Chapter 45: A Share of the Pie
Although 011 has keen five senses as a system, he doesn't really care about them in his daily life. He only remembers that the host has another very special fragrance.
It's like water lily, or some light spice that has been left for too long and has a heavy aroma.
So this human may not necessarily be the host.
"Lu, Lu Tai?" Because it was very dark inside the hood, 011 blinked her caramel eyes, and her pretty, innocent, and somewhat curious fair face moved closer cautiously, moving her nose and sniffing again.
It's like a small animal is checking the smell.
And just after he stuck his head out, the red panda saw the pupils in the deep blue eyes of the human in front of him suddenly shrink. It seemed that he was not used to his approach. He looked a little surprised, as if he was treating a stranger.
011: ...
Now it is certain that he has mistakenly recognized the human he raised.
He never imagined that one day his system would experience the embarrassment of humans, to the point of dipping their toes on the ground.
Gazing into the human's deep-sea cobalt blue eyes, the red panda was stung by the faint smile in them. Just as he was thinking about how to explain the situation in an awkward yet polite manner, a pair of large, bony hands carefully held up his headgear.
The man in front of him disappeared from his sight with a force that didn't hurt him or bite the doll's head off.
From 011's perspective, he could just see through the gap in the hood's mouth that the man's neatly groomed short black hair was messed up, with a few strands falling awkwardly in front of his forehead, slightly covering one of his smiling eyes.
"I'm sorry." He felt a little guilty. "I think I accidentally messed up your hair just now. I will compensate you."
The red panda stretched out his white fingertips to put his hair back on, but then the man seemed a little uncomfortable with his touch and subconsciously turned his head slightly to avoid it.
011 felt even more guilty this moment.
"This human must be mad. If I have to pay him back, I don't know if the star coins I brought this time are enough." He muttered to himself, about to apologize sincerely, but when he looked up again, he realized that the other person didn't seem angry.
The eyes in the holes of the mask still had a slight smile.
"It's okay, please don't mind it. You must have recognized the wrong person just now, right?" The black-haired man smiled good-naturedly and waved his hand to let the bodyguards next to him, whose muscles were tense and ready to take action, sit back.
Didn't blame him for the offense just now.
The man had thin lips with sharp, beautiful lines, and a low, magnetic voice with a hint of coldness. However, when he spoke, his voice was gentle and soft, which did not make the listener uncomfortable. "It's normal to mistake someone for someone else."
"My number is actually 99. Maybe the service staff didn't confirm it in advance. I spent a while looking for it when I came here, and I didn't have time to put the table card in the right place, so you misunderstood. I should be the one to apologize."
After saying this, he smiled apologetically. Even through the mask, one could tell that he was a very graceful and gentle gentleman.
"Ah? Ah, it's okay, it's okay. I'll help you set it right and no one will admit their mistake again." 011 was confused by what he said. He just thought that this human looked stupid and was as easy to bully as the host.
He seems to be a very easy-going human being.
Without waiting for the other party to speak, he turned over the place card that had been accidentally placed upside down on the table and put it back on the table.
After hearing the other party's explanation, he immediately felt justified again.
But 011 couldn't bully him anymore. He secretly glanced at the man's tall and thin figure through the hood. He felt that the sickly human in front of him was quite pitiful. He didn't have any brains and was definitely unaware that he was being secretly excluded.
How could such a low-level mistake as placing the table cards upside down occur in such a luxurious occasion?
It must be those humans who organized the event who wanted to embarrass him.
And this human being is obviously not a villain. He has no idea what these ruthless villains are thinking. He thought it was an accident, huh.
The red panda raised its chin proudly, and the big orange ears on its headgear also shook.
The more 011 thought about it, the more she felt this was a possibility. Looking at him, she felt like she was hallucinating the previous host. Her pretty face, hidden under the hood, felt a little embarrassed, but she finally spoke, "Luckily, I was the first person you met."
"I've straightened the table sign for you. Now if anyone wants to use it to cause trouble for you, there's nothing they can do." He lowered his voice and reminded quietly.
011 often feels that the host is easy to bully.
I didn't expect to meet someone who was easier to bully. I even had to apologize to him for messing up my hair.
The man was obviously stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and smiled slightly, his tone still as gentle as a spring breeze, "Thank you for reminding me, and thank you for meeting you first."
