Chapter 26: Tentacle Monster, I Don’t Like It
Chi Liu came back to his senses and looked meaningfully at Secretary Wen who was still awake in the middle of the night. He then glanced at the knife whose blade looked like flowing green water, and simply stood there with his arms folded, waiting for an explanation.
Secretary Wen opened his mouth several times to say something, and several reasonable and legitimate reasons flashed through his mind. In the end, his shoulders slumped, and he looked away with guilt and remorse: "…..Sorry, I can't say it."
After a pause, he promised anxiously and seriously: "But I promise that I have never done anything that breaks the moral and legal bottom line!"
He is a law-abiding citizen of the vacation world! QAQ
After a long silence, Chi Liu shrugged and said, "Okay." He stretched and passed by Secretary Tongwen.
Secretary Wen's body stiffened, but Chi Liu didn't care. He just threw the strange finger bone into the glass jar and turned to walk towards the bedroom.
Halfway through the walk, he turned around and smiled: "This knife is quite beautiful. Hmm..." He glanced at Secretary Wen's green eyes in the moonlight and said as if jokingly: "The color is quite similar to your eyes."
Secretary Wen, whose forehead was sweating profusely, almost fell to the ground: "!!!"
What is Xiaochi's background? How can he be so perceptive?
Chi Liu: "Go to bed early, we still have to go to the amusement park tomorrow afternoon."
After saying that, he yawned and went back to the bedroom - as long as it does not break the law or violate the moral bottom line, friends can do whatever they want.
What's wrong with him swinging a super-middle school-style knife that you can't even tell what it's made of in the living room in the middle of the night? Secretary Wen is just a weak and harmless secretary who loves the second dimension culture! He didn't hurt anyone!
What's more - Chi Liu leaned against the door, lowered his eyes and smiled helplessly - even if he noticed something was wrong: Secretary Wen, the boxes, and even... his reservist boyfriend who disappeared without a trace half a month after being shot.
But he had no way of feeling any resistance, vigilance or disgust towards them.
It was as if the instinct stored in his body long ago was telling him that they were people he could trust unconditionally.
Chi Liu trusted the judgment of his own consciousness, only looked forward and never struggled, so he went to bed and soon fell into a sweet dream.
The frail secretary in the living room froze in place with a big knife in her hand, her eyes wide open in disbelief: He passed the test just like that? !
…
The next morning, Chi Liu went to the Mengxia District Police Station first.
He found Captain Zheng and asked, "If it's convenient for you to tell me, I'd like to ask, what is the result of the investigation into the suspect who hid in the ceiling ventilation duct and wanted to shoot me more than half a month ago?"
He was rarely so distracted that day, and subconsciously trusted Chu Qi, and went straight home to rest. A few days later, Captain Zheng called him to tell him that the first round of interrogation of the prisoner Chu Qi had brought to the police station had been completed, and he was asked to make up his statement.
There is no one who would not care about someone trying to kill him.
After he came to the vacation world, apart from doing heroic deeds twice as a caring citizen, he had never offended anyone. He couldn't understand why someone would want to kill him in that way.
Captain Zheng seemed to be very busy recently, with dark circles under his eyes. There was a cup of strong and bitter tea on the table. His cold face showed a rare apology: "I'm sorry, Mr. Chi, that is a confidential case and is still under investigation. We cannot disclose the suspect's identity, appearance, or motive."
Chi Liu shrugged, not feeling disappointed: "Okay."
Captain Zheng looked thoughtfully at the good-looking young man with a gentle temperament in front of him.
Chi Liu probably didn't know that the secretary who was responsible for protecting him later sent many clones.
Without exception, they were all sent by the players to kill Chi Liu.
Those clones seemed to have been brainwashed since they were created, and no information could be obtained from their interrogation.
Fortunately, Secretary Wen later sent the clone's real body, the base traitor who had undergone plastic surgery and killed Wen Xi's teammates.
During the interrogation, the man said that he escaped when a large number of players were arrested, and he didn't know where the last group of players and the clones had moved to. When asked why the players sent people to kill Chi Liu, the man just stammered: "Because of a prophecy book written by players with precognitive abilities. They called it "Player Game Manual."
When asked about the specific content of the prophecy and its relationship with Chi Liu, the man was not clear. The players' top leaders did not tell him about it.
Captain Zheng's brain was burning with anxiety as he sorted out the clues. Before Chi Liu left, he took out the metal bracelet from the evidence bag and repeated his instructions with some concern, "Of course you can live a normal life. But be especially wary of people wearing this kind of bracelet."
With Secretary Wen's protection, those clones are temporarily unable to harm Chi Liu, but the players' obsession with killing Chi Liu is so deep that it is possible that they will attack Chi Liu personally even at the cost of exposing themselves.
Chi Liu looked at the metal ring thoughtfully again, agreed with a smile, and thanked him before leaving.
…
After leaving the Public Security Bureau, Chi Liu took a taxi directly to the amusement park to meet up with Secretary Wen.
The amusement park was especially lively on Sundays, with families of three having fun everywhere.
Xiang Xiang, who had never been to an amusement park or seen so many humans, shyly hid behind Secretary Wen, but his blue eyes were surprisingly bright!
In order to welcome the arrival of children on vacation, the amusement park is filled with puppets and floats, and various children's songs are played in different play areas on a 24-hour loop.
Chi Liu was walking among the crowd wearing loose casual clothes, and there was nothing unusual about her abdomen.
