Chu Chenan hurriedly turned off the TV, clicked on the [Props] column in the system control panel, hesitated for half a second, and finally found the brand new human skin prop card.
[Item Card Name]: Human skin mask.
[Usage limit]: 1 day. [Click here to view the extended guide]
Chu Chenan clicked [Click here to view the extended guide], and the gold coin recharge page was loaded on the screen.
[Exchange for 1 day]: X88888 gold coins
[Exchange for 2 days]: X168888 gold coins
[Exchange for 3 days]: X268888 gold coins
【Exchange for 4 days】:……
Chu Chenan exited the backstage and checked his gold coin balance: 169w+
Over the years, his remaining balance has been supported by his fans who like him, and he has very little spending, so he has saved up so much.
...
...
The system is eyeing his gold coin balance.
Stingy!
He secretly complained in his mind, there was no other way he could do but spend almost all of his gold savings in exchange for a 2-day extension of the time limit.
Chu Chenan clicked to activate the prop card, and almost in an instant, he immediately changed his face into an ordinary one.
Chu Chenan went to the bathroom to look in the mirror. Looking at the strange and ordinary face in the mirror, he took a deep breath.
He could keep this up for three days.
That is to say, he has to complete the task within three days.
Chu Chenan hurriedly packed up his luggage that he had stored in the system and left the hotel.
He came to the ship landing point and waited in a long line. He wore a black hat and a scarf and blended into the crowd.
…
When he saw this giant ship for the second time, Chu Chenan couldn't help but sigh. It was like a light blue iceberg, standing tall and majestic in the vast blue ocean.
Chu Chenan bought an ordinary ticket and lived in a double room by the window. He lived with a recent college graduate named Liu Fanzhi.
Liu Fanzhi has a very cheerful personality, and they chatted happily from the time they boarded the ship until the evening.
"What a coincidence! I'm also a journalism major." Liu Fanyi sat on the bed opposite him, holding his camera in his hand. "But I'm not working in journalism. I've become a photographer since I graduated. What's your current occupation? Is it journalism?"
Chu Chenan was a little cautious. He shook his head and said, "No, I'm a freelancer now."
Liu Fanyi nodded, "Freelancing is good. Many people are freelancing now. They get high salaries and can arrange their own time. By the way, I heard there's a cocktail party on the ship tonight. Are you going? We can go together."
Chu Chenan nodded, "Okay."
"I heard that Qin Jue will also come this time. Damn, I didn't expect that I would be so lucky to travel and meet my idol up close..." Liu Fanyi said, "I just don't know if I can take a couple of photos, tsk tsk."
Chu Chenan looked at the blood-red sunset on the sea outside the window and subconsciously clenched his palms.
Liu Fanyi: "You don't know who Qin Jue is, do you?"
Chu Chenan looked at Liu Fanyi in a daze, without any reaction.
"Qin Jue," Liu Fanyi said, patting his thigh. "He is a celebrity in the charity world. He has funded 118 impoverished areas in recent years. He has been on the list of the richest people in China and was named the most philanthropic capitalist of the year by the A Country Charity Association. This is an officially recognized one. I often see him on the news. How come you don't know him?"
Is this talking about the same person?
Why do perverts have such a good reputation outside?
Chu Chenan forced a smile and said, "I don't have any impression."
…
At night.
Chu Chenan and his roommate Liu Fanyi came to the party hall. The hall was echoing with loud music, many people were dancing enthusiastically in the middle of the dance floor, and bright lights surrounded every corner of the hall.
In the dim light, the shadows of the crowd surged and overlapped, almost blinding Chu Chenan's eyes.
Chu Chenan found a corner and sat down. He held a glass of juice and declined Liu Fanyi's invitation. "I can't dance. You go and play."
Liu Fanyi, "Okay, I'll come find you later."
Chu Chenan nodded: "Okay."
In the chaotic and noisy crowd, Chu Chenan inadvertently caught a glimpse of a figure. The man had a shaved head and a bandage on his head. He was moving around among a group of fat people, smiling and toasting from time to time, with wrinkles all over his face.
Chu Chenan recognized that the man was Zhou Qiangshan!
