Jade steps
"Wait! Sir!" Eliza lifted her skirt and tried to catch up with Wuci.
Wu Ci, who had respect for others and courtesy engraved in his subconscious, stopped where he was when he heard her shout. He stopped the black cat from pulling him away, and then he slowly put on a humble smile and turned around to ask, "May I ask how I can help you before I leave, Miss Eliza?"
The black cat beside him saw his behavior, but didn't say much. He quietly and sensibly stepped aside, but secretly mocked him without any malice and stuck out his tongue, showing great disdain. It was obviously dissatisfied with his hypocritical gentleman style of wasting time and energy pretending to be a good person when talking to an ordinary person who could be crushed to death.
Eliza knew that this was an opportunity for her to speak, and quickly said to Wu Ci, "You are too polite, sir. I just want to ask, how long will we stay here? I have to go to Sky University every two months... If it takes a long time, can I keep my student status after I get out?"
Student status? I really don’t know this word.
Although the status of a spiritualist is high, and Wu Ci is also the executive officer of Zhengshanhe, he is definitely qualified to have a university retain a student's enrollment. Moreover, Eliza is going to study at Sky University in Sky City, which belongs to Sky Group and is equivalent to a branch department of his subordinate department.
But the problem is that Zhen Shanhe made him the executive officer on purpose to play a trick on him. His identity as executive officer is just a title, different from other executive officers.
Other CEOs may not have subordinate departments, but at least they have subordinate power, but Wu Ci does not. It seems that other CEOs know more and have more authority than him.
In other words, although Zhen Shanhe did not put Wu Ci in electronic handcuffs like he did to other executives, he did not give him the same rights as other executives, causing Wu Ci to not even know what he could do specifically.
Wu Ci wanted Eliza to keep her student status, but if he couldn't make it in the future, he might have to defect. Even if he arranged for Eliza to keep her student status, she would not be able to go to college and would be labeled as his accomplice, directly starting out as a wanted criminal worldwide, which was even more confusing than Wu Ci when he woke up 20 years ago to find himself a wanted criminal.
It is not easy to get into a university these days. Who knows how much effort people put in? Wu Ci had gone through such a difficult time before, and he was reluctant to let Eliza, who was still a child in terms of age, end up like him.
...it won't have much impact if you bring it with you.
What's more... he could deliberately not make the reason for Eliza's arrival in Sky City too reasonable, so that they could find out that it was him, the actor, who was "too kind", which would be beneficial to the character he planned to establish in the Seven Sins Council and the Jade Golden Stage.
The advantages outweigh the disadvantages, so you can bring it.
Wu Ci pretended to think for a moment, then looked up at Eliza reluctantly, his eyes filled with hope and approval. He finally made a decision, and said softly, "Miss Eliza, if you don't mind, please come with me, and take the psychic master who hasn't woken up yet. We are going to Sky City now, and you can report on time."
His words did not reveal any flaws in front of Eliza and Black Cat.
Eliza was very touched and thought he was a good man.
The black cat, who knew his original body and had a high degree of compatibility with Wu Ci, knew immediately that this "kindness" meant that Wu Ci had other plans.
"Wu Ci" will respect others, but will never care about them. So all this must be just for the sake of profit.
Black Cat immediately started playing the villain to help Wu Ci shape his character, and angrily accused Wu Ci, "I don't agree! You were pretending to be arrogant to go to the trial, and you might even be tortured by Sky City for acting more realistically. And you actually want to bring this burden with you? Even if you bring her there, everyone's tickets are recorded. How is she going to explain how she got to Sky City alive when everyone in her carriage was 'dead'?"
After hearing this, Eliza "understood" the circumstances under which Wu Ci still cared about her, and quickly apologized, "No... there's no need to be like this, it's just a small matter, don't bother you! I'll just stay here!"
Wu Ci, who understood her meaning, chuckled and shook his head. "Don't worry about the questions that may arise, Miss Eliza. You will not be embarrassed by anyone... I can always protect the citizens of the Empire. This is the goal I have sacrificed everything for."
"…That's not what I meant. I'm not worried about whether I will be embarrassed, sir. I'm just a little worried about you…"
"I don't need anyone to worry about me." Wu Ci interrupted her.
