Chapter 151 Chen Yu, Do You Like Him?

Forty meters.

Thirty meters.

Twenty meters.

Lin Yue glanced back, the corners of her mouth curling up, her eyes filled with excitement.

Her speed could be said to be not inferior at all to a common speed Awakened.

This was the confidence of an SSS-rank.

As long as it was developed properly, it could almost comprehensively crush ordinary Awakened.

With every tap of her toes on the ground, crystals would surge from beneath her feet, pushing her forward.

But the dark shadow behind her was even faster!!!

Fifteen meters.

Ten meters.

Five meters.

Chen Yu's hand could already touch her flying strands of hair—

"Bang!"

A corpse fell from the sky, smashing down between the two of them!

Chen Yu instinctively dodged to the side, his speed momentarily stalling!

Lin Yue took the opportunity to pull away by several more meters...

Chen Yu narrowed his eyes and looked up!

Upstairs, several windows were wide open!

On the windowsills, several figures could be faintly seen...

No, not figures...

They were corpses!

"Bang!"

Another corpse smashed down.

Chen Yu dodged again.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

One after another, they fell from different heights and directions, like a downpour of corpses.

Some hit the ground, becoming a bloody mess.

Some hit the walls, their limbs twisted.

Some fell almost brushing past the tip of Chen Yu's nose, bringing a gust of wind smelling of blood.

Chen Yu's speed was slowed down...

Although he could dodge every single one, every dodge was a pause.

Every pause,

Lin Yue would run ahead a bit further.

Twenty meters.

Thirty meters.

Forty meters.

The distance widened again.

The onlookers were already dumbfounded.

"Those... those are..."

"Dead people! They're dead people! Thrown from upstairs!"

"Holy shit! How many people are there?!"

"Is that woman crazy?! Using corpses to block the murderer?!"

"The key is... where did those corpses come from?!"

"She put them there in advance! They must have been placed there beforehand!"

Chen Yu didn't care about any of that.

He dodged another corpse and exerted force with his feet again.

"Bang!"

The ground shattered, and he shot out like a cannonball.

Lin Yue looked back and saw this, then raised her hand and made a heart gesture at Chen Yu!

Immediately after...

More corpses fell from above!

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

Dense like raindrops.

Chen Yu's figure weaved through the rain of corpses, dodging and shifting, his speed slowed down once more.

Eventually, he simply stopped dodging; if he got hit, he got hit—so be it if it was bad luck.

He practically charged straight through, rushing toward Lin Yue.

Thirty meters.

Twenty meters.

Close again.

The onlookers were already numb; inside the buildings of District B, heads were popping out everywhere, which was rare.

Everyone held their breath, staring at the two figures—one chasing, one fleeing—below.

Pictures and messages were being frantically posted into the regional chat.

[Li Mingyuan: Image]

[Li Mingyuan: Close again! Close again!]

[Sun Xiaomei: Who is that woman?! How can she run so fast?!]

[Zhao Dalong: It's not that she's fast! It's because there are crystals under her feet! She's using them for leverage with every step!]

[Zhou Xiaoya: The murderer is even faster, okay! Look at where he steps, the ground is cracking!]

[Liu Meina: Image]

[Liu Meina: Farther again]

[Feng Xiaobao: I could watch this chase all day!]

[Han Meimei: More corpses are falling from the building!]

[Zhou Qiang: Holy crap! Really! One, two, three!]

[Lin Xiaolu: She put those there in advance?! How many people did this woman kill?!]

[Guo Jingyu: Using corpses to block the murderer, is she a fucking genius or a lunatic?!]

Villa Number One.

In the living room, several girls huddled together, staring at their respective regional chat windows.

Wang Mengmeng's eyes were wide open. "Quick! Go, Brother Chen Yu! He's about to catch up!"

As she spoke, she gestured with her hands, nearly hitting Li Mengyao next to her.

Li Mengyao dodged to the side. "Hey, you look like you're watching a horse race..."

Wang Mengmeng paused. "Do I? Isn't this way more interesting than a horse race?"

Li Mengyao opened her mouth, but found herself unable to refute it.

Zhang Wanyue stared at the chat window, flipping through the pictures one by one, her brow furrowing deeper.

"I never realized Lin Yue was so clever before, how did I not notice?"

Wang Mengmeng frowned. "Clever? Isn't she just hiding corpses upstairs in advance?"

Zhang Wanyue shook her head.

"It's not that simple."

"Look at the one Liu Meina sent."

"The view of the upper floors is clearer."

Wang Mengmeng scrolled up.

In the picture, a corpse had just fallen from the building and was suspended in mid-air.

The angle of the snapshot... allowed one to clearly see fine glimmers beneath the corpse.

"What's this?"

Wang Mengmeng narrowed her eyes.

"Crystals."

Zhang Wanyue said, "Under every corpse, there are crystals."

She swiped to the next one.

Another corpse, another angle, the same fine glimmers.

The next one.

And the next.

Every single one was the same.

Wang Mengmeng suddenly realized. "So...!!! She was holding the corpses up with crystals and then retracting them... so the corpses would fall?! My god, this ability is way too insane..."

Zhang Wanyue shook her head and sighed with emotion. "Yeah, to be able to make them deactivate in sequence... the control over this Talent is just too exaggerated."

Shen Qingci nodded beside her. "And every single one falls right on the path Chen Yu is taking to chase her, each one slowing him down. These... must have been planned in advance."

Zhang Wanyue rubbed her chin. "But... there's one thing I can't figure out."

Wang Mengmeng: "What thing?"

Zhang Wanyue spoke truthfully. "If it's to block Chen Yu's path, wouldn't it be better to place stones or other more dangerous things in advance?"

Hearing this, the girls fell into a brief silence.

...

...

"Chen Yu—"

Her voice drifted from ahead as she looked back.

In her large, round eyes, there was nothing but Chen Yu's reflection.

"You know, those corpses are gifts for you~"

The two of them, one chasing and one fleeing, had already rushed out of the streets of District B and through the abandoned shops!

They even... vaulted over the low perimeter walls, heading all the way east—

Even the ground beneath their feet...

The gravel road turned into concrete, and the concrete turned into a dirt path.

With no more corpses blocking the way, Chen Yu stared intently at the back of the figure ahead, closing the distance step by step.

"Chen Yu?"

"Do you like them?"

"Those gifts."

Ahead, Lin Yue's voice drifted into his ears along with the wind...