011 was finally satisfied after hearing his words, and immediately felt that the human in front of him was more pleasing to the eye.
The current plot has not yet begun, and he thinks that this is just his personal time, so he quietly puts aside his career ambitions and regains his previous state as a righteous red panda.
011 didn't take this matter to heart, nor did he plan to show off to the host after returning.
After all, what's the point of a villain system doing good things?
011 waved at the man and declined his polite gesture of gratitude. He did good deeds without leaving his name, humming a song and said goodbye to him before continuing to look for No. 66 where the host was.
Therefore, he did not notice that the smile in the man's eyes behind him gradually turned into a complex emotion.
The man stared at the receding figure, and heard the bodyguard beside him asking, "Sir, I think his appearance is really inexplicable. He might be a spy. Should we deal with him?"
It was only because there was no mental fluctuation from the other party and the employer did not give any orders that he did not take action.
"No, just pay attention to his actions. I think today's good show may just be an appetizer." The man's voice was smiling, and his beautiful phoenix eyes with soft lines narrowed slightly, still locking on the back of the young man in the crowd, but his mind uncontrollably recalled the scene he just saw in the dim light.
The boy's short orange-red hair was slightly damp with sweat, and the warm color made his eyes and eyebrows brighter and more beautiful.
There were two small dimples beside the rosy lips, and the rich fragrance filled his nose when he asked questions. For the first time, his brain was unable to think and he could only stare at the tip of the boy's tongue that was faintly visible behind his white teeth.
This may be a beauty trap.
The man pressed his temples and opened his eyes again. His deep blue eyes, which had been lost in the chaos of passion and desire, regained their clarity.
He lowered his eyes slightly and looked at his palm. There were a few plain silver rings on his pale knuckles, as if the warmth of the boy's slender waist just now was still lingering. He frowned slightly, took off the rings for the first time and put them in his pocket.
The man looked at the two anxious people beside him and smiled as if nothing had happened. "The auction is about to start. I won't stay any longer. I will seriously consider your proposal."
He said goodbye politely, then stood up and walked towards the VIP room on the second floor.
——
011 had no idea what happened after he left.
When he returned to his seat, he saw the anxious host and Radish, as well as two unexpected people. He tilted his head in confusion, "Galliye? Fran? Are you two coming to the auction too?"
And wasn't Galliard planning to go out for dinner with friends this weekend?
Thinking of this, 011 suddenly remembered that Galliard seemed to have no friends, so that's why he invited him. Since no one was willing to have dinner with him, it was not surprising that he would come to the auction.
And there was Fran, whom the red panda didn't recognize at first.
The other party actually cut his long hair, and now his short hair looks a bit like the host.
And in the next second, the red panda saw the blond young man in front of him. Even through the mask, he could see the gentle and warm features of his face. He smiled a little depressedly, "Yes, I don't have many friends. I thought I might be lonely alone, so why not come and join in the fun."
The tall young man lowered his eyes slightly at this moment, as if he didn't want others to see his embarrassment.
"Then you really..." 011 felt a little sorry for him. As a red panda who was easily moved by his feelings, he was about to say something to comfort him when he suddenly remembered that he was now the villain. He quickly held onto his hood and sat down, saying fiercely, "Then you really are an idiot."
"But don't feel sad. After all, only a good person like me is willing to play with you." He recalled the encyclopedia of villains he had read before with a malicious look, and the words "I am a bad guy" were almost written on his face.
But to his surprise, the people at the table not only did not show disgust or disapproval towards him, but instead directed their criticism at Gallier.
"Did I hear correctly just now? Young Master Galliard said he has no friends..." Robert's mind was full of question marks. He sneered but before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly felt a mental force wrapped around his neck and slowly tightened.
The threat is obvious.
Robert: ...
He chose to keep quiet and not continue. Instead, Fran, who had been silent at the same table, quietly put down his teacup and asked in a serious tone, "No friends? Galliard, then where has the friendship we've had since we were little gone?"
Fran was a self-disciplined and polite person most of the time, but now he felt inexplicably annoyed when he saw his friend looking so pitiful.
Hearing him say that, 011 suddenly remembered that the plot had said that Fran was a good friend of Gallier, so he was included as one of the protagonists.
He immediately cast a strange look at Gallier.
