nightmare exec

Chapter 138 Forget-me-not (

The farewell party suddenly fell into tension and silence because of the appearance of Shaffley.All eyes were on the tall man.

Today's Tsavorite is still wearing a well-tailored high-end suit, and even wears a chest scarf and corsage.He has always been a person who pays attention to appearance and good taste, and now he looks even more handsome and extraordinary.

Under the stunned and speechless gaze of the audience, he walked towards Mithril step by step, as if the hangover in the oak forest last night had nothing to do with him.

"Don't worry, I'm not here to make trouble."

Facing the covetous eyes of everyone in Yugutai, he smiled in his eyes and explained kindly: "Since you can't stop it, then it's okay to come here to see off the old friend, right?"

This guy was still aggressive yesterday, why did he suddenly turn sexual?The more Song Yin thought about it, the more strange he became, and immediately exchanged a puzzled look with Qi Zhengnan who was beside him.

At this time, Shaffley had already presented a bunch of inconspicuous blue flowers to Mithril.

"Congratulations, happy retirement."

Song Yin didn’t know many flowers, but he just happened to know that they were forget-me-nots, and he also happened to know the legend behind this kind of flower—the knight who took the risk of picking flowers tried his best to throw this bouquet of small flowers to his lover before being washed away by the waves , while shouting "Don't forget me".

Why did Shaffley send such an inconspicuous flower as Mithril? Is there some disturbing meaning hidden behind it?

Or in other words, the bouquet is just a literal meaning, because I think too much?

Song Yinzheng was a little nervous, when suddenly he heard Shaffley say to Mithril again: "I was impulsive yesterday afternoon. Then I thought about it carefully—although you don't want to stay in purgatory for me, but I don't want to stay in purgatory for me, either." You return to reality. It can only be said that neither of us can put the other in the first position, which is considered even. Since there is no destiny, it is better to cut the mess quickly. From now on, the bridge returns to the bridge, and the road returns to the road. , stop here."

As he said that, he couldn't tolerate Mithril's objection, and directly stuffed the bunch of forget-me-nots into Mithril's hands.Then he turned around and strode towards the door without looking back.

Just leave?Easy, just break it?

There were whispers all around, and Song Yin also felt that things were getting more and more wrong.He went to observe the expressions of Mithril and Yu Gutai's other team members, and found that there were not a few people who felt uneasy.

Mithril tightly held the bundle of forget-me-nots that had been forced into her bosom, so strong that she could even hear the crisp sound of the flower stems being snapped off.

"Shaffley!" He asked with a livid face, "Did you do something you shouldn't do?!"

Shaffley, who had already walked several steps, suddenly turned around.

"Where did you say that?"

He smiled faintly, and returned to his usual mysterious and calm state: "In my dictionary, as long as there is something recognized, there is nothing that should not be done."

"You..." Mithril's lips trembled a few times, as if she wanted to ask something more.

However, Shaffley, who was faster than him, shook his head, and softly said an intriguing sentence——

"If you can't accept the answer, it's best not to ask the question."

After speaking, he took another step.

"Wait a minute!"

Song Yin has always been guilty of Mithril since she accidentally leaked the news yesterday.At this moment, he rushed forward without thinking, trying to stop Shaffley from leaving.

"You guys should speak clearly! The last chance!"

Although Shaffley was temporarily stopped by him, this movement, in the eyes of those who are determined to go, is nothing more than a mantis' arm.

"Go away."

The man taller than half his head stared at Song Yin, the friendliness in his eyes had long since disappeared.

"...I hate seeing you guys!"

After saying this, he pushed Song Yin back a bit, and just walked away like that.

"Are you okay?" Qi Zhengnan walked quickly to Song Yin's side and held his arm.

Song Yin did not immediately respond to her lover's concern, but instead stared at Shaffley's back for a long time before recovering.

"I'm fine." He shook his head, then gently tugged Qi Zhengnan's sleeve, "Let's find a place to talk."

So the two temporarily retreated to the empty kitchen, and as soon as the door was closed, Song Yin went straight to the point.

"Ayahuasca!" he whispered, "When Tsavorite pushed me just now, I smelled the aroma of ayahuasca on him!"

"Shaffley..." Qi Zhengnan certainly understood that the three words "Ayahuasca" meant trouble.But compared to Shaffley, he was obviously more worried about the person in front of him: "How do you know the smell of ayahuasca?"

"Uh. Well, Alexander Bai gave me a bottle..." Feeling a bit guilty, Song Yin changed the subject instantly: "Oh, now is not the time to discuss this! What is old Shana doing with ayahuasca? Don't you think he is weird today Is it? Are you going to do something?"

