More Dark Secret
49
Qiao Chen took a necklace and gently buckled the lock on the back of my neck. His fingertips were cold, and when they touched his skin, they caused a slight tremor. In the
mirror, the two people snuggled up to each other and looked very close. And Qiao Chen never seems to mind this kind of intimacy between brother and sister.
He was silent, and the room was enveloped in a strange silence, as if it were surrounded in all directions by some viscous liquid.
Since reporting the incident, Qiao Chen’s communication with me has fallen into a kind of stagnation. After
reporting Zhao Ye home, Qiao Chen had a brief exchange with me, expressing his shock at the incident. Without telling him
anything or consulting with him, he secretly did the investigation and reported it in front of countless people on the spot. As a brother, but is the last to know.
Of course, Qiao Chen’s shock is still the calm style of the superior.
Qiao Chen is not very angry, on the contrary, stripped of identity, may be his sister so tiger with a trace of appreciation, but more is unfathomable emotions.
As the Financial Secretary in charge, his sister and the Secretary for Commerce and a large number of top-level people in charge of the war, will undoubtedly have a certain impact on Qiao Chen’s career.
Whether you want to join the team or not, Qiao Chen and I are already standing in the same team at the moment.
At the very least, the rest of the covetous people absolutely think so. Will even guess whether everything belongs to Qiao Chen’s instructions. A tip-off is likely to be seen as a game of power.
And what I did, it seems, did not consider Qiao Chen’s position.
Because if we discuss with Qiao Chen in advance, this matter will be strangled in the cradle early. It is impossible for Qiao Chen to take risks for unnecessary things and tear up with people at the same level.
Qiao Chen closed the lock, but his hand did not leave my neck. A pair of powerful hands were placed on my neck and gently rubbed unconsciously, as if they could take my life as long as they were tightened.
But Qiao Chen should not be so abnormal, it is estimated that the heart is thinking of something.
“Sorry.” I’m still apologizing to save my life.
“Apologize for what?” Qiao Chen’s tone is calm, and he is used to hiding all the deep research in the invisible depths.
“I didn’t consider your position on the report.”
“Did you not think about it, or did you decide to do it after thinking about it?”
「…… After thinking about it, I still decided to do so. “I’m sorry,” I said, apologetically but firmly. “This has to be done, and only then will it be done.”
Speechless for two seconds, Qiao Chen suddenly smiled, like a dragonfly falling on the branches of a lotus leaf. It was time to
save people, and it is now. My sister has always been an unswerving person who will do one thing no matter how many tricks she uses. I should have expected that, shouldn’t I?
He has so much psychological construction, but he makes me confused. When did
Qiao Chen become so easy to talk to? Did he really recognize the sister, or was it not really related to him and would not threaten his position?
In any case, even in a passive position, Qiao Chen has enough strength to reverse everything. Game of Thrones. He’s the top player.
Qiao Chen left my neck and leaned behind me with his hands on my shoulders, looking very satisfied with his sister who had dressed up in the mirror.
It’s perfect. Let them have a good look tonight.
Now that the war has begun, we should take off our camouflage and meet everything with a pure fighting attitude.
Qiao Chen didn’t say anything, but he seemed to have said everything.
My breath stagnated, then I nodded gently and firmly.
“Si Si.” When he turned to leave, Qiao Chen suddenly stopped me. His voice was distant, and there was something complex in it.
“If you want to do something anyway, even I won’t let you stop it, you can let me help you next time.”
You can ask for my help, you can be less distant from me, you can show your vulnerability. The desires
between people may not be accurately conveyed to each other even if they use countless images of words.
At this moment, I probably felt the tip of the iceberg, but it was enough to touch people. Although it is faint, it is still bright.
After all, this is the first time I have felt the feeling of family affection in such a long time in the other world. It seems that in this world, there is another person who has thrown an olive branch to you.
Qiao Chen had a job to deal with and didn’t attend. Qi Shi and I went to the chief’s mansion.
Unlike the magnificence of Zhao Ye’s family, the chief mansion looks much more low-key, but it reveals delicacy and mystery everywhere, and the security level is also the highest.
Light singing and dancing, beautiful men and women, but really fit the invitation to write, do not talk about work only do rest.
This is a masquerade ball, and everyone wears masks of different styles, with retro elegance and trendy publicity. Faces of different colors behind the
mask. The usual serious or contemptuous face is now hidden under the mask, probably a little more sense of security and indulgence.
When someone sees me, he will nod his head as a greeting. Some do, some don’t. I’m afraid it’s because of the report of Zhao Ye, which is already famous. Qi Shi and
I avoided the hustle and bustle and walked to the exhibition area of the chief’s house. It is said that there is an artificial ocean in the chief’s home, which has a water area as high as two floors, in which there are all kinds of ornamental fish. It
sounds like an eye-opener. Qi Shi and I walked for a while and saw a place that said “blue.”.
