Chapter 84: Loser (Part 3)
Valen wanted to have an affair with Shen Yan more than once.
But he was very unconvinced and did not think that his behavior was cheating.
As for the fact that Shen Yan and Ruan Zhixian were together, Valen still had no sense of reality until the two returned to Black Star and showed off their love in a high-profile manner.
No one will feel it is real.
This is fucking outrageous!
Take him to find Shen Yan, and give him advice on how to pursue someone. Ruan Zhixian is actually dating Shen Yan!!!
It was hard for him to accept.
He was the one who was kissed countless times by Chen Yan, he was the one who was hugged by Chen Yan and said he liked to say sweet words to him, he was the one who was called husband by Chen Yan——
Although it was mostly acting, Valen always believed that these were just small episodes in his and Shen Yan's love story. No matter what, he would be the one who would end up with Shen Yan.
Who could have thought that Ruan Zhixian would suddenly appear?
Valen had always had a good sleep quality, but after knowing this, he suffered from insomnia as never before, lying in bed with his eyes open, reviewing the situation.
There are many things I can’t figure out.
What I can't understand the most is why Shen Yan is with Ruan Zhixian.
Being with him was natural, being with Blaise could barely be considered a deterioration of brotherhood, and even being with Farson, Valen could understand it a little.
Ana Shen was soft-hearted, thinking that Felson was really pitiful, and it was not impossible for him to reluctantly agree to his excessive request.
Only Ruan Zhixian.
He and Shen Yan were like strangers. Even if they met, they could not say a few words. His hatred had nothing to do with love. He simply hated being calculated by Shen Yan.
Valen really couldn't let it go.
He thought about it for several days, and after making sure that he did not have the ability to be a mistress, he decided to kill Ruan Zhixian.
The idea immediately caught on with Falson.
Finally got the chance.
Valen, who was fully prepared, easily beat Ruan Zhixian and seriously injured him.
The conference room was in a mess. Valen had a clear goal and only wanted to beat Ruan Zhixian. The others had already run away without a trace.
Blinded by murderous intent, Valen suddenly realized something was wrong when Ruan Zhixian once again endured his attack without any struggle.
During the time Shen Yan was in Red Star, he worked for Ruan Zhixian for two years. As a frontline fighter, he knew too well how much the people in District 1 valued their lives.
How was it possible that no one had come to arrest him after so much time had passed?
What’s even more outrageous is, how could Ruan Zhixian suddenly become so weak!
He had a confrontation with Ruan Zhixian on the cruise ship, and was defeated by him in just one encounter. Even if Ruan Zhixian had neglected training in the past two years, it was impossible for him to be beaten so easily!
Valen's thinking did not affect the speed of his fist falling. When he saw Ana Shen appearing at the door, it was too late to retract it.
Bang!
With Ruan Zhixian as the center, the huge impact force caused spider-web-like cracks on the floor of the conference room, and the ground shook.
Ruan Zhixian's head was not smashed, but his face was disheveled and handsome, with a bit of battle-damaged charm.
Ana Shen walked quickly and silently towards the murder scene.
Looking at Shen Yan, who was hiding his anxiety, Valen suddenly understood Ruan Zhixian's intention and opened his eyes wide in disbelief.
Just then I saw a mocking smile on Ruan Zhixian's lips.
The lips moved and two words were uttered silently.
--waste.
Valen clenched his fists suddenly, but before he could hit him again, Ana Shen stood beside them.
At the same time, the fully armed army brought by Shen Yan surrounded Valen and gradually approached.
Ruan Zhixian, who was dying, tried his best to hook up Chen Yan's trouser legs, leaving a dirty bloodstain on the clean cloth, and said with a weak breath:
"Brother...I feel uncomfortable..."
Valen sneered: "You are not feeling well at all."
A trickle of blood flowed from the corner of Ruan Zhixian's mouth, and his eyes were half-closed, as if he was about to die.
"It's funny." Valen deliberately ruined the atmosphere, "If you dare, die now."
Ruan Zhixian closed his eyes completely and his hands dropped weakly.
The medical team behind them arrived, and Ana Shen stepped aside to let them in. Valen stood up and made way sensibly, alerting those people who were pointing their guns at him.
Realizing that he had been tricked, Valen stopped struggling and lowered his head to surrender.
Being pressed down by someone, he passed by Shen Yan.
He never dared to look Shen Yan in the eye.
Afraid of seeing Ana Shen’s disappointed and disgusted eyes.
-
Valen's return to prison was like returning home.
He lacked a sense of order and often challenged the law. After working with Falson, he became even more unscrupulous. In order to get a spacecraft to Red Star, he went to jail 25 times in two months.
He ran and was caught. Due to his characteristics as an experimental subject, it was difficult to kill him using ordinary methods.
Finally, I got to know several members of the district security team. When we met, we smiled and said, "Brother, it's you again. You haven't caught your wife yet? Do you want us to help you?"
No one can help him.
Valen was feeling angry. He looked at the ceiling of the prison and sighed softly.
Wait until he gets out, then try killing a few more times.
If I really can't kill him...
