Chapter 479: and translation of title, then ===GLOSSARY=== with list of named entities appearing in these lines

Before Ying Duo could answer Luo Jinyou, his backpack interface suddenly popped up, and one inventory slot was continuously shaking.

Ying Duo grasped out of thin air a perfectly square black box with a short black antenna on top and several raised buttons on the side, and it appeared in his hand.

Moreover, the device's casing looked rough, not like it had any Engraving of Runes.

It seemed stylistically different from the things Ying Duo usually creates.

Luo Jinyou had never seen such an item; moreover, it contained no energy at all. Could it be a half‑finished product made by Ying Duo? Yet it was still vibrating!

Ying Duo pressed a side button, and a rustling sound came from the box.

"Speak."

Another rustle, and the previously muffled voice finally became clear.

"Partner—! Can you hear me—? This lousy place has terrible signal—!"

Ying Duo glanced at the antenna and extended it a bit longer.

The walkie‑talkie's communication does not rely on a network; it transmits and receives radio waves on its own. Though the physical laws of the two worlds differ slightly, it can indeed operate in this world.

It was probably because the distance was greater—Xiren Sheng's signal was quite poor inside the bar—but once he stepped into the open area outside, he could communicate clearly with Ying Duo.

Xiren Sheng already has such a channel; this time he entered the real world in his game avatar, making it impossible for anyone to catch him.

"Hmm."

"Hua Jian Lei asks you whether you can bring Mei Weisi's corpse back."

Xiren Sheng got straight to the point; although the walkie‑talkie was confirmed to work in this world, who knows what unknown effects might arise from electromagnetic waves colliding with this world's energy waves.

Upon hearing Hua Jian Lei's request, Yang Yixie couldn't help but fall into an oddly silent moment.

He would leave Xiren Sheng with Hua Jian Lei partly because if Hua Jian Lei tried to block him, Xiren Sheng would also cause trouble.

Xiren Sheng is fond of stirring up trouble; when Yang Yixie explicitly states his intention to cause mischief, he is even less likely to intervene, unless something more entertaining captures his attention.

"What does he want to do with the corpse?" Ying Duo suddenly blared, unhesitatingly tarnishing Hua Jian Lei's reputation, "Is he already so unsatisfied?"

Luo Jinyou beside him wore a bewildered expression.

Xiren Sheng let out a laugh over there, which sounded slightly distorted amid the rustling background.

"Maybe? Perhaps to bring it back for collection as a specimen?"

Hua Jian Lei's room actually held many figurines and merchandise; to prevent damage in a future war conflict, he even reinforced the basement where he stores them.

Ying Duo didn't respond, but reached out and took the telescope from Luo Jinyou's hand.

Bai Mu Yun seemed to have clashed with the Field Operations Department; perhaps the incident escalated too far, or perhaps a minister still refused to expose the Dome's dark side to his beloved daughter, so the Field Operations Department treated Bai Mu Yun as an outsider.

Ah, of course there is another possibility.

Ying Duo watched the group over there, stripped of Rune‑protected gear and easily cut down by Bai Mu Yun; they were ordinary people who, lacking experience, made him reluctant to kill.

Those people simply didn't know the inner workings of the Mutation Department, immersed in the Dome's fabricated falsehoods, sacrificing their lives for their own fervor.

But even if they were actually brought back, Bai Mu Yun probably wouldn't even need to enter a confinement chamber; he'd just turn around and be released, right?

"I'll try," Ying Duo replied.

Min Tianyou had previously mentioned that although the queen bee's venom is hard to neutralize, once you obtain an item as a medicinal catalyst, the venom ceases to be a problem.

Mei Weisi's Aberrant Species Core.

Whether or not to hand it over to the Chen Family remains undecided; he'll first secure the item.

"OK! Then it's Over!"

Xiren Sheng was merely a messenger for Hua Jian Lei; once the message was delivered, the connection naturally ended.

Ying Duo pressed a side button, retracted the antenna, and casually tossed the white-quality walkie‑talkie into his backpack.

Just as Xiren Sheng slipped the walkie‑talkie into his pocket and looked up, he saw Lao Bao standing before him.

Earlier, Xiren Sheng was the crouching Yang Yixie at the bar entrance using the walkie‑talkie; although the disguise was removed, his flamboyant demeanor made that crouch seem like he was barging in to cause trouble.

Lao Bao was still carrying two large bags—one filled entirely with canned beer, the other with food.

Lao Bao silently stared at Xiren Sheng for a few seconds, believing he had seen through everything.

After all, Hua Jian Lei was probably still asleep; the door had been locked from the outside, and only he held the key.

Xiren Sheng immediately rose from the steps, brushed dust off his trousers, and slipped the broken wire from his pocket into the seam.

He gave Lao Bao a quick smile, a grin so radiant it looked like a toothpaste commercial.

"Lao Bao! You're back! Thanks for your hard work—"

Lao Bao looked at him, squinting his eyes.

Why did Xiren Sheng suddenly smile so brightly? Why did he feel this kid hadn't held back his anger?

Xiren Sheng's smile remained unchanged, but he stepped back a pace, hand hidden behind his back, quietly zipping his pocket.

"Um, my partner over there has an urgent matter, I'm leaving now!"

He turned and ran; his silhouette quickly vanished into the shadows at the alley's mouth, leaving only footsteps growing fainter.

Lao Bao frowned in confusion, wondering why Xiren Sheng's posture seemed like a desperate escape.

He pulled a key from his pocket and inserted it into the lock, but it got stuck halfway.

He withdrew the key, lifted the door lock, and leaned in to glance at the interior of the keyhole.

He saw a twisted broken wire lodged inside, completely blocking the keyhole.

Lao Bao:......

He suddenly understood why Xiren Sheng had fled so quickly after seeing him.

That soul‑ball kid!

【48】 Lao Bao applied force to the lock, which was forged from sturdy alloy; under his grip it cracked with several obvious fissures. He slowly released, letting the lock shatter into several large pieces that fell away.

Lao Bao pressed his hand with force, and the lock forged from sturdy alloy in his hand was brutally cracked, showing several obvious fissures; he slowly loosened his grip, letting the lock head shatter into several large pieces that fell away.

He acted as if nothing had happened, pushed the door open and walked in, only to find Hua Jian Lei already up, leisurely sipping a small drink at the bar.

Lao Bao:......

You drunkard!

With their entropy increase, do they even have a single normal one?!

Forget it, at least there's the strategy team.

Although he never said it outright, Lao Bao has always had a good impression of the strategy team.

He clearly has the ability to break the rules, yet he self‑imposes restraint out of fear of causing trouble for his family.

That's far better than some guys who have no sense of restraint.

If it were possible, the life of the strategy team is actually what he wants?

Lao Bao briefly imagined the scene, then decisively shook his head and waved the terrifying thought away.

Never mind, someone like him, used to living wild outside, wouldn't honestly crawl into a cage.

Just the thought of being hauled in for a talk after landing a single punch on someone makes him feel there's no difference between him and death.
