Chapter 177 - 151 Armor Transformation (1 more, ask for monthly ticket!)_2

As Wu Ruqiang’s fierce and cold gaze shifted towards the surrounding people, Fang Yu hastily stepped forward to grasp her sword-wielding right hand.

Wu Ruqiang was taken aback, a faint blush rose on her cheeks as she whispered.

"Look at the situation, not here! I’ll let you know at the end of the month."

Are you out of your mind, the end of the month?!

If you put that sword down, everyone but me is dead!

Even I can’t be sure I can escape.

Of course, Fang Yu couldn’t say this openly.

All he did was press his voice low and said deeply.

"I lead this mission; if there’s violence to be done, let me handle it, so we don’t waste your credit."

Wu Ruqiang immediately looked at Fang Yu, her eyes brimming with emotion as she quietly sheathed her sword and stepped back two paces.

Looking every bit the part where the man takes charge and the woman follows.

Uninformed bystanders would think they are some Foolish Underworld married couple.

Despicable lovebirds!

For a moment, the same three words flashed through everyone’s minds.

At this time, Fang Yu, under Wu Ruqiang’s puzzled gaze, helped Miao Yueyuan up from the ground.

"Manager Miao, you’ve been frightened. We’ve come from the Foolish Underworld to investigate some matters."

"It’s not a big issue, no one will lose their lives, just a simple questioning and we’ll leave afterward."

Miao Yueyuan was like someone who had just escaped from the Ghost Gate, her eyes filled with fear and her body trembling with great acting.

"What should I call the manager?" Fang Yu gently asked.

"Miao, Miao Yueyuan."

"So, you are Manager Miao. Is the Ronghua Dyeing Factory running smoothly these days, and has anything happened recently?"

Miao Yueyuan seemed to regain her composure, cautiously answering each question.

"The Ronghua Dyeing Factory has always operated well and has no bad debts. If the officer wants, I can show you our accounts right now."

"Nothing happened recently... Maybe there’s some misunderstanding?"

Miao Yueyuan’s answers were good, but Fang Yu didn’t listen with intent.

He was simply using this conversation as a pretext.

"Ah, I see. That must be an error in our information. This time, I will casually chat with a few people and if there are no issues, we will withdraw."

"Do you see that as all right, Manager Miao?"

Fang Yu’s voice was soft, carrying a soothing tone.

Miao Yueyuan, frail and compliant, nodded her head.

"Entirely at the officer’s disposal."

The two clicked instantly.

An all-around harmonious scene like ’you’re good, I’m good’.

Miss Wu, standing aside, already had a very ugly expression on her face.

She was contemplating whether or not to cancel Fang Yu’s Sunday slot.

Then she heard Fang Yu say.

"Miss Wu, you take that side, I’ll take this side."

"Just a random check of these dozen people, and it should suffice."

Wu Ruqiang snorted coldly.

She walked in, immediately pulled out anyone she disliked, put the sword to their neck, and started asking for their name, age, family background, past experiences, and so on.

This crude, simple method made Fang Yu shake his head.

Other lackeys were responsible for maintaining order and deterring the onlookers.

Fang Yu noticed Miao Yueyuan clasping her hands together, looking a bit nervous and uneasy.

He felt confused.

Shouldn’t you be displaying a more natural expression at this time in line with the current situation?

Could it be that she was actually a bit nervous?

Impossible, other than me, who else in the team could tell that you are harboring a demon inside?

As long as I keep quiet, they’re all blind, guaranteed to let you slip through.

With this in mind, Fang Yu also casually pulled someone out of the group.

[Shen Xinwen: 585/585.]

Hmm, a 500 Experience Points Blood Demon.

Hehe!

Out of these dozen or so, four demons are hiding.

A demon was bound to be caught for questioning.

Later, I’ll take this guy back, lock him up in the Prison for a few days, and hand him over to Ding Huijia.

Fang Yu had already thought of a reason; if nothing turns up, forcibly detaining someone for a couple of days because the upper echelons were pressing hard, it’s unavoidable!

Even if Miao Yueyuan is dissatisfied, could she afford to fall out with me? The reason is solid enough, unless she’s ready to ditch this human skin and go on a killing spree.

Otherwise, she still has to swallow this bitter pill.

"Name." Fang Yu asked.

"Shen Xinwen." came the reply.

"Age."

"22."

"..."

Fang Yu suddenly fell silent.

Why, a strange sense of familiarity hit him.

So strong was this déjà vu.

It felt as if time had circled back, only this time, he became the one asking the questions.