It’s okay to be a mistress.
This identity is not glorious, but it is not completely dirty.
The views on marriage and love in District 1 are quite open.
Technology has extended their lifespans, and one-on-one pure love is difficult to last long in the bombardment of entertainment. Everyone is fanatically pursuing happiness, and love, as one of the main ingredients of happiness, naturally has to adapt to the mental state of these people in Zone 1.
Open marriages have become mainstream, and everyone can legally have many partners.
It is actually not appropriate to call someone the other half at this time. It would be more appropriate to call them one third, one quarter or even one tenth.
Besides, Chen Yan hasn't married Ruan Zhixian yet, so what's wrong with Chen Yan having a few more!
Valen gradually became distorted, and he began to think about ways to seduce Shen Yan with confidence.
The prison guard's summons interrupted his thoughts.
"Someone wants to see you."
Valen got up lazily.
I guess Ruan Zhixian didn't act enough and just recovered from his illness, so he couldn't wait to show off to him.
Then come.
He is ready.
-
Just kidding, not ready.
Valen’s jaw was tense, and he pursed his lips to hold the tea that Ana Shen poured for him, drank it all in one gulp, and put the teacup down with force.
Cracks appeared on the cup, and when Shen Yan poured it again, the amber tea began to overflow in strands.
Ana Shen couldn’t help laughing and teased, “Nervous? Afraid that I’ll seek revenge?”
"No." Valen said in a muffled voice.
Ana Shen didn’t continue to ask, he sighed while pinching the teacup, and didn’t speak again.
In the eerie silence, Valen mustered up the courage to look at Ana Shen, feeling uneasy in his heart, but his expression was very cold and inhuman, “Why don’t you speak?”
“I don’t know how to tell you.” Ana Shen said distressedly, “It’s too narcissistic to say this, I’m not very comfortable with it.”
Valen: “Speak.”
Valen was direct, and Ana Shen was also direct, “Valen, can you please stop liking me?”
Valen's heart skipped a beat, his mouth was faster than his brain, and he said coldly: "Who likes you?"
Ana Shen opened her eyes wide, and then breathed a sigh of relief, her delicate eyebrows relaxed, and she looked at Valen happily and said, “Is it true?”
Valen stared straight at Ana Shen and interrupted him: “I love you.”
Ana Shen: “…Don’t.”
“You provoked me first, Ana Shen.”
Valen lowered his head to prevent him from seeing his red eyes. "You told me so many lies, tricked me into going around in circles, and then easily got away with being with someone else. You even didn't allow me to love you—"
"You might as well kill me. I only want to die in your hands."
After saying this, the atmosphere in the room immediately turned cold.
It wasn’t until the tea on the table turned cold and the steam disappeared that Ana Shen spoke, saying seriously:
"I have a boyfriend, so it's impossible for me to return the same feelings to you. These are all true. I'm not lying to you."
Valen's eyes flickered: "If I break up with Ruan Zhixian..."
Shen Yan: “This is not the point.”
Valen's mood, which had just lifted a little, quickly dropped again.
“Valen, look forward.” Ana Shen did not continue to discuss the matter with him in more depth. He stood up and patted Valen’s shoulder encouragingly, “I have arranged a new identity for you. When you are released from prison tomorrow, go to the third district. Someone will pick you up there.”
"You will start a new life and find a more suitable lover. In any case, it will not be worse than now."
Ana Shen didn't give Valen a chance to speak. Valen felt upset and really couldn't say anything. The air was quiet for a while, and Ana Shen finally poured him a cup of tea.
"I'm leaving now. Bye."
Ana Shen’s footsteps faded away, leaving behind the sound of the door closing.
Valen lowered his head, his facial features shrouded in darkness and unclear.
-
That night, Valen escaped from prison again and again.
He refused the ending that Shen Yan arranged for him.
Ruan Zhixian had taught him before that if he couldn't get Shen Yan's love, then deep hatred was also good, at least he could occupy a place in his heart.
During those few short days in the small dark room, he thought of many ways to torture people. An hour before it was his turn to see Ana Shen, he would secretly encourage himself in his heart: Come on, Valen, you are a cold-blooded murderer, you must make Ana Shen hate you to death, hate you the most.
However, when Chen Yan called him husband, all his preparations collapsed. There was a bug in Valen's dictionary, and all the related words were wiped out. The bug was not repaired until Chen Yan left his sight.
The same is true now.
He was reluctant to attack Shen Yan.
It’s better to kill Ruan Zhixian.
If Chen Yan really loves Ruan Zhixian, if he kills Ruan, Chen Yan will definitely hate him, and his goal will be achieved.
If you don't love.
Wouldn't that be better?
The more Valen thought about it, the more plausible it seemed.
Ruan Zhixian was just a part of the game between him and Shen Yan, so how could he lose?
As an experimental subject in the Perfect Human Branch Project, Valen was treated as waste during the experiment because of erroneous data. The researchers could never have imagined that Valen's condition was actually closest to the result that the people in Area 1 wanted.
His repair ability is too strong, he can't die even if he wants to.
