Chapter 14 Chaos
"I'm the one chasing you."
"The first time I saw you was during the military competition on campus, on the desert map. In the end, all the other students had given up, but you were the only one who persisted. You stared at the flag with a desire for victory in your eyes. It was as if you were burning with fire, and the light could burn my eyes, but I couldn't look away, even for a second."
Between the second and first floors under the ship's deck, the captain artificially created an extra floor. It was extremely narrow and short, with a faint musty smell in the air. This was where the stowaways, who had paid a lot of money to get on board, rested.
Shen Yan and Valen, one is a dead man and the other is an experimental subject on the run from the laboratory, so it is not appropriate for them to appear on the deck at the moment.
What’s more, Ana Shen released Valen, and not only were the people in the laboratory in a panic, but the dignitaries who learned the news also wanted to run away from the ship on the spot.
It must be a mess up there.
With such a big change happening, the cowardly and powerful people will probably contact the outside world today. Once the rescue team arrives and the crowd is evacuated, Ruan Zhixian will not be able to play his humanity game anymore.
The key points in the plot are Valen and the bomb.
The disappearance of the former meant that the Colosseum might not be able to continue operating, and Ruan Zhixian lost the opportunity to get to know him, and the chaos caused by Valen on the ship would not have occurred.
The latter prevented Ruan Zhixian from having a perfect ending to the game on the boat.
Criminals like him are somewhat obsessive-compulsive. A "game" must have a beginning, development, climax and ending, and all forms should be under his control. Anything that will disrupt his plan will not be accepted and needs to be corrected and adjusted.
Now that Shen Yan has opened his third eye and ruined his plan, I wonder what Ruan Zhixian thinks.
Angry? Or happy?
have no idea.
Maybe none of them, after all, Ruan Zhixian is a rather weird pervert.
Valen, who was holding Ana Shen, noticed his distraction and thought that his boyfriend was immersed in their sweet memories of love, so he couldn't help but hug him tighter.
"continue."
Ana Shen came back to his senses and casually grabbed Valen's big hand and fiddled with it.
There are calluses on Valen's hands. In this society, the fastest way to move up to the upper class is to join the army. Valen had been striving for this goal before participating in the experiment, and his physical fitness was very good.
Shen Yan is a healthy adult male, but Valen's super double door can catch his groin and lift him up directly.
So his identity cannot be a combatant.
Shen Yan continued to make up: "I studied federal language and literature in the military academy. After I returned, I immediately asked someone for your contact information, but you don't like men and always ignore me. You never checked the love letters I wrote to you."
"I went to your school to look for you, but you told me to get lost, saying that I was disgusting to see, and that you didn't like useless trash like me."
At this point, Ana Shen glared at Valen with resentment and anger.
"I'm sorry." Valen smiled, and the vibration from his chest was very low, "but you still love me."
Ana Shen sighed, raised the corners of her mouth sweetly again, raised her head to kiss his chin, and after a quick kiss, she shrunk back into his arms.
Valen laughed again: "And then?"
Ana Shen played the role of a delicate wife not very skillfully, thinking about the romance novels he had read, and said with a smile:
"I was sad for a while and wanted to forget you, but your stubborn eyes would always appear in my mind day or night... I couldn't forget you, and instead I drove myself crazy."
“The instructor and I have a good relationship. Seeing that I was not in good condition, he reserved the quota for external guidance for me. I entered your school to be your teacher, and then…” Ana Shen paused, “Anyway, after this and that, we slept together.”
Valen heard the unfinished meaning in Shen Yan's words.
It’s impossible for him to suddenly speak softly to someone he hates, let alone go to bed with him, so Ana Shen is likely to have taken some tough and shameful measures to force him to be with him.
I didn't tear him apart at that time, and Ana Shen was able to live well until now and come to save him, which means that he is not completely unwilling to this relationship.
This is love.
Complex, changeable, confusing, and yet so fascinating.
