    Thud!


    ¡°Now, the court has officially announced that Li Zhuo¡¯s crime is manslaughter, and he is sentenced to five years in prison. The place of his sentence is Section S of Sargos Prison!¡±


    As the sound of the gavel hitting the table rang out, the judge wearing a white wig gave the final verdict.


    Li Zhuo¡¯s defense lawyer¡¯s face turned red. He stood up from his seat in excitement and protested, ¡°I object. I think this verdict is too hasty. There are still many suspicious points in the case. The defendant clearly¡­¡±


    ¡°Silence. Objection is invalid!¡±


    Before the lawyer could finish his sentence, the gavel hit the table in front of the judge again.


    ¡°Defense lawyer, please take note that the final verdict has been handed down! If you continue to make a racket here, I can sue you for disturbing the order of the court!¡±


    As the half-threat, half-warning words were spoken, the agitated lawyer finally calmed down. He sat back down on his chair, feeling weak.


    The whole process of the verdict seemed to have been planned in advance. Without any further hiccups, it all came to an end according to procedure.


    As for Li Zhuo, who was standing in the defendant¡¯s position, did not say a word throughout the entire process. He looked coldly at the farce in front of him that proclaimed to be ¡®justice¡¯.


    Li Zhuo had known all along. Someone had forcefully pinned the crime of manslaughter on him. However, he did not have any ability to resist.


    He was just a student who had just come of age. His parents had died in an accident when he was young.


    He had no one to rely on, so he could only silently accept the ¡®truth¡¯ of his manslaughter.


    In Li Zhuo¡¯s view, in the entire court, it seemed that the only righteous person was the lawyer who was willing to defend him for free.


    However, in this court, ¡®justice¡¯ seemed so insignificant and powerless.


    The lawyer adjusted his glasses, which were slightly slanted from his agitation agitated. He walked over dejectedly.


    However, two security guards beside the dock stopped the lawyer before he could get closer to Li Zhuo.


    The lawyer stopped in his tracks and looked at Li Zhuo helplessly from between the two security guards.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I really didn¡¯t expect things to turn out like this.¡±


    Li Zhuo frowned slightly when he heard this. Li Zhuo was already very touched that this lawyer was willing to defend him for free. He did not expect the lawyer to blame himself like this.


    Li Zhuo looked at the lawyer. ¡°Mr. Smith, you don¡¯t have to apologize.¡±


    ¡°I should be the one thanking you for being willing to defend me for free. As for serving five years¡­ at least they didn¡¯t end my life.¡±


    Li Zhuo was clearly the one who was was wrong, but now it was Li Zhuo who was comforting the lawyer. This scene seemed a little strange.


    However, Smith shook his head and revealed an extremely serious expression.


    ¡°I¡¯m not apologizing for the defense, but for the failure of the final objection.¡±


    Hearing this, Li Zhuo did not understand what Smith meant, and he revealed a puzzled look.


    However, in the next moment, Smith¡¯s expression changed from a seriousness to one of fear.


    ¡°Section S of Sargos Prison¡­ I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t be able to survive there.


    ¡°You¡¯re just an ordinary student, so it¡¯s normal that you don¡¯t know, but our industry has some understanding of the situation there.¡±


    ¡°That place is called¡­ the most dangerous prison in history!¡±


    The¡­ Most dangerous prison in history?


    The security personnel grabbed both of Li Zhuo¡¯s arms at the same time and brought him out of the courtroom.


    As this was not a public trial, there were no observers. When the jury and clerks left their seats, only Li Zhuo¡¯s defense lawyer, Mr. Smith, and the judge were left in the courtroom.


    The courtroom immediately fell into silence.


    Soon, the judge looked at Smith¡¯s back and nodded in satisfaction.


    ¡°Well done, Smith.¡±


    The two people who had been at loggerheads a moment ago were surprisingly harmonious now.


    Smith slowly turned around and adjusted his glasses with his index finger. He revealed a smug smile. ¡°Naturally, I will handle the matter that you have entrusted to me.¡±


    ¡°That silly boy probably thought that I was helping him.¡±


    ¡°I really don¡¯t know what kind of big shot that student offended to send him to Section S of Sargos Prison.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s not something you should be thinking about.¡± The judge¡¯s expression immediately returned to indifference, and the smug Smith became cautious.


    ¡°Have you said what I asked you to say to him?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ve done as you asked.¡±


    ¡­


    The sturdy prison bus escorted Li Zhuo through the bustling city and sent the young man to a remote location in the suburbs.


    After Li Zhuo got off the bus, he looked at the huge Sargos Prison in front of him without saying a word.


    This prison was even taller than he had imagined.


    Looking at the metal walls that were dozens of meters tall, the words ¡®steel fortress¡¯ came to in Li Zhuo¡¯s mind.


    As a student, he had no idea that there were prisons of this size in the world. However, he still remembered the words of Mr. Smith, the lawyer.


    It was called the most dangerous prison in history!

 Chapter 2

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    In the registration office near the entrance of the prison, a police officer was speaking to a man in a windbreaker.


    ¡°Hello, Warden Wilson. This is his information.¡±


    The police officer who escorted Li Zhuo here respectfully handed over a report. It was obviously Li Zhuo¡¯s information.


    After the man named Wilson received the report, he did not open it immediately. He did not put it on the table either. Instead, he held it in his hand and nodded at the police officer.


    ¡°Alright, your task has been completed. Leave the rest to us.¡±


    This was considered to be the completion of the handover.


    Before the police officer left, he secretly glanced at Li Zhuo. It was a look of sympathy.


    It was rumored that the prisoners in Section S of Sagos Prison were personally handled by the prison warden.


    Initially, everyone only treated this as an urban legend among the police officers. No one would take it seriously.


    After all, the title of ¡®the most dangerous prison in history¡¯ sounded too strange. However, now, it seemed to be confirmed.


    After the police officers left, Warden Wilson stood up from behind his desk and slowly walked to the door of the registration office. He locked the door from the inside.


    Throughout the whole process, Wilson¡¯s eyes never left Li Zhuo. His expression was extremely serious. This gaze made Li Zhuo feel a little uncomfortable.


    Compared to the sympathetic gaze of the police officer, this warden¡¯s gaze made Li Zhuo feel even more anxious.


    That was because this gaze seemed to carry a trace of¡­ caution.


    This made Li Zhuo very confused. Was this really the gaze that a warden should have when looking at a prisoner?


    When Wilson returned to his desk again, he shifted his gaze from Li Zhuo to the report in his hand. After Wilson flipped through the report, the only sound left in the office was the sound of flipping paper.


    This process lasted for more than ten minutes. Although the content of the information was very simple, Wilson still carefully read through the report word by word.


    In some places, he even read it several times.


    Gradually, Wilson¡¯s gaze turned from cautious to puzzled.


    He raised his eyelids, looked at Li Zhuo, and asked, ¡°name?¡±


    Li Zhuo knew that the only thing he could do now was to cooperate. ¡°Li Zhuo.¡±


    The next few questions came one after another.


    ¡°Age?¡±


    ¡°18 years old.¡±


    ¡°Occupation?¡±


    ¡°Student.¡±


    ¡°What crime did you commit?¡±


    ¡°¡­¡±


    Li Zhuo answered the first few questions quickly. However, when Li Zhuo heard the last question, he paused for a moment.


    He really wanted to say that he had been framed and that he had not committed the crime at all.


    However, he was very clear that he had no chance of turning the tables. In the end, he still answered this question softly. ¡°Manslaughter.¡±


    That short pause was his final struggle.


    Wilson did not continue asking questions. Instead, he looked at Li Zhuo and the documents in his hands, as if he was repeatedly confirming something.


    Li Zhuo could clearly feel that Wilson¡¯s gaze had changed again. It had changed from cautious to doubtful, and now it had changed from doubtful to vigilant.


    Li Zhuo did not take the initiative to speak. He just looked calmly at the warden in a windbreaker.


    After a moment, Wilson finally spoke again. ¡°Which¡­ which family are you from?¡±


    ¡°Family?¡± Li Zhuo was slightly stunned.


    Obviously, this warden seemed to have really misunderstood something!


    He hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he shook his head. ¡°I¡¯m not from any family. I¡¯m just an ordinary student.¡±


    In fact, Li Zhuo had also considered whether he should follow the warden¡¯s lead and try to create a more powerful identity for himself. This seemed to be able to make his prison life a little smoother.


    However, he still made a decision very quickly and told the truth. If his lie was discovered, the days that followed might turn into hell.


    After all, he would have to live in this prison for five years. The warden in the prison must be the most influential person here. It was obviously not a smart choice to try to deceive such a person when he had no confidence.


    Li Zhuo¡¯s words were very sincere. In his imagination, the warden¡¯s attitude would certainly become much more arrogant and indifferent. However, to his surprise, the warden unexpectedly revealed a look of understanding.


    That expression seemed to say, ¡®I understand¡¯.


    Immediately after, the warden carefully put away the report on Li Zhuo and returned to the office door.


    After opening the door lock, he turned around and smiled at Li Zhuo. ¡°Please follow me.¡±


    Hearing Wilson¡¯s words, Li Zhuo was completely confused about the current situation.


    ¡®Please¡¯?


    Would a prison warden really be so polite to a prisoner? What kind of person did this guy think he was?


    ¡°That¡­ I really didn¡¯t¡­¡±


    This was obviously a misunderstanding. Li Zhuo was very worried about how Wilson would treat him after he found out the truth.


    He really wanted to take the opportunity to explain clearly, but the slightly flattering smile on Wilson¡¯s face became even more intense.


    ¡°I understand. You¡¯re just an ordinary student. I¡¯ll keep it a secret.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡±


    You don¡¯t understand at all!!

 Chapter 3

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Wilson seemed to have seen the unnatural expression on Li Zhuo¡¯s face, and he subconsciously understood that expression as contempt.


    After all, as the warden, he had made obvious flattery toward a ¡®prisoner¡¯ in the prison.


    It was reasonable to be despised.


    Wilson reached out his hand to touch the brim of his hat in slight embarrassment and spoke in a somewhat embarrassed tone. ¡°I can¡¯t help it. I¡¯m just a small warden. Naturally, I don¡¯t want to offend a big shot like you.¡±


    ¡®A big shot like me?¡¯


    Li Zhuo was confused again.


    However, this time, he did not explain further. He could already see that no matter how he explained, the warden in front of him would not believe him.


    Moreover, this misunderstanding seemed to be very beneficial to him. Li Zhuo felt like he did not need to be too insistent.


    After following Wilson out of the office, the two of them walked in circles through one corridor after another. After meeting many prison guards and passing through many iron gates, the two of them arrived at the detention area.


    The corridor here was very, very long. At the top of the corridor, there would be an incandescent lamp emitting cold light at a certain distance to provide light for the corridor.


    ¡°This way, please,¡± Wilson whispered to Li Zhuo in a voice that only they could hear, and then he took the lead to walk forward. Li Zhuo followed silently behind him without saying a word.


    The long corridor was extremely quiet, and the footsteps of the two of them echoed in the corridor. As they walked forward, Li Zhuo gently turned his head to look at the walls on both sides.


    To be precise, the doors on both sides were ¡®integrated¡¯ with the walls. The doors seemed to be embedded in the walls, with no gaps at all.


    The reason why they could still be seen as doors was that there were handles and two small windows on the walls.


    One was on top, rectangular in shape. The other was on the bottom, square in shape.


    Wilson seemed to notice that Li Zhuo was looking at the doors, but he did not explain anything. Wilson was not in an office, and he had to maintain his dignity as the warden.


    After all, he would soon see the prisoners here.


    Sure enough. Just as Li Zhuo was looking at the ¡®doors¡¯ on both sides, a pair of eyes suddenly appeared at one of the rectangular windows. The pair of eyes looked extremely fierce, and they met Li Zhuo¡¯s gaze.


    The appearance of these eyes seemed to be a signal. Immediately after, pairs of eyes appeared at the windows of each door.


    These eyes stared fixedly at Li Zhuo, revealing the gaze of jackals looking at rabbits.


    After that, there was a series of ¡®pong pong¡¯ sounds. These wild beasts that were trapped in cages began to slam against the doors.


    The voices came from every room. Some of them were joking, some were excited, some were threatening, and some were threatening. They sent Li Zhuo a welcoming ceremony for the prison.


    ¡°Hahahaha, there¡¯s finally a newcomer!¡±


    ¡°This is going to be fun.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll be the first to discipline this newcomer!¡±


    ¡°How many days did the last guy last? Six days? Seven days? I wonder how long this kid can last. Hahahaha!¡±


    ¡°This kid looks so weak, but he actually came to this damn place. He¡¯s really unlucky.¡±


    When Li Zhuo heard these words, his expression became a little solemn.


    From these vicious prisoners, he could determine that this should be Section S of Sargos Prison.


    From what they said, it seemed that every prisoner who just entered would encounter a very terrible thing.


    No wonder it was called the most dangerous prison in history.


    Li Zhuo was deep in thought when he suddenly heard a daring prisoner make a joke about Wilson.


    ¡°Hey, Wilson, is this kid your relative? Why did you send him here? If he¡¯s not your relative, why don¡¯t you just let this kid enter my room right now? I won¡¯t be able to wait until tomorrow¡¯s yard time!¡±


    The moment these words left his mouth, many prisoners burst into laughter.


    Wilson, on the other hand, fiercely pulled out a baton from his waist and smashed it against the iron window.


    However, the prisoner seemed to be a ruthless character. After receiving such a warning, he did not show the slightest bit of fear. Instead, the smile on his face became even more intense.


    Wilson¡¯s expression became very ugly. He knew that these guys were all ruthless people who had rolled over from the tip of their knives. Naturally, this little thing would not be able to scare them.


    However, since Wilson was able to become the prison warden, he naturally knew how to deal with these ¡®beasts¡¯.


    Wilson sneered. ¡°Send him to your room? Can¡¯t wait until tomorrow?


    ¡°You really can¡¯t wait for him because he is a prisoner who is going to be locked up in Section S.¡±


    At this moment, the entire corridor became quiet.


    The sound of knocking on the door, the noise, and the loud laughter had all completely disappeared at this moment.


    Li Zhuo was also slightly stunned.


    What was the meaning of this? Could it be that this was not Section S?


    These prisoners were already so vicious and ruthless. Just how dangerous was the true Section S? Just how vicious would the prisoners there be?


    Li Zhuo¡¯s mood became flustered.


    Just as he was making wild guesses, the whispers of the prisoners had already spread out through the corridor.


    ¡°This kid is actually being locked up in Section S? What crime did he commit?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t ask around. I heard that the prisoners in Section S are all monsters! This kid¡­ This lord is definitely something else!¡±


    Hearing this, Li Zhuo¡¯s expression became even uglier.


    As expected, the prisoners in Section S were much more powerful than the ones here!


    At this moment, another discussion came from another cell.


    ¡°That¡¯s not right. Why did I hear that the prisoners who went to Section S were all secretly executed?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s what I heard too. After all, once they entered Section S, no one seemed to be able to see them a second time.¡±


    Li Zhuo was slightly stunned. Could it be that he was about to be killed?


    ¡°What you said isn¡¯t right either. Why did I hear that the guys who were locked up in Section S were all pulled to do human experiments?¡±


    ¡°I heard that all their organs would be cut off if they were locked up in Section S!¡±


    ¡°I heard that those who are locked up in Section S will become the slaves of big shots!¡±


    Li Zhuo was flabbergasted!


    Why did this sound stranger by the second?


    Obviously, this was not Section S. These prisoners did not seem to know what was going on in Section S either.


    Li Zhuo subconsciously glanced at Wilson, but he only saw the back of Wilson¡¯s head and the police cap on his head.


    Obviously, Wilson would not answer Zhuo Li¡¯s question.


    Zhuo Li did not need any answer, because he would soon witness it with his own eyes.


    The two of them passed through a corridor, passed through two metal doors that looked extremely sturdy, and came to the last metal door. Wilson¡¯s footsteps stopped, and Zhuo Li could not help but become nervous.


    Obviously, this was the real Section S.


    As Wilson performed an iris scan and unlocked the door with his fingerprint, the metal door let out a heavy ¡®ka ka¡¯ sound. Then, the door opened.


    A breeze blew through the door towards Li Zhuo, causing him to be stunned.


    Why was the wind salty?


    ¡°Yo, if it isn¡¯t Wilson?¡±


    ¡°Give me a glass of whiskey¡­ and add some ice..¡±

 Chapter 4

    At this moment, Li Zhuo was in a mess. He even wondered if he was hallucinating.


    The metal cage in his imagination did not appear. The evil spirit in his imagination did not appear. The truth was the complete opposite.


    A beach, seagulls, sunlight¡­


    What was even more ridiculous was that there were two people lying on the beach in front of them, sunbathing.


    Not far away, there were even four people playing beach volleyball!!


    How the f*ck did this look like a prison? It was clearly a resort!


    Just as Li Zhuo stood rooted to the ground in shock, the warden was already standing beside the two beach chairs.


    Li Zhuo did not even see where he took a bottle of whiskey and a bucket of ice.


    What was even more ridiculous was that he was actually pouring whiskey for the man lying on the beach chair!


    ¡®Aren¡¯t you the f*cking warden? Don¡¯t act like a waiter!!¡¯


    Li Zhuo really wanted to shout out, but he held it in and could only roar silently in his heart.


    After Wilson poured the whiskey, he quickly returned to Li Zhuo¡¯s side and became obsequious. There were no longer any ordinary prisoners here, so Wilson did not have to pretend to be cold.


    While bowing and nodding, he said to Li Zhuo, ¡°Mr. Li, are you satisfied with Section S?¡±


    ¡°¡­¡±


    At this moment, Li Zhuo was completely speechless. Or rather, he did not know what to say. All of this was far from what he had imagined!


    What did he mean by ¡®are you satisfied with Section S¡¯?


    Was this really what a prison warden should say!? Was he really here to go to jail!!


    Just as Li Zhuo was silently complaining in his heart, Wilson became a little nervous and awkward instead.


    Wilson rubbed his hands together and said with some restraint, ¡°you may be a little dissatisfied, but you don¡¯t have to worry, because what you¡¯re seeing now is only a small part of Section S.¡±


    Hearing this, Li Zhuo heaved a sigh of relief.


    As a prisoner who was about to be imprisoned in Section S for five years, it really was not appropriate for him to think this way. However, he could not help but feel that it was really strange for a prison to look like this.


    However, Wilson¡¯s next sentence made Li Zhuo realize that he was too naive.


    ¡°Please rest assured. Besides the seaside, Section S also has various entertainment facilities.¡±


    ¡°Video games, beverage room, Michelin three-star cafeteria, sauna massage. As long as you can think of it, Section S has everything.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡±


    Li Zhuo finally understood that his imagination was too poor. He originally thought that this was the so-called ¡®yard area¡¯, and that most of the time, everyone should have been locked in a cell.


    However, now he knew that he was wrong. He was completely wrong.


    Anyone would call this a resort!


    Seeing that Li Zhuo was silent again, Wilson was a little flustered. He repeatedly pondered in his heart whether there was something that he did not do well enough, but he really could not guess.


    Helpless, he could only say awkwardly, ¡°of course, if Mr. Li has any dissatisfaction with Section S, or if you have any needs, you can tell me.


    ¡°I will definitely help you do it well.¡±


    This time, Li Zhuo was completely sure. This was not only a resort, but the warden, Wilson, was also really a waiter!


    At most, he was just a waiter who was good at handling things.


    He held his forehead helplessly and waved his hand, indicating that he did not have any needs for the time being.


    Wilson finally breathed a sigh of relief and slowly retreated to the metal door.


    Throughout the entire process, he did not dare to expose his back to Li Zhuo. He only dared to face Li Zhuo. He bent his back as he walked out of the door.


    Before closing the door, Wilson still had a very ¡®professional¡¯ warm smile on his face as he said, ¡°Mr. Li, if you have any needs, you can call me at any time. There are communication devices all over Section S for you to use. I will definitely be on call.¡±


    After Wilson finished speaking, he even bowed deeply. He did not straighten his back until the metal door was completely closed.


    ¡°¡­¡±


    Looking at the metal door in front of him, Li Zhuo fell silent again.


    Although all of this was not a bad thing for Li Zhuo, he still could not accept it.


    He turned his head to look at both sides. Other than this metal door, the other walls were actually all painted in the fashion of a resort.


    ¡°So this place was designed according to a resort¡­¡±


    Li Zhuo stared at the huge ¡®mural¡¯ in front of him.


    ¡°Hey, newcomer. Aren¡¯t you going to come over and introduce yourself?¡±


    A voice came from behind Li Zhuo. It was the voice of the person who had asked Wilson for whiskey. Li Zhuo slowly turned his head and looked in the direction of the beach chair.


    He saw the man waving gently at Li Zhuo with a kind smile on his face.


    Li Zhuo hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he still walked over.


    Every step he took, the touch of his feet would remind Li Zhuo once more that there was real sand under his feet, and this was a real beach.


    Under such circumstances, it was difficult for Li Zhuo to judge the situation of the other people in Section S. Li Zhuo could only choose to cooperate with them first and then think about what to do next.


    After coming under the parasol, Li Zhuo finally saw the two people in front of him clearly.


    One of them looked to be a middle-aged man. He wore a pair of round-framed sunglasses and had a long ponytail. There was a very neat beard on his lips. It was not wide, but it was very flat.


    Lying on the chair next to him was a female prisoner. The black and white striped prison uniform on this woman¡¯s body did not hide the woman¡¯s figure at all.


    She was also wearing a pair of sunglasses, but her style was different from the man¡¯s round-framed sunglasses. Her sunglasses were pink with lace, and she even looked a little like a child.


    However, this woman¡¯s exquisite face still gave people a strong sense of charm. The presence of the sunglasses did not decrease her charm at all. It even added a sense of mystery.


    Li Zhuo looked at these two people and felt a wave of doubt in his heart.


    Could it be that Section S was a mixed prison for men and women? Why would there be women here?


    Just as this thought arose in Li Zhuo¡¯s heart, the corner of the woman¡¯s mouth curled up imperceptibly.


    ¡°Are you thinking about why there are women here?¡±


    Hearing this, Li Zhuo¡¯s entire body stiffened slightly. This woman had actually seen through his thoughts!


    Just as he was shocked, the man had already picked up the walkie-talkie on the small coffee table between the two of them. He pressed the call button and said, ¡°Wilson, send another beach chair over.¡±


    After saying this, he placed the walkie-talkie back on the coffee table. He took off his glasses and said with a smile, ¡°let me introduce myself. My name is Armstrong, and I¡¯m good at gambling.


    ¡°This old woman¡¯s name is Alsop, and she¡¯s a professional liar.¡±


    ¡°Then¡­. What about you?¡±

 Chapter 5

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    All the difficulties that Li Zhuo imagined he would face here did not come to pass.


    This made him slightly stunned. He did not expect the other party to be so direct and generous.


    Meanwhile, the woman by the name of Alsop raised her lace sunglasses and glared at Armstrong. ¡°You¡¯re the old woman!¡±


    However, after saying this, she also looked at Li Zhuo. It was obvious that they were very curious about this matter.


    Li Zhuo looked at the two of them and thought for a moment before choosing to tell the truth.


    ¡°Li Zhuo, five years, manslaughter.¡±


    He did not mention that he had been framed, but simply said his name, sentence, and crime.


    In fact, he had briefly considered again whether he should lie, but he quickly dismissed the idea.


    The two people in front of him, one was a gambler, the other a con artist. Both of them were very good at grasping people¡¯s minds. Lying in front of them was obviously not smart.


    After Li Zhuo had just answered, the metal door opened again. This time Wilson had brought a beach folding chair, and he was really fast.


    Li Zhuo could not help but think to himself, ¡®if Wilson went to the hotel as a waiter, he would definitely get a lot of tips.¡¯


    At this time, the corner of Alsop¡¯s mouth rose slightly again.


    Seeing this detail, the corner of Li Zhuo¡¯s eyes twitched twice. Could this woman see through his thoughts again?


    In Li Zhuo¡¯s view, although he did not know why Wilson would have that kind of misunderstanding about his identity, the two people in front of him obviously would not misunderstand.


    If they told Wilson the truth, Li Zhuo could not guarantee what he would have to face next. Now it seemed that it was important to maintain a good relationship with these two real criminals.


    Fortunately, this time, Alsop did not directly say what was on Li Zhuo¡¯s mind. Instead, she silently watched Wilson bow and leave somewhat cautiously.


    A moment later, the metal gate closed again.


    However, Li Zhuo did not relax at all, because he could sense that something was wrong.


    Just as Li Zhuo was secretly wondering what was wrong, Armstrong pointed at the beach chair with a smile and said, ¡°please sit.¡±


    Li Zhuo stood where he was and did not move. Instead, he silently looked at Armstrong and did not say anything.


    Then, he saw through it.


    Armstrong and Alsop looked at Li Zhuo with the same silent smile, as if waiting for something.


    Only the sound of sea breeze, waves, seagulls, and beach volleyball remained in the entire Section S.


    Not long after, Alsop suddenly called out softly, ¡°Arm.¡±


    Armstrong subconsciously turned his head, but what awaited him was Alsop¡¯s slender fingers.


