Chapter 666 Criminal Acts!
Chapter 666 Criminal Acts!
Miss Hugh has always been decisive and efficient, so he felt there was no need to beat around the bush with someone like that.
As expected, Miss Hugh finally nodded, and the two found a table in the corner and sat down.
Chu Yang naturally allowed his assets to shrink again. He ordered two drinks and two small pieces of bread, and under the waiter's very reluctant gaze, he forcibly asked for some jam.
"You must be an Extraordinary being, right? Are you from the government? What do you want to talk to me about?"
Even after taking her seat, Miss Hugh remained very wary.
Chu Yang chuckled and said, "I'm not an official. I'm just an ordinary person who's very curious about the world of extraordinary beings."
"There was a huge trap in our conversation just now, which I think you didn't notice, so I wanted to remind the famous Miss Hugh."
"Just think of me as an ordinary person who is grateful for the good things you did in the past."
Chu Yang ultimately forced out a flimsy excuse.
Otherwise, he was afraid Miss Hugh would turn around and leave on the spot.
"What huge trap? Isn't this just an ordinary person finding an extraordinary item and using that as an excuse to commit evil?"
Miss Hugh couldn't help but frown.
Chu Yang immediately shared his previous speculation.
Miss Hugh's mind went blank upon hearing this, and she said, "What do you mean? You mean that guy named Pushkin is deliberately playing a role under Lordak?"
"But isn't he an extraordinary being? Why is he playing a role?"
Chu Yang was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.
He suddenly remembered that Miss Hugh had not yet received any information about the role from her best friend.
As the story unfolds, after Miss Hugh's best friend Fors joins the Tarot Club, she learns from the club that Extraordinary individuals can enhance their Extraordinary traits through role-playing.
Fors eventually informed Miss Hugh through a series of coincidences, so Miss Hugh naturally had no idea about the role.
"Don't you understand the meaning of playing a role?"
After a slight hesitation, Chu Yang finally decided to tell him directly.
So he quickly imitated the tone of the fool in the novel and told everything.
"Every extraordinary individual who wants to enter the extraordinary sequence and continue to advance must take different potions."
"But potions aren't something that can be successfully digested; what the extraordinary one needs to do is play a role..."
After giving a brief explanation, Chu Yang immediately said with a serious expression:
"If my deduction is correct, this matter is beyond your ability to intervene, Miss Hugh."
"My suggestion is to tell the officials directly and let them handle it."
Hearing this, Miss Hugh hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.
She wanted to ask more questions about the acting method, but it was clear that Chu Yang was unwilling to elaborate, so she had to give up in the end.
"Sir, the information and knowledge contained in each of these mysterious books are extremely valuable. Why are you so easily sharing them with me?"
Miss Hugh still remained wary.
Chu Yang smiled helplessly. The reason he said all this was naturally to help Miss Xiu successfully infiltrate the Tarot Club.
But the real reason cannot be said in detail.
"Miss Hugh, as I said before, the good deeds you did have helped me before, so I am happy to serve you."
"But if you feel bad about it, you can pay me some commission as a way of hiring me to conduct the investigation."
Chu Yang said with a grin.
Miss Hugh, standing to the side, froze on the spot, then blurted out, "Sir, are you a detective?"
Hearing this, Chu Yang was even more stunned, thinking to himself, "This Miss Xiu really has an amazing brain circuit, exactly the same as in the original work."
Coming to his senses, Chu Yang hurriedly replied, "You can think of it that way. If you ever need help in the future, you can come to me right here in this coffee shop."
Miss Xiu didn't delve any further, since she could tell that Chu Yang meant her no harm.
"How many pounds of that intelligence do you want?"
Miss Hugh, with a serious expression, decided to pay the payment on the spot.
"Well... how about you give me a hundred pounds?"
After a slight hesitation, Chu Yang offered another price.
Because he had no idea how much this information should sell for, and it wasn't mentioned in the original work.