"Don't let this matter out in advance. It is illegal to use ayahuasca in purgatory. If the dose is large enough, you may even be dispatched to the airport." Qi Zhengnan first made an agreement with Song Yin, and then followed the words just now: "You said, Alexander gave you ayahuasca, and he gave it to me before. Could it be that he also gave the Tsavorite water this time?"

"It's very possible. Even if not, I guess Alexander knows something." Song Yin had already taken out his mobile phone, "I'm going to find out what he said now."

I don't know if it is lucky or not, but the call to Alexander was quickly connected.The voice on the other side sounded a little lazy: "...Little Butterfly? What's the matter? I went to bed late last night, and I'm still trying to catch up on sleep."

"Cheat a ghost." Song Yin didn't talk to him: "Your lighthouse has no signal at all. If you are really sleeping, I won't be able to find you at all."

The other side of the phone suddenly laughed: "I was careless. Tell me, what can you do to me?"

Song Yin knew that he was cunning, so he also used a little trick: "Why did you give Shaffley ayahuasca? Do you know that this matter is getting bigger now!"

"Me?" Alexander really pretended to be stupid, "I don't know what you're talking about."

"Oh, so it wasn't you." Song Yin decided to plan: "That would be the best, I will report that guy to the system now. I hope to stop Lao Sha from doing stupid things—do you think so?"

He got to this point, and Alexander really couldn't continue acting: "Do you need to do this, we are all friends. Protecting the privacy of customers is very important to sellers, how can you force me to smash myself Where's the sign?"

"Which is more important, the signboard or the life of a friend?"

Seeing that coercion was useless, Song Yin immediately changed his tactics: "Lao Sha and you and I are friends, and you also know that Mithril's departure has hit him hard. You don't want him to have any accidents, do you? Help us, please?" ?”

The tone on the other end of the phone gradually became serious: "But you are interfering with other people's freedom."

"Damn the freedom!" Song Yin was a little impatient, and her voice became hasty: "Where is there any real freedom in this world? Isn't it all about being pushed and shoved step by step to a dead end? ? As a brother, what if you want to help him? Even if you help him pick it out of the dead end and put it in a square extending in all directions to set him free?!"

He said such a long series of words in one breath, and he couldn't hold back so he stopped to catch his breath.

At this time, Alexander still maintained his teeth-itching calmness: "But how do you know that he has reached a dead end now?"

"If you say no, then show us the evidence! Tell us what he wants to do with the ayahuasca!" Song Yin took another deep breath, "If you can prove it's a good thing, I can kneel down and give it to you. Knock your head three times!"

Hearing his random harsh words, Qi Zhengnan rubbed his temples silently.

"You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately. I really convinced you." Alexander's dumbfounded voice came from the phone: "Let me tell you this, since last night, I have been in Lao Sha's safe house all the time." Li. Do you understand?"

Song Yin was shocked: "You have an affair with him?!"

"I hope that's what you said." Alexander sneered, and then lowered his voice: "Lao Sha has returned. It's not my turn to say anything else. In short, you can find a way to come here." After finishing speaking, he hung up Telephone.

"Shafelei has returned to the safe house." Song Yin relayed the current situation simply and clearly, "What should we do? Without Shafelei's permission, we cannot enter."

"His assistant officer has the authority to release people, but if Shaffley is at home, the assistant officer will not release people casually." Qi Zhengnan quickly calculated, "I'll ask Long Xiang's people, maybe they have a way."

"No need." A familiar voice suddenly came from the floor-to-ceiling windows on the side of the garden, "I'll take you there, right now."

----

Counting it, this should be Song Yin's second time entering Shaffley's safe house.But he could barely make out what he saw—

The teleportation point is located in the oak forest in Shaffley's mansion.In Song Yin's memory, there are rows of tall oak trees that shade the sun.However, at this moment, although the tall oak tree was still standing in place, its luxuriant branches and leaves were all withered, leaving only a bare, bone-like trunk, pointing directly at the gloomy sky of lotus gray.

And between such an ominous world, there is still a faint strange fragrance.

"What's this smell?" Mithril covered her mouth and nose vigilantly.

"It's ayahuasca!" Song Yin's previous guess was confirmed, and he signaled Mithril not to worry, the dose volatile in the air is not enough to pose any threat.

The three quickly looked around, and within sight, they did not find any container containing ayahuasca.

"The source should be indoors."

Qi Zhengnan pointed to Shaffley's mansion a hundred meters away, where the answers to all the questions should obviously be hidden.

