Chapter 219: New Beginning
This time, it was only for a Blackthorn Wild Boar, and the burning of the incense could be described as extremely slow.
Watching the Hua Jiaoshan Incense burn just a little, Shen Yu, with great courage, actually stepped forward to the Blackthorn Wild Boar’s front, grabbed the hand that was facing the ground, and dragged it out of the dormitory with all his might.
Crack, crack, crack.
During this process, the ice layer kept breaking, but the Blackthorn Wild Boar’s body kept shrinking until its body spikes faded and it turned back into Zhu Weiman’s appearance.
"Go. Behave."
With one hand holding the incense, Shen Yu pulled Zhu Weiman’s arm as they walked toward the elevator.
Yaning stood there, frozen, watching Shen Yu.
"But Shen Yu, isn’t it too early to use this tool now, Vice Captain?"
"Vice Captain, you’re amazing. How did you know Chang’an would be in the cafeteria?"
From a distance, Ning Su and Chu Chang’an hurriedly came over. Seeing Shen Yu dragging Zhu Weiman, both of them were astonished.
"Vice Captain, what’s going on?"
"You came just in time. Help Yaning back to the male dormitory. I’m worried she might encounter Zhu Xian’s attack again."
"If you run into Zhu Xian, try to control him."
"I’ll go alone to the fifth floor to make a deal."
Ding dong!
Grabbing Zhu Weiman’s shoulder, Shen Yu pressed the elevator button and dragged him inside.
"Vice Captain, what? What exactly are you doing?"
"Aren’t you supposed to go to the second floor?"
"Yes."
"Shen Yu, what’s going on with you? That valuable tool. You’re using it just to deal with this guy?"
Chu Chang’an and Yaning truly didn’t understand what Shen Yu was up to, and Shen Yu just smiled and shook his head.
"You’ll know when the time comes."
"Go to the male dormitory and wait for my message."
Ding dong.
The elevator doors slowly closed.
After Shen Yu pressed the fifth-floor button, the elevator shook.
When the door opened again, his eyes locked onto Room 502.
"Go."
Kicking Zhu Weiman, Shen Yu noticed that the Hua Jiaoshan Incense had already burned a third.
He didn’t dare to slow down and walked straight to the door of Room 502, knocking on it.
Bang, bang, bang.
"Is this Miss Pei Pei? I’m the salesperson you spoke to today. How about the hot milk I delivered today?"
Hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss.
As soon as the words were spoken, a series of snake hissing sounds came from inside.
The door creaked open, and thick, sticky fluid flowed out from the gap.
A pale-faced woman’s face pressed against the door and looked out.
"Oh, it’s you. I remember. The things you brought today were good, but a bit tricky."
"How about you come in and have a seat? Actually, I’m still very interested in your products."
Hiss, hiss, hiss.
Pei Pei said this with a creepy smile, opening a gap in the door to motion for Shen Yu to come inside.
Shen Yu smiled, then pushed Zhu Weiman behind him, the corners of his mouth curling up.
"No need. I’m in an office romance lately. If the boss finds out I went to a female client’s house, it would be bad."
"This time, no beef or horse meat. I brought you some pork. What do you think?"
Tsk.
The red tip of the incense burned onto Zhu Weiman’s shoulder, and he immediately let out a miserable scream.
"Ah! You, you, you filthy—"
Bang!
But before he could finish his words, Shen Yu kicked him in the back, and Zhu Weiman was sent flying toward the door of Room 502.
Tsk.
"This meat—this meat!"
Seeing that it was Zhu Weiman, a look of displeasure flashed across Pei Pei’s face.
Perhaps, to her, pork wasn’t as good as beef or horse meat, and certainly not as noble as meat pigs.
Looking at Pei Pei’s somewhat rejecting expression, Shen Yu blew out the incense in his hand and pointed to the wound on Zhu Weiman’s shoulder.
"Hey, what do you think of his shoulder?"
"Warm, hot milk? Don’t you like it?"
𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
"Milk, milk."
Hearing this, Pei Pei subconsciously lifted the wound on Zhu Weiman’s shoulder.
The burned skin cracked open at the wound, and fresh red blood oozed out.