Seeing his expression suddenly turn cold, Eliza wisely said nothing more.
If Dark Star City is a regionalized city with a clear gap between the rich and the poor and shrouded in shadows, then Sky City is a complete future city.
The main body of that urban area is silvery white, with tall buildings rising into the clouds. The artificial light at the top illuminates the entire city, making it clean, tidy and bright.
This is the private property of Sky Group. The headquarters of Sky Group is also located here. People coming and going are all employees with the Sky Group logo on their clothes.
Eliza and Black Cat mixed in with the crowd of surviving passengers as they left, while Wu Ci nailed himself back to the stand and was covered with a black cloth and carried away by staff.
When he had the chance to see his surroundings again, he was already locked in a pure white confinement room.
There are absolutely no gaps in the confinement room. It even feels like it has no doors or windows and is completely closed.
The man who lifted the black cloth covering the display cabinet was wearing the uniform of a senior executive of the Sky Group. When he saw the tragic scene where Wu Ci's blood was almost flooding the display cabinet, he was stunned for a few seconds and saluted Wu Ci solemnly.
"Thank you for coming here, Mr. Executive. On behalf of all the officers of the Sky City Special Management Bureau, I thank you again for coming."
"The time for blocking surveillance is short. To make a long story short, the subordinate is a man of Director Zhen Shanhe, and now he is openly a middle-high level leader of Yu Jinjie. According to reliable information, Yu Jinjie, who has never shown his face, will have a meeting with the Seven Sins Council in three days for unknown reasons.
While you are waiting for trial disguised as Pride, we will create an opportunity for you to escape. At that time, you will need to find a way to lure out the members of the Seven Sins Council hiding in Sky City, and successfully infiltrate them as Pride, join the meeting three days later, and get the information about the Jade Golden Stage and the Seven Sins Council. "
"I understand," Wu Ci slowly raised his head, ignoring the blood that flowed out of his trachea after he spoke, and smiled gently: "...Does the director have any other arrangements?"
The man shook his head, then nodded uncertainly. He opened his mouth and was about to say something when a red light of information flashed from his bionic eye, and his expression suddenly changed.
"Sir Executor! I just received news that Yu Jinjie came here for some unknown reason! The specific plan will not change after my death, so please do not reveal any flaws!"
Wu Ci frowned, but before he could ask, he saw the man immediately pull out a hand grenade from his pocket and pull the ring without hesitation.
"Bang".
The man exploded.
The blood and flesh mixed with the fragments of the grenade spread out, without breaking the high-composite glass in front of Wu Ci, but only covering the outer surface with a layer of blurry blood. The blood flowing from Wu Ci on the inner wall made everything outside unclear.
Several figures walked in.
"He committed suicide."
A man said.
Another man said: "Arrogant has a reputation for this. He is not famous for his ability, but for his tongue. He can seduce anyone to death. Be careful not to believe anything he says."
"Everyone, get out." A voice interrupted them from the front. In the context, he was quite prestigious among the crowd, and it was obvious that he was the most senior among the group. He must be the mysterious Yu Jinjie who suddenly came over.
The voice was very pleasant, like the bass of a cello. But Wu Ci felt that it was somehow familiar, as if he had heard this voice before, and it was often heard calmly and calmly, from the perspective of an elder, while chuckling and lecturing him.
Layer upon layer of figures retreated, leaving only that one figure standing in front of the glass.
The glass opened automatically, revealing the man's figure.
He was a mature man of a certain age, with a mixed ancestry as shown by his deep eyebrows and light eyes. He was wearing a double-breasted suit like a fussy gentleman from the last century, a dark grey fur coat that reached his ankles, and his hands with gemstone rings were placed on the hands in front of him, standing quietly in front of the display stand.
His temples are gray, but all his hair is neatly combed back. The fine wrinkles at the corners of his eyes are the result of time, like the charming flaws of a work of art, which enhance his reassuring charm. Whoever sees him will definitely sigh that he must be a humble, polite and knowledgeable gentleman.
A closer look revealed that his attire was similar to Wu Ci's customary attire, and even his gentle temperament was somewhat similar.
"When I heard them mention arrogance, I thought it was somewhat familiar. Now I see that it is not a fake."