Gently pushed the door and entered, then stunned.
Occupying two stories of high-strength glass rises from the ground, behind which is a mysterious blue, which envelops the whole room in a melancholy blue. Schools of
fish swam through the blue water, swaying with the waves, casting a swaying shadow throughout the room. It
is similar to the corner of the exhibition hall in the modern aquarium. Qi Shi and
I looked at each other and saw surprise in each other’s eyes.
“Qishi, does it look like the sea you want to go to?” I looked at Qi Shi with shining eyes.
After all, Qi Shi hasn’t seen the sea yet. It’s not the real sea, but it’s part of the illusion. In
the original book, this area is surrounded by mountains and deserts, and there is no ocean that can be reached quickly.
“When did I say I wanted to go to the sea?” Don’t
you want the freedom to choose? I don’t think so, but I think you’ll like it, right? My eyes continued to sparkle, and the dog hook turned out to be me.
Qi Shi stared at me, with a faint smile at the corners of his mouth, shadowy in the blue light, which made people’s hearts skip a beat.
“You’re smart.” Qi Shi did not forget his venomous tongue, but I knew what he wanted to say.
We stood in front of the blue and felt a moment of relaxation.
Until I found a small shadow hidden in the corner.
The little figure stood out, with a delicate suit, well-groomed hair, and even a small mask.
It was a golden mask, shining with metallic sparkle, decorated with carvings of flower petals and snakes.
It was a boy no more than eleven or twelve years old, whose figure and face were very similar to those of a child named Lucy seen at a banquet before. I remember it very well because the boy had a face like an angel.
“Lucy?” I tried to shout.
The boy took a few steps closer, stopped a few meters in front of me, raised his head slightly, and stared at me without blinking.
“Why are you here? Whose child are you?” I asked kindly.
Lucy stared at me for a few seconds, then said in a clear voice, “I live here.”
Living here, the chief family’s children? But I didn’t see the first lady or something.
“Does it look good, sister?”
“Well, it’s beautiful. It’s like being in the ocean.”
“Blue, as far as the eye can see, surrounded by countless soft liquids, it feels wonderful.” I couldn’t help laughing when I
heard such poetic words spoken by a half-grown child like Lucy in a clear voice. “That’s a beautiful description. Is Lucy a poet?”
The more beautiful things are, the more dangerous they are. Sister, do you understand that?
Lucie suddenly changed the subject and said strange words, but the tone was still innocent and childlike, as if he was talking about what kind of ice cream he liked.
Qi Shi quietly took a step closer to me.
“Is there anything you want to say, Lucy?”
“My sister is so beautiful and smart. I like her very much. I hope I can see her all the time.” After
saying a word that could not be hit by eight poles, Lu Xi retreated a step and ran away briskly, which could not be stopped by the wind in his calf. The child is really a little mysterious. Ask the others later. After
Lu Xi left, Qi Shi and I also withdrew from the Blue Exhibition Hall and strolled in other places. Qi Shi said he wanted to go to the bathroom, so I waited for him at the door of the nearest bathroom. Are you
sure you don’t want to come in? In case of danger? Qi Shi raised his eyebrows.
Don’t try to trick me into going to the men’s room, okay? This is the chief’s house. What kind of danger could there be? Finally, I told him that if there was danger, I would scream immediately, and Qi Shi went to the bathroom.
Hello, you are Joss, right? I’m Li Min from the Department of Public Services. We’ve met before. Do you still remember? Suddenly a woman stopped me. It is
true that there is such a person who has worked together in the improvement project of Area C, and he is quite familiar.
“Hello, long time no see.”
She took off her mask and looked a little anxious. “I have something urgent at home and I have to go home right away, but the chief has told me that this document needs to be handed over to him immediately. Can you help me pass it on?”? The chief’s study is the room at the end of the front, turning left and right.
“Please.” She had a sincere manner, and she was also an acquaintance who had worked together, and finally I agreed. Turn
left, turn right, and then the room at the end.
The corridor is quiet and seems to be isolated from the world. You can’t make a sound when you step on the thick wool carpet. When I
was about to reach the door of the room at the end of the corridor, I heard some strange noise.
Some suppressed sobs and gasps came low from the room at the end. Because it was so quiet and I was so close, I could hear it.
I approached slowly and found that the door of the room was not closed tightly, and there was a gap about a finger wide. It was dark inside, and there was no light.
And the sound came from the room.
I crept closer and looked inside.
