Chapter 151: The Swindlers' Date Time
It’s over... It’s all over. Will this paranoid guy be chopped into pieces by the big brother and fed to pigs?
Please, you shouldn't have mentioned paranoia when you first came to see Gastro...

Ke Mingye took a deep breath and was greatly shocked.

He was almost frightened to death by this bizarre scene, so he had no intention of communicating with Gastro who was sitting across the table from him. He was putting the cart before the horse.

At this moment, Gastro was also like him, secretly observing the other people present - the trick puppet observed Pian Juan with his peripheral vision, and Gastro observed Ke Yinzhi with his peripheral vision. Each of them had someone they cared about.

But the next moment, as Pian Juan and Ke Yinzhi met eyes, the popular funeral song "Flower of Hope" rang in Ke Mingye's mind.

He prayed silently in his heart, hoping that Bian would die cleanly, and it would be best if his elder brother did not leave him with a complete body. This way, the Control Bureau would not find out any key information, so that he and Cai Bing would not suffer together.

However, after meeting the paranoid gaze, Ke Yinzhi quickly retracted his gaze and asked Cai Bing seriously: "Speaking of which... in this situation, what should I do to be more in line with the reaction of a normal person?"

Cai Bing let go of the straw and asked in confusion: "Huh? I don't understand what you mean."

"That is, how would an ordinary person react when he finds out that his date is being pestered by a pervert?"

Ke Yinzhi tilted his head, his earrings swaying gently. He had no expression on his face and spoke slowly and calmly, "Should I get up from my chair angrily, walk over and beat him up, and then say, 'Don't bother her anymore'?" He paused for a moment, "Or... should I politely ask him to leave and show my good manners, so that I can leave a better impression on you?"

Hearing this, Cai Bing sighed softly and thought to himself, "Brother, stop pretending to be innocent. I won't fall for it."

She said: "You've been watching too many soap operas. The plots are so cliché."

"I should have reminded you that I don't have much experience in communicating with the opposite sex." Ke Yinzhi smiled.

Yes, yes, yes... I have no experience in communicating with the opposite sex, but was chased to China by a magical girl from Denmark. Cai Bing watched this guy act and complained in his heart.

She held her chin with her hand and said calmly, "I can see it."

Ke Yinzhi glanced at Paranoia, stretched out his bony hand, closed the menu on the table and asked, "Do you really not need me to do something to make him leave?"

"Don't worry about him." Cai Bing supported his chin with his hand and curled his lips.

"Ok."

Ke Yinzhi turned his gaze away from the paranoia and shrugged. He handed the menu to the waiter and asked Cai Bing casually, "Then let's go to another place?"

Cai Bing took a sip of lemonade, put down the glass, and said nonchalantly, "No need. He doesn't look like he would drink coffee. He will leave soon if he sees that I am ignoring him."

"That's good." Ke Yinzhi teased, "You said I attract people's attention, but you are actually quite attractive... Isn't there a suitor who has been obsessed with you since high school?"

Cai Bing said coldly: "I told you that his mind is not normal. We cannot evaluate his behavior with ordinary people's thinking."

She changed the subject very naturally, "Compared to this... I'm actually quite surprised that a workaholic like you would actually keep the appointment."

"I don't quite understand. Since you're surprised... then why did you stand me up yesterday?" Ke Yinzhi asked.

"Because I didn't think you would come."

"Why, does my character look so bad?"

"Intuition." Cai Bing had a blank expression. "So when I saw you text me saying that you went to the appointment yesterday but didn't see me, I was quite surprised and a little touched."

"Actually, I just think..." Ke Yinzhi said, holding up his chin, staring at the table with clear eyes, "In addition to work, you should occasionally have your own life, right?"

"You don't have any family?"

"Have."

Ke Yinzhi sighed, his tone a little depressed, "It's just that they often dislike me, which is a headache, and then I wonder if I shouldn't focus on family besides work. They may also want me to do other things."

"So... I'm just a tool for you to use to deal with your family?"

Ke Yinzhi chuckled and said, "Your logic is always so sharp. Let's not talk about the fact that I wouldn't do that. But if I really want to find such a 'tool', I wouldn't look for someone of the opposite sex who is as troublesome as you."

