Today's test was another major failure.

The man lifted the curtain, gestured for You Yonghuai to enter the deep, narrow passage.

"...Alright." You Yonghuai narrowed his eyes slightly, understanding that if he walked into that passage, he would be completely in the man's territory.

Seeing that You Yonghuai had agreed, the man stepped into the passage first, while at the same time, Si Xuanyin floated out from the wall beside her, her expression serious.

Not knowing the man's specific situation, Si Xuanyin dared not show herself directly, as that would easily arouse his suspicion.

Therefore, she floated into the store in advance in order to gather information.

"Three rooms, a basement, lots of body parts, and three assistants who couldn't see me."

After confirming that the man did not turn around, Si Xuanyin floated to You Yonghuai's ear and whispered something.

"There seems to be a trap inside, be careful."

You Yonghuai nodded, contacted Ling Xiuqi in advance, and agreed to contact him every half hour before leisurely following along.

Although it wasn't a good thing, for You Yonghuai, the presence of a large number of body parts was indeed good news.

In this way, he can use his few attack skills—flesh magic.

The deeper You Yonghuai went into the passage, the more he could smell a unique fragrance, which was undeniably captivating.

"What did you use to create this fragrance?" You Yonghuai asked, his nostrils flaring.

"This is my secret recipe. It not only masks the natural odor of leather, but also has a refreshing effect," the man chuckled. "If you're interested, officer, why don't you buy some later?"

"Let's see how the quality is," You Yonghuai naturally had no such intention. "The customer said the quality of your product is not good."

"Perhaps they're too focused on the quality of the leather."

"Really? What kind of leather did you use? It feels very unique."

"How can you compete with others if you don't have some skills?" The man smiled and pressed his hand against the wall, saying, "I only use the best parts, which consumes a lot of raw materials and has high costs. I forgot to care about the parts other than the leather."

You'd better forget... You Yonghuai thought to himself, his eyes, now adjusted to the darkness, noticed the man's movements.

I don't know when it started, but he began to constantly rub the wall next to him, as if he were playing with a work of art.

Feeling a slight unease, You Yonghuai raised his hand and touched the wall beside him, feeling a familiar sensation.

It had a texture almost identical to the notebook the woman had given it.

"Really?" You Yonghuai's lips twitched, and he uttered a few syllables in a low voice, sensing the flesh and blood around him.

Although it was only a thin layer, there was no doubt that the surface of the surrounding walls was covered with genuine human skin.

After exchanging glances with Si Xuanyin, the girl immediately set off, deliberately passing in front of the man before heading deeper into the passage.

The man remained unchanged and appeared unable to see Si Xuanyin.

"Where do you get your raw materials from?" You Yonghuai asked. "Since you consume so many, they must be very expensive, right?"

"Fortunately, I have a dedicated channel, so it's not too expensive to buy in bulk."

"So what animal's skin is it?"

"Uh... it's just regular cowhide, only of slightly better quality," the man subconsciously quickened his pace, swiftly crossing the already short passage.

"Officer, please have a seat. Let me pour you some tea." The man was about to pull out a chair when You Yonghuai stopped him.

"No need, just hurry up and show me your business license. I need to go to the next place after I've checked yours."

"Okay, okay." The man chuckled and went into the room next door, saying, "Raw material supplies are tight lately, so there's not much in the warehouse. We should be able to find something soon."

As he spoke, the man rummaged through drawers and cabinets in the small room, making sounds that seemed to follow a certain pattern.

"Watch out, those three assistants from the basement have sneaked up here."

Si Xuanyin peeked out from beside You Yonghuai's feet and reminded him.

Upon hearing this, You Yonghuai raised an eyebrow slightly.

It seems these guys want to use me as raw material.

"Can't find it? Do you need my help?" With Si Xuanyin constantly watching his back, You Yonghuai didn't need to worry; he just needed to wait patiently.

"No need, no need, how could I trouble you, officer?" The man hurriedly stopped You Yonghuai from entering, and the sound of him rummaging through things became more urgent and louder.

"They're coming; they'll be right behind you."

Si Xuanyin spoke up again to remind her.

The sound of a man rummaging through things provided cover, and the footsteps of the three people in the basement were well concealed. When they secretly opened the door, they saw You Yonghuai's unguarded back.

The leader's assistant immediately swung the baseball bat, which was covered in nails, and smashed it hard against the back of You Yonghuai's head.

After dodging to the side, You Yonghuai quickly turned around, glanced at his three assistants, then took two steps forward, bent over and threw a punch.

"Bang!"

The assistant holding the bat was instantly knocked to the ground. You Yonghuai casually snatched the bat from the other's hand and disdainfully flicked it.

With his stats, dealing with these few monsters would be more than enough.

After quickly subduing his assistant, You Yonghuai turned his head to look at the room where the man was.

After the assistant's first swing missed, the man slammed the door shut.

"He's still inside, dragging things to block the door."

Si Xuanyin stuck her head inside and reported the man's actions to You Yonghuai.

"He seems to be preparing something. Be careful when you open the door."

You Yonghuai made a gesture to indicate that he understood, then raised his baseball bat high and smashed it against the door panel.

"Click".

The wooden door shattered, dust flew everywhere, and through the shelf that the man had pushed to block the door, You Yonghuai and the other man exchanged a glance.

"What's wrong? Weren't you the ones who wanted to make a move?" You Yonghuai pried off the remaining half of the wooden door with his bare hands and laughed, "Why did you all hide so suddenly?"

The man stared coldly at You Yonghuai with a chilling gaze and said, "You're not here to check the business license."

"Otherwise what?" You Yonghuai narrowed his eyes, reached out and grabbed a shelf that was practically empty, and said, "Confessing your guilt will save you some suffering."

Otherwise, if they fall into Ye Qingchen's hands, they won't have an easy time.

"...Dream on." The man turned and ran.

"Clang!"

You Yonghuai rolled his eyes, grabbed the shelf with force, and with a burst of powerful strength, lifted it up and casually tossed it aside.

"?" The man turned around upon hearing the sound, and his face was filled with shock after realizing what had happened.

The next second, You Yonghuai rushed up and punched the man in the stomach.

"If I had known this would happen, I would have done it right at the door."

"Yonghuai, there's a basement too," Si Xuanyin poked her head out to warn, "Something in there doesn't seem right."