Valen carefully analyzed himself in Shen Yan's story, lifted the hem of Shen Yan's clothes and got in. Shen Yan was very relaxed, his muscles were soft and felt good.
But he was too thin, and one of his hands covered most of his waist and abdomen. He didn't dare to think about what kind of determination he made at that time, and how he ate him.
Shen Yan thought about Valen's reaction when he got to this point. Valen was much better than he thought. He just touched him twice and had no intention of doing it with him.
But as a stupid and delicate wife, Ana Shen cannot act as if he is at ease. He should always be longing for Valen. Any action Valen imposes on him can cause a huge tsunami.
Ana Shen panted a few times in restraint, pressed Valen's hand and shook his head slightly, "...No, wait until we get back."
Although he said so, the hook hidden in Valen's eyes clearly said to continue.
He needs him.
Valen was in a subtle mood. A certain swelling emotion seemed substantial, his senses became clearer and clearer, and there was an inexplicable sweetness on the tip of his tongue.
He took his hand back with some malicious intent, and saw Ana Shen was stunned for a moment, then he lowered his eyes dejectedly, rubbed his arm with his furry head, and whispered: “You were not so obedient before.”
Thinking of something, his lover's face slowly turned red. She looked up at him with a flickering look in her eyes. "Do you really want to wait until we get back?"
Valen held his breath, his mind went blank, and his heart seemed to stop beating.
He turned over suddenly and pressed Shen Yan under him. The overly narrow space and the not-so-strong iron sheet creaked under the heavy load.
Ana Shen looked at him quietly, and the two looked at each other in the hot air for a few seconds. A strange atmosphere spread, and his lover pursed his lips and smiled, then slowly closed his eyes.
But he didn't wait for that kiss.
Valen turned over again, jumped off the iron sheet that could barely be called a bed, and hurried out of the door, leaving only a hasty sentence, "I'll go find something to eat and come back later."
Ana Shen, who was lying on the bed, took a deep breath after confirming that Valen had really left.
Ana Shen’s face was filled with horror, and he covered his chest in shock.
Oh shit!
Did Valen's body modification also change that thing?
This is outrageous!
Ana Shen had originally planned to find a random excuse to part ways with Valen after getting off the boat, but now he couldn’t resist it anymore.
The environment on the ship is not good, and Valen is unlikely to do it with him, but if they continue like this, it is hard to say whether they will do it or not.
It's also his fault. Sometimes he gets too excited in acting and loses control, which can easily lead to mistakes if he's not careful.
The fuse of the bomb is already in hand, and staying with Valen will only be more dangerous. Now that Valen is not here, it is a perfect opportunity to leave.
Go! Go now!
Ana Shen held the fuse bomb in his pocket, opened the door and looked around.
The entire passage was cramped and gloomy, and if a cough was a little louder, people around could hear it.
This place was bustling three hours ago, but now it seems like a cemetery.
The sound of guards' footsteps could be heard on the deck. There was news that someone had died outside, so the ship's security had been stepped up and all those who had boarded were being checked.
These illegal immigrants were trembling with fear and dared not even turn over in their beds, for fear that they would be found out and shot.
Every district above District 13 has a wall, and one must have sufficient procedures and a pass to enter legally. For fourth- and fifth-class citizens, the procedures are cumbersome and the requirements are too high, making it impossible to enter through normal channels.
You can only sneak across.
But this aspect is strictly enforced and the guards have the right to execute illegal immigrants on the spot.
Shen Yan does not sneak across the border.
Ana Shen is now a dead man and an illegal resident, so he is more afraid of Valen than the guards.
You can walk on both sides of the passage, Ana Shen took off his shoes and chose to leave in the opposite direction of Valen.
at the same time.
"Hasn't the murderer been found yet?"
"Sorry, I'm afraid it will take a while."
"knew."
Liu Dan frowned, put his hands in his pockets, and stared at the woman lying in the bathtub.
