Chapter 856: Chapter 856: Ask the Immortal of the Yellow Springs (6)

Chuzheng just bowed her head for three seconds before lifting it again.

Calmly and composedly, she said, ”I’ve caught the culprit.”

Hu Shuo was surprised, ”Where?”

Chuzheng, with her hand hanging down, lifted it as if she was holding something, but Hu Shuo didn’t see anything in her hand.

Hu Shuo hesitated, ”Miss Chuzheng... do you have something in your hand?”

How come he couldn’t see anything at all.

Chuzheng: ”Forgot, you can’t see it.”

To ordinary people, the true form of unknown creatures was invisible, as transparent as air.

Chuzheng did something, and soon Hu Shuo could see something revealing itself in her hand.

It was a clump... of something completely black.

Like a blob of thick ink.

”This... Is this the unknown creature?” Hu Shuo stared at the inky substance, ”Is this the one causing trouble?”

Chuzheng nodded, ”It should be.”

Hu Shuo turned off the alarm system and checked the machine room again, finding no issues.

Back in the room above, Hu Shuo couldn’t help but ask, ”Miss Chuzheng, how did you get down there?”

How was the door opened?

Those metal doors, the entire estate, and even now the entire conglomerate, only he knew the password.

The password for each door was different.

And the passwords were subject to change.

Without hesitation, Chuzheng replied, ”It was like this when I came down.”

”...”

Hu Shuo looked at the unknown inky creature that Chuzheng had stuffed into a glass bottle.

Could it have been this thing that opened the doors?

Hu Shuo was somewhat suspicious of Chuzheng.

However, Chuzheng sat there with an earnest and serious expression, not at all guilty-looking, which made it difficult for one to suspect her.

The glass bottle was placed on a metal stand in the room.

Hu Shuo shifted his focus to it, ”It won’t escape, right?”

”It’s specially made,” Chuzheng explained calmly, sitting on the other side of the metal stand.

”...”

Hu Shuo dared not get too close.

After all, this was his first time encountering such a thing.

Though, it was very possible that he had been dealing with it for a long time.

But Hu Shuo had to hypnotize himself into thinking this was the first encounter, as he knew nothing before.

”Why does it do these things... can you find out?”

”I only helped you catch it,” Chuzheng emphasized her duty coldly.

The subtext was that asking questions was none of her business.

She was a person of principles.

She wouldn’t concern herself with anything outside her responsibilities.

Hu Shuo: ”...”

Having no other choice, Hu Shuo had to call Su Tiyue over.

In the middle of the night, Su Tiyue hurried over, slightly out of breath, his gentle and scholarly face moist with the night’s mist.

”Miss Chuzheng, Mr. Hu.”

Chuzheng just nodded her head in greeting.

”Professor Su, sorry to trouble you,” Hu Shuo said politely and apologetically, ”for disturbing you at this late hour.”

”It’s okay,” Professor Su didn’t show any annoyance.

”Pretentious,” Chuzheng commented darkly from the side.

Su Tiyue: ”...”

Hu Shuo: ”...”

Hu Shuo had heard this term more than once before.

The relationship between Professor Su and Miss Chuzheng... It seemed to be genuinely bad.

But Professor Su was a nice person, though.

Why did Miss Chuzheng have to dislike him so much?

Su Tiyue touched his lips with his fist and gave a light cough, ”You caught it?”

Hu Shuo immediately pointed to the glass bottle on the metal platform.

Su Tiyue went to take a look, ”Miss Chuzheng, this bottle...”

Why did it look somewhat familiar?

It seems like the batch that was lost last time...

Chuzheng: ”...”

Chuzheng turned her head away, refusing to look at Su Tiyue.

”...”

Su Tiyue got the hint and did not continue speaking.

He observed the contents of the bottle and instinctively pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, ”This looks a bit like ink mist.”

The Unknown Creature Management Office had the habit of naming them.

