Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

Chapter 332: Chapter 196: The Wretch Trapped in a Time Loop (Part 3)

He sneakily glanced around, confirmed there was no one around, and then sneaked up to the billboard in front of the neighbor’s house.

As a suburb, the security here wasn’t great. The billboard had many bullet holes, and due to equipment malfunction, the image frequently flickered and tore.

The billboard showed a voluptuous woman, though a bit older, her heavy makeup could hardly cover the wrinkles. You could tell she must have been quite attractive in her youth. The bottom of the billboard clearly marked the price, suggesting she was in the flesh trade.

Wu Chang looked at He Yun with puzzlement. Although this didn’t align with real-world values, such businesses seemed normal in the underground shelter.

Then he saw the shelter version of Pete shedding clothes and jabbing some indescribable thing into one of the bulletin’s bullet holes.

In the next instant, amid a shrill electronic scream, both the electrocuted shelter version of Pete and the billboard turned black and were motionless.

This was a bit surreal.

Wu Chang: ”Do we need to call an ambulance?”

He Yun nodded and said, ”You can stay here and take care of him.”

”Then forget it.”

Wu Chang immediately refused, quickly catching up with He Yun.

He Yun looked at Wu Chang helplessly and asked, ”What exactly do you want?”

Wu Chang activated Inspiration to its maximum, trying to release as friendly an aura as possible using Spiritual Pressure towards He Yun, grinning harmlessly as he said:

”Actually, because I’m an outsider who just arrived here, and I’m not familiar with the place, without a penny to my name, I need a temporary place to stay.”

He Yun looked at Wu Chang as if she was using an old man’s phone on the subway, unable to believe her ears. What did he mean, he wanted to follow her home?

Before they left the Broken Bottle Bar, they had exchanged just one glance, and now he was sticking to her?

However, what puzzled her was that she usually disliked interacting with outsiders, but she found that Wu Chang wasn’t that repulsive. Conversely, she felt a kind of inexplicable friendliness coming from him, making it hard for her to harden her heart, punch him, and hang him from a streetlight.

”Let’s get something straight first, just one night. You sleep on the sofa in the living room, and tomorrow morning you...”

Before He Yun could finish, Wu Chang eagerly said, ”Then what are we waiting for? Let’s hurry home.”

Watching Wu Chang, who took over and walked ahead of her like an owner, He Yun felt a headache coming on. She felt as if she had picked up a big burden.

He Yun’s residence, even on the outskirts, was in the most remote area.

The location was remote, but the dwelling was anything but modest. It was a two-story small building that looked very exquisite.

It was not only He Yun’s residence but also her workshop. Upon entering, you would see a large workbench and the mechanical arms hanging above it.

On the workbench was a disassembled mecha that seemed to be undergoing optimization and modification.

It turned out He Yun was a technical talent.

”Why did you choose to live here?” Wu Chang looked around and couldn’t help but ask.

Whether it was the dwelling, which looked very upscale, or the lucrative salary earned from the ring, all indicated that He Yun was different from other people living in the suburbs. She wasn’t short of money.

He Yun took a cold beer from the fridge, flipped the cap with her thumb, and said, ”I like peace and quiet, don’t like crowded places.”

Wu Chang naturally moved closer, opened the fridge, and also took out a bottle of beer.

”It’s perfect, I also like peace and quiet, we can keep each other company.”

He Yun: ...

Compared to Wu Chang’s discomfort with the ways of the underground shelter, He Yun felt she was more unaccustomed to Wu Chang.

Are all the current outsiders this shameless?

While they were talking, they heard noise from outside. Wu Chang just peered outside and his gaze met two thick cannon barrels.

The next moment, light and smoke burst from the barrels, and armor-piercing bullets shattered the building’s glass, hitting Wu Chang directly.

In such times, the flaw of having only 50 points in Agility became apparent.

His eyes could clearly see the shells flying, but his brain and body failed to react, leaving him to endure two armor-piercing bullets with his body.

Thankfully, the shield of ’Knight Will Not Die Unarmed’ was thick enough, only sending him flying but not injuring him.

However, before he could get up, he saw two rockets fire from the cannon, coming straight for him.

”Shit!”

He was about to take action when he saw He Yun already standing in front of him. A Light Shield extended from her metal glove, firmly blocking the two rockets.

”Are you okay, huh?” He Yun was about to check Wu Chang’s injuries and turned around, only to find Wu Chang gone.

Turning again, she saw Wu Chang appear behind the two attackers, and in his hand was a massive Golden Two-Handed Sword.

With a swing of the sword, the two attackers, along with their portable mechas, were split in half.

Beyond seven steps, space teleportation is faster.

Within seven steps, he chooses a backstab sneak attack.

Wu Chang flicked away the blood on the golden giant sword, put the sword away, and said, ”Sorry, messed up your lawn.”

He Yun looked at Wu Chang puzzledly, pointing to where he was before and then to his current location.

”How did you get over there?”

Wu Chang: ”I thought about getting there, and then I just got there, can’t you do that?”

He Yun: ...

Like hell I can.

Wu Chang didn’t want to keep the topic on himself and was more interested in discussing He Yun.

He kicked the semi-human body on the ground under his feet, and asked, ”They fired right away, clearly intending to kill—three assassination attempts in one day, who exactly did you provoke?”
