Chapter 147 The Dying Man
pain……

It hurts!

It's a sharp pain!!!
The whole body was like being thrown into a crusher, the flesh was torn into strips, the bones were crushed, and every nerve was rubbed and stretched again.

But compared to these, the loss of vitality is more terrifying!

Su Beixun could clearly feel his strength being drained away. His tense muscles became loose and limp, and his straight spine bent, unable to bear the weight of his body.

——He is aging rapidly!
This was the second time he reduced his misfortune to zero. In order to make Noah's Ark obey him, Su Beixun carried a weight that was enough to destroy him on his already scarred body.

Ten days!

This was what he had foreseen, the life he had left!

"enough."

Su Beixun jumped off the table without a care in the world, and a faint groan came from the bones in his ankle.

"Noah's Ark!"

"Master, your orders!"

The noisy electrical noise from the speakers reorganized into clear words, but unlike before, it sounded unusually respectful.

The middle-aged man opened his mouth wide with a dull look on his face.

"Old... Boss..."

He really wanted to ask Jiang Shouyi what he had done, but the intense feeling of suffocation still remained in his heart, and he stammered and dared not speak.

Su Beixun glanced at everyone present.

"Thank you all for your hard work. I will not break my promise regarding the bonus... Now, please leave."

The room became noisy again, with everyone whispering to each other. Those who had noticed something was wrong bowed and quickly left the room.

But the remaining few enthusiasts boldly asked: "Boss, can you let us study it?"

Su Beixun shook his head and refused.

So the rest of the people left disappointed.

He was suddenly the only one left in the room.

"Noah's Ark, monitor their electronic devices. If anyone tries to reveal your presence, tell me his name."

"As you command, Master! But... is that all? Do you not need me to stop you in advance?"

"It's okay. I don't intend to hide your existence from anyone... I'm doing this just to test your abilities."

"I understand!" Noah's Ark used 0 and 1 to form a smiling face, jumping on the computer screen: "I won't let you down."

It is very confident in its present self. After the reorganization, its performance has made a qualitative leap like an exponential explosion compared with before!

"Really? That's good."

Su Beixun smiled. He walked out of the room and closed the small shielded room behind him.

In an instant, the surging network swept across every inch of space, and was then accurately captured by Noah's Ark hidden in the mobile phone!

"If you are strong enough, then start spreading it to the whole world from now on!"

Then, following this invisible link, a shadow started from this point and began to spread wildly!
……

After finishing all this, Su Beixun glanced at the time.

It's one o'clock in the afternoon.

Realizing that it was past noon, he suddenly felt extremely hungry, as if there was a hole in his stomach. He was so weak that even the sunlight shining on his body made him feel dizzy.

【What a terrible body! 】

Su Beixun sighed lightly and walked into the office on the top floor, wanting to find some food to suppress his hunger, but when he opened the refrigerator, he could only see rows of alcohol.

"By the way... does drinking on an empty stomach have any effect on the body?"

He grumbled in dissatisfaction, took out the most expensive bottle, and took a sip directly from the bottle mouth. The cold wine slid down his throat into his acid reflux stomach, washing away the discomfort.

"Cough...cough..."

Su Beixun coughed a few times due to the aftereffects of the alcohol. He threw the bottle on the table and wiped the wine from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand.

【Forget it, let’s go home first. 】

After taking the elevator downstairs and once again carefully dealing with the secretary at the gate, Su Beixun asked the driver to drive him back to Jiang Shou's villa.

"Are you nervous, sir?"

The driver glanced at Jiang Shouyize's face through the rearview mirror.

Su Beixun raised his chin and looked at the scenery passing by the window without turning back: "Why do you say that?"

“It just feels that way.”

The driver laughed and said, "You remind me of my daughter who is about to take the college entrance examination. She has always had this expression recently..."

He said this with a gentle smile, but then he was startled: "Ah! Sorry! I spoke too much!"

"It's ok."

Su Beixun didn't care and still stared at the deserted shops outside the window.

【……nervous?】

He muttered to himself a few times, and suddenly felt that the driver's metaphor was just right. Now he was indeed like a student about to take an exam, full of anticipation, anxiety, and a hint of inexplicable regret.

He hated this feeling!

Seeing that the master's face became even gloomier, the driver thought it was his own problem and hurriedly spoke carefully in a personal tone.

