Chapter 16

In many cases, hiding under the bed when faced with a crisis wasn’t a wise choice.

Lu Yan’s life was monotonous but he unexpectedly enjoyed watching horror movies to relieve stress. It wasn’t uncommon for cannon fodders to die after trying to hide under the bed.

But the bed was the only cover he could use in this bedroom. In terms of safety, it was much safer hiding there than hiding in the closet.

He could also choose to be reckless and face the nanny front-on, but his physical stats unfortunately didn’t allow it.

The other party was also holding a large axe. With his spiritual power threshold of a little more than 500 in this dream, and adding to that his small dagger, it might not even be enough to withstand two blows from the other party.

The axe smashed the door into pieces. The nanny reached in and opened the locked door.

The room was empty and dead silent.

The nanny entered with the axe in her hand. The smile on her face continued to grow bigger, “Miss Lu, this time, I have sealed the window under Mr. Lu’s advice. You won’t be able to escape from the window this time.”

Her son seemed to smell the scent belonging to a living person. Pitch-black arms stretched out from the nanny’s pouch, dancing wildly in the air.

“Let me guess. Where could you be?”

After becoming a Pollutant, the nanny had clearly gained a lot of weight. The floor shook a little with every step taken.

This also made Lu Yan a little doubtful of the plan he had prepared…His body had indeed become stronger but he had no idea whether this plan of his was feasible.

He could only do what he could, otherwise Lu Yan really couldn’t think of another way for him to survive this ordeal.

Carrying the axe, the nanny walked over to the bathroom. She pushed the door open, revealing the entire space inside. Lu Yan wasn’t there.

Although the surface of the axe was rusty, it was surprisingly sharp.

“He must be a bad person in your eyes, but who was it that made him become like this? Mr. Lu is a good person, he provided legal aid to my husband who couldn’t get back the money that was owed to him and even gave me a job. But…why should you be the one enjoying all this privilege? Just because you were born into a good family?”

The nanny pulled out the axe and slowly walked towards the princess bed in the corner of the bedroom.

Lu Yan could see very clearly a pair of bloated feet approaching him.

He clenched tightly onto the chain in his hand. He had already rehearsed those actions in his mind hundreds of times, including what to do in the face of a sudden change in circumstances…

But, in this dream, he only had one chance.

The nanny’s figure was getting closer and closer. Her ankles were particularly thick.

Lu Yan calculated the distance in his mind and threw out a circle made from the metal chain from under the bed.

The nanny’s foot stepped right into it. The unusual change made her lower her head in confusion.

Thanks to the mutation degree that had soared to more than 80 in this dream, Lu Yan’s current reaction time was faster than that of an Anura. He shot out from under the bed like an arrow and had already ran to the other side of the room in less than a few breaths.

When he felt the chain tightening, Lu Yan pulled it hard towards himself without any hesitation.

People with a large build are particularly prone to losing balance. Caught off guard, the nanny tripped and fell to the ground, her axe also landing onto the ground with a loud thud.

The nanny was in pain. A loud roar escaped from the depths of her throat. Lu Yan stepped forward with his dagger. This was his first time seeing this monster in its entirety.

It was an obese woman who was about two metres tall. Her entire body was covered in a thick layer of fat and her stomach was bulging out so much, it seemed as if there was another person inside.

Lu Yan had no doubt that if he stabbed her with his dagger, he would only be able to pierce into the fatty layer on the surface.

So he had to change his plan and he chose to stab the nanny’s eyes with the dagger.

The nanny was quite heavy and she was also very strong, but she didn’t look like she would be very good at fighting.

He knew that this was a ‘you die or I die’ situation so he showed no mercy to the other party. He didn’t stop even when the nanny grabbed his neck.

The sharp blade pierced her eyes and the blood, which had already turned black and smelly, spattered all over Lu Yan’s hands.

“Ahhh!!!”

The nanny covered her eyes and screamed in agony. She didn’t expect Lu Yan to resist so fiercely.

