Chapter 44

Saying it’s a hug isn’t entirely accurate. This man is holding him up with one hand pinching the back of his neck and the other supporting his butt, his technique of holding a cat is very skilled, not giving him any chance to escape.

Yan Yunqing opened his mouth, and heard the man’s cold voice, “If you dare to bite me, I’ll pull out all your teeth.”

Yan Yunqing: …This person really abuses cats!

Yan Yunqing awkwardly retracted his teeth. He really wanted to bite, after all, cats don’t understand human speech, but this man’s aura was too terrifying, and he worried that if he bit, his teeth would really be pulled out.

Forget it, I’ll find a chance to change my identity and go out, I’ll deal with this person first.

Yan Yunqing was carried and watched this group of masked men quickly take care of all the guards, and then heard them send people to deal with themówù or magic creatures stored here.

So the purpose of these people is that group of magic creatures? Could this ‘Crimson Mist’ be a vigilante organization from another world?

Right, last time when he turned into a cat to listen to those women doing laundry, he seemed to hear them say that these people bombed the Auction House because the Auction House kidnapped their companions and sold them as slaves?

Good heavens, are they the Avengers?

Having been grabbed by the man and kept by his side, Yan Yunqing actually got a little used to the suppression from his bloodline, and began to eavesdrop on the ‘Crimson Mist’ people’s conversations, he still had an investigation task to do, now that he had run into them, it would really be a loss not to eavesdrop on some information!

Yan Yunqing wagged his tail, his ears perked up, carefully discerning useful information from the bits and pieces of those people’s words.

Perhaps it was because this man was present, the members of the ‘Crimson Mist’ didn’t talk much nonsense, each one more diligent than the last, each one more taciturn than the last.

Not revealing a single bit of information.

Yan Yunqing glanced at the man with his small eyes, and complained in his heart: He’s already their boss, does he really need to be on-site watching them take care of small fry? How untrusting is he?

Sensing the gaze, the man glanced at the little black cat, seeing a hint of dislike in those dark red eyes, his eyelids twitched, and looking closely, there was no flaw, the little black cat’s dark red eyes were clear and innocent, so cute that he wanted to hug it and take a deep breath.

With a snort, the man stroked the sleek fur, loosening his hold on the little black cat a little.

“Boss!” Suddenly someone ran over in a hurry, walked to the man’s side and said in a low voice, “The news was wrong, the magic creatures transported in here are all below level 20, that batch of high-level magic creatures aren’t here at all!”

“Tsk.” Hearing this news, the man’s expression obviously turned gloomy, “Looks like we’ve been tricked.”

“…Moreover, the guards here are all small fry, not a single elite, this place should be a decoy deliberately set up by those people.”

The man frowned, and Yan Yunqing, in his arms, heard all of this, his mind turning, he secretly cried out in alarm: Able to lure the ‘Crimson Mist’ people here, and even pretend to arrange a bunch of small fry for them to beat, this place is obviously a trap!

No, he has to run quickly, if he doesn’t run, it will affect him!

The man seemed to have thought of this too, and swept a glance at the few people still busy working, and said in a deep voice: “Now immediately put down what you’re doing and retreat directly.”

“Eh?” The masked man who reported the news was stunned, “Retreat, but those magic creatures we haven’t dealt with yet…”

“Don’t worry about so much, just leave.” The man carried the cat and walked out in big strides, “This place is a trap, those people are deliberately waiting for us to run in…”

Before the man could finish speaking, several wails came from the depths of the passage, and at the same time, the ground shook again, and several spells blasted all the masked men in the passage away.

“Since you’ve come, why be in such a hurry to leave?” A calm voice rang out from the end of the dark passage.

All the ‘Crimson Mist’ people looked vigilantly towards the end of the passage, as crisp footsteps grew closer, a person wearing a dark red black robe, his face covered with a black mask with complex patterns, appeared.

Yan Yunqing narrowed his eyes, another person with six question marks on his head.

Level and identity unknown, even his appearance is hidden, obviously a shady rat that can’t be seen in the light.

Tch, the mask is so ugly, it can’t compare to his masquerade mask at all!

