Chapter 857: Chapter 857: Ask the Immortal of the Yellow Springs (7)

The one they caught knew that it had to figure out a way to obtain the password to the metal door, or at least get the door open.

Logically, stealing a glance at the password should have been easy.

However, the passwords Hu Shuo entered were always lengthy and included a mix of letters and numbers... mainly, they were long enough that it couldn’t remember them.

And there wasn’t just one door.

This posed quite a problem for it.

Last time, it had finally made Hu Shuo open the door.

Only to encounter Chuzheng, and the plan failed.

What it intended to do in the server room was beyond its understanding.

Moreover, it had another task, if possible, to kill the president of Fanxing — Xing Jue.

That’s why all those strange incidents occurred at the manor.

As for the mastermind behind the scenes, it had no idea.

The person was very well concealed.

Even if they caught it, with the person behind the scenes unresolved, more dangers would emerge.

This matter was not over yet.

”Accept money, dispel calamities for others.”

Life is hard, I endure.

Chuzheng sat back down expressionlessly, fiercely opening the bottle.

Chuzheng’s actions startled Su Tiyue, ”Miss Chuzheng...”

Opening the bottle like this, there was a ninety percent chance the unknown creature would escape.

Nevertheless, Chuzheng turned the bottle upside down and quickly dumped the unknown creature out.

The manner was like dumping trash.

A mass of inky unknown creature hadn’t even stretched out its body before it was pressed down by someone.

Its edged parts slapped against the metal table as it struggled.

At that moment, Chuzheng resembled someone ready to butcher a fish at any moment.

Su Tiyue: ”...”

Chuzheng’s fingers searched through the blob of ink and soon pulled out a triangular metal piece.

At the same moment the metal piece was pulled out, Su Tiyue heard the alert from the Spirit Value Detector.

He took a look at what he had grabbed.

Spirit Value Fluctuation 147...

Chuzheng tossed the metal piece onto the table, where it bounced twice, emitting a crisp sound.

Chuzheng slapped the blob of ink down with force, fiercely and viciously.

”Who gave you this?”

A thin, sharp voice responded, ”A... very powerful person.”

It spoke like a toddler learning to talk, somewhat slurred and very awkward to listen to.

The unknown creature was mimicking human speech, and this particular one must have rarely imitated humans, hence the unclear diction.

How they produced speech was something current science couldn’t explain; all that was understood was they simply could.

This was probably what was meant by having a unique talent or ability.

Chuzheng fastened onto the key point: ”Human, or your kind?”

”Same... human...” the unknown creature uttered unclearly: ”I don’t know... he had the air of a human and also the aura of my kind.”

What it remembered most clearly was that the person was very terrifying.

”Parasitic?” Su Tiyue suggested: ”That would cause Spirit Value Fluctuation in a human.”

”Hmm.” Chuzheng didn’t refute.

This indeed was the only explanation.

Chuzheng asked it, ”Besides you, who else is there?”

”Don’t... don’t know...” the unknown creature was clearly frightened: ”I really don’t know, don’t kill me, I’ll tell you everything I know.”

Chuzheng stuffed it back into the bottle.

”Is this the thing that concealed its presence?” Su Tiyue looked at the metal piece left behind, the confusion clear on her face: ”What is this?”

Metal?

How could it conceal the presence of an unknown creature?

Chuzheng picked up the metal piece, her slender and fair fingertips pinching it, applying slight pressure.

The metal piece made a cracking sound and split in the middle.

Bits and pieces of light scattered from the crack.

Su Tiyue knew what it was.

Soul.

Who coined this term was now impossible to trace, but as far as he was aware, Chuzheng used this term as well.

But that light was feeble, scarce...

For a normal unknown creature, the soul should not be so sparse.

With a flick of her lips, Su Tiyue voiced her uncertainty, ”Is this an unknown creature?” It didn’t seem quite right.

Chuzheng’s clear gaze landed on the shattered metal shard, her lips parting slightly, ”Or rather, a part of the unknown creature.”

This was not a complete K6.

It was merely a fragment of it within this metal shard.

The unknown creature carrying it could conceal the spirit value fluctuations.

Simply put—K6 had been dismembered, and what they carried was the corpse of K6.

Even a dismembered unknown creature could still have its inherent abilities utilized.

Su Tiyue didn’t quite grasp this concept.

”What do you mean?” Professor Su asked when unsure.

”I have no need to clear up your confusion,” Chuzheng replied, quite unaccommodating.

Why should I share the clues I’ve discovered with you?

Entitlement is unacceptable!

Su Tiyue: ”...”

Why was it so difficult to communicate with her?

From the current clues, they knew someone or some unknown creature behind the scenes wanted to kill Xing Jue and obtain the password for the machine room.

Reason: Unknown.

The same metal shard.

The same K6 capable of hiding spirit value fluctuations.

Was this mastermind behind the scenes the same individual?

Or was it a coincidence?

Chuzheng did not believe in such coincidences.

There must be a connection between the two.

But at present, anyone they caught was clueless, leaving them with no further leads.

It took a while before Hu Shuo returned.

Su Tiyue had already spoken to Hu Shuo earlier.

Hu Shuo was also preoccupied with heavy thoughts, speaking softly with Su Tiyue, likely about her recent ’discussion’ with Chuzheng.

The worry in Hu Shuo’s brow grew deeper.

Still no lead on the culprit behind the scenes.

As long as the danger to the gentleman remained unresolved, Hu Shuo couldn’t find peace.

Glancing at the time, Su Tiyue remarked, ”It’s getting late, and we’re not reaching any conclusions, so I’ll head back. If there’s a lead, I’ll notify Mr. Hu.”

Hu Shuo nodded and made a gesture of invitation, ”Let me see out Professor Su.”

Su Tiyue didn’t refuse.

The two of them walked out one after the other.

Suddenly stopping, Su Tiyue turned around, his glasses reflecting a sharp glint, ”Miss Chuzheng, how do you plan to handle it?”

It referred to the unknown creature in the bottle.

Chuzheng glanced at the bottle on the table, ”That’s none of your business.”

This was my catch!

I’ll handle it as I please!

It’s none of your damn business!

With a courteous yet gentle inquiry, Su Tiyue turned back around, ”Miss Chuzheng, if possible, could you hand it over to me? You’ve asked all you could, and it’s of no use to you now.”

Tapping the bottle with her fingertip, Chuzheng said enigmatically, ”Are you planning to give it a chance to live?”

Choosing his words carefully, Su Tiyue countered, ”Our management will deal with it fairly...”

Indifferently, Chuzheng rejected, ”I will not give it to you.” It was my capture.

”...”

Chuzheng, holding the bottle, entered the inner room.

Chuzheng tossed the bottle in hand, ”Tough luck, falling into my hands.”

The unknown creature in the bottle seemed to understand and uttered a couple of thin, whimpering sounds.

She placed the bottle on top of the game cabin’s lid.

The soft light from inside the game cabin illuminated her face, casting a delicate, yet slightly cold profile of the girl.

Chuzheng looked at the blurry figure inside the game cabin.

Who are you, really.