Yami's consciousness was backed up in Area 7, so he wasn't dead, just embarrassed.
She is a high-ranking staff member within the federal system. Killing her would be tantamount to challenging the authority of the entire state apparatus, which is something the capital that controls them absolutely does not want to see.
If anyone can step on the bodyguards who protect them, how can they sleep at night?
Yami gave Liu Dan a strict order, asking her to find the hateful murderer at all costs before the ship arrived.
After the security team finished collecting evidence, Liu Dan had Yami's body stored, lit a cigarette, and went to the monitoring room.
In order to protect the privacy of SVIPs, there are no cameras in all the top-floor rooms, and the video only shows the movements of the white-haired minor after he left the room.
After leaving the top floor, he first went to the preparation area of the Colosseum. After talking to the staff who were still cleaning, he was taken to the recycling area on the next floor.
It was a chaotic situation down there. The fire in the laboratory had burned all the important paper documents that had not been backed up. Many people were coming and going in the corridor, and everyone had an expression of "it's over" on their face.
The suspect took advantage of the chaos to quietly enter the recycling area of the China Unicom laboratory. There were many corpses in the recycling area. He frowned in disgust and stepped back, stopping at the door and looking inside, not knowing what he was looking for.
A minute later, he seemed to be sure that what he was looking for was not here, and he opened the door and left in a daze.
After that, he went to the deck, leaned against the railing, looked at the dark sea, smiled suddenly, and jumped down.
Liu Dan saw the mask of pain.
There is no sound in the video, and the suspect's actions are very strange, even weirder than her grandmother's sleep talking.
If I didn't know, I would have thought he was possessed by a ghost.
The captain of the security team who made way for Liu Dan added respectfully, "The surveillance footage shows signs of being tampered with. The technical department is trying to restore the original footage. No matter what, we will give the higher-ups a satisfactory answer."
Liu Dan nodded: "Thank you for your help, I won't bother you here anymore."
As she spoke, she backed toward the door. When she was about to close it, an idea suddenly occurred to her and she pushed the door open again.
Everyone in the room turned to look at her.
Except for the young man in the corner of the room, who was concentrating on repairing the video.
The back is very familiar.
The look she had just seen.
Liu Dan felt inexplicably nervous and walked over and patted him on the shoulder.
The man turned around, with an ordinary face, and smiled flatteringly, "Hello, what instructions do you have?"
Liu Dan breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay, just continue."
The young man became busy again.
The surveillance footage of the laboratory gradually deformed under his operation, and finally showed a blurry human figure.
The young man unplugged the USB drive and put it in his pocket. He turned to the captain and said, "The person who covered the surveillance is very skilled. Repairing to this extent is already the limit. Captain, do you want to seek support from the headquarters?"
"We'll talk about it later."
The captain narrowed his eyes, trying to make out the features of the figure that looked indistinguishable from a ghost.
The black-haired man, wearing a white coat of a researcher, threatened the two real researchers to take him in the direction of the monster house.
The surveillance of the monster house and the ship are independent of each other, and are only connected to the temporary laboratory. The laboratory was burned down like that, and the local files stored in the laboratory must have been destroyed. It is estimated that those uploaded to the cloud will not escape the hacker's clutches.
The captain really couldn't understand why this guy, with such great abilities, came on board and caused trouble instead of doing something else.
Of course, if the suspicion of causing trouble is ruled out, then he is most likely a pawn of the people participating in the rally, who did this on the ship for some purpose of fighting for power.
Maybe the boy who killed Yami was also related to him.
The power struggle at the top has implicated these ordinary workers.
The guard team is only used to pass the ship's safe navigation review, and the captain's real power only allows him to check the surveillance. Sending people in for questioning might offend some powerful people.
The big guys will figure it out themselves.
The captain patted the young man on the shoulder and yawned.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. Just check here first, have a meal and sleep, and we'll talk about it when you wake up."