    With a flick, Alsop suddenly flicked Armstrong¡¯s forehead with her fingers.


    In an instant, only the sound of the sea breeze, seagulls, and waves could be heard on the beach.


    The few people who were playing beach volleyball all looked over.


    This scene happened too suddenly, and Li Zhuo did not know how to react at all.


    What was going on? Were the two of them not on good terms?


    Armstrong¡¯s face was dark. He sat up straight from the beach chair, looking at Alsop and said in a deep voice, ¡°what are you doing?¡±


    ¡°He already knows.¡± Alsop spread her hands, looking completely indifferent.


    Armstrong said unwillingly, ¡°what makes you so sure that he knows?¡±


    ¡°I can tell.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡±


    After Alsop said that, there was a short silence. The four people who were playing beach volleyball burst into laughter.


    The stunned expression on Li Zhuo¡¯s face had completely disappeared.


    He had completely understood what had happened just now.


    Coincidentally, Armstrong turned to look at Li Zhuo and asked,


    ¡°Do you know?¡±


    This question sounded very puzzling, but Li Zhuo¡¯s expression was a little ugly as he slightly bent over and extended his right hand to the beach chair.


    The next moment, Li Zhuo grabbed the chair towel on the beach chair and lifted it in front of the two of them.


    Seeing this scene, Alsop revealed a victorious smile, and the four people who were playing beach volleyball laughed even more happily.


    Armstrong opened his mouth, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.


    Then, he laughed bitterly and asked helplessly, ¡°how did you find out that there was something wrong with this chair?¡±


    As a gambling master, he thought that he had never miscalculated in terms of people¡¯s hearts. He did not expect that he would actually lose to a swindler like Alsop this time.


    This was just a simple little game.


    They had long known that a newcomer would come to Section S, so Armstrong and Alssop made a bet to see if the newcomer could discover that the towel on the beach chair had been tampered with.


    At the moment Armstrong saw Li Zhuo, he was confident that he had won the bet. This was because the young man in front of him did not seem to have any skills. He was just a hothead.


    Armstrong really could not understand how this young man could see through this ¡®prank¡¯.


    At this moment, the four-man team playing beach volleyball also approached this side. Three of them took turns to flick Armstrong¡¯s forehead.


    The other person muttered helplessly and moved his forehead in front of Alsop.


    Pa!


    Pa!


    After Alsop finished playing, Armstrong could not wait to play as well. Apparently, he wanted to find a psychological balance.


    When all the ¡®gambling debts¡¯ were collected, the six people looked at Li Zhuo in unison.


    They were all waiting for Li Zhuo¡¯s answer ¡ª why could an ordinary young man see through this prank.


    However, after Li Zhuo slowly swept his gaze across the six of them, he opened his mouth and said a long string of words that did not seem to have anything to do with the answer.


    ¡°Alsop, there are traces of a ring on the ring finger of your left hand, and there is a tiny black mole on the left side of your neck.¡±


    ¡°Your left ankle looks a little unnatural. It should be a minor injury recently.¡±


    ¡°There should be something hidden in the left sleeve of your prison uniform. Although I¡¯m not sure what it is, it¡¯s most likely a small bottle.¡±


    When Alsop heard this, the smile on her face froze.


    After Li Zhuo said this to Alsop in one breath, she looked directly at Armstrong.


    ¡°There¡¯s something in your left sleeve as well, but this time, I can tell that it¡¯s dice and poker cards.¡±


    ¡°At the same time, although you¡¯ve been using your right hand, your left hand is very coordinated, and it¡¯s even more coordinated than your right hand, so I think you¡¯re actually left-handed.¡±


    Hearing this, everyone could not help but look at Armstrong¡¯s left hand, and their eyes revealed surprise.


    They had never noticed this, but this young man actually noticed it!


    What the hell is going on?!

 Chapter 6

    The sunlight on the beach was very gentle, so gentle that Li Zhuo could see everything clearly in his field of vision.


    There was a white spot on the wing of the seagull at the 11 o¡¯clock direction. The edge of the white feather would often turn black, but that feather was pure white.


    There was a coconut tree at the 3 o¡¯clock direction. There was a coconut on the tree that was swaying under the gentle sea breeze. It looked like it was already ripe, and it would probably fall to the ground soon because of gravity.


    At the 2 o¡¯clock direction, there was a crab hiding under a rock.


    Li Zhuo had just seen with his own eyes that the crab had dug a ¡®tunnel¡¯ out of the sand and drilled into it. It had yet to come out.


    Li Zhuo had seen everything. Even when he had arrived at the legendary Section S, which was extremely dangerous, he had never stopped.


    It was not because of his strong mental strength or subtle observation skills. In fact, as an ordinary student, he had been a little nervous ever since he came to this prison.


    However, he could still notice these things.


    The reason was very simple¡­ Li Zhuo was a person with a photographic memory.


    As long as he had seen something once, it would be deeply imprinted in his mind.


    Even if it was a small thing that happened three years ago, he could completely replay it in his mind. He could recall everything down to the detail!


    That was why he could accurately say what he said just now. It was not because he had strong analytical ability and intelligence. It was just because he remembered this scene, that was all.


    At this time, the scene became a little strange. Every criminal was staring at Li Zhuo.


    They could already tell that the kid standing in front of them was definitely not simple.


    They even began to doubt if this kid¡¯s real job was a detective, and it was the kind of detective that was at the top of the world.


    However, if one wanted to mention ¡®top of the world¡¯, everyone present was at the top of the world.


    Armstrong smiled slightly and spread his hands. ¡°Interesting. I¡¯ve never met someone as smart as you. I admire you very much now.¡±


    ¡°However, my appreciation alone will not allow you to truly integrate into our Section S. You still need to accept a welcoming ceremony.¡±


    When Li Zhuo heard this, he immediately asked a question. ¡°You¡¯re their boss?¡±


    Hearing this, all the prisoners present laughed.


    ¡°As long as you can successfully pass this welcoming ceremony, I will tell you,¡± Armstrong said with a burning gaze.


    ¡­


    The decorated and luxurious room was illuminated by the golden lights, making it even more resplendent.


    An oval-shaped long table quietly sat in the middle of the room. Li Zhuo and Armstrong sat on both sides of the long table.


    There was a burst of music around them, accompanied by the sound of small steel balls. At the bar counter in the corner of the room, a bartender in a black vest was seriously brewing up some kind of cocktail.


    The bartender held the cocktail shaker with both hands and shook it. After a while, he opened the shaker and added the last liquid to the goblet in front of him.


    The yellow liquor in the quilt turned into a beautiful blue color immediately after the new element was added.


    After inserting a toy paper umbrella and a slice of lemon into the glass, the cocktail was completed.


    Alsop reached out her slender fingers and held the bottom of the goblet, revealing a charming smile. ¡°Thank you, Wilson. Your cocktail mixing skills seem to have improved.¡±


    ¡°Thank you for your praise.¡± Wilson bowed slightly, and there was a hint of respect for Alsop in his tone.


    At this moment, Li Zhuo was silent again. He had never thought that the warden would have such skills!


    ¡®Aren¡¯t you the f*cking warden? Don¡¯t use such a technique so casually! It¡¯s very out of place!!¡¯ Li Zhuo¡¯s heart was roaring silently.


    Armstrong, who was sitting opposite him and smiled. ¡°let¡¯s have a bet. As long as you can beat me, you¡¯ll be considered to have passed my welcoming ceremony.¡±


    ¡°If you win, we¡¯ll be on the same side in the future.¡±


    ¡°What if I lose?¡± Li Zhuo asked calmly.


    Armstrong shrugged and spoke in a very nonchalant manner. ¡°Then I don¡¯t know. You might be dragged to do human experiments, or you might be emptied of your internal organs and sold, or something else.¡±


    The corners of Li Zhuo¡¯s eyes twitched twice. So the rumors these prisoners heard were true!


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you a little too much of a bully?¡± Li Zhuo said unhappily


    ¡°You already said that you¡¯re a gambling master. How can I have a chance to win if I gamble with you? You have to know that this is the first time in my life that I gamble.¡±


    Armstrong was about to speak when Alsop, who was sitting in front of the stage, turned around. ¡°No, no, no. If you think that way, you¡¯re very wrong. In fact, all five of us have won against that so-called gambling master. That kid¡¯s gambling skills aren¡¯t that good,¡± Alsop said


    Hearing this, Li Zhuo was slightly stunned. All the people here had bet with Armstrong, and they all won?


    This was ¡®half-good¡¯ news for Li Zhuo. At least Li Zhuo has a chance of winning.


    However, why half? That was because the other nameless prisoners in this room did not seem to be simple people either. Just because they can win did not mean Li Zhuo could win.


    However, there is only one way for Li Zhuo to go now. Either win the bet and successfully join Section S, or fail and die.


    From the expressions of Armstrong and the others, it could be seen that they did not seem to care about the death of others. In fact, to them, this might really just be a simple game.


    However, to Li Zhuo, this was a struggle of life and death¡­ He had to win!


    Thinking of this, Li Zhuo closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened his eyes again, his entire temperament had undergone an earth-shaking change.


    ¡°Then, please begin to introduce the rules,¡± Li Zhuo said calmly.


    Li Zhuo¡¯s powerful memory also gave him some other auxiliary functions.


    For example, because Li Zhuo¡¯s memory was too good, everything was recorded in his mind, causing him to often enter a calm state that ordinary people could not enter.


    Whether it was joy, sadness, or even fear, Li Zhuo could take out every second to experience them at any time.


    He was already used to dealing with all kinds of emotions, so he could easily enter a calm state.


    This made Armstrong¡¯s eyes light up again. ¡°I admit, I admire you more and more.¡±


    Armstrong smiled and snapped his fingers. The next moment, Wilson, who was standing behind the bar counter, came to the gambling table.


    ¡°Let me explain the rules of this gambling game to everyone.¡±


    When Li Zhuo saw this scene, the corner of his eyes twitched again.


    First, it was the waiter, then the bartender, and now the dealer.


    This warden named Wilson seemed to know everything!!

 Chapter 7

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Wilson naturally did not know what Li Zhuo was thinking. He continued to introduce the rules of the bet with a serious expression.


    ¡°This game involves poker cards, and it is a common game. The usual five-card stud rules apply. One million chips per person, until all are lost.¡±


    ¡°Do the two of you have any questions?¡±


    Armstrong said, ¡°no questions.¡±


    Li Zhuo said, ¡°what¡­ what do you think!?¡±


    ¡°There are too many questions!! First of all, I¡¯m still a student. I¡¯ve never gambled before, so how would I know what a five-card stud is?!¡±


    ¡°Secondly, how can a student like me get a million? ! I can¡¯t even get 10,000! No, I can¡¯t even get 50!!¡±


    ¡°Also, the most important thing is¡­¡±


    Li Zhuo looked at Armstrong with a pained expression and pointed at him. ¡°This guy has already admitted himself as a gambling master. How can I possibly win against him?!¡±


    Li Zhuo¡¯s voice grew louder and louder until it was almost a roar. The scene fell into silence. Everyone was staring straight at Li Zhuo.


    The undisguised gaze of the surrounding people made Li Zhuo feel a little uncomfortable.


    The next moment, Wilson suddenly burst out laughing. ¡°You¡¯re so humorous.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡±


    Humor my ass!! Who the hell is being humorous with you!?


    Li Zhuo was completely speechless. It seemed that Wilson still had a certain misunderstanding about Li Zhuo¡¯s identity.


    Sure enough, Wilson looked at Li Zhuo respectfully and said with a smile, ¡°Mr. Li, as you can see, every prisoner in Section S seems to be an ordinary character. However, every one of them is a top criminal expert in this world.¡±


    ¡°They are real criminal masters, or¡­ criminal artists.¡±


    ¡°Since you have come here, how can you be an ordinary student?¡±


    I¡¯m an f*cking ordinary student!!


    Li Zhuo covered his face in pain and weakly waved his hand.


    ¡°Fine, fine, you can think whatever you want. But I really can¡¯t take out a million, and don¡¯t you think it¡¯s a bit of a bully to ask me to beat this cheater?¡±


    Alsop, who was at the side, smiled and said, ¡°I¡¯ll take out a bet on this handsome young man.¡±


    ¡°As for how to beat him¡­ you¡¯ll have to figure it out yourself.¡±


    Alsop raised her hand and brushed her long, wavy, wine-red hair. She raised the goblet in her hand to his mouth with his other hand and took a sip of wine.


    Li Zhuo glanced at Alsop. After a moment of silence, he looked back at the gambling table.


    The gambling table was clean and refreshing. Apart from chips and poker cards, there was almost nothing else. The only thing that stood out was a small silver bell on the right-hand side.


    Li Zhuo looked at the bell and asked, ¡°what is this for?¡±


    Armstrong, who was sitting across the gambling table, smiled and adjusted a more comfortable sitting position. ¡°This is a bell of doubt. If you think I cheated, you can press this bell. I will accept the examination.¡±


    ¡°As long as you successfully catch me cheating, you win.¡±


    ¡°Of course, you only have one chance. On the gambling table, slandering others for cheating is a very harsh thing. If you press the bell but don¡¯t catch me cheating, I will chop off your hands.¡±


    Armstrong said this with a gentlemanly smile the whole time. It did not seem like he was saying anything shocking.


    However, Li Zhuo also revealed a smile. He finally understood the real goal of this game.


    It was absolutely impossible for Li Zhuo to win against this master gambler. Therefore, the most important thing in this bet was to catch Armstrong cheating before the one million chips were lost.


    From the beginning, Li Zhuo¡¯s only condition for winning was this. Everyone understood this point.


    After Li Zhuo understood this point, he nodded and said, ¡°alright, I have a rough idea. Then, please explain to me the way of playing stud.¡±


    Regarding this request, Wilson did not raise any questions. Although he still felt that Li Zhuo was not an ordinary student, no matter who he was, it was normal that he had never played stud.


    Since the other party had made a request, it was reasonable to give an explanation of the rules.


    ¡°Each player has one trump card. The trump card can only be opened when the winner is decided. Starting from the second card, every time a card is dealt, the card with the highest value will go place a bet first.¡±


    ¡°If a bet is placed, those who want to continue playing can choose to follow. After placing a bet, they will place the same chips as the previous player, or they can choose to place additional bets. If each player feels that their cards are in a bad situation and do not want to continue, they can choose to fold. They can pay and wait for the end of the game. The chips that they have previously placed can not be retrieved.¡±


    ¡°The last round of betting is the key to the game. In this round, the players can play stud. The so-called stud is the biggest bet that all the players who have not given up can place. After the people who placed their bets made their stance, they would reveal their trump cards to determine the winner. At this time, the person with the highest cards could win all the chips on the table.¡±


    ¡°The following are the combinations according to their rank. Straight Flush, Four of a Kind, Fullhouse, Flush, Straight, Three of a Kind, Two Pairs, One Pair & Zilch.¡±


    ¡°Card suit ranking goes from Spade, Heart, Club, Diamond.¡±


    Wilson flipped open the poker cards on the table as he explained the rules. He took out all kinds of cards and explained them in great detail.


    After the introduction, Wilson looked at Li Zhuo and asked, ¡°do you need to explain it again?¡±


    Li Zhuo smiled slightly and said, ¡°once is enough.¡±


    Wilson was a little surprised at this point. A beginner who had never played poker could remember such a complicated rule in one go.


    However, the others did not feel surprised at all. They had already seen Li Zhuo¡¯s ability. It would be really strange if Li Zhuo could not remember it now.


    The sound of slot machines in the corner continued to play, as if only Armstrong and Alsop were paying attention to the situation at the table.


    ¡°Since both sides have no problems, then the game officially begins.¡±


    Wilson first gave Armstrong and Li Zhuo a trump card each. This was a hidden card. The card face was placed facing the table, and only the player could see what the card was.


    Then, Wilson gave each of them an open card.


    Armstrong¡¯s open card was Ace of Spade, and Li Zhuo¡¯s was Diamond 2.


    Armstrong smiled slightly, gently picked up the Ace, and said, ¡°it seems that my luck is not bad¡­¡±


    Before he finished his words, Li Zhuo suddenly raised his hand and slapped the bell of doubt on his right hand.


    The crisp ringing of the bell immediately attracted everyone¡¯s attention. Even the sound of steel balls from the slot machine in the corner stopped.


    The room immediately fell into silence..

 Chapter 8

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Armstrong was a little surprised at first, then his face turned ugly.


    He felt that the young man in front of him, whom he admired very much, seemed to be a little too frivolous.


    ¡°Do you think I¡¯m joking?¡±


    ¡°I said, if you press the bell but don¡¯t find any evidence, I¡¯ll chop off your hands.¡±


    Armstrong¡¯s tone had become a little fierce. The people who were playing the slot machine in the corner looked at Li Zhuo with contempt.


    It seemed that this was a young man who liked to gamble on his luck. In their opinion, Li Zhuo was betting that Armstrong would cheat in the first round.


    As for whether Li Zhuo could really find out that Armstrong was cheating? That was absolutely impossible.


    One had to know that Armstrong was the world¡¯s top gambling master. Even when they had accepted the welcome ceremony, it was not so easy to catch him cheating.


    So, Li Zhuo was definitely trying his luck.


    Absolutely!


    However, facing Armstrong¡¯s questioning, Li Zhuo appeared very relaxed.


    His gaze directly met Armstrong¡¯s, and he did not give in in the slightest. His expression was very calm, without a trace of panic.


    He was very clear that a big shot like Armstrong would not be so easily angered by humiliation.


    As long as he played the game according to the rules, Armstrong would definitely be convinced. This was the reason why he was calm.


    ¡°Since I pressed the bell of doubt, then I naturally can be sure that you cheated. After all, I only have one pair of hands. If I cut them off, they would be gone.¡±


    After saying that, Li Zhuo still raised his hands as if he was joking, showing them to Armstrong.


    Armstrong looked at the confident Li Zhuo and sneered. ¡°You better really have evidence.¡±


    Hearing this, Alsop, who was sitting in front of the stage, had already helplessly covered her face.


    Armstrong did indeed have superb gambling skills. Other than being a little playful, he was good at everything else. However, there was another big shortcoming, which was that sometimes his brain was not very good.


    The words Armstrong used¡­ Did he not just admit that he really cheated in the first round? Of course, it could also be because he was absolutely confident that Li Zhuo could not find any evidence.


    However, this kind of thing could only be known after he had tried it.


    Wilson, who was standing next to the gambling table as the dealer, looked at Li Zhuo and said, ¡°Mr. Li, you only have one chance to find evidence of Mr. Armstrong cheating. If you can¡¯t find it, you will be considered to have lost.¡±


    Li Zhuo smiled slightly, pointed at Armstrong, and said, ¡°I saw him change the cards with my own eyes. Go and check under the table. There should be cards hidden there.¡±


    Hearing this, Armstrong¡¯s expression immediately changed.


    Wilson hesitated for a moment and then walked toward Armstrong.


    Before Wilson approached, Armstrong took the initiative to take out the card he had replaced from under the table.


    7 of Clubs. This card was originally Armstrong¡¯s hidden card, but it was replaced by Armstrong.


    Then, Armstrong once again opened the hidden card that he had replaced.


    Ace of Hearts¡­


    In only the first round, the gambling master had changed his card type to a pair of aces.


    Armstrong raised his hands helplessly as if he was surrendering. ¡°Alright, you win this time. This is the first time I¡¯ve been caught cheating so easily. To be honest, I feel very embarrassed.¡±


    ¡°Although I still want to know, how did you do it?¡±


    At this time, the four people who were playing slot machines in the corner also came over. Everyone seemed to be very curious about how Li Zhuo, this young man, did it.


    However, in the face of everyone¡¯s gaze, Li Zhuo crossed his legs slowly and casually. He leaned against the back of the chair behind him and smiled slightly.


    ¡°I only saw it.¡±


    After saying this, everyone was slightly stunned. Everyone seemed to be deep in thought.


    Only Armstrong frowned slightly. ¡°Only saw it? Are you insulting me?¡± he stood up and said.


    ¡°My technique is flawless. Even if you watched it ten thousand times, you wouldn¡¯t be able to see it. How could you see it with just a glance?¡±


    Armstrong seemed to feel that he had been somewhat insulted.


    However, Alsop, who was in front of the bar counter, reminded him softly, ¡°Armstrong, you¡¯re losing your composure. A loss is a loss. The winner has the right to mock the loser.¡±


    Hearing this, Armstrong¡¯s face turned a little red.


    He did not want to do anything to Li Zhuo. In fact, the reason why these people could play together was that they did not have too much malice toward each other. They treated each other like friends.


    Since Li Zhuo had passed the test of the ¡®welcome ceremony¡¯, he naturally became everyone¡¯s friend. Being angry out of embarrassment was not a good way to treat a friend.


    Alsop looked at Li Zhuo and smiled. ¡°Although it¡¯s hard to believe, I still want to say that you¡¯re too surprising.¡±


    ¡°Just like when we were on the beach, you saw many details that ordinary people didn¡¯t notice with a glance. You even discovered that Armstrong¡¯s habitual hand was actually his left hand.¡±


    At this point, Alsop gave Armstrong a light glance.


    Seeing that Alsop had mentioned this matter again, Armstrong looked up at the ceiling in embarrassment, as if he was avoiding the topic.


    It was not a big deal for friends to keep their own secrets, but it was a little embarrassing to be exposed by others.


    Seeing that Armstrong was avoiding the topic, Alsop did not care much about it. She only smiled at Li Zhuo. ¡°However, it is indeed surprising that you can see so much at one glance.¡±


    At this moment, Li Zhuo shook his head. ¡°No, Mr. Armstrong¡¯s technique is indeed very exquisite. Just as he said, ordinary people would not be able to tell that he cheated even if they watched it ten thousand times.¡±


    ¡°But what if we watched it a million times?¡±


    Hearing this, everyone was slightly stunned and looked at each other.


    Armstrong could not help but ask, ¡°what do you mean?¡±


    Li Zhuo smiled slightly, pointed to his brain. ¡°Nothing special. I just remembered what you did just now and watched it a million times in my mind. It¡¯s that simple.¡±


    For a moment, the entire room fell silent again.


    Even Wilson, who had thought Li Zhuo was a ¡®big shot¡¯ from the beginning, was a little surprised at this moment.


    Memorizing an image and replaying it a million times in his mind without missing a beat? Was this really something that a human could do?


    Most people had the same thought, but no one questioned it anymore.


    Just as Alsop had said, a win was a win, and a loss was a loss. It was that simple.


    Armstrong sighed and put on a smile again, and he stood up. ¡°Congratulations on passing the welcoming ceremony, then¡­ Li Zhuo, welcome to Section S..¡±

 Chapter 9

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    On the beach, the sound of beach volleyball was still incessant, but the number of chairs had increased from two to three.


    Li Zhuo looked at the four people playing beach volleyball not far away in boredom.


    These four people seemed to only do this one thing every day. Did they really like playing beach volleyball so much?


    Counting the days, he had been in Section S for five days, but the guys here rarely did anything except play beach volleyball and lay on the reclining chairs to enjoy the sun.


    It was completely different from the prison he had imagined.


    At this moment, Armstrong¡¯s voice suddenly came from the side. ¡°How about we make a bet?¡±


    ¡®Here we go again¡­¡¯ Li Zhuo thought.


    He pursed his lips and said, ¡°no, I don¡¯t have any money.¡±


    Alsop, who was at the side, said with great interest, ¡°what do you want to bet?¡±


    Seeing that someone was taking up his challenge, Armstrong immediately said excitedly, ¡°let¡¯s bet on who will win in their beach volleyball. The bet is one million.¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    Hearing the words of the two people next to him, Li Zhuo gently fiddled with the sunglasses on his forehead to cover his eyes.


    He could not participate in such a gamble between the big shots. Sometimes, he even felt a little speechless.


    Could it be that all rich people were like this? For such a boring matter, they could also gamble a million?


    Although Li Zhuo was silently criticizing in his heart, Armstrong and Alsop seemed to be very interested in this.


    Alsop immediately said, ¡°I bet on Alan and Henry to win.¡±


    Armstrong raised his eyebrows and said, ¡°is there any basis for that?¡±


    ¡°No.¡± Alsop smiled and shrugged his shoulders, then took another sip of the cocktail.


    Armstrong curled his lips and muttered, ¡°I originally wanted to bet on them to win, but I didn¡¯t expect you to beat me to it.


    ¡°In that case, I can only bet on Carl and Putnam.¡±


    With that, he looked at Li Zhuo, seemingly unwilling to give up. He said, ¡°are you really not going to participate in the bet? Follow my lead and you¡¯ll definitely win!¡±


    ¡°I said I don¡¯t have that much money,¡± Li Zhuo said impatiently.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay, I can lend you.¡± Alsop smiled slightly. She seemed to admire Li Zhuo very much.


    Li Zhuo lifted up his sunglasses and glanced at the beach volleyball scene not far away.


