Chapter 42: Frenzy / Die; Don’t You Think that Top-Tier O Looks a Lot Like…
Jiang Chenyan sharply sensed the sound of wind. He suddenly tilted his body, and a bullet grazed his arm. It left a charred bullet hole on the wall, and warm blood instantly soaked his sleeve.
With one hand, he pressed firmly on the bleeding wound. With the other, he raised his gun to fire. Some of the Alpha bodyguards fell. Stray bullets grazed past his ears. He exerted force with his legs, performing a crisp jump over the stair railing. Upon landing, he grabbed the Omegas behind him and led the group as they sprinted through the chaos.
Luo De stood at the head of the stairs, watching the people gradually run far away. his face darkened inch by inch, the pressure around him frighteningly low.
…
Jiang Chenyan finally met up with Kai Lan and Mo Qingyu at the corner of the third-floor stairs.
The people behind were chasing them relentlessly, the sound of footsteps constantly echoing in the enclosed space.
Jiang Chenyanâs brows were furrowed tight as he said deeply: “This isn’t the way. Someone must lead them away.”
“I’ll go with you.” Kai Lan grabbed his arm. “We will lead them away.”
Jiang Chenyan turned to look at him, a hint of hesitation in his eyes: “Are you sure you want to take this risk?”
“One hundred percent sure.” Kai Lan patted his shoulder and gave a light laugh. “First, let’s ‘die’ and talk later. To be honest, the two of us really need to die once.”
Jiang Chenyan didn’t quite understand his meaning. What did he mean, the two of them needed to die once?
Kai Lan didn’t offer an explanation for Jiang Chenyanâs confusion for now. He just gave him a pull and said in a low voice: “Let’s go.”
Mo Qingyu, on the side, was frowning tight. Just as he was about to follow up with “You guys are going to…”, he was interrupted by Jiang Chenyan.
“You guys find a room to hide in first,” Jiang Chenyan looked at Mo Qingyu. “Kai Lan and I will lead them upstairs.”
“Listen to me, we won’t be in trouble. Thereâs no time to hesitate now; you guys hurry and leave.”
Mo Qingyu knew now wasn’t the time to be conflicted. He nodded immediately and ushered the Omegas to find a hidden place to take cover.
Jiang Chenyan and Kai Lan didn’t dare to delay further. One after the other, they rushed into the stairwell, their footsteps flying as they sprinted upward. The hurried footsteps bounced off the walls, creating layers of echoes.
Luo Deâs gaze locked onto the two figures on the stairs. His face was so gloomy it could drip water, the ruthless light in his eyes almost enough to pierce through them. He must kill this Omega! Even if it was a top-tier Omega! An Omega who touches the bottom line and isn’t obedientâitâs better if they are dead.
Should he turn the two into specimens?
Beautiful things should be preserved forever. Only by freezing them can they not fade or disappear…
While Jiang Chenyan was struggling upward, his hands gripping the stair railing until they were white, he turned to look at Kai Lan beside him. “So in your plan, this Omega identity must come to an end?”
Kai Lan followed while panting, beads of sweat from his temples dripping down his jaw. Yet he smiled: “Smart enough. Only by dying can the 80 million star coin transaction be considered completely concluded. All those eyes on this Omega identity will truly give up.”
Letting someone who doesn’t exercise much climb stairs nearly took Kai Lanâs life. “Mainly because you are indeed a bit popular. Someone spread your photo all over the darknet. To avoid unnecessary trouble in the future, we have to fake a death once.”
Jiang Chenyanâs heart sank, then he understood.
He was Jiang Chenyan. He was an Alpha of the Alliance Military Academy. This was his identity on the surface.
Now that Mu Sian and Xie Huaijin were involved, their suspicion followed him like a shadow. If he didn’t want to confirm that he was the Omega being auctioned tonight, the only way was to make the Omega identity vanish completely.
Death was the best way to break all doubts.
Only after the “Omega identity” was completely dead could he continue to stay in the military academy with peace of mind.
“How do we die?” Jiang Chenyan asked while panting, the heat from his sprint still lingering in his eyes.
Kai Lan turned to give him a mysterious smile. “Don’t be anxious. You’ll know in a bit.”
