Chapter 19 Chapter 19 The Crisis of the Evil God
With the naked eye, Chi Shuangliu certainly couldn't recognize what the bag of strange little things on the ground were, but through his sense of smell, he could distinguish the smell of the embarrassing body fluids, and probably guessed the function of the instruments on the ground - tools to assist humans in mating.
He looked at Chen Run's face, which was turning purple, with great interest.
Chen Run stuttered for about five seconds and almost jumped up from where he was standing: "No!"
She quickly picked up the garbage on the ground and rushed downstairs to throw it away. The whole process took no more than a minute.
After finishing all this, she took out the key and opened the tattered-looking iron door.
——Fang Yi didn't want to live here anymore, so she asked the landlord to quit the group early, and her house became empty. The landlord was going to rent it out, but Shen Run had learned from Bai Miao that she would be able to get a permanent job next month, and would move to the base after that. She didn't want to spend the remaining ten days or so getting used to a new tenant, so she was generous for once and paid the rent for the remaining ten days or so. Therefore, Fang Yi's house was considered to be rented by her, and it was okay for Chi Shuangliu to stay there temporarily.
Fang Yi has to move out in the next two days, so the living room is full of her things, and the floor is littered with things, making the living room a mess.
Along the way, Chen Run tried hard to appear less needy and disheveled in front of Chi Shuangliu, but unfortunately, she couldn't get what she wanted. She explained dejectedly, "Actually, the house isn't usually like this. I'm very clean..."
Although her financial situation is not good, she is a person who does not like to lose face in front of others and would rather grit her teeth and endure everything. Today she is really embarrassed.
Compared to the fact that she was in such a difficult situation, Chen Run's behavior of covering up the situation all the way obviously attracted Chi Shuangliu's attention more. His eyes flickered slightly, hiding a hint of ridicule, and he smiled impeccably: "Very cute."
Chen Run's ears tingled, and he couldn't help but look at him again.
She noticed from the moment Chi Shuangliu started talking that he often used interjections like "ne" and "oh" when he spoke, which made people's ears itch. Even when he was talking seriously about business, there was a sense of bewitching in his words.
She rubbed her ears uncomfortably and changed the subject vaguely: "I'm going to change my clothes first. It's time for dinner now. Brother Chi, do you want to eat anything?"
It was already evening, and she hadn't felt hungry yet. But as soon as she said the word "hungry", she remembered that she hadn't eaten for a whole day, and the feeling of hunger was like a surging sea.
While rubbing her rumbling stomach, she suddenly remembered something and said hesitantly, "Brother Chi, can you eat ordinary food?" Chi Shuangliu had been eating the special food of the Sun Umbrella Company before.
Chi Shuangliu smiled and said, "Of course."
Eating special food is purely for Sun Umbrella's self-entertainment. The body he sculpted, from genes to bones, flesh and blood to outer skin tissues, is a one-to-one replica of humans. Of course, he eats what humans eat.
The only difference is that this body's metabolism is much slower than that of humans. It can go without food for ten days or half a month. The way it absorbs energy is not as simple as eating and drinking. Moreover, eating too much can easily lead to overnutrition. It also has to excrete energy from the body through sweating, breathing, etc.
Chen Run breathed a sigh of relief. She couldn't make those special foods. She said excitedly, "How about we have hot pot tonight? Brother Chi, have you ever had hot pot? I especially love the fatty beef, boneless duck feet, brains, and potato chips. Brother Chi, what dishes do you like?"
When you don't know what to eat but want to eat quickly, hot pot is of course the most convenient. However, hot pot is expensive, and she would not be willing to eat it on normal days. But tonight, she is entertaining guests, so she decided to splurge.
Seeing her expectant face, Chi Shuangliu was a little bored: "Okay, no, it's up to you." He had no interest in her preferences and no desire to ask any further questions.
The desire to share is mutual. Seeing his cold response, Shen Run stopped talking awkwardly. She was still wearing her pajamas from last night. Considering that they were going to eat hot pot later, she didn't change her clothes and put on a coat. "Then I'm going out to buy groceries."
As she stepped out of the door, she remembered to ask, "Brother Chi, do you want to go with me?"
She was just asking casually. Judging from Chi Shuangliu's previous behavior, he was a typical otaku. The only activity he did every day was walking from the bedroom to the living room to eat, or from the living room to the bedroom to sleep.
Unexpectedly, Chi Shuangliu thought about it and nodded slightly: "Okay."
