Chapter 161: Life Is So Beautiful
Translator: MrJ_ Editor: Zayn_
The thing that Wang Xue most wanted to know was who initiated the second murder game which led to her death. But what Dreadful Radio wanted was the item of obsession; it was an item and not the so-called information.
The difficulty of the task was lowered by a degree. Since the investigation until now, it was already very clear what the item of obsession was. It was that little note that started the second murder game.
“Did your senior leave behind the note?” Su Bai looked at Aroma as he asked.
Aroma revealed a rare solemn look and murmured, “Su Bai, why are you suddenly so concerned about this case? What is your motive?”
“It’s a long story. You wouldn’t help me if I did not tell you?” Su Bai asked.
“How could that be? We are friends.” Aroma lifted the strand of hair by her ear and said, “My senior, Red, also received a note when the murder game started. She had picked it up from the paper basket. The other party had changed the method of passing notes; it was no longer someone passing the notes face to face.”
“Of course they did not need to pass notes face to face.” Su Bai flicked the cigarette ash out the window. “As long as the initiator was one of the four girls, they actually completely controlled an effective note group. They could totally ignore those passers-by who were not really involved in the operations the first time. They focused on passing notes to those who participated and took action in the first game which was around ten people or even less. Then they gave off a feeling that the game had been continued and had the excitement of a hundred people who continued playing.
“This way, the workload had been lessened by a lot. If continued from the previous process, only a single person would be more than enough. Restart the game was simple; it only need one line:
“Wang Xue isn’t dead, the game continues.”
Su Bai threw the cigarette butt out and touched his chin. “This could prove one point. The person who initiated the second murder game was one of the four girls.”
“My senior’s things have always been kept sealed at my place, but it isn’t at the place you went to, but my own personal home. I’ll bring you over to get it. She told me many stories before she passed away. She even passed me her things for safekeeping.”
“That’s great.” Su Bai exhaled a long breath. The rays of task completion were right before his eyes.
Aroma gave the driver a different address and the driver nodded.
Soon after, the whole car feel into silence.
Aroma broke the silence. “Su Bai, are you feeling very pressured?”
Aroma was aware about Su Bai’s tendencies and desires for murder. The murder club was recently disbanded. It was one less exciting activity for the others, but it would have a huge impact on Su Bai.
“Nope, I’ve been quite happy recently.”
Yes, happy indeed. Really happy.
Based on Su Bai’s current personality and behavior, Dreadful Radio’s story world was the most suitable place he found to vent out.
Was there a place more suitable for a psychopath to exist than the story world which was bloody and full of slaughter?
Aroma sighed and looked at Su Bai. “After a period of time, follow me back to London. I have helped to arrange a hospital for you.”
When Su Bai heard about London, he remembered Sofia. That girl said she wanted to purchase his wand. He only had eight bullets left and was in dire need for story points. Perhaps he could ask Sofia to exchange some bullets to exchange for his wand. The wand could only be used as a torch for Su Bai, and the effects as a blunt weapon was the same as using the Hellfire Shotgun. The destructive force of the bullets of the Hellfire Shotgun was naturally stronger. Conducting a trade with Sofia was the best choice.
Other than that, Su Bai had the beads he retrieved from the female assassin in the last story world. It should be suitable for those who enhanced in metaphysics. These beads could also be exchanged for bullets.
Su Bai lacked the sense of security since he did not have enough bullets. Having two guns was equivalent to having one gun. The advantages of having enough bullets were obvious. Qin Yiming who owned the blood jade and personal abilities that were higher than Su Bai died full of regret under Su Bai’s continuous firing. It was enough to prove how great the effects of a super weapon were in a battle.
“Okay.” Su Bai simply replied and took out his phone. He thought of Fatty. Yes, this damn fatty almost caused his as well as Gyatso and the monk’s death. But thinking over and over again, Fatty was the most suitable to exchange the beads.
Things that happened in the past, Su Bai would remember in his heart. But everything still had to move forward. Who knows, if Fatty entered the same story world next time, Su Bai would not hesitate to fire at Fatty without bothering about the surrounding environment. Kill that damn fatty, then plan ahead.
