Chapter 43 After stripping him naked in the video and entering the room...
Shortly after he entered the room in the video, another person entered the room as well. The figure looked shorter than him. He zoomed in on the image, but it was blurry and he couldn't make out who it was.
Judging from his build, the other person was a man around 1.7 meters tall and rather thin.
The video was edited out; the 15 minutes that were cut showed no one entering the room.
But fifteen minutes later, another man entered the room.
This man is tall, over 1.8 meters, and is a regular gym-goer with a muscular physique.
Zhou Fengyun frowned. What did this mean?
The video was cut to show a period when no one went in, and then a man entered the room.
Zhou Fengyun asked the person on the other end of the phone, "How many people entered this room in total?"
"It's not fully repaired, so we can't be sure. As far as we know, there are five in total. There's still a long video clip, so there might be more. Didn't you see anyone when you woke up that day?" the other person asked.
"No, I wasn't in the room when I woke up, and I can't remember anything."
"Okay, that's all we know for now. Can you recognize any of those figures?"
Zhou Fengyun paused for a moment and said, "No, it's so blurry, I'm not even sure if it's me."
"There's nothing I can do, the red mist is too thick. I'll continue repairing the other fragments and see if I can piece together a clear image of a person for you."
"Okay, thanks for your hard work." Zhou Fengyun hung up the phone. Actually, that memory wasn't something that absolutely had to be retrieved.
He just felt a little attached to the person he seemed to have slept with. It wasn't that he liked her, but rather that he felt indebted to her. Even though what happened that day was an accident, and everyone was affected by the ghostly aura, no one could say for sure what exactly happened or if it was just a dream.
However, if his actions harm others, he is willing to take responsibility and pay compensation if the other party holds him accountable.
But thankfully, the other person was a man, not a woman.
What if the girl is pregnant...
Suddenly, a thread in Zhou Fengyun's mind clicked.
He turned to look at the person happily eating on the sofa.
What if the man she sleeps with also gets pregnant?
Zhou Fengyun walked over, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Yu Qing saw it at a glance.
He asked, puzzled, "What?"
Zhou Fengyun paused, then shook his head: "It's nothing."
At this moment, Luo Jianjie delivered the documents, and when he saw Yu Qingzai, he nodded as a greeting.
The document was handed to Zhou Fengyun.
"Both cases involving Sun Ze and Shu Yuhe have been successfully closed and filed."
Yu Qing asked, "How many years were they sentenced to?"
Luo Jianjie said with great interest, "That Sun Ze is also a superhuman. He hadn't awakened before, but this time he woke up from a vegetative state and the superhuman he awakened was illusion magic. He really turned misfortune into blessing. His situation is special. In the end, after a meeting, it was decided that he would serve his next twenty years in a superhuman prison."
"What's the difference between a superpowered prison and a regular prison?" Yu Qing asked.
"The superpower prison is full of superpowered criminals. Every day, in addition to ideological education, instructors will lead them in training and leveling up. They wear electronic shackles, and their every move and word is monitored. If superpowered support is needed, they will be the advance team," Luo Jianjie explained.
"Oh... to put it simply, it's about keeping our lives to protect the country and its people," Yu Qing concluded.
“That’s right, that’s how it is. Sun Ze turned himself in, so he has a chance to get a reduced sentence if he behaves well. Shu Yuhe was conspired with ghosts to commit intentional homicide and was sentenced to seven years. Zheng Zhihao was sentenced to four years and two months for several crimes.”
Zhou Fengyun flipped through the file and then put it on the desktop.
Just then, the secret realm schedule came out. He opened the document, glanced at it, and said, "Our branch has scheduled the secret realm training for the 7th next month. A-Ding, are you available next month? We need to leave for the assembly on the 5th, go in on the 7th, and come out on the 13th."
"Okay." Yu Qing gave an OK sign.
The graduation projects have been submitted, and the senior year courses have ended. In the remaining months, some students have found internships and started their internships.
Yu Qing wanted Gu Tuo to have a chance to participate as well.
Cultivating in a secret realm is a rare opportunity.
He asked, "Are just the few of us going? Are the others going?"
"Everyone will go. In addition to our elite team, the first and second squads of superhumans will also go, as will superhumans from other branches. They will enter in batches, with about three hundred people each time. However, there will always be some uninvited guests who may cause trouble. Therefore, in the arrangement, each time we enter the secret realm, there will be both high-level superhumans and newcomers."
"Oh, so do we need to mentor new people?"
"No need, the new recruits have instructors to guide them."