However, information involving the extraordinary should be quite valuable, so he directly quoted a high price of one hundred pounds.
After all, for someone who weighs only five or six pounds, one hundred pounds is an extremely luxurious number.
However, upon hearing this, Miss Hugh's expression suddenly became even more serious.
"Sir, what you just said is almost unbelievable to me. I even suspect you are a fraud."
"Based on your reasonable reasoning and the information you gave me about the mystical side, these things cannot be measured by this amount of money."
"Especially the role-playing method, there are probably many people willing to pay thousands of pounds to buy it, and many even believe that it is priceless."
Miss Xiu's story made Chu Yang's brain work at lightning speed, and he quickly found an excellent way to evade the question.
"Miss Hugh, as you said, knowledge is priceless, so I can't offer a higher price, because that would be meaningless."
"Here's what we'll do: consider this information I'm giving you."
"But the next time you want to hire me, it can't be at this price; you'll have to pay reasonable compensation."
Chu Yang even extended a finger and shook it slightly, striking a pose of superiority.
As expected, Miss Hugh was intimidated.
"You're absolutely right, sir. I'm not sure how to address you, and what time of day should I come to the coffee shop to contact you?"
Miss Hugh even asked in a somewhat urgent manner.
After all, someone who can selflessly share esoteric information with you is extremely rare.
Not to mention that this person also possesses very strong reasoning abilities.
For her, as the judge, this was an excellent candidate for a partner.
"Forget about my original name, you can call me Chu Yang from now on. As for looking for me, I'll probably be having breakfast at this cafe a lot these days."
As Chu Yang spoke, he mentioned the ten pounds of intelligence fees that Miss Xiu had pulled out.
Although he inherited the body of his predecessor, he no longer intended to use the interpersonal relationships that Qian Sheng had built.
So I'll take this opportunity to gradually spread my real name.
"Okay, Mr. Chu Yang, then we'll see you next time."
After saying that, Miss Hugh decisively brought up the battle flag and prepared to leave.
"Please wait a moment, Miss Xiu." Chu Yang finally couldn't help but stop her, and explained solemnly, "Miss Xiu, the matter of the role-playing method is very important. You'd better not easily reveal it to the people around you, otherwise you'll get yourself into trouble."
Hearing this, Miss Hugh turned around and asked, "Are you saying that this kind of knowledge is monopolized by the church?"
Chu Yang nodded very firmly, "That's right, and only the higher-ups in the church know this knowledge."
Hearing this, Miss Xiu felt even more grateful to Chu Yang. She nodded heavily, thanked him again, and turned to leave.
At this moment, Chu Yang began to slowly enjoy his breakfast and slowly review the series of actions he had just performed.
"I'll have to get in touch with Miss Hugh sooner or later, so helping with the steel is a way of establishing a good relationship with her beforehand."
"But now that I think about it, I was too forward and uninformed. The information from the mystical side is too precious. I can't do that again next time."
"But I wasn't like this before. Could it be some residual extraordinary characteristic in my body that's influencing me?"
Thinking of this, Chu Yang felt a chill and made up his mind to accelerate his journey to becoming a reader and truly open the door to the extraordinary world.
After finishing breakfast, Chu Yang took a deep breath and decided to go find one of his predecessor's good friends.
Although he has decided to gradually give up the original name of this body and completely sever ties with his original network of contacts.
However, this kind of thing cannot be severed so easily.
This body originally owed many favors to its true friends.
He needs to repay it slowly; otherwise, unilaterally severing this extremely precious friendship will inevitably leave huge hidden dangers for this body sooner or later.
After all, he would eventually rise to the rank of demigod in this world.
At that time, everything will probably be settled.
With a jumble of thoughts in his mind, he soon arrived at a clothing store.
This is a unique clothing store that combines handmade and ready-to-wear options.