Yan Yunqing clearly felt the muscles in the arm holding him tighten, indicating that its owner was ready to attack at any time.

Huh?

Yan Yunqing tentatively twisted his body, this time the man didn’t hold him firmly to prevent him from escaping, but following his posture, loosened his grip, and directly put him down.

Yan Yunqing, who landed lightly on the ground, was still a little confused, he had escaped the restraint so easily? He thought he would have to deal with this dangerous man for a while.

Thank you to that masked dude for the assist!

Yan Yunqing turned his head and ran, disappearing from the spot in a flash, now is obviously not the time to watch the show, both of them are dangerous figures with six question marks, not something a small level 28 kitty can afford to mess with.

Of the thirty-six stratagems, running is the best!

Slipping away!

Yan Yunqing ran like the wind, his four legs seeming to not even touch the ground with the naked eye, running quickly towards the exit, when he left, he heard the masked man call out a name to that dangerous man –

“Youcheier.”

…

Yan Yunqing had just run out of the dungeon, before he had time to undo his disguise, he found a group of people surrounding the outside of the dungeon, all in black robes and masks, obviously not good people.

Good heavens, he’s surrounded.

It seems that the man named Youcheier may not be able to walk out of here tonight.

Silently mourning for that man for three seconds in his heart, Yan Yunqing gleefully threw the remaining few Fire Emblems at the feet of those masked men.

Because the sky was too dark, and Yan Yunqing was in the state of a small black cat, running out of the dungeon didn’t attract any attention from the masked men, and no one cared about his small actions.

It was still raining outside, which affected everyone’s vision to a certain extent.

Yan Yunqing was like a fish in water, after throwing out all the Fire Emblems, he quickly left this place of right and wrong, until he ran out a distance, calculating the most extreme magic detonation range of the Fire Emblems, he directly detonated all the Fire Emblems.

Oh yeah – all bombs start, start, start, and – this!

Yan Yunqing undid his disguise, revealing his chestnut-haired high ponytail image again, found a location with a higher vantage point, looking at the distant explosion and the rapidly rising purple flames, he added a sound effect for himself in his heart.

The sudden explosion and the rapidly burning flames caught those masked men off guard, several masked men were blown away by him, and those who were not affected for the time being were also in chaos because of this inextinguishable flame.

Yan Yunqing admired his results, and then turned and left.

Well, at least ‘Crimson Mist’ unknowingly helped him twice, he’ll be kind and create a little chaos for that man too.

As for whether these explosions would involve ‘Crimson Mist’ and that dog man… well, that’s not within his scope of consideration.

Yan Yunqing walked out in a very good mood, looking for Lillian’s small blue dot on the minimap, and finally found the unconscious Ryan Uncle and Lillian who was obviously sulking in a small alley.

“I’m back.” Yan Yunqing spoke first, calling Lillian, who was immersed in her own thoughts, back to her senses.

Lillian was startled, and turned her head to see Yan Yunqing, and immediately flew over to grab his hair, “Are you okay!”

“Me?” Yan Yunqing smiled, “What could happen to me, I’m not good at anything else, but my ability to escape is first-class.”

In order to save his life, he had added several skills specifically for escaping, and he hadn’t even used them today.

If it wasn’t for his concern that the man with six question marks might have means to restrict his escape, Yan Yunqing would definitely have run with his skills directly, and wouldn’t have had to pretend to be an innocent little kitty being carried around.

Maybe he could have scared the dog man with a live cat transformation.

Lillian was angry, “Why didn’t you let me save you? That hateful guy, how dare he pick you up!”

Yan Yunqing waved his hand, “That person’s strength is unknown, besides, our purpose isn’t to win against that person, it’s just to successfully rescue Uncle Ryan.”

Rashly facing someone whose strength you can’t see is not a wise choice, not to mention that the other party has so many underlings, they’d be killed by them even if they each took one stab.

Lillian seemed even more angry: “That damned guy–”

Yan Yunqing looked strangely at Lillian’s inexplicable rising anger, “Right, did you escape smoothly?”