Two arms also reached out from her belly pouch and, in accordance to the mother’s will, he firmly grasped Lu Yan’s waist.

Icy cold air belonging to a corpse invaded his body. At that moment, half of Lu Yan’s body was paralysed from the cold.

The Kingfish in his body had never been this active before. A gnarly looking mouth opened on Lu Yan’s palm and bit off the son’s shrivelled black arms.

A completely different scream belonging to a man sounded in the bedroom. Both arms retracted in pain.

Compared to the mother, the Pollutant in the pouch was a lot weaker. After all, it was still in the middle of growing and hadn’t fully developed.

The mouth chewed a few times but, probably because it felt it tasted bad, it spat the scrawny hands back out.

He didn’t know if it was just his imagination but Lu Yan thought he even heard it gag.

“You damn bitch!” The nanny grabbed the chain and flew into a rage, “You actually dare hurt my son. I’m going to kill you!”

Because her son was hurt, the nanny appeared considerably weaker.

Lu Yan realised something: She was a pregnant woman.

Under these conditions, there was no better weakness than her stomach.

Lu Yan pulled out his dagger and stabbed it into her stomach.

The nanny subconsciously wanted to protect the baby in her belly but she soon realised that only by getting rid of Lu Yan could she better protect her child. She proceeded to ignore the possibility of her son getting hurt and pounced onto Lu Yan.

Lu Yan dodged like a slippery fish, but before he could rejoice, he was pulled back by the nanny using the chain.

Dammit…He didn’t expect that the first time he would be pulled back by his ankles like this would happen in a situation other than in bed.

Lu Yan couldn’t remove the chains so he and the nanny were basically ‘grasshoppers tied to the same rope’. It had tripped the nanny before but now it was the thing restraining him.

Speaking honestly, it wasn’t a very good method, but Lu Yan couldn’t think of another way to break this deadlock.

Too weak and powerless.

Lu Yan could deeply relate to the helplessness in that line.

The nanny grabbed his neck and glared at him with bloodshot eyes, her expression crazed. If Lu Yan’s body hadn’t been strengthened, his neck probably would’ve already snapped.

The nanny gasped in pain, her expression terrifying, “You bitch, I finally caught you, Let’s see where you can run now!”

She grabbed Lu Yan’s neck with one hand and reached for the giant axe with the other.

The moment the axe was about to fall, Lu Yan subconsciously closed his eyes. It had nothing to do with fear, it was a completely instinctive reaction of the body.

Then, he choked on the blood that splattered onto his face.

The nanny’s head hit Lu Yan’s face. It hurt a lot.

Lu Yan caught his breath and let out a few painful coughs.

“Young lady, where’s your guardian?” A lazy voice came from above his head.

Lu Yan sat up and looked up at the person who appeared.

He was very tall. Lu Yan himself was 1.8 metres and the person in front of him was at least half a head taller than him.

It stood to reason that people who are very tall would inevitably appear strong, but the other party had a slender figure and gave off a graceful air, like a shark in the sea.

He had a long black sword hanging from his waist and a pair of excessively bright golden eyes.

While he was assessing Tang Xun’an, the other party was also assessing him.

A report from his detector sounded in Tang Xun’an’s earpiece, “Target’s mutation degree: 81.7.”

It actually wasn’t a Pollutant.

Tang Xun’an had called him ‘young lady’.

Lu Yan looked down at himself. He felt that with his height, appearance and the slight bulge at his crotch, no matter how you looked at it, it would be impossible for him to be mistaken for a girl.

Considering his identity in this dream, Lu Yan reasonably speculated that he probably looked like a girl to others.

The Kingfish that had been quietly lurking under his skin for some reason became restless. Lu Yan and the Kingfish were of one body so he could clearly sense the fear coming from the Kingfish.

This kind of fear had never appeared even when he was facing Lu Jiahe.

As a result, Lu Yan’s eyes inevitably showed some vigilance.

Tang Xun’an waited for a long time but didn’t receive a response from Lu Yan. He glanced over him and saw the familiar detector on his wrist.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, “Oh, a colleague? Why haven’t I seen you before?”

