“What are you doing?”
“!!!”
The little octopus doing bad things was caught red-handed. Its two tentacles suddenly stiffened, poking straight at the corner of the youth’s mouth like two chopsticks.
Therefore, at this moment, the expression on Yuan Ye’s face while speaking appeared very strange.
Swoosh—
The little octopus, realizing its mistake a little too late, quickly retracted its two tentacles.
Yuan Ye has shallow sleep and often struggles to fall asleep. Most of the time, to maintain his physical health and emotional stability, he often forces himself to close his eyes and doze off.
So unless he is in a state of high fever and unconsciousness due to excessive blood loss, like before, Yuan Ye is usually very alert to any changes in the external environment.
Even though he keeps his eyes closed, he can still sense that the “little jellyfish” on the plate next to his pillow stays up until midnight and is actually tying itself into a knot for fun.
As each small tentacle rubs and tightens, a sticky and viscous squeezing sound is produced due to the transparent mucus secreted on the surface.
This sound is very familiar to Yuan Ye.
Because in the past, when those tentacles hooked onto his earlobe, touched his collarbone, or approached his throat, they would produce similar sounds. And in this quiet early morning, in the dim and cramped room—
The sound coming from the bedside seems to be infinitely amplified, as if it has a tangible presence, drilling into Yuan Ye’s ears and slowly seeping into his mind.
As a result, his brain, which was intentionally cleared for sleep, starts to lose control, or rather, it is influenced by those sounds. His skin, covered with clothes, actually gives rise to the illusion of being caressed by those tentacles.
Yuan Ye is well aware that it is an illusion because he keenly and clearly knows that the “little jellyfish” is obediently staying on the plate, boredly playing with its tentacles.
Yuan Ye believed that this was caused by his illness and considered it to be his own issue. Therefore, he ultimately endured it and tried his best to use reason to dispel these strange illusions.
Until that illusion vividly fell on his cheeks and materialized.
At that moment, Yuan Ye couldn’t distinguish between illusion and reality.
The small suction cups tightly pasted to the side of his face, gently sucking, and when they finally left, there was a very faint sound of “chu”.
—Just like a child’s kiss.
At that time, no one could have known that a seismic shift was happening within Yuan Ye’s heart.
Then, the damp, soft, and slightly cool touch landed on the corners of his lips, gently pushing them, as if trying hard to make the lips imitate a slight smile curve.
And it is at this moment that Yuan Ye finally awakens from the huge shock in his heart, completely cutting the connection between illusion and reality.
He opened his eyes and apprehended the culprit with his burning gaze.
The little octopus culprit: “……”
A miscalculation!
Who would have thought that this guy, who seemed to be sound asleep, would be so alert?
The little octopus immediately retracted all his tentacles, pressing them tightly against his body. Then he blinked his round, blue eyes, making a shy and obedient appearance.
Ye Yunfan, in fact, feels a bit embarrassed.
After all, he is a grown adult in his late twenties, and it’s quite embarrassing to stay up late and poke someone’s face for fun.

As a result, the little octopus suddenly starts to feel a bit uneasy.
But in reality, Yuan Ye doesn’t know what to say at this time because the people he met either fear him or hate him.
And those people usually react by either keeping their distance from him or launching various verbal attacks against him.
That situation is normal and familiar to Yuan Ye. Moreover, it is easily manageable, as he is accustomed to using violent suppression.
But Yuan Ye has never encountered someone like this “little jellyfish” before.
He used a knife to threaten it and forcefully grabbed it, but the little jellyfish foolishly helped him treat his wounds.
He accidentally injured it, but its first reaction was not to run away, but to tremble and hide in his body, refusing to leave, as if that was the safest place.
And earlier, while Yuan Ye was sleeping, the “little jellyfish” secretly extended its tentacles to kiss him.
For a moment, Yuan Ye, who is accustomed to using violent suppression, felt very conflicted. It was the first time he realized how much the “little jellyfish” liked him.
