“How is it possible… how could this happen!?”
Fu Huanyu couldn’t believe his eyes. His brain stopped working the moment he saw the cards and he fell into an embarrassing mental block.
But no matter how hard he stared at the cards, the symbols on the cards couldn’t change out of thin air.
The prop. He hurriedly looked at his pocket. There must be something wrong with the prop!
Fu Huanyu had forgotten that he was not alone here. His mind was in a mess and he even forgot to keep his special prop hidden. In front of Jian Xie and Cheng Li, he took out a small and exquisite dice from the inner pocket of his suit jacket.
It could be seen that the dice which were supposed to have six sides with different numbers, had now all turned into a conspicuous 1.
The prop was activated!
Under his shocked and horrified gaze, Jian Xie looked at the dice in the opponent’s hand and unexpectedly smiled slowly.
Even Cheng Li, who had a relatively friendly relationship with him, only saw him with an expressionless face most of the time. This was the first time he showed such obvious emotion.
This was a teenager with a weak sense of emotions. He wondered if it was because he saw his parents die in front of him…
Just today, Cheng Li secretly investigated Jian Xie’s personal background.
This was a necessary procedure for recruiting new employees, and its purpose was to refer safe employees to the Supernatural Management Bureau.
After all, the Supernatural Management Bureau was a completely covert organization, and it has to deal with monsters that may have extremely intelligent and terrifying powers, so it could never be too cautious.
All materials of the recommended person need to be signed and reviewed by the recommender in person. If any errors occur, the recommender would be the first to be dealt with and punished.
And Cheng Li was the person who recommended Jian Xie.
Cheng Li’s Adam’s apple rolled. The files he got from the police station and medical staff emerged in his mind.
Jian Xie had once narrated in first person everything that happened before the ambulance arrived on the night of his parents’ car accident. That car accident was definitely not as simple as ordinary people thought it was.
Now recalling the details in the recordings, Cheng Li couldn’t help but feel a chill on his back. He didn’t know how Jian Xie could lie on the hospital bed and narrate the events without any expression or twists and turns. That was obviously not a normal child.
If what he did in the car accident would attract the attention of terrifying and indescribable things, Cheng Li would not be surprised at all.
……
Really interesting.
Jian Xie thought, who would’ve thought?
Perhaps at that time, when he was hunting that Special A-level monster with It, his five senses that suddenly became excited revealed everything.
It turned out that the reason he lost his spirits and interest in everything that happened in life was not because he lacked emotions, but because those trivial things could not bring him any stimulation at all.
He was an invisible animal that required enough novelty and curiosity to stimulate his senses.
Jian Xie’s smile disappeared, as if it was just a flash in the pan. It was so fast that it seemed like an illusion.
He reached out his hand and took the cards that Fu Huanyu had placed on the table one by one, flipping through them one by one, like a slow torture. “5 is less than 6, J is less than Q, 10 is less than J… Your luck doesn’t look good.”
Fu Huanyu’s mind was in a mess, like a stiff and rusty gear that couldn’t turn normally.
Every card happened to be larger than his. He was so lucky. Could it be that the teenager in front of him was not affected by the B-level prop…?
You know, when it comes to a bug-level item like the conceptual “luck”, even an A-level investigator may not be able to resist its evil nature.
——What was more, it didn’t actually make Fu Huanyu lucky, but made others unfortunate!
There was a sentence clearly written on the prop: [A person’s luck is set off by the misfortune around him.]
Jian Xie shouldn’t be that lucky!
This made the current situation even more confusing.
Unless—
Thinking of the only possibility, Fu Huanyu suddenly looked at Jian Xie.
His eyes widened in disbelief, staring at the motionless person in front of him as if he had seen a ghost.
Looking back now, the other party was definitely taunting him deliberately.
From beginning to end, he didn’t seem surprised at all by the cards he drew, not even Fu Huanyu’s own cards.
With such a skillful shuffling technique, Jian Xie must know how to remember the cards. After Fu Huanyu drew his cards first, he deliberately drew cards that were larger than his.
But the basis of everything was that Jian Xie has the ability to break the prop, otherwise no matter how powerful he was, he couldn’t do it so deliberately.
