"Hey, Xiao You, I'm back again." Seeing the two familiar figures at the door, Yang Xiaoyou could only force a smile. They had already obtained all the information they wanted, yet they were still being overly cautious.
At the entrance, Zhao Liang patted his junior's shoulder and smiled at Yang Xiaoyou. "It's a work requirement; there's nothing we can do. I actually advised them to talk to your boss, but they insisted on asking you since you're the technical expert and wanted to inquire about some related aspects."
After properly sending off the two fellows, Yang Xiaoyou let out a sigh of relief. The relevant departments of the Chinese Empire were indeed quite meticulous.
However, this time their visit for verification didn't really concern him; it was mainly to audit and check the data from Both Sides.
It seemed they wanted to verify and compare something.
Then, with a wicked grin, Yang Xiaoyou pulled out a small creature that was gnawing on his finger with its claws. He immediately switched to a friendly expression and gently said, "Don't be afraid, it will be over soon. I'll make sure you get some tasty treats afterward."
As he spoke, a syringe appeared in his hand.
"Tsk tsk, without the temptation of benefits, dealing with such things is indeed difficult. Moreover, since I didn't manage to eliminate it in one go last time, getting close to it again will be quite challenging." Looking at the dark red liquid sealed in the test tube in his hand, Yang Xiaoyou bared his teeth.
Recently, he had managed to contact Zhou Xiong once and analyzed some leaked information from him. It was indeed confirmed that Xiao Yun had defected.
For such non-human creatures, the highest priority was naturally to eliminate them. However, after failing the first assassination attempt, it would be hard to find another opportunity like that.
Moreover, this particular specimen seemed to possess a much higher degree of rationality. It likely had no strong attachments or obsessions, which resulted in this peculiar phenomenon—it was an anomaly among its kind.
If he could utilize it slightly, it might yield unexpected results at times. However, clearly, although he had this fellow as bait to lure the target, the organization had a formal Suppressor that it chose to defect from. It was evidently impossible to have complete control over it.
Ordinary specimens couldn't be subdued easily; if he sent his precious Elites over and it turned against them, the losses would be significant.
"How could I possibly forget that fellow?" Heart flashed past a shadow, and Yang Xiaoyou's lips curled into a slight smile.
The obedient one, just recovering from the fear of 'getting injected,' trembled again, nervously clutching a button and nibbling on it.
Moonlight quietly spilled over a construction site waiting to be dismantled, draping the dark, halted area in a layer of silver.
In this rarely visited place, a figure approached the site from afar, stepping on the sandy ground and making a 'crunching' sound.
In this tranquil environment, the sound felt quite out of place. "Hey, what a nice mood you have, even enjoying the moonlight," said the figure who had entered the site, looking up at another silhouette on the roof of a building with a smile. It seemed they wanted to get a little closer.
The voice echoed in the empty space of the construction site.
"Just stay there; don't come any closer." Seeing the visitor wanting to take a few more steps forward, Xiao Yun spoke directly from atop the roof.
"It's inconvenient to talk like this; come down and chat. Or I can come up too," Yang Xiaoyou replied nonchalantly upon hearing the other person's words.
"Let's keep it this way; I'm not brave enough to risk it here." Xiao Yun firmly responded to Yang Xiaoyou's suggestion. After all, they didn't want to go through that experience again; who knew if they'd be so lucky again?
Although aware of the other party's additional force and prepared for it, their own trump card was also exposed.
"Tsk, your injuries are healing pretty quickly; did your leg just grow back?" Noticing the other's caution, Yang Xiaoyou clicked his tongue and then grinned mischievously.
His own body possessed the ability for limb regeneration as well, but not at such speed. If the other had merely reattached some unfortunate soul's leg, that would be one thing; if it was their own regeneration, then he would need to reassess their abilities.
The pair of bat wings behind him already piqued his interest; this creature was indeed fascinating.
"Let's skip all that. Did you bring what I asked for? Hand it over, and I'll turn around and leave. I can also tell you about some recent movements in the organization," Xiao Yun seemed eager to get straight to the point with Yang Xiaoyou.
"Cut it out. I know just as much about the organization as you do. Besides, right now, you're the one who needs something from me, so you better recognize the situation," Yang Xiaoyou said with a nonchalant expression.
"Yes, yes, yes, I need something from you. Once I get what I want, I swear I'll never come back to this city!" Xiao Yun's voice grew increasingly urgent, even breathless.
"Fine, here you go." With that, Yang Xiaoyou tossed a test tube at high speed towards Xiao Yun. Despite the velocity, Xiao Yun caught it steadily, only slightly twitching his nose to confirm that it was indeed what he needed. However, he soon realized that it was much lighter than expected.
"You!"
"This is more than enough. What do you mean by 'you and I'? Am I obligated to help you? If you want to keep this going, find this person and trade using your best skill—information." After tossing a business card-like item toward Xiao Yun, Yang Xiaoyou turned to leave.
The card spun rapidly through the air as it flew toward Xiao Yun.
As he reached the construction site entrance, he glanced back with a wicked grin and said, "Also, if I catch you entering this city again, it won't just be about stopping your supplies."
"No matter where you run to, I'll drag you out."
Although his tone was flat, Xiao Yun felt an inexplicable chill after receiving the card. In that moment, he seemed to see the fiery totemic figure from before in this being who was even less human than himself.
It felt as if they had merged at that instant, echoing the same sentiment.
Watching the departing figure with a mix of emotions and glancing at the card in his hand that bore simple contact information along with the name 'Hank', Xiao Yun sighed.
In contrast to the strict limitations imposed by the organization—aside from not being allowed to set foot in this city—the other party had placed no further restrictions on him. This leniency was far greater than what he had experienced before.
Aside from regular deliveries, he would have relative freedom.
Moreover, his decisive defection from the organization stemmed primarily from knowing the secret of that experimental subject; he had his own escape route.
Now that he had completely offended the organization, facing this fellow who was even more inhuman than himself, it seemed that there was only this one path left to take.
With that thought, Xiao Yun sighed. Well, as long as it was more comfortable than before, that would be enough.
"Hmm? This forum is quite interesting; it seems to have gained some popularity recently." A seemingly refined Middle-Aged White Man sat in front of his computer, looking at the forum with a hint of a smile on his face.
Recently, due to the emergence of new technology at his company, he had been under considerable pressure. He often relied on the health practices of Traditional Chinese Medicine from the Ancient Kingdom to help him cope, and it had always worked well for him.
This new forum was quite active in these aspects. After discovering it by chance, he noticed that most of the participants were at a similar level to him—likely middle-aged individuals starting to pay attention to their health.
There were also a few seasoned practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine who clearly had substantial knowledge.
However, when he encountered a topic that piqued his interest and began to engage frequently, he found himself automatically banned by the forum's system for excessive posting.
This situation left him somewhat speechless and amused. Was he showing off his skills in front of Guan Gong? Although he had been living comfortably for a while now, he came from a technical background and was used to searching for a few backup accounts online just in case.
As he switched over and logged in with his backup account, he was taken aback by the notification that popped up: "Sorry, due to excessive posting, your IP has been banned and will be unbanned in thirteen minutes."
He had clearly switched accounts!