“When I came out just now, I saw several masked men, who didn’t look like good people.” Yan Yunqing thought of those mysterious masked men, before leaving he took a look, the NPC mark for those masks was ‘Mysterious Person’, the specific name wasn’t even given, how did they seem a bit more high-end than ‘Crimson Mist’?

Compared to ‘Crimson Mist’, who revealed their organization name to him from the beginning, their level suddenly decreased.

Interrupted by Yan Yunqing, Lillian recalled, “When I brought this guy out, I didn’t encounter those masked men you mentioned, what’s wrong? Did you encounter people from other forces?”

“Yeah, a group wearing black robes, wearing masks that covered their entire faces.” Yan Yunqing gestured, “That kind of mask that only reveals two eyes, the base color of the mask is black, with very complex patterns on it, do you know if any force dresses like that?”

Lillian hesitated, she quickly recalled, after a while, “What you said is too general, I don’t have any impression of any force wearing black robes and masks, are you sure it’s not Fei Wu’s people?”

Yan Yunqing didn’t think so, if it were Fei Wu’s people, the NPC mark would show ‘Royal Guard’ or something else, instead of simply marking them as mysterious people, obviously just the cheat’s hint to him.

Really, can’t the hints be a little more obvious? Wouldn’t it be good to directly tell him what force these mysterious people are from?

“Forget it, it doesn’t have anything to do with us for the time being.” Yan Yunqing gave up on exploring the identities of those mysterious people now, “We’ll talk about it when we meet them in the future.”

If it’s really some mysterious organization with a huge force, then they’ll meet sooner or later, Yan Yunqing, as a player, has this confidence.

Lillian was dispirited, leaning against Yan Yunqing’s neck and refusing to leave, Yan Yunqing could only let her grab his hair and stay on his shoulder, he carried Uncle Ryan on the other side of his shoulder, and quickly returned to the hotel.

With the healing magic cast by Lillian, Uncle Ryan’s injuries had almost healed, he was just dirty all over, Yan Yunqing was a little disgusted, and simply put Uncle Ryan in the washroom.

“Give him another sleeping spell, don’t let him wake up, we’ll sneak him out tomorrow morning, put him directly on the side of the road and wait for him to wake up and go back by himself, let’s not show our faces.”

Yan Yunqing didn’t want Uncle Ryan to know his disguised identity, so he simply wouldn’t let Uncle Ryan see him again while he was awake.

Lillian did as she was told, after all the things were dealt with, Yan Yunqing used the Clean spell on himself twice before lying down on that soft big bed.

Comfortably sighing, he turned his head and found that the sky outside was almost dawn.

They started acting after dinner yesterday, and spent an entire night to get everything done.

Yan Yunqing, who had said they would carry Uncle Ryan out in the morning: …

He really wasn’t given any time to rest!

Yan Yunqing was helpless, he could only climb up again, carry Uncle Ryan again, and taking advantage of the time when the guards were changing shifts in the early morning, Yan Yunqing changed his appearance, disguised as a mercenary on a mission in the morning, ready to send Uncle Ryan out of the city.

But before he reached the city gate, Yan Yunqing stopped vigilantly, he saw from afar that the guards at the city gate had doubled, and everyone who wanted to leave the city was stopped, no one could pass through the city gate.

Crap, it seems that what happened last night was too big, so much so that the city gate was under martial law in the morning.

The last time the Fifth Prince was assassinated, there wasn’t this kind of array, could it be that two forces fighting last night was more serious than assassinating a member of the royal family?

Yan Yunqing touched his nose, and seeing this, could only bring Uncle Ryan back again, but he couldn’t bring him back to the previous hotel, after all, only a gloomy mage was registered to check in at that place, if a civilian who looked very suspicious suddenly appeared, wouldn’t that be like fearing that others wouldn’t know he had a problem?

Yan Yunqing took a few detours, carrying the sack containing Uncle Ryan, and shuttled through various small alleys, after walking for nearly an hour, Yan Yunqing, as a diligent porter, was a little tired.

In the end, they stopped in front of a tattered door, half of the sign outside was rotten, and it was impossible to tell what kind of shop it was, in the small alley next to the shop door, several people were squatting or standing, hearing the movement of Yan Yunqing coming over, they all focused their attention on him.

