Chapter 226: Moss, Protect, Go with the Flow

Xiaochi Chi, when he turned over and sat up, had put away all his sudden emotions.

Right now, his time is precious and he has no margin to spend on himself.

By definition, the "catfish" is dead.

The only thing that concerns Xiaochi Chi is the number of "catfish" in the team.

Three, which is a reasonable number for his speculation.

The three people who died in various places last night for no apparent reason, also confirmed his suspicions.

But why do the four "catfish" appear in Anyi Bai's memory?

With this in mind, he got up and tiptoed out of the tent.

The order of the night duty last night was Ying Lou - Rou Zhao - Wei XVI - Shan Shuang, so I guess what happened last night has been passed down by Rou Zhao on drums The order was Ying Lou -- Rou Zhao -- Wei XVI -- Shan Shuang.

This is a good order.

Rou Zhao Zhao has suffered a big loss, than the other people are a lot more cautious, to Wei XVI she also can not be trusted, should only try to objectively to Wei XVI statement of what has happened.

As for Wei XVI, since being saved by Ying Lou and having seen Ying Lou's skills, he admired Ying Lou so much that he must have thought that the "hallucinogenic" ability belonged to Ying Lou.

This in effect reinforces the perception that Ying Lou is a multi-powered person.

Rou Zhao got up early, nodding nervously and curtly to Xiaochi Chi as he emerged from the tent.

Compared with Rou Zhao, who was overly nervous, Wei XVI was heartless, sleeping soundly in his sleeping bag with his tent open.

The fire will be exhausted, Shan Shuang bored fiddling with the remaining embers, see Xiaochi Chi out, looking behind him, his demeanor also has a few more careful reverence: "Mr. Chi still not awake?"

Xiaochi Chi said, "Don't bother him. He was too tired yesterday."

Shan Shuang held back, still could not hold back the overwhelming hope: "Mr. Chi ...... really have the ability to save us out?"

This is probably the boast Wei XVI made when he blew water with him.

Xiaochi Chi nodded his head and glanced at the unseen, countless gazes that followed them in the void: "All the psychics, none of them will be left behind."

The time is still early, but the pop-up area has squatted no less than a hundred people.

They argued all night about whose "hallucinogenic" powers belonged to, and even set up a private chat channel for this purpose, analyzing and discussing the recorded live video frame by frame, while the discussion in the comments section seemed sparse.

"What the hell are they talking about?"

"It's not very clear to hear."

"Don't struggle, experienced people tell you, it is true that you can't hear unless you speak with a voice of 60 decibels or more."

"What a garbage radio system."

"Only three years online well. Besides, which escape kill, not less forced to do directly, where someone like them so much talk?"

Xiaochi Chi rolls up his sleeves as he walks to a small pool of water and prepares to wash up.

"You're really bold." While shining a shadow on the water, " Anyi Bai" in the water quickly filled in the full picture of last night's events, "You're playing with your life."

Xiaochi Chi with his hands on the shore: "How?"

"Haven't you ever thought about what to do if they take Jiangyu Chi out in order to save one more shifter, one way or the other, and inject all the other shifter with poison - drugs, abort the gambling? You dare to gamble your life like that?"

"It's not a matter of whether I dare or not." Xiaochi Chi gargled, tilted his head again, and spat the water on the shore, "It's whether they dare or not."

The " Anyi Bai" in the water tilted her head slightly, expressing her doubts.

But this change, in the eyes of outsiders, seems to be nothing more than a normal water wave floating.

"I've seen Anyi Bai's memories, and I've also seen the reactions of other psychics when they were told to participate in the Great Escape." Xiaochi Chi waved the water droplets off his hands, "A killing game, a playful gamble, collective participation, and profit from it, in a normal world, either one of these would set off an uproar. But apparently, before entering the game, there was no relevant social news out; after entering the game, those aliens also do not look like they have heard the legend and come prepared. ...... Therefore, I guess that this kind of hidden underground trading will only exist in the unknown dark net."

" Anyi Bai" said, "Just because it's not known, it's better to deal with it, isn't it?"

"No." Xiaochi Chi says, "It's the fact that it's not known that makes it even worse to deal with."

With that, Xiaochi Chi looked up and said to himself, "Wow, textbook no-propositions. I'm so good."

" Anyi Bai ": "......"

After the narcissism, Xiaochi Chi leans over, holding water to wash his face: "The reason they have to hide their heads and tails is that they themselves know that this disgusting fun is not to be revealed to the world. And the reason the game continues from one session to the next is that the gamblers have the same tacit understanding: the game is only playable if they keep it a secret."

