Mu Sihan stared at Su Cheng’s departing figure. As long as this man was subdued, the others were completely vulnerable. However, those firearms were indeed a problem.
Normally, even if his life was in danger, he would force his way out of the encirclement.
But now, this might put another person in danger as well.
Mu Sihan never considered these things. Even he himself hadn’t realized this shift in his thinking.
Then, he heard the man continue, “Don’t worry, I’ll control myself.”
“…”
After a moment’s hesitation, Mu Sihan turned his back to the man and nodded slightly.
With permission, Bai Yue looked at the people around him again.
Although most of the past month’s training had focused on combat, he hadn’t neglected pheromone control.
He couldn’t attack indiscriminately like before.
He needed… a single, decisive blow to instantly stun these armed enemies.
Thump, thump, thump.
Hearing the dull thuds of flesh colliding behind him, Su Cheng paused.
He turned, intending to remind his men to be more restrained and not kill anyone. But when he saw the scene before him, he was involuntarily stunned.
It wasn’t what he expected.
The light gray-haired youth stood in the center, an invisible pressure emanating from him, yet it was restrained with extreme control.
At his feet, his men lay sprawled on the ground. A look of terror crossed their faces, as if they had witnessed something horrific.
Su Cheng involuntarily took a step back.
When things took an unexpected turn, he was no longer as composed as usual.
Suddenly, a hard object pressed against him from behind, incredibly solid. Su Cheng then realized that one of the two men present was missing, and a laser gun was also gone.
His attention had been completely drawn to the other man, and he hadn’t noticed this change at all.
Then, he saw the gray-haired youth look up at him. When their eyes met, Su Cheng felt a chill run through him.
Because he saw the enormous figure standing behind that man— a massive scythe dripping with blood, hurtling straight towards him!
Su Cheng’s breath caught in his throat. In all his years, this was the first time he had ever felt such astonishing pressure.
He felt an unbearable weight on his shoulders, and his whole body felt suffocated.
But he dared not close his eyes. He stared with his eyelids open, watching the scythe pierce his eyeballs.
He could almost easily imagine the moment his head was splattered with blood.
Although, this only existed in his imagination.
Su Cheng suddenly understood why his men had such expressions before they fainted.
“Bai Yue.”
A cold voice sounded from behind him.
The sharp blade was almost within reach, then suddenly disappeared at the last second.
Su Cheng finally snapped out of his fear.
Standing not far away was still that seemingly ordinary but handsome young man. The other party immediately withdrew his pheromones. The oppressive feeling was gone, but Su Cheng was still shaken.
“Sorry, I forgot.”
Whenever he used his pheromones, Bai Yue always felt like he wasn’t himself. Although he still had a sense of self, he was always somewhat unsettled.
He couldn’t let Su Cheng faint, because he still had questions to ask.
This time, the man finally obediently gave in. Bai Yue found a rope and tied him up. Just as he was about to take him away, he saw Mu Sihan hurriedly walk out first.
Bai Yue didn’t have time to call him back.
“Hehe.”
Bai Yue heard laughter beside him. He looked over and saw it was Su Cheng.
The other person’s expression was not good: “You really are a monster. You don’t even spare your own comrades, let alone your enemies?”
Bai Yue didn’t know what the other person was referring to, and replied, “Brainwashing doesn’t work on me.”
“That person is an omega, right?” Su Cheng said to himself, “Even if it’s to defeat us, you released pheromones without considering his presence? It seems your compatibility is quite high, which is very dangerous.”
“Omegas are troublesome creatures. They easily go into heat and mistake the attraction between pheromones for love.” He seemed to have thought of something and clicked his tongue, “But if you two are mutually attracted, then just pretend I’m talking nonsense.”
Bai Yue looked at him and smiled: “Apart from the information about the source crystal, I have no interest in your personal values. You should just shut up.”
Su Cheng pursed his lips and didn’t say anything.
When Bai Yue led Su Cheng out the door, he happened to see Cao Xun and the others rushing towards them.
Originally, they were supposed to be disguised and gathering information in the city according to their plan. But after receiving Bai Yue’s location sharing, they immediately came over.
“Are you alright!” Cao Xun looked anxious.
Bai Yue shook his head and shoved Su Cheng forward. The bearded man immediately subdued him.
“Is this the guy?” The bearded man was very strong and lifted Su Cheng up in one go. “He’s the one buying and selling Source Crystals?”
Besides these three, many other students in military academy uniforms also arrived. They had also seen the location shared in the group chat.
“Is this the place!”
After learning that there were many more henchmen below, they immediately waved their arms and rushed down.
Although those guys didn’t have much to do with Source Crystals, as military reservists, they had a duty to eradicate all evil!
Su Cheng stared dumbfounded at the crowd coming and going.
