Chapter 634: 12.36 Unknown Star – Modern ABO World: Increasing crime rate
At the office of Yu Xi, Ye Yuyan told everything he knew about the Red Poppy Syndicate. He also explained to him their future plans and their roles. They took a few hours of long conversations in the office unknown to those who don’t know the real reason for Prosecutor Ye Yuyan’s rash summon to Director Yu’s office though he is being reprimanded for a very long time.
That’s the scene Ye Yuyan wanted to achieve by acting crazy in the Interrogation room. The dummy Hei Yuhua who was beaten up by Ye Yuyan took the original Hei Yuhua’s place in the prison. The dummy’s actions and gestures were all programmed by Hei Anjing to perfection except for his dull and lifeless eyes, he moves like no different from other people. Only this dummy doesn’t have a soul in it to be considered alive.
The police officers and some subordinates of Ye Yuyan who didn’t know about the secret plans were feeling worried for their captain.
“Do you think the captain would be okay?”
“But the head saw the captain beat up that bastard, there is no way he wouldn’t get punished.”
“For real? What should we do? Would the captain get suspended!?
“What will happen to us then?”
.....
“Maybe scatter to the other group...?”
“What about Lou-ge?”
“I would leave if the captain leaves,” said Lou Wei who just returned from picking up Lord Hei.
Placed a few boxes of sweets bought by Hei Yuhua on the table for his colleagues.
“Eat. It was bought for us,” said Lou Wei as he stared at the closed door of the Director’s office.
“Woa~ it’s that famous one from the city!”
“Wow! For real... I heard these are extremely expensive.”
“Boss, did you buy it for us!?”
“Do you think I have that kind of money? Just think of it as something bought by the captain as a farewell gift,” said Lou Wei.
“Farewell gift? What do you mean, Lou-ge!?”
Just as they wanted to ask Lou Wei more about the situation when suddenly the door of the closed office was kicked open with a bang.
BAM!
Ye Yuyan looked fiercely and angered when he kicked open the door. Everyone could see their head director looking so pissed yet depressed. They could see him holding their captain’s identification and his qualification as a prosecutor was confiscated as expected.
Director Yu Xi shouted, “Yuyan! You jerk. Come back here I’m not done talking with you!?”
“I gave you what you wanted!? Leave me alone!!” said Ye Yuyan.
His eyes met Lou Wei’s eyes in that split moment and knew that his wife’s dummy of him had already been made. He only needs to temporarily disappear from everyone’s sight.
“Lao Wei, I’m leaving the unit. I was dismissed,” said Ye Yuyan.
Lou Wei sighed and said, “I’ll send you home, captain.”
“Let’s go for a drink. I suddenly want to drink tonight. Go to the usual place.”
“Yes. Captain.”
Ye Yuyan walked towards the parking lot followed by Lou Wei. Using an illusion made by a prop Ye Yuyan redeemed using his points he exchanged places with his dummy self and entered the car waiting at the corner of the street with Lou Wei.
He kissed Hei Yuhua’s cheeks and welcomed him with a smile. Seated inside the car is Lord Hei hugging a few boxes of desserts and eating with Yun Jie silently beside him.
Hei Anjing commented, “Whoa~ how loving... Though everyone outside only sees you as a dismissed police officer who violated the law itself. Pfft~”
“Is that dummy going to drink beer? Is it going to be alright?” asked Yun Jie, but he was asking the one inside him as he knew Lord Hei tends to ignore other mortals except for Hei Yuhua and Ye Yuyan.
Yun Ming took over for a bit and answered his question, “I’ve placed enhancement on it. It would be able to eat and drink like a human.”
Lou Wei said, “That’s amazing itself.”
Lord Hei spoke, “I’m bored~ let’s go home~ at least at home I can play with the baby. Your plans are completed for today right? Leave the information gathered to Yue and Yang. You promised to bring me to Chinatown’s night markets.”
Hei Yuhua said, “We will bring you there as promised. Just wait for a few more days please.”
“Okay~,” said Hei Anjing.
Only then did this group go back to the condominium building owned by Ye Yuyan. At home, the prime minister and his wife were waiting for them to go home with their granddaughter for their return. This is a short peace before the storm. They’ve made all the necessary preparations for the future. They only need to abide by their time.
Hei Anjing watched the happy scene of the Ye family from the veranda. He is in indivisible mode with System Yue and System Yang with him. His eyes were cold yet sympathetic not to the family before him but to the whole human race of this world. As a god, the lives of other humans are nothing in his eyes but as long as they are useful he is willing to lend a hand like how he is now helping Hei Yuhua and Ye Yuyan. Because they were fated to meet, he is willing to change their future.
System Yang asked, [Master, is it alright for you to overuse your authority in such an unlisted world. Master is even using the little bit of the true qi you have in you to connect this world to the Nether System. Why is that?]
“Hm~ nothing. I just feel it would be useful or something. Well, it is more like a whim. Of mine. Don’t overthink too much. I usually just add worlds into the Nether System database anyway. It’s nothing new.” answered Hei Anjing.
System Yue asked, [Lord Hei, when do you think Milord would wake up? The last time I checked the formation had gathered enough qi to heal his soul. The chaos in it was already solved.]
