Chapter 218: Ah, Yes, Yes, Yes

"Do they still need waiters here after being closed for so long?"

"The business will resume once the boss lady returns, and then there will be customers."

"What do you do?"

"Of course, I’m a waiter and receptionist, also in charge of cashier duties, what else?"

"I just wonder if the customers might find it a bit unusual to see your esteemed appearance…"

"What do you mean by that? Am I ugly?"

"On par with ill omens."

"?"

"I’m complimenting you for being distinctive. Those who have lost their colors can’t help but become rigid in all the right places after seeing you."

"What you’re saying sounds offensive, a bit vulgar."

"It was a pleasant conversation with you, but it’s about time for me to leave."

"Alright then."

"By the way, I ran out of money for my tram fare, can you lend me 10,000 yen?"

"Does it cost that much for a tram ride?"

"If you have spare change, that would also work."

Fu Yaokai reached into his sleeve, took out his wallet, flipped through several bills of different colors, hesitated a few times before finally placing a few 500 yen coins on the counter.

"Alright, consider it my treat, hurry and go."

"Thank you." Bai Wei accepted the coins without hesitation. "You’re truly a kind person. Can we shake hands before I go?"

young Fu Yaokai reluctantly complied, and seeing Bai Wei’s sincere expression, he extended his hand, and the two briefly shook hands.

As Bai Wei held his hand, he suddenly let out a sigh. "I probably won’t be able to repay this money."

The corner of young Fu Yaokai’s mouth twitched. He wanted to let go of his hand, but the other held on tightly, so he could only say, "I wasn’t expecting you to repay it either…"

"It’s not that I can’t afford to repay it," Bai Wei shook his head, "but rather, by the time I come back next time, you probably won’t be here anymore."

young Fu Yaokai paused. "Are you saying that I might become unemployed?"

"Not unemployed, but… you weren’t originally working here," Bai Wei said leisurely.

young Fu Yaokai’s expression changed. At first glance, his heavily made-up appearance seemed like an ordinary flamboyant guy, but as he squinted his eyes, his gaze suddenly became sharp and fierce, reminiscent of a predatory bird.

However, it seemed that Bai Wei completely failed to notice this danger, and instead, smiled nonchalantly. "How could a completely transformed Yao clan member possibly work in an underground restaurant like this? It’s not like I’m here for a life experience."

young Fu Yaokai’s fierce expression disappeared once again, and he said indifferently, "I don’t know what you’re talking about."

"You can know," Bai Wei tapped on the radius bone of his counterpart’s arm with his finger. "There’s a very simple way to distinguish between humans and Yao, and that is the bone… Even after transformation, the integrity of the bone is different, like this piece… and this one…"

Just as he finished speaking, the counter between the two suddenly shattered.

The wooden furniture was kicked into two halves.

One foot, like the tail of a scorpion, pierced through the wooden table and kicked directly towards Bai Wei’s abdomen, but was intercepted by Bai Wei halfway.

Fu Yaokai’s other hand, as fast as lightning, stabbed towards Bai Wei’s shoulder, not aiming for a vital spot, but capable of disabling half of the arm with a single move.

Just before the strike landed, Bai Wei’s leg swept across, causing the bar counter and furniture to scatter even more, hitting in between the lower legs.

Although it hit, it felt as if kicking a sponge. Fu Yaokai lost balance and fell to the ground but took the opportunity to twist his body, tightly gripping Bai Wei’s right hand with his right hand. Both of them were still holding hands, and he intended to directly break Bai Wei’s right arm.

Bai Wei directly pulled his arm and smashed it against the hall. After the figure let go, it spun like a flying top, the bright red robe resembling colorful bird feathers, crashing through tables and chairs all the way, and finally sticking to the wall. The violent force made the doors and windows repeatedly collide, producing sounds.

The magnificent feathered wings had already spread behind Fu Yaokai, and a bright red exclamation mark appeared above his head.

[Feathered Bird]

[Centenary Fairy]

[Demon Kingdom Spy]

[Supernatural Power Release ]

"I could tell at a glance that you’re not human."

Bai Wei shook his right hand, revealing bloodstains from scratched fingernails on the back of his hand.

Feathered Bird said in a deep voice, "You don’t seem to have the Heavenly Eye open either. How did you figure it out?"

