Chapter 120 Mudskipper and Frog Fall in Love
After seeing Aunt Xu and Hao Hao off, I was so tired that I covered myself with my army coat and took a nap on the cot. My head just slid against the wall a few times, for less than a minute or two. This time, I finally woke up naturally.

I reckon if the Queen really did hypnotize me through some kind of ritual, she probably wouldn't have even burned a single sheet of yellow paper.

Such an ordinary little thing actually gave me a sense of excitement like I had successfully ambushed someone, which then plunged me into endless frustration. If this continues, I will cease to be human.

Old Wang stared intently at me.

I asked him, "What's wrong?"

"Fengzi, you're not in good shape lately. Why are you so sleep-deprived? According to the saying in Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, you've been bewitched by a fox spirit."

"Don't say it, don't say it!"

"Okay, I won't say anything," Old Wang said. "Next time you see a vixen, you can ask her to harass me. I have plenty of yang energy." He thought I was just messing with him.

I threw my military overcoat onto the bed and turned to leave.

"Where are you going?"

"Go home and sleep!" I muttered angrily as I walked. "Don't let me catch you, or I'll roast your two whiskers and eat them!"

Hu Chunyan had just successfully sold another piece of fruit. Seeing me fuming, she asked in bewilderment, "Who are you talking to?"

Old Wang said, "A fox spirit."

I walked home still furious, having made a decision in my mind: from now on, I'll just sleep when I need to. If it gets really bad, I'll just spray some perfume and give her a shock. I'll fight her to the bitter end. It's just a dream, I'll treat it as extra entertainment.

When I got home, I hung up my coat and said, "Yuanyuan, I'm going to sleep now. Keep an eye on me for a bit."

Yuan Yuan wasn't responding, I didn't know what she was doing, and when I glanced at the charging area, she wasn't there either.

"Yuan Yuan?" Usually, whenever I give her any instructions, she will immediately say "Yes, Master" before I even finish speaking.

I searched everywhere in the house. At first, I suspected that she had lost her card because the power was out. Later, I even turned the closet upside down, but Yuanyuan was nowhere to be found!

My mind went completely blank! I even wondered if I was having another nightmare, until I saw the watch on my wrist, perfectly fine.

First, without explicit orders from me and Liu Zhenhua, Yuanyuan would never step out of this house. Second, the door lock was intact when I entered, so it couldn't have been stolen by some clumsy thief—and most clumsy thieves couldn't beat Yuanyuan…

Although strictly speaking, Yuanyuan can only be considered a "home appliance" or a "valuable item," I had already considered her a member of this family. I was at a loss for a moment, and immediately thought of contacting Liu Zhenhua. Just then, I noticed that the window on the balcony was open, and cold wind was whistling into the room.

I live on the fifth floor, and a thief came in through the balcony? Chu Liuxiang, you have some nerve!

I leaped onto the balcony and instinctively looked up at the rooftop.

"Whoosh—" A figure fell from above, almost brushing past me, and crashed to the ground with a loud "crash."

My heart sank. I peered out the window and thankfully, it was only Yuan Yuan's body that had fallen to the ground. Someone had taken Yuan Yuan hostage and brought her to the roof!
"Damn it!" I turned and ran out the door, grabbing the kitchen knife from the cutting board as I went.

When I ran into the stairwell, four figures were also rushing upstairs from the floors below. All four of them had short, crew cuts and were tall, with one of them being slightly short and chubby.

What is coming has finally come!
"Liu Chuanfeng, don't go up there!" It was the four people shouting.

I wanted to throw the cleaver at them, but I couldn't bear to part with my only weapon. If they wouldn't let me, I would definitely go for it.

Ta-da! The top floor of our building is the 7th floor. The entrance to the rooftop is an old-fashioned ladder. In the blink of an eye, I reached the top of the ladder. People below were still shouting, "Liu Chuanfeng, stop!" The sound of footsteps on the stairs rose and fell.

Hmph, it's best if you all come up here, I'll wipe you all out in one fell swoop! I squeezed the phone in my pocket and silently recited the command "Yuan Yuan, save me." I'm not some harmless Tang Sanzang, this neurotoxin bomb contains technology from the next 70 years, can you stop it?
I tucked the kitchen knife into my waistband and climbed up to the rooftop using both my hands and feet.

On the rooftop, I immediately saw Yuan Yuan's head being held in the hand of a strange person.

This man was not short, but he was hunched over, and his eyes were dull and lifeless like fish eyes. He wore a rustic sweater on his upper body, and his waist and legs were covered by an apron that only butchers would wear. The most peculiar thing was that his cheeks were bulging, as if he was holding a mango horizontally in his mouth.

"Master, run!" Yuan Yuan shouted.

Once I calmed down a bit, I shouted at the man, "Put it down right now!"

The strange man glanced at me with his dead fish eyes and said haltingly, "You, come with me." He couldn't even speak fluent Chinese.

humming-

The four men went up to the roof and were surprised to see the strange man. The shorter, fatter one put his hand on his lower back warily.

Hey, trying to copy me? I have a whistle on my lower back, what can you pull out?
I sneered, "Fine, fine, so it's all here, is it?"

Just as Yuan Yuan was about to cry out "Yuan Yuan, help me!", she shouted, "Master, no! You're not human!"

The short, fat guy next to the four of them, with his crew cut, asked inexplicably, "Who's talking? What do you mean, not human?"

Just then, the strange man suddenly attacked. Without any preparatory movements, he suddenly leaped into the air and slammed his head into me. The speed was so fast that it caught me completely off guard.

The short-haired guy closest to me suddenly shoved me, causing me to stumble and dodge the attack. Although the strange man's head hit nothing, his apron-covered legs swept across, slamming the short-haired guy who had helped me escape backward with a loud thud, nearly sending him tumbling down the stairs. The moment the strange man landed, he lunged at me again, accompanied by a gust of wind! Before I could react, someone pulled me back a few steps, and I saw a scar on the back of his hand.

bang bang bang-

When the strange man saw that someone was stopping his plan, his anger surged. He bounced around on the rooftop, his figure appearing and disappearing like a ghost. He would ram his head or sweep his legs, and for a moment he was like a hammer hitting a nail, making the four people scramble to catch him.

The strange man is not with these four people.

I dare not say this is good news. What if they are all here to deal with me but on different sides? These four people are by no means ordinary. They held their arms in front of them, clenched their fists, and waited for the right moment to counterattack. Their movements were quick and fierce. If they were ordinary opponents, they would have taken them down long ago.

The worst news is that, through observation over this period of time, I've also discovered that the strange man who kidnapped Yuan Yuan isn't human. He darts around like a mudskipper, and his head and legs are his weapons. His body automatically slides away after being punched, and the five of us are practically his prey.

"Yuan Yuan!" I shouted, "What is this thing?"

"I don't know my master either, but you must be careful of him—"

Before Yuan Yuan could finish speaking, the short, fat man finally revealed his hand that had been reaching for his lower back, and in his hand was a pistol!
boom!
The gun rang out, and a few white flashes appeared at the location of the monster's heart. Then, he suddenly opened his mouth, and a long tongue shot out from his mouth, aiming at the gun in the fat man's hand. Just like a frog catching an insect, the gun was stuck to the tongue and swallowed into the monster's mouth!

Then Yuan Yuan finished saying the last two words: "tongue".

The chubby boy was startled when his pistol was taken away, but what surprised him even more was discovering Yuan Yuan: "A robot vacuum cleaner that can communicate with people?!"

The short-haired man with a scar on the back of his hand said speechlessly, "Let's deal with the immediate situation first, genius!"
