This Curse Is Just Awesome

Chapter 332: Investigating — Chen Yu (5)

Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL

He rejected the invitation of Ma Li and Ma Yan, the two ‘phoenixes’.

Chen Yu put his hands in his pockets and turned to leave the villa area.

He walked leisurely on the streets of Qingcheng.

On both sides of the streets, the streetlights were dim.

The pedestrians were sparse, and the night mist was slightly cool.

The snow windows were fireflies, and the wind curtains were green.

The wind was blowing, and only the camphor tree was left...

Without realizing it, Chen Yu walked into the small garden and stopped in front of a huge camphor tree.

He raised his head and observed.

A familiar feeling washed over him.

Reaching out, Chen Yu wiped off the frost and dust on the bark, revealing the clear knife marks.

That was carved twenty years ago by Sister Qi and her husband.

More than twenty summers and winters had changed, but they could not erase the marks of the knife marks...

It could be imagined... at that time, the husband and wife had ‘killed’ each other.

“Snatching the bamboo shoots.”

Chen Yu sighed. “I almost cut it off.”

Tree: “...”

“It’s time...” Chen Yu’s gaze wandered. “Let’s see Sister Qi...”

With that thought in mind, he did what he wanted.

He wiped off the stain on his hand and walked straight to Sister Qi’s cigarette shop.

After passing through two streets, he soon arrived at Sister Qi’s door.

Under the plaque, there was still the same glass window.

In the window, there was still a batch of the same cigarettes.

However, the window frames were covered in dust.

It looked like it had been a long time since someone cleaned them up.

After standing in place and hesitating for a moment, Chen Yu walked to the door and knocked lightly three times.

Knock, knock, knock!

“...”

Knock, knock. He knocked two more times.

“...”

There was no response in the room.

Chen Yu frowned and walked around the cigarette shop a few times. He found that every light was off.

There was no sign of anyone walking around.

There was indeed no one inside.

“Eh?”

“Where is she?”

Scratching his ear, he bent his knees and jumped onto the second-floor balcony. He leaned against the window and looked inside.

As expected.

The lights were also turned off on the second floor.

Knock, knock!

Not giving up, he knocked on the window. Seeing that there was no response, Chen Yu could only jump down from the second floor and find a stationery store next door.

Pushing the door open, he asked, “Hello, can I ask about something?”

Behind the counter, the bespectacled girl looked up. “Hello, are you buying stationery?”

Chen Yu: “I want to ask about something.”

The bespectacled girl: “Do handsome guys buy stationery?”

Chen Yu: “...No.”

The bespectacled girl pushed up her glasses. “Oh, then I don’t know anything.”

Chen Yu: “...”

“Close the door, thank you.” The bespectacled girl lowered her head and flipped through the books again. “Don’t let strange air in.”

“Alright, I’ll buy it.”

Walking into the stationery store, Chen Yu casually picked up a pencil. “Buy this.”

“Thank you.” The bespectacled girl was very happy. She extended her fair little hand. “One.”

“So expensive?” Chen Yu frowned.

“Because it’s not an ordinary pen.”

“...Here you go.” Chen Yu rummaged through his pockets and found a coin. He threw it on the counter. “I don’t want the pencil either. I want to ask you something.”

“No.” The bespectacled girl shook her head seriously. “The money is not enough.”

“Ah? Isn’t this a dollar?”

“The dollar I’m talking about isn’t a dollar. It’s a Bitcoin.”

Chen Yu: “...WDNMD.”

“Why are you scolding me?”

“Is your pen inlaid with gold?”

“Because it’s not an ordinary pen,” the bespectacled girl repeated.

“Goodbye.”

With a cold smile and a wave of his hand, Chen Yu turned around and left.

He came to a conclusion.

This girl had a problem with her ‘mental state’...

Creak —

However, when he pushed the door open, his left foot had just stepped out of the threshold.

The bespectacled girl sitting behind the front desk said lightly, “Other than me, perhaps no one will know where Sister Qi is.”

Bang!

After saying this, Chen Yu’s expression changed. He subconsciously exploded with anger and turned his head around. “What did you say?”

“I said.” The bespectacled girl took off her glasses and wiped them lightly. “Other than me, no one knows where Sister Qi is.”

“...How did you know that I wanted to ask you about this?”

“Because this is not an ordinary stationery store.” The bespectacled girl put on her glasses and smiled.

Chen Yu slowly calmed himself down and closed the door. He walked to the girl with heavy steps and looked her up and down. “Who are you?”

“It doesn’t matter who I am. That’s what the TV series says.”

“Can you read minds?” Chen Yu frowned.

The bespectacled girl spread her hands. “I know everything. Don’t be curious about me. It’s just a waste of time. If you want to ask where Sister Qi is, hurry up and ask.”

“Where is Sister Qi?”

“Handsome, do you buy stationery?”