He used his consciousness to open the system control panel and contacted Jiang Lin: [Wasn’t Zhou Qiangshan crippled by Qin Jue? Why is he still on the ship? 】
Jiang Lin: [I heard that he took some special medicine. What's wrong? Why are you asking him suddenly? 】
Chu Chenan: [It’s okay, I just saw him. 】
Jiang Lin: [You are on the ship, Chen An]
Chu Chenan: [Yeah. 】
Jiang Lin: [I’m on the boat too. 】
Jiang Lin: [Did you use that prop card? 】
Chu Chenan: [Used it. 】
Jiang Lin: [Although Qin Jue is still monitoring me, we can also create an opportunity to meet. 】
Jiang Lin: [Anyway, he can’t recognize you anymore. 】
Chu Chenan hesitated for a while and replied: [Yes. 】
Jiang Lin: [You can keep an eye on Zhou Qiangshan first. Their party might start in these two days. Once there is any progress in the task, remember to contact me as soon as possible and don't act rashly. 】
Jiang Lin: [This mission is very dangerous]
Jiang Lin: [After completing this task, we can go home, Chen An. 】
Jiang Lin: [Don't be nervous, I will take you home. 】
Chu Chenan was subconsciously stunned for a moment before realizing that this was indeed the last mission.
Need not.
I will go home by myself.
He thought to himself.
He sat down in a seat near Zhou Qiangshan, with his back to Zhou Qiangshan, concentrating on eavesdropping on the group's conversation.
One of the middle-aged men, wearing a flowered shirt, said, "Old Zhou, didn't you say you would bring a little boyfriend to whet our appetite?"
Someone echoed, "That's right, where are our dishes!"
Someone teased: "Could it be that you are reluctant to let go again, Mr. Zhou?"
"No, how could I not be willing to do that!" Zhou Qiangshan sat down, shook his head drunkenly, touched his belly and said with a smile, "I would have killed him a long time ago."
Chu Chenan's eyes froze, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and he turned his head to the side and clenched his palms.
The fat man in the flowered shirt said, "When did it happen?"
"Just a week ago, I left it in the house for two days. When I came back, the meat had already gone rancid. The smell was so bad that it made me sick. Haha..."
Zhou Qiangshan smiled, as if he was narrating an insignificant episode.
Chu Chenan suppressed the anger in his heart and clenched his fists tightly.
How could it happen so suddenly?
Cheng Hao clearly said that he wanted to leave this circle, so why was he still...
"How did you kill him?" Zhou Qiangshan narrowed his eyes and slammed the table. "That damned kid was such a jerk! I spent so much money on him, and guess what happened? He said he quit! He wanted to run away! How could such a good thing happen in the world? The fattened beast wanted to run away, and he kept giving me a bad look all day long. How could I bear this kind of humiliation?"
The fat man in the flowered shirt took a sip of wine, hugged a beautiful woman in a miniskirt, and asked again, "How did you kill her?"
Zhou Qiangshan added, "I sewed up his mouth, cut open his stomach with a knife, and emptied out everything inside... What did I use? A kitchen knife!"
Zhou Qiangshan talked about it with relish.
The people around him clapped and cheered, and continued to laugh.
Someone smiled and gave him a thumbs up, "Have you eaten yet?"
Zhou Qiangshan, "I ate some liver, it was so bitter, it was a waste of all the money I spent on it."
Chu Chenan lowered his eyes, his whole body trembling with anger, his knuckles turned white from being clenched.
Zhou Qiangshan killed Cheng Hao just like he was gutting a fish, and used this as something to brag about.
In their eyes, Cheng Hao was just like a livestock, a fish, or a dish...
No one cares whether he lives or dies, and no one cares whether he is willing or not.
One of them said, "That's fine. We brought a lot of good stuff this time. Just wait for your meal."
Zhou Qiangshan rubbed his hands and smiled, revealing his yellow teeth. "When was it decided?"
The fat man in the flowered shirt said, "The higher-ups said it will start tomorrow night, so let's clean it up."
"Will the people from above come?" Zhou Qiangshan asked.
"Come on, I heard that a VIP will be coming." The fat man in the flowered shirt was named Wu, and everyone in the circle called him Fatty Wu. "We should be quick when the time comes, and we have to listen to him in everything."
"Alright, alright," Zhou Qiangshan became more and more irritated as he drank. He waved his hand, "Don't we know this clearly? Come on, let's continue drinking."
…
Chu Chenan didn't dare to listen any further. He wrote down the time and place of their party, then quietly stood up, blended into the crowd, and left.
At the end of the party, Chu Chenan secretly talked to Zhou Qiangshan.
