Villain Rescue System (Part 2)

Lu Yao was destined to be unable to play games with his partner during the day.

After Shang Li left, there were more guests who needed him to entertain.

It was supposed to be a wedding anniversary trip, but it ended up feeling like a business trip.

Fortunately, the journey was still long, and Jiang Mingyu was not in a hurry to have a companion for a while, so she did not wait for Lu Yao and directly took Cui Lan to the game room on the third floor of the cruise ship.

There was a row of small private rooms separated from each other in the open game room. Cui Lan opened the door to let her brother go in first, then she closed the door gently and sat down on the lazy sofa outside with Jiang Mingyu shoulder to shoulder.

The pixel man also followed along, knocking all the way.

Although his real body is also on this cruise ship, Shang Li will definitely not appear in front of the two of them to ask for a fight.

At this moment, the man with black hair and red eyes was sitting alone on the curved sofa in the bar on the second floor, staring intently at a glass of orange-red cocktail on the table.

While consciousness was intimately squeezed between his wife and brother, watching the two of them playing video games with the controllers.

Half an hour later, he couldn't help but cover his face with his hands.

Tsk, this dish is so bad that I can’t bear to look at it.

The two people sitting on the lazy sofa, concentrating on the game, are almost at the same level.

On the left, Jiang Mingyu licked his lips and stared at the screen, his hands moving non-stop. The knob on the handle was almost broken, but he still couldn't jump onto a small step.

Cui Lan on the right had a sullen look on his face, as if he was facing some deep blood feud, watching the villain he controlled falling into the machine again and again as if he was deliberately seeking death.

The atmosphere of the game in the room became increasingly cold, and the two brothers' faces became solemn at the same time.

"Strange, this game didn't seem that difficult to me when I played it with Lili when I was a kid."

Jiang Mingyu had a thin layer of sweat on his forehead and laughed dryly, "Is it because I've grown up and my reaction has become slow?"

"I don't think so."

As he spoke, Cui Lan's hand slipped accidentally again, and the little man fell into the abyss again.

"At least when I was in my twenties and played with him, I didn't think it was difficult either." He put down the controller and said angrily.

Shang Li: “…”

He silently left the gap between the two people and floated into the screen silently.

"Try again, Brother Lan."

Jiang Mingyu sniffed, unaware of anything. "If we can't pass this level this time, we'll play something else. We can't think like this for every game."

Cui Lan nodded silently.

They both picked up the handles at the same time.

This time, Jiang Mingyu's figure successfully crossed the steps and opened the passage, and Cui Lan's figure passed through the mechanism and reached the end without any mistakes.

It was as if an invisible person quietly told the characters to stand closer and jump more accurately every time they were about to fail.

"It's over!"

Seeing the three stars that represented a pass pop up on the screen, Jiang Mingyu said excitedly: "I knew it must be because I haven't played for too long and my playing skills are not good enough."

He reached out and pushed Cui Lan, "Brother Lan, please press OK and continue!"

Cui Lan: “…”

For some reason, he always felt that there was someone looking at him with a smile.

Maybe...it's not an illusion.

Soon, night fell unnoticed during game after game.

The dinner arrived as scheduled. Dozens of people in suits gathered in the large and luxuriously decorated restaurant on the first floor of the cruise ship, waiting for the arrival of the host of the banquet.

Jiang Mingyu was temporarily called away by Lu Yao, and Cui Lan had nothing to do for a moment, so she simply used a disguise prop and arrived at the restaurant alone first, then huddled in a corner near the door and drank tea silently.

The pixelated man who was nestling comfortably in Cui Lan's neck turned his head to the side, and the beautifully contoured chin and the Adam's apple that kept sliding as he swallowed suddenly came into view.

Shang Li couldn't help but move closer, tiptoe and kiss her Adam's apple.

“Puff—cough cough cough…”

Cui Lan suddenly sipped his tea.

He touched the middle of his neck in confusion.

Was it your hair that got swept by mistake?

It won't be... again.

Before he could come up with anything, a man in a suit and tie suddenly walked over.

He blocked the light in the center of the dance hall, casting a shadow on Cui Lan.

"Are you here to join the 'Undercurrent' as well?"

The man raised the glass in his hand and said, "Didn't Mr. Lu give you a suit?"

“…”

Cui Lan raised her eyelids and glanced at him without responding.

Although this man was wearing a well-tailored suit, his words and actions were rough and frivolous. He had the discomfort of wearing such clothes for the first time, and his face was full of murderous intent. He did not look like the noble young man who would appear in the "upper class" circle like Lu Yao and his friends.

However...

Cui Lan looked past the person in front of him to the crowd behind him, and confirmed that most of the people in the restaurant looked similar to this man, and some of them even looked familiar - they were fugitives wanted by the Superpower Bureau just like himself.

He had been alone with Jiang Mingyu in the game room box for almost the entire day, and he was too relaxed in the safe environment and didn't pay much attention to his surroundings. So he didn't realize something was wrong until this moment.

Cui Lan immediately stood up, walked past the person who was being treated as air, and wanted to leave the dance hall to ask Lu Yao, but the door of the dance hall suddenly closed in front of her.

“Bang!!”

The loud crash made everyone stop talking and look towards the door.

At this moment, a deep and charming voice came from the radio, "Good evening, my guests."

"Now, please take your seats in an orderly manner."

As soon as the words fell, everyone in the restaurant except Cui Lan seemed to be controlled by the broadcast. Like manipulated puppets, they lined up in neat rows and sat down in order on the chairs placed beside the three long tables in the middle.

