Chapter 172 Madam Yan Rui (5k)

Among all the monsters and demons on the street, this woman in black is the only human being like Shen Cheng.

Shen Cheng looked at the other person curiously.

The woman in black moved slowly among the crowd, her eyes empty and lifeless.

Although it was a sunny day without the sun, there was a long black shadow behind her, and all the pedestrians who stepped into the shadow disappeared without a trace.

And Shen Cheng happened to be standing right in front of this strange woman in black, and would be bumped into by her sooner or later.

Relying on his status as an observer who could not interfere, Shen Cheng did not hide. He was very curious why this woman was different from other monsters.

But soon, Shen Cheng found something wrong, because the woman in black seemed to be aware of his presence.

The woman in black stopped and slowly raised her head. In her lifeless eyes, she actually saw Shen Cheng's figure, very clearly.

At this moment, Shen Cheng felt his scalp tingling.

It’s like when someone is watching TV and suddenly realizes that the characters on TV are actually seeing themselves outside of the TV.

Didn’t the researchers solemnly guarantee that people in parallel worlds simply cannot observe themselves?

Zhuo, is it possible that the parallel world is also haunted?

While Shen Cheng was feeling surprised, the woman in black had already walked towards him.

A strong sense of crisis immediately enveloped Shen Cheng's heart, making him subconsciously turn around and run.

But when he turned around, his pupils suddenly shrank, because the woman in black appeared behind him as if by teleportation, less than a meter away, and she could touch him with just a raise of her hand.

Shen Cheng subconsciously wanted to hide backwards.

The woman in black slowly raised her hand, and her pale five fingers stretched towards Shen Cheng's chest.

Her speed was not slow, but too fast, so fast that the time around her seemed to have stopped and only she could move.

Shen Cheng's body was slowly dodging backwards, at a speed dozens of times slower than a snail.

The black-clad woman's pale hand had already reached out and gently pressed on his chest.

It felt cold to the touch, as if a piece of ice was stuffed into my clothes, and even my heart was frozen to the point of stopping.

"You are shrouded in shadow."

The woman in black uttered a faint sentence: "There is no way to escape."

The long shadow behind her suddenly began to spin and turned into a huge black hole that kept spinning. The terrifying gravity pulled everything around it in.

The streets are full of monsters, vehicles, tall buildings, the entire city, even the entire sky and the entire world.

Everything is torn into pieces by the pull of gravity, and then tumbles into the black hole.

Shen Cheng was unable to support his body and was pulled up by gravity, spinning towards the black hole.

As the world was spinning, he noticed that the only unaffected woman in black was still standing there, looking back at him.

Her lips moved slightly, uttering an inaudible word.

"We'll see you again."

Shen Cheng fell completely into the black hole, and his vision became completely dark.

After an unknown amount of time, Shen Cheng opened his eyes, the darkness faded away, and he found himself lying in a shuttle.

Ruan Qingsha and the researchers stood outside, looking at themselves through the glass.

Everything that just happened seemed like just a dream.

The glass cover opened, and Ruan Qingsha asked Shen Cheng who had sat up, "How was it? Are you disappointed?"

When she experienced it for the first time, she was also nervous and excited, but when she really got into it, she found that her expectations were dashed.

It was like I was watching a short film with no beginning or end. I couldn't interfere or participate. It was meaningless.

Shen Cheng opened his mouth and subconsciously wanted to tell about the woman in black he met.

But there was an intuition in his heart that prevented him from doing so.

And reason told him that it would be useless even if he said it out loud.

It is not difficult to see that this parallel world project is probably not taken seriously within the institute and probably has no results, which is why it is opened to outsiders, even strangers like him, to experience it without even any confidentiality measures.

Even if he said it, he probably wouldn't be able to get any substantial help from the research institute, and might even have to cooperate with them in the experiment.

So Shen Cheng shook his head: "It's meaningless. You guys are not going to make a short video to fool me, right?"

Ruan Qingsha laughed: "Great minds think alike. I have always felt the same way."

The researcher on the side was not angry because of Shen Cheng's questioning, but sighed instead.

