Chapter 23 Chapter 23 The relationship between social animals
For a long time, Chi Shuangliu did not speak again.
His eyes were deep, and the gloom in them flashed away.
In many ridiculous and boring literary works, a kind-hearted girl saves the devil, and the devil is moved by the girl's kindness and eventually falls in love with her. This love transcends race and makes the devil willing to die for her.
But unfortunately, he never felt touched or loved by Chen Run's kindness to him. In fact, every time she took care of him unilaterally, he would uncontrollably feel a sharp hatred.
He couldn't even detect the source of this hatred, but he secretly planned that it would be great if she could become as corrupt and rotten as he was.
This was very strange. The long years of confinement had made his emotions dull and numb, and even the deep hatred that once filled his heart had faded. What remained was only obsession and the instinct of a high-level predator. But when facing Shen Run, he would become quite emotional. His chest was filled with a disgusting tingling sensation, which made him try to kill her several times.
His thoughts were so complex and changeable, and the countless tentacles behind him rolled and squirmed, so much so that Shen Run could even hear the sticky crawling sound.
She looked around and asked, "What's that noise? Are there mice in the house?"
Chi Shuangliu's brows twitched slightly.
After a moment, everything returned to calm, and he said calmly, "You heard wrong. Let's eat."
After all, it is a well-known convenience store chain, and the variety of leftovers is rich, such as oden, boxed noodles, bread and desserts. The only drawback is that the taste is too strong, too sweet and too salty. After eating, Shen Run drank three glasses of water to recover.
Chi Shuangliu, on the other hand, seemed quite interested in these desserts. Not only did he eat up several small saccharin cakes, he also drank up the strawberry milk that had no milk flavor at all. He was a little unsatisfied and said, "It tastes good."
When he was at the base, he was not so happy even when eating expensive nutritious meals. Unexpectedly, he actually fell in love with this high-tech food. What kind of physique is this chosen for workers? Shen Run was stunned.
After filling her stomach, she dug out a cell phone from the bedroom and fiddled with it while saying, "Brother Chi, this is my old phone. The screen is a little broken, but it can still be used. You can use it first. I may have to work part-time outside recently. You can keep this so that we can keep in touch..."
"I don't think I've seen you use a smartphone before. Do you know how to use it? Do you want me to teach you..."
She raised her head, only for the back of her head to hit his chest.
He came up behind her without her knowing when, leaning down seemingly casually, skillfully breaking the safe distance. His eyes were fixed on the screen, and he curled his lips slightly: "Okay."
Chen Run was not short, but she still looked very slender in front of Chi Shuangliu. If she moved a little, her whole body would be embedded in his arms. She felt a little uncomfortable and slightly shifted her body.
Is there finally a response?
Chi Shuangliu's eyes flickered with a hint of laughter, and he deliberately pointed out her strangeness: "What's wrong? You seem a little uncomfortable?"
Without thinking, Shen Run replied: "Brother Chi, you are too close."
Chi Shuangliu was a little surprised: "Why do you feel uncomfortable when I'm close to you?"
The topic seems to have taken a strange turn again, and no matter how I answer, it seems awkward...
She could only change the subject: "This is my other WeChat account, which I used for work. I deleted all my former clients and colleagues, and I don't add many people on WeChat. This is Xyin. When I have nothing to do, I watch short videos on it and share and chat with friends. When you are free, you can..."
When he was in the laboratory before, Chi Shuangliu saw many parasol staff using this software. Its push mechanism is very scientific and can accurately calculate the user's preferences through algorithms... In other words, this software can further control her.
The dark desire to voyeurism reached its peak at this moment. He imagined the scene of mastering all of her, and his heartbeat accelerated slightly with excitement.
His slender fingers went around her and he took the phone lightly: "Really? Let me see."
For human beings, understanding their likes and dislikes is equivalent to mastering their weaknesses. Capitalists use this precise calculation rule to make customers pay money obediently. He couldn't wait to open the software and eagerly peek into her life.
First video: Repairing cow hooves.
Second video: Popping pimples.
The third video: The kitten farts, puff puff puff.
Chi Shuangliu: "..."
Chen Run was right beside him, watching his expression go up and down like a roller coaster, and finally sinking to the bottom. She tentatively called out, "Brother Chi?"
Chi Shuangliu was silent for a full half minute before he put on an impeccable smile: "I'm a little tired, good night."
Confused, Shen Run said, "...Good night."
......
Louis was discovered three hours after his death. The top executives of Sun Umbrella were greatly shocked. Several top executives who came to the Magic City quickly held a secret meeting - Cao Xun's level was not high enough for the time being, so several top executives did not take him to play.
The atmosphere in the confidential meeting room was oppressive, and everyone's expressions were grave. A white woman in her sixties or seventies was the first to lose her composure. "Are you sure it was Chi, Chi... 001 who did it? But doesn't his ability really restrain 001?"
The three words "Chi Shuangliu" are quite difficult for foreigners to pronounce, so she simply changed the name to 001.
"Who else could it be besides him? Louis deserves it. He tried to monopolize 001 behind our backs, and he got his revenge." A well-dressed senior official sneered briefly and fell silent again. After a long pause, he said softly, "However...according to the actual information, he and 001 had no direct contact at all..."
A cold wind seemed to blow through the extremely airtight conference room, and everyone shuddered, and the room fell silent again.
"Hey, everyone, you are too timid. If he could really kill people at will, would we still be sitting here? He would have ruled the world long ago! If not, it means that his ability is still greatly limited. There must be something wrong with Louis that triggered his counterattack mechanism." This time it was a mixed-race lady who spoke. She knocked on the smooth table and sneered.