This was the real world. Su Bai couldn’t be like Qin Yiming and give up on the reality task which could gain the favor of Dreadful Radio, just to vent his fury on someone who tricked him in story world as they were not were bounded by karma in the real world.
Aroma did not know what Su Bai thinking about. Su Bai’s straightforward answer had taken her by surprise. Since Su Bai had agreed, then everything was fine. She believed Su Bai’s sickness could be treated and cured. With the current advancement of medical treatments, there was rapid progress in the research of human mentality and psychology.
Just when Su Bai finished sending his inquiry to Fatty on WeChat, the car arrived at a villa.
Aroma’s home was here. The Liu family was of red nobility; there was nothing much to say about their assets. The resources must be provided by some of the younger generation who had no ability to enter politics and entered commerce instead. The nation’s political and economy system had grown more mature and firm these few years. It was harder for second generations to rely on family to earn money from business. Given ten years ago, there really weren’t many younger generations who made a loss; it was only a matter of earning more or less.
“Don’t misunderstand, this is indeed my house, but I didn’t buy it. It was arranged by the country, I only have authority to stay but no qualifications to trade it. It’s not considered my personal asset.”
Aroma swiped the door card and pushed open the door. She then lead Su Bai in.
Su Bai chuckled. “You know I won’t mind this. If you are willing, I can even give you a few units.”
Aroma laughed. “Young Master Su, to be honest, there are not many who are richer than you in our circles.”
“My mom and dad passed away early; they only left me money.”
Su Bai was mocking himself. There were times when Su Bai himself didn’t know how much money he had. His own parents had foresight; they did not purposely groom Su Bai to be the successor of the few businesses they started up. This was also because Su Bai was much younger that time, but his parents had assigned a professional management system and were considered one of the earliest batches domestically. Large companies in the country still preferred family-based management.
Even if Su Bai’s parents passed away early and Su Bai did not bother about business, the family business was like a rolling snowball getting bigger and bigger. Su Bai at times wound wonder if his parents knew something was about to come up and purposely set up this business arrangement, worried that their only son would have no food on the table.
“Fine, you’re a nouveau riche. I’ll ask when I need it.” Aroma walked into her study. There was a safe inside. She opened the lock and pulled open the safe. She took out a rosewood box.
“The note is in here. Here, for you.”
Aroma directly passed the box to Su Bai.
Su Bai’s phone rang just when he was about to reach out and receive the box. The caller ID indicated it was from Chu Zhao’s home. Chu Zhao’s home phone and hand phone were paired numbers, that’s why it could be seen in the caller ID. Chu Zhao was tied up in his home and his phone was taken away. With Lucky watching over, it was hard for Chu Zhao to escape.
This call could only be made by a person in Chu Zhao’s home. En, to be more precise, they couldn’t be considered a human anymore.
“Hello.” Su Bai received the rosewood box with one hand and answered the call with the other.
“It’s me.” It was Xiao Hui’s voice.
“I have found the item your aunt is looking for. I’m bringing it over to you immediately.” Su Bai said.
“There no need to. I’ve let it go, I’ve let it go….”
Xiao Hui’s voice was getting weaker and weaker, giving off an emotionless feeling. It was like an old person who fulfilled his wish or obsession buried deep in his heart for years and lost his will to live and would pass away soon after.
Su Bai looked at the rosewood box in his hands. He was stunned. He immediately took up the phone and roared:
“F*ck, life is still so beautiful, you must stay strong and continue living!”
‘I haven’t passed the things to you and your soul is going to dissipate, the task that kept me tossing and turning would go to waste; many bullets were even wasted!’
“There’s no need, heh heh. There’s really no need…”
It was unknown what Wang Xue had experienced that ended up making her decide to just dissipate.
Su Bai inhaled a deep breath and looked at Aroma. Since Aroma was not considered an outsider, he immediately changed into another person and said fiercely:
“If you dare to let your soul dissipate before I come back, I will find ways to let your close relatives, your parents, the people in your home transform one by one into malicious spirits, never to be reincarnated!”
Aroma covered her own mouth.
Wang Xue at the other end of the receiver: “…”
