GRMFBS CH58

Gu Jiancheng was very clear about what was important and what wasn’t.

The entity that caused the Grabled anomaly No. 2, wanted to obtain fragments of the Infinite World. If he held back in such matters, would he be giving the enemy room to grow?

That day, when he dealt with the Corpse Flower Konjac clones, Gu Jiancheng left the large one for the people from the Abnormal Affairs Management Bureau at the scene and swallowed a few smaller ones with his Shadow when he left.

Since the Corpse Flower Konjac clones had no intelligence and couldn’t speak, he would let their corpses speak.

Gu Jiancheng studied this small Corpse Flower Konjac for a few days and dug out traces of “He Xin Yin” (Heart-Inducing Lure) from within it.

The traces were faint, partly because it was only a clone of the Corpse Flower Konjac demon, and partly because the person who modified the Corpse Flower Konjac demon didn’t use an entire He Xin Yin. It was estimated that they used other methods to assist in reducing the dosage to achieve the effect, which, although it weakened the effect of “He Xin Yin,” allowed one piece to be used multiple times.

The Infinite World was destroyed, and there were no more sources for He Xin Yin. Given this usage, it was unlikely that the person behind it hadn’t collected He Xin Yin through various channels.

After three seconds, the Broker still hadn’t opened the door. Gu Jiancheng raised his leg, preparing to kick.

“Wait! Coming, coming! Don’t kick my Superalloy Enchanted Chain Array Door!” The Broker jumped up and opened the door. “It’s very expensive!”

After opening the door, the Broker stood at the doorway, giving two awkward laughs: “Why did you come in person? Couldn’t you have just communicated about this? Let me state upfront that I haven’t touched any He Xin Yin! I also don’t know if anyone has traded He Xin Yin in the black market!”

Gu Jiancheng stepped in: “Then go investigate.”

He stopped, turned, and stared at the Broker: “Don’t try to fool me.”

No one who survived the Infinite World was simple. The Broker could even establish a black market with the tacit approval of the Abnormal Affairs Management Bureau after coming out. His abilities were not weak at all.

In the Infinite World, the Broker could establish a trading market completely under his control, even under the Infinite’s supervision. There was no reason he couldn’t do it here.

“Okay, okay, but you at least have to tell me why you’re looking for He Xin Yin. Using this level of ability is also very exhausting for me. I can’t just finish the job without knowing why I’m busy.” The Broker nodded readily, beginning to bargain.

Since Deep Shadow (Gu Jiancheng) had personally come to his door, this was something he couldn’t refuse.

Gu Jiancheng threw the small Corpse Flower Konjac clone to him.

The Broker, wearing gloves, caught the pitch-black thing, looked at it twice, and was somewhat speechless.

This thing was sealed by Deep Shadow’s shadow; what could he see from it?

The Broker was about to look up when Gu Jiancheng suddenly said, “Someone is digging up Infinite fragments.”

The Broker was instantly startled. He felt Deep Shadow’s bottomless eyes firmly fixed on him, and cold sweat immediately broke out.

The Broker understood very well what “someone is digging up Infinite fragments” meant. Perhaps someone coveted the power of the Infinite and wanted to study it, which could very likely lead to the Infinite’s revival, or it could be that someone intended to revive the Infinite.

The Infinite was a terrifying world that deeply understood human nature. It was fully capable of using coercion, temptation, and “killing three warriors with two peaches” kind of schemes. Therefore, even those who survived the Infinite might not be unmoved by the benefits promised by the Infinite and turn to help it revive.

And Deep Shadow, at this moment, was judging whether he had been swayed.

The Broker couldn’t help but curse himself, Why did you have to open your big mouth and ask!

He absolutely did not want the Infinite to revive, but he didn’t know how to make Deep Shadow believe him!

“I absolutely don’t want it to revive!” The Broker swore to the heavens, his eyes behind the mask wide open, trying to convey sincerity. “It’s very good at burning bridges and playing word games! I know I absolutely can’t beat it! My business ventures have limits! I would never do something with such high risk that it could lead to losing everything!”

