Chu Yunsheng had a bad habit. It was that he would often make blind and disorderly conjectures, and every time when it happened, it would take him a lot of time to form those conjectures. This was the habit he had when he was a software engineer, and later on, it became even worse when he was trapped in the zero-dimensional space, and it has affected him even until now.
When he was immersed in the world of thinking, the girl, who was maintaining a very awkward half-standing and half-sitting posture finally could not endure it anymore. She could not help but ask in a very quiet voice, “can, can I move?”
“What?”
Chu Yunsheng’s thought was disrupted by her.
“Can, can I move?”
The girl repeated timidly and carefully. Like a twisted statue, her current posture was indeed not a very pleasing sight. Her muscles were so sore that the pain was even visible on her face, although she tried very hard to hide it. After all, before she came here, people told her that the man in front of her had killed a lot of people. If it weren’t for the fact that she really could not endure it, she would not dare to make a sound at all.
“You can sit down, it’s fine now.” Chu Yunsheng was not a careless person. After he stopped thinking, he immediately realized that the girl was maintaining a quite painful posture. To avoid her feeling even more embarrassed, he immediately changed the topic and said, “since you are here, there is something we need to discuss.”
The girl nodded and sat down obediently. Her muscles could finally be relaxed, but she didn’t dare to look at Chu Yunsheng’s eyes. So, she could only lower her head slightly, looked at the bed, and played with her fingers nervously while waiting for the thing that they told her to happen.
“Don’t be nervous, tell me what your name is first.” Chu Yunsheng lit up a cigarette and said, but this time, he opened the window. He must use the cigarette to calm down the anxious mind that was caused by the “non-existent person” as soon as possible. Otherwise, he would not be able to talk to the people that were sent here by the No.1, that old man.
“Chu Yue.” The girl said quietly.
“Your surname is Chu!?” Chu Yunsheng asked in surprise. What does the No.1, that old man want? Finding this girl to disgust him?
The girl nodded, still afraid to look at Chu Yunsheng.
“Do you know what my surname is?” Chu Yunsheng frowned while trying to figure out the intention of the No. 1.
“Yes.” The girl suddenly raised her head and said seriously, “you are from one of the Chu family’s branches, and me too, but I am from a different branch.”
Chu Yunsheng’s gaze gradually became colder, and it was even with a hint of anger, “do you know what they sent you here for?”
The girl nodded. Her head was lowered again, and her body suddenly became a little stiff.
“Since you know, then, let me ask you, are you really willing to do it?” Chu Yunsheng asked without any expression.
The girl answered with an extremely quiet voice as if it was made by a mosquito, “yes.”
“Yes my ass!” Chu Yunsheng suddenly stood up and laughed, “look at me, I don’t know you, and I am not handsome, I am just a complete stranger to you, and you say you are willing to have sex with me?!”
The girl was startled by his reactions. She also stood up nervously, however, she still did not know what she should say. In the end, she could only stutter, “I, I, am really willing to do it.”
Chu Yunsheng was completely lost for words. He could only sit back down again and said, “since you have already decided to do it, why are you telling me that your surname is Chu? Are you trying to disgust me?”
The girl seemed to know in advance that Chu Yunsheng would have such a question, so she quickly explained, “Master said that you are a smart person, and if we suddenly send a woman to you, you will definitely not accept it, so it is better to tell you the truth.”
Chu Yunsheng nodded. The No. 1, that old man, was indeed a very smart person, so he knew for sure that after threatening him with his aunt’s family in Shanghai, there was no way he would accept a woman from Chu Clan.
But he still did it, which meant that there must be something else he was offering. That was why Chu Yunsheng would see this girl. He wanted to see what the No. 1 was planning.
So he nodded his head and said, “then tell me, what kind of truth are you going to tell me.”
The girl said honestly, “Have you heard of Chu Clan’s knowledge and techniques? Master said that since you are unwilling to cooperate with him, he only hopes that you can father a child to strengthen your sub-branch of the Chu family and let the child inherit Chu Clan’s knowledge and techniques in the future. In exchange, the Chu Clan’s disciples will help you persuade other people in the capital and ask them to order the Nanjing Military area command to defend Shanghai and achieve your goal.”
So, this was the old man’s condition. It was not a bad, and very practical condition. It was just something Chu Yunsheng needed at the moment. If Chu Yunsheng had not known that what the No.1 really wanted was just the right to inherit the ancient book, this condition would be very tempting for him.
But Chu Yunsheng did not plan to tell the girl that he knew Chu Clan’s knowledge and techniques. He just simply asked, “so, do you know any Chu Clan’s knowledge and techniques?”