Their eyes were very unfriendly, but Yan Yunqing glanced at them and found that their levels were all lower than his, he didn’t even give them a look, directly pushed open the half-covered broken door, and strode in.

This place was what Yan Yunqing had heard while collecting information at the small tavern last night, a black hotel that accepted anyone regardless of their identity, this shop owner seemed to have some background in the capital city, and hadn’t been raided by the guards for so many years, still operating in this small alley.

For Uncle Ryan, such a hotel was very suitable for a person with no records who had been rescued from the dungeon.

Yan Yunqing pulled down his hat and walked in low-key, in the front hall there was a rocking chair, an unremarkable old man was lying on it, his eyelids drooping, seemingly taking a nap.

If he didn’t occasionally shake, looking at his chest that didn’t rise or fall, Yan Yunqing would have suspected that he had died here.

Yan Yunqing walked over and knocked on the table next to him, lowering his voice, “Open a room.”

The old man raised one eye, glanced at Yan Yunqing, his voice was neither salty nor bland, and lazily opened his mouth: “There’s only one single room left, three gold coins a night.”

“Three gold coins?” Yan Yunqing was stunned.

“If you can’t afford it, then choose a bed, there are several beds in a large common room.” The old man didn’t care at all about Yan Yunqing’s eyes that looked like he was looking at a profiteer, and continued to say lazily, “That’s cheaper, ten silver coins a night.”

Yan Yunqing secretly clicked his tongue in his heart, the hotel he stayed at was opened by the Augreir Family, and the room he chose was medium to good, which was only ten gold coins a night, how good could the single room in this dilapidated hotel be? It actually costs three gold coins a night? What’s the difference between that and robbery?

But Uncle Ryan obviously can’t stay in a common room mixed with people, wouldn’t that be exposed immediately? Fortunately, Yan Yunqing wasn’t short of this little money, and said straightforwardly, “Just that single room then, open it for three days first.”

Yan Yunqing took out a worn-out purse from his sleeve, placed it on the table, and generously said, “Keep the change.”

The old man glanced at the purse, and then looked at Yan Yunqing, seemingly assessing his value, after looking for a while, he got up and pulled the purse over, pouring it out onto the table with a clatter.

A pile of silver coins mixed with a few gold coins all fell onto the table, the old man counted them, and spread his hand out in front of Yan Yunqing: “Still short four silver coins.”

Yan Yunqing awkwardly touched his nose, and rummaged through his body again, taking out another worn-out purse, and took out four silver coins from inside and placed them in the old man’s palm.

The old man snorted, unceremoniously took them, opened the drawer under the table, and swept all the silver and gold coins into the drawer, then took out a large bunch of keys from the other drawer, fiddled with them twice, took down a dusty key and threw it in front of Yan Yunqing.

“You still try to show off even without money, you’re quite funny, kid.” The old man raised his eyelids, motioning Yan Yunqing to take the key, “Let me explain in advance, pay first and then renew your stay, I’ll kick you out directly after three days, I won’t give refunds here.”

Yan Yunqing: …

Yan Yunqing strongly suspected that the old man originally wanted to say idiot with that sentence about being funny.

Yan Yunqing silently took the key, and didn’t explain anything, mainly because these purses were what he had taken from the guards lying on the ground in the chaos last night.

Who knew that even though they were doing such outrageous things, those guards couldn’t even scrape together nine gold coins on their bodies, and he had to scrape together from other purses.

It seems that the Augreir family doesn’t pay these guards high wages! Even though these guards are doing work where they’re risking their heads.

Truly black-hearted capitalists, they should be hung from the lampposts!

Yan Yunqing cursed in his heart, silently carrying the sack, took the key and went to find the room he had just spent a full nine gold coins to open.

Before he had walked far, he heard the old man’s voice ringing out behind him, “Kid, you’re going the wrong way, it’s in that direction.”

Yan Yunqing silently retreated again, and walked in the direction the old man pointed.

“Go out less at night, I can’t control what happens outside the shop.”

Yan Yunqing paused, did that mean the guests in the common room might come and rob the guests in the single room?