Yu Qing nodded.
I don't know how to steer the conversation toward Gu Tuo.
Let's put this on hold for now.
Back at the apartment that evening, Yu Qing asked Gu Tuo if his parents would allow him to join the Bureau of Supernatural Abilities.
Gu Tuo said, "My parents thought about it all night and decided to respect my wishes."
"So what do you think?"
"I think it would be great to join the Superpower Bureau. The salary is high and the benefits are good. I probably won't be any particularly powerful expert. I'll probably just be killing monsters with the team, so the risk level won't be too high. It's people like Captain Zhou who often go it alone who are in danger."
"Then quickly tell Captain Zhou, I saw posts online about the ST001 Secret Realm next month. Many superhumans are planning to try their luck and go in to cultivate. If Captain Zhou can take you there, you'll hit the jackpot!" Yu Qing urged.
“Really? Then I’ll talk to him.” Gu Tuo immediately took out his phone and typed a text message to Zhou Fengyun.
Yu Qing was still worried about how to explain that he was going to play for ten days without taking him. Now that's good. If Gu Tuo could go with the group, he could leave after Gu Tuo left, and Gu Tuo would not know that he had disappeared for ten days.
Perfect.
Not long after Gu Tuo sent the message, Zhou Fengyun made a video call.
Yu Qing grabbed the little monster and stuffed it into his pocket.
They were worried that he might accidentally expose it.
"Gu Tuo, welcome to the Superpower Bureau. Come to complete your onboarding process first thing tomorrow morning. Since you are still a student, we won't assign you any work yet. We'll wait until you graduate. However, the 7th of next month is the Secret Realm Training Day. If you can get leave, you can train with us. ST001 is a Secret Realm that has already been taken over, so the danger level is very low."
"Okay, I can do it."
"Okay, that's all for now. See you tomorrow."
"Okay, see you tomorrow."
After hanging up the phone, Gu Tuo excitedly hugged Yu Qing: "I'm so excited! I'm going to have a job soon!"
Congratulations!
＊
After hanging up the video call, Zhou Fengyun recalled something unusual about the scene he had just seen.
There were a lot of snacks and a pile of clothes on the sofa behind Gu Tuo. The clothes were all piled together, and it was impossible to tell what style they were. But the patterns and colors didn't look like they were for adults.
It's made of white cotton with a pattern the size of a fingernail printed on it.
Cartoon illustrations, the really cute kind.
Perhaps it's because these young men like to dress in a cute style at home?
＊
The next day, Gu Tuo came to the Bureau of Supernatural Abilities to complete his onboarding procedures.
Upon receiving his work permit, Gu Tuo couldn't wait to post it on his WeChat Moments.
The students were incredibly envious.
Yu Qing commented on Gu Tuo's WeChat Moments: Congratulations! We're having a big meal tonight!
Gu Tuo replied to Yu Qing: I'm going to the supermarket to buy things now, we're having hot pot tonight!
Yu Qing replied to Gu Tuo: Oh yeah!
Zhou Fengyun has both of them as WeChat friends, so he can see their comments and chats.
Zhou Fengyun wanted to give it a thumbs up, but after thinking about it, he didn't.
＊
Yu Qing and Gu Tuo had hot pot at home that evening.
Gu Tuo bought a lot of meat, and the two meat lovers and the little monster who eats everything happily enjoyed the delicious food.
I took a picture of Gu Tuo and posted it on my WeChat Moments.
Yu Qing wasn't interested in posting on WeChat Moments, but when he saw Gu Tuo post it, he followed suit.
The two pictures are similar, just from different angles.
While eating steak, avocado, grilled shrimp, and a bowl of vegetable salad at home alone, Zhou Fengyun saw their posts on WeChat Moments one after the other and suddenly had a whim to send a message to A Ding: "Want to come over to my house to play games?"
I waited for half an hour.
Adin replied, "I'm not going, I'm having a big meal."
Zhou Fengyun replied, "I'm eating hot pot."
A-Ding: "Me too."
Zhou Fengyun: "Send me a picture?"
A-Ding: "Sent a picture."
Zhou Fengyun's heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason.
Click on the picture to take a look.
It's a trash can.
A-Ding: "I'm done eating."
Zhou Fengyun scrolled through their WeChat Moments, and none of the pictures showed a trash can.
Am I overthinking things again?
＊
The next few days were relatively peaceful in Anshi, so Yu Qing and Gu Tuo went shopping together.
The city where ST001 is located is not Anshi. If you want to travel far, you need some equipment, such as a large-capacity backpack, some disposable underwear, and small bottles of daily necessities.