Saying that, he asked " Anyi Bai": "What gamblers are thinking, do you know."

"They can admit that they have a black face, they can admit that they have no luck in gambling, they can admit that something unlucky around them has affected their luck, but they cannot admit that they have invested their capital, poured their emotions, spent their time, and finally lost because the casino temporarily closed and threw them all out."

"It would be hard to control what kind of things a gambler would do when he goes crazy. You should be able to imagine what kind of sensation this kind of game will cause once it is exposed and revealed to the world."

" Anyi Bai" said, "And have you ever thought, what if the casino returned the entire principal and explained the reason for suspending the game in private? Will they still choose to expose and revolt - by then."

"That's true. But it's not that 'time' yet."

Xiaochi Chi said with certainty: "People in the institution are not completely sure if my brother is a multi-powered person. After all, there are still single alters like Wei XVI who appear to be multi-alters. For this 'possibility' alone, they don't have to risk suspending the game and causing public outrage."

"So you can be sure that they will wipe out the 'catfish' on the team for this uncertain 'possibility'?"

Xiaochi Chi didn't hesitate: "I can."

"They obliterated the most aggressive 'catfish' precisely for the most basic safety reasons."

"By definition, the 'catfish' was originally a carrot and a pit, and knew a lot of information that ordinary participants did not know, taking advantage of the timing, location and people. My brother's appearance was a surprise to the 'catfish'. If only one of them was a little bit smarter, they would realize that for the institution, my brother's presence was a big threat to their life safety."

"A better possibility would be to squeeze out a survival slot that they should have had; a worse possibility would be to sacrifice the entire game to save only my brother."

"So, my brother's existence is completely contrary to their interests. They only have two choices, either they can do everything they can to cling to my brother's thighs and be the one-third survivor, or they can do everything they can to kill him."

"And from the perspective of the 'catfish', Jiangyu Chi already had Anyi Bai around him, and Wei XVI, three people who didn't seem to have a bad relationship, and later, the team absorbed Rou Zhao and Shan Shuang. So, for the 'catfish', the best time to hold on to their legs had been missed, so they were left with the latter option."

"The latter option, in turn, is completely contrary to the institution's quest."

"So, whether or not the other shifter has murderous intentions towards my brother, 'Catfish' has to die."

During the whole process, Xiaochi Chi repeatedly stirred the water with his hand, his expression was light and his voice was extremely low, as if he was whispering, even with the huskiness of his first awakening.

The confused voice and the sober logic intertwine with each other, and the murderous intent inside the words and the calmness on the surface merge with each other, which even caused "Anyi Bai" to have the illusion of numbness at the back of his spine.

He created all kinds of hints and released numerous signals to show the importance of Jiangyu Chi step by step, adding more and more weight, and finally killing the "catfish" by the hand of the institution.

" Anyi Bai" is the first time that I have developed a few genuine appreciation for someone other than Anyi Bai.

He asked, "You're studying psychology?"

Xiaochi Chi raised an eyebrow: "Me? I'm not a major in anything. Didn't go to college, flunked out of high school."

" Anyi Bai" choked in a rare moment: "...... ha?"

Xiaochi Chi : "Do I look like I'm studying well?"

" Anyi Bai" is now really curious: "Why don't you read it?"

Xiaochi Chi said in general terms, "I don't have time."

" Anyi Bai" could see that Xiaochi Chi didn't want to talk, so he simply stopped asking questions and brought the topic back on track: "It's true that the agency can't determine whether Jiangyu Chi is a multi-powered alien yet. But they will definitely try to find a way to determine it."

Xiaochi Chi lazily responded, "Yeah."

"When they are sure, they will definitely refund the gamblers' principal, shut down the entire game, and dispose of all the alters who participated in this game. After all, as the world's first case of a multiple shifter, the agency will pay any price to protect him." " Anyi Bai" said, "I remind you not to have unnecessary expectations or hope that they will look at ' Anyi Bai is Jiangyu Chi's cousin' and not kill Anyi Bai."

This is what "Anyi Bai" is really worried about.

One could even say that at this point, he is to blame for Xiaochi Chi.

--Why not let Anyi Bai take on the role of "multi-power" when there is a good plan in place?

This way, even if all the other psychics are dead, at least Anyi Bai will still be alive.

Xiaochi Chi could also hear his tone of voice was not good.

He said, "I have my reasons for doing this."

" Anyi Bai" washed his ears.

Xiaochi Chi said, "I can't stand the thought of my brother dying in front of me again. So, I have to keep him safe."

" Anyi Bai" looked a little harder: "Just like that? Then what is Little Bai Zi? A prop to prove that your love is stronger than gold?"

