Chapter 054: “Leave it to me, I’ll take care of this.”

This chapter is translated by Hoenimochi, translation checked by Rin, and edited by Mika.

Lu Yan was a man of action.

This was evident by his following actions: On the first day of his visit, he stabbed two security guards. That was just the start, every night thereafter, he would lurk on the shores of Mermaid Bay, waiting for the opportunity to stab at the new patrolling security guards.

Lu Yan wouldn’t have minded sneaking onto the 7th floor and dealing with the real source of the crime if he hadn’t been worried about the security cameras exposing him or there being too many people for him to fight. 

For several days in a row, security personnel would die on the shores of Mermaid Bay.

Without exception, they were all gnawed to the bone by the Mermaids.

When the feeding was over, the Mermaids sang at night, like a requiem to send the dead on their way.

All the drama caused Mermaid Bay to be temporarily blocked, which led to a lot of complaints from tourists.

The security chief’s surname was Yang and his first name was Tianxin. He was a combat system with a spiritual power threshold of 3,700. He had reached the C-Class standard.

Combat System, C-Class. If he was outside, he would be a highly sought-after person.

He approached Xu Guangyue and quite bluntly grabbed him by the neck to drag him out of the water.

“Six days. Every night the people died, you were the one feeding the fish. I don’t believe you didn’t see anything.”

Xu Guanyue had two sets of breathing systems and could use gills to breathe. Nonetheless, being strangled out of the water, he still felt a long-lost sense of suffocation.

His fishtail swung up wildly in the water, and his sharp nails scratched Yang Tianxin’s neck, but it was hard to shake Yang Tianxin’s iron-like grip even a little.

“I…really…didn’t…see any…anything… “

Xu Guanyue squeezed out a few words from his throat, words as thin and shaky as reeds in the river. 

He was really close to being strangled to death. His eyes were turning in their sockets, rolling upwards. 

Before he could faint, Yang Tianxin finally let him go and gazed down at Xu Guanyue.

On the other party’s fishtail, there were fresh scars of a few pulled-off scales. It seemed that the boss lost his temper again.

Without the scales covering it, the tender pink flesh on the grey fishtail was bubbling with blood in round shapes similar to the tips of fingers that had had their nail caps plucked.

“You don’t have to feed the fish anymore,” he said as he turned around and walked towards the door.

Xu Guanyue was lying on the edge of the pool, coughing in pain, the lingering smell of rust in his throat, “Chief Yang!”

Yang Tianxin paused, turned around, and looked slightly puzzled.

“You should know what the boss has been doing all these years…” Xu Guangyue’s vision blurred, “You’ve helped me several times. You should be able to tell the difference between good and bad, so why do you still help the enemy?”

Yang Tianxin raised his head slightly and thought for a moment, “He may be a bad person to everyone else, but not to me. What’s more, for people like us, are ordinary people really the same kind?”

The boss was right. If he hadn’t met him, he would just be a cripple now with two useless legs, confined to bed.

He was a long-distance runner who lost both of his legs in a car accident.

It was the boss who paid for the installment of the metal prosthesis on him.

“My ability is… the 311st, Lone Wolf.” Yang Tianxin’s expression was nostalgic, “When I used this ability for the first time, I didn’t control it well, and I turned into a giant wolf and couldn’t transform back for a long time. My mother screamed and called the police. Later, although the misunderstanding was solved, it was clear that they looked at me with fear in their eyes. There is no one who won’t be afraid of monsters like us, is there?”

This time, as he left, Yang Tianxin did not look back.

Beneath the black security uniform trousers, a metal ankle with no skin was exposed.

In the days that followed, the System sent Lu Yan alert signals.

Lu Yan had no choice but to hold his ground and had the Ostae stop moving as well.

Day 10.

The preparatory Mermaids grew scales one after another.

The trustee of the Mermaid Club had been in the crowd, promoting how terrible the pollution disease was. How miserable the outcome would be if they were not saved after they were found to be mutated.