"If it's really fake, that's fine."

He wouldn't have to keep sticking to this project that was making no progress and wasting his life.

Seeing the researcher lying flat on his back, Shen Cheng became more determined to conceal the truth.

If not even one researcher is serious about the project, what can we expect them to come up with?
……

After leaving the institute, the cell phone signal was restored and Ruan Qingsha immediately received a call from the General Security Bureau.

Afterwards, she could only say sorry to Shen Cheng helplessly.

The Public Security Bureau has found clues about the escaped blasphemer and hopes that Ruan Qingsha can lead the team to pursue him. However, other high-level demon hunters are currently under investigation because of Yue Hong, the traitor, and are really not available.

Of course Shen Cheng would not obstruct, but he still teased: "You said you were my exclusive maid, but you're absent from work on your first day?"

Ruan Qingsha was also a little embarrassed: "I will make it up to you next time."

"No, just buy me some milk."

"Drink your hammer."

Ruan Qingsha raised her middle finger to Shen Cheng, then took out a cup of milk tea from her pocket, stuffed it into his hand, and hurried away.

Shen Cheng drank the milk tea that seemed to have a little body temperature, and he really didn't understand where Ruan Qingsha hid this thing.

After separating from Ruan Qingsha, Shen Cheng turned and went to Tianxuanxing’s private warehouse and handed her the freshly received USB flash drive.

At the same time, he also asked Tianxuanxing for some information related to Madam Yan Rui, preparing to get to know this collaborator whom he would meet tomorrow.

……

The next morning, Shen Cheng started dreaming again.

However, this time the person he dreamed of was not Ruan Qingsha, but the strange woman in black that he saw in the parallel world.

She grabbed Shen Cheng's handle with her hand: "You have no way to escape."

After saying that, she rubbed a black hole on her hand.

Let Shen Cheng experience what a black hole feels like in his dream.

It's so exciting.

He suddenly woke up from his dream and saw a face close to him.

Ruan Qingsha, wearing a maid uniform, was standing beside the bed. She bent down, and her face was no more than ten centimeters away from Shen Cheng, so much so that even their breaths could hit each other's faces.

The two of them looked at each other with wide eyes, then Ruan Qingsha suddenly straightened up, her heart pounding.

She came in and wanted to call Shen Cheng to wake up, but looking at the sleeping Shen Cheng, she was inexplicably tempted to get closer to see his face.

But this guy suddenly woke up. Could he be pretending to be asleep to protect me?
Shen Cheng touched his face with his hand and asked in surprise: "What are you going to do to me?"

Ruan Qingsha said calmly: "Nothing, just asking you to get up."

"Which way of waking someone up requires face to face?"

The corners of Shen Cheng's mouth twitched, and then he suddenly realized: "I understand, this is your original idea, right? Why didn't you say so earlier?"

He spread his limbs and stuck out his tongue: "Come and wake me up, I promise to be up in no time."

Ruan Qingsha raised her foot and kicked him off the bed.

However, as a personal maid, she actually dared to directly attack her master. As the price for this kick, Ruan Qingsha could only help Shen Cheng wash up.

In the bathroom, Shen Cheng opened his mouth. Ruan Qingsha stood beside him, brushing his mouth with a toothbrush in one hand and a cup in the other hand with an awkward expression on her face.

She has never brushed anyone else's teeth in her life, which feels a bit weird.

The two little ones hid outside and whispered to each other.

"Sister Qingque, what are they doing?"

“A very new way to play.”

Xiao Qingque was amazed after seeing this and decided to write this way of playing into his novel. Of course, it was not the heroine brushing the teeth of the overbearing president, but the overbearing president brushing the teeth of the heroine, and he did not use a toothbrush, but an elephant trunk clam dipped in toothpaste.

The more she thought about it, the more excited she became, and she turned around and ran into the room.

After brushing his teeth, Ruan Qingsha washed Shen Cheng's face. She put foam on her hands and rubbed them on his face and neck.

It was very powerful, and obviously mixed with some personal emotion.

Shen Cheng looked directly into her eyes, and she looked back at him unconvinced.

