Chapter 18 Roots
Shen Yan’s plan was simple.
In the first game, he wanted to kill Ruan Zhixian. Even if he failed, Ruan Zhixian would still be interested in him and would not kill him just because he lost the game.
In the second game, he didn't want to play with Ruan Zhixian at all.
He was just an ordinary handsome guy. Without an absolute information advantage and a sure win, he didn't want to go against Ruan Zhixian.
If he failed to beat Ruan Zhixian, all his plans in the first game would be in vain. Ruan Zhixian would most likely lose interest in him and kill him directly.
Running away was the best option he could think of.
Ruan Zhixian, who lost the first game, was hooked by his hook and couldn't stop. In addition, Ruan Zhixian likes gambling and puzzles, so the start of the second game should satisfy him and he is looking forward to it.
Ruan Zhixian will be more serious than the last time.
If he sneaked away and disappeared at this time, Ruan Zhixian's mood would definitely change drastically.
It’s like playing a game halfway through, when you’re about to turn the tables, but your opponent runs away and the game is abandoned.
He just wanted to make Ruan Zhixian agitated.
But no matter whether he was angry, helpless or aggrieved, after Ruan Zhixian guessed the logic and purpose of his actions so far, they all turned into strong interest.
In this way, his ultimate goal was achieved.
——Pretend to be crazy, attract interest, and survive.
Then find an opportunity to run.
Valen was captured and the crisis on the ship was temporarily resolved. In order to find out the real murderer who killed the Minister of Environmental Protection, the ship had to continue sailing and the originally scheduled rescue team would not come.
Only adjustments can be made.
Shen Yan had considered this possibility in the first round, contacted Fei Shen, and quietly sent some food and water to the utility room at the bottom of the boat.
He found this Feng Shui location when he was working as a waiter. There was no surveillance and almost no one came here.
The sleeping environment here is a bit poor, but as long as he can wait until the ship docks, he can take advantage of the situation to get off the ship, leave Ruan Zhixian, and leave this place of trouble.
Moreover, even if Ruan Zhixian had a mysterious identity and was all-powerful, and was able to find him from the vast crowd, he would not kill him as soon as they met based on the interest he had accumulated in the game.
He would have more time to plan.
You win after all.
All this is premised on his being able to slip away.
But now there is a problem.
Brother Gen.
An all-round humanoid self-tracking camera, a cold-blooded, pure black melon-haired guy, and an overly devoted and silent bodyguard.
In the third hour since he was sent by Ruan Zhixian, Ana Shen could no longer bear it, so he turned around and stuffed the dinner plate into Gen’s hands.
"Eat something. You haven't eaten all afternoon. Aren't you hungry?"
With his hands behind his back, he shook his head at an extremely even frequency.
Ana Shen sighed, pulled him to a place in the corner of the corridor where there was no surveillance, and said straight to the point: “What do you want?”
root:"……"
"You are a bodyguard, right? How much is your usual salary? I'll pay double." Shen Yan paused, and said helplessly:
"…I'm not used to having someone follow me when I go to the bathroom. I'll give you double the amount so I can relax for a few minutes, okay?"
Root: “No.”
Shen Yan: “Three times.”
Root: “No.”
Ana Shen smiled silently, “Gen, your boss saved your life?”
Gen finally said a few more words.
“Professionalism.”
Ana Shen was in awe, so he didn't dwell on the matter anymore and shrugged in a compromise manner.
"It's a pity that I didn't get to meet such a good bodyguard."
Gen remained silent and said nothing.
According to the first level of the game rules he designed, now is the time for them to use the people sent over to get information from each other. Shen Yan knows Ruan Zhixian very well, and it is not a problem to write out his identity and vest with his eyes closed. There is nothing to get at all.
But he couldn't make it too obvious, because Gen would report his behavior to Ruan Zhixian. If he acted like he was indifferent to the game, it would arouse Ruan Zhixian's vigilance.
Then things will become a little troublesome.
The next day after Gen came to Shen Yan, Shen Yan, who originally didn't eat breakfast, got up early to eat breakfast.
Find useful information in the seemingly careless wandering.
"Damn it, why is the Colosseum closed? I haven't had enough fun yet!"
"I heard that a few monsters escaped, and the organizers caught them and are giving them electrotherapy. I guess it won't be long before the event is reopened."
"It's a pity that 432 died."
"Would you like to join the gambling game tonight? A fighting match isn't as exciting as the Colosseum, but the participants are all the same people who were in the Colosseum before, so it should be quite interesting."
"Official?"
"Privately, there's nothing interesting on the ship. I don't know what's going on with the authorities recently. The original arrangements have not been made. We've been playing dead. Fortunately, there are a few big guys who are willing to pay to take us out to play."
Ana Shen ate beside them for a while, and before he heard the key location information, the few who were chatting felt uncomfortable because of Brother Gen’s strong presence, and walked away silently.
Shen Yan: …
Ana Shen turned his head, “Brother Gen, I’m so bored, do you want to play games?”
In reality, he definitely can't beat these mechanical ascenders, let alone in the game.
Gen calmly said, "No."
Shen Yan: "Your glasses are so cool, do they have any special functions? I'm very interested in them, can you lend them to me to wear?"
