Chapter 306 - Meeting Duan Ye

The night was dark.

However, the square in the changling strange land wasn’t dark.

Because the light of the fire shone from not far away, Chen Yu, Duan Ye, and Bahuang Yi could clearly see each other.

“You guys…”

“Where did you come from?”

The expression under Bahuang Yi’s mask became colder and colder.

There were a total of thirty-two warriors who had left Shanghai.

The other twenty-nine people were fighting to the death in Changling City. Other than him, the captain, and Jill, how could there be any other Law Enforcement members?

And there were two of them the moment they appeared.

‘Could it be…’

Bahuang Yi stood where he was and looked at the two of them seriously. ‘One of them… could it be Chen Yu?’

Thinking of this, his mind spun and compared the figures and attire of the two people in front of him.

‘Both of them are wearing black robes, so it’s not easy to recognize them.’

‘But no matter where they are, Chen Yu has been carrying something that looks like a motherboard. There’s also a sword on it.’

‘That sword seems to have been augmented with a space-slicing martial art, so it’s extremely sharp.’

‘Although both of them don’t carry sword-shaped weapons, this person…” Bahuang Yi looked at Duan Ye as if he was deep in thought. “The back of his robe is bulging, so it’s very likely that it’s the motherboard.’

‘Then…’

Bahuang Yi began to summarize, staring at Duan Ye. ‘He, is very likely Chen Yu.’

‘And he…’ Bahuang Yi looked at Chen Yu again. “He should be the Fair Association’s fake Law Enforcement.”

‘It’s a pity that the signal can’t be transmitted in the wild. Otherwise, through the Law Enforcement system communication in the mask, we can immediately find the fake one.’

After completing the thoughts in his mind, Bahuang Yi faced Chen Yu and tentatively released a space cut.

Crack–

Along with the crisp sound of glass shattering, a crack suddenly appeared in the originally stable space.

However, Chen Yu’s keen senses were extremely high. Coupled with his full concentration, it was easy for him to dodge such a sneak attack.

Swoosh–

Chen Yu did two somersaults out of thin air to avoid the spatial crack. Instead of being angry, he was delighted.

‘Spatial martial art.’

‘Instant cast.’

‘And he didn’t want to hurt me…’

‘It’s Duan Ye!’

Chen Yu stared at Bahuang Yi and couldn’t hide his excitement. ‘It’s Duan Ye! He’s greeting me.’

‘This idiot, he actually came here.’

‘Where did he get the Law Enforcer mask?’

‘Did he steal it from those Law Enforcers back then?’

‘Yes… it should be like that.’

‘Then…’

Chen Yu turned his head and looked at true Duan Ye, bursting with killing intent. ‘Kill this person and have a chat with Duan Ye.’

Duan Ye: “…”

Sensing Chen Yu’s hostility toward him, Duan Ye’s eyebrows twitched wildly.

In his heart, he classified this person as a ‘b*stard.’

‘That person hit you, but you didn’t retaliate. Instead, you aimed at me? Is there something wrong with your brain?’

After silently criticizing him, Duan Ye looked at Bahuang Yi with a serious expression. “This person, on the other hand, is a little strange. Just like me, he also knows spatial martial arts…”

Thus, just like that…

The three of them entered a stalemate once again.

Bahuang Yi stared at Chen Yu.

Chen Yu stared at Duan Ye.

Duan Ye stared at Bahuang Yi.

Each of them had different emotions.

The atmosphere at the scene became more and more oppressive.

‘I launched a surprise attack, but this person didn’t retaliate…’

‘Why?’

‘Maybe he’s the real Chen Yu?’

Bahuang Yi subconsciously pushed his mask.

In the northeast, other than Chen Yu, there shouldn’t be any ‘wild’ Law Enforcers.

That was because there were only so many Law Enforcers in the country, and they were all recorded by the state.

Although as a normal Law Enforcer, they didn’t know the identity of each Law Enforcer, they were still relatively clear about the location of each Law Enforcer.

Currently, most of the Law Enforcers were gathered in the south.