“Ah!” The voice suddenly sharpened, and then there were more low sobs, which made people blush and heartbeat. But the voice sounds very clear and does not seem to belong to an adult man or woman. I had goose bumps
when I realized what might be happening. The sense of crisis that
human evolution has so far hidden in its bones tells me to run away, run away at once.
But in a flash, before I could take my eyes back, I saw a flash. A golden flash, a familiar and dazzling flash.
I immediately withdrew my head, my face pale and my heart beating wildly. The footsteps slowly exited the corridor as quietly as possible, and then ran to the original position without looking back.
Shocked, incredible, but most of all, I’m not dreaming, am I?
Although I didn’t see the scene, my intuition told me what happened. The sobbing object in the room was probably Lucy.
And there is another person in the room, this is the chief of the study, a little contact can imagine what happened.
It was something more viscous and malodorous than darkness, something no different from a cruel game. It happened in this mansion, the home of the highest symbol. I ran to the place where my feet
were blowing until I saw the figure of Qi Shi.
“Where have you been?” Qi Shiying came up lazily to complain, the voice did not fall to find my face is not right, immediately put away the lazy look.
“What happened to your face? What happened?”
I covered my mouth and endured the discomfort of my chest. Before I could talk to Qi, I rushed to the women’s bathroom, pushed open a cubicle door, took off my mask and vomited wildly into the toilet. I didn’t eat much
tonight, and after spitting out the fruit I had just eaten at the banquet, I was left with sour stomach juice. The taste of gastric juice enters the mouth, which aggravates the degree of vomiting. From the
chief’s office came the sobs of the boy, the objects with golden light. Everything points to a very cruel possibility, which makes people want to vomit.
Lucie, probably reduced to the chief plaything.
At this moment, I was even a little confused, unable to tell whether the true face of the chief was so dirty that the impact was greater, or whether the impact of such a small boy forced to become the plaything of the powerful was greater.
These two facts are so intertwined that they make people feel sick and painful that it’s like falling into an ice cave. As
he vomited, there was endless sadness, and he began to sob slightly. A boy
only eleven or twelve years old, with a face as delicate as an angel. It should be bright and unrestrained in the sunshine, but it is too early to be cast a shadow by the darkness, and is brought into the dark abyss by the devil’s claws.
Such a little one, walking alone through the magnificent top-floor palace, smiling innocently and calling her sister when she sees you, then running and disappearing into the huge building.
Poetry-like beautiful and sad strange words, the smile on the innocent face that fades at any time, the stagnant waves that burst out of the eyes when they don’t smile, or loneliness.. Everything in Lucie was a faint hint of the darkness he had experienced.
Finally, one day, let people see that side. Being bullied out
of sight and crying in a low voice.
Qi Shi had quietly entered the cubicle, closed the door of the cubicle and watched me vomit. He bent down, seemingly unsure of what to do, and finally patted me gently on the back.
The movements seem a little clumsy and cautious. Although Qi Shi usually makes witty remarks and venomous complaints, he still seems to be caught off guard when he sees me crying.
I did not coy, directly turned his head in the arms of Qi Shi. It belongs to Qi Shi’s broad and warm embrace.
Qi Shi was stunned for half a second, and then gently hugged me back.
Probably also cried less than a minute, I quickly realized that I and Qi Shi’s situation at the moment, very dangerous! If even the chief is such a black-hearted dignitary, is there any place for us at the top?
First, the demon game of Zhao Ye and others was exposed by me in front of the assembly, and then it was quickly demoted after review, and the relevant personnel were also punished. But that’s just it.
At this time, at the banquet invited by the chief, I was guided to the chief’s office without lights, heard the sound that should not be heard, and saw the things that should not be seen. Is
all this really just a coincidence, or has it been carefully planned? Having been
in the A-zone for so long, reason tells me it’s more likely to be the latter. Someone wanted me to see this, to warn me not to be too proud. Even the chief has his own dark secrets. Can we expect such an A-zone to give people justice.
Area has rotted from its roots, and the symbols of power have been reduced to the shelter of darkness. If you think about it more
carefully, is the review and disposal results announced by the chief official a business or a face-saving effort? And this may involve a new possibility, whether the chief is also involved in the game of Zhao Ye and others?
No, Qi Shi and I are in a very dangerous situation now. There is no time to stop crying. We must leave here at once. Holding back my tears,
I quickly calmed down and whispered, “It’s too late to explain. It’s dangerous now. We must go at once.”
Qi Shi looked at the chest before I dawdled, snot and tears all rubbed up the clothes, frowned and did not speak after all.
Like before, when things happen suddenly, you will still choose to believe me. He led me around warily and then left the bathroom.
