CHAPTER 496: CHAPTER 236 CONFUSION

I’m back.

Fang Yu looked at the room hastily left and still a mess.

He quickly tidied up a bit, then went to make some food.

After dinner, he felt revived.

Back in his room, he prepared to log into the game.

There wasn’t much he could do about Sister Jin’s situation.

At most, he could take over for Sister Jin when she was too exhausted.

Or after the fugitive driver was caught, accompany Sister Jin to go through the legal process.

That was all the help he could offer.

The sudden turn of events really made Fang Yu feel the unpredictability of life.

Compared with the cruel reality, everything in the game felt dreamlike and pleasant.

At least in the game, you’re not afraid of losing a leg, and you can resurrect and start over after death.

With a sigh, Fang Yu put on the gaming helmet.

...

Sweet Flower Lane.

Fang Yu opened his eyes.

He immediately felt the thick Evil Qi entwined around his body, as intense as ever.

Since he couldn’t see any specific values, Fang Yu wasn’t clear about the extent of it.

If it hadn’t been for Brother Qing helping to mask his Qi, Fang Yu would have suspected that his character could have been eaten by a Great Demon while asleep after logging out of the game.

If that happened, all his efforts over the past month would have been in vain.

On further thought, Fang Yu realized that the priority right now was to find a way to deal with the Evil Qi and the so-called Demon Energy. Everything else seemed secondary.

The first person Fang Yu thought of was Ding Hui.

This guy was like Doraemon to him, knew everything.

She should have some research on Evil Qi and such.

But this person was currently in seclusion, and he didn’t know if she had any time.

He would go to the Research Demon Mansion later to see her.

He also had Brother Qing’s big red beans with him, to have her identify what kind of good stuff it was.

Besides Ding Hui, Fang Yu also thought of Monk Quan Heng.

Although Monk Quan Heng was only a Thousand Blood, he was a genuine Believer, and seemed to have a lot of understanding of these things.

Also, he had to attend the demon meeting to claim the newly recruited minions.

And he hadn’t been to the Prison in a long time. With soaring Evil Qi, random killing was not an option. He could only look for in-hide demons to eliminate a few.

So, the problem still lay with the Evil Qi.

Fang Yu sighed, pushed open the room door, and found Diao Ruru sitting at the dining table, daydreaming and seemingly out of touch with reality.

Fang Yu called out to her.

"Sister."

The sudden voice seemed to startle Diao Ruru.

Relaxing after seeing it was Fang Yu, she responded.

"You’re awake."

"Yeah, just woke up, slept a bit too long. What’s up with you? So engrossed in your thoughts?"

Fang Yu asked curiously.

Hearing Fang Yu ask, Diao Ruru sighed.

"Aunt Chen next door, you know, the one who sells eggs at the market, her family has a larger house. We used to play hide and seek there when we were young, and you always sneaked into their place to hide. I heard that last night, Aunt Chen’s whole family was killed by demons! Now, the whole place is sealed off by the Foolish Underworld, and they’re going house to house investigating."

Diao Ruru continued with sadness, "Aunt Chen was a good person... a good person..."

Upon hearing this, the scene from the rainy night the day before immediately flooded Fang Yu’s mind.

Aunt Chen, turning into a demon, devouring her family, yet respectfully speaking to him and being slain by him in return.

It felt strange.

But... a demon is a demon.

That’s not something Fang Yu could concern himself with.

They had eaten humans right in front of him, lurking right next door. There was no way he would hold back. They had to be eliminated.

Moreover, Fang Yu noticed... the red steam emanating from that individual.

Fang Yu had only seen a demon carrying red steam when he first entered the game, at the Ronghua Dyeing Factory.

That was clearly a subordinate of the Red Moon Demon.

Fang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.

What’s the meaning of the Red Moon Demon’s minion being dispatched to his side?

To monitor me? Or planning to take action against Sister?

How many spies had the Red Moon Demon managed to insert among his underlings?

Fang Yu didn’t expect that while being an insider himself due to becoming a demon tail, the Red Moon Demon, another demon tail kind, had implanted spies among his followers.

Infernal Affairs within Infernal Affairs?

Well, that’s the way it is.

But if Fang Yu were to check, it wouldn’t be easy to figure out which demons were with the Red Moon Demon and which were with other demons.

When you have many underlings, it’s like that - impossible to manage them all. Just make sure they don’t cause trouble.

Originally Fang Yu was in a dilemma about whether to look for a new place for Sister to live outside or to move her into the Foolish Underworld.

Now there was no need to wonder.

Move directly into the house of the Foolish Underworld.

Although he was covered by the Green Demon above, and below had a bunch of minions leading.

But with an unfamiliar peer next door who had his eye on you, occasionally having a spy inserted among your crew.

Leaving Sister outside could lead to some sightless demon taking action against her. Or even directly being targeted by malicious intent meant for himself. That would be all trouble.

While staying in the Foolish Underworld, at least the surrounding areas were all humans, except for inside agents like Che Linfang, no demons lurking.

Also, the demons lurking in the Foolish Underworld, they were all under his watch, and no one would dare mess around. Naturally, safety was greatly increased.

Thinking of this.

"Sister, let’s move today."

"Ah?"

Diao Ruru was taken aback.

Although it was sudden, she understood.

Coming to her senses, she hesitated, then nodded slightly.

"Where are we moving to?"

"To the Foolish Underworld, we’ve been allocated a house, it’s perfect for us to move in, plus it’s safe."

"Then, then I’ll find some people to help move the stuff..."

"No need, Sister, just direct things from here, I’ll arrange the manpower."