"Master, don't worry. I believe that under your leadership, the current setback is only temporary, and the consortium will surely become more prosperous!"

Do you think I'm worried about the consortium?
Su Beixun glanced at him and did not correct his distorted understanding. He just nodded and said "hmm".

The atmosphere in the car made the driver more and more uncomfortable. He could only remain silent and try to make the car more stable.

Finally, Jiang Shoujia arrived.

The driver breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Beixun got out of the car, opened the door, and asked the maid waiting there to go to the kitchen to make him something to eat.

"What would you like to eat, sir?"

"The steak is ready. Please send it to Xiao Huang's room when it's done. Please hurry up."

As he spoke, he walked up the stairs and tugged at his tight collar, feeling that today's disguise didn't seem to have the right amount of padding and was a little too bulky.

Walking up to the second floor, Su Beixun knocked on Jiang Shouhuang's door.

No response, of course. He turned the doorknob again, and as expected, it was locked from the inside.

"Really..."

He scratched his hair, turned his wrist and clamped a thin card, inserted it into the crack of the door and pried the lock open. Fortunately, because he trusted the security outside, the door lock inside the villa did not have a special design.

In the dim room with closed curtains, Su Beixun turned on the light and looked at Jiang Shouhuang who was sitting on the bed.

"Strange." He raised his eyebrows: "I thought you would hide in the closet or under the bed out of fear."

The little fat boy was still wearing his plain white pajamas. He raised his head and forced himself to look into those eyes without flinching. "What do you want to do with me? Are you going to teach me those strange principles again?"

"……Do not."

Su Beixun walked towards the bed.

"You don't need these anymore."

He squatted down, and carefully identified the pair of dark pupils from a distance of less than ten centimeters: "It seems that you experienced an interesting story in Osaka Castle while I was away."

Interesting?
That's really fun!

Jiang Shouhuang didn't know what expression to make, he just pulled the corner of his mouth and said: "The gun you gave me... was taken away by the police."

"It's okay, I'll give you another one."

Su Beixun smiled indifferently.

He stood up, stretched out his palm to press the back of his neck, and suddenly, with a hissing sound of air flow, his swollen body collapsed instantly.

"Well, much more comfortable."

Twisting his neck, he threw away the deflated airbag and the bulky suit jacket, fell down on the soft bed, turned over, and tore off the human skin mask on his face with a "swish".

Seeing him like this, the fat boy was about to get up from the bed, but a hand suddenly grabbed his collar from behind and threw him next to Su Beixun.

"Ahem...what are you doing?!"

Jiang Shouhuang covered his throat which was sore from being strangled and coughed dryly a few times in pain.

Su Beixun turned sideways, grabbed his soft cheek and pulled it away, raised his head and said, "I don't know... It may be the influence of my childhood. When I see a chubby kid like you, I always can't help but want to bully you." The little fat boy slapped his hand away, turned over and climbed up from the bed.

"Are you leaving?" Su Beixun lay down again, looking at the white halo above his head and asked softly.

Jiang Shouhuang didn't answer, and turned the handle with a click. But... just as he opened the door with a creak, he heard these words.

"I'm dying."

"……Oh."

The fat boy who was walking out paused for a second, and then he walked out of the room as if he hadn't heard anything.

The wooden door closed with a bang.

Jiang Shouhuang did not walk far in the bright corridor. He stood barefoot on the wooden board and looked at the lawn below through the window.

Green is the most vibrant color, but he still can't get excited. Of course, this is not melancholy.

My father died at his hands, my grandfather and mother were also implicated by him, and he did something to me... It is impossible for Jiang Shouhuang to be so heartless as to be sad about the death of such a person.

only……

He still inevitably developed a sense of loneliness... After all, if Su Beixun really died, then there would be no one left in the world who was connected to him by blood.

In a trance, the little fat man suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself.

"Damn it! How could I still have such a cowardly thought?!"

……

Behind the door.

Su Beixun had no idea of ​​the complicated heart outside the door. He supported himself on the bed with his elbows, raised his whole body, and then took out his cell phone from the pocket of his coat next to him.

"Master, do you need my help?"

Noah's Ark on the screen displayed a big smiley face symbol.

Su Beixun just opened the call page, pressed his fingers, and smoothly entered a string of numbers before answering it: "No need, there is no phone number for him in the address book, I have to come myself."

"...Master, you underestimate me! As long as you tell me his name, I can find his phone and let you talk."

is it?

