Chapter 185: Rescue (1)
“Name.”
“Chen Yu.”
“Gender.”
“Can I have a cigarette?”
“Cigarette?”
“Yes.” Chen Yu nodded and made a gesture of holding a cigarette. “According to international practice, before a prisoner confesses, shouldn’t he have a cigarette to calm himself down?”
“Give it to him.”
“Thank you.”
“Speak, gender.”
“Phew…” After blowing out a smoke ring, Chen Yu answered, “Male.”
“Strength level.”
“1.5…”
Outside the alien square, the police officers formed a small circle and trapped Chen Yu inside.
A female police officer held a record book and interrogated him meticulously.
“So, you’re saying that you spent the whole night in the alien realm?”
“That’s right.” Chen Yu nodded. “What exactly happened outside? How did it…”
“Shut up. I’m asking you now.”
“Fine, you ask, you ask.”
“As everyone knows, the night in the alien realm on Bodhi Island is very dangerous. Why did you go in?”
“To pursue danger.”
“…Please answer seriously.” The policewoman put down her notebook. “This matter is very serious. You’re acting suspiciously. It’s very suspicious.”
“What exactly happened?” Chen Yu was even more curious.
The policewoman stared at Chen Yu’s eyes seriously. After a moment of silence, she said, “Tang City was attacked by a strange beast.”
“What?” Chen Yu’s pupils suddenly shrank. “A Beast Tide?!”
“It’s not a Beast Tide. An exotic beast appeared in the city.”
“An exotic beast in the city… came out from underground?!”
Hearing this, the nearby armed police officers were shocked. They all aimed their guns at Chen Yu.
One of them even almost pulled the trigger.
Gripping the record book tightly, the policewoman’s face was solemn. “Didn’t you stay in the strange realm for a night?”
“Yeah.”
“How do you know that the exotic beast came out from underground?”
“Because I’ve seen it before.” Chen Yu spread his hands. “A few days ago, didn’t the 92 Hotel’s beasts come out from underground? There were about forty strange beasts in total. The biggest one was a monkey, about level four. He swung his tail very strongly.”
“You… how do you know so much?!”
“Oh.” Chen Yu flicked the ash from his cigarette. “I was at the scene of that episode.”
The armed police: “…”
“And killed a lot of exotic beasts.”
“You… Who are you?” the policewoman asked in a deep voice.
Swoosh.
After flicking the cigarette, Chen Yu stood up and shook his collar. “Since you asked Sincerely, I’ll be merciful and tell you. In order to prevent the world from being destroyed and to maintain world peace, carry out love and…”
Before he could finish his sentence, he saw that an armed police officer had already installed cannonballs in the cannon barrel. He immediately changed his words. “I am a student of Beijing University. I was the one who solved the death of the group of martial artists in Tang City.”
“You are from Beijing University?!” The policewoman was stunned.
“Yes. Beijing University, Year 1, Class 2, Chen Yu. You can go and check. This is my ticket and student ID.”
As he spoke, Chen Yu took out the ID from his inner pocket.
The policewoman immediately took it and went through it line by line with her colleagues.
After a while, after confirming the authenticity of the ID, she became even more confused. “You are a student of Beijing University. Why did you come to Bodhi Island alone? Why did you have to spend the night there?”
“I told you, I did it to pursue danger.”
“…This is not a normal reason.” The policewoman shook her head. “I’m sorry, even if you are a student of Beijing University, you can not escape suspicion. Currently, Tang City is on a Level 1 alert. We will send you to the headquarters for further interrogation and inform your school.”
“No problem, I will cooperate with everyone.”
“Okay.” She handed the notebook in her hand to her colleague. The policewoman took out a syringe. “For safety, we will inject you with Qi deactivation agent to prevent you from using Qi.”
“Come on.” Chen Yu stretched out his arm. “Give me more.”
“Don’t worry, this is light. You’ll be back to normal in five hours at the latest.”
Then, she inserted the needle into Chen Yu’s vein.

Chen Yu: “Thank you.”