Luo De was chasing relentlessly; they couldn’t stop. Running all the way up the stairs, they finally reached the top floor. Jiang Chenyan raised a knee and slammed it hard against the iron door, kicking it open. He then rushed onto the rooftop with Kai Lan.
The cool evening wind instantly swept over them, piercing through their sweat-soaked clothes and blowing away most of the heat from their flight.
In the night sky not far away, starlight spread into a brilliant Milky Way, shimmering under the dark sky.
Cool night, evening wind, the Milky Way…
Jiang Chenyan and Kai Lan exchanged a glance. Their feet exerted force in synchronization as they sprinted toward the edge of the rooftop until there was no retreat behind them. the cold night wind made their clothes rustle.
Luo Deâs figure appeared at the rooftop entrance. His eyes were bloodshot, his messy hair flapping against his face. “Why aren’t you running? Go ahead and keep escaping!”
The twoâs backs were pressed against the railing at the edge of the rooftop. Jiang Chenyan ignored the already frantic Luo De, only turning his head to look at Kai Lan beside him. “What do we do now?”
“Now, jump down.” Kai Lanâs voice was as calm as if he were stating a perfectly ordinary matter.
Jiang Chenyanâs pupils constricted. “Wait, what?” Jump? Was he joking?
Luo De led his men closer step by step. Shadows gradually enveloped and consumed the two.
But Kai Lan suddenly paused. His fingertips hooked the edge of his mask, gave it a light tug, and casually tossed it aside. The face revealed had distinct contours under the starlight, and those blue pupils were like the crushed Milky Way, merging with the thick dark night.
Luo De squinted, staring at Kai Lanâs face that was suddenly exposed under the night sky. “Don’t waste time. Don’t tell me you want to rely on your face to trade for a way out? Or do you want to leave a few last words?”
Countless laser guns were aimed in unison at the two figures at the edge of the rooftop.
Jiang Chenyanâs heart was calm without a single ripple. He believed in Kai Lan.
The relationship between them had long since changed; they had unconsciously become friends.
And the most basic condition of being friends was trust.
So the moment Kai Lanâs palm steadily clamped onto his wrist, Jiang Chenyan didn’t hesitate in the slightest. He followed him over the cold railing, and their bodies instantly fell into the boundless night.
Watching the two jump over the railing without hesitation, Luo Deâs pupils constricted abruptly, and the ruthlessness on his face suddenly froze.
The wild wind whistled as it poured into his chest, and his breathing became messy.
The speed of their fall became faster and faster. Jiang Chenyan instinctively looked down, only to see a violent explosion suddenly erupt below. Raging fire rose into the sky, the hot light waves washing through his field of visionâscorching and burning. Falling down meant not only being smashed to pieces, but possibly being burned to ash.
Right at the moment the two were about to fall into the sea of fire, Kai Lanâs wrist suddenly flipped. The bracelet on his wrist lit up with a ghostly blue light.
A spherical aircraft flew out from a hidden spot. It accurately opened a pre-installed hidden hatch at the top, which unfolded as the two were falling.
The two happened to fall into the aircraft, and soft buffer cushions instantly caught them firmly.
The aircraft hatch closed, and it silently passed through the sea of fire, piercing the sky as it flew rapidly toward the distant darkness.
…
Luo De walked slowly to the edge of the rooftop. He looked down; the entire area had been consumed by the sea of fire.
There was no ripple in his eyes. There was only one judgment in his heart: falling from such a height, those two were highly likely not to have survived.
After watching all this, Luo De didn’t say anything. He just stood by the railing, his gaze cold as ice. Itâs better if theyâre dead; it saves further trouble.
Only, his brows furrowed slightly as a trace of doubt crossed his heart. How could an explosion suddenly happen below? This was far too coincidental.
Until a burst of hurried footsteps broke the silence of the rooftop.
Luo De had just turned his head when he saw a group of people in military uniform blocking the entrance, the dark muzzles of their guns pointing firmly at him. “Don’t move!”
Luo De raised an eyebrow, a mocking smile hooking his lips. His gaze swept over the badge on the otherâs shoulder, yet he made no move to resist, obediently raising his hands.
