Chapter 44 24K Pure Badness (Part 3)
A naturally grown emerald magnolia was placed in a jade-white vase. A pair of well-defined fingers brushed across the green and white gradient leaves, lightly touching them.
Qi Cong casually flipped through his subordinates' reports, and when he saw that Shen Yan was so extravagant, wasteful, cruel and bloodthirsty that he aroused public anger, he sighed helplessly.
This guy is really stupid. Even after becoming rich and powerful, he doesn't even try to pretend. His true nature is exposed.
He has not received any proper education and is not a good person. He wants to tear up everyone's umbrella just because he has been caught in the rain and completely cut off ties with his past miserable self.
He has seen too many people like this, they are boring.
Ruan Zhixian hasn't killed him yet? What is he waiting for?
Qi Cong plucked a petal, put it to his nose and sniffed it, and suddenly he felt a little curious.
District 13 is irrelevant. Even if Shen Yan is crazy enough to raze the entire District 13 to the ground with a nuclear bomb, it doesn't matter. They are just a bunch of lingering garbage. Even if Shen Yan wants to harm another seventy or eighty of them, he can afford it as a person from District 1.
He contributed money and effort.
It should be reasonable to see what the little pet is doing.
Qi Cong was already tired of hearing about Shen Yan's behavior from other people, and now he wanted to see how Shen Yan would go crazy in real life.
The surveillance installed by the church was easily cracked, and among the many cameras, Qi Cong finally found Shen Yan.
He was surrounded by believers, sitting on a luxurious high chair, with three large dogs that looked quite human squatting beside his legs. At the bottom of the steps stood the other six saints, including Ruan Zhixian.
Before he could see what Ana Shen was going to do, the screen suddenly turned black.
All the surveillance footage switched to the video of him being slapped hard in the face for molesting a little boy at a birthday party held by his family.
Qi Cong: ...
Ruan Zhixian really holds a grudge.
If they say he is not allowed to interfere, then he really is not allowed to get involved at all, not even to look at it.
never mind.
Qi Cong plucked a handful of beautiful flowers, crumpled them up, and threw them away.
Anyway, this farce won't last long.
Before Ruan Zhixian loses his patience, this man should have made a mess of himself.
.
The registration for the Son of God was closed, and unexpectedly, the number of applicants reached over 3,000.
It was far beyond Shen Yan's expectations.
I originally thought that his outrageous behavior and turning the séance into a devil's den would scare people, but I didn't expect that there would be so many people willing to sign up.
So much so that Ana Shen had to change the plan and changed the originally scheduled one game into three games.
He was unsure of the circumstances of the contestants who had registered this time, so he did not set up elimination criteria involving human lives.
The competition is just to select some people who can serve as a good foil for Adlai and who can firmly support him to become the district chief in the future.
He wanted Adlai to become the district chief ahead of time.
In the original text, Adlai and Fang Luo were in cahoots with each other and used the church to make profits together. The two complemented each other, which created the nightmare of the twelve districts below District One.
At that time, Adlai had become completely evil because of various things. He only wanted more money and didn't care about anyone's life or death.
The same is true for Fang Luo.
Now, neither of them is abnormal, they are both kind and upright enough and worthy of trust.
In order to completely get rid of Ruan Zhixian, Ana Shen needs more bargaining chips.
They were his leverage.
Ana Shen lowered his eyes, played with the dog with a toy, and said nonchalantly: "Lazy, arrogant, you two don't have to participate in this Saint Son selection, just keep it as it is."
Li Wentuo smiled and bowed slightly.
It seems that his efforts during this period were not completely in vain.
At least Ana Shen didn’t let him go to die.
Ana Shen announced the rules of the final game in advance.
In the battle royale, the Old Son of God is hunted down by the New Son of God, and the one who successfully kills the Old Son of God will be called the New Son of God.
And the title of the New Holy Son could be taken away by someone at any time before the end of the game.
The end will come when only the only new saint in each seat is left.