“What’s there to thank?” The policewoman looked at Chen Yu strangely, then pointed to the SUV at the side. “Get in the car. I’ll take you to the headquarters.”
“What’s Tang City like now?” Chen Yu was handcuffed and sat obediently in the back seat. “Are there many casualties?”
“…” The policewoman sat in the passenger seat and was silent for a long time. “You’ll know when we arrive.”
Beep! Beep!
The driver honked twice and slowly stepped on the accelerator.
The SUV gradually accelerated and drove toward Tang City.
On both sides of the street, the traffic was not as heavy as before.
One could only see groups of soldiers setting up checkpoints and patrolling.
They walked and stopped. In less than half an hour, they arrived outside the city.
Before entering the city, Chen Yu’s expression became solemn.
The hundred-meter-high city wall could not block the smoke, ash, and flames rising from within.
Dust and dust particles converged into a pungent smog that enveloped the entire city.
As far as the eye could see, it was only gray.
As soon as they entered the city walls, the tragic atmosphere was even more intense.
In the collapsed, broken, and dilapidated ruins, one could vaguely see bloody limbs and broken arms.
On the cracked, shattered, and muddy road surface, only the dark red coffin cloth remained intact.
Although there were no traces of exotic beasts, Chen Yu could completely imagine the tragic scene at that time.
“How many exotic beasts exactly drilled out?” Chen Yu asked as the body of the car swayed.
“There are a total of 17 locations where a herd of exotic beasts has appeared. We are not in charge of the statistics, so we don’t know,” the policewoman said. “But I estimate that there are at least 300 of them.”
“300…”
Chen Yu narrowed his eyes. With a ‘ka’ sound, he pulled off the handcuffs, took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it up, took a deep breath, and exhaled heavily. “It’s close to a super-small-scale Beast Tide…”
All the armed police officers in the car: “…”
Chen Yu: “What’s wrong? Are you looking at me like that?”
The policewoman: “Handcuffs… Handcuffs…”
“Oh!” Chen Yu reacted and quickly put his hands together. “Sorry, I was thinking too much just now. I was so focused on taking out my cigarette that I forgot about the handcuffs.”
“You… can you break free of the handcuffs without using force?” The policewoman was dumbfounded.
“Ah.” Looking at the broken handcuffs, Chen Yu nodded. “It shouldn’t be a problem.”
“…”
The whole car fell into silence.
After a moment, the driver couldn’t help but ask, “You… What level are you exactly?”
“1.5.”
“You can break the handcuffs without using force at 1.5?”
“Oh, I’m born with supernatural strength. Don’t mind these details.” Holding the cigarette butt in his mouth, Chen Yu stretched out his hands. “Give me a new pair of handcuffs.”
Everyone: “…”
“I won’t break them this time. I promise.”
…
Unlike most buildings in the city.
The General Public Security Bureau was intact.
This was not because the martial artists in the Bureau were powerful. It was just that the Safety Bureau did not set up a base nearby.
After completing the handover, Chen Yu was locked in the interrogation room.
As he was a student of Beijing University, two police officers from the Bureau came to take charge soon.
“Hey, I know you.” Seeing one of the two police officers, Chen Yu nodded. “I remember… you are Officer Wang’s assistant, right?”
“Yes, it’s me.” The police officer picked up the notebook. “My colleagues have already told us the details. We will complete the questioning as usual and let you go.”
“No rush. Where is Officer Wang? How is he?”
“…He’s been sacrificed.”
“I’m sorry.”
“He’s a hero.” The police officer forced a smile. “This is a happy thing. He comes from the people, dedicates himself to the people, and sublimates himself to the people.”
Chen Yu: “He’s worthy of the people.”
“Yes. Then let’s begin. name.”
“Chen Yu…”
After completing the detailed questioning, Chen Yu was cleared of suspicion.
After the disaster, everyone was very busy; therefore, they didn’t have any familiar policemen to send him off.
After leaving the police station alone, he saw three familiar figures.
Zhang Tie.
Duan Ye.
Bahuang Yao.
“Brother Yu!” Duan Ye waved his hand forcefully.
“Hmm?” Chen Yu was stunned. “Why are you here?”