From the ancient gods to the Chi family to the Sun Umbrella Company, Chi Shuangliu has been either imprisoned or on the way to imprisonment since he became conscious. He has almost no experience in activities in human society, and it is time to learn about it.
Chen Run was stunned for a moment: "Well, okay, I'll take you to the market to buy vegetables." She thought for a moment, then took out an oversized mask and handed it to him: "Put on the mask."
Putting aside other things, Chi Ge's face is really eye-catching, so he should not cause any trouble. However, beauty is really hard to hide, not to mention that Chi Shuangliu has a perfect male model figure of about 1.9 meters. Chen Run, who is 1.72 meters tall, looks petite next to him. As soon as the two of them went downstairs, they were treated to onlookers, and Chen Run could only bite the bullet and pull him out.
Nowadays, many young people like to buy vegetables in supermarkets or through apps, but it is well known that Chen Run is a stingy person, so she took Chi Shuangliu to a farmers' market opposite the staff quarters. She was an old acquaintance here, and as soon as she came in, she was like a dragon crossing the river, bargaining and picking vegetables skillfully.
This is the largest farmers' market nearby. Most of the wholesalers come here. People come and go in an endless stream. Chi Shuangliu's eyes sweep across the crowd inconspicuously.
For him, the sense of smell is far more important than vision, so he has never had any idea about Shen Run's appearance. After seeing enough reference samples today, he realized that Shen Run is one of the humans with more outstanding appearance.
Those who are thinner than her are not as tall as her, those who are taller than her are not as pretty as her, and those who are prettier than her... I haven't seen anyone yet. From the perspective of facial deconstruction, bone structure, and the proportion of fat and muscle, she is pleasing to the eye quite.
Even though humans are lower creatures, if we use monkeys as an analogy, Chen Run is the best-looking monkey.
As if showing gratitude, Chi Shuangliu's gaze lingered on her for a few more seconds.
Chen Run had finished shopping and was ready to check out. The cashier scanned her bill with a barcode scanner and gave her 114.2 yuan. She shuddered with heartache - the vegetables alone only cost a dozen yuan, but the beef, mutton and a small bag of prawns were really expensive.
Chi Shuangliu had excellent eyesight and saw at a glance that the number left on her balance was only 1532.6. Moreover, people need to eat three meals a day. According to her spending, she would have no money for food in five or six days.
Considering that they still lived together, he asked softly, "Do you usually eat like this?"
"Of course not, this is too expensive." Chen Run chuckled, "Brother Chi, you are visiting my home, so I have to treat you to a good meal to show my hospitality."
She opened the plastic bag and said, "I don't know what you like, so I bought a little of each. Try it and see what you like."
Although the two of them had been together for more than half a month, strictly speaking, they had not had much communication or interaction before, and it was difficult for them to develop any friendship. Even their formal communication started today, but Chen Run was considerate and caring towards him, as if they had a deep friendship.
Her previous attentive care could be attributed to work, but now that her job is uncertain, her attentiveness is truly puzzling.
Chi Shuangliu glanced at her, without revealing the sarcasm and doubt in his heart, and smiled gently: "Thank you." He said slowly: "I think I will like everything you buy."
His words were so sweet that Shen Run was so fooled that he felt as light as two ounces of flesh and blood, and he walked back without even touching the ground.
Just as she and Chi Shuangliu reached the bottom of the building, they saw a man standing at the door holding a large bouquet of red roses - it was Xu Jingwen.
......
The parasols are in a mess.
In fact, Lu Kuo did a good job of keeping secrets. Originally, other senior executives did not know that he was going to transfer Chi Shuangliu privately, but after Cao Xun received the order from Chi Shuangliu, he spread the news as soon as possible.
He knew that his strength was insufficient, so he could only use others to muddy the waters so that he could reap the benefits - but the consequence of doing so was that last night the psychics fought a fierce battle, Lu Kuo fell unconscious, Chi Shuangliu disappeared, and the psychics present were seriously injured. No one knew the whereabouts of Chi Shuangliu.
Now the key is who finds Chi Shuangliu first. There is no doubt that the best result is that Cao Xun finds him first. He is a fanatical follower of Chi Shuangliu. If he can successfully take power in Sun Umbrella, then Chi Shuangliu will control Sun Umbrella, the Leviathan enterprise, by controlling Cao Xun, and set off a shocking wave in the real world.