"Just simple deduction," Bai Wei said calmly. "There are too many inconsistencies in your behavior."

"Inconsistencies?"

"First, the door here isn’t locked, and you’re not cleaning. You’re not even stationed at the cashier’s counter, and you neither serve nor drive away customers. It seems like you’re indifferent and unconcerned about this place."

"This is not my shop, why should I care?" Feathered Bird retorted.

Bai Wei neither confirmed nor denied, and continued, "Second, you’re not familiar with this place. I asked you to pour a cup of coffee, but you searched through cabinets and boxes for a while before finally finding the coffee machine."

"Perhaps I’m only responsible for receiving guests and handling cash?" Feathered Bird retorted stubbornly.

Bai Wei continued, "Then it’s strange…since the business has been suspended for half a month, why is there still cooled coffee in the coffee machine? Moreover, its taste hasn’t turned stale."

Feathered Bird fell silent.

Bai Wei continued, "Furthermore, I asked around when I went out, and Dragon Sakura doesn’t have a receptionist like you. After all, your appearance is so ‘outstanding’ that it’s hard to forget, and the nearby shopkeepers couldn’t possibly not remember… They also confirmed that this place was still operating until yesterday."

Feathered Bird tightened his facial muscles.

"So, when you first left for a few minutes, you were actually asking people nearby…"

It’s really suspicious to be doubted upon our first meeting.

"Why do you suspect me?"

"With such extravagant attire, can’t I suspect you?"

"You’re discriminating!"

"So what if I discriminate against flashy sissies like you?" Bai Wei lifted his head proudly.

Of course, this is a lie.

The direct reason for suspecting him was, of course, the white exclamation mark above his head. This kind of hidden identity white exclamation mark often signifies deeper secrets once unraveled.

"Even if I’m not from here, how did you figure out that I’m not human?" Feathered Bird deliberately asked, seemingly trying to buy time and search for loopholes. He, too, suspected that Bai Wei was not just an ordinary person.

Bai Wei is indeed just one person. It was a chance encounter that happened on the spur of the moment, and he calmly explained it in detail.

"Suspecting that you’re not human is purely based on the feeling that you don’t seem human. My intuition in this regard is quite effective."

"So, the handshake at the end was to confirm then…"

"No, that was fake, just a test." Bai Wei innocently shrugged, "So there’s such a simple way?"

Feathered Bird was stunned, then became furious, shouting, "You deceived me!"

"It’s proven effective every time." Bai Wei smiled. "If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being too foolish… A secret agent from the Demon Kingdom sneaking around here, there must be a big conspiracy behind it."

Feathered Bird no longer wanted to ask how the other party guessed his background and identity.

But Bai Wei, still smug and proud, continued to ask, "Aren’t you curious how I knew?"

Feathered Bird coldly snorted, "Is it intuition again?"

"It’s not intuition, it’s deduction," Bai Wei said. "Your wallet… it contains currency from at least four countries: the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, the Ming Country, Yingzhou, and the Alliance. There are quite a few of them, and they’re scattered, proving that you’ve been to all these places in a short period, with short stays. It’s too coincidental if it’s just a normal Yingzhou tourist carrying currency from multiple countries, especially during the time when the Gray Tide has closed off the seas…"

Feathered Bird understood and felt a wave of fear.

All the previous casual conversations were purposefully probing, but he hadn’t realized it at all, only thinking about driving the person away.

"Who are you, really?" Feathered Bird asked.

"I’m just here for a part-time job," Bai Wei said honestly.

"Hmph," Feathered Bird sneered. "Ordinary people wouldn’t have such keen observations."

"Believe it or not, it’s up to you." Bai Wei had only been in charge of leading the Black Rose Order, skilled in assassinations, interrogations, psychology, and deduction.

"Whoever you are, it’s best if you don’t get involved, otherwise…" Feathered Bird’s face turned cold and stern.

Bai Wei continued, "Don’t get it wrong, I’m not from Yingzhou." He changed his tone and said in a serious the Ming Country dialect, "I’m a the Ming Country person… show some respect, agent of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom!"

A sudden enlightenment flashed through Feathered Bird’s mind, and he exclaimed, "You are a member of the Jin Yi Wei!"

Bai Wei was momentarily stunned, almost unable to keep a straight face. He cleared his throat and said, "Um, yes, yes, yes."