So much so that these poor Mermaids with long scales either put on long sleeves in the summer or simply stay out of the house. Every day, they looked forward to an early return trip to the  Pollution Disease Prevention and Control Center to apply for free assistance.

They had national medical insurance — full reimbursement for the treatment of pollution diseases.

After many days of publicity, this incident had become deeply rooted in the hearts of people as much as watching the traffic lights when they were crossing roads.

Lu Yan was going to try to enter their dreams to warn those affected but for some reason, the Kingdom of God skin tattoo wasn’t working — it seemed to have wilted, losing its vitality and refusing to merge with his own body. If it couldn’t be integrated, naturally, he wouldn’t be able to use the ability.

Mermaid Island was filled with a tense atmosphere as if something significant was going to happen. 

Day 14, the last day of the trip, and the day before the cruise returned to port.

The degree of distortion of the preparatory Mermaids was already quite high. Some people had fish scales growing on their inner thighs; their appearance in the mirror was getting more beautiful.

It should have been a pleasure to look good. However, now, the preparatory Mermaids looked at the increasingly unfamiliar faces in the mirror, and they were feeling a sense of panic of not knowing what to do.

Lu Yan looked at the mirror and wiped his dagger. In his ears, the System was feeding him information.

[On the last day, the staff will inject a lethal dose of the drug into the rooms by the ventilation system.]

[After confirming that you are completely unconscious, someone will put you in an airtight iron cage and send it to the auction hall on the 7th floor. On this day, both the boss and the Golden-tailed clients will bid at the auction site.]

[There will be several security officers at the scene, and their threshold of spiritual power is higher than yours. However, you have the 167th ability, Regeneration. As long as you don’t face off against the security chief and trade blows, the chances of winning are still very high.]

The System’s tone was a little nervous, which was rare, [To be honest, I think your strength is still too weak. However, there is no turning back, it seems to be too late to run now.]

Lu Yan put down the knife and remembered the outline of the security team chief’s face in his mind.  

Because he still needed to eat, he went to the restaurant every day. One day, when he was eating, he felt a hawk-like gaze fall on his body.

The System told him that it was because he was very popular with the boss, which made this Mr. Yang a little curious.

Yang Tianxin, a C-level Enlightened person, had a spiritual power threshold of 3,700.

Ability: Lone Wolf.

[This lone wolf doesn’t know that on that rainy night, the person who hit him and ran away in the car accident was the boss. Therefore, he is extremely loyal to the Mermaid Clubhouse.]

The Mermaid Clubhouse had waterways throughout the building to facilitate the transportation of Mermaids.

If it went well, Xu Guanyue would take the Ostae upstream to join the battle.

Even if they were deprived of their ability, the Ostae were not completely powerless to fight. At times like this, an extra point of strength was always better than Lu Yan fighting alone.

Ten o’clock at night.

Lu Yan soaked some water behind his ears. Because of the gill slits, the moist water vapor could keep him awake even when he held his breath.

The ventilation fan was closed. The door locked automatically, and white mist gushed out from the corner of the room.

For fear of being seen with scales on their bodies, the preparatory Mermaids often wear thick clothes. Lu Yan was no exception.

He hid the thin blade between his double layers, then he chose an area of clean carpet and collapsed on the floor.

After about an hour, the door opened.

Two staff members wearing gas masks walked in. They lifted Lu Yan, put him in a cage, and covered him with a white cloth. They then headed for the freight lift.

This elevator could only go up to the fifth floor. After reaching the fifth floor, security guards would take them to the 7th floor for the auction.

The others had genuinely fainted, only Lu Yan was pretending.

According to Lu Yan’s plan, he originally planned to stop pretending when he reached the 7th floor. Using the information gap and time difference, he would take care of the security guards carrying him and then start cleaning up the rubbish in order.

However, there seemed to be a slight change in his plan.

In the elevator, Yang Tianxin, who was supposed to be by the boss’ side, came out.

He glanced at Lu Yan and said to the security guard, “Leave it to me, I’ll take care of this.” 

The author has something to say:

Outside, the dog dragon couldn’t find his master and was already anxious to kill someone.
