Chapter 14 Don't Be Polite
"You are just like a profiteer now."
In the interrogation room, Lin Qingsheng said softly.
But the puppet was not angry at all, he just shook his head and said: "This description is not appropriate, the businessman is profit-seeking, but I just find it funny."
Then the puppet said in a tone of "You are ignorant, I can't explain it to you":
"You are too insignificant to understand my thoughts. Even people who know everything need interesting things to kill time."
Small, perhaps.
But this statement still sounds a bit irritating.
Lin Qingsheng felt that if he continued listening he would be unable to resist the urge to slap his size 42 shoes on the face of this half-human, half-ghost puppet in front of him.
He subconsciously lit a cigarette, took a puff, and then exhaled a cloud of smoke to calm himself.
After taking a puff of cigarette, Lin Qingsheng gradually calmed down. Looking at the puppet that was about to speak, he waved his hand and said:
"Can you just say, what do you want?"
The puppet smiled and leaned back on the chair. Its sharp fangs and strange face made it look more like a ghost.
"I said it's expensive, I can't afford it."
"This joke is not funny at all?" Lin Qingsheng said while looking at the puppet.
The puppet shook his head and said politely, "How can you say this is a joke? You asked about the price, and I know you can't afford it, so I can only say it's very expensive. This is a kind of courtesy. I am a well-educated and respectable person, so I have to give you some way out."
"But I'm not a treacherous person. I'll give you a plan. You only need to buy the information of one clue. This way, you can almost afford the reward."
The tip of the cigarette still glowed yellow, with wisps of smoke rising up along the wrist.
Lin Qingsheng warned himself not to fight back. He couldn't win.
But that face full of stitches is so disgusting no matter how I look at it.
"Don't talk so much, just tell me what clues you have."
The puppet reached out and knocked on the table: "According to the general rules, you should pay first and then get the news. However, since this is your first time buying news from me, I can give you a discount - listen to the news first and pay later."
"Aren't you afraid that I will default on my debt?" Lin Qingsheng said while exhaling smoke.
"No one can shirk my responsibility. If you don't believe me, you can try it when the time comes."
The Muppet's tone of voice didn't sound like a threat, but rather like he was watching another fun game.
The words seemed to be saying: Just try it, I don’t mind playing with you in a different way.
Lin Qingsheng compromised, and this is the current situation.
Now that he has overturned the table, he must be the one who suffers.
"Tell me the news."
"Shuntianfu, Qingshou Temple, under the twin towers, you can go and have a look. The prime minister in black might have left something that can answer your questions."
The puppet said slowly.
When it delivered the news, it had a sense of confidence, as if everything was under control.
Lin Qingsheng's pupils shrank.
"The black-robed prime ministers Daoyan and Yao Guangxiao?"
There is absolutely no one in the Ming Dynasty who does not know the black-robed prime minister Yao Guangxiao. As a civil official, he was the only civil official to be enshrined in the Ming Dynasty ancestral temple.
He was also the first strategist under Emperor Chengzu Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty.
An ancient physiognomist commented on this person as having inverted triangle eyes, looking like a sick tiger, and having a bloodthirsty nature.
There are even rumors that he once locked a dragon into a well in Shuntian Prefecture.
This is a legendary figure in the Ming Dynasty.
But how did this person get involved?
He has been dead for hundreds of years.
Could it be that he knew hundreds of years ago that something would happen today?
This is fucking bullshit!
Countless thoughts flashed through Lin Qingsheng's mind in an instant. He looked at the puppet, waiting for it to give a positive answer.
"Yes, it is the black-robed Prime Minister Yao Guangxiao. I have already given you the message. The next time I come, you will have to pay me."
The puppet didn't seem to be ready to say what the reward would be this time. He stretched out his right hand and gently patted his left hand:
"This incarnation will stay with you. When the time comes, I will come to find you again."
"Stay with me? Aren't you afraid that I will use your avatar for experiments?"
Lin Qingsheng made no secret of his intention to use Wen Zhengming's incarnation for experiments. He wanted to see what the attitude of the puppet in front of him was.
Moreover, when he saw the puppet through a telescope by the Jialing River, his first thought was to catch the puppet and study what it was.
I guess those old professors are more anxious than him.
The puppet was not angry when he heard this, but just smiled strangely and said: "It's not that I underestimate you, you may not have this ability."
Wen Zhengming was telling the truth. He was still unclear about how the skill settings would work.
The skill is set to be effective only when the attack is ten levels higher than the puppet. This judgment may take two forms. One is that as long as the attack strength is higher than ten levels of the puppet, it will be effective. The other is that there must be a level, and the level must be higher than ten levels of the puppet to hurt the puppet.
If it is the former, then Lin Qingsheng still has a chance, but if it is the latter, then there is no need to think about it.
You're not even a player, you're probably just thinking about peaches.
"Besides, it's just an incarnation. It's just a matter of moving your fingers. If you want to study it, go ahead." The puppet said indifferently.
“Let’s go!”
As the strange sound fell, the puppet in the interrogation room suddenly tilted its neck and dropped its hands, as if it was dead, completely... motionless.
Lin Qingsheng stood up suddenly, stretched out his hand and patted the puppet, but there was no response.
And that feeling...it was as if the thing in front of me was really just a rag doll that looked a little weird.
Things are getting weirder and weirder.
Lin Qingsheng wasn't even sure whether the person he had communicated with before had left.
Xiao Zhao walked in at this time, looked at the strange puppet slumped on the interrogation chair, and said to Lin Qingsheng cautiously: "Boss, do we really want to use it for experiments?"
Lin Qingsheng touched the material of the puppet and did not answer Xiao Zhao's question. Instead, he asked a question:
"Aren't you curious about what they are?"
"Curious, but..."
Xiao Zhao hesitated and pointed at the puppet, not knowing what to say.
Lin Qingsheng glanced at Xiao Zhao and said:
"No buts, the real owner doesn't mind. Didn't those professors want to do research last time? We can ask them to bring more students to do research together. It will be great experimental material."
Xiao Zhao was stunned and looked at the puppet, a little afraid that it would suddenly stand up.
“This… this…”
"What the hell, find someone to back up the video and records for me, and have everyone sign a confidentiality agreement, and book me a flight to Shuntianfu tonight."
Lin Qingsheng cursed in frustration.
"Yes!" Xiao Zhao lowered his head after being scolded.
Lin Qingsheng, who really couldn't feel the difference, let go of the puppet in his hand, smiled at Xiao Zhao and said:
"Why worry so much? Tell those professors not to be polite. Just be ruthless. If you break something, someone will send you a better one."
"Yes!" Xiao Zhao looked at the puppet and said like a punching bag.