Root: “No.”
The corners of Ana Shen's mouth twitched, he gave up on himself and continued to work hard, "Brother Gen, you are so handsome, I fell in love with you at first sight, be my partner."
He didn't even frown, his emotions were even more dull than AI's, "No."
Shen Yan: …
Every sentence has a response, and every sentence is useless.
It seems that it is impossible to deal with it linguistically.
Ana Shen quietly wandered over to another small group and listened to them talking about other activities on the ship.
There was a masquerade in the evening, which was supposed to be held on the sixth day, but was moved to the third day because of the closure of the Colosseum.
There are a lot of people participating, and being dispersed by the crowd will temporarily distract Brother Geng, so it shouldn't be a big problem.
After Shen Yan secretly took note of it, he spent the whole day pretending to get information from Ruan Zhixian, and took the opportunity to use Brother Gen to consume his energy.
It was evening by the time we dawdled.
There were more than 6,000 people on board, 3,000 of whom were invited guests.
The venue was in the banquet hall, and perhaps because the past two days had been too boring, the number of people who came to the dance was more than originally planned.
The clothing in this world is very complicated. There are fluffy long skirts in the classical Rococo style, as well as tight waist-revealing short leather jackets that highlight the cyber characteristics. The only thing in common is that everyone's makeup is exaggerated, and they move their feet to the sound of music, looking for the objects they are interested in.
The crowded crowd gave Ana Shen more opportunities.
Dagen’s moving path was within three meters, so Ana Shen found a buddy who was about the same height and strong as him and could completely cover his body when spinning to dance.
The guy is very fashionable, with a red and green Mohawk fixed with hairspray that reaches up to the sky. He is wearing a robe with flashing and changing lights, alternating between light and dark. He can be considered top-notch in the dance floor full of demons.
Ana Shen followed him around for several rounds, and Mohawk looked at him with more and more affection. While talking to him in a flirtatious way, he seemed to lead him to the exit casually.
Brother Gen, who was originally moving within three meters of Shen Yan, was now dispersed to five meters away by the crowd.
Ana Shen continued to work hard and took Mohawk for another turn.
And under the protection of the lady in the long skirt next to him, he immediately let go and rushed into the safety passage next to him.
The stairs were narrow and steep, and Shen Yan took two steps at a time and almost flew up. The footsteps of Brother Geng following behind him sounded like a ghost chasing his soul, getting closer and closer.
Can't get rid of it.
Even though Ana Shen relied on his advantage of being familiar with the terrain and used various obstacles and corners to interfere with Gen's judgment, Gen's reaction and judgment speed were not like those of a normal person.
He could only barely maintain the distance at a level that he couldn't catch up with for the time being, but would catch up soon.
Fortunately, they were almost at the place he predicted.
Enter the cabin from Gate A and take a step further to enter the ventilation duct. Climb down the duct to reach the place where the stowaways rest. Shen Yan found a hole left by the stowaways here, which leads to the other side of the cabin in Area A.
It was very hidden, and the cross-section of the opening was just enough for him to pass through. Even a big man like Geng Ge couldn't get in even if he cut off his two arms.
Ana Shen knew what was going on, had hope, and ran faster and faster.
He saw the light coming from exit A.
In the blank silence of the extremely tense mind——
"call out!"
A palm-length needle suddenly pierced into Ana Shen’s neck.
Before Ana Shen could sense this thing, his body took the lead in reacting for him.
His hands and feet suddenly lost strength, and without time to slow down, Ana Shen flew off the steps like a kite with its string cut off.
Ana Shen slid another two or three meters on the platform before stopping.
His breathing was suppressed to normal levels under the effect of the drugs, and his overused lungs expanded and contracted rapidly, as if they were going to push his sternum open and explode.
But the reason why Shen Yan was suffocating was not entirely attributed to his internal organs.
The root cause was the iron ring that was transformed from a fine needle with paralyzing effect and was strangled around Shen Yan's neck.
On the steps, the arm that had been converted into a firing gun kept changing and turned back into a normal person's appearance.
Gen walked up to Shen Yan with a methodical pace that was no different from usual.
Shen Yan opened his eyes, and the sweat on his forehead flowed down his cheeks and into his eyes, stimulating the whites of his eyes to turn red and tears to ooze out physiologically.
Ana Shen knew what he wanted to do, and reporting his surveillance to his employer was one of his tasks. His fingertips trembled spasmodically, his chest rose and fell violently, and his stiff tongue made it impossible for him to say anything that had a bewitching meaning.
Even a last-ditch struggle has become a luxury.
Ana Shen looked at Gen, and Gen looked at the embarrassed Ana Shen in the camera, took a picture of him, and sent it to his employer.
【I want to run.】
【Use drug K1 muscle relaxant. 】
【Has been recovered.】
Gen’s communication beeped twice, and the other party replied very quickly. After Gen finished reading the communication, he leaned over and picked up Ana Shen.
Having just run for the same amount of time as Shen Yan, his breathing was only a little rapid, but it soon calmed down.
His physical strength is not even on the same level as Shen Yan's.
The wire stuck around his neck still restricted Ana Shen’s breathing.
Shen Yan closed his eyes, thinking half dead:
Yay!
Finished!