Or perhaps, it could be that this “little jellyfish” has some cognitive issues, such as being a bit stupid or not being able to distinguish dangerous objects clearly.
The stupid little octopus was a little confused at the moment, because he looked at the young man with conflicted eyes and couldn’t tell whether the other party was angry or not.
?
The little octopus’ round head was covered with invisible question marks.
However, after such a long time, Yuan Ye has not shown any signs of anger or any intentions to hold the little octopus accountable. So, does that mean he is not angry?
Yuan Ye speculated, so he planned to just muddle through like this.
En! Just muddle through!
In the blink of an eye, the little octopus immediately turned around, lay flat, and closed its eyes, indicating that it would obediently go to sleep this time.
The room fell into a peaceful silence.
After a while, the little octopus secretly opened one eye to sneak a peek at Yuan Ye, but as soon as it opened, it met the indifferent gaze of the youth.
In the cold moonlight, the youth leaned on one side of his face. At this moment, he was looking at him with lowered eyes. His heterochromatic blue and green eyes were exquisitely beautiful, even with a hint of pretty and flirtatious charm.
He looked cold and distant, as if he was about to kill a person… eh no, kill a fish.
The little octopus immediately closed its eyes, as if it fainted in an instant.
So he missed that one second after he closed his eyes. The young man subtly curved the corners of his lips.
Yuan Ye gazed quietly at the little octagonal pink flat cake on the plate and suddenly thought that raising a “little jellyfish” seemed like a good idea.
Even though this little guy might not be able to cure his illness.
–
At this moment, a faint hue of white appeared on the horizon.
Chen Xinyue, however, had not taken any rest.
She found a huge tarpaulin and spread it out. Without any shyness, she stripped the corpse of all its clothes and began the autopsy.
Due to Zhang Nan being injected with oxygen fluid before his death and being immersed in water for a long time, his entire dead body now appears bloated, with even his skin swollen.
Jon is still inexperienced. He feels both disgusted and somewhat ashamed. However, as he continues to observe for a while, he gradually becomes accustomed to it.
At this moment, the curly-haired puppy wears a tired expression on his face. He has two dark circles under his eyes, indicating how many yawns he has endured.
“Jon, take a quick rest for a while. Otherwise, once daybreak comes, you won’t even be able to get any sleep.”
Chen Xinyue’s bloodshot eyes are very vivid, but there is no trace of sleepiness on her face.
“No! I… I want to accompany you, captain!”
Jon immediately pinched his own thigh, grimacing in pain behind the woman. But when Chen Xinyue turned around, he quickly pretended to be nonchalant and gave a silly grin.
However, Chen Xinyue’s expression suddenly turned serious, and she sternly reprimanded.
“The real battle is yet to come. Take this time to rest. You are just a new recruit with limited abilities. One wrong move could cost you your life!”
“…Yes.”
Jon lowered his head in shame and turned towards the car, walking away like a wilted eggplant. Chen Xinyue kept her gaze on him until he reached the car to rest. Then pulled herself together and resumed the inspection.
This man’s body is their final clue.
However, the other party is extremely cautious. He deliberately dressed as Wang Yuan, wearing the uniform of a military investigator and using a gun model specifically used by investigators. The communication device of the other party was also blown up.
Moreover—
Chen Xinyue looked at the badly mangled and horrifying face.
This guy’s face is also ruined. A bullet went through his eye, rendering more than half of his face unrecognizable. Not to mention that the other party possessed the ability as a gift person to change their appearance and body shape. Even if their true identity was known, it wouldn’t hold much significance.
Perhaps the mastermind behind all this specifically sent a gifted person with such special abilities because they were aware of this.
Chen Xinyue let out a sigh. She had been busy for most of the night, but the clues she obtained were few and far between.
Just then, the nearby parked SUV abruptly shook violently, interrupting Chen Xinyue’s train of thought. Coupled with the fact that she hadn’t slept for two days and nights, her attempt to forcibly control her emotions suddenly crumbled.
“Jon!!!”
Captain Chen’s voice was filled with anger.