"Huh?" Gu Tuo suddenly thought of something. "Can we take a bath in the secret realm? I've read in those posts that secret realms are places where ghosts and monsters roam. Will there be water? What about food? Oh my god, how much stuff do I need to bring?"
"Ask Captain Zhou," Yu Qing said.
Then Gu Tuo sent a message asking, and Zhou Fengyun said that he didn't need to prepare the supplies himself, as there would be supply trucks transporting food and drinks to him every day.
There's a lake in the secret realm where you can bathe, but it's very crowded, with hundreds of people bathing in it. It's uncertain how many days the lake water will stay clean.
Yu Qing had a sudden inspiration: "Buy some wet wipes."
"Great idea!"
The two pushed a shopping cart and shopped around the supermarket.
Before we knew it, the day to set off had arrived.
Gu Tuo reluctantly slung his backpack over his shoulder and left the house.
Yu Qing waved his hand: "Keep up the good work, you'll be a big shot someday!"
Gu Tuo clenched his fist: "I will try my best to level up!"
After Gu Tuo left, Yu Qing also packed some things. He had space and didn't need to carry a lot of things, but in order to avoid being noticed, he still carried a backpack filled with snacks.
The little monster ran over and asked, "Where are you going?"
"I'll secretly follow Gu Tuo. You stay at home. I've prepared enough snacks for you. Take good care of the house for the next few days and don't leave, understand?" Yu Qing deceived the little monster again.
The little monster didn't quite believe it: "Why do it secretly? You couldn't get into the Bureau of Supernatural Abilities, so you can't get into that secret realm."
“Many people went there, just waiting for the entrance to be less guarded so they could go in and kill some monsters. I’ll wait outside for him to come out and give him a surprise. You shouldn’t go. That’s a place where people with superpowers gather. Going there is like sending yourself to your death.”
The little monster's desire to go was immediately shattered. If he didn't want to go, he didn't want to go. He had food at home, so it didn't matter!
＊
The secret realm is located in Longxiang County. When it was first opened, the surrounding area was all farmland.
After being placed under official control, the surrounding area became a tourist attraction.
A month before the secret realm was about to open, many people had already come here.
Resorts, guesthouses, inns, and food streets have also been built within the secret realm.
When Yu Qing arrived at the destination with the rest of the group, he saw a tourist attraction, similar to an ancient town.
We departed on the 5th and arrived on the 6th. It's 5:30 pm on the 6th now, and the secret realm hasn't opened yet. There are already staff from the Secret Realm Management Bureau driving away those who set up stalls.
The secret realm will open promptly at 6:00 AM tomorrow, so they need to get up and assemble at 5:00 AM.
Looking at the vendors around them, Yu Qing asked, "Can we go over there to buy some food later?"
"Sure, but it's best not to. If the food isn't clean, it'll be a waste over the next few days. Just bear with it and eat it when you get back."
"Okay, so what are we going to do in a bit?" Yu Qing had a lot of questions. To be honest, he was a little curious because this plot wasn't written in the original work.
The original story revolves around her romantic relationships with nine men.
What's happening now has nothing to do with the original story.
Zhou Fengyun patiently explained, "We were the first to enter the secret realm, and we are responsible for cleaning up the surrounding environment. Every time this happens, many outsiders try to take advantage of the chaos to enter the secret realm. Look at those." Zhou Fengyun raised his chin.
Yu Qing looked over and saw several tall men standing around a barbecue stall not far away.
They were all burly and strong, dressed in black clothes, hats, masks, and sunglasses, covering themselves up completely. But from their exposed skin, you could tell they weren't Asian.
A man had a small tuft of golden-brown hair peeking out from under his hat.
Based on his skin color, you can roughly determine which country he is from.
Zhou Fengyun continued, "Every year at this time, in addition to many non-official organizations in our country wanting to go in and plunder resources, there are also many from abroad. Once you enter the secret realm, you have to be careful of everyone. This time, there are many branch bureau superhumans going in with us. With so many people, it's easy for some weirdos to sneak in."
Yu Qing gave an OK sign.
He glanced back at the Anshi superhumans lined up in a square formation not far away.
He saw the ancient rubbings.
Gu Tuo stood in the crowd and looked to be the youngest one.
"Will those newcomers be protected?"
"Yes, they won't go deep inside. They'll just practice casting spells on monsters at the entrance to the secret realm. They're all newbies and not familiar with their abilities yet. Once they've gotten the hang of it in a couple of days, they'll be taken to areas with more monsters. What? Do you know anyone here? If so, I can talk to the instructor and ask him to take good care of them."
