Chapter 23 Go with It

Pei Du took out the Rubik's Cube with ease. He flipped it with his fingertips, messing up the colors on the cube, and threw three more to Sheng Shixian.

"The rules are the same as before. You have three hours." Pei Du said simply, "But you are not allowed to cheat this time. You have to restore it yourself. There are cameras here. I can see what you do."

These Rubik's Cubes were piled on Sheng Shixian's legs. Sheng Shixian picked up one and said hesitantly, "Reward."

"There will be rewards." Pei Du's eyes deliberately stopped at Sheng Shixian's wrist. He smiled and said, "The premise is that you can do it."

Sheng Shixian successfully received the wrong hint. He rubbed the iron chain on his handcuffs with his thumb. The surface was smooth, and the silver-white color made it look even colder.

He hummed.

Pei Du turned around when he saw this. He put the square watch he had used for countdown on the wooden cabinet and said in a very easy-going manner, "I'm upstairs. You should keep track of the time."

Sheng Shixian grabbed the Rubik's Cube. He saw the time change on the cube, then lowered his head and started to twist the Rubik's Cube.

Pei Du sent a message to the people in the laboratory. He did not leave immediately, but stared at Sheng Shixian downstairs for a few minutes.

Sheng Shixian was always very pretentious at the beginning. He twisted the Rubik's Cube methodically under Pei Du's sight, without any abnormal behavior.

Pei Du watched his movements quietly, his eyes shifting upwards: "If you want to survive, you can go to the laboratory with me today and maybe you can see your breasts again."

"What do you mean by 'too cute'? I'm not too cute!" After holding the blue sign in the air for several circles, it said unhappily, "That's just a headlight. You're seeing things wrong!"

"Okay." Pei Du did not refute anything. He gave Gou Qie Toushen face and asked, "Then are you going or not?"

Gouqiu Tousheng hesitated: "You don't need me to look at Sheng Shi with envy."

Pei Du said, "No need. His leg injury hasn't healed yet, and his hands are chained, so he can't run away. And I have a camera at home, I can keep an eye on him from a distance, so you don't have to worry about it."

"Hmm..." Gou Qie thought for a while and got into Pei Du's hood. "If anything happens, you die before me."

Pei Du paused while sliding his finger on the phone: "...what do you mean?"

Gouqiu Tousheng said vaguely: "This system is of low level, few points, and poor defense system. If I really encounter another system, I might be killed."

Pei Du was puzzled: "You are all systems, you can't live in peace"

"There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. How can our clan be inferior to others?"

Pei Du was speechless. He calmly stated the facts: "That white ball is twice as big as you."

Survive and survive: "..."

"The light is brighter than you."

Survive and survive: "..."

"You can't do anything about it."

Gou Jue Tuo Sheng retracted all the light on his body, and the whole ball dimmed, almost transparent in color: "So what? If you work harder and complete more tasks, my points will go up, and I won't have to be afraid of it anymore! You have to fight!"

Pei Du: “…”

He took a sip of water and said, "I'll try my best."

Gou Jue Tou Sheng nodded twice in his hat: "Come on, come on, you can do it! I'm counting on you!"

Pei Du was speechless. Just because he was so greedy, he still said that there can't be two tigers in one mountain. He was not even a tiger, at most he was just a beeper.

It is still safer to lie down.

Time passed by minute by minute. Pei Du calculated the time, packed up his things and prepared to leave.

Before leaving, he went to the compartment on the first floor and stuffed all the rotten rose bouquets into a sealable plastic bag. A faint scent of roses rose up, but Pei Du wore a mask to reduce the impact of the fragrance.

Not until everything was over did Pei Du return to the original place. He closed the curtains and locked the door according to the previous order.

Sheng Shixian was still twisting the Rubik's Cube, so Pei Du took advantage of him not noticing and found a secluded place to leave through the back door.

He actually had no intention of removing the handcuffs from Sheng Shixian. This guy grabbed the bed at night before the handcuffs were removed, and it would probably be more difficult to control him if the handcuffs were removed.

There are many rewards, but the only one is not removing the handcuffs.

Pei Du had no psychological burden at all. He went to get the car and drove away from the villa directly according to the route.

Sheng Shixian was still at home. His cane was thrown against the wall, and a faint fragrance filled the air. The smell was light at first, but after it was completely dissipated by the wind, there was no trace left.

Pei Du took the roses away.

Sheng Shixian continued to turn the Rubik's Cube. He turned it for more than ten minutes and only managed to turn out one side of the same color.

His fingertips moved slowly, and the second hand on the square clock in front of him moved forward quickly. He raised his eyelids, and after the second hand turned another circle, he heard the sound of the back door closing gently.

Sheng Shixian's fingertips paused. There were at least six cameras in the hall where he was. He paused for a second or two and then continued to rotate the cube in his hand.

The colors on the Rubik's Cube were a mess, red, yellow, blue, green, white... and so on, intertwined together, blurring his vision.

"Mr. Sheng, the project in the east of the city seems to be a bit troublesome..."

"City A has been in a state of chaos recently. All the mutants infected with the virus have been shot to death. Mr. Sheng, we have to be careful."

…

"He's infected! What else can he do? Treat him quickly!"

"...He ran away, damn it! Tell the military where he ran to and shoot him directly, let them deal with it...What are you talking about? I don't have a son like that."

"Brother, run away. I'll rescue you. Don't come back again."

All kinds of bizarre scenes filled Sheng Shi's envious eyes. He clenched the Rubik's Cube in his hand, his brows were locked, and his head was aching from the increasingly intense gunfire.

Several different faces flashed quickly before his eyes: fury, shock, sadness... Their faces were full of expressions, and their pupils were filled with the deformed appearances of Sheng Shiyan after his transformation.

"Mr. Sheng..."

"Sheng Shi is jealous..."

Sheng Shixian staggered to his feet. He looked up at the camera facing him, put the Rubik's Cube aside and picked up his crutch.

Pei Du installed dozens or even twenty cameras in this villa, including in the bathroom.

The newly installed camera was mainly aimed at the bathtub, but the rest of the place was rather perfunctory, so it was not without blind spots. At least according to Sheng Shixian's observation, the toilet was not within Pei Du's surveillance range.

Sheng Shixian dragged the iron chain into the bathroom. He turned on the tap and washed his face with cold water to calm his chaotic brain.

“Drip—drip—”

There was a dripping sound like an alarm bell from the sink all of a sudden. Sheng Shixian's nerves tensed up. He clenched the iron chain on his hand and immediately raised his eyes to look to the side.

There was a phone watch in there. It had a gold case and when a call came in, the entire screen would bubble with pink bubbles.
