Don't Pick Up Boyfriends From The Trash - Chap 228
Before the lunch started, there were more than a dozen more aliens who came to join us.
Ying Lou, despite the fact that she had a good amount of advance, there were still not enough dishes in the end.
He drained and sliced half of the extra mushrooms from the mushroom stir-fry, diced the boneless chicken thighs and marinated them in the prepared ginger sauce, then stir-fried the diced chicken until cooked, poured the sauce over the cooked glutinous rice and served it as a simple and delicious glutinous chicken rice.
Most of the people were hungry for more than a day, and when they saw the hot food, their eyes turned green and they gobbled it up with bowls.
There are a few cautious aliens, until they see the others eat, to make sure the meal is okay, before they dare to eat.
Xiaochi Chi has nothing better to do than to write canteen slogans on the floor with a small stick by the stove.
“Body fat still need to eat less, people beautiful need to read more.”
Ying Lou looked down and found Xiaochi Chi making trouble again: “Stop it, wash your hands, it’s time to eat.”
Xiaochi Chi dutifully washed her hands and was about to open the pot and stove when Ying Lou picked up a large sea bowl that was upside down on a glass bowl, revealing a bowl of freshly cooked noodles with shredded pork and egg: “Here, it’s a small stove for you.”
Xiaochi Chi’s heart warmed and she quickly took the bowl into her arms, “Thank you, brother.”
Ying Lou was a bit amused: “Just one bowl, no one will grab it from you.”
After everyone had eaten, Ying Lou’s hustle and bustle came to an end.
He wiped his hands with a soft cloth, watching Xiaochi Chi bury his head and sucking noodles, his heart was very ironic.
Ying Lou said, “Look, you’ve been preparing all morning, and in the end you’re still a little short of the mealtime.”
With that, he sighed seemingly unintentionally, “…… Not every plan is perfect, ah.”
What sounded like an ordinary complaint made Xiaochi Chi’s hand lurch.
The pause was too brief, and he began to eat again, only this time, he buried his face in the bowl of noodles, the heat rising to the lenses of his glasses, adding a layer of white mist that blocked his eyes.
Ying Lou picked up the vinegar jug and added two drops to Xiaochi Chi’s bowl, “Since you can’t be perfect, don’t force yourself ……”
Xiaochi Chi interrupted him, “I’m eating hot. Want to find a cooler place to eat.”
“Go ahead.” Ying Lou said gently, “It’s time for me to take a walk in the Alter Ego. There’s something about …… that I want to be a little concerned about and want to make sure.”
Xiaochi Chi reluctantly said, “What is it?”
“We are not sure yet.” Ying Lou is always cautious, “I’ll let you know when it’s clear.”
Xiaochi Chi rolled her eyes and said to herself, “…… You’ll always have this problem.”
Ying Lou : “What?”
Xiaochi Chi got up with his bowl, “It’s nothing, I’m leaving.”
Xiaochi Chi picked up the noodle bowl and ran like hell to the pond where the fragrance of loosestrife had not yet dissipated.
The consciousness of ” Anyi Bai” is not yet time to dissipate, so it takes in the conversation of both people.
He tsked twice, “Your plan is completely seen through, huh?”
Xiaochi Chi said to himself, “…… Why? What did I reveal?”
It is clear that he intentionally showed absolute confidence in his plan when talking to Ying Lou, and did not reveal anything when “Anyi Bai” was testing himself, just in case Ying Lou and his consciousness interfaced and noticed something.
How does …… work?
“He might have known it from the beginning.” ” Anyi Bai” spoke up, “…… you use Jiangyu Chi , a force to make him a target of things.”
Having clarified the basic situation of the world, all of Xiaochi Chi’s actions are aimed at trying to make everyone think that Jiangyu Chi is a multi-powered person.
With this purpose as a premise, several possibilities arise, rather than the “absolute security” Xiaochi Chi has repeatedly emphasized.
However, after eliminating one of the worst and worst endings, whichever is possible, it will ultimately point to an “absolute”.
