Mr. Melancholy Wants To Live A Peaceful Life

CHAPTER 22

Yu Hua sighed almost invisibly. From this conversation, he could be entirely sure that this person was a leveler, and a stupid one at that. Just because of a single mouthed word, he had revealed his ability, his nature, and his weak spot. He really wasn't up to much.

Faced with the dagger, Yu Hua didn't turn his head. Instead, he calmly said, "I didn't say anything."

He looked at the office's main door. He knew he definitely couldn't walk out that door. The Protection Organization, to avoid alerting the enemy, hadn't installed surveillance inside the office, but there was surveillance in the corridor outside the door. If Yu Hua left right after coming in, he would be filmed. While he could later use all kinds of excuses to muddle through, it would still be better to avoid that if he could.

While the window was wide open, the office's blinds were drawn. There were people watching from the office building across the street. They couldn't see what was happening inside the office, but they could use infrared signals to tell that there were three people inside the room. He couldn't kill the new leveler in this room. How annoying. What a job! Yu Hua sighed.

"Are you trying to trick me?" The man behind him pressed down on the back of Yu Hua's neck. "Don't play dumb. There's nothing in this world that can hide from my eyes!"

When the back of his neck was pressed down, a trace of murderous intent flashed through Yu Hua's eyes. He said, "Do you have a grudge against my boss? Why would you want to catch him? He's only an ordinary entrepreneur."

"Ordinary? Ha, only you natives would take him for an ordinary person," the man behind him said with a cold laugh. "Don't change the subject. What did you mean by 'collaboration'? I was ready to let you go, you're the one who exposed yourself!"

"You know that he's not an ordinary person?" Yu Hua's voice had a faint tremor in it.

"Hm? Do you know, too?" the man behind him said. "Who are you? Are you a native, or are you like Zhen Li?"

Yu Hua said, "Of course I'm not like my boss. He has very strong powers. How did you catch him?"

"Strong my ass! He's just an idiot. He won't answer any questions," the man behind him said. "You've seen Zhen Li's power first hand, and he took you in as human resources director. It looks like he trusts you. Tell me about your history with him. Tell me every detail clearly. Also, what does 'collaboration' mean?"

Yu Hua lowered his eyes, avoiding the parrot's line of sight, gradually understanding what had happened earlier. The man behind him was a leveler who had been sent by the System to kill Yu Hua, essentially no different from Zhen Li. According to what Zhen Li had said, not all the levelers had received this assignment.

The levelers who had received the mission had organized into a Clearing League. They had kidnapped Zhen Li and made him go on ahead to test the waters as cannon fodder. Before the main force arrived in this world, the levelers who came here would all be the advance troops; they would all be cannon fodder.

The man behind him thought he was a cut above Zhen Li. Last night, before Zhen Li could disfigure himself, he had stopped him and asked him whether he had clues about the boss. Zhen Li wouldn't have said, but he had a disposition that couldn't hide things. With this person's parrot also monitoring, Zhen Li must have slipped up. After their talks fell through, the man behind Yu Hua would have noticed that Zhen Li had opened a studio and decided to look for clues there. That was how today's scene had come about.

A new leveler, quite stupid, easy to use, with a parrot that could silently monitor others; the Protection Organization's suspicion and investigation of Yu Hua, an unknown hidden crisis test, the lack of a janitor... Countless matter that needed to be resolved flashed through Yu Hua's brain. He linked all these things together and produced a perfect plan. He only needed to inconvenience himself for now, feign weakness to launch an attack.
