Peng Ran Xin Dong

Chapter 212 Turning Danger into Safety

Dou Mei’s heart suddenly tightened again,

She looked at the speaker in the black robe in terror.

The surrounding applause gradually subsided,

And a chilling silence returned.

“No… don’t… I am also truly loyal to Black Star!” Dou Mei collapsed to the ground, then immediately got up and crawled towards the man who spoke.

“I am also truly loyal!”

Dou Mei cried out as she crawled!

“The Black Star Alliance is forever invincible! My heart forever belongs to Black Star!!!”

Suddenly, Gu Ya took a step forward.

Dou Mei stopped and turned to look at Gu Ya approaching her step by step in panic.

Could Gu Ya be Black Star’s spy!?

Were all his actions to expose me?

Impossible, no, no, no…

It doesn't make sense. I checked all his information, I know all his movements! There's no reason for him to do this!

Gu Ya slowly walked in front of Dou Mei and looked down at her.

“No…” Gu Ya said softly, “My loyalty is not blind loyalty!”

“Dou Mei is my lover, and also my teacher.”

“If I were to kill even her, I would be disloyal, unrighteous, and unloving. How could such a person be loyal to Black Star?”

“Such a person would eventually kill everyone who obstructs them for their own ambition, including Black Star colleagues.”

“Leaving such a person behind is a disaster!”

Gu Ya spoke righteously.

Immediately, Gu Ya turned to the weathered man who had spoken and said, “My loyalty is absolute!”

“But I will not kill those who are helpful to me.”

“Dou Mei is someone who is helpful to me.”

“I sacrifice personal love, but I cannot neglect my outward appearances.”

“Everyone knows Dou Mei is my lover, Dou Mei is my outward appearance, she can shield me from the wind and rain.”

After speaking, Gu Ya looked at the black hood calmly and resolutely.

Even though the hall was brightly lit, the inside of the hood was already pitch black, not a single thing could be seen, as if it were a miniature black hole that could absorb all light.

The scene was oppressively quiet, everyone waiting for the man to speak.

The man slowly raised his hand, reached for the hood, and slowly took it off.

Then, the people on either side of him also slowly took off their hoods.

Dou Mei quickly lowered her head, not daring to look at them, because she knew it wasn't the right time. If she rashly saw their faces, they might silence her later!

But Gu Ya was different.

Gu Ya stood steady, his head raised at a 30° angle, as if forever facing Black Star, calmly watching the man in front of him.

This man was not special at all, he looked like an ordinary person, not ugly nor handsome, nothing special, so ordinary that one would forget him after a single glance.

Silence, deathly silence.

Dou Mei half-reclined on the ground, sobbing softly, but her mind had already formulated a plan: fight or die!

Gu Ya’s ignorance, recklessness, and tendency to show off exceeded her expectations.

She had expected Gu Ya to hesitate a little about the fusion ceremony.

Unexpectedly, he had directly steered the situation in an unpredictable direction!

Gu Ya also waited quietly, appearing calm on the surface, but his mind was already strategizing. [Active Mind] and [Adrenaline Burst] both had a duration of 2.2 seconds.

One was a 60x speed boost for thinking, the other a 45x speed boost for actions.

He would first activate [Active Mind], summon the exoskeleton armor and lightsaber, and then immediately activate [Adrenaline Burst].

This would give him approximately 2.1998 seconds to slaughter.

He would first eliminate the surrounding armed personnel,

And at the same time, he could use the exoskeleton armor to block bullets and protect Dou Mei.

After the double skill duration, he would immediately switch to [Overclocked Drive] and, combined with [Flashbang], he could slaughter another wave.

At that point, the scene would be chaotic. He would use the gaps to dodge bullets, cycling through his skills.

It would be no problem to resolve the combat in five minutes.

The scene was eerily quiet.

Dou Mei looked at the ground, her heart ready to face death.

Gu Ya’s head was forward, his eyes firm and unyielding.

At that moment, the people facing Gu Ya all brought their five fingers together, placed them over the center of their chests, raised their heads at a 30° angle, and whispered, “Long live Black Star!!!”

Immediately after, the rest of the people, including those in exoskeleton armor and those stripped bare, all stood up, assumed the pose, and shouted, “Long live Black Star!!!”

Dou Mei froze for a moment, stopped crying, stood up, assumed the pose, and shouted, “Long live Black Star!!!”

Everyone shouted three times, each shout louder than the last, and only stopped after they finished.

This was the most solemn etiquette to pay tribute to Black Star!

“Today, I have witnessed an unexpected and inspiring scene!” the man said.

“Zhan Yan, I feel deeply honored to have you join the Black Star Alliance!”

“You are a brave and resourceful person, I believe your path ahead will be bright!”

“I look forward to working with you!”

After the man finished, he waved his hand, “The meeting is adjourned!”

All armed personnel ran to the front of the man who spoke and stood in a line.