…… Anyi Bai , is definitely the one who is most likely to survive to the end.
That worst ending was that after learning of the presence of multiple alters in the team, the authorities immediately suspended the game, interrupted the live broadcast, and performed an instant purge of all alters to prevent the presence of multiple alters from spreading.
This Spartan means is indeed hard-core and the most once and for all, however, the research value of the first discovery of multiple alters, the possible resistance of the live viewers, the gambling platter that has been turned on and running, and so on, are all factors that the authorities must consider to deliberate.
If the agency really cared about this, they would have used all kinds of tactics to check whether Jiangyu Chi is a multi-powered person.
For this reason, Xiaochi Chi deliberately chose the number one odds-on Dirty Dreadlock Man to start.
Sure enough, he made Jiangyu Chi famous.
They have both escaped the institutional “catfish” and managed to attract the attention of all the live viewers, no matter how malicious the attention is, at least, the institutions no longer dare to blatantly send “catfish” to test and contact Jiangyu Chi. The first time I saw him, I was able to get the attention of the audience.
Such a loud and dramatic line, naturally will also attract the attention of the team of “catfish”.
There are two different paths that institutions can take to deal with these “catfish”.
I. Kill the “catfish” and protect the multi-alien from damage;
Second, the “catfish” was allowed to approach Jiangyu Chi, spy more information, and even kill Jiangyu Chi.
In fact, both are possible.
Faced with the temptation of “multiple aliens”, the agency clearly chose the former, and Xiaochi Chi indirectly confirmed this suspicion through last night’s unusual death report.
But in his presentation, he selectively stated only the former so as to make his plan sound incredibly reliable.
With “Catfish” out of commission and Jiangyu Chi in the limelight, the most effective way for the organization to confirm his identity was to “ask him directly”.
Xiaochi Chi and Ying Lou still have a tacit understanding.
He was sure that Jiangyu Chi would take this opportunity to try to speak up and ask the agency to protect Anyi Bai.
In this way, Jiangyu Chi’s status as a multi-powered alien is confirmed by the agency.
Further on, several more possibilities are extended.
One, after discussion, the organization determined the value of Jiangyu Chi’s research as a “multi-powered person” and wanted to protect Jiangyu Chi to the end, following his proposed plan exactly.
Then, according to the agreement between them, Anyi Bai’s safety will be perfectly protected by both official institutions and Jiangyu Chi.
Second, the agency after discussion, determined to kill Jiangyu Chi, to end the future.
Since the agency did not interrupt the game or the broadcast at the beginning, the choice to interrupt now would be highly unlikely. This would immediately kill Jiangyu Chi, which would undoubtedly cause a backlash from viewers. After all, Jiangyu Chi’s previous high-profile moves had made many viewers think he was the favorite to win the title and bet big money on him.
So, the agency should not kill him right away, possibly after both the game and gambling are over.
In this way, before Jiangyu Chi’s death, Anyi Bai will also be sheltered; after Jiangyu Chi’s death, Anyi Bai’s identity as the “cousin” of Jiangyu Chi, a multi-powered person, is also very likely to become a talisman belonging to him.
In the same way as the previous option, Xiaochi Chi still selectively narrates the best ending.
If you compare everything Xiaochi Chi has done so far to an RPG, then what Xiaochi Chi chooses to state, and wants everyone to believe, is that perfect Happy Ending reached by choosing the best option all the way through: — killing all by borrowing a knife “catfish”, avenge the two Anyi Bai from the previous life, then gather all the aliens, try to bring them out of this ridiculous battle royale world, create chaos, and eventually, escape with everyone else.
“Anyi Bai” once asked Xiaochi Chi why Jiangyu Chi was allowed to be a multi-powered person when the identity of “multi-powered person” was so safe.
At the time, Xiaochi Chi was reluctant to say anything, giving him two reasons and a bet.
But after sorting through all the possibilities on her own, “Anyi Bai” found that Jiangyu Chi, who was pushed to the forefront of the storm, is actually the most dangerous one.