"Aren't you going to attend the auction today too? Although we knew each other as children, we are adults now, so I think we should still follow social etiquette." Galliard gave him a polite smile, but it was inexplicably sarcastic.
011 didn't hear it, as his system must have understood the sentence literally at first.
Suddenly I felt that Galliard was even more pitiful.
Childhood friends are drifting apart, and seeing that Fran, the chief workaholic, is always busy with his studies or dealing with his work as the chief of the military academy, it would be boring to be friends with him.
Fran, on the other hand, made no comment on his friend's rare aggressiveness.
Looking at Gary, who looked like a peacock spreading its feathers, he glanced at her briefly and then calmly looked away. "If you hadn't rejected the companions your uncle and aunt found for you, perhaps your days in the military academy wouldn't have been so boring."
The implication of his words was that he brought it upon himself.
Galliard's tactic this time was to remain silent, lowering his eyes slightly and looking heartbroken.
"Okay, okay, who did you come with? Is it okay for you to sit in my seat now?" 011 was getting a headache from all the chattering men at the table. The little bit of conscience he had originally had disappeared in an instant. He found them annoying and started to drive them away.
The few people at the table who were mocking each other suddenly fell silent, realizing that the little panda was impatient.
Today's auction was unusual. Galliard was concerned about the red panda's safety in these people's hands. Complex emotions flashed through his dark golden eyes. "I came here on my own. I'm the only one sitting at that table. It's so boring. Can you let me stay here?"
"I can pay you in star coins."
The blond young man blinked his gentle eyes.
011 was instantly confused by the star coins in his words. He snorted twice and glanced over, "If you give me star coins, I might consider taking you in. How many star coins can you give me?"
In the past, he couldn’t see or touch the things around him, so he thought it didn’t matter whether he had star coins or not.
But now he is a real human being, so the more star coins he wants, the better. This is the first time he has made a lot of money in the small world. When he returns, he will show it off to other seniors!
"You can take as many as you want. I'm so poor now that these star coins are all I have left." Galliard said half-jokingly.
Robert standing next to him frowned. After all, he was not a member of Edward's main family, but only a side branch. Although he was talented enough, his family background was not as rich as those legitimate young masters. He frowned with a bit of jealousy.
The serious and depressed mood at the beginning completely disappeared when the little panda took care of him.
Fran was silent for two seconds because of what Galliard said, but he was not as thick-skinned as Galliard. Although he wanted to stay, he felt embarrassed seeing his friend pretending to be pitiful.
He looked at the boy in front of him, his eyes inadvertently passing over the ear on the top of his head, and his mind uncontrollably recalled the touch of the other person's real ear that he had touched before.
Fran felt an inexplicable itch in his throat. He cleared his throat twice and looked away. "My location is 33. If you need anything, you can come to me."
After saying this, as if to prove something, he stood up without even looking at the other person and left table 66.
"I thought he was going to give me star coins too." 011 nodded blankly after hearing Fran's words. He didn't expect the other party to turn around and leave so easily.
But he didn't take it to heart.
Soon the attention was diverted to the other side.
The auction officially began, and a uniformed staff member soon appeared on the stage and politely gestured to them.
011 then watched as they brought out a bottle of shiny-looking potion. The staff member explained that it was a potion that could enhance mental strength. "I thought the auction would be something like gemstones."
He leaned over and whispered in his host's ear.
If I had known earlier, I would have taken a look in advance at what items were included in this auction.
"This potion is not cheap, but there will be gemstones coming up for auction later. If you like them, I can buy them for you." Robert, who was standing next to him, was afraid that he would feel bored, so he quickly added.
Just as he was about to sit over, the blond young man next to him glanced at him indifferently.
Lu Tai on the opposite side was completely unpretentious.
A warning look was written on his face.
Robert deeply regretted agreeing to let the little panda bring his so-called friend here. He had originally wanted to spend some time alone together, but he didn't expect to be disturbed by these two third wheelers.
However, even though he said that, he was reluctant to directly reject Yao.
011 listened to all his talk, but in the end, she only caught the words "There will be gems later." Her beautiful eyes lit up, "Hehe, then don't worry about your wallet later."
He thought he looked fierce, but he didn't know that in the eyes of others he looked like a tsundere kitten.
Scratch people, but don't extend your claws.