Her features were deep, beautiful, and fierce. She gently tossed her brown curly hair. "Besides, my brother's death wasn't completely in vain. The family removed Louis's chip and located it, and the chip probably locked onto 001's location." She gave a playful smile. "If the location is correct, he should be with the assistant Lu Kuo hired for him."
Her special ability seemed to be related to charm. Everyone was a little dazed when she smiled, and their original fear subsided a lot. They unconsciously wanted to hear her continue.
The top officials at home retained some consciousness: "Monica, even if you know where he is, so what? We can't get close to him at all!"
Monica glanced at him, her face filled with impatience towards idiots. "Ever since he escaped the company's control, he's been staying with that assistant. He has no protection against thermal weapons, no electric shock bracelet, no ability control, and no ability isolation suit. Yet, that assistant is still alive, while 001 has been behaving peacefully. Do you know what this means? It means that Lu Kuo's domestication plan is very likely to have worked. Through training and cultivation, he can establish a connection with humans and even be controlled by them."
Several senior executives began breathing heavily. They had fear on their faces just now, but now their eyes were filled with unconcealable greed.
Monica looked at everyone's expressions with satisfaction and smiled slightly, "So, instead of confronting him head-on, why not start with that assistant?"
The top officials at home had to warn him, "This is China. The first iron rule for people with special abilities is that they cannot attack ordinary people. Do you want to attract the patrol?"
Monica's patience with the idiot had completely run out. She took a deep breath and sneered disdainfully, "If stupidity is an art form, then you've undoubtedly reached the pinnacle of creativity. Who told you I was going to use a superpower against ordinary people? Isn't it easy to completely control an ordinary person?"
She pulled out a stack of documents and smiled, "That kid seems to be in a serious debt crisis." Her beautiful cat-eye nails flicked the documents. "At her previous company, she bravely injured her boss. To pay it off, she's incurred a massive debt with an online loan company. I've also thoroughly investigated that company..."
She smiled mysteriously, "We belong to that very extreme organization of superpowers without borders that gives governments around the world a headache."
She pulled out the bottom copy, which had a picture of a beetle on it.
The pupils of the domestic high-level officials shrank: "Darwin Evolution Group!"
Almost all members of this organization are supernatural beings with unique skills. What's more terrifying is that 70% of the members were once pirates or wanted criminals in various countries. They are brutal, anti-social and anti-human. It is said that they have brutally massacred several small countries in Africa. Moreover, they are all stateless and often commit major crimes in a certain country and run away. We don't even know where to catch them, which makes governments around the world extremely headache.
"You all know what to do without me telling you, right?" Monica flicked her nails. "There's been a lot of noise these past two days. Hold off on taking any action. Wait a few days and send someone who has no connection to the company to talk to the online loan company. Have them put some pressure on the kid. I believe she'll then come to negotiate with us."
"But there's one thing to be careful about," she said in a leisurely tone. "Just let her suffer a little bit, don't let those lunatics in Darwin kill her."
......
Chen Run had to work a small night shift tonight. It was already past eleven when she finished her work. She was the only one left in the store. As luck would have it, a few drops of rain were streaking across the glass window. The marks became more and more dense, and the sound of the falling rain became louder and louder. Soon, a downpour came unexpectedly, and puddles of water quickly accumulated on the ground.
Chen Run waited in the store for a while, and saw that the heavy rain not only did not stop, but it seemed to be getting heavier. It was almost twelve o'clock, and she sighed in worry.
The convenience store was about two blocks away from her home, which wasn't far, but she didn't bring an umbrella. The cheapest umbrella in the store cost 25 yuan, and she was reluctant to spend money for such a short distance. The money was enough to buy a pound of hind leg meat.
Seeing that the sky was getting darker and the rain was getting heavier, Chen Run gritted his teeth, made up his mind, took off his coat, covered his head with it, and rushed out.
She didn't look at the road and bumped into someone, almost falling flat on her back. The person reached out to steady her and said helplessly, "Slow down."
Chen Run was startled: "Brother Chi?" She looked surprised: "Why are you here?"
"I'll bring you an umbrella." Chi Shuangliu held the umbrella over her head and smiled slightly: "Why don't you call me to pick you up?"
Shen Run touched his nose: "I forgot."
It’s not that she forgot, she just subconsciously ruled out the option of asking for help.
When she was a child, no matter if she was bullied or got hurt or got sick with a fever, as long as she told her family, her father's first reaction was to scold her.
"Why do they bully you instead of others? Look for the reasons in yourself!"
"Why didn't you look at the road when you walked? Why did you fall?"
"Why do you have a fever? Do you know how much it costs to see a doctor? Do you know how hard I work?"
Her brother next to her was gloating, and her mother was anxious and running around but didn't know what she was busy with.
It made her seem as if she was not injured or sick, but had committed some unforgivable crime.
Over time, she no longer liked to talk to others, preferring to bear it all on her own. Sometimes she even felt guilty about asking others for help.
Chi Shuangliu looked at her straight, obviously not believing her.
Chen Run lowered his head awkwardly: "I was afraid of bothering you..."
"I'd love to be bothered by you."
He gently interrupted her, holding the umbrella firmly over her head, creating a small piece of sky for her that was not wet by the rain.
"You are very special to me."
He spoke with tenderness and gentleness, but his eyes were calm. Every movement and every word seemed carefully designed, like soft silk threads, tightly trapping people in a net.
Chen Run was obviously impressed by this. She lowered her head and sniffed, then said with emotion: "Brother Chi, you are so kind to me..." She hesitated for a moment, as if she had made up her mind. She suddenly raised her head and looked at him with a resolute expression: "Since you said so, we..."
Chi Shuangliu's voice was filled with hidden encouragement: "What about us?"
Chen Run suddenly grasped his hands and said very emotionally, "Let's become sworn brothers!"