He takes all the risks.
He may have the last laugh, or he may die a violent death on the spot.
Xiaochi Chi has been cheating people.
Lying to “Anyi Bai”, to Jiangyu Chi, and even to Xiaochi Chi himself, by lying to them that the plan is safe and harmless and will be executed smoothly all the way through.
However, the truth is that the only person most likely to survive is Xiaochi Chi’s target, Anyi Bai.
For the sake of Anyi Bai, he chose to let Jiangyu Chi take risks, even, at the expense of Jiangyu Chi.
In response, ” Anyi Bai” said, “I am grateful to you and thank you on his behalf. But why?”
The bowl of noodles Xiaochi Chi brought to him was set aside and he never touched another chopstick.
Half of the bowl of noodles was already cold, and the beaten egg yolk became a layer of floating powder on the noodle soup, which made people lose their appetite.
Xiaochi Chi : “What ‘why’?”
” Anyi Bai “: “Why not just follow the process honestly. You, me, Jiangyu Chi , the three of us, if we cooperate, we can easily get two spots and get out alive.”
Xiaochi Chi said, “You think so.”
” Anyi Bai “: “……”
Xiaochi Chi: “If you follow the process, in the eyes of those viewers, you are Anyi Bai’s psychic ability. If you explain to them that you are Anyi Bai’s second personality with self-awareness and evolved powers, do you think they will believe you? So either you don’t show up or Anyi Bai can’t show any other psychic ability, otherwise, Anyi Bai will be recognized as a multiple psychic. Now all the threats and dangers to my brother will fall on his head. Is that what you are happy to see?”
” Anyi Bai” indistinctly.
In this way, either their combat power will be tragically weakened, or Anyi Bai will be considered as a multi-powered alien.
Even if the first can rely on the number of psychics, the official and gamblers’ attention distraction advantage concealed for a period of time, until later, the psychics less, they will inevitably expose – reveal strength.
When the time comes, Anyi Bai will be judged as a multi-powered person, they will lose the first opportunity and will be passive.
…… but ……
“Even if you don’t show your powers, it’s no problem.” ” Anyi Bai” said, “I was careless last time, but with my ability and Jiangyu Chi’s, we can always protect Bai to the end, two places ……”
“My brother is not from this world!” Xiaochi Chi blurted out, “He can’t take up the survival quota of other aliens! If it really comes down to the end of one hundred and one choices, he must die too!”
Anxiety, depression, irritability, all the negative emotions exploded in Xiaochi Chi’s body in this moment.
Xiaochi Chi endured a pinprick-like headache, removed his glasses, covered half of his face, and bent down unbearably.
This unspoken decision made ” Anyi Bai ” all cold.
Looking back, he exclaimed, “Oh, that’s cold-blooded.”
Xiaochi Chi eased through the worst of the headache before she buried her face in her palm and whispered, “Are you so eager to play along with them in this game?”
He said to himself: “Obviously there is a way to use the identity of multiple aliens to attract everyone over and bring them out, why must kill? One hundred and one choose three, Lou is the one who must die, he is so good, he will definitely choose to sacrifice himself at the end …… so my plan will definitely work, everything is going well, Lou has not had any accidents until now, my luck is good …… outside should have been carried out to Negotiate whether to keep him or kill him step, no problem, they definitely do not spare a mature multi-powered alien ……”
” Anyi Bai” took Xiaochi Chi’s perversity to heart.
When Xiaochi Chi’s voice lowered and weakened as he muttered to himself, he asked, “Why didn’t you tell your brother about your plan?”
Xiaochi Chi rubbed messy forehead hair, and hair grip: “Tell him, let him know that I intend to let him go risk his life for the sake of the task object? He will certainly agree, but I …… have no way to face him, no way to tell him that he may …… so I alone know it, no need for him …… ”
“Oh. You were hoping he’d die before you understood your plan?”
