Chapter 212: Warm-up, A Small Trick

Chen Ran and Diwu Zeyi stepped into the second patient room.

Lying on the patient bed was a child about seven or eight years old. Looking at his skin color, he didn't seem like a little foreigner.

On the child's wrist...

He was wearing a black wristband!

[Name]: Luo Yuxuan.

[Diagnosis]: Heart.

In front of the patient bed was a young doctor. But it was very strange; logically speaking, this should be the patient room where the subway staff member took the doctor hostage.

But, they didn't see any trace of the subway staff member here.

"My dad is very confused..."

On the patient bed, the weak Luo Yuxuan pleaded with Chen Ran and the other.

The two widened their eyes...

'Not right!'

'In terms of time, the Heart Ward can summon the Hospital Director. In other words, the timeline of this patient room should be on the timeline of the [Effect].'

'Then, the child lying here should be the wealthy man's child.'

'After all, the subway staff member's child on the timeline of the [Effect] had already died on the subway long ago.'

'But, listening to Luo Yuxuan's tone, his dad should refer to the subway staff member.'

'Moreover, in the Second Chamber, a decryption that determined the inner heart like [Is the mountain first or the water first] had also appeared.'

'In other words...'

'The dad from Luo Yuxuan's mouth should be the subway staff member. Then, the timeline of this patient room is in the past's [Cause].'

'The problem to face next...'

'Change the plot?'

'Comply with the plot?'

'From the Secret Room just now, Charlie's illness was treated by means of decryption.'

'Then, this patient room should also be about treating Luo Yuxuan's heart disease.'

'Here comes the problem.'

'Is it material or ideal?'

'Material: Take back the heart.'

'Ideal: Let the subway staff member live well; this is Luo Yuxuan's wish.'

Suddenly, the two seemed to think of something.

They immediately pushed open the patient room door.

Outside the patient room, everything was very normal. There were nurses on duty, doctors doing rounds, and they even saw a scrawny doctor with [Hospital Director] written on his Chest Plate. This guy was baring his gold teeth, chatting and laughing with a little nurse.

The two ignored him, just simply memorizing his appearance. Then they rushed out of the Inpatient Department and arrived at the subway station. Because this stop was the hospital, there were quite a lot of people.

Chen Ran came before the ticket vending machine, felt his pockets and found no money. He simply followed the torrent of the crowd, evading the fare and squeezing onto the platform.

Catching a glimpse of Diwu Zeyi planning to operate this way as well, he shouted loudly, "Someone evaded the fare!"

Diwu Zeyi: "..."

His voice attracted the subway staff members, who stopped Diwu Zeyi.

Chen Ran, on the other hand, crouched his body and shuttled through the crowd. He found someone ahead walking while looking at their phone, and underneath the phone was a ticket.

So he pushed the person in front of him. The person in front bumped into the person looking at the phone. The phone and the ticket fell simultaneously. Chen Ran secretly took the opportunity to kick the phone not far away.

That person only focused on going to pick up the phone. Chen Ran then quickly picked up the ticket, stuffed it into his pocket, and pretended that nothing had happened.

It was about the same as he expected.

Not long after, Diwu Zeyi brought a staff member and came before him.

"Sir, I suspect you evaded the fare. Please show your ticket."

Chen Ran looked at Diwu Zeyi. The latter waved the ticket in his hand.

'Holy crap!'

'This guy's hand speed is even faster than mine. He stole a ticket before I even spoke up?'

"Reason?" Chen Ran frowned.

Seeing him look like this, the subway staff member's face instantly darkened, but he still pointed at Diwu Zeyi and said, "This gentleman reported you for fare evasion. Please immediately show your ticket!"

Chen Ran shifted his footsteps, listening to the sound of the subway about to arrive at the station by his ear, and also confirmed that this was indeed the return trip subway.

He spoke with righteous indignation: "I have a ticket in my pocket, but on what grounds should I show it?"

