Chapter 38
The recording started in the morning and continued until the afternoon. The official Weibo account of the "Idols' Counterattack" production team released an announcement stating that during the recording of the performance, the ceiling of the studio collapsed unexpectedly. Before the accident occurred, the production team stopped the recording in time, evacuated the personnel, and decided to re-record on another day.
This announcement caused an uproar on the Internet. While A-Shi Media's public relations department was busy, the people from the Monster Bureau were also working hard in the building to deal with everyone's injuries and memories.
All those who have undergone Level B memory processing will only remember that they were evacuated because the studio ceiling collapsed.
Although the evacuation was timely, the production crew had to confirm that no one was injured, so they were kept until the afternoon before they were allowed to leave.
When they left, they touched the back of their heads and felt as if something was wrong, but they couldn't put their finger on it.
Yan Yue went back and took a look at the scene. There were not many people left.
The person in charge of the memory processing of this major accident was the current youngest wizard team leader of their Monster Bureau, Yan Ningan, who was 25 years old at the time.
Yan Yue asked him, "There shouldn't be any problems with the rest, right?"
Yan Ning'an had been working non-stop for several hours, still full of energy and vitality. "No problem, Mr. Yan, you can go back to the bureau. I'll take care of this!"
Yan Yue rubbed his eyes and said, "Okay."
He turned around and went to find Mu Wei and Bifang and Fu Huanyu who had not left yet.
Before Su Xuan and Gu Shuo left, they asked Bifang if he wanted to go with them. Bifang embarrassedly refused and planned to leave with Fu Huanyu and his assistant.
But Fu Huanyu's assistant, perhaps because his memory had been processed and his mind was in a fuss, completely forgot that he was responsible for sending Fu Huanyu, a grown man, back home. He actually drove away by himself and only woke up suddenly after driving five kilometers away. He called Fu Huanyu and cried to apologize.
Fu Huanyu didn't mind and told his assistant to go home directly. He could handle it himself.
In that case, Yan Yue simply took both of them along.
The car belonged to the Monster Bureau, and it was just the right size for four people. Mu Wei sat in the passenger seat, and Bifang and Fu Huanyu were in the back seat.
On the way, Bifang asked, "So, this accident is indeed related to City B?"
"Yes," Yan Yue said as he drove, "Those two beasts escaped from a gourmet case. The people who were responsible for recovering the corpses of Qiongqi and Lich were from City B."
Speaking of this, Yan Yue frowned.
When he was recovering the body, the head of the Monster Bureau in City B came to ask him why there was one horn missing from Qiongqi's forehead.
Theoretically, since any part of a monster's body has spiritual power or other special functions, when they are in charge of cases related to this bureau, they must count all parts of the monster's body.
However, not only was the scene so chaotic at the time, Su Xuan, Wen Yu and the others did not need to follow the rules of the Monster Bureau, so they naturally did whatever they could to kill the two ferocious beasts accurately and ruthlessly.
Under the impact of spiritual energy, some parts of the body were probably turned directly into ashes.
Qiongqi was only missing a horn, but the leech's corpse was horrible, having turned into a pile of rotten meat.
Fu Huanyu suddenly interrupted and asked, "What exactly does 'gourmet' mean?"
Fu Huanyu did not accept the memory processing - he was with Bifang, and the world of monsters was directly opened to him. There was no point in processing his memory. That was why he could talk about this topic directly and openly.
But on this topic, Bifang and Yan Yue remained silent for a while.
Fu Huanyu noticed that the atmosphere was not right. He turned his eyes to look at Bifang beside him and asked in a low voice: "Is it inconvenient to say?"
"Not really," Bifang paused and explained, "It's just that you might feel a little uncomfortable after hearing it."
Fu Huanyu was stunned.
Mu Wei, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was more direct: "Gourmets refer to a group of people who hunt monsters everywhere!"
"Most of them are humans, and a few are monsters," Mu Wei rambled on. "They have a lot of rules. For example, every monster they eat must be killed alive. So after they catch a monster, they usually choose to lock it up and keep it in a pen. When they are ready to eat it, they pull it out and kill it."
"For example, they have to eat a whole monster every time, but one person definitely can't finish it, so they often hold 'parties' and gather a large group of people to eat together until the monster is finished. They call this 'party' something," Mu Wei said, paused, turned around and asked Yan Yue, "What's it called?"
Yan Yue sighed and said, "'Spiritual Power Dinner'."
"Yes, it's called the 'Spiritual Power Dinner'! It is said that they will send out invitations before opening the Spiritual Power Dinner, making it seem like it is very high-class." Mu Wei sneered.
