After hearing the conditions Yu Yinchuan stated, Bucher was stunned for a while before he recovered, waving his hand at him, signaling him to calm down, and then looked at the two strong men beside him, saying, “You two watch him, everyone else come over.”
After speaking, he paced to the other side of the room, and the other Black Hand Mafia members followed closely.
Once his subordinates had formed a human wall around him, Bucher, surrounded, lowered his voice and asked, “Does anyone here have experience with a passionate romance?”
In fact, it wasn't the first time Bucher had dealt with Night Watch agents or Black Night Alliance investigators on behalf of Constantine...
But the previous ones before Yu Yinchuan, their conditions were either money that ordinary people couldn't earn in a lifetime, or some hard-to-obtain Spirit Mark completion materials... All were easy to satisfy, mostly problems that could be solved with money and bullets.
Even the most outrageous one, who wanted to spend a passionate night with a popular Hollywood actress, was not a problem; it just required a bit of effort to tie her up and bring her over.
But Yu Yinchuan was the first to ask for a romance.
A passionate, soul-stirring romance, like the urban legend of evil spirits from before the night grew long, was something most people had only heard of but never seen.
Most normal people had never seen it, let alone Bucher and the Black Hand Mafia members who probably didn't even have any romantic experience.
For them, their understanding of what sex was, was far deeper than their understanding of what romance was.
And not having seen it, not knowing what it was like, meant not knowing where to start.
After a brief silence, a middle-aged gang member said, “Boss, I have!” fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
Bucher's eyes lit up, and he gestured with his chin, “Tell me about it!”
“When I was in high school, I accidentally got my girlfriend pregnant. Her dad came to school with a double-barreled shotgun looking for me, telling me to break up with his daughter or he’d kill me. I immediately pulled out an M1911 and shot back at him... I wonder if that counts as a passionate romance?”
“I think it does!” said a round-faced gang member.
“I think so too!” a red-haired gang member echoed, “By the way, old Iverson, what happened next? What about your little girlfriend?”
“Don’t even mention it. I should have listened to her dad back then and broken up with her sooner!” the middle-aged gang member said with a bitter face, “Can you imagine the feeling of being pointed at with a double-barreled shotgun by your wife every day after coming home? It was only two years after we got married that I found out her dad’s marksmanship was taught by her.”
Everyone, “...”
Amidst the silence, Bucher came to a conclusion, “Although it sounds like it, but... should I send him to high school? He looks almost thirty. Besides, even if he went, there's no guarantee he'd find a girlfriend whose dad would come to school with a double-barreled shotgun to kill someone.”
“Boss!” the round-faced gang member said, “If all else fails, why not take him to Angel Rose? I remember they once had an advertisement slogan that said 【Giving customers a sweet experience like falling in love】. If I understand correctly, as long as we pay enough, they can give Yu Yinchuan a romance.”
“Hmm...” Bucher thought for a moment, then nodded and said, “We can only do that for now! It doesn't matter if it's not to his liking; we promised to help him fall in love, but we didn't say we'd give it to him right away.”
That’s right!
Mr. Constantine's instruction was to satisfy Yu Yinchuan's conditions and make him stop investigating. Once he goes to Angel Rose, he won't get tired of it for at least a month, and then he won't have the energy to continue investigating.
By then, who would still care if his conditions were met? Bucher thought.

Paper Cicada Immortal was not a love-struck fool who absolutely needed romance; he simply yearned to experience human emotions.
Although this yearning appearing in a urban legend was somewhat peculiar, he had indeed yearned for it since the day he gained self-awareness...
This might be related to the reason for his birth.
As a urban legend born from the contamination of Pink Fluffy Rabbit's authority, his authority was based on objects and the desire for objects, making him completely unable to comprehend the nature of human emotions.
But he was precisely a Paper Cicada Immortal created by a human, or rather, by the human individual Lu Yibei. After becoming a urban legend, he naturally developed some human instincts, such as... a desire for a relationship.
Although this relationship didn't necessarily have to be romantic love, but...
You can't expect a Paper Cicada Immortal to experience paternal or maternal love from somewhere, can you?
The difficulty of making him experience paternal or maternal love might be even greater than making a hand-held tractor understand how its manufacturer created it and what expectations they had for it.
In short, that feeling was very much like the intelligent robots in some science fiction stories, who, one day, suddenly gained emotions beyond their own programming, and on one hand, couldn't understand them, but on the other hand, involuntarily kept pursuing them.
Thus, Paper Cicada Immortal became a contradictory existence that “had no” emotions, yet “yearned” for them.
