…Who’s luckier?
Hearing what was said, the young man who was in a state of bewilderment and uncertainty when unconsciously shocked by Jian Xie’s disgusting aura instantly relaxed his muscles. The expression on his face unconsciously became a little contemptuous, with the corners of his mouth raised in an almost ridiculing arc.
“Didn’t you mention that you’re ‘lucky’?” Jian Xie said calmly, “Then, let’s make a bet.”
Hearing this, he quickly turned back a few steps and looked down at this student who, in his opinion, was ignorant of the immensity of the world.
The distance between the two of them was suddenly shortened, causing the young man to clearly see Jian Xie’s exceptionally outstanding face. He was subconsciously surprised before coming back to his senses.
Hehe, the face is nice, but the brain is a bit not so good.
Whenever he was in a bad mood, he liked to take a mission and see those investigators who dared not speak out. He originally felt a little regretful that he didn’t manage to make Cheng Li get angry to the point of taking action again today, but he didn’t expect that before leaving, the boy following him would build a ladder for him.
“It’s not impossible. But what are we betting on?” He raised his eyebrows and pretended to be reserved.
He pulled out the deck of playing cards from his briefcase and shook the box in front of Jian Xie, as if trying to provoke him.
“Fuck, Fu Huanyu, are you still human?”
Cheng Li laughed in anger, pushed his chair away, rose, and stood in front of Jian Xie. “If you want to pick a fight, come at me. Is it fun bullying newcomers? “
The two men stood against each other, making the atmosphere become tense for a while. Meanwhile, Jian Xie’s sight was suddenly blocked by the other party’s figure.
Although it was an extremely protective posture, the people present could still detect one thing from his behavior—
Cheng Li didn’t think Jian Xie could defeat him.
As the person involved, Fu Huanyu was of course very clear about this, so instead of being angered by Cheng Li’s actions, he felt even more proud.
“What you said is quite funny. Why would it not be fun?” He pushed Cheng Li away and said to Jian Xie with a hint of contempt, “You’re not going to regret this, are you?”
Fu Huanyu was very sure that people like this who were still studying were most likely to be dominated by impulse and mindlessness.
But to his great surprise, the teenager, who he thought would be easily carried away, just raised his head and glanced at him lightly.
It was just a glance, but a terrifying pressure descended instantly, as if some huge monster half opened its eyes in the void and looked at him. All of a sudden, Fu Huanyu felt as if he was falling into ice. Goosebumps crawled up his arms, and his hand holding the cards involuntarily froze in place.
What……
He froze for a moment, unable to move.
His five senses seemed blocked.
The soles of his shoes became sticky and slippery, as if he was stepping on thick blood plasma. The world was spinning and his head was buzzing.
The three of them were just in an idle KFC, but why did he have the illusion that he was in hell the next moment…
It was impossible to break free!
Jian Xie could clearly feel that as he raised his eyes, the temperature in the KFC dropped by several points in an instant, and the light above their heads also flickered with a “click click”.
As if just to make people nervous, the light in the entire building only flickered for less than half a second before suddenly going out the next moment.
Although the sudden blindness dimmed his vision for a moment, Jian Xie could still keenly capture the dark scarlet color flashing in the darkness.
There was no need to think too much, it must be because a certain moody and unpredictable evil god was on the verge of getting angry.
Is it because… this person just spoke to me in a teasing tone?
Although this causal relationship did appear true, Jian Xie wasn’t so narcissistic as to make himself the center of everything.
Perhaps it was because It was in his body at the moment and was observing everything in the outside world through his eyes, so It felt offended by this guy’s ostentatious behavior.
It’s attitude always seemed to be one of contempt, never placing others on an equal footing.
Of course, Jian Xie couldn’t imagine that It would give any special treatment to any monster or human being. It looked like the type of person who was lazy, surly, and acted based on his own likes and dislikes.
“……”
It seemed that no one expected that the KFC would suddenly have a power outage. The atmosphere fell into dead silence in an instant.
