Chapter 934 Bernie’s Secret

The food here was very simple, and the only cooking method was to boil it, as there were very few seasonings.

After all, in this backward era, logistics and transportation were basically nonexistent, which also caused the food here to be monotonous in taste.

Lu Yu was thinking about something else as he ate his dinner.

Helen could tell that something was on his mind, so she asked, “Do you think there’s a problem with this city?”

“Or is the food not delicious?”

“No, I think there’s something wrong with Bernie.”

s.h.i.+rley put down her knife and fork and pursed her lips helplessly. “I think so too, but he seems to always be busy. I’ll talk to him when he has the time.”

“He just warned us not to leave the house at night and that we should rest up after dinner.”

s.h.i.+rley looked out the window. Perhaps Bernie said this because the city wasn’t safe at night and it was inconvenient to go around.

Lu Yu finished the food on his plate, stood up, and went to the door.

Lu Yu walked out of the house and stood at the entrance, looking at the courtyard before him.

The surroundings were dimly lit, and the sky was dark, making the entire manor seem much quieter.

No one was around, as if Bernie was the only person living here.

There seemed to be a strange smell in the air.

Lu Yu rubbed his nose and frowned slightly.

He could smell that the air here was mixed with the smell of blood.

The smell of blood…

This was a residential area. How could there be the smell of blood? This manor wasn’t close to a slaughterhouse.

He had discovered those people undergoing inhumane experiments. Those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds from the Truth Department captured demi-humans and used them to make potions to turn a half-dragon man into a real dragon.

Lu Yu followed the smell of blood and walked forward.

Helen also walked out of the house. She looked at Lu Yu and asked, “Where are you going?”

“Go back and rest. Don’t worry about me.”

Lu Yu turned around and glanced at her.

Helen pursed her lips and turned around, listening to Lu Yu’s advice.

After all, she did not need to worry about Lu Yu’s safety. No one could threaten his safety.

Lu Yu followed the smell of blood and headed toward the villa.

This was Bernie’s villa, and there was only one light lit up, the study room.

Lu Yu circled around and suddenly felt something soft under his feet.

He stopped in his tracks and stepped hard on the soil under his feet.

Gradually, he noticed what was wrong.

He quickly squatted on the ground and reached out, touching the gra.s.s.

He gripped a handle.

There was a bas.e.m.e.nt in the backyard of this villa!

He gently pulled the handle and opened a square iron trapdoor.

After slowly pulling it open, a dark and deep tunnel appeared before Lu Yu. The stairs in front of him extended all the way down.

This bas.e.m.e.nt looked ominous. Of course, it was also possible that he was overthinking things, and it was a harmless place to store food.

Lu Yu slowly walked down the stairs.

He took out his Star Piercing Demonic Sword. A circle of flames rose from the sword, acting like a torch.

After walking down slowly, Lu Yu saw a wooden door.

Opening the wooden door, Lu Yu walked in and lit the oil lamp on the wall.

When the room lit up slightly, Lu Yu realized it was indeed just a storage room.

The storage room was bare except for a few cabinets with some goods in them.

Suddenly, he heard footsteps behind him.

“Are you looking for something here?”

Lu Yu turned around and saw Bernie in a black robe standing behind him.

“Nothing much. I was just looking around and found this place. You don’t mind, right?”

“Logically speaking, I should mind. This bas.e.m.e.nt is already abandoned, so I won’t make a fuss even after you enter without my permission.”

Lu Yu looked at the ground, and his eyes quickly finished a.n.a.lyzing it.

“Is it really abandoned? Someone had come to this bas.e.m.e.nt recently, and a lot of them.”

Bernie frowned and asked, “What does this have to do with you?”

“The bas.e.m.e.nt is so dirty and dilapidated. Logically speaking, you should have hired someone to clean it if you have someone coming in.”

“However, many people have been here, yet it’s still so dirty. This is strange, no?”

Bernie snorted. “What nonsense are you on? Why are you so sure that someone else has been here? No one has even come here before you!”

Lu Yu shook his head. He could feel the hinges loosening when he walked over the trapdoor above ground.

If it had stayed shut before their slumber, it would have been impossible for it to give in that easily.

Obviously, someone had been in and out of this place. The fact that Bernie refused to admit it increased Lu Yu’s suspicion.

“Could there be another secret room here?”

Bernie jolted slightly, and two drops of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

“What nonsense are you blabbering? Hurry up and go back. I’ll pretend that you’ve never been here and won’t fuss about it. If you continue to stay here and refuse to leave, then don’t blame me for getting rude!”

His tone was hurried, and he wanted Lu Yu to leave quickly.

“What’s the rush? I’m just looking around casually. The things here have all been abandoned since then, so you don’t have to worry that I’ll steal anything, right?”

Lu Yu smiled as he spoke. He quickly began to look around.

“I’ll say this one last time. If you don’t go out now, you’ll stay here forever!”

He looked at Lu Yu with a gloomy gaze and crossed his hands, threatening to attack Lu Yu.

“What are you so worried about? It’s useless to threaten me, especially when you’re not my match.”

“Is that so? You’re too arrogant when you don’t know how strong I am!”

“Strong? Do you think you can defeat me?”

“Laughable, what a joke. The arrogance you have! It seems like I’ll have to teach you a lesson, and I won’t show you any mercy just because you’re my cousin’s friend.”

“s.h.i.+rley is such a jinx. How could she bring someone so troublesome?”

He spat with resentment.

“That’s your cousin. How could you say that?”

“Bulls.h.i.+t. Those people in my family are all trash, and I can’t be bothered with them. I clearly changed my address, but how could she still find me? Ugh.”

“I’m so strong that I can easily destroy them. What right do they have to see visit me?”

Lu Yu shook his head speechlessly. “After becoming stronger, you sure got arrogant. This is rare. I have seen many strong cultivators, but the stronger they get, the more hards.h.i.+ps they experience, and the more humble they are to others.”

“However, there is an exception. That is, someone with their strength inflated using special means, causing this person’s temperament to change drastically.”
