195: Aggravated crime
"This is... a contracted beast?!"
The moment she saw the short, chubby hamster, Luo Meier was filled with disbelief.
"How do you have a contracted beast, and... even Little Qiu couldn't resist it!"
"Because you called it out, so, it appeared."
Ye Tian poured all his strength into his arms... "Bang~"
Under a terrifying shockwave, all the furniture in the room shattered into dust, and both sides retreated.
She stared intently at A Man in front, then looked at the hamster still posing.
Luo Meier felt a difficulty she had never imagined.
Facing Gu Yan's 'Second Personality', she had already realized a certain degree of difficulty, and now adding a contracted beast whose depth she couldn't gauge, further reduced her possibility of eliminating the target!
Unless.
She lifted the barrier and used the ability of the Enchanting Ancient Flower.
But if she did that, it would definitely alarm Gu Shanhe, and things would become even more troublesome!
So, they were completely in a stalemate.
"I think, we should talk."
"Talk about what?" Luo Meier's tone was cold, filled with a bit of vigilance.
Even if she didn't want to admit it, she had to.
The current 'Gu Yan' already posed a certain threat to her.
"You've been looking for someone, right?" Ye Tian's words went straight to the point.
"That person is your younger sister, Luo Susu."
"You know?!" Luo Meier's emotions instantly became agitated after hearing Ye Tian's words: "Where is she?"
"You promise me, reveal the person who sent you, and I'll tell you."
It was reasonable; to get information, Ye Tian naturally had to propose conditions.
Luo Meier was slightly enlightened.
If Gu Yan was still the same weakling as before, even if he said he knew about her younger sister, Luo Meier would still kill him and add another tile to her assassin career.
But now.
With Gu Yan having activated his 'Second Personality', she had absolutely no confidence!
That is to say, the possibility of completing the mission and reporting back was very small.
Weighing the two options, Luo Meier chose the latter: "Okay, I promise you, as long as you tell me about my younger sister."
"Luo Susu is in Sky Vault Main City, District 98, Ding-level Street, Unit Three..."
The address, precise down to the household, brought tears to Luo Meier's eyes, making her incredibly excited.
She had searched for so many years, just for this one address!
"What you wanted to know, I've already told you. What I need should also be given to me now."
Ye Tian's voice made the woman compose herself.
In reality, she could leave now and completely disregard the verbal promise.
It's just... thinking about it was pointless.
The employer had severely miscalculated the target's basic strength. Why risk keeping secrets for such an employer?
After fumbling around on her body for a while, Luo Susu threw a recording pen to Ye Tian.
To prevent employers from going back on their word after the assassins completed the mission, things involving privacy like this were their bridge to establishing trust.
"Little brother, you have more 'flavor' than your original personality."
Knowing her younger sister's whereabouts, Luo Meier was much more relaxed.
Ye Tian, however, shook his head and said nothing.
Amidst a peal of charming laughter, the woman left.
The barrier in the room disappeared.
It's just that the broken furniture within was extremely thoroughly destroyed.
As the problem was resolved and the matter came to an end, Ye Tian, controlling Gu Yan's body, slowly lowered his head.
Half a minute later.
"Hoo!"
Gu Yan let out a long breath and returned to his original body.
"System, you looked so cool just now!"
Ye Tian: ...
For a moment, he didn't know if he was praising him or praising his own appearance.
"Ding~ Host currently owes 7920, interest accounts for 24%."
Ye Tian's business-like voice instantly extinguished the excitement on Gu Yan's Face.
Heaven knows when these points could be repaid!
"Squeak... squeak."
Holding a walnut, with a melon seed tucked into its waist like a sword, the Super Nut Hamster walked past him.
His gaze fell upon the hamster, and Gu Yan's brows relaxed.
Although the System was a pit, its efficiency was undeniable.
It bound as soon as it said it would!
The strength of the hamster before him was already beyond doubt.
Gu Yan had witnessed its explosive walnut move just now!
Even the mature B+ rank Bewitching Hill Fox was blown away just the same.
This was just after binding; if his compatibility with this hamster increased, the benefits would far exceed what the Deep Pool Ice Python brought him.
He carefully experienced the power within his body.
After completing the contract with the Super Nut Hamster, his entire body's strength had actually reached the level of a Senior Beast Master!
He directly broke through two minor Realms!
The terrifying feedback intensity overturned Gu Yan's understanding.
"At least I bound an SSS-rank Super contracted beast, it's not a loss!" Gu Yan ignored the credit points owed and muttered to comfort himself.
