The pink tentacle coiled around and took away the last leaf resting on Ye Kui’s shoulder.
It touched his face, leaving a trail of glistening, sticky residue.
Ye Kui looked at the building in front of him and sighed softly.
A whole day had passed, and Director Wang still hadn’t come downstairs.
Didn’t that make him, who’d been keeping watch all day, look foolish?
“Zina, should we break in?”
Zina: Break in!
Ye Kui: “Alright!”
Ye Kui hesitated no longer.
He strode forward and barged straight into the building!
Very quickly, he arrived at Director Wang’s apartment door.
He looked at the door before him.
Then, glancing left and right, he saw all the other doors tightly shut, the corridor empty with no one in sight.
A glint flashed in Ye Kui’s eyes.
He lightly tapped the door lock with his index finger.
In an instant, the mighty power of alchemy activated!
The door lock rejoiced, unlocking itself willingly!
Zina’s eyes stared fixedly at Ye Kui’s finger.
If that finger ever pointed at her, Zina couldn’t imagine what a blissful little octopus she’d become.
The door lock really enjoyed itself~
Even inanimate objects could stir up the little octopus’s jealousy.
Ye Kui slipped inside silently, closed the door gently, and scanned the room.
It was dim and quiet.
Without hesitation, Ye Kui quickly entered the bedroom and swept his gaze toward the bed!
The bed was empty.
No one there!
Standing at the bedside, Ye Kui reached out to touch the bed.
Cold.
“He…didn’t come home that night?”
Ye Kui muttered.
For caution’s sake, Ye Kui carefully searched every corner of each room.
Under the bed, he found dozens of teacher-student themed booklets.
In the private folder on the other party’s computer, he saw countless photos secretly taken of female students, as well as a browser full of restored and viewed browsing history related to teacher-student play.
But he didn’t find anyone.
The person wasn’t home.
It was worth noting that in Director Wang’s browsing history, Ye Kui discovered he had once visited a black web.
The content inside…was quite unsightly.
The things Director Wang liked to view—the girls inside looked quite young.
Ye Kui’s eyes narrowed.
He tapped the keyboard twice with his finger.
The computer trembled, its computational power pushed beyond the limit, rapidly cracking the address…
Then, the computer screen flickered violently, wisps of black smoke rising.
At the moment it shut down, it parsed the opponent’s heavily encrypted address.
At the same time, Ye Kui sent back an electronic virus.
Time was too tight—he only managed to set up 99 layers.
Looking at the now completely black screen, Ye Kui gently stroked the computer.
“You’ve worked hard, too.”
A household desktop computer, pushed to its limit, took down countless top-level specialized machines.
Not bad at all.
Computer: To serve such a powerful one—even in death, it’s worth it!
Praise the God of Alchemy!
Ye Kui suddenly noticed something.
He bent down and reached for the floor.
Looking at the plug in his hand, he fell silent.
It seemed the computer wasn’t even plugged in just now.
Such a trivial matter—it was better to ignore it.
Ye Kui stood in the living room, rubbing his chin.
The little mermaid on his shoulder leaped and landed precisely on the table not far away.
Ye Kui was stunned, then subconsciously walked over, ready to grab Zina and put her back on his shoulder.
But his steps paused.
Ye Kui noticed a phone on the table.
Had it always been there?
A trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
He felt it was something he’d overlooked.
He picked it up to look.
The screen was shattered, and it looked a bit damp—had it gotten wet?
Ye Kui checked it over.
The screen was black.
After thinking for a moment, he pressed the power button.
The screen lit up.
In the upper right corner, the battery icon was very eye-catching.
[Battery: 0%]
Ye Kui swiped a few times and confirmed—it was Director Wang’s phone.
A chat window popped up automatically.
Ye Kui’s expression turned a bit strange.
[Serenity Alliance (Qingluo City Branch)]
This person…was that [Department Head].
Good grief, talk about stumbling into things.
Ye Kui glanced over and slid through the other party’s chat contacts a few times.
Then he found a profile picture that was completely black.
It looked rather unusual.
