Abnormal Doomsday Records

Chapter 116. Still the same familiar pit, still the same familiar choice
Little Acholi did not see Weng Meiyu when the banquet ended, which made him feel that the situation was not good.

After waiting in his aircraft for a few minutes, he saw Afu returning to his side with a barely perceptible aura of anxiety. Before little Acholi could speak, Afu explained:

"It's done. We've got the Time Beast. It will be delivered to you tonight."

"You fought with someone?"

The surface governor glanced at Afu and said:
"No trace left?"

"If the ashes are scattered to feed the fish, then there is no point in going back in time."

Afu said briefly:
"Time psionics are difficult to deal with, let alone three of them at once. But anyway, I'm still better."

"Cattle!"

Little Acholi gave a thumbs up and said:
"Then let's go back and wait for news?"

"Well, didn't Weng Meiyu make the arrangements?"

Afu looked at little Acholi in surprise, and the latter rubbed his eyebrows uneasily and said:
"Well, that's the problem. Something seemed to go wrong at the end, and it suddenly occurred to me that Meiyu seemed to have done something without telling me. It's not a bad thing, but she may have made a promise that she couldn't keep.

Little fool, I know she may want to better demonstrate her abilities, but you see, don't I have to step in to settle this trouble?
Alas, there has been growth, but not much.

Let's go. "

"Where?"

"Save him! And have a face-to-face chat with Mr. Zhou Ke. He has obtained the Time Beast and passed the test, so we should naturally treat him as a partner. Do you think we should prepare a gift?

You've met him, what do you think he would like?"

"That guy is a pervert. He likes robots. The more sexy they are, the better he likes them."

"what?"

------

"boom"

With a familiar heavy blow, the black cloth covering Weng Meiyu's eyes was removed. When she saw what was in front of her, even though this girl was very well-mannered, she cursed in her heart.

It’s still the same familiar scene, same familiar taste.

A freshly dug hole was placed in front of her with two shovels next to it, but this time it was not a shallow hole for planting a money tree.

The pit in front of me is conservatively estimated to be three meters deep. If I fall into it, I won’t be able to climb out.

What?
You asked her why she confirmed the depth at a glance?
Isn't this nonsense?
This isn't the first time we've encountered this kind of situation, and with experience, we can naturally see the clues at a glance.

"Don't be impulsive!"

Weng Meiyu's performance this time was much better than last time.

She was still a little panicked but at least she didn't cry. She said loudly:

"Wait for Zhou Ke to come back! I'll tell him, Xiaoya! Don't do it now, or you'll regret it later."

"You liar."

Qiao Ya, who was still wearing an evening dress, kicked Weng Meiyu in the abdomen without any hesitation. She didn't hold back her strength and almost made Weng Meiyu vomit out the juice she drank today.

In a trance, she saw the people around Qiao Ya.

Qiao Shan was leaning against a French window not far away, smoking a cigarette. A strange red-haired woman was sitting on the steps, holding a bottle of beer and watching the fun with a smile. Next to the big pit were a few slender figures dressed as maids. Looking at the mud on their long skirts, it was clear that the pit was dug by them in a short period of time.

It's obvious that he is not an ordinary person because he can dig the hole so quickly.

Weng Meiyu even saw the exquisite and unique logo of "Crystal Palace Housekeeping Service Company" on their maid uniforms, and at that moment a wonderful idea emerged in her mind.

I've only heard of free laundry service while doing housework, but I've never seen a housekeeper personally help dig a hole to bury someone.
Are even domestic services so expensive these days?

"Xiaoya, don't do it."

Mu Fang next to her still didn't understand what was going on. She had followed Qiao Ya here in a daze.

Seeing Qiao Ya trying to bury Weng Meiyu, she was a little scared and quickly reached out to grab the angry Qiao Ya, which saved Weng Meiyu from a beating. Lying on the ground, she took a breath and said breathlessly:
"I admit that I played a little trick when I made the promise, but you have to believe me, I can definitely get you a ticket to the Garden of Eden. I can send you there, it doesn't matter whether it's the ticket from the Weng family or not!
Zhou Ke is a pragmatist."

"Is that the ticket we want? Is that the ticket we need?"