It would be reasonable to say that if a person could reach this level in the dream, even if they weren’t a colleague, they wouldn’t be that bad in terms of skills. Tang Xun’an however searched through his memories for a long time, recalling all the powerful female Enlighteneds he knew, but none of them looked like Lu Yan.

From Tang Xun’an’s point of view, the girl in front of him was pretty good-looking, very much like the campus belle in white from the class next door during his high school days. Even if he only saw her photo, it would be hard for it not to leave an impression on him.

Lu Yan’s hand quietly grabbed the dagger behind him, “Who are you?”

Tang Xun’an was stunned, “You don’t know me? Were all those years of hard work all for nothing?”

His technique was very professional.

“Doesn’t it hurt? I have a tranquilliser here.” Tang Xun’an handed over a cigarette, “It has no tar or nicotine, it’s lychee flavour. It’s made to look like a cigarette because it’s small and easy to carry around.”

Lu Yan, “No need.”

This young lady was quite vigilant.

But Tang Xun’an thought of the news articles he occasionally came across when surfing the internet and felt that it was understandable.

He thought for a moment and took out his card from his pocket, “Here, take a look. Where’s yours?”

It was the work permit issued by the Pollution Disease Centre.

Lu Yan took a look. There were only two lines on the front.

Tang Xun’an.

S-Class Enlightened.

Below it was his employee number, fingerprint and DNA code.

Lu Yan found his own and gave it to him.

“You’re only F-Class. You must have just joined. You probably haven’t even undergone training so it’s understandable for you not to know me.” Tang Xun’an was relieved, “Who took your ID photo? It’s terrible. They made you look like a man.”

Lu Yan hesitated to speak, “……”

He didn’t really want to explain.

Tang Xun’an, “Although the problem seems to have been dealt with, I came because the pollution level was the highest here.”

He pointed at the nanny on the ground, “I didn’t even need to draw my sword to kill this thing. I don’t think it is the boss of the final layer of the Wall of Resentment.”

Wall of Resentment…?

Lu Yan thought of something. He looked over at the blood-stained walls.

It was completely covered in blood, even concealing the words that were originally on it: Save me.

“Lin Sinan and I were on a mission. I took a nap and found myself here when I woke up. The Pollutant with the highest pollution level here is….”

Before Lu Yan could finish speaking, Tang Xun’an suddenly stretched out a finger and gently pressed it against his lips.

The surrounding temperature began to rise.

In Lu Yan’s eyes, the world was tinged with red.

This red light was getting closer.

The dark night seemed like it was lit up by shooting stars —-No, not shooting stars, it might be more appropriate to describe it as a meteorite.

But that wasn’t a meteorite. It was a person engulfed in fire.

It had no facial features and its entire body was scorched black. It was no different from the scorched bodies he saw before by the side of the road.

As it got closer, everything around it also got scorched, including the plants.

Only the white bony spurs sticking out from its dark body allowed Lu Yan to realise something: This was Lu Jiahe.

This was Big Brother.

He received the text message and didn’t dare delay.

But if it wasn’t for Tang Xun’an, he would have been a little too late. He would have lost his younger sister again, just like many years ago.

Lu Jiahe seemed to recall something in his chaotic mind but he couldn’t seem to catch onto it. Right now, he only had one thought left in his mind.

The flames melted half of the wall. Even without facial features, Lu Yan could sense Big Brother’s undisguised murderous intent. Especially when he saw the blood on Lu Yan, the murderous intent was strong enough to take physical form.

In the city, except for where Lu Yan was, everywhere else erupted in fire.

Lu Jiahe looked at Tang Xun’an and asked darkly, “Were you the one who hurt her?”

Tang Xun’an narrowed his eyes slightly and a hint of excitement flashed across it. It was his thirst for battle.

He subconsciously shielded Lu Yan behind him and held Huang Chen in front of him, “It wasn’t me, but you are qualified enough to make me draw my sword.”
