0007 Chapter 1: Confessions of the Dead (Section 1)
a week ago…
A stretched version of the Rolls-Royce Phantom was running on the mountain road in the town at the foot of Olympus, speeding up and down, and occasionally stopping on the side of the road for a while.
The blond shepherd boy and his rectangular cow looked curiously at the car as they passed by, only to find that all the car windows were opaque. Except for the expressionless driver, who looked like a man in black in a movie, no one could see the car.
any situation.
Interestingly, this situation is not caused by the one-way glass common in luxury cars. In fact, it is also impossible to see outside from the rear compartment.
For a small town like a paradise, it is definitely quite rare to see such a high-end luxury car; but for the two people in the back compartment, this temporary car is not up to par.
"Miss Zhen, it's really flattering that you are here to participate in my game. I heard... that you were involved in trouble just now? You know what I mean, the kind of... big trouble?"
The blond middle-aged man wore an unbranded suit, crossed his legs and smiled slightly. He stretched out his arms and hugged the entire back seat, as if he had the world in the palm of his hand:
"If you encounter any problems that can't be solved, you can ask me. Our two families have quite a lot of overlap in many fields. We are both the best among our peers. I can also be said to be your uncle. Hahahaha
…”
Opposite the man, the girl sat with her back to the driver through the opaque bulletproof glass. She lowered her eyes calmly. The Hanfu suit matched her perfectly, but it was incompatible with the environment in the car and even the scenery outside.
It's like a lifetime ago.
"Uncle Anbis Scarry," Zhen Cheng sighed, emphasizing the pronunciation of the word "uncle" as if to be sarcastic, and then slightly raised the corners of his mouth: "I came to participate in the game just because I am a detective.
Just the best,"
The man spoke in Greek, and Zhen Cheng responded in Chinese. Miraculously, there was no obstacle to the communication between the two.
"I checked on the plane here. Last year's tax return for Thetis Pharmaceuticals was less than four-fifths of the actual profit." Zhen Cheng raised his eyes slightly, and the girl's face, which had not yet fully grown, faded away.
The sweetness, accompanied by the slight smile that slightly raises the corner of the mouth, makes people suddenly feel a chill.
"Ha, as expected of Miss Thirteen, she was able to find out things that even my father didn't know about. So...so?" The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows at Zhen Cheng with an expression like a parent encouraging a child to think hard,
It shows the arrogance of having the four words "overestimating one's own abilities" written on his face.
In the eyes of Anbis, Zhen Cheng is just a victim who was put on a pedestal by mediocre civilians. He is really not convinced by her famous name in the detective circle. But he is blameless for what is recognized by the world, so he can only secretly feel resentful.
That’s all.
But now this little girl dared to turn her gun-and-stick talk to the business field, which made him laugh a little.
"It seems that you don't mind if the family knows about that trick. Of course, there is no country or law in the world that can restrain Scarry. I just don't know if your father knows... This money has never left the investment or entered you.
My pocket has disappeared?"
Zhen Cheng said, the smile on his face became more subtle: "If your father doesn't even mind this, I guess... my father will be very interested in it."
It is reasonable for Anbis to personally need some pocket money. But his contempt for Zhen Cheng was too hasty and he showed a confident attitude. If the Scarry family, which does not need to fear any state power, is secretly gathering funds...
…Considering that the goal behind it is extremely unlikely to affect Zhen’s interests.
A good detective is always very sharp.
No matter how shaken he was in his heart, Anbis did not show any panic on his face. He was just forced to put away his superior posture, put down his crossed legs, leaned forward, bit his lip and said seriously:
"Perhaps you really don't need Scarry's help when faced with the problem of being involved in the [Secret Space]. But since you choose to participate in the game, it means that you still care about the prize, right?"
Zhen Cheng stretched out his right hand and gently tapped his temple, which was still as white as jade and had not yet been imprinted with any strange runes: "Interesting, I did not choose to change the topic. What I thought of immediately after being hit was not to cover up. You are really a
An enterprising person...