"Sir, please show your ticket. Do not obstruct our work!"

At this time, the subway had already arrived at the station, and the train doors had already opened. Chen Ran was still pestering the subway staff member unreasonably.

Right when the staff member was about to get hands-on.

He timed it perfectly and quickly squeezed into the subway car. The car doors also closed subsequently.

There were only two passengers in this car.

Chen Ran and Diwu Zeyi.

As soon as Chen Ran turned his head, he saw Diwu Zeyi pointing a Gun at him.

"You just said you had a ticket in your pocket. I'm very curious, where did your ticket come from?" Diwu Zeyi sneered.

Seeing that he was about to pull the trigger, suddenly Diwu Zeyi retracted the Gun, a dazzling smile hanging below a pair of deep eyes.

"This kind of trick, use it less in front of me in the future."

Obviously, he wouldn't be stupid enough to think that just because Chen Ran didn't show his ticket, he definitely didn't have a ticket in his pocket.

At the same time, Chen Ran's previous sentence [Someone evaded the fare], logically speaking, when he shouted this sentence, Diwu Zeyi should have already stolen a ticket and it would be Judged as a lie. But the one who evaded the fare was Chen Ran, therefore a lie did not exist.

Seeing this, Chen Ran drew his Gun, pointing the muzzle at Diwu Zeyi, and sneered, "I remember the subway staff member just said that you reported me for fare evasion?"

Diwu Zeyi shrugged his shoulders, fully exerting the attributes of a scumbag: neither denying nor explaining.

Right as Chen Ran was about to pull the trigger, he also suddenly retracted his Pistol. He wouldn't be stupid enough to think that Diwu Zeyi didn't Practice Avoidance of Lying when reporting, therefore he also gave up on Judgment.

Diwu Zeyi gave him a thumbs up.

The warm-up ended.

No one tricked anyone. As for this small interlude, neither of them took it to heart.

"If it weren't for our different stances, I feel we might have been friends."

Chen Ran nodded. "Actually, whether it is your thoughts or your Skills, they perfectly match my requirements for a teammate. But as you said, our stances are different."

It was indeed like this. Diwu Zeyi stealthily guided things, and just like that screwed Dorje and Long Hui to death in the Instance. This kind of King of Eking Out a Living attribute perfectly matched Chen Ran's ideal teammate.

As for Skills, there was even less need to say it; it was simply too suitable for the Chen Ran Party.

Chen Ran's Skill, after being used, could only let him compete in IQ with his opponent.

Qiu Yinong's Skill, after being used for the first time in an Instance, basically wouldn't dare to be used in other time periods.

In other words, the Skills of the two of them, from a certain perspective, having them and not having them made no difference. If they had an [Emperor Emerges from the Three Rivers] as a fallback, they would be invincible.

But, both knew that their different stances were an irreconcilable contradiction.

Diwu Zeyi wanted to grasp Qiu Yinong to claim credit from the First Floor Master to obtain his freedom.

If Chen Ran didn't want to lose Qiu Yinong, this teammate who drew fire, as well as have his own Skill exposed, he could only kill Diwu Zeyi.

Actually, as of now, whether Chen Ran's Skill was exposed or not made no difference. After all, they both had to face the sniping of the First Floor Master.

But, don't forget, there was also a Deceiver Alliance. Right now, only the Liar-Slayer Alliance was hunting him down. If his Skill was exposed, the Deceiver Alliance would also hunt him down. The World As One's Enemy.

The two fell silent.

Returning to the decryption.

Material, ideal. Looking at the entire plot, there was an intersection point.

That was...

The subway didn't delay any time during its journey. This way, Luo Yuxuan and his father could arrive at the hospital on time and have a chance of obtaining a heart. His father also wouldn't have to do all those subsequent things.

Therefore, Chen Ran and Diwu Zeyi had to rush to the platform of the electrocution.
