Online: I Can See Health Bars Chapter 1651 - 739: Wordless (Part 2)
Previously on Online: I Can See Health Bars...
On the second floor, Fang Yu saw Dongfang Aotian swaying past in the corridor. Apparently, the team members were all arranged in the same area.
Dongfang Aotian glanced over here but didn’t greet him. Naturally, Fang Yu wasn’t too courteous either.
Strangely, Dongfang Aotian was very infatuated with Chen Yunyun, yet seemed to have a very indifferent reaction to other women.
Fang Yu sneaked a glance at Ding Hui. Could it be because he had been watching for too long? He thought everything about Ding Hui was great, not one bit inferior to Chen Yunyun. How could Dongfang Aotian show no reaction?
Is it that my taste is the problem?
No!
It must be that Dongfang Aotian sees everything with his lover’s eyes, or more likely, Dongfang Aotian had other plans. What he craved wasn’t Chen Yunyun’s body, but something else about her.
Just as Fang Yu was thinking, Ding Hui had already pushed open the door and said to him.
"Come in, why are you dazing at the door?"
Fang Yu pouted, put his thoughts aside, and entered the room.
Since deciding to stay and join the team, he had to carefully think about strategies and the risks that might arise next.
Just as Fang Yu closed the door, Ding Hui’s voice directly resounded in his mind.
"Husband, let’s just run away."
Wha...what?
Fang Yu was dumbfounded.
He had been thinking about how to follow the team and save people, yet Ding Hui came up with such a statement.
"Didn’t you just, on the way here..."
"That was to make sure you didn’t show any flaws, lest someone discovers something early."
Ding Hui spoke frankly.
"Husband, do you understand the Melted Heart Cave? The dangers of the Land of Gathering Evil are extraordinary. Even with powerful leaders, the chances of surviving are still slim."
The Melted Heart Cave, Fang Yu indeed wasn’t familiar with.
As for the Land of Gathering Evil, Fang Yu only had a concept. He knew it was a perilous place with a heavy concentration of evil qi.
For specifics, he’d have to wait for Daoist Qing Yan and the others to explain.
As for running away...
Seeming to see that Fang Yu wasn’t responding, Ding Hui continued.
"I’ve already confirmed, changing Qian Guxing back to the way he was is quite unlikely. As for Hei Wu Jue, you’ve killed him, which counts as half-revenge for her."
"We also basically understand the situation at Sui Chong Pass."
"The gatekeeper doesn’t dare kill you. She needs your help, so even if we run now, she wouldn’t dare use the same relentless bombardment tactics from the day."
"Apart from the gatekeeper, the strong people within the pass are limited. Only the rescue team members are unfathomable. But some of them are in cahoots with the gatekeeper; the fewer people in the team, the more they each earn! They’re probably wishing for us to leave."
"So the only one who might come after us is Daoist Qing Yan. But the team is about to set off. How long can Daoist Qing Yan pursue us, and how far? You know, every day, the real gatekeeper trapped in the Land of Gathering Evil is in increasing danger."
Fang Yu frowned.
What Ding Hui said was actually reasonable.
And her analysis wasn’t wrong.
But it’s not ethical, it’s too unethical.
Plus... the risk, it’s too high.
Ding Hui’s body suddenly moved closer, blowing on Fang Yu’s earlobe.
"Husband, you’ve also obtained the Demon Sword, and that alone is immensely valuable! Take it to the capital, and it will definitely sell for a good price. Even if you don’t sell it, it’s a divine weapon you can keep for yourself."
"And most importantly... we already know the treasure’s location."
"Husband, do you want to go for a big score?"
Bold.
Ding Hui was always bold and aggressive.
Sometimes, Fang Yu wondered what was going on in Ding Hui’s head.
Thinking carefully, Fang Yu shook his head.
If he was alone, he would dare to fight, steal, rob, run, and escape.
But he’s not, there’s someone with him, he can’t act recklessly.
Of course, he has a chance to escape, but the problem is Ding Hui would definitely be doomed.
"Not leaving, I want to go with them to save people."
"Because of me?"
Fang Yu was startled.
He turned to Ding Hui in surprise.
Only to see Ding Hui smiling slyly, like a woman who has succeeded in a small trick, exuding a particularly attractive charm.
Fang Yu felt a little hot, swallowed a gulp of saliva.