Snap—
The curly-haired puppy forcefully pushed open the car door and rushed out from the front, nearly tumbling and crawling in the process.
He grabbed Chen Xinyue’s shoulder tightly, trembling with excitement.
“Captain! Captain, I remember!!!”
“What?”
The woman’s heart skipped a beat.
“That triangular eyed man with a pig head! That… That one who hit me yesterday!”
As Jon spoke, afraid that Chen Xinyue wouldn’t remember, he slapped himself directly.
Smack—!
“It’s him! That one who hit me yesterday at noon!”
The curly-haired young man spoke very quickly, his words becoming a bit incoherent due to his excitement.
“He didn’t, he… he didn’t come!”
That day, Bard and his men ambushed the clinic. As soon as Jon arrived, they covered his mouth and captured him. Fortunately, Yuan Ye arrived later and killed all the internal military investigators, including Bard.
Just as Jon was about to drift off to sleep, he suddenly felt a slight swelling and pain on his face. It was this pain that vividly reminded him of the person who had injured him.
That triangular eyed man with a pig head.
“Captain, what I mean is that he didn’t come with Bard, so he must be, he must be alive!!!”
Boom!
This statement hit Chen Xinyue’s head like a heavy blow.
She quickly stood up and wrapped the body on the ground with the tarp, then threw it directly at Jon.
“Put it in the trunk.”
After saying that, the woman took large strides towards the driver’s seat.
Chen Xinyue didn’t blame Jon for only disclosing this crucial information now, as she understood that blaming him wouldn’t serve any purpose. The priority at the moment was to locate the triangular eyed man.
Bard was able to ally with a gifted person, indicating that there must be some sort of connection between them. And the only person who could be aware of this connection and still be alive was the man with the triangular eyes!
Jon staggered as the corpse knocked against his body, but this time, he showed improvement. He didn’t immediately feel nauseous, but instead struggled to load the body into the trunk before hastily returning to the passenger seat.
“Captain, should we go and catch the person now?”
Jon was a bit excited and a bit nervous at the same time.
Buzz buzz.
Chen Xinyue stepped on the accelerator and drove straight towards the mountains. Jon, forgetting to fasten his seatbelt, was jolted several times, hitting his forehead.
At this moment, Chen Xinyue faintly glanced at him and asked.
“Just the two of us, breaking into a station with over a hundred military investigators to catch someone?”
“Uh…”
Jon choked and, at the same time, became clear-headed.
“Should we look for Officer Yuan Ye?”
“No, we shouldn’t bother him with everything.”
Chen Xinyue pondered for a moment.
“Let’s calculate the time. The decontamination officer is a day late, but he should be able to come today. You go to the route that leads to the supply station and wait for him. If he arrives, intercept him and prevent him from entering. Then wait for me to come.”
Jon urgently asked, “What about you, Captain?”
Chen Xinyue pondered for a moment and said, “I’ll go find Bard’s team’s signal car.”
Because communication signals now rely solely on signal towers, there are instances when the signal can be completely cut off if the tower malfunctions. Therefore, in situations like this, investigation teams will specifically be equipped with a signal car.
“Bard is dead, so it is highly likely that the triangular eyed man will need to communicate with someone. However, they would avoid sending signals from the station, as it would be easily intercepted. Instead, they might opt to use the signal car to travel to a concealed location for communication.”
On one hand, Chen Xinyue was driving, while on the other hand, she patiently explained to Jon. Since neither of them knew the actual name of the man with triangular eyes, they simply gave him the name, the triangular eyed man.
“If he didn’t show up yesterday, there could be two possible reasons. The first possibility is that Bard needed someone to guard the signal car to maintain contact with the other side. The second possibility is that the triangular eyed man sensed the impending danger so he might have actually showed up, but secretly escaped.”
“And he sensed the danger from Mr. Yuan Ye. If the latter really wanted to kill him, it would not be impossible for him to just break into the station and kill the triangular eyed man.”
“So, regardless of the reason, at this very moment, that guy is definitely unable to stay in the station.”