He couldn’t help but twitch the corners of his mouth, as expected of the most chaotic black shop that accepts anyone regardless of their status!

The single room and the common room weren’t in the same direction, the road was also very quiet, Yan Yunqing lowered his head and looked at the number marked on the key, his gaze scanning the room doors one by one.

“Kacha–”

When Yan Yunqing was passing a single room, the door suddenly opened, a woman with heavy makeup, an extremely beautiful appearance, but wearing very revealing clothes, walked out, almost bumping into Yan Yunqing.

Yan Yunqing stepped back two steps, turned sideways, and leaned the sack with Ryan towards the other side, avoiding this lady.

“Oh? A newbie?” The woman saw Yan Yunqing, and immediately became interested, leaning against the door frame, “Where are you from? Able to stay in the single rooms here.”

Yan Yunqing avoided the woman’s gaze, didn’t intend to answer her, and walked forward on his own.

The woman didn’t get a response, and didn’t feel rejected, holding a cigarette with interest, put the filter tip to her lips, took a puff, and slowly exhaled.

White smoke scrambled to float out of her sexy red lips, the woman’s eyes were charming, but looking at Yan Yunqing’s back, they faintly carried a bit of sharpness.

Watching Yan Yunqing open the door to the room diagonally opposite, and closing it without a word, the woman hooked the shoulder strap that was casually tied on her shoulder with interest: “A bit interesting.”

Able to afford to stay in such an expensive single room, but a small mercenary who looks very ordinary, and able to resist her charm skills.

This broken shop is really full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

Yan Yunqing closed the door, threw the sack with Ryan onto the bed, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, wiping the sweat that had seeped out of his forehead.

God, how come everyone here is a big shot?

The old man who was watching the shop at the door was a level 62 big shot, and the woman who suddenly opened the door when he passed by and threwmèiyǎn or flirting glances at him was also a level 50 high-level NPC!

The most important thing was that he had only looked at that woman once, and a [Charm] debuff appeared on his status bar, scaring him so much that he almost ran away.

If he hadn’t added a lot to his will, and just passed a very difficult judgment, he was really afraid that he would turn around and sell himself with that woman.

Women and children who appear in this kind of chaotic place can’t be underestimated, if you’re not careful, you might be tricked, Yan Yunqing didn’t want to be sold back into the Auction House again in the blink of an eye.

Lillian stared at Yan Yunqing faintly, “You don’t like that woman who appeared out of nowhere, do you?”

Yan Yunqing wiped his sweat again, looking horrified, “What are you joking about, wise people don’t fall in love, do I look like an idiot?”

Lillian: “…Well, you really don’t look like one.”

“I didn’t expect the people here to be such high level, a level 62 and a level 50.” Yan Yunqing was still a little scared, “Will a level 70 or 80 powerhouse pop up later? A small broken black shop, how terrifying!”

Lillian had been mixing experience with him for so long, and had only risen from level 45 to level 46, the higher the level, the harder it is to rise, let alone for NPCs without experience bars?

He started to worry a bit, would something happen if he left Uncle Ryan here alone…?

Yan Yunqing pondered.

Forget it, since the old man watching the door is a level 62 big shot, and he has paid, he heard those mercenaries say last night that although the price here is a bit high, there is still a lot of security in the shop.

As long as Uncle Ryan doesn’t go out, there won’t be any danger.

Yan Yunqing looked at Lillian: “Give him a few more sleeping spells, at least guarantee that he won’t wake up tonight.”

As for tomorrow, it will depend on the situation.

Speaking of which, if he sleeps for three days, will he starve to death?

Yan Yunqing left some food in the room, which were the ones he had packed at the previous Augreir Hotel, they were still warm when he took them out, he found a container that didn’t show where it came from, put all the food in it, and put it on the table along with some water.

He also wrote a note to Uncle Ryan, telling him that if he woke up, he should wait obediently in the room, and someone would take him back when the time came.

After doing these things, Yan Yunqing patted his butt and left.

Now it was his turn to go back and catch up on sleep, he had to sleep hard for a day, nothing could disturb his sleep at this moment!
