Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 854: Chapter 854: Ask the Immortal of the Yellow Springs (4)

The jester-hat-wearing boy tugged at his earring, beside a youth dressed like a small-time delinquent.

”Jiang Sanzhan, have you noticed she’s gotten fiercer than before?”

The delinquent youth Jiang Sanzhan touched his arm, ”A bit.”

Su Yao hugged her little whip, a trace of fear in her eyes, ”What exactly is her ability?”

Standing next to Su Yao was a man with deathly pale skin, almost sickly, yet extremely handsome.

He curled his finger, assessing his nails, and said indistinctly, ”You’d be better off not probing into that matter.”

”I’m just curious,” Su Yao said.

”Curiosity is fine for anything, but not about Yellow Springs Road,” the man glanced at Su Yao, ”Don’t forget the lesson.”

Su Yao: ”...”

Su Yao thought back to when she first arrived and due to curiosity, sneaked into Yellow Springs Road and what followed.

That was certainly the greatest fear of her life.

”What about Mei Ji?” Su Yao changed the subject.

Jiang Sanzhan stepped aside.

Squatting behind him was a girl clad entirely in pink.

The jester-hat-wearing boy pulled the girl squatting on the ground up, ”What are you doing?”

The girl all in pink held a long-eared, pink rabbit.

Not everyone could pull off such a color.

But the girl in front did it very well.

It seemed as though the color was born to exist just for her.

It made one feel as if their girlish heart would burst.

The girl, not knowing what she was eating, glared resentfully at the jester-hat-wearing boy as he yanked her, stuffing her food into her mouth haphazardly, her cheeks bulging, her face almost swelling into a bun.

”...”

Now, in the room, aside from Chuzheng, there were six other people.

The mature lady Su Yao.

The jester-hat-wearing boy Xie Shi.

The delinquent youth Jiang Sanzhan.

The pink-clad girl Mei Ji.

The shop owner Uncle Liu Zhong.

The sickly handsome Ye Yueli.

Liu Zhong’s shop was right next to Chuzheng’s, hence his relationship with Chuzheng was the closest.

And these people were all brought in by Liu Zhong.

Chuzheng liked to keep things local; to describe these people briefly, they were the celebrities around the big boss, and of course, their abilities were not lacking either.

In their profession, what they relied on were the talents of their awakened abilities.

Being young didn’t mean they weren’t formidable.

-

”I’ll tell, I’ll tell...”

On the other side, someone dropped from the sky, landing headfirst on the ground, hitting it hard.

Chuzheng pulled a chair over to sit on, exuding a boss-like aura, and silently signaled him to speak.

”Somebody... somebody sent me,” the person spoke.

Chuzheng crossed her legs, resting her right hand on her knee, her gaze cold and condensing as she watched the person on the floor, ”Who?”

”I don’t know who he is,” the person shivered, ”I’m telling the truth, I haven’t seen his face, he had a very powerful aura, I didn’t dare to defy him.”

Chuzheng pondered for a few seconds, ”Purpose.”

”Just... just to have us report the situation of Wenxian Road to him.”

According to this person’s knowledge, they had been sent in one after another for about two months.

They were assigned to Wenxian Road to watch its movements every day, organize the information regularly, and place these things at the bottom of the trash bins on Wenxian Road. How the other party collected it, they had no idea.

Who was instructing them—unknown.

The purpose of the surveillance—unknown.

In short, it was a case of ignorance on three counts.

Nothing but cannon fodder.

Had one person not suddenly died, they probably wouldn’t have been discovered yet.

As for why that person died...

Chuzheng suspected it had to do with the one residing in his body, which was somewhat gluttonous.

In two months, they gnawed a Human to nothing.

Normally, when inhabiting a body, in order not to be detected, they basically wouldn’t tamper with anything inside the human body.

After the consciousness of the Human had vanished, they could inhabit the body for a long time.

Chuzheng gathered her scattered thoughts and asked him, ”How do you conceal the Spirit Value Fluctuation?”

The man shivering, took off a metal triangle pendant from his neck, ”He gave us this.”

Chuzheng raised her hand, and the pendant automatically flew into it.

As the pendant left the man, the Spiritual Value Fluctuation around him burst forth instantly.

”Is it this thing that suppressed his Spiritual Value Fluctuation?” Jiang Sanzhan asked in astonishment.

”What is this?”

”It doesn’t look anything special...”

Chuzheng’s fingertips brushed over the smooth surface of the pendant.

With a little force, specks of light slowly spilled out from the broken pendant, as Chuzheng didn’t hold back, the light slowly vanished into the air.

Everyone looked at each other bewildered.

Could that also be an unknown creature?

But...

Why didn’t they feel any Spirit Value Fluctuation at all?

”Girl, is that a Shadow?” Liu Zhong, who had a broader knowledge than the others, wasn’t quite certain.

Chuzheng coldly ”hmmmed” in agreement.

”What is a Shadow?” Su Yao asked out of curiosity.

Liu Zhong glanced at Chuzheng, who seemed lost in thought, and explained to the others, ”We usually use codenames for unknown creatures, rarely do we name them. Those with names are usually quite special, and Shadow is one of them. It doesn’t have any Spiritual Value Fluctuation, just like a shadow.”

”The code for Shadow is K·E6...”

”Exterminated?”

Liu Zhong glanced at Xie Shi, who had interjected.

Xie Shi adjusted his jester’s cap and shrank back a little.

The archives for unknown creatures are categorized according to danger levels ABCDF.

Additionally, there’s S for super-dangerous,

X for indeterminate,

and K for those with special abilities, but an E in front indicates they have been exterminated.

Liu Zhong continued, ”The number 6 means it was one of the first of its kind. It has been a long time since any sign of them has been seen, hence they’re marked as extinct.”

Liu Zhong stroked his beard, frowning, ”Shadow’s attack power is very weak, you could say it has no attack power. But I didn’t know it could also conceal the Spirit Value Fluctuation of other unknown creatures. Although not completely concealed, the fluctuation is so low that we couldn’t detect it...”

K·E6 was somewhat unfamiliar to them and they needed a moment to absorb the information.

Mei Ji, holding up the ears of the rabbit she was cuddling, inquired, ”Why would someone send them to monitor Wenxian Road?”

Chuzheng: ”...”

That’s a good question!

I want to know, too.

Which damn bastard has grown tired of living and has set his sights on Wenxian Road?

No one could answer Mei Ji’s question.

The significance of Wenxian Road was clear to everyone.

But monitoring it...

This was a first for them.

”Don’t you think these souls...” Chuzheng pondered, ”Are a bit plumper than the typical soul?”

The crowd looked towards the small porcelain bottle on the table.

Plump?

What kind of adjective is that?

But indeed the light seemed a bit brighter.

”Why is that?” Mei Ji raised the rabbit ear again to ask.

”Mei Ji.” Chuzheng called her.

Mei Ji obediently held her rabbit, looking all the attentive student.

”You’ve grown up, you need to learn to think for yourself.” Dammit, I also want to know why!

The crowd: ”...”

The ears of the rabbit in Mei Ji’s arms drooped down, ”Alright, but why is that?”

”...”