“And yet he still hasn’t opened his eyes right? There is nothing wrong with him, it’s just that... It was almost time for his soul to return to his body. Once that last soul fragment from that world we missed was taken back by Xia Jieye then... His soul would be pulled back in his revived vessel and Xia Jieye only needs to cleanse his soul core in the last world so we can all go back to the Netherworld.” explained Hei Anjing.
His eyes narrowed as a crescent as he smiles, no one knows what he is thinking about but they know he is definitely hiding something from all of them.
Hei Anjing said, “Don’t worry too much. My love would be waking up sooner or later. I’m going to sleep.” He once again faded into thin air after saying these words leaving only the bewildered systems floating on the veranda.
System Yue asked, [A’Yang, do you know what Lord Hei is planning on doing?]
[No. But... I don’t have a good feeling about it.] replied System Yang.
System Yue asked, [Do you think we can stop him?]
[Impossible. No one had ever guessed what is inside the mind of the Destruction God. Let’s wait and watch. Then... Make a move when it’s time.] replied System Yang.
[Sigh~ I understand.] said System Yue.
—
Inside Ye Yuyan’s soul, Hei Anjing entered once again to check on his husband’s condition. He looks better this time as his fragments were slowly merging into one with only two missing pieces to complete the soul. Once Xia Jieye and Ye Xiajie merged as one, the real God of Void and Netherworld would wake up. The only Supreme God that was born in the darkness. The alter ego of the Supreme God of Light and the chosen other half of the God of Destruction.
Hei Anjing reached out his hand and caressed his face with doting eyes on himself. His eyes were full of love as he treated the man in his eyes his everything.
“You should wake up soon. Once your| soul returns to your body, the abyss would once again resurface. My love, be careful of the end.”
He speaks the words all on his own as if he doesn’t care whether there is someone listening to him at all.
Hei Anjing kissed his forehead and said, ”I will be back again, My Love.” Then he once again disappeared from the spirit domain and returned to Hei Yuhua’s soul to take a rest.
In the few months when Ye Yuyan and Hei Yuhua were resting at home, Hei Anjing only came out once. They were a bit worried when they noticed the changes in him but System Yang told them that Lord Hei is only sleeping and that there is nothing wrong at all.
They had a peaceful yet short vacation until news about serial killings that involves the death of a few police officers was broadcasted on the news. The civilians only know these policemen are ordinary working police forces but only Hei Anjing who worked undercover for Aster knows these dead policemen were his colleagues from the Intelligence Division. The Red Poppy Syndicate had started cleaning up their organization.
Television news at today’s evening broadcast.
“Officer xxx of the Police Department lost his life to a criminal. It was said that the officer is a passionate fighter against crime. He had unusual compassion for ordinary people and was an extremely righteous person.”
“After his passing, the condolences from the society were expressed. In the face of an increasing number of crimes, Officer xx faced the shrewd and intelligent violence of uncaptured offenders. Some have expressed their desire to come up with immediate countermeasures to solve the problem.”
On television, Director Yu leads the group of people in mourning suits. Under the rain, they send off Officer xxx to his last destination. At their home, in the condominium where Ye Yuyan and his family live, this news plays on their television in the living room.
As expected, not only Ye Yuyan but also Hei Yuhua had a serious expression to seeing such kinds of crimes being reported on the evening news.
Ye Yuyan asked, “How many was this month?”
“He is the fifth one. It was his mission at first, to marry one of the daughters of the old directors of the Police Headquarter but in the end, he had fallen for real and asked Aster to delete his records and made an ordinary background. In the end, someone found some traces. I always told them to double-check before entering another mission.” said Hei Yuhua.
Ye Yuyan hugs his moody wife in his arms and pats his back.
“This is no longer your fault. The moment we choose to step back after we completed all preparations, what they do after that no longer has something to do with us. They were careless and got caught on their own. Don’t blame yourself, Yu’er.” said Ye Yuyan.
Hei Yuhua sighed and openly accepted the warmth being given to him by his man and said, “With these many deaths from our side, Brother You would definitely call us back as planned.”
“We will capture them all this time,” said Ye Yuyan.
Hei Yuhua said, “I will support you all the way.”
“After cleaning them up, let’s retire for real. Buy a house somewhere secluded and live an ordinary and simple life there,” said Ye Yuyan. “It would be better if it was in a place no one knew who we were and live a life as if it was our real second life.”
“I and Huahua will go wherever you go, A’Yan,” said Hei Yuhua. “This time we will never be apart.”
While the couple talks about their goals and dreams as one, Director Yu who had just gotten back home from the funeral of the latest death of the division slumped as soon as the door to his office was closed.
Thud!
Sigh~
Director Yu mumbles, “There are too many deaths as expected. So tiring, I can’t do this all on my own. It is better to bring them back to action. But why did Yuyan choose that useless brat as his partner for this group? Plus the criminals he would choose as his members were two disguised top agents from Aster and the last, is a disguised Lou Wei himself. I tried to clean up the hidden spies as much as I could but also lost many brothers in the process. It’s time to bring the mad dog back to duty.”
He suddenly brought out his phone and made a series of calls. No one knew who the people who received his call but one of them is definitely Ye Yuyan.
