Chapter 707: 13.8 – Missed Star – Angry General Autumn
Meanwhile, Ye Qiuji who ran away the moment he entered the field to hide from his husband is currently conversing with his system. He had also gathered a few hints and a piece of the map as he journeyed around the field.
Ye Qiuji, “Yue go gather everything about my husband’s current state. I want everything.”
[Please give a moment to gather everything, Host.]
“Take your time. Just get me all you can find about Long Xie. Even his past events. I also wish to redeem an item that will allow me to completely hide my presence from Long Xie.”
[Host. I’ve redeemed a Shadow Realm Artifact for you. This will allow you to hide within the world of shadows in any world. Please be reminded that the Host is still able to redeem 3 more items from the System Mall.]
Receiving a black braided bracelet-shaped artifact from his system, Ye Qiuji replied. “Thank you, Yue.”
[Congregation of Long Xie’s Data Complete! I will now pass the data to the host. It will be a bit painful, so please bear with it.]
.....
Hearing that Ye Qiuji used the artifact on his wrist and entered the shadow world within the forest of the field, suddenly his presence completely left reality and entered the realm of shadow. After receiving the data about Long Xie, the relaxed atmosphere around Ye Qiuji completely disappeared.
After all, not only he received a copy of Long Xie’s complete memories, but he also saw what happened in his past. Anger swelled from his heart. It was too much that the aura he exhibited released full S presence within the field instantly destroying half of the forest in his anger.
BOOOOM!!!
Within the 100 meters around him, everything was destroyed. Instantly half of the players within the field died leaving the field in their life-saving capsules. After that sudden burst of aura, Ye Qiuji was surrounded by life capsules that held a few insect creatures that were made to complete the field. Ye Qiuji left a single black cube before forcefully bringing himself out of the field.
Backstage was in chaos when they felt that frightening aura of Ye Qiuji. Even the whole field slightly shook at him temporarily releasing S class aura in just a split second. The hovering surveillance camera around him turned to dust the moment his aura touched it.
The instructors named Xiang, Blood Pigeon, and the guest researcher, the same young scientist that taught the lesson of Social Psychology, all frowned when they felt the ground shake for a moment. This is especially true for Blood Pigeon and the Young Research, Prof. Sian who felt the aura of an S-class warrior in that split moment.
Lady Xiang panicky asked, “H-Hah!? What was that? E-Earthquake?!”
Frowning Blood Pigeon, “No. It’s not an earthquake. That’s the aura of an S Class warrior!”
“An S Class warrior!? No way! Would someone noble like that enter our Variety Show!?” said Lady Xiang in disbelief.
“Checked the recordings and showed the monitor of the infield surveillance. Check for the location where the field is destroyed!” ordered Blood Pigeon to the staff.
Lady Xiang said, “T-Though there are no rules saying S Class warriors and above were not allowed to play in Survival Games, I would never have thought a senior of that standing was wasting his time playing virtual games!?”
Professor Sian spoke, “Don’t waste your time looking all over the field. Just check the locations of the members of Team Autumn Dragon.”
When the young researcher said that the expression on Lady Xiang and Blood Pigeon is that of disbelief and shock. Why didn’t they think about the only S-rated Team? Following the suggestion of the special guests, the monitoring staff showed every member of Team Autumn Dragon on screen.
They saw Tang Yuu and Ru Tang frowning on the monitor, it is obvious that they felt that frightening aura in that split second. On Xie Long’s screen, they saw him moving at high speed going through the field with a dark expression. They could see urgency within his cold eyes.
On the other hand, they were stunned to see the scene in Ye Qiu’s location. The circle of 100 meters around Ye Qiu can only be described with one word: Ruin.
All trees turned to dust, insects in their life capsules. In the middle of it, they can see Ye Qiu standing with a single handgun in his right hand and a piece of paper in his left hand.
Lady Xiang gasped in shock, “F-For real!? It was really Little Autumn!?”
“Little Autumn is a 3S Class Physique possessor!? But he’s only in his twenties!?” said Blood Pigeon in shock.
Prof. Sian asked as he noticed the piece of field map on Little Autumn’s left hand. “Little Autumn? Is it that beautiful man that is always with Bo-the man named Xie Long!?”
“Yes. I’ve heard the rumors that Little Autumn is Xie Long’s lover.” Said Lady Xiang.
The young researcher frowned when he heard that. As if understanding something and then seeing Long Xie running in urgency to meet Ye Qiuji. “This is bad. I want you to show nothing about this part of the recording! If my guess is right then... the dragons will emerge.”
Silence inside the room among the instructors inside only Lady Xiang couldn’t understand the meaning of the young researcher’s words while the blood pigeon was silent in overwhelming shock and incredulity.
Blood Pigeon himself is a full pledge A Class warrior with an A+ Class physique. He knew more things about the hidden truths within the upper echelons than an ordinary citizen like Lady Xiang. He knew who the dragons’ Professor Sian was talking about.
