Chapter 240: Stealth Ability

When Lu Yu gently held Ji Bingyu's arm and brought her to the place where Wang Deye's corpse was kept, Ji Bingyu's eyes turned red instantly, and agitated tears swirled in her eyes, like a tide ready to break forth.

"That's right, it's him! It really is him!"

Ji Bingyu's voice could not stop trembling, her teeth biting down hard on her lower lip, almost drawing blood, as she said word by word,

"My sister aged so rapidly, and at least one-third of the reason must be blamed on him." Her words were filled with bone-deep hatred.

As soon as she finished speaking, Ji Bingyu could no longer control her emotions and kicked Wang Deye's corpse fiercely several times.

Each kick used all the strength in her body, as if she wanted to vent all the pain her sister had suffered over these years through these few kicks.

Lu Yu stood quietly to the side, his heart full of understanding.

After all, Ji Bingyu had such deep hatred for Wang Deye; even if she had performed more extreme actions, it would have been entirely reasonable.

Moreover, Ji Bingyu was naturally a relatively weak-willed woman, so it was normal for her to have such a reaction.

After a good while, Ji Bingyu's emotions finally began to calm down.

She slowly stopped her movements, wiped the remaining tears from her face with her sleeve, turned to look at Lu Yu with a hint of apology, and said with a slightly trembling voice: "I... I'm sorry, I... I just couldn't hold it back."

"It's okay." Lu Yu smiled slightly, trying to soothe Ji Bingyu.

Then, Lu Yu changed the subject and asked: "I just heard you say that your sister overspent a large amount of her lifespan, one-third of which was because of him, but what about the remaining two-thirds? Who caused that?"

"It was three other people."

Ji Bingyu steadied herself and said, "One is the City Lord of Yongan City, Yanluo, and the other two are called Guli and Shangguan Xu.

They are all very powerful; one can turn his whole body into metal, and it is said that even cannonballs cannot hurt him; the other can control gravity and can crush a person into meat paste alive."

A look of obvious fear appeared on Ji Bingyu's face, "Even this man surnamed Wang was always very polite when he saw these people."

"I see." Lu Yu nodded, thinking to himself that this way, except for another Awakened whose ability was unknown, the others had all been accounted for.

Thinking of this, Lu Yu couldn't help but feel curious and asked: "Bingyu, I heard that among the most powerful C-Class Awakened in Yongan City, besides the three you just mentioned, there should be one more, right?"

"Yes." Ji Bingyu frowned slightly, and after recalling for a moment, she said, "His name is Gu Pingzhong, and this person is very mysterious. Never mind my sister, even those other people rarely get to see him."

"So mysterious?" Lu Yu frowned slightly and pressed, "Then do you know what his ability is?"

"I do." Ji Bingyu answered without hesitation.

"Oh?" Lu Yu was slightly startled, looking at Ji Bingyu in disbelief.

He had only asked casually and hadn't held much hope, so he didn't expect Ji Bingyu to actually know.

"Actually, I didn't know before; it was my sister who told me, and then I knew."

Ji Bingyu's face flushed slightly, and without waiting for Lu Yu to continue asking, she added, "His ability is stealth."

"Stealth?" Upon hearing this, Lu Yu couldn't help but gasp.

No wonder this guy was so stealthy in his movements; it turned out he possessed the stealth ability.

"I heard from my sister that his control over his ability has reached an extremely high level, to the point where even the other Awakened find it difficult to detect his presence. Therefore, the others are very wary of him."

Worry appeared in Ji Bingyu's eyes, "If you encounter him, you must be extra careful."

"Mm, I will." Lu Yu replied, pondering to himself.

Judging by Ji Bingyu's meaning, this Gu Pingzhong who could use stealth didn't seem to have forced Ji Bingyu's sister to perform Future Prediction much?

However, it was still better to treat him as an enemy first.

When the time for a fight truly came, he must not show any mercy, otherwise, a slight carelessness could lead to disaster.

"By the way, Lu Yu, you said before you came that you wanted me to help with something; what is it?" Ji Bingyu asked with a hint of trepidation.

She had probably guessed that Lu Yu wanted to make use of her ability, but she had fallen into that state of confusion these past few days, and no matter how she hinted to herself, she couldn't perform Future Prediction.

"It's like this." Lu Yu looked at Wang Deye's corpse on the ground.

"He should have a Space Item on him. I would like to ask you to help me keep an eye out and see if you can find it, as well as find the method to open this Space Item. Of course, if your prediction ability can't do it, that's fine too."

In fact, from Ji Bingyu's description, Lu Yu felt that the abilities of the two sisters were more like omniscience.

Or rather, as their control over their own abilities deepened, they slowly evolved from prediction to omniscience.

"If it's this request, I can do it for you right now." A brilliant smile bloomed on Ji Bingyu's face.

"Really?" Lu Yu's breathing couldn't help but quicken; was this surprise coming too suddenly?

Could it be that Ji Bingyu was already so proficient in using her own ability?

If that were true, then when he faced those Awakened later, perhaps it wouldn't be so strenuous.

"You, you've got it wrong."

Ji Bingyu seemed to see through Lu Yu's thoughts, gently tucked a strand of hair behind her ear with her finger, and said shyly, "I still can't use my ability as I wish yet."

"Then?" Lu Yu was stunned for a moment, and then an answer flashed through his mind, "Your sister told you again?"

"Yes." Ji Bingyu nodded, "My sister told me what the Space Items on those Awakened in Yongan City were, and the methods to open them.

However, several years have passed, and I'm not sure if they have changed their Space Items or changed the opening methods, so we can only try first."

"I see." Lu Yu took a deep breath, trying to calm his excited mood.

"Alright, do you remember what the item is? Should I take everything off his body first?"

"I remember, it's a nail clipper made of gold." Ji Bingyu said hurriedly.

"A nail clipper made of gold." Lu Yu muttered to himself, then squatted down and began to search the corpse carefully.

Ji Bingyu watched without blinking.

After all, living in the apocalypse, she was long since accustomed to corpses, let alone the corpse of an enemy.

Soon, Lu Yu found a golden nail clipper in the left pocket of Wang Deye's pants.

This nail clipper was made entirely of gold and shone brightly under the light.

"Found it!" Ji Bingyu shouted excitedly.

Lu Yu couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief; at least for now, it seemed Wang Deye hadn't changed his Space Item over these years.

He turned around, looked at Ji Bingyu, and asked: "Next, is it supposed to be unlocked with a fingerprint?"

"Hmm, align his right thumb with the very center."

Lu Yu grabbed Wang Deye's right hand and pressed his thumb onto it.

In an instant, a screen similar to a mobile phone display appeared before his eyes, with a line of text and a numeric keypad in the middle, showing: Please enter password.

"." Before Lu Yu could even ask, Ji Bingyu spoke again.

Lu Yu entered the password as instructed, and the next moment, the scene presented before him left him utterly shocked.

The size of the interior space of this Space Item was actually ten times that of the one in Wang Dezhi's hands!

It was filled with all sorts of items, occupying nearly half of the space.

Although there were many miscellaneous objects inside, the most baffling thing was that there was even a bicycle in there.

"Could there be something special about this bicycle?" Lu Yu dared not take it lightly and asked Ji Bingyu.

"Ji Bingyu, did your sister ever tell you if there was anything unusual in this guy's Space Item?"

"That, she did not." Ji Bingyu pondered for a moment and shook her head.

"My sister only told me these things back then out of helplessness. After all, even if we knew this information, we had no way to obtain the other party's Space Item. It's just that I was particularly curious at the time, so I remember it exceptionally clearly."
