Chu Yang's Visit!

"God and the devil played a game, and God was sent to hell. I played another game with the devil, and the devil was sent to meet God by me."

"Strange, why haven't I landed yet?"

The Splitter kept falling from the sky but didn't land for a long time.

Confused, the Splitter took out his phone and dialed a number.

"Hello, boss, it's me."

"I'm in the sky right now, yes, the wind is a bit strong, and the signal isn't very good. Can you hear me clearly, boss?"

"What?"

The wind howled, and the voice on the phone was indistinct.

Until Chen Ye took a deep breath and slowly uttered one word.

"Roll."

Roll?

"Roll has the water radical on the side, which means I'm going to fall into..."

Splash!

As the words fell, the 009 Splitter plunged headfirst into the sea.

After a while, the Splitter surfaced in the boundless sea. "As expected of the boss, he even predicted that I would fall into the sea."

The Splitter pushed his hair back. "This is definitely not a coincidence. After all, the character for 'roll' can also be broken down into 'clothes,' and clothes get wet. Isn't this hint obvious enough?"

"Then, what does the top part of the character for 'roll' mean?"

"A horizontal stroke and a dot, with 'gong' below. Wait, could it be..."

"The horizontal stroke and dot are actually an image, referring to how I should return?"

With that thought, the Splitter took out the Black Arrow, aimed it in a direction, and threw it forcefully.

The Black Arrow shot out, and the Splitter grabbed it, sitting directly on it.

Logical, so logical!

"As expected of the boss, he even thought of using the Black Arrow's absolute accuracy to get me back to the mainland!"

The Splitter set the Black Arrow's target on a building in North Ridge City, and then he rode the arrow, flying back with it. It was truly so logical!

"Then, since the method of returning was also within the boss's predictions, the 'gong' character below, being under the horizontal stroke and dot, must mean that I should continue to carry out official duties after returning!"

"Don't worry, boss, I'll be back soon!"

North Ridge City.

Inside a coffee shop.

Chen Ye sat in the shop, leisurely drinking coffee. "It's rare for the weather to be this nice and quiet, but there aren't many customers."

Hmm?

As Chen Ye thought, he suddenly turned his head to look outside the shop and saw a young man with black hair standing at the entrance of the coffee shop.

Upon seeing the youth, Chen Ye's gaze suddenly became intense.

Yo, a rare visitor.

He was just thinking about whether to go find him, but unexpectedly, he came on his own.

The person standing in front of Chen Ye's shop was none other than Chu Yang.

Chu Yang pushed open the door and entered the coffee shop. His gaze fell directly on Chen Ye, and after entering, he sat down opposite Chen Ye.

Seeing Chu Yang, Chen Ye revealed a smile. "May I ask who you are?"

"You should have seen me, and I should have seen you," Chu Yang interrupted Chen Ye directly.

Hearing Chu Yang's words, Chen Ye suddenly put away his smile.

This guy means business.

If he remembered correctly, their first meeting should have been in front of the gates of Nanyan.

Although it was just a passing encounter, Chen Ye deeply remembered Chu Yang.

It was because there was something about Chu Yang that deeply attracted Chen Ye, and that feeling was exceptionally peculiar.

It was like a mosquito spotting a blood collection room, a mouse entering a granary, or a blonde guy encountering a married woman.

But, he shouldn't not recognize Chen Ye.

Today, he had clearly come for Chen Ye.

Recalling his previous theory of hypothetical enemies, Chen Ye's heart couldn't help but fall into hesitation.

Chu Yang might belong to some organization. If he recognized Chen Ye, the only possibility of him finding Chen Ye...

was that Chen Ye had been exposed.

But Chen Ye couldn't figure out how he had been exposed.

And if he was exposed, how much did Chu Yang know about him?

Seeing Chen Ye remain silent, Chu Yang suddenly reached out and took off his jacket.

Upon seeing this, Chen Ye licked his lips, "You came prepared."

Chu Yang was covered in bombs connected by various mechanical wires, and there were quite a lot of them.