Those who were still fighting fiercely to get into the knockout rounds were completely unaware of the sinister intentions of the final match.
Adlai slowly tightened his fingers.
Shen Yan likes to be in the spotlight, and there have been waves of people trying to assassinate him, but unfortunately none of them have been completely successful.
Headshots, bombs, sulfuric acid dissolution...
Shen Yan died more than twenty times, and he reappeared alive every time, making people more and more desperate.
In District 13, as long as you are rich enough, even death is no longer a threat.
Those who appeared in front of the public were all mechanical bionic people mass-produced by Shen Yan, consumables, and they could be driven as long as Shen Yan was alive.
The only way is to kill Shen Yan's real body.
Before his assassination failed, he could still ensure that the person sitting in front of him was Ana Shen himself.
Now it’s not certain.
Shen Yan is very cautious, and his real body may not be hidden somewhere, which greatly increases the difficulty of assassination.
what to do?
He felt a tightness in his chest when he thought that Ana Shen didn't get angry and execute him on the spot, but instead provided him with good food and drink.
This is more shameful than death.
But he couldn't refuse. As long as he was alive, he still had a chance.
-
Soon it was time for the final round of the Holy Son selection.
During the contestant preparation stage, Ana Shen started the live broadcast and cut the camera to himself.
The barrage of comments was not turned off, and the live broadcast room with 150,000 people was completely silent.
Ana Shen fumbled twice, and after confirming that it was not his network card, he frowned and said unhappily: “The new Holy Son will be born today, is no one looking forward to it?”
A few comments that sounded like bots popped up sporadically in the comment section, but soon disappeared in silence.
Dare not send.
I was afraid that he would find out through the Internet.
What’s more, this live broadcast is extraordinary.
There are many bloody live broadcasts with clearly marked prices on the dark web in District 13, but the dark web has a threshold. You either have to be a member or spend a lot of money. Like all people who do bad things, they do it quietly and it won’t be so obvious.
Shen Yan suddenly appeared and broke many rules of District 13. In just one month, the number of accidental deaths in District 13 exceeded the total of the past three months.
The vast majority of them were done by Shen Yan.
And he received no punishment, not even a fake jail term.
【User 00341】: A beast in human form
【User 00341】：Why don’t you just die?
In the bleak comment section, finally a normal comment appeared.
Ana Shen read out the words slowly, then made a rather aggrieved expression and sighed.
"If I die, the fools of this world will be lost in darkness forever, and God's children will not have the chance to be born. This is a loss for District 13 and even the entire world."
Ana Shen clicked on the man’s avatar, sent him 100,000, and smiled, “Your words are not nice, but fortunately you are honest enough, and God decided to reward you.”
Dazzling gifts were running around in the live broadcast room.
There will always be brave men when there is a big reward.
Soon more voices appeared in the comment section.
Ana Shen lazily leaned back in his seat and handed over the comment rights to the management, asking the management to randomly distribute money.
Then he checked the time, narrowed the comment area, and turned the screen to the selection site.
The picture is divided into five parts.
Adlai, Chen Yumu, Chen Yushui, Gluttony, and the cameras flying randomly among the forty new saints.
Two commentators were explaining the rules of the game to the audience, and their voices were simultaneously transmitted to the preparation room and into the ears of everyone who had not yet had time to be broadcast.
Their expressions gradually became solemn, but no one cried out.
These people have been screened and have good mental qualities. They will not lose their fighting spirit and ambition because of the sudden increase in difficulty.
Five airships took them to an altitude of one thousand meters, and the landing point was an uninhabited island belonging to District 13.
They will survive and fight here for seven days.
The countdown returned to zero, a sharp whistle sounded, and the airship slowly descended. After reaching 500 meters, a group of people opened their high-altitude parachutes and fell down like dumplings.
-
Shen Yan didn't watch the live broadcast afterwards, pretending to be indifferent and continued with his luxurious life, letting Fang Luo control the situation on the field and act according to the plan.
