Chapter 53 Can You Tell That My Sister’s Love for You Is True? [4K]
Under the sincere plea of Luxianbei, the special action team brother who was questioning Yu Jianqiu alongside him, ultimately was still reluctantly left in the small black room.
Then, taking advantage of that special action team brother’s moment of inattention, he ran away, skillfully locking the door behind him after exiting the small black room.
“Click—!”
Hearing the faint sound of the door lock turning, the special action team brother turned to glance at the door, his lips twitching violently.
Turning back to look at Yu Jianqiu, who was obviously still caught up in her excited emotions under the light, their eyes met, and an awkward silence ensued.
The special action team brother thought, “I’ve heard for a long time that this Officer Lu has a quirky style of doing things, but I didn’t expect…”
It was said that in the early days of the Siye Society, agents from various cities were designated codenames based on the zodiac signs. If that tradition had persisted until now, I would be the first to recommend Officer Lu to be the ‘Dog’ codename agent.
What kind of situation am I in, paying the debt for my own flirtations? the special action team brother thought gloomily.
Lost in thought, a sudden wave of dizziness hit him, making him feel as if he were suffering from low bl**d sugar; everything before his eyes went dark, and his body felt weak.
Dust and a faint musty smell floated in the small black room, and vaguely, it seemed like something invisible to the n*ked eye was lingering, dark, murky, and unpleasant, yet utterly inconspicuous.
There was a sound in the air, secretive, strange, almost imperceptible.
Although nothing seemed to have changed in the small black room, the sensory perception had already experienced a tremendous shift.
That feeling was akin to something dirty and invisible entering the room.
In the next moment, the special action team brother suddenly felt a sharp pain in his brain, as if he had been pricked by a needle, and instantly everything went black, with a brief lapse in consciousness.
Then, the heavy dark circles and fatigued expression spread on his face like ink dropped in water.
“Miss Huazhuo, you really overacted just now.”
Huaxie Yu was secretly delighted at her improvised performance that had thrown Luxianbei into disarray, when she suddenly heard the special action team brother say this, and was momentarily stunned, only to regain her composure as her pupils shook violently.
She realized that the man had appeared again, and the member of the Siye Society before her had already been possessed by that man.
d*mn, does he think the Siye Society is his home?
Coming and going as he pleases—who can stop him? Huaxie Yu wondered.
Seeing Huaxie Yu remain silent for a long time, the man added, “In terms of performance, how should I put it, it could be considered overkill.”
“What if it’s overkill?” Huaxie Yu nonchalantly pouted, “As long as it can fool that guy, it’s fine, right?”
The man was silent for a few seconds and silently sighed, “In matters of affection, although Luxianbei lacks experience, it’s really not that easy to deceive him.”
“In any case, you just need to follow the arrangements and not do anything extra. I’ll find a way to clean up after this. You did well, but don’t perform next time!”
After slipping out of the small black room, Luxianbei immediately took out his phone and messaged his emotional consultant, Miss Jumeng, detailing all the information he gathered from the old online lecher and recounting his series of encounters while questioning Yu Jianqiu.
However, Jumeng only replied with, “Wait a moment, I’m in a team fight!”
As a deep game enthusiast, although Luxianbei felt a bit let down that Jumeng was offline at such a critical moment, he could understand Jumeng’s reasoning.
At this moment, Jumeng not replying just meant he was let down alone; if she did reply, it would mean letting four people down.
So, he chose to wait.
In the corridor outside the special action team’s small black room, close to Mudan Street, the afternoon sunlight streamed through the window; it spilled over the winding clear canal in the deep alley, creating glistening ripples.
Luxianbei leaned against the corridor windowsill, quietly waiting for Jumeng to finish her team battle and reply to his message while gazing at the flowing clear canal, lost in thought.
He was indeed shocked by Yu Jianqiu’s reaction, especially since he learned from Lin Yiqi that Yu Jianqiu was a high-level “player.” If what Yu Jianqiu said was truly her innermost thought—although the probability wasn’t high, it wasn’t impossible. After all, there was a fateful red thread between them, Luxianbei thought.
