Girl, There's Something Wrong With You - Chapter 27

Century Avenue Station is a hub where four subway lines intersect, attracting a large number of puppet people.

With four lines and eight directions, it’s a natural spawning ground where puppet people continuously swarm toward the central platform.

Miss Qingqing quickly set up a large number of “blade traps” on the lowest level. Cheng Jinyang led everyone to stand upside down on the ceiling, then watched as hordes of puppet people, alerted by the noise of the rotating blades, swarmed from both sides of the tunnel and from above the escalators, only to be mercilessly sawed into bloody pieces by the spinning blade traps.

And the blood concentration of everyone began to rise rapidly.

“So, are we just going to stay here and do nothing?” Li Qingwan asked cautiously.

“Not exactly,” Xing Yuanzhi explained, “When a certain number of puppets are killed, sporadic higher-level monsters will appear to attack us. The more we kill, the more higher-level monsters, usually bizarre ones, occasionally ghosts.”

“In the past, we would fight while moving, not staying in one place for too long,” Miss Qingqing added, “But this time it’s not convenient for guerrilla warfare. Let’s see how long we can hold out here.”

After about twenty minutes, Xiao Wangshu, who was maintaining electromagnetic wave monitoring, suddenly alerted, “Upper level, northwest direction, some bizarre creatures appearing, fewer than 10!”

“I’ll take the tunnel,” Cheng Jinyang gestured to Xing Yuanzhi, “Leave the upper levels to Qingqing and Qingwan.”

“Got it,” Chu Qingqing also stood up.

The four split into two groups and went their separate ways, leaving three girls waiting in place. Yang Wangshu continued to maintain electromagnetic wave detection, Wang Wanrou sat daydreaming, and Cui Jinqi, watching Jinyang and Yuanzhi head towards the tunnel direction, muttered somewhat resentfully, “Actually, I can help with the fight too.”

“Yeah,” Wang Wanrou said leisurely, “Go commit suicide.”

Cui Jinqi: …

She puffed up her cheeks and started to get angry.

But both Miss Wang and Xiao Wangshu, who stayed here, didn’t understand the concept of “comforting a girl when she’s angry,” so she could only maintain her pufferfish-like expression, gradually feeling like crying.

At the top of the tunnel, Cheng Jinyang was advancing rapidly when suddenly he heard a demon-like cold voice from Yuanzhi behind him (imagination):

“Li Qingwan… her joining, was it arranged by you?”

Cheng Jinyang calmly turned around, showing a look of three parts surprise and seven parts confusion, then smiled:

“Yuanzhi, if I could arrange who enters my dream, the first thing I’d do is bring all the servants of my family into it. By then, our Cheng family would be the number one clan in the world, with third-grade members as common as dogs and second-grade ones everywhere…”

Xing Yuanzhi remained silent for a while.

“What do you think of Li Qingwan as a person?” After a moment, she asked again.

“She’s a pretty good girl,” Cheng Jinyang replied, “Nice personality.”

Xing Yuanzhi didn’t say anything, still waiting for his follow-up answer.

Cheng Jinyang understood her meaning and smiled, “Of course, whether in temperament or appearance, she can’t compare to my family’s Ah Zhi.”

“I haven’t married into your family yet!” Xing Yuanzhi retorted angrily, correcting him sternly.

But Cheng Jinyang understood that she had already resolved her doubts and echoed with a smile, “Yes, yes, and I can’t call you Ah Zhi… Oh, they’re here.”

In the dark tunnel ahead, four bizarre creatures with sharp claws were swiftly sprinting along both sides. Xing Yuanzhi locked onto their positions and activated an algorithm in her mind.

“Iron Body Bind,” also a large-scale algorithm, had the effect of periodically increasing mass on the target, which, compared to the single weight increase of Quicksand Fields, added the condition of periodic change, making this Debuff even more disgusting.

After all, for the former, monsters could adapt through strong physique, so the latter greatly increased the difficulty of adaptation.

Sure enough, the sprinting speed of those several bizarre creatures immediately significantly slowed down. Cheng Jinyang also extended his arm and activated his ability.

Void Trapping.

So the monsters were once again hung upside down, suspended in mid-air, neither here nor there. Then, suddenly smacking his head, he regretfully said:

“Ah, I forgot to ask Qingqing for the flying swords.”

“I’ll go back and find her,” Xing Yuanzhi turned and left.

“Alright, I’ll wait for you,” Cheng Jinyang restored her gravity to normal first, then proceeded with a series of maneuvers, pushing the monsters around like playing ping pong, knocking them down along with the puppets rushing towards them.

Xing Yuanzhi returned to the Century Avenue platform and saw Li Qingwan spinning like the wind with a big knife, standing clangingly on the escalator, driving back the monsters attacking her surroundings. Three monsters bared their teeth and claws menacingly but couldn’t get close to her.

Miss Qingqing, on the other hand, leisurely watched from the side, occasionally manipulating metal to force back monsters attempting to jump from the edge of the escalator.

“Qingqing, Jinyang is looking for you to get a few flying swords,” Xing Yuanzhi said.

“Take them,” Chu Qingqing condensed four flying swords and tossed them to her.

Xing Yuanzhi caught them, feeling a bit heavy, but thankfully the swords were newly made, without dust or bloodstains, so she quickly lightened her load, holding two in her left arm and two in her right, and hurried towards the tunnel.

Arriving at the tunnel, she suddenly felt her body floating up.

Cheng Jinyang made her float and then slowly returned to the top of the tunnel. The four swords in her arms were dragged by gravity, flying backwards first to leave enough distance to accelerate, then swiftly pierced towards the four monsters hanging upside down.

The swords pierced swiftly into their flesh, and the monsters immediately let out a miserable scream. However, being suspended in mid-air, they had nowhere to leverage their superior physical abilities compared to humans. They were pierced by the flying swords, blood spraying. After being cut back and forth, they soon fell silent.

“If only all demons were as mindless as these,” Cheng Jinyang slowly absorbed the dissipating blood vapor of the dead monsters, feeling emotional.

With such demons, can I handle ten thousand of them bare-handed?

“What about Lili?” a voice suddenly sounded ahead, “Do you wish for Su Lili to be like this too?”

“Jinyang!” Xing Yuanzhi hastily warned, rushing forward with her Iron Body Bind, but the other side seemed unperturbed, slowly emerging from the darkness.

Coming into view for the two, was a strikingly beautiful girl, around 1.7 meters tall, with a perfectly proportioned figure, slender and curvaceous in all the right places. Her face, though devoid of makeup, was delicately refined, flawless as if lightly touched up, finding not a single flaw.

From the position of her facial features, one could barely recognize her as the Ye Ru seen in dreams before.

Or rather, like Ye Ru who had undergone cosmetic surgery for minor adjustments.

“Ye Ru?” Cheng Jinyang frowned.

“That name…” the other side smiled faintly, “It’s been a long time since someone called me that. Hmm, you should call me Ah Si.”

The two of them did not speak. Xing Yuanzhi was as if facing a great enemy, while Cheng Jinyang was calm (but he was as if facing a great enemy in his heart), just staring at the other party who stopped.

They waited for this “Ah Si” to state her intentions.