Pei Pei just glanced at it, and immediately scales resembling snakeskin appeared on her face.
"Milk, milk, milk!"
Puff, puff, puff.
In just this moment, as Pei Pei stared, Zhu Weiman’s back immediately exploded with countless blisters.
These blisters appeared translucent, expanding into egg-like shapes, with faint snake-like shadows swaying inside.
"Milk, milk!"
Hiss!
Pei Pei’s mouth suddenly opened wide, stretching to an eerie width.
Her crimson tongue curled out and tightly wrapped around Zhu Weiman’s neck, pulling him rapidly toward the door.
"Ugh! Ugh! You, you, we are serving that lord. How dare you? How dare you?"
Crash!
Dragged by the tongue, Zhu Weiman was completely pulled into Room 502.
After the door slammed shut, the faint sound of cracking shells and hissing, biting, and licking noises could be heard from inside.
Shen Yu furrowed his brows and stood at the door, waiting for a while before a voice finally came from inside.
Huff, huff, huff.
"Eating an old pig really takes effort."
"Boy, tell me, when did you first realize the trigger conditions of my ability?"
"Probably during the day, when you were killing the cow."
Hearing the cold voice from inside, Shen Yu spoke truthfully.
This second round, he wasn’t playing recklessly.
In the first round, when he met Pei Pei with Mo Xian, this woman had asked for hot milk.
The men in the company would mutate into cows, while women would mutate into horses.
Hot milk?
How could he guess how to link it to the men’s blood?
At that time, he activated Mirror Flower Water Moon, and the illusion was hacked to pieces by Mo Xian, covering him in blood, which triggered Pei Pei’s ability against Mo Xian.
Snake—does it lay eggs when it sees blood?
Monkey mutates when it touches the ground.
Pig chases when it smells.
Dove, chicken...
The more it fears, the more it becomes rampant.
The creatures in this building really had their own characteristics.
Shen Yu was calculating the four known creatures, looking toward Room 502 with a teasing expression.
Clank.
When the door opened again, Pei Pei’s face had turned much redder, her tongue constantly licking her lips, her expression alluring.
"Oh, you little thing! You sure know a lot."
"What?"
"In just one day, you figured out the abilities of four animals."
"Although I don’t know how you saw the monkey, that’s none of my business."
"You’re smart. I like smart people."
"I need nutrition."
"Three times the nutrition."
"I’ll give you a benefit."
"Got it. I’ll try to bring something for you again."
Shen Yu calmly agreed as if he had already expected Pei Pei to say this, and the corners of his mouth curled up again.
"So, as a reward for providing you with nutrition this time, can I ask something?"
"Go ahead."
"What about the writings left in the female dorm on the sixth floor? Were they left by the previous female salesperson?"
"Yes. It must have been that little brat, Lin Yao."
"Oh, it was her."
"Lin Wan and Lin Yao don’t get along."
Shen Yu curiously looked at Pei Pei, who seemed to think of something interesting.
A row of sharp teeth appeared as she smiled.
"Yes, they’ve never gotten along."
"Their personalities, temperaments, everything is completely opposite."
"But no one expected that the biggest deal of the company was actually taken by Lin Yao."
"It was the deal with the Hu family, father and son."
"You—you even know that?"
Upon hearing this, Pei Pei’s face showed shock, and Shen Yu smiled.
"Guess what?"
"What’s my relationship with Lin Wan?"
"Oh, then it’s nothing."
"Be careful. Don’t get into trouble with the fox."
"Lin Wan is no good."
"Any other questions?"
"If not, I’ll go back to incubating."
"Ugh!"
"You’re in sales too, right?"
"Suddenly, then is the chairman of Evolution Food Company living on the ninth floor?"
Boom!
The door of Room 502 slammed shut, and Pei Pei seemed to have completely run out of patience.
There was no intention to pay attention to Shen Yu anymore.
Shen Yu scratched his head and walked toward the elevator with some regret.
The reason he asked this was because he had a guess.
The company served all the clients in the building, and every morning they invited Old Fu to dance, which meant Old Fu was probably an employee of the company, right?
Since Old Fu was, then wasn’t Pei Pei too?
And Pei Pei knew so much about the company.
Was she just a resident?
That couldn’t be, right?