According to Lin Yiqi’s words, Yu Jianqiu had made sufficient preparations to gain his favor, enough to prove just how persistent and fiery her feelings were, as well as how “twisted” they might be.
Luxianbei couldn’t handle such intensity and didn’t like that kind of distortion.
No one in this world truly needs anyone; even a fish can be grilled when it leaves the water.
In Luxianbei’s view, claims like “humans cannot conquer their feelings!” are simply the foolishness of those in love.
Not only can people overcome their feelings, but they can also self-destruct.
It’s very simple; as long as you give up today’s self, you’ve conquered tomorrow’s self!
But if Yu Jianqiu’s earlier reaction came completely from the heart, that would be even more terrifying!
Although the plot was a bit cliché, her acting skills were impressive enough to earn Luxianbei’s admiration; she was indeed the first to do so.
Scary JPG
To be honest, if it weren’t for the fateful red thread, Luxianbei would have long since severely interrogated Yu Jianqiu.
Now, it could be seen as giving face to his father!
A gust of fresh wind blew, bringing the scents of various snacks from the ancient scenic area of Mudan Street, and the flourishing willow branches in early summer swayed gently like a girl’s long hair.
In the wind, a piece of advertisement paper fluttered, crackling, before the wind passed it by silently, settling on the water’s surface of the clear canal, coming into Luxianbei’s view and slowly unfolding to reveal the text on it.
It was a movie promotional advertisement featuring a girl with braided hair wearing black-framed glasses beside a handsome, tall boy, with the caption below that read—”My Mischievous Lover is now showing.”
Luxianbei dully scanned the advertisement page and suddenly noticed the plot summary on the movie promotional advertisement, his brows immediately knit together.
It read: [The story begins with a confession. Huayue is a pure and lively girl. At the high school opening ceremony, she sees Lu Xing delivering a speech for the new students and falls in love at first sight.
As graduation approaches, Huayue finally gathers the courage to confess to the boy she has secretly liked for over two years, only for Lu Xing to rudely reject her in front of everyone, leading to a mortifying social d*ath.
Huayue thought everything would end once she got into college, little did she know it was just the beginning, as Lu Xing’s endless pranks awaited her in college.]
Luxianbei, “Ridiculous! Such a ‘I can do it too’ money-laundering trash movie actually made it to theaters? The plot is peeved!”
Just as he quietly complained in his heart, his phone vibrated. It was a message from Jumeng.
Stinky Sister: “I’ve read all the messages you sent!”
Luxianbei: “You finished reading? So, what do you think about this?”
Stinky Sister: “Isn’t it simple? Tomorrow, I’ll go to school with you and secretly observe that girl to find out if she’s lying.”
Luxianbei: “Just that simple?”
Stinky Sister: “Dog thing, I think you don’t respect me! Your sister is the only serious deity of love within Z Country; can’t you tell if it’s true love?”
Luxianbei: “Really? How can you tell? Can you teach me?”
Stinky Sister: “You can forget about it; that’s a unique skill of yours truly, and you can’t learn it!”
Luxianbei: “Why can’t I learn it? You teach me first!”
I’ve been able to master my ancestors’ complex swordsmanship and spell formulas; this skill surely can’t be hard.
Stinky Sister: “It’s simple. For example, can you tell if my love for you is true?”
Luxianbei: “??? Not at all.
Stinky Sister: “Then can you tell if I really like playing games?”
Luxianbei frowned, recalling Jumeng’s radiant look, slightly flushed face, and heavy breathing whenever she picked up a new game, with the corners of her mouth unconsciously lifting, even her pink toes bouncing with excitement. He nodded thoughtfully.
He could tell she truly loved games, but she was indeed quite bad at them.
Being awful yet obsessed was exactly what Jumeng was like.
Luxianbei: “I understand. If someone really loves another, they’ll act like you do when you see a new game, right? Isn’t that simple? But listening to you, I can’t help but think Yu Jianqiu is true love?”
Stinky Sister: “This child is hopeless JPG] See, that’s why you will never learn!”
Luxianbei, “???”
Did I get it wrong? Where did it go wrong?
Just as he pondered, the door to the small black room behind him opened, and the special action team brother came out and approached him.