Walking outside the door, I bumped into a masked female celebrity who was about to come in. With a slight exclamation, her eyes widened under her mask and she stared at us, as if she wanted to scream but did not know whether to scream or not. Qi Shi and
I glanced at her fiercely and made a click gesture in unison. The woman was so frightened that she stepped back until she hit the wall.
At this moment, Qi Shi and I walked out of the pace of meeting God and killing God. To be precise, it’s a rush to save your life.
Walking to the lobby, the communicator suddenly vibrated. I turned on the communicator and found that I had received a message from an unknown contact:
Player 7, welcome to the “Desperate Girl” Gold Edition series. Good luck! My
heart missed a beat and I knew something was wrong.
Is this a game restart? Sounds like an upgrade?
Zhao Ye’s group of clients are annoyed. Do you want to have a big game to kill me?
But the timing of the news was so clever that it happened that the chief’s secret was discovered at the chief’s banquet, and then the news was received. When
I looked at Qi uneasily, he was immediately shocked when he saw the news, and the whole person quickly sent out the momentum of attack. The music on the
dance floor becomes intense and lively, accompanied by the psychedelic rhythm of electronic music, and the light also turns into red, blue and purple. Men and women in masks embrace each other closely, immersed in indulgence, and make unscrupulous frolic sounds. On the edge of the
dance floor, there is the sound of wine glasses colliding. The high-ranking people looked calm and enjoyed the pleasure in front of them in an elegant and contemptuous manner. It seemed that no one noticed that Qi Shi and I were about to walk to the door.
But the accident happened suddenly. Suddenly there was a clear shot on the dance floor in front of the
left, followed by a scream, and the crowd turned their heads and fled in the direction of the gate.
The psychedelic electronica continued, but the scene became chaotic.
Through the panic and noise of the crowd, a masked man in black could be seen standing in place, while a woman in a royal blue dress was lying on the ground beside him.
For some reason, the man seemed to be able to look straight at me, giving me a strange sixth sense: he was looking at me.
They’re looking at me.
I shudder all over. It’s not exactly a physical tremor, but a mental tremor.
In fact, it was only a moment, but in that moment, I realized the feeling that “when you focus on the abyss, the abyss is also staring at you.”. The
thought passed away in a moment, and was soon interrupted by Qi Shi’s movements. He pulled me up and galloped out defensively.
At the same time, intensive security personnel began to outflank from several entrances, and the action was completely orderly. After the panic-looking
guests settled down in another assembly hall, the shooter was brought under control by security personnel. We are trapped here, because the incident happened suddenly and in the chief residence, the idea of security is not to let go of any suspicious person. A
good rally almost turned into a killing.
Only at this time, those elegant and calm faces will be covered by panic, because of the sense of crisis born of survival. There is only the fear of death that is common to all human beings without the high position of the past.
“The house is sealed. Shall we leave now?” Qi Shi frowned, his eyes were still clear and bright. It’s like saying that you can take me out of the tight encirclement whenever you need it.
Taking advantage of the chaos, I whispered close to Qi’s ear: I found a dangerous secret in the house, and then I received a text message about the game restart, and then the inexplicable shooting. All this is so coincidental that it should not be accidental. We are in danger.
Especially me. It seems that the game consignor is not going to let me go. Anyone who stands in the way of my planned destruction will be obliterated. Qi Shi also felt
this meaning. He glanced around calmly. “Then let’s finish them off with a backhand.”
The tone was calm, but the gloomy temperament of the demon God increased sharply. The people who were a little closer felt the pressure intuitively and spread out slightly.
The crowd gradually relaxed under an impenetrable guard.
Someone began to chat, trying to relieve the uneasiness of seeing death with his own eyes. Those who have not yet seen death are more indifferent and curious, and the events just now are like a farce of hearsay to them.
After waiting for about two hours, the head of security came to announce that the case had been solved, that the identity and motive of the shooter would be officially announced at a later date, and that everyone could go home today.
However, the security personnel still came in and took away a man and his bodyguard. I have a vague impression of that man. If I remember correctly, he is a relative of Li Min, that is, the subsidiary source of Li Min’s interests.
I shut myself and Qi Shi in the huge bedroom, and they sat at the foot of the bed and looked at each other. The
doors and windows were closed, and the balcony and other entrances were surrounded by bodyguards to prevent people from breaking in. The day after
the evacuation, the Military Affairs Department announced the results of the investigation. Those who sneaked into the banquet to shoot were the henchmen of Li Min’s forces, who had an interest dispute with the other forces and were ordered by their superiors to shoot the other party.
Li Min and others were involved in the dispute and were announced to be thoroughly investigated and sentenced to at least five years in prison.
Obviously, the game has begun. The so-called “Girl’s Game” Gold Edition series.