Su Beixun wanted to try it out, but his phone was already connected.

"Hello, is that you, sir?"

There was a middle-aged male voice on the other end of the phone. His voice sounded weathered but his tone was bright.

"Long time no see, Xincheng." Su Beixun greeted him and said, "The agreed time is almost here, you should prepare yourself."

After hearing this, there was silence on the other end of the phone.

Su Beixun narrowed his eyes: "Is there any problem?"

"Ah, no...it's just..." Shinjo hesitated and said, "Haven't you read the latest newspapers in Tokyo?"

"I went to Osaka a few days ago... What happened?"

"Ah! That's right." Xincheng explained, "Not long ago, taking advantage of the anthrax outbreak, I set a trap and killed that man in the sushi restaurant."

"so what?"

"So... I don't need your help anymore... I'm so sorry!"

There was silence between the two.

After a long time, Su Beixun smiled gently and said, "It doesn't matter, no matter what method you use, as long as you achieve your wish."

"Yes...thank you for your help before!"

After chatting for a few more words, the phone was hung up.

Su Beixun's eyes suddenly became dangerous.

"Noah's Ark."

"Yes, Master!"

"Monitor the movements of that person just now."

"Yes, I understand!"

Su Beixun smiled coldly.

[Heh, my help can't be denied so easily. ]

He went back to the call page, lost the mood and threw away the idea of ​​playing, and started to enter different numbers one by one.

time flies.

Just when he hung up the sixth call, there was a knock on Jiang Shouhuang's door.

The maid called out, "Master, are you in there? The food you requested is ready."

Su Beixun was about to take it, but suddenly remembered that he had already taken off his disguise, so he said loudly: "Just leave it at the door."

"Yes, sir."

There was a sudden noise outside the door.

When the sounds died down, he opened the door and picked up the food from the cart.

"Huh? Why are you standing here?"

The figure of the child outside came into view, and Su Beixun was a little surprised.

Jiang Shouhuang didn't say anything, he carefully looked at the face of his enemy in front of him. Because of the softer sunlight outside, he saw many details that he didn't notice in the house.

——The graying hair roots, the dull and sagging skin, and for some reason, the temperament that has become gloomy...

"Are you really going to die?"

"Yeah...you don't believe it?"

"Should I believe it? Not long ago, you were shot in the head in front of me."

"Haha, it's amazing that you remember it so clearly."

Su Beixun leaned against the door, put the plate in his hand back into the cart, and suddenly asked, "Xiao Huang, you still resent me, right?"

"…Isn't this natural?"

"Then how about you kill me in ten days?"

Jiang Shouhuang was silent for a long time after hearing this: "Is this pity?"

"No, I'm just giving you a chance to completely break away from the past and start a new life."

Su Beixun's eyes were very calm.

The little fat boy felt uncomfortable being stared at. He shook his body awkwardly: "...Why are you acting so weird today?"

"Strange... Haha, just think of it as a dying man, and his words are kind."

Su Beixun lowered his head and looked at his much thinner palm: "Just think of it as my last gift to you... Don't you want it?"

"……Do not want."

Jiang Shouhuang took a deep breath and said, "I hate everything you gave me, and I don't want to accept any arrangements from you anymore... If you want to die, just find a random place to die. It has nothing to do with me anyway."

"...Tsk, how dishonest."

Su Beixun suddenly bent down and put his face closer, grinning at the frightened little fat boy: "Well... since you don't want it, then I'll follow my original plan."

He straightened up, and a hint of anticipation suddenly appeared in his dark pupils.

Once upon a time, a long time ago, he once asked a girl in a dark alley, 'If killing me can save the world, will you do it?'

[I really want to see this scene soon, Ran...]

Seeing the face of the person in front of him slowly becoming crazy, the fat boy turned around and wanted to leave, but suddenly, a hand held his head tightly.

"Damn it, what are you going to do?"

The little fat man struggled, but was stopped by the other party's words.

"Want to learn disguise?"

Su Beixun pulled the corner of his mouth, his expression a little bad: "This is a gift from me to you, how about it, do you want it?"

Seeing Jiang Shouhuang's increasingly struggling look, he laughed as if his prank had succeeded. Without giving the other party a chance to choose, he simply grabbed the fat boy's collar and took him back to the room.

"I still have a little time. It's up to you how much I can learn."