They are figuring out whose identity is considered highly classified within the realm and no one aside from the Emperor and Marshal knew about those dragon’s origin and appearance.
As if answering their question they watched the current scene on the monitors, Long Xie finally found Ye Qiuji but he was staring at him coldly.
Long Xie calls, “...Qiu’er?”
Wearing a serious and almost expressionless face Ye Qiuji said, “Meet me. In reality.”
Once he said that Ye Qiuji’s figure disappeared and a small black cube fell on the ground which Long Xie picked up. He knew what the black cube was. It’s a device that allows one to create a realistic hologram figure of someone and this hologram is directly connected to the actual person of the shown figure.
Long Xie knew that Ye Qiuji had longed to leave the field and is back outside the field for quite a while now. He looked at the hovering surveillance camera and said,
“Bring me out immediately.” Said Long Xie as he waited for the backdoor of the field to open for him to go out with this the announcement that both of them retired in the game was announced.
Tang Ruan and He Yuu were once shocked when they heard the announcement.
He Yuu dazedly said, “The bosses left the game early? But why!?”
Tang Ruan remembers the earthquake just now and connects it to their bosses suddenly retiring the game ahead of time. He realized that something happened between the two, but he didn’t know if his boss would like it if they got eliminated from the game.
“For now, let’s win this round and look for them after. Our Team must not get eliminated for no reason.” He said to his fiancé who nodded his head in agreement.
Snowflakes Entertainment Conference Room. Currently, this privacy room was reserved by Ye Qiuji. The atmosphere around him is serious and scary. The moment he left the field forcedly, the whole management of Snowflakes Entertainment was left in skepticism.
They welcomed him with their greatest respect not meeting his gaze. Professor Sian headed the entourage to welcome General Autumn. At the moment only Ye Qiuji and Professor Sian were inside the room.
Using his terminal he made a soft copy of data part of Long Xie’s memories, especially about the G-Code laboratory and Long Xie’s current treatment history. Once Professor Sian saw the contents before him, his eyes widened in shock.
Ye Qiuji spoke coldly, “Please tell me everything about his current ongoing treatment, Chen Sian.”
When asked that way he knew that the person before him knew the data facts about Long Xie’s ongoing treatment. According to the information, Long Xie had undergone forced gene unlocking when he was young as an experimented subject in the X-Code laboratory.
Unlike Ye Qiuji, born with a natural full 3S Physique, Long Xie achieved this through human experiments when he was young. His original physique is only C- only after forcedly opening the two gene locks that he reached the 3S Physique but the consequence of that is that he lost his emotions and temporarily lost his senses.
Thought for some reason only in front of Ye Qiuji that his emotions resurfaced but that doesn’t mean he is completely healed. There is still a high possibility of him losing his sanity as long he was not completely treated and that’s the core of Ye Qiuji’s fear.
No one wants to see his own lover going insane before him, especially not Ye Qiuji who only has Long Xie in his heart. He couldn’t lose the only person he considered his whole world.
Chen Sian remained silent which incurs Ye Qiuji’s anger, but the former could feel the concern and fear within his words as even his cold voice was slightly trembling as he spoke. In the end, he still kept his mouth shut as the one he swore loyalty to is Long Xie and not Ye Qiuji.
Ye Qiuji’s anger reached its peak. “Since you are not answering this King’s questions then... you don’t need to answer anything in your whole life!” he said as he reached out intending to break Chen Sian’s neck because of fury but even before he touches the professor’s neck someone grabbed Ye Qiuji’s wrist and stop him from doing so.
There is only one person in this star that could stop Ye Qiuji if he really wanted to kill someone. As expected, Long Xie finally appeared and stopped his lover from killing his former subordinate.
Long Xie spoke, “Enough. Qiu’er!”
Ye Qiuji’s emotions were in chaos but the fact that he is angry at his husband for keeping such an important fact about his life that he couldn’t help but hate his lover at this moment. He flings the hand that holds his wrist.
“Seat. Long Huangdi.” Said Ye Qiuji as he motioned for Long Xie to take Chen Sian’s seat which was just opposite him.
Chen Sian stood on his trembling legs and let his boss take his seat standing on standby beside Long Xie, afraid that General Autumn would take his life in fury. Long Xie sat down as he was asked if his eyes were still his lover’s currently cold face. His own expression was ugly to behold.
Looking at his lover coldly shows him the same records that he saw Chen Sian just now. Ye Qiuji said, “What do you say now Long Huangdi?”
Long Xie’s expression turned cold when he saw the contents before him. It was a piece of extremely classified information about himself that even this star’s main database doesn’t have. He couldn’t understand how Ye Qiuji could have this data that only he is supposed to have.
He thought that Ye Qiuji’s question was about him being looked down upon by Ye Qiuji because of the original C- Physique he was born with. To him, Ye Qiuji’s questions are the same as looking down on him.
Long Xie glared with immense sorrow in his eyes towards Ye Qiuji, “You’re cruel, Ye Qiuji.”