This feeling, not bad!

Fang Yu chuckled.

"Don’t be nervous, just a casual question, it will be over quickly."

Under the scorching sun, sweat beads formed on everyone’s foreheads.

Fang Yu felt something wasn’t right when suddenly, in the crowd standing in the back as punishment, something seemed to flash by.

Looking up in astonishment, Fang Yu’s eyes widened instantly.

He saw in the standing crowd, a Thousand Blood Demon called [Rong Huaizhu] who, as if having a brain spasm, kept tilting her head oddly.

At the same time, strands of red vapor began to emanate from his head!

This red vapor, Fang Yu had seen before.

And only once!

That was at the very beginning of the game, when he was fighting side by side with Li Qianxuan against the [Hidden Light Demon]. It suddenly entered a berserk state during its dying phase.

At that time, the [Hidden Light Demon] emitted this sort of red vapor!

What the hell?

What does this mean?

I was about to let you guys off the hook, about to wrap this up perfectly, and you decide to go berserk on me?

What kind of freak are you?! How can you just suddenly go berserk?? Why?!?

Fang Yu was frantic, about to do something...

Bang!!!

Blood Mist exploded amidst the group of people being punished.

His heart skipped a beat.

Fang Yu hastily drew his sword.

With one strike, he decapitated Shen Xinwen, who was an arm’s reach away.

Shiiing!!

The head flew off, blood sprayed.

-300!

[Shen Xinwen: 285/585.]

As confusion just began to spread among the punishment crowd and Shen Xinwen’s headless body was still in shock...

Fang Yu proceeded to sever the two arms of the headless corpse!

Shiiing shiiing!

-100!

-100!

[Shen Xinwen: 85/585.]

Bang!!

Only then did the headless body explode into Blood Mist.

While the shadow was still expanding within the Blood Mist, Fang Yu had already unleashed three sword strikes.

-45!

-38!

-2!

[River Nymph: 0/585.]

[System Prompt: Congratulations Player for killing [River Nymph], earned 200 Experience Points!]

[System Prompt: Experience Points breakthrough 100, totaling conversion to 2 attribute points.]

Blood splattered on Fang Yu’s face.

The demon itself didn’t even get a chance to show its form before being slain by Fang Yu.

"Ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhh!!"

"What is that thing?!"

"Rong Huaizhu, Rong Huaizhu exploded! Shattered to pieces!!!"

"It’s a demon, a demon!!"

Only then did the crowd react, screaming out loud.

The scene suddenly descended into chaos, with the onlookers running scared.

Some people noticed that Blood Mist had also exploded where Fang Yu was, but before they could say anything, a figure had already rushed out of the Blood Mist.

"Ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhh!!"

Miao Yueyuan fell to the ground in fright.

The figure emerging from the Blood Mist was none other than Fang Yu himself, scooping up Miao Yueyuan by the waist.

This scene was precisely witnessed by Wu Ruqiang, who also recognized who the figure was.

At that moment, her heart decided to definitively cancel this person’s end-of-month slot.

As if out of annoyance, she let out a loud roar and charged into the Blood Mist, moving against the fleeing crowd, resolved to fight to the death with the demon.

This is the mission of the Foolish Underworld, as well as their duty!

When facing a demon, others may flee, but the people of the Foolish Underworld cannot!

Fight! Only to fight!

Either the demon dies, or they die!

Not only Wu Ruqiang felt this way, but the other team members had also drawn their swords and charged into the Blood Mist.

Only Fang Yu, after picking up Miao Yueyuan, pushed off with his feet, retreating explosively backward, widening the distance.

"Don’t be afraid, I’m here."

In the chaos, Fang Yu spoke gently.

Miao Yueyuan’s face showed gratitude, tears in her eyes.

"My lord..."

She had barely spoken.

Whoom!!

The sound of a sword humming suddenly exploded by her ear.

Before she could even catch a glimpse of the sword light, Miao Yueyuan’s head flew off!

-1000!

[Miao Yueyuan: 2555/3555.]

"Ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhh!!"

A sharp, piercing scream burst from the headless body, like a demonic noise hammering at the ears, causing Fang Yu’s eardrums to throb in pain, and his movements to unavoidably hesitate.

In the next instant, a jade hand covered his face.

Bang!!

Blood Mist exploded.

With his face being clutched, Fang Yu’s view was forcibly elevated as [Miao Yueyuan]’s body swelled within the Blood Mist.

Fang Yu instinctively swung his sword, only to find it stuck a few inches into the demon skin and then held fast.

His face went pale.

"Armorize!!"