But if the aroma came all the way from such a far place, it probably means that the dose of ayahuasca far exceeded Song Yin's imagination.

Weird, how much would it cost... Song Yin clicked his tongue secretly in his heart, but it didn't stop him from following Mithril and Qi Zhengnan, speeding up his pace towards Shaffley's mansion.

Sure enough, when we reached the gate of the mansion, the smell of ayahuasca was already strong enough to frown.Song Yin silently guessed its actual dose—a washbasin?I'm afraid it's not enough, that's a bathtub full...

Before he could find a suitable unit of measurement, Mithril quickly brought them to the correct answer.

It was the indoor swimming pool on the first floor of the mansion, and there was a jacuzzi beside the standard swimming pool.From a distance, they saw a man squatting by the pool.

"Yo, it's pretty fast."

The man, Alexander, waved at them.Then he sighed again——

"But you are still late, they have already set off."

Not knowing what the so-called "departure" meant, the three of them rushed to the edge of the pool with a strong aroma, and at the same time showed expressions of astonishment.

The water surface of the jacuzzi is crowded with big black flowers, like a sea of ​​black flowers.With such a capacity of ayahuasca, I am afraid that an ordinary executive will be far from being able to obtain it with all his savings.

Right now, Shaffley, who had just appeared at the farewell party, was quietly lying on his back among the dark-black flowers—and not one person, but two.

"How could there be two Shaffles?!" Song Yin was dumbfounded, "Couldn't it be that he has always had a twin brother?!"

"No, one of them is Xiaohao, his assistant officer." Qi Zhengnan has seen through the truth, "Shafele has been deliberately cultivating him, as if shaping another self. It seems that Shafele hoped from the beginning The assistant officer can be his substitute."

Mithril didn't want to waste time on this kind of analysis. He stepped forward and grabbed Alexander by the collar: "What's going on? What is Shaffley doing?!"

"There is no room for him in purgatory."

Alexander did not resist, but looked at him with a look of almost pity: "He is now going to send out the only person he is worried about - his assistant officer, so as not to be implicated by him. After all, once the executive officer leaves , the assistant officer will be taken back soon."

"Can't tolerate it? How can it not be tolerated?!"

It was clearly just three simple words, but among the three people who rushed over, none of them understood its true meaning.

Fortunately, Alexander did not intend to hide it from them anymore: "Shaffley and Sisyphus completed a deal. It is used to ensure that Sisyphus's people will not endanger the lives of Mithril and his family. The importance of trading items, It is enough to make Shaflei be sentenced to death immediately by Aksha."

"Capital punishment..." Song Yin couldn't believe his ears, "What did he hand over?"

"It's a list of all executives on the gambling ship who have purchased family information. As one of the behind-the-scenes management of the gambling ship, Shaffley has these vital information. He handed them over to Sisyphus."

"I don't understand!" Song Yin scratched his head vigorously, "It's just a list, as for the death penalty?"

On the contrary, Qi Zhengnan, who has been silent all this time, has already understood the stakes behind the list——

"Because the code name of the assistant officer and the addresses of the real family members are recorded in the transaction data of the casino. As long as you follow the map, you can quickly find a large number of retired assistant officers. The efficiency has been greatly improved. I am afraid that there will be a large number of people with Persian leopards in a short time." The same victims show up."

"My God!" Yesterday's memorial service is still fresh in his memory, Song Yin can't imagine what kind of sadness and anger will be shrouded in purgatory when more tragedies happen.

"Damn it! Shaffley...how could...how could he be?!" Few words could no longer express the great astonishment and entanglement in his heart, Mithril gritted his teeth and walked towards the pool full of black flowers.

"You can't go down." Alexander stopped him in time: "This is Shaffery's safe house. Once you enter the range of Ayahuasca, you will also be drawn into Shaffery's conscious world."

"This matter must be reported to the Aksha system as soon as possible." Qi Zhengnan took out his mobile phone and glared at Alexander: "You have gone too far this time, I can't turn a blind eye to it."

"I'm also a person floating in the rivers and lakes, and I can't help myself everywhere." Alexander didn't stop, but only let out a few wry smiles.

Qi Zhengnan's phone call was not made smoothly - at some point, the signal prompt had completely disappeared, and their connection with the system was cut off.

"Do you think Shaffley will not do any preparations?" Alexander pointed to the nearby wall, "The disinfection and early warning systems have also been destroyed long ago, and this place has become an isolated island."

"Then we won't be able to get out?" Song Yin was shocked, "Will be trapped here to death?"