If necessary, you can give Adlai some water, the most important thing is not to kill anyone.
He can take action, but he can't kill people indiscriminately.
When Shen Yan came to this world, his sense of morality dropped by who knows how many levels. He could kill mutant monsters and he could also kill bad guys who were hostile to him.
After becoming the Son of God, the scope of the latter item becomes much larger.
However, it was strange that when he saw those bad guys, whom he defined as bad guys, crawling at his feet and crying and begging him to spare their lives, Ana Shen didn't feel much guilt.
He suddenly woke up in the middle of the night, not because he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep because of the dead person with his eyes open in his dream, but because he drank too much water at night and got up to go to the toilet.
The sleep quality is excellent and I can fall asleep within ten minutes of lying in bed.
This made Shen Yan spend more than an hour reflecting on it——
He's not an antisocial personality.
He is unable to empathize and has almost no innate ability to perceive emotions. It is only because he lives in a happy family and his family taught him what love is that he can imitate love and treat other people kindly.
In fact, they were all pretending, but they pretended so convincingly and for so long that they even fooled themselves.
Shen Yan's thoughts, which were about to slip, were pulled back by himself.
He is not a pervert.
He just had to become a pervert in order to achieve his goal.
There's nothing else to say.
Once he gets out of this environment that forces him to become abnormal, everything that's off track will return to normal.
It doesn't matter.
Ana Shen, who returned to the temple surrounded by bodyguards, poured herself a glass of juice.
The juice is extremely expensive, way beyond its value, and it's obvious that it's designed to fool rich fools.
But because it tasted like Orange Juice, Ana Shen bought a lot of it.
Knowing that his extravagant life could only last for a month at most, Ana Shen was about to ask someone to go out with him to show off his wealth and attract hatred when there were two knocks on the door.
Before Ana Shen could enter, the password of the room door was unlocked, and Ruan Zhixian pushed the door open and walked in.
When he saw Ana Shen, he shrank his neck as if he was frightened, grabbed the door handle and didn't go in, looking at Ana Shen through the crack in the door.
"Um...Sir Saint, aren't you going to watch the game?"
This guy is testing him again.
Ruan Zhixian seemed very worried that his personality and mentality would change and that he would become the type of person he was not interested in, so he cared about him much more often recently.
He didn't ask many questions, but he often found reasons to stay by his side. The surveillance camera wasn't enough for him, so he had to come and see for himself.
Ana Shen waved at him, took another cup, placed it opposite the small coffee-colored dining table, poured a cup for Ruan Zhixian as well, and said without any emotion: “Don’t watch it, it’s boring.”
Ruan Zhixian sat opposite Shen Yan, still looking quite restrained, "Why?"
“Do you know how much the water you drink now costs?” Ana Shen asked abruptly.
Ruan Zhixian shook his head.
“Six hundred thousand for a bottle.” Shen Yan’s cup was placed on the table, making a crisp clash sound, and he said in a trance: “Five years ago… no, three months ago, I never thought that a sip of water was worth tens of thousands of dollars.”
Shen Yan looked at Ruan Zhixian and said seriously: "I never thought that as long as I raised my finger, countless people would come and beg me to kill them - Ruan Zhixian, do you understand this kind of life?"
This is the first time Ana Shen has said such words.
Ruan Zhixian lowered his eyes and said softly, "Brother, why are you telling me this?"
"Don't want to listen?"
"I want to listen."
Ana Shen laughed, took off the jewels on her fingers and ears, and twirled them in her palms for a few times, making tiny, trivial sounds when the jewels collided.
In a room so quiet that even the sound of breathing is faint, it is exceptionally clear.
"When I can't sleep, I listen to the sound of them rubbing against each other. The more I listen, the more I can't sleep."
Shen Yan put the priceless jewels aside and said, "These easily accessible wealth can disappear at any time. The money given by others can be taken back at any time, so I am often very anxious."