Deep Shadow’s unwavering eyes still firmly stared at him.

The Broker felt his sweat almost soaking through his clothes before the other man finally moved his eyes away.

“He Xin Yin…”

“I’ll investigate! I’ll investigate right now! It’s my top priority! And don’t hesitate if there’s anything else you need from me.”

Gu Jiancheng nodded.

He had never been polite.

After nodding, Gu Jiancheng left. His visit was just to scare the Broker.

He had already entrusted the All-Purpose Informant to find healing items. He didn’t trust the Broker in this regard, and with the Broker’s personality, if he heard that Gu Jiancheng was looking for healing items, he would inevitably start guessing why he needed them, if he was injured, if there was an opportunity… it would be very annoying.

Seeing him leave, the Broker let out a deep sigh of relief.

That lunatic Deep Shadow finally left!

Move, move! This place has been discovered by Deep Shadow! It’s not safe anymore!

Wuwuwu, his heavily invested safe house… The Broker spun around twice in distress, then thought that even if he moved to another place, Deep Shadow would probably find him again.

Moving would be pointless, even more heartbreaking…

Then don’t move! Just pretend the moving money was saved. Thinking this, he suddenly felt like he had made a profit!

There were still two days of classes before leaving school. Zhan Yan seized the time to practice his animal affinity, even specially making cat food and dog food for it.

The result was that the food was eaten, but the animals still avoided him. Some even preferred not to eat rather than be near him.

On Friday afternoon, with no classes, Zhan Yan took the rejected cat food and boarded a train home.

Thinking back to the days when he could get small animals to cuddle without coaxing them with food, it was truly heartbreaking!

As he entered the community, Zhan Yan happened to run into his neighbor, Aunt Bai Linghui, walking Da Mao. Zhan Yan remembered the cat food in his backpack and tried to entice the old familiar dog.

Da Mao shrieked and circled to the opposite side of Bai Linghui, his tail tucked between his legs, his legs clamped together, and barked at him:

“Demon of Castration! Stay away from me!”

Zhan Yan: …

Bai Linghui: “Hahahaha, Da Mao really doesn’t like you anymore, huh? Is the sterilization surgery that powerful?”

Zhan Yan: Sadness.

Bai Linghui comforted him: “It’s okay, Da Mao doesn’t eat your food, Auntie Bai will make some snacks for you!”

“Then I’m making a huge profit!”

Zhan Yan was about to put away the cat food when he suddenly felt something brush against his foot.

He looked down and saw a white long-haired cat squatting by his feet. Seeing him look down, it rubbed against him again with its head, its golden eyes staring at the cat food in his hand. Its tail was wrapped around its front paws, looking very reserved and polite.

This was the second small animal, besides the Husky “Paopao,” that wasn’t afraid of him!

“Do you want to eat?” Zhan Yan asked.

The little white cat nodded.

Zhan Yan put down the cat food. The little white cat rubbed against him again and began to eat.

What a polite little cat!

“It’s so smart,” Bai Linghui also exclaimed. “Is it a male or female cat?”

“Let me see.” Zhan Yan prepared to move behind the cat. “If it hasn’t been sterilized, it can be done…”

The little white cat immediately sat down, its butt firmly pressed to the ground, and turned its head to look at him warily.

[The little white cat thinks you’re a pervert.]

Zhan Yan: …

The very polite little white cat walked away mercilessly after finishing its food.

It’s my occupational hazard.

Back home, only his sister, Zhan Suirru, was there.

Zhan Suiru secretly used an instrument to scan Zhan Yan, confirmed her brother was fine, quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and shooed him to take a bath.

Refreshed, Zhan Yan sprawled on the sofa, eating his sister’s snacks: “I met a little white cat in our community, it’s so smart, and it’s not afraid of me.”