“There was a strange beast event in Tang City last night. We couldn’t get through to your phone.” Bahuang Yao glanced at Zhang Tie carefully, “Brother Tie was worried about you, so he brought us here overnight.”
“Wasn’t the railway blocked at night?”
Duan Ye puffed out his chest, “We were on the school’s support plane, surrounded by four fighter planes. That’s really awesome.”
Chen Yu was shocked. “That’s really awesome!”
“Brother Yu.” Walking forward, Duan Ye patted Chen Yu’s shoulder, “Congratulations on coming out. You’d better behave yourself from now on.”
“Duan Ye, you can leave now.” Zhang Tie, who had been silent all this time, opened his mouth.
Duan Ye blinked his eyes and sent a ‘bless yourself’ look before leaving.
“Brother Tie.” Chen Yu stood at attention. “You’re so f*cking handsome today!”
“Chen Yu.” Zhang Tie suppressed his anger. “You’ve gone too far.”
“Yes, I’ve already realized that.” Chen Yu sighed, “Brother Tie, why don’t you beat me up?”
Hearing this, Zhang Tie immediately raised his palm.
Chen Yu said, “But I know that you can’t do it.”
“…” Zhang Tie slowly withdrew his palm.
Chen Yu said, “How about you scold me?”
Zhang Tie said, “You…”
Chen Yu said, “But I know that you can’t open your mouth either.”
Zhang Tie: “…”
Bahuang Yao couldn’t help but cover her face. “What… What an old joke…”
“?” Chen Yu immediately looked at Bahuang Yao with a question mark.
“Chen Yu, don’t look at her, look at me.” Zhang Tie’s face turned solemn.
“Hmm.”
“As you left the team without permission, ignored the emergency command of the security officer, and your poor performance recently, the school has decided to punish you once and deduct 10 credits.”
“What will happen if you are punished too much?” Chen Yu asked.
“If you are severely punished, you will be unable to use some of the school’s facilities. If you are severely punished, you will be expelled from the university.” Zhang Tie clenched his fist. “Although university is free. It doesn’t mean that you can do whatever you want. As a student of Beijing University, you should at least act like a student.”
Chen Yu nodded seriously. “I will do it next time.”
“I hope so.” After throwing a deep glance at Chen Yu, Zhang Tie looked around. “Get ready, let’s start work.”
“Go to work?” Chen Yu asked curiously, “What work?”
Duan Ye took out a hoe from nowhere and put it on his shoulder. “The railway hasn’t been opened yet, and the Express Delivery Company has stopped operating. We can only take the school’s rescue plane back. However, the plane is still in the rescue.”
“That’s why we have to participate in the rescue.” Bahuang Yao continued, “Because when we came to Tang City, Brother Tie told us his identity as a volunteer of the rescue team.”
“Oh.” Chen Yu suddenly understood. He then rolled up his sleeves and said, “Bring me along too.”
“Follow me and meet up with the school.” Zhang Tie sighed and turned around to lead the way.
After Zhang Tie left, Duan Ye immediately came to Chen Yu’s side and hurriedly asked, “Brother Yu, what do you think? Are the girls from Red Light Street pretty?”
Hearing this topic, Bahuang Yao, who had wanted to come closer, decisively turned around and left.
“Why do you want to go to Red Light Street? I went to the alien realm last night.”
“You brought the girls from Red Light Street to the alien realm?” Duan Ye was surprised. “Isn’t this ‘wild’ a little too wild?”
“Don’t say it’s useless. Let me ask you something serious.”
“Is it about body position?”
“…Can you die if you’re not yellow?”
“Then what’s the point of living… Alright, calm down. Don’t draw your sword. Let’s have a good chat.”
After observing his surroundings, Chen Yu lowered his voice and asked, “Have you heard of the Wraiths from Bodhi Island?”
“I know of it. It’s a type of spirit body that can burrow into a person’s body to attack one’s mental state.”
“Then do you know of any method that can suck this type of spirit body over?”
“I know of it! Isn’t that simple?”
Upon hearing this, Chen Yu was ecstatic…
