn't see the obvious trap right in front of him?
He's not stupid.
At this moment, a small silver fish jumped out of the rippling stream, shining an unusually bright light under the moonlight, and then jumped back into the water with a splash. The clear sound attracted Chu Xiuyan's attention.
"I suddenly want to eat fish."
The boy thought: "Let's take some fish back to the village."
As he spoke, the gray mist under his feet began to spread, and in the blink of an eye, a huge figure more than three meters tall formed behind him. A low cry was heard, and tiny gray particles floated in the air, and a faint dangerous aura spread.
As the night grew darker, the figure became more terrifying and eerie.
At least from Cui Zhiyong's point of view in the dark, it was an unknown monster that suddenly appeared and intended to attack the boy!
As if just as he thought, the huge gray monster raised its hand and stretched it out towards the black-haired boy who still had his back to him and seemed unaware. Choi Ji-yong was so scared that he crawled out of his hiding place and rushed over, shouting, "Are you an idiot? Run away--"
The black-haired boy turned around and saw Cui Zhiyong running towards him. His expression changed from happy to horrified. "Wait, don't come over..."
Cui Zhiyong was angry and touched, thinking that he might have really wronged the boy. In such a dangerous situation, he actually cared so much about his safety...safety...danger...
Suddenly, his feet felt empty. Cui Zhiyong looked up in confusion and met a pair of pitying eyes.
"ah--"
He fell into a pit that was five or six meters deep.
The black-haired boy who was caught by the gray fog and lifted into the air, then sat on the shoulder of the gray fog alien leader, slowly came to the side of the pit, looked down at Cui Zhiyong who was in a dilemma at the bottom of the pit, and sighed pretentiously: "I told you not to come over, but you didn't listen, tut tut tut."
Cui Zhiyong at the bottom of the pit struggled to stretch out his hand and said with difficulty: "Is this... within your expectations?"
Chu Xiuyan: “Puff——”
The red-haired man in the tree: "......"
He turned his head and bumped into the rough trunk of a tree.
"Shit." He cursed softly.