    ¡°Okay, then I¡¯ll bet on Henry and Alan too.¡± After saying that, Li Zhuo looked at Armstrong and said, ¡°if we win, you have to pay two million.¡±


    Armstrong¡¯s breathing slightly stopped, and he said unhappily, ¡°hey, hey, hey, you don¡¯t believe in me, the gambling master, but you believe in that woman? This choice is too stupid!¡±


    Li Zhuo shrugged and said indifferently, ¡°from the results of your bets over the past few days, following your bet is really stupid.¡±


    In the five days since he came to Section S, Armstrong had wanted to find someone to bet on something almost every moment. This time, he suddenly said that he wanted to bet on volleyball.


    The key problem was that this guy had never won a bet before.


    Sometimes Li Zhuo even wondered if this guy was really the world¡¯s top gambling master?


    Armstrong muttered, ¡°I¡¯ll make you lose your underwear later.¡± He watched the beach volleyball game attentively.


    On the beach, Putnam and Alan were in slightly better shape, while Carl and Henry looked much thinner.


    Judging from their physical fitness, the two sides were evenly matched.


    However, Li Zhuo was very clear that physical fitness was often the least important thing in this game. These guys would soon complete this beach volleyball game in a ¡®mess¡¯.


    Halfway through the game, Carl suddenly staggered and fell on the beach.


    Seeing this scene, Armstrong¡¯s eyes lit up. He said in unison with Alsop, ¡°it¡¯s starting.¡±


    Li Zhuo was watching the farce in front of him through his sunglasses expressionlessly.


    At the same time Carl fell, Alan jumped up with a laugh and smashed the volleyball in the air toward the area Carl was guarding.


    Obviously, he was going to take this opportunity to score.


    However, the moment Alan tried to go for the kill, Putnam took out a folding stick from his sleeve expressionlessly. With a slight shake, the folding stick turned into a long stick.


    Putnam held the end of the long stick with both hands and put it on his shoulder. The long stick extended from Putnam¡¯s back to two meters away.


    At the next moment, Putnam¡¯s muscles tensed up. He exerted strength with both arms and suddenly swung the long stick, smashing it toward the volleyball that Alan had thrown at him.


    No one knew what the volleyball was made of, but with a bang, the volleyball was whipped by the long stick and immediately flew toward the sea like a baseball.


    Putnam raised his left hand to cover his eyes and looked at the volleyball flying far away. He nodded in satisfaction and said, ¡°good shot!¡±


    ¡°Good shot my ass!!¡±


    The corner of Li Zhuo¡¯s eyes twitched again.


    Even though Li Zhuo had seen Putnam¡¯s volleyball playing style countless times, he still could not help but feel like ridiculing it.


    ¡°Why does this guy think that sending the volleyball flying with a long stick is a good shot!?¡±


    ¡°Isn¡¯t it already out of bounds!!¡±


    ¡°Why does Putnam always use a new way of playing volleyball!!¡±


    ¡°Last time, he even took out his pistol and broke the volleyball!!¡±


    ¡°Is it really possible to win by playing volleyball like this?!¡±


    A series of complaints came out of Li Zhuo¡¯s mouth. Alsop covered her mouth and laughed softly as if she already felt that victory was in her grasp.


    Only Armstrong also reached out his left hand and placed it above his eyes. While blocking the sunlight, he looked at the volleyball flying toward the surface of the sea and nodded in admiration. ¡°Good shot!¡±


    ¡°Good shot my ass!! Are you going to change the volleyball rules?!¡±


    Armstrong was slightly stunned. He pointed at the volleyball on the surface of the sea that was no longer visible. ¡°I remember it¡¯s called a home run, right?¡±


    ¡°Hey, hey, that¡¯s baseball, right?! That¡¯s baseball you¡¯re talking about! Do you really know the rules of volleyball?! This is volleyball, not baseball!¡±


    Li Zhuo was completely shocked.


    Could it be that these guys had been playing beach volleyball here for so long and Armstrong still had not figured out the rules?


    Just what kind of confidence did this guy have to take the initiative to propose a bet on volleyball?!


    Thinking of this, Li Zhuo suddenly became curious about something. He turned his head and asked, ¡°oh right, you said before that they all passed the welcoming ceremony, right?


    ¡°I¡¯m very curious. How did they win?¡±


    Armstrong¡¯s expression turned ugly when he heard Li Zhuo mention this. It was as if someone had opened a scar on his face.


    Alsop, who was at the side, chuckled and said, ¡°everyone wins in a different way.


    ¡°Alan stole the card that Armstrong had hidden, so Armstrong couldn¡¯t cheat.¡±


    ¡°Henry used poison to knock out Armstrong, and won without a fight.¡±


    ¡°Although Carl was only a hacker and seemed to know nothing about gambling, his luck was surprisingly good. He could get a big card every time, and even if Armstrong cheated, he couldn¡¯t win.¡±


    ¡°Putnam used the simplest and most violent method, and directly pointed the gun at Armstrong, and Armstrong also immediately admitted defeat.¡±


    Hearing Alsop talk about his dirty deeds, Armstrong¡¯s expression became even uglier.


    However, he could not refute anything because these were all facts. He could only put down his sunglasses again and cover his eyes to pretend to sleep.


    Li Zhuo looked at Alop and asked curiously, ¡°then how did you win?¡±

 Chapter 10

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Before Alsop could speak, Armstrong sat upl. ¡°This old woman? Hmph!¡±


    ¡°She really won by gambling with her skills.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve already said that you¡¯re not allowed to call me an old woman.¡± Alsop¡¯s tone suddenly turned cold, but she did not deny Armstrong¡¯s words.


    Li Zhuo listened to these words and began to savor them carefully.


    It seemed that in Armstrong¡¯s eyes, although Alan, the world¡¯s number one expert in burglary, won with his skills, he did not win by gambling.


    Although the top hacker Carl won by gambling, he did not have any skills at all. He only relied on his own luck.


    As for Putnam and Henry, there was no need to say more. There was no gambling process at all.


    Only Alsop won by gambling skills, and this surprised Li Zhuo a little. He was even a little curious about the specific process of gambling, but he still did not ask.


    Although Armstrong said that Li Zhuo was already a member of Section S, it was okay to joke or play together and sunbathe together.


    However, Li Zhuo had not yet decided that he was a member of Section S from the bottom of his heart.


    To him, he was just an ordinary person who had been framed and sent here, not a criminal like them. If he had the chance, he would definitely escape.


    Just then, the metal door of the beach opened again, and Wilson sent in a new volleyball. Looking at Wilson¡¯s familiar appearance, it was obvious that this was not the first time he had done this.


    Li Zhuo looked at Wilson¡¯s figure as he bowed and left, and asked again, ¡°what¡¯s going on with this Wilson? Isn¡¯t he the warden? Why is he so obedient?¡±


    This question had always been in Li Zhuo¡¯s heart, and he had never received an answer. It was difficult for him to understand why Wilson was so obedient to the prisoners in Section S.


    Even if these prisoners were the top criminals in the world, Wilson did not have to be so respectful to them, right?


    Moreover, a prison warden certainly would not know all those messy skills such as bartending or dealer. Obviously, Wilson had specially learned these skills in order to better serve Section S.


    This was even more strange.


    However, while Li Zhuo was puzzled, Armstrong revealed a brilliant smile, stretched out two fingers, and rubbed them carefully. ¡°Money, it¡¯s money.¡±


    ¡°I give him a large sum of money every year, and it¡¯s precisely for this money that he would be so polite to the people of Section S. You know, we¡¯re his big clients.¡±


    Armstrong gave a smug smile. It was obvious that this guy had won a lot of money at the gambling table.


    Li Zhuo did not even dare to imagine what a huge number that was.


    Then he thought about Wilson¡¯s flattering look¡­


    It seemed that what Armstrong said could really be true. Otherwise, there would be no way to explain it.


    While they were chatting, a few people from the beach volleyball court walked over.


    Putnam was still expressionless as if he was born with a poker face. He looked at Armstrong, pointed at the beach volleyball court. ¡°Play a few rounds?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not playing with you guys. I don¡¯t even understand the rules of beach volleyball. If you want to play, go play with them,¡± Armstrong said unhappily.


    After saying that, Armstrong laid back on the recliner and put on his sunglasses as if he did not want to continue talking.


    Armstrong had lost the bet just now, and he was still angry.


    However, Putnam did not seem to hear Armstrong¡¯s angry words. He turned to look at Li Zhuo and pointed at the beach volleyball court with his thumb again.


    ¡°Play a few rounds?¡±


    Li Zhuo looked at the tall man in front of him and waved his hand.


    ¡°No, no, I can¡¯t compete with you.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t use guns.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡±


    Hey, hey, hey, why did you suddenly say such a strange thing with a straight face!?


    You won¡¯t use guns? Why do you make it sound like its a very big compromise!?


    This was volleyball! It was volleyball!!


    Li Zhuo could not help but curse in his heart, but he still smiled awkwardly on the surface.


    ¡°I¡¯m not very good at sports, you guys play,¡± Li Zhuo waved his hand and said.


    After receiving two consecutive rejections, Putnam had no choice but to leave the ¡®lounge area¡¯ and return to the beach volleyball court to continue playing volleyball with the other three.


    It was not until Putnam left that Li Zhuo heaved a sigh of relief.


    Although everyone seemed to have already regarded Li Zhuo as one of their ¡®own people¡¯, this sense of oppression from Putnam was still a little too strong for Li Zhuo.


    It was hard to imagine why such a silent killer, who was proficient in all weapons and was known as a ¡®master of weapons¡¯, would be locked up in such a place.


    Thinking of this, Li Zhuo could not help but turn his head to look at Armstrong.


    It was one thing for him to be framed as an ordinary student, but it was normal for him to be caught. It would definitely be strange if he was able to escape.


    However, everyone here had the world¡¯s top criminal skills. How could they be caught?


    In the end, Li Zhuo suppressed his thoughts of asking questions and closed his mouth to lie down properly.


    No matter what, at least he was temporarily safe in Section S. He would stay here for a while. With this thought in mind, Li Zhuo shut his eyes peacefully.


    However, what he did not expect was that the quiet life he thought he would have to lead was quickly broken by this silent killer, Putnam.


    ¡­


    In the restaurant.


    Armstrong sat on the ground with an angry face. His angry face was covered with a layer of shadow.


    It was the shadow of the tall and strong Putnam in front of him.


    ¡°Did you take the wrong medicine today? How dare you push me!!¡±


    ¡°I was just asking casually!¡±


    Armstrong gritted his teeth and questioned Putnam loudly. He did not seem to be afraid despite Putnam having the identity of a killer.


    However, Putnam did not seem to have any intention of giving a reply. He only looked at Armstrong coldly before turning around and leaving.


    Before Putnam left the restaurant, Li Zhuo happened to push the door open and enter. The two of them brushed past each other.


    Li Zhuo looked at Putnam¡¯s back as he left. He then looked at Armstrong, who was slumped on the ground. He was slightly stunned.


    ¡°What happened?¡±


    ¡°That kid is a mad dog!¡± Armstrong angrily sat up from the ground and said through gritted teeth.


    This sentence made Li Zhuo even more confused.


    Alsop comforted Armstrong, then quickly walked to Li Zhuo¡¯s side, looking very worried. ¡°Putnam seems to have secretly brought something into Section S..¡±

 Chapter 11

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Putnam brought something into Section S?


    Li Zhuo was slightly stunned.


    If it was someone else who brought something in, it would not make everyone so nervous, but Putnam was different.


    That guy was a legendary killer known as a master of weapons. Any weapon in his hands would become very deadly.


    It was not good news for such a person to bring something into Section S.


    Li Zhuo was silent for a moment. He looked up at Armstrong and asked, ¡°did you have a conflict with Putnam just now?¡±


    Armstrong immediately said with an aggrieved tone when he heard Li Zhuo¡¯s question. ¡°Today, the four of us arrived at the restaurant first, and Putnam arrived later.¡±


    ¡°At that time, I saw that his arms were somewhat bulging, so I curiously asked him what he brought.¡±


    ¡°In the end, that guy completely ignored me and even bumped into me. The guy is barbaric!¡±


    After describing what had just happened, Armstrong did not forget to insult Putnam. He seemed to be really angry.


    After Li Zhuo heard this, he did not comfort Armstrong, but immediately closed his eyes.


    At this moment, his mind was in complete darkness.


    Li Zhuo was standing in the darkness. In front of him was a long ¡®film¡¯ that seemed to have no end.


    This was the world in Li Zhuo¡¯s mind. It had been in his mind for as long as he could remember.


    In this world, Li Zhuo could freely access his memories. As long as Li Zhuo saw it, he would definitely not forget it, because he could flip through it at any time.


    In the darkness, Li Zhuo reached out his hand, pressed down on the film in front of him, and gently fiddled with it.


    The next moment, the world turned from darkness to the appearance of a restaurant.


    As Li Zhuo fiddled with it, the image was still rapidly replaying.


    An image appeared. It was Li Zhuo just pushing open the door and entering. At this point, Li Zhuo stopped fiddling and carefully looked at the image in front of him.


    Putnam¡¯s tall body took up 30% of the entire scene. Li Zhuo could even clearly see every strand of stubble on Putnam¡¯s face.


    The abdomen area of Putnam¡¯s prison uniform did indeed look a little bulging as if something was really placed inside.


    Li Zhuo slightly frowned and gently pressed the film and fiddled with it. Then, the scene in this world began to play at the speed that Li Zhuo fiddled with.


    In the scene, Li Zhuo¡¯s perspective subconsciously turned slightly from the front to look at Putnam.


    Putnam¡¯s gaze did not move at all. He looked straight ahead and then brushed past Li Zhuo.


    Then, it was Li Zhuo who noticed Armstrong lying on the ground. Then, Li Zhuo looked back at Putnam¡¯s back. Then nothing.


    In Li Zhuo¡¯s memory, only these fragments were related to Putnam.


    He could only see Putnam¡¯s abdomen for the first one second, and this one second was too short for him to see anything.


    Then, Li Zhuo closed his eyes again, and the world in his mind returned to darkness.


    When he opened his eyes again, Li Zhuo had already returned to the restaurant.


    In other words, he had never left the restaurant. He had only sent his consciousness into the world in his mind.


    The other people in the restaurant were looking at Li Zhuo at this time, as if waiting for him to speak.


    Everyone knew that Li Zhuo¡¯s memory was exceptionally good, so good that it made them feel that he wa incredible.


    If it was Li Zhuo, perhaps he would be able to see something.


    However, Li Zhuo shook his head helplessly. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, everyone. At that time, I saw too little and the time was too short. I¡¯m not sure what was hidden in Putnam¡¯s abdomen.¡±


    ¡°But what I can confirm is that there is indeed something hidden in his abdomen.¡±


    Previously, it could be said that Armstrong had seen wrongly. It could even be said that everyone present had seen wrongly.


    However, once Li Zhuo confirmed it, then there would be no mistake!


    Everyone present fell silent. No one knew what exactly Putnam had brought into Section S.


    At this moment, Li Zhuo opened his mouth and asked, ¡°isn¡¯t this a prison? Why can Putnam bring things in?¡±


    ¡°Do you still think this place is like a prison? Think about the remuneration I paid Wilson. In Section S, we can do whatever we want!¡± Armstrong said snappily.


    Li Zhuo was completely shocked.


    Why could such a thing be said so confidently!!


    In other words, this place really had nothing to do with a prison!


    Holding back his desire to ridicule, Li Zhuo suggested. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, why don¡¯t we go and talk to Wilson?¡±


    ¡°Maybe Wilson sent Putnam¡¯s things in. Maybe he knows something.¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°Sorry, I don¡¯t know.¡±


    Wilson spread his hands innocently in front of everyone.


    Armstrong walked over with an angry face, grabbed Wilson¡¯s collar and warned, ¡°don¡¯t think of helping him lie to me. Don¡¯t forget that I¡¯m the one who paid for everything.¡±


    Wilson looked at the angry Armstrong and felt helpless. ¡°Mr. Armstrong, I really don¡¯t know about this.¡±


    ¡°In fact, the thing you said didn¡¯t pass through my hands. Mr. Putnam went out to bring it back last night.¡±


    ¡°Went out by himself?!¡± Li Zhuo looked at Armstrong and said. He was slightly stunned. ¡°Can we get out of this prison?¡±


    Hearing Li Zhuo¡¯s question, Armstrong replied proudly. ¡°Of course, I said we can do whatever we want in Section S. of course, we can go out whenever we want!¡±


    Hearing this, Li Zhuo was completely shocked.


    He had indeed overestimated Wilson¡¯s professional ethics. It seemed that this place really had nothing to do with prison, except for the prison uniform that everyone was wearing.


    ¡°Is there any way to know where Putnam went last night?¡± Li Zhuo looked at Wilson and asked.


    Wilson shook his head helplessly. ¡°I don¡¯t know. How would I dare to ask about what one of the big shots of Section S district is doing?¡±


    Li Zhuo was speechless.


    He had already joined Section S, and he felt that Wilson¡¯s words were strange.


    Li Zhuo waved his hand helplessly. ¡°Alright, you can go back first. We¡¯ll call you if there¡¯s anything.¡±


    ¡°Okay, okay.¡± Wilson bowed and hurriedly opened the metal gate to leave Section S.


    ¡°As expected of Mr. Li. He seems to have become the core figure of Section S in just a few days¡­ Mr. Li is indeed not simple.¡±


    Wilson recalled Li Zhuo¡¯s dominant position in this conversation and felt that it was a wise choice to be more polite to Li Zhuo.


    While Li Zhuo was at his wit¡¯s end in Section S, Alsop and the others suddenly turned to look at Li Zhuo.


    Feeling everyone¡¯s gaze, Li Zhuo was slightly stunned.


    ¡°Why are you all looking at me?¡±


    Armstrong put on a mischievous smile and patted Li Zhuo¡¯s shoulder.


    ¡°We all agree that you are the most suitable person to be the leader of our ¡®investigation into what Putnam brought to Section S¡¯!¡±

 Chapter 12

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    At this moment, Li Zhuo actually thought that he was hearing things.


    ¡°What did you say just now?¡±


    ¡°Investigate what exactly did Putnam bring to the S District Task Force Team Leader,¡± Armstrong repeated.


    Li Zhuo was once again speechless.


    ¡°What kind of lousy action team is this?!¡±


    ¡°Why is there such a strange team, and why can you repeat it word for word?!¡±


    ¡°Is this really something you just made up?!¡± Li Zhuo said in shock.


    ¡°Calm down, buddy,¡± Armstrong hugged Li Zhuo and said with a smile. ¡°Look, a dangerous guy like Putnam, we definitely can¡¯t let him go, right? This concerns the safety of all of us.¡±


    ¡°No, don¡¯t count me in,¡± Henry said as he adjusted his glasses.


    The others could not help but look at him, and then looked at Li Zhuo again.


    ¡°Indeed, that guy can¡¯t be counted in. With Henry¡¯s poison-making skills, we can totally poison Putnam before he does anything.¡±


    Armstrong nodded seriously and analyzed.


    After Henry left the restaurant, there was instantly one person less in the Investigate what exactly did Putnam bring to the S District Task Force.


    ¡°However, even if there are only the five of us¡­¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t count me,¡± Alan said indifferently.


    The others could not help but look at him, and then looked back at Li Zhuo.


    ¡°Indeed, this guy can¡¯t be counted. Not to mention that Alan¡¯s physique is not much worse than Putnam¡¯s, even if Putnam really hid some dangerous goods, Alan is confident that he can steal them.¡±


    Armstrong nodded his head and analyzed seriously once again.


    After Alan left the restaurant, the Investigate what exactly did Putnam bring to the S District Task Force once again lost another member.


    ¡°Although there are only four people left in our action team, we can still¡­¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t plan to join either,¡± Carl, who was wearing a mask, said in a low voice.


    The others could not help but look at him, and then looked at Li Zhuo again.


    Then, they were all stunned.


    ¡°Hey, hey, hey, wait, you can¡¯t possibly have the ability to protect yourself as a hacker, right? There¡¯s no reason for you not to contribute to the task force!¡±


    Armstrong finally reacted and stared at Carl.


    However, Carl revealed a wicked smile. ¡°I knew Putnam before I went to prison. I even helped that guy a little. He won¡¯t do anything to me.¡±


    Armstrong was slightly stunned. ¡°You¡¯ve known him before? Why haven¡¯t I heard you mention him before?¡±


    ¡°You haven¡¯t asked either.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡± Armstrong fell silent.


    Carl patted Armstrong on the shoulder and left the restaurant.


    The Investigate what exactly did Putnam bring to the S District Task Force had not been officially established yet, and the number of reservations had already been reduced by half.


    The next second, Armstrong took the initiative to look at Alsop with an ominous premonition.


    ¡°That¡¯s right. You guessed it right. Don¡¯t count me in,¡± Alsop said with a smile while stroking her long wine-red hair.


    ¡°Why?!¡± Armstrong was completely dumbfounded. He did not expect Alop to be unwilling to join them, let alone the others.


    ¡°No reason. I don¡¯t think Putnam will do anything to us.¡± Alsop yawned and rolled her eyes at Armstrong. ¡°If I have to give another reason, I think the name of this action group is too stupid. I really don¡¯t want to join.¡±


    After saying that, Alsop twisted her slender waist and left the restaurant.


    All of a sudden, only Li Zhuo and Armstrong were left in the restaurant.


    Armstrong looked at Li Zhuo silently, and Li Zhuo also looked at Armstrong silently.


    After a moment, Li Zhuo raised his hand and started to speak awkwardly.


    ¡°That¡­ I also¡­¡±


    ¡°No!!¡± Armstrong took the chance to say it before Li Zhuo finished.


    ¡°Why?¡± Li Zhuo said unwillingly.


    If the others could quit, why could he not quit?


    At this time, Armstrong showed a bitter expression. ¡°You really can¡¯t leave me anymore. I don¡¯t know anything except gambling. If you abandon me, I¡¯m dead!¡±


    ¡°Well, I don¡¯t think that he¡¯ll kill you, right? Maybe you¡¯re thinking too much?¡± Li Zhuo felt that Armstrong¡¯s words were too serious.


    ¡°What if? What if that guy really wants to kill me? How can I, a gambler, be a killer?¡± Armstrong said with a bitter face. He looked terrible as if his own father had passed away.


    ¡°Even if I join this investigation task force¡­¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s the Investigate what exactly did Putnam bring to the S District Task Force,¡± Armstrong corrected seriously.


    ¡°¡­¡±


    You still have the mood to pay attention to this at this time!!


    Li Zhuo suddenly felt very tired. Was this guy with a ponytail really a world-class gambling expert?


    Was he really not an idiot?!


    ¡°In short, please help me. If you don¡¯t help me, I won¡¯t be able to sleep every night!¡±


    ¡°If I can¡¯t sleep, my skin will become very bad!!¡±


    ¡°So the focus is on my skin!!¡±


    Li Zhuo was completely shocked.


    ¡°Skin is very important!! If I don¡¯t have particularly good skin, I can¡¯t go on a killing spree at the gambling table!!¡±


    ¡°So you rely on your skin to go on a killing spree at the gambling table!!¡± Li Zhuo covered his face helplessly. He felt so tired.


    This guy across from him must be an idiot. He must be¡­


    ¡°Please help me. Only your observational skills can investigate what exactly Putnam brought to Section S.¡±


    ¡°Let me repeat myself. It¡¯s memory, not observational skills.¡± Li Zhuo raised a finger and corrected him seriously.


    ¡°Whatever. Only you can help me now. I¡¯m really useless except for gambling. I really can¡¯t live without you.¡± Armstrong was about to cry if he continued.


    However, Li Zhuo was still a little hesitant. After all, he did not know how to investigate this matter.


    However, Armstrong seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly raised a finger and spoke seriously. ¡°As long as you help, I will pay you one million.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡± Li Zhuo glanced at Armstrong in front of him, and his expression became serious.


    He slowly raised a hand.


    ¡°Five million.¡±


    ¡°Deal!¡±


    ¡°F*ck, I think I sold myself short.¡± Li Zhuo was slightly stunned. He did not expect Armstrong to agree so readily.


    From Armstrong¡¯s straightforward agreement without any psychological burden, it seemed that he could have asked for more.


    ¡°Alright, five million then. Half in advance, half afterwards.¡±


    ¡°Oh right, and the bet at the beach today. You have to pay me three and a half million now.¡±


    Li Zhuo calculated meticulously. This money might help him break out of prison one day and hide outside for the rest of his life.


    ¡°No problem!¡±


    The two men looked at each other and revealed a smile between comrades..

 Chapter 13

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    In the recreation room.


    Alsop, Carl, Alan, and Henry were gathered around a table, staring intently at the table.


    ¡°6! 6! 6! 6! 6!¡± Carl clenched his right hand tightly, muttering to himself.


    The other three people at the table were looking at Carl nervously as if they did not dare to relax even a little.


    The next moment, Carl suddenly let go of his right hand. A cube fell from Carl¡¯s right hand, fell on the table, and then rolled around again.


    At this moment, the eyes of the four people around the table were all attracted by the cube, staring at it closely.


    After rolling on the table for a few weeks, the cube finally stopped moving and lay quietly on the table. At the top of the square, there were six blue dots.


    At this moment, a cheer and three sighs rose at the same time.


    ¡°Yeah, it¡¯s 6!!¡±


    Carl excitedly picked up the chess piece on the table and moved six squares forward.