The only thing was, the little cat didn’t make a sound from beginning to end, so he didn’t know what it wanted to say.

Zhan Suiru: “Do you like it? You can kidnap it and raise it at our home.”

Zhan Yan: “…Forget it. I said I wanted to check if it was sterilized, and if not, I could do it. It seemed to understand, and now it probably doesn’t like me anymore.”

Zhan Suiru: “Hahahahahaha!”

Zhan Yan: “…Sis!”

Zhan Suiru finished laughing and then placated him perfunctorily: “Don’t be angry, Sis will bring you some gossip.”

Zhan Yan: Hmph!

Do I need you to bring me gossip now?

With the system in hand, I’m the biggest melon-eating king in the melon patch!

Zhan Suiru opened her Moments to show him: “Many people in Moments are posting about this. The owner of the amusement park next door has insomnia.”

“Insomnia?” Zhan Yan honestly craned his neck to look. “How would insomnia spread?”

Zhan Suiru screenshotted the content and sent it to him: “He’s not just unable to sleep; every time he falls asleep at night, he dreams. Sometimes it’s sleep paralysis, sometimes he’s grabbed by ghosts, and then he wakes up scared. He’s so tired he falls asleep again, only to have another nightmare.”

Zhan Yan looked at the screenshot his sister sent.

After waking up scared, this boss wrote down his nightmares, and now they’ve accumulated into a series of horror stories. They’re quite good, some are thrilling, and some are unsettling when you think about them.

The amusement park owner became famous through his nightmare content.

Mentioning the amusement park reminded Zhan Yan of the last time he went there with Gu Jiancheng and met a ghost working for money to buy its own offerings in the haunted house.

He wondered how that ghost was doing now.

[Amusement park owner Qiao Wenjian refused to give leave and forcibly adjusted the schedule, causing the ghost Yu Zhen to miss the food offering ceremony at Mingtai Temple. Extremely furious, Yu Zhen subjected Qiao Wenjian to a cycle of “sleep paralysis for two days, one day off.”

—”What’s wrong with shifting all eight hours of daily sleep to be compensated for on the third day? You adjust my schedule, I adjust your sleep!”]

Hmph! No wonder the insomnia is so unique!

What a creative way to get revenge!

“When is Mom coming back?” Zhan Yan asked.

“Not sure, seems like something suddenly came up, and she’s working overtime,” Zhan Suiru said.

Zhan Yan continued to eat his “melon.”

The Anomaly No. 2 has been captured for so long, I wonder how the Abnormal Affairs Management Bureau is progressing?

[Wan Yan Ghost King found the Abnormal Affairs Management Bureau and asked, “I heard you saw Lin Yuan?”]

Oh, oh! The matter of Lin Yuan Ghost King helping to capture the Anomaly No. 2 was known by Wan Yan Ghost King. He’s coming to them now!

Zhan Yan’s attention was instantly captured, and he began to watch the live broadcast.

[The receptionist told Wan Yan Ghost King that Lin Yuan Ghost King was not at the Abnormal Affairs Management Bureau and called Fang Zhen, who was at the scene at the time.]

[Fang Zhen explained to Wan Yan Ghost King that they coincidentally met Lin Yuan Ghost King and didn’t exchange a single word throughout the encounter.]

[The Abnormal Affairs Management Bureau rejected Wan Yan Ghost King’s unreasonable request to search for Lin Yuan Ghost King within the bureau.]

[Wan Yan Ghost King furiously shattered the reception room. The scene was filled with chilling yin energy and rampant curse power.]

[Wan Yan Ghost King released curses such as “whoever looks at you gets pregnant,” “no paper after pooping,” “hair loss leads to baldness,” etc. No one dared to approach.]

Tsk, tsk, tsk, if it were him, he wouldn’t dare to approach either.

[Tianshi, unaffected by curses, suppressed the temperamental Wan Yan Ghost King.]

Tianshi is awesome!

Tianshi’s fans praised him inwardly without surprise.
