Chapter 72 Good Morning

The lights in the room were not on, and the dim light from the computer shone on Shen Yan's face.

Shen Yan does not have a gentle appearance, and his facial lines are cold and hard, but he smiles often and is very friendly to everyone, so the fierceness brought by his facial features is weakened.

Now he has no expression, his dark brows are pressed down, but that fierce look comes out again, and he looks very difficult to mess with.

The little man wearing a metal feather necklace on the computer screen finally defeated the boss. After the boss died, a small treasure chest dropped. The treasure chest jumped to the character and opened, revealing a note inside.

[Dear warrior, would you like to continue playing the game happily with me? ]

[yes/no]

Shen Yan saved the file and clicked no.

The screen went black and the note reappeared.

[Dear warrior, would you like to continue playing the game happily with me? ]

[yes/yes]

Shen Yan: …

Shen Yan sneered and tried to exit the game, but when the cursor moved to the exit key, the protagonist he controlled suddenly appeared and blocked the "exit" button.

The protagonist is a little pixelated man who slowly grows bigger until his entire face takes up the entire screen.

The black eyes stared at him.

The following dialog box appears again.

[Brother, do you want to continue playing the fun game with me? ]

[yes/yes/yes/yes/yes]

Yes fills the entire screen, and all states are selectable.

Ana Shen let go of the mouse, knocked a cigarette out of the cigarette box, lit it, and took a deep puff.

The smoke is thick.

Ana Shen relaxed his body, leaned back in his chair, finished smoking the cigarette, and put it out in the ashtray.

He unplugged the power cord.

The only source of light in the room was gone, and the curtains were drawn, making it pitch dark.

Ana Shen stared at the darkness, frowning, and really couldn’t figure it out.

He has already come to Red Star, why is Ruan Zhixian still lingering around?

It shouldn't be.

To be safe, before the spaceship left Black Star, Shen Yan told them that he would disappear for a while, and asked them to act according to the plan during this period. He would contact them after they were arrested and put in prison to tell them what to do next.

There is actually no next step.

In other words, the chain reaction that followed did not include him, the "dead man".

He mailed the box containing fake ashes to Ivy, with a letter attached, saying that he knew too much and was silenced by Qi Cong from District 1, and hoped that they could continue to subvert the world.

Shen Yan asked her to convey this news after Ruan Zhixian and the others escaped from prison.

Qi Cong was the only person who knew that he was going to Red Star. Ana Shen didn’t think he could keep the news secret, so he could only take some post-supplementary measures.

A sudden death would arouse suspicion, especially when Shen Yan solemnly described the beautiful future they wanted.

Generally there are two situations.

First, they knew he had run away, and then they got the urn. The original anger directed at him was dispersed, and the spearhead turned to Area 1.

The second is to take the urn first and then know that he ran away. In this way, Qi Cong's words are more like an excuse to divert their attention, and they probably won't believe it.

Of course there is a third possibility.

——No one went to find Ivy! No one knew about his plan to escape!

Ana Shen covered her face and took a deep breath.

He has been in Red Star for nearly two years and has known Zhou Hui for a little over a year. He originally really regarded Zhou Hui as a neighbor, but after getting along with him, he had a growing sense of déjà vu, which forced him to face reality.

Zhou Hui is not Ruan Zhixian himself.

But he is definitely the agent of Ruan Zhixian's will on Red Star, and the eyes and mouth of Ruan Zhixian.

I deliberately hung around him, called him "brother" secretly once, gave him a necklace with three metal feathers on his birthday and insisted that he put it on it personally, and at the end of the thank you list after I finished the game, there was a string of unknown codes.

After cracking, Ruan Zhixian's name was listed alongside his.

At that time, "Zhou Hui" asked him with confused eyes, who Ruan Zhixian was.

Ana Shen almost lifted his vest.

But when he thought that seeing him break down might be Ruan Zhixian's purpose, he endured it again and again and finally endured it.

If Ruan Zhixian could pretend for a lifetime, he would be happy to pretend with him for a lifetime.

Unfortunately, Ruan Zhixian didn’t have it.

Zhou Hui left the stage and after he left, he gave him a new game and asked him to complete it, saying there was a surprise inside.

The surprise is this?

Ana Shen turned on the computer again, and the screen still stayed on a full page of “yes”.

Ana Shen ordered one at random.

All the yeses disappeared, and the little man's dark eyes curved into two arches, and he said with a smile:

【Brother, wait for me. 】

The computer returned to normal.

Ana Shen opened the terminal and booked a ticket to L City.

After thinking about it, I canceled it.

No need.

.

Zhou Hui never sent him any messages again, as if he had disappeared out of thin air.

Chen Yan had no gaming partner and didn't have any games he really wanted to play for the time being, so he stayed at home for two days, but couldn't stand it anymore, so he ran to find Chen Fen.

Chen Fen was his boss when he was an apprentice in the tattoo shop. He worked there for a month and a half, but resigned because a customer said that his girlfriend was having an affair with Chen Fen, and he started to make trouble and smashed the shop. He tried to stop them and dislocated the customer's arm.

The customer wanted to sue him and insisted that Chen Fen's store would not be able to continue. As soon as Shen Yan saw his state, he knew that this guy was a gangster sent by his peers to disrupt the situation. He made an appointment with him privately, gave him some money, and fed him some magic potion, and successfully turned him over.

But his bad reputation had spread. People said he was Chen Fen's thug and he would beat anyone who disobeyed him, and would also beat anyone who cried out in pain too loudly.

Business is visibly declining.

He was so depressed that he could not even cry. He just tried the fake leather and quit before he had a chance to really get used to it.