“...I do.” Taking out his phone, Chen Yu looked at the QR code on the counter and directly scanned 50,000. He said, “Is that enough?”

“Just 50,000?” The bespectacled girl pouted. “You’re just trying to get rid of a beggar. It’s 1 Bitcoin.”

“How much is 1 Bitcoin?”

“According to today’s exchange rate, 260,000.”

“F*ck! Is this coin inlaid with diamonds?!”

“The original price is 262,000 yuan. I’ve already given you a discount of 2,000 yuan.”

Hearing that, Chen Yu took a few deep glances at the bespectacled girl, found Ma Li’s number, and sent a text message. “Transfer me 300,000 yuan.”

Ding!

In less than half a minute, a text message was sent.

A transfer of 300,000 yuan was made.

After replying with a ‘thank you’, Chen Yu did not hesitate and immediately sent the bespectacled girl 210,000 yuan.

“Yes, a total of 260,000 yuan.” The bespectacled girl was very happy. She handed over the pencil. “Here you go. Now, you can ask.”

Taking the pen, Chen Yu narrowed his eyes. “Sister Qi, where is she?”

“Oh, Sister Qi went to the bathhouse to take a shower.”

Chen Yu: “...”

The bespectacled girl rubbed her hands excitedly. “Handsome, do you still want to buy stationery?”

Chen Yu: “...That’s all?”

“What’s all?”

“You told me that Sister Qi was taking a shower, and then... That’s all?”

“That’s right.” The bespectacled girl nodded. “Didn’t you just ask her where she went? I’ve already told you. She went to take a shower. If you want more details, I can tell you. She’s at the Qingcheng Hot Spring Center, 3.3 kilometers away, on the 6th floor of the female guest department, at the A3 Hot Spring Center.”

Chen Yu: “...That’s it? For 260,000?”

“Yeah. It’s an equivalent exchange.”

“This is an equivalent exchange?!”

“Shhh.” The bespectacled girl made a silent gesture. “Why are you shouting so loudly?”

“F*ck! You’re asking for more than 200,000 just by talking. Isn’t it too easy to earn money?”

“After all, information is priceless.” The bespectacled girl shrugged. “Besides, money is always easy to earn. In this world, hard work can’t earn money. Otherwise, the richest person would be a donkey.”

Chen Yu: “...”

“Alright, if you have nothing else to do, you can leave first.” The bespectacled girl waved her hand to drive him away. “You have a foul smell. It’s like you took a shower in the urinal.”

Lowering his head and glancing at the pencil in his hand, Chen Yu pondered for a long while, then lowered his voice. “Looking at the way you’re acting, are you really capable, or are you just trying to rip me off?”

“The two don’t clash.”

“Alright. Then I’ll ask you about something else.”

“Alright.” The bespectacled girl was delighted. “I’ll tell you everything I know.”

“May I ask...” Chen Yu’s eyes flashed with a cold light. “In the Beast Tide in Shanghai a few days ago, how did the two Level 9 Beasts fight amongst themselves?”

Hearing this, the smile on the bespectacled girl’s face froze, and she slowly retracted it. “Handsome, are you serious about this question?”

“Yes.”

“Are you sure you want me to say it?”

“...I’m sure.”

“Alright.” The bespectacled girl stretched out her hand. “36 Bitcoin.”

“36 Bitcoin?” Chen Yu sneered. “Alright, I’ll transfer it to you right away.”

“No.” The bespectacled girl stood up and looked at Chen Yu. “Yes, 360,000 Bitcoins.”

Chen Yu: “F*ck you.”

The bespectacled girl: “Your d*mn dad is also 360,000 bitcoins.”

“Actually, you don’t even know about this information, right?” Chen Yu crossed his arms in front of his chest. “You deliberately used a high price to force me back.”

“Whatever you think. Anyway, you get what you pay for. Such important information is worth 360,000 Bitcoins.”

“So much money. What if your information is fake?”

“If it’s fake, I’ll stick my head out for you to chop off.”

“Tsk tsk. Do you really think I can’t fork out 360,000 Bitcoins?”

“That’s right.” The bespectacled girl nodded as if it was a matter of course. “Aren’t your rich men the Ma Sisters? Their combined assets are not even worth 360,000 Bitcoins.”

“!!!”

Chen Yu’s pupils instantly constricted. “You’re investigating me?! Who are you?”

“I’m not investigating, I don’t have the time.” The bespectacled girl pushed her glasses. “I’m just omniscient.”

The two stared at each other and didn’t say anything else.

In the empty stationery store, the sound of a pin dropping could be heard.

It wasn’t until ten minutes later that Chen Yu retracted his gaze and turned to leave. “I’ll keep an eye on you.”

“Hehe, you’re welcome to come again next time.”

After leaving the stationery store, Chen Yu stood by the roadside and looked back at the door sign of the cigarette store. He did not stay for long and headed towards his own neighborhood.

Sister Qi had gone to soak in the hot spring. It would not be over in a few hours.

