Enemies Are All Nourishment for My Fungi-Chapter 182: A Minor Conflict at Six Bridge Park (1)

At five in the evening, Ye Nai used the landline in her room to call the boys’ room and told them to come downstairs for dinner.

During the meal, she showed them the photo of Jiang Hui and his three companions that she had deliberately saved on her phone for identification, confirming it was indeed the four of them.

"Big sister is so awesome, she found the people in just one night."

"Having full names makes it easy to search. You guys stay in the hotel, don’t follow me, got it?"

"Mm-hmm, big sister, don’t worry, we’ll definitely stay in the hotel and not hold you back."

The twins thumped their chests in promise, and only then did Ye Nai end the topic and leave the hotel after dinner.

Before she left, she didn’t hurry the boys to go back up to their room. Teenage boys need freedom, and it’s normal for everyone to say one thing and do another; she’s not eager to be disliked.

The two boys watched big sister’s departing figure leave the hotel. They actually wanted to follow her to Six Bridge Park, but without money in their pockets, they couldn’t take a ride, and it was too hot to go outside. Thinking about it, staying in their room was more comfortable, with air conditioning and TV, and they still hadn’t finished the ice cream they bought yesterday.

Ye Nai left the hotel, walked to the intersection ahead, took out her electric bike, and followed the phone’s navigation to Six Bridge Park.

The navigation showed ten kilometers, and given the traffic conditions on Saturday before six o’clock, it took Ye Nai just over half an hour to see the park across the road.

She still randomly turned into a small path nearby to store the electric bike, and then walked out to cross the road to the park.

By this time, there was no longer any trace of residents in the park; instead, blonde ruffians and purple-haired delinquent girls hung around in small groups chatting and horsing around, every one of them as thin as a rail, especially a few shirtless ones with clearly visible ribs.

Ye Nai walked into the park without a sideways glance, determined to walk every path inside for real.

After truly making a round, Ye Nai began to walk a second time.

To anyone observing, she appeared to be a listless woman looping around the park, and none of the loafing ruffians and delinquents sitting by the road gave her much attention. Most would glance once and look away, then scoff.

But soon after, they lost consciousness.

Ye Nai’s first round wasn’t fruitless; besides familiarizing herself with the layout, she also observed the surrounding surveillance.

In the end, she realized she had overestimated this community park, which couldn’t afford surveillance at all.

Not a single camera.

With that knowledge, she was relieved; if a fight broke out, it wouldn’t be recorded.

She arrived at the park’s central basketball court and found an empty bench to sit on, taking out a handheld console to play Bubble Bobble, waiting for eight o’clock to come.

As it grew darker, the park became livelier. The basketball court was surrounded by people, every available bench was full, except for the one Ye Nai sat on, with many people standing behind her, watching her game, occasionally throwing in a comment or two.

Some were just looking for a bit of fun, while others, after watching for a while, became covetous.

Ye Nai glanced at the time; it was half-past seven. She finished the level she was on and then quit the game.

Once she stopped playing, the two delinquents behind her suddenly reached out to grab the console.

Ye Nai’s fingers loosened, the console entered the "Space," and with her now-free hands, she grabbed an arm with each, not moving from her seat. She summoned her strength from her waist and, like flinging a towel, powerfully snapped them away.

The two delinquents behind her were thrown into the air by her sheer strength, crashing onto the ground and convulsing a couple of times before lying still.

"Ah!"

The onlooking ruffians and delinquents screamed in panic, looking at Ye Nai with utter fear.

"Anyone else coming?"

Now at half-past seven, if Jiang Hui’s little gang really did arrange to meet the twins here, she could wait for them to show up.

"Are they dead?"

The crowd around observed for a while until someone finally gathered the courage to ask.

"No."

Ye Nai replied coolly.

"Are you an Awakener? Just now, the video game machine disappeared."

"Of course I am."

The punks and tomboys quickly backed away several steps, and after a while, some kids with dyed hair scurried out from behind the crowd, propping up their fainted friend and retreating.

Before they left, they didn’t forget to nod and bow apologetically to Ye Nai.

Ye Nai sat without moving, not bothering too much about them.

Having watched an eventful scene, the punks and tomboys soon forgot about the incident. In their eyes, it was more unusual for a day to pass in the park without a fight happening.

Of course, this recent event was indeed an odd one.

An Awakener who was exceptionally good at fighting had arrived.

After a short lull of about ten minutes on the basketball court, the punks and tomboys saw that the big boss was just sitting there doing nothing. Based on their limited experience, they guessed he must be waiting for someone, so as long as they didn’t provoke him, they’d be fine. Soon, the place livened up again, with two teams coming out to play three-on-three basketball, and a crowd cheering on from the sidelines.

Ye Nai, too, was watching from the sidelines. She was enjoying the game quite a bit until a foul move resulted in the six players on the court throwing down the ball, bumping and pushing each other, which started an argument and shoving match. Their friends didn’t try to put out the fire but rather fanned the flames, and it looked like it was going to escalate into a brawl.

Just then, the sharp-eared Ye Nai suddenly heard two familiar names.

People were talking about Ye Yong and Ye Ji.

She immediately looked in the direction of the sound.

She saw a small group of four standing under a tree, chatting away.

She had been focused on the game earlier and hadn’t noticed them, but now that the game might lead to a fight, they had inadvertently revealed themselves.

"Jiang Hui, do you think those twins will come?"

"They dare not come and see, next week’s tests, as soon as they show up at school we’ll take care of them," said the boy called Jiang Hui, lifting his neck like a fighting cock.

"Hmph, they think they’re fine just because they’re not at school, daring to say one thing and do another. Is someone giving them courage?"

"Who’s giving them courage? We have their phones and no one has shown up."

"Heh, eight hundred yuan a month, huh? Two people, that’s one thousand six hundred. Sure got money."

"Tch, that money isn’t all for us." Brother Haozi’s share can’t be shorted.

"That’s true, that’s true."

"Next semester, when school starts, it’ll be our turn to call the shots. Brother Haozi is going to be off-campus, he can’t control school matters anymore."

"You got a brain or not? He knows he can’t meddle anymore, that’s why he’s willing to share the money with us, to make us behave and work for him. As long as he’s stable up there, we can be just like him in the future, you understand?"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, Jiang Hui knows the most. Now that you explain it, I get it."

As they talked, Ye Nai instantly figured out the situation, and their looks matched the photos in her phone as well.

She put away her phone and walked over unhurriedly.

In the few hours that had passed, the fungus that had taken root and grown on the park’s greenery quietly released spores beneath the four of them, which entered their bodies with their breaths.

"Excuse me, fellow students, I’d like to ask about something."

Ye Nai started with courtesy, standing not far from them with a smile.

This not-so-far distance was measured by how close she needed to be to kick someone.