First of all, no one will be foolish enough to shoot others, deliberately chosen in the chief banquet such a tight security occasion; secondly, Li Min’s power side is very weak. Simply put, there was no one to cover it, and it was probably used as a gun. Contact Li Min
again to give me the suspicious document, and the answer is ready to come out.
This is the first step of the game. Tell me this player number seven, they can do anything. A coincidence that lets you see the secret
can be placed in the house at the top of the power, an absurd murder can be created, and the insider of the coincidence can be dealt with in a legal way. They can deal with anyone at any time,
not only by shady means, but also by all kinds of legal routines.
So, is this the real meaning of the upgrade.
「…… Using power against power? Qi Shi thought for a moment and then sneered, “This is like what the so-called top floor of Area can do. It’s exactly the same as arresting us before.”
“Well, power against power, what can we do now?”? It’s not long since I entered the top power system in Area a, and now it seems that my brother may also be involved.
Qi Shi turned to look at me in silence, and his face was darker than when he learned of our situation. When did
this woman call her brother so naturally and intimately? Woman.)
But my mind is on that plus version of the game. It is estimated that according to the degree of their black heart should not be limited to the open way, it is estimated that they will stop at nothing to end me as a prick.
So it’s the right thing to guard the house first. Recently, when you go out, you have to guard against whether there are killers or disguised thugs lurking nearby.
And now the most ominous point is that the chief probability is also involved. Unless Zhao Ye and others are really powerful, or the chief also belongs to their camp, or is pinched. Doesn’t
that mean that the whole “a” section is going to *** me. I can’t laugh, emmm. “
Little E”, based on all the information of the game and the behavioral characteristics of the relevant personnel, simulates and calculates the survival probability of participating in the upgraded version of the game. This query should not be reported to the online database if the query cannot be terminated.
“Private mode enabled, querying..” Fortunately, it seems that the authority of the top floor is still there.
Eva’s computing power is approaching that of artificial intelligence, and I use the information of the top power level participating in the game as a new input so that Eva can make a complete calculation.
“Predicted probability of complete survival: 9.2%; predicted probability of incomplete survival: 37%.”
“What is complete survival and incomplete survival?” When I heard the three words “incomplete”, I got goose bumps.
The communicator continued with Eva’s emotional female mechanical voice: “Integrity refers to the absence of any physical or mental problems; the opposite is true of incompleteness.”
Boy, does that mean probability of either death or injury?
“Calculate the possible paths to complete survival.”
“The first way of survival is the large-scale transfer or change of power structure in Area A.”
“The second way to survive is to escape into the no-man’s land, where there is a certain chance of survival.” There are many
variables, and the prediction accuracy is 60%. Are there similar historical facts that need to be examined in detail? Eva was quick to make a prediction.
“Organize the documents and send me a copy.” Life is not easy, Sisi sighs.
Qi Shi grabbed my communicator and looked up and down. “Are you sure this thing works?”? It’s good to listen to the predictions it makes, but it’s not as good as making up empty words.
…… I really wish Xiaobai would be there to see him fight with Qi Shi and “flirt” unilaterally. At least I would be in a better mood. (Dog head)
thought over and over again, or went to find Qiao Chen. After all, he had said before that he could ask him for help, and this time it was not only a matter of life and death, but probably also a matter of Qiao Chen’s future. Before
I could open my mouth, Chiao Chen was the first to ask, “Sisi, are you in danger?”
“Ah, you know all about it?” I was a little confused by the question.
Qiao Chen smiled faintly at the corners of his mouth. “If it’s all right, you won’t look for me easily, will you?”? Do I know my sister fairly well?
I also did a lot of psychological construction before I was ready to speak. He did not explain the secret of the chief, but told him that he felt that the top level of power was also involved in the game, and probably stood in the enemy camp.
Qiao Chen’s eyes quickly became sharp, and he immediately grasped the point: “You mean chief?”? Is there any definite evidence?
Yes, but I can’t say. If I tell you, you will be taken as a target immediately.
This is the news I received, and the banquet shooting incident should be the first warning. They will stop at nothing, and you may even be involved.
Qiao Chen saw the news with deep eyes. It seems that this time is really in imminent danger, even the smiling tiger, who has always been calm and smiling, will have such a dignified time.
He thought for a moment and finally told me not to worry and not to go out these days. He will increase the number of security personnel to protect me, and he will negotiate to deal with the fact that the game consignor group once again regards me as a target.
Lying in the shade of the tree to rest, the tiger stretched himself and began to meet the enemy seriously.
Brother, this may not only be a game of thrones, but also a matter of life and death. Be prepared to fight, just in case. I added a few words to remind him to be ready.
Qiao Chen is noncommittal, and his tone is light and meaningful: “Si Si, all games can be games of power.”
