Chapter 157 Liu Yu
"Don't be afraid, it's all over now." Cang Xingyue picked up the veil from the ground and handed it to the woman.
"Thank you." The woman took the veil and held it in her hand, bowing her head and timidly expressing her gratitude.
Seeing the woman like this, Cang Xingyue hesitated.
She had been avoiding eye contact with her ever since, remaining wary of her.
Would it be too abrupt to ask her directly about the situation at the North Dusk Base?
"You're not from the North Dusk Base, are you?"
As Cang Xingyue hesitated, unsure of how to begin, the woman spoke first, her tone not questioning but affirmative.
"I'm not really him, I'm here to find someone."
The woman finally looked up at her. "Looking for someone?" She narrowed her eyes. "Everyone is avoiding the people from the North Dusk Base like the plague, yet you still want to come looking for someone?"
Cang Xingyue asked in confusion, "Why not?"
"The people in the base have long lost their humanity. Everyone is filled with violent tendencies, brutally murderous, cold-blooded and ruthless. You can count the number of normal people left on your fingers."
"You could be killed if you're not careful walking down the street. Who would dare to come to a place like that? Who would want to associate with the people here?"
The woman lowered her head again, her expression sorrowful. "If the person you're looking for isn't strong enough, I don't think you'll ever see him again."
"I see."
If that's the case, then everything makes sense.
"The person I'm looking for is like a rat in a sewer or a cockroach in a dark corner; they won't die so easily."
Cang Xingyue leaned against the wall with her arms crossed, her expression indifferent. "I actually hope he has a hard time. After all, I'm here for revenge, not to find a relative."
The woman was slightly surprised. "I thought you were here to see someone important, but it turns out you're an enemy..."
"It's important, I guess, since I really want to kill this scumbag."
Her gaze fell on the woman. "What's your name?"
"Liu Yu".
Cang Xingyue nodded. "I saw you were walking in a hurry just now. Where were you going?"
"There's no food at home, so I have to come out and find some to take back..." Liu Yu said helplessly, twisting her sleeves with her fingers.
"If you trust me, why don't we travel together? I can protect you and guarantee that what happened just now will never happen again."
She had some questions she wanted to ask her, and since she wasn't familiar with the North Dusk Base, she needed someone here to show her the way.
Considering that she had dealt with the lewd thug in just a few moves and was able to get here unharmed, she must have some skill. If she could travel with him, he would be much less in danger.
Thinking of this, Liu Yu nodded in agreement without hesitation.
"Let's go then." Cang Xingyue took the lead.
As Liu Yu walked out of the alley, she suddenly stopped. She touched her neck and said, "My necklace is gone. I might have left it in the alley. I'll go look for it."
After saying that, she turned back and ran back to where she had been.
Cang Xingyue frowned as she watched her retreating figure. From the moment she pushed open the door, she hadn't seen any necklace around her neck.
What is she doing?
After a while, when she didn't see her return, Cang Xingyue prepared to go look for her. After all, the man was still there. Although he had fainted and wouldn't wake up for a while, Liu Yu would be in danger if something happened to him.
I had only taken a few steps when I saw Liu Yu return.
"Has the necklace been found?" she asked, looking Liu Yu up and down.
"We couldn't find it. It's probably lost somewhere else. Let's not look for it anymore and let's go."
Cang Xingyue nodded, her gaze falling on Liu Yu's hand, which was stained with traces of blood. Although it had been wiped clean, faint red marks remained.
She guessed that the man in the alley was probably dead.
Cang Xingyue followed Liu Yu to several food shops, each of which was unattended. Liu Yu filled a bag with the food, left the green base coins, and then left.
They encountered several troublemakers along the way, but Cang Xingyue chased them away.
After Liu Yu finished shopping, she had eight bags in total, and Cang Xingyue helped her with some of the load.
After collecting the food, Liu Yu seemed to be in a good mood and began to talk to her about the base.
She said that they were currently in an area where ordinary people lived, and that it was another two kilometers to the area for people with superpowers. She had no idea whether it was as chaotic as this place because she had never been there.
The residents here weren't like this before; all the changes only happened six months ago after the current base chief took office.
The rule in Beimu is that, regardless of your status or position, the most capable person will take the position.
For example, if you want to become the base commander, you can challenge the current base commander. As long as you kill him, you can take his place. No one can complain. If the challenger fails, he will be killed in public as an apology.
The current base chief killed the previous base chief and took his place.
"The current base leader is Chi Feiyan. I have never met her, but those who have met her say she is a gentle and kind person, while others say she is a ruthless woman, like a beautiful but venomous black mamba snake."
Cang Xingyue raised an eyebrow. Such an evaluation piqued her interest in the base leader, making her curious about what kind of person she was.
"She must be very capable to be able to replace the base commander, right?" She tried to elicit some information about her abilities.
"Perhaps. After all, the previous base commander was very powerful. He held the position for three consecutive years, and no one could shake his position at the time."
When talking about his predecessor as base commander, Liu Yu was full of admiration.
"Unfortunately, I heard that he suddenly went berserk during his duel with the current base chief, lost control and killed five high-level ability users, and was finally killed by the current base chief when he was exhausted."
As she said this, Liu Yu lowered her head, her bangs obscuring her eyes and making it impossible to see her expression. She gripped the bag tightly, her nails digging into her flesh without her noticing.
"If she hadn't taken advantage of him, Ling Mu wouldn't have died..." She seemed to be lost in some kind of emotion, murmuring softly.
Cang Xingyue heard her words and noticed her hand movements. However, she remained calm and did not ask any further questions, pretending not to have heard or seen anything.
She sensed that Liu Yu was not as ordinary as she appeared; she must be hiding some secrets.
He managed to survive for six months in a base full of thugs, appearing timid and cowardly on the surface, but he was ruthless when it came to killing.
She had paused time to check on the man; he had been stabbed countless times all over his body, so many that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he was riddled with holes. Finally, a knife was stuck between his legs.
Moreover, the man didn't fall in the same spot where he initially fainted; it was at least five meters away, and there were no drag marks on the ground.
This indicates that the man woke up after they left and was walking out of the alley when he encountered Liu Yu, who was turning back.
Judging from the footprints on the ground, the two people had stood face to face.
I don't know what methods Liu Yu used to kill a man who was taller, bigger, and stronger than her.
"Do you hate the current base commander?" Cang Xingyue suddenly asked Liu Yu.
Liu Yu was taken aback, then smiled wryly and said, "The base has become like this. You must be somewhat disappointed with the current base commander."
"If the previous base commander were still here, he certainly wouldn't have let the base become like this..."