The nails that pierced his limbs on the display stand automatically fell out, and even the [Spirit System] on his chest that locked the flow of spiritual energy was directly put into the display stand. Wu Ci lost his support and fell directly to the metal floor with a thud.
A silk handkerchief was thrown at his face, and from the witch's angle, only a pair of low-key, matte leather shoes could be seen approaching him.
"That's ridiculous, Wuci. I don't remember ever teaching you that."
A soothing and pleasant voice like the bass of a cello came from above: "Whether at the gambling table or anywhere else, I ask you to maintain your dignity. Only with dignity can you gain people's respect. People who lose their dignity will only be despised by others."
This is not Yu Jinjie at all... this is Yu Ping... Yu Sanye who died in an accident in the newspaper twenty years ago.
Wu Ci hadn't felt this way for a long time. The intimate and gentle preaching always made him feel that he was being treated with contempt like a pet.
He was grateful for what Yuping taught him, which benefited him all his life, but he was more disgusted with it.
He hated, no, it should be said that he hated, he hated people like Yuping.
Such a person who is born noble has a future without having to work hard. He can take a break from his job to pursue a hobby, become a gambler openly, and then transfer the excess emotions to him at will, forcing him to accept it like a pet.
What's even more embarrassing is that Yuze had asked for his opinion at the beginning, and he agreed to all of this voluntarily just because following Yuze could allow him to have enough food to eat.
Yupei did nothing wrong. He had the capital to vent his sympathy recklessly, and he was not bad to Wuci. It was Wuci who was bad. Wuci was grateful for everything Yupei gave him, and never denied his ugly malice towards Yupei.
Wuci is a greedy wolf who can never be tamed like a dog. Even if he is a dog in front of Yuping, he is a dog who doesn't know what is good for him. After eating a piece of meat, he wants more, blames people for being born human, and hates people for standing in a high position to give him alms.
[Blood and Flesh] The flesh buds wriggled like worms, weaving densely to repair the wound. Wu Ci slowly stood up and took off the faceless white mask on his face, revealing a pale and gloomy face. "How did you recognize me?"
Some of his medium-length hair was stained with his blood, and strands of it stuck wetly to his eyebrows, making a silent shadow hang around him.
Yuze tapped the ground with the tip of his cane. "I will not mistake you, Wuci. You are my most important, most outstanding, and most beloved child, even if you have a different body and put on more disguises."
"What makes me happiest is that you are alive and willing to come to me. It doesn't matter what the reason is, no matter what you have paid or what means you have used."
Wu Ci's face was expressionless when he heard this. He was as cold as a drowned ghost that just crawled out of the water. He did not pretend to be gentle in front of Yu Ping, but let the malicious vortex run wild. "So, you faked your death and fabricated an identity of Yu Jinjie to escape from Zhen Shanhe's hands."
You lived and watched me become the clown of the whole world.
Wu Ci did not utter this sentence.
Yu Ze was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled without warning, "Are you being coquettish to me? Witch words?"
"You don't call me like before. Are you blaming me for not saving you? So you're mad at me?" He seemed very pleased, and his chest was shaking with surprise because of his low laughter.
He smiled and waved his hands, "Sorry, I just think you're a little too cute. You used to follow me in silence for months without saying a word. But after becoming a wanted criminal, you became talkative and now you've even learned to get angry with me."
"I don't think so." Wu Ci said softly.
He finally suppressed his ill intentions, picked up his handkerchief, lowered his head, and wiped the blood off his face bit by bit.
Wu Ci did not lie, he did not think that way.
Yuze had no obligation to save him, and it was understandable that he became a clown to the world. Wuci knew clearly what kind of creatures people were, and he also knew clearly that people in high positions would never regard him as an inferior person of the same status, so he never had such naive delusion.
What he cared about was that Yupei came from the Sky Group that killed him, had seen his vicious appearance, and had witnessed all his unbearable experiences - and he still remembered them all.
Yuping taught him that people need to be respectable at all times and cannot leave any stains. Otherwise, they will never be respected and will always have their ugly past to be laughed at and used as material to attack them.
Therefore, Yuze and Zhen Shanhe must both die... As long as they are alive, Wu Ci will recall his pain every second, and he cannot tolerate two such people living.
