After eleven in the North Sea, the stars dotted the sky, a night breeze rustled through the mulberry leaves, the temperature was most comfortable this season.
A number of residents in the Tai Bo District gathered within the community, each looking up and discussing.
"Was it really not an earthquake?"
"Damn, I don’t know, I was just about to take a nice bath, suddenly felt the ceiling shake a few tis, I rushed downstairs quickly."
"Alright, buddy, you’re not bad, I was even getting ready to enjoy a first-person shooter on so small website when suddenly the building shook, and my invincible little brother just dashed off!"
They were all residents of Building 3, staying at ho comfortably, but the commotion from the fighting between Su Tu and Kashashitsu earlier was too loud, causing residents from the upper and lower floors to think there was an earthquake, and they rushed out in a panic.
"It doesn’t feel like an earthquake, I think the noise ca from our upstairs." A resident from the 21st floor spoke with a frown.
An older lady craned her neck, looking upwards relentlessly, "Look, outside the window on the 22nd floor, is there soone floating?"
"What nonsense are you talking about, do you think this is a movie shooting outside the 22nd-floor window... Oh my god!!!"
The crowd turned to look as they heard the ntion, and their expressions imdiately transford with shock because, outside the 22nd-floor window, there were indeed a few figures stepping in mid-air.
As they were stunned by this scene and wanted to record it on their phones,
a sudden inexplicable feeling of dizziness surged over them, and the next second, they looked at each other with slightly bewildered eyes.
" There was no earthquake, let’s go back!"
"Geez, I guess soone was just at a dance party causing such a commotion!"
"I’m exhausted, I need to find one of those episodes later to soothe my little buddy!"
The group seed to completely forget about the scene they just witnessed, complaining as they walked back into the building.
Chen Yuan stood by the window on the 22nd floor, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, looking at the dispersing crowd below scornfully.
"What a gullible group of bumpkins, just a little bit of the power of the heart and spirit can obscure their cognition."
He leaned half of his body against the window, spoke as he looked at the ssy room inside: "Li Hu, you’re not being considerate, we’re supposed to go on a mission together, you solved it by yourself, what about us?"
Li Hu sat carelessly on the coffee table, his tiger eyes didn’t even glance at Chen Yuan, speaking in a deep voice: "Is that what you all think, too?"
"I didn’t say anything." One team mber shrugged, while the others remained silent yet seed to agree, since nobody was stupid enough; Chen Yuan wanting to snatch the credit and offend the obstinate Li Hu, they’d rather not do soone’s bidding for re achievents.
"Alright, alright! Now tell , how should we write up this task report then?" Chen Yuan, with dark circles under his eyes, seed sowhat unkind.
He had originally planned to stall, letting that ’beast’ kill more people so he could intervene to suppress it for more credit.
But when they arrived at the mission site, Li Hu was casually sitting by the window, holding the dismbered body of the Xie Race’s creature in his hand.
Logically, tasks like these, whoever resolved it, credit usually was shared with everyone to enhance their resu, but damn it, Li Hu was a stubborn guy who wouldn’t spare him a bit of the credit.
"What is there to write, I found a Xie Race invader on Ancestor Star, its vitality was weak, hadn’t enshrined many bodies, I killed it at 10:21 PM in Tai Bo District, just write it like that honestly!"
Li Hu said casually, his eyes suddenly deepening, carrying an overwhelming pressure like the Mountain Monarch opening his eyes, "If any other nas appear on the report, I’ll make sure you regret it!"
"You!!!" Chen Yuan’s gaze was venomous, wasn’t this guy practically calling him out by cursing with other nas?
But as for Chen Yuan’s stare, Li Hu was completely indifferent.
Instead, he looked down, playing with the broken Xie Race shell, a hint of amusent in his eyes.
"Damn it, my little junior brother is impressive, this is the Xie Race, whose vexatious nature is renowned across the Star River,
and looking at the aura on the shell, it seems the vitality had recovered to Entry Tier’s peak, but he managed to take down this Xie Race, amazing!! Not disappointing for my junior brother!"