"I don't understand, is this a compliment... or an insult?"

Cai Bing looked up at him from the phone screen and asked casually.

"All."

Ke Yinzhi took a sip of lemonade, raised his clear eyes from the glass and smiled at her.

"Hehe...so I'm quite curious about what your family members say about you." Cai Bing asked.

"Uh... neurotic, bad personality, bad memory, stealing pandas?"

Ke Yinzhi thought about it and gave some examples, then raised the corners of his mouth helplessly.

"Stealing pandas?"

"There was a rumor at school that I stole the panda named Kraft. Isn't that ridiculous?"

Ke Yinzhi shrugged as he spoke, with a self-deprecating tone in his voice.

"That's pretty cute. If you really told me that you stole a panda, I would have to look at you in a new light." Cai Bing paused, "But for people to believe such a rumor, you must have been a bit of a weirdo in the eyes of others when you were in school."

Ke Yinzhi sighed: "How is it possible... I'm just an ordinary person, I can't do that kind of thing."

"I'll just believe you for now...but your family members are right to say that you're neurotic."

After saying that, Cai Bing took a sip of lemonade, and then a chat panel suddenly popped up in his eyes.

[Paranoia: I understand. Is drinking water a hint? Does it mean “take action”? ]

[Cai Bing: Go away. I've already cleaned up your mess, why don't you leave quickly? I really want to die here. ]

[Paranoia: Haha, according to the observation of the great paranoid detective, hacker girl, you are very likely to rebel... You actually had an affair with the evildoer of the Control Bureau, and you were so close to him.]

[Paranoia: I will report to the Dog-Headed Military Advisor when I come back... I'm sorry, hacker girl, you are done for. Lord Paranoia is going to kill you for the sake of justice.]

【Cai Bing: Idiot, there is nothing to say to you. 】

When Cai Bing came to his senses again, a private chat panel popped up in front of him.

[Failed Man: Hacker girl, I don't have any friends with Paranoid. Please use the panel to tell Paranoid to add Gastro as a friend. I want to confirm whether the person sitting here is her or a puppet she controls.]

【Cai Bing: Oh.】

Cai Bing sighed upon hearing this and sent a message to Pianqi.

[Cai Bing: Spider-Man wants you to add Gastro as his friend, the woman sitting opposite him, hurry up.]

[Paranormal: I can't send a friend request. They say the distance is too far. Do you want me to sit closer?] [Cai Bing: No, the distance is close enough, which means she is a fake.]

[Paranoia: Come to think of it... I can't seem to add Spider-Man as a friend, why? ]

【Cai Bing: That’s normal, he’s also a fake.】

[Paranoia: Oh my god, so these two fake guys are sitting there chatting? ]

[Cai Bing: Yes, one of them used mental skills to control ordinary people, and the other created a puppet. They are quite a match, aren't they? ]

[Paranoia: The paranoid man feels hurt. It turns out that Spider-Man has been using fakes to interact with the paranoid man. The paranoid man is broken. The paranoid man is going to commit suicide.]

【Cai Bing: Get lost, he also used fake goods to interact with us, you are the only one who is making a fuss.】

[Paranoia: The paranoid master feels that he is being excluded. The paranoid master is about to turn evil. ]

[Paranoia: Loneliness... is a kind of coldness, and I... have long been alone in the world. ]

【Cut Ice: Against the will of heaven.】

[Paranoia: Master Paranoia is gone... Don't miss him, loneliness is the king's fate.]

After sending this message, Paranoid stood up expressionlessly and walked away from the open-air cafe, leaving behind a desolate and sad back.

Before leaving, Pian Juan glanced at Ke Mingye deeply, with a barely perceptible bitter smile on his face, as if he was savoring the taste of betrayal. It seemed that... he was already intoxicated by his own tragic male god persona.

Seeing that the time bomb had finally gone away, Cai Bing breathed a sigh of relief and immediately sent a message to Ke Mingye.

[Cai Bing: It's confirmed, the person sitting opposite you is not Gastro. ]

【Failed Man: I guessed it. 】

[Failed Man: So what on earth are you trying to do? You can’t just want to date my brother. Your love brain is going crazy.]

