The higher you go, the steeper the angle becomes, and it becomes a bit difficult to climb.
There was a full moon hanging outside, and the black cat looked up as if it was running towards the moon. Compared to the elegance of each of its steps, it looked oddly... dignified.
In the last short distance, the black cat leaped nimbly and landed steadily.
Just now when it was in mid-air, the mimic octopus held its tail tightly to prevent itself from falling. Now it climbed onto the black cat's clean back, wishing it could bury its entire head in it: what a soft touch!
The joy of successfully leaving the hospital made Wen Shi not care too much about the slippery feeling on his back. After experiencing this damn tour group, he had a feeling that he would not think about traveling again for a long time.
The old lady came up with a mirror. Wen Shi turned around and saw the state of his transformed body clearly for the first time in the dirty mirror.
It really looks like it's very nice to knead. Even he, who has no special preference for small animals, wants to touch its smooth fur.
There's a cool breeze outside.
The bus took dozens of minutes to get here, so if we wanted to get back to the inn, we definitely couldn't walk. Taking a taxi late at night wasn't a wise decision either, so Wen Shi jumped onto a bench not far away and took a short rest.
The old lady sat down next to it. From her perspective, the moonlight poured down on the cat, and it seemed as if something deeper was flowing out of the black cat's body along with the moonlight.
Finally, the black cat opened his mouth and asked a question that humans could never avoid: "What do you think of life and death?"
The old lady said without hesitation: "Let it be."
There is something soothing about her naturally soft voice.
Wen Shi made a hypothesis: "What if one day, I die young?"
"I'll find a way to revive you." The old lady answered even more decisively than before.
“…” What happened to letting things take their course
The old lady is essentially no longer a human being. Her way of thinking is like that of a monster. What she calls "letting nature take its course" is the natural law of the survival of the fittest.
Wen Shi has a more traditional way of thinking. In his eyes, nature refers to natural cause and effect.
When it comes to the understanding of life and death, Wen Shi is destined to find it difficult to find a common understanding with his family. After all, he is deeply influenced by his adoptive father, and even his way of looking at things has continued.
Plop.
Wen Shi looked in the direction of the sound and it seemed that some sound came from the other side of the suspension bridge.
B2 floor, next to the suspension bridge.
The ones who jumped down one after another were Li Nan and others who had just come out of the mirror space.
They completed one more task in the mirror space and obtained relatively complete clues. They knew that the iron chain could not be touched. After coming out, several people jumped directly into the abyss.
"Playing tricks." The young man complained about the sign of Naihe Bridge with disgust, and used a steel pipe to disperse the faceless people around him to get relatively more air circulation.
Yu Xingzhou looked around but did not see any trace of Wen Shi.
The boy was not worried about Wen Shi's survival at all: "He must have gone out."
As early as when they were calling out to the souls in the mirror house, the original body didn't call out anything, proving that Wen Shi had a natural resistance to mirror-type ghosts, and he himself did not copy this ability, so it could only be a new function developed by the other party in this copy.
"hateful."
The young man frowned. Everyone was playing the same game, which proved that the original body had left him far behind again.
Mobile phones have regained their usefulness here. Li Nan is crowded among a group of faceless people, typing quickly on the screen.
Yu Xingzhou: "The rules here have nothing to do with mobile phones, right?"
Li Nan said without even looking up: "After landing, I went out directly. I will contact Shadow and tell him the correct way out. I will ask him to bring me a bottle of God-level Evolution Liquid."
Both parties had used promise props beforehand, and these were written into the treaty. If one party discovered the storage location of the evolutionary fluid, it would need to bring it back for the other party.
Yu Xingzhou suddenly became very curious about where his shadow would rebel.
Li Nan was well aware of the other party's confusion and calmly answered: "Restraint."
In many things, he has been restraining himself, unlike his shadow, who indulges himself in order to create chaos in the world. However, the premise of all indulgence is based on survival.
Survival is the first priority.
This is the common understanding between the shadow and the original body.
