Chapter 116
After Jing Shuo left, Wen Yan remembered that he had not told him the room number. So he raised his hand, clicked a few times on his watch, and sent him a message.
Zhang Cishun's eyes were on the cage.
The man who was Jing Shuo's opponent before stood among them, but the fat man who invited him to fight had no intention of accepting it. Even if the people around him made waves of boos, he had no intention of leaving.
"He won't go up." Wen Yan said.
"After all, his size shows that he is not good at these things. He is better at talking, and some political skills that are not brilliant."
Zhang Cishun withdrew his gaze.
But immediately after, Wen Yan said again:
"Okay, I know what you want to say now. Do you know if I know Jing Shuo is here? If you know, why don't you stop him." Wen Yan whispered, his voice only It spread within earshot of the two of them.
"...So how are you going to answer?"
"Yeah. I have to make it up properly." Wen Yan smiled, then pondered for a moment and then said, "This is his choice, isn't it." "You have to allow him
. He has his own ideas." She said: "And I don't think there is anything worth stopping. At least judging from the current results, Jing Shuo has excellently completed the task we assigned him, and used force to raise a black flag. It's a deterrent, isn't it?"
Zhang Cishun raised his eyes and scanned all the people around him, and all kinds of living beings were reflected in his eyes.
"..."
Wen Yan remained silent, looking away from Zhang Cishun, and then sighed softly.
"Well, it's true that I didn't think well in this aspect. But within the rules, Jing Shuo has done a very good job." "You
mean in the cage?" Zhang Cishun said: " There are two worlds inside and outside the cage. You should never expect that what a person shows inside will affect the outside world. No one will be afraid because the beast in the cage goes crazy, they will only treat it as a plaything, and then in the future When I suddenly remembered it one day, it became a joke with others at the wine table."
"...Relax, buddy." Wen Yan raised his hand and gently patted Zhang Cishun on the shoulder. Because of the height difference between the two, This physical interaction between the two seemed a bit joyful.
"When you speak with this expression, it will make people feel that you are angry. But you are not actually angry now, and you have no intention of pretending to be angry. You are conveying a wrong emotional message to the outside world." Wen Yan said: "This is actually...not good. At least for teammates."
Wen Yan's sudden change of topic made Zhang Cishun stunned for a moment. He subconsciously touched his face.
"Yes?"
Wen Yan nodded seriously.
"But only when the topic involves Jing Shuo, I can occasionally see this expression on your face. I call it...stinky face." When the word "stinky face" was mentioned, Wen Yan couldn't stop the corners of his mouth. He raised his head, and his eyes turned into crescent moons with smiles, as if he had remembered something interesting.
"I'm talking...seriously." Zhang Cishun was quite helpless.
Only then did Wen Yan look serious and said, "Me too."
"Listen to me, stinky-faced man. Now you, me, Jing Shuo, and Jing Yan are in the same team again. It's like..." Wen Yan raised his hand One of your hands is like a fist: "Fingers clenched into a fist. Maybe because of your experience with Jing Shuo in City No. 88, you will subconsciously put him closer in the hierarchy of your relationship." , but this is actually not good for Jing Shuo."
"Fingers also have a closeness and distance. And what exactly are you going to say?"
Wen Yan thought for a while and seemed to find that the next words were difficult to describe in words, so he thought about it for a while. After a while, he stretched out his two fingers.
"You can think of these two fingers as Jing Shuo. The one on the left is him who was with you in the lower city, or even earlier, before you picked him up. The one on the right is him now." Wen Yan used his fingers to make a scissor-like motion while speaking.
"Tell me, what's the difference between these two fingers?"
Wen Yan asked.
But although she was asking about the fingers, she was actually talking about the two Jingshuo that these two fingers referred to. One is Jing Shuo in the past, and the other is Jing Shuo now.
Zhang Cishun pondered.
At this moment, two people appeared out of nowhere. As they gradually approached, Wen Yan gave them a cold look, and the coldness in his eyebrows almost solidified.
In an instant, the two of them seemed to be trapped in the cold winter, and their whole bodies froze in place under Wen Yan's gaze.
