After the demonstration, Xiaochi Chi ignored the crazy pop-up area and looked at the time: "Brother, it's very late, come in and sleep."

Ying Lou : "We have an appointment to change shifts in two hours, it is not yet time to change shifts ......"

Xiaochi Chi : "Who's next on night duty?"

Ying Lou looked at Rou Zhao who was still in a daze.

Xiaochi Chi, holding the tent stand with one hand, said to Rou Zhao, "Your vigil is half an hour early, is that okay?"

The words sounded like a discussion, but there was no half-meaning of discussion in the tone.

He did not care what Rou Zhao's answer was, a pair of sleepy peach blossom eyes looked at Ying Lou , and glanced at the tent behind him: "Brother, come in."

Ying Lou was swept by his eyes, heart thumped, breathing stopped for a moment.

When the air flowed again, the surrounding scenery did not change, only he himself knew that he had a little more light between his heart.

He responded, "Hmm."

Once inside the tent, Ying Lou closed the tent curtain.

Noticing Rou Zhao outside, Ying Lou opened the internal communication channel with Xiaochi Chi and said, "Isn't it not good to order her around like this? You lead the team, it's best to be lenient and strict. If you are too strict with her, she may become rebellious."

Xiaochi Chi laid out Ying Lou's sleeping bag and laid it out for herself.

"There are people who don't submit to control, and with such people, you have to be lenient and strict." Xiaochi Chi said, "But some people, they need to be controlled in order to feel at ease."

Ying Lou smiled, lifted the tent just closed a slit and looked out.

Sure enough, Rou Zhao sat down by the fire with a much more relaxed look than he had earlier.

She peeked into Xiaochi Chi's tent and gradually believed that with this man, she might be able to survive and even have a chance to see the light of day again.

Meanwhile, Xiaochi Chi inside the tent lowered his eyes and said, "Such people do not have too strong opinions, and in extreme circumstances, being ordered around by an absolutely strong person, not only will they not resent it, but they will rely on and trust him tenfold and a hundredfold."

Xiaochi Chi took out the matching pillow from the sleeping bag and patted it until it was fluffy, her long eyelashes casting a pleasing light under the steamlight: "This is all I can give her for peace of mind."

Ying Lou's heart was softened by Xiaochi Chi's words. She rubbed his hair and went to his sleeping bag, rearranging his still-warm bedding.

Two people squatting back to back, shadows blending together, harmonious to the extreme.

"One more question?"

"Ask away."

"Why do you want to provoke those watchers." Ying Lou said, "The card's effect lasts for eight more hours ......"

Xiaochi Chi said faintly, "Abnormal abilities can only be concealed from the human eye, not from machines."

With just this mention, Ying Lou was enlightened: "...... understand. Our collars are able to locate us, and the staff of those agencies have known that we have left the A8 area for a long time. But why didn't they say anything?"

Xiaochi Chi let out a disdainful snort.

Ying Lou's mind turned rapidly and he also laughed after him: "Yes. They have inside information, they should have also bought bets on us long ago. ...... In this way, even if there is an inside situation, they will not reveal the situation to other players."

"But when the fire started, the situation was very different." Xiaochi Chi said. Xiaochi Chi said, "Just now, all the other players probably thought they were winning and bought into the bets of those two in bulk, and probably lost a lot of money."

Ying Lou nodded: "Their reaction to this anomaly must have been unusually violent. The agency's staff cannot help but deal with this agitation and will soon expose our coordinates through the positioning on the collar."

Once their coordinates are revealed, these gamblers who have lost a lot of money will surely raise the stakes at any cost and send out "bounty orders" to gather the psychics to kill them.

In case there are really individuals who are not afraid of death to run to the B3 area, it will be too much trouble.

So not only did Xiaochi Chi take the initiative to release the illusion card, but he also made a blatant taunt, almost as if to say, "I'm right here in B3, come on any of you who have the guts.

Two people who didn't know any better had already been caught in the illusion and burned to death on the spot, so that anyone would wonder if Xiaochi Chi's move to the B3 camp was another false decoy.

Even if the staff with inside information then broke the news, saying that they are indeed in the B3 area, not bait, gamblers do not dare to bet indiscriminately, but can only watch them sleep peacefully, and then put themselves alive to death.

Xiaochi Chi hid her mouth and gave a rather showy yawn.

He said, "True is true, false is true. I want them to know full well that I am using an empty city, but they can only stare and dare not come over."

With that, he got under Ying Lou's laid out comforter and said, "...... And, tomorrow morning, we'll get up early and get ready to pick up our clients."

Ying Lou : "...... eh?" What kind of clients are you taking?