The young man said with a straight face: "But..."
Captain: "No buts! You have tried your best, but this matter cannot be solved by trying your best. I say it again, take a good rest, understand!"
The young man forced a smile and said, "Okay, I'll leave after I finish writing the report."
Young people are still too honest.
The captain waved his hand and left with the other team members who were so sleepy that their eyes were full of dark circles.
The young man was the only one left in the monitoring room.
He locked the door, inserted the USB drive again without any expression, switched the page on his laptop, and put on his headphones.
The blurry picture originally shown to the captain is now in high definition.
By controlling the lens size, you can even see the red mole on the earlobe of the person in the picture.
Ruan Zhixian leaned back in his chair with a relaxed look, zoomed in on the screen, and watched Ana Shen as if he was watching a movie.
Watch him come back from the dead, watch him kill the recycler in cold blood, and watch him enter the lab and threaten two hapless researchers.
The Monster House surveillance footage that was said to be impossible to find and restore now appears intact on the computer.
When Ruan Zhixian saw that Shen Yan had deceived the two people into believing that he was the director of the Rose Research Institute, he couldn't help but laughed out loud.
But his ease and joy did not last long.
In the picture, the young man in a white coat nervously opened the coffin lid and then threw himself into the arms of the man who slowly sat up from the coffin.
——"Husband! You..."
Pause, replay.
"husband!"
Pause again and rewind, this time slowing down the playback speed.
"husband……"
Pausing the playback for the last time, Ruan Zhixian watched it frame by frame, and a completely incoherent, Shen Yan's voice came from the headphones.
Some distortion.
But it didn't take much thinking to determine that the person in the picture was the same person who called his name, kissed him, and begged him to go slower yesterday afternoon.
Ruan Zhixian continued playing, the cold light shining on his face, making his ordinary disguise look a bit more ferocious and gloomy.
Watch the end at double speed. The video stops at the moment when Shen Yan and Valen destroy the armory and take away his fuze bomb, and then leave towards the lower deck.
In the last second before Shen Yan disappeared from the screen, a smile of joy and happiness, as if he had seen his old lover again, hung on his lips, as if he loved that person so much that he could die for him.
Ruan Zhixian curled his lips meaningfully, then turned off the surveillance, backed up the video, cleared all the data in the computer, and prepared to leave with the computer.
When the door opened, it seemed to hit something.
Ruan Zhixian lowered his head and saw a service robot that was only as tall as his calf.
The robot opened its storage port and took out a palm-sized bomb with a fuze that was glowing red and had been adjusted to countdown mode.
Countdown, ten minutes.
Ruan Zhixian's fingertips moved nervously, staring straight at the continuously jumping number.
A dangerous red light was reflected in his eyes.
9:55, 9:54, 9:53…
The robot's program detected the stiffness of the person who had obtained it, and thought that he had not seen it, so it extended its telescopic arm a little further, "This is a gift from a neighbor. Your neighbor has something to bring you."
Ruan Zhixian clenched his cold fingertips tightly and asked, "What did he say?"
"Wait a moment, we are broadcasting for you." After the little robot beeped twice, the electronic sound changed to a pleasant young man's voice with a hint of smile.
"Zhixian, it's boring, right?"
"Would you like to play my game?"
-
Ruan Zhixian's hacking ability is like a bug in the original work.
Blaise was no match for him.
If he wanted, he could even directly change stock prices around the world.
But that kind of thing couldn't arouse Ruan Zhixian's interest. If he didn't plan to use it, he wouldn't even bother to turn on the computer.
Shen Yan had never thought of hiding it from Ruan Zhixian from the beginning, and he had no intention of letting the fuse and bomb rot in his hands.
The bomb has two modes, one is Ruan Zhixian's remote control mode, and the other is countdown mode.
The two can coexist, but the countdown takes priority over the remote control.
In other words, once the countdown begins, Ruan Zhixian will only have two choices.
