The boss said in a strange tone, "Really?"
Asuna began to probe for information: "But why doesn't it need to sunbathe?"
The boss sat down in front of them:
"Plants, in addition to sunlight, also need darkness and yin energy."
"Modern human society does not distinguish between day and night, which disrupts the biological cycle."
Upon hearing this, Yu Hui realized that this was a direct and frank statement: "Is your 'human society' really any good?"
And if Zijra heard you say that, he would definitely be the first to slap you.
So he asked, "Does 'no distinction between day and night' mean that you work both day and night?"
The boss ignored him and continued in a profound and enigmatic tone, "The world cannot be shrouded in false light; humanity is too arrogant..."
Asuna hadn't expected the other party to be so unpretentious, so she went straight to the point and asked:
"who are you?"
"The real Ms. Ryoko Mafushi passed away in an accident two months ago."
Suddenly, the facade crumbled, and the atmosphere became incredibly tense.
"Bang!" The proprietress pulled out a gun and fired without saying a word.
A black energy wave was released towards Asuna.
Yu Hui stepped forward and blocked him, while Asuna lay down to avoid bullets while firing her own gun.
"Whoosh!" The energy bullet grazed the boss's neck, and the latter seemed to sense something was wrong, so he ran away as fast as he could.
"Don't go!" Dadi chased after him, but his fighting strength was relatively weak, and he was knocked down by the boss in an instant.
"Daichi, you're really something!" Asuna complained about Daichi's weakness, and chased after him with Yuki.
"Hahaha!" The boss laughed eerily as he ran.
That laughter sounds just like Xiaoyue, the dark fairy from "Balala the Fairies".
"Stop right there!" Asuna, even in high heels, could still run wildly behind him.
Passersby glanced at them and exclaimed, "What are you doing? And you're carrying guns!"
Asuna: "She's not human!"
Passerby: "What? How come you're not human?"
Yu Hui: "She was operating illegally, taking money but not providing services, and even assaulting customers!"
Passerby: "No wonder!"

①This is Yu Hui's subjective approval, which does not conflict with the subsequent plot. Please do not say that the author retconned the story later.
Chapter 537 Xingyun Manor
This bizarre chase ended with Asuna falling down.
To avoid her boss's "shot from behind," Asuna chose to dodge to the side, but ended up breaking her heel.
"Asuna, are you alright?!" Daichi finally caught up with them.
"If it's alright, I don't have to lie on the ground anymore!" Asuna said resentfully.
Her expression turned ferocious upon seeing her rotten shoe heels.
The three found a pavilion nearby to rest and report their situation.
Upon learning this, Vice Captain Tachibana immediately criticized, "To go to a potential enemy location wearing high heels shows a complete lack of awareness of danger."
Asuna lowered her head, looking aggrieved. "I'm sorry, I know I was wrong."
Yu Hui leaned closer to the camera: "After all, we need to pretend to be a normal couple on a date. Dressing like this can lower the other person's guard."
Vice Captain Ju thought for a moment and said, "Well, if we consider it from that perspective, it does make some sense."
No, that makes no sense at all.
Daichi and Asuna both met this "subway girl" last night. You were able to record her appearance and "open the box," so how could she not recognize you?
Captain Shenmu stepped forward: "Maintain the alert level at level two. Continue your operation and track down the woman who escaped."
Asuna nodded: "Understood."
After ending the call, Asuna rested in the pavilion, trying to repair her newly acquired treasured high heels, feeling heartbroken.
Sitting to the side, Dadi offered a scientific perspective: "You can't fix it with glue, after all, the shoe was bearing tens of kilograms of weight at that moment."
That's too much of a stereotypical straight man; even Yu Hui couldn't stand it.
Upon hearing this, Asuna nearly wanted to kill someone: "If you can't speak properly, then don't speak at all!"
The X terminal flashed: "Her weight is 47.5 kg, and her body fat percentage is 25.2%. Earth, tell her the exact numbers."