The girl nodded and said, “a little bit.”
Chu Yunsheng pretended to be curious and said, “then show me.”
The girl said embarrassedly, “I need a sword.”
Chu Yunsheng thought for a second, took out the Fire Clan’s flaming sword from the storage talisman, and handed her, “you can use this.”
The girl was stunned. It was the first time for her to see this kind of weapon, and she was more surprised by how Chu Yunsheng took out a sword from thin air.
“What’s wrong?” Chu Yunsheng frowned and said?
The girl quickly came back from the shock and said in panic, “nothing.” Then she quickly took the sword, tried to feel its weight first, and then began to swing the sword in the room.
In the flashing light reflected by the sword blade, the girl’s figure became more and more ethereal, Chu Yunsheng’s pupils suddenly contracted and he once again stood up.
The girl stopped immediately, not knowing what happened.
“Tell your master that I have agreed to the condition, but there is a slight change. Firstly, I have to see the military deployment order first. Secondly, you stay with me for the time being and let them send another woman. You are not suitable for this.”
Chu Yunsheng could not help but sigh. When the girl just came in, he already felt that the girl looked a little familiar to him. Although he could not remember exactly when and where he had seen this girl, he was sure that she was definitely not someone he knew before the dark age. Only when the girl started to wave the sword did he finally remember that when he was still at the Arctic base, in order to help him to regroup with eight hundred Mins, Chu Clan sacrificed a powerful swordmaster, who they had trained for many years. When she disguised as him and flew out of the arctic base, Chu Yunsheng only caught a glimpse of what she looked like, but he did not expect that he would be able to see her here again.
Speaking of this, the girl’s fate was indeed very unfortunate. She was ordered to sacrifice her life for him outside the Pseudo-Monolith, and inside the Pseudo-Monolith she was ordered to sacrifice her virginity. Originally, Chu Yunsheng wanted to humiliate her by telling her that her acting skill was very bad, and she should stop pretending to be innocent. But after he recognized this girl, he could no longer bring himself to say it.
Maybe it was God who wanted him to make up for what she had done for him, so she was sent to meet him again. Anyway, since he met her again, he decided to let her stay lest the No. 1 that old man would send her to die again.
Chu Yue didn’t know these reasons. She did not understand why Chu Yunsheng did not want to have sex with her but still wanted her to stay. However, hearing his determined tone, she also did not dare to say no. She could only nod her head quietly.

On the next day, when there was just a faint sunlight outside the window, Yu Jian hurried back with Yu Xiaohai, but what surprised Chu Yunsheng was that Song Ying also followed.
Today was already the twenty-seventh, and there was only one day left before the complete darkness. Chu Yunsheng had no energy and time to persuade Song Ying to go back. Since she was here, he might as well give her some tasks.
It was just that when Song Ying saw him, she almost cried out loud. She wanted to explain what happened in the university town, but when Chu Yue appeared, it instantly attracted her attention, and it seemed like she suddenly became very hostile toward her.
Seeing this, Yu Xiaohai was constantly winking at him with a smirk.
“Brother Chu, we are so worried about you, but you are here doing this.” Yu Xiaohai pulled Chu Yunsheng aside and said while having a lecherous smile on his face and looking at the girl.
“Stop joking around. Tell me about the situation in Shanghai.” Chu Yunsheng glared at him and said.
Yu Xiaohai quickly stopped smiling. He knew what Chu Yunsheng cared about the most, so he nodded and said, “You can rest assured that I have been to the hospital personally and then Professor Sun’s lab. Auntie Chu and her family are all good, and Uncle Jing is also receiving the treatment. But they are worried about your safety.”
The situation was similar to what Chu Yunsheng had expected. As long as there was nothing serious, he would not ask more. Su Su had basically told him everything over the phone already, but he just wanted to make sure.
“I have important things for you to do. I don’t trust other people.” After Yu Jian left, Chu Yunsheng immediately said.
Yu Xiaohai was thrilled when he heard Chu Yunsheng said this. He immediately said, “Brother Chu, just tell me what it is, I will definitely get it done!”
“There is a list here, you and Song Ying need to find as many people on this list as possible. With Song Ying helping you, Yu Jian will definitely cooperate with you fully. Moreover, let me introduce someone to you.”
Yu Xiaohai took a piece of paper that had many names on it and asked in surprise, “Who are they?”
Chu Yunsheng smiled and said, “You will know in the future. Come and meet Old Youling. This task, you will need its help as well.”
“Old Youling?” Yu Xiaohai only managed to speak those two words, and then his face instantly became stiffened.
