Chapter 16: The Escaped Flesh-Mutation Calamity

If the evidence hadn’t been so conclusive, who would have believed an ordinary person could beat a Transcendent to the ground?

He had almost killed him too.

Facing the girl’s question, Lin Yu nodded and answered slowly, “He struck first. I have a complete screen recording.”

“Nice one, Team Leader!” Ye Lai walked over and chimed in. “I got all of it on video.”

“That’s good.” Bai Yu smiled. She could not care less about DIAB’s internal conflicts. She looked at Lei Yi on the ground, thoughtful. “What is his superpower?”

“Berserk.”

“So he’s a descendant of the werewolf clan.”

“What do you mean?”

“The superpower ‘Berserk‘ is actually a variant of the werewolves’ innate superpower, ‘Frenzy.’ I don’t know the details. I only know that after the vampires punished the werewolves, they disappeared. He might have werewolf blood in his ancestry.”

When she mentioned werewolves, Bai Yu frowned. She seemed to dislike that race.

“No wonder he was so reckless.”

Lin Yu thought of Wells. Now that she mentioned it, the two really did resemble each other somewhat.

“Is his surname Lei or Wei?”

“His name is Lei Yi.”

“Then that fits. Werewolves have two major clans, one surnamed Lei and one surnamed Wei. I fought them before too. About two hundred years ago, under the leadership of the great vampire princess, we defeated the two werewolf clans and drove them out of this region. Some werewolves were unwilling to leave, so they chose to have their bloodlines sealed and stayed.”

“Wait, this happened over two hundred years ago? How old are you, Miss Bai Yu?”

“Asking a girl her age is not a good habit, you know.” Bai Yu smiled and did not answer. Instead, she pointed at Lei Yi on the ground. “If you don’t call an ambulance soon, he’ll bleed to death.”

“Fine.” Lin Yu took out his phone and called DIAB’s medical department. “This is Lin Yu, team leader of Logistics Group 3…”

Lin Yu now had many questions he wanted to ask, but Bai Yu clearly did not want to explain further.

“Team Leader, how did you do it?” Ye Lai came over excitedly and mimed Lin Yu’s moves from the fight. “If you post this in the work group, no one in Logistics will dare mess with you.”

After all, Logistics was mostly ordinary people. Someone like Lin Yu who could defeat a Transcendent was rare.

“Don’t. If you really post it, I probably won’t have many peaceful days left.” Lin Yu smiled bitterly. Being too noticeable invited trouble, and who knew what it might bring. “Send the video to the minister. See if we can get Lei Yi locked up.”

“Yes!”

Half an hour later, Stella arrived at the scene.

“I’m not late, am I?” Stella looked at Lin Yu and blinked, then turned to the injured man nearby. “Lei Yi, how are you? Are you feeling okay?”

At this moment, Lei Yi lay on the ground. Half his face was soaked in cold rainwater. He had long lost the strength to answer and had fallen into a deep coma. Blood kept flowing down his arm into a puddle on the ground. The puddle turned red.

“Hurry and send him to the infirmary.”

Lin Yu knew Stella was deliberately stalling for time, wanting Lei Yi to miss the best window for treatment.

Normally, medical department staff arrived in five to fifteen minutes. How could they take thirty minutes to reach the scene? Every second was a race against death.

“How fast is fast, exactly?” Stella blinked. She looked at Lin Yu in disbelief, as if asking, “With such a good opportunity, you’re actually willing to let go of your grudge and let me save him?”

Lin Yu shrugged indifferently. Lei Yi was already ruined. Even if his arm was reattached, he would lose his grip. He would also go to prison for abusing his superpower to attack a colleague. Letting him live was a greater torture.

In the time that followed, he took Ye Lai and rejoined the mission to capture fish people. Counting the one Lei Yi had caught, they captured six fish people in total and earned a 6,000 yuan bonus.

Only after the fish people in the area were completely cleared did everyone on the mission return to the underground parking lot.

The fish people on the ground were piled into a small hill. All of them had passed out. The rain was mixed with a fishy smell. A few had been beaten to death because the team hadn’t controlled their strength.

“Phew, solved, meow~”

The cat person Cloxi crouched on the ground and licked their arm.

“Fish people, weak.”

The dwarf Walker was maintaining the large iron hammer in his hand. He seemed to really treasure his equipment.

Shen Yan and Gu Xiaoxiao did not seem to have had an easy time. Both had a big swollen lump on their faces. There was no need to guess; they had definitely been beaten by the fish people.

Ye Lai was trying hard to control his expression so he wouldn’t burst out with another “pfft” of laughter.

“The operation went smoothly this time. The mission was completed successfully.” After Bai Yu finished registering, she looked at everyone. “Leave the follow-up work to us. You can go back now.”

“Get in the car. We’re leaving.” Lin Yu signaled the members of Logistics Group 3 to get in. As he walked past Bai Yu, he stopped. “I hope we can talk when you have time.”

He really wanted to know what had happened two hundred years ago. After all, the girl he had possessed lived in the world two hundred years ago.

Bai Yu was stunned for a moment. She thought of how Lin Yu had stood straight and tall in the rain earlier, and her cheeks turned slightly red. She nodded. She had clearly misunderstood something.

“Team Leader!”

“Coming, coming.”

****

At twelve noon, DIAB cafeteria.

At noon, Lin Yu rarely went home. He ate the free lunch at the company. As for his sister Bai Tao? Her school had a cafeteria too, but she often complained to Lin Yu that the cafeteria food was terrible.

“The food is pretty good today.”

Ye Lai was in line ahead of Lin Yu, choosing what he wanted. Gu Xiaoxiao and Shen Yan had gone to the infirmary for treatment.

After getting their food, Lin Yu and Ye Lai sat across from each other at a cafeteria table, chatting and eating.

“Team Leader, Lei Yi was saved.” Ye Lai paused, then added, “But he seems to have been suspended. His hand is ruined too. I heard he still has to go to prison for a while.”

“I know.”

“Also, Team Leader, did you hear what just happened?”

“What happened?”

“That Calamity in the sea escaped!”

“I wasn’t paying attention. What type of Calamity?”

“I heard it’s a flesh-mutation type, a B-rank Calamity, covered in tentacles and sharp teeth!” Ye Lai raised his hand like a claw and pretended a tentacle was biting Lin Yu. “Just like this, bite you~”

“Got it. Let’s eat.”

Lin Yu was not very interested in that kind of Calamity. The main reason was that its rank was too high, and he could not beat it. If he were possessing Bai Lanlan, that would be more like it.

Not long after, Lin Yu picked up his tray. “I’m full.”

“Huh? Team Leader, why are you eating so fast today?”

“I’m a bit tired. I’m going to take a nap. See you this afternoon.”

Lin Yu returned to his office, locked the door, and took out that old phone. The nap was just an excuse. In truth, he just missed Bai Lanlan a little.
