Eoubs East District.
Meeting room 01202-C27.
Sheen drove the car back to the private garage and parked it in the same spot—even though no one cared whether she parked it in the right place or not, she did it anyway.
After finishing everything, she changed into a new dress and walked into the long-awaited banquet—a special reception hosted by the higher-ups, who said that the Americas hadn't sent any inspectors for a long time, and they had to show proper hospitality. A group of waiters followed behind, watching the woman walk steadily into the hall, as if she had never left, showing no sign of having just discussed how to destroy the world.
She smiled and greeted every operative and high-ranking officer present. Although she was waiting for someone, a large number of people were already completely drunk.
Sheen exchanged a few polite words, then casually took a glass of expensive wine from the waiter and continued walking through the crowd, taking a handful of hallucinogenic drugs from the "gift box" on the table and placing them one by one into the pile of champagne.
The banquet is similar to those in the Americas, with contraband items everywhere to give you a blast. These things are supplied in large quantities in Eoubs, like toilet paper, ensuring that no one will have a suicidal idea while also making the banquet sufficiently relaxing.
Lu Jin sat in the corner, watching with interest as she casually picked up her wine glass, made what seemed like a funny joke with one of the operatives, and then dropped a pill into the glass in front of the man. The two laughed, clinked glasses, and drank it all in one gulp.
As she repeated this action until she was in the center of the hall, the entire banquet began to become unrestrained.
So he always felt that this godforsaken place was so cold and hopeless. It was like a transit station, somewhere between hell and heaven. Here, you could find some temporary comfort—by taking handfuls of soft drugs or by relying on your own fantasies. Otherwise, your whole life would become a pile of waste paper splattered with gasoline, ready to ignite at any moment.
While they revel here, somewhere else they are being devoured alive.
The person who wanted to start the fire walked past the already drunken operative with an air of nonchalance—then stopped in front of a high-ranking official. Just a few hours earlier, he had been enthusiastically discussing in the salon that if Yu Jianchu refused to be tortured, he would make sure that bitch came to his suite. This man was talking business with his subordinates, quite drunk, and gesturing excitedly with his hands.
Sheen stared at him for a moment, then handed him the wine glass.
The other person didn't even look, downed the drink in one gulp, and continued talking to others. He clearly didn't know what he was saying or what he had drunk, but he felt fine. Who among those who appeared here hadn't had a powerful forbidden substance implanted in them? They definitely wouldn't die by ordinary means.
In this pre-arranged venue, you don't need to worry about much. Even if someone dies, someone will take care of it. Everyone just needs to reach for drinks, take drugs, and if they're in the mood or see someone they like, they can go to the rooftop and have some fun. If you have alcohol in your hand, you should drink it quickly. They don't usually have such leisure time, as if this group of people originally lived in a fast-paced world.
Everyone knows how to deceive themselves in order to survive.
Having been at Eoubs for so many years, Lu Jin had long realized that none of the people here, whether they were high-ranking officials or just expendable individuals, were truly powerful or proud. They were all bound by a great deal of painful experiences, but over time they had become wiser, using drugs, infighting, alcohol, and destruction to solve all the problems they encountered in life.
He shook his head with a smile, took several more sips of wine, and then raised his glass to the equally bored operative next to him. Perhaps most of them would be able to find a bed partner soon. Eoubs' puppets were happy to live in a brief and blissful illusion—just a moment would be enough, after all, they still had to save the world and control the taboos running rampant.
Twenty minutes later.
Lu Jin picked up cleaning tools, whistling as he wiped the blood off the carpet. His movements were leisurely, and he seemed to be in a very good mood.
No one would notice him; everyone was busy drinking, doing drugs, dancing, and finding someone they liked to sleep with—it didn't matter if it was a man or a woman, as long as they had fun. Besides, it wasn't a big deal if someone died at this kind of party; people died every time. Those operatives with old grudges often liked to settle things at this time—it was either you die or I die.
After the banquet, everything will fall into place naturally. No one will mention who from which department has gone missing; everyone will understand without saying a word.
While he was cleaning up, the group downstairs was still making a scene. Lu Jin sighed, opened his briefcase, took out a row of antidote pills, tied them to his legs, and then opened the door.
Sheen stood outside the door, looking as if he had been waiting for a long time.
“It will leave traces.” She glanced into the room for a few seconds and quickly came to the conclusion: “You went too far; the scent of the special substance has permeated the entire place.”
"I can easily erase them." Lu Jin showed no surprise at her appearance, simply stating calmly, "A small portion of the terminal permissions is enough to overwrite them; that thing is like the person in charge's anus..."
He paused, then decided against describing it that way and changed his words to: "Well... in short, you don't need to worry about this investigator from the Americas."
"Wow, what a noble excuse. You killed a high-ranking official, who was my target all along."
"You ruined my plans. These idiots will die naturally in half a month, and no one will be able to find out the cause."