As the two were talking, Yu Xingzhou keenly sensed something was wrong. When he looked up, he saw a black cat appearing on the edge of the suspension bridge above.
It was the first time he had seen such a pure black breed, and it felt like a dark night. The moment his eyes met the cat's, Yu Xingzhou narrowed his eyes and thought of something: "Pei Wenwei?"
Pei Wenwei can transform into a half-human, half-cat appearance. When he talked about his experience on the negative first floor, he mentioned the mission upgrade. Yu Xingzhou opened his mouth tentatively and called out.
"You have to wait for more than 20 minutes." The black cat nodded proudly, "When the brain monster's nerves radiate randomly, just follow the veins and climb up."
As it spoke, the cat's tail wrapped around a bottle of evolution liquid and threw it towards the boy, who caught it accurately.
Black Cat: "You're welcome."
Wen Shi had heard what Li Nan said before, and knowing that the other party had a way, he did not give him any more.
The boy once again realized that he was a gigolo.
The brain monster's eating time was quite regular, and after about twenty minutes, the familiar earthquake occurred.
The black cat took a few steps back. This time, it could see everything clearly from its perspective. Its nerves were squeezing out from any tiny gaps. I'm afraid there is only one special creature like the Brain Monster in the entire copy. It uses part of the essence of the True Spirit as its heart and has no specific monster form.
Li Nan and Yu Xingzhou both had good physical fitness, and the former used spider silk props to move faster. Compared with them, the boy was in a more awkward situation, relying on his incomplete body transformation to barely ensure that he would not be thrown away by the angry nerves.
He struggled to climb up, with nothing but scarlet nerves. When he looked up, he saw the black cat looking down at him.
"Hello slow."
A precise strike at a warm time.
"Fuck." The steel pipe in his hand became a burden at this time.
Wen Shi kindly stepped on a nerve and walked down, helped him roll up the steel pipe and transported it to the top. He was very steady throughout the whole process, and it was no exaggeration to say that he was a natural acrobatic master.
The boy once again witnessed the difference between his original self and his shadow.
The three of them came up one after another, and after taking a few breaths of fresh air, the fatigue in their eyes dissipated a little.
The boy suddenly felt a sense of realization: "It's over."
Wen Shi's transformed body would still take some time to disappear. He didn't like to look up when talking, so he jumped onto the boy's shoulder and resumed his original sitting position: "Does the game say you can enter the virtual world?"
calm.
For the sake of the God-level Evolutionary Fluid, the young man tried hard not to throw the weight off his shoulders.
"No," he said coldly, "but I can go to different dungeons and have freelance status. The game doesn't guarantee safety unless you work for it."
NPCs with the status of formal employees will be further protected by the game.
The copy is different from reality, it is multidimensional.
It is possible to walk from one station to the next, which is another world, with many dangers and different species along the way. Despite this, the boy has no intention of working for the game. He has the memory of Wen Shi, and always feels that this "game tycoon" is always on the verge of bankruptcy.
"I see." The black cat curled its tail and thought about the possibility of Song Yan entering the virtual world.
From the perspective of the true spirit, the other party should hope that Song Yan's identity as a player can be continued, so that it will be easier for the true spirit to obtain more information about the real world through the incarnation.
Wen Shi could more or less feel that the true spirit had different feelings towards the world where his father had last lived.
As the black cat pondered, the boy finally couldn't stand it anymore: "Can you please stop sitting on my shoulders?"
This sitting posture made the black cat appear taller than the boy, and his disdainful eyes almost confirmed his identity as a slave owner.
With it around, young people always feel dominated.
The black cat jumped down.
As soon as he landed, Li Nan suddenly bent over and looked at him: "Where are your clothes?"
"..." Wen Shi didn't know whether to say that his thinking was the same as that of ordinary people or different. When other people saw him, including the little octopus, they would subconsciously ignore this problem.
“The game is intelligent.”
It can even create missiles out of nothing, let alone a few pieces of clothing.
"Oh." Li Nan just had this question, he didn't even ask where Song Yan had gone.