    Finally, he placed the chess piece steadily on the other two chess pieces of the same color in the center of the table.


    ¡°This way, I¡¯ll have three planes arriving at the finish line.¡±


    Alsop looked at Carl, who was rubbing his hands excitedly. ¡°Kid, don¡¯t be a hacker. Just go and buy lottery tickets. With your luck, do you still need to work?¡± she asked helplessly.


    ¡°What do you know? Hacking is my hobby. It¡¯s your turn to throw the dice.¡± The four people around the table laughed and laughed.


    In the corner, Putnam did not seem to pay attention to what the others were doing. He was just playing with the phone in front of him.


    ¡°Hey, hey, hey, is it really okay to play with your phone in prison?¡±


    In another corner that was completely opposite to Putnam, Li Zhuo and Armstrong were holding two magazines to cover their faces to prevent Putnam from finding out that they were spying on him.


    ¡°I told you, you can do anything in Section S. Of course, you can play with your phone.¡± Armstrong showed a hint of pride again.


    ¡°What are you so proud of?¡± Li Zhuo¡¯s eyes twitched twice.


    If all of Putnam¡¯s actions were done on the phone, it would be difficult for them to investigate anything. At this time, they still had to rely on the help of the genius hacker Carl.


    Thinking of this, Li Zhuo put down the magazine in his hand and stood up, walking towards Carl.


    This action was too sudden. Armstrong was so scared that he shrank his neck, hiding his entire face behind the magazine in his hand.


    Li Zhuo came to Carl¡¯s side, patted his shoulder. ¡°Come out and talk?¡±


    Carl raised his head and looked at Li Zhuo with a smile. He knew very well why Li Zhuo came to find him. Therefore, he did not say anything. He just extended a finger.


    Li Zhuo raised his eyebrows and leaned over to Carl¡¯s ear, ¡°why do you need so much money as a child?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s none of your business. I also have something I like to buy.¡±


    That¡¯s right. Carl was a child. He was ten years old.


    Li Zhuo glanced at Armstrong without changing his expression. That guy was still hiding behind the magazine.


    Although the magazine that was held upside down had already exposed where Armstrong¡¯s attention was, the magazine still gave Armstrong a sense of security.


    Li Zhuo sighed and looked at Carl. ¡°You have to talk to Armstrong about the price.¡±


    ¡°OK.¡± Carl threw down the chess piece in his hand and followed Li Zhuo to Armstrong¡¯s side. He also picked up a magazine and covered his own face.


    This scene looked a little comical. Even the other three people who were playing board games could not help but look over.


    Only Putnam seemed to be unconcerned about the situation around him. He was still looking at the phone in his hand.


    In the corner, Li Zhuo nudged Armstrong with his elbow. ¡°I think we need to rely on Carl¡¯s help now. His hacking skills can help us find out what Putnam has been looking at on the phone recently.¡±


    Armstrong was delighted. He extended his arm over Li Zhuo¡¯s chest and touched Carl¡¯s head. ¡°Kid, it¡¯s great that you¡¯re willing to help.¡±


    Carl did not dodge. He allowed Armstrong to tousle his melon-skin hairstyle and revealed an innocent smile. ¡°I didn¡¯t say I wanted to help for free.¡±


    After saying that, he extended a finger. ¡°Ten million.¡±


    Li Zhuo was slightly surprised when he heard that. He had thought that Carl¡¯s offer was one million, but he had not expected it to be ten times higher.


    At this moment, Armstrong¡¯s hand immediately froze. ¡°Ten million? Why don¡¯t you rob me instead?¡± he stiffly withdrew his hand and said with some dissatisfaction.


    ¡°Then you think of a way yourself.¡± As Carl said this, he was about to put down the magazine and leave.


    Seeing that Carl was so straightforward, Armstrong became anxious.


    ¡°Fine, fine, fine. Ten million it is. Quickly find out what Putnam is looking at on his phone.¡±


    Li Zhuo could not believe it and thought, ¡®so I¡¯m asking for too little, huh?¡¯


    ¡­


    He pushed open the door and saw a small, dark room.


    Li Zhuo looked curiously at the situation in the room. Beside him, Armstrong whistled. ¡°This is your workplace? This is my first time here.¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t say I would invite you in.¡± Carl, who was standing between the two of them, took a step forward and slammed the door shut, leaving Li Zhuo and Armstrong outside.


    ¡°Hey, hey, hey, is this how you treat your customers?¡± Armstrong said.


    Carl, who was inside the door, ignored him. Obviously, everyone treated Armstrong as an idiot.


    Li Zhuo smiled. ¡°Armstrong, I think it¡¯s okay for him to do this. After all, Carl may have his own secrets.¡±


    ¡°As a hacker, equipment is life. It¡¯s understandable that I don¡¯t want you to see it.¡±


    Armstrong turned to look at Li Zhuo when he heard this. ¡°Equipment? That room is dark. I don¡¯t see any light. How did you see the equipment?¡± he said with a puzzled face.


    Li Zhuo smiled slightly. He closed his eyes and sat on the bench in the corridor outside the door. He did not give an answer.


    In fact, just because others could not see it did not mean that Li Zhuo could not see it.


    The three seconds when Carl pushed the door open just now were as long as three years to the memory world in Li Zhuo¡¯s mind.


    During these three years, Li Zhuo had seen these three seconds countless times.


    He saw it so many times that his eyes could adapt to the darkness in the room. Then, it was absolutely no problem for him to see the outline of the things in the room.


    He saw very clearly that there were at least twenty computers in the room. Some of them were very small, and some of them were very large.


    As for the difference between these computers, Li Zhuo did not understand. This was not Li Zhuo¡¯s specialty.


    After about five minutes, the door to the room was opened again. Carl walked out of the dark room and smiled at Armstrong.


    ¡°It¡¯s done..¡±

 Chapter 14

    Seeing Carl¡¯s relaxed smile, Armstrong could not help but feel relaxed.


    ¡°Not bad, kid. You found out so quickly. What has he been busy with recently?¡±


    Carl had not answered, but Li Zhuo smiled. ¡°In fact, he didn¡¯t find out so quickly. He found out long ago.¡±


    Hearing Li Zhuo¡¯s words, Armstrong and Carl turned to look at Li Zhuo.


    However, Armstrong¡¯s face was full of doubt, while Carl¡¯s face was full of surprise.


    ¡°What do you mean?¡± Armstrong raised the question in his heart.


    Seeing Armstrong being so direct, Li Zhuo muttered in his heart that this guy was really an idiot in all aspects except gambling.


    Li Zhuo looked at Carl again and smiled. ¡°In the minute after he entered the room, I heard the keyboard tapping sounds were very frequent and regular.


    ¡°However, after a minute, the keyboard tapping sounds became irregular. You should know what this means, right?¡±


    Carl¡¯s expression became more and more strange, as if someone had exposed something. Even his breathing seemed to have stopped for a moment.


    Armstrong, on the other hand, still had a puzzled look on his face. After being stunned for three seconds, he replied, ¡°what do you mean?¡±


    ¡°¡­¡±


    ¡°¡­¡±


    Alright, he was indeed an idiot. Li Zhuo and Carl could only stare at Armstrong. They did not know what to say.


    In the course of a transaction, it was clearly just an equivalent exchange. However, if one party was too relaxed when completing the transaction, the other party would often feel that they had lost out.


    Carl just did not want Armstrong to know that he only needed to spend one minute to earn this ten million.


    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. It¡¯s not important.¡±


    Li Zhuo did not intend to explain anything to Armstrong. Instead, he turned to Carl and asked, ¡°so, what did you find out?¡±


    Carl saw that Li Zhuo did not mention the previous matter again. He also let out a slight sigh of relief. ¡°I found some interesting things, such as¡­ Putnam¡¯s online shopping records.¡±


    ¡°Online shopping records? What did he buy?¡± Armstrong was slightly stunned. He did not expect to spend a huge sum of money to hire Carl to investigate, but only to find some online shopping records.


    Armstrong already felt that he had made a loss by paying so much money. However, Carl¡¯s next words made Armstrong change his mind again.


    ¡°Knives. He bought a lot of knives, all kinds of knives.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡± Armstrong was silent for a moment. He now felt that his 10 million was worth it.


    Putnam was actually secretly buying knives online behind everyone¡¯s back?


    What did he want to do? Armstrong did not dare to think about it.


    He was even a little worried that he might be cut open by Putnam while he was sleeping one night.


    Although Putnam had been in Section S for a long time, Armstrong suddenly found that he knew very little about Putnam.


    Putnam had been known as a man of few words ever since he entered Section S. He even rarely communicated with others.


    Most of Armstrong¡¯s understanding of Putnam came from some rumors in the criminal circle.


    Proficient in all weapons, able to kill any target perfectly, killing without the slightest hesitation. This was the entire description of Putnam in the criminal circle. Other than that, there was no more information.


    ¡°So, that guy wants to kill me?¡±


    ¡°I can¡¯t rule out this possibility.¡± Carl still looked relaxed, and he was even in the mood to tease Armstrong.


    Armstrong swallowed his saliva, and a hint of panic appeared on his face. For Armstrong, if such a monster became an enemy, it would be a very terrifying thing.


    After all, he was just a gambler. No matter how much money he had, it was won at the gambling table. He could be said to be ignorant of other aspects of technology.


    In his situation, facing a world-class killer, there was absolutely no chance of survival.


    ¡°What should I do now? If he really wants to kill me, I¡¯m dead for sure!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not like there¡¯s no way out.¡± Carl shrugged his shoulders and continued to joke, ¡°maybe before he kills you, he¡¯ll propose a bet with you? If you win, you¡¯ll live or something.¡±


    ¡°Really? Then I¡¯ll definitely bet with him on poker. This is what I¡¯m best at.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡±


    ¡°¡­¡±


    Li Zhuo and Carl looked at each other in silence.


    This guy was really an idiot!


    This guy must be an idiot!!


    This was obviously a joke. Why would this guy take it seriously!!


    The two of them were silent for a moment, but they saw Armstrong mumbling nervously, ¡°no, no, this can¡¯t go on. I can¡¯t continue to wait for death like this.¡±


    ¡°What do you want to do?¡±Carl looked at Armstrong in confusion.


    ¡°I have to ask Henry for help,¡± Armstrong gulped and said.


    With that, Armstrong hurried forward as if he was going to leave the place.


    Hearing this, Li Zhuo was slightly stunned.


    Ask Henry for help? Did this mean that he wanted Henry to make the poison and then seize the opportunity before Putnam made his move?


    Li Zhuo was about to say something, but Carl took the initiative to move aside and let Armstrong leave the corridor.


    Li Zhuo watched Armstrong walk away, then he leaned over to Carl¡¯s ear and asked curiously, ¡°aren¡¯t you on good terms with Putnam? Aren¡¯t you worried that he wants Henry to make a lethal poison to kill Putnam?¡±


    ¡°He won¡¯t do that. That guy has never killed or hurt anyone.¡±


    ¡°Ah?¡± Li Zhuo was stunned again.


    ¡°At the welcoming ceremony, didn¡¯t he say that if I didn¡¯t find evidence of him cheating when I rang the bell, he would chop off my hands?¡±


    This detail clearly showed that Armstrong was a very brutal guy.


    However, Carl had a stifled smile on his face. ¡°Those, those were all his bragging. In order to make others not dare to say that he cheated easily. In fact, he hasn¡¯t even held a knife before. He¡¯s a real softie.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡± At this moment, Li Zhuo felt that Armstrong¡¯s persona had completely collapsed.


    While he was in a daze, Li Zhuo noticed Carl looking at him with a wicked smile. ¡°Leader, I think this matter is quite interesting. Let¡¯s follow him and take a look.¡±


    ¡°Hey, hey, hey, why are you calling me leader?¡±


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you the leader of the Investigate what exactly did Putnam bring to the S District Task Force?¡±


    ¡°¡­¡±


    How did you manage to accurately recite such a long and random ass name?!

 Chapter 15

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Carl had refused to join the ¡®Investigate what exactly did Putnam bring to the S District Task Force¡¯.


    However, now that he wanted to join, Li Zhuo had no reason to refuse. After all, only by completing this matter could Li Zhuo get the remaining 2.5 million. Therefore, the more people who helped him, the better.


    When the two of them arrived at the recreation room, there were only Alsop and Alan left. The two of them were sitting on the sofa and playing the combat PK game seriously.


    The others were not in the recreation room, and no one knew where they went.


    ¡°What should we do? Should we check the surveillance records to see where they went? It shouldn¡¯t be difficult for you to check the surveillance records, right?¡±


    Li Zhuo looked at Carl and asked as if it was a matter of course.


    However, the child took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket. ¡°It¡¯s indeed not difficult for me to check the surveillance records, but there are no surveillance cameras in Section S. So, we have to find other ways¡­ do you want half of the chocolate?¡±


    ¡°No, thanks.¡± Li Zhuo rejected Carl¡¯s kind offer.


    Li Zhuo knew very well that he would have to find an opportunity to escape from prison in the future.


    In order to ensure that he would have good physical strength to support his escape, he had to eat as little as possible of the food that would make him fat. The desire for freedom and survival could often improve one¡¯s perseverance.


    Li Zhuo was the first to walk towards Alsop and Allen, followed closely by Carl.


    When Li Zhuo came to the sofa, the PK game had just ended. Alsop put down the game controller in her hand in annoyance and complained to Alan. ¡°Can¡¯t you give me some leeway? It¡¯s so boring if you try hard every time.¡±


    ¡°This is the respect I have for my opponent as a player. Your ¡®Kabi¡¯ still needs some practice. If it really doesn¡¯t work, I suggest you play that guy who repairs water pipes in the future.¡±


    The two of them were discussing the content of the game just now. Li Zhuo waited for a long time without interrupting. He felt that this seemed a little impolite.


    However, Carl, who was a child, did not care about this at all. ¡°Do you two want to eat chocolate?¡±


    Although this kid¡¯s IQ was very high, his EQ did not seem to be that high.


    Alsop turned around, glanced at Carl, and frowned. ¡°Forget about the chocolate. I seem to have gained weight recently. If I continue to eat it, I might become a pig.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, you¡¯ve already become a pig,¡± Alan teased with a smile.


    ¡°It¡¯s not very polite to make such a joke to a lady!¡± Alsop glared at Alan.


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter to me.¡± Alan smiled and took the chocolate from Carl.


    Of course, this was not really malicious, and Alsop would not be really angry.


    At this seemingly inappropriate time, Carl interrupted them again. ¡°Do you know where the others went?¡±


    ¡°The others? If you¡¯re talking about Armstrong, he seems to be looking for Henry. We don¡¯t know where Henry and Putnam went either.¡±


    ¡°Okay, thank you.¡± Li Zhuo nodded.


    Carl thought for a moment before replying. ¡°Henry sometimes likes to stay in his laboratory to make new potions. Should we go there and look for them?¡±


    ¡°Good idea.¡± Li Zhuo nodded with a smile.


    Listening to their conversation, Alsop and Alan looked at each other and saw a trace of curiosity in each other¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°Hey, didn¡¯t you say that you don¡¯t plan to join the Investigate what exactly did Putnam bring to the S District Task Force?¡± Alsop asked Carl curiously.


    The corners of Li Zhuo¡¯s eyes twitched. Why did everyone like to recite the full name of this strange task force?!


    Carl revealed a mysterious smile. ¡°That¡¯s because this matter has become interesting.¡±


    ¡°It became interesting?¡± Alsop¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Tell me about it?¡±


    Alan also revealed an intrigued expression and quietly waited for Carl¡¯s answer.


    Looking at the expressions of the two, Carl revealed a wicked smile and extended a finger.


    Li Zhuo was slightly stunned. This kid would not ask for another 10 million ¡®intelligence fee¡¯ right!


    ¡°Give me 100 yuan and I¡¯ll tell you.¡±


    ¡°Hey, hey, hey, that¡¯s too much. Why is it 10 million for Armstrong, and 100 for the two of them! This is clearly bullying Armstrong!!¡±


    Li Zhuo was completely shocked. The difference was too big!


    ¡°Of course there¡¯s a big difference. Armstrong asked me to complete a high-difficulty mission, so the fee will naturally be slightly more expensive.¡±


    There was no difference between the two. He was clearly selling the same information!!


    Li Zhuo complained silently in his heart. He did not want his complaints to delay their progress too much.


    The next moment, Alsop took out her phone from her sleeve and tapped on the screen a few times with her finger.


    Soon, Carl received a 100 yuan transfer.


    Aaron did the same thing. Obviously, for these two top criminals, a hundred yuan was not expensive to buy interesting information. This information might not be of much use to them in the end.


    After Carl confirmed that the money had been transferred, he nodded in satisfaction. ¡°Just now, Armstrong asked me to check Putnam¡¯s online shopping records. Guess what he bought?¡±


    ¡°Chainsaw? Bazooka?¡±


    ¡°Zombie virus?¡±


    ¡°Hey, hey, hey, why did you think of such a terrifying thing? Can bazookas be bought online?! Also, zombie virus is too ridiculous!!¡± Li Zhuo could not help but complain again.


    Carl did not have much of a reaction to the two¡¯s guess. Instead, he spoke mysteriously. ¡°He bought knives. A lot of different kinds of knives!¡±


    Hearing this answer, Alsop and Allen looked at each other again, then turned around and picked up the handle.


    ¡°I thought he bought something. With Putnam¡¯s job, it¡¯s normal to buy a knife, right?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s so boring. He should have bought a zombie virus.¡±


    ¡°Hey, hey, hey, stop talking about zombie virus. How can you buy such a thing?¡±


    Carl seemed to be a little disappointed when he saw that the two of them were not interested, but he was not willing to give up so easily.


    He jumped lightly, leaned on the back of the sofa, and stuck himself between their heads. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter what Putnam bought. The important thing is that Armstrong is very scared now. He suspects that Putnam might want to kill him for what happened today, so he is trying to find Henry to help.¡±


    Hearing this, Alsop and Alan put down the controllers again, showing their interest again.


    ¡°Armstrong is worried that Putnam will kill him? That¡¯s interesting. I¡¯ll go with you to take a look.¡±


    ¡°So Armstrong wants to find Henry to create a zombie virus to fight back?¡±


    ¡°I told you there¡¯s no zombie virus in this world!¡±

 Chapter 16

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    After passing through the long corridor and arriving outside Henry¡¯s laboratory, the few of them could clearly hear the conversation between Henry and Armstrong.


    ¡°Please, you must help me.¡± Armstrong¡¯s tone sounded a little anxious. He did not have the calm and confidence that he had when he was at the gambling table.


    The few people in the corridor looked at each other and entered the laboratory together.


    Henry, who was wearing special thick glasses, did not pay attention to Armstrong. Instead, he was focused on adjusting the potion in front of him.


    He seriously dripped the blue liquid in the dropper into the white liquid in the beaker in front of him. The next moment, the two liquids mixed together and immediately turned red.


    ¡°No matter how many times I look at it, I feel that potions made by Henry are really incredible.¡± Alan could not help but exclaim in admiration.


    Alan took the initiative to come to Armstrong¡¯s side and asked, ¡°how is the conversation between you and Henry going?¡±


    ¡°You already know? Henry hasn¡¯t answered me yet.¡±


    ¡°That guy is like this. When he¡¯s in the middle of an experiment, he ignores everyone. Just waited quietly for a while.¡±


    As soon as Alan finished speaking, Henry had already carefully poured the liquid in the beaker into a special cup for preservation. He carefully sealed it and placed it on the shelf next to him.


    After cleaning the beaker meticulously, he carefully took off his gloves and glasses. He looked at Armstrong and said, ¡°you want me to help you? You have to pay.¡±


    After saying that, he stretched out two fingers.


    When Li Zhuo saw this scene, he muttered in his heart again.


    Do the people in Section S have to charge for everything? Moreover, asking for two million was too expensive.


    ¡°You only need to pay me 20 million, and that would be enough.¡±


    So it was 20 million!!


    20 million was too expensive!!


    Also, what did he mean by ¡®only need¡¯ and ¡®enough¡¯!!


    ¡°No problem!¡± Armstrong nodded with a serious face.


    Hey, hey, hey, why did you agree without any hesitation? This is 20 million we¡¯re talking about!!


    How f*cking rich are you!?


    The corner of Li Zhuo¡¯s eyes twitched twice, and he looked at Carl who was beside him.


    The same thought arose in their minds, ¡°f*ck, we asked for too little money!¡±


    Just as the two of them were cursing in their hearts, Henry smiled and asked, ¡°it¡¯s much easier if you¡¯re willing to pay. I¡¯ll definitely help you solve the problem.¡±


    ¡°What did you say just now¡­ Putnam might want to kill you, so you want to buy some useful medicine from me, right?¡±


    Armstrong nodded as he took out his phone and transferred 20 million to Henry.


    Li Zhuo did not know how he could mobilize such a large amount of money in a short period of time, but from this point, it could be seen that Armstrong was indeed not a simple idiot.


    After confirming that the 20 million had been transferred, Henry put away his phone in satisfaction and took out the medicine that he had sealed earlier.


    ¡°You might need this medicine, I just developed it.¡±


    ¡°The effect is very simple. It can turn people into zombies¡­¡±


    ¡°Hey, hey, hey, you just said something really scary!¡±


    ¡°Why is there really such a thing as a zombie potion?! What are you researching every day?¡±


    Li Zhuo was completely shocked.


    However, Alsop nodded seriously and said, ¡°as expected of the strongest pharmacist in the world. I told you that you should use the zombie potion.¡±


    ¡°Your priorities are so strange!¡±


    ¡°This is not the time to praise him!!¡±


    Armstrong looked at the red potion and hesitated for a moment. ¡°Well, give me another potion¡­¡±


    Li Zhuo was slightly stunned when he heard this and looked at Armstrong. Armstrong looked hesitant and worried.


    Li Zhuo nodded secretly. It seemed that Carl was right. This guy was actually quite kind. He did not intend to kill Putnam.


    Maybe there would be a gentle solution¡­


    ¡°If Putnam turns into a zombie, won¡¯t we be in danger too?¡± Armstrong asked.


    ¡°So that¡¯s what you¡¯re worried about!!¡± Li Zhuo was shocked again.


    ¡°What you said makes sense. Let¡¯s change to another one.¡± Henry immediately agreed with Armstrong¡¯s point and took back the zombie potion.


    ¡°Hey, hey, hey, so you really don¡¯t have any follow-up protection measures?!¡±


    ¡°If Armstrong, that idiot, doesn¡¯t think about this, we¡¯ll have to live with zombie Putnam!!¡±


    Lee Zhuo was furious, but Alsop showed a disappointed expression. ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to use the zombie potion? What a pity¡­¡±


    ¡°Why are you so obsessed with the zombie potion? Didn¡¯t you hear that this thing is dangerous?!¡±


    Henry picked out another bottle of potion from the shelf and spoke seriously. ¡°Use this. This can temporarily turn humans into sheep.¡±


    Hey, hey, hey, is this really within the scope of ¡®potions¡¯? Are you sure this isn¡¯t magic? This is obviously magic!


    This is clearly copying the sheep transformation spell of ¡®World of Warcraft¡¯!


    Is it really okay to turn Putnam into a sheep for just an uncertain matter?!


    At this time, Armstrong once again showed hesitation, and Li Zhuo let out a sigh of relief.


    It turned out that Armstrong did not want to do it this way. After all, Putnam might not really want to kill Armstrong.


    It seemed that Armstrong still cared about his friend Putnam¡­


    ¡°I don¡¯t like sheep,¡± Armstrong said worriedly.


    So that¡¯s what you care about!!


    What do you mean you don¡¯t like sheep!!


    Is this really the main point?!


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter, I was just joking.¡±


    Li Zhuo heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°So it was a joke.¡±


    Henry smiled slightly and placed the potion back on the shelf. Then, he picked up another potion. ¡°I don¡¯t like sheep either. Change this potion, it can turn people into monkeys.¡±


    ¡°Hey, hey, hey, so the joke you¡¯re talking about is the function of the potion?!¡±


    ¡°So these potions can really turn a person into a sheep!¡±


    ¡°Even if you turn him into a monkey, it won¡¯t work!¡±


    Beside him, Aaron also nodded in agreement. ¡°I also think it¡¯s better to change it to the monkey potion.¡±


    ¡°I already said it won¡¯t work even if you turn him into a monkey!¡±


    Alsop revealed a disappointed expression once again. ¡°I feel that sheep is better¡­¡±


    ¡°I already said that the main point isn¡¯t to choose a sheep or a monkey!!¡±


    Carl, who had been silent the entire time, chewed on the chocolate and finally spoke with a frown. ¡°That¡­ I think it¡¯s better not to use this method to solve the problem.¡±


    When Li Zhuo saw Carl speak, he finally heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that there were still normal people in Section S.


    ¡°If Putnam had turned into a monkey, he might have gone to the beach to find a coconut to throw at us.¡±


    ¡°Is that what you¡¯re worried about?!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s painful to be hit by a coconut.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s not the main point, is it?!¡±


    Li Zhuo finally could not hold it in any longer. He took a step forward and said, ¡°can¡¯t we use a simpler method? For example, sleeping pills and the like. That way, we can investigate thoroughly while Putnam is asleep.¡±


    As soon as Li Zhuo finished speaking, everyone turned to look at Li Zhuo.