"Husband, tell me, is it because of me that you don’t want to take the risk?"
"...Time to sleep."
Fang Yu walked briskly to the bed.
"Husband~"
That call made Fang Yu’s heart tremble.
Fang Yu had just gotten on the bed, and Ding Hui, as usual, smoothly slipped into the covers, her hands starting to act restlessly, making Fang Yu stare straight.
"Husband, we’re not done talking, why sleep already?"
The breath by his ear made Fang Yu almost lose control, nearly... he started sleeping instantly.
"Husband? Husband??"
The snoring sounds emerged, and only then did Ding Hui stop her actions, glaring.
"Don’t think that just because you’re asleep you’re off the hook. Even if you’re sleeping like the dead, I could still..."
As she spoke, Ding Hui’s hand moved down but quickly stopped.
"Hmph! I’ll let you off this time. Next time, I want you awake and with me..."
...
In reality, Fang Yu, who had rebuilt his body, breathed erratically, like a pillar of heaven.
Ding Hui has been getting bolder lately...
Although aware of his inner emotions, separated by two worlds, by the apocalypse, by so many unknowns and uncertainties, Fang Yu has always hesitated.
Knock knock.
The sound of knocking on the door came from outside.
"Come in."
It’s Brother Qi.
Fang Yu hasn’t seen Uncle Qi Sheng much lately; it’s always Brother Qi passing along messages and information.
No idea what Uncle Qi Sheng has been busy with recently, like a dragon whose head you see, but not its tail.
"Brother Qi, what’s the matter?"
"We dispatched a few people to those places with unusual rumors mentioned earlier for investigation, and now... all those investigators have disappeared."
Fang Yu’s heart stirred.
"How many people disappeared?"
"Five people."
"All disappeared together?"
"All disappeared together."
"...Where did they disappear? What exactly were they investigating?"
Without speaking, Brother Qi handed over a document that had been prepared earlier.
Fang Yu took it and frowned immediately.
It’s similar, but not exactly the same.
Could it be demons...
No matter what, the investigators on Uncle Qi Sheng’s side have disappeared; Fang Yu has to go over and take a look.
"I’ll go there myself."
"I’ll drive you."
Buzz buzz.
At this moment, Fang Yu’s phone on the table buzzed.
Fang Yu picked it up and looked...
"Hey hey hey! Are you there? You promised to help me find Monk Gege!"
"I’ve sent you the data, take a look, take a look!"
"Missing Monk Gege, day one thousand and eight~"
"Liar liar, reply to my message quickly!"
"The phone doesn’t go through either, where are you?"
Quite blunt...
It’s Guo Yuxin.
Going crazy missing Monk Quan Heng, with dozens of calls, hundreds of messages...
Fang Yu replied to her message first, reassuring her to wait.
Then he quickly scanned through the character information Guo Yuxin sent him, thinking briefly.
"Brother Qi, help me contact Uncle; I have something to ask of him."
...
In the dark sewer.
"Squeak squeak!"
"Squeak squeak squeak!"
Groups of rats were gnawing on blood-drenched bones.
Those were human knuckle bones.
The tiny scraps of meat left on the bones prompted the rats to scramble for them, squeaking noisily.
And behind this group of rats, sat a large fat rat, panting heavily like a human.
This big rat was about half the size of a person, like an abnormal mutated rat after exposure to radiation.
And at this moment, it was very human-like, lowering its head to look at the blank parchment soaked in sewage.
"Squeak squeak... Squeak squeak?"
It made a sound, seemingly confused about something.
And on that blank parchment, words began to slowly appear...
[I am the Big Belly Rat Demon, I don’t know why I appeared here, nor do I know why I am like this, or what happened.]
[I know nothing, not even memories exist...]
[The only thing I know is... I want to eat humans!]
[That’s based on an instinctual impulse, that’s a deep inner desire.]
[One person, two people, three people... not enough! I want to eat more people, more people! As long as I eat humans, I will become different!]
[But after eating people... why... has nothing changed?]
[This is not what I imagined.]
[Ultimately... where did it go wrong?]
[Perhaps, eating more people will get me the answer...]
The words on the parchment disappeared one by one, and the bewildered fat rat seemed to have found its goal, with its gaze gradually becoming fierce.
But its undigested belly made it unable to move now.
Only the dark and deep squeaking echoes in the labyrinthine sewer.
