Dice In The Darkness: Cthulhu Calls

Chapter 199: Physical Check-up (Seeking Subscriptions)

"What's wrong?" Liu Xing asked with some curiosity.

Yin En sighed helplessly and said in a depressed tone, "All my phones, including this one, have been hacked by Sawada Yinyin. So, when I was texting just now, Sawada Yinyin already saw my messages and sent me Otonashi Takuya's information... Meaning, everything I do on my phone is under Sawada Yinyin's surveillance."

Liu Xing chuckled and said, "If Miss Sawada Yinyin is just monitoring your phone activities now, that's still okay. But if she activates the phone's recording function, then you'll be in trouble."

Upon hearing this, Yin En frowned and became visibly anxious. If, as Liu Xing said, Sawada Yinyin controlled the phone's recording and even video functions, then with the phone on him, every move and thought of Yin En would be under her control.

At that moment, Liu Xing raised an eyebrow and gave a mischievous smile, saying, "Yin En, be careful not to end up in a bad situation. I think a lady wielding a cleaver could easily finish you off."

Yin En shivered, understanding the implications of Liu Xing's words.

Meanwhile, Liu Xing was inwardly delighted, seeing Yin En in discomfort. After all, Yin En was the "Chosen One" in this module, having significant advantages over other players. Liu Xing, therefore, felt a bit envious of Yin En, and was happy to see him in a predicament.

"Let's not talk about this. Let's discuss something serious. According to Sawada Yinyin's information, Otonashi Takuya is an orphan, claiming to be twenty years old and originally from Hokkaido. However, Sawada Yinyin's investigation revealed that orphanages in Hokkaido have no record of him."

"Otonashi Takuya started working as a waiter in Ziwu City's large hotel after Killer Demon appeared. Before that, there was no information about him. Sawada Yinyin couldn't find anything. Currently, he lives in a residential area north of the Godless Shrine and doesn't have many friends."

"However, Otonashi Takuya despises evil and has often helped others in distress. This attracted the attention of a local small gang. The gang sought revenge, but ended up being counter-killed by Takuya. He was ruthless, causing severe injuries to the gang members, and even crippled their leader. But since it was self-defense, the police didn't trouble Takuya."

Hearing this, Liu Xing smiled and said, "It seems Otonashi Takuya's identity is as I guessed. He is either a descendant of Otonota or Otonota himself. His return to Ziwu City is probably for the Killer Demon."

Yin En nodded, turned off his phone, and said to Liu Xing, "Regardless, Otonashi Takuya seems to be on our side. I think his combat abilities should be further enhanced, probably on par with the unarmed Killer Demon."

Just as Yin En was about to put his phone back in his pocket, it turned on automatically...

"Damn, is Sawada Yinyin planning to monitor me 24/7?" Yin En said with a look of despair.

Liu Xing felt that all he needed to do was smile.

"By the way, Yin En, what did you buy in the commercial district? You have so many bags," Liu Xing asked curiously, looking at the rearview mirror filled with various bags.

Yin En gave up on turning off his phone and casually said, "Oh, those are just some protective gear: masks, gloves, anti-slip rain boots, and night vision goggles."

Liu Xing nodded, understanding that Yin En prepared these for exploring the sewers. However, he was surprised that Yin En managed to buy night vision goggles.

"The goggles are a civilian version, available in mountain gear shops. They're basic, with average night vision, but they should suffice for us," Yin En explained, noticing Liu Xing's puzzled look.

After a while, Liu Xing finally drove back to Chen Wenbin's house, where everyone had already returned.

Seeing Chen Wenbin's troubled face, Liu Xing guessed he and Yoh Asakura must have had a tough time at Kanna Ryoko's.

Liu Xing also noticed that Mian Gu Lu had a nosebleed and was stuffing his nose with tissue.

As a doctor, Liu Xing naturally stepped forward and asked, "Mian Gu Lu, what happened to you?"

Still in a daze, Mian Gu Lu replied with a silly smile, "I accidentally bumped into a wall, so my nose started bleeding."

Liu Xing was relieved. He initially thought Mian Gu Lu's nosebleed was due to health issues. If Mian Gu Lu's condition continued to worsen, he would need to be hospitalized, which could lead to discovery by the Dark Willow Gang.

But then, Liu Xing thought that a modern examination of Mian Gu Lu might reveal how the Eldritch God Taketori parasitized her, which could help devise a better plan to eradicate it.

With this in mind, Liu Xing suggested to the group, "Should we go to the hospital for a full-body check-up for Mian Gu Lu to determine her health status?"

Chen Wenbin, always cautious, immediately opposed, "I don't think it's a good idea. The Dark Willow Gang is probably looking for Mian Gu Lu now. If we take him to the hospital, they'll surely find her, and we won't be able to protect him."

"I think we should," Yasaka Mashiro intervened. "Chen Wenbin, didn't you work at 404 Hospital? We could use your connections to get Mian Gu Lu a discreet check-up. If we're careful, the Dark Willow Gang won't notice, and I think it's necessary to check Mian Gu Lu's condition."

Gu Jun also supported Liu Xing's idea, "I agree with Liu Xing. We need to understand how Eldritch God Taketori is attached to Mian Gu Lu. Surgery might not be an option since the Eldritch God isn't easy to deal with, but at least we'll know our enemy better."
