Chapter 328 Chasing Lin Yuan
"That is true..."
Zuo Shi nodded secretly.
Flyer, on the other hand, perked up when he heard Chen Yu say they needed to rest.
He spoke seriously: "Brother Chen Yu, there is an employee lounge nearby. Our convoy used to rest there. It's right behind the Ferris Wheel, and there are several beds inside!"
He paused and said earnestly: "You guys handle the sleeping, and I'll handle the watch. There won't be any problems tonight."
Chen Yu nodded: "Mm, lead the way."
Flyer quickly took strides and walked in front: "This way, follow me..."
Not long after, a dusty little bungalow appeared behind the Ferris Wheel.
Most of the wall plaster had peeled off, revealing the dark red bricks underneath. One pane of Glass was broken and patched with cardboard.
Flyer reached out and pushed; the door creaked open.
It was cleaner than expected. Inside the entrance was a small vestibule with a bench against the wall.
On the left was a half-open wooden door, leading to a large room with three iron-frame beds against the wall.
Flyer stood at the doorway without going in.
He took the speaker out from his arms, placed it by the doorway, and looked at Chen Yu and the others.
"Um... Brother Chen Yu, Big Sisters, I'll keep watch here. You guys should get some sleep; it's already late."
After Flyer finished speaking, he went to tinker with the speaker—
"Brother, you sleep!"
"I'll keep watch until dawn!"
"No matter how strong the wind, no matter how heavy the rain!"
"I won't close my eyes!"
An old song started playing.
Chen Yu and the others also entered the room and quickly divided the beds.
Chen Yu, Zuo Shi, Yang Kexin, Wang Mengmeng.
It wasn't that the two women were targeting or yielding to anyone, but rather that Wang Mengmeng's hips were too big, whereas Zuo Shi and Yang Kexin were slim, so they wouldn't be uncomfortable squeezed together.
"Good night, Brother Chen Yu."
...
...
Seven in the morning. Grayish daylight fell on the pyramid-shaped roof of the carousel.
Chen Yu and the others, plus Flyer, had already arrived early to wait.
Wang Mengmeng yawned: "Brother Chen Yu, do you think Lin Yuan won't come? That guy has less courage than a mouse!"
Chen Yu leaned against the carousel fence with his hands in his pockets.
"Impossible."
Flyer leaned in and muttered: "He must know that the moment he appears, he'll be cut down by you! If I were him, I wouldn't come either!"
Zuo Shi frowned: "But if he doesn't come, maybe something even more terrifying will happen..."
Flyer waved his hand, speaking righteously: "Do you think there's anything more terrifying than being hunted by Brother Chen Yu?"
"Uh..."
Wang Mengmeng suddenly felt that made a lot of sense.
Chen Yu was also silent for a moment.
If Lin Yuan really felt that being killed by him... was more terrifying than being killed by the unknown, then it was possible he wouldn't come.
But that didn't make sense.
Was he really that scary?
Chen Yu shook his head and suddenly looked at the low shrubbery on the right side of the carousel.
"?"
Wang Mengmeng rubbed her eyes: "There's no wind, is there?"
"Bang!"
The gravel under Chen Yu's feet exploded, and he charged out!
But his first step landed on a loose floor tile; the tile tilted, his sole slipped, and his body pitched forward!
Forced, he twisted his waist in mid-air, flipped around, supported himself with one hand, rolled to dissipate the momentum, and continued charging!
Inside the low shrubbery, a figure suddenly sprang up—it was the startled Lin Yuan!
His eyes were wide open, and he scrambled away toward the distance!
Flyer's expression hardened: "Lin Yuan? It's him! He's been hiding right here!"
Zuo Shi was also surprised and sighed: "No wonder we couldn't see him! So he'd been hiding here all along! Just waiting for the final moment to rush onto the facility!"
Yang Kexin's face turned pale, thinking of his Talent.
"If he manages to reach the facility... we might just have all our luck sucked dry..."
Wang Mengmeng nodded: "Good thing Brother Chen Yu caught him! I didn't expect this guy to be so bold! Daring to hide under our noses for so long!"
Flyer said helplessly: "He had no other choice. He probably crouched here all night, his legs must be numb, right? That's why we discovered him!"
Yang Kexin shook her head: "Looking at it this way, Dr. Qiao is too important. Isn't this just bullying us for not having a Perception Awakened?"
In the moment while everyone was talking.
Lin Yuan had already run quite a distance,
but behind him, Chen Yu was faster, though situations kept occurring.
A piece of gravel slipped from under his feet, he stepped on a broken iron chain, a wall lamp fell off the wall.
Luck was always on Lin Yuan's side.
But unfortunately, there was no partition like the Theater entrance, so Lin Yuan couldn't escape Chen Yu's grasp.
In just over ten seconds,
Chen Yu had caught up, and the ghost head blade in his hand swept out.
"Hum!"
"Rip!"
Lin Yuan's luck was quite good; this slash only... tore a long opening from his hem to his armpit, nothing more.
But three seconds later,
Chen Yu had grabbed him and threw him out.
Lin Yuan was thrown seven or eight meters away, his back hitting the gravel road. He bounced once, rolled twice, and finally lay on the ground, choking up a mouthful of blood foam.
His fingers dug into the cracks of the gravel, causing his whole body to twitch in pain, but he was still crawling, his knees supporting him on the ground, inching forward.
But he looked up... Chen Yu's boots were right in front of his face.
His gaze moved up along the boots and met those eyes.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Lin Yuan coughed violently, still trying to shrink back, his buttocks scraping against the gravel as he retreated inch by inch.
Chen Yu frowned, his gaze landing on his clothes, the long tear revealing the skin on his waist.
Chen Yu was certainly not a pervert.
He noticed the person's skin because he saw several bloody scratches.
No...
Not just a few, but dense gullies of bloody scratches covering the skin, new and old intertwined; even just on the exposed patch of skin, it was almost impossible to find an intact piece.
Lin Yuan noticed his gaze and suddenly covered his waist with his hand, shrinking back.
At this moment, Wang Mengmeng and the others caught up amidst the roughness, breathless.
"Brother Chen Yu! We finally caught up to you!"
Wang Mengmeng pointed at Lin Yuan not far away: "Haven't you taken action yet?"
This didn't fit the Brother Chen Yu in her impression.
Zuo Shi narrowed her eyes and walked closer to Lin Yuan: "The wounds on your body... why do they look a bit familiar?"
"No... no..."
Lin Yuan's body stiffened suddenly, and he explained in a panic: "I have a certain tendency for self-harm... I..."
"Bullshit!"
Wang Mengmeng was the first to retort: "You're such a coward, you dare to self-harm, my ass!"
Lin Yuan's face flushed red from the retort; his mouth opened and closed, opened and closed again, but he couldn't say a single word.