"Right." Thinking of what the woman who tried to assassinate him left behind before she left, Gu Yan's emotions became a bit serious.
He looked at his hands...
"Huh? Where's that recording pen?"
"Ding~ Host, would you like to spend 1000 points to purchase the recording pen containing important information?"
The System panel unfolded before him. Gu Yan hadn't expected that this item had been taken by the System to the System Mall for sale!
"System, there's no need for this, right? I'm already in debt."
"This item was acquired by the System; it naturally counts as the System's asset. If the Host needs it, you can purchase it with points."
One sentence sealed off Gu Yan's wishful thinking.
Staring fixedly at the recording pen on the System, in the end, Gu Yan gritted his teeth and exchanged for it.
This thing recorded the guy who was secretly dealing with him.
He couldn't ignore it!
"Ding~ Exchange successful. Host currently owes 9160 points."
Consciously blocking out the System's voice, Gu Yan looked at the recording pen in his hand.
He opened it.
Su Wei: "The target is Gu Yan. As long as you kill her, your conditions can be fully met."
Luo Meier: "Target's strength."
Robot: "He doesn't have a contracted beast, he just recovered to Primary Beast Master..."
...
"A recording pen, truly a good thing."
Killing intent was revealed in Gu Yan's eyes.
He hadn't expected Su Wei could be so arrogant!
"System, how is Su Wei doing now?"
"Ding~ Due to the Host reporting it to the police, the other party is currently undergoing interrogation at the City Defense Bureau for fighting."
"Undergoing interrogation." He looked at the recording pen in his hand: "Heh heh... That's perfect, the crime is compounded!"
...
City Defense Bureau.
This was the final destination for countless Humans criminals.
Inside the interrogation room.
Su Wei sat bored on a chair. In front of him were two City Guard members taking notes.
"Bang!" Among the two A Man, the dark-skinned City Guard member stared at the guy in front with extreme displeasure: "Did you or did you not instigate this incident? I'm asking you a question, are you deaf?!"
Su Wei picked his ear: "Don't talk to me in that tone."
"Alright, alright." The City Guard conducting the interrogation were angered into laughter by this guy's inexplicable confidence.
"Since you're not cooperating, we'll proceed according to the highest standard. Fighting will result in direct imprisonment for 15 days!"
"If you really judge me like that, you will regret it." Su Wei's words were full of threats.
"Who do you think you are? Regret." The two City Guard members shrugged disdainfully: "Could it be, you have someone above you?"
"What a coincidence, he really does have someone above him!"
Outside the interrogation room, A Man with a strong voice walked in while speaking.
"Cap- Captain."
The two interrogators were momentarily startled by this sudden humiliation.
"Slap! Slap!"
Two slaps landed on the interrogators' Faces. Middle-aged was furious: "Without asking for the full story, you directly pinned the crime on Young Master Su? Are you trying to die?!"
The interrogators covered their Faces, not daring to say a single word.
"Apologize to Young Master Su!"
"Young Master Su, sorry, sorry!" The two City Guard members were full of panic.
"No need to apologize to me." Su Wei slowly stood up, twisting his wrists and neck: "Because any grudge I have, I will repay it on the spot!"
As he spoke, Su Wei walked up to the dark-skinned interrogator and clenched his fist.
However.
Just as he was about to punch the chest of the thin A Man in front of him, a shout echoed into the interrogation room.
"Su Wei! How dare you!"
The clear words came from Duanmu Shuangkui, who was Duanmu Mingyue's Sister.
Seeing the person who came, Middle-aged and Su Wei simultaneously furrowed their brows.
"Captain Shuangkui, Su Wei is just venting his inner dissatisfaction." Middle-aged said plainly.
"Venting dissatisfaction? How ridiculous!" Duanmu Shuangkui waved her hand at the group of people behind her: "Directly escort Su Wei to prison, no interrogation needed!"
"Wait!" Middle-aged blocked the way in front of everyone: "Captain Shuangkui, I have to protect this person!"
Even if you don't give me Face, you should give Young Master Long some Face, right?"
Hearing Young Master Long, a slight surprise appeared in Duanmu Shuangkui's eyes, but she still shook her head and said: "I respect Young Master Long, but unfortunately, protecting Su Wei in front of the legal bottom line? I'm afraid it's not enough!"
After speaking, Duanmu Shuangkui opened a recording from her telephone... presenting it to everyone around.