"Thank them for spreading the word, I guess." Xiaochi Chi closed his eyes, "By now probably all of the Exalted know that we are in District B3, and we have shown goodwill to those who defect in good faith, as well as ample supplies to offer. So, guess how many people will come to join us tomorrow?"

Ying Lou reminded him, "There may be 'catfish' mixed in with the people who come to us."

Xiaochi Chi said, "I know."

Ying Lou said, "There were four 'catfish' in all, and it was a real headache."

Xiaochi Chi said, "No need for a headache."

Ying Lou recalled Xiaochi Chi's earlier question about the number of "catfish": "Do you think there are three 'catfish' mixed in with the alters, instead of four? "

Xiaochi Chi said, "Ah, that was just a question I had for myself. It's not important."

Ying Lou : "Doesn't it matter?"

Xiaochi Chi : "Whether he has three or four, in the end, they all have to die."

Ying Lou : "But it's really hard to do if they mix in."

Xiaochi Chi, however, said, "It won't blend in. They'll all die, and besides, we won't even have to do it ourselves."

Now, Ying Lou really didn't understand: "What?"

Xiaochi Chi only returned an inaudible laugh, "Ha."

Ying Lou asks, "Is this your plan again?"

Xiaochi Chi still doesn't answer positively: "When you make a plan, of course, you want to make it all sides and make the most out of it, don't you?"

Ying Lou lost his smile: "Go ahead, what else is there that you know that I don't know."

"...... two women." Xiaochi Chi said.

"Hmm?"

Xiaochi Chi coughed a little uncomfortably, "I just got into Anyi Bai's ...... one, the submerged 'one'. Underwater, I could determine by the sound that the ...... ones pushing Anyi Bai underwater were two women."

Ying Lou saw him stammering and knew that he was vain about what he had just done.

...... knows it's good to be afraid.

Ying Lou, who had risen halfway out of his sleeping bag, did the same trick again and put his hand to his forehead, making a move to flick it.

Xiaochi Chi busy holding his breath, closed his eyes and frowned, waiting for the pain to come.

The pain took a long time to arrive, but a strange feeling came over the body.

Ying Lou incorporates a card into Xiaochi Chi's body, and after a flash of light, he leans down and gently holds Xiaochi Chi's spirit body away from Anyi Bai's body.

Ying Lou cupped his face and placed his index finger on the small mole at the end of his eyebrow, stroking it lovingly twice before dropping a feather-like kiss on the spot where he had just been flicked.

The lips of the person who was full of strategic plans just now moved, the redness started from the cheeks and extended all the way to the neck, ears, and looked like a person.

Ying Lou gently touched his forehead to his, and said warmly, "Good night."

......

The two slept peacefully, while the institution outside was lit up with lights for the mess they had made.

In the Emergency Response Department, all department members are gathered in the conference room.

The minister stood at the forefront, using the touch screen pen to write down a keyword on the light screen, "With our current intelligence, we can tell that in this five-man squad, the seven psychic abilities of foreseeing the future, disarming weapons, random dice, distorting things, instantaneous movement, hallucination, and otherworldly space storage have clearly appeared. The top has noticed the problem, emphasizing the serious nature of the problem, and wants us to meet immediately to discuss it."

Someone commented, "Doesn't that Wei XVI have a dice that can randomize powers, 'hallucinogenic' might be a power he arranged."

"Not very likely." The minister frowned deeply, "Wei XVI has done tests, his random powers lasted for a very short time, usually no more than five minutes. The hallucinogenic spell just now lasted for at least several hours. In addition, the special collar is able to record the number of Class A globulin growth in the body when the psychic ability is used ......"

He pointed to Wei XVI's name on the screen, "According to the data, he showed no signs of a surge in Class A globulin during this time, which means he didn't use his psychic powers at all."

The ministry members at the bottom looked at each other, but no one dared to believe the answer that popped up in everyone's mind at the same time.

The minister continued, "...... you do not guess. The rest of you, the amount of globulin in your body, are also normal."

One ministry member was surprised, "How is this possible? The data provided by the collar has always been more than accurate."

The minister said, "So there are two possibilities at this point-"

"First, the data recovered by our collar is wrong. The one who mobilized the supernatural power is indeed Wei XVI is correct."

Speaking of this, the minister paused briefly and couldn't hide the excitement in his voice: "...... Second, we discovered the world's first multi-alien."

Even though they had already guessed, when they heard this guess from the minister's mouth, the ministry members still couldn't help but feel a tingle down their spine: "...... So ...... which one of them is it?"

The minister drew a circle on each of the names " Anyi Bai" and " Jiangyu Chi".

