Safety (Chapter 127)
"Are we just leaving like this?"
Carried away from the auction site by Gu Luoyu like a kitten, Ye Sheng turned her head to look back, her face showing a hint of worry.
She was very concerned that their sudden departure might leave behind some clues that could be traced.
After all, the black market had some unspeakable connections with the base officials.
Given the scale of the commotion they had caused, there would definitely be a thorough investigation later!
Not to mention, nine top-grade transformation potions had been snatched away, which was a huge loss.
Moreover, Ye Sheng remembered that Gu Luoyu had been "too into her role" earlier and had broken the personal weapon of Erensu during the auction...
That was over a billion base points!!!
Just thinking about it made Ye Sheng's heart ache.
However, the weapon that belonged exclusively to Erensu could only be kept as a collectible even if they had gotten their hands on it... For Ye Sheng, who valued practicality more, a weapon that couldn't be sold was better off not being taken.
Although, Erensu's taste was indeed not great, with personal weapons that were so plain and unadorned.
Ahem, even big shots can be down-to-earth~
Unaware that the weapon she had casually chosen was being criticized again, Gu Luoyu continued to walk out at an unchanged speed, her psychic abilities activated.
People they encountered instinctively ignored them, treating them as if they were air, while those further away would forget about them as soon as they saw them.
Even if questioned later, they would only remember a shadowy figure, unable to recall any specifics.
With such a cheat-like ability, Gu Luoyu was very calm and explained to Ye Sheng in a steady tone: "It's fine. There's no one here who knows us, so even if we leave, we won't be found out. Even the guard who checked our identities earlier died near the stage."
Generally, important venues should have surveillance equipment connected to the super-intelligent network.
However, since the organizer of this auction was the black market, where bidding and purchasing could be done anonymously... naturally, they wouldn't use surveillance equipment, as it would be counterproductive.
Of course, it was also possible that they thought hiring seven espers would make them feel secure.
Even if someone wanted to pull a double-cross, they wouldn't be able to leave the auction site.
However, the black market hadn't anticipated her arrival...
When Ye Sheng heard the words "people who know us," she couldn't help but shrink her neck, hesitating as if she wanted to say something but couldn't, her face scrunching up in a tangled expression.
Not ugly, but amusing.
Her dark eyes flickered with guilt.
Gu Luoyu didn't look down but instead used her psychic abilities to observe secretly, a slight smile playing on her lips.
As an esper with sharp senses, Gu Luoyu had naturally noticed the gaze from Sen Lan earlier.
Seeing the blue-haired man's familiar demeanor, it was clear that he knew Ye Sheng.
Thinking about it, Gu Luoyu quickly determined his identity.
The guy who had escaped from the research institute.
Besides him, the gray-haired woman sitting next to him, who could manipulate shadows, had been staring at Ye Sheng with a gloomy gaze that made Gu Luoyu uncomfortable.
She had directly used her psychic abilities to invade the woman's brain, creating a small mechanism.
After waking up from this unconsciousness, the woman would no longer be interested in Ye Sheng and would also resist getting close... Of course, to protect the safety of Ye Sheng, the little weakling, Gu Luoyu had thought it through thoroughly.
If the gray-haired woman wanted to harm Ye Sheng, she would suffer from a splitting headache and faint.
This was also due to Gu Luoyu's recent improvement in her psychic abilities.
Previously, she couldn't perform such delicate operations. After successfully executing it this time, if she encountered other women approaching Ye Sheng in the future, she would have a way to deal with them.
Although, Gu Luoyu would rather just kill them with a single strike, but that would make Ye Sheng sad.
Just like Fu Ruo, who had died in the valley's pond not long ago.
Even though they hadn't met many times and Fu Ruo had once threatened Ye Sheng, Ye Sheng had still been in low spirits for a while, which made Gu Luoyu very unhappy. She decided that it would be better not to kill them so easily in the future.
If they were remembered by Ye Sheng through death, it would be better to let them live and use other means to keep them away from Ye Sheng.
After careful consideration, Gu Luoyu changed her approach.
Now was the experimental stage, and the current development was good. It would depend on the next encounter with the two who had fled the research institute.
At that time, she would silently observe Ye Sheng's expression to see how effective it was...
"Sigh, I hope we don't get dragged into this! Gu Luoyu, do you want these transformation potions? I want to use them for some experiments..."
As she spoke, Ye Sheng's confidence waned. Treating potions worth hundreds of millions as toys made her feel extremely guilty.
What kind of family plays like this!
But if she were to exchange these transformation potions for lottery points, and they disappeared without a trace, it would be hard to explain if Gu Luoyu asked later... So, it was better to bring it up now. Using them for experiments would naturally result in some loss.
It would be normal if they all failed and turned into waste to be thrown away.
"No need. transformation potions are useless for Espers . Instead, they can have a catalytic effect, intensifying an Esper's suicidal thoughts. If you want to play with them, go ahead."
"Really!!!"
"Of course, but be careful not to hurt yourself."
"Mm-hmm!"
Ye Sheng hadn't expected Gu Luoyu to be so accommodating.
These were top-grade transformation potions worth hundreds of millions of base points!
And she had just casually given them to her~
Hehe~
Gu Luoyu was indeed the best, she really liked her!
(^▽^)
Thinking this, Ye Sheng grinned excitedly, her dark eyes sparkling, feeling that life now was truly delightful!
Speaking of which, ever since Gu Luoyu's body had returned to normal, Ye Sheng felt that the survival mode in the wasteland had changed.
From hard mode to easy mode.
All she had to do was follow Gu Luoyu around and live a carefree life.
Besides being well-protected by Gu Luoyu in dangerous situations, her daily life was also very pampered.
Anything she wanted, as long as it wasn't too outrageous, would be given to her. If she didn't have a little bit of ambition to become stronger, she could have completely become a happy little wasteland slacker.
Considering herself a striving individual, Ye Sheng silently vowed that the lottery points she had obtained this time were enough.
Besides drawing psychic soothing potions, she should be able to draw some other things as well.
She felt it was time to improve her own strength.
...
While Gu Luoyu was gentle and soft-spoken with Ye Sheng, she was cold and indifferent to others. Thus, the unconscious Mo Lin was casually thrown in front of a restaurant.
Ye Sheng felt it was a bit inappropriate, but since she was with Gu Luoyu, she couldn't plead for him and could only silently sympathize with Mo Lin for a second.
This unlucky kid had attended the auction, gotten nothing, and had been scared by the double-cross.
Fortunately, the security in the outer city was relatively normal, unlike the chaotic and dangerous mitigation zone.
Actually, Mo Lin could have been awakened immediately, but it would have been hard to explain... So, he had to recover on his own, and they would find an excuse to brush it off later.
No matter who or what, they all came after Gu Luoyu!!!
After some time, they finally returned home. When Ye Sheng lay down on the soft bed, she couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
She wasn't in a hurry to exchange points or draw lots. Instead, she turned on her super-intelligent network wristband and quickly accessed the local chat room with practiced ease.
She was a little curious about the aftermath of the black market incident~
