"It seems that Nancy has taken care of the fat guy." Bruno laughed. "Don't worry about Mike. I left him a big gift. I have evidence to prove that he had something to do with the high school student's death. He thought he was going to deal with the accident investigation team, but in fact, the federal police were waiting for him. So, he's out of the game. Now, there are only the three of us left. I suggest that the three of us cultivate our relationship before we land on the moon. This will help the mission go smoothly. For example, we can start with you returning my game item."
"Is that so? Unfortunately, I don't think so." Zhang Heng put away the butter knife in his hand. "Thanks to you, I've recalled what happened before, and I realized that I did miss a lot of things. One of them is quite interesting. Do you want to hear it?"
"Why not? We still have a lot of time anyway. "Bruno sat on the sofa in his bathrobe and reached out to touch his throat. Although Zhang Heng didn't explicitly say it, the way he sheathed the knife showed his attitude. Bruno was quite satisfied with it.
"What's the date today?" Zhang Heng suddenly asked.
"I don't know. There are only two weeks left before the launch of Apollo 11 …" Bruno shrugged.
"I'm not talking about the time of the quest. I'm talking about the date in the real world before the quest begins."
"Why do you ask?"
"Have you ever thought about a problem? After being abandoned by his team, why didn't a good-for-nothing, cowardly fat guy find a new team that was willing to accept him? Why did he choose to participate in a single-player quest that was obviously more difficult and dangerous?"
"You also said that he was abandoned by his team. This proves that there's something wrong with his ability. It's not that he didn't look for another team, but he didn't find …" Bruno suddenly paused.
He also realized the problem. It was only the beginning of the month, and if Jia Lai was really abandoned by his original team, he still had a month to find a new team. There was no reason for him to give up at the beginning of the month and start the next game.
Bruno felt a strong sense of unease.
At the same time, Zhang Heng opened the door and saw Jia Lai standing outside.
The latter still had a timid expression on his face as he poked his head into the room. "Great! You're here."
He then turned to look at Zhang Heng and asked politely, "Are you going first, or should I?"
Zhang Heng stepped aside and let Jia Lai into the house. Jia Lai thanked him again.
"Where's Nancy?" Looking at Jia Lai walking towards him, Bruno's face turned a little ugly.
"You mean Zhen Xiong? She's with her little pet now. " Jia Lai smiled again. But this time, when Bruno saw the smile, his heart sank.
Jia Lai, on the other hand, was not in a hurry to say anything. He turned to Zhang Heng and asked, "Do you know how your engine stalled?"
"Hmm?"
"Nancy has a Grade-C game item that allows her to communicate with the small animals in an area and issue some simple commands. She was able to gather the nearby birds along your flight path in advance. Unfortunately, including the time she attacked me tonight, the effective usage of that item is up," Jia Lai said regretfully. He took two pieces of tissue from the table and wiped the blood off his fist.
"Did you kill her?" Bruno gulped.
"No, no, no. Although I have to admit that the idea is very tempting, I don't want to get into trouble. NASA has been very distressed lately, and I don't want to add to their workload." Jia Lai was very understanding.
Bruno didn't breathe a sigh of relief when he heard that. Instead, the look on his face turned even uglier. There was even a hint of panic.
Jia Lai noticed his expression. "I didn't kill your companion. You look very upset."
The corners of Bruno's mouth twitched, and the smile on his face was a little forced.
"Because when I attacked, I realized something. Now, there are only four of us left. If I kill Zhen Xiong, it means I have to kill you. I'm not sure if that's the right choice," Jia Lai said solemnly. "Although she has been deceiving me and using me as a cover to cover up her messy relationship with you and Mike, that's just how women are, isn't it? They are fickle creatures. You can't blame them for their nature, can you?" Jia Lai was serious when he said that.
Jia Lai moved another chair over and sat in front of Bruno. He then sighed. "It's strange. Before this, she flirted with all of you. She even flirted with that immature high school student. But to an ally like me, she wouldn't even let me touch her hand. But the more she treated me that way, the more excited I became.
"I have fantasized about this day more than once. When the mystery is revealed, when I stand in front of her, looking at the look of disbelief and horror on her face, seeing her kneeling at my feet, crying and begging me to forgive her, she is willing to give up everything for it. But when the day comes, I suddenly lose interest in her.
Jia Lai paused. "Then I suddenly realized that I'm not interested in her. I'm just enjoying the process," he said, reaching out and patting Bruno on the shoulder. "I know that some people in today's society only care about the results. Of course, I don't disagree that the results are very important. After all, I need to be in the final three, but … I like buts. But I think sometimes people are too stressed and neglect to enjoy the process. It's a little sad, isn't it?"
"What are you trying to say?" Bruno was a little confused by Jia Lai's sudden chicken soup for the soul. "It's simple.
After all, I'm friends with Zhen Xiong. Although she doesn't have much affection for me, I'm still willing to give her another chance at the last moment, "Jia Lai said as he took out a ballpoint pen and a piece of bloodied paper from his pocket." Here's the situation now. There's one more spot on the spacecraft, but there are only two of you left. We have to choose between the two of you. I want to be as fair as possible, so I gave her fifteen minutes to come up with a plan that can kill you without arousing NASA's suspicion. Now … I'm here to give you five minutes to come up with a plan that can kill her. After that, my loner and I will choose between these two plans to decide who will survive. Do you have any questions about this? "
Bruno didn't say anything. He quickly grabbed the ballpoint pen in front of him.