"Buy whatever you want. If you can have a meal with me later, it doesn't matter if you buy a few more." Robert just thought he was cute. Which heir of a family would go bankrupt because of the few star coins he spent on chasing someone?
Only useless men would use such nonsense to PUA their wives.
011 hadn't expected such a good thing to happen. He could earn so many star coins just by following along for a meal. Just as he was about to agree, he heard Gary beside him speak softly, "Yaoyao, you don't have to put yourself in such a difficult position."
"Just tell me what you want. I know you don't like having to eat with people you hate for star coins." The young heir to the wealthy family spoke sincerely.
011 shifted his gaze feeling a bit guilty. He thought it was no big deal to earn so many star coins just by having a meal.
But since Galliard had said so, the red panda, who was very concerned about her reputation in front of so many people, couldn't admit that she was just greedy for money. She said vaguely with a stern face, "Then you must keep your word. In addition to paying for the seat, you must also buy me several gifts."
011 lamented that there are too many suckers in the world.
He was so proud of his intelligence that he had bullied another human and earned star coins. He happily continued to drink the apple juice in the cup while the host was not paying attention.
"Okay, I'll buy you whatever you want later, as an apology for disturbing you." Galliard said gently with a smile.
His gaze shifted to Robert next to him and began to lose warmth bit by bit. The world has become so dirty because of people like him.
He would never allow such a person to defile the red panda.
011 didn't notice the ups and downs between them. Because he drank a few more glasses of juice, his stomach was bloated again. "Host, host, I want to go to the bathroom."
The auction had already begun, and he wasn't sure if he could get up and go to the bathroom in the middle of it.
"Host, can you come with me? I don't want to go there alone." Seeing the host looking down at him, the little panda spoke in a low voice a little embarrassedly. Even though he was a system, he felt uncomfortable walking in front of so many people.
Although Lu Tai had never been to such an occasion, he had checked some precautions in advance.
There were no restrictions at this kind of auction. He touched the mask on the red panda's head, adjusted it slightly, and said, "Okay, I'll go with you. Is this heavy? Can we change into a different mask when we get there?"
Lu Tai has actually been paying attention to this.
Although I know that a red panda's main way of maintaining life is probably not breathing, I am still worried that he might have difficulty breathing or feel uncomfortable.
"I think it's a little heavy, but none of your masks are as pretty as mine." 011 still loves beauty.
He pushed the host urgingly, and then saw the cold and gentle gloomy young man look at the waiter next to him and signal. The other party quickly understood their meaning, "Sir, if you want to go to the bathroom, please follow me."
After saying that, she walked around the round table and came to 011.
011 nodded. He couldn't see much through the hood, but he always felt as if he was being stared at by the people around him. He nervously tugged at the host's sleeve, then followed him carefully out of his seat.
When he was far away from the auction venue and the surroundings suddenly became quieter, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"This is the nearest restroom. If you can't find the direction on your way back, you can ask the waiter on the road. Because of work regulations, I have to go back to table 66 first." The waiter's polite voice came, and then the footsteps gradually faded away.
011 tilted his head, and when the footsteps completely faded, he shook his host's arm and asked, "Is there no one around here?"
He muttered to himself. If the host hadn't said anything, he wouldn't have thought there was anything wrong. But after hearing the host say that wearing a headgear for a long time would make your neck sore, he inexplicably felt that his neck was particularly uncomfortable.
After hearing the affirmative answer, 011 took off his hood and shook the orange-red curls on his forehead that were a little wet with sweat.
His human shell completely simulates some of the physiological reactions of humans. Although he doesn't like sweating all the time and his fur getting wet, he has no choice but to give up considering that all humans are like this.
He has paid so much for his host!
Seeing the host take out a tissue, 011 tilted his pretty face up like a young master who was used to being served. He leaned forward a little to wipe his sweat. "It's all Robert's fault. He didn't tell me it was an anonymous auction. He must have wanted to see me make a fool of myself."
If he had known earlier, he would have bought a half-face mask with a red panda pattern online.
"Yes, it's all Robert's fault. Do you still want to have dinner with him?" Lu Tai held his pointed chin, his tone cold and calm, but his fingertips carefully wiped the sweat off his snow-white cheeks.
It seemed like just a simple question, but when the red panda's wet eyelashes trembled and it looked at him with some doubt, turning its caramel-colored glass-bead eyes, he pretended to look away casually.