Seeing that Weng Meiyu, the obsessed fool, still didn't understand the key point of the problem, Qiao Ya couldn't help but pounce on her and grab her delicate collar and roared:
"You big-breasted, brainless idiot! When Zhou Ke and Moni escaped from the Castle of the End together, Moni gave him the ticket of the Panis family! We don't need that ticket at all! You are a hopeless guy. If Zhou Ke finds out that you cheated him, you will be finished!

The trust of a Badlander is the most precious thing you have, and you just betrayed him.

I'm saving you, do you understand?

I've said it before, you can only choose one between benefit and trust!
You are such a little genius, you actually made the wrong choice at the last step! All the hard work you have done before was in vain!"

"help me?"

Weng Meiyu was stunned.

She looked at Qiao Ya, a little confused for a moment, and then she heard Qiao Ya screaming at her:

"I don't believe a single punctuation mark in what that old man said. I'm not stupid enough to be fooled by a few words, but he is really capable. He saw at a glance the landmine you buried for yourself.

Zhou Ke will be here soon.

If you still can't figure out how to deal with it, then be prepared to fall into this pit."

“But I can give him the ticket.”

Weng Meiyu also tried to defend herself.

But Qiao Ya was almost driven crazy by this guy. Her mind was full of calculations of interests and she still didn't understand the key to the problem. Zhou Ke was indeed teaching her, but now it seemed that he was going too far and directly labeled Weng Meiyu as an idiot "extreme pragmatist."

Nothing good can come of going to extremes in anything.

"Okay, Xiaoya, stop talking nonsense."

Amanda, who was sitting on the steps watching the fun, yawned and said:
"You can't explain it to a fool who grew up in a soft environment like the City-State District. She simply can't understand how precious trust is to us Badlanders. She treats everything as a transaction, so she naturally has to bear the risks of the transaction breaking down.

The truth is always simple.

Just because you can buy a bag of bread with one hundred yuan doesn’t mean that the store owner will have to sell it to you if you take the one hundred yuan to the store.

He doesn't even understand the ways of the world. This guy's life will be like this.

I suggest you just push her away.

She is beyond help, but perhaps you can use this opportunity to show your growth to your guardian."

"This is not a question of emotional intelligence. Miss Weng Meiyu is actually quite capable of handling things."

Qiao Shan, who was leaning against the car and smoking, curled his lips and said:

"It's purely a difference in habits, but she did commit a terrible taboo. Maybe it's because she has been dealing with girls for the past few years?"

"Hey, what do you mean?"

Amanda stared at Qiao Shan unhappily and said:

"Except for you, there are only girls here. How about we bury you? If you can't talk, just shut up, okay?"

"Good good."

Qiao Shan put his hand on his lips, indicating that he would not talk too much.

But their conversation had already made Weng Meiyu understand. She finally realized the key issue and her face suddenly turned pale.

Thinking back now, it seemed that in the past few days, Moni had always reminded her of this indirectly, and even her own brother had repeatedly told her that when dealing with violent elements like Zhou Ke, she had to be honest even if it meant suffering some loss.

So everyone knew about Zhou Ke’s weak spot, but no one told her?
Is your popularity so bad?

"They're coming."

Just as Qiao Ya was about to step forward and say a few more words to Weng Meiyu angrily, Qiao Shan stood up and said something.

When everyone looked up, they saw a flying vehicle flying towards the apartment. After the aircraft landed on the helipad above the apartment, Zhou Ke, Moni and D-4 jumped out of it. Zhou Ke was holding a strange animal in his arms.

You can see that he is in a good mood.

"Hey, what are you all doing here? Why is there such a big hole on the ground? Who is so unethical? If you don't fill the hole in the middle of the night, what if someone accidentally falls into it?"

Zhou Ke came over with the Time Beast in his arms and said to the people around him:

"Who are you going to bury here?"

"I can explain!"

Weng Meiyu screamed.

Zhou Ke seemed to have just noticed her, turned his head to look at her, then turned back to Moni and said:

"How strange! How can a corpse speak?"

"Just talk about something from the world of the living."

Moni blew out smoke rings and said with a gloomy face:
"Don't bury it here! This yard has good feng shui. It would be so disgusting to bury a corpse here. I think why not throw it into the garbage dump where Old White used to stay? Find a few knifemen from the slums. I promise to do a beautiful job for you. They can cut the body into pieces to the point where even the detector can't detect any abnormalities.

They are professionals in this field, providing one-stop service. It’s just a matter of making a phone call.”