…
Lying on the aircraft seats, Jiang Chenyanâs tensed body suddenly relaxed. He let out a long sigh of relief and turned to look at Kai Lan beside him. “You calculated all this in advance? Including that fire below.”
Kai Lan was silent for a moment before responding unnaturally, “I suppose so.”
Jiang Chenyanâs brows furrowed as he followed the line of thought: “Then I guess the explosion this time was Shen Shiyueâs doing?”
“It was indeed him.” Kai Lanâs tone held a bit more praise. “He was the one who took the initiative to propose setting it up. This was a dangerous matter to begin with; for him to be able to complete it successfully is indeed not simple.”
Jiang Chenyan nodded lightly. The continuous flight and escape turned into heavy fatigue at this moment. He leaned against the cabin wall, his voice carrying a trace of hoarseness: “It’s good that heâs fine. Hurry and contact him; ask what the situation is like now.”
Kai Lan nodded in response and raised a hand to pull up the communication interface.
The moment the communication connected, Shen Shiyue appeared on the screen. Both sides breathed a sigh of relief. After confirming Jiang Chenyan and Kai Lan were safe, his tensed shoulders visibly relaxed. “I’ll send a location to you. We’ll meet up there.”
“Okay.”
The two hurried to meet up. Little did they know, a report was suddenly rushing to the number one spot on the interstellar hot search:
[Military Bulletin: SS+ Grade Omega fell from the auction house rooftop; death confirmed.]
Addition: Fell from the rooftop together with a companion.
This was the photo taken through the rooftop camera: in the photo, two figures stood at the edge, their bodies already leaning back, their clothes being blown back by the evening wind.
The discussion in the comments section was varied, already a mess.
“I have an impression of that blue-eyed Omega. Someone filmed him barging into the auction house to save other Omegas before. I didn’t expect…”
“Truly hard to reconcile. He was clearly a hero, how could he just be gone like this.”
“Am I the only one who thinks the SS+ grade Omega looks very familiar? He looks exactly like Jiang Chenyan of the Alliance Military Academy.”
“Upstairs, don’t stir up trouble! Jiang Chenyan is an Alpha. Besides, Jiang Chenyan is alive and well, not a single thing wrong.”
“Wait, you guys have been discussing for so long and outsiders are confused. Who is Jiang Chenyan?”
“Why do you care who Jiang Chenyan is? The most important thing now is the Omega auction issue. Do people still have human rights?!”
“Right, I remember now. The blue-eyed Omega is from the Nash family. That family is very traditional…”
“Upstairs, the focus is the Omega auction issue. Why are you stirring up trouble?!”
“…”
After arriving at the meeting point agreed upon with Shen Shiyue, the heart that had been hanging for a long time finally settled. Everything was a foregone conclusion.
They had succeeded.
Jiang Chenyan looked at Kai Lan beside him. “Your social identity is now dead. What do you plan to do from now on?”
“Go on with my new career, of course.” Kai Lanâs eyes glinted with hard-to-conceal excitement. He was finally free. “This ‘death’ is simply too wonderful. The effect of completely vanishing is exactly what I wanted. I can finally escape that suffocating family.”
Looking at his uncharacteristically relaxed appearance, Jiang Chenyan was silent for a moment before nodding lightly. “Now, I suddenly understand you a bit.”
Kai Lan had mentioned to him before that his family had long ago arranged a destination for himâhighly likely being sent for a political marriage, becoming a pawn to consolidate family interests. But this was definitely not the ending he deserved.
He held a scientific research talent that surpassed ordinary people, able to develop all kinds of new products. This ability had long since placed him at a height most people could hardly reach. His life shouldn’t be trapped in a framework defined by the world, much less end at a marriage.
“Actually, my family treats me quite well.” Kai Lan was a bit helpless, but there were some things he was forced into. He truly loathed political marriage. He loathed a life of following rules, accepting a destiny that had been arranged step-by-step. Even with this fake death, he would miss his parents and secretly shed tears…
“But they can’t give me what I truly want. Sometimes kinship can become a shackle.”
“If thereâs an opportunity, I also hope to become a top scientific researcher in the military, developing all kinds of weapons.”