Such emotions are wrong.
He has no identity and no qualifications, so he shouldn't interfere with the red panda's thoughts or who he wants to make friends with.
Lu Tai felt the softness on his fingertips, and his face, which had rarely been frowned since he met the red panda, was a little gloomy. Perhaps he was just worried.
It's like a baby bird in a cage about to be released.
Fearing that he would be devoured by some ravenous beast on the road.
He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he just pursed his lips to stop himself from crossing the line.
011 didn't notice the host's struggle. He was a system that liked to be lively, and of course, he liked to go out to eat the most. He subconsciously wanted to tell the truth, but he could inexplicably feel that the host didn't seem very happy.
He didn't know why his thinking module was working so fast. He rolled his eyes and hugged the host's waist, resting his chin on the gloomy young man's chest. His eyebrows curved and two dimples appeared. "Of course, of course I just want to go out to dinner with the host."
He understands the possessiveness of human cubs.
"You really just want to eat with me?" Looking at the red panda's eyes rolling around, he knew that these words were just to coax him, but the gloom that Lu Tai had felt after being met was instantly dissipated. Does Yaoyao's willingness to coax him mean that he is the red panda's favorite human?
The red panda always treats other people with slaps.
Lu Tai inexplicably felt a sense of happiness.
011 just breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the host being coaxed, but suddenly remembered that he came to the toilet. He hurriedly stuffed the hood in his arms to the gloomy young man next to him, and then ran into the cubicle without looking back.
When he came out, he saw the host with his back to him and seemed to be holding something in his hand.
011's evil intentions suddenly came to the fore, and he pounced on the human's back like a vicious bear, "Host, how come you didn't notice me this time? Are you hiding something from me?"
He rubbed the human in front of him with his orange curls.
"I'm helping you modify the mask. I just happened to buy an extra one in the store." Lu Tai put down the things in his hands, hugged the little panda swinging on the swing behind him into his arms, and then placed it safely on the ground.
011's attention was instantly drawn to his words. He peeked behind the host and found a mask placed on a tissue on the bathroom countertop.
He looked at the ears that had not yet been installed on the mask and covered his mouth in surprise, "Host, you are a genius!"
Putting the red panda's ears on the half-face mask will not affect the vision, but also highlight that he is a mighty and domineering red panda.
"Well, it will be fine soon." Lu Tai looked indifferent, but in fact he had thought of this scene in the doll shop.
So I bought two masks and some supplies like glue and scissors and put them in the space button. I was worried that the red panda would feel uncomfortable wearing the headgear.
After all, if we told Yaoyao at that time, this little panda would definitely not listen because he only had eyes for the headgear.
011 didn't know that he had been seen through by the host. He just watched eagerly as the mask was being made. Then he put it on his head with great interest. It was indeed much better than wearing that heavy hood.
He took the host's hand and walked out, "Host, you have worked hard to make the mask for me. Let me lead the way back."
011 felt it necessary to establish the image of a big boss, and he pulled the host to the right in a very calm and mature manner. He didn't notice that the host behind him glanced at the sign above, but just pursed his lips in a somewhat indulgent manner and let him lead him in the opposite direction.
However, Lu Tai didn't keep it a secret for long, as he soon discovered that something seemed amiss with the road.
011 finally stopped, looking at the sculpture of an ancient soldier on the wall and rubbing his chin. "Is there a sculpture like this in every corridor here? Why do I feel like this is the fifth time I've seen it?"
He felt that he would not take the wrong path.
"..." Of course, Lu Tai couldn't say that he had taken the wrong road, otherwise the red panda would probably get angry and come over to bite him. Although being bitten once or twice was quite interesting, it was not worth it to make the red panda angry.
He ruffled the panda's soft curly hair. "I think it might be a special design. Are you tired? How about I carry you on my back?"
I don’t know where they are going. It seems I have to find a map later. Although the red panda looks very cute with its proud look, if I miss the auction, I’m afraid this little one will cry again.
"I'm not tired. I don't believe I can't get out. These little tricks can't defeat me." 011 clenched his fist with high morale.
There were no passers-by along the way. If there were any, he could ask them. After all, even a memory master like him, the red panda's memory could be wrong.
Lu Tai pinched his palm and suddenly missed the time when he was a red panda.