Everyone left through the back door. The old lady didn't like crowds, so they didn't go to the bench. Instead, they gathered at the iron gate. Occasionally, they could see dark shadows running in the hospital corridor in front of them.
After them, the shadow of Li Nan came out. What was incredible was that the other party appeared with Xiaohua.
Xiao Hua had half of her ear cut off, but she acted as if nothing had happened. She didn't even bother to bandage it and said with a grin, "My shadow is really rubbish, it's not even as cruel as me."
She had chosen the same mission as Yu Xingzhou. When Shadow Li Nan passed by, he witnessed the woman's murder with his own eyes. Now he looked at Yu Xingzhou with a strange look in his eyes. As a shadow, he couldn't understand why anyone would be willing to work with such a subordinate.
Yu Xingzhou was very calm and asked Xiaohua and Yingzi Linan why they were walking together.
Xiaohua's nails were stained red with blood. "When I killed Yingzi, he was there. He wanted to use the body to lure away the security guards on the first floor. The door was locked, so I had to squeeze down the elevator with him."
Lock the door
The black cat snorted twice in dissatisfaction. These night security guards not only waited for the opportunity to come to them, but also tried to catch the turtle in the jar.
Xiaohua wanted to study the mysterious black cat in detail, but she encountered a magic trick first.
The bones had shrunk for too long, and Wenshi stretched lazily after returning to normal. Xiaohua opened her red lips, and even as blood flowed from her ears, she clapped her hands and exclaimed, "Amazing."
She didn't know about Wenshi's mission upgrade, she just thought it was a benefit given by the game based on the original body transformation because the thief mission was successful.
On the bench, the old lady waved to Wen Shi, and Wen Shi walked over. Xiao Hua looked at his back and sighed, "The darling of the game."
Since learning that a group of monsters wanted to resurrect another person in Wen Shi, Yu Xingzhou felt that Ji Yuanzhi was not blind. He slightly corrected: "Pei Wenwei is a bit miserable."
"… "
Xiaohua blinked. Has the president's brain finally gone bad
She grinned happily and thought, is that bringing her fantasy closer
The old lady over there called Wen Shi over to get blood.
At first, Wen Shi rolled up his sleeves without knowing why, and the old lady pressed lightly with her fingertips, and there was a stabbing pain like a needle prick, and the drawn blood was sealed by the black air.
"You are..."
The old lady said: "My dear grandson, even if something happens to you, I still have a chance to summon your soul."
As he spoke, he gently stroked his finger and took a small bunch of hair from Wen Shi's head.
The old lady had this idea all because of Wen Shi’s previous discussion about life and death.
Wen Shi couldn't laugh anymore. Not to mention the old lady, Jian Qingrong and A Sang had both clearly expressed their desire to save his life through the virus.
The little octopus stared at the scene, wondering if he should also prepare early. Wen Shi almost got goose bumps when he was looked at. He handed the turtle man evolution liquid given by Song Yan to Big Eyes, trying to distract the other party's attention.
"You might as well study the secret of the turtle people's longevity."
The little octopus was much easier to fool than Jian Qingrong, so he accepted his suggestion.
Wen Shi suddenly remembered that another newcomer bug had not come out yet. After asking the little octopus to confirm that there was any remaining god-level evolutionary liquid, he sent a message, saying that the other party could come out directly if he couldn't find it.
"You can't protect them like you're protecting your cubs." The little octopus said earnestly, "We have basically cleared out all the danger sources on the negative second floor. Anyone with a little bit of brains can bring things out."
It also places emphasis on the word brain.
A person without brains is not worthy of standing next to Wen Shi.
The newcomer hasn’t replied yet. His insect body makes it difficult for him to do anything, including answering the phone.
"A little sleepy." Wen Shi put away his phone, his muscles aching all over.
The bear that Ji Yuanzhi gave him was quite practical. He adjusted his posture and took a nap leaning against the bear. At around five in the morning, the silence around him was broken, and a small noise came into his ears. Wen Shi opened his eyes a little and found several figures not far away. The newcomer worm twisted his body and walked towards this side. Before Wen Shi opened his mouth to ask questions, he showed the evolutionary fluid he had obtained.