There were a lot of chat records.
Ye Kui casually browsed a few, discovering that this [Department Head]had sold their group’s information to the other party.
What an undercover agent.
The latest chat record was from yesterday morning.
Director Wang had sent a document to the other party.
The file name was: [I am desperately eager to join the Genesis Organization]
Ye Kui: ……
He felt his luck was… pretty good?
At first, he’d just wanted to challenge Director Wang to an immoral duel—a no-limits fight.
But unexpectedly, there were other gains.
A lead on the Genesis Organization…
Ye Kui looked at Zina.
At that moment, Zina was quietly stretching out her tentacle, wrapping it around one of his fingers and leaving a trail of crimson circles as it slowly squirmed.
Upon being caught doing something mischievous, Zina quickly released the tentacle and shrank back.
Ye Kui couldn’t help but laugh.
“Zina, you really are my lucky star.”
Zina’s body nearly melted into water, overwhelmed by her master’s praise~
The phone in Ye Kui’s hand decomposed, instantly transforming into a pitch-black dagger that shot to the side!
It sliced through the darkness in the room!
The cold glint along the blade illuminated the neck it grazed—a trickle of scarlet blood flowed.
Zina was startled!
A third party had appeared in the room?!
With Ye Kui nearby, Zina always gave up thinking.
“Interesting.”
It was a middle-aged man, dressed in black.
He glanced down at the dagger pressing against his neck, showing no panic.
Raising his eyes, he looked at Ye Kui, admiration surfacing within them.
“You’re impressive.”
“Would you like to join our Genesis Organization?”
“We’ve been watching you for quite some time, Ye Kui. You must be an Alchemist.”
“Don’t deny it—the alchemical process just now told me you’re of no small rank.”
Ye Kui’s expression grew increasingly peculiar.
Wait… was this an invitation to infiltrate the enemy’s organization?
Why was Director Wang’s phone here, but he himself wasn’t?
None of the people present thought too deeply about it.
Ye Kui: This guy appeared so suddenly—it’s obvious he probably finished off Director Wang, forgot the phone on the table, and came back for it.
Black-Clothed Man: Originally, I wanted to see why that guy hadn’t replied all day.
Didn’t expect he’d been taken out, the body completely cleaned up, nothing left.
The person before me is ruthless—just the kind of talent the organization needs.
Zina: Ah-choo!
“I have a question.”
“What is it?”
“How do you know my name? Did you really start monitoring me a long time ago? I want the truth.”
“That…of course not.”
The Black-Clothed Man pointed at the little octopus on the table.
Ye Kui followed his gaze.
On the pink octopus, at some point, it was wearing the nameplate Ye Kui had given it before.
A line was engraved on it.
[Ye Kui ♥ Zina]
Ye Kui: ……
So it was Zina who sold him out.
……
[Serenity Alliance (Qingluo City Branch)]
[X (Group Leader): Everyone, are there any leads on the Genesis Organization?]
[Member A: No leads found. Where’s Slacker? Is Slacker slacking off again?]
[Member B: Exactly, Slacker Alchemist, you must be slacking!]
[Member C: Stinky Slacker, say something!]
[X (Group Leader): Slacker Alchemist, don’t tell me you’re slacking again this time?]
Countless eyes lurking on the screen watched calmly.
Such conversations had happened many times before.
They assumed Slacker Alchemist would play dead again and not respond.
But then…
Ding dong ding dong ding dong!
[Slacker Alchemist: Genesis Organization · Badge image.jpg]
[Slacker Alchemist: Genesis Organization · Corridor image.jpg]
[Slacker Alchemist: Genesis Organization · Laboratory image.jpg]
[Slacker Alchemist: Everyone, well…I’ve already infiltrated the Genesis Organization.]
The group went silent for a moment.
Then—it exploded!
[X (Group Leader): ???]
[Member A: ???]
[Member B: ???]
[Member C: ???]
Countless members followed suit with [???], maintaining formation.
Wait, bro…none of us have found any useful leads yet, and you’ve already infiltrated the enemy’s organization?