I did not answer, just out of the room was pulled by Qi Shi ran back to the room, directly against the wall.
“Hey, Josh, you’re not really going to believe that guy, are you?” Chi Shih has never had a good look at his “brother-in-law.”.
“What are you trying to say?” “He is not a kind person,” said
Qi Shi, with his usual and long-lost sharp tongue. Just like all the people in power in Area a, they always put their own interests first, and everything else can be discarded according to the situation.
Or, to be more precise, it is a matter of faith. For those in power in Area a, power is life, as it always has been. Do
you understand? Still, you’re not really immersed in the role of Qiao Chen’s sister, are you? “Pure advice,”
he added in a low voice, “but it doesn’t carry any personal stance.”
(Position? What personal position?)
I was silent. Qi Shi is hinting that when it comes to power choices, will Qiao Chen abandon me at any time?
In fact, I do not know enough about Qiao Chen, from my point of view, so far Qiao Chen is an existence that can not be fully seen through. But in the face of the survival of blood relatives, will Qiao Chen still abide by the beliefs of those in power in Area A?
A few days later, Qiao Chen said that things had taken shape, and I was going to attend a reconciliation meeting. In the dining room of the
premier mansion, long, mirror-smooth tables are filled with delicacies and wines, and fires flicker in retro candlesticks.
Zhao Ye, Zhao Yan and others sat freely on both sides of the long table, and behind Zhao Yan stood the man with sunglasses as usual. The narrow sides of the long table were empty.
Judging from the position of the plate, this side should be reserved for me and the other side for the host. The
respectful footman pulled out his seat and poured half a glass of wine steadily into the goblet.
I sat down, and Qi Shi stood quietly behind me on the left.
No one spoke, Zhao Ye looked at me with different expressions, smiling and expressionless. But it was the kind of look that had a plan in mind, as if they had reached a tacit understanding about something I didn’t know and they knew.
After a while, a happy and childish voice sounded in the hall: “Sister is coming. Welcome sister.”
At the same time, a small figure gracefully crossed the side of the long table and sat in the vacant seat next to Zhao Ye. “Uncle can’t come because of something. Let’s get started.”
It was Lucy, as always, dressed in aristocratic style, with a delicate face without any expression, and two eyes like beautiful and cold glass balls.
It seems that because of the arrival of Lucy, the atmosphere has become slightly lively. The inopportune sounding of the symphony coated the hall with an air of hypocrisy.
“Miss Chiao, I don’t think I need to explain the details any more.” Chao Yeh raised his glass to make a gesture to propose a toast to me. “Inviting you here today is mainly a matter of your choice.”
“Miss Chiao has been giving us a lot of trouble these days.” The other person has a strange airway.
“Really, it’s just an entertainment item, but Miss Chiao has made it look like a thing, which really makes us a little upset.” The mouth said distress, but the tone of half distress is not felt, probably Zhao Ye think the initiative is on their side. It’s amazing
to be able to do this. Miss Chiao came from District B, which is really admirable. Behind Zhao Yan, the man with sunglasses repaired the knife.
“After all, there is blood flowing from Area A.” Zhao Yan said a seemingly appreciative comment.
Listening to these people singing and singing, my face was expressionless, just staring at the road west. Why is Lucie here? The others didn’t seem surprised. Lucie, on the other hand, sat quietly, his eyes seemingly unfocused.
“What do you mean by choice?” “As you can see, we don’t have much fun in our lives,”
Chao Yeh said with a smile. “I’m afraid we can’t cancel this entertainment project.” It’s not impossible to
change the way, but Miss Chiao has already interfered with the dignity of Area A. We certainly can’t give it back.
“So Miss Chiao has two choices. The first choice is to be Miss Chiao quietly, so naturally she will be very safe and enjoy the treatment she deserves.”
“What’s the other option?” It was so winding that people wanted to go up and bang bang with two punches.
Zhao Ye is still smiling, but his slender eyes are as cunning and cold as a poisonous snake: If Miss Qiao can’t be quiet, then the gold edition will continue to start. As for how far she can go, Miss Jo is a smart person, so I don’t need to remind her any more.
This is already the result of Director Chiao’s intervention. Miss Chiao should not let down her brother’s good intentions. After all, only when you have a noble status can you get the chance to choose.
And does Miss Jo understand? Because it’s also bleeding from Zone A. Miss Jo, you’re one of us, aren’t you?
The others stared at me playfully, ready to see how I would answer. Zhao Ye used both the carrot and the stick, and it seemed that he did not choose the first one, that is, his brain was bubbling and he took the initiative to hit the muzzle of the gun.
