"At first, he was chasing chaos and unease, then turbulence and chaos were chasing him, and he led them, wandering in the light and darkness, enjoying it." So said the shrunken detective.
Chapter 3 Miracles Didn’t Bless You
This card has already been used.
Pei Zhen no longer thought about the trouble it brought him. Its power gave him some support in this world. And till now, it still continues to have an impact on me.
"+9", "+17", "+5.6"
It seemed that if someone noticed him, they could add solution to his sphere. Moreover, Pei Zhen was a little uncertain. The characters in the plot contributed more to him than the irrelevant passers-by. They provided him with several big numbers when they first met...just by hearing about him.
Is it "existence" or "attention"? Pei Zhen didn't know. Compared with these abstract concepts, he thought about it and made a brief synthesis. Perhaps "reputation" was more real and gave him a sense of grasping it.
And that “golden achievement point”, what extraordinary thing do you have to do yourself?
For these, I have to participate in the plot? Or should I not join, stay away from it, and try to get their attention in another way? Even if the contributions of the general public are small, when their numbers increase, it will be a huge gain. Pei Zhen thought for a long time and sighed.
So annoying, is diplomacy necessary? Actively participating in the plot always gives one a feeling of scheming. In the original world, he didn't have many friends, and it is impossible for him to change easily in another world. These people are the top people in the world. Once there is something wrong with their attitude, it will definitely not escape their eyes.
He thought for a long time that night.
In the headquarters, the masked man bowed his head and said, "I have not been able to find..."
"Don't blame yourself," a tall and majestic old man walked down from the platform. His hair and beard were all white, and his long robe fluttered slightly. "We almost overlooked the fluctuation of the deviation value at that moment. The time was too short, so it's normal that we couldn't find it."
"But I found another one."
"Oh?" The old man lowered his voice, making the already oppressive place even more majestic: "Who is it?"
Several people wearing masks came forward together, carrying a man who was imprisoned in the middle. His limbs were locked with iron rings surrounded by energy, and his body was nailed to the iron plate behind him. There were multiple prison stripes around his body.
Someone came up and took off the bag on his head. The face of a thin man with long hair was revealed. He squinted his eyes at first, then felt something and stared at the old man in front of him, "You are..."
“You have the power of the slate in you,” the old man said to himself. “Strange, it seems to have left you again.”
This sentence stimulated the man, and he suddenly went crazy: "That's mine! My power! My authority! Mine!! It's all mine!!!"
He struggled with all his might, and rings of energy stripes suddenly lit up.
"Where did you find him?"
"In another city," the masked man said, "the city security system detected fluctuations, and the police also contacted us, saying that a person with dangerous abilities was committing crimes in the city and had injured dozens of people. Because he looked mentally abnormal, he was sent to the research center. Later, because of some of his words, he attracted the attention of some of our people."
"Really?" The old man said calmly, and then looked at the man. He seemed to understand something. "To gain and then lose is like light and then darkness. It's hard not to be upset. But fate is strange. The slate didn't choose you in the end. Can this really not be considered a good thing?"
"Shut up! Shut up!" the man said angrily, "Who is it? Thief! Robber! Liar! It should be me..."
The old man shook his head and told his subordinates, "Take him away."
Other than this, the person does not know the identity of the newcomer.
"No! Wait!" The man twisted desperately, like a worm on the verge of destruction: "Gold, you are gold! Help me, help me get my power back. My ability is 'interference'. I can take over anyone's body at will. As long as you help me, I will listen to you in the future. You can tell anyone to do whatever you want..."
But the old man didn't want to listen anymore and had the man taken away.
The hall returned to silence. After a long while, a faint sigh was heard.
Early morning of the second day.
"+23", "+15", "+3.4", "+2.9"
A few faint lights floated in last night, but Pei Zhen has learned not to investigate where they came from. The weather today was gloomy, and the air was filled with the damp smell left by the rain. He held an umbrella and walked through an unfamiliar street, preparing to go to his destination for today.
He has decided to try his best to obtain the energy that will enable him to live a better life, but he doesn't have to worry too much about it. The essence of life is life itself. Being anxious will not only add pressure to yourself, but also create more mistakes.
He crossed a shallow puddle and was about to go around the bend in front of him, but at this moment, he heard a very light, long and soft cry coming from the alley behind a trash can.
"Where did you find this little guy?" The young doctor in a white coat bandaged the wound of the "patient" on the stage with some pity, and looked up at the young man who was originally planning to adopt a pet from him.
"We met on the road." Pei Zhen frowned slightly.
The doctor sighed: "The external injuries are not a big deal. I have applied medicine on it, but the internal organs... it is too weak. I am afraid it will not be able to hold on."
Pei Zhen glanced at the little gray-haired guy. It was a gray short-haired cat. It was lying on a table covered with a blanket, with dull eyes.
"A healthy pet is actually recommended for new pet owners," the doctor hesitated, and then said, "In this case, besides spending more money, the results are usually... not very good."
Pei Zhen looked around. The animals in the cages were all healthy and energetic. Some of the cute ones were even secretly looking at him.
He thought for a moment, and finally said, "I want to raise a cat, or a dog. They all look good here, so I can choose either one. But, it's the only one that needs help, so I'll choose it."
The doctor laughed: "Well, you're a lucky little guy." He stroked the gray cat and sighed: "I have cut off your necrotic parts. From now on, you just need to survive this period."
Pei Zhen went back with a large bag of medicine and cat food. The doctor had done his best, and now it was up to the cat itself. He stayed in the detective agency for three days. During this time, several balls of faint light were cast. The number was not large, but it filled the sphere. However, when the night came three days later, the scene that Pei Zhen had always wanted to see still did not appear.
The gray cat, which had only eaten a few bites of food in three days, crawled up tremblingly this time. Pei Zhen did not turn on the light in the room, but it still came to him accurately. Pei Zhen felt a wet and hot feeling on his hand. It turned out that it was licking his hand. Perhaps, it also knows its own ending.
Pei Zhen remained silent. He lightly tapped the round solution ball, and a dim star fell down.
[Graystone and sundries] [Circulating banknotes]
This is a thick stack of Japanese yen coins, about 100,000 in number.
"Some people think that money can buy everything, what do you think?" someone seemed to be saying.
"It seems that the miracle didn't happen!" Pei Zhen smiled suddenly. It has not come upon you, nor upon me. Pei Zhen watched the gray cat lie back down, close its eyes, and its breathing gradually became weaker.
A hand was placed on its head, and a bright white light burst out between the two. "Forget it, I want to try it anyway." The gray cat heard someone say in a daze.
Then, in the darkness, it suddenly opened its eyes, and its bright eyes looked upwards, meeting directly with another pair of eyes.
The same aura emanates from the different pupils of two different species!