The latter part was roughly written after cutting the outline. The outline, plot, characters, and settings were all cut, and many pitfalls were skipped. The ending was just for the sake of the ending. It was very hasty and stiff. If you mind, please don't continue buying it and stop here.
After finishing this article, I will write a side story about the escape period 20 years ago. The side story is not closely related to the previous one, so you can just read the side story without reading the ending later.
Because the reality is really unbearable, I will not write for the time being after finishing this book. If I can hold on for another year without any unexpected events, I should have the opportunity to work full-time.
So I'd like to recommend the pre-collection of "I've Been Heard That I'm a Traitor". I'm going to go to that channel to try and see if I can make a full-time living there.
Here is the text:
[A powerful female protagonist with a strong desire for control and a fascination for everyone. A ruthless and powerful female protagonist x an emperor with Stockholm syndrome]
An Nian traveled into a male-oriented power-plot novel called "The Emperor's Plot". This novel tells the story of how the male protagonist ascended the throne at a time of internal and external troubles, cleaned up treacherous ministers and powerful ministers, overthrew the queen mother, and finally succeeded in ruling the country.
Unfortunately, An Yan just happened to be transformed into the chief treacherous minister who was to be eliminated in the "Nine Clans Elimination Game" - the prime minister who was dressed as a man.
According to the plot, after being found guilty, her identity as a woman will be discovered, she will be humiliated as a military prostitute, and then be executed prematurely.
An Ni looked at the male protagonist who was still hiding his talents and pretending to be a fool emperor, and then looked at his cronies in the court, and decided to go all out and turn the male protagonist into a real puppet.
However……
The Queen Mother and the concubines in the harem: Why didn’t Anlang come to the harem to listen to music today?
Civil and military officials: Prime Minister An is the wise leader we want to follow!
The people and the army: They only know how to be kind to An Xiang, but do not know the orders of the king.
Enemy general: If it weren't for An's dislike, Chu would have been able to take advantage of it easily...
The emperors of the enemy countries: What did the emperor of Chu do to make such a great talent like An Ni follow him? No, we must find a way to capture the emperor of Chu and let An Ni use himself as a hostage, so that An Ni can become my man!
By the way, if there is anything good in the country, send it to Mr. An Ni urgently within 800 km to cultivate our relationship in advance. I must let him feel how good I am!
The male protagonist who was bullied by An Yan and reborn, ended up with Stockholm syndrome: It turns out that you are the one who secretly supports the Chu State... You punish me, control me, imprison me, and torture me. It must be for me, right? The beating is on my body, but the pain is in your heart! What's wrong with you? You just love me too much!
Initial disgust (dark crawling): I cannot let people think that I am a traitor, I must protect the world!
Later An Ni (with a healthy and confident smile): I am a treacherous minister, and I want to protect my world!
Note:
Stockholm syndrome, also known as hostage identification syndrome, refers to an emotional connection in which the victim develops feelings (such as sympathy, identification, admiration, love, dependence, etc.) towards the perpetrator during the crime process, forms a harmonious and friendly relationship, and even helps the perpetrator in return. It includes unhealthy psychological phenomena such as worship of the strong, survival consciousness, and obedience in the face of death threats.
Reading Guide:
*I am a local dog, so I have the delusion that the heroine is the strongest in the world, and everyone wants her but cannot get her.
*A woman who studies literature and is popular with both men and women. Lei's escape.
＊I just like the script in which the male protagonist gets a sadistic message, and the female protagonist gets angry and pinches his waist, knocks him half dead, and then orders him not to die. What can the female protagonist do wrong? She just loves him too much.
* I like the heroine who is in a high position and is both civil and military, vicious, ruthless, autocratic, controlling, aggressive, but mature, reliable, and very charismatic. Even all the protagonists in the column are such villains, so don't have other expectations, and run away if you don't like it.
*It is said that the IQ of the characters depends on the IQ of the author, but I am stupid, this is just an attempt, and it is purely for fun, don't use your brain.
＊If you pass by and find that the food is not to your liking, there is no need to kick other people’s bowls. Please respect the sexual preferences of the public and work together to maintain unpopular topics.
