Chapter 27: Unknown II (2/2)
Ye Chong was in a pitiful situation with a series of unfortunate events. He never thought this habitual reaction of protecting himself would actually pay off.
Before he could wallow in self-pity, smash! A metal cabinet that weighed about 300 pounds came crashing down on Ye Chong. He took a blow that was a powerful as a mech’s attack when he was temporarily blinded by the glaring light emitting from utmost darkness, and before he regained his vision to respond.
The giant cabinet fell from a three meter height right onto his body. His throat was locked with sweetness as he choked out a stream of blood that escaped from his mouth and lost consciousness afterwards.
All the lights flickered on and the debris that was initially floating in space settled on the ground one after another. As the gravity restored, the room felt more refreshed. The entrance at the stairs was shut and oxygen started filling the ship through the ceiling.
Of course Ye Chong had no idea what was going on. He was still flat on the ground, pinned under the cabinet with only his limbs sprawled out.
The door of the room was wrenched open as a dashing man entered with another fully armored man.
The dashing young man reported as if seeing land on the sea, “Number 2, there’s one more person here!”
The armored man replied, “Young master, we would take a look, but chances are slim for his survival.”
The young man assessed Ye Chong’s state and expressed sympathy, “This is really bad. He got smashed pretty severely.”
Number 2 came over to lift the heavy cabinet on its sides easily and tossed it to the other side. There wasn’t much effort needed in removing the cabinet as if it was like a blob of foam.
He then flipped Ye Chong over and examined him thoroughly, astounded, “This man is still alive!”
The young man couldn’t believe what he heard, “Impossible! Is this thing still a man?”
Number 2 too expressed disbelief, “It doesn’t seem like a man of steel to me!” Ye Chong was a little more slender in contrast, contrary to his immense strength and deceitful appearance. Even Mu was surprised seeing how there was no significant growth in his weight while his strength boosted.
Number 2 furrowed his brows, “He looks foreign to me. Why have I not met this man before?”
“Right! I somehow have not seen him before too!” The young man agreed.
Number 2 glimpsed at Ye Chong and concluded, “The material and design of his clothing are unique… and rare too... We don’t have such clothing in the spacecraft!”
The young man was bewildered, “So he’s not from our ship? Then how did he get up here?”
It was still a mystery to Number 2 as he couldn’t figure out much of an explanation. He scrutinized further and when he spotted the dagger in Ye Chong’s hand, his pupil shrunk in fear. Number 2 recognized the dagger from experience and knew it was utterly meant for combative uses. The chills he got from seeing the dagger was telling him that it had not only robbed a life of one but many.
He snatched the dagger away fast with both of his hands. The young master ran into an unknown stranger who was actually holding a weapon of murder. Number 2 strictly opposed of saving Ye Chong’s life even if he was deeply wounded! Caution was what he should possess; protecting the young master was what he should undertake!
Coincidentally, Ye Chong slowly regained consciousness, but he did not expect a metallic arm to grab him in split seconds after he opened his eyes.
The hair on his body stood, and his eyes widened like saucers!