Xiaochi Chi didn't mind his acerbity: "That's just the first reason."

"The second reason, no matter what happens, my brother will definitely protect me. Whether I am Xiaochi Chi , or Anyi Bai , or whatever."

These two specious reasons are still not convincing to " Anyi Bai ".

I can't be comfortable with that," he said. Unless you have a better plan to protect Anyi Bai's physical safety."

"Since you put it that way ......" Xiaochi Chi stood up and patted the dirt off his knees, "let's make a bet."

"What's the bet?"

Xiaochi Chi said, "The agency will not kill anyone even if they determine that my brother is a multi-shifter, and will not only keep the whole game running, but will keep as many shifter as possible and tell them to concentrate on my brother alive."

" Anyi Bai": "...... Is this possible?"

Xiaochi Chi smiled, "Yes, there is."

......

While Xiaochi Chi was washing her face by the pool, Ying Lou also woke up from inside the tent.

Seeing that her side was empty, Ying Lou sat up and tried to test the warmth of the bedding.

It's still hot, and it looks like it's only just woken up.

He connected to Xiaochi Chi's consciousness again and found that he was talking to " Anyi Bai ", and did not make any disturbance, and got up silently.

There is fresh horse mackerel in the warehouse, top quality, after being crispy fried in oil and seasoned with just a little salt, it is a fresh and refreshing dish to eat with some congee ......

He was formulating his breakfast menu when he abruptly heard a female voice ringing in his own head.

"Hey, hey, Mr. Jiangyu Chi, can you hear me, can you hear me."

"This is the Alter Ego Level Assessment Center speaking to you. We have turned on the backup sensors in your collar to conduct sound directly into your ears. This conversation, therefore, is completely confidential. Please do not make any movements, make any sounds. We would like to ask you some questions, and they are all very simple, only requiring you to nod and shake your head in response ...... Please can you accept them?"

Ying Lou stared and thought for a moment before voluntarily lying back in his sleeping bag and nodding to the air.

After receiving an affirmative answer, the female voice gave the first question straightforwardly: "Excuse me, Mr. Jiangyu Chi, are you a psychic with multiple psychic abilities?"

Ying Lou lowered his eyes, thought for a moment, and nodded his head.

Such a quick admission made the various members of the emergency handling department, including the minister, who were closely watching his movements off screen, shake their fists.

The minister impatiently pulled over the conversationalist and said, "Ask him again how many kinds of psychic powers he has."

The minister reminded him, "He could only nod and shake his head."

The minister calmed down, thought for a moment, and rejoined, "Ask him if he has more than five kinds of psychic abilities."

After the female voice relayed the minister's original question, everyone saw that Ying Lou nodded down.

Even the female voice was so surprised that it changed its tone and trembled: "Excuse me, Mr. Jiangyu Chi, do you ...... have more than ten kinds of psychic abilities?"

Ying Lou nodded again.

There was a slight commotion among the ministry members.

"Cheating, right?"

"That is, double psychic ability is already exaggerated, more than ten kinds of psychic ability, unless it is a monster ......"

"Quiet!"

After a chortle from the minister, his hand perspiring from the grip of his conversationalist: "Ask him if we can get him to end the game immediately, and does he agree?"

The ministers stirred up again.

Is this what ...... is saying about shedding other gamers?

To be honest, the minister, who has bet his entire fortune on Jiangyu Chi, is the last person to want the game to end so hastily.

But several orders came from above, repeatedly emphasizing the need to protect Jiangyu Chi's safety, and he had no choice but to watch the hard-won opportunity to make a fortune slip from his grasp.

He was already restless, and when he heard the noise around him, he was so distracted that he quickly ran out of patience and bellowed, "Shut up!

Once the surroundings were quiet, a strange tapping sound became clearer and clearer.

The minister was now really annoyed: "Damn it, who's banging on the table? Stop it!"

But all the ministry members were staring at the screen, full of astonishment.

A member of the ministry pointed to the screen, "...... is not us. Minister, it's Jiangyu Chi who is knocking."

The picture shows Jiangyu Chi lying back down in his sleeping bag, the zipper of which obscures the movement of his hands, so it is impossible to tell what he is doing from the outside.

In fact, he was tapping his collar one at a time.

Soon, one of the ministry members exclaimed, "Morse code! He's using Morse code ...... He has something to say to us!"

This department member only had a half-understanding of Morse code usage. Luckily, there was an avid Morse code enthusiast in the technical department next door who was immediately brought in to perform the deciphering.

