107: Chapter 107 Jiang You's dormant brain has been activated!

In the kitchen, Plum Blossom Three was dishing out porridge while gritting his teeth:

"Damn brat... just you wait!"

"How dare he treat me like a waiter... I am no gentleman if I don't avenge this!"

"Once we're out of the dungeon and that Tier 5 Great Demon isn't protecting you, I will definitely tear you to shreds!"

Soon, he returned to the living room carrying the steaming porridge.

To avoid raising suspicion, he specifically ran to the wall, used all his might to pry Diamond Five out from the wall, forcibly pinched his philtrum to wake him up, and made him stand to the side holding a dish of pickles.

Diamond Five's arm was in excruciating pain, and his head was buzzing. Just as he was about to scream, he was glared back by a look from Plum Blossom Three:

"Shut up! Do you want to die? That is a Tier 5 Great Demon! That man is the gigolo she keeps! If you don't want to die, then endure it for me!"

Diamond Five understood the look, shivered all over in fear, and could only stand to the side, tears welling in his eyes while holding the pickles.

Jiang You leaned back comfortably in the massage chair, enjoying the service of the two Tier 4 Martial Artists.

"Hmm, not bad."

"This porridge is cooked with some skill."

Jiang You took a sip of the porridge and actually started to get picky:

"It's just that these pickles are cut a bit too thick; pay attention to your knife skills next time."

Diamond Five almost slammed the plate onto Jiang You's head upon hearing that.

Knife skills? I use these hands to kill people! Not to chop pickles!

But facing the curious gaze cast by Bai Lan nearby, he could only nod with tears in his eyes:

"Yes... Boss is right, I will definitely cut them into shreds next time."

Ten minutes later.

Jiang You was full and satisfied, letting out a long burp.

"Burp—"

"Alright, I'm full."

"I see you two are exhausted too; that short guy's hand is still shaking, must be his Parkinson's acting up."

"Your work is about done, right?"

Hearing this, Plum Blossom Three felt as if he had been granted an amnesty.

He quickly gave Diamond Five a wink, and then the two bowed deeply to Jiang You and Bai Lan in unison, their tone extremely sincere:

"Since Boss is full, it's time for us to... to handle the follow-up work!"

"Although the sewer is unclogged, the main valve outside hasn't been tightened!"

"We need to go outside and close the valve!"

Jiang You was enjoying the massage at this moment and waved his hand casually to dismiss them:

"Fine, fine, go ahead."

"Be meticulous with your work, don't slack off."

"Alright, Brother! You rest up!"

The two backed out of the room, wearing humble smiles on their faces.

The moment they exited the courtyard and were out of Jiang You and Bai Lan's sight, their expressions instantly turned ferocious and venomous.

"Ptui!"

Plum Blossom Three spat fiercely on the ground:

"What the hell is that!"

"A useless student who only knows how to bully others by relying on someone else's power! Once I find an opportunity, I'll definitely peel his skin off!"

Diamond Five clutched his broken arm, grimacing in pain:

"Brother Three! Let's run!"

"That woman is too terrifying! And that man... that man is too despicable!"

"It seems we can't win over that Tier 5 Great Demon to our side; the plan has failed, we need to retreat first!"

"Right, let's find a way to escape first! We must take revenge for this later!"

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The two instantly burst into speed comparable to a rocket, dashing away like two startled groundhogs the moment they stepped out the door, vanishing without a trace in the blink of an eye!

In the living room of the cozy cabin, as those two unlucky "pipe repairmen" scurried away, the air finally returned to tranquility.

Jiang You sprawled on the massage chair and did not immediately restart Cloud Walk mode.

Instead, his brows were tightly furrowed, and those dead-fish eyes, usually half-open and half-closed, now rarely revealed a trace of... light called "wisdom."

"Phew..."

"Finally managed to send those people away."

"Looks like my acting skills are still on point."

Jiang You sat up straight and began to review the whole incident in his Brain.

Although Jiang You was usually too lazy to use his Brain, that didn't mean he was stupid.

The series of events that happened today were simply too coincidental, too bizarre.

Jiang You stroked his chin, his Brain beginning to run at high speed, attempting to connect it all together:

"First, I was sleeping at the campsite, and for no reason, I was kidnapped to the riverside and thrown directly into the river!"

"Then, I buried the box, yet this gang of people followed the scent like dogs, chasing me to this remote cabin."

"They pretended to be sewer repairmen, but upon entering, they didn't fix pipes or check the water meter; they actually opened their mouths asking for that silver box!"

"And this rice and radish actually tasted pretty good... uh, that doesn't seem important!"

Jiang You's eyes narrowed further and further, as if he had already touched the edge of the truth:

Bai Lan, who had been obediently eating potato chips on the side, suddenly tilted her head, extended a fair, tender finger, pointed at the top of Jiang You's head, and asked with a curious face:

"Big Brother..."

"Why is your head... smoking?"

"Is your processor overheating? Do you need some water to cool down?"

However, at this moment, Jiang You had entered a mysterious state of "overclocking" and was deaf to the sounds of the outside world.

His eyes stared at the ceiling without focus, his thoughts seemingly breaking through the shackles of his flesh, flying toward the distant horizon.

He was thinking.

He was meditating.

He was exploring the ultimate logic behind this.

"Why must they find that box? Are they underwear collection enthusiasts?"

"No, no, that hypothesis is wrong! First of all, those people didn't know there was underwear in the box..."

"What connection does the box have with the riverside? And what connection does the riverside have with this cabin?"

"I clearly entered an S-rank dungeon, so why am I now lying on an electric massage chair with cloud massage functions?"

"Behind all of this, is there a secret hidden about the birth of the Mist Swamp?"

"How are dungeons formed? Is it spatial folding, or dimensional collapse?"

"What is the meaning of human existence? Is it to guard the box, or to search for that lost radish?"

"The universe... is it expanding or contracting?"

Jiang You's gaze became deeper and deeper, as if within his pupils, the magnificent scene of the Big Bang had already evolved, and countless stars were being born and dying in his mind...

Just at the moment his thoughts were about to touch the "truth of the universe," Jiang You suddenly snapped back to reality, slammed the armrest of the massage chair fiercely, and let out a deafening roar:

"What the hell kind of logic is this!!!"

"What the hell am I thinking about!"

"This is just a bunch of lunatics!"

He wiped the sweat from his head and looked at the ceiling with a face full of bad luck:

"These are just a bunch of perverts with holes in their Brains, or some kind of new type of slaughter-pig scam!"

"They want to use this kind of serial trickery to make me panic, and then willingly give the box to them!"

"They are experiencing the thrill of this hunter game! And I am their prey!"

"Luckily I'm clever and buried the box early on!"

Deduction complete.

Jiang You let out a long sigh of relief and gave up on thinking.

He stood up, stretched his limbs, and looked at the still thick mist outside the window, a long-lost sense of "responsibility" rising in his heart!

"Although those two lunatics have left, there might be other crazy people."

Since the other party is coming for him, he cannot implicate this "intellectually challenged" little sister in front of him!

Thinking of this, Jiang You decided to leave this gentle haven!