But he didn't say anything in the end, letting the boy happily pull his hand and continue walking forward, and then started a new round of circles.
011 just kept moving forward. This time he decided not to turn and just go straight ahead.
He just didn't believe he couldn't get out of this circle.
Just as he was walking through the second corridor, he faintly heard human voices talking in front of him. Perhaps because they were too far away, he could only hear a few words, "Plan...complete...let Fran..."
It seems like they are discussing a big conspiracy.
[Fran? I remember Fran's father was thrown into prison for offending the Third Prince, wasn't he?] 011 quickly opened a dedicated communication channel with the host. [Who else would harm him at this stage? I heard the Third Prince was also disliked by the old emperor for his affection for his uncle and was sent to the border to mine.]
He found the original plot and read it several times. In the early stage, it was mainly about this scumbag father and the third prince causing trouble.
And his host's countless attempts to frame him.
Lu Tai shook his head. He used his mental power to cover up their breath so that the other party would not discover their presence. Then he was pulled a little closer by the red panda.
"Let's eavesdrop on what they're doing. Maybe we can earn some villain points." 011 made a shushing gesture.
They are still junior villains now, and they can't do bad things that directly hit people in the face like others. They can only follow behind these currently more powerful villains to pick up the leftovers.
011 quietly moved closer. Because the system had sharp hearing and was focused, it was able to hear what they were talking about.
"We must be well prepared and find a way to lure Fran to the VIP room in the corner of the second floor. Find a reason that won't attract attention, and it would be best if everyone thought he left on his own."
"I know. Nothing will happen to my brother, right?"
"No, that kind of medicine won't kill people directly. It just puts them into a state of suspended animation. After taking the antidote, they'll be able to jump around like normal people without any side effects. When the antidote is done, the star coins will be sent to your light brain."
…
As if they had determined that there was no one around, they lowered their voices but were not overly vigilant.
He had no idea that someone was eavesdropping from across the corridor.
011 roughly understood what was going on. These people were trying to frame Fran for murder and achieve some other goal. [The VIP room at the end of the second floor...]
He recalled it carefully again, but did not find any information related to this matter in the original book.
[Host, please wait here obediently. I'll go see what their specific plan is.] 011 glanced at his skills that hadn't yet gone on cooldown, then rubbed his hands together in excitement.
Without waiting for the gloomy young man next to him to answer, he immediately turned into a small ball and passed through the wall into the body of one of the people.
Then, stealthily emerging with a book in his arms, he threw himself back into his host's arms, "Let me see if there's anything in their plan we can exploit?"
011Open that human’s life script.
This person's mental power level didn't seem to be very high, and his skill could detect quite a few things, so he quickly found the text related to this matter.
[Fran's father was surprisingly not killed by the Third Prince. He was finally released from prison by the Crown Prince.] 011 glanced at it briefly.
It turned out that it was the work of this scumbag father again. He played the emotional card and said that he was worried about Fran being alone and wanted to come out to see his child for the last time. In fact, he discovered that the crown prince wanted to win over their family.
With such an outstanding descendant like Fran, he seems less important.
So this ruthless man wanted to kill Fran secretly and force the crown prince to save his life, otherwise if the family fell into the hands of others, it would definitely not develop as well as in the hands of the father and son.
The help to the Crown Prince is also minimal.
So this good father specifically designed to ruin Fran's reputation here.
011The more I look at it, the more I feel that humans are a strange species.
He took a quick look at the other party's plan, his heart softening a bit, then suddenly remembered that he was now a villain system. "I think this time we can imitate the way we bullied Gary before, and then secretly take credit for the other villains' achievements."
He had to see if there was any place where they could slip in without leaving a trace.
"Forget it, let's go there first and confirm the location beforehand so we don't get lost again." 011 said this with a guilty conscience. If he couldn't find the place and things got delayed, then he'd be making a huge loss this time.
Lu Tai rubbed his head indulgently and nodded.
011 tugged at his sleeves, and when the host looked at him, he felt a little embarrassed. "Then host, you lead the way this time."
If such a smart system like his gets lost, he doesn't believe that a human like the host won't get lost either. He will laugh at the host when the time comes.
Seeing that his evil intentions were written all over his face, Lu Tai immediately shook his head with amusement.
But he didn't say much. He held the other person's hand, recalled the sign he had just seen, and walked along the corridor pointed by the arrow.