He always believed that if he wanted to have fun, he should have fun. So he quickly put the ominous shooting case out of his mind and said to Xiang Xiang and Secretary Wen generously, "Just take whatever you like. I'll pay!"
Even if he sets his eyes on the most expensive figurine in the park store, he will buy it without blinking an eye!
It feels so good to be a reserve rich man!
Xiang Xiang thanked him quietly and obediently. Secretary Wen felt a little guilty about what happened last night, so he was too embarrassed to respond. He just kept clicking his glasses - he was prone to doing that when he was nervous.
Chi Liu didn't care and just walked happily among the crowd.
After passing the "Small Boat Adventure" project, a huge emerald artificial lake came into their eyes. The lake was full of small islands planted with flowers and trees and built with cartoon scenes. Tourists will pass by these attractions in a small boat on the lake.
Secretary Wen suddenly stopped and pointed at the lake. His emerald pupils were full of nervousness. He said, "Well, do you think it's actually quite cute?"
Chi Liu looked confused: "Huh?"
Does Secretary Wen want to try this project?
This project is not exciting. It just collects cartoon characters from the theme park. Almost all the people who play it are very young children, especially little girls in princess dresses.
Secretary Wen’s destiny is to be a two-dimensional girl with pink hair and twin ponytails. Is she also going to promote this kind of thing?
Secretary Wen was busy gesturing towards the lake, "It's just like this, a emerald green lake - although it's not as lucky as this lake to have beautiful flowers, trees and islands to decorate it, but even if it's a little incomplete, it can still be called lovely, right!"
The green lake is so cute and not scary at all, right!
Chi Liu, who didn't understand at all, twitched his lips, but still managed to say: "...Ah. Right."
Because if I don’t answer yes, Secretary Wen will look like she’s about to fall apart!
Secretary Wen then pushed his glasses up and smiled with relief - he knew it! NPCs would not hate or be afraid of a beautiful little lake that was harmless to humans and animals!
Xiang Xiang held up a handful of marshmallows and looked at Secretary Wen thoughtfully, then tilted his head as if he had figured something out.
Passing by the small aquarium in the theme park, Xiang Xiang grabbed Chi Liu's sleeve in the jellyfish area. He looked up nervously, pointing at the transparent and gorgeous jellyfish in the glass box, and organized his words unskillfully: "Would you hate that? The color is different from the ones here, blue, and the defective jellyfish that can't grow venom glands no matter how hard they try, would you hate it?"
Chi Liu blinked in surprise. Although he didn't understand what Xiang Xiang wanted to say, he still gently touched the top of his head and said with a smile, "Jellyfish are beautiful to begin with. To humans, aren't jellyfish without venom glands even cuter?" After a pause, he pointed to the tourists around who were admiring the jellyfish and said, "Look, everyone likes it very much."
Xiangxiang's blue eyes suddenly lit up, and he stammered excitedly, "Do you really think it's beautiful and cute?"
Chi Liu bent her eyes and nodded, and Xiang Xiang felt that she was about to faint with happiness!
They both got answers that satisfied them, and Secretary Wen and Xiang Xiang's anxieties were instantly forgotten.
They had fun all the way and finally arrived at the "Wonder Roller Coaster" project.
The roller coaster can rotate almost 360° around the undulating artificial mountain, which is very exciting. In the center of the mountain, there is a huge dark blue tentacle monster that is made to intensify the exciting experience of tourists.
Chi Liu gently stroked his abdomen - since he was prone to vomiting, it would be better for him not to play this kind of game.
Just as he was about to let Secretary Wen and Xiang Xiang go play, Secretary Wen had a subtle look on his face. Amid the screams of the tourists who had already entered, he pointed at the tentacle monster and asked, "... Would you like this? Something bigger, bluer... and more terrifying."
Chi Liu glanced at it, smiled and said without hesitation: "I don't like it very much."
He is not some niche tentacles enthusiast, his taste is very common!
Secretary Wen: “….”
Sorry boss, he tried his best!
Chi Liu: "Do you like that?" I didn't realize Secretary Wen's hobbies are so wide-ranging?
Secretary Wen: "I don't like it!" After a pause, Secretary Wen's eyes flickered for a moment. Taking advantage of the boss's absence, he, a social animal, rarely complained about his boss: "It's normal that we don't like it! That kind of tentacle monster is the worst! Really!"
It just exploits employees!
At this time, a doll man wearing a bear mask passed by them, holding a bunch of hydrogen balloons in the shape of cute animals.
Xiang Xiang suddenly looked at Chi Liu's belly in surprise: The baby said that he felt a bear, he liked bears, and wanted to...
But he couldn't tell Xiaochi that he heard the baby talking...
His little face scrunched up in distress.
Suddenly, the puppet stopped and found that his bear headgear was missing! At the same time, a bear balloon was also missing!
Who the hell is that!
…….
Chi Liu stared in amazement at the little bear headgear and a little bear hydrogen balloon that were flying towards him accurately, as well as the puppet man chasing after them... He just stood there frozen, at a loss as to what to do.
What’s going on?
A guilty baby sensed his mother's emotions and realized that he seemed to have done something wrong, and dared not say a word.
Secretary Wen, who had witnessed everything, twitched his lips. Just as he was about to take out his wallet to help his friend solve the problem, Chu Qi's voice suddenly exploded in his mind:
"Find a way to remind Xiaochi to come home early. I want to show him the surprise I prepared for him."
Secretary Wen: “….”
The boss came back from his business trip so soon this time!
And, how many times have I said it - his brain is not a public cafeteria! No!
