"The doctor is like the emperor, with the Si Yue being the only one in power. The Black Dragon Gang, the Green Dragon Gang, and the Fire Dragon Gang are like feudal lords. The Han family is like a doctor, not as good as the top but not as bad as the bottom."
"Below the 'Daifu' (a high-ranking official), there are only the 'Shi' (scholars) and the 'Ci' (commoners)."
"So, things are tough for you, and you can't afford to offend anyone. Who would have thought that you could provoke Si Yue in just one afternoon?"
What will happen if we ignore it?
"It's probably because the Han family was implicated. If they didn't offend the Master of Ceremonies himself, there might still be room for maneuver."
"And who is the Master of Ceremonies?"
"Si Yue's nephew, sixteen years old, with fiery red hair, quite easy to recognize."
Fiery red hair? Yan Shi and Zhuang Zhao looked at each other in surprise. It seemed that they had indeed seen someone with red hair.
"Let's go downstairs and take a look." One should take responsibility for one's own actions. The Han family has kindly provided food and lodging, and we can't just stand by and watch them get implicated.
"Could there be redheads among the people my sister was scolding?"
"Ah, I remember, there was a red-haired one," Han Mo answered for Yan Shi.
"Hehe, it seems so." Yan Shi smiled wryly, realizing he had really kicked a hornet's nest.
"Let's go down together."
"No, let's go down and take a look first."
Han Mo stuffed a bunch of talismans that even a novice could use into their pockets.
"If you can't beat them, run away. Don't be stupid and try to fight them head-on."
"Um."
There were more than a dozen people downstairs, and just standing there created a sense of oppression, quite different from the teenagers from before.
Seeing the two of them come downstairs, Red Hair peeked out of the car and pointed to Yan Shi.
"It's her!"
"Take them away!" The guy who seemed to be in charge waved his hand, and several people walked towards the two of them.
"No, you have to let me explain myself a bit."
"There will be plenty of time to explain later," someone actually replied.
"I'm not going to kill you, get in the car, don't waste time."
Yan Shi: You think I'll believe you just because you say so?
Then she and Zhuang Zhao got into the car together.
"Can I ask where you're taking us?" Yan Shi asked cautiously.
"Go see my uncle."
"Isn't your uncle the Si Yue? What are you taking us there for? To barbecue?"
“My uncle is developing an amusement park and needs someone to test ride it. I think you are in good physical condition, so I recommended you to my uncle.”
"Isn't anyone allowed to try out a game? Why are you asking me?"
"Of course, not just anyone can do it. People will die. Many people can't even get past the first level. My uncle got angry at them and just fed them to the zombies."
Yan Shi: Don't say such frightening things so casually!
"Isn't this still going to kill us?"
"This is just a ticket. Whether it leads to heaven or hell is entirely in your hands. If you pass through your uncle's amusement park, you'll be able to walk around in District 9 with your head held high, and your status will be slightly lower than mine." The red-haired master of ceremonies spoke with a smile, his expression natural, showing no sign of dislike or hatred.
Don't you hate me?
"You don't dislike it?"
"But didn't I hit you?"
"Didn't you say there's a cause for every effect? You only started fighting with us after you were hit by the object. I only recommended you to my uncle because I saw how skilled you were."
"Besides, we were just not as good as them. We lost, and that's that. We won't make things difficult for the winner. Besides, if I go to my uncle because I lost a fight, I'll get beaten up again."
Yan Shi: A mysterious thought process.
"Wait, your uncle is an alien, right?" I just heard the Han family's explanation that Si Yue is a fire-powered alien who can burn people out of thin air.
"Yes, that's right."
"He uses his abilities very frequently."
"Hmm, what's wrong?"
"Has there ever been a time when your abilities went out of control or you couldn't control your body?" If the stronger the ability, the greater the backlash on the body, then Si Yue is definitely someone who can be used as a reference.
"No, I don't know. You can just ask my uncle. He's not as fond of burning people as people say. Even if he's angry, he'll give people a chance."
Yan Shi: I don't believe it. Just now you said you'd burn all those demos that didn't even pass the first level!
The car sped along, and Yan Shi no longer had the intention of jumping out. He typed a text message on his phone and sent it to Bu Ke, telling her not to worry too much and that if they completed their mission, they didn't need to wait for them and could just go back.
The car stopped in front of a large villa, and it really was a large villa; the entire area in sight belonged to this family, and it was as big as a park.
On the lawn in the distance, you can see many pieces of equipment whose purpose you don't understand, which makes you feel uneasy.
Zhuang Zhao's scent suddenly changed, Yan Shi put his right hand on his left arm, and Hei Dong's heartbeat quickened.
"There are zombies around here!"
"Yes, my uncle picked out a few of the nicer ones and raised them over there. They're definitely the ones I chose; I sensed their presence as soon as they arrived."
Yan Shi: I should thank you too.
The Master of Ceremonies led the way, and Yan Shi looked around like a country bumpkin entering the Grand View Garden. If Zhuang Zhao hadn't been holding her hand, she might have run off somewhere else.
"This is the first time I've ever seen a big villa. Poverty has limited my imagination and my horizons."
"A house is for living in; whether it's big or small, it doesn't matter."
"How can that be the same? Our understanding of 'small' is 20 or 30 square meters, or 50 or 60 square meters, while the 'small' you're talking about is 200 or 300 square meters."
That's true.
After walking along the long blue brick road and through the long living room, the master of ceremonies led the two directly upstairs to the second floor.
"Uncle, I've brought the person." Sili knocked on the door first, then spoke through the door.
"Come in."
Pushing open the three-meter-high door, the first thing you see upon entering is two pandas eating bamboo.
The panda wasn't inside the room; one entire wall of the room was made of transparent glass, and the panda was on the other side of the glass.