He listened sideways for a short, long tapping sound, and after taking a quick note on a white sheet of paper, he picked it up and read, "He said he had been waiting for us for a long time, just waiting for us to contact him, because he happened to have some requests for us as well."

The minister made a swallowing motion before he felt a dry, stinging throat.

The decipherer picked up a new sheet of white paper and read, "He said he had a total of three requests. The Morse code represented by each request would be typed twice, and we were asked to listen carefully."

For some reason, the minister got goose bumps.

This is clearly a one-sided questioning by the human side to take the lead, not only by this person easily take away the lead, but also let him reverse the guest to take the initiative.

...... This is a really bad feeling.

He scratched the chicken skin on his arm nervously and looked at the youth on the screen with his eyes closed, tapping out an irregular rhythm of lengths on his collar with his index finger, looking uncertain.

In no time, the decipherer had successfully translated his first request: "First, I have to guarantee the absolute safety of my cousin Anyi Bai, both inside and outside the game."

The minister said sharply, "That's no problem, what about the second one."

Another long burst of typing and deciphering.

It took three minutes before the decipherer looked up from between the white pages.

His expression looked a little subtle.

"...... Secondly, the game cannot end early, not only can you not kill any more Alters, but you have to find a way to get them to gather around me."

Everyone in the room was silent, and the same question came to mind in unison.

...... What does he want?

All eyes were on the decipherer, waiting for him to give Jiangyu Chi's third request.

Under this pressure, beads of sweat began to break out on the decipherer's head, and the dots and lines he drew inevitably looked messy.

When he put the pen down, he was unsteady and it rolled straight down to the bottom of the table.

The snap of a strange sound, as if knocked on top of everyone's nerves, called all the eyebrows can not help but follow a jump.

The decipherer rustled up the white paper.

The third sentence is a little shorter than the second, but the amount of information it contains is simply gut-wrenching.

He said arduously, "...... Thirdly, I will kill all the supernaturals except Anyi Bai to strengthen my own ability, please cooperate."

The sound of inhaling rose and fell in the room.

Jiangyu Chi actually knows that killing a psychic can strengthen his own psychic ability?

However, in this way, this explains a lot of things.

Why does he have such a strong strength but refuses to show it to people instead of entering the crisis-ridden virtual game; why does he go around recruiting teammates, why does he generously take out so many supplies to treat his teammates; why does he refuse to end the game ......

So, he was raising pigs.

Coming back from the shock, the minister was ecstatic: "Quickly, quickly, call up the report and submit his request! Until it's approved, I'll make the call and let the game continue without moving any more aliens."

"Contact the Public Relations Department and have them send the ten or so trumpets we've raised onto the live stream to generate public opinion and drive emotions in the pop-up section, saying ...... just say that this group of alters, led by Jiangyu Chi, wants to take all Alter Ego's to escape from the game, and that the abilities he possesses are tricky and the officials probably can't do anything with him ...... just spread similar remarks."

"After laying the groundwork for about half an hour, contact the action team and send the 'catfish' squad to Area B3 to round up and kill them, put on a show with Jiangyu Chi, then pretend to be defeated and flee. Basically, all the viewers are watching every move in Area B3, our siege will be seen by them, and without us saying much, they will think that the officials are really anxious, and then they will further decide that Jiangyu Chi and the others might really have the possibility to escape. Such a statement, as long as those alien people see, they will naturally lean towards Jiangyu Chi and seek refuge ......"

"Escape, escape ......" the minister mused, "Right, we can also take the opportunity to develop a new gambling model! Just bet if they can all escape! ...... Quick, quick, quick, all move, move, we have something to work on!"

The hustle and bustle of the present world does not reach Ying Lou's ears.

After the communication hung up, he froze in his sleeping bag for another moment before he couldn't help but let out a low laugh.

...... Xiaochi Chi really has all the bureaus lined up properly, with all the frames and details.

Their current crisis is twofold.

For one thing, the agency's emphasis on the first case of multiple alters has the potential to invite death for other alters.

Secondly, the other psychics already know that Jiangyu Chi is a very powerful person, but they are stumbling, intentionally wait and see, the more time delayed, the more unfavorable for them.

Xiaochi Chi knew long ago that the agency would surely come to confirm whether " Jiangyu Chi" was really a multi-powered person.

The most effective way to confirm this is to ask " Jiangyu Chi" directly in person.

The only thing you need to do is to take advantage of the importance they attach to the so-called "multi-powered" and use their hands to effortlessly concentrate the scattered psionics around them.

As long as this can be achieved, I'm sure Xiaochi Chi has a way to get everyone out of here safely.

Ying Lou puts her hand on her forehead and closes her eyes.

...... really, so smart that you want to kiss him.