    ¡°This method of yours is too awesome!¡±


    Awesome my ass! Isn¡¯t this the simplest method!?

 Chapter 17

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    By the time he came out of the lab, the Investigate what exactly did Putnam bring to the S District Task Force had grown from four to five members.


    Armstrong, the employer, had gotten Henry¡¯s help and returned to the team with the sleeping pills.


    Henry himself had stayed in the lab to make the pills.


    In his words, ¡°I¡¯m not interested in this.¡±


    However, even though Henry was not interested, there were still people who were interested. At least, other than Li Zhuo, everyone else was interested.


    ¡°Team leader, what should we do next?¡± Alsop leaned behind Li Zhuo curiously and asked in a low voice.


    Feeling the two soft objects touching his back, Li Zhuo silently accelerated half a step forward and pulled away from Alsop.


    ¡°Let¡¯s find Putnam¡¯s location first,¡± Li Zhuo said. He did not realize that he had subconsciously accepted the title of team leader.


    In fact, it was not that Li Zhuo was better than the others. It was just that the investigation naturally had to be done by someone with a strong intelligence system and a higher IQ.


    Although Carl also met this standard, his hacking skills could only play a very small role in this investigation. Therefore, Li Zhuo was more suitable.


    Of course, the most important thing was that the other three people besides Armstrong were very curious about how Li Zhuo planned to deal with the matter that Armstrong had entrusted to him.


    In order to speed up the progress so that things would become more interesting, Alan took the initiative to say, ¡°Putnam likes to stay in the gym most of the time.¡±


    ¡°Most of the time?¡± Li Zhuo was a little puzzled.


    That was because when he came to Section S, he saw that he was playing beach volleyball most of the time.


    Alan seemed to immediately understand Li Zhuo¡¯s doubts. ¡°Beach volleyball is a new entertainment that we have recently. Before that, he spent the most time in the gym,¡± Alan said with a smile.


    Li Zhuo nodded. He turned right at the next intersection and walked in the direction of the gym.


    Alsop, who was about to provide directions to Li Zhuo, was slightly stunned.


    When did this kid remember the structure of Section S? He even remembered where the gym was that he had never been to before?


    However, when she thought of Li Zhuo¡¯s observation and memory, Alsop shut her mouth and did not say anything.


    Just because others could not do it, it did not mean that Li Zhuo could not do it.


    Alsop, who was following behind, revealed a smile. She really wanted to see how Li Zhuo would help Armstrong out of his predicament.


    ¡­


    Li Zhuo¡¯s light footsteps echoed in the corridor. The others seemed to have their own ways to hide their footsteps, but only Li Zhuo did not have this kind of skill.


    After all, he was not a criminal, he was just an ordinary student.


    However, after a while, even the last light footsteps in the corridor disappeared, because Li Zhuo stopped.


    When Li Zhuo stopped, everyone followed. Although they did not know why Li Zhuo suddenly stopped, they still followed his lead.


    Not far from the corridor was the door of the gym. It was not too far from where they had stopped, but it was not too close either.


    After waiting for an unknown amount of time, Armstrong could no longer hold it in. He took the initiative to ask in a low voice, ¡°team leader, why don¡¯t we go over?¡±


    Li Zhuo turned his head and looked at Armstrong with a sidelong glance. ¡°What do you plan to do after we go over?¡±


    Armstrong was slightly stunned when he heard this.


    Yes, what do we do after we go there? We can¡¯t just directly inject the drug given by Henry into Putnam¡¯s body through a syringe, can we?


    If they really wanted to do that, the five people here together would not be able to carry it out.


    Moreover, there were quite a few people in the team who only wanted to watch the show and did not want to contribute. Armstrong was very clear about this.


    Thinking of this, Armstrong asked in a low voice, ¡°then¡­ What should we do next?¡±


    Li Zhuo was silent for a moment.


    ¡°Go back.¡±


    ¡°Go back?¡± Hearing this, Armstrong subconsciously raised his voice.


    If it were not for Li Zhuo glaring at him, he might have continued to speak loudly.


    Although he shut his mouth, Armstrong was still very puzzled. He had walked all the way here and did not do anything. He did not even enter the gym, but he actually wanted to go back just like that?


    However, Li Zhuo did not seem to intend to explain anything. He just turned around and repeated in a low voice, ¡°go back.¡±


    The other four people looked at each other and saw the doubt in each other¡¯s eyes. However, in the end, they did not say anything and could only do as they were told.


    So, the team started moving in the opposite direction again in the corridor.


    Only this time, Li Zhuo walked at the back of the team.


    He heard faint footsteps coming from the corridor again, and they were getting farther and farther away.


    The expressionless Putnam opened his eyes again.


    He did not sweat at all, and his clothes were the prison uniform he usually wore. He did not change into the prison uniform he used to wear when he worked out.


    Putnam¡¯s eyes looked calmly at the door of the gym.


    The japanese-style kitchen knife in his hand was reflecting a faint light under the light of the gym.


    ¡­


    When the five of them returned to the recreation room, Armstrong returned to his usual volume and complained.


    ¡°Team leader, we went to the gym. Why did we come back without doing anything?¡±


    ¡°If you don¡¯t have any good ideas, I can find someone else to be the team leader. The money I gave you doesn¡¯t need to be refunded to me.¡±


    It could be seen that Armstrong had a lot of money. It was so much that it seemed like he would never run out of it in his lifetime. However, he was not really a fool.


    Armstrong did not mind spending money, but this was not a small matter. If he did not handle it well, he might lose his life. He had to be careful.


    If Li Zhuo could not solve this task perfectly, Armstrong would rather find Carl to be the team leader. It did not matter even if he had to pay another sum of money.


    Li Zhuo glanced at Armstrong, who was sitting on the sofa with a dissatisfied expression, and said softly, ¡°didn¡¯t you guys notice anything wrong just now?¡±


    Hearing this, the other four people looked at each other again.


    ¡°Something wrong?¡± Armstrong asked in puzzlement.


    At this time, Alan had been watching the show without saying anything.


    ¡°It¡¯s the sound. The gym is too quiet,¡± Alan finally said. He seemed to have noticed something long ago, but he did not take the initiative to say it because he was watching the show.


    Li Zhuo nodded. ¡°That¡¯s right. If Putnam was really in the gym, it wouldn¡¯t be so quiet.


    ¡°So there are only two possibilities. He was doing something else in the gym, or he noticed someone approaching the gym and stopped what he was doing.¡±


    ¡°Imagine what would happen if we went in at that time..¡±

 Chapter 18

    Thinking of this, Armstrong felt a lingering fear.


    However, he still could not help but ask, ¡°maybe he just happened to be resting halfway through his workout?¡±


    After this question was raised, the others looked at Li Zhuo.


    Li Zhuo¡¯s gaze was still calm. ¡°It¡¯s the same if he really just happened to be resting halfway through his workout. It would be the same for the second situation.¡±


    ¡°Do you think he won¡¯t hear my footsteps when he¡¯s resting quietly?¡±


    ¡°¡­¡± Armstrong did not say anything this time.


    Although it was Li Zhuo¡¯s footsteps that exposed everyone¡¯s whereabouts, he did not have any reason to blame Li Zhuo.


    After all, if it was not for Li Zhuo, he might have directly pushed open the door of the gym. He did not dare to be sure what he would encounter at that time.


    At this moment, Li Zhuo looked at Alan. ¡°Alan, come with me to a place. I need your help.¡±


    With that said, he took the initiative to walk out of the room.


    Armstrong was silent for a moment when he heard this. He had already placed his hand in the pocket of his prison uniform, waiting for Alan to ask him for money at any time.


    However, what surprised him was that this did not happen.


    Alan stood up with a smile and followed Li Zhuo¡¯s footsteps out of the entertainment room. Seeing this scene, Armstrong was slightly stunned.


    ¡°Alan actually did not ask for money? What¡¯s going on?¡±


    Alsop looked at Armstrong as if he was looking at a fool and sighed. ¡°Didn¡¯t you notice that this time, when Li Zhuo walked, there was no sound of footsteps at all?¡±


    ¡°He just followed us for a while and he actually learned the skill¡­ I¡¯m afraid there¡¯s no one else in the world who has this kind of learning ability.¡±


    Having said that, Alsop smiled slightly and took out a diet drink from the refrigerator in the recreation room.


    She was very clear that Alan was already interested in Li Zhuo.


    As for how she knew this¡­ She and Alan had the same feeling.


    She was also looking forward to what kind of surprise Li Zhuo¡¯s next move would bring to everyone.


    ¡­


    Outside the corridor, Allen followed Li Zhuo step by step without any change in expression.


    If it was not for the intertwined lights at the top of the corridor that continuously stretched their figures from front to back, perhaps no one would have been able to hear that there was someone walking in the corridor.


    ¡°Were you deliberately hiding just now?¡± Alan suddenly asked.


    ¡°Hiding what?¡±


    ¡°The skill of moving silently,¡± Alan asked directly.


    This direct question was like a switch, making Alan spit out a lot of words.


    ¡°You said before that you were just an ordinary student, but now you know this special skill. I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s a bit contradictory, right?¡±


    Alan¡¯s words sounded like a question, but in reality, there was no malice in them. His tone was also casual, just like a normal conversation between friends.


    Li Zhuo did not seem to panic at Alan¡¯s analysis. As he continued to walk forward, he said in the calmest and most natural tone, ¡°This is what I learned just now.¡±


    ¡°Just now? When?¡± There was a hint of surprise in Allen¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°When we turned back from the gym.¡±


    Hearing Li Zhuo¡¯s words, Alan remembered.


    When they went to the gym, Li Zhuo was walking in front, but when they turned back, Li Zhuo was walking behind.


    From there to the recreation room¡­ It took about three minutes.


    Three minutes was enough for a person to master this skill?


    The surprise in Alan¡¯s eyes changed into confusion. One had to know that he had spent two months learning this skill.


    Even so, the ¡®teacher¡¯ who taught him this skill once said that he learned it very quickly. For a normal person to completely master this ability to the point where they would not make a single mistake, it might take two years.


    At that time, Allen still had a trace of pride. However, now, the pride in Allen¡¯s heart had completely disappeared.


    This youth in front of him learned faster than him. The prerequisite was that he did not lie.


    Just as Alan was thinking about this, Li Zhuo¡¯s footsteps stopped. He pointed to a door beside him. ¡°Open it.¡±


    Allen was slightly stunned, and he could not help but frown. ¡°Do you know what the consequences are?¡±


    ¡°I know, there are no consequences.¡± Li Zhuo¡¯s tone was still calm.


    However, this time, Alan did not immediately carry out the order of this ¡®team leader¡¯.


    He continued. ¡°You should know what room this is, right?¡±


    ¡°I know, Putnam¡¯s Room.¡±


    ¡°You still want to open it even if you know? If he finds out that someone opened his room, don¡¯t you know the consequences?¡±


    ¡°I said, there won¡¯t be any consequences.¡±


    Li Zhuo¡¯s tone was as calm as the surface of an empty swimming pool, without any ripples.


    Alan hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he took out an iron wire from his sleeve and walked to Putnam¡¯s door. He muttered, ¡°if anything happens, I will immediately betray you.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, nothing will happen.¡± There was even a hint of a smile in Li Zhuo¡¯s tone. This was a sign of confidence.


    In just three seconds, the door lock was unlocked, and Alan stepped aside from the door. The meaning of this action was obvious. He did not intend to enter the room.


    After all, why would a thief want to anger a killer?


    Picking the lock was not a particularly difficult task. An ordinary thief could take a little more time to open it, so Alan could be cleared of the crime of picking the lock. He did not have to worry about Putnam¡¯s revenge.


    If something really happened, he could just push all the blame onto Li Zhuo.


    However, just as Alan was waiting for Li Zhuo to make a move, Li Zhuo stood outside the door and did not make a move.


    Alan looked at the youth in front of him curiously, as if he wanted to see through the other party¡¯s thoughts. Unfortunately, he did not have the ability of Alsop.


    After all, he was not a swindler, he was just a thief. Even the world¡¯s top thieves could not do this.


    After waiting for about ten seconds, Li Zhuo finally stepped into the room.


    ¡°Come in, It¡¯s okay.¡±


    Alan curled his lips and asked, ¡°How can you be sure that it¡¯s okay? What if Putnam finds out?¡±


    Although he said so, his body still obediently moved from the door to the position of the door, so that it was more convenient to observe Li Zhuo¡¯s movements.


    Li Zhuo glanced at the layout of the room and explained, ¡°I looked at the door just now. The floor of the room was wiped clean and there was no dust left.¡±


    ¡°I can see that Putnam likes to be clean, but this way, we won¡¯t leave any footprints.¡±


    Hearing Li Zhuo¡¯s words, Alan was slightly stunned.


    Li Zhuo had not turned on the lights in the room just now.


    Just by relying on the lights in the corridor, could he confirm whether there was dust in the room?


    What exactly were this kid¡¯s brain and eyes made of?

 Chapter 19

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Li Zhuo did not pay attention to the surprised Alan, nor did he intend to explain anything to him.


    That was because he knew that his time was very precious now!


    Putnam could return at any time, and it was very uncertain. Li Zhuo needed to use the fastest possible speed to inspect this room, gather the information he needed to know, and then quickly leave this place.


    After all, uncertain time was the shortest time!


    Under Alan¡¯s gaze, Li Zhuo reached out to touch the pillow on Putnam¡¯s bed and lifted it.


    Seeing this, Alan¡¯s expression became strange. He did not know why Li Zhuo did this, but he knew very well that this was a very dangerous thing.


    As a thief, he knew very well that when stealing, he should try not to touch anything, because it was very difficult to restore these things to their original position.


    In the eyes of ordinary people, Alan could appear to restore everything in the room to its original position. However, this so-called restoration was not 100% accurate.


    As the world¡¯s number one killer, Putnam could certainly see some differences. In other words, they might be discovered soon after sneaking into Putnam¡¯s room.


    Alan already had the intention to back down. He wanted to quit the operation. It was not worth it to lose his life just to have fun and watch a good show.


    However, the next second, he froze on the spot, because he clearly saw that Li Zhuo had put the pillow back in its original position. Also, it was exactly the same as the original position and appearance of the pillow!


    In the true sense of the word, it was exactly the same, perfectly restored!


    ¡°You¡­¡± Alan opened his mouth, but he was too shocked to finish his words.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? There¡¯s nothing under the pillow, so I put it back. Is there a problem?¡± Li Zhuo said matter-of-factly.


    ¡°No, no, no, of course, there¡¯s no problem putting it back. What I want to ask is, how did you restore this pillow to be exactly the same as before?¡±


    ¡°Is it difficult? I just put it back the way it was before I picked it up. It¡¯s not like there¡¯s no reference.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡± Alan stopped talking.


    This feeling was like a straight-A student saying to you, ¡®is it difficult to get an A? Everything you need is in the books. I just answered the questions¡¯.


    It was a bad feeling for Alan, but it soon disappeared.


    He stood aside and watched Li Zhuo pick up or mess up the things in the room one by one and restore them one by one.


    Although Li Zhuo¡¯s method of investigation was a little clumsy, it was clear that he was not a skilled ¡®thief¡¯. However, his restoration skills were really strong!


    These things looked as if they had never been touched. In Alan¡¯s eyes, this process was simply an act of art.


    Perfect!


    This was a kind of enjoyment!


    After being busy for about three minutes, Li Zhuo stopped what he was doing and slowly retreated to the door.


    When Alan saw this scene, he understood that it was time for them to leave. He carefully retreated behind Li Zhuo and waited quietly.


    Meanwhile, Li Zhuo just stood there motionlessly, quietly watching the scene in the room.


    It was not until ten seconds later that he turned to look at Alan. ¡°Restore the door lock.¡±


    Alan glanced at Li Zhuo and nodded. Then, he took out the iron wire from his sleeve again and inserted it into the lock.


    Two seconds later, the door of Putnam¡¯s room was locked again. The two of them left quietly.


    At the corner at the end of the corridor, the two of them entered the beverage room in Section S.


    Li Zhuo sat on the sofa.


    This time, Alan unexpectedly took the initiative to brew two cups of coffee. One had to know that he usually preferred to be the one sitting and waiting.


    ¡°Do you want sugar?¡±


    ¡°No, thank you.¡±


    Soon, the two cups of hot instant coffee were ready.


    They could have asked Wilson to come over and brew a pot of fragrant hand-ground coffee. That way, the coffee would taste better.


    However, they obviously could not let Wilson know about their subsequent discussion.


    ¡°Li Zhuo, did you find anything?¡± Alan naturally sat next to Li Zhuo and asked curiously.


    After leaving Putnam¡¯s room, Alan returned to his relaxed state at the beginning. He was very sure that Putnam would absolutely not discover what had happened in his room.


    However, Li Zhuo shook his head slightly and said, ¡°there are no clues. It¡¯s no different from an ordinary person¡¯s room.¡±


    Hearing this, Alan became much happier. Originally, when he saw how strong Li Zhuo¡¯s recovery ability was, he felt a little uncomfortable. After all, he was the strongest thief in the world. How could he be defeated by an ordinary student?


    Although he did not know what Li Zhuo wanted to investigate in Putnam¡¯s room, Li Zhuo did not find anything. This really helped Alan feel a sense of balance in his heart.


    However, he quickly realized that he should not be thinking like this. Should he be happy because Li Zhuo failed? This kind of mentality was too despicable.


    Alan quickly adjusted his state of mind so that he did not have this kind of thought anymore.


    He did not realize that he had unknowingly treated Li Zhuo as a kind of opponent. He said softly, ¡°it doesn¡¯t matter even if there¡¯s no harvest. At least Putnam doesn¡¯t know that we¡¯ve been there, so there¡¯s no danger for us.¡±


    Alan smiled and took a sip of his coffee, but Li Zhuo turned his head and looked at him calmly.


    This made him feel a little anxious. For the first time, he felt that the way the youth in front of him looked at him was like looking at a fool.


    ¡°Carl said before that Putnam bought a lot of knives, but we haven¡¯t found these knives in Putnam¡¯s room. Do you think this is good news?¡±


    Hearing Li Zhuo¡¯s words, Alan was stunned.


    Putnam bought a lot of knives, but there were not any in his room.


    Then, where did these knives go?


    Also, what were the uses of the knives?


    Alan¡¯s face suddenly turned ugly. This was indeed not good news!


    Alan immediately put down the disposable paper cup in his hand, then stood up and paced back and forth in the recreation room.


    After a while, he looked at Li Zhuo seriously and said, ¡°we have to go to the recreation room to find them now. My intuition tells me that this is matter is not as simple as it seems.¡±


    If Putnam did not have any special purpose in buying a knife, then there was no need for him to hide the knife. Since he had hidden it, then Putnam must have something to hide from everyone.


    Perhaps Armstrong¡¯s worries would be true!


    This was originally just a joke in everyone¡¯s eyes. No one really thought that Putnam wanted to kill Armstrong. However, now, it had to be taken seriously!


    With that, Alan was ready to leave the beverage room. He did not think he could waste any more time.


    However, at that moment, the door of the beverage room was suddenly opened from the outside.


    A tall figure appeared outside the door.


    Putnam!

 Chapter 20 - Fainting Sheep

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    At this moment, Alan¡¯s muscles seemed to tense up. He stood still and did not dare to move at all.


    Meanwhile, Li Zhuo was still sitting on the sofa with an expressionless face, as if did not have any reaction to Putnam¡¯s arrival.


    Putnam looked at Alan with a hint of doubt in his eyes. However, soon, he put down his doubt and walked into the beverage room.


    Putnam did not think too much, because he knew that it would be the same for anyone else.


    Just as he was about to leave the room, someone suddenly pushed the door open.


    At this time, any professional would be ready for battle. Those who did not react at all were either confident or a simple rookie.


    Putnam did not say anything. He just silently walked to the bar counter and picked up the walkie-talkie on the bar counter. ¡°A cup of hand-ground coffee. I want Brazilian coffee beans.¡±


    After saying that, he sat on the chair in front of the bar counter and closed his eyes to rest.


    Seeing that Putnam did not communicate with them, Alan sneaked a glance at Li Zhuo. Just now, even an expert like him became nervous, but Li Zhuo did not have the slightest reaction.


    At this moment, it was very difficult for Alan to distinguish which kind of situation this young man was in.


    It was clearly more likely that he was a ¡®rookie¡¯, but Alan saw Li Zhuo¡¯s expression. From the beginning to the end, there was not the slightest change.


    Was this guy really an ordinary person?


    Li Zhuo noticed Alan¡¯s gaze, and he said calmly, ¡°let¡¯s go to the recreation room.¡±


    Alan was slightly stunned. Only then did he realize that he had planned to go to the recreation room just now. However, because of Putnam¡¯s sudden appearance, he had forgotten about it for a moment.


    ¡°Okay.¡± Alan replied in a flat tone. Before he left, he glanced at Putnam again to make sure that he was not observing him. Only then did he leave the beverage room with Li Zhuo.


    After closing the door of the beverage room, the two of them walked in the corridor in silence, not saying a word.


    Alan wanted to make sure that any conversation would not be heard by Putnam.


    In fact, he was worried that the conversation in the beverage room might have been heard by Putnam. If that was the case, Putnam would probably know that he and Li Zhuo were investigating him.


    This was not good news.


    After walking for a long distance, Alan finally voiced out the worry in his heart. ¡°Li, do you think Putnam heard what we said just now?¡±


    ¡°No,¡± Li Zhuo said calmly.


    ¡°Why?¡± Alan was slightly stunned. He did not expect Li Zhuo to give him such an answer, and it was in a very positive tone.


    ¡°Because he was wearing wireless headphones, and the headphones were playing music.¡±


    Li Zhuo¡¯s tone was still calm.


    ¡°I also saw the headphones, but maybe the headphones were not playing music. We can¡¯t be sure about that!¡±


    Alan frowned slightly. He felt that this young man in front of him was really too immature. Wearing headphones did not mean that he was definitely listening to music!


    However, Li Zhuo once again used a very certain tone to say, ¡°no, he must be listening to music.¡±


    ¡°Your words are completely groundless. It¡¯s impossible for you to hear the music in his headphones.¡±


    Alan¡¯s brows furrowed even more tightly. He even felt that Li Zhuo was deliberately thinking in an optimistic direction.


    Almost everything in Section S was the best in the world, and the headphones that Putnam wore were naturally the best.


    Outsiders would not be able to hear the music in the headphones, so it was impossible to tell if the headphones were playing music.


    However, Li Zhuo calmly explained, ¡°I didn¡¯t hear the music in Putnam¡¯s headphones. I don¡¯t have that good hearing. This is what my vision has helped me confirm.¡±


    ¡°Vision?¡± Alan was slightly stunned.


    What did the music in the headphones have to do with his eyesight?


    The two of them continued to walk along the corridor without making the slightest sound of footsteps. The silence made Alan feel that the young man in front of him was particularly mysterious.


    Li Zhuo slowly said, ¡°you should also know that sound is produced by vibration.¡±


    ¡°Although I can¡¯t hear the music in Putnam¡¯s headphones, I can see that his headphones are vibrating.¡±


    ¡°Although the amplitude is very small, it is indeed vibrating, and it is very dense.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡± Alan was speechless once again.


    He was completely shocked. Indeed, no matter how good the sound insulation effect of the earpiece was, it would definitely vibrate.


    This kind of vibration could be clearly felt by the person wearing the earpiece, but it was very difficult for outsiders to feel it.


    So, this youth in front of him could actually see that Putnam¡¯s headphones were vibrating? This was simply inconceivable!


    Li Zhuo continued to explain. ¡°If Putnam had been walking around, it would have been very difficult for me to see it, because there was no comparison.¡±


    ¡°However, Putnam just stood at the door for two seconds, and also stood at the bar for a few seconds. Before we left, he had been sitting in front of the bar and had not moved.¡±


    ¡°As long as he doesn¡¯t know, I can see if his headphones are vibrating. It¡¯s very simple. There is a contrast between the images.¡±


    The corners of Alan¡¯s eyes twitched. He understood the principle of the headphones vibrating. He could see the subtle contrast between the still images, and he also understood it.


    However, every vibration of the headphones occurred in a very short period of time. The difference between the two so-called ¡®still images¡¯ might need to be compared with ¡®frames¡¯ to see if the earphone was vibrating.


    You call this simple?


    Looking at the calm young man beside him, Alan finally could not help but ask the biggest question in his heart.


    ¡°Are you really just an ordinary student?¡±


    Allen was very sure that Li Zhuo was very relaxed after seeing Putnam. This was definitely not the performance of an ordinary student. Only a truly capable person could have this kind of ¡®relaxed¡¯ confidence!


    ¡°Yeah.¡± Li Zhuo continued to look forward, and his tone of reply did not change at all.


    ¡°But¡­ when Putnam appeared just now, your expression did not change at all¡­ This is not the reaction of an ordinary student.¡± Alan stared at Li Zhuo closely, as if trying to catch a reaction.


    Li Zhuo finally turned his head to look at Alan, and the two of them walked forward while looking at each other.


