Chapter 46: Chapter 44: Guessing Game

The trio from the Special Attack Team took turns explaining what happened.

It turned out that Su Yuqing had once proposed to his girlfriend here.

Thinking it was romantic, he had bought a ton of flowers to decorate the apartment, prepared a heart-shaped cake and a ring, and even invited all of his colleagues.

In the end, his girlfriend, Qingjiang City’s strongest combatant, Ye Zheng, had very seriously rejected him.

Her reason was that she didn’t believe in using a piece of paper to prove their feelings and she also despised so-called surprises. For Ye Zheng, Su Yuqing’s proposal was less of a surprise and more of a shock.

Although the two talked it out and reconciled, being rejected so publicly was a huge blow to Su Yuqing. Every time he thought about it, he was mortified. He didn’t want to come back to the apartment, afraid the memories would come back to haunt him.

Ye Zheng saw Su Yuqing’s hang-up and advised him to sell the apartment. Su Yuqing pretended to be magnanimous, claiming he’d long forgotten such an embarrassing incident, but in reality, he cared more than anyone.

So when Feng Ling suggested Su Yuqing just give her the apartment for free, it was as if Su Yuqing was reliving the nightmare, and for a moment, he couldn’t keep a straight face.

After hearing the gossip, Feng Ling couldn’t help but ask, "So with Ye Zheng transferred to Yunhai City, does that mean they’ve basically been split up?"

"Worried for nothing, aren’t you?" Zhou Diao smiled suggestively. "Our Captain Su’s ability is to create doppelgangers. He can split into as many bodies as he wants."

Feng Ling’s eyes lit up when she heard this.

’That’s a great ability, almost as good as that Mirror Salamander Card.’

"How does he control the different bodies? Do they share the same consciousness? If body A is in Yunhai City and body B is in Qingjiang City, and one is eating while the other is drinking, wouldn’t their actions get mixed up? Wouldn’t their consciousnesses interfere with each other?" she asked curiously.

Zhou Diao shrugged. "You’ll have to ask Old Su about that. I’m not sure either."

He then teased Feng Ling, "You’ve really got no self-awareness, do you? Your Pollution Value is already at 29%, and you’re still coveting other people’s Cards."

Feng Ling just smiled and didn’t deny it.

Just then, Zhou Diao’s phone suddenly rang.

He glanced down at it and grinned. "It’s Old Su."

Zhou Diao answered the call, his eyes flicking over to Feng Ling. After a faint "mhm," he hung up and said to her:

"Old Su wants you to make a post on the Alien Star forums at 8 PM tonight. Just say you’ve arrived in Yunhai City. The network technician has already changed your IP address to Yunhai City. We’re making this act as convincing as possible, see how many Alien Species we can fool."

Feng Ling was quite impressed when she heard this.

’Su Yuqing might not have told me to pack my bags and get lost, but he’s already mentally kicked me out of Qingjiang!’

"Alright, I get it," Feng Ling nodded, then asked Zhou Diao, "So what are your plans now? You’re not leaving?"

"Heh~ Can’t leave. We’re staying right here." Zhou Diao flopped onto the sofa, kicked up his legs, and said with his eyes closed, "Old Su told us to stay and protect you. After all, you’re a rare hidden Boss, aren’t you~"

"More like keep an eye on me, in case I go crazy," Feng Ling said, exasperated. "In that case, you can sort out your own three meals a day, and you’ll have to chip in for utilities. There are a lot of you, you know."

"So naggy~" Zhou Diao waved his hand as if shooing a fly. "Don’t you worry about it. We’ll get reimbursed by the bureau."

Feng Ling sighed.

’It’s so inconvenient not having my own place. I don’t even have a good reason to kick them out.’

She ignored Zhou Diao and returned to her bedroom with a gloomy expression.

A little while later, Huangfu Miaomiao came back, and Feng Ling changed her clothes, preparing to go out.

Zhou Diao was instantly on alert. He did a kip-up, springing up from the sofa. "Where are you going? Old Su said you’re not allowed to run around!"

