"I can understand your surprise, but if you are willing to give me a little more time, I can explain." Bruno then looked at the knife on his throat.
"If you want to explain … why don't you start with the crash?" Zhang Heng said calmly, not putting away the knife in his hand.
This time, it was Bruno's turn to be surprised. "When did you find out?"
"This has been bothering me for a long time. From what happened after that, it seems that everyone is suspicious. However, no one else's motives make sense. There are only three people in this quest. Even if someone secretly joined forces, they shouldn't have targeted me so quickly … You are the only one who benefited from my death. But the LSD story is a good one. Not only did it explain why you left the space center in the middle of the night, but it also helped you get away from the center of the storm." "It's my fault.
Nancy warned me that you might be the most difficult person to deal with, but because of your existence, I was in a very dangerous situation. If I killed you, I would be able to ensure my own safety. Such a temptation was very tempting to me, not to mention that Anthony had just died not long ago. At that time, you wouldn't have thought that you would be the next target. But I didn't expect that you would still be able to escape from that situation. At the same time, it put me in a very passive position. So I had to make up the LSD story in the shortest time possible. "
"That bottle of drug is fake?"
"No, the drug is real. I can't take the risk. What if one of you really knows about this stuff? Besides, it's hard to fake the state after taking it. You're right about this. I am indeed a drug addict. Just two hours ago, I took another LSD pill, and now I feel great."
"Before I participated in this great game, I couldn't imagine how I would live in this boring world without these things. In the sixties and seventies of the last century, LSD was wildly popular in the United States. Queen, the Beatles, and the Rolling Stones all used LSD. Since I'm already here, there's no reason for me not to give it a try. So, the real question is, how am I going to pass the blood and urine tests?"
"Game item?"
"I would have forgotten if you didn't mention it. You guys took away two of my game items. This is a common misconception among most players. You guys think that only game items have supernatural powers, don't you?" Bruno said with a meaningful smile on his face.
"What do you mean?" Zhang Heng's heart skipped a beat. Speaking of non-game items, he happened to have one, the extra 24 hours a day. This ability was given to him by the old man in the Tang suit. It didn't rely on any game item to exist, and the activation and termination conditions were fixed.
As the game progressed, Zhang Heng became more and more curious about the identity of the old man in the Tang suit. During the non-existent time at the coffee shop, the two had a brief conversation. The old man once revealed that he gave Zhang Heng the gift so that he could participate in the game as his representative.
By analogy, does this mean that there are other agents in this world who also have different supernatural abilities?
Bruno was in a good mood tonight. Perhaps it was because of the effects of LSD on his brain, but he didn't stop talking. Instead, he continued, "I've seen her before. At a party for international students, I saw her walking towards me. She came for me because no one else in the villa could see her."
"Is it possible that you took too much drugs and lost your mind?" Zhang Heng frowned and suggested a possibility.
"No, she's real, just like us. No, wait … she's more real than the boring world outside. Although I did take quite a lot of drugs at that time, and I did suspect her existence at first, what happened later proved that I didn't lose my mind."
Bruno paused. "Among the friends I made, there was obviously someone who called me brother on the surface, but secretly hated me. I can almost guess who that person was. After all, I just stole his girlfriend. Although it only lasted for a week, I got sick of him. But to get back at me, he secretly called the police. Halfway through the party, the police rushed in. Although we destroyed the rest of the drugs as fast as we could, everyone was taken to the hospital for a checkup.
"… The school I went to is considered a famous school in Australia. If something like this really happened, I would be expelled. I don't really care about this kind of thing, but after all, I have been there for so long, and I will graduate in a year. If I am expelled now, my family will definitely be unhappy, especially those old antiques. I might even lose half of my pocket money because of this. But in the end, the test results came out. Guess what? I was the only one who didn't touch those little things at the party."
A smug look appeared on Bruno's face. "What's even funnier is that when the police rushed in, I was so high that I couldn't even stand up on my own. Since then, no matter how much I took drugs, no medical equipment could detect it. Urine, blood, saliva … whatever you use. It's a miracle, a real miracle!"
"…."
Zhang Heng did not know what to say. Bruno must have encountered a similar situation as him, but the power he obtained was a little … hard to comment on. Fortunately, he seemed to be quite satisfied with it. It was probably the kind of supernatural power that addicts like him had always dreamed of.
Zhang Heng didn't continue the topic. Instead, he raised the butter knife a few centimeters higher and said, "You tampered with my plane, and now you dare to appear in front of me. Do you think I won't kill you?"
"No, I have no doubt that you have the ability to kill me. But … I believe you won't do it." Bruno laughed. Even though blood was oozing from his neck, his tone was still relaxed.
"Why?"
"You don't want Apollo 11 to be delayed because the final team lacks an astronaut, right? If that happens, none of us will be able to complete the main mission." Bruno blinked. "Since I dare to appear here, it means that the final list has been decided."
As soon as his voice trailed off, someone knocked on the door again.
