Chapter 696 Holmes's backup plan!
Looking back at what Chu Yang said back then, although some of it was vague, there wasn't a single falsehood in it.
"Fine, I can never win an argument with you, but you must be an extraordinary being too, right?"
Elinda couldn't help but roll her eyes habitually, but then she thought about her current situation and felt bitter.
At this moment, Chu Yang was also filled with vigilance.
The person in front of her, Elinda, was not an ordinary person who was powerless, but a newly transformed extraordinary being.
Living in this bizarre world, he would never underestimate any extraordinary person.
After all, the possibility of things going wrong unexpectedly does exist, and no matter how small the probability is, he will not let his guard down easily.
Just as I suspected, the sweet and lovely Elinda of the past has disappeared.
Just as Chu Yang was feeling extremely emotional, he pretended to be helpless and said, "Elinda, you must be careful in the future. You are now an extraordinary person, and your physical fitness has been greatly enhanced."
"If you suddenly rush in front of me like before, you might just knock me flying."
Chu Yang emphasized this very seriously.
Elinda lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly, but quickly realized, "You're changing the subject again! You haven't answered what I just said!"
Seeing that, after catching up with old friends, Ilinda seemed to have regained some of her former lively personality.
Chu Yang's heart gradually calmed down.
"I am indeed an extraordinary being, and I even discovered long ago that your father had embarked on this path."
"After my investigation, I found that your father did not harm any innocent people."
"Besides, the world isn't as simple as you think, and I don't want you to get involved in these things so easily."
That's why I chose to conceal most of the truth back then.
"Who would have thought that, by some twist of fate, you would end up like this?"
"Elinda, you must be careful. When you become an extraordinary one, all the peaceful and tranquil life will be gone."
Chu Yang's expression grew increasingly serious.
If he could, he wouldn't want to spend all his time scheming.
For the sake of survival, this is something that no extraordinary person can avoid.
Elinda's expression remained icy, and she nodded in response.
But she spoke in a gentler tone, "Don't you want me to become like this? But if I do, how can I avenge my family?"
Seeing the tender look in Erinda's eyes, Chu Yang didn't even know how to speak.
He finally sighed heavily and said, "I just don't want you to face danger again. I know you won't give up on revenge, especially since you've already embarked on this path."
"I cannot comprehend the sorrow in your heart, but you must understand that the dangers of this path far exceed those described in the novels you have ever read."
Ilinda said firmly, "Mr. and Mrs. Madrid told me these things."
"Don't blame them. They've emphasized the dangers of this matter to me time and time again, but I had no other choice."
"My parents died at the hands of that damned werewolf, and I must avenge them."
"I want to destroy the White Rose School that they represent."
As she finished speaking, Erinda's expression grew even colder.
"I support you, but I hope you never forget who you used to be."
Chu Yang said something with a solemn expression.
He just didn't want to lose a true friend.
"I will."
Elinda's gaze toward Chu Yang was so gentle.
But she also knew that she could never be the same as she was back then.
After experiencing all of this, she could no longer live carefree as before.
Fortunately, Chu Yang knew that his request was just an unattainable dream.
"By the way, why did you call me here? I thought it was Miss Natasha and the others who wanted to see me."
Elinda's face stiffened slightly, but she still managed a forced smile and said, "They've all gone to buy materials."
"But before they left, they arranged for me to stay somewhere, and I heard that if I wanted to become stronger, I would need to prepare a lot of extraordinary materials, and all of these would cost money..."
Before she could finish speaking, Chu Yang interrupted her, "How much money do you need? I can lend you it all."
This is of course something he can do within his means; he will lend out some of his own funds.
After all, the person in front of her was Elinda.
"I don't lack money. My father told me where he hid his money before he died."
"According to him, his family's possessions were extremely substantial. Now that I think about it, my father probably foresaw his fate long ago."
When the topic came up again, Elinda's expression became very calm.
Chu Yang expressed his understanding of this.
Living in this bizarre world, whether you are a nobleman, an ordinary person, or even an extraordinary individual, you may encounter misfortune and die at any time.
Holmes embarked on this path by chance. Although he seemed to possess extraordinary power, he knew that he had embarked on a path with no possibility of turning back.
Since he could die at any moment, it is natural to make arrangements in advance.
"Chu Yang, given my current condition, it is not appropriate for me to show my face in public."
"You're the only person I can trust. I hope you can make a trip for me and bring me back some top-notch stuff from there."
Elinda stared intently at Chu Yang.
"It's not too difficult, but why don't you just let Madrid do it for you?"
"This should be a very simple thing for them."
Chu Yang couldn't help but ask.
Of course, what he wanted to say was that Erinda was in a very dangerous situation, as the official Extraordinary Ones were looking for her.
The more people who know about her current situation, the more dangerous it is for him.
Why would this girl deliberately create unnecessary trouble?
"I don't trust Madrid and Natasha. They did save them, but they also belong to the White Rose School."
"I know it's not right to treat my saviors this way, but I still feel angry when I see them."
"Chu Yang, don't you think I'm really a bad person?"
After saying that, Erinda looked at Chu Yang in front of her with some nervousness.
"This is actually quite normal, but the difference between humans and wild animals is that humans can control their emotions."
"This matter really doesn't have much to do with the two of them. You must control yourself; time will give you the answer."
Chu Yang spoke solemnly.
After all, even without Natasha and Madrid's arrival, the werewolf and Stanick would still have attacked Elinda's family.