Either detonate the bomb before the countdown ends, or dismantle the bomb to stop the countdown.
Either way, the bomb could not achieve the original effect of detonating the arsenal.
This is a blatant provocation.
Ana Shen stuffed bread into her mouth while crying silently.
Forced by the situation.
If Ruan Zhixian found out that he stole the bomb just to prevent the ship from exploding, it would be considered a form of cowardice and he would definitely be killed easily.
It's not that he has paranoid delusions. There is such a plot in the original book. The friend who was originally in Ruan Zhixian's team did not act according to Ruan Zhixian's wishes because he valued his life. He completed the task in a roundabout way, but was still disliked by Ruan Zhixian.
Kicked out of the team, drained of usefulness, and dead.
Ana Shen swallowed the bread nervously.
Fortunately, these terrifying days will end once we get off the boat.
If Fei Shen listened and bet all his money as he instructed, the money he won from each game should be able to make up for his gambling debts, and then it would not be a problem for him to give him an identity.
And as a dead person, he naturally does not have to pay the outrageous room fee. He can go wherever he wants. The sky is high and the bird flies freely.
As for the so-called game...
There are not so many games to play. It’s just a lie to restrain Ruan Zhixian and make him curious and wait.
If nothing goes wrong, the rescue team will arrive within three days. Isn't it easy for him to survive for three days?
When we get off the boat, the world is so big, who will know who?
Pretending to be a lunatic, he is a handsome guy! He doesn't want to be a lunatic!
"Hey! Come over here to check!"
Ana Shen quickly swallowed the last bite of bread provided for the waiters, mixed into the large group, and walked forward slowly in his waiter's clothes.
Some daring stowaways would wear waiter uniforms and work as waiters, taking risks to earn tips.
As long as the guards are paid enough, they will naturally turn a blind eye.
The waiters and the guards were not qualified to watch last night’s game, and they didn’t know him, so Ana Shen was not afraid of being discovered by them that he had come back to life.
I shouldn't be discovered if I stay in the waiter lounge.
If there really was a rich and powerful person who had nothing better to do and came here to hang out, and happened to spot him...
Ana Shen subconsciously touched the stun gun he had hidden in his pants.
We’ll talk about it when the time comes.
The main feature is to be able to adapt to changing circumstances.
Soon it was Ana Shen’s turn.
He lowered his head, and the bangs of his wig covered most of his face.
The guard looked him up and down and ordered, "Lift your hair."
Ana Shen quickly stuffed a note into the guard’s hand, then obediently lifted her bangs and winked at him.
The other two guards who were checking did not notice the situation here. He quickly glanced at the note, a trace of greed flashed in his eyes, and then he quietly put the note away and let Shen Yan go.
It was a check for ten thousand dollars, and Feishen's name was written on it.
After all the checks were completed, the guards caught five stowaways among the waiters in Area A.
One of them tried to escape and was shot on the spot, and the rest were all taken away.
The nervous waiters started moving again; the ship had not yet docked and they still needed to provide excellent service to the guests.
Shen Yan didn't go. Going on the deck would be seeking death. He was not like Ruan Zhixian, who had a lot of high-tech on him and could disguise himself at any time.
It’s better to rest first.
Ana Shen returned to the empty room and fell asleep in a daze.
I don’t know when I fell asleep, a cold breath came into Shen Yan’s quilt.
Ana Shen woke up immediately, her body stiff, and she dared not move.
"Mother."
A head popped out from behind Ana Shen, its pointed chin resting against the crook of his neck, its face pale, its pupils black and no trace of vitality visible.
A drop of cold and eerie sea water rubbed against Shen Yan's neck, followed by the second and third drops, which were rubbed by the equally cold face and spread.
The cold hands wrapped around Ana Shen's waist, and the hot breath of attachment and obsession was hot, followed by a contradictory, cold boy's voice:
"I miss you so much."
