Chapter 186: Kanon's Strategy

(The pull ring: Password incorrect, activating protection mode.)

(A current passes through you.)

(Your body is charred.)

(You die.)

(The deduction ends!)

Gu Yi blinked his eyes and touched his chin, tracing back to the moment he touched the pull ring. He tried various passwords he could think of, such as "Born guilty" and "Everyone's equal," but to no avail.

"It's no use, guessing blindly won't get it right."

Gu Yi shook his head and gave up.

Until he fully gained Er Gou's trust, the secrets of the pull ring and T-091 would remain unknown. He sat on the ground, thinking for a while, and decided to go to the red-light district to find Er Gou and tell him the deal was off.

This was the best way to handle things so far.

In the real world.

The strategy team from Dragon Country sent a team to Lighthouse Country to assist, temporarily alleviating the phenomenon of weird invasion in their country, but the suicide and crime rates remained high.

Fortunately, the police system in Lighthouse Country was strong enough to stabilize the domestic situation temporarily.

As long as the weird forces in other countries were controlled, Lighthouse Country should not fall so quickly, and everyone could finally focus their attention on the live broadcast channels.

At this time, the three most-watched adventurers had just finished their work.

Gu Yi came to the dark street to collect cardboard boxes, looking like a scavenger.

"Is Gu Yi planning to make a fortune by selling scrap?"

"No, I guess Gu Yi's bed was stolen yesterday, and he wants to make a new one today."

"You guessed it right."

Gu Yi dragged the cardboard boxes into the street, built a bed in the corner of the wall, lay on it to close his eyes, and rested, regaining his mental strength. Everyone knew that once Gu Yi entered this state, he wouldn't get up if he didn't lie down for at least half an hour. So, everyone immediately switched channels, looking towards Dennis.

After work, Dennis went directly to the casino in the south of the city to wander around. He had earned more than a hundred years off his sentence today, but he didn't spend any money at the casino; he was just wandering around for no reason.

"So the Sakura guy just watches and doesn't play, huh?"

"Everyone in Sakura Country is a gambling dog."

"I'm just asking, isn't this guy from the Nordic countries?"

"His ancestry is from Sakura Country."

"Sakura Country does not want to take this blame. Our country is not all gambling dogs; he has changed his nationality long ago."

"Yes, yes, the men of Sakura Country are not gambling dogs, but the women are all social butterflies, right?"

Tie Zhu paused, somewhat embarrassedly touching the back of his head.

The other party had told him their real name, but he had kept his a secret.

"I'm sorry, I lied to you. My real name is Li Yu."

"Why did you hide your real name?"

"Don't you know?"

Kanon shook her head, simply saying, "I just arrived, to be honest, I don't understand things here."

Tie Zhu didn't notice the loophole in Kanon's words, instead kindly explained to her.

"If you tell others your real name, terrible things can happen. It's a superstition passed down through generations.

Except for one's family, you can't tell anyone your real name. Telling me your real name means you already consider me as your family."

"Oh, is that so?"

Kanon accidentally gained Tie Zhu's trust.

However, Kanon also kept something back, as she only told her first name, not her surname. If what Tie Zhu said about the superstition was true, Kanon wouldn't have to worry.

"Thank you for your trust." Tie Zhu extended his hand, involuntarily grabbing Kanon's hand, "I've never met such a good girl like you."

Kanon smiled, and inadvertently shivered when she touched the calluses on Tie Zhu's palm.

"What's wrong? Was I too... abrupt?"

Tie Zhu fearfully withdrew his hand.

"No." Kanon extended both hands, holding Tie Zhu's palm, "I'm just moved, I didn't expect you to also tell me your real name. Does this mean we are mutually attracted and in love?"

"Heh... hehe..." Tie Zhu blushed with a silly smile.

"How about we have some drinks?"

"Good, very good!"

Kanon raised her glass, continuously pouring drinks for Tie Zhu. Upon entering, Kanon had already checked the menu, initially ordering some cheap dishes. But as Tie Zhu got drunk, she began ordering expensive wines.

Moreover.

Kanon only drank beer but mixed beer, liquor, and wine for Tie Zhu, making him drunk faster.

After three rounds of drinks.

Tie Zhu was slurring his words, barely able to speak.

"Kanon... I love you..."

"My dear, I love you too."

Kanon sat next to Tie Zhu, whispering in his ear, and everyone thought they were a couple, so no one paid much attention.

"Can you speak a bit softly? You're scaring me with the way you talk."
