"Kid, our boss said, if you stay in this place for one night, all the cannabis you took from our gang will be written off!" On the speeding car, Chen Yu was squeezed between two Black men.
One of the Black men spoke to him about what he needed to do, using a rhythmic rap tone.
Chen Yu simply nodded his head silently.
Although he didn't have the memories of his predecessor, he had roughly figured out what had happened.
Simply put, that idiot of a predecessor had borrowed money from the New York gang to buy some cannabis, then played himself to death, leaving Chen Yu to hold the bag. Of course, a gang like that wasn't about to take a loss, and the debt had to be repaid.
So, these Black men had found him and assigned him a "simple" task.
Stay in a house for a night, and then the debt would be settled.
Of course, Chen Yu could guess with his heels that the house wouldn't be ordinary.
[Radiance alert, the destination residence had witnessed seven family annihilations in three years, suspected supernatural incidents, and it had been purchased by Victor, the gang leader's nephew, a week ago.]
[According to the Radiant Federation Network Information Security Legislation, citizens' private information cannot be accessed.]
Radiance, upon knowing about the destination, had completely stripped that place bare, exposing not only the gang's dirty laundry but also some other pieces of information.
Damn Radiant Federation Information Security Legislation.
Otherwise, Chen Yu could completely rely on Radiance's super brain to become a billionaire.
"Supernatural incidents? That's right up my alley," Chen Yu licked his lips. With supernatural powers, couldn't he tap into some of that demonic energy?
By now, he had mostly figured out the specific use of his new function of the dimensional wormhole.
"Isn't this thing like an exchange device? Inject demonic energy, and based on the amount injected, you can get some original items through this dimensional wormhole," Chen Yu glanced at the older Black man next to him, who seemed a bit nervous.
A wormhole is essentially an exchange device, just one that needs a special energy to start up.
All kinds of things were available, including some supplies and military equipment from the Federation, even a Divine Radiance-class cosmic battleship, which is pretty much the aircraft carrier among battleships; of course, he lost count because of the excessive zeros.
[Basic Soldier Gene Modification Reagent/100,000 demonic energies]
This was the first exchange target that caught Chen Yu's eye. Using this could modify body genes to reach the theoretical peak of the species.
It meant he could possess the strength of Tyson, Bolt's speed, something akin to Captain America, and it could also heal hidden injuries, extend life expectancy—extremely practical.
It's just that the required demonic energy was a bit much, a whole 100,000 to exchange for one dose.
In the Federation, you could get it for free if you joined the legion, but now he needed to exchange it; however, having something to exchange was better than nothing.
There were also others like Memory Extraction Devices, fairytale costume sets, and more supplies.
"But they're of no help to my current problem," Chen Yu frowned as he looked at the things that were very tempting to him; his body was too frail. With this, he could handle the people in this car in five seconds.
But the problem was that he now had no energy, not even enough to afford the cheapest item.
[Divine Particle Attachment Device*1/10 energy]
"Sacred particles attachment, huh... This thing is a one-time use product, right?" Chen Yu had a bit of a headache.
This sacred particle attachment device could imbue an object with sacred particles to damage demonic entities from negative planes, but it would become ineffective after one use. Moreover, it was considered a civilian product in the Federation and was even provided for free.
Currently, he couldn't even afford this civilian product.
If he had this device, he would feel more confident.
"Radiance, is the environmental detection module working properly?" Chen Yu communicated with Radiance. Communicating with a superbrain didn't require speaking; direct thought communication was enough.
[All-function module damaged, bodily detection module functioning normally. Captain Chen Yu, please proceed to the nearest Federation maintenance point for repairs.]
Chen Yu pinched his brow. Without the environmental detection device, things were going to be troublesome, but fortunately, without the help of a superbrain, Chen Yu also had his own methods to deal with demons.
Just then, the car stopped, and he was hastily ushered out by the two black men. The house that came into view was a mansion, but it bore an eerie atmosphere.
Weeds grew wildly, completely untended, with ivy even climbing up the glass, fully covering the house.
"Kid, take this phone. You can't come out until 7 AM. We'll be watching you from around here!" One black man roughly stuffed a phone into his hand, his eyes mixed with a trace of panic.
Chen Yu looked at the phone in his hand. It was a very ordinary phone, not even a smartphone, and it still had buttons.
"Quite nostalgic..." Chen Yu smacked his lips. How long had it been since he had seen such a phone?
As Chen Yu turned on the phone, the time also appeared on the screen.
2:23 AM.
After giving him the phone, the two black men revealed the pistols tucked at their waists and watched Chen Yu with threatening eyes. He showed no intention of running and instead walked to the mansion's entrance. The door was unlocked, and a gentle twist opened it.
Chen Yu turned around and saw that the two black men had already crawled back into the car, only their heads sticking out to watch him. In the darkness, he could almost only see their pairs of eyes, which made him want to laugh.
It has to be said that these black men really do have a natural camouflage in the night.
"This is really interesting..." Chen Yu murmured as he entered and then closed the door behind him, casually turning on the light next to him.
Instantly, the warm yellow light illuminated the room, and in the moment it lit up the room, Chen Yu also saw a shadow flicker at the end of the corridor.
It was as if someone had been standing there.
"Child's play." Chen Yu yawned and then scratched his chest; his neck felt itchy.
Marijuana really does harm people profoundly.
Chen Yu looked around the room with interest. The arrangement here was quite nice, showing that the owner was wealthy and had some taste in art.
There were even some oil paintings hanging on the walls.
Chen Yu stopped walking, facing a portrait of a middle-aged woman.
She was dressed opulently with a ruby necklace around her neck.
However, that wasn't why Chen Yu stopped. He stopped because the eyes of this noblewoman were looking at him.
