Chapter 5 Something's Wrong with Yu Xun

"Hey? Ah Le, what are you doing? It's the weekend, first thing in the morning, can't a person get some sleep?!"

On the other end of the phone, Yu Xun's voice was low and tired, as if he hadn't slept well the night before, and his tone was somewhat impatient.

"We met up at Old Wang's house an hour later."

"Hmm... Old Wang... Oh, I almost forgot about that!"

On Yu Xun's end, there was a hurried and flustered sound at first, then it quickly quieted down.

After about half a minute of silence, Yu Xun spoke again, his tone much calmer.

"Ah Le, oh... um, I still have to work overtime for the company. I haven't finished my project, and my supervisor is pressuring me. How about... today..."

Chi Le hung up the phone decisively.

As always, Yu Xun messes things up at crucial moments.

After changing her clothes, Chi Le walked out of the room.

After the morning rush hour, there were far fewer people on the streets.

Standing at a crossroads with only a few people around, looking in the three directions of front, left, and right, Chi Le hesitated.

Is that the way to Old Wang's house?

"I remember it was...this way."

Chi Le looked at the road to her right, which seemed very familiar.

"No, on the way to Old Wang's house, there seems to be a street lamp on the right that's missing half a solar panel?"

The more Chi Le looked, the more he felt that any direction was possible. Unable to recall the exact direction, he finally decided to use forbidden power.

Chi Le opened his phone's navigation app and his fingers hovered over the keyboard.

An even more serious problem has emerged.

Where exactly is Old Wang's house?

After typing several possible locations and deleting them, Chi Le frowned, tapping his thumb erratically with his index finger, trying hard to recall Old Wang's address.

Old Wang has only been to the house he rented a few times, the most recent time being about half a year ago.

Moreover, Lao Wang's residence is quite a distance from his rented house, and he has to rely on transportation for most of the journey.

I find it troublesome and rarely go to Old Wang's house, and I'm too lazy to keep track of it.

The previous times I visited Lao Wang's house, it was Yu Xun who took me there.

It's normal not to remember where Old Wang's house is.

Having failed to use forbidden power, Chi Le had no choice but to call Yu Xun again.

beep……

beep……

The mechanical ringing echoed rhythmically in my ears.

"Hey, Ah Le?"

Not long after, the call was connected, and Yu Xun's voice came through.

Do you remember Old Wang's address?

"Of course! Who am I? I don't have kidney deficiency, so why would my memory be bad? I know Old Wang's place well, and I even know a small alleyway, it's right there..."

There was silence on the other end of the phone, as if someone was trying to search their memory.

"Hmm, wait a minute, let me think."

After a while, Chi Le's phone received a new message.

It was a chat log forwarded by Yu Xun, which contained the specific address of Lao Wang's house.

At the same time, Yu Xun's voice came through the phone again.

"This is it, you see, I told you, I don't have a kidney..."

Before Yu Xun could finish speaking, Chi Le hung up the phone again.

He didn't want to pay any attention to the last half of Yu Xun's sentence that he hadn't finished saying.

The more someone emphasizes something, the more they are trying to hide something.

"I know too little about the strange world right now. Old Wang is the only person I've met so far who might have also traveled to the strange world."

"Go to Old Wang's house, see what the situation is like, and see if we can get more information."

Following the address sent by Yu Xun, Chi Le quickly figured out the direction and headed towards Old Wang's house.

……

Meanwhile, Yu Xun, whose call had been disconnected, shrugged helplessly.

He spoke to the man who was lounging lazily on the sofa in a Ge You-style reclining position, wearing a simple black short-sleeved shirt.

"Is that alright?"

"So, the place I traveled to last night was a bizarre world inhabited by evil spirits and demons?"

"Hmm, how was it last night?"

The man in the short-sleeved shirt had a look on his face as if he were watching a joke.

"The hem of my clothes is slightly dirty, it's not difficult."

Yu Xun flicked his clothes, dragged out a chair, and sat down opposite his older brother, who was wearing a black short-sleeved shirt.

The man in the black short-sleeved shirt sneered, clearly not believing it.