"Ruan Zhixian, power is really scary."
"As long as I get a little taste of sweetness, I will be drawn to it in the future. I dream of standing higher and making everyone unhappy with me, but I can't do anything about it and can't get rid of it."
Ruan Zhixian: “I don’t understand.”
Ana Shen stared at him, and the topic jumped quickly: "What is the most disappointing thing about reading a suspense mystery novel?"
"…Spoilers?" Ruan Zhixian changed the angle of the hand holding the cup. "Brother, the reason why I didn't watch the game is because I already knew the result?"
"bingo~"
Ana Shen smiled and poured water for Ruan Zhixian again, “You are so smart, guess two more steps and guess what I want to do, how about that?”
Ruan Zhixian pretended to be an honest man and said honestly, "I can't guess."
Ana Shen sighed, stood up and walked behind Ruan Zhixian, holding the back of his chair, deliberately creating an atmosphere that a super villain was about to reveal his true feelings.
"Rights, Ruan Zhixian, I want real rights that cannot be taken away by anyone."
Shen Yan generously shared his plan with Ruan Zhixian.
After the Holy Son selection, Adlai will use his personality to openly confront him with Fang Luo's support and become a hero to the masses.
It happened that the district chief was changing his term, so he pushed Adlai as a candidate and canvassed for votes for him, then arrogantly stated that your hero was just a dog by my leg, and even if he really became the district chief, he would not be able to shake his position.
The enraged, rebellious masses and capital will allow Adlai to ascend to that position smoothly.
And he, the villain condemned by thousands of people, can be legitimately eliminated by the hero, completing the last step in creating a god.
Escape from death is very easy in the Cyberpunk era. There are many ways to make him wake up alive.
"Adlai is a man of great loyalty and righteousness, and I have something on him. If nothing unexpected happens, I will be able to drink this delicious juice without any burden every day from now on whenever I want, and everyone will crawl at my feet... No, what are you laughing at?"
Ana Shen spoke until his mouth was dry, and seeing Ruan Zhixian pursed his lips to hold back his laughter, he patted his shoulder unhappily.
Ruan Zhixian handed the cup to Ana Shen, and looked at him sideways. The smile in his eyes blurred the sinister look on his face, and he actually revealed a bit of the meaning of a sunny college student, "Brother's plan is watertight, very impressive."
Ana Shen narrowed his eyes: “Don’t believe it?”
"Xin, I am very ambitious and very, very bad."
Ruan Zhixian chuckled and said, "Brother did not use the bombing of an empty building as an excuse to force the guards to investigate the terrorist organization that has been committing crimes in Xiaoyao for several years, nor did he arrange the best medical team in this Saint Son Selection Competition to be alert and on standby at all times."
"Brother is selfish. All the people he killed were innocent. They were all good people."
"It's horrible and cruel."
Ruan Zhixian knew most of his actions.
I don't think he'll turn bad.
There is still plenty of interest in him.
It’s actually not a good thing that Ruan Zhixian has always had such a lot of interests.
This bastard Ruan Zhixian is very weird.
If you hate someone, he will kill them without a word.
If you like something too much and are too interested in it, you won’t live long.
It was clearly a vacation, but Ruan Zhixian came here to act as a cameraman, so he had to take him into consideration when making plans.
Ana Shen snorted and placed the empty glass on top of Ruan Zhixian's head.
Ruan Zhixian reached out to take it, but Shen Yan pulled his hand away and whispered in his ear, "Don't move."
Ruan Zhixian turned his back to Ana Shen and cooperated by remaining still.
Ana Shen narrowed his eyes and stared at the back of his head for a few seconds, barely restraining himself from stabbing a knife into the junction of the back of his neck and skull, piercing his brain stem from bottom to top to turn him into a vegetative state, and gently blew on his sensitive neck.
A gentle breeze blew deep into Ruan Zhixian's collar, catching him off guard.
Ruan Zhixian shook and the glass above his head slipped off. Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough and retrieved it before it broke.
