Chapter 29. Let's play chess
"You want to get rid of me?"
"of course not."
"It's best not," Li leaned against Zhou Jinru and spoke in a low tone, "Amiya is very angry. You can try to slow down a little. Wait for her, but she can't catch up with your pace. Even she will feel frustrated."
Zhou Jinru was silent, took out an energy bar from his pocket and stuffed it into Li's hand.
His movements caught Breeze's attention, Breeze looked over and asked: "I remember the doctor sneaked out, how did you catch up with him?"
Zhou Jinru immediately responded to this question: "Amiya and I divided the city of St. Aral into countless small pieces, and asked the operators to sweep them one by one. The team that completed the task automatically moved to the center of the city. Where are the
Just go where there is any movement, and you don’t have to report to the command center when there is an emergency.”
"Quite an interesting tactic, very old and very effective."
Yan Ke's voice came from the earphones, and Zhou Jinru realized that his microphone had not been turned off in time. Fortunately, he did not say anything about social death in front of the operators.
He calmly reached out and turned off the microphone, pretending that nothing happened: "I just didn't expect you to come so fast."
Li curled his lips, not believing Zhou Jinru's explanation at all, and bumped his head on his shoulder.
"Let's get down to business first. What should we do about the pilot?"
"After a trial, we have to figure out who is stabbing us in the back. Don't worry if he is a tough guy. Rheinland Life Research Institute has a hundred ways to make him talk."
Rhode Island's convoy quickly caught up with its companions in front, and after merging, drove into the Timos Manor without any hindrance.
Today's Demos Manor is deserted, with only a few servants hurriedly opening the door and letting the huge motorcade drive in.
"This is my first real visit to Deimos Manor."
As Zhou Jinru spoke, he jumped out of the car, turned around and reached out to lift Li Li out of the car. After Miss Marmot exhausted her strength, she became very weak, light in weight and soft in body.
"There are still two hours of daybreak. Operators who are on alert should work hard. Others should seize the time to rest. Hand over the captured people to Rhine Life researchers and tell them not to kill them."
Zhou Jinru gave a brief explanation and was not even interested in watching the interrogation process. He entrusted Li to Breeze and followed the current person in charge of Dimos Manor to the main building.
"Mr. Aguang, is this really your first time here?"
Zhou Jinru nodded and casually touched the lamp on the wall. He acted as if he was already a regular visitor here.
The person in charge pretended not to see it and guided him all the way to Russell Demos's personal living room before his death. He stood in front of the door and said respectfully: "Mr. Demos said that if Mr. Aguang is willing, you can come here."
Take a rest and feel free to look through the contents inside."
"Not yet."
Zhou Jinru laughed. Unexpectedly, Russell was still running against him even though he was dead. He stepped into his personal living room and closed the door behind him.
He stood at the door and looked inside. The decoration was exactly the same as in the dream world. There were antique coffee tables in front of the two sofas next to the fireplace.
Zhou Jinru walked to the coffee table and touched the chessboard on the coffee table. The chess pieces were neatly placed in their initial positions. They played a game of chess here that day.
He sat in the same position as before, recalling every scene that had happened, and finally believed the fact that Russell was dead.
"To be honest, I thought you would give me a big surprise."
Gently twisting the smooth chess pieces with his fingers, Zhou Jinru sighed. He did not dislike Russell. That man even lost his life for the Rust Belt. If he changed the fate of the Rust Belt without moving the city, the people who benefited from him would
Always remember his name.
"rest in peace."
Zhou Jinru closed his eyes, leaned back on the sofa, and relaxed his tense nerves. When he opened his eyes again, there was a woman dressed in black standing not far away, observing him carefully.
"Miss?"
The woman was wearing a silver-white mask for a masquerade and was unmoved by Zhou Jinru's call. At this time, a low and hoarse voice came from the sofa at his hand:
"Christina is curious about you."
The man sitting on the other sofa also wore a mask, but the difference was that his mask was black.
Zhou Jinru knew who was sitting there without having to guess.
Shadow!
A veritable six-star special male operator in the game!
"I'm a little surprised as to why you and Miss Christina are here."
The eyes under the puppet's mask were fixed on Zhou Jinru's face, and he said softly: "Miss Amiya said you need help, and my job is to protect your safety."
When he spoke, there was a suppressed singing voice in his voice.
Zhou Jinru did not pursue the question, but asked another question: "Did you do it to the dead pilot?"
The puppet shook his head: "No, I saw a man in a black uniform stabbing the pilot to death with a sword. He was very strong. I couldn't defeat him in that situation."
No lies.
It seems that someone else killed the pilot.
Zhou Jinru nodded slightly, rolled his eyes, and pointed to the chessboard at hand: "Can you play chess?"
"Doctor, I'm not here to play chess with you."
"There are better ways to spend your time, don't you want to try it?"
The puppet stared at Zhou Jinru, pinched a chess piece with his slender fingers, and moved forward one square.
The corners of Zhou Jinru's mouth turned up slightly, and he said casually: "What kind of situation do you need to defeat such an enemy?"
"A troupe, a stage, listen to me sing a song."
"There will be a chance."
Miss Christina moved her steps gracefully, carefully observing the objects in the reception room, and finally came to the two people who were playing chess. She looked at Zhou Jinru, then at the puppet, and finally stood behind Zhou Jinru.
A pair of gentle hands pressed on his shoulders, so close that he could smell the other person's breath. Zhou Jinru asked curiously: "Has she always been like this?"
"No, Christina only pays more attention to curious people. It can be seen that she likes you very much."
Zhou Jinru lowered his brows: "Many people like me."
The next moment, Christina disappeared without a trace. If he hadn't known the characteristics of these quick-resurrection operators, Zhou Jinru felt that he would have had a heart attack from being frightened by them.
"Did I say something wrong?"
The puppet replaced one of Zhou Jinru's chess pieces and said softly: "You're not angry. Christina said she has memorized your scent."
"I remember you are all Feilin..."
Zhou Jinru was mid-sentence when he shut up decisively, wondering what was wrong with him. Some things should not be said carelessly.
"General."
Within a few minutes, Zhou Jinru lost to the puppet, and the loss was quite tragic.