The ten newcomers, who had just joined, quickly picked up their clothes, cleared the space, and walked towards the door while dressing.

Gu Ya pulled Dou Mei up, tightly holding her waist, and followed the crowd out of the room.

As soon as they exited the room, Dou Mei’s tense body went limp, her legs unable to support her any longer.

Gu Ya quickly picked her up in a princess carry and steadily walked towards the elevator.

After following the crowd out of the building,

Gu Ya placed Dou Mei on the mech motorcycle.

“Have you planned everything?” Dou Mei asked softly.

Gu Ya asked flatly, “Planned what?”

“Were you just acting on impulse?” Dou Mei asked again.

“Yes,” Gu Ya replied affirmatively and seriously this time.

As Gu Ya emerged from the building, the restless blood in his body gradually dissipated and calmed down.

“If I hadn’t drunk that problematic wine, I wouldn’t have been able to speak so passionately.”

“Their prank actually helped us.”

Dou Mei chuckled softly, “Perhaps, you would have done that kind of thing with me.”

“No!” Gu Ya refused, “I have already betrayed Ye Ying once, and I will not do it a second time.”

“I will kill them.”

Dou Mei looked at Gu Ya, her eyes hazy, a slight smile on her lips, and said, “Then tonight…”

“Let’s go back to our respective homes!” Gu Ya mounted the motorcycle, preparing to leave.

“Then it will be exposed. Let’s finish the act, shall we?” Dou Mei hugged Gu Ya’s waist tightly, burying her head behind him, and said softly.

Gu Ya thought for a moment, gritted his teeth, his eyes gradually clearing, “Alright, but we won’t do anything.”

……

Gu Ya was visiting a love hotel for the first time.

He had heard about it and was mentally prepared, but he was still surprised when he entered.

The pinkish-purple suspended lighting filled the air with an ambiguous atmosphere, and it could also change to various light colors.

Lingering, pleasant perfume wafted into his nostrils.

The circular large waterbed even had an automatic shaping function; upon sitting, it would indent to the contours of one’s buttocks, making it very comfortable.

Not only that, but the bed also rotated slowly at 360°, and could even move up and down. According to the manual, it could simulate lovemaking in the sea and in space.

Lazily psychedelic music played in a three-dimensional loop as the large bed rotated.

Even more exaggerated, there was a pink rope hanging above the large bed, woven from very comfortable silk fabric.

Gu Ya racked his brains to figure it out. This was likely not for hanging oneself, but perhaps for the woman to sit on while the man was below.

The other furniture was also very luxurious.

The thermostatic cabinet thoughtfully prepared several types of condoms, with various sizes, protruding patterns, and wavy textures. There were even ones with holes punched in them.

Gu Ya really couldn’t understand why there were condoms with holes.

In addition, there were also lingerie, lubricants, embarrassing toys, whips, restraints, candles, iron hooks, steel nails… ugh, Gu Ya couldn’t bear to look after seeing halfway through.

“Iron hooks and steel nails are a bit too much!”

Dou Mei walked out of the bathroom, wrapped in a bathrobe with an inner lining.

She respected Gu Ya’s wishes and didn’t say much more.

“Have you seen enough?” Dou Mei said with a smile. She had removed her makeup but was still beautiful.

Her smile was no longer alluring, but rather the expression of a colleague.

Gu Ya nodded, then shook his head, saying, “I don’t want to see anymore.”

He then entered the bathroom.

As soon as he started showering, his wristband lit up.

“Zeng Lang…” Gu Ya said faintly.

“Hey! How’s it going, brother! Huh? You’re already done! I thought you’d be fighting all night!” Zeng Lang asked with a cute smile.

Liu Feng squeezed in, “Gu Ya! Explode or not!? Do you feel like you’re flying!”

“Hahaha……” Zeng Lang and Liu Feng looked at each other and burst into laughter.

“Tomorrow you won’t be able to walk because your legs will be weak!” Zeng Lang said with a wink.

Liu Feng imitated Dou Mei’s tone, saying, “Honey, I’ll be waiting for you~”

“Jokes! Jokes! You’re messing with me.” Gu Ya forced a smile.

Liu Feng was still laughing,

Zeng Lang immediately stopped smiling and said with a look of unease, “Uh, like this, Gu Ya, the company can’t do without me. We’re relieved to see you, so we won’t disturb you!”

“Oh, don’t go! I haven’t had enough fun yet!” Liu Feng shouted.

“Have fun with your head, if you don’t leave now, your family will be collecting your corpse!” Zeng Lang cursed Liu Feng and quickly hung up the phone.

Gu Ya nodded. Zeng Lang was indeed smarter. He was probably making a hasty escape right now.

When Gu Ya came out of the bathroom,

Dou Mei was sitting on the large bed, a hint of worry creasing her brow.

She raised her wristband and said, “This is our mission objective.”

Gu Ya looked closely and his scalp suddenly tingled.
