Chapter 351: Equality for All

Yue Chengzhang took a deep breath, his gaze swept over the three opponents opposite him—a tentacle monster, Dark Raven, and goat‑horn monster—then settled back on Ying Duo.

His lips moved, and just as Fang Zhiyan was about to open his mouth to continue some mockery, Yue Chengzhang's next words cut him off.

"You're an adult, you have hands, feet and a brain, yet you don't do proper work and instead stay here scamming minors?!"

Fang Zhiyan's expression froze.

Yue Chengzhang's voice wasn't loud, but every word was clearly heard by everyone present.

"Look at your white hair, old thing who's lived so many years, targeting a minor child—you don't even feel ashamed."

"Look at that child's hair, green like a glow stick, obviously brain‑damaged; you scam people like that—doesn't your conscience hurt? Oh, I forgot, your conscience is probably already soaked in formaldehyde as a specimen."

Yue Chengzhang continued, his speech speed increasing, yet each word was enunciated clearly.

Lu Mu crouched amid the ruins, Bai Mu Yun leaned against the wall, clutching his injured shoulder, expressionless as he watched the scene, but his eyes clearly read "What a move."

Yue Chengzhang's sword tip remained motionless, but his mouth opened like a floodgate:

"You claim to be a person of some standing, with real power and subordinates, yet this is all you've achieved? Kidnapping a dim‑witted child—aren't you afraid it'll spread and people will laugh you out of the room?"

"Oh, I forgot, you kind of rats who can't see the light never dare broadcast this kind of thing."

He didn't utter a single profanity, yet after that barrage, no one could find a chance to retort.

Yue Chengzhang let out a long, exhilarating sigh, as if he had finally poured out all his pent‑up frustration.

Usually, in front of his subordinates, he has to feign a bit of reliability, masking his talkative nature, but...

Now he truly can't hold it in.

Lu Mu crouched at the edge of the ruins and quietly nudged the nearby Bai Mu Yun, who had silently retrieved his own bullet.

"Wow, Yue Chengzhang usually looks on the same wavelength as those from the Church; is this his true nature showing?"

Bai Mu Yun stared expressionlessly, his shoulder wound still bleeding, but his facial expression... how to put it, a subtle schadenfreude.

Lu Mu lowered his voice and whispered, "His insults are actually cultured, no dirty words, yet each sentence pierces the heart."

Bai Mu Yun gave no reply, merely nodding slightly.

Lu Mu smacked his lips, "Yue Chengzhang usually seems quite proper, turns out he's a chatterbox? Or a high‑level chatterbox who insults without dirty words."

Fang Zhiyan stood in place, a few tentacles behind him twitching slightly stiff.

Ying Duo, who had been crouching on the ground holding a half‑finished barrel ready to resume modification, snapped his head up, golden eyes fixed straight on Yue Chengzhang.

There was no emotion in that gaze, but the rate at which his fingers hammered the keyboard clearly quickened.

He had just been diligently reassembling a Gatling gun; at first he treated Yue Chengzhang's tirade as background noise, found it amusing, and thought the NPC's insults were quite skillful.

But as he kept listening, something felt off.

Every sentence from Yue Chengzhang seemed to be made with Ying Duo in mind.

Things like "brain‑damaged" and "brain not working"......

Logically, even if someone called him a "betrayer" to his face, he shouldn't feel much; after all, he's an undercover operative in the Dome, and a couple of insults cause him no loss.

But Yue Chengzhang wasn't insulting him; he was berating Fang Zhiyan, standing up for him.

Each sentence carried a "for your own good" tone, yet every line called his brain sick.

Ying Duo still held the half‑finished barrel, golden eyes staring straight at Yue Chengzhang.

"Are you done?"

"Uh, I think I'm done."

Yue Chengzhang scratched his head, his face breaking into his usual bright smile.

Normally he can keep his talkative nature in check, but perhaps Ying Duo's abrupt reversal was so decisive that it gave him a bit of a jolt.

"Then you keep fighting."

By the time he finished speaking, the Gatling gun in Ying Duo's hands was nearly finished.

【Bai Mu Yun: Do you have a sniper rifle? Can you locate the sniper's position?】

【Ying Duo: The gun was smashed by that red‑haired guy.】

He didn't even look up, just screenshot the mini‑map, edited it, and sent it out.

A red marker stood out clearly, about 1,600 meters from their current spot, atop a deserted high‑rise building.

He himself hadn't actually handled a gun, but he could still discern sound direction and pick positions.

Lu Mu just glanced at the map.

【Lu Mu: That far? Is your map reliable?】

【Ying Duo: Other buildings are too low, you can't snipe from here.】

【Ying Duo: But if you go there now, the target has probably already moved.】

【Lu Mu: How do you know?】

Ying Duo didn't answer directly; he just lifted his chin toward Yue Chengzhang.

【Ying Duo: He was stalling just now.】

A sniper typically relocates immediately after a shot; that's basic knowledge, right?

Not to mention the Supervision Bureau staff should be well acquainted with Lu Mu's abilities, surely they'd have anticipated the possibility of him flying over to chase.

The three whispered in the Team Channel, while over there Yue Chengzhang and Fang Zhiyan had already started fighting again.

Perhaps Yue Chengzhang's tirade had an effect; Fang Zhiyan's attacks were noticeably harsher than before, and Yue Chengzhang already had a hit on him.

【System Prompt: Manufacture Complete】

【Six-barrel Rotating Machine Gun (Blue)】

Durability: 100/100

Damage: 20–25 per shot

Energy Consumption: 10 per shot

Traits: firepower suppression, psychological intimidation

As soon as it was finished, Ying Duo lifted the freshly repaired Gatling and began moving toward the edge of the battlefield.

He finally found a corner of a wall not too far nor too close to the battlefield, crouched, and aimed the Gatling's barrel at the center of the battlefield.

Ready.

Lu Mu watched the scene, his mouth twitched, and said, "What the kid is up to?"

Bai Mu Yun covered his shoulder, expressionless.

"Gaining experience."

Lu Mu: "......"

Lu Mu: "...... Where's his face?"

Bai Mu Yun was silent for only a second, then asked, "Has he ever had that thing?"

The facts show that Ying Duo truly is shameless, and he even keeps pushing his advantage.

To stop Yue Chengzhang and Fang Zhiyan from clashing midway—where his sword technique could rebound onto himself, even killing him with a single slash—he intends to attack both of them at once.

Anyway, they're forming a team.