Zhou Fengyun's calculating gaze was practically radiating from Yu Qing's face.
Yu Qing said nonchalantly, "No."
Afterwards, someone came over and gave each of them a green camouflage vest with the words "Special Ability Bureau" printed on the back and "An City" printed on the front.
In other cities, the superpower bureaus display the name of their respective cities on their chests.
Yu Qing put on his vest and zipped it up.
"Can I stream from inside?"
"No signal," Zhou Fengyun said.
"Then how do we contact each other?"
"Communicators will be distributed to everyone before you go in."
Yu Qing is fine now.
After setting up their tents at the designated location, they began their patrol.
Drive everyone still within the secret realm out.
This secret realm is quite large, with fields and groves in the middle.
Yu Qing was patrolling on his flying vehicle when he discovered that someone had dug a hole and was hiding in the ground.
Yu Qing threw a fireball at the ground where they were hiding.
They were so hot that they crawled out like groundhogs.
The few superhumans who crawled out immediately cursed, "You bitch!"
As soon as they finished speaking, several golden swords flew over and pointed at their faces.
Those people could only retreat, and the golden sword remained pointed at them until they left the warning line of the secret realm.
Yu Qing gave Zhou Fengyun a thumbs up: "Great sword!"
Zhou Fengyun said, half-jokingly and half-seriously, "How about you mentor me, big shot?"
"No problem, no problem." Yu Qingfei went over and landed next to him, taking a small step to the side himself. "Captain Zhou, please."
Zhou Fengyun gave a smug look for a second before stepping onto the aircraft.
Yu Qing took him on patrol.
After circling around, they drove away many people. Some hid in the ground, some hid in the trees, and some covered themselves in camouflage and lay in the grass.
Two or three hundred superhumans patrolled back and forth two or three times before it got dark.
Everyone returned to their tents to rest, and the drones began patrolling the area around the secret realm to prevent anyone from sneaking in again.
Yu Qing had just crawled into his tent and lay down when Zhou Fengyun squatted down outside and asked him, "Are you hungry?"
"What food do you have?" Yu Qing immediately got up, unzipped his pants, and looked at him.
"Bring some self-heating hot pot and cooked food to my place."
"good."
Yu Qing immediately left his tent and followed Zhou Fengyun into his tent.
The tents were provided by the authorities, and everyone's tent was the same size.
The tent, which was originally only big enough for one person, felt very crowded when two people were sitting in it.
Zhou Fengyun took the contents out of his backpack.
Two self-heating hot pots, two self-heating rice dishes, and several packages of cooked food, all vacuum-packed.
One serving for each of the two people.
Zhou Fengyun opened the package of cooked food and placed it on top of the self-heating rice, so that the cooked food could be heated up when the rice was heated.
Yu Qing followed suit.
The two secretly cooked for each other inside the tent.
The zipper was open, and the aroma wafted out, making passersby drool. But when they saw that it was Zhou Fengyun, no one dared to ask for a bite.
This was Yu Qing's first time eating self-heating hot pot and rice, and he found it very novel.
It tastes a bit salty, and you have to drink a lot of water after eating it, which makes you need to pee more.
Yu Qing climbed out of the tent.
Zhou Fengyun's gaze fell on his buttocks.
Her little bottom is quite round.
Where to?
"pee."
"I'll go too."
Men's friendships can sometimes be very pure.
Just like now, in the grove, there are men everywhere who come to urinate in groups.
Yu Qing and Zhou Fengyun walked to a secluded place.
The two stood a meter apart, back to back, fertilizing the grass.
Zhou Fengyun asked, "Is this outfit a onesie?"
"Yes."
"Does it have a zippered crotch?"
"have."
"Why don't I see a zipper?" Zhou Fengyun had carefully examined his bodysuit and didn't see any opening in the crotch area.
“My material has a bonding function, so you can’t see it.” Yu Qing turned around sharply. “You were peeking at my crotch?”
"I'm watching openly and honestly." Zhou Fengyun finished and zipped up his pants.
Then I heard someone behind me say, "Swing it around."
Zhou Fengyun was amused and joked, "Hold it above your head and swing it around a few times."
Yu Qing: "It's not that long, so I can only wrap it around my waist as a belt."
Zhou Fengyun: "Ha!"
The two exchanged suggestive jokes as they returned to the tent together.
"Go to bed early, we need to get up at five o'clock tomorrow to assemble."
