Chapter 483: Chapter 176: Community Iron Fist, No One to Back You Up! (Part 2)

Mu Shuang’s mind was somewhat blank, until Er Long dragged her into the detention room, she slowly regained her senses.

The air in the detention room carried a scent of rust and sweat, along with a barely noticeable smell of excrement.

In the corner, four unfortunates bound like her were curled up.

Seeing her enter, the eyes of the four appeared vacant, suddenly revealing a bizarre smile, repeating in unison:

"I just came to have a look!"

Hmm?

Mu Shuang’s expression paused, her brows slightly furrowed; such highly consistent actions and vacant expressions were not the state a normal human should have.

She almost immediately judged that there’s a high probability these four were influenced by a source of infection.

Dull Bird?

Sinister Bug?

Dumbing Ant?

For someone to exhibit such a vacant behavior, it could basically be narrowed down to these three types.

Relating to how the four previously acted in a sneaky manner, Mu Shuang swiftly excluded the former.

The effect time of Dull Bird lasts up to 180 days, causing the daze time to become longer until they can’t snap out of it for the last three to five days.

"Hey? What do you want to see?"

"I..." The four paused, speaking again in unison, "I want to see what’s unusual about Cheng Ye."

Alright, Dumbing Ants can be excluded as well.

People parasitized by this bug experience brain capacity shrinking into madness, the more they think the faster the degradation, impossible for the four’s answers to be so precise.

"Sinister Bug..." she murmured softly, a hint of realization flashed in her eyes, "Turns out they’re mercenaries with a mission!"

Lately, indeed many killers and mercenaries infiltrated the area surrounding Happiness City.

The Hundred Ghosts Gang’s underlings were killed quite a lot by these people, each Ghost Head patrolled furiously capturing people.

Didn’t expect this group to be so bold, they dared to venture inside Happiness City.

Do they want to die?

But relating the mission target to Cheng Ye, Mu Shuang could understand their gamble.

Because Cheng Ye exhibited strength no more than a fragile Intern Inspector.

Even though she had seen that night when Cheng Ye battled the Fusion Body, it was difficult to link him with that "monster" just now.

Because in the video, Cheng Ye displayed someone who had just started practicing martial arts, with some intelligence and courage, a normal person.

Yet his recent performance was an undeniable Embryo Realm combat power.

Moreover, his fighting style was vastly different from the one with the Fusion Body at night.

That reckless fighting style, and that brute force ignoring pain, reminded her of the Red Blood Army seen in Guang Province.

Not seeking technique, just the fastest way to subdue the enemy, even if it means mutual destruction.

"But the outbreak of Stand-In Starfish was just a month ago..."

Mu Shuang couldn’t help shaking her head.

She had never seen anyone capable of such a transformation within a month.

Unless... it was during early New Era when superpower users awakened overnight, their combat strength leap drastically.

Regarding Cheng Ye’s seeming lack of pain sensation feature, she was thoughtful.

After more than half an hour. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Mu Shuang repeatedly retraced today’s disguise details but couldn’t figure out where the flaw was.

She was certain that Building 7 absolutely hadn’t any bug installed inside nor any informants.

Yet how did Cheng Ye confirm she was on the fourth floor and accurately pointed to which room?

"Come out, the adult wants to interrogate you!"

The iron door of the detention room opened, Long walked in wearing a short shirt, with uncontainable excitement on his face.

He glanced at the vacant four in the corner, then looked at Mu Shuang, his eyes seemed to view her as a precious "trophy."

This expression made Mu Shuang slightly relieved.

Apparently her identity hasn’t been exposed yet.

At the same time, she was also a bit curious about how Inspector Cheng would interrogate her.

Would it be about the four’s vacant behavior? Or questioning why she was secretly surveilling him?

Or like Jiang Chuan, asking irrelevant questions, hitting her with a baffling "combo punch"?

Dragged by Long at the iron chain, passing by those four men, she heard them repeat in unison, "See the unusual... see the unusual..."

In an instant, Mu Shuang shivered, understanding why Cheng Ye was listed as a mission target.

No time to pause for thinking, in the neighboring interrogation room, Cheng Ye had changed into clean clothes, sitting behind the iron desk.

He turned his head, their eyes met.

Again, that enigmatic smile, as if facing... Ding Yishan?

These Inspectors who can hold their positions, none of them are easy to deal with!

"Long, release the upper half, go pour a cup of water," Cheng Ye instructed.

"Yes, sir."

The upper part of the chain was released, Mu Shuang moved her shoulder, a slight cough tugged painfully at her ribs.

Sensing briefly, they were indeed fractured, but luckily a single location, no displacement; immobilization for a week then activity, rest for three to five weeks before healing.

Quickly Long brought a tin cup of warm water, placed in front of her as Cheng Ye intended.

"Drink, I feel you should be quite thirsty."

"How did you know?" Mu Shuang raised an eyebrow.

"I said, you are more curious than the previous four people."

Cheng Ye slightly shook his head, gesturing "please."

Mu Shuang paused briefly, picking up the tin cup and drank it in one go, without wondering if there was poison or any special substance mixed within.

"Refill a cup for her again."

The second cup of water was brought, Mu Shuang drank it directly, further confused.

Once Long took away the cup, Cheng Ye’s finger tapped lightly on the tabletop, "I want to ask you a question."