"Aren't you going to catch the fugitive?"

"The other party hid very secretly and has not been caught yet. I have to go back to work later."

Ruan Qingsha, the exclusive maid, is really amazing. Even though she has to go to work, she gets up early in the morning to clean the house and make breakfast, and keeps everything in order.

But judging from the fact that Shen Cheng only went to Ruan Qingsha's office and her residence a few times, she did not like doing housework, but now she can force herself to do a good job as a maid.

After breakfast, Ruan Qingsha went to work, and Shen Cheng followed her out to meet Madam Yan Rui.

The meeting place agreed with Madam Yan Rui was in a private club. Shen Cheng did not drive his black sports car to avoid exposing his identity.

He simply took the subway and bus and went there alone. Following the instructions on his mobile phone navigation, he soon arrived at the club.

The door to the club was closed, with a sign saying "Closed" on it.

Following Madam Yan Rui's instructions on the phone, Shen Cheng went straight to the back door of the club and knocked lightly three times on the closed iron door.

Soon, a faint voice was heard from behind the door.

"Who?"

"Plumber."

This was a secret signal. The iron gate opened quickly and a young and beautiful woman with a fierce look appeared behind the door.

She was wearing a uniform and looked like a bartender in a bar. She looked at Shen Cheng with a vigilant look, then took a step back and let him in.

After Shen Cheng came in, she locked the door and said to Shen Cheng, "Sorry, I need to check if you are carrying any weapons."

Shen Cheng did not refuse and raised his hands.

The woman, wearing white gloves, groped him from head to toe.

After checking it out, Shen Cheng looked down at the woman holding his handle in surprise: "You don't think this counts as a weapon, do you?"

In a sense, it can be considered a special weapon against women.

However, the young woman ignored Shen Cheng's teasing and checked him carefully with a serious expression, even checking Shen Cheng's butt.

Then, she stood up and bowed slightly to Shen Cheng: "Thank you for your cooperation, please follow me."

Shen Cheng followed the woman into the club.

The club was large, but empty; it seemed as if it had closed today just to accommodate him.

Soon, the two came to a closed door and the young woman knocked on it.

"Ma'am, the guests have arrived."

"Let him in."

The young woman turned around and gestured to Shen Cheng to come in.

Shen Cheng pushed the door open and the cool air from the air conditioner blew towards him.

When I looked up, I saw Madam Yan Rui sitting on the sofa.

Her hair was tied up into an elegant bun, her stunning face was painted with light makeup and a touch of light red lips, like ripe fruit.

She was wearing a well-tailored dark-colored hip skirt that hugged her waist and hips, perfectly outlining her plump and graceful figure.

A pair of beautiful legs are elegantly crossed, wrapped in delicate black stockings. The legs are full and round, and the calf lines are tight and graceful.

Madam Yan Rui leaned back on the sofa, holding a slender ladies' cigarette in her left hand, exuding a kind of elegance and calmness, with smoke lingering around her fingertips.

She looked down at Shen Cheng who walked in with a condescending gaze.

Shen Cheng used cognitive modification to change his appearance. Although the government's wanted warrant for him was cancelled, the Red Dinner's wanted warrant for him still remained.

So Madam Yan Rui could only see a strange young man.

Shen Cheng first glanced around the environment here, and then looked at Madam Yan Rui.

Madam Yan Rui was satisfied with Shen Cheng's calm eyes. Growing up, most of the men she had met in her life were unconsciously attracted to her from the first sight, and some incompetent ones even showed their ugly behavior.

So Shen Cheng was able to remain calm and gave her a good first impression.

However, she didn't know that Shen Cheng had already seen Madam Yan Rui many times in Yu Bi's memory. Besides, he was not really young, so of course he would not look like a pervert who was obsessed with sex.

Moreover, Madam Yan Rui did not give him a very good first impression.

Unlike the slightly polite conversation on the phone, the real Madam Yan Rui was very arrogant. She did not regard Shen Cheng as an equal collaborator, especially when she asked someone to check his body at the door just now, which was a naked contempt.