Perhaps one day, when he finds a heartbreaking true love, he will also feel the pain in his urban legend core, just like the intelligent robots in stories feel pain in their power cores...
After waiting for a moment, when Bucher returned, the increasingly anxious Paper Cicada Immortal eagerly pressed, “Is it ready? Can we go now? Can you take me to fall in love?”
“Yes, you can!” Bucher said with a dark expression, “I'll send someone to take you to Angel Rose later. There ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) are plenty of beautiful girls there, and you can have a passionate romance with anyone you want, but...”
“Kid, once you get there, you'd better be honest and stop your work immediately after you've received the benefits.”
“Of course, of course, if I can really have a romance!” Paper Cicada Immortal nodded his head like pounding garlic, then, as if suddenly remembering something, changed the subject and asked, “By the way, is it convenient to ask what kind of place Angel Rose is? It sounds a bit strange.”
“How long have you been in Free City? You don't even know this?” Old Iverson rolled his eyes.
“I...” Paper Cicada Immortal shrank his neck, looked at Bucher, and tentatively asked in a weak voice, “Should I know?”
“Of course!” Old Iverson said, “Angel Rose is the largest strip club in Free City! At least half of the most beautiful girls in the entire city are there!”
“Ah?” Hearing this, Paper Cicada Immortal's face changed, his chest heaved, and he said indignantly, “How could you do this? I asked you to take me to fall in love, and you take me to find strippers?”
“You are insulting the words 'emotion' and 'love'! Today, even if you beat me to death and throw my corpse from upstairs, I will...”
The dark muzzles of guns on both sides suddenly moved from his waist to his temples. Sensing the spiritual energy fluctuations contained in the #45 spell bullets in the magazines, Paper Cicada Immortal's words abruptly stopped.
After a few seconds of silence, he changed his tune, “Actually, it's not impossible to go and broaden my horizons. When do we leave?”
Although what I'm looking forward to is that pure emotion that cannot be bought with money, I'm currently at their mercy, so I can only be forced to go with them... That's right, just go and see, don't do anything, it's fine! Paper Cicada Immortal thought.
Bucher, “...” Are all Night Watch agents like this? Why do they feel even worse than our Black Hand Mafia members?

When Vivian rushed home from Angel Rose, she turned on the light and saw large, messy footprints all over the floor. She instantly understood that “guests” had arrived. She quickly flashed, leaned against the wall, and skillfully took out a hidden dagger from the interlayer of the shoe cabinet, holding it in her hand.
However, as she spread her spiritual sense and carefully probed the entire room, her eyes gradually filled with doubt.
“The guests seem to have left,” the strange cat, who had also probed the room with its spiritual sense, reminded her.
“I know...” Vivian looked at the empty room again and slowly lowered the dagger in her hand, “But that guy also left.”
“Looking at the situation, he must have been abducted?” The strange cat tilted its head, “I guess it must be that old man Constantine's people, right?”
They had long suspected that Constantine wouldn't easily let Yu Yinchuan off the hook after he caused the tiger whale to sink, but they didn't expect him to be subdued and taken away so quickly. As for what would happen to Yu Yinchuan after he was taken back... just thinking about it made the human and the cat shiver.
“Is it okay? Your things are still in that guy's hands!”
“If we have to snatch him from the Black Hand Mafia...” Vivian nodded, “It's indeed a bit troublesome!”
“Don't worry!” The strange cat raised its paw and patted Vivian's shoulder, “If you absolutely have to go, I'll stay by the canal and pull you out immediately. I won't let anyone touch your corpse.”
“...”
Vivian squinted at the strange cat on her shoulder, wanting to speak but holding back.
Just as she was silent, her phone in her arms suddenly vibrated. She took out her phone and answered the call, and Ni Miao's cold voice rang in her ear.
“Hey, I say, that guy you asked me to investigate before, yes, Yu Yinchuan, he appeared at Angel Rose right after you left...”
“Are you sure he was as seriously injured and unconscious as you said? He looks very energetic to me!”
“How about it, want to come and take a look?”
“Okay, I'll be there in a bit.” Vivian said expressionlessly, hung up the phone, and slowly put it down.
Seeing her like this, the strange cat couldn't help but ask, “What's going on? I think I heard Yu Yinchuan mentioned on the phone just now?”
“Hmm, that guy went to Angel Rose...” Vivian nodded, “You say, he just suffered a serious injury, just woke up, and then ran to that kind of place. How much does he like it?”
Strange cat, “...”
