Chapter 609

That explanation is rather plain and unadorned.

But this is indeed a problem many people worry about when deciding whether to dye their hair; upon hearing it's harmful to health, Zhiruo couldn't even bother supporting her son's self-expression, instead worrying about this.

As soon as harmful health is mentioned, Zhiruo's tone shifts.

I think, actually black hair is also quite good.

Because Yang Yixie and Bai Mu Yun deliberately acted friendly in front of Zhiruo, the atmosphere in the entire cabin was quite good.

Even after arriving at Shoudu, Yang Yixie and Bai Mu Yun pretended to exchange contact information, and Lei Zhao and the others, who were watching this spectacle from the side, also managed to get contact information under the pretext.

This still didn't hinder them; they continued to secretly watch until Yang Yichen successfully picked up the mother and son at the airport, then they left.

She felt that, besides bringing Lei Zhao and Jiangdu to report to the Special Bureau here, she also needed to specifically remind the Special Bureau here not to overreact.

Although she had previously heard about Ying Duo's isotopes... that is, about Yang Yixie, but when she actually saw the person, she still felt an inexplicable fear.

That feeling was strange; when Yang Yixie and Bai Mu Yun chatted, looking at him he seemed like a fresh-faced youth still with a student air, but when he smiled, it gave her a faint creepy feeling.

Clearly the boy before her was much more lively than that wanted criminal, his whole body exuding an affable aura, yet she still found it hard to like this cheerful boy.

It's like... a monster voluntarily put on human skin and hid among the crowd.

But Lei Zhao and Jiangdu seemed relieved at the sight of such Yang Yixie; indeed, she was probably too sensitive.

She didn't yet know how strong the inhuman feeling of Ying Duo felt to Lei Zhao and Jiangdu; compared to that, the discordance on Yang Yixie was already at a level that could be gladly accepted.

——————————————

So, did aberrant species appear at the airport?

Yang Yichen heard Yang Yixie and his mother Zhiruo talking about their previous encounter at the airport, and he immediately frowned.

Yeah, Xiao Xie was also taken by them for a Mutation Value test, luckily there was no problem.

Zhiruo said recalling this still gave her a fright; she had thought Yang Yixie had contacted a Mutation Source somewhere, but luckily it was just a false alarm, and they even turned misfortune into blessing, hitching a ride on the Special Bureau's plane to Shoudu.

No, I think what they're worried about is not mutation......

Yang Yichen hearing his mother Zhiruo's words fell into an eerie silence.

How should he tell his mother, the Special Bureau's concern is probably not this?

Compared to the expressionless Ying Duo in the game who turned Heavenly Dome City upside down, the real-life Xiao Xie who deliberately acts cute is practically an angel.

Yang Yichen also thought his younger brother had a bit of a demon pill tendency, but after seeing Ying Duo he discovered his younger brother was actually a spirit pearl!

How long until your school goes to register?

After comforting his mother with a few words, Yang Yichen turned to ask Yang Yixie.

Yang Yixie had already decided to live in an off-campus apartment, not staying in the dorms, so he would have to come back every night; Yang Yichen was still wrestling with how to tell Yang Yixie about the Special Bureau's affairs.

In two days.

Yang Yichen had been doing quite well mixing around in Shoudu lately, but now he could only honestly be a driver; his mother sat in the passenger seat, Yang Yixie alone occupied the entire back row, replying while playing on his phone.

Two days? Then should I go with you then?

No need, I'm not staying in the dorms anyway; just going to register is enough.

Yang Yixie didn't need to stay in the dorms, nor did he have to deal with the hassle of fighting for beds, making beds, getting campus cards, etc.; he used his shady income to buy the apartment across from them for Bai Mu Yun to live in.

Anyway, Bai Mu Yun is currently in a stage of staying at home researching the world, so this also helps ensure safety.

I don't know what expression Yang Yichen and Bai Mu Yun will have when they bump into each other; Yang Yixie has already started thinking about installing surveillance at both doorways, 360-degree no blind spot to keep his older brother's dark history.

If before there were still overlapping scenes of the two worlds, now there is no such cinema experience opportunity; although players still shuttle between the two worlds, the intersection of the two worlds is becoming increasingly weaker.

That works too.

Yang Yichen nodded, as if suddenly remembering something, and didn't forget to speak mysteriously.

Right, your room is still something I specially found someone... cough, found after asking friends for a long time; the design you'll surely like.

Yang Yixie, who was focused on his phone, slowly lifted his head and gave Yang Yichen a doubtful look.

How did he suddenly get an ominous premonition?

Soon, a black sedan slowly entered the residential area; this area looks like an old residential compound, only renovated in recent years, but the environment is good and it's close to the school; in the land-scarce Shoudu, it probably costs a lot.

This apartment must cost quite a bit, right?

Zhiruo was somewhat hesitant; Yang Yichen had rented a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment, which was quite spacious.

It's fine; coincidentally, our boss recently gave me a raise, so I can afford it.

Yang Yichen smiled to reassure his mother, and didn't forget to add, 'Sometimes I might work late overtime, but we do have subsidies.'

Then we still need to pay more attention to rest......

Zhiruo couldn't help but mutter a few more sentences; Yang Yichen just listened, occasionally nodding, to reassure her.

Some of the luggage had already been moved in by Yang Yichen; Yang Yixie found his suitcase inside, 'Where is my room?'

The room at the far right inside.

Yang Yichen was still dealing with his mother Zhiruo, insisting that although he might work late at night, he had plenty of rest during the day, so he was well rested.

Yang Yixie nodded and walked toward the innermost room, occasionally touching the wallpaper on the walls, already starting to ponder how to set up the home's 'defense works'.

He raised his hand to push open the door, but froze in place upon seeing the interior.

Did the designer and the landlord have a grudge?

The curtains weren't fully drawn, making the room rather dim; the keyboard's backlight flowed down from the desk edge, the light strip inside the case glowed on standby behind the glass side panel, all being rather glaring Ying Guang Lu.

The warm yellow bedside lamp might be the landlord's only concession, or possibly something Yang Yichen bought himself later; besides that, the room's high concentration of Ying Guang Lu is a bit terrifying.

Who customized this room, crazy?

The designer probably did his best under someone's request; the Ying Guang Lu light strips gave the room a strong high-tech feel, but they're really glaring.

He had only seen this level of light pollution in online promotional images for esports room renovations.
