Chapter 2 – He's going to die
Qing City, in the eastern district.
Jiangshan aristocratic family apartment building, 12th floor.
Two police officers stared at Chen Yu in silence, the room was quiet.
"So." The male police officer looked at the "Corpse" appellation on Chen Yu's head and his eyes were deep, "You're already dead."@@novelbin@@
"But you can see." Chen Yu shrugged, "I'm not dead."
Support us at .
The female police officer behind the male police officer hesitated for a moment, "But you clearly look dead."
"I obviously am not dead." Chen Yu retorted.
"Is that why you don't dare to go out?" the male police officer asked.
"Yes." Chen Yu nodded repeatedly, "I scared you both just now when I took off my hat. If I go out, it will cause panic."
"Do you think he could be an 'Evil Creature'?" the female police officer whispered in the male police officer's ear, "The appellation and the person don't match, it's too strange."
"You guys really want to treat me like a 'bad guy'!" Chen Yu suddenly became nervous and jumped back a meter, "What kind of 'Evil Creature' can calmly chat with you like this? I would have dismembered you already! Look at how smoothly I move, there's no trace of an 'Evil Creature' at all! Hey! Look, I can even walk fast, hey, I can jog, watch me jog. I can even jump! Hey, jump! Hey,big jump..."
Watching Chen Yu run around the room, the male police officer nodded slowly, "This kind of mental state does indeed have the shadow of an 'Evil Creature'."
"... "Chen Yu immediately froze in place. After a moment of silence, he quickly took off his shirt, revealing his white upper body and shouted, "Can't you see my human characteristics?! I have arms, legs, belly button, and armpit hair! And, as everyone knows, 'Evil Creatures' have no reproductive function, let me show you..."
"Enough." The male police officer quickly interrupted Chen Yu's desperate attempt to prove his identity, walked forward, and handcuffed him, "Come with us to the police station for a detailed investigation."
"I am really not an 'Evil Creature'." Chen Yu felt like he was about to cry.
'Evil Creatures' are the common enemy of all humans in this world.
Aside from their appearance, which is similar to that of "beasts," their most typical "feature" is the ability to change the appellation on their head, hiding among human society.
Apart from not having "Transcendent power" and the desire to "drink blood," his current situation is actually somewhat similar to that of an 'Evil Creature.'
So, for the past year, he hasn't dared to step out of his house. He's afraid that on a bad weather day, he'll encounter a "Transcendent" or "plainclothes police officer" with a bad attitude who will see him, a "walking rotten meat," a "walking corpse," from afar and shoot him...
"I... I am a law-abiding citizen!" Chen Yu opened his mouth wide and yelled.
"Shut up. We'll make a judgment when we get to the police station." The male police officer bent down, picked up the hat Chen Yu had taken off, and put it back on his head, covering the word "Corpse."
Of course, he also knew that Chen Yu was not an "Evil Creature."
After all, the appearance of "Evil Creatures" is very different from that of humans.
But as a police officer, when faced with such a strange problem where the "appellation" and "real identity" do not match, they still have to take him back to the station for investigation.
Five minutes later.
Accompanied by a creaking sound of the door opening.Chen Yu, wearing a coat and handcuffs, was taken outside by two police officers, a man and a woman.
The Fat Neighbor, who was standing nearby, saw the scene and exclaimed, "He is indeed a criminal!"
After a moment of silence, Chen Yu roared, "Asshole, it was you who reported me!"
"Yes," The Fat Neighbor proudly admitted, "Is there a problem? It's every citizen's duty to combat crime."
The male police officer coughed and reminded him to hide his identity as an informant.
"It's fine," The Fat Neighbor waved his hand, "After he's sentenced, what can he do?"
Chen Yu warned him, "You just wait."
"He threatened me!" The Fat Neighbor accused the male police officer, "Arrest him too!"
The male police officer glared at Chen Yu and pulled him away.
"Oh, by the way, comrade police officer, what crime did he commit?" The Fat Neighbor curiously asked.
"He didn't commit any crime," the male police officer replied, "We just want to bring him in for questioning."
The smile on The Fat Neighbor's face slowly disappeared.
Chen Yu's smile, on the other hand, slowly appeared.
...
They arrived at the police station in the police car.
The male police officer led Chen Yu to a room and told him to wait. Then he left.
As the iron door closed, Chen Yu gradually relaxed and looked around. He realized that he was in an interrogation room.
In the middle of the room was a prominent stainless steel chair that glimmered and shone under the bright lights. It emitted an inexplicable attraction.
As if uncontrollably, Chen Yu sat on the chair.
After a while, the iron door opened.
A middle-aged police officer with the title of "Deputy Director of the Police Station" and a middle-aged woman with the title of "Assistant Director" entered the room, followed by the two young police officers.
There were four of them in total.
The middle-aged police officer was visibly surprised to see Chen Yu sitting on the interrogation chair. "Young man, you're quite obedient."
Chen Yu remained silent.
"Chen Yu, take off your hat and let our director see it," the male police officer said.
"Okay."
Chen Yu sighed and obediently took off his hat, revealing the words "Dead Body" in bold letters.
"Goodness," even though she was prepared, the middle-aged police officer was still surprised. She walked up to Chen Yu and circled around him a few times, exclaiming, "My goodness, this is really eye-opening."
"Director, can you let me go now that you has seen enough?" Chen Yu asked.
"You can call me Director," the middle-aged police officer said.
The male police officer behind her asked, "Director, do you understand what it means?"
"Yes," the Director nodded, took out a cigarette from her pocket, lit it, and said while smoking, "It's a typical anticipatory appellation."
"What is an anticipatory appellation?" Chen Yu and the male police officer asked in unison.
"As the name suggests, it's an appellation that changes in advance," the Director explained slowly, "Our titles change with our identity, occupation, and age, right? Anticipatory appellation is a change that happens in advance.""For example, I haven't graduated from the police academy yet, but I already have the title of 【Police】?" The male police officer was surprised.
"Yes."
The middle-aged police officer nodded, "Such people are extremely rare. No matter what job or social status they have, their appellations will change in advance. In the past, research teams have studied this phenomenon without much result. It can only be guessed that the objective time related to 'appellation' on this person's body has accelerated."
"I see." The male police officer squinted and scratched his chin, "Anticipatory Appellation... There are such strange things."
"Chief, you know so much!" The female police officer looked at him with admiration, "You're so knowledgeable."
"In this vast world, there are countless wonders. The more you see and hear, the more you understand." The middle-aged police officer exhaled a thick puff of smoke, looking at the 【Corpse】 text above Chen Yu's head indifferently.
Chen Yu also quietly watched the other party show off.
What a load of crap about "Anticipatory Appellation."
The "title" above his head was completely fake...
"Eh?" The middle-aged woman who had been standing behind the three police officers and had been silent suddenly realized something and exclaimed in shock, "So, he..."
"Yes." The middle-aged police officer extinguished his cigarette and looked at Chen Yu seriously, "He's going to die."
Chen Yu: "…"