It was not until their buttocks touched the soft cushion that the guests woke up from a dream and began to look around.

"Shit, why can't I leave this chair?!"

"Why is there still a person standing there?"

A sharp-eyed guest noticed Cui Lan standing in front of the door and asked, "Doesn't he need to sit down?!"

"There's nothing left!"

Another guest answered.

The seats at the table were completely occupied, with no room left for the last person.

Cui Lan's expression darkened and he looked up at the broadcast above his head.

"Welcome everyone to join my wedding anniversary trip. You are all my friends, Lu Yao, and excellent psychics."

Lu Yao's noble voice echoed in the restaurant again, "I sincerely hope that we can become true partners."

"So I'm sure you all know that the selection of the members of 'Undercurrent' will also be held tonight."

Wow.

Shang Li clapped his hands in his heart for this all-powerful prince.

It's pretty amazing that they can find so many death row prisoners that even the Supernatural Bureau can't catch.

Packing them up and putting them together must not be an easy process.

However, if Jiang Mingyu knew that her wedding anniversary trip had other purposes, she would probably be very angry.

The pixel man glanced at Cui Lan subconsciously.

Ah, my wife doesn’t look very happy either.

"You are all desperate people. The Bureau of Supernatural Powers will not give up chasing you, but 'Undercurrent' will give you a chance for new life."

"But Dark Current cannot accept everyone. You must prove your worth to me."

These words were like a huge rock hitting the water, and the dance hall was suddenly stirred up by a burst of noise.

"But before we start, I think everyone should have a good meal."

Lu Yao changed the subject and took control of the people at the table again.

Everyone worked in unison and started using their knives and forks to put the delicious food on the table into their mouths.

No matter if it was a burly man with a scar on his face, a thin man with a hunched back, or a woman in any other state, they all instantly turned into elegant gentlemen or ladies, showing their classiness in every move.

But the speed of eating is very fast.

Cui Lan just stood there silently, watching the puppets sweep away all the food in a flash.

He calmly scanned the people at the table one by one, confirming that he did not find anyone who looked like Shang Li among them.

He didn't come to this restaurant?

Cui Lan was confused, but also felt somewhat relieved.

The last piece of cake in the restaurant was delivered to the customer's mouth.

At the same time, the strict control disappeared, and the guests all held their stomachs and vomited.

"Okay, now that everyone has had a full meal, it's time to get down to business."

After finishing the meal, Lu Yao clapped his hands and continued on the radio: "I just learned that there is an unexpected person on this yacht, so the first round of tasks is: please find the undercover hidden in the crowd."

"Dead or alive, bring him to our leader standing in front of the restaurant."

His voice became louder, and he announced to everyone, "Now, the first round of selection for 'Undercurrent' officially begins."

"Let's move, everyone!"

The door flew open with a bang as the announcement was made on the radio, but the people inside looked at each other in bewilderment.

"No, the person standing stupidly at the door is Cui Lan? Why does he look different from my impression of him?"

"You don't have to think about it to know what kind of disguise tool he used, you idiot!"

"Is this undercover a role-playing one, or is there a real one who sneaked in?"

The pixelated little man Shang Li leaned lazily on Cui Lan, thinking slowly:

Ah, this undercover, could it be me?

“It’s you!!”

In the crowd, a rough man suddenly pointed at the heavily made-up woman next to him and shouted: "This woman is from the Superpower Bureau, she must be an undercover agent!!"

"whispering sound."

Seeing her identity exposed, the woman pursed her red lips, and quickly raised an orange-red flame in her hand and threw it towards the center of the dance hall. Then she moved nimbly through the still dazed crowd and flipped out of the window.

The ball of flame that was thrown landed on the champagne tower and instantly ignited a large area.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and chase him!!"

The superpowers responded one after another to the shouting, and began to use their own abilities to leave the dance hall and chase the undercover.

Cui Lan still stood silently at the door.

Soon, there was only one person left in the huge space.

He lowered his head, picked up his phone, and tried to log into the website.

As expected, it failed.

"Lu Yao, if you reveal your identity now, aren't you afraid that the Supernatural Bureau will come knocking on your door?"

Cui Lan sighed and asked the broadcast in a calm tone.

"Just take care of the person who knows the identity here."

During the broadcast, Lu Yao still maintained his proud voice, "It doesn't matter if they know. The Supernatural Bureau can't do anything to us."

"Cui Lan, this is no longer the era when there were only a handful of people with special abilities."

"Now that spiritual energy has revived, people with special abilities are as numerous as crucian carp crossing the river. With the backward system of the Special Ability Bureau, I can't control them at all."

"You know, except for our Lu family, the rest of the Lin family, Cheng family, etc. in Yan City have secretly raised people with special abilities to serve them."

At this point, Lu Yao lowered his voice and said, "You were also an eyewitness to the frame-up two years ago."

"In order to maintain the Lu family's position in Yan City and prevent it from being dismantled and devoured, I must have a group of powerful superpowers who can assist me in the fight."

"We at Undercurrent cannot continue as a home-based business."

When Cui Lan heard these words, he was obviously stunned, as if he didn't understand what this guy was saying at all.

Lu Yao continued to speak in an ups and downs tone, "A strong superpower organization can bring us endless benefits. This does not conflict with your purpose."

"Cui Lan, I will do my best to help you realize your wish to find Shang Li, and now is your best chance."

"Don't stop me from doing what I want."

“…”

Cui Lan hesitated for a long time, and finally changed the subject, "Does Jiang Mingyu know that you are going to do these things?"

"Part of it."

Lu Yao said.

"He's asleep."