Yu Ying, Yu Xun's older brother, knows best what Yu Xun's strength is.

The facts were just as I had guessed.

Just last night, Yu Xun transmigrated into the bizarre world that Chi Le had transmigrated into.

And they encountered a small white dog that was small in size and resembled an ordinary domestic dog.

She looks obedient and cute, posing no threat whatsoever, yet she dares to bare her teeth at him.

Fueled by alcohol, Yu Xun was unaware that he had transmigrated and was in a completely different situation.

We're ready to roll up our sleeves and compete with them.

It dared to bare its teeth at me; today I'll teach it a lesson in the Yu-style Chaotic Cloak Fist!

The results are obvious.

Yu Xun, who was sobered up a bit by the gray dog's paw, scrambled to avoid the little white dog's leaping bite.

Once Yu Xun regained his senses, he was shocked to realize that he was surrounded by a strange environment shrouded in thick fog.

Where the hell did I get this?

Is this still in China?

The white dog didn't care about Yu Xun, who was still in a daze.

It opened its mouth and pounced again, ready to tear a piece of flesh from Yu Xun's body.

I don't know if it was good luck, or just good luck, or really good luck.

Yu Xun suddenly found a dagger beside him.

Lying on the ground with nowhere to hide, Yu Xun had no choice but to raise his short knife as the white dog pounced on him...

Yu Xun, who almost died at the very beginning, dealt with the white dog in a bizarre way and safely left the strange world.

"Brother, can't we really tell Ah Le about what happened last night?"

Yu Xun toyed with the short knife in his hand.

When he opened his eyes again, he was holding the short knife in his hand; it was something he had brought out from the strange world.

Seeing the brown bloodstains on the knife, I suddenly felt a chill.

The scene of last night, with its scalding hot intestines and entrails covered in a stench, flashed before my eyes.

Yu Ying waved his hand.

"Official regulations prohibit publicizing it."

"Besides, what's there to say? The more you know, the easier it is to fall into that hellish world."

"You should know that once you fall into this bizarre world, you'll be transported back to it one to three times a week."

"They're doing just fine in this world, why drag them down with you?"

"Besides, the bizarre world isn't a good place; it's a place where you can risk your life! You can run into man-eating ghosts just by taking a couple of steps."

"Take the knife you brought from that strange world. Come with me to the Special Affairs Bureau this afternoon. From now on, you'll work under me."

Upon hearing Yu Ying's words, Yu Xun sheathed his dagger and asked with a sly grin.

"Brother, you're a junior leader in the Special Affairs Bureau now, could you get me some good stuff?"

Yu Ying didn't tolerate it either, and with a slap that left a trail of afterimages, landed on Yu Xun's head.

"Dream on!"

"The Special Affairs Bureau's exploration of the bizarre world isn't that deep yet, so how could I possibly get so many good things?"

"but……"

Yu Yingshou paused for a moment, then tapped Yu Xun on the head again.

"There are a few methods for cultivating extraordinary powers."

Yu Xun, who had been covering his head, suddenly brightened up.

"extraordinary?"

"That's right, it's the kind of extraordinary power you're thinking of."

"I'd go through fire and water for you, Brother Ying!"

Yu Xun's face first lit up with ecstatic joy, but then quickly fell apart, and finally he sighed.

It's not that I feel powerless about the dangerous future I'll be navigating in this treacherous world.

But the thought that Old Wang might have also transmigrated into a strange world made her feel uneasy.

However, he had mentioned Lao Wang's situation to Yu Ying.

Yu Ying stated that he has already arranged for colleagues from the Special Affairs Bureau to investigate.

Waiting for the results is the only thing he can do now.

Yu Xun quickly composed himself and a smile appeared on his face.

Time travel allows you to cultivate extraordinary powers!

I also really want to share with you how we brothers can achieve extraordinary things together!

But there's nothing I can do, Ah Le, that's the rule.

However, I will keep my extraordinary powers hidden and act as a friend who is just an ordinary person in front of you!

They would never fly into the sky or dive into the earth, breathe fire or water, or control lightning in front of you!

Yu Xun sighed heavily again, but couldn't suppress a smile.

I promise I won't!