In the Northeast region, there was no one other than Chen Yu.

“Then there must be a fake between the two.” Bahuang Yi shifted his gaze from Chen Yu to Duan Ye.

“If I remember correctly, my teacher, Jill, once taught Chen Yu the ‘secret signal’ system.”

“So as long as I say that secret signal, Chen Yu will definitely react. and the one that doesn’t react will definitely be fake.”

In an instant, Bahuang Yi sorted everything out and pressed his palms together.

Dong!

A surging force spread out.

Bahuang Yi suddenly said, “SSNI-674! (Jump!)”

As soon as he said that, Chen Yu and Duan Ye’s expressions changed and they subconsciously jumped into the sky.

Kacha —

A long and narrow space crack was created in a flash. It cut the spot where Chen Yu and Duan Ye were standing just now.

Plop.

The crack slowly disappeared.

The two of them jumped up and down.

They turned their heads to look at Bahuang Yi.

Bahuang Yi: “…”

He was stunned.

Although his face under the mask was still expressionless, he was indeed stunned.

A few seconds ago, he would never have expected that these two people… actually knew the secret code.

At the same time, Chen Yu and Duan Ye were also shocked on the spot.

Chen Yu looked at Duan Ye. ‘How did he know our class’s secret signal?’

Duan Ye looked at Bahuang Yi and then at Chen Yu. ‘Why do they know our class’s secret signal?’

The three of them looked at each other.

There was a long silence.

The north’s winter wind was mixed with ice-cold snowflakes that flew in all directions.

Chen Yu, Duan Ye, and Bahuang Yi only felt a wave of heat.

After an unknown number of minutes…

Bahuang Yi reached out and slowly took off his mask.

A familiar face was revealed.

“Bahuang… Bahuang Yi?!”

Chen Yu was shocked and immediately took off his mask.

“Chen… Chen Yu?!”

Duan Ye was shocked and immediately took off his mask.

“Duan… Duan Ye?!”

Bahuang Yi was shocked…

Chen Yu looked at Duan Ye. “Duan Ye?!”

Duan Ye looked at Bahuang Yi. “Bahuang Yi?!”

Bhang Yi looked at Bahuang Yi.”…”

“…”

The three of them were silent.

After a while, they spoke at the same time.

Bahuang Yi: “Duan Ye, you joined the Fair Association?”

Chen Yu: “What a coincidence.”

Duan Ye: “Bahuang Yi, you really didn’t die.”

Everyone: “…”

After a moment of silence, Chen Yu raised his hand and said, “Wait a moment. It’s a little messy. Let’s go over it properly. Who wants to go first?”

Duan Ye raised his hand and said, “I’ll go first.”

“Alright, go ahead.”

Padah.

After throwing away his mask, Duan Ye swept his gaze over Chen Yu and Bahuang Yi. After thinking for a while, he decided to go first and say to Bahuang Yi, “Bahuang Yi, I knew you wouldn’t die. Your so-called suicide attempt was just to play with me.”

“No.” Bahuang Yi’s tone was indifferent. “I didn’t play with you.”

“I can testify to that.” Chen Yu raised his hand. “Duan Ye, that night, he really didn’t play with you.”

Duan Ye: “…Brother Yu.”

Chen Yu: “Yes.”

Duan Ye: “You’re still the same.”

Chen Yu: “Are you talking to your father like that now?”

Rip.

After taking off his black robe, Duan Ye revealed a body full of powerful muscles. He chuckled and said, “It seems that you and he didn’t come together. Then the three of us running into each other is truly a miraculous fate.”

“That night, he really didn’t play with you.” Chen Yu continued to dwell on the previous topic. “He really wanted to die, but he was saved by his father again.”

“That’s not important.” Duan Ye unleashed his peak level 2 strength and looked directly at Bahuang Yi. “I’ll just kill him again.”

“So domineering.” Chen Yu gave him a thumbs up. “You’re courting death.”

“How is it?” Duan Ye looked sideways at Chen Yu. “Do you want to attack him together? Kill him and I’ll treat you to health care.”