    When they reached the next intersection, Li Zhuo suddenly spoke. ¡°Have you heard of a sheep called ¡®fainted sheep¡¯?¡±


    Allen did not reply, because he did not understand why Li Zhuo would suddenly mention this.


    Li Zhuo did not seem to want an answer from Alan and continued to speak on his own. ¡°This kind of sheep has a disease called congenital myotonia. When they are frightened, their bodies will tense up, so they will fall.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m a little similar to them¡­¡±


    ¡°As long as I¡¯m nervous, my facial muscles will become very relaxed, and I won¡¯t be able to make any expression¡­¡±


    Alan was stunned when he heard that. There was such a disease in this world?


    So, this kid gave off a very relaxed feeling because he was really ¡®relaxed¡¯?

 Chapter 21 - One Glance Was Enough

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    ¡°You guys met Putnam?!¡± In the recreation room, everyone said in a tone of great interest.


    Only Armstrong¡¯s tone was nervous. He really wanted to know if Li Zhuo and Allen had gained anything from their investigation.


    While they were waiting, Alsop and Carl had been playing games. Only Armstrong was restless and kept pacing back and forth in the recreation room.


    Now that he heard that Li Zhuo and Alan had met Putnam in the drinks room, he was naturally nervous.


    ¡°Has Putnam found out about our investigation into him?¡± Armstrong asked nervously.


    ¡°I don¡¯t think so.¡± Li Zhuo took a can of coke from Alsop and looked at Armstrong seriously. ¡°But I think you¡¯d better be careful. We haven¡¯t seen any knives in his room, and we don¡¯t know where they are hidden.¡±


    Hearing Li Zhuo¡¯s words, Armstrong¡¯s face turned a little pale as if he had been frightened.


    If he had just bought some knives, it might not be enough to confirm anything. However, hiding the knives was a very clear indication of the problem!


    ¡°Li, you have to help me. I can only rely on you!¡± Armstrong¡¯s tone already had a hint of crying.


    Li Zhuo shook his head and said, ¡°I can¡¯t promise you anything. I can only say that I¡¯ll try my best.¡±


    After saying that, he took a sip of coke and turned to Alan. ¡°Alan, lend me your iron wire.¡±


    Alan was slightly stunned. Then he took out the iron wire from his sleeve and handed it to Li Zhuo.


    This iron wire was not a very rare thing. It was just an ordinary iron wire, and Alan did not mind giving it to him. He would not refuse Li Zhuo, but he did not know why Li Zhuo wanted to borrow this iron wire.


    Li Zhuo picked up the iron wire, took a look at it, and then imitated Alan. He put it into his sleeve and left the recreation room.


    When the door to the recreation room closed, everyone looked at each other.


    Then, everyone except Armstrong showed interest.


    ¡°Where do you think he¡¯s going?¡± Carl asked first.


    ¡°I¡¯m not sure where, but I suspect that he has learned Alan¡¯s lockpicking skills.¡± Alsop smiled.


    Allen was slightly surprised. ¡°How is that possible? He only took a glance at it!¡±


    ¡°Isn¡¯t one glance enough for him?¡± Alsop glanced at Alan.


    This time, Allen was slightly stunned. Indeed, for Li Zhuo, one glance was enough. That one glance was enough for Li Zhuo to replay and learn it countless times in his mind.


    When he thought about how his skills had been learned with just one glance, Alan felt a little complicated. At this moment, he felt that all the praises he had received in the past few decades had become a joke.


    If there was really a genius in this world, then this person must be Li Zhuo. It could only be Li Zhuo!


    At this moment, Alsop suddenly stood up and walked towards the door of the recreation room.


    ¡°Where are you going?¡± Alan was slightly stunned.


    ¡°Of course I¡¯m going to look for Li Zhuo. My intuition tells me that he will give me a huge surprise!¡±


    As if she had discovered a new toy, Alsop immediately walked out of the recreation room. Carl immediately followed closely behind. His curiosity was no less than Alsop¡¯s.


    Meanwhile, after Alan looked at Carl¡¯s back with a complicated expression, he could not sit still anymore.


    ¡°No, I have to go too! I have to see with my own eyes whether that kid has learned my ability or not.¡±


    In an instant, four out of the five people in the room were gone.


    Only Armstrong was left sitting alone on the sofa. He shouted with his mouth agape, ¡°hey! Don¡¯t leave me here alone!!¡±


    ¡­


    Li Zhuo walked along the corridor silently and quickly. His expression was somewhat solemn.


    Other than beach volleyball, the places that Putnam frequented the most were the beverage room and gym.


    Li Zhuo had just gone to the beverage room, but he did not find anything unusual. Also, there was no knife in Putnam¡¯s room either.


    Then, the gym was the most suspicious place!


    Li Zhuo slowly stood still and looked at the gym door in front of him. Putnam had just appeared in the beverage room, so he might not have returned to the gym yet. Therefore, if he wanted to investigate, this might be the best opportunity.


    He gently pulled the sleeve of his right hand so that his entire right hand was hidden in the sleeve. Then, he reached out and grabbed the door handle.


    After gently twisting it, Li Zhuo slightly frowned. It was indeed locked.


    The gym was originally not a place that Putnam used alone. Instead, it was a public place. In that case, Putnam locking the gym proved that there was something wrong with the gym.


    He shook his left hand, and the iron wire hidden in his left sleeve fell into his hand. It was the same technique as Alan¡¯s. If Alan saw this, he would doubt his life again.


    After holding the wire, Li Zhuo imitated Alan¡¯s movements and gently stabbed the wire into the keyhole.


    Whether it was the angle or the strength, even the standing posture and the movements of his hands were exactly the same as Alan¡¯s.


    At this time, Alsop and Alan had already taken the lead to the corner at the end of the corridor and saw Li Zhuo¡¯s figure. Three seconds later, Li Zhuo turned the doorknob again.


    This time, the gym door was opened, and no sound was made during the entire process.


    Seeing this scene, Alan¡¯s mouth twitched twice. This kid had really learned it!


    Due to his young age, Carl, who was slightly slower than the two of them, had also arrived at this time.


    Looking at the stunned Alan, Carl¡¯s expression of interest became even more intense. It seemed that Li Zhuo had really learned it.


    Carl turned his head and looked forward. He saw that Li Zhuo did not walk in immediately after opening the door. Instead, he observed the gym floor like he did before he entered Putnam¡¯s room.


    After making sure that there was no dust, he walked in with ease.


    As soon as he entered the door, Li Zhuo¡¯s eyebrows furrowed slightly. It did not smell right.


    At this time, Alan, Alsop, Carl, and Armstrong had already arrived outside the gym.


    Alsop looked at Li Zhuo¡¯s back and asked teasingly, ¡°team leader, what did you find this time?¡±


    However, Li Zhuo did not answer her. Instead, he walked to the corner of the room, picked up the walkie-talkie, and said, ¡°Wilson, bring some luminol reagent here as soon as possible.¡±


    After saying that, he continued to observe the gym.


    However, the faces of the people behind him had already become a little ugly. As top criminals, they naturally knew what the luminol reagent was used for.


    Li Zhuo¡¯s meaning was very obvious.. There had been bloodstains in this gym!

 Chapter 22 - The Gym That Was Covered in Blood

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    All of a sudden, the atmosphere in the gym became tense.


    Li Zhuo, on the other hand, seemed to not care at all. He strolled around the gym and said softly, ¡°I don¡¯t know if you guys smell a strange smell.¡±


    The few people behind him clearly did not make any sound when they walked. Just now, only Alsop spoke.


    However, Li Zhuo seemed to be very sure that Alsop was not the only one behind him.


    Alan frowned slightly and the tip of his nose twitched slightly. Then, he said, ¡°is it¡­ the smell of disinfectant and bleach?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Li Zhuo had already walked to the corner of the gym. He squatted down gently and looked at the corner of the wall.


    ¡°When I came here, the gym was locked.¡±


    ¡°Logically speaking, a place like the gym doesn¡¯t need to be locked. As far as I know, other than Putnam, Alan also often comes here to work out, so Putnam has no reason to lock this place.¡±


    Hearing this, the others all nodded slightly, but Alan felt uncomfortable all over.


    Alan was very sure that this kid had never followed him. So, how did he know that he was the only one who often came to the gym?


    Li Zhuo did not care about Alan¡¯s discomfort. He continued, ¡°the gym may produce a lot of sweat smell, which is very normal.¡±


    ¡°According to Putnam¡¯s clean-loving personality, he would indeed clean the gym. However, to remove the sweat smell or wash the sweat stains, he only needs to use deodorant and detergent. He doesn¡¯t need to use disinfectant or bleach.¡±


    ¡°So, he must be trying to cover up some traces that shouldn¡¯t exist in the gym.¡±


    At this moment, Alsop frowned slightly. ¡°Then why do you think Putnam is hiding blood?¡±


    These words were the same question in the hearts of the others. They felt that Li Zhuo was not on the same level as everyone else. This so-called ¡®ordinary student¡¯ now looked like the world¡¯s top detective.


    However, Li Zhuo turned around and looked at everyone. He said in a very natural tone, ¡°I guessed. I just wanted to try.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡± At this moment, everyone was speechless.


    They originally thought that Li Zhuo would come up with all kinds of deductions, but who knew that he actually guessed.


    However, after thinking carefully, they realized that there was actually no problem with this.


    Putnam bought a bunch of knives and hid them all. It was a gym that everyone shared, but Putnam had locked it. It was a clean job that could be done with detergent and deodorant, but he had to use disinfectant and bleach.


    Even if Li Zhuo guessed that there was blood here, it did not seem to be a problem.


    ¡°Hello, Mr. Li. This is the luminol reagent you wanted.¡± Wilson¡¯s voice came from behind them. He put the spray-type luminol reagent in his hands on the chair in the gym and quickly left the scene.


    Just like a professional butler, he would always provide help with the best service, but he would not participate in it.


    Li Zhuo picked up a can of luminol reagent from the chair and sprayed it directly on the corner of the gym.


    Armstrong was the person who was most concerned about this matter at the moment. He immediately took the initiative to pick up a can of luminol reagent and helped Li Zhuo spray it together.


    The others also took one bottle each, so that the progress could be faster.


    Soon, the entire room, except for the ceiling, was almost covered with luminol reagent.


    Li Zhuo turned around and glanced at Alan. Alan understood and walked to the gym door, placing his hand on the light switch button.


    At this moment, everyone looked at Alan nervously.


    Everyone knew very well that although the luminol reagent could react with the bloodstains and make the bloodstains that could not be seen by the naked eye reappear.


    It could not be seen in an overly bright environment, so the lights had to be turned off to be able to see it.


    Everyone was a little nervous now.


    They did not know what would happen after the lights were turned off. They did not know how they would face Putnam if they found blood.


    However, that was the only thing they could do.


    Pow.


    Alan flipped the switch, and the room fell into darkness.


    Alsop gasped in the darkness. The room was almost filled with dim blue fluorescence.


    This was the effect of the reaction between the luminol reagent and the blood.


    Everyone looked at the dense blue fluorescence in the gym as if their bodies had fallen into an ice cellar.


    What exactly happened in the gym to have such a large amount of blood!


    ¡°Madman, he¡¯s definitely a madman!¡± Armstrong was on the verge of breaking down when he saw this scene. He did not dare to imagine what Putnam had done in this room.


    He only knew that he was in big trouble now! The next person to die in the gym might very well be himself!


    At this moment, there was a slight ¡®pa¡¯ sound by the gym door.


    The entire gym immediately lit up. Everyone subconsciously turned their heads to look at the gym door, but they saw that behind Alan was Putnam¡¯s expressionless face!


    At this moment, everyone¡¯s bodies subconsciously tensed up. Alan and Armstrong even took a few steps back.


    Obviously, everyone had already regarded Putnam as a dangerous person.


    However, only Li Zhuo remained in a relaxed state and walked forward with a smile.


    ¡°Putnam, you seem to have scared everyone,¡± Li Zhuo said with a smile.


    Everyone subconsciously looked at Li Zhuo. They could not understand why Li Zhuo could be so relaxed when facing such a dangerous person.


    Alan subconsciously thought of what Li Zhuo had said before.


    When you are nervous, your muscles will relax?


    No, that¡¯s not right! Li Zhuo was clearly smiling now! Either Li Zhuo had lied before, or, he was not nervous at all now!


    Outside the door, Putnam slowly scanned everyone¡¯s faces. Every time his gaze swept across a person¡¯s face, that person would obviously become more nervous.


    The one who was the most nervous was Armstrong, and the one who was the most relaxed was Li Zhuo.


    Only Li Zhuo did not show any nervousness at all. Instead, he appeared very relaxed.


    It was as if he had seen through all the truth.


    Finally, Putnam spoke in silence. ¡°I didn¡¯t want you guys to know about this, but since you guys found out, I can¡¯t continue to hide it¡­¡±


    Hearing this, everyone became inexplicably nervous again. Armstrong even felt that Putnam was going to kill him to silence him.


    However, at this moment, there was a slight movement in the clothes on Putnam¡¯s abdomen.


    Then, a soft sound came from the thing in the clothes.


    Meow~


    Instantly, everyone fell silent. Everyone had a stunned expression on their faces.


    What did I just hear?


    A cat meow?!

 Chapter 23 - Putnam’s Secret

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    At this moment, the air seemed to freeze. The entire gym fell into a strange silence.


    Everyone¡¯s faces were filled with shock.


    Even Li Zhuo was a little surprised. He obviously did not expect that what Putnam had hidden in his clothes was actually a cat.


    Only Putnam¡¯s face was filled with a hint of embarrassment.


    Armstrong muttered, ¡°did I hear it wrong just now?¡±


    The next moment, a soft meow could be heard from under Putnam¡¯s clothes again.


    Meow~


    ¡°¡­¡± Armstrong was silent. This was indeed a meow.


    So he had been afraid for the whole day. was he actually afraid of a cat?


    Thinking of this, Armstrong was slightly stunned. ¡°That¡¯s not right. Didn¡¯t Putnam buy a lot of knives?¡±


    In an instant, everyone looked at Armstrong. Everyone looked at him as if he was an idiot.


    Only Putnam frowned slightly. ¡°You investigated me?¡±


    Armstrong immediately became nervous, not knowing how to explain. He could have just said nothing, but now he had exposed himself.


    Alsop quickly said, ¡°Putnam, don¡¯t blame him. He was completely scared today.¡±


    ¡°Scared? Why?¡± Putnam was a little puzzled.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t do anything to him.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡± Armstrong fell silent again.


    Putnam had indeed done nothing to him. All of this was just his speculation.


    At this time, Carl¡¯s advantage as a child was brought into play. He asked very directly, ¡°didn¡¯t you bump into him today? Then you didn¡¯t say anything. You just glared at him and left.¡±


    It was not appropriate for others to ask this, but Carl, who was only ten years old, said it very naturally.


    Putnam was silent after hearing Carl¡¯s words.


    At this moment, Li Zhuo smiled slightly and walked over. ¡°I think I have roughly understood what happened. Let me guess.¡±


    Everyone looked at Li Zhuo. Putnam glanced at Li Zhuo, but in the end, he did not stop him. Only Armstrong was still in a daze, completely unable to keep up with everyone¡¯s pace.


    ¡°If I¡¯m not wrong, this should be the case.¡±


    ¡°Putnam has actually been raising a kitten in Section S, but he doesn¡¯t want everyone to know about it. As for the reason, I don¡¯t know.¡±


    Hearing this, everyone was slightly stunned. Putnam had been raising kittens? No one knew about this at all!


    After saying this, Li Zhuo glanced at Putnam. Seeing that he did not refute, he continued.


    ¡°At first, the kitten might only need to drink milk, but the kitten will eventually grow up. It is impossible to only give the kitten milk.¡±


    ¡°Since Putnam has raised this kitten, naturally, he will not let him go hungry. So, he began to think about how to cook for the kitten.¡±


    Hearing this, Alan frowned slightly and asked, ¡°that¡¯s not right. If that¡¯s the case, why didn¡¯t he just ask Wilson to send the cat food in? Also, what does this have to do with buying knives?¡±


    Li Zhuo glanced at him and smiled. ¡°Didn¡¯t I say just now that Putnam probably didn¡¯t want everyone to know about this? This also included Wilson, or he was worried that Wilson would leak the secret.¡±


    ¡°As for buying a knife¡­ I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s to make food for the kitten.¡±


    Everyone was slightly stunned when they heard that.


    Buying a knife¡­ just to make food for the kitten? Was it that simple?


    Li Zhuo continued to explain. ¡°You all saw it just now. After Armstrong spilled the beans, Putnam wasn¡¯t too surprised. He was just a little dissatisfied.¡±


    ¡°This means that he probably guessed that his shopping records might be found out by others. That¡¯s why he didn¡¯t directly buy cat food. This is too obvious.¡±


    ¡°However, buying a knife is different. He can use the knife to kill the chicken himself, and then prepare some chicken meat for the kitten to eat.¡±


    ¡°My guess should be right.¡± Li Zhuo smiled and looked at Putnam. Putnam remained silent and did not refute.


    Carl nodded and said, ¡°What Li Zhuo said is indeed very reasonable, but why does Putnam want to kill the chicken in the gym? Isn¡¯t the kitchen a good place?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s because he¡¯s not sure when the kitchen will be occupied.¡± Lee Zhuo immediately gave an answer. ¡°Any one of us could have Wilson cook something for us in the kitchen at any time, so the kitchen is not a safe place.¡±.


    ¡°For Putnam, the place he was the most familiar with is the gym, because almost no one else except Alan would go to the gym.¡±


    ¡°Alan actually goes to the gym at a fixed time, usually between 1:00 and 3:00 in the afternoon. He wouldn¡¯t go to the gym at other times.¡±


    Hearing this, everyone came to a sudden realization once again. Only Alan showed an unnatural expression. Why does this kid know so much about his behavior trajectory?


    When exactly did he write down these details?!


    After listening to Li Zhuo¡¯s words, Alsop had basically completely believed him, but she still had some doubts. ¡°But¡­ why would there be so much blood left in the gym after killing the chicken?¡±


    This was indeed very strange, and everyone could not figure it out. Only Li Zhuo looked at Putnam helplessly and said, ¡°You should tell this matter yourself.¡±


    Everyone looked at Putnam. Putnam¡¯s expression was still a little awkward. After a long while, he said reluctantly, ¡°That¡¯s because¡­ I failed a few times.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡± Everyone was silent.


    This gym was almost covered in blood. How many times did you fail?!


    Moreover, if you failed, why did you have to do it in a different corner? Why didn¡¯t you just stick to one corner?!


    Putnam seemed to have seen the ridicule in everyone¡¯s hearts. He said awkwardly, ¡°If you keep killing chickens in the same place, the smell will be very strong. It will be very difficult to eliminate the smell, but if you scatter it in different corners, it will be much easier to clean up¡­¡±


    ¡°¡­¡± It did sound reasonable, but the problem was that you had already caused the room to be filled with blood!!


    Putnam saw everyone¡¯s speechless looks and helplessly took out the kitten from his under his clothes.


    It was an English short-haired cat, also known as the Blue Cat. Its fur was gray and it looked very cute. It was also very small and could lie in Putnam¡¯s palm.


    At this moment, the kitten was licking its paws gently. It was not afraid at all of the masters of crime around it.


    When Alsop saw such a cute kitten, she immediately rushed over with cheers and hugged the kitten in her arms.


    Armstrong, on the other hand, had a blank look on his face. So he had been afraid for a long time just for this kitten?


    ¡°So you glared at me this morning because¡­?¡± He subconsciously asked.


    ¡°I was afraid that the cat would cry out like that just now, so I was too nervous. I didn¡¯t have time to apologize, so I ran away. Now, I apologize to you.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡±


    So the look in your eyes that looked like you were going to kill someone was just because you were nervous!!

 Chapter 24 - The Biggest Freak in Section S

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    The atmosphere in s district had changed a little after the news of Putnam¡¯s cat was made public.


    Now, the cat seemed to have become everyone¡¯s pet very naturally. All except for Armstrong, who was naturally afraid of cats¡­


    Putnam, who had always been quiet, had become much closer to everyone because of this.


    Li Zhuo, who earned six million just by helping out Armstrong, suddenly felt that it was not a bad thing for him to go to prison here.


    At least the money here was easy to earn. In the future, he might be able to live a very good life after he left Section S.


    Everything seemed to be moving in a better direction.


    However¡­


    ¡°Good Morning.¡± Li Zhuo came to the restaurant early in the morning and was ready to enjoy breakfast today.


    However, the restaurant, which was originally a little lively, suddenly became quiet. Everyone turned to look at Li Zhuo without saying a word. The topic of discussion just now also immediately stopped.


    Li Zhuo was slightly stunned. It was obvious that everyone wanted to avoid him for some reason.


    Thinking of this, he smiled helplessly. That¡¯s right. He had only been here for a few days. How could he integrate into this environment so quickly?


    He did not ask anything. He just quietly pulled out a chair and sat down. He began to eat his breakfast.


    There were five other people in the room besides Li Zhuo.


    Carl, who was the youngest, glanced at Li Zhuo and then continued to eat his breakfast.


    Alsop and Putnam looked at each other and then continued to eat their breakfast.


    Only Armstrong was sneaky. He looked at Li Zhuo and then lowered his head to look at his breakfast. He seemed to be restless.


    Li Zhuo naturally noticed this.


    He smiled at Armstrong and said, ¡°Why, is there something on my face?¡±


    ¡°No¡­ no,¡± Armstrong replied nervously. Then, he imitated everyone¡¯s behavior and lowered his head to eat.


    Looking at everyone¡¯s appearance, Li Zhuo smiled helplessly. He did not say anything and continued to eat breakfast.


    The restaurant was eerily quiet. No one spoke. Only the sound of tableware lightly clashing proved that there were still living people here.


    Ka.


    The door of the restaurant was suddenly opened. A tired-looking Henry walked in from outside.


    ¡°Henry, good morning.¡± Li Zhuo smiled and greeted Henry.


    Henry glanced at Li Zhuo and very naturally pulled out the chair next to Li Zhuo and joined the breakfast group.


    ¡°Good morning, Li. How are you settling down in Section S?¡±


    Li Zhuo raised his eyebrows. The others seemed to be deliberately avoiding him today, but only Henry seemed to be the same as usual? What was going on?


    While he was thinking, he started to talk to Henry. ¡°At the beginning, I was indeed not used to it. After all, this is not quite the same as the prison life I imagined.¡±


    ¡°But it¡¯s much better now. I¡¯m very satisfied with my life here.¡±


    Henry smiled and picked up a piece of bread from the plate. ¡°It¡¯s good that you¡¯re satisfied. I¡¯ve been busy in the laboratory these few days preparing new drugs, so I didn¡¯t come out much. Did anything interesting happen?¡± He said while spreading butter.


    Li Zhuo smiled. ¡°Other than Armstrong¡¯s misunderstanding of Putnam, there¡¯s almost nothing else.¡±


    ¡°Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding? ¡°Henry was slightly stunned.


    He had not come out since the last time he entered the laboratory. Wilson had sent him three meals a day to the laboratory, so he still did not know that Putnam had a cat.


    After Li Zhuo told him the whole story, Henry looked at Armstrong with a strange expression. ¡°So you¡¯ve been scared for so long, and it¡¯s just because of a kitten?¡±


    ¡°Let me be clear, I won¡¯t refund you the money for the medicine.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t intend to ask you to refund the money. I don¡¯t care about this small amount of money,¡± Armstrong curled his lips and replied nonchalantly.


    However, he could not help but look in Li Zhuo¡¯s direction as if something was on his mind.


    Everyone ate very slowly during this meal. Only Li Zhuo and Henry were eating at a normal speed.


    However, Li Zhuo arrived a little earlier than Henry, so after he finished eating, he left the restaurant and went to the entertainment room to play games.


    Henry also got up a few minutes later and was ready to return to the laboratory.


    At this moment, Alan called out to him. ¡°Henry, we have something to talk to you about.¡±


    Henry was slightly stunned and said, ¡°Is it about Li?¡±


    The others looked at each other and then nodded repeatedly.


    Only Armstrong asked curiously, ¡°how did you know we were going to talk about Li?¡±


    Henry shrugged and said, ¡°If you had something to say, you could have said it just now. There was no need to wait for Li to leave before saying it.


    ¡°I also noticed that you seem to be a little wary of him. Or¡­ estranged?¡± Henry said it very tactfully.


    Actually, it was not that everyone was wary of Li Zhuo, but it was Armstrong who showed it. He was too obvious.


    Armstrong scratched his head and said, ¡°You¡¯ve been in the laboratory for the past few days, so you don¡¯t know much about Li Zhuo.¡±


    ¡°That guy¡­ is a freak!¡± Armstrong pondered for a long time, but he could not find a suitable word to describe Li Zhuo.


    Henry obviously did not understand what Armstrong was trying to say. He raised his eyebrows and asked, ¡°is there anyone here who is not a freak?¡±


    ¡°The world¡¯s top con artist, a 32-year-old virgin.¡±


    ¡°The world¡¯s top hacker, only 10 years old now.¡±


    ¡°The world¡¯s top killer, but he is raising kittens.¡±


    ¡°The world¡¯s top gambling master, without the gambling table, becomes a fool who will lose every bet¡­¡±


    ¡°Hey, hey, hey, the last sentence is unnecessary,¡± Armstrong grumbled unhappily.