He continued to step up his efforts. In fact, Miss Chiao would not have been selected. The rights and interests of all citizens in Area will be well protected. Miss Jo needn’t mind. You
don’t pick people from Area a, so you take it for granted, or even think it’s noble? I remember that the law protects not only the rights of citizens in Area a, but also the rights of citizens in all areas.
Zhao Ye looked at me with venomous eyes and did not speak.
Someone laughed, as if I had just told a joke. Miss
Jo doesn’t have to go to the top of the line. It’s just a harmless entertainment for you. Just get used to it, just like Lucie, who has made many interesting suggestions for our entertainment.
Lucy did not retort, a beautiful face can not see any sadness or joy.
“Lu Hsi was not a District a before, but only when he was recognized did he get his identity back.” Zhao Ye explained. Miss
Jo had a choice, partly because of Lucy. Lucy likes Miss Jo very much. If you would like to join us, that would be great.
“Yes, I like my sister very much. I wish I had a sister to play with.” Lucy smiled innocently and her voice was sweet.
If you don’t know what he’s been through, I’m afraid you’ll really think he’s just a simple and lovely child. But after knowing it, I’m a little confused now.
Lucie would appear on such an occasion as if she had their trust, or if they didn’t care about a child at all.
In short, the words of this group of people can not be fully believed, they are half-concealed, and have gone through a tortuous process.
According to the available information, Lucy should also be a child from Area B or Area C. She may be selected because of her talent and appearance, and after coming here, she has become one of the game planners, and even gives advice.
Wait, give advice? That is to say, some of those shocking facts may be the result of Lucie’s proposal?
For a moment, the amount of information was too large, and I looked at Lu Xi with a complicated expression.
“Sister, don’t look at me in such a shocked and strange way. My heart will hurt.” Lucy smiled and said that he might feel heartache. But I don’t feel heartache at all, but my heart is dead.
It’s like a porcelain that is beautiful on the outside, but broken on the inside. I don’t know why, but I always thought I heard Lucy’s cry for help. A faint and distant cry from the
dark abyss.
“And what do you think, Miss Jo?” Chao Yeh pulls back to the topic. “The pros and cons of each choice have been explained very clearly. Next, it’s up to you to choose.”
I’ll think about it again. Why, you don’t need to be in such a hurry to give an answer on the spot, do you?
“Oh, of course not. Miss Jo can think about it.” Chao Ye shrugs his shoulders, raises his knife and fork, and begins to cut the meat on his plate with graceful dexterity. “Would you like to stay and finish your meal?”
I glanced at the bloodshot, half-cooked meat on the plate and refused. Others
also raised knives and forks or clinked glasses with each other. The dinner table began to be lively, just like an ordinary dinner. It’s all the same with or without me, just a strange visitor who suddenly breaks in and leaves.
Ha ha, Laoshizi chose, they didn’t give people a choice at all. Either join or fall prey. To put it bluntly, this sentence is enough.
I got up and left. Zhao Yebian cut the meat and gave me a deep look.
Strangely enough, there was no waiter to lead the way. The chief’s home is like a huge maze, which soon makes people lose their way. And Qi Shi, led by me, soon stumbled.
Qi Shi, you should have a photographic memory and be very good at discerning directions, right? Didn’t you have to have a good grasp of your surroundings to be absolutely safe in your previous job? I joked.
“You’ll have to check it out in advance. I’ve only been to this place once.”
He looked around, frowning slightly. “We just entered the restaurant through another door, and when we came out, we were asked to change doors.”
Indeed, why did we change the door. Before I could think about it, a small figure suddenly flashed in front of me.
“Is my sister lost?” Lucie held her head high and looked straight at me with her beautiful eyes. Embarrassed,
I smiled, “Yes, it’s a little big here …” Do you know how to get to the gate?
“Well, turn left at the end of this corridor, then turn right and go on. When you get to the second fork in the road, turn left. Go down the stairs and you’ll see the gate.”
“Not far from the fork in the road is the blue top entrance, which is very conspicuous. You’ll notice it right away.”
Lucy was one meter away from me, with her hands behind her back, and answered quickly. With a slightly proud smile on his face, he seemed to be answering a temporary test of math problems for his parents.
He looks so innocent that he is a child. But he kept his distance quietly.
“Thank you.” After thanking me, I was ready to leave with Qi Shi.
In the past, I would have rubbed his hairy head or pinched his meaty little face. But today, nothing can be done.
“Lucie,” I said, unable to restrain myself, “perhaps, would you like to come with us?” It was
just an impulse, but after blurting out, it quickly turned into a dazzling meteor in the sky, out of control.
Qi Shi looked at me quietly, then looked at Lucie indifferently, and did not express his opinion.
Lucie seemed stunned and stared at me without blinking, as if she were looking at some amazing and incredible sight.