Jiang Chenyan looked at him. “You will succeed.”
These four words were light yet powerful, like a promise and a blessing.
Wishing for his free soul to be settled.
Hearing this, Kai Lan smiled, his features full of relief. “Then I’ll take a step ahead. Remember, no matter what happens, contact me anytime. I am everywhere.”
He waved goodbye to the two, his figure gradually disappearing into the night.
Jiang Chenyan turned to look at Shen Shiyue beside him. The two nodded in a tacit understanding, preparing to return to the branch. There was still a pile of mess waiting to be cleaned up there.
At the same time, the news spread like wildfire throughout the galaxy. Admiral Celeus was furious upon learning that such filthy things were hidden in his jurisdiction. He immediately ordered a strict investigation, not only arresting a large number of core auction house personnel, but also ensuring some of the participating guests didn’t escape.
Upon discovering his subordinate Luo De had done such a bastarly thing, he immediately threw him into the interstellar prison. This selfless act won the unanimous support and praise of the masses. Related support hashtags continued to dominate the hot search.
Mo Qingyu and those rescued Omegas were also properly settled. Now they were gradually returning to a stable, ordinary life, away from danger.
Jiang Chenyan and Shen Shiyue returned to the branch. Facing the inquisitive gazes from Ji Xuan and the others, they could only grit their teeth and explain: “We went out to play for two days. We didn’t expect that as soon as we returned, weâd hear that so many things had happened.”
Ji Xuan opened his mouth, seeming to want to say something, but in the end he only vaguely responded: “So… it was like that.”
As the words fell, the air instantly fell into a continuous silence. The several people looked at each other; no one took the initiative to speak again. it was a bit awkward.
It wasn’t until Jiang Chenyan pulled up a few “travel photos” from his terminal that the tensed expressions on Ji Xuan and the others softened slightly.
“But thereâs good news.” Ji Xuan changed the topic. “Admiral Celeus plans to meet with us. He said heâll be here in a bit.”
Hearing this, Jiang Chenyan was silent for a moment. “…”
Quite a hurry.
He didn’t say much, only nodding.
The group quickly changed into their formal uniforms and came to the agreed-upon reception room. Pushing open the door, they saw Xie Huaijin and his team already sitting there. And in the seat beside Xie Huaijin, sat… Mu Sian.
Jiang Chenyanâs footsteps paused slightly. His gaze met Mu Sianâs in the air briefly before shifting away.
The several people took their seats in order. Jiang Chenyan sat straight in his chair, looking very ordinary and no different from usual.
Right then, the door was pushed open, and Admiral Celeus strode in. Everyone in the room instinctively rose to salute, but he raised a hand and waved it, his voice steady: “No need for ceremony. Everyone, sit at ease.”
Once everyone was settled, Admiral Celeus spoke first, his tone gentle: “I am very happy you students could come. However, some things happened in my jurisdiction recently, which delayed us for a while. Now things are finally settled properly.”
In the subsequent time, he didn’t mention a single word about the auction house. He only discussed topics centered on military studies, from tactical theory to combat exercises. His words were full of expectations for the younger generation.
Throughout the entire process, Jiang Chenyan sat in a corner without saying a word, trying to lower his presence.
Someone suddenly kicked him hard. The kick caused even the edge of the table to vibrate. the glass cup beside his hand fell onto the floorâit didn’t break, but it made a loud clatter. In the quiet room, it was exceptionally piercing.
Instantly, everyoneâs gaze focused in unison on Jiang Chenyan. The air suddenly solidified.
Jiang Chenyan: “…”
Admiral Celeus looked at Jiang Chenyan, his eye color very deep, yet he suddenly let out a light laugh. “This should be Student Jiang.” He paused, his gaze sweeping over the people present before landing back on Jiang Chenyan. “After the meeting ends, you stay. I’ll talk to you alone about something.”
Jiang Chenyan nodded silently in agreement, but his fingertips were unconsciously clenching.
From the moment he stepped into this room, he always felt something wasn’t quite right, as if he were being quietly enveloped by an invisible net.
A sinister poisonous snake was lurking in the dark, waiting at any moment to take a bite of him.