“I told you, I won’t let him die in front of me again!” Xiaochi Chi reluctantly lowered his voice, “…… I will try.”
” Anyi Bai” cried and laughed: “You are a person, are you rational or emotional?”
Xiaochi Chi is silent.
He feels that this question is not important, he is not important at all, what is important is Ying Lou and Anyi Bai, so there is no need to answer at all.
“But all is happy now.” ” Anyi Bai” spreads a hand, “He probably already knew that, and by the looks of it, he’s happy to be your prop.”
Xiaochi Chi pinched Solar Plexus: “Shut up.”
“What, still not satisfied with the plan? Honestly, you’ve made it this far ……”
“No, it’s not enough. It’s not complete enough.” Xiaochi Chi says, “Maybe I’m missing something. ……”
” Anyi Bai” is also a brain of lawsuits when it comes to such difficult people: “Well, well, instead of dwelling on that loophole that I don’t know if it exists, why don’t you tell me what you have to do to get everyone out?”
Xiaochi Chi rubbed his face, trying his best to keep himself awake through the headache: “…… lock spirit bottle.”
” Anyi Bai”: “What is that?”
“An exchange prop.” Xiaochi Chi said. Xiaochi Chi said, “At first, my brother’s boss threw me into the psychic world, I was not prepared at all, but finally redeemed a spirit lock bottle, which worked quite well. Later, I was afraid that he would do the same thing again, so I made a lot of locking bottles. As a result, it did not come in handy once ……”
Xiaochi Chi said here, happy out loud: “He set a set, quite creative, first let me be a general, and then throw me here, but just want to force me to kill.”
” Anyi Bai”: “You haven’t said what that spirit locking bottle is for.”
“…… is specifically for storing soul energy bodies.”
After a brief explanation, Xiaochi Chi looked to the already fed Alter Ego and said, “A whole hundred of them, simply too good for this occasion.”
Until late in the evening, Xiaochi Chi’s fears had not been realized.
By about 2:00 or 3:00 p.m., the game area, excluding players who died or committed suicide in various melee and encounters, and excluding Xiaochi Chi and Ying Lou, the total number of survivors was 75, all concentrated in the C3 area.
Half of them trust Jiangyu Chi, think he does have the ability to take the crowd away, half of them want to wait and see, if he is interested in concentrating the players, gather and destroy, then they can also swarm, with dozens against one, not afraid to get him killed.
Their names are all registered by Xiaochi Chi, one by one.
But there is a player who is still hunkered down in his hiding place, waiting for a long time to arrive.
The masters in the pop-up area waited impatiently and gradually ran out of patience and called out.
“Fuck, coward, what kind of game do you play when you’re so timid?”
“He was in the H1 area, hiding in a cave and pretending to be dead, dry and waiting for what, a team of people drove over and scared him to death.”
“What are you waiting for him for? Fight, why don’t you fight.”
“And and flat out fake or not, stuff an olive branch into their mouths, OK?”
Xiaochi Chi calculated that it was almost time to wait any longer, the mood of the other psychics is likely to be more and more affected by the pop-ups, and if a riot occurs – I’m afraid it will be difficult to clean up.
Once all the other players are put into storage with the locking spirit bottle, the one player in hiding, plus Jiangyu Chi, plus Anyi Bai, should be considered the last three survivors.
Xiaochi Chi remembered the anomaly that Ying Lou mentioned today and went to take a special interest: “Did you find anything?”
Ying Lou’s response was, “It’s been solved. Don’t worry.”
To avoid Xiaochi Chi’s worry, he explained again, “I scanned everyone’s belongings and found no items like bronze medals. So, there should be no ‘catfish’ among us.”
Xiaochi Chi gave a hmmm, his heart still a little heavy.
Hazily, he always felt a little uneasy.
This is the time when Rou Zhao is supposed to play a role.
Although Xiaochi Chi warned her not to use her precognition without permission, Rou Zhao kept turning on her precognition for peace of mind because she was worried about the mutation, ignoring the mental drain it would have on her.