He knew that a large number of military academy students had suddenly flooded into K City and were inquiring about Source Crystals. But their investigation methods were haphazard, so he hadn’t taken them seriously.
Now, only two people had infiltrated his hideout, and he had intended to eliminate them completely. He was then planning to send out some insignificant information to drive them away.
But he hadn’t expected that this person would be so unpredictable, directly spreading his hideout’s address.
What happened to individual heroism?!
Thinking of this, Su Cheng couldn’t help but look at the boy again. The boy noticed his gaze, smiled slightly, and then looked up at the bearded man, saying, “After you get the information, send him directly to the police station.”
Su Cheng: “!!!”
Ruthless!
At this moment, Bai Yue was gently pulled by Xu Chengdong. The other party asked in a low voice, “Did you quarrel with Mu Sihan?”
Bai Yue was puzzled.
Xu Chengdong was confused: “He rushed out alone just now. I wanted to say hello to him, but he ignored me.”
Cao Xun: “Isn’t that normal?”
Xu Chengdong suddenly realized: “It seems so.”
On the other side, Mu Sihan quickly moved away from the crowd. Only when he was left alone did he slow down.
His face was an unnaturally red. He took several deep breaths before he slowly calmed down.
Sure enough, it still didn’t work.
Although he hadn’t directly come into contact with Bai Yue’s pheromones, he was still affected to some extent.
Why?
Was it because of the gene level? Or the compatibility?
Mu Sihan leaned against the cold wall, his head slightly lowered. His icy blue eyes stared at the muddy ground.
He closed his eyes and clenched his fists.
Based on the intelligence obtained from interrogating Su Cheng, the location of the Source Crystal had been confirmed.
Next, all they had to do was go to the scene to photograph the evidence and send it to the military headquarters, and this military mission would be a great success.
As for Su Cheng’s whereabouts, since he was no longer of any use, he was directly taken to the police station by the righteous military academy students.
The K City Police Station was practically just a shell; when they arrived, they even saw the staff drinking and playing cards inside. Their demeanor was indistinguishable from the K City thugs.
But at least, their identity as students of the Imperial First Military Academy was somewhat useful. Seeing that the students had personally brought in the thugs, the K City police dared not be negligent and promised to treat them seriously.
The bearded man slumped heavily into the soft chair: “I have a feeling those people are lying to us. What if we just put them in and then they release them?”
Cao Xun commented: “Possible.”
However, only the police station in K City had a prison. They had to go back after completing their mission and couldn’t keep taking the men with them indefinitely.
Cao Xun: “Anyway, whether they release it or not, once we report the matter of the Source Crystal, the military will definitely send someone to handle it.”
The bearded man was relieved: “That’s good! Speaking of which…” He glanced at the dozens of people crowded in the room, “Go cool off somewhere else! Why are you all crowding around here!”
Since Bai Yue and Mu Sihan had basically resolved this incident, the selection students had a great deal of trust in the two.
After dealing with those small fries, they all rushed into the room.
Hearing this, someone said: “Then Bai Yue, come to our place, we have plenty of space!”
“No way.” The bearded man felt threatened, “Bai Yue is one of our people. I picked him with my discerning eye, you can’t take him away!”
Xu Chengdong secretly complained: He was clearly just an afterthought at first.
There were too many people, and Bai Yue was also getting a headache from being squeezed.
So he stood up.
As soon as he moved, the others also stood up.
Bai Yue sat back down, smiling at the group: “Anyway, everyone, let’s disperse for now.”
It was getting late, and the Source Crystal was still some distance away. For safety reasons, Bai Yue planned to depart the next morning.
Of course, this was only his personal plan.
Upon hearing his words, everyone agreed: “Okay! Let’s set off tomorrow morning!”
The people in the room finally dispersed.
Bai Yue sat quietly for a while, then went out. He happened to see Mu Sihan returning.
Since the other party disappeared during the day, there had been no contact.
Bai Yue: “I found out the location of the Source Crystal.”
He told him the general situation.
Mu Sihan seemed to have no intention of communicating, nodded slightly, and went into the room.
The next day, Bai Yue arrived downstairs at the agreed time, preparing for the five of them to meet up before heading to the entrance of K City together.
However, after waiting for a long time, only Mu Sihan and Cao Xun showed up. The bearded man and Xu Chengdong were nowhere to be seen.
Cao Xun frowned: “Sleeping in on the last day?”
Bai Yue: “Let’s go upstairs and check.”
Just as he was about to leave, two dark figures rushed into the hotel. It was the bearded man and Xu Chengdong.
They had gotten up earlier than the others and had been gone for a long time.
The bearded man cried out in panic, “Something terrible has happened!”
Xu Chengdong exclaimed, “Su Cheng is dead!”