    Henry spread his hands and did not intend to change his wording. He pulled out a chair and sat down. He was also very curious about what Armstrong meant when he said that Li Zhuo was special.


    At this time, Alan said with a strange expression, ¡°That kid¡¯s learning ability seems to be a little ridiculous.¡±


    ¡°How ridiculous?¡± Henry did not agree.


    Alan carefully stood up and walked out of the restaurant. After confirming that Li Zhuo was not at the door, he closed the door and said, ¡°That kid only took a glance and learned my lockpicking skills.¡±


    ¡°Just a glance?¡± Henry was slightly stunned.


    ¡°Yes, just a glance!¡± Seeing Henry¡¯s stunned reaction, Alan immediately increased his tone.


    ¡°Not only that! That kid also learned to move silently, and he only followed us for a while,¡± Armstrong also said with a serious expression.


    ¡°So¡­ you deliberately avoided him because you were afraid that he would learn your specialty?¡± After Henry understood everyone¡¯s meaning, he revealed a disdainful smile. ¡°Such a thing will never happen to me. There are no shortcuts in science!


    ¡°Even if he saw my pharmaceutical technology, he would never be able to learn it!¡±


    After saying that, Henry stood up and prepared to leave the restaurant and return to the laboratory to continue concocting potions.


    However, behind him came Alsop¡¯s confident smile.


    ¡°Why don¡¯t we make a bet?¡±

 Chapter 25 - Please Show Some Respect for My Profession

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    ¡°Bet? What¡¯s the bet?¡± Henry turned around and looked at Alsop. He could hear the confidence in Alsop¡¯s tone.


    Although Henry did not know why Alsop was so sure that Li Zhuo could learn it, Henry also had his own confidence.


    He firmly believed that the potions that he had worked day and night to create and experienced countless failures were all proof of his hard work.


    There were no shortcuts in science!


    However, Alsop seemed to want to challenge Henry¡¯s confidence. She smiled and said, ¡°I¡¯ll bet on whether he can learn your pharmaceutical technology.¡±


    ¡°If he learns it, you¡¯ll be my subordinate for three days.¡±


    ¡°What if he doesn¡¯t learn it?¡± Henry raised his eyebrows.


    Alsop showed a charming smile. ¡°If he doesn¡¯t learn it, I¡¯ll do whatever you want me to do.¡±


    ¡°Interesting.¡± Henry also smiled. ¡°Just you wait, I¡¯ll win for sure!¡±


    After that, he looked at the others. ¡°What about you guys, do you want to join the bet?¡±


    Putnam shook his head silently. He could not decide yet. He had not seen Li Zhuo¡¯s learning ability with his own eyes, so he would not place a bet easily.


    However, he had seen Li Zhuo¡¯s analytical ability with his own eyes. Therefore, in his heart, he was actually more optimistic about Li Zhuo. However, he still needed to wait for a key factor before deciding whether to place a bet or not.


    Carl, who was holding a lollipop in his mouth, smiled and said, ¡°I bet on Henry to win.¡±


    Alsop smiled slightly as if she did not intend to persuade Carl to change his mind. After all, the more people who bet on Henry to win, the more ¡®underlings¡¯ she would be able to reap.


    Although it was temporary, it was still quite fun.


    However, Alan said with some dissatisfaction, ¡°Hey, hey, it¡¯s fine that Henry doesn¡¯t know the situation, but why do you think that Li can¡¯t learn Henry¡¯s pharmaceutical technology?¡±


    Carl raised his hand to take out the lollipop from his mouth and grinned. ¡°I think your lockpicking technology is too simple. It¡¯s normal that you can learn it.¡±


    ¡°However, pharmaceutical technology is different. This is a very complicated technology.


    ¡°Just like my hacking skills, I don¡¯t think Li can easily learn my skills.¡±


    ¡°You dare to say that my lockpicking skills are simple?!¡± Alan glared at Carl.


    Alan looked at Alsop and said, ¡°I¡¯m on Alsop¡¯s side. I think Li Zhuo can learn it!¡±


    After saying that, Alan looked at Armstrong and asked, ¡°what about You?¡±


    Everyone looked at Armstrong. Armstrong thought about it seriously and said, ¡°Then I¡¯ll bet on Henry. I don¡¯t think it will be that easy.¡±


    Hearing this, Carl and Henry¡¯s expressions obviously became ugly. Alan and Alsop were obviously relieved.


    At this moment, Putnam, who had been silent all this time, finally smiled and said, ¡°I bet on Alsop.¡±


    ¡°Why?¡± Armstrong looked at Putnam curiously.


    After all, everyone had their reasons and opinions. Only Putnam seemed to have just made a decision.


    Putnam smiled. ¡°That¡¯s because you bet on Henry to win, so I think Henry will definitely lose.¡±


    ¡°Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean by this!¡± Armstrong¡¯s eyes widened, and he was a little unconvinced.


    ¡°To be honest, I¡¯m a little regretful too. Is it too late to switch sides now?¡± Carl said with a frown.


    ¡°Hey, hey, hey, I¡¯m the world¡¯s top gambling master! You guys actually don¡¯t believe me! You¡¯ve hurt me!¡± Armstrong was very upset.


    However, at this time, Henry raised his hand with some hesitation. ¡°I suddenly feel that it¡¯s not impossible for Li to learn my pharmaceutical technology. Is there still time for me to bet on myself to lose¡­?¡±


    ¡°¡­¡± Armstrong looked at Henry¡¯s regretful look, and his teeth were about to break.


    Who would bet on themselves to lose?!


    Do you really not believe in the abilities of a gambling master?!


    Please show some respect to my profession!!


    ¡­


    After the six of them finished their breakfast, they immediately went to the recreation room.


    At this moment, Li Zhuo was sitting on the sofa playing a game on the console.


    As everyone had hidden their footsteps, Li Zhuo did not notice them. Looking at the screen in front of him, Li Zhuo quickly operated the controller and attacked again and again.


    Suddenly, a large ¡®Danger¡¯ word appeared above the head of the game character controlled by Li Zhuo.


    Seeing this scene, Alsop¡¯s heart subconsciously tightened.


    She had played this game many times before. Every time a ¡®Danger¡¯ appeared above the head of a character, she should immediately dodge it because this meant that the enemy would launch a powerful attack. This was the game¡¯s warning mechanism.


    However, the reaction time left for the player to dodge was not long.


    Only those who had experienced this game knew how difficult it was.


    However, in the next moment, Alsop¡¯s eyes widened. She clearly saw that Li Zhuo easily dodged the fatal blow.


    After avoiding the fatal blow, the main character on the screen once again launched the next round of attacks on the enemy.


    After a dozen seconds, the ¡®Danger¡¯ symbol appeared above the character¡¯s head again. Alsop¡¯s heart subconsciously tightened again, as if the fear that had been carved into her DNA was once again triggered.


    However, Li Zhuo once again controlled the character in his hand in time and calmly jumped up. He then stepped on the head of the charging enemy and perfectly avoided this attack.


    Similar scenes played out one after another.


    ¡®Danger¡¯ warnings kept appearing above the character¡¯s head, but Li Zhuo successfully dodged each and every one of them and successfully counterattacked.


    Ten minutes later, the long blade in the game character¡¯s hand swung out, completely wiping out the enemy¡¯s final HP.


    This round was over.


    Alsop only realized now that she was actually somewhat engrossed in watching Li Zhuo playing the video game.


    At this moment, she glanced at the corner of the screen and realized that up until now, the HP of Li Zhuo¡¯s character was still 100%.


    From the beginning to the end, he had not suffered a single blow!


    At this moment, Li Zhuo put down the controller in his hand and stood up, intending to go to the fridge to get a glass of water to drink.


    Only then did he realize that there was actually a large group of people standing behind him. Moreover, everyone was staring at him with strange expressions.


    ¡°You guys¡­ What¡¯s the matter?¡± Li Zhuo looked at everyone and asked.


    At this time, Alsop had completely forgotten about the bet. She grabbed Li Zhuo¡¯s shoulder with an excited expression and said, ¡°Oh my god, you¡¯re simply a monster. How on Earth did you do it!?¡±


    ¡°I have to die more than a hundred times in every level of this game!¡±


    ¡°How can you accurately dodge every attack of the enemy? This doesn¡¯t make sense!!¡±


    Embarrassed, Li Zhuo struggled free from Alsop¡¯s hands. He rubbed his aching arm and muttered, ¡°we just need to remember the rhythm of each enemy¡¯s attack and the corresponding dodging method, isn¡¯t that enough? Is it very difficult?¡±


    ¡°¡­¡± Alsop opened her mouth, but she did not say a word.


    This was the most difficult game in the world, and you actually said that it was very simple?!


    ¡°Ahem.¡± Henry was not interested in games, so he did not have too many emotions. He looked at Li Zhuo and went straight to the point. ¡°Li, are you interested in learning pharmaceutical technology from me? Although it¡¯s very difficult, they all said that you can learn it, and I think¡­¡±


    Before Henry could finish his words, Li Zhuo shook his head calmly and said, ¡°I¡¯m not interested.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡±


    Hey, hey, hey, how can we gamble with you like this!?

 Chapter 26 - The Most Vicious Punishment in the World

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Henry stood rooted to the ground. He had come with full confidence to prove that his pharmaceutical technology was not so easy to be learned by a newbie.


    However, Li Zhuo¡¯s reaction completely disrupted his plan.


    ¡°Wait, you might not be clear. What I mean is that you can learn my pharmaceutical technology.¡±


    ¡°I know, I¡¯m not interested.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll teach you personally!¡±


    ¡°I know, but I¡¯m not interested.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m a world-class pharmaceutical master. How can you not be interested in the pharmaceutical technology that I have mastered?¡±


    When Li Zhuo heard this, he thought seriously for a moment, then asked in puzzlement,


    ¡°What¡¯s the use?¡±


    ¡°¡­¡± Henry was completely shocked. He took a step back in disbelief.


    This was the world¡¯s top pharmaceutical technology, but this young man in front of him actually asked what the use of this technology was!


    At this time, Alsop and Carl could not help but turn around and cover their mouths to stifle their laughter.


    Alsop was holding back too hard, and her shoulders were even shaking from laughter.


    ¡°Wait, I don¡¯t think I made myself clear.¡± Henry held his forehead helplessly. He had to prove how powerful his technology was today.


    ¡°Do you know that I can make all the drugs in the world that are known to me? I can even make many special drugs that other people don¡¯t know about.¡±


    ¡°Do you understand what I mean? As long as you learn my technology, you can make any drug!¡±


    Henry boasted, but Li Zhuo thought seriously for a moment and asked, ¡°in that case, can you make a potion that makes me want to learn your pharmaceutical technology?¡±


    ¡°¡­¡± Henry was stunned again. He really could not make such a thing.


    ¡°How can there be such a strange potion in the world?!¡±


    ¡°Hey, hey, hey, you can even make a zombie potion. That¡¯s the most ridiculous thing,¡± Li Zhuo stared at Henry and complained.


    ¡°I don¡¯t care. You have to learn it!¡± Henry stared at him and said.


    In the past, Henry did not agree with many people who wanted to learn pharmaceutical technology from him. Now, he took the initiative to teach Li Zhuo, but Li Zhuo did not want to learn it. How could he accept that?


    Li Zhuo put on a reluctant look and asked, ¡°if I learn from you, what benefits will you give me?¡±


    ¡°¡­¡±


    Big brother, I¡¯m a world-class pharmacist!


    It¡¯s already good enough that I¡¯m willing to teach you, but you actually want to ask for benefits from me?!


    Henry was already beginning to doubt his life. Could it be that his own pharmaceutical technology was really so unattractive to Li Zhuo?


    At this moment, the trembling of the shoulders of Alsop and Carl had already increased a little.


    You could imagine Henry¡¯s mood. This was the most interesting thing for them this year. They could laugh at Henry for a year.


    Alsop even felt that it did not matter even if she lost.


    Henry sighed and said, ¡°Well, in fact, I made a bet with Alsop. Alsop said that your learning ability is very strong and you will definitely learn my pharmaceutical technology.¡±


    ¡°But I think that¡¯s impossible because there are no shortcuts in science.¡±


    ¡°If I lose, I will be her subordinate for three days. If she loses, she has to agree to one condition of mine. Anything is fine.¡±


    ¡°Anything is fine?¡± Li Zhuo raised his eyebrows. He did not expect Alsop to think so highly of him. He asked curiously, ¡°if you win, what do you plan to ask her to do?¡±


    Hearing this, everyone looked at Henry. Everyone was very curious about what kind of request Henry would make to Alsop.


    At this time, Henry also revealed a sinister smile and looked at Alsop.


    This look made Alsop nervous. She reached out her hands to cover her chest and said, ¡°Hey, hey, hey, I¡¯m warning you to give up your idea.¡±


    Henry sneered. ¡°Give up? Don¡¯t you know the principle of accepting a loss? What I want you to do is up to me.¡±


    The nervousness on Alsop¡¯s face became more intense. She swallowed and said, ¡°What do you want me to do?¡±


    ¡°Heh.¡± The sinister smile on Henry¡¯s face became even more intense. ¡°Of course, I want you to put on the clothes of a frog and walk around Section S singing Happy Birthday!¡±


    ¡°¡­¡± Alsop was speechless.


    Are you f*cking kidding me?


    I thought you wanted to do something pornographic to me, but¡­ That¡¯s it?


    However, other than Alsop, everyone else had shocked expressions on their faces.


    Alan said, ¡°That¡¯s too cruel. He actually made Alsop walk around Section S singing happy birthday while wearing a frog costume!¡±


    Carl said, ¡°What kind of evil heart would think of such a punishment?¡±


    Armstrong said, ¡°If it were me, I would rather die than do such a thing.¡±


    Even Putnam looked at Henry with a rather fearful gaze. ¡°How can there be such a vicious person in the world?¡±


    ¡°¡­¡± Now it was Li Zhuo¡¯s turn to be speechless.


    ¡°Why do I feel that you guys are a little abnormal¡­ But then again¡­ I actually want to watch it.¡±


    Carl said, ¡°I want to watch it too.¡±


    Armstrong said, ¡°Me too.¡±


    Alan also said, ¡°Me too¡­¡±


    Putnam looked at Alan in surprise. ¡°Alan, have you forgotten¡­ if Henry wins, we might also receive this kind of punishment.¡±


    !!!


    Alan grabbed Li Zhuo¡¯s hands and pleaded, ¡°Li, please, I really can¡¯t lose!¡±


    ¡°If I wear the clothes of a frog and sing happy birthday songs while walking around Section S, my soul will be tainted forever!¡±


    ¡°Hey, hey, hey, it¡¯s too exaggerated to say such a thing!¡± Li Zhuo was shocked. Why were these guys so afraid of this thing?


    ¡°No, it¡¯s not exaggerated at all. If I really did this kind of thing, I will definitely go to Hell after I die.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡± Li Zhuo looked at Alan¡¯s frightened eyes and sighed helplessly.


    ¡°Alright, although I also want to see you guys being punished, but¡­¡±


    ¡°Since you guys trust me so much, of course, I won¡¯t let you guys down.¡±


    After saying that, he turned to look at Henry. ¡°In that case, I¡¯ll reluctantly learn your pharmaceutical technology.¡±


    ¡°What do you mean by ¡®reluctantly learn¡¯? Hey!¡± The corners of Henry¡¯s eyes twitched twice.


    ¡°It seems that my pharmaceutical technology is really despised¡­ I can¡¯t accept this! I¡¯ll get you to understand how great the pharmaceutical industry is!¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I swear on my reputation as the world¡¯s number one pharmacist that I¡¯ll definitely teach you seriously.¡±


    ¡°However¡­ you¡¯ll never be able to learn my skills!¡±


    Henry¡¯s eyes were burning with the flames of war.


    From this moment on, this bet was no longer a game to him.. This was a battle of honor!

 Chapter 27 - This Isn’t Fair. I Mean, It’s Not Fair to You

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    In the laboratory, Li Zhuo stood in front of the experiment table while the others watched from the corner of the room.


    Henry rummaged through the cabinet for a long time before finally finding a pile of documents at the bottom.


    He casually threw the documents on the table and said, ¡°I don¡¯t know what went wrong in my head for me to agree to such a boring bet.¡±


    ¡°Now that I think about it, this kind of thing is meaningless and very boring.¡±


    ¡°If you want to learn my pharmaceutical technology, you must first understand the names and effects of the various ingredients. Only by remembering these differences can you have a chance to truly come into contact with the profession of pharmacist.¡±


    ¡°So, take these documents and read them first. Memorize them and come to me again.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll give you a month. If you can¡¯t do it, then I win, okay?¡±


    Henry looked like he was talking to Li Zhuo, but in fact, the last sentence he said was to Alsop.


    After all, this was a bet between Alsop and him.


    Alsop glanced at Li Zhuo, then smiled and said, ¡°Okay, but I think he should be able to remember it in less than a month.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s impossible.¡± Henry did not care about it at all, as if he had heard a joke.


    He shrugged, pointed at the documents. ¡°It took me a month to memorize these documents¡­¡±


    ¡°Wait!¡± Carl frowned when he heard this. ¡°You took a month to memorize these, why did you give him the same time? It¡¯s not fair!¡±


    Carl said this because he knew how hard it was to memorize all kinds of things that looked very similar but were slightly different.


    This was a common problem in science.


    In Carl¡¯s opinion, the reason why everyone here could become the world¡¯s top criminal master was not because of hard work. It was more because of talent.


    Without talent, no matter how hard they tried, it would be useless.


    However, Henry, who had the talent of a pharmacist, spent a month memorizing so many documents.


    Li Zhuo would need at least three months, or even longer.


    Hearing Carl¡¯s words, Li Zhuo also nodded slightly, ¡°giving me a month is indeed unfair¡­¡±


    Alsop frowned slightly but did not say anything. She believed that Li Zhuo could do it. She admired him very much.


    However, now, this young man she admired actually said such a thing. This made Alsop very disappointed.


    In her opinion, Li Zhuo should bravely accept this challenge and strive to memorize these boring documents within a month.


    This was not only Alsop¡¯s impression of him, it was also the impression of the others as well.


    However, Li Zhuo¡¯s next sentence stunned all of them.


    ¡°This is too unfair to Mr. Henry. If he used it for a month, I think I only need three hours.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡± Henry did not know what to say.


    What do you mean unfair to me?!


    Henry revealed a slightly ferocious smile because he felt that he had been insulted.


    ¡°Three hours, is it? Sure!¡±


    ¡°Li, if you don¡¯t remember the contents of the document after three hours, I won¡¯t be merciful.¡±


    After saying that, Henry looked at Alsop and said, ¡°Just wait until you put on the frog costume and sing happy birthday while walking around Section S! Hahaha!!¡±


    Henry let out a ferocious laugh, but it was interrupted by the sound of a piece of paper flipping. The frequency of the sound was very dense, about two to three pages per second.


    The smile on Henry¡¯s face instantly froze. An ominous premonition arose in his heart.


    His neck turned stiffly. What he saw was a scene that he would never forget for the rest of his life.


    He saw Li Zhuo flipping through the document in his hand expressionlessly. The speed of flipping was so fast that it made people wonder if he was really reading it.


    Seeing this scene, Alsop immediately became excited.


    ¡®I knew it. This kid will definitely not let me down.¡¯ Alsop could not help but cheer silently in her heart.


    Henry¡¯s face turned ashen.


    Was this kid putting on an act? Ridiculous! How could someone read so quickly?


    Moreover, he had to remember those complicated reagent ingredients and formulas.


    Henry immediately confirmed in his heart. This guy must be putting on an act in order to make me admit defeat. How ridiculous!


    Thinking of this, Henry got up and left the lab, preparing to go to the beverage room to drink a cup of coffee.


    The room immediately became quieter. Only the sound of Li Zhuo flipping through the paper was left.


    When Li Zhuo finished flipping through a document and was about to pick up another document, Carl took the time to ask.


    ¡°Li, you¡¯ve finished reading this document?¡±


    There was a hint of surprise and a hint of disbelief in his tone.


    However, Li Zhuo nodded very calmly and said, ¡°That¡¯s right, I¡¯ve finished reading.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯ve memorized everything?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve memorized everything.¡±


    Li Zhuo¡¯s tone had always been so calm as if there were no fluctuations in his emotions at all.


    In fact, he was already used to this.


    He was used to reading so quickly, and he was used to memorizing everything he had seen so quickly.


    In his understanding, memorizing was such a simple thing. How could someone waste so much time just to memorize something?


    Was this not kind of thing something that could be engraved in one¡¯s mind after reading it once?


    Alsop asked curiously, ¡°Can you really finish reading these documents in three hours?¡±


    Although this was a question, Alsop believed that Li Zhuo could do it.


    However, Li Zhuo shook his head slightly at this time.


    ¡°I thought it would take three hours, but now it seems that 20 minutes should be enough.¡±


    ¡°Maybe to prevent wear and tear, the papers of these documents are very thick, so I made a mistake. At most 20 minutes, I can finish reading them all.¡±


    After saying that, he did not say anything else and continued to pick up the next document and read it quickly.


    The others looked at each other and were so surprised that they could not say a word.


    There were so many documents, and he could read them all in twenty minutes and memorize them?


    Carl¡¯s face was filled with strong distrust. He had never seen the magic of Li Zhuo¡¯s learning ability.


    However, Alsop and Alan were convinced. Putnam sat quietly in the same place with a faint smile.


    Thirty minutes later, Henry came to the laboratory with a cup of hot coffee in his hands.


    Seeing that no one had left, he was stunned for a moment and said, ¡°Why are you still here?¡±


    In his imagination, everyone should have been bored and went to the entertainment room to play games.


    However, everyone looked at him with a strange expression. This made him very puzzled.


    ¡°Alright, I got it. Do you all think that this kid can memorize all the documents within three hours?¡±


    ¡°Even if you want to be an idiot, please be a smart idiot. Go to the entertainment room and play a few rounds of games. Come back in three hours, okay?¡±


    Henry was trying his best to ridicule everyone.


    However, this ridicule made everyone¡¯s expressions become even stranger. Henry looked at everyone¡¯s faces and felt that something was wrong.


    Behind Henry, Li Zhuo¡¯s voice could be heard. ¡°Mr. Henry, I have memorized all these documents..¡±

 Chapter 28 - Pharmaceutical Genius

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    ¡°What did you say?!¡± Henry turned his head in disbelief.


    In fact, Henry had lied before.


    These documents, experimental records, the ways and characteristics of various ingredients were all recorded here.


    When he had just entered the profession of pharmacist, he had learned much less than these things.


    Now, this young man in front of him actually only spent an hour to memorize all these things?


    Even shorter than the three hours they agreed on? How could it be?!


    Henry did not believe that such a thing could happen in the world. He also did not believe that there would be such a person in the world.


    He narrowed his eyes and slowly walked in front of Li Zhuo. He said in a deep voice, ¡°Li, do you know what will happen if you lie to me?¡±


    Henry¡¯s expression was very ugly. He felt that Li Zhuo was either lying to him, or playing with him.


    However, Li Zhuo¡¯s expression was still incomparably calm. His tone did not have the slightest ripple as he said, ¡°Mr. Henry, I don¡¯t know. But I didn¡¯t lie. I did remember everything.¡±


    The expression on Henry¡¯s face became even colder.


    He raised his hand and pointed at the various instruments on the table. ¡°Alright, since you said that you didn¡¯t lie, then please prove yourself. Now, immediately make a silent potion for me.¡±


    ¡°If you can¡¯t make it¡­¡±


    Henry was just about to say something to scare Li Zhuo to put some pressure on him.


    However, before he could finish his words, Li Zhuo had already started to take action.


    He accurately found a few types of reagents on the shelf behind him and started to mix them.


    During the whole process, although Li Zhuo¡¯s technique was a bit clumsy and he did not seem to be very skilled, the steps in the process were not wrong at all.


    Seeing this scene, Henry had a bad premonition in his heart.


    Could it be that this kid really learned it? How could it be?


    However, something he did not dare to believe and did not want to admit happened in front of his eyes.


    At this time, Li Zhuo was like an accurate pharmaceutical machine.


    His fingers and arms seemed to never tremble, and the dosage of the reagent injected into the beaker was always the most accurate.


    After three minutes, a transparent bottle of the potion was finished.


    Li Zhuo smiled and used a syringe to draw the liquid from the beaker and handed it to Henry.


    Henry took the syringe with an ugly expression. He knew very well that there was absolutely nothing wrong with this medicine.


    The entire process was done strictly according to the procedures recorded in the documents.


    However, as if unwilling to accept this fact, Henry still frowned and said, ¡°I have to go through an experiment to confirm whether you made a mistake or not.¡±


    As soon as he finished speaking, Henry raised his hand and threw the syringe in his hand.


    The next moment, a pig-like cry came from the corner of the room.


    ¡°F*ck! If you want to try, then try. Why are you stabbing me!!¡± Armstrong¡¯s painful voice could be heard.