The person on the seventh floor, Long John, could he also have been an employee of the company before?
If that’s the case, Shen Yu could deduce a terrifying logic.
That was, the company constantly recruited people and fed them to the whole building.
And each time someone new entered, if they were smart enough and ruthless enough, they had a chance to be promoted to become an animal.
If they didn’t die in this process, they became part of the company’s retired employees, living in Evolution Food Company.
At that point, the new ones turned old, and they regularly saw new salespeople come to promote themselves.
Hiss.
"What’s the saying?"
"The dragon slayer turns into the evil dragon."
"This company not only eats people but also trains its own cannibal subordinates."
Shen Yu scratched his chin and walked to the elevator, pressing the sixth-floor button again.
Meanwhile, under Shen Yu’s livestream, the bullet comments were rapidly flooding in.
"Jochi’s first deep emotion."
"I’m measuring. What’s going on in Shen Yu’s brain?"
"How come I’ve been following him all this time and still didn’t realize how he deduced these abilities?"
"Long Ao Tian, I don’t know why, but this scene feels so familiar."
"Wait, am I really seeing this for the first time?"
"Jing and First Handsome, when did Shen Yu meet the monkey? When was this?"
The bullet comments kept flooding in, all confused and clueless.
Inside the Jochi City Defense Department, Ho Yong scratched the back of his head, looking at Jiaoko in confusion.
"Don’t you think Shen Yu’s analytical ability is terrifying?"
"It’s like he’s been through something, like he knows something."
"Hmm."
"He contacted Pei Pei this morning, came to find her in the evening for collaboration. That’s nothing wrong."
"But when did he know about the monkey, the Fu father and son?"
"Could it be when he was getting cosy with Lin Wan and the bed tricks came out?"
"His."
"If that’s the case, then his bed skills are way better than any intelligence abilities."
Jiaoko casually speculated, his fingers continuously tapping the desk, his eyes gradually sharpening.
"Or could it be?"
"Does he have any time-related skills?"
Ding dong!
The elevator moved up again.
When the elevator doors opened and Shen Yu returned to the sixth-floor male dormitory, all the teammates were staring blankly, curiously looking at Yang Hua on the bed.
"Look, is this a sheep?"
"It must be. Her thighs have turned into sheep hooves."
"I don’t get it. Why are there wild boars and sheep here?"
"Is it possible that all the residents in the company undergo mutations?"
"It’s possible."
"Do you guys remember the values shown by the physical examination machine?"
"Both the deputy captain and Yang Hua had numbers."
The three were discussing in confusion, completely unaware that Shen Yu had already returned to the dorm.
Shen Yu stared at Yang Hua for a while before decisively walking to her bed, lifting the blanket on top of her, and grabbing the scapegoat metal from her chest.
Buzz!
Immediately, an extraordinary scene unfolded.
Yang Hua, lying on the bed, began to shrink all over, and her legs gradually returned to normal.
"What the heck?"
"What’s going on?"
"Species transformation!"
Ning Su shouted loudly, curiously observing Yang Hua.
Yaning and Chu Chang’an looked at Shen Yu in curiosity.
Suddenly, their eyes froze.
Because while holding that metal, Shen Yu’s whole body suddenly sprouted thick, woolly fur.
His face was covered with curly white hair, and his feet had turned into black, long sheep hooves.
And Shen Yu turned into a sheep.
"Hmm."
"Sure enough, the scapegoat ability is to deal with all the mutation levels on the body, transferring them to oneself."
"Can transforming into a sheep probably not be undone?"
"How should I dispel these mutations?"
Scratching the curly sheep wool, Shen Yu stared at the value on the metal.
**69%.**
This value was far from complete sheepification, and not enough to make Zhu Weiman forcibly break the door and attack.
Shen Yu squinted, and with a look of astonishment, he could roughly calculate a possibility.
That was, Yang Hua had been attacked earlier because Yang Hua’s value had reached 100 percent.
But why was it 100 percent just now and 69 percent now?
Wait.
Did Yang Hua do something in between?
Staring at Yang Hua lying on the bed, Shen Yu walked thoughtfully toward the dormitory door.
"Chu Chang’an, Ning Su, follow me."
"We are going to..."
