NOVPUBChapter 372 -211: Bedlam Asylum Plan_2
鈥淟et鈥檚 not talk about that for now,鈥 Che Zhengchen paused, 鈥淏lood Clan Hunter, I really didn鈥檛 expect remnants of that organization to still exist. So how did you manage to escape from them? Surely the Dice Monster didn鈥檛 just let you go?鈥
Blue Owl shook his head.
鈥淨ing Ya came to my rescue. Then the Dice Monster gave me a hint, revealing the whereabouts of those Blood Clan Hunters.鈥
He paused for a moment, then shrugged: 鈥淚 was annoyed, so I headed to the Old Jingmai District and had a fight with those Hunters.鈥
鈥淟ooks like this whole mess was kicked off by that Dice Monster,鈥 Che Zhengchen thought to himself. 鈥淚 really can鈥檛 figure out what it鈥檚 thinking, its motive.鈥
鈥淢aybe it鈥檚 just enjoying the chaos鈥︹€
...
鈥淩ight,鈥 Che Zhengchen took a deep breath, 鈥淚 should report to the Association and apply to increase its wanted level, can鈥檛 let it continue to run wild.鈥
鈥淓ven Qing Ya can鈥檛 catch it slipping, not to mention anyone else.鈥
鈥淲e鈥檝e got to try.鈥
鈥淭hat鈥檚 also true.鈥
Speaking of which, the corners of Blue Owl鈥檚 mouth curled up slightly behind his mask, thinking that as long as the Dice Monster鈥檚 wanted level was upgraded from C to B, one of the main quest branches for Qing Ya would be completed.
At the same time, it wouldn鈥檛 be long before Blue Owl would advance from an E-class superhero to a D-class. Just needed to do a few more Association-assigned tasks, accumulate points by the book, and ascending would only be a matter of time. He aimed to climb to A-class within the year and join the Round Table Council.
Thus, the main quests concerning 鈥淨ing Ya鈥 were making steady progress.
潡堭潣佛潣潣?co
鈥淭hose Blood Clan Hunters you mentioned, do they look like this?鈥
As he spoke, Che Zhengchen pushed a file across the table to Blue Owl.
Blue Owl glanced down and saw the portraits of the Blood Clan Hunters in the file, which also included Gastella, who had been charred to cinders by Magical Girl Xiaohongmao鈥檚 fireball.
He sucked in a cool breath, thinking he鈥檇 rather not look too closely. If he did, it would send shivers down his spine; perhaps this woman would come to claim his life in his dreams tonight鈥
Especially since Gastella might be the most oppressive opponent he had encountered so far, other people didn鈥檛 have the player鈥檚 perspective, so they could play around with a god-level view, but Gastella was different: as a player, they were both aware of each other鈥檚 weaknesses.
鈥淵eah鈥 those are the ones I saw.鈥
Blue Owl nodded, 鈥淲hen I got there, I also ran into Black Wukong, Magical Girl Ash, and Magical Girl Xiaohongmao. It was those comrades who helped me defeat them鈥 It was a fierce battle, and just after it ended, the nuclear bomb exploded above Huanjing鈥檚 sky, and then we all went our separate ways.鈥
Hearing this, Che Zhengchen said sentimentally, 鈥淵ou were lucky. If you had gone there alone, you might not have stood a chance against those Blood Clan Hunters.鈥 𝑛𝘰𝑣𝘱𝑢𝑏.𝘤𝑜𝘮
What he meant was 鈥淵ou鈥檙e being too reckless, if you didn鈥檛 have help, were you planning to take on all those Blood Clan Hunters alone?鈥
鈥淧lease, I鈥檓 not that reckless. I only took action after assessing the situation.鈥
Blue Owl defended himself.
鈥淎nyway鈥 as long as the result is good, that鈥檚 what matters. Not just the Blood Clan Hunters, but this Parasite incident seems to be drawing to a close too. Once the Association finishes its investigation, the higher-ups should grant you a certain amount of bonus points for your contribution,鈥 Che Zhengchen said while adjusting his glasses on the bridge of his nose. 鈥淏ut our President is really suffering, he must undergo observation and protection for a whole month鈥 Officials want to clarify what the Blood Clan Hunters did after using a Parasite to control him, it鈥檚 made everyone in the Huanjing branch anxious.鈥
鈥淭hings should calm down after a few days鈥 although President Li Qingyao鈥檚 chances of retaining his position are slim, given the severity of the public outcry over the nuclear bomb. No one鈥檚 going to support someone who sent a nuclear bomb towards their own city to continue serving as president of the Superhero Association鈥︹€
Blue Owl commented nonchalantly.
He scrolled through his phone in bed last night and saw almost every forum vilifying Li Qingyao for his actions, although the authorities had explained that he was controlled by a Parasite.
But few were willing to listen to these explanations; they wanted to vent their frustrations.
In today鈥檚 internet climate, no matter how respected Li Qingyao used to be or how much he contributed to various fields, he鈥檚 essentially as good as dead now, let alone being able to reclaim the presidency of the Association.
鈥淭his topic is too sensitive, not suitable for our discussion,鈥 Che Zhengchen changed the subject, 鈥淏ai Yi and the others are dining on the 15th floor, you should go find them, they are pretty concerned about you.鈥
鈥淚 don鈥檛 need to undergo additional investigation, make a statement or something?鈥 Blue Owl asked.
鈥淣o need, I鈥檒l take care of those things for you.鈥
鈥淥kay, then thank you, Commander Che.鈥
With that, Blue Owl paused for a moment, then glanced sideways at him.
鈥淎lso, have you really not considered severing ties with me? Last time you were kidnapped, this time it was my turn鈥 It鈥檚 pretty clear, getting too close to me won鈥檛 end well.鈥
鈥淣ot considering it.鈥
Che Zhengchen replied calmly, with his hands clasped in front of his chest, 鈥淏ut if we turned back time, say ten years ago, then I might have thought about it.鈥
鈥淲hy?鈥
鈥淏ack then, my wife hadn鈥檛 died from an illness, and my son was still alive, not dismembered by the Timekeeper.鈥 Che Zhengchen smiled, 鈥淢y principle was to never involve my family, but now that I have no family left, what鈥檚 there to worry about being alone?鈥