Pain means nothing to him, and when he gives up his humanity, he becomes the most suitable weapon.
No matter how powerful Ruan Zhixian's rule over District 1 was, there were bound to be some people who refused to give up. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Valen decisively accepted the olive branch thrown by these people and madly targeted Ruan Zhixian.
Three months later, I met Shen Yan for the second time.
Valen was listed as a serious criminal and this was his sixth imprisonment. Valen was restrained in a cyberpunk-style mechanical cage, and even his blinking frequency was controlled.
Ana Shen stood outside the cell.
He had a recent job change, and this time his stance was different from the last time. His military uniform was stiff and stiff, and his expression didn't show any kindness at all. Ana Shen's expressionless face would give off a bit of arrogance and indifference.
The people following him were wearing similar uniforms as him, guarding Ana Shen on the left and right.
Ana Shen: “Open the door.”
The one on the left lowered his head slightly, "Mr. Shen, he..."
Ana Shen interrupted him, “I will be responsible if anything goes wrong, open the door.”
The two people on the left and right looked at each other, and the person on the right went to verify his identity. After complicated and tedious operations, the transparent door slowly opened to both sides.
After Ana Shen entered, the door was closed and well soundproofed, so no one would hear their conversation.
Valen watched Shen Yan getting closer and closer, twisted emotions arose in his heart, and he stared at Shen Yan's face, trying to find what he wanted to see.
However, there was nothing. Ana Shen's expression was very calm. He stopped silently half a step in front of him. The two looked at each other. After a brief silence, Ana Shen spoke first.
"Valen, your execution will be scheduled for one week from now. Given your physical condition, this execution will be extremely cruel. The drug you will be injected with is the latest product from the research institute. It will dissolve your muscles within three seconds of the injection."
"You will be cut into pieces by the machine, and no one will collect your body after you die. Your body will be sent to the research institute as research material..."
Ana Shen paused, his eyes flickering, “Is this the ending you wanted? Excuse me, it’s rotten.”
Valen laughed dumbly and said, "So? Should I regret it? Should I regret not choosing the more stable path you arranged for me?"
Shen Yan: “Yes.”
“No!” Valen struggled hard with excitement, and the restraint cage on his body released high-voltage current. He stared straight at Ana Shen and said word by word: “Ana Shen, don’t be so self-righteous, who wants you to care!”
"Don't extend your kindness to me. Save me? Who do you think you are? A saint?"
Ana Shen’s expression remained unchanged: “Anything else you want to say?”
Valen's smile became even more intense, his eyes full of madness, "Hahaha, Ana Shen, wife, come and kill me, dead or alive, if you don't do it yourself, I will never give up!"
Ana Shen: “…Wow.”
Ana Shen twitched the corner of his mouth, “Too hot-blooded, brother.”
Shen Yan gestured to the indoor surveillance camera, and the red light of the surveillance camera faded. The two people following Shen Yan also left with a look of understanding.
Valen: “What are you doing?”
Ana Shen sighed and said as if chatting about family matters: “Do you like me so much?”
Valen said coldly: "I don't like it."
“Oops.” Ana Shen pretended to be regretful, “I don’t need a personal bodyguard who hates me.”
Valen's heart was moved, "Why are you short of bodyguards?"
Ana Shen: “Of course I don’t lack it.”
As he said this, Ana Shen moved closer, and the distance between them was no longer safe. He tapped his chest with his fingers, with mischievous teasing hidden between his eyebrows.
"It's you that's missing, Valen."
-
As a bodyguard, Valen gradually understood everything under the guidance of Shen Yan.
It turns out that he is just a part of their play.
In fact, some of the forces that drove him to attack Ruan Zhixian were affiliated with Ruan Zhixian.
If he attacks Ruan Zhixian, Ruan Zhixian can go to Chen Yan to complain and use this as an excuse to test Chen Yan's sincerity and see if Chen Yan will completely break up with him for him.
Ruan Zhixian is forcing Chen Yan to kill him.
But Ana Shen didn’t, instead she kept him by her side.
This is a punishment for him and Ruan Zhixian.
Every time he appears with Shen Yan, Ruan Zhixian's expression is very interesting.
He knew that he had become a prop used by Shen Yan to control Ruan Zhixian, and a tool like a clown.
However, when Ana Shen once again suggested that he leave, he chose to stay.
Nothing else.
It’s great to be the third person.
Although Ana Shen has always rejected him, kept a distance from him, and maintained a lukewarm relationship with him, it doesn’t matter.
At least I’m close to Ana Shen, at least I can see him every day.
Valen's mentality has been completely distorted.
It is even so distorted that two negatives add up to a positive, and the mental state becomes more stable.
The most important thing when you are three is to be content with the status quo.
If you keep fighting and trying too hard to get to the top, you may end up getting nothing.
Like Blaze and Falson.
At the wedding, Valen calmly clinked glasses with Shen Yan, and under the strange gazes of Blaise and Falson, he sincerely wished them a happy marriage.
Valen drank the wine in one gulp, and something in his heart gradually collapsed.
Yes, he will.
Be content with the status quo.