It can be seen from Yu Bi's memory that this kind of woman is like a poisonous snake. Either you can suppress her and make her completely surrender, or you show enough value to make her pay enough attention to you.

Otherwise, if she had the chance, she would sell it without hesitation.

Madam Yan Rui held a lady's cigarette in one hand and said in a light tone: "You said that you inherited Yu Bi's last wish, and there is irrefutable evidence. Where is the evidence?"

She didn't even invite Shen Cheng to sit down, as if she was asking a subordinate.

“Is this enough evidence?”

Shen Cheng stretched out his hand, and his arm turned into a sword, followed by a knife, an axe, a hammer and other weapons.

This is Yu Bi’s ability.

Madam Yan Rui showed a hint of surprise in her eyes: "How did you do it?"

Generally speaking, abilities may appear the same, but they should not be inherited.

Shen Cheng rejected Madam Yan Rui's request: "This is my secret, it's not convenient to tell you."

Madam Yan Rui was immediately displeased: "Just relying on the same abilities as Yu Bi won't convince me."

"So what about the fact that Yu Bi once proposed to you?"

Shen Cheng said jokingly, "You rejected him, but you didn't reject him completely, which made Yu Bi have illusions. He knew you would not believe me, so he told me this specifically. Is this enough?"

Although Yu Bi is not interested in women, it does not mean that he does not like women, especially widows like Yan Rui.

The hero likes widows, the same hobby as Boss Cao.

When Yu Bi had just become the minister, in order to seize power as quickly as possible, he privately proposed to Madam Yan Rui, hoping that the two of them could form an alliance.

But Madam Yan Rui rejected him, and Yu Bi considered this matter a loss of face and never told anyone about it.

So when Shen Cheng told this matter, Madam Yan Rui's doubts disappeared. Unless Yu Bi said it himself, who else could know about this?

However, Shen Cheng's joking tone made Madam Yan Rui quite unhappy.

She took a puff of her cigarette and exhaled a light smoke: "Even if you inherit Yu Bi's power, how can you be sure to deal with Yin Hong?"

Shen Cheng sat down on the sofa and crossed his legs. "This is why I came to see you. With your identity, you can definitely get in touch with Yin Hong. You can help me find his weaknesses. If we work together, we may have a chance."

Shen Cheng's frivolous attitude made Madam Yan Rui frown slightly. Especially his equal, even condescending attitude, made Madam Yan Rui dissatisfied.

Is a nobody who got Yu Bi's power by sheer luck worthy of cooperating with me on an equal footing?
The little good impression I had of Shen Cheng when we first met had completely disappeared.

"Just you?" Madam Yan Rui sneered, "Yin Hong is a viscount. Even if you have weaknesses, how can you deal with him?"

After Yin Hong became a master-level vampire, he automatically obtained the title of Viscount. Now among all the vampires in the entire Hanyun Province, Yin Hong's strength is undoubtedly the best.

Shen Cheng ignored Madam Yan Rui's ridicule: "Yu Bi is also a master-level vampire, why is he in jail?"

Madam Yan Rui was speechless for a moment, because she could not refute Shen Cheng's words.

Even the most powerful people have weaknesses. The key is to take advantage of the situation and leverage their strengths. Even if you are not strong enough, you can still defeat an enemy that is much stronger than you.

Why was Yin Hong able to successfully send Yu Bi to prison? It was because he took advantage of the situation and eventually borrowed Zhao Nanxing's power to defeat Yu Bi.

But not everyone is qualified to take advantage of others' situation and strength. In Madam Yan Rui's opinion, Shen Cheng just wanted to borrow her strength, but why should she help a nobody?

Even if she wanted to kill Yin Hong, not everyone would cooperate with her.

However, maybe we can push him out to test Yin Hong's current strength.

But the risk of being exposed is too great, unless this kid can be made to obey his orders.

Madam Yan Rui was in deep thought. At first glance, one would think that she was considering cooperation between the two of them. No one would have thought that she was considering how to sell out Shen Cheng and gain benefits for herself.

Shen Cheng looked at her thinking, and suddenly said: "If you don't have confidence in my strength, I can show you now."
