Chapter 271
Chapter 271
Of course, Little System had only sensed that something was wrong. Since it did have a problem, it had made no preparations. It simply had not expected 54250 to turn Liu Ye into a child. Even the young Liu Ye had given it quite a fright.
But letting that fellow have his way would not do. Little System had nearly been tricked, after all. Being tricked by Liu Ye was one thing, but why should it let that fellow trick it? Who did that fellow think he was, daring to mess with it like Liu Ye did?
So it immediately made an adjustment.
Liu Ye and the others, who should have returned to reality at once, were delayed by three days.
Three days later, Wang Xu sat in his office. The Priest’s corpse lay beside him. Over those three days, Wang Xu had reclaimed the Mouth of Lies from him.
To begin the mission, Wang Xu had given up everything. The stomach was his origin, and all the other Fiends within him had dissipated. Fortunately, he could still reacquire them through the mission.
He checked the time. Liu Ye should already have been taken away by headquarters, so Wang Xu addressed the dark figure beside him.
“Shadow.”
“Here!”
The dark figure answered from beside him.
“Begin the plan!”
“Yes!”
The shadow rapidly spread open. A black boundary expanded outward from Zhongxin Building.
Only then did Liu Ye and the others awaken in the psychiatric hospital.
“Strange. Why do I feel like I had a dream? I dreamed I’d turned back into a child.”
The mention of his childhood made Liu Ye sigh.
“I’m serious. When I was little, I was such an honest kid. Everyone in all the nearby villages said I was well behaved.”
Everyone: “…”
Right. Had everyone who said otherwise died?
Liu Ye scratched his head. Then he looked at Xiaoshuai and the others and said excitedly,
“Fei, I dreamed about all of you too. Seriously, we had so much fun in that dream.”
Everyone: “…”
Fun? They had been fighting for their lives every second.
“Huh? John? Why do you look younger?”
“Uh, this is his son, young John!”
Young John: “…”
What kind of awful name was that?
“Goodness, my dear nephew! This is so sudden that I didn’t bring you a welcome gift. But don’t worry. Your uncle made money this time. Once I withdraw it, I’ll buy you whatever you want!”
Liu Ye spoke with great confidence. During the livestream, gifts had poured in nonstop. He estimated he had earned tens of thousands! Hmph. Forget buying a house; he could even afford to take a wife now.
Young John: “…”
Dawn had already broken outside. Then he suddenly spotted a gigantic human-head balloon beyond the window.
Even more strangely, the face on that balloon looked exactly like Xiaoshuai.
“What?”
Alarm bells rang in Xiaoshuai’s mind. Then Liu Ye exclaimed beside him,
“Fei, your son is flying in the sky!”
Xiaoshuai: “…”
“Wait. When did you have a son?”
“Brother! I just married your sister! Where would I get a son?”
Liu Ye fell silent for a moment, then roared furiously,
“You were married before?!”
Xiaoshuai: “…”
Another bizarre label had been added to him.
Just then, several more human-head balloons appeared beside the first. Their faces looked remarkably like Brother Biao and the others.
“Look over there!”
Xiao Long pointed outside the window in terror.
Xiaoshuai hurriedly looked and saw countless people dangling in the sky from balloons.
“Has the Suicide Alliance struck again?”
Liu Ye shouted in shock, then became furious. Those were human lives!
“I’ll stop them this time! I hate people who treat human life like nothing!”
Liu Ye grew unusually serious.
Everyone: “…”
He was hardly any better!
“Oh no! Those balloons are coming inside!”
Xiao Hu cried in terror. The human-head balloons wore eerie smiles as they squeezed through the shattered windows.
“Run!”
Everyone immediately tried to flee, only to hear Liu Ye say in surprise,
“So they really are balloons? You scared me. Fei, I was wondering how you had such a huge son.”
Liu Ye grabbed the balloon and kept smacking it. It truly was quite lifelike.
Everyone watched as the balloon wailed in Liu Ye’s hands. In moments, its face was bruised and swollen, and it screamed furiously. Unfortunately, it could not struggle at all in his grip.
It immediately called for its companions. But as soon as it cried out, it saw the other human-head balloons tangled together. At the center was a balloon with Liu Ye’s head. Instead of the eerie, terrifying expressions of the others, its face displayed a pure, vacant stupidity.
It was precisely because of that balloon that all the others had become tangled. At last, they lost their tempers and unleashed piercing howls!
Countless human-head balloons surged inside. Too many entered at once, and at an awkward angle. As a result… they got stuck.
Xiaoshuai’s balloon: “…”
Were they here to make a fool of him? What kind of joke was this? They got stuck coming through a doorway? Why didn’t they just crush one another until they burst?
Liu Ye immediately spotted the balloon with his own head. He pulled it over, eyes shining.
“Hey, this is fun! Fei, look! It looks just like me!”
Liu Ye and his balloon both wore the same foolish grin.
Everyone: “…”
Brother, that was terrifying. One Liu Ye was already more than enough!
The balloons outside continued forcing their way in. Finally, one reached its limit.
Bang!
Blood sprayed everywhere. That small explosion triggered a chain reaction, and every balloon burst in succession.
Xiaoshuai’s balloon: “…”
Liu Ye’s heart ached at the sight. He had never imagined the Suicide Alliance’s products would be so unyielding that they would commit suicide themselves.
Modern technology truly was impressive. How had they made these things?
Liu Ye pressed gently.
Pop!
The Xiaoshuai balloon in his hand instantly exploded!
Liu Ye: “…”
“Hey, hurry and collect the remaining balloons. One of you might be able to use them at your wedding someday!”
Everyone: “…”
Wonderful. None of them planned to marry in this lifetime.
“Brother Liu, this isn’t the time for that. The Suicide Alliance has launched a full-scale invasion. The entire city may be in danger.”
“It’s that serious?”
“Yes, Brother Liu. You’re the only one who can save our city now.”
The burden on Liu Ye’s shoulders suddenly felt much heavier. It seemed the time had come to settle things with the Suicide Alliance once and for all.