"Mature? Grow up?..."
Zhang Cishun seemed to be vaguely aware of what Wen Yan wanted to say in his mind, but it always felt like there was a layer of fog and he couldn't see clearly.
"Yes, he has matured and grown. He is more mature than when he was in Xiacheng District. But this is not actually the most critical point. The most critical point is that he is not confident anymore." Confidence
?
When these two words came out of Wen Yan's mouth, Zhang Cishun felt as if someone had dispelled the fog.
"Do you still remember how Jing Shuo lived in Xiacheng District? At that time, he was decisive and courageous in doing things. Even if he wanted to kill someone, he would choose the simplest and easiest way. He was cold and cruel. That's why he was in the huge Xiacheng District. Survive as a young man."
"But now he..." Wen Yan thought for a while, abandoned the most intuitive evaluation, and used other ways to make metaphors: "Xiacheng District is Jing Shuo's comfort zone, leaving there , and even left City No. 88 directly, making him cautious. Maybe he didn't realize this himself. Even you didn't realize it, but it doesn't matter, now I realize it." "Yes, you think so
. Yes, when Jing Shuo was dragged into that cage, I was 'watching' the whole process, and not once was he missed. But I feel that instead of pointing out the mistake from the beginning and telling him that he shouldn't do this, It's better to let him experience it himself a few times. People always grow through setbacks, not to mention, this is not a setback." "
Break the comfort zone?" Zhang Cishun said.
Wen Yan smiled slightly and hummed in her throat, but soon the smile on her face froze.
"...You think I did something wrong, but I don't think I did anything wrong. At least we can undo our mistakes now."
Zhang Cishun suddenly had a strange feeling.
He turned his head, and his strange eyes fell on Wen Yan. Although he had no words, silence at this moment was worth a thousand words.
Wen Yan's face turned slightly red for a moment, but soon returned to his original appearance.
"Okay, yes, I'm just raising a child, so what? I not only want to raise Jingshuo, I also want to raise Youyou, Jingyan!" "..." In silence, Zhang Cishun reached out and touched the child
. Wen Yan's forehead: "You're not sick either, so why are you talking nonsense? Besides, there are only five people in our team. If you have such leisure, I won't mind raising one more." "Have you forgotten
? One thing. You! Are older than me!"
"Age is not a problem." Zhang Cishun joked.
Wen Yan sneered: "You and I are basically the same kind of people now, but I'm soberer than you and figured out what I wanted to do earlier.
I spent the first half of my life following my sister's footsteps. Now there is no guidance from her, and I have been confused for a while. I chose to go out with you and see the outside world. Although I still haven’t found the goal direction of my future life again, I don’t mind looking at a People with dreams practice their dreams.
But what about you?
You are not awake and you don’t know what you want to do. From the beginning to the end, you are pushed along. After you listened to Jing Shuo’s dream, Then I came up with the idea of helping him. But once you put aside the part of Jing Shuo, what do you have left?
You are confused, and so am I.
We are both confused.
But you and I are both lucky, At least Jing Shuo is here. His presence will prevent us from being so idle. Otherwise..." When Wen Yan said this, he paused for a moment before continuing: "This city No. 114 has never been so idle. From a certain perspective, it is really a very good place. It gives all escapees a haven, a false world, and pure happiness. Without
Jing Shuo, there would be no such ridiculous dream of his If so, I will probably choose to anchor here forever."
Zhang Cishun had to admit that Wen Yan was right. Maybe I didn't realize it, or maybe I did but never dared to look at him. But no matter which one it is, it is a manifestation of escape.
Wen Yan peeled off his calmness and bloodied it, and put the problem in front of him, forcing him to face it.
But...
he still couldn't give an answer.
This is not something that can be figured out overnight.
But fortunately, this issue is not urgent for him now.
"Here comes someone."
Wen Yan quietly kicked Zhang Cishun with his toe and reminded him.
Zhang Cishun then turned his eyes and looked at the two people who were walking towards them again. The steps were stiff and a little awe-inspiring.