He spread his arms, looking as if he were at Chen Ye's mercy, "You can try cutting them with your threads. If even one thread is wrong, all the bombs will detonate instantly."

"Don't let the amount fool you, this is all concentrated essence. This much is enough to blow up a building in an instant."

"Also, this bomb has three detonation methods."

"One is remote control by someone outside, another is if my vital signs disappear, and the third is cutting the wrong wire."

Chen Ye subtly tugged at his threads, and invisible puppets began to rapidly approach Chu Yang!

But strangely, Chu Yang suddenly pointed to his ear, "I suggest you don't do that, I can hear."

"I'm here to negotiate, Weaver of Fate."

Hearing this, Chen Ye propped his head with his hand and looked sideways at Chu Yang, "I hate being threatened."

Chu Yang shook his head, "This isn't a threat, it's just a means of self-preservation."

"If I don't do this, then coming to see you would just be walking to my death."

Tsk!

Chen Ye clicked his tongue.

If what Chu Yang said was true, a bomb of this magnitude could indeed kill Chen Ye if it detonated.

If Chen Ye could control his body without harming him, making him run out of here himself, that would indeed be a solution.

But he had also mentioned another detonation method: remote detonation by someone outside.

This implied that Chu Yang wasn't the only one who had come.

In the worst-case scenario, the outside might already be surrounded, and their conversation was being monitored by people outside.

If anything went wrong, the people outside would directly press the detonation button.

As for whether they would dare to do it, Chen Ye wasn't sure, but he certainly didn't like gambling.

However, if Chu Yang could kill him here, it wasn't necessarily true. At least Chen Ye had made many preparations to deal with such unexpected situations.

"Then let's talk. But before that, I'd like to ask, how did you know my identity? Feel free to elaborate," Chen Ye said.

How Chu Yang knew Chen Ye's identity stemmed from a diary.

He didn't know if anyone else remembered, but in the very beginning, someone had published a novel online, and that novel had predicted a dismemberment case involving nine people.

The perpetrator was a Fishman.

The author of that novel held a diary that could predict the future.

After the attack by the Guardian Bees, Chu Yang and his group accidentally found this person and learned about part of the future from him.

Especially regarding the biggest villain, the monster creator, 006.

His true identity was merely the owner of a coffee shop.

They had a discussion about this, and in the end, everyone unanimously agreed that if what that person said was true, then 006 had to be killed!

Because as long as 006 wasn't dead, one day, Earth would become a planet of monsters!

Chu Yang took a deep breath, "I don't want to discuss this. As I said, I'm here to negotiate. Before that."

"We'd like to ask, what is your purpose in doing all this?"

Purpose?

Chen Ye fell into thought upon hearing this.

A long time ago, before Chen Ye obtained the Double-eared Pot, he had been reading a book about humans and gods.

Human effort has its limits, while divine power is boundless.

"What was the biggest gamble you ever took?" Chen Ye suddenly asked.

Chu Yang frowned.

"Coming to see you with my head on a platter was my biggest gamble."

Heh.

Chen Ye smiled, "Is that so? The biggest gamble I ever took was three hundred and thirty thousand, betting on my mother's life."

"I lost the bet."

"I gave the money to the hospital, I placed my hope in others, and others sent me a death notice in return."

"It's both pathetic and laughable, isn't it?"

But people cannot control their so-called destiny; an accident can easily take the life of your loved one.

Imagine, when disaster strikes, we can only watch helplessly as Death walks past you, taking your loved ones.

This is what it means to be human.

Humans who passively accept their fate, who say "my fate is mine to decide, not Heaven's," have already walked into a trap designed by destiny the moment they utter those words.

If humans cannot overcome fate, if they can only passively accept its manipulations, then why bother being human at all?

"Humans can't change anything."

But God can.

When Death swings its scythe and takes the life of your closest kin, first sever Death's head and send It back to hell.

The way to defeat Death is to become Death.

The way to break fate is to become fate.

"Is this reason sufficient?"