Once Chi Shuangliu is discovered by others first, his fate will be similar to the treatment he received at Lu Kuo's hands - he will be imprisoned in a secret base for research, or become a nuclear deterrent weapon in the hands of a chaebol, never to see the light of day again.
Cao Xun was breathing rapidly and tried to contact Chi Shuangliu through the Cursed Eye again, but it was like a drop in the ocean, with no response.
He suppressed his anxiety and called his assistant: "I asked you to keep an eye on Louis's movements. How are you finding him?"
The assistant's tone was also anxious: "We are still looking. Don't worry, I have mobilized all the manpower I can."
Cao Xun immediately said, "He's a foreigner, and he has nowhere else to go. Contact professionals to find out all of his properties in Shanghai, and then search them one by one."
After hanging up the phone, Cao Xun could no longer suppress his inner anxiety. He cursed under his breath and almost smashed the phone.
——Louis is also one of the company's shareholders, and he holds a considerable amount of shares. He himself has the title of earl and is also a descendant of a foreign chaebol family.
It was not until last night that Cao Xun found out that he was actually a psychic, and a very high-level A-level psychic at that. He directly participated in the siege of Chi Shuangliu yesterday. If Lu Kuo's men had not held him back, he would have successfully taken Chi Shuangliu away by now.
What's even more terrible is that his special ability is very special, and it can even be said that it is specifically designed to defeat Chi Shuangliu.
Cao Xun suppressed his anger and used the Cursed Eye to send another message - 'Master, please be careful of Louis.'
......
In a garden villa somewhere in the suburbs of Shanghai, in the open-ceiling living room, a middle-aged white man in his forties, wearing a high-end casual suit, sat on the sofa. He raised his head slightly, as if admiring something.
Looking closely, his entire right arm was not a human arm, but a silver-gray mechanical arm. The silver-gray metal covered half of his body. Even one eye and half of his face were replaced by machines, and the mechanical eye was still flashing a faint dark red light.
Suddenly, he raised his robotic arm and pointed diagonally.
The air vibrated slightly, as if a paintbrush was sketching in the air bit by bit, from bottom to top. Soon, a silver-blue heavy robot appeared in the spacious and high-ceilinged living room.
This was truly a shocking scene. A robot nearly four meters tall, resembling a Gundam and equipped with deadly weapons in every joint of its body, appeared silently in a luxurious villa in the Magic City.
——Louis’s ability, silicon-based evolution.
Before his superpowers evolved, he worked in robot manufacturing and had his right side burned in an accident. After the evolution, he not only installed a half-mechanical body for himself, but he could also fully control the robot and continuously evolve and upgrade it. It has to be said that this is really an expensive superpower. This superpower requires a high degree of cooperation from the robot manufacturing industry. The cost of this robot alone is as high as 300 million US dollars.
His special ability does restrain Chi Shuangliu, because Chi Shuangliu's ability is limited to 'he can only use his ability to fight back after sensing the desire and malice of humans towards him', and robots have no emotions and desires, so Chi Shuangliu cannot use his almost god-like power, which also caused Louis to get stuck in a bug.
It can be seen from yesterday's battle that Chi Shuangliu cannot use his supernatural powers on robots, and Chi Shuangliu's ability of "desire perception" is limited by distance. The farther away, the smaller the probability of being affected by Chi Shuangliu. It was confirmed last night that Chi Shuangliu could not attack him directly.
But his ability to control the robot is still limited by distance, so Louis deliberately chose a distance range that is far away from Chi Shuangliu, but within which he can control the robot to find him.
He looked at his robot with a happy expression, eyes full of pride and satisfaction. "Have you mapped out the approximate area of his location?"
The silver-blue robot nodded.
Louis held half of Chi Shuangliu's sleeve in his hand and lightly threw it to him: "Go, find him, and bring him back." He couldn't help but chuckle: "You will help me stand at the top of this world."
The silver-blue robot caught the sleeve with a deftness that was totally inconsistent with its tall size. It raised its hand and placed it on its right chest, saluted, and its figure gradually disappeared into the air.
Louis was in a good mood. He pressed a small button on his right mechanical arm with his finger. Soon, a layer of simulated skin covered half of his mechanical body. Even his dark red mechanical eye turned into a blue eye that was no different from his left eye - he now looked exactly like an ordinary person.
He changed into a suit and tie, looked in the mirror, and confirmed that his appearance was normal enough before making a video conference call with other senior executives.
