Chapter 362 Brainwashing the Stand-in
Chapter 362 Brainwashing the Stand-in
The mutants are so powerful because they were created through evil magic. Millions of lives were sacrificed and hundreds of thousands of corpses did not meet the requirements and had to be eliminated. The huge underground refining site would dump the eliminated corpses back to the ground along the natural environment of the earth's crust. Fortunately, there are only a few corpse dumping sites, and one of them is the coal mine. Since hundreds of years ago, there have been generations of corpse collectors who have been guarding various places to discover and find corpses and destroy them.
Shen Wen realized this from the confession of the young foreman.
He recalled the day when he lost Xiao Quanzi in the moat and inexplicably appeared in a coal mine, where he was rescued by the coal mine workers.
His eyes were filled with fear, and the more he thought about it, the more terrified he became.
What if the endless sea of placenta corpses in the dream really exists?
Shen Wen didn't dare to think about it anymore.
He touched his face, collected his thoughts, looked up at the shining earth and said, "I heard you say before that you were going to some underground place to fight mutants? So you went into that underground place?"
Pu Zhao said: "We are not sure whether it is underground or not, but it is different from the place where all the humans exist here."
Shen Wen said: "What does that place look like?"
Pu Zhao said: "Humans cannot enter, let alone survive there."
Shen Wen said, "Didn't they say Chu Yanqiu went in with you? He's not a human? How could he go in?"
Pu Zhao said, "He is very strange, different from you ordinary people. I have never seen you humans as powerful as him. He is unnatural, probably a kind of mutant."
Shen Wen became more and more annoyed as he listened, and he held his chin with one hand.
Puzhao Dadi knocked out both the foreman and the worker and sent them out quietly.
As soon as the two of them left, the stand-in Jesse secretly opened the door and came in.
When Shen Wen saw that it was him, he asked, "Why did you sneak into this yard?"
Shen Wen was a little nervous. If Chu Yanqiu followed him secretly, he would be exposed.
Jesse looked around Shen Wen and asked, "Who are you? Why do you know me, but I don't know you? Are you from that world too?"
Shen Wen touched his face and then he remembered that he was a ghost who had returned from a dead body and his appearance had changed.
Jesse said, "Why do you want me to stay with Chu Yanqiu? Are you related to the owner of that house, the so-called Marquis? Did the Marquis assign you a mission? To get you away from Chu Yanqiu for a while."
Shen Wen said: "I didn't expect you to know so much. If that's the case, what else do you know?"
Jesse was angry. He said, "Be honest. I was the one asking you the question, but you asked me the other way around? Answer my question first."
Shen Wen said: "This is not a task given to me by the Marquis. Your guess is too far-fetched."
Jesse said, "From your looks, you must have been a woman who was transformed. Let me tell you, there is no way I can listen to you and stay with Chu Yanqiu forever, because I was transformed from a man."
Shen Wen looked at his face which was 90% similar to his own and said, "Why aren't you doing well? I advise you to be obedient. Do you want Pu Zhao Da Di to capture you and throw you into the battlefield again?"
Jesse pointed at Shen Wen and said, "I knew you were from that world too. Let me ask you, who are you?"
Shen Wen knocked his finger away and said, "There are so many people who have fled from that battlefield. Even if I tell you who I am, do you really know me? I don't think this is necessary. Why don't we just pretend we just met?"
Jesse said, "Okay, don't worry about it. I came here to discuss this with you. I really can't stay with Chu Yanqiu."
Shen Wen asked: "Why?"
Jesse said awkwardly, "I... this man and woman have transformed into the same person, how can he not be exposed? I... if that lunatic asks me to play poker with him, won't he know everything?"
Shen Wen looked at Jesse's lower body and said, "That seems to be the case."
Jesse said, "You also know that Chu Yanqiu first met the real Shen Wen. The real Shen Wen played poker with Chu Yanqiu on the bed. I don't know how many times they played. What if...what if he has that kind of needs, wouldn't I be miserable?"
Shen Wen's face turned red with anger because of the poker he played with so many times.
I didn't want to pay attention to him for a long time.
Jesse said, "And that Chu Yanqiu has mental problems. He's like a psychopath. Do you understand? Just think about it... How does it feel for a normal person to be admitted to a mental hospital and live with a psychopath? That's not all. That lunatic is really crazy, he's extremely crazy. If he's unhappy, he'll really kill people. If an ordinary person like me is slapped by him lightly, won't I die?"
After Jesse finished speaking, he looked at Shen Wen, waiting for Shen Wen to speak, but Shen Wen remained silent for a long time. Just when Jesse was getting impatient, Shen Wen suddenly said, "I was a man before, and then I became a woman."
"what?"
Jesse opened his mouth wide. He was really upset this time. He turned around in circles and said impatiently, "This is terrible. You are also a transgender person. Then neither of us can accompany that killer. If he strips us naked, we will definitely be chopped to death."
Shen Wen said: "That's not the case, because the seventeenth son of the Shen family he was looking for was originally a man."
