Zhu Kui sighed and leaned forward slightly. "At least let me confirm that Gu Xin has been rescued by you!"
Cheng Shuang thought for a moment, "That's not difficult." Besides the receipt for the locker, she actually had Luo An change the pretty doll's clothes. The little girl took out a small hair tie, placed it on the table, and pushed it toward Zhu Kui.
Zhu Kui's eyes widened when he saw the item. He picked up the small hair tie with his thick fingers and stammered, "How can it be so small?"
"Go ask the pretty lady for the reason!" Cheng Shuang crossed her arms. "I don't want to tell you!"
Zhu Kui clenched his fist and said sarcastically, "Well then, since you don't trust me, I'll put your companions in the lockers too, and we'll exchange receipts."
If no one is around, then naturally there are no objections.
Zhu Kui was still somewhat wary of his sister and brother-in-law. After leaving the milk tea shop, he found a locker for his bag and handed Cheng Shuang a QR code receipt for retrieving the bag when he returned.
Unbeknownst to him, no sooner had he stuffed the bag into the closet than Roan took it out before the closet closed.
Cheng Shuang held the receipt, winked at her four companions, and then took out several more receipts, scattering them on the table. "Here, you guys go find them yourselves! Whoever finds them first will have the life or death of this pretty lady in their hands!"
Gu Lanshan and Zhu Susu acted quickly, each grabbing two or three tickets. Zhu Kui was a little slow to react because he didn't expect a child to have so many tricks up his sleeve. By the time he came to his senses, there were only two tickets left in front of him.
"Brother, let's split up. It'll save your wife from feeling suffocated in the closet! You'll be the one who worries if she gets sick!" Zhu Susu said with a forced smile, her thoughts barely concealed. She knew that if Gu Xin really died, her brother would only be angry with her for a while, but he would forgive her eventually. Besides, her brother always doted on her; as long as her 'reason' was plausible, he would believe her!
Gu Lanshan rubbed her feet awkwardly. "Gu Xin is my sister, after all. I'm afraid I'll be a step too late..."
Zhu Kui lowered his eyes and silently stretched out his hand, "Give it to me!"
Zhu Susu and Gu Lanshan both shuddered. Zhu Kui had a bad temper and would never hold back when he was angry. Even his beloved sister and wife would occasionally be yelled at by him in a bad mood. Even if he tried to appease them and apologize afterwards, he never stopped.
This was the first time they had seen him so sinister and chilling.
Before Zhu Susu could say anything more, Gu Lanshan quickly nudged her.
Finally, Zhu Kui rudely snatched the receipt, his cold gaze fixed on Cheng Shuang, "I will remember this humiliation!"
"Remember this well, you must remember it!" Cheng Shuang raised her head, meeting his gaze directly. Her small face was filled with innocence and cruelty, the two emotions mixed together, yet there was a hint of maturity in her expression. "If you want to harm others, you must be prepared to be harmed yourself!"
Almost as soon as the words were spoken, the Zhu brothers, whose emotions were in turmoil, vaguely heard four words: "The general is taking action..." but they could not hear anything after that.
It's true that General's Command is a common skill that can be upgraded, but after Du Lanshan's skill is upgraded, he can also fight against special skills. However, he must never be greedy or distracted.
At the same time, Du Jun, who had secretly 'communicated' with him beforehand, made his move. To prevent the other three from retaliating, he quickly murmured, "Game Time - Super Contra, character assignment: Gu Lanshan is the ultimate BOSS, and the other two are the protagonists."
Since upgrading, Du Jun's skill has progressed from controlling one person to enter a game to allowing three people to enter mini-games he has previously played, such as Contra and Adventure Island. However, the drawback of having three people enter the game at the same time is that at least one person's name must be known to facilitate role assignment. For single-player games like Mario, two people are required: one plays Mario, and the other plays the rescued princess. If there aren't enough players, Du Jun will play the NPC princess himself.
As the controller of the skills, the little monsters in the game won't actually harm him, but if the opponent shows signs of awakening consciousness in the game, then the 'weak princess' will be powerless to fight back.
As soon as Du Lanshan made contact with Zhu Kui, he immediately frowned. This guy's mental strength was not weak. If he hadn't been emotionally agitated, he might not have been able to succeed so easily.
"We must act swiftly," Du Lanshan demanded sternly. "Soldier Zhu Kui, have you all stored the Protector's mosaics that you collected, as ordered, into locker number 54?"
Zhu Kui's facial expression twisted for a moment, then settled into a blank look, and he slowly nodded, "Yes!"
"Soldier Zhu Susu, report on the types of skills you possess?" This time, Du Lanshan asked Zhu Susu.
It turns out that Zhu Kui's skill is controlling machinery, and Zhu Susu's story is similar to a lie coming true.
Gu Lanshan is special because she is a speed skating parkour user. When her skill is activated, the area she is in will automatically transform into various dangerous environments suitable for speed skating parkour. Apart from Gu Lanshan herself, everyone else, including the homeless, will lose their normal walking environment.
The other two brothers' skills require coordination and seem to be ancient martial arts, named Dingbo Fist and Dingtao Leg. They sound ordinary, but when they actually launch an attack, they have a power similar to Master Roshi's Kamehameha from the anime 'Dragon Ball'.
Even Gu Xin's skill was explained by Zhu Susu—Soul Wave, the most basic function of which is telepathy. Any intelligent being can 'hear' the other's thoughts, so she is the team's 'communicator'.
Cheng Shuang finally understood why Zhu Susu and Gu Lanshan were so hostile to Gu Xin. Their accumulated contact had created irreconcilable conflicts between them. Every time they entered the Gate of Reincarnation, the hostile and hateful party would 'hear' all sorts of gloomy thoughts. Over time, these two men and women, who were not exactly righteous to begin with, naturally could not stand it.
Defeating a mind-reading enemy might be more important to them than making their older brother happy or ensuring their sister's survival!
The previous claims about having affairs with men or being two-faced were merely excuses to cover up their sinful thoughts.
Public opinion is a fearsome thing.
When half the people at the rest stop are pointing the finger at the same person, what attitude will the rest of the people take?
Once such accusations accumulate to a certain extent, people will simply parrot what they hear. If a person of low character were to die unexpectedly, who would bother to investigate the truth behind her death?
Zhu Kui was undoubtedly biased and incompetent.
His emotions were biased towards Zhu Susu, so he couldn't see the malice she and Gu Lanshan harbored that was enough to kill Gu Xin. Perhaps in his heart, he already harbored suspicions about Gu Xin, after all, even her own younger brother was spreading rumors about her everywhere, so it wasn't that Zhu Susu was willful, but that Gu Xin herself hadn't done enough!
Cheng Shuang and the other four exchanged complicated glances. Regardless of the conflicts within Zhu Kui's group, they were determined to settle accounts with Sun Han.
"The gym." Liu Juan bit her lip, her eyes sparkling. "Let them get memberships, one 100,000 yuan card for each of them!"
Cheng Shuang silently gave her sister Juan a thumbs up.