[Cai Bing: I want to try to find a way to hack into the Control Bureau's database from him. The database of the Abnormal Control Bureau is much more than the national database. It contains the information of 90% of the superhuman criminals, superheroes, and Control Bureau executives... It can even know the internal structure of Anskaban Prison and the information of the top superhuman prisoners imprisoned in Anskaban Prison.]

[Cai Bing: So, if we can really hack into the Control Bureau, it will bring a lot of convenience to our future operations. At the same time, we can also prepare for the raid on Anskaban Prison in ten months, so that we won't rush in without knowing anything.]

[Failed Man: No buddy, this sounds too dangerous. ]

【Cut the ice: Fortune and wealth are found in danger. 】

[Failed Man: Don’t beg me. It will cost you your teammates’ lives and it won’t be worth it.]

The camera returns to Ke Mingye.

Gastro was silent for a while, as if he was observing Ke Yinzhi with his peripheral vision. After a moment, he turned his attention to the deception doll, moved slightly closer to him, and spoke in a low voice.

"It seems like our luck is really bad. We have to meet such a powerful person when we come out to meet someone, and he is from the Control Bureau."

"Yeah...bad luck."

Ke Mingye sighed and thought to himself that this was just bad luck. My luck was even worse. How could I survive if my whole family were big shots of this level?
Gastello said without hesitation: "You should be the 'failed man' in the discussion group, right?"

Ke Mingye nodded and said calmly: "Yes, they all call me Spider Man."

Gastro held the lemonade glass in both hands and stared up at him, "Okay, Spider-Man."

"This body is not yours." Ke Mingye said straight to the point, "I sent you a friend request, but there was no response, which means your real body is not nearby."

When Gastro heard this, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

She held up her chin with her fair hand, her lips curled up slightly, "Then let me be frank... This body is indeed not mine. It belongs to a stranger. I used my skills to control her body to meet you."

"Why?" Ke Mingye asked.

"It's simple. I don't trust you."

"If you don't trust us, then why do you want to meet? What do you want from us?"

Gastro replied: "It's very simple, because according to the clues I got from the prophecy, next to the white-haired vampire I'm looking for... there is a player hiding."

Hearing this, Ke Mingye was slightly startled and murmured softly.

"Player?"

"Yes, a player, but I'm not sure who that player is. I only know that there is a vampire next to him and they live in the same family."

Gastro said calmly.

"That is to say, in the player's family background, his family is a vampire?"

Ke Mingye was stunned for two seconds, with surprise in his tone.

Gastro asked: "Well, that's about it, and that vampire is very strong, probably at least a B-level strength... So speaking of this, do you have any clues?"

Hearing this, Ke Mingye pretended to think for a while and said, "If you insist on saying so... I think among the players we are currently interacting with, there is one whose whereabouts are very suspicious."

He paused and said very seriously: "This player never interacts with other players. He doesn't even add other players as friends... Even up to now, we haven't figured out his background. If there is anyone who might be hiding his family situation, it's only him."

Gastro raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "Who? The paranoid one just now?"

"No." Ke Mingye shook his head and said deeply, "This player's ID... is called 'Anti-Dog'."

As he spoke, he raised his eyes and met Gastro's gaze, "I think that Anti-Dog is most likely the player you are looking for; and the white-haired vampire you are looking for is also likely hiding in his home."

Gastro stared at the trickster puppet for a while, then slowly lowered his eyes and spoke thoughtfully.

"Anti-dog..."

She memorized the ID in her mind and raised her head again: "I see. Anyway, I will confirm the background of this player first. Thank you for your cooperation."

"You're welcome. I'm willing to cooperate with you, just because I also want to find out the details of the Anti-Dogs. Also, I hope that one day you can talk to me with your real body... instead of a puppet."

As he spoke, Ke Mingye took the lemonade handed to him by the waiter, raised the glass, and took a sip.

"Of course. I hope you didn't lie to me." Gastro smiled. "After all, we are all players. We should have the same stance. It shouldn't be that difficult to save the other person's life, right?"

"On this point alone, we are the same," said Ke Mingye.