"I can do it for you." D-4 looked at her "best friend" who was in a desperate situation with regret and whispered:
"The high-temperature flames are then used to burn the bones, and then the bones are treated with chemicals and spread out as fertilizer. It only takes a few hours to completely cover up the traces. If speed is the goal, then faking an aircraft accident does not even require the disposal of the bodies. All it takes is a bottle of wine and a flammable wire to strangle the neck."

Several Crystal Palace maids nearby immediately whispered to each other, and then recorded this "little life hack" in their shared action database.

Oh, only the D-4 instructor is professional in doing this kind of thing!
They kept talking to each other, which not only frightened Mu Fang, who was participating in this "little energy-gathering activity" for the first time, but also frightened Weng Meiyu, who was lying on the ground, so much that her whole body was shaking.

She felt that these guys didn't seem to be joking, so she said loudly:
"Don't be like this, I know I was wrong! Zhou Ke, I shouldn't have lied to you, I..."

"You just know you're going to die, honey."

D-4 gently blocked Weng Meiyu's pale defense with one sentence.

But perhaps because today's operation went smoothly, Zhou Ke was in a good mood.

He handed the time beast in his arms to Qiao Ya to take care of, and told her to find some fresh leaves for the little thing. Then he dismissed the Crystal Palace maids who were watching the fun and asked them to say hello to the head maid Noka.

Then he squatted down and said to Weng Meiyu:
"Now you know why I looked for Bert in advance?

Because when I saw you for the first time, I knew that your "smart" brain would one day get you into trouble that you couldn't handle.

Bert would not lie to us like this and try to be smart by planning to 'get on the bus first and buy the ticket later'. He would tell us directly if he couldn't do it, and we would work together to think of an alternative plan.

but you
Let me put it this way, Meiyu.

When we picked up D-4 that day, and you agreed to my terms so readily, I knew there was something fishy going on. If you really had that thing in your hand, who would feel at ease if you didn't take the opportunity to negotiate a few more terms?

It’s a good thing to still have ambition in this rotten era.”

Zhou Ke reached out and stroked Weng Meiyu's long hair. After a few seconds, he pulled her up by her hair and said in a sinister tone:
“But you actually treat me, Moni and other brothers and sisters as stepping stones to pursue your ambitions?

Where do you get the courage from?

If I really believed your lies and you couldn't produce the ticket afterwards, what would you do to Xiaoya? In the most extreme case, you might kill your cousin with your own hands! What's the difference between you and the Weng family you hate?
Would you choose to become a ghost just to take revenge on a group of ghosts?
I really hate people who don't take their own lives seriously, especially those who don't take other people's lives seriously.

I’m sorry, Miyu.

I always treat giving trust as a game, which may be considered vulgar by some people, but I know it is necessary. It is the last level, but you did not pass it, and got a horribly low score!

The last person who dared to do this was Mark
Moni, tell Meiyu, what happened to our old friend Mark? "

"It's better not to say it, for fear of scaring her. After all, the head is still floating in the stinking ditch of Castle End."

Moni shook his head and said:
"Meiyu shouldn't have made such a mistake, but she was a little impatient. She has been a little too proud recently and thinks she can have the best of both men.

She seems to think she has figured you out.

Unfortunately, she made the same mistake with you that she made with little Acholi.

They don’t learn to respect their collaborators, nor do they learn to trust others.”

"Is my trust in you asking you to be a good person at this time?"

Zhou Ke glanced at Moni and said:
"How much did Meiyu give you to let you risk angering me to speak for her? I don't really intend to kill her. We are not murderers. Moni, don't be so extreme."

He untied the rope for Weng Meiyu, patted her shoulder and said:

"It's over. You can go now, Meiyu. Don't call me again. I'm afraid little Acholi might misunderstand."

"what?"

Weng Meiyu folded her arms.

Although it was not cold tonight, she was still shivering. She looked at Zhou Ke and then at Moni.

Perhaps for the sake of old classmates, Moni blew out a smoke ring and explained:

“We have obtained the Time Beast and have become de facto partners with Little Acholi. You are no longer useful as a contact person. In fact, we originally planned to bring you into the game so that you can be equal to Little Acholi in personality.

This is not to fool you.

Zhou Ke and I discussed this plan very seriously, and we felt that you had the qualifications to become a long-term partner. Unfortunately, you made a terrible and stupid mistake.

Not to mention Zhou Ke, I can't tolerate a collaborator who is full of lies.

