Chapter 225 Asleep

Having settled Bai Xia Ya and Yuan Jie’s affairs, Fang Yue breathed a small sigh of relief.

Now with the United Association as backup, he wouldn't have to worry too much about their safety and stability.

To be honest, the bombing incident at his home had really spooked Fang Yue, leaving him with a deep sense of insecurity.

But now, things were much better.

As a formal employee of the United Association, he naturally had his own accommodation.

At Fang Yue's request, the three of them chose a comfortable, large apartment on one of the middle floors and lived together.

"You three... living together?"

Qiu Dugud looked at the three of them with a strange expression, constantly marveling at how fast the times were changing.

After a flurry of activity, tidying up rooms and other chores, Fang Yue finally had time to lie comfortably on his bed.

By this time, it was already evening.

The game watch hadn't reacted all day, which meant that nothing had happened in the game.

Bai Xia Ya and Yuan Jie were still busy in the kitchen, preparing their first dinner after moving in.

Fang Yue took advantage of this break to log into the game.

...

In the game, he opened his eyes.

Perhaps because the pressure in his heart had been relieved, Fang Yue felt that even the moon in the sky was a bit brighter.

"Brother Ye! Brother Ye is awake!"

Someone from the escort team was always on guard, waiting for Fang Yue to wake up.

Sometimes, Fang Yue hadn't even opened his eyes, but the people next to him were already shouting.

Rolling his eyes, Fang Yue got up and looked around.

The people in the team were a bit tired due to the continuous running and traveling.

This situation made Fang Yue a little worried. If they encountered something strange and they weren't alert enough to run, they might die at the hands of the paranormal. That would be bad.

"Brother Ye."

The blood hunter quickly arrived and, as usual, explained the team's situation to Fang Yue.

Luckily, after the strange oil incident last night, the team hadn't encountered any abnormalities all day, so they had covered a long distance.

It was just that after all the traveling, the people in the team were exhausted.

"Why don't we camp tonight? I'll take the night watch," Fang Yue said after a moment of thought.

"We can still travel a bit further. Let's rest tomorrow night,"

Fang Yue couldn't stand it anymore, but the blood hunter didn't think it was enough and wanted to keep going.

What was this? This was a new-age capitalist!

Fang Yue was shocked by the blood hunter. If this guy opened a factory, he would definitely make the workers toil like horses and squeeze milk out of them on an empty stomach.

"There's no need, there's no need. Only when the team is rested enough can they travel faster."

"...If Brother Ye insists, then we'll rest for half the night."

Half the night meant resting for the first half of the night and continuing to travel for the second half.

Although it was a bit different from what Fang Yue had imagined, it was already very good.

When the news was announced, almost everyone cheered.

There was no helping it. The blood hunter not only squeezed their rest time but also made them travel at high intensity. No one could stand it.

Not to mention the ordinary villagers, even the martial arts practitioners in the guard team were a little overwhelmed and kept dozing off.

"Captain Ye is still the best. He let us rest as soon as he came back."

"Captain Ye is number one!"

Many people gathered together to chat, and their words were full of dissatisfaction with the blood hunter.

This made Fang Yue feel quite awkward. It was like he was the good guy and the blood hunter was the scapegoat. This was not Fang Yue's intention at all.

However, the blood hunter didn't care. He casually found a place, hugged the giant bloodhound puppy, and went to sleep. In a little while, he was snoring loudly, fast asleep.

Obviously, not only the people in the team, but the blood hunter was also exhausted. Moreover, during Fang Yue's absence, the entire team's decision-making, responsibility, and pressure were all on the blood hunter. He was not only physically tired but also mentally exhausted.

It wasn't until Fang Yue returned that this burden was temporarily lifted. In such a state of exhaustion, the blood hunter didn't have time to care about what others were saying. Being able to rest was good enough.

"By the way, where's Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu?"

Fang Yue glanced around and quickly noticed that the familiar figure hadn't hopped over to his side. He couldn't help but ask curiously.

Logically speaking, this girl should be the happiest and most cheerful at this time.

"Wu Wu went to bed early, just like Captain Ye. She's lying in the carriage in the back."

Huh??

Fang Yue raised his eyebrows, went to the back carriage, and sure enough, he saw a woman lying there in a large, ungraceful posture, drooling.

Who else could it be but Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu.

This girl was too tired and just logged out of the game to go AFK. Truly something.

Fang Yue patted Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu's cheek. After a while, the light in her eyes gradually returned, becoming lively and vivid.

"Brother Ye? You're online! When did you come online?"

"Earlier than you, that's for sure."

Fang Yue crossed his arms and asked, "Did you eat properly today? How are your stats increasing?"

"Of course! Look, look, I've eaten a whole bucket of *shiyou chong* (oil-eating insects)! My single stat is almost breaking 30 points now!"

Almost breaking 30 points, huh? Impressive!

Fang Yue nodded slightly. Without realizing it, Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu's stats had become quite high.

It was a pity that there weren't any weak abnormalities for her to practice on. Otherwise, with some training, she could be a little helper.

With these stats, she could easily be the vice-captain of Guyue Village.

You had to know that Fang Yue had started with about the same stats when he became the vice-captain back then.

After praising Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu a few words, the latter happily narrowed her eyes and giggled foolishly, like a little cat.

"Oh, right, Brother Ye, a strange thing happened at the school next to mine recently."

"What is it?"

"A headless corpse! A male student at the school next door was playing a game and became a headless corpse!"

A headless corpse!?

Fang Yue was taken aback, and then his expression became serious.

Could it be...that something paranormal had come to their school?

In reality, due to the expansion of loopholes and the increase in the paranormal intensity line, abnormalities often appeared, causing harm.

The United Association could block the news, but a dead person was still dead. The facts wouldn't change, and all they could do was to clean up the abnormality afterward.

"What happened later? Was there only one headless corpse?"

"Yeah, just one."

Fang Yue breathed a small sigh of relief. In that case, someone from the United Association's branch must have dealt with the abnormality, or it might not have been a paranormal event at all.

In any case, if there were no follow-up incidents, Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu and the others were probably safe.

"Maybe it was a conflict between roommates. They chopped off his head after he died playing the game."

"Eek! Brother Ye, don't say such scary things... It's terrifying! It's better to listen to it as a ghost story!"