Also as the incarnation of the true spirit, the newcomer worm was not pulled into the mirror space by the green man, but he did not see through the conspiracy of the suspension bridge and relied entirely on the advantages of a reptile to crawl forward.
After hearing this experience, Wen Shi felt that this was a person with high luck.
He stood up and took a quick look. The survival rate of players was generally higher. Shadows were evil, but in terms of scheming and exploitation of human nature, players were more ruthless. The most important point was that they knew how to cooperate better than the self-centered shadows.
The newcomer bug asked for advice: "Should we go out?"
The sun rises early in Sunset Town, and employees will soon come to work one after another. It is not a good idea to gather here.
Wen Shi looked at the time: "Wait another twenty minutes."
He was not waiting for the remaining tourists, but the tour guide. It was the tour guide's fault to abandon the tourists in the hospital.
Time passed by minute by minute, and not only him, but everyone was waiting and watching. The players and shadows maintained their usual level of mutual defense, fearing that they would encounter someone who wanted to counterattack at the last moment.
The outline of the moon in the night sky faded, and the morning star became brighter. Qian Lai also suddenly shouted, alerting everyone: "Guide!"
The lock on the gate disappeared, and the tour guide appeared from the main entrance. Just like when she came, she was waving a small flag in her hand.
All of them looked over with burning gazes. It was clearly the same face, but the tour guide at this moment no longer had the unfathomable depth that she had previously had in the core of the brain monster.
Among so many eyes, the tour guide first looked at Wen Shi, and when she found that he was still alive, her face turned visibly worse. She didn't know why, even though she had received the bribe and her previous bad feelings had faded a little, she felt angry now. As soon as she saw Wen Shi, she had the illusion that she was very unfortunate.
"Everyone line up, we're going to take the bus back."
Everyone ignored the indifference in her voice and looked for the bus.
Almost at the same time, a horn sounded outside.
The tour guide led the team out.
A player suddenly asked: "What about the people still inside?"
The tour guide was indifferent: "The shuttle bus has a fixed departure time. If you can't come out for personal reasons, you can only walk back or take a bus at your own expense."
Wen Shi walked at the end of the team and looked back before exiting the iron gate. The Sunset Red Plastic Surgery Hospital seemed to be a synonym for dirtiness and disorder, with mottled and peeling walls and a rotten smell everywhere. At one of the windows in the corridor on the fourth floor, a tall figure was standing there, with horns that were very eye-catching. Even the daylight that was about to rise could not penetrate the darkness.
Wen Shi's mood suddenly became heavy. A slender tentacle beside him drilled into his palm, and the little octopus grew bigger, leading him forward.
On the way back, the lights in the car were still not on.
Wen Shi seemed to have his eyes closed, but he was actually using the [Mailbox] function on the property panel to write a letter to the host.
I just finished a fantastic trip to visit another branch of Frank, and now I have a half-baked guess.
The monster imprisoned on the top floor of Frank is not without the energy to take care of the current situation in the hospital. They just seem to be unable to reach a consensus on some things.
If one day in the future you successfully reach the depths of Frank Hospital and encounter an invincible monster, you can try to praise the first dean over and over again, saying that you came here to admire his dean.
If you meet a soft-hearted monster, he might let you go.
Finally, I wish you good luck in your work.
Sincerely, Aaron.
After selecting the host as the recipient, Wen Shi sent the letter.
He looked out the window and thought of what the host had said about a true spirit among Dad's followers. He was afraid it was the one he had met before. The true spirit had clearly told him that someone was trying to revive Dad through him, and Dad seemed to have anticipated this situation and had left a will to prevent it.
This restraint seems to be useful at present. Although this true spirit whose origin is a mirror is trying every means to carry out the persecution, it has not restrained the Sheep Head Security Guard from letting the water go.
Otherwise, he would most likely die directly on the fourth floor.
"why me?"