“Officer Lu, the matter regarding Miss Yu has been taken care of. We’ve already sent someone to take her back.”
Luxianbei looked at the special action team brother and tilted his head. “Oh? She didn’t say anything, right?”
The special action team brother hesitated.
“Say what?” Luxianbei pressed.
“She said she wouldn’t give up, even if you escape to the ends of the earth, she wouldn’t let you go,” the special action team brother said with a strange look.
Luxianbei, “…”
Although, this still sounds like she’s planning to get back at me, which is a bit unsettling.
“Alright!” Luxianbei collected his thoughts and nodded. “Since it has been handled for now, I’ll take my leave.”
Seeing Luxianbei taking a step, the special action team brother quickly followed him with a few strides. “Officer Lu, let me see you out.”
“Okay.” Luxianbei nodded.
So, the two walked shoulder to shoulder down the corridor.
“Lu…”
“Hmm?”
“Actually, I think Miss Yu isn’t bad. If it comes to it, why not give her a try? After all, you won’t lose anything.”
What’s going on, bro? Have you been turned so soon? Luxianbei frowned at the special action team brother, intending to say something when he suddenly noticed his weary demeanor and heavy dark circles, slightly stunned.
“Bro, haven’t you been resting lately? Your mental state doesn’t seem good!”
Earlier in the dim small black room, he hadn’t noticed how bad the special action team brother’s condition was.
The special action team brother paused for two seconds, with a heavy and pained expression, offering Luxianbei a convincing answer.
“It’s a long story, but to sum it up briefly, my family member has recently planned to respond to the national call for—”
Luxianbei’s lips moved, wanting to say something several times, finally patting the special action team brother’s shoulder, he said earnestly, “I understand! But take care of yourself! I know a friend who specializes in that kind of medicine, I’ll help you get some later.”
Recently, the strange tales in the apartment had concocted a type of medication that was said to be effective, Luxianbei thought to himself.
“Thanks.” The special action team brother replied.
“Thank you, thank you!” While speaking, Luxianbei glanced at the front door. “Since you’ve worked so hard, let’s leave it here for now?”
Hearing this, the special action team brother nodded. “Okay, take care.”
With that, he stood still, watching Luxianbei’s back until it disappeared from view.
Then a wave of dizziness washed over him, and the fatigue and heavy dark circles that had settled on his face quietly faded away.
When he came to his senses again and looked at the empty corridor, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
“How did I… end up here? I’m not supposed to—” he muttered to himself, turning to look at the direction of the small black room, frowning.
Following that, he tried hard to recall what had happened earlier, and a vague memory emerged in his mind.
He vaguely remembered coming out of the small black room and sending off Luxianbei; as for the rest, he couldn’t recall anything at all.
It felt like after a drunken blackout.
The special action team brother,
This is bad! Have I started to lose my mind?
I need to discuss with my wife to slow down the plan for making a baby a bit; this time, I’m really going to be drained.
If this continues, if I encounter any tasks, I might have to sacrifice myself heroically.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
In the Barents Sea, near the Svalbard Islands, on a bizarre island covered in gray giant trees that most humans had never set foot on and had never imagined, within a low, dilapidated small wooden house.
Inside the cramped space, the kindling crackled, flames flickering in the fireplace, casting light on the assortment of white bones and fossils displayed on the surrounding shelves.
Those fossils and bones included some from Devonian cephalopods and bivalve species, skulls of Jurassic dinosaurs, Pleistocene mammal tusks, and various modern biological skeletons.
It was as if this place were a graveyard for animals that began during the primordial era.
Under the firelight, a plain-looking middle-aged man with his eyes tightly closed suddenly had a swirl of pitch-black flame erupt from his brow, then he slowly opened his eyes, fixing his gaze on the nine figures hidden in the shadows before him, uncertain if they could still be called human.
“Elders, I apologize for my fatigue from the journey; I couldn’t help but take a short rest. I hope you don’t mind.”
As soon as the words fell, a horrifying spirit energy fluctuation spread out, enveloping the entire island.
In an instant, silence fell in the small house, with no one daring to voice a word of doubt.