With his savings, he would never have been able to buy clothes here, but with the information fee given to him by Miss Hugh, he can now order an outfit directly.
This garment belongs to one of his friends, so he might be able to get a discount.
As soon as Chu Yang pushed open the door, he saw a girl of similar age to the body rushing out of the door in a hurry.
"Elinda, you're still the same as always, so impulsive and energetic."
Elinda stopped in front of Chu Yang, and after seeing his current appearance, she became excited.
"You seem to be in much better spirits than before. Have you finished dealing with things at home? Did you come to visit me this time?"
"Everything else is taken care of. You know, I need to find a new job as soon as possible to support myself. I was planning to ask you to buy me some clothes."
Chu Yang helplessly shrugged.
"No problem, I can pick out clothes for you..." Elinda said, then tapped her head apologetically.
It turned out that she was participating in an event organized by a club that was about to start, and she probably wouldn't have time to choose clothes for Chu Yang, so she had to get to the destination as soon as possible.
Have you joined any new clubs?
Chu Yang was immediately surprised.
In his memory, Elinda was a girl who was energetic and outgoing, but actually somewhat introverted.
Originally, this girl only hung out with a few close friends.
How come after her predecessor had been living in a daze for a while, Elinda suddenly found herself in a new circle?
In this mysterious world, the sudden occurrence of something illogical immediately put Chu Yang on high alert.
"You know, I'm really into occult knowledge, and there just happens that a new club has started at school."
"That club teaches a lot about occult knowledge."
Alinda said excitedly.
Upon hearing this, Chu Yang frowned slightly.
Then Erinda continued to explain.
This newly established club was organized by a teacher at the school.
"Our teacher said that all death is not the real end; he even believes that the dead can be resurrected. That sounds amazing!"
Elinda became more and more excited as she spoke.
However, upon hearing this, Chu Yang's brows furrowed into a deep frown.
These familiar arguments reminded him of a group of reckless individuals in the original story.
In the original story, the teacher, who was completely incompetent, led a group of students to commit suicide in the cemetery.
If it weren't for Klein from the original story stepping in to solve the problem in time...
I'm afraid all of those people are dead.
He would never let Elinda get hurt like this.
"Elinda, as your good friend I have to remind you, don't get involved with that teacher and his group, it's really not safe to do so."
Hearing this, Elinda suddenly blushed and said softly:
"You've always cared a lot about me, so you don't want me to become curious about others or have too much contact with them?"
Chu Yang's lips twitched slightly. What on earth was this woman imagining?
But for his safety in the long run, and to repay the debt he owed from his past life, he could only take a deep breath and continue explaining:
"Elinda, we've studied physiology together before. You should know that even in the realm of mysticism, resurrection is extremely dangerous and completely taboo."
"And that idiot teacher in your club actually dared to openly declare such a thing. He's either up to no good or he's just plain stupid."
Chu Yang, who was familiar with the plot, knew that the teacher was a complete idiot who had no idea of the consequences of his actions.
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say, but don't you think coming back from the dead is really cool? Don't you want to see the process of someone coming back to life?"
Although Elinda promised Chu Yang she would no longer get involved, she was still somewhat unwilling.
"Even if it were true, how would that idiot teacher possibly verify it? He can't possibly take you all to steal a corpse today, can he? That's an extremely serious crime!"
Chu Yang deliberately used a more stern tone.
The little girl, Elinda, was startled and stammered, unable to speak.
At that moment, Erinda's father, a middle-aged man, walked over from behind.
"Why are you two talking about crime?"
The middle-aged man had just walked over when his expression turned serious as he asked the question.
Elinda immediately recounted the conversation to her father.
Elinda, who was extremely impulsive and decisive, never imagined that telling this story would result in a scolding from her own father.
As expected, the middle-aged man before him had a serious expression. Although he didn't believe in the possibility of the dead coming back to life, this certainly didn't sound like a good thing. (End of Chapter)