Wen Shi frowned. Could it be that resurrection requires his parallel world self as a medium
The tip of the tentacle poked him. Wen Shi was sitting in a double seat, and the octopus was sitting next to him. It was a little bigger. He whispered, "If you are tired, you can rest on my head."
As he spoke, the big head moved a little towards him.
All the complicated feelings disappeared as Wen Shixu smiled and refused.
When the car was about to arrive at the inn, the tour guide walked to the front and said: "Our trip has ended. Tourists who want to stay for sightseeing can contact me to make up the difference..."
Having said that, she glanced at Wen Shi warily.
Wen Shi felt very wronged as he had been touched by the chains of the sheep-headed security guard. Currently, his survival time in the copy is no more than twenty hours.
After making sure that the disaster had no intention of staying, the tour guide continued, "The return train will leave on time at 10 o'clock. Please bring your ID cards with you."
Xiaohua on the opposite side asked Yu Xingzhou if he wanted to go back. According to the tour guide, this copy should still be explored.
Many players were also whispering to each other, thinking about the feasibility of staying.
Only tourists can take the bus. Before getting on the bus, the old lady handed the mirror to the little octopus. At this moment, a question mark slowly emerged in the mirror.
Wen Shi knew what he meant and shook his head: "Don't go."
Noticing that Qian Lai was also looking over here, he sighed, "Players who choose the thief mission are not eligible to participate."
According to the time when Little Octopus and his companions were wanted, by five or six o'clock this afternoon, the wanted order for the thieves would definitely spread to every corner of Sunset Town, and staying here would be like walking into a trap.
Qian Lai was also stunned after hearing this, probably because he didn't expect that there was a trap here.
The bus finally stopped at the entrance of the alley. A girl in a white dress stood in the shadows waiting. The first tour guide to get off the bus was startled.
"Are you sick?"
It was not yet completely light outside, and if you didn't know, you would think it was a ghost floating around.
The girl ignored her and ran straight towards the boy, looking him up and down.
Great! Still alive.
There is no need to use a ball of thread to lock the soul of a voodoo doll.
He could read too much from her eyes, and the boy understood a little bit of Wen Shi's helplessness. The two walked in front, and Wen Shi, who got off the car later, walked behind with the little octopus. The scene was weird and harmonious.
It was not long before ten o'clock, so Wen Shi took a quick shower after returning to the inn, checked his ID card, and gathered at the door of the inn in advance.
Aside from Shadow, Xiaohua was the only one who didn't come down. It seemed that she wanted to stay and continue exploring the dungeon.
Yu Xingzhou was touched by the chains of the underworld and chose to go back.
The inn was not far from the train station. The tour guide saved until the last minute and took the group there on foot. By then, the sun had risen and the entire Sunset Town had returned to its daily life.
The old lady was hiding in a secret corner nearby waiting for Wen Shi, but she didn't expect that the young man who went to the ticket office to buy a ticket would arrive first.
The money for the tickets was still provided by Wen Shi, and the other party gave all the remaining money to him and the girl.
The boy couldn't get on the K6666 train exclusively for players, so he went to find the turtle man for recommendation on a whim, and finally bought a ticket to Sangmen Temple.
The ticket he bought was in the opposite direction of K6666. Wen Shi happened to come over, took a look at the station name, raised his eyebrows and said, "Sangmen means disaster. Are you sure you want to go?"
The boy nodded.
Wen Shi did not try to persuade him any further, knowing that it was time for them to go their separate ways.
The few of them passed through the entrance in silence. During this time, the old lady got into Wen Shi's suitcase. The security check in Sunset Town was very lax, and they easily reached the platform.
Before getting on the train with his suitcase, Wen Shi looked at the opposite platform and saw that the boy had boarded the train first. He knocked out the elephant-eared ticket inspector so that the girl could get on the train.
Wen Shi: “…”
Compared to using a steel pipe to pierce the throat directly, this is already a very understanding of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness.
The tour guide did not come up with them, but waved a small flag habitually: "I wish you all a safe journey."