"The former possesses the supernormal ability of instantaneous movement, but previously, his supernormal ability has been in the 'undecided' state for a long time, which is indeed suspicious, and, just now, he also took the initiative to provoke us, as if he was clearly informing us that he is the one with multiple supernormal abilities. "

"But the more deliberately he behaves like this, the more I suspect that the multi-powered person is, in fact, the latter, Jiangyu Chi ." The minister spoke eloquently, "...... When he was held in the institution for 're-education', he did have a record of successfully distorting items; and the things in the other dimension were all taken by Jiangyu Chi's hands. Therefore, I reasonably suspect that hallucination is one of Jiangyu Chi's abilities. But in front of the audience, he only showed the ability to 'take things from other dimensions' explicitly. Therefore, I would venture to guess that Jiangyu Chi did not want to reveal too much of his strength in front of the audience, so he asked Anyi Bai to come forward and deliberately provoke the audience instead, misleading them into thinking that 'Illusion' was the ability possessed by Anyi Bai, while 'Teleportation ' is Wei XVI's random dice ability. --The audience is very misleading, and there is always a limit to what they can see."

As he spoke, the minister raised his fingertips and rubbed them repeatedly over the name " Jiangyu Chi" a few times, his eyes suppressing more than a little greed, as if he was looking at a fortune tree.

He really has a good eye, and from the moment Jiangyu Chi appeared, he knew this man was no ordinary product.

It was not in vain that he bet his entire fortune on this man.

With the matter clear, the ministry member continued, "What are we going to do about it?"

The minister took it for granted: "Of course we want Jiangyu Chi to live. Only if he comes out alive can we study him and call him to our use."

"That's right ......" another ministry member mused, "What about the need for us to end the game immediately and bring him out?"

"No way." The minister flatly refused, "It's in the middle of a game, and a lot of players have placed a lot of bets on him. If he disappears or the game is suspended, how much commotion and trouble will be caused, do you know?"

"So let him continue the game? In case he dies ...... I mean, after all, it's not like there hasn't been a cold snap before ......"

"Of course we have to do our best to protect his life!" The minister said, "Only living aliens are worthy of study."

"So, what about the 'catfish' that was planted - in? The other psychics may not be as aggressive, but the 'catfish' are different. There are only three places to live, and they will definitely try to kill Jiangyu Chi. The 'catfish', will become a threat to Jiangyu Chi."

The minister dropped his stylus on the conference table, "How many 'catfish' are there this time?"

The ministers replied, "Same as before, all three."

"Let me ask you, are ten or twenty 'catfish' with single psychic powers worth one Jiangyu Chi with multiple psychic powers?"

After the rhetorical question, the minister waved his hand, "My opinion is to report the situation and have it ordered from above to order the activation of contingency plan number two to get rid of all three of those 'catfish'."

The ministry member was surprised: "Minister?"

"For now, we have to eliminate all the dangerous factors that can threaten Jiangyu Chi." The minister said righteously, "...... is going to do everything possible to preserve Jiangyu Chi."

"Put together a report on what we found and what we think about how to handle it and send it to the top. Let the top make the decision."

There was so much going on this day that the report was just handed in and feedback was quickly received.

The approval is only two words.

"Agree".

The minister smiled with relief when he saw the result.

A member of the ministry asked again, "What about the alliance that Jiangyu Chi and the others entered into?"

The minister didn't even look up: "Haven't you ever seen all kinds of alliances made by psychics before? Which time did not end up killing each other? No one has ever been able to confront us until the end, forcing us to end the game by injecting poison."

He said, "People are so cheap that they can never learn to trust each other."

Within ten minutes, the approved document was delivered to the head of another "catfish" institution.

"...... killed them all?"

The secretary who read the order was horrified: "Boss, just kill them when you say so, why? These 'catfish' are very good seeds-"

"No reason was given, only that it was a first class secret and the reason could not be disclosed." The head said with a hard look on his face, "Who knows what the headquarters side is for."

They are here, the "game center", all the participants of the game of the alien will be inhaled numb - intoxicant, and then sent to here.

This place is far away from the headquarters authorities, and is only responsible for the care of the psychics and the "catfish" sent from the various branch agencies, and does not know much about what is happening in the game.

The secretary said carefully, "But ...... you bet a lot of money on that 'catfish' ......"

The person in charge pursed up his lips and showed a hint of resignation: "Yeah, 'that guy' is clearly the most promising to win."

Secretary because of inside information, the "catfish" is also optimistic, for him enough to bet half of the body.

How can he let go of it if he is now asked to drown?

The matter is urgent, the secretary's mind is not slow to turn, not much time, before his eyes is a fierce light: "Boss, the top let us use the second emergency plan, right?"

He pulled out a document and spread it out sharply on the head's desk.

"Boss, we have signed a contract with each of the three 'catfish', right?"

"Their collar construction looks exactly the same as other aliens, even if you take the most sophisticated instrument scanning can not see the abnormal, but there is a little different ......"