Temporary interests are not that important in our eyes. We are doing big things, not fighting for territory. As long as they are trustworthy partners and as long as we are united enough, what we lose in the early stage can be won back in the later stage.

Unfortunately, in your opinion, achieving the goal is more important than gaining trust.

You will win, win, win all the way, and then lose everything in the end.

I don't know what you think about this matter, but I dare not entrust the lives of me and my brothers and sisters to such a person.

You're out, Meiyu.

Go back to your room and rest. We are still friends. We can still have a meal, drink and have sex together, but the rest is none of your business."

"You can't do this!"

Weng Meiyu's body shook even more violently, this time not because of the cold or fear but because of anger.

She screamed:

"The Weng family's tickets were cancelled 20 years ago, but I promise I can get you that ticket. I..."

"Alas, you still don't understand."

Zhou Ke looked back at her.
This time there was no anger or regret, only a hint of disappointment, he said:

"When we were negotiating the terms that day, if you had told me directly that you couldn't get the ticket, and then told me about the Weng family, I would have trusted you more. The way you said you could get the ticket back was nothing more than starting with little Acholi.

But here is the problem.

Now we have what he needs, why can't we just take it from him? Why do we have to pass it on to you and make you do favors from both sides?

I rarely preach to others directly, as this way of speaking is not appreciated and is therefore stupid and worthless.

But today I will say it!

This is what I taught you.

We allow you to take those favors, they are the privilege of a partner, not what you deserve!
When we first met, I told you not to expect to control anyone with your body or anything else. The real way to make friends is the simplest, dumbest and most time-wasting way.

You give me a little sincerity, and I give you a little trust.

You did a good job at the beginning, but then I don’t know why you suddenly chose a more quick-success approach.

When doing big things, you can’t be so clever.”

"Joker! Another aircraft is approaching here."

Wu Neng reminded:
"The other party didn't cover the beacon. It was little Acholi who came over."

"Look, smart people always know what to do to make their partners feel comfortable. Little Acholi is also better at dealing with people than you think. He knows that what we need is not profit, and we haven't reached the stage of discussing profit yet."

Zhou Ke waved his hands and said:

"What is needed at this stage is respect from both sides.

He came here in person to show us respect, and I didn't hurt you to show him respect.

You don't need to think about how to make it up to me and Moni.

We don't need it anymore.

Meiyu, think about how to make up for the points you lost with little Acholi.

I think he would be as disappointed as I am. After all, he really gave you some real power and wanted to see how far you could go.

Unfortunately, you failed him as well.

With a little bit of cleverness, you can disappoint two men who have high hopes for you at the same time.
Lies, isn't that amazing? "

After saying that, Zhou Ke and Moni turned around and left, not forgetting to remind D-4 to make an appointment for housekeeping service and ask the maids to come again tomorrow to fill this hole.

Well, doing the same thing over and over again seems meaningless, but the maids got wages and work, Zhou Ke and Moni spent money to buy good moods, and the yard was also tidied up.

No one is dissatisfied, this is probably the magic of economics.

Little Acholi's aircraft came down. Because the top apron was occupied, the aircraft could only lower the gangway in a suspended posture.

The surface governor grabbed the gangway and landed on the ground. He immediately saw Weng Meiyu shivering at the edge of the pit.

He stepped forward and took off his cloak to cover her shoulders with great compassion. When Weng Meiyu was about to speak in tears, little Acholi whispered:
"Go back to the aircraft and rest for a while. I'll talk to you later when I finish my business. Be good."

After saying that, he straightened his clothes and walked towards the living room in front. Zhou Ke and Moni were sitting on the sofa. There were three cups of tea on the table, one of which was left for little Acholi.

But it should have been hers.
Weng Meiyu stared blankly at the three men in the living room who were having a lively conversation.

She felt even colder.

Looking at the pit under her feet, she had the urge to just jump in. How could she fall into the same pit twice?

Yes.

Weng Meiyu, what the hell is wrong with you!
A few seconds later, a voice sounded not far away:
"Come here, is it cold staying there?"

She looked up and saw Qiao Ya, who had changed into pajamas, standing on the steps with two cups of tea in her hands. She said to her:
"Come sit in my room. I have something to discuss with you. Zhou Ke doesn't want you anymore, and that's your own fault. But I happen to be short of people here. Do you want to come?"