Chen Yu: “I…”

“Chen Yu.” Bahuang Yi interrupted him and said calmly, “The country’s higher-ups ordered you to go to Shanghai and go back to Beijing University to study.”

“Beijing University has been destroyed.”

“It has been rebuilt in Shanghai.”

“But in my heart, it has been destroyed.” Chen Yu spread his hands. “Without Brother Tie, without the fish, without Bahuang Yao, even if it is rebuilt, will it still be Beijing University?”

“I’m not discussing with you.” Bahuang Yi raised his head. “I’m informing you. Go to Shanghai and go back to Beijing University.”

“What if you don’t go?”

“I’ll tie you up.”

“Heh, you really represent the government.” Duan Ye sneered and turned to look at Chen Yu. “Brother Yu, don’t bother with him. He’s just a lackey of the government. Come to our Fair Association.”

“Duan Ye…” Chen Yu’s gaze was complicated and his tone was filled with disappointment. “How can you be together with those scumbags from the Fair Association?”

“…” Duan Ye fell silent.

Chen Yu: “How’s the treatment? is the salary high? The price is suitable, so it’s not a big deal to go and take a look.”

Hearing this, Bahuang Yi narrowed his eyes. “Chen Yu, you know the current situation. There are some things that you can’t say.”

Chen Yu: “I’ve joined the Fair Association.”

Duan Ye: “Yes!”

Chen Yu: “Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.”

Duan Ye said, “Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!”

Dong!

Seeing that the two of them were provoking him, Bahuang Yi no longer hesitated. He instantly erupted with a Level 4 force and charged at Chen Yu.

Pa!

Duan Ye immediately pressed his palms together and said with a sharp gaze, “Martial Arts — Space Escape Punishment!”

Kacha–

The space ten meters in front of Chen Yu distorted, curled, and tore, forming a dense ‘net’ that blocked Bahuang Yi’s path.

Bahuang Yi narrowed his eyes and stopped abruptly.

Chen Yu took this opportunity to jump up and run behind Duan Ye.

Next to this position was the space-time portal that was slowly rotating.

Turning his head, Bahuang Yi looked Duan Ye up and down. “In just a month, you’ve learned spatial martial arts to this extent.”

“It can’t be helped if you’re talented,” Duan Ye retorted.

“Chen Yu.” Bahuang Yi looked past Duan Ye and looked into Chen Yu’s eyes. “What do you mean? Join the Fair Association?”

“I don’t want to go back to Shanghai with you. That’s all.” Chen Yu shrugged. “Unless you…”

“I said, if you don’t want to go back, I’ll tie you up and bring you back.”

“It’s not that I can’t go back, unless…”

“Don’t blame me for being rude,” Bahuang Yi interrupted again. He circulated his Qi and walked toward Chen Yu and Duan Ye step by step.

Chen Yu: “…Can You f*cking listen to me say ‘unless’?”

“No unless.”

Chen Yu: “You f*cking…”

“…” His footsteps stopped. Bahuang Yi was expressionless. “Alright, go ahead and say it.”

Chen Yu: “I can go back, as long as…”

Duan Ye suddenly said, “Brother Yu, it’s still the same old rules. You fight in close combat, and I attack from afar.”

Chen Yu: “…I can go back, as long as…”

Duan Ye: “Which one of us will go first?”

Chen Yu: “…As long as…”

Duan Ye exploded with energy. “For the tribe!”

Pa!

Chen Yu slapped Duan Ye to the ground. “Where the f*ck is the tribe? Can you let me finish saying ‘as long as’?”

Bahuang Yi continued to walk forward. “You’re too long-winded. You won’t have the chance to say it.”

Chen Yu was about to go crazy. “D*mn it, WD, don’t move! or I’ll commit suicide!”

Bahuang Yi: “…”

He stopped.

“Just one sentence.” He extended his index finger and Chen Yu spoke faster. “As long as you teach me the ‘Psychic Lock of Dense Luck’, I’ll follow you back to Shanghai.”

“What Place?”Duan ye got up in confusion.