The secretary drew a striking circle on the cross-sectional construction diagram of the collars marked on the document, "In their collars, what is stored is not poison - poison, but glucose. This is the contract we have with them to ensure that they will not be harmed by external forces during the game."

"Let's take an analogy. If a group of gamers form an alliance and refuse to follow the rules of the game, once they are judged by the headquarters as 'passive resistance', they will be collectively injected with poison - drugs from the collar, leaving only three people 'randomly'. These three people, are our 'catfish'."

"But on the back of their wristwatch, another concealed retractable needle-head with - poison was hidden. This is contingency plan number two that we secretly prepared in case they reveal the secret of 'catfish' to others or to deal with other unexpected situations. It is this plan that headquarters wants us to activate. But as you know, the ability of that 'catfish' ......"

The person in charge understood, walked to a huge floor-to-ceiling window, raised his hand to hold the window, and said to himself, "It's ...... that 'catfish' that's not afraid of poison."

However, he was still a bit indecisive about this proposal to muddy the waters: "But headquarters requires that all 'catfish' must die. If one doesn't die-"

"Aiya, boss!" The secretary was afraid that he would backtrack and actively persuaded, "'Catfish' is not dead, it's his own ability, it's none of our business. We just need to submit the report of 'injection - successful', you are considered to have completed the task. As for the 'confidential', who knows if it's important."

The person in charge gazed into the window and nodded down slightly after a long time.

"Good." He said, "Just do it."

Inside the window, there lay 101 aliens who were in the game of

They lie inside coffin-like transparent capsules, bathed in pale blue light, helmets on their heads, breathing quietly, like dead people immersed in formalin.

Some capsules have dimmed to a tiny dead star.

Some are still glittering, not knowing when they will collapse into dust.

The person in charge picked up a joypad and pressed it with a blank face.

Three capsules, in unison, went dark.

But within a few moments, one of them is eerily bright again, the light is bright and uncertain, like a giant one-eye that keeps blinking in the dark.

......

Six hours later.

Xiaochi Chi wakes up from his sleeping bag after a good night's sleep.

The first thing he did was check the survivalist numbers on his watch.

Last night, after he slept, a total of five people died.

A man and a woman two alien in the M1 area armed fight, a dead and seriously injured, seriously injured woman struggled alone for half the night, or did not survive.

In addition, two women died in D9 and Q10, respectively, and a man died in E6, both for unknown reasons, and thus were found to have dashed their hopes and chosen to commit suicide.

In one night, three suicides in one breath, the number itself is not quite normal.

However, there are few people who are desperate to commit suicide during the game, and the stakes on these people are not much, not to mention that the suicide happened in the middle of the night, the number of people still watching the live broadcast is very small, and no one even noticed when they died.

Xiaochi Chi rested his hand on his forehead and was silent.

For Xiaochi Chi, plans are subject to change as circumstances change.

At first, he planned to let the catfish come to them.

It was only when dealing with Rou Zhao that Xiaochi Chi began to feel bad.

To subdue a little girl, he has needed to spend a lot of thought, if the "catfish" mixed in the people who came to join, it will take energy, fear is a bucket, it is difficult to count, in case of a careless error in judgment, it is very likely to ruin the whole situation.

Not to mention his own mission can not be completed, Anyi Bai easy to find a life, will also be played away.

As a result, he made adjustments to his plan.

He flaunts his powers in a high profile manner, he provokes, he pushes Ying Lou to the front of the curtain and induces everyone to believe that Ying Lou is a multi-powered person.

He wants Ying Lou to become the new "catfish" that the agency will carefully protect.

Developments, institutional decisions, the death of the "catfish" ......

Everything was moving steadily on the track he had envisioned.

After he showed multiple psychic abilities for Ying Lou with great fanfare, those people really decided that his Lou was a unique multi-powered person.

According to the rules, only three people can survive, so the first advantage of the "catfish" will never be willing to be cannon fodder, will try to get rid of Lou.

But this brings their intentions into conflict with the needs of the institution.

For the agency, what is killing a few "catfish" to protect this multi-powered man and keep him alive?

In this way, at least for now, Lou is currently the safest in the entire game.

Xiaochi Chi has kidnapped the whole organization with his interests, making the whole organization stand behind Ying Lou and become his invisible umbrella.

With this in mind, Xiaochi Chi turned his face to Ying Lou, who was still sleeping peacefully.

He wore that mask, creating horrific scars, trying desperately to look fierce.

However, his sleeping expression was so peaceful that Xiaochi Chi could not help but smile, and he could not help but think what a nice person Ying Lou was.

And what kind of a person is he, Xiaochi Chi?

It's a ...... monster who knows that someone will die because of his plan, and still managed to fall asleep because of Ying Lou's kiss.