He looked at Ana Shen shyly, “Brother… the cup almost broke, it’s quite expensive.”
Ruan Zhixian is an honest man who is quite casual. He puts it on when he wants to disgust him, and takes it off when he wants to talk about serious matters, smoothly and silky.
Shen Yan sat back in silence, "Anything else? If not, you can leave now."
Ruan Zhixian stood up and performed an internal church salute to Shen Yan. Seeing Shen Yan turning his head impatiently, the corners of his mouth curled up quickly before he left.
As soon as he went out, the expression that was still vivid in the room disappeared in an instant.
He rubbed the back of his neck, thoughtfully.
-
Seven days later, the Holy Son Selection Competition ended, and the situation inside and outside the competition was almost the same as Shen Yan had planned.
Chen Yushui and Chen Yumu, who are angry and jealous, show their deep sisterly love at the critical moment of life and death.
The elder sister was willing to sacrifice her life for her younger sister, and the introverted and shy younger sister, who had always been in a protected position, became uncharacteristically strong, took the lead in the situation and negotiated with others, and finally averted the danger.
As an orphan, Gluttony grew up in a garbage dump and ate whatever was available. His biggest pursuit and ideal was to be full and not go hungry.
He was Adlai's first ally, and he had been inseparable from Adlai since the second day. The two of them, one a scholar and the other a warrior, constantly absorbed and gained new partners, and in the end, miraculously, they made everyone survive in harmony.
The audience spontaneously edited and spread the live broadcast. A game was filled with family love, friendship, exciting battles, and emotional exchanges that brought people to tears.
The video of the game spread rapidly on the Internet, and even districts outside District 13 paid attention to it.
Under the watchful eyes of the public, Adlai made it clear that he would not bow to the evil forces, and would never forgive Ana Shen for all the evil deeds she had committed in District 13.
Adlai's candidacy and Shen Yan's canvassing for votes brought the whole incident to a climax.
The public was excited. The capital that had been hiding and watching keenly sensed a different wind direction from the usual and immediately stood up to support Adlai.
On the day Adlai was elected, he personally led thousands of elite guards from District 13 to surround the entire church.
The building was deserted and even the power supply had been cut off. The church without the support of interests was like a pile of loose sand. The mysterious man who supported the church and Shen Yan in doing whatever he wanted seemed to have lost the desire to watch the farce and stopped supporting it.
Each group of guards has a bee-shaped camera to record and broadcast the entire process live, and the luxury and magnificence of the church are fully presented to the audience.
The audience was watching with great interest, with comments flashing rapidly. There were so many people pouring in that even the live broadcast room started to lag.
The last door was opened, and when the audience saw the scene before them, there was an eerie silence for a few seconds.
The sacred marble statue was intact, but the young man who had stood at its feet and prayed in the video before was lying in the middle of the church, unrecognizable and in tatters.
Next to him, the man named Li Wentuo, who was often with him, was holding a sharp axe in his hand, and the axe and his body were covered in blood.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, he turned around in shock, and when he saw the uniforms of the guards, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He said nothing and gave up the space. The polite guards covered him with a blanket and carefully took the axe out of his hand.
Adlai patted his shoulder and turned his attention back to the tragic crime scene.
The evidence collectors rushed forward and compared the body on the ground with the known intelligence. The instrument beeped twice, and the display interface turned green. The evidence collectors' eyes widened with excitement.
"Report to the district chief, this is the real body!"
Fang Luo's breathing stagnated, and he used all his strength to avoid showing any abnormality.
Adlai nodded slightly, stared at the falling head, and sighed imperceptibly.
It's a bit regrettable.
I didn't expect it to end so hastily.
at the same time.
Boss Lianzi, who was being pointed at with a gun, pointed helplessly at the empty petri dish.
"He used up all the clones half a month ago."
"Friend, you have a grudge against him, right?"
“Don’t worry, Ana Shen will definitely not die any more!”