Bahuang Yi’s eyes were sharp. “Why do you need to learn this move?”

Chen Yu: “I…”

Bahuang Yi: “Do you want to break the bond with Bahuang Yao?”

Chen Yu: “…”

“Impossible.” Bahuang Yi revealed traces of killing intent. “Don’t even think about getting rid of her. When I die, it’s impossible. When I’m alive, it’s even more impossible.”

Standing where he was, Chen Yu didn’t want to say a word.

But he had no choice but to speak.

“This… Brother-in-law, you’ve misunderstood. I don’t want to dissolve my relationship with Xiao Yao.”

“Then why did you learn this move?”

“I… Hmm… I just wanted to ‘deepen’ the binding after I learned it.”

“I’ll help you deepen it.” Bahuang Yi was unmoved.

“I can do it myself. There’s no need to trouble you.”

“No trouble.”

Chen Yu: “…”

At the side, Duan Ye was completely confused. “What exactly are you guys talking about?”

Chen Yu: “…We had a breakdown.”

“Breakdown? It’s good that we have a breakdown. If we have a breakdown, you’ll be able to enter the Fair Association.”

As he said that, Duan Ye rubbed his hands excitedly. “Brother Yu, although only a little over a month has passed, I still feel that we’ve been apart for a long time. I never thought that I would still have the chance to fight alongside you.”

“…”

“Brother Yu?”

“…”

“Brother Yu? Say something?”

Duan Ye subconsciously turned his head and realized that there was no one behind him.

Duan Ye: “???”

“Where did your Brother Yu run to?” Bahuang Yi pointed straight at the alien realm.

Duan Ye looked over and saw that Chen Yu had already stepped into the distorted space-time door.

“Brother Ye, I still have something to do. I’ll go in first.” Chen Yu waved his hand. “You two master and disciple can chat slowly.”

Buzz —

As he finished speaking, Chen Yu completely disappeared in front of the two of them.

“He… He…” Duan Ye was dumbstruck. He looked at Bahuang Yi in shock. “He went in?”

“Yes.” Bahuang Yi nodded.

“Suicide?! That’s an A-Rank alien realm! It’s not allowed to enter!”

“I know.” Bahuang Yi continued to nod.

“It’s full of Wood Powder!” Duan Ye held his head with both hands. He could not believe it. “Has Chen Yu gone mad? Has he gone mad?”

“I don’t think so.” Bahuang Yi picked up the mask and put it back on his face. “It seems that he has found a way to avoid the damage caused by Wood Powder.”

“…”

Duan Ye slowly calmed down and looked up at Bahuang Yi.

Bahuang Yi didn’t move and looked at Duan Ye quietly.

“Now, only the two of us are left.”

“Yes.”

“Please tell me the truth. At that time, were you really dead or were you faking your death?”

Pushing his mask twice, Bahuang Yi said, “I really died.”

“But you didn’t die.”

“I was saved.”

“You can still live with that kind of injury?” Duan Ye sneered.

“…” Bahuang Yi paused for a long time. “I’m alive.”

“But on the internet and in the news, you were dead.”

“It’s arranged by the state.”

“…Wonderful, too wonderful.” Duan Ye took a step forward. “Some are alive, but he’s already dead. Some people are ‘dead’, so he can live forever.”

“…”

“When a person dies, the debt disappears, and a cicada leaves its shell. The hundreds of thousands of people in He City really can’t die in peace, right?”

“I want to die. It’s just that I didn’t die.”

“Then why don’t you die now?” Duan Ye waved his hand, took out a heavy pistol, and handed it to Bahuang Yi. “There’s a bullet inside. You can die with dignity.”

“I’ve already died once.” Bahuang Yi shook his head. “I won’t die.”

Duan Ye flew into a rage and fiercely threw the gun on the ground. “So you’re still f*cking farting!”

Bang!

Bang!

The gun that landed on the ground rang.

Duan Ye lowered his head and looked at his left leg that was still bleeding from the bullet.

Duan Ye: “…”

Bahuang Yi: “…”

Duan Ye: “…WCTM.”