Then he slight glanced over Chen Yuan.
"I don’t want my little junior brother to be entangled by idiots right now."
Just monts ago, upon arriving at the scene, Li Hu imdiately assessed the situation; the Entry Tier taking down an Entry Tier peak was too sensational, likely provoking inquiries and harassnt from idiots like Chen Yuan.
Li Hu knew this guy’s sche far too well, and if he knew of the junior brother’s talent, it would definitely bring about a lot of turmoil later on.
However, Li Hu did not make any arbitrary decisions under the guise of what’s best for him but rather communicated the situation with Su Tu, allowing him to decide for himself.
Although Su Tu wasn’t afraid of trouble, honestly speaking, he wasn’t eager to get entangled with the idiot ntioned by Li Hu, so the two agreed that Su Tu would leave first, leaving the rest to Li Hu.
"All credit belongs solely to my junior brother, no one else should even think about taking a piece of the reward!!" Li Hu thought so viciously, his gaze nacing, devoid of the usual honest look Su Tu saw.
At this mont, Su Tu was already back ho.
He reheated the food, and he and Zhang ng sat at the dining table.
At this mont, Zhang ng still seed a bit out of it.
"Xiao Tu... What on earth happened?" She stared at the food on the table, having no appetite at all.
Earlier, when Su Tu was fighting with Kashashitsu, fearing she might get caught by Kashashitsu to threaten Su Tu, she ran out, but before calling the Public Security Bureau, soone suddenly barged into her ho from the sky.
Later, Su Tu took her away.
The series of events tonight were too many and chaotic; first, a monster appeared in her ho, then Xiao Tu jumped in through the window to fight it.
When did you all evolve into superheroes? How did you leave out of it??
Seeing Zhang ng’s expression, Su Tu found it sowhat amusing.
He slightly arched his lips into what seed like a smile of a neighborhood boy, no trace of the intense, cold deanor from the fight.
"Let’s eat, Sister Zhang, these are all dishes you like."
"Xiao Tu, did I just have a dream earlier?" Zhang ng said seriously.
Su Tu didn’t speak, but placed a portion of sweet and sour pork in her bowl.
Zhang ng was bright; she could sense that she had brushed against an unfamiliar world, dangerous, horrifying, where a slight mistake could render her worse off than dead, like the girls on vines.
That’s why she claid to have just dreamt; this statent allowed her to treat everything earlier like a dream, that nothing happened.
She was acutely aware of how helpless an ordinary person was in the eerie scene earlier and acknowledged that her younger brother Xiao Tu stepped into that world, but she could only act as though knowing nothing, since beyond being a liability to him, she could do nothing more.
The dinner table was silent, sowhat gloomy, the two dividing duties clearly, Su Tu cooking and Zhang ng naturally washing the dishes.
After tidying up, Su Tu brought out a new set of bedding and laid it in the bedroom, speaking to Zhang ng:
"Sister Zhang, you can sleep in my room tonight; I’ll sleep in my parents’ room."
Zhang ng still appeared sowhat vacant, the earlier events had an overwhelming impact on him.
But teasing Su Tu seed like an instinctual behavior, looking at Su Tu carrying the bedding, she blurted out:
"What? Are you finally revealing your true form, impatient to ruin ?"
"No!! Don’t!! Don’t!!" Zhang ng exaggeratedly shouted, while revealing her shoulders, her wicked pair faintly visible.
"I can completely resist." Su Tu said expressionlessly.
"No, you can’t resist!!"
Zhang ng playfully lunged at Su Tu, but missed, with Su Tu stuffing a pillow into her arms; after so playful tussling, Su Tu headed to his parents’ bedroom.
Lying on the bed, a glimr of anticipation erged in his eyes.
"Got so new goodies this ti..."
The system’s settlent panel appeared before him, displaying slowly.
