Real Players of the Department of Life

Chapter 117

After Jing Shuo left, Wen Yan remembered that he didn't tell 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 nonsense and some political skills that are not brilliant."

Zhang Cishun looked away.

But immediately after, Wen Yan said again:
"Okay, I know what you want to say now. Do you know that Jing Shuo is here? If you know, why don't you stop him." Wen Yan whispered, his voice only spreading within the hearing range of the two of them. With.

"...So how are you going to answer?"

"Yeah. I have to make this 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 to have 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. Black Flag’s ‘forced deterrence’ isn’t it.”

Zhang Cishun raised his eyes and scanned all the people around him, and all kinds of living things 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 regard. But within the rules, Jing Shuo has done a good job."

"You mean in a cage?" Zhang Cishun said: "There are two worlds inside and outside the cage. You should never expect that what people show inside will affect the outside world. No one will do it because of the cage. They will only regard it as a plaything, and then when they suddenly think of it one day in the future, it will become a joke with others at the wine table.”

"...Relax, buddy." Wen Yan raised his hand and patted Zhang Cishun's shoulder gently. Because of the height difference between the two, the 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."

Zhang Cishun was stunned for a moment by Wen Yan's sudden change of topic.He subconsciously touched his face.

"Have it?"

Wen Yan nodded matter-of-factly.

"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 one of his hands like a fist: "Clenched it They become the fingers of a fist. Maybe because of your experience with Jing Shuo in City 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 on earth 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 after thinking about it for 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 between him 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 he is now..." Wen Yan thought for a while, abandoned the most intuitive evaluation, and used other metaphors: "Xiacheng District is Jing Shuo's comfort zone. If you leave there, you will even leave No. 88 directly. City, made him cautious. Maybe he didn't realize it. Even you didn't realize it, but it doesn't matter, now I realize it."

"Yes, you are right. When Jing Shuo was carried into that cage, I was 'watching' the whole time, and not once did I miss a beat. But I feel that instead of pointing out the mistake from the beginning, we should tell He shouldn't do this. Instead, he might as well let him experience it himself a few times. People always grow through setbacks, not to mention, this is not a setback."

"Breaking 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 now we can undo our mistakes."

Zhang Cishun suddenly felt 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 am 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 Wen Yan's forehead: "I'm not sick, so why are you talking nonsense? Besides, there are only five people in our team. If you have this leisure, you can raise more I don’t mind even one.”

"Did you forget something? 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 am more awake than you and figured out what I want to do earlier.

I spent the first half of my life following my sister's footsteps, but now I no longer have her guidance ahead of me, and I was confused for a while.I chose to go out for a walk with you and see the outside world.Although I still haven’t found the direction of my future life, I don’t mind watching a person with a dream implement his dream path.

what about you?
You're not awake and you don't know what you want to do.You are being pushed along from start to finish.After hearing Jing Shuo's dream, you came up with the idea of ​​helping him.But once you throw away that part of Jing Shuo, what are you left with?

You are confused, and so am I.

We are all confused.But you and I are both lucky to have Jing Shuo here at least.His existence will prevent us from becoming so idle.otherwise……"

When Wen Yan said this, he paused for a moment before continuing: "From a certain perspective, this No. 110 City No. [-] is really a very good place. It gives all escapees a harbor, a false The world, a pure joy.

Without Jing Shuo and his seemingly absurd dream.I will probably choose to park 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.

"Someone is coming."

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.”

Wind flag...

Zhang Cishun didn't know where the other party came from, but at least he was not a person with a pure color flag, so judging from the status of the black flag they were raising now, he was 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 thoughts about the conversation with Wen Yan, and uttered two words as a response to the two of them.

"this way please."

The two 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 pretty easy to get in touch with, 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. At the same time, we can also let Fengqi's people test whether they are real."

"That's the truth."

"By the way, have you contacted Mr. Wang from Yunqi?"

"I contacted several familiar people to act as intermediaries and wanted 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 quite right."

"Just wait and see, it will last this winter anyway."

"..."

-

Zhang Cishun Wenyan followed the two of them into the elevator, and was finally sent to the 21st 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.

"Is this entire floor covered?" Zhang Cishun clicked his tongue. For 30 oasis coins a week for a room, this entire floor...

"I don't know if there are any discounts. But in terms of financial resources, Feng Qi is probably much better than Yun Qi."

"You can't look at it this 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 can think of them as...only in the oasis." Studio opened in winter.”

"Can a normal person earn 30 in seven days?"

"Of course not. Their boss sold a lot of information. The most valuable one...is about a field information. The coordinates, the field rules that have been summarized. How much do you think this information was sold for?"

"1000?"

"It almost adds up." Wen Yan said.

"Add it all up? You mean they sell more than one product?"

"Of course. This is normal behavior. But if the buyer has the 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, If you let it out, will this wind flag..."

As she spoke, she made a wiping motion with her fingers in front of her neck.

"...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 suddenly wanted to have fun."

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. The number of experimental subjects who died in my hands was not even ten thousand, but nearly a thousand. What is your impression of me?" At most, it's just the impression I had when I was controlled by the stamp of thought, but you should understand that that's not the real me.

At least not exactly me. "

"Then you mean that you are the real you now?"

"I don't know, because... I have no way to be sure."