Before the train started, Wen Shi suddenly leaned towards the door.
Thinking that he had changed his mind and wanted to stay with the group, the tour guide immediately tried to push his head back in. Wen Shi spoke up in time: "Have you heard of the Mermaid Coast?"
The arm that was pushing him stiffened for a moment, and the tour guide looked a little serious: "Why are you asking this?"
Wen Shi smiled meaningfully: "Travel. If it's fun, I'll go and see it later."
This NPC is eager to commit suicide, so in order to attract him, he will reveal some information.
The tour guide smiled.
"It's fun." She stood with her back to the sun, staring at Wen Shi with her ant-like eyes. "But I'll give you a piece of advice. Don't get close to the Mermaid King. You'll become unfortunate."
The old green train whistled before departure, the train door closed automatically, and Wen Shi returned to his seat. The little octopus was using a mirror to catch the melon seed shells and using his flexible tentacles to peel the seeds for Wen Shi.
"… "
He was touched, but he said he wouldn't peel it next time.
In the suitcase, the old lady stretched out her thin arm. Wen Shi subconsciously reached out his hand. The moment their skin touched, he heard a prompt sound—
"Congratulations on activating your companion skill - Great Sealing Technique."
"This skill is a limited skill and can only be used once in a single instance. In this state, you can seal your own living aura for one minute."
The name of this skill sounds inexplicably funny.
Wen Shi further checked the attribute panel. A skill that lasted no more than a minute required 800 points each time it was used. He did not complain about the high fees charged by the black-hearted game. If he was chased by a monster, this skill could save his life if used well.
"Thank you, grandma." He thanked her sincerely.
The old lady held her face in her hands in the suitcase. Her dear grandson was indeed the most sensible and lovely one in the world.
Wen Shi was still waiting for the next game prompt sound.
The train left Sunset Town, and the warning tone finally sounded for the second time:
"Congratulations to the player for completing the only copy of "Sunset Red Travel Group"."
"The copy settlement will be carried out soon."
Wen Shi swallowed his saliva. Ji Yuanzhi said that the solitary copy could settle 20,000 to 30,000 points. He hoped that the game would not deduct points in this regard. In order to cram for the exam, he devoutly said a lot of compliments to the game in his heart.
"You have completed the second main mission, and you have been rewarded with a total of 25,000 points."
"Also, the host has read your letter. To thank you for your thoughtful reminder, he has consigned an item from overseas. Would you like to spend 20 points to receive it?"
The shipping fee has gone up.
Wen Shi smiled wryly and said, "Yes."
There is one more item in the backpack.
[Pen: A disposable prop. The first pen used by the host when he switched to being a reporter. When you write a manuscript with it, the public's trust in the content of the manuscript will automatically increase by 50%.]
"… "
Isn’t this just a powerful tool for spreading rumors
The host is a bit biased as a reporter.
Wen Shi and Yu Xingzhou exchanged their findings and discovered that players who chose the Shadow Hunting mission received an extra 2,000 points. The game had a special setting for light and shadow, and tasks centered around this detail generally scored higher.
Wen Shi accepted this matter calmly. He had actually had similar speculations long before choosing the mission.
The train entered a mountain tunnel and everything around it darkened.
Players can feel that they will be teleported directly out in the tunnel.
Because he and the old lady could meet at afternoon tea in the future, Wen Shi did not say goodbye. As soon as he turned his head, the little octopus reluctantly hugged him. A moment before the light completely dimmed, a glimmer of light flashed on the dusty mirror surface and disappeared with Wen Shi.
This means they went somewhere.
"!"
The pupils of the big eyes trembled.
Why can a broken mirror follow Wen Shi, but it can't
I'm afraid I'm just a fake incarnation of the true spirit!
When Big Eyes was questioning the world, all the passengers in this carriage of the train disappeared, and Wen Shi's eyes were filled with darkness. He was already familiar with this experience, and he calmly waited for the transmission to be completed.
virtual reality.
The square was packed with people.