In other words, his level was definitely higher than A!
And Cheng Li obviously thought of the same answer as him. The expression on his face was between shock and relief, and for a moment his face was also very interesting.
There were only three known Special A-level people, which were much rarer than giant pandas.
As for S-level…?
Never heard of it.
So what was Jian Xie’s level…
“You, what did you do to my prop?!” However, the possibility was too outrageous. Fu Huanyu subconsciously leaned towards another possibility. He looked at Cheng Li fiercely, “You must have given him some props! This is not fair! “
Jian Xie ignored him. “You lose.”
Fu Huanyu immediately stood up, his suit wrinkled from being pulled, veins popping out on his forehead, and his originally delicate features becoming extremely hideous. “Impossible, I’ve never seen it fail before—”
Absolutely not!
He couldn’t accept it, absolutely couldn’t accept it…
No one ever cared about how much suffering he had endured at the hands of this prop through his previous companion!
Fu Huanyu’s eyes became extremely fierce, as if he had lost his humanity. It seemed that in the next moment, he was going to severely injure the high school student who dared to say that he lost. Almost immediately, the atmosphere in the air became tense.
Cheng Li lifted up his suit jacket and instantly placed his right hand on his waist.
He looked warily at this colleague who was suddenly in a state of mental breakdown, and at the same time stretched out a hand to protect Jian Xie.
“I said,” Jian Xie’s voice turned cold, and he sat there without moving, seemingly not feeling the danger, “you lose.”
Fu Huanyu looked at the dice in his hand in a trance.
……..
His vision was trembling, and the six dots with the number 1 on each side seemed to blur into six scarlet bleeding eyes.They blinked at him with a squish squish. The dice in his hand gradually became soft, like a child’s skin.
It would be best if we kill ourselves right here, the dice tempted using the pistol at the man’s waist.
Aren’t they lucky? But once someone messes with another person’s life, they will never be lucky again for the rest of their life.
Using one life to ruin two people’s lives at once, what a good deal!
Suicide……?
His vision began to blur, and all the noisy sounds disappeared…
His body turned heavy…
From the others’ perspective, Fu Huanyu’s expression changed very quickly, from hideous, sad to fearful, while cold sweat completely soaked his trembling body.
“This is bad!”
Suddenly, Cheng Li, who was sitting opposite Jian Xie, called out anxiously. He noticed something was wrong with Fu Huanyu. “His thinking has been affected. A C-level investigator who has been using a B-level prop for a long time, even if it was of conceptual nature, he will still be taken advantage of and transformed into a monster—”
If possible, Cheng Li didn’t want to kill another investigator, but if it was too late…
Before he could finish speaking, a scream of pain was heard in the air and a puff of black smoke suddenly emerged from between Fu Huanyu’s fingers.
It turned out that the dice he was holding suddenly shattered.
[You,] It’s voice came beside Jian Xie’s ear. It wasn’t known how long It had been watching. It tutted It’s tongue in dissatisfaction at the dice that turned into ashes in seconds, [don’t interrupt.]
The illusion was shattered in an instant. Fu Huanyu was like a drowning man floating to the water surface. He pinched his neck in pain and knelt down beside Jian Xie’s shoes, bursting into a violent coughing fit.
He couldn’t believe it… this person whom he was hostile to before actually…
Jian Xie saved him.
Fu Huanyu’s expression became extremely complicated. He raised his head and stared at the other person with mixed feelings in his heart.
Cheng Li was stunned again. After a few seconds, he slowly blinked his eyes.
In fact, Jian Xie, who witnessed everything, also had complicated feelings.
Because it was obvious that It did not take action out of kindness or to save this human, but purely because It interrupted Jian Xie’s words before they were spoken, which made It unhappy.
[Good.] It said, as if to cheer him up. It curled It’s lips and said lazily, [Continue.]
Jian Xie: “…It’s my turn to state my request.”
Hearing this, Fu Huanyu’s body stiffened. He couldn’t imagine how excessive the other party’s demands would be. If he was asked to die at this moment, he probably wouldn’t be able to resist.
But then, he heard Jian Xie ponder for a moment, and then say in a thoughtful voice, “Give me 100 million first.”