Hearing this, Bifang felt something and subconsciously looked at the man next to him.
The man listened quietly.
The light and shadow outside the window changed, and the shadow fell on his eyes, making his gaze seem dim and unclear.
Bifang instinctively reached out and placed his hand on the back of Fu Huanyu's hand, probing, "Huanyu?"
Fu Huanyu moved and glanced at him.
Then she reached out silently, put her arm around his shoulders, and held him in her arms.
Bifang blushed immediately.
Mu Wei and Yan Yue didn't notice the actions of the two people in the back row.
Mu Wei was still asking Yan Yue: "I heard that this case in City B is related to us?"
"Yes, there should be a group of gourmets in City A who are connected to City B. The bureau is already stepping up its investigation." Yan Yue said solemnly.
"Tsk," Mu Wei turned his head to look out the window and said softly, "What a bunch of rats."
The light turned red and the car stopped.
Yan Yue silently reached out and rubbed Mu Wei's head.
In the eyes of some people, lovers are the perfect delicacy. Who can tolerate such a thing? Yan Yue also wishes they could find the gourmets hidden in City A as soon as possible.
In the back row, Fu Huanyu rested his chin on Bifang's head, rubbing it gently.
Bifang whispered, "Huan Yu?"
He could feel that after hearing about the gourmet, the man's atmosphere had undergone a very subtle change.
Sure enough, I feel a little uncomfortable.
Bifang raised his head, looked at Fu Huanyu, and said soothingly: "It's okay, don't worry, I will protect myself."
Fu Huanyu was silent for a moment, then said, "Yeah."
He lowered his head, kissed Bifang's lips, and murmured, "...I will protect you too."
Bifang was stunned.
After saying this, Fu Huanyu's gaze fell on the void, and some dark colors that Bifang could not understand reappeared in the depths of his eyes.
…
Fu Huanyu lived in a villa area, and Yan Yue sent him outside the community.
Before Fu Huanyu got out of the car, he asked gently, "Will you contact me tomorrow?"
Bifang nodded and said with concern: "Go to bed early today, don't think too much, and call me if you have any problems."
Fu Huanyu looked at him steadily and said with a smile, "Okay."
After getting off the car, Fu Huanyu carried his suit jacket and walked into the villa area.
The man's back was handsome and tall, and Bifang couldn't take her eyes off him every time she saw him.
And until this moment, after he had the thought that this man belonged to him, this figure created different ripples in Bifang's heart.
However, as their distance grew closer, other issues also surfaced.
In the front row, Mu Wei teased, "Why don't you get off the car with me and spend some time alone together?"
Bifang looked at Fu Huanyu's back and thought that there was an inexplicable gap between him and Huanyu.
He didn't know what was in that ravine.
Probably some things that Huan Yu couldn't let him know.

Fu Huanyu entered the villa area and walked slowly along the edge of the path.
It was almost evening, and the clouds in the sky gradually turned a fiery red.
There was a faint fragrance in the dry air, which was the scent emitted by the flowers on the roadside.
Fu Huanyu looked at the road under his feet, step by step, uphill, turn right, walk for a while, and turn right again.
He didn't meet anyone on the way, and he walked quietly to a three-story villa.
He walked up the steps and stood at the door. After a few seconds, he took out the key from his pocket, turned it, and opened it.
In the large living room, the exquisitely designed furniture stands silently in the sunset light.
The solid wood floor was clean and shiny, and the coffee table and dining table were spotless with nothing on them, as if no one lived there normally. However, a briefcase was tilted on the sofa, indicating that at least at this moment, not one person was home without a home.
On the wall opposite the entrance, there is a row of niches on the right, and a photo frame is placed in the middle of one of the niches.
The photo shows a family of three. The woman is in the middle, holding a man in her left hand and a little kid with just his head showing in her right hand. The background is the seaside in summer, and the three of them are smiling as brightly as the sun.
There was about a minute of silence.
Suddenly, a voice came from deep in the corridor beside the alcove.
"...I know. Teacher Liu and I will be ready. Don't be late. The time is seven o'clock—"
A middle-aged man walked out while talking on the phone. When he saw Fu Huanyu standing at the door, he was startled, stopped walking, and stopped talking.
The man was very handsome, except for a few wrinkles on his face and a few strands of white hair at his temples, which fully revealed his age.
The man, who looked twenty years older than in the photo, seemed a little surprised when he saw Fu Huanyu. Then he smiled unnaturally and said, "Huanyu...why are you back at this time?"