Chen Fen said that she owed him a favor and that she could get any tattoo she wanted for free in the future.

Seeing him coming, Chen Fen, who was working, nodded to him and said, "Ten minutes."

Ana Shen was not idle either. As soon as he entered the house, he helped to clean the table. When he was almost done, Chen Fen had also finished.

Chen Fen took off his gloves and asked, "Do you have a picture of your own? If not, I just drew one here that will suit you very well."

Shen Yan smiled: “No tattoo, I’ll treat you to a drink, do you want to go?”

Chen Fen paused, turned to look at him, "Are you worried about something? Did someone set you up while you were traveling and defrauded you of all your money?"

“Yeah.” Ana Shen joked, “I owe almost five million, but luckily I have some money left for drinking.”

Chen Fen packed up and closed the shop. "Let's go to the polar region. Ask Dengbao and Xiaowei to come with you. You go out to travel and we don't see them all day. They miss you too."

Dengbao and Xiaowei arrived earlier than them. Both of them were chatterboxes, chattering around Shen Yan. When they heard Chen Fen say that he was in a bad mood, they got even more angry and called several model brothers to make Shen Yan happy.

Shen Yan, who was surrounded and flattered by men, felt his hair stand on end. After drinking for a while, he was even more horrified to see a man trying to feed him mouth-to-mouth. He quickly made an excuse to go to the toilet and went outside to get some fresh air.

The wind outside the bar was very cold, and the breath exhaled by Ana Shen was filled with white mist. He looked up at the tall building not far away, with a crescent moon on the tip of the building.

Another year has passed.

Chen Fen followed him out, asked Guan Chenyan for a cigarette, and watched the moon with him. After a while, he suddenly said, "Why don't you also find a partner?"

"Why do you say that?"

Chen Fen took down his cigarette and stamped it out. "Just tell me if you're in a relationship or not. What kind of person do you like?"

Shen Yan: “I don’t have such plan.”

Chen Fen looked at him: "Really?"

Shen Yan: “No.”

Chen Fen stared at Ana Shen for a while, and indeed did not find any hint of excitement on his face. He sighed helplessly and said sincerely:

“Alan Chen, when you want to date someone someday, feel free to contact me. I have several friends here who are suitable for you.”

Ana Shen and Chen Fen walked back, and after hearing her say that, they were a little curious, “Who do you think is suitable for me, Sister Chen?”

Chen Fen said bluntly: "You have a strong sense of boundaries. It's easy for you to become friends with others, but if you want to go further, it's harder than climbing to the sky."

"But you are soft-hearted and can't resist persuasion, so the person who is most suitable for you must have three major elements -"

Chen Fen raised three fingers towards him: "Strong, strong, and strong."

Shen Yan: “…”

Chen Fen looked at Ana Shen and said meaningfully, “Who are you thinking about?”

Ana Shen: “Neighbor.”

Chen Fen narrowed his eyes, "Just a neighbor?"

Ana Shen pushed the door open, “Just a neighbor.”

.

After playing until midnight, Shen Yan returned home drunk and fell asleep on the bed, but he had no rest for the whole night.

I had a dream. I dreamed that Ruan Zhixian pressed me in various places and fucked me. While doing so, he asked me whether I felt comfortable, enjoyed, and whether it was right or wrong.

No matter what the answer is, it won't stop. There is no pain in the dream, and the pleasure is even clearer, so clear that it seems like someone is really fucking me.

A pair of hands wandered over his body, and the blurred-looking person leaned close to his ear and whispered softly—

Ana Shen woke up suddenly, and just as he sat up, he fell back again.

Oh shit.

Dry mouth, pain at the tip of the tongue, head feels like it's splitting, body feels weak, partial lapses in consciousness, and I can't remember anything.

He moved, and his whole body felt like he had been severely beaten. Every inch of his muscles and bones screamed in pain, and Ana Shen took a deep breath in confusion.

No, what happened.

Did he sleepwalk out in the middle of the night to pick a fight with some thugs?

How come I have no memory at all?

It's just a small amount of wine, you shouldn't drink to this extent.

Ana Shen barely raised his arms, propped up his upper body, and leaned against the head of the bed. This movement alone made him gasp for breath in pain.

It's not just pain, but also a mixed feeling of soreness and swelling that's almost painful.

Ana Shen’s heartbeat quickened, and he lifted up his clothes.

The skin is the same as always, no special marks.

But he still couldn't breathe a sigh of relief.

He heard the TV in the living room.

"The star calendar...is...vast..."

The sound insulation is very good and the sound doesn't sound real.

Ana Shen's heart was pounding, and he tried to distinguish the sounds outside, but to no avail.

All I could hear was what seemed to be a piece of news being repeated over and over again.

He sat on the bed for a while, then walked to the bedroom door with heavy steps.

He pressed his ear to the door, holding his breath.

It's finally clear.

"On July 28, 136th year of the Star Calendar, a criminal gang led by Ruan escaped from prison. Please be vigilant, and if you find any clues, please report them immediately..."

Knock knock.

There was a sudden crisp knock on the door, and Ana Shen felt a chill down her spine, and she quickly took two steps back.

The door handle was pressed down slowly, and Ana Shen stared at the turning door handle, with his feet nailed to the ground. Even though he had expected it, he still couldn't control his breathing difficulties.

The door opened.

Ruan Zhixian smiled at Shen Yan.

"Good morning, bro."

"Did you dream about me yesterday?"

Ana Shen didn’t answer.

Looking past Ruan Zhixian, he saw the host on TV who was reporting the same news over and over again.

And the three people who were looking at him with cold eyes.
