2 Huang Jiahui
In a narrow bedroom, even packing several people inside would make the room feel crowded. The low ceiling and the surrounding walls were a predominantly white color.
The lighting which hung from the ceiling was made of fluorescent which emitted warm light.
In the center of this room was a wooden bed, and there were also a small table and chair. Atop the bed was the laying Mo Yuan.
This place was located near Zhao Yali's room.
"Ohh…"
Even Mo Yuan could not help but reminiscent of this room. He felt that it was exactly the same room he had before in his old world.
Mo Yuan glanced at the black watch on his left wrist and checked the time.
As he thought, there was no time for him to spend waffling around.
Mo Yuan then opened the System again.

"An Inventory, and an ability Predation... huh, and why was it that some of my attributes and skills increased?"
After several rounds of thought, Mo Yuan could only come to the conclusion he had started with.
"I see... my old stats integrated to this body of the previous Luo Yuan."
Driven by curiosity, Mo Yuan then opened up the console and began to read through the details of the new Special Skill, Predation.
『Predation: Absorbs the target, acquiring its abilities.』
「Warning: Not applicable to humans and non-living.」
Mo Yuan's shoulders shook violently, and the words he could no longer hold back exploded forth:
"Are you kidding me!? I would not even use it on humans, even if it is applicable."
He pounded the bed as he shouted.
However, these feelings dispersed like mist as Mo Yuan continued skimming through.
『Inventory: Stores all your items.』
The intricacy of the System, especially the new feature, Inventory was enough to make people like Mo Yuan to gasp in awe.
"This feature would be pretty useful in the future."

As time passed, the sun slowly rose, its light banishing the darkness that covered the buildings — passed through the windowpane of the room toward Mo Yuan's sleeping face. His consciousness was gradually awakened by it.
The first thing Mo Yuan did after getting up extra early in the morning was to exercise. He had developed the habit of the previous Luo Yuan. By this time, Zhao Yali just came out of the bathroom. He then greeted her, but only to be replied by a distracted smile.
Mo Yuan knew that Zhao Yali was worried of her boyfriend, of not coming back home.
Mo Yuan suppressed the emotions that were rising like a tide, and walked through the doors after checking the time.
Even though Mo Yuan did not have his own memories with Chen Weiqiang, still he felt bad about it. But there's nothing he can do, Chen Weiqiang might be dead by now already.
Mo Yuan cast out the thoughts which had rose up inside him again. Now was not the time for fooling round, he had a mission to finish.
Mo Yuan recalled that Chen Weiqiang was not on the Ministry of Forestry, but up the hill on forestry station in Gaotang Town.
Mo Yuan did not want to waste time. He then called out for a cab, heading toward the Police Station instead of forestry station.
☣ ☣ ☣
Along the way in Donghu City, Mo Yuan who was comfortably sitting was watching the dead corpses of snakes, rats, and sometimes even weasels and dogs on the road.
"It is getting worse... huh."
After a couple of minutes, Mo Yuan reached the Police Station.
He got off the cab, paid the driver and directly went into the Chief Inspector's office, where he met Chief Inspector Xie. Mo Yuan then explained everything, leading Chief Inspector Xie to accused the officers of forestry station.
"How could it take them so long to realize? It's almost 24 hours!"
Chief Inspector Xie moaned in frustration, took out his phone and walked out. When he returned, there was a desperate, harried look on his face, which only made Mo Yuan feel excited.
Mo Yuan knew that he will be meeting the person he wants to meet soon, the woman that was part of the previous Lou Yuan's harem, that was the sole reason why he came here in the first place.
Instead of going directly toward the place where Chen Weiqiang have gone missing.
"Haa… let's leave it at this. After we find them, we'll inform you immediately. Mo Yuan, you can go back now."
Mo Yuan then approached the chief, urge him to let him join the search. After all, all of his efforts coming here would be worth nothing if he can't even see a glimpse of that person.
Convinced, Chief Inspector Xie called for Captain Chen, ordering him to form a team of five people in it, including Mo Yuan.
Captain Chen in assiduous gaze studied Mo Yuan's body, and then stepped forward:
"Follow me!"
They quietly left the Chief's office.

As they were approaching the corridor, Mo Yuan saw three people, waiting.
As Mo Yuan turned to look at his left, there he caught sight of the woman he have been waiting for, coming into view.
She was a beautiful woman who wore a short-sleeved police uniform outfit, and the faint smile on her face was that of a goddess. In stark contrast to her outfit, her hair was a flowing, lustrous jet-black that reached down to her waist.
Although her brownish irises and vertically-slitted pupils were somewhat odd, apart from those she could easily be considered a world-class beauty. However, he remembered that she was not pure anymore. In addition, she already have a child.
But these did not stop Mo Yuan's true feelings on making her his woman.
She wore a stocking that was patterned after a spiderweb, which extended from the border of her skirt down to her feet.
Her slender shoulders were covered by the sleeve of the uniform she was wearing.
Her name, Mo Yuan had never forgotten, Huang Jiahui.