"You two are Black Flag people, we are from Fengqi Motorsport." When they came closer, the other party said: "Can you please move, there are many people here, and our captain has prepared meals for you. . There are some things I want to discuss with you two."
Feng Qi...
Zhang Cishun didn't know where the other party came from, but at least he was not a pure-color flag person. So judging from the black flag status they have raised now, It's higher than them. And if we put aside the status of flags and colors to talk about other things, Zhang Cishun has no need to be afraid.
"Let's go."
He quickly sorted out his feelings about talking to Wen Yan, and uttered two words as a response to the two of them.
"Please come this way."
The two of them showed great respect.
When Zhang Cishun and Wen Yan followed them away, many people in the venue had secret conversations. Obviously, Feng Qi was not the only one paying attention to the two of them, but it was obvious that Feng Qi was faster.
"It seems easy to get in touch with them, but it's a pity that Feng Qi's people got there first." "It's okay, just let
them make contact first, and we can just keep an eye on them. By the way, we can also let Feng Qi's people test them to the end. Is it true?"
"That's the truth."
"By the way, have you contacted Wang Gong of Yunqi?" "
I contacted several familiar people to act as intermediaries to ask him out, but they were all rejected. However, the intermediary revealed that Wang Gong has been in the oasis during this period."
"Tsk...this attitude doesn't feel right." "
Let's wait and see, it's going to last this winter anyway." "
..."
— —Zhang
Cishun Wen Yan followed the two of them into the elevator, and was finally sent to the twenty-first floor safely.
Private residence.
During the ride in the elevator, the two people leading the way did not say a word to them, but they always maintained that kind of respect. Zhang Cishun noticed that from time to time, fear flashed in their eyes when they looked at Wen Yan. color.
As the closed door opened after the elevator stopped, what came into view was the uniform green and blue flags along the entire corridor. These flags were placed above the door, replacing the original sign on the door.
In addition to the cyan color on the flag, if you look carefully, you can also see some patterns representing 'wind' outlined in darker cyan. But probably these flags are all weathered veterans, so even if they are cleaned very clean, you can still see the traces left by the time spent wandering in the wilderness.
"This whole floor is booked?" Zhang Cishun clicked his tongue. A room costs 300,000 oasis coins per week. This whole floor... "I don't know if there are any discounts. But in terms of financial resources, Feng
Qi It's probably much better than Yunqi."
"You can't look at it that way." Wen Yan said: "The advantage of Fengqi over Yunqi is the number of people, which means they can have more people put into the oasis to grab oasis coins. You You can think of them as... a studio that only opens in winter."
"Can a normal person earn three hundred thousand in seven days?"
"Of course not, their boss sold a lot of information. The most valuable one... is about a Field information. Coordinates, field rules that have been summarized. How much do you think this information was sold for?" "
Ten million?"
"It almost adds up." Wen Yan said.
"Add it up? You mean they sell more than one product?"
"Of course. This is normal behavior. But if the buyer has capital, he can spend enough money to buy out the news." "
So. ...How many have they sold?" Zhang Cishun was still quite curious about this.
"Three families. And they were sold to three families at the same time. After each of the three families bought the information, the joint venture pooled a sum of money to buy out the information." Wen Yan said: "Hey, you said that if I secretly sold this information at this time, Let it go, will this wind flag..."
As she spoke, she made a wiping motion in front of her neck with her fingers.
"...I don't seem to have messed with you. If you want to blackmail me, I don't think it's necessary." "
You're overthinking it. I just want to have fun all of a sudden."
Zhang Cishun glanced at her and said. :
"Don't you feel it? Your temper seems to be getting worse and worse."
Wen Yan replied unceremoniously: "No, a researcher like me is probably not a good person from beginning to end. He will die in my hands. There are not even ten thousand but nearly a thousand experimental subjects in it. The impression you have most about me is just the impression I had when I was controlled by the stamp of thought, but you should understand that that is not the real me. At least not completely true
. Me."
"Then you mean that you are the real you now?"
"I don't know, because... I have no way to be sure."