"Okay." Yu Qing crawled back into his tent, zipped it up, lay down, took out his phone, and saw the photos and messages sent by Gu Tuo.
He excitedly shared everything about this place with him.
Yu Qingyi echoed them one by one.
They chatted for a while, then said goodnight to each other.
＊
Around four o'clock the next day, there was some noise outside. Yu Qinglai didn't get up until the whistle blew.
As soon as he stepped out of the tent, he ran into Zhou Fengyun.
"Good morning, Captain Zhou."
"morning."
Chu Yihou and his group came out of the tent next door.
After exchanging good morning greetings, everyone went to wash up together.
There are convenient handwashing stations nearby.
Everyone lined up to wash up, but Yu Qing didn't squeeze in with them. He took out a bottle of mineral water from his bag, which he actually took from his spatial storage.
After washing up away from the others, he went to get his breakfast.
The official breakfast provided to each person consisted of two boiled eggs, two extra-large meat buns, and a bottle of milk.
At 5:40, everyone gathered, lined up, and began taking attendance.
Distribute the communicators.
When communicators come into contact with each other, they can add each other's communication signals.
Yu Qing added contact numbers to everyone in the elite team so that they could communicate with each other.
Zhou Fengyun stood at the front and said to everyone: "Once we enter the secret realm, the newcomers will follow the instructors to cultivate at the entrance. Newcomers should not wander around and should stay close to the team. Keep your crystals safe to avoid being robbed by others. Other ability users can form their own teams to cultivate, but please leave the areas near the entrance with few monsters for the newcomers to cultivate. My contact number is 1101. You can ask me if you encounter any problems. Time's up, everyone prepare to enter the secret realm."
At 6:00 sharp, the secret realm opened.
A man in military uniform was holding something in his hand. Yu Qing glanced at it and realized that it should be the key to the array in this secret realm.
Once the array's core recognizes its owner, the owner can turn it on and off at will.
Suddenly, a lot of ghostly energy surged out from the center of the secret realm.
Like giant waves rolling, in the blink of an eye, an area with a diameter of two kilometers was covered by ghostly energy.
Atop a pointed pavilion stands amidst the ghostly aura.
Many doors appeared around the ghostly aura.
The man in military uniform raised his hand and waved.
It pointed to the entrance to the secret realm.
Zhou Fengyun took the lead and walked into one of the doors.
Yu Qing followed behind.
Everyone else rushed into the door without stopping.
Yu Qing felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, as if he had entered another space.
My body feels a bit heavy, probably because of the high pressure here.
Yu Qing: Ali, is the signal good here?
Ali: Very good.
Yu Qing: If I stay here for seven days, I should be able to download it.
Ali: Yes! I'm so excited!
Yu Qing: Congratulations on your imminent full recovery.
Ali: Yay!
The light in the secret realm is dim, but you can still see the path. There aren't many ghosts or monsters around when you first enter.
There were many black, ghostly spirits flying around, scaring people whenever they saw them.
These kinds of ghosts aren't very dangerous.
I just wanted to scare you.
Yu Qing's side was quiet and peaceful, so no one was frightened.
But the newcomers who came in afterward shouted louder and louder than the last.
Yu Qing turned around and saw Gu Tuo carrying him, looking pitiful as he walked beside the tall man.
Zhou Fengyun said, "There are some powerful ones in the central area. Let's go directly there. There's a chance that colored crystals will drop there."
Chu Yihou, with a whirlwind already forming beneath his feet, cheerfully said, "I'm off first, family!"
Then they disappeared in a flash.
Hua Qingshu immediately chased after him: "Take me with you."
Hua Qingshu transformed into tiny flowers and flew away with the tornado.
Guo Yilong immediately started running: "Wait for me!"
Luo Jianjie used to be with Zhou Fengyun, but now...
He ran away with Guo Yilong.
He doesn't want to be a third wheel!
Yu Qing, being quite sensible, landed next to Zhou Fengyun and said, "Come on, I'll show you how to be cool and take you to new heights."
Zhou Fengyun smirked and stepped onto the aircraft: "I guess I didn't spoil you for nothing."
Yu Qing smiled and led Zhou Fengyun deeper into the area.
On the ground they flew over at high speed.
A patch of soil was lifted to the side.
The earth-elemental ability user was the first to emerge from the deep underground cave, followed by the other ability users.
They were carrying weapons and all wearing masks.
"We have orders from above: if we encounter that big shot with the flying machine, we need to find a way to steal his equipment."
"Strip him naked!"
"Go! Go! Go!"
