In the suite of the Yuanjiang Hotel, a much more composed Bai Miao Miao stood behind Jiang Bai, braiding his hair into small plaits. She glanced at the figure on the sofa, drinking in broad daylight, and hesitated before speaking up. "Have you all heard? Yu Yue has been spotted living with Laurel from the Top Ten List."
No one responded, and Bai Miao Miao continued on her own. "Should we ask him about it? After all, he went missing for four years after that Gui Jing incident. He must know more than we do about Yun Zhi Yue..."
The sound of a shattered glass echoed sharply in the quiet room. Bai Miao Miao fell silent as Jiang Bai gently patted her hand in reassurance, and both chose not to say more.
It had been four years. Just mentioning Yun Zhi Yue's name would send Song Huai into a low-pressure state, more terrifying than the eerie sights at Hell Level attractions.
A knock at the door announced the arrival of hotel staff bringing food. As soon as the door opened, voices from the corridor reached their ears.
"Get lost, Laurel! Do you think I'm an idiot? I may have amnesia, but I'm not stupid. You offended someone and now want to drag me down with you? Dream on and leave me alone!"
"I didn't! I admit I'm in a bit of trouble, but I swear I’m not deceiving you. We were good friends before your memory loss; I genuinely want to take care of you."
"Ugh, who do you think you're disgusting? In this day and age, there's no limit to how low people can go with their words. I'm a straight man; I don't need your care. Get away from me!"
"Hey, don’t be like that! Alright then, if we’re not talking feelings, let’s talk business. This bizarre conference is tied to the Top Ten List because Song Huai discovered a location that seems to be an Eerie Guide hellish attraction. The higher-ups want all ten of us to go in and push that guide into Gui Jing."
"The Top Ten List is all about alliances. If I go in alone as a single person, won't I just get bullied? Luckily, you’ve returned after four years; we can team up!"
Yun Zhi Yue shot a sidelong glance at Gold-haired Raul, who looked sincere. "The people you've offended are probably another group within the Top Ten List. I'd rather go in alone than team up with you; what’s in it for me?"
Laurel replied oddly, "I mean Yu Yue, do you really think your social skills are that great? You’ve offended more people in the Top Ten List than I have. We’re both in the same boat here; if we don’t band together now, we’ll just end up getting taken down one by one."
Yun Zhi Yue paused; it was true. Given Yu Yue's notoriously bad temper, it was impossible for him not to offend anyone.
After spending a few days together, it was clear that Laurel was no good either; he and Yu Yue were indeed two sides of the same coin.
But he still refused to back down verbally. "I don’t need to team up with you either. Isn’t Song Huai supposed to be exceptionally strong? Can't I join their team instead?"
Laurel burst into laughter, filled with mockery. "It's not just my buddies laughing at you; that guy came out of Yu City and Gui Jing even weirder than you did. If you try to negotiate cooperation with them, they might just crush you on the spot! What do you have to entice them?"
Yun Zhi Yue grinned mischievously and replied playfully, "What if I strip down and seduce them? What do you think?"
Laurel was indeed taken aback, just about to comment that the joke was rather annoying.
Suddenly, she glanced behind her: "You can give it a try; this is a perfect opportunity. Just take me along for the ride."
Yun Zhi Yue's face, hidden beneath a black mask, froze. No way! What kind of luck did she stumble upon? Did her careless words happen to reach the right person?
Steeling herself, she didn’t turn around. "Well, I think I’ll just go back with you. This hotel has bad vibes; let’s go."
Just as she took a step, her body was ensnared by a torrent of water, forcefully yanked into a room and slammed against the wall, pinned down.
"Damn it!" Yun Zhi Yue exclaimed. "This is ruthless!"