Alexander smiled at him: "That's not the case. After all, there is no impenetrable wall in the world. Even if Shaffley can't come back, I believe that with your strength, even the wall of sighs can be broken through."

Since you can't get in touch with the system for the time being, you can only rely on yourself to solve the dilemma.

Qi Zhengnan walked to the pool and looked at the two people lying on their backs in the ayahuasca: "Shafele brought the assistant officer into his consciousness? The assistant officer's consciousness is so huge that he can't even enter the copy of the nightmare. How did you do it?"

"It's very simple, break away." Alexander gave a very popular vocabulary in the world: "Cut off the connection between the assistant officer and the system, seal their omniscient memory, and the remaining part is even more powerful than ordinary people's." Consciousness is even smaller.”

It is obviously a very mysterious process, but under Alexander's understatement, it reminded Song Yin of sterilizing cats and dogs: "...is it so simple?"

"It's so simple that it's beyond your imagination. The consciousness of each assistant officer is like a partition in a computer, well-ordered. As long as they want to, they can close part of it at any time, just like locking the door of memory. Hiding in the ocean Every one of the group of aides has been separated." Alexander shrugged his shoulders, "The effect is very stable."

This reminded Song Yin - not long ago, in order to hide his use of ayahuasca from the system, Ergou took the initiative to close the seamless communication with the system.

They were talking, and Mithril squatted down by the pool.Looking at that posture, it looks like he is going to jump into the pool.

"Do you know what you're doing?" Qi Zhengnan grabbed his arm with quick eyes.

"I know." Mithril nodded: "I want to enter Shaffley's consciousness and find him."

"But what if we find it?" Alexander sighed.

Mithril did not reply.With a neat cartwheel, he jumped into the pool covered with ayahuasca flowers, waded a few steps to the two identical sleepers, lay down beside one of them without hesitation, and also fell into unconsciousness. In lethargy.

The poolside was quiet again, but the atmosphere of tension and anxiety did not abate at all.

Song Yin lay on the edge of the pool and observed the situation of the three people in the pool.Worried that he would slip into the pool, Qi Zhengnan stood by his side every step of the way.

"If you look at it this way, you can't see why."

Alexander took the initiative to speak, and at the same time pointed to the swimming pool: "Look over there."

As soon as the words fell, the water surface of the swimming pool turned into a water mirror, and some unusual pictures gradually appeared.

"This is..." Song Yin, who had personally experienced the magic of Ayahuasca, quickly realized that what Mithril saw on the water surface should be what Mithril saw in Shaffley's consciousness.

It was almost the same as Song Yin's previous experience - Mithril also "woke up" in the pool, and also saw those ayahuasca flying into the air.

But Shaffley and the assistant officer who were lying next to Mithril disappeared.

"They've already taken a step ahead, if they don't hurry up to catch up, it will be really too late." Alexander said softly.

In the water mirror, thousands of ayahuasca float over the swimming pool, like a large school of black fish.Below the school of fish, in the swimming pool and in the leisure area beside it, many figures appeared out of nowhere.There are men and women, a joyful frolicking.

"...Is that Shaffley?" Song Yin pointed to the reclining chair in the distance. There was indeed a man who looked exactly like Shaffley surrounded by beauties.But looking at his clothes, he was not the Shaffery he is today.

In any case, Mithril has already walked over quickly and reached out to touch it.But the fingertips passed through the man on the recliner, as if touching a cloud of air.

"...that's Shaffley's memory." Song Yin had already understood, "The real Lao Sha is not here."

As expected of an experienced executive, Mithril quickly understood this, and then realized the function of the group of ayahuasca flowers above his head, and began to follow these black trends.

After leaving the swimming pool, the rest of the mansion became lively as well.All kinds of phantoms in Shaffley's memory are everywhere - teammates of the team, all kinds of partners with relationships, beautiful women who are having fun... All of these reproduce Shaffley's life in purgatory .

Mithril turned a blind eye to all of this in order to catch up with Xaffrey, who had already gone far.He walked faster and faster, and in a blink of an eye he passed through the corridor and went up to the second floor.

The second floor of the mansion is the place where Shaffley and his assistants live daily. Few people are allowed to enter here, but they are not unfamiliar to Mithril.On both sides of the long wooden-floored corridor, the doors of the neatly arranged rooms are usually closed, but at this moment, the doors are all open without exception.

Through Mithril's perspective, Song Yin saw that a memory belonging to Shaffley was being staged in every room.Some are alone at their desks to handle affairs; some tell stories about the world for the "young" assistant officer; some sit in a room with no lights on and can only see the cigarette butts on the table and the light of the mobile phone screen in their hands.