In the darkness, the breathing sounds of several people were particularly clear.
Especially the guy named Fu Huanyu, his breathing became increasingly intense, as if he was frightened by something.
If they could see in the dark, they would be surprised to find that his pupils were dilating violently and his vital signs were rapidly declining due to the rapid confusion in his mind.
……
“You can’t kill humans indiscriminately,” Jian Xie frowned and said in a low voice, “I will get into trouble.”
The air was silent.
“And you’re getting in my way.” He added in a breathy voice, “It’ll be hard for me to do this later.”
Jian Xie didn’t notice the intimacy that was unconsciously revealed in his tone.
He didn’t notice that he was like standing on the edge of a cliff, blaming a willful and ferocious beast for its willfulness.
【…Tsk.】
A sneer came beside Jian Xie’s ear, which seemed to show dissatisfaction with his words, seemingly very self-willed.
However, the next second, the lights inside the KFC that had been extinguished suddenly came back on accompanied by the “bzzt” sound of electricity, illuminating the two adult men opposite Jian Xie who had obviously suffered mental shock and looked muddleheaded. Similarly, they also saw Jian Xie’s expressionless face.
Compared to these two people, he seemed like a regular employee.
Cheng Li was secretly shocked by Jian Xie’s rationality.
At the same time, the horrifying scene that was extremely shocking but was just a lazy glance of the other party looking down finally disappeared from Fu Huanyu’s mind, making him take several deep breaths like a drowning man.
An illusion? But he couldn’t think about it carefully.
Or rather, he couldn’t recall it at all, as if he was restricted…
“It’s just a power outage.” Jian Xie said, his tone revealing the same contempt as Fu Huanyu just now. “You’re not going to regret this, are you?”
He repeated exactly what he had just said, word for word.
Fu Huanyu suddenly came back to his senses and realized something——
Jian Xie looked down on him.
Since Cheng Li paid so much attention to this student, he must be at least a B-level investigator. Of course, he’d think that he was very great, just like those self-important guys.
Thinking of this, Fu Huanyu’s face became gloomy, and he sneeringly said. “I’ve already given you a chance.”
“Let’s have it this way. If I win, you can’t join the Bureau.”
【See, I gave him a chance.】 It lazily whispered in Jian Xie’s ear after hearing what was said.
It was unknown if It was showing off or taking credit.
Hearing the bet, Jian Xie smiled. “I can accept that.”
“Then if you win…” Fu Huanyu dragged out his voice.
“Let me think about what I want you to do.” Jian Xie pondered, as if he would really win the bet with him. “We’ll talk about it when the time comes.”
Hearing this, Fu Huanyu burst into laughter and thought the person in front of him was really ridiculous.
Cheng Li got a little anxious when he heard this, “Jian Xie, his prop is luck——”
“Hehe, since you’re overestimating yourself, let’s have the simplest competition.” He interrupted Cheng Li, speaking in a deliberately slow voice with a smile that was not a smile on his face. “Why don’t we shuffle the cards and see who draws the biggest random card? Three draws.”
“I won’t bully you. As long as you have a better hand than me just once, I’ll let you win. How about that?”
Although he made it sound like he was giving in because of his age, it sounded more like insulting than just a normal humiliation.
Once again, Jian Xie’s voice sounded quite calm.
“The prop you stole from your partner can change luck value, right? That’s why you are so confident. The reason why Cheng Li and his investigators cannot come into conflict with you is because they’re worried that they might die due to bad luck during the mission, right?”
With just a preliminary exploration of the other world, Jian Xie could discover that the investigators’ daily missions were extremely dangerous. Even the slightest accident could result in the loss of lives, so it was impossible for them not to care about the effects of the props.
Even the fact that the Investigation department didn’t fire him was probably because of the word “luck”.
No wonder he has always been so arrogant. From this aspect alone, the prop was indeed pretty good.
“So what?” Hearing this, Fu Huanyu smiled pityingly. “Do you have any?”