Jesse immediately quieted down when he heard this. He suddenly remembered what was going on. How could he have forgotten that the governess had mentioned this before? That was why they kept male transgenders like them. Otherwise, they would have kept only women who had undergone plastic surgery.
Shen Wen said: "So all the things you were worried about have been solved."
Jesse felt the feeling of falling off a cliff become even more profound.
Seeing how terrifying he was, Shen Wen patted Jesse on the shoulder and said, "Actually, he's not that scary. People are made of flesh and blood and have emotions. The reason why this Lord Chu didn't kill you the first time he saw you was because he couldn't bear to see your similar face. Also, I guess this Lord Chu might not be sure whether you are real or fake."
Jesse thought so.
Shen Wen continued, "Speaking of the real Mr. Shen Shiqi, I know more about him than you do. I can tell you how Mr. Shen Shiqi and Mr. Chu get along."
Jesse looked at him in confusion and said, "You know? How do you know? But I think it's not right to keep pretending like this. Sooner or later, I'll be killed by that killer. I think I'd better run away. You...your face is also fake. Now Lord Shen has gone crazy and sent people to kill all of us stand-ins. It's so damn unlucky. We can't stay here anymore. Two groups are chasing us. I think we should just run away to other countries to have fun."
Shen Wen said, "Are you sure you can live happily if you run away? Do you know how powerful this Lord Chu's family is? His surname is Ji, and all the countries on this continent are controlled by people with the surname Ji. Some say that they are dictatorial and authoritarian, and Lord Chu has an extraordinary status in the eyes of those people. I can't tell you too much about this, because too many inside stories are very long-winded. You can see that Lord Chu must have someone with a face like ours, jumping around beside him. You probably don't understand this kind of flirting. Lord Chu is not devoted to this Seventeenth Master Shen, he just feels fresh and different. He has a respectable lady on the high seat at home to serve him, and he feels that his life is complete only when he has a mistress like the Seventeenth Master Shen hanging around from time to time. Do you understand?"
Jesse held his finger in his mouth and thought for a while before saying, "That's right. I can tell at a glance that this Mr. Chu is a domineering and authoritarian man."
Shen Wen said: "I was a stand-in for a few days before, but later Mr. Shen Shiqi returned to Lord Chu, so I left secretly."
Jesse said, "That's the case. Tell me about it."
Shen Wen said, "You know that Mr. Shen Shiqi has changed a lot since he died once. Staying by Mr. Chu's side, he challenges his ancient legal understanding of wives and concubines every day, and rebels against him in various ways. So it is very suitable for a time traveler like us to play Mr. Shen Shiqi, so I was able to sneak around Mr. Chu without being discovered."
Jesse said, "So... I just need to be myself? I don't need to imitate anyone else?"
Shen Wen said: "That's right. I think your temperament is similar to that of the real Seventeenth Master Shen. Otherwise, the Lord Ruan inside would not have failed to recognize you."
Jesse nodded in thought.
Shen Wen said: "Lord Chu has been seriously injured many times. There is something wrong with his brain. I think he is just suspicious by nature. Go back and tell him directly that you are Mr. Shen Shiqi. Then you can tell him..."
Shen Wen literally taught this stand-in how to deal with Chu Yanqiu. He told him a lot of his past conversations with Chu Yanqiu and details of certain things, and then let him go back to continue serving Chu Yanqiu.
When Puzhao Dadi came back, he just saw Jesse sneaking out of the yard.
When Puzhao Dadi saw Shen Wen, he asked Jesse what he was doing there.
Shen Wen looked at the earth and said, "How much do you think that stand-in looks like me? What is the chance of being exposed?"
Dadi said, "He is a fake. Judging from the skeleton, you two have no similarities at all."
Shen Wen forgot that these two robots identify a person by looking at his bones. From the perspective of modern warfare, this is an accurate and quick way to identify criminals.
Pu Zhao said: "His appearance has been plastic surgery. Now from your human perspective, you are the same person, 90% similar."
Shen Wen had an idea after listening to this. He asked, "Are our words and actions similar?"
Pu Zhao nodded and said, "Similar. They walk and talk alike. To be honest, you are a man among women, and he is a sissy among men. From a psychological point of view, you are fearless and brave, and he is vicious and eager to win fame and fortune. He is an indestructible cockroach that can resist."
Shen Wen felt that Pu Zhao's analysis made some sense. He nodded, looked up and asked, "You said he was a serial number, so is this the criminal I caught before? Tell me his detailed information."
Dadi tilted his head in confusion, "It's been so long and you still haven't figured out who he is? Chief, you've regressed. Your talent for solving cases no longer exists."
Shen Wen really wanted to slap Dadi on the head, but he didn't dare, because Dadi's head was harder than iron. Slapping him would be like hitting his own hand with a hammer. Shen Wen felt very aggrieved.
Puzhao turned around and said to Dadi, "You are stupid. The number has been changed. It is difficult for humans to identify a criminal who has had plastic surgery." Then Puzhao repeated Jesse's information to Shen Wen.