Two hours ago, she passed out and couldn’t be shaken awake.
Without this layer of security, Xiaochi Chi’s heart is not secure, but the situation is such that it can no longer be delayed.
He said, “Get ready to do it.”
Ying Lou : “Yeah.”
Ying Lou’s attitude was so calm that Xiaochi Chi couldn’t help but give him a look.
Ying Lou was gently hooked by his gaze, also looked down at him, the gaze is not concealed condemnation or anger, only the light of tolerance that makes people’s hearts soft.
…… as long as you want, as long as I can.
Now thinking of his meaningful promise, Xiaochi Chi bowed his head.
Ying Lou ran one hand through his hair and gave it a gentle rub.
There were no extra words from the two men, no admission of fault, and no forgiveness.
Because they are all here for one purpose, other things can be left for later, when there is time, and then speak slowly.
Ying Lou straightened the mask on his face and stood up.
For a while, off screen and in game, countless lines of sight were directed at him.
Some of the alters stood up, and some had already secretly mobilized their powers, ready to defend themselves.
“Everyone ……” Ying Lou’s voice was clear, “Please forgive me if I offend.”
…… live streamers brainstorming in the blood and rain of the great battle did not appear.
Dozens of strong light flashed across the screen, like snow bright lightning abruptly shaking fire chain, stinging people’s eyes pain, until the crowd barely opened their eyes, only to find, standing in the middle of the wilderness, there are only Jiangyu Chi and Anyi Bai two people left.
The emergency response department was stunned for a dozen seconds and exploded into a frenzy.
“Confirm the situation, where did all the other aliens go?!”
“Report report report! Signal all disconnected! Positioning failed! The collar does not detect any life signs!”
“Playback! Playback! What the hell just happened?!”
The big picture is settled, the pop-up area in addition to part of the cursing, complaining about not seeing clearly how to kill so many people at once, discussing what the hell is this alien power, most people are in the pop-up celebrations.
They all invested a large sum of money to buy Jiangyu Chi to survive.
Although the odds are infinitely closer to 1 to 1, it’s good to get money back.
After confirming that all 75 spirit vials were filled, Ying Lou also turned toward Xiaochi Chi and smiled gently, “Don’t worry. We can also prepare to leave now.”
Xiaochi Chi looked around the vast wilderness, as if there was: “…… In fact, I have another idea.”
Ying Lou : “It’s sh ……”
His words, no more could be said.
Xiaochi Chi stared blankly at the bloodied hand coming out of Ying Lou’s left front chest, losing all ability to organize words, his face turning a little bit bloodless white, as if all the blood in his body had been lost along with Ying Lou.
He thought, “What is this.
…… jokes about it.
All the people were dumbfounded.
The player who had poured all his money on Jiangyu Chi to win, the head of the emergency department who had just received a new notice to “keep Jiangyu Chi alive for research”, and Xiaochi Chi all stared at the person who was smiling and peeking out from behind Jiangyu Chi, their minds Their minds were spinning and their bodies were tingling.
He seemed to be a ghost growing out of the wilderness and flat land.
…… just now, he was clearly not there.
Xiaochi Chi heard his own voice, unusually calm, calm and somewhat eerie: “…… Wei …… sixteen.”
“Not Wei XVI Oh~”
Wei XVI’s skin was covered with a special substance, like the result of being poured a bucket of glue and then quickly air-dried, the skin tightly contracted, the features were deformed, and the body showed a light pink sheen.
…… seems to be undergoing an unsightly metamorphosis.
The way he looks at Xiaochi Chi is full of playfulness and cynicism, exactly the same way he looked at Xiaochi Chi with a tilted head when they met in the car.
He twirled his fingers slightly, satisfied to hear the sound of blood and flesh coming from Ying Lou’s wound, and listened to the heavenly music with a sigh of satisfaction.
His voice made a unmistakable male and female shrill sound due to the tightening up of his bird muscles.
“…… Now, I am Wei 17 la.”
