"Are you hurt?" While playing with the PSP in hand and dealing with Huang Wei's attempts to win her over, Yang Xiaoyou looked up and noticed Liu Lianyue occasionally rubbing her arm, frowning slightly.
"Ah, Lian Yue, are you feeling unwell?" Huang Wei, who had been pestering Yang Xiaoyou for resources, raised his head with a sycophantic expression upon hearing this.
Recently, Yang Xiaoyou had indeed appeared quite calm. After gradually figuring things out, Huang Wei and his group of troublemakers reverted to their old selves. It was hard to tell whether it was better for them to be so shameless or if their adaptability was commendable.
"The Activity Room is really unfortunate," Liu Lianyue remarked, ignoring the fidgeting Huang Wei and glancing at Yang Xiaoyou.
"Ah, Lian Yue, you can't say that; your Activity Room is haunted," Huang Wei replied with a mournful expression.
However, Liu Lianyue, who had already grasped how to handle the situation, paid him no mind.
"Wait? So that other one was her." Upon arriving at the Activity Room and hearing Liu Lianyue's words, Yang Xiaoyou's eyes flickered with understanding.
When she had gone there before, aside from a watchful gaze, there had also been another seemingly harmless fellow who appeared to be just passing by. After hearing Liu Lianyue's comment, Yang Xiaoyou realized it was her. Thinking about this made her heart feel slightly touched.
This fellow had noticed someone strange watching her and had actually come over to check on her, even getting hurt in the process.
"Give me your hand." Seeing Liu Lianyue about to ask something else, Yang Xiaoyou smiled and spoke up.
"What for?" Liu Lianyue, who had initially planned to discuss who it might be and leverage her connections to find out more, looked at Yang Xiaoyou with curiosity.
However, without bothering to explain further, Yang Xiaoyou grabbed Liu Lianyue's injured left hand. With quick movements, she kneaded the area around the shoulder where it hurt a few times. After a series of cracking sounds, she released her grip. The entire action took only a few seconds.
"Hiss! You! Wait, what?" Initially annoyed by the sudden sharp pain and ready to retaliate, Liu Lianyue paused mid-action as she felt the movement in her injured arm and wore an odd expression.
She shook her injured shoulder repeatedly while looking at Yang Xiaoyou with a hint of bewilderment.
"Maybe don't shake it like that; take some time to rest. It's just a regular strain; there's nothing serious. It seems that person didn't hit too hard. If they can control their strength like this, their skill should be above yours. Don't engage in such risky behavior without knowing the details next time," Yang Xiaoyou said after moving her fingers a bit and giving Liu Lianyue a pointed look as she examined her own arm.
"Ah, when did you learn to do that? Tsk tsk, you really have a lot of skills over there. No wonder you refuse to join us directly," Liu Lianyue remarked, also tsking in amazement. She envied Yang Xiaoyou's pushing technique.
"Your teacher can definitely do it better than I can. If you don't learn it yourself, who can you blame? Here, let me bring you some nutritional supplements; you need to move around a bit. Just take it easy for now," Yang Xiaoyou said vaguely while struggling with her lunch.
"By the way, did you get a good look at the other person's appearance? Any specific features? It would help me determine where they're from," Yang Xiaoyou asked again after quickly stuffing some food into her mouth.
"It's someone wearing a strange trench coat or cloak. Um, their eyes are a bit red," Liu Lianyue replied, seemingly recalling something but uncertain.
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaoyou didn't show any other reaction; a shadow flickered in her eyes. "So it's them. Tsk, that last peculiar fellow was manageable. If it's someone else... these fellows are only motivated by profit. I have no dealings or conflicts of interest with them; what do they want from me?"
During lunchtime, it seemed that due to the workload of collecting volunteer forms, Liang Wuxuan had too much on his plate and didn't come over to disturb them, making the atmosphere relatively calm.
On the way home after school, Yang Xiaoyou directly refused to go home with Huang Wei and walked alone down the road while pulling out her phone to contact Charming Shadow in the shadows.
"It's that thing from Tokyo again. Be extra cautious; have there been any other discoveries?"
"Uh, well... I think I've been targeted. I'm currently on Pedestrian Street; there's not much I can do around City Center. But if it really is that kind of thing, could it cause a stir like in Tokyo? I really don't want to go through that again. It seems like they don't want to escalate things either," Charming Shadow said casually while walking along Pedestrian Street, smiling as she glanced at a handsome young man in casual clothes not far behind her.
Although she had a gun on her, it provided no sense of security at that moment. The lack of any overt action from him created an unsettling feeling.
On the other side, after hearing Charming Shadow's words, Yang Xiaoyou couldn't help but scoff. Just as she turned to head toward Pedestrian Street, she suddenly looked up at the roof of a nearby residential building and spotted a figure wrapped entirely in a black cloak standing quietly there.
"Two?" Upon seeing that fellow, Yang Xiaoyou halted her steps and pressed two sharp blades against her palm.
The aura emanating from the figure felt familiar; it belonged to another entity she had encountered during the Sun Jun incident—one that possessed power and was skilled in stealth and reconnaissance.
The two forces collided mid-air!
It seemed as if distorted illusions had appeared all around!
The figure standing on the rooftop, upon seeing Yang Xiaoyou's reaction, lightly kicked off the eaves and dropped down in front of Yang Xiaoyou like a bat, stirring up a cloud of dust. Then, in a hoarse voice, it said, "Long time no see. However, I feel increasingly dangerous this time. Last time I had a ninety percent chance of success, but this time I don't even have a thirty percent chance. The human body indeed contains infinite potential."
"Hmph, if you have something to say, I don't mind keeping you here." After a cold snort, Yang Xiaoyou's voice sounded somewhat chilling.
When dealing with such non-human creatures, one could not afford to relax even slightly; muscles had to be tensed up. Otherwise, one would surely be devoured without leaving a bone behind. It was uncertain whether the other party had been using Suppressants all along; after all, it was a naturally mutated being.
"Heh heh, perhaps in a direct confrontation, I might be slightly inferior to you now. However, wanting to keep me here is not enough. But I'm not here to be your enemy; I've recently fallen out with my organization. They stopped my Suppressor distribution. Wait, don't be nervous; I took out one of the distributors. At least for the next two months, you won't have to worry." Seeing the imminent explosion from the fellow, Xiao Yun spoke casually.
Xiao Yun understood what the other party was worried about. The fact that he could maintain his current rationality under the influence of Suppressants already made him an anomaly. If the Suppressants were to stop, he couldn't predict what he would become.
"Hmph! So what do you want? No matter the reason, since you've stopped taking your medication, if you appear before me again next time, I will definitely kill you!" Yang Xiaoyou narrowed his eyes and moved his fingers slightly.
He indeed did not have complete confidence in being able to keep the other party here. Since this was a relatively rational fellow, completely provoking him would not benefit him at all. Not to mention that creating some infection incidents nearby would give him a massive headache.
"No, no, no. Due to the organization's vigilance, it's quite difficult for me to obtain Suppressants again. However, you can help me." Xiao Yun waved his hand to indicate he meant no harm and smiled as he spoke.