If he continued to wait, he might as well come back tomorrow.

At the same time, he could also go to the hotel to take a look at Bahuang Yao...

Walking on the empty street corner, Chen Yu thought about the ‘strange’ stationery store.

‘Who is that girl...’

He couldn’t figure it out.

But he knew that the girl definitely had big boobs...

Not long after.

Chen Yu returned to his neighborhood and passed by the hotel that he shared a room with Bahuang?Yao.

He pushed open the turnstile door, greeted the front desk attendant, then went up to the second floor and walked to the ‘red romantic round bed’ room.

Creak —

The door was not locked.

It was easily pushed open.

Chen Yu hurriedly stuck his head out and looked into the room.

He found that the room was empty.

There was no sign of the young girl...

“Eh?”

He entered with a dumbfounded expression. Chen Yu looked around and only saw a note on the coffee table beside the bed.

He picked it up and unfolded it.

The note was obviously from Bahuang Yao.

The contents were as follows:

“Brother Yu, I’m going home first. I don’t know if you’ll come back.”

“If I come back, I want to tell you...”

“I’m sorry to disappoint you.”

Chen Yu: “???”

Chen Yu put down the note and was confused.

“This is just a resurrection. Has her logic not been completely restored yet...”

He lowered his head and read the note from beginning to end. He did not continue to think. He opened the window and jumped away...

...

Swoosh!

A cold light flashed.

A human head shot up into the sky.

The blood that spurted out dyed the desolate night sky red.

“The sixth one.”

In the shadow of the street, Bahuang Yi held an umbrella to block the red rain that fell from the sky. Step by step, he walked to the body that was still twitching.

“There’s still...”

Holding the umbrella, he took out a stack of photos from his pocket and looked through them carefully. “Four.”

“There are still four left. After clearing them, Chen Yu’s tail will be gone.”

As he thought about this, Bahuang Yi raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

Huff huff huff...

A ball of flame came ferociously and burned the body on the ground.

At the same time, it also burned the umbrella in his hand.

Padah.

Stepping over the body that was only left with ashes, Bahuang Yi put on his hood and dragged his black robe. He walked as if he had shrunk into an inch. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared.

...

The Fair Association, underground.

“Duan Ye, have you confirmed the identity of the mysterious man?” The black-robed man’s expression was serious.

“Only 80% confirmed,” Duan Ye said. “As for the rest, I want to investigate it myself.”

“80%... That’s enough. But...” The black-robed man narrowed his eyes. “You know, we don’t have much time. How long do you need to investigate?”

“At most half a month. I’ll be able to confirm his identity, and whether or not he’s the mysterious person who caused the Level 9 beast’s internal strife.”

“...Alright. Then I’ll leave this matter to you. Do you need any resources from the Association?”

“I don’t need any resources.” Duan Ye subconsciously straightened his back. “I only hope that you won’t send anyone to follow me.”

Hearing this, the black-robed man was silent for a long time. “It seems that... You’re hiding something from me.”

“Yes.” Duan Ye admitted without hesitation. “But I know the priority.”

“It’s good that you know.”

“Sir, then I’ll set off now.”

“Okay.”

“Goodbye.”

Duan Ye cupped his hands and turned to leave.

After he walked far away, the black-robed man gently clapped his hands.

Clap clap...

“Sir.”

A martial artist who was completely wrapped in tight clothes appeared around him like a ghost. “Please give your orders.”

“Follow him.” The black-robed man’s eyes were cold. “If he tries anything funny, kill him first and report later.”

“Yes!”

...

It was the same night.

Different people had different dreams.

Different dreams made different feelings.

The full moon fell, and the sun rose.

Chen Yu was in a good mood early in the morning.

He had defeated the exotic beasts.

Peace had been restored.

The warmth of spring was slowly approaching.

Everything seemed to be developing in a good direction...

After washing up and having breakfast, Chen Yu walked out of his house alone and headed toward Sister Qi’s cigarette shop.

On the way, there were ‘many’ and ‘happy’ pedestrians.

There were people going to school, going to work, shopping, setting up stalls...

It was bustling and crowded.

In the hot section of the road, there were also traffic jams that had not happened for a long time.

As he shuttled back and forth, Chen Yu felt like he had returned to half a year ago.

“What a pity.”

“If only I could destroy three alien realms before the Beast Tide in the capital...”

Sighing faintly, Chen Yu quickened his pace.

Not long after.

He arrived at the cigarette shop where Sister Qi was.

The door of the shop was already open.

Through the dusty window, he could vaguely see a familiar figure sitting in front of the counter smoking.

“Hu...”

A hint of nervousness surged from the bottom of his heart.

Chen Yu took a deep breath, rubbed his hands, and strode into the shop. “Sister Qi!”

Sister Qi didn’t even raise her head. “Get lost. Go home and ride your father.”

Chen Yu: “....”