"I think I hear some noise outside. Let's not go up to them before going upstairs." As they were getting further and further away from the corridor where they had just heard the conspiracy, 011 pulled the host in his usual way of speaking.
Lu Tai paused and looked to the right. "Then let's take the elevator on the right to the second floor."
He recalled the floor plan just now. It seemed that there was an elevator on each side. He just didn't know if there would be a dedicated elevator manager waiting inside.
"But if we go over there, what if the surveillance camera sees us sneaking around and thinks we are bad guys?" 011 also thought about the problem of being seen.
But he quickly asked back, "Those humans shouldn't be so stupid, right? Shouldn't they...?"
011 was a little unsure. After all, there was someone who didn't dare to give the drug but dared to put it in his pocket, for fear that others would not know that it was him who gave the drug.
"Probably not. I think the protagonist Fran's father should be smarter than the reckless Third Prince." Lu Tai rubbed his slightly cold face soothingly.
After all, they saw what happened back then.
If it weren't for the fact that the unknown person under the Third Prince had a weak mental defense, there would be no way to drag Fran's father into the water.
I'm afraid that by then everyone will think he is a good father, while Fran, on the contrary, will be infamous. He will continue to climb up steadily, stepping on the corpses of his children and wife.
011 nodded, not quite understanding, and recalled what happened before, and found that Fran's father seemed to be smarter.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief, holding the host's hand and stealthily walking forward, hiding behind the host all the way to avoid the camera for fear of being discovered.
Halfway through the walk, he realized that since the host had been discovered, why should he hide?
I just gave up and got into the elevator with my head held high.
011 didn't notice the rare smile on the host's face. He studied the information he had just recorded and came to the VIP room at the end of the east side of the second floor.
He tiptoed closer, intending to eavesdrop on what was going on inside. However, just as he stuck his head in, he saw the door suddenly opened.
The people inside didn't expect that someone outside would eavesdrop and were so frightened that they were stunned.
"Don't shout! Otherwise, snap!" 011 suddenly became bolder when he saw that it was a young male human. He directly covered the human's mouth and made a ferocious gesture of wiping his neck.
Seeing the young man with fresh and handsome eyebrows nodded somewhat unnaturally, he pushed the man in fiercely.
The door was closed, and the young human in front of him blushed slightly as he introduced himself haltingly, "Who are you? Why are you breaking into my room?"
He is tall and well-proportioned, with a very traditional oriental handsome appearance with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes.
"Of course it's because we know your secret. Now you have to agree to all my requests." 011 is a little panda spring. He is strong when others are weak. Seeing that the human in front of him was so scared that he didn't dare to look into his eyes, he immediately toughened up.
Only when the host behind him pulled him into a hot embrace did he stop and continue to speak harshly.
011 struggled to poke his head out from under his host's arm, thinking he was being incredibly ferocious. He didn't realize the two humans in the room were looking at his ears. "Your role in this plan is to play dead, right? Why haven't you done it yet? What if the plan is moved up? What are you going to do? This is so unprofessional!"
He criticized his colleagues in a very bad way, rolled his eyes and suddenly had a good idea.
"I'm sorry." When the young man looked at him, he always inexplicably recalled the soft touch of rushing into his arms just now, and the unknown fragrance that came to his nose. Now he still felt a little hot on his face.
He didn't know the identity of this young man and how he knew their plan.
So he just offered a vague apology.
011 didn't realize this seemingly easy-to-bully human was playing tricks on him, so he started to show his true colors. "I just heard downstairs that the medicine I gave you has very, very, very serious side effects. You'll become uglier if you take it!"
The red panda blinked its big eyes, and no one would have thought that beneath its cute appearance was a heart that wanted to cause trouble.
"I'm not afraid of side effects. Who are you and how do you know about the medicine?" The young man's expression became more serious. He originally thought that the boy was just trying to trick him, but he didn't expect that the other party even knew about the medicine.
What is the purpose of these two people coming here?
011, now wearing a mask and not afraid at all, snorted twice, crossed his arms and looked at him, "If you're not afraid, why don't you eat? I'm not a particularly bad general, oh no, human. If you don't want to eat, just give us the job."
This was the bright idea that suddenly came to him.
What job is easier than this?
I just closed my eyes and opened them again, and this plot point passed by.