"He’s not my dad. I don’t have to take everything he says as gospel," Feng Ling retorted casually.

Zhou Diao paused for a second, thinking she had a point. He stretched his arms and said, "It is pretty boring being cooped up in here. Let’s go for a stroll. If we run into any Alien Species, we’ll beat them to a pulp!"

Watching the two of them, Qin Liang hesitated before speaking up, "Shouldn’t we ask Captain Su for instructions first..."

"You guys take your time asking." Feng Ling pocketed her phone and headed out the door.

Huangfu Miaomiao glanced at them, then turned and trotted after Feng Ling.

"Hey, wait for me!" Zhou Diao chased after them.

The three team members left in the room were in a bind.

Xiao Li said, "Her Pollution Value is already 29%. According to regulations..."

Qin Liang sighed. "According to regulations, she should be in an observation room. But even Deputy Zhou isn’t following the rules. How are the three of us supposed to stop them?"

Cao Hongyi put his gun back in its bag. "We should get going too, before we lose them."

The three of them sighed in unison. "Sigh..."

「...」

At the entrance of the residential complex, Feng Ling hailed a taxi and headed for Qingjiang City’s largest amusement park.

The amusement park used to be so crowded it was bursting at the seams. Tickets were sold for day sessions and night sessions, and you could stay and play until 11 PM.

After the Alien Species appeared, Qingjiang City’s nightlife was basically destroyed. The number of people who went out for fun dwindled to almost none. The night session tickets were canceled, and the day session was extended to 7:30 PM.

It was just past 6 PM when Feng Ling arrived.

The sky was still bright. The sun hung in the west, not having set yet, and the temperature hadn’t dropped much.

The amusement park’s colorful flags hung in the scorching air like a row of dead fish, completely motionless.

She bought one adult and one child ticket package at the entrance and led Huangfu Miaomiao toward the Ferris wheel.

To make Huangfu Miaomiao look like a normal child, Feng Ling had forced her to take off her skull mask.

The whole way, Huangfu Miaomiao kept her head down, as if she was too ashamed to face anyone.

This behavior, however, made her seem much more agreeable to Zhou Diao. Following behind the pair, he would occasionally make a few wisecracks, unable to keep his mouth shut.

The three members of the Special Attack Team were still at the entrance, anxiously buying tickets. They were worried the amusement park tickets wouldn’t be reimbursable later.

In the distance, the giant Ferris wheel turned slowly.

Against the azure sky, the brightly painted cabins hanging from the Ferris wheel were particularly eye-catching.

Feng Ling walked toward the Ferris wheel, full of anticipation.

Because it was almost closing time, there was no line. Couples and families of three were continuously getting out of the Ferris wheel cabins, and the staff looked listless and unenergetic, just waiting to get off work.

Feng Ling waited patiently off to the side for a moment.

When Huangfu Miaomiao saw the cabin painted like a green frog was about to reach the bottom, she tugged on Feng Ling’s arm.

"It’s almost here," she said, pointing at the green cabin. "That’s the one."

—The frog in the top hat rushes to the sky.

The corner of Feng Ling’s mouth curled up, and she immediately strode over.

Zhou Diao was confused. He followed behind them, asking, "What ’one’? Who is ’the one’? What are you two talking about?"

"A guessing game," Feng Ling said, looking back at him with a smile. "We’re looking for the frog in the top hat."

’Now that we’ve found the frog, it’s time to find the lone White Bird.’

Feng Ling was full of confidence, feeling like she had already achieved 33% of her victory.

She bent down and got into the cabin with Huangfu Miaomiao. Zhou Diao also squeezed in at the last second. After a jolt, the cabin door closed, and they began to slowly ascend—

Their field of view gradually widened, and the brightly colored rides in the amusement park began to look like toys.

They continued to climb higher.

It felt as if the distance to the blue sky and white clouds was shrinking.

Feng Ling looked left and right, simultaneously urging Huangfu Miaomiao, "Quick, find the White Bird."

"Hey! You two have been acting weird this whole time. What are you really doing?" Zhou Diao was about to lose it.
