Chapter 543: Chapter 395: Report Up
At that moment, Yara had the communicator on speaker, so Dong Tianyu also heard Yara’s father’s words.
Hearing Yara’s father’s inquiry, Dong Tianyu instantly thought that similar circumstances must have arisen in Yara’s hometown; otherwise, Yara wouldn’t be reporting to his dad over the phone.
However, even though Dong Tianyu had already confirmed the situation, at that time, he couldn’t make any guarantees to Yara’s father, as no one could be sure whether the situation at Yara’s father’s location was the same as at the nearby camp. Therefore, in response to Yara’s father’s inquiry, Dong Tianyu simply kept silent and didn’t answer.
Seeing Dong Tianyu remain silent and unresponsive, Yara grew anxious and kept giving him meaningful looks, trying to prompt him to speak. But no matter how Yara signaled, Dong Tianyu didn’t open his mouth.
Yara’s father, on the other end of the communicator and hearing the silence, understood Dong Tianyu’s thoughts. Indeed, even though Dong Tianyu and Yara were somewhat acquainted, it was difficult for either to make guarantees in such situations.
After all, if one were to make a guarantee and Dong Tianyu’s judgment turned out wrong, the outcome would be ungrateful for all the effort put in. Therefore, in that situation, it was best for Dong Tianyu to remain silent, whatever he said could be impactful, so silence was the most appropriate response.
"Yara, this is a conversation between the two of us; let’s not involve others. Regarding the detection method you just mentioned, I’ll find someone to experiment with it.
You know, getting you to Kyoto at this time is the best outcome I could think of. You need to settle down there, and while I still can, I’ll try to secure some resources for you in the family. Make more friends, manage your connections well, because in the future, you might have to rely on yourself."
Upon hearing his dad suddenly bring up these matters, Yara quickly said to his father, "Dad, my friend is still here; we can talk about the family matters later when we have time. First, I’m going to hang up now; we are still outside."
Hearing Yara say this, Yara’s father didn’t say much more, merely adding, "Then take care," before hanging up the phone directly.
After putting away the communicator, Yara turned to Dong Tianyu and asked, "Do we go in for a look, or do we just pull back?"
Upon hearing Yara’s question, Dong Tianyu rolled his eyes and with a tone of disdain, said to Yara, "We already know there’s a problem inside and it’s not safe, yet you still want to go in for a death wish.
Don’t you think your actions are the same as the protagonists in horror films? Knowing the danger but still insisting on courting death. If you want to seek death, go by yourself; don’t drag me along. I’ll wait here for you to come back." Hearing what Dong Tianyu said, Yara didn’t argue and drove the vehicle straight back to the city.
Yara didn’t take Dong Tianyu back to his residence but instead brought him directly to the Officials’ office. When the car stopped, Yara then jokingly asked Dong Tianyu, "Together?"
Seeing Yara’s somewhat rogue action, Dong Tianyu just smiled, then voluntarily opened the car door, stepped out, and together they walked through the main gate of the Officials’ office.
Yara’s time in Kyoto had not been wasted. At least, when it came to reporting an incident, he didn’t have to get a number and wait in line in the hall but took Dong Tianyu directly to the department in charge of related events.
Before they approached the office, Dong Tianyu could see from afar that the door of one office was constantly bustling with people hurrying in and out. Even from a distance, it was apparent that the office was extremely busy.
When Yara entered the office with Dong Tianyu, Dong Tianyu saw that the office was divided into several booths, with almost each booth occupied by someone on the phone or in conversation with others. The staff in each booth were very busy.
As soon as they entered the office, Yara led Dong Tianyu straight to their destination. Once they were inside a booth, the staff member inside glanced up, recognized them, and nonchalantly gestured for Yara and Dong Tianyu to take a seat while he finished his call.
After a while, as soon as the person put down the phone, he couldn’t help but complain to Yara, "With the arrival of the Bug Race this time, I don’t know why, but they haven’t attacked towards Kyoto. Instead, they are gathering together, and I have no idea what they are up to.
Because those bugs are only deployed without attacking, members of the Doomsday Cult in the city have started causing trouble again, utterly annoying. By the way, I forgot to ask, what brings you here this time? And I also forgot to ask who you have with you. Why didn’t you introduce him when you brought him over?"
Perhaps out of work habit, although the person spoke quickly, his enunciation was very clear.
Taking the opportunity while the other person stopped to drink water, Yara had a chance to speak, "Now you’re blaming me. After you hung up, you didn’t leave me any time to talk; kept blabbering nonstop, and now you’re blaming me.
All right, enough nonsense. I’ve come here for a serious matter. Let me introduce you first—this is my friend Dong Tianyu, his abilities are strong. Even though I discovered this issue first, he and I went to confirm it together.
I’ll cut to the chase, what you just mentioned about the Bug Race this time, simply amassing their forces without attacking, might be related to what I’ve discovered."
Hearing Yara’s remarks, the previously casual demeanor of his friend vanished in an instant, replaced by a very serious expression. He immediately said, "Are you sure? Although we have a good relationship, this is not a minor issue. It’s all right for you to talk about it in front of me, but once I report it, I can’t say for sure what the consequences will be. Are you certain you’ve thought this through?"
