Chapter 372 Mira in Wedding Dress

"You haven't seen the way he kills those Face-Splitters, one slash after another, one slash after another..."

"Stop!"

Song Xingmian shouted to stop the Earth Rat. These words sounded familiar; Song Mingzhao had also been describing it non-stop just a moment ago.

It was evident that the terrifying masked man they spoke of had left a very deep impression on everyone present just now.

"Since you were able to escape, you can consider yourself lucky."

"After all, judging by your descriptions, that guy must be cold-blooded."

Song Xingmian sighed, then stared at the Earth Rat and continued, "So, the Military District is reasonable. As long as you hand over all the supplies..."

Before she could finish speaking, the Earth Rat knelt down with a thud: "They're gone! They're really gone! Everything was snatched away!"

Zhang Lieyang narrowed his eyes, clapped his hands together violently, and an explosion rang out!

It scared the Earth Rat so much that he shivered all over!

Zhang Lieyang demanded, "You're lying. If you handed over all the supplies, why would he let you live?"

"I..." The Earth Rat was unable to defend himself. "I... I don't know either!"

"Bullshit!"

"Hand over the supplies immediately!"

Zhang Lieyang stepped forward, making a gesture as if he were about to raise his hands and strike the Earth Rat's head!

The Earth Rat howled, "Wait... wait... he really emptied my entire backpack! I'm not lying! The golden body card, Energy Core, jerky, medicine—he didn't leave a single thing!"

The Earth Rat wailed, "I swear on my life! He stripped me cleaner than my own face; he almost even took the clothes off my back!"

Song Mingzhao's mouth twitched. "Then what value do you have now?"

The Earth Rat muttered, "...I don't have any value, but can you not arrest me..."

Song Xingmian rubbed her forehead. "You're dreaming. Come back with us."

"Huh?"

The Earth Rat wanted to say something, but he had already been grabbed!

Subsequently, the Military District's main force began to head into the distance!

However, one question lingered in everyone's minds!

"Why didn't the terrifying masked man kill the Earth Rat? Could it be that he only kills monsters and not people? Is he that principled?"

...

"How did it go, Chen Yu! Where is Brother Jiang!"

In the alley, Mira was still waiting at the corner, occasionally and anxiously peeking toward the dungeon entrance.

Finally, she waited for a figure to appear.

Chen Yu came up from the dungeon, his head lowered, his posture loose, his windbreaker stained with many dark marks.

Even... his expression was quite exhausted.

Mira rushed up to him, getting straight to the point. "How did it go, Chen Yu! Where is Brother Jiang!"

Chen Yu didn't speak immediately, instead shaking his head slightly, a faint, elusive bitterness at the corner of his mouth.

"I saw him."

"...Is he alive?"

"He is alive."

Chen Yu's voice was hoarse. "But I couldn't bring him back."

Mira frowned. "?"

Chen Yu shook his head and suddenly started coughing. "Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough..."

It had to be said, the coughing tactic was simply foolproof.

At this moment, Mira also pursed her lips.

But her concern for Brother Jiang still made her press further. "Chen Yu... you... what's wrong? What exactly happened to Brother Jiang?"

"There is a lightning-type Awakened at the Military District, at least SSS-rank."

Chen Yu paused, still feeling a lingering fear. "I originally intended to snatch Jiang Boyuan away, but... but that guy's hand was too fast. A bolt of lightning struck directly, and I was almost left behind..."

"What?!"

Mira exclaimed!

That lightning Awakened was actually that formidable? Even stronger than Chen Yu?!

No wonder back at the Yan Garden Villa, Chen Yu had no choice but to flee in disgrace!!

"I originally wanted to try a direct charge, but facing a lightning Awakened of that level head-on isn't realistic. I had to withdraw for now and think of another way later!"

Chen Yu explained simply, finally adding, "I wasn't able to bring him back, sorry..."

"...As long as he's alive, it's fine."

Mira's voice was very low. "It's just that I don't know why he isn't replying to my messages... Maybe he dislikes me now..."

Chen Yu shook his head and didn't say anything more.

Mira looked to the side again. "Chen Yu, even if that lightning Awakened is powerful and we are no match for him, we cannot give up on Brother Jiang. I... we had an agreement!"

Chen Yu was quite helpless. "So what if we had an agreement?"

Mira gritted her teeth. "Chen Yu, you cannot go back on your word. You promised me!"

Chen Yu's voice gradually turned cold. "We can't beat them... or are you saying... you want me to throw my life away?"

Mira shut her mouth and fell into silence.

Chen Yu looked at the sky; it was already very dark, especially since they were outside the core area, where there wasn't even a streetlamp, only the moon in the sky illuminating the earth.

The wind blew over, carrying a slight chill, swirling up the broken grass leaves on the ground.

Chen Yu said calmly, "Let's go back first, curfew is almost here..."

Chen Yu walked two steps, noticed there were no footsteps behind him, and turned his head.

Mira was standing behind him to the side, leaning against the rock wall, her gaze lowered to the ground, struggling with something.

Chen Yu said coldly, "Then you can just stay here..."

"Wait... wait!"

Mira raised her head, her eyes still red. She bit her lower lip, as if making an extremely difficult decision.

"If... if... I help you like this..."

She pulled a large expanse of white from her backpack, the skirt spreading out on the gravel ground, piling up in a layer of fine folds.

It was a wedding dress.

Light and thin.

The neckline was adorned with fine lace, and the waistline was cinched very tightly.

Chen Yu's gaze paused on the wedding dress, then shifted to her face. "...You carry this with you?"

Mira didn't answer. Clutching the wedding dress, her voice trembled. "If I help you like this, can you not give up on him?"

When she said this, she didn't look at Chen Yu, more like she didn't dare to.

The hem of her black dress and the lace of the white wedding dress intertwined, one black and one white, creating a strong visual impact.

Chen Yu suddenly felt a surge of anger rising from his chest.

He had never seen a woman carry a wedding dress with her, and even less so, a woman who would take it out to use as a bargaining chip.

Just imagine, an old classmate's fiancée, holding a wedding dress she hadn't had the chance to wear yet, asking him if he could help her save her fiancé.

How the hell could he endure this?

Chen Yu took a deep breath. "Not giving up on him isn't impossible."

Mira looked up abruptly, her eyes brightening for a moment.

Chen Yu calmly stated his condition. "But I need more information about the Gold-Swallowing Hall, for example... a second Earth Rat..."

Mira was silent for a long while. "As long as Brother Jiang can be saved, I am willing to do anything."

Mira turned her back, bent down, and began to change her clothes.

The black dress was removed, replaced by thin gauze falling along her skin, the neckline clinging to her collarbone, the waistline cinched, and the skirt spreading out at her feet.

The veil hung down from her hair, extremely alluring.

She turned around, the white wedding dress swaying in the twilight, revealing the long lines of her legs.

Her thin-heeled high heels stepped on the gravel ground; she didn't speak, just stood there waiting.