Yu Xingzhou and Li Nan went into the dungeon together, and someone even set up a gambling game for this purpose, betting on who could come back alive. Every day, people would come and stare at the player numbers on the giant screen.
This spectacular scene was even more exaggerated than the first time Wen Shi released the copy. He felt like a monkey trapped in a cage in a zoo, and he wanted to stretch out his hand to ask these people for the admission fee.
Fortunately, players around the "tourist attraction" like the boss only dared to watch from a distance, and no one was willing to risk their lives to get close. Wen Shi followed and found a relatively wide road to leave. Song Yan didn't know what was going on. Originally, everything would return to normal after returning to the dungeon, but he was still a mirror. It seemed that he would have to spend three full days.
Song Yan is essentially a living being and there is no way to put him in a backpack. Wen Shi deliberately walked in the middle of the team. He took off his coat to cover the mirror in his hand so that everything would not be particularly conspicuous.
The new worm had already shed its insect body and was very overwhelmed when it suddenly saw such a grand scene.
"Is there anything I should pay attention to here?" the newcomer asked cautiously.
Wen Shi: "Let's go back to the hotel first."
Yu Xingzhou was very generous and directly let the newlyweds stay temporarily in the hotel owned by Erjie.
After leaving everyone's gaze and entering the hotel, Wen Shi felt much more relaxed. Yu Xingzhou had to go back to the guild and did not come to the hotel with him.
Wen Shi was waiting for the elevator with the newcomer when the receptionist suddenly came over and said, "The vice president has said before that you'd better take time to meet him after you get out."
Wen Shi nodded: "Okay." He pointed at the newcomer next to him: "This..."
The receptionist said with a stern look: "Don't worry, we will arrange it."
While the newcomer kept thanking him, Wen Shi walked aside and contacted Ji Yuanzhi using the communicator.
The call was answered quickly: "I happen to have time now, just wait for me at the hotel."
There was no one in the lounge area, so Wen Shi didn't go back to his room, but walked over and sat down.
Half an hour later, when he was about to doze off while waiting on the sofa, Ji Yuanzhi finally showed up. He was still wearing the glasses, and his relatively ordinary face seemed to be mixed with a kind of magic.
"How are you getting along with the president?" Ji Yuanzhi skipped the basic greetings and went straight to the point.
Wen Shi knew that he would not ask this question for no reason, so he nodded: "It's okay."
Ji Yuanzhi sat down next to Wen Shi, resting his wrist on the armrest of the sofa: "The president has a special medium that can pull people into the dungeon." He paused and lowered his voice, "If you want revenge, you'd better talk to the president as soon as possible."
Wen Shi's heart moved, and he frowned and turned his head: "Is there any movement from Pei Hongxin?"
"He has been keeping a low profile in recent years," Ji Yuanzhi reminded. "I received a tip that Pei Hongxin and his wife might move overseas."
Pei Hongxin has been in the business world for many years and seems to have decided to retire.
"They will hold a cocktail party in a couple of days. There will be many celebrities who have just returned from abroad. Pei Hongxin probably wants to use this opportunity to expand his network and prepare for some future foreign investments."
"He's afraid." Wen Shi's eyes darkened when he heard that. He knew very well that a cautious person like him would be more worried about his past being exposed the higher he stood in a high position.
Ji Yuanzhi glanced at Wen Shi and said nothing.
The insurance money was secondary. The fire did help Pei Hongxin and his wife win great social sympathy. Debt collectors and wage collectors were reluctant to surround them. Pei Hongxin's wife even burned herself on purpose. At that time, many people raised money for them.
Wen Shi was silent for a moment, then asked, "Can you help me get an invitation?"
Ji Yuanzhi was startled and exchanged glances with him: "You want to..."
Wen Shi nodded. In the past, he was always worried about alerting the enemy before he was fully grown. Now that he was sure that there was a way to pull the other party into the game, it would not be alerting the enemy, but making the target a frightened bird.
"Tell me," Wen Shi's brows relaxed and he suddenly smiled, "What would happen if I went to this cocktail party and stood in front of them openly?"
