Chapter 661: Chi Jinan: You Mama‑Boy!

...... Are you about to leave?

Suddenly, Chi Jinan stopped struggling, though he was still being held down by several people; Qi Hengyu's Aberrant Arts made no sense, simply letting the stronger slash the weaker.

"What, are you still a milk‑still‑sucking brat? Always calling for 'mom, mom', and as soon as you hear Mom's waiting over there, you rush back?"

Chi Jinan was sandwiched between Qi Hengyu on the left and Qi Junyi on the right; the scythe had already been taken away by Shen Zexi to the other side, and his posture seemed a bit relaxed, his dark eyes fixed rigidly on Yang Yixie's back.

Yang Yichen's brow twitched; he didn't even need to read Yang Yixie's expression—just from that suddenly frozen silhouette, he could already feel the surrounding atmosphere tighten instantly.

It was as if a wall of flame‑lit backdrop had risen around Yang Yixie.

He stepped forward, placed a hand on Yang Yixie's shoulder, "Xiao Xie, let's first check Auntie's safety—"

"Oh, come to think of it, I've come across quite a few interesting remarks online in this world."

A few tried to cover Chi Jinan's mouth, but Qi Junyi's hand was nearly bitten off; Chi Jinan regained the right to speak.

"Let me see, what do you modern folks call this... a mama‑boy?"

"Xiao Xie!" Yang Yichen saw Yang Yixie turn his head, and hurriedly pushed him forward.

Chi Jinan gave no reply; he merely gave a light laugh, the smile landing in Yang Yixie's eyes, dripping with sarcasm.

The tips of Yang Yixie's hair began to emit a Ying Guang Lu halo; he raised his hand again, and the Ying Guang Lu lines forming a keyboard were already surfacing......

Two hands reached from opposite sides—one gripping his wrist, the other his shoulder. The force was modest, but the direction was clear: to pull him backward.

Luo Jinyou's voice came from the right, "Checking Auntie's condition is urgent."

Meng Kexin's voice came from the left, more bluntly, "Don't fall for the provocation technique."

The two who had been freed happened to stand left and right, separating Yang Yixie here as well.

——————————————

Bai Mu Yun hung up the phone, thinking that the showdown with Lu Mu had been so intense that those students were probably terrified; no one would dare come here to investigate.

With that thought, he relaxed a bit; after all, he was a little drained, and if it weren't for a pile of troubles waiting behind, he would have gone back to the little house next to Yang Yixie's and gotten a good sleep.

A comfortable life does make people numb; that saying proved true.

"Buzz—"

Bai Mu Yun's freshly closed eyes snapped open, his ears twitched, sharply picking up a sound approaching nearby.

Two black armored vehicles drove straight into the campus, stopping at the side of the teaching building; their engines lowly rumbled for a while before stalling.

The spot where Bai Mu Yun had temporarily hidden Lu Mu wasn't especially concealed; a few bundles of discarded waterproof sheeting were stacked at the wall base, and he crouched behind them, nudging Lu Mu's body further inside as much as possible.

Lu Mu's wings brushed the wall as he moved; he hurriedly halted, making sure the sound hadn't attracted the Special Division's attention, then gathered Lu Mu's wings, tucking the massive black feathers against the wall base, the edges slightly deformed under pressure.

What a nuisance.

Bai Mu Yun peered through a crack at the edge of the low wall; people in Special Division uniforms were conducting a scattered search in that area, and one familiar figure stood out as somewhat solitary among the crowd.

Suddenly, as if sensing someone watching, Lei Zhao's sharp gaze turned toward the direction where Bai Mu Yun was hiding.

Bai Mu Yun immediately averted his gaze; although he had long guessed Lei Zhao worked for the Special Division, he hadn't expected a member to arrive so quickly, and that it was him!

Now the situation is troublesome.

Lei Zhao said a few words to the person beside him, who nodded and moved to search another direction; Lei Zhao himself stepped forward, heading toward the side door of the teaching building.

Bai Mu Yun tightened his fingertips on the edge of the waterproof sheeting, immediately crouching; he knew Lei Zhao was walking toward them, and once he arrived, he would surely discover their hiding spot.

After Lu Mu completely lost control, that huge wing wouldn't fold back no matter what; yet in just a few minutes, Bai Mu Yun's mind had already conjured countless ways to tear the wing off and discard it.

Unexpectedly, Lei Zhao suddenly stopped very close to them, and Bai Mu Yun's heart gradually sank.

From Lei Zhao's perspective, the scene before him was even harder to assess.

Should he remind Lu Mu that his wing wasn't hidden properly, its tip sticking out from that corner?

It wasn't exactly conspicuous, but anyone walking by could spot it at a glance.

The Special Division's recent workload has been heavy, not only because of handling information from Aberrant Species visitors, but also, more importantly, due to recruitment efforts prompted by staff shortages.

Originally it was just to guard against stronger, more troublesome Aberrant Species later on, but with Tianmian City insiders actually expressing a desire to join the official side, the Special Ability Practitioners, their workload grew even busier.

After all, the interdimensional guests themselves are a huge trouble, and the higher-ups want to harness their combat power, so their subordinates must stay busy everywhere, also digging up every detail on those Special Ability Practitioners, especially since Tianmian City has just endured war, leaving massive information fragmented and damaged.

However, because the ground hasn't been fully opened to Tianmian City yet, the two sides' interactions remain limited, and Lei Zhao's true identity hasn't been exposed or pursued.

Lei Zhao originally wasn't part of the squad dispatched to the Academy; although Aberrant Species had appeared on the university campus, and they were special Aberrant Species, the authorities immediately sent squad members to handle the purge, but when he heard the report, he knew he had to join the team.

A massive black bird‑winged humanoid Aberrant Species and a humanoid Aberrant Species bearing ram horns were freely sparring in the Academy......

Even though he had long heard news of one of them's death, hearing such a unique pairing still sparked his curiosity to investigate.

What if, what if the departed truly didn't die, but merely happened to arrive in this world?

"Stop hiding, come out."

Lei Zhao stared at the inadvertently exposed black feather, which under the light showed a bluish‑purple metallic sheen; that color, indeed, matched Lu Mu's.

What about the one with the long ram horns? Could it really be......