If Lucie had come with us, we might have ended up on the run together, or we might have had to send Lucie back. It may not be a good choice to take Lucie away in
this situation, but at least he can get out of the quagmire. Even if it is a temporary freedom, or even a greater risk, it has at least fought for it. Come
with us. You don’t want to stay here either, do you?
“Go, go where?” There was a touch of inexplicable drift in the childish voice, which seemed to be a huge black fog that could not be distinguished after countless emotions were wrapped together.
The world is under the control of Area A. Where can it go? On the run, section C? Desert?
“Do you want to be like your sister, who used to work 12 hours a day, eat rock-hard steamed bun, and share a disgusting bathroom with a lot of people?” As he spoke, his tone began to sharpen, as if he were talking to me, as if he were talking to himself.
Isn’t that stupid? What is there to be dissatisfied with now here, living in such a place and living such a life?
……？ Lucy said a lot, and I was dumbfounded. “Oh, the people in Area have succeeded in brainwashing,” said
Chi Shih with a smile on his lips.
“Do you know what you’re talking about?”
I approached Lucie with a frown, pulled his shoulder so that he could look me in the eye, and said solemnly, “Lucie, you can’t do that.” This idea must be corrected
at a young age.
I said softly, “You’re too young to understand what all this means, but I know you must be very sad, aren’t you?”
Lucy turned her head away and said in a cold voice, “My sister thinks she’s right.”
“I can’t go back to that kind of life, ever.” After a
few seconds, I slowly withdrew my hand. The words have come to this point, also can not say anything.
“Well, if you change your mind, you can contact me.”
Although it was Lucie’s own choice, and listening to him face to face about the reasons for his refusal, he still felt very complicated. In a way, it’s hard to believe that this is from his heart. When he was
ready to turn around and leave, Lucy suddenly rushed over and hugged me.
It was really a hug, a small body just up to my ribs, two arms around my waist.
Sister, don’t go, okay? I like you very much. Stay and play with me.
“Don’t worry about games, don’t worry about other people. We’ll have fun together.”
Qi Shi frowned, ready to pull him away. “Little kid, you want to go, but you don’t go, and now you stick it up again.”
But Lucy hugged me so tightly that she buried her head in me and refused to do anything.
“Hey, if you don’t let go, I’m going to hit the kid.” Qi Shi issued a threat that had no deterrent effect on Lu Xi. I handed him an eye knife.
I paused for a moment, grabbed Lucie’s arms, and slowly moved them away from me. During
this period, Lu Xi raised his head, his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, and then the desire disappeared little by little as his arm slid down. Neither of us spoke, but he knew what I wanted to say.
Lu Xi did not insist and stayed quietly after being pulled away.
He suddenly laughed, and his voice was light and bright, and he became the young man who did not know anything about the world. “That’s really a pity.”
Anyway, sister, think about it. I’ll wait for you here. But don’t keep people waiting too long. They don’t have much patience. Turn
left, turn right again. Strangely, there was no one in the huge
corridor. Qi Shi and I stepped on the smooth marble floor and made a clattering sound. Why
do you think Lucie refused? He always felt that that was not what he really thought.
“I’ve had a lot of hard times, and I don’t want to go back, or I’m afraid of being retaliated.”
Qi Shiyou said, with a self-deprecating smile, “Do you remember what I told you before?”? Pick a hundred people at random on Street C, and most of them will eat shit to survive.
…… Here comes emmm, a long-lost shit eater.
You changed my mind. Maybe there really are people who would rather starve than die, or decide to do something to fight the situation. But there will still be people who will sacrifice something for a better life.
Like freedom and dignity.
I burst out laughing. The world before crossing over seems to be the same, the world is too complex, people are all kinds. The
corridor fell into silence, Qi Shi about is to see my loss, suddenly pulled me, seriously staring into my eyes.
There is a kind of illusion that the God on the mural comes to you and stares at you seriously. Or in the deep forest, suddenly come out of the unknown huge beast, holding your breath in front of you.
But you are different, and you will change all that. And I will be on your side.
I was suddenly a little shocked. The degree of shock may be no less than Qi Shi’s confession to me?
“Thanks, buddy.” I smiled to ease the atmosphere.
Qi Shi was speechless and frowned. “What good brother? I don’t want to be your good brother.” Then with a cold hum, he walked faster.
I was stunned for half a second and ran after him with a smile. I have to say that my home is really big, and I haven’t reached the stairs yet. Just then
, the communicator in my pocket vibrated and said, “
Miss Joss, we have prepared an appetizer for you to make an informed decision.”.
The countdown is one minute and the duration is five minutes.
Kill target: Qi Shi.
. Focus on not getting lost ~
