TSIAGBICATMWI Chapter 91

Xie YunChuan said stiffly, “I’ll pay you!”
Cheng Xie immediately changed to an expression of pleased approval, earnestly lecturing, “Ah~! That’s right. Young people shouldn’t be so rude. To err is human, to forgive, divine!”
It was fortunate he didn’t have a beard, or he would have reached out to stroke it.
His profoundness lasted all of three seconds before he reverted to a playful face, loudly saying, “I forgive you, happy now? I don’t need you to pay for the keyboard either. I have a spare, hehe!” As he spoke, he conjured a brand new, identical keyboard from who-knows-where and held it in his hand.
The rapid shifts in emotion and the quick change of face, even knowing he was a madman, shocked Xie YunChuan. He had prepared himself mentally, but clearly, he hadn’t prepared enough.
Hearing Cheng Xie sounding like he was mourning, Xie YunChuan was really afraid that he wouldn’t be able to catch his breath and would die of anger in the next second.
Now Xie YunChuan was the one about to die of anger, being played like a monkey by Cheng Xie. It was hard not to be angry.
Perhaps he had been crazy enough, Cheng Xie became serious, his tone changing, “Seeing how sincere you are, tell me, what do you want to know? Or what do you want from me?”
Where was the sincerity? Cheng Xie had the gall to say that so casually, Xie YunChuan was embarrassed to even hear it.
Still, Xie YunChuan pulled Luo Shuyou in front of him and had him cover his ears. Seeing Luo Shuyou obediently raise both hands to cover his ears tightly, he asked Cheng Xie, “Can you see anything different about him?”
Cheng Xie’s madness was real, and his inscrutability was also real. Even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance, Xie YunChuan didn’t want to give up this hope.
“Half-human, half-zombie, what’s so hard to see? It’s nothing rare!”
He said words Xie YunChuan had never even considered so lightly. Xie YunChuan pondered and murmured, “Half-human, half-zombie?” Suddenly, he asked excitedly, “Then do you mean he can still turn back into a human?”
Cheng Xie: “I never said that. You’re the one who said it.”
“Is there no possibility?”
“I didn’t say that either, haha.” Cheng Xie was annoyed with this not-so-clever kid, and pointed out, “Becoming a human or a ghost is not up to you or me… it’s up to him.”
In an instant, Cheng Xie conjured a brand-new small notebook from who knows where and placed it on the table.
“Alright, knowing you were coming, I prepared this long ago. What you want to know is in here. That’s all I know. Believe it or not, it’s up to you. Whether you do it or not is up to you. This old man is old and can’t control that much.”
Xie YunChuan wanted to reach out and take the notebook, but found that his body couldn’t move an inch. He broke out in a cold sweat, “What did you do?”
“Didn’t do anything, just that I should leave, it’s more convenient this way.” As he spoke, Cheng Xie walked up to Xie YunChuan and carefully sized up Luo Shuyou, who was obediently motionless in his arms. “Why are you so well-behaved?”
Xie YunChuan seemed calm, but was actually going crazy. He said coldly, “Don’t touch him!”
Cheng Xie: “……!”
“Which eye saw me touch him? It’s not me talking about you, but look at you, still only a Level Two ability user even now, with three types of abilities in vain, yet you can’t even bring out a tenth of their power. Honestly, if you’re bad, practice more. Futile barking won’t stop someone who truly wants to kill for even half a second.”
It seemed that Cheng Xie approached just to mock Xie YunChuan face-to-face. After speaking, he turned around and left without the slightest hesitation.
Reaching the door, he paused as if he had remembered something, turned around, and said to Xie YunChuan, “Oh right, there’s a big guy on the way. If you don’t want to die, hurry up and take your little darling and escape. With your weak chicken strength, you can’t beat it.”
After thinking for two seconds, he added, “But… you can let your little darling go out in a big form and take it for a walk.
Also, Lu Yunzhou, kill him if you want. I don’t need him as a test subject.
I’m leaving, goodbye for now. We will meet again.”
This calm, intelligent, cruel, and ruthless person was the real Cheng Xie, wasn’t he?
Struggling was useless. Xie YunChuan silently watched his figure gradually disappear.
Luo Shuyou had been obediently listening, covering his ears and shrinking into Xie YunChuan’s arms. Even when Cheng Xie approached just now, he had only tried his best to arch back into Xie YunChuan’s arms.
After a long while, Cheng Xie was long gone, and the entire laboratory was so quiet you could hear a pin drop, terrifyingly silent.
The White Tiger Cub also stood motionless behind Xie YunChuan. Luo Shuyou’s arm was sore, so he turned around to face Xie YunChuan and said, “ChuanChuan, arm… tired, you… cover.”
He didn’t know why Xie YunChuan wanted him to cover his ears. He was tired now and didn’t want to cover them anymore, but ChuanChuan didn’t say to let go.
Xie YunChuan blinked, wanting Luo Shuyou to let go. He had told him to cover his ears earlier because he was afraid that hearing his conversation with Cheng Xie would have some impact on him. Now that Cheng Xie was gone, he could naturally let go.
But after trying for a long time, his lips couldn’t move even a bit, and he couldn’t speak.
Seeing that Xie YunChuan was ignoring him, Luo Shuyou nudged him with the hand covering his ear, “ChuanChuan, speak!” Wuu, why isn’t ChuanChuan paying attention to YouYou? YouYou listened well and covered his ears!
Xie YunChuan could only watch anxiously as Luo Shuyou stumbled, humming and grunting, calling out to him for a long time, until he was about to cry without getting a response.
What kind of magic did that old thing Cheng Xie cast on him? Not only could he not move his whole body, but he couldn’t use his abilities either. He didn’t feel any energy fluctuations from Cheng Xie’s abilities.
Could it be that he was poisoned? Did he give himself some kind of nerve-paralyzing poison?
But YouYou had never left his side for even half a step, so why was he alright?
When Cheng Xie finished dealing with the last matter and walked to the entrance of the base, preparing to leave, he had a whim to check on the situation of Xie YunChuan and the others. He discovered that several hours had passed, the sky was gloomy and about to dawn, and Xie YunChuan was still standing there blankly, without breaking the restraints.
Cheng Xie frowned and shook his head repeatedly. Truly, rotten wood cannot be carved, and mud cannot be plastered on a wall!
Angrily flicking his sleeves, he turned and left, casually releasing the mental control he had placed on Xie YunChuan from afar.
He hadn’t even figured out what was going on. By the time he expected him to break free from the restraints on his own, he might have already been gnawed into a skeleton by zombies.