Zhou Qiangshan seemed to be drunk and was staggering into the bathroom. He turned on the water in the sink and turned the switch to the maximum. The water was flowing. Chu Chenan walked closer and listened. He could vaguely hear a few sobs mixed with some slight choking sounds.
Zhou Qiangshan was drunk and talking nonsense. He wiped the water stains on his hands onto his body. "I'm sorry, Haohao, I'm such a piece of shit. I'm so sorry for you, Haohao..."
Zhou Qiangshan was crying with red eyes, his body tilted and about to fall, as if he was mourning for his beloved lover.
Chu Chenan couldn't bear to watch it anymore at the door, so he turned around and left.
As he walked, he muttered, "Psycho."
You regret it after you kill someone. What were you doing before?
Maybe Zhou Qiangshan really likes Cheng Hao as Cheng Hao said. But that little bit of love was not even a fraction of what he needed to satisfy his hunger.
Chu Chenan returned to the dance hall. Just as he met up with Liu Fanyi, the music in the hall was suddenly turned off.
Liu Fanyi was very excited and patted Chu Chenan on the shoulder, "I'll go, I'll go. Look, Qin Jue is here."
Chu Chenan looked over when he heard the voice, and facing the bright light, he saw Qin Jue standing on the second floor.
This hall was large enough to accommodate hundreds of people, with luxurious lights and shadows interlaced. Qin Jue was wearing a black windbreaker, with a smile in his deep eagle eyes. He said a few simple words in front of the microphone, "... Then, I wish you all a pleasant journey."
Qin Jue took a step back. He lowered his head and took a deep look at the crowd in the hall. Almost in an instant, Chu Chenan, who was mixed in the crowd, was so scared that he quickly lowered his head.
Out of guilt, he didn't dare to look Qin Jue in the eye.
Qin Jue stayed for a few seconds and then left the main stage on the second floor. He walked down the corridor of the ship's presidential suite, with butler Borrick following behind him.
Qin Jue walked forward quietly, lowered his head and lit a cigarette, "Is there any movement from Jiang Lin?"
"No, Master." Borrick glanced at Qin Jue's back fearfully and answered respectfully, "He has been staying in the suite the whole time. Today, apart from reading books and looking up information online, he did not do anything unusual. In addition, according to your instructions, I have repeatedly checked all the passengers on this flight. Their identity information is real and there is no problem."
Qin Jue had a gloomy face, holding a cigar in his hand and exhaling white smoke, "Are you sure?"
Borrick said, "Yes, yes, I can guarantee it. The staff has checked it three times with the intelligent system, and there will be no mistakes."
Qin Jue said nothing, turned around and walked away without looking back, saying quietly, "Well done, Borrick."
Borrick followed him carefully. Qin Jue's cold tone made Borrick feel pressured and nervous.
It can be seen that Qin Jue was not satisfied with this result.
Qin Jue walked into the suite, clicked the invisible switch on the wall, and opened the cold storage room on the inner wall. This cold storage room was newly remodeled, but the furnishings and layout were not hasty or rough.
The room is filled with cold air.
Chu Chenan's cold body was lying on the ice bed, and his favorite bouquet of flowers was placed beside the bed.
"Why are you so well behaved today? You remember to wait for your husband to come back." Qin Jue walked over slowly and kissed Chu Chenan's cold forehead.
He held Chu Chenan's white and tender little hand and carefully applied maintenance oil to him, "Don't freeze it, or you'll cry out in pain when you come back, you're so delicate."
Qin Jue talked to himself with a fierce tone.
"Baby, tell me," his eyes were dark and paranoid, and he stroked Chu Chenan's brow with his fingertips, and whispered, "Are you hiding in the crowd today, waiting for me to find you?"
Qin Jue smiled with his lips curved, his smile was cold.
He was talking to the cold Chu Chenan, paranoia occupying his mind, his emotional state split yet stitched together, always looking particularly creepy in the dim light.
…
Chu Chenan sneezed and sat up suddenly.
There was sweat on his forehead and he took a deep breath.
Liu Fanyi, who was sitting opposite him, was holding his phone and hadn't fallen asleep yet. He looked at him and asked, "What's wrong with you? Did you have a nightmare?"
Chu Chenan closed his beautiful eyes, his eyelashes trembling slightly. He was stunned for a few seconds before replying, "...It's okay."
He shuddered.
