Chapter 19: "Prop Name": The Cat with Its Tail Held High.

"But I have to say, little brother, you're a good person too."

The boss seemed quite emotional as he wiped his hands on his apron, "Those who came to collect Points always said that these things were useless and not worth a penny."

"Those people really think I'm a fool, but I'm just old, not senile..."

"It's just that our aspirations are different."

"We're just ordinary folks who want to live our days in peace. Alright, little brother, I won't chat any longer; I've got more customers to attend to. I'll get busy now."

"Next time you come to eat, I'll add some extra slices of meat for you."

"..."

Tuberculosis Rabbit looked at the boss's retreating figure, hesitated as if he wanted to say something, but still quickly pulled out a cigarette from his chest and hurried toward Yi."

"I'm here, Yi."

"Wait for me!"

...

"This time, we must call on you."

At the entrance of Zhongdeng Mall, a uniformed enforcement officer spoke wearily, "Besides you, no one dares to take this job."

"Chen Yi, right?"

"We've investigated your records. In your medical history, you have absolutely no emotion of fear."

"In the whole of Yancheng, you're the only one with this illness."

"This means that you can completely ignore the Calm and Cool rule of May."

"There is currently a group of people in Yancheng who have begun to deliberately spread some horror films, and today, quite a few people have died."

"As you know, these past few days have been the '520 limited-time event', where the Cupid Monster will randomly appear in the city. The Law Enforcement Bureau's manpower is spread thin putting out fires everywhere, simply overwhelmed."

"In the movie theater on the fifth floor, nearly hundreds of people have died in every screening room."

"Someone... someone..."

At this point, the enforcement officer suddenly raised his voice in anger, "Someone has gone mad and kidnapped a bunch of people, forced them into the theaters, and then played horror films on the big screen!!!"

"We checked the security footage, but the recordings for this area were all lost today, and there isn't a single eyewitness."

"We're currently searching vigorously for this group of people."

"But the most important thing now is to clean up all the corpses in the theaters. Otherwise, if all those bodies rot, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Chen Yi furrowed his brow, paused for a while, and then said, "You mentioned that someone deliberately kidnapped people, then forced them to watch horror films."

For some reason, he thought of someone.

The so-called CEO of the Rising Group.

This person had sent Captain Li to catch him, just to find out what reward he had gotten from the chest.

And obviously, the other party was also aware of the prerequisite for triggering that special event.

He pondered for a while before nodding his head.

"Alright, I understand. But the Skill Fragments next to those bodies must have been picked up by now, right?"

"How will the payment be?"

"A flat rate of 3000 Points."

"Deal."

...

Chen Yi carrying his package, led Tuberculosis Rabbit to the entrance of the cinema.

The lights inside were all on; the environment wasn't dark at all.

Yet just standing at the entrance of the movie theater, one could see blood flowing out from seven or eight theaters visible in front, like rivers, slowly streaming.

The stench of blood was extremely pungent as it invaded one's nostrils.

"Goodness."

Tuberculosis Rabbit muttered in shock, "How many people died, Yi? These people must have been doing it to trigger that special event, right?"

"In the past, I feel even wiping out their nine clans wouldn't have been too much."

"Hmm."

Chen Yi frowned, pulled out a stack of body bags from his package, and took out a set of isolation gear to start putting on.

"I can go in by myself this time."

"You just wait outside, it's different from before, you probably can't handle it?"

"Wait outside?"

The Tuberculosis Rabbit was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously swept his gaze around the empty fifth floor and the blood-filled movie, suddenly feeling a chill breeze from somewhere, causing his body to shiver instantly.

"Forget it, Yi, I feel like I'm more likely to get into trouble if I'm out here alone."

"Following behind you, Yi, I'd feel a bit safer, as long as we don't get separated."

Chen Yi glanced at the Tuberculosis Rabbit and said nothing, just took out another isolation suit from his bag and threw it over: "Put it on, and take out that Prop you've been daydreaming about too."

"Right."

The Tuberculosis Rabbit's eyes lit up, hastily pulling out a Prop from his bosom.

This Prop was one they had drawn from the "520 Limited Time Gift Pack" yesterday.

It fell under the category of life Props.

Initially thought to be of little use, it turned out to be quite handy at this moment.

'Prop Name': Cat with Tail in the Air.

'Prop Level': E-grade.

'Prop Effect': It allows your mind to be filled with lewd thoughts for 3 hours straight, while maintaining an aroused state constantly.

'Prop Restrictions': After each use, you will enter a 3-day period of weakness.

'Prop Description': "Do you know why it's E-grade? Because after using this Prop, your body will emit a scent that a female cat gives off when seeking a mate, which might attract some male cats."

This Prop, to tell the truth, was rather useless.

At least for the two of them it was.

But using it here was different.

It could keep his mind filled with the thought of mating, so he wouldn't think of ghosts.

However, if he could find the right customer, it might actually sell for a good price.

...

"Did you find anything?"

Gao Yiming leaned on the desk with a somewhat gloomy expression, talking to Uncle Wei on the phone.

"No."

Uncle Wei's hoarse voice came through the phone quickly: "Didn't find anything, but it's likely not the work of the former hooligans in Yancheng, they've had no moves last night or today."

"But to do such a thing, it must be no minor force."

"Still investigating."

"Hmm."

Gao Yiming looked displeased, the veins on the back of his hand stood out slightly as he flattened a silicone toy on the desk: "Idiots, they're complete idiots."

"Although Yancheng is chaotic now, the system of the Law Enforcement Bureau and the military is still fundamentally intact."

"Under such circumstances, to commit such an act so openly is simply seeking death!"

He wasn't feeling sorry for the people at the cinema, but these people acting so reckless could easily drag him down with them!

Why else would he send Uncle Wei to the village?

Complete idiots!

Then he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, trying to calm his tone: "How's the progress on your end?"

"Not very good."

The voice on the other end of the phone hesitated for a moment before continuing: "The person who opens the treasure chest must maintain absolute fearlessness in their heart to unlock rewards, or there's a certain chance of drawing out a nightmare, resulting in instant death."

"We've tried to open four treasure chests so far, only one has been opened successfully, the rest exploded."

"However..."

"The file on Chen Yi you asked me to look into today, I've got it."

"This person is naturally void of fear."

"That is to say, as long as we let him open the treasure chests, not only can we be 100% certain of opening the chests, but the rewards may also be exceptional!"
