Chapter 63 Taking the Initiative
Under the cover of night, the wind and rain raged.
The guesthouse courtyard is like a lone boat in a storm at sea, with dim lights flickering in the darkness.
The atmosphere inside was unusually lively.
The door was locked from the inside, and the key was hidden in the cleavage of Lina's chest.
The extreme weather, coupled with the enclosed environment, stirred up the hidden nature within everyone present.
Just like Lina said, no one will know what happened here tonight, and everyone can let loose.
The lively saxophone music had somehow transformed into a high-energy rock 'n' roll tune, and the disco ball had been switched to dance mode, with colorful light spots of various shapes swirling and illuminating every corner of the living room.
The thunder and the patter of wind and rain against the windows sounded like a rapid drumbeat, urging everyone to get moving.
Young men and women no longer stay in their own positions, but boldly reach out to their desired targets and invite them onto the dance floor.
Several girls came to Yu Jing's side one after another, but he politely declined them all.
As for Xu Lang, who was just arguing with him about the ring, he was no longer in his original position. He was completely immersed in the atmosphere of the scene and even forgot his previous agreement. He abandoned Yu Jing and went straight to his goal.
"This situation is troublesome..."
Leaning back in a chair in the corner, Yu Jing's gaze swept over the closed doors and windows, the bustling living room, and finally landed on the crowd that was gradually getting excited. He picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and pondered the ratio of monsters to humans in the room.
To be honest, he didn't care about the lives of these strangers. Even when facing Xu Lang, he only tried to dissuade him once.
However, with so many people gathered here, the atmosphere is heading towards a state that is hard to describe.
Having completed his spiritual awakening, Yu Jing could vaguely sense the restlessness permeating the air.
It's not just because young men and women are releasing hormones; it also harbors a deeper malice and hunger.
The storm unleashed not only human nature, but also the monsters lurking within it, who were struggling to suppress their bloodlust.
"The Bureau of Paranormal Investigations has responded; they are dispatching personnel and will arrive at the scene in about twenty minutes."
Suddenly, Aoki's voice came through the headphones, paused, and then added,
"The storm is a bit larger than expected. The mercenaries and I are heading your way, trying to maintain our disguises and hopefully stall until the Bureau of Investigation arrives. Then we'll just have to deal with the monster disguised as Sammi Cheng."
Plans never keep up with changes.
Extreme weather inevitably affected the efficiency of the Bureau of Investigation's operations.
They had arranged patrols in the old town of San Dun tonight, with the same idea as the Green Demon—to lure the snake out of its hole. After receiving a tip, they immediately changed their plans, which can be described as a quick response.
However, with the airships unable to travel due to the storm, driving a car quickly through the complex terrain of the old town of San Dun to reach the remote guesthouse is still not an easy task.
In fact, this is the main reason why the Rain Demon chose to hold this party tonight.
The Bureau of Paranormal Investigations believed that the Rain Demon would continue to strike on rainy nights as before, waiting for an opportunity to attack passersby.
Little did they know that they had already changed their tactics, instead using their camouflage abilities to lure large numbers of victims to remote locations before capturing them all at once.
Delaying for twenty minutes doesn't seem that difficult; it's just the time it takes for a few songs and a few dances.
But the sights he caught out of the corner of his eye constantly told Yu Jing that they were about to lose their temper.
Several young men and women were swaying freely on the dance floor, while some of them were behaving strangely on the sofas or bars around them. Some were grabbing handfuls of snacks from the table and stuffing them into their mouths, while others were leaning forward and staring intently at the dance floor. Their youthful and beautiful faces gradually became distorted under the dim lights.
Yu Jing turned his gaze to the organizer of the party, fitness influencer Lina.
She sat on the largest sofa by the dance floor, tilting her head back and sipping red wine. Perhaps noticing Yu Jing's gaze, she suddenly turned her head and looked over, then made a gesture to get up, clearly intending to invite Yu Jing over.
No, this guy is most likely their leader, we can't give her the chance to "lose her temper".
We need to avoid her until the Bureau of Investigation arrives and find a way to stall for time!
A sudden inspiration struck him, and before Lina could approach, Yu Jing stood up and walked straight across the dance floor to stand in front of Sammi Cheng.
"Beautiful lady, may I have this dance?"
Yu Jing extended his hand to Sammi Cheng, inviting her with a smile.
Even though he knew in his heart that she was a monster in disguise, Yu Jing had to pretend he didn't know.
The purpose was to use her as a shield, and to keep her by his side so that the Bureau of Investigation could take her out first when they entered the scene, ensuring the successful completion of the mission.
Sammi Cheng looked at Yu Jing, but before she could speak, he grabbed her arm and dragged her to the dance floor.
The upbeat music continued, and the two entered the dance floor and blended into the swaying crowd.
However, Sammi Cheng seems to have some issues with her physical coordination. She even had some difficulty controlling her facial muscles before. It's likely that something went wrong during the disguise process, or perhaps she had just finished the disguise and hadn't fully adapted to the body yet.
Yu Jing pretended not to notice at all, immersing herself in her dance.
It doesn't matter that he can't dance. He was just trying to avoid Lina and stall for time as much as possible. So he just moved casually to the music, raising his left foot and grinding it against the floor, raising his arms halfway in front of him, and swaying his whole body from side to side, looking very relaxed.
Lina, who was standing nearby, stopped in her tracks upon seeing this, as if she wanted to continue admiring her prey.
Seeing that the plan to delay the time had succeeded, Yu Jing was overjoyed, but then he seemed to realize something and frowned.
While he was secretly watching Lina's movements, Sammi Cheng, who was standing in front of him, began to act strangely.
His body, which had just been cooperating with Yu Jing's movements, was now frozen in place.
She stared intently at Yu Jing in front of her, or more precisely, at his vibrant young body.
Instinct told her that the body before her was a rare find, and that if she could devour its nutrient-rich flesh and blood, she would undergo an unprecedented evolution.
The more she thought about it, the more longing Sammi Cheng's expression became.
His eyes gradually bulged outwards, and ridges of flesh began to rise quietly on both sides of his cheeks.
Lina clearly noticed Sammi Cheng's unusual behavior, but she didn't stop her. She just smiled through the crowd, as if anticipating what was about to happen.
Swallowing hard, Sammi Cheng finally took a step towards Yu Jing, her breathing becoming increasingly rapid.
Just as she raised her hand to Yu Jing, the latter took the initiative to step forward and cupped her face like a lover.
Their eyes met. Sammi Cheng looked at the face so close to hers, and just as she opened her mouth to say something, Yu Jing interrupted her.
"Shh, I understand what you mean, but aren't you being a bit too impatient? Wouldn't it be better to jump a little longer?"
The moment the words fell.
Sammi Cheng felt her vision suddenly drop.
Then I saw a knee getting bigger and bigger in front of me!