Then, in a spacious room that looked like a bedroom, Song Yin saw the scene that made him blush and heartbeat -- two naked figures were entangled with each other on a very comfortable high-end big bed.Although the distance was too far and the interference of the water waves made it difficult to see clearly, he believed that the long-haired figure hugging Shaffley was none other than Mithril.

Mithril stayed in front of this door for a while, and soon took another step.He followed the ayahuasca and ran in the long, dark corridor, and in a blink of an eye, he came to the tall black wooden door at the end.

Mithril recognized this door.There have been many nights when he stayed in the mansion overnight, but when he was preoccupied, he would sneak into the corridor and pace quietly.That's when he discovered the door that couldn't be opened.

At that time, he was still a doomed person who tried everything for money. He once wondered whether there were some precious and valuable things stored in the door, or some ulterior secrets of Tsavorite.

And now, the black door was open to him.And the world inside the door turned out to be the mirror image of the mansion he was in.

The black ayahuasca flowers are continuously passing through the gate and entering the mirror world.Mithril didn't hesitate at all, and even accelerated its pace.

The process of passing through the wooden door was extremely smooth, without any sense of time and space switching.What appeared in front of Mithril was still the long wooden floor and the neatly arranged open doors.

But the scene presented inside those doors is no longer Shaffery's life in purgatory.

Through Mithril's perspective, Song Yin quickly saw the picture behind the first door——

The space behind the door is not a room, but a courtyard.Surrounded by high walls on three sides, there is a mottled white "hill" stacked on the ground, and it is not clear what it is.

Before Song Yin understood the meaning of this scene, he suddenly saw a white shadow falling vertically in midair, and fell heavily on the "hill".He took a closer look—it turned out to be a little white dog.

The dog fell from a high place, twitching continuously, and bright red blood gushed out from under the dog's body.The puppy stopped struggling very quickly, and its small body quickly rotted, maggoted, and turned into a pile of white bones and fur, and then disappeared completely.But within a few seconds, another identical white dog fell from a height.

Mithril was also obviously shocked by this scene, so he poked his head into the door to observe—it turned out that there was a balcony above the high wall, and a woman who couldn't see her face was throwing a white dog downstairs.

Beside her, stood a six or seven-year-old boy, clearly the appearance of the assistant officer Shaffley that Song Yin had seen for the first time before.

No, he quickly corrected this point of view - this child should be Shaffley when he was a child.

The water mirror couldn't transmit sound, but Song Yin could clearly see the tear-stained face of the young Shaffley.

After so many years, even if his beloved is about to leave, Shaffley has never shown such a straightforward and thorough expression again.

After confirming that the person he was looking for was not here, Mithril immediately walked to the next room.

Behind the new door is a crimson study room with translucent floor-to-ceiling glass windows.Outside the window is a lively playground where countless children can be seen playing.

However, the young Shaffley was locked firmly by the desk by a chain.There are stacks of books on the desk.

What's even more incredible is that the walls of the study are covered with pairs of eyes and red lips, monitoring his every move.As soon as he stopped what he was doing, or turned his head to look at the scenery outside the window, blood and tears would flow from those eyes, quickly flooding the floor of the study.And judging from Mithril's movements and expressions, those red lips would also make unbearable noises.

Immediately afterwards, more rooms appeared in the water mirror one by one following Mithril's footsteps.Every room is a miniature version of hell.

The protagonists in these rooms are often Tsavorite himself of all ages.Occasionally there are other people with whom he has a close connection in reality.

Even with just a quick glance most of the time, Song Yin can roughly understand that Shaffley was born in a wealthy family, but his original identity was the illegitimate child of his lover.He was strictly controlled and educated by his mother as a bargaining chip since he was a child.

When he was six years old, Regal divorced on the pretext that his first wife did not give birth to a boy, and took Shafley home to recognize his ancestors.But it didn't give Shaffley's mother the title she wanted.

Since then, Shaffley has become the hub of the competition for the interests of the other side - a fickle and elusive father, a mother who is concerned about gains and losses and full of control, deliberately close to outsiders who cater to him, and even extremely dissatisfied with his existence relatives, offspring of his father's other lovers...

Even if it was just a quick glance in front of these open doors, the chill of walking on thin ice was transmitted all the way through the water mirror, making Song Yin feel suffocated.

The author has something to say: Shaffley made his own choice and will accept the punishment brought by this choice

The so-called willing to gamble and admit defeat...