The name didn’t matter much; whatever it resembled, that’s what it was called.

The unknown creature in the bottle indeed resembled a dense cloud of ink mist.

”It’s not very aggressive, but due to its characteristics, it’s quite suitable for hiding.” Su Tiyue took out his portable Spirit Value Detector, ”Strange, its Spirit Value Fluctuation is off...”

The detected Spiritual Value Fluctuation did not exceed 10.

But the ink mist was indeed a Level 5 Unknown Creature, with a normal Spirit Value Fluctuation between 100 and 200.

The higher the Spirit Value Fluctuation, the higher the level and strength naturally.

”Professor Su, can we find out why it’s doing this?”

Hu Shuo was quite anxious to know about this.

Mr. Hu was lying in the gaming pod, unable to wake up.

And now there was trouble outside as well.

Hu Shuo was anxious!

Very anxious indeed!

Su Tiyue put away the detector, ”I’ll try to see if I can get some answers.”

Chuzheng, uninterested, moved outside for some fresh air and let Su Tiyue do as he pleased.

Half an hour later.

Chuzheng returned to find Su Tiyue and Hu Shuo sitting with grim expressions.

The unknown creature in the bottle occasionally moved, reminiscent of an octopus trapped inside a bottle.

She didn’t know what Su Tiyue had done to it.

Chuzheng noticed a hint of grievance and resentment.

Chuzheng was somewhat curious, but she didn’t ask anything, calmly taking her seat and pouring herself a cup of water.

The three of them fell into an eerie silence.

Hu Shuo suddenly received a phone call and left the room with a grim face, his steps hurried.

”He trusts you a lot,” Chuzheng remarked as she watched Hu Shuo’s retreating figure.

Hu Shuo just left like that.

Without even saying a word.

Previously when she told him to leave, Hu Shuo was extremely reluctant, looking back every three steps, pausing every five, as if she would eat up his Mr. Hu if he turned away.

Su Tiyue chuckled, ”Xing Jue and I are friends.”

”You have friends?”

Chuzheng’s tone was even, giving nothing away.

But Su Tiyue knew that was definitely not a compliment.

Su Tiyue’s eyes shifted slightly behind his glasses, ”Miss Chuzheng, you seem to have some misconceptions about me.”

Su Tiyue had interacted with her a few times.

For some reason, she seemed to have some aversion towards him.

”Not at all.” Chuzheng replied indifferently, ”I don’t know anything about you, so where would any misunderstanding come from?”

Su Tiyue took a deep breath, ”Then let’s talk about this instead.”

Without waiting for Chuzheng’s rejection, Su Tiyue continued, ”Why would a Level 5 Unknown Creature have a Spirit Value Fluctuation that doesn’t exceed 10?”

Chuzheng took a sip of water, nonchalantly replying, ”Special abilities, what’s so strange about that?”

”Miss Chuzheng, the ink mist... perhaps it’s not called that where you come from. But we both know that its Spirit Value Fluctuation should be between 100 and 200, it definitely shouldn’t be less than 10.”

”So what?”

Su Tiyue’s gaze was piercing, ”Do you know something?”

Chuzheng’s gaze remained calm as she looked at him, ”Even if I did, do you think I would tell you?”

We are not familiar with each other after all.

Su Tiyue: ”...”

Chuzheng put down her glass, the water inside trembled slightly.

She reached out and picked up the glass bottle, ”The creature has been captured, my task is completed, have Hu Shuo come over and release the contract when he’s free.”

”Miss Chuzheng, I’m afraid that won’t do just yet,” Su Tiyue countered.

Chuzheng’s steps paused slightly.

She turned her head to look at Su Tiyue.

With a gentle smile, Su Tiyue spoke with a hint of warmth, ”It’s merely a minion; we haven’t caught the mastermind behind it yet, so I’m afraid we’ll still need Miss Chuzheng’s help for a while longer.”