If we were to delve deeper, it would be this bizarre world that truly disrupted Erinda's peaceful life.
"I will try my best to do what you said, and they really have been very good to me."
"But no matter what, you're the only person I trust."
Elinda's gaze became even more serious, and she took out a piece of paper that she had prepared beforehand without hesitation.
After a slight hesitation, Chu Yang finally accepted the note.
"I will try my best not to let you down."
As night fell, Chu Yang disguised himself and arrived near his destination via a pre-planned route.
When he passed a small river, he even soaked his entire body before continuing his journey.
There are many people like him.
Because many shady people use this method to get around.
On his way here, he even saw many other people walking along the road, their bodies soaked and their hearts heavy with sweat.
After eliminating as much danger as possible, Chu Yang slowly made a large detour and finally arrived in front of a small villa.
Looking up at the somewhat luxurious villa in front of him, Chu Yang shook his head speechlessly.
"It seems Mr. Holmes must have been preparing for this for a while, otherwise how could he have arranged such a property in such a hurry?"
Looking at the house in front of him, Chu Yang did not immediately go inside.
He immediately used his Pure White Eyes to continuously observe the villa.
They even used their spiritual power to create a strong barrier, carefully observing every detail on the surface.
After finally finding nothing amiss, he used the method on the note Natasha had left to find the key and pushed open the door to go inside.
As soon as he stepped through the gate, he sensed a ghost lunging at him.
However, he had already seen through all of this, and immediately began reciting Fergus's secret language.
The ghost was easily bound to the open ground nearby, unable to attack him at all.
"Is this ghost the first line of defense, judging merit solely by the aura of those who enter the gate?"
"But this ghost is far too weak."
Chu Yang did not execute the ghost immediately, but instead imprisoned it completely in an open space nearby.
Then he began to carefully search the house in front of him.
Finally, without hesitation, we entered the basement.
There was only this one medium-sized box in the basement room.
After opening the small box, Chu Yang found nearly a thousand pounds of cash inside.
There are also potion recipes for the Corpse Collector and the next sequence he will continue to follow.
In addition, there is a special false identity that can withstand investigation.
"It seems Mr. Holmes has made quite a few preparations for Elinda."
With these funds and this false identity, Erinda can definitely find a new place to start a new life.
"But Mr. Holmes has only just become an Extraordinary; where does he get the ability to do all this?"
"Could it have been given to me by that demigod?"
Chu Yang couldn't help but stroke his chin thoughtfully.
The power of a demigod is indeed difficult to fathom.
The demigod behind Holmes is also extremely special.
But he doesn't believe that anyone can be so kind as to be capitalist.
Kind people simply cannot survive in this world.
In the end, he put everything into the box, packed it away, and quickly handed it to Elinda.
"Elinda, there should be enough stuff in here for you to leave this city. Are you ready to go?"
Chu Yang asked with some curiosity.
"I'm preparing to leave as soon as possible. Miss Natasha said the Punisher squad has been looking for me."
"I won't come back here until I have enough strength."
"And I also need time to become stronger."
After a moment of silence, Erinda began to explain.
Chu Yang nodded in full agreement.
The official extraordinary individuals still didn't care too much about Elinda.
Otherwise, once a stronger Extraordinary One arrives, it will only take a moment for Elinda to be found.
We may never see each other again.
Elinda's eyes were filled with reluctance.
"Don't worry, I'll come find you when I have the chance."
Chu Yang couldn't help but pat Irene's head, while in his pocket was a note that had been written in advance.
It showed the address of the place Elinda was about to go.
This also shows just how much trust Erinda has in him.
After they parted ways, Chu Yang stopped caring about Elinda.
He never intended to personally see Elinda off.
After all, that girl is involved in too many secrets, and continuing to get involved would definitely not be a good thing.
All he can do now is pray silently in his heart.
But it's likely that no god in this world will answer his prayers.
After this matter was settled, he devoted himself entirely to the study of Fergus's Secret Language.
Of course, he will also devote himself more wholeheartedly to cracking the code through the All-Knowing Eye, specifically the ring that Manhattan had taken off.
He would also take time to help his teacher with some simple assigned tasks.
After carrying out numerous missions, coupled with Manhattan's constant advocacy and support, Chu Yang has gained considerable fame in this neighborhood.
On a quiet afternoon, a strikingly beautiful woman walked into the studio.
The woman was wearing a black dress, a hat, and even black gloves.
This woman has very fair skin, and her face looks exceptionally stunning.
What struck Chu Yang most were those azure eyes.
He even sensed a strong allure and seduction in those eyes.
Manhattan was busy with other matters, so it was Chu Yang who ended up receiving the lady.
Even though Chu Yang was used to seeing beautiful women and had been bombarded by internet celebrities from the previous world, he was still momentarily stunned when he saw this lady.
"Madam, I am Chu Yang, Mr. Manhattan's only assistant. Mr. Manhattan will probably not return until tomorrow."
"If you have any important requests, it would be best to come to the studio at 11:00 AM tomorrow."
Chu Yang believed that the troubles surrounding such a beautiful woman were definitely not simple.
He didn't think that a woman like that would easily entrust her case to a small-time detective like him.
Therefore, this woman must be looking for Manhattan.
The woman narrowed her eyes slightly, a faint smile appearing on her face.
It was just an ordinary gesture, yet it instantly exuded a powerful allure from her. (End of Chapter)