'Uncle' Anbis, if you guessed correctly, the whereabouts of this money are related to the prizes of this game, right? This is really beyond my expectation."
"What on earth do you want to say?" Anbis was impatiently irritated.
"What I want to say is," Zhen Cheng suddenly stared directly at the other man and said word by word: "I really need the golden mask and the secrets it contains, so you'd better make sure this is a fair fight.
game.
If you have any prior arrangements that affect fairness, it's best to confess now. The prize is originally Scarry's. I can withdraw from the game, but I will not become a pawn to achieve your goals.
Is this... clear enough? Otherwise, maybe it would be better to kill you here now..."
"Oh...hahahaha..." The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed, leaned forward and patted Zhen Cheng on the shoulder: "Miss Zhen is joking, your Oriental humor is really puzzling, hahaha
…”
"Are you kidding? No," Zhen Cheng shook his head thoughtfully: "You see, I have been involved in the [Secret Space]. If I can't get the golden mask, I may not live long at all.
If at this time I find that the only hope I have left is still a scam arranged by others... Do you think I should go all out and drag the person who deceived me to death with me?
Or... do you think I'm bluffing here because I haven't prepared the means to kill you here?" After saying that, she raised her eyebrows slightly deliberately, giving people the impression that it was difficult to grasp the reality and the reality.
While the girl was chatting and laughing unpredictably, Anbis Scarry, who owned the world's top business empire and had countless blood on his hands, was really stunned.
Zhen Cheng's acting skills are not superb, but she cleverly seizes the opportunity to remind the other party to recall her own deeds. She is the thirteenth lady who is willful enough to sever ties with the family and refuses to inherit the position of head of the family out of temper, the only one in the world who has ever
The Thirteenth Miss who defied the powerful head of the Zhen family.
In a desperate situation, what is there that she wouldn't dare to do?
Although he couldn't imagine how the sixteen-year-old girl in front of him could kill him in the carriage with her bare hands. But he didn't dare to bet, because he knew very well that there were extraordinary powers in this world, especially after handling the organization tonight
After this game.
Taking ten thousand steps back, even if Zhen Cheng was involved in the [Secret Space] incident and successfully survived, she still would not be able to embark on the extraordinary path; as she said, she had already cut off her retreat, and she was afraid that she would not be able to pull her together to die together.
Many ways.
For the first time, Mr. Ambis Scarry, who boasted that he had the world in his pocket, began to regret why he had despised the child in front of him just because of his age, to the point where he almost knew nothing about her secrets.
This time, his forehead began to sweat involuntarily, and he began to consider whether he could strike first with the help of the driver if he took out the pistol under his arm. Hell, he didn't even know if Miss Thirteen was a transcendent.
At what level.
This panic is not because this all-powerful entrepreneur has never seen the world. On the contrary, it is precisely because he has killed too many people and met too many masters that Anbis can see the true calmness behind Zhen Cheng's calm words.
and ruthless.
"I'm just kidding," just when Anbis almost raised his hand to reach for his collar, Zhen Cheng suddenly said, shrugging casually: "You Westerners really don't understand humor."
The car stopped again, but did not continue to drive as quickly as before. Zhen Cheng heard the driver get out of the car, and then the rear door was opened from the outside.
Outside, under the dusk surrounded by dark clouds, is a manor.
Looking at the luxury car that seemed to be escaping away, Zhen Cheng let out a long sigh of relief in her heart. In the exchange of words, she was the one who should feel guilty. Once the verbal provocation pushed the other party beyond the limit of reason, she would
He was the idiot who had nowhere to cry after being shot.
But in order to clarify some things and test the organizer's attitude, Zhen Cheng had to take a desperate risk - she desperately needed the prize of the game.
In fact, if she was really an extraordinary person, why would she have to fight for the power of the Golden Mask in order to survive? It's a pity that Anbis's decades of experience cannot compare to her extremely high attainments in acting.
A young lady who doesn't want to be a movie queen is not a good detective.