It's just pretending to be dead. If this human can do it, then his host can naturally do it too. Moreover, he is such an important character, so he must earn more villain points than the previous small villain who pointed fingers in the crowd.
“???” The young man thought that he was going to make some profound request, but it turned out that he was just here to steal his place.
He wanted to say coldly that he was not afraid of this at all, but when he met those bright caramel-colored eyes, his temper disappeared in an instant.
Just when he felt that things were a little magical, a young man who was very handsome even through the mask came over.
"If you don't agree, you can give it a try. The host and I will knock you out and tie you up." 011 was now completely an unreasonable little bully. "If you don't want to suffer, then do the work obediently. No, leave the task to us."
He really didn't want to give up such a good job.
"..." The young man felt the warmth and softness of the beauty in his arms, as well as the ferocious and violent mental power wrapped around the boy, which would wipe out his throat if he got one step closer. He swallowed and finally nodded.
011 instantly became excited, "Then go wherever you want, this place is ours now!"
He is indeed the smartest system in the world. The host plays such an important role in this villainy this time that he can definitely be worth ten villains at once, which is more than all the villain points he has earned before.
"Get out." Lu Tai, who was standing next to him, could no longer stand the man's infatuated look when he looked at the red panda, and spoke coldly.
After the other party nodded and left, he pinched the ears of the red panda mask and asked, "Do you want me to lie on this bed and pretend to be dead in his place?"
He thinks that although the red panda's thoughts are sometimes strange, they are also quite cute.
But since the other party likes to play.
Then there's nothing wrong with playing with him.
"Don't worry, host. I'll cover your head shortly so no one will notice you've been switched." 011 thought he was worried about that, and immediately patted his chest and assured, "I definitely won't let anyone get close to you!"
However, what he got in return was the host's big hand pinching the flesh on his face, "Why do you keep others away from me?"
"Me? Of course I'm right next to you. I'll cry if they get close to me." 011 proudly put her hands on her hips, then ran to the bedside to hide from her host. Then, she curled her lips like a widow weeping at a grave, "You died tragically! What would I do if you left me all alone..."
Before he finished his performance, the host pinched his chin and forced him to look up to see the host's rare smiling face.
"It's amazing! If someone didn't know me, they'd think I was really dead." Lu Tai pinched the red panda's face into a chicken's beak and secretly took a photo with his laptop, his face still serious. "So, are you going to start crying now?"
"Of course not." 011 said slurred words.
He roughly went over his plan in his mind, then broke free from the host's hand and sat on the bed, counting on his fingers as he discussed the steps of the conspiracy with the host, "Soon I'll say you went to get me some new juice, and then after a while I'll say I can't contact you, and then rush out to find you..."
"Are you alone down there?" When Lu Tai heard that he wanted to act alone, he thought of what happened on the Qixiang.
And the last time, there was Galliard’s birthday party.
These are the consequences of the red panda acting alone.
Lu Tai wanted to suggest that they should act together, but he felt helpless as he was held by the red panda's waist and rubbed left and right. Faced with the red panda's coquettishness, he could only surrender and said, "Then you must pay attention to safety."
Although he was still a little worried, he was afraid that the red panda would get angry and upset.
"Don't worry, host!" 011 became excited in an instant. He quickly said goodbye to the host, then ran downstairs and returned to his seat.
Galliard's expression didn't change much compared to Robert's.
But he was obviously relieved to see him come back.
"I'm fine. I just had to change my mask so I was delayed a bit on the way." 011 saw them and began to recite the lines he had prepared in advance. "Lu Tai went to get me some watermelon juice. He'll be back soon."
He thought his prepared speech was flawless.
"Host, host, they're all so stupid. I fooled them so easily. I'll be coming up to you soon. You must do your best to pretend to be dead." 011 opened the exclusive channel to show off to the host, "Otherwise, if we're discovered and we don't cooperate well, Fran's father will frame Fran, and our villain value will be gone!"
He whispered something to the host, but after waiting for a while, he didn't hear any response from the host on the other side.
Just when 011 was wondering if there was another bug in the panel, the other party quickly replied with a "OK". He became happy again, not noticing that Galliard's gaze in front of him was getting darker and darker.
And Fran, who was walking in this direction not far behind him, suddenly stopped.
He slowly raised his head and looked towards the second floor.