Yu Hui was stunned after hearing this. You two, the Crouching Dragon and the Phoenix Chick, are truly a match made in heaven.
Fortunately, Asuna didn't notice the noise from this side. She thanked Yuki for speaking up for her.
Yu Hui waved his hand: "Next time I'm sleeping, remember to cover for me too."
Asuna laughed: "Team member Yu Hui really likes to slack off."
Yu Hui sighed, "If only I could really be lazy..."
Dadi suggested, "You should change into a more sturdy pair of shoes."
Asuna was unmoved: "Those shoes aren't cute at all."
Beria couldn't stand it anymore:
"This is outrageous! As a soldier, you're not considering practicality when choosing your uniform, but rather appearance!"
"Would the enemy immediately surrender and stop invading the earth just because you are dressed properly?"
"If you ask me, apart from that vice-captain, all the women in XIO are vermin!"
Yu Hui hadn't expected him to think that way: "Huh?"
Beria began expressing his views in the private chat channel.
He first criticized the female researcher, Liuyi, saying that her movements and voice were very affected and that her coquettish manner disgusted him.
Yu Hui: "No, I think it's quite cute."
Beria said, "That's too deliberate!"
He then criticized Asuna, saying that although she had some fancy moves, she lacked the will of a warrior and was far inferior to Helena.
Yu Hui: "Helena? They're from different races, there's no way to compare them."
Helena is a Kirieloid from [BTD], and her race appears to be a succubus.
Although she usually dresses in pink and looks pretty, she will still flirt with Yu Hui when he comes to inspect.
But she fights without hesitation. Even after her mecha explodes, she can grow bigger and continue fighting the alien beasts, demonstrating what it means to "fight harder the more pink you wear".
Yu Hui said, "Asuna doesn't always wear high heels; there's a special reason this time."
Belial: "What's the reason?"
Then, Asuna began to recount the past:
“When I was very young, my father forced me to learn kendo. At that time, I was the best in our district.”
"In a competition, I beat the boy I had a crush on."
"He cried his eyes out, and that's how my first love ended."
Belial chimed in: "The boy she has a crush on? Didn't you say she and the Earth were a couple? How come there's a process of her falling for someone else?"
Yu Hui was speechless: "She was just a little girl back then, so what?"
Beria: "Such love is not pure. And if she can abandon her first love for the earth, she can also abandon the earth for another man later."
Yu Hui was speechless: "Your views on love have become so strange... I'll talk to you about it later."
Asuna continued:
"But it's too late to regret it... Maybe I just wasn't attractive to guys before."
"So I'm going to dress up nicely and wear really cute shoes."
Ax remarked that the women on this planet are truly complex.
Yu Hui said, "I think there's no need to cater to mainstream aesthetics; just be the best version of yourself."
Belial scoffed at Asuna's reasons.
He believes that Asuna is first and foremost an XIO member who protects humanity, then a person, and finally a woman.
It's utterly ridiculous to let your personal, tender feelings interfere with your judgment in matters of life and death.
Yu Hui understood that what he wanted was that kind of "military-style management," where each team member had to have an iron will.
Because of a single oversight, countless people could die.
It seems that only the team from "New Ultraman" is to his liking.
The monster attack teams in the Ultraman series of tokusatsu dramas are all quite "distinctive" and more fleshed out.
He did not argue with Beria on this point, and continued to seek common ground while reserving differences.
Yu Hui quietly pulled Daichi aside, took out more than a dozen 10,000 yen bills and said to Daichi, "Write down Asuna's shoe size. After this mission is over, go buy her a new pair of shoes."
Just then, the communicator rang again, and Captain Shenmu's voice came through:
“Something resembling a meteorite fell into a building called ‘Nebula Manor’ in the T7-A area.”
"Daichi and Asuna continue tracking. Yu Hui, you go there immediately and meet up with Awatari."
Upon hearing the name "Xingyun Manor," Yu Hui was immediately taken aback.
He said, "Okay, I'll go over now."