    At this time, the syringe had accurately stabbed Armstrong¡¯s arm, and it was still shaking gently.


    Alsop, who was at the side, smiled and grabbed the syringe, slowly pushing the liquid in the syringe into Armstrong¡¯s muscles.


    ¡°Okay, Armstrong, just bear with it.¡±


    ¡°Why do I have to bear with it?! Can¡¯t you find someone else to do the experiment?!¡± Armstrong gritted his teeth in pain and shouted excitedly.


    Alsop shrugged and said, ¡°Then you have to ask Henry. I didn¡¯t choose the experimental subject.¡±


    ¡°What do you mean you didn¡¯t choose it? Then don¡¯t help him inject the liquid in!!¡±


    ¡°Haha, I just thought it was fun.¡± A playful smile appeared on Alsop¡¯s face.


    However, Armstrong¡¯s shouts did not continue. The excited expression on Armstrong¡¯s face gradually disappeared and was replaced by a wave of confusion.


    Then, the confusion turned into fear.


    ¡°What¡­ What did you say? Why can¡¯t I hear it?¡±


    Alsop was slightly stunned and said, ¡°I said, I just thought it was fun.¡±


    After saying this, the fear on Armstrong¡¯s face became even more intense.


    He grabbed Alsop¡¯s arm in a panic and said nervously, ¡°I really can¡¯t hear anymore! I really can¡¯t hear anymore!!¡±


    ¡°Are you trying to scare me? This is a prank, right?¡±


    ¡°Actually, you¡¯re all just moving your lips and pretending to talk, right? You¡¯re all trying to trick me, right?¡±


    Armstrong¡¯s voice became louder and louder, and the expression on his face became more and more afraid.


    He realized that he could not even hear his own voice anymore. No matter how loud he was, it was as if he was in a vacuum where he could not speak.


    He was completely flustered.


    At this time, no one cared much about Armstrong¡¯s fear. Everyone looked at Li Zhuo with strange eyes.


    This kid, did he really succeed? He only read the documents for an hour, and he remembered everything?


    Even Alsop, who had always believed that Li Zhuo could do it, showed a hint of surprise on her face.


    She believed that Li Zhuo could do it, but she did not expect that Li Zhuo could do it so perfectly.


    At this time, Henry¡¯s face had already become very ugly. He discovered that not only did Li Zhuo learn how to make the ¡®silent potion¡¯, but he even controlled the dosage more accurately than he did.


    That was because the time it took for the potion to take effect on Armstrong was the best proof.


    If it was Henry¡¯s own silent potion, it would take at least ten seconds to take effect. However, the potion made by Li Zhuo took only a few seconds to take effect successfully.


    In addition to the precise dosage, the rapid modulation process was also one of the reasons.


    Li Zhuo was very confident, he seemed to be able to accurately make the next move without thinking or recalling, and then perfectly replicate it in an extremely short time.


    This was simply¡­ Genius!


    Thinking of this, Henry was subconsciously shocked. How could he have such a thought?


    In Henry¡¯s eyes, there could only be one genius in the pharmaceutical industry, and that was Henry himself. How could a newbie become a genius?


    He must have been lucky, he just happened to remember the way to make the silent medicine.


    Henry seemed to be comforting himself. He made such a conclusion in his heart that even he himself could not believe it. Then he continued to say, ¡°make another potion, a sleeping potion.¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    Without any hesitation or hesitation, Li Zhuo immediately turned around and selected a few reagents from the shelf behind him. Then, he began a new round of concoctions.


    Besides Armstrong¡¯s shouts in the entire laboratory, there was no other sound.


    Everyone was holding their breath as they watched Li Zhuo make the medicine.


    They¡­ were witnessing a miracle!


    Armstrong suddenly revealed a joyful smile and shouted, ¡°I¡¯m cured! I can hear now!¡±


    Li Zhuo had already very naturally drawn the prepared medicine into the syringe, then walked in front of Armstrong and stuck the syringe into Armstrong¡¯s body.


    Armstrong felt pain in his arm again. When he turned his head to look, the syringe on his arm had turned from one to two.


    ¡°F*ck! What are you doing? Can¡¯t you¡­¡± Armstrong shouted excitedly.


    When he was halfway through shouting, his voice had gradually become softer, and his expression had gradually become sleepy.


    The next moment, Armstrong fell straight to the ground and let out a heavy snore.


    Zzz¡­.

 Chapter 29 - The Most Difficult Potion in History!

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Looking at Armstrong, who was sleeping soundly on the ground, everyone fell silent. Even Henry¡¯s eyes revealed a trace of shock.


    He really believed it now.


    However¡­ Looking at the calm look on Li Zhuo¡¯s face, Henry felt a little annoyed.


    Why did this kid not seem surprised at all? It was as if he thought that he would definitely succeed.


    This confidence and certainty made Henry even more frustrated. He practically gritted his teeth and spat out a sentence. ¡°Fine, I admit that you are very good.¡±


    ¡°But if you want to be considered to have ¡®learned¡¯ the pharmaceutical technology, you are not qualified.¡±


    ¡°As long as you can produce the most difficult drug that I have developed so far, I will acknowledge you!¡±


    After saying that, he looked at Alsop and said, ¡°as long as he succeeds, I¡¯ll be your servant for three days. I¡¯ll keep my word!¡±


    Alsop did not dare to reply.


    She believed that Li Zhuo could do it, and the two previous adjustments of the potion had also proved Li Zhuo¡¯s strength. However, since Henry was so confident, it definitely would not be that simple.


    She might really be overturned.


    Of course, Alsop was not someone who would go back on her word. Since she had made an agreement, she would definitely do it.


    After hesitating for a moment, Alsop looked up at Henry and said, ¡°It¡¯s a deal!¡±


    ¡°If Li fails, you can ask me to do anything!¡±


    When Alsop said this, there was a hint of determination in her eyes. In the end, she still chose to believe in Li Zhuo.


    When Henry heard Alsop¡¯s reply, he sneered, ¡°Then get ready to wear a frog costume and sing happy birthday while running around Section S.¡±


    ¡°Let me tell you, although Li Zhuo¡¯s performance is indeed very surprising, it is absolutely impossible for him to learn this potion in such a short time.¡±


    ¡°You have to know that this potion requires a total of thirty-six different deeds to be added, and six different debugging methods to be used interchangeably.¡±


    ¡°The accuracy of the dosage must be very high throughout the entire process, and the error can only be controlled within 0.00000001%.¡±


    ¡°Once it fails, the effect produced will be very different!¡±


    Hearing this, Alsop¡¯s face turned ugly.


    Although she did not know how to make medicine, just from Henry¡¯s description, she could already imagine how difficult it was to create this medicine.


    At this time, Armstrong slowly woke up, rubbed his dizzy head, and muttered, ¡°my head is so dizzy¡­¡±


    ¡°How far along are we in the competition now?¡±


    After all, Armstrong was also involved in this bet, so he was actually very concerned about the outcome of the bet. He did not want to be Alsop¡¯s servant.


    Carl helped Armstrong up from the ground and said, ¡°Now it¡¯s the last round. As long as Li makes the most difficult potion that Henry researched, Li will win.¡±


    ¡°The most difficult potion? What potion?¡± Armstrong was slightly stunned and asked subconsciously.


    When he heard this, Carl was also stunned. Yes, what kind of potion is this?


    Everyone looked at Henry.


    Henry sneered and said, ¡°I researched for three whole years to successfully develop this potion.¡±


    ¡°I named it ¡®as long as you inject this potion, you can¡¯t help but tap dance¡¯!¡±


    ¡°Hey, hey, hey, the effect of this potion is too strange!!¡±


    ¡°You actually spent three years researching such a strange potion?!¡±


    ¡°How can someone be able to concoct such a potion?!¡±


    Armstrong was completely shocked when he heard the name of the potion.


    Was this the f*cking potion that the top pharmacists of the century had researched for three years to produce?


    It had no effect at all!!


    However, Alsop said with some disappointment,


    ¡°I thought the hardest potion was the zombie potion. I didn¡¯t expect it to be such a boring potion!¡±


    ¡°Hey, hey, hey, don¡¯t keep thinking about the zombie potion! You can¡¯t use me as an experiment for that kind of thing!!¡±


    However, just as Armstrong finished complaining, Li Zhuo¡¯s voice came from behind the research table. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, of course, someone can make this kind of potion.¡±


    ¡°For example¡­ Me.¡±


    Li Zhuo smiled and raised his left hand. There was a syringe in his hand, which was no different from the previous two syringes.


    The only difference was that the color of the potion in the syringe was red this time. It was as if a tube of fresh blood had been extracted.


    Seeing this scene, Armstrong became nervous.


    ¡°Hey, hey, hey, don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re going to use me as an experiment again. I don¡¯t agree, I definitely won¡¯t¡­ Mmm! Mmmmm!!¡±


    Armstrong had just made a protesting sound when Alan pushed him back to the ground and covered his mouth.


    ¡°You can start testing the medicine.¡± Alan smiled proudly.


    Armstrong¡¯s eyes revealed a trace of fear. He was very afraid that Li Zhuo could successfully make the medicine. After all, he really did not want to tap dance.


    He was also very afraid that Li Zhuo would fail to create the potion. In that case, no one knew what kind of effect the medicine would have?


    At this time, almost all of Armstrong¡¯s body was showing signs of resistance.


    However, Henry did not care about Armstrong¡¯s reaction at all. He widened his eyes and slowly walked toward Li Zhuo, looking at the medicine in Li Zhuo¡¯s hand.


    Judging from the color, Li Zhuo had obviously succeeded in making the medicine.


    He felt very incredulous at this moment.


    This young man who had first come into contact with the medicine could actually make the medicine within the time they spoke.


    This was the most difficult drug!


    A total of thirty-six reagents and six concocting methods had to be used interchangeably. Not only did the error have to be controlled to an extremely low level, but even the concocting time could not exceed 108 seconds.


    Wait a minute¡­


    Henry suddenly froze when he thought of this.


    Li Zhuo¡¯s concocting time seemed to be¡­ much faster than 108 seconds.


    He¡­ really did it?


    Henry looked at Li Zhuo¡¯s calm expression and couldn¡¯t help but swallow his saliva.


    Henry knew that Li Zhuo¡¯s expression represented that he was very confident. This kind of confidence was as if he had never worried that he would fail.


    The corners of Henry¡¯s eyes twitched slightly. He had already subconsciously panicked. He even felt that this young man seemed to be more suitable to be a pharmacist than himself!


    Thinking of this, Henry could not help but shake his head, trying to dispel this thought in his mind.


    Although Li Zhuo¡¯s production process was very fast and also showed very strong confidence¡­ However, whether there was an effect or not, he had to try to know!


    Thinking of this, Henry grabbed the potion in Li Zhuo¡¯s hand and turned his head to look at Armstrong.


    At this moment, Armstrong¡¯s eyes became extremely frightened, and the extent of his body¡¯s struggle also became larger.


    However, Carl and Alsop immediately joined the team that suppressed Armstrong.


    Finally, Armstrong¡¯s eyes turned from fear to despair.


    Five seconds later, a heart-wrenching scream came from the laboratory.


    Another ten seconds passed.


    The sound of heels stepping on the floor came faintly from the lab..

 Chapter 30 - Free Fitness Trainer

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    ¡°Wilson, please send over some snacks from Caracas. They need to be hot.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡±


    ¡°No, no, no, we don¡¯t need six. Four is enough.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t ask why. They don¡¯t deserve it now.¡±


    After hanging up the phone, Alsop smiled and adjusted the sunglasses on her face, stretching lazily.


    In the next moment, a pair of hands immediately stretched out from behind her and draped a silk jacket over Alsop¡¯s shoulders.


    ¡°You did well, but I didn¡¯t give you a tip,¡± Alsop said with a charming smile.


    Armstrong, who was behind her, gritted his teeth and squeezed out a smile. ¡°It¡¯s my honor to be able to serve you, beautiful Ms. Alsop.¡±


    Seeing this scene, Li Zhuo stared at her with his dead fish eyes and complained. ¡°It¡¯s just being a servant. There¡¯s no need to do this, right? Besides¡­ Where did you get these clothes from?!¡±


    At this moment, Armstrong, Henry, and Carl, who were behind Alsop, were all wearing neat black suits and red bow ties. This outfit was no different from the waiters in a slightly better restaurant.


    ¡°Of course, it¡¯s necessary to do this. If not, how can you be considered a servant?¡± Alsop said matter-of-factly.


    Li Zhuo shrugged and did not say anything.


    To him, as long as he was not asked to be the servant himself, then it did not matter who was the servant.


    ¡°Right, where are Alan and Putnam?¡±


    ¡°Who knows¡­ Aiya, I feel that my calves have been very sore recently. I must be too tired,¡± Alsop said very deliberately.


    At this moment, Armstrong, who had been gnashing his teeth just now, suddenly became enthusiastic. ¡°Leave it to me. I think that with my finger technique, which has been famous for many years, I can definitely make the sore feeling on your calves go away perfectly.¡±


    ¡°No, no, no, let me do it.¡± Henry coughed and took out a bottle of medicine from his pocket. ¡°As long as this bottle of ¡®massage for external use¡¯ medicine is applied on Ms. Alsop¡¯s calf, coupled with my special massage technique, it will definitely be more effective than your massage.¡±


    Armstrong was completely shocked. ¡°Hey, hey, hey, you actually carry this strange medicine with you!! That¡¯s cheating!¡±


    ¡°As a servant, I naturally have to think of Ms. Alsop and prepare all the things that might be used in advance!¡±


    ¡°Armstrong, you¡¯re still far from it!!¡±


    Henry revealed a proud smile as if the ownership of the beautiful job of massaging Alsop was already his.


    After all, Alsop¡¯s charm was still very high. Whether it was her appearance, figure, or even her skin, it was impeccable.


    For such a beauty, which adult man would not be tempted?


    However, Alsop reached out his hand and pointed at Carl. ¡°I want you to massage my calves for me.¡±


    When Carl heard this, he revealed a reluctant look. ¡°Aren¡¯t they very enthusiastic? Just let them massage it.¡±


    ¡°Let them massage it? I¡¯m afraid that they will do something bad to me. It¡¯s more reassuring to let children do such things.¡±


    Armstrong protested, ¡°I think you¡¯re slandering me!¡±


    Then he looked at Alsop¡¯s beautiful legs and could not help but wipe his saliva.


    Alsop rolled her eyes at him, pulled young Carl over, and began to bully the temporary servant.


    ¡°¡­¡± Li Zhuo was speechless.


    Were these people always like this?


    Although these guys did have their own specialties, and their skills were very high. However, the way they usually acted¡­ was completely different from the top criminals in the world¡­


    Li Zhuo sighed, got up from the beach chair, and said, ¡°Forget it, I¡¯m going back.¡±


    ¡°The snacks from Caracas haven¡¯t been delivered yet. They¡¯re very delicious.¡±


    ¡°No need, Carl can have mine.¡±


    Armstrong said, ¡°I want to eat too.¡±


    ¡°Shut up.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡±


    ¡­


    After returning to his room from the ¡®background wall¡¯ on the beach, Li Zhuo slowly walked along the corridor.


    He had originally thought that Section S was a very dangerous place, filled with vicious criminals. Who knew that it was actually a bunch of clowns?


    Moreover¡­ his life here was quite comfortable.


    He did not feel like he was ¡®in jail¡¯ at all.


    Thinking about it carefully, not only did he earn millions after coming to Section S, but he also learned several special skills.


    Lock picking, pharmacy, moving silently¡­


    These skills might not be useful in Li Zhuo¡¯s future life ¡ª after all, he did not really want to be a criminal. However, learning some skills was still beneficial to him. What if he used them in the future?


    Thinking of this, Li Zhuo suddenly stopped.


    What if¡­ He learned all the skills of others¡­ What would happen?


    The world¡¯s top hacker master ¡ª Carl.


    The world¡¯s top psychology master ¡ª Alsop.


    And the world¡¯s top killer ¡ª Putnam.


    Wait, forget about the last one.


    The corners of Li Zhuo¡¯s eyes twitched twice. As a student, it was too strange for him to learn how to kill.


    Li Zhuo did not think that he would kill people in the future. He was only in prison because he was framed.


    While his thoughts were running wild, Li Zhuo arrived at the intersection of the corridor.


    Just as Li Zhuo was about to turn the corner, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.


    When the two saw each other, they were slightly stunned.


    ¡°Good morning, Putnam.¡±


    After seeing the person clearly, Li Zhuo took the initiative to greet him. Putnam nodded with a smile. He was still as silent as ever, trying his best not to speak if he could.


    After simply expressing his friendliness, Putnam walked past Li Zhuo. It seemed that he was going to take a shower after finishing his workout.


    Li Zhuo looked at Putnam¡¯s back as he left. After thinking for a moment, he walked towards the path Putnam had taken.


    Although he did not want to learn how to kill, he could still learn how to work out. Since he had nothing to do, he might as well go and try it now.


    ¡­


    After arriving at the gym, Li Zhuo saw a variety of fitness equipment in the room. He was silent for a moment.


    He suddenly realized that he did not know how to use the fitness equipment at all!


    Of course, except for the dumbbell.


    Li Zhuo walked in front of a dumbbell. After a moment of silence, he held the handle in the middle with both hands and tried to lift it up.


    However, the dumbbell seemed to be fixed to the ground and did not move at all. Li Zhuo turned his head to look at the weight marked on the dumbbell ¡ª 50kg.


    ¡°Generally speaking, the medium weight of a dumbbell is at most 30kg!!¡±


    ¡°Why would someone use such a heavy dumbbell?!¡±


    Li Zhuo wiped the sweat off his forehead and could not help but ridicule.


    A voice came from behind him. ¡°30kg is too light for me.¡±


    Li Zhuo¡¯s body slightly stiffened. He awkwardly turned his head back to take a look and laughed awkwardly twice.


    Did this guy not go to take a shower?! Why did he suddenly come back?!


    Putnam did not seem to care about Li Zhuo¡¯s expression. Instead, he walked up to Li Zhuo and easily picked up the 50kg special dumbbell with one hand.


    He said with a smile, ¡°Do you need a fitness instructor? The kind that¡¯s professional and free..¡±

 Chapter 31 - It Was Even Better than Touching His Butt

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Hearing this, Li Zhuo was slightly stunned. ¡°You want to teach me how to exercise?¡±


    Putnam did not say anything. He just smiled and nodded.


    Then, he picked another dumbbell from the ground. It looked exactly the same as the one in Putnam¡¯s hand, but it only weighed 15 kg.


    ¡°Try this.¡± Putnam handed the lighter dumbbell to Li Zhuo.


    Li Zhuo was slightly stunned, but before he could react, he caught the dumbbell.


    Hey, hey, hey, I haven¡¯t said I want to learn it yet!!


    However, Putnam did not care about this. Instead, he started to rub the iron while staring at Li Zhuo.


    Although he did not say anything, his eyes and movements had already expressed what he wanted to express.


    Quickly learn from my movements!


    ¡°¡­¡±


    It seemed that he had inexplicably become compelled to learn¡­


    The atmosphere in the gym gradually became strange. The two men were exercising face to face.


    There was no other sound in the gym other than Li Zhuo¡¯s slight panting.


    After a while, Putnam stopped what he was doing and said, ¡°You¡¯ve done 40 rounds. I can let you rest for a while.¡±


    After Li Zhuo heard this, he put down the dumbbell in his hand and sat down on the chair, panting.


    Why must I have to go through this?!


    I just came over to take a look out of curiosity. I didn¡¯t say that I had to work out!!


    However, Putnam was a person who was not good at expressing himself.


    When he saw Li Zhuo walk into the gym, he took the initiative to teach Li Zhuo out of ¡®good intentions¡¯.


    Although Li Zhuo showed a certain degree of resistance, it was only limited to his expression of resistance. After all, the man in front of him was known as the world¡¯s most professional killer!


    Li Zhuo did not dare to disobey Putnam.


    In Putnam¡¯s view, it was normal for beginners to feel tired and want to give up. What Li Zhuo needed most at this time was someone to encourage him as a beginner!


    Putnam¡¯s encouragement method was also very simple. He accompanied Li Zhuo to work out in front of him and then stared at Li Zhuo, not letting Li Zhuo slack off.


    However, for Li Zhuo, the psychological pressure was even greater¡­


    Outside the corridor, Alan twisted his neck as he walked towards the gym. By now, Putnam should have finished his workout.


    For Alan, working out with a silent man in the same room was too much of a struggle.


    It would have been better if Putnam had said a few words, but that guy could really exercise for an hour or two without saying a word.


    That was why Alan deliberately avoided Putnam¡¯s workout time to prevent the two of them from running into each other. In comparison, Alan preferred to work out alone.


    However, just as Alan walked out of the gym and was about to open the door, Putnam¡¯s voice came from the gym.


    ¡°Although it will hurt a little at first, once you get used to it, you¡¯ll feel very good.¡±


    Outside the door, Alan was slightly stunned when he heard the voice.


    Why was Putnam still in the gym? Who was he talking to?


    Although it would hurt a little at first, he would feel very good after getting used to it?


    What did that mean?!


    Just as Alan was feeling puzzled, another voice came from inside the door.


    ¡°Really¡­ ha¡­ don¡¯t¡­ lie to me¡­¡±


    Alan¡¯s eyes widened when he heard this voice.


    It was¡­ Li Zhuo??


    What were the kid and Putnam doing inside?


    ¡°Your posture isn¡¯t right. You have to change your posture. I¡¯ll teach you.¡±


    ¡°Wait! This¡­ is very¡­ painful!¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t move. Just keep it like this. Yes, this is the posture. You¡¯re great!¡±


    ¡°But¡­ this is really¡­ very painful¡­¡±


    The conversation inside the door continued, and Alan, who was outside the door, was completely shocked.


    His mind seemed to have gone blank, and he had completely lost the ability to think.


    Although it was not very good to think like this, but¡­


    Could they be inside¡­ doing that thing?!


    Impossible!!


    Alan subconsciously wanted to deny it, but he carefully thought about it.


    One was a silent killer with muscles. The other was a smart young student.


    If these two guys were together¡­


    They appeared to be¡­ quite compatible?


    Suddenly, Allen was shocked. Why did he subconsciously give such a comment?!


    At this time, the sound in the gym had stopped. Alan¡¯s body tensed up, and he subconsciously wanted to escape.


    If the two of them came out and saw him eavesdropping outside the door, it would definitely be very awkward!


    However, just as Alan was about to leave, Putnam¡¯s voice came from the gym again.


    ¡°Alright, I know you¡¯re in a little pain, sit down and rest.¡±


    Hearing this, Alan finally gave up on the idea of escaping.


    And Li Zhuo¡¯s voice came from the gym again.


    ¡°I¡­ Can¡¯t sit still, it hurts!¡±


    ¡®Can¡¯t sit still? It hurts?¡¯


    Alan was shocked again.


    They are really doing that thing!!


    Subconsciously, Alan imagined the scene of Putnam pressing on Li Zhuo¡¯s body. A strong feeling of nausea could not be suppressed. Alan¡¯s face suddenly turned pale.


    He had actually been living with a guy who lusted after a man¡¯s butt!!


    Thinking of this, Alan subconsciously tightened his anus and hurriedly left the gym.


    After Alan left, the gym became lively again.


    ¡°Alright, have you rested enough? Let¡¯s run seven kilometers.¡±


    ¡°Seven kilometers? Aren¡¯t you trying to kill me?!¡±


    ¡°Hang in there!!¡±


    ¡­


    On the beach, Alsop squinted his eyes and enjoyed Caracas¡¯s snacks.


    Carl held Alsop¡¯s calf with one hand and chewed on a piece of waffle with the other.


    Meanwhile, Armstrong and Henry stood aside and watched while drooling.


    ¡°I¡¯m so envious of him,¡± Henry could not help but say.


    ¡°Yeah, I¡¯m so envious of him. I want to eat waffles too.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡±


    Was this guy¡¯s focus actually on the snacks?


    At this moment, the door of the background wall suddenly opened. Alan rushed over and stood in front of Alsop. He panted and said, ¡°I¡­ I just found¡­ something big!¡±


    ¡°What are you talking about? It can¡¯t be that Lee was touched on the butt by Putnam, right?¡± Alsop said. She did not even take off her sunglasses while laying down on the beach chair.


    Alan was silent for a moment and said, ¡°You guessed half right.¡±


    ¡°What do you mean?¡± Alsop was slightly stunned.


    ¡°It¡¯s not touching the butt, it¡¯s stabbing the butt¡­ it¡¯s very painful.¡±


    ??


    Are you f*cking kidding me?

 Chapter 32 - Act More Natural

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    ¡°Hey, hey, hey, don¡¯t talk nonsense about this kind of thing. The two of them¡­ shouldn¡¯t be in that kind of relationship,¡± Alsop said with some uncertainty.


    She wanted to deny the truth of this matter now, it was only because she was a little surprised and shocked by the news in her heart.


    However, when she thought about it carefully, she felt that it was indeed possible for the two of them to be together.


    However, it might be possible. She still could not believe such a thing. She had to have evidence.


    ¡°Of course I¡¯m not spouting nonsense!¡± There was a hint of fear in Alan¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°At that time, I wanted to go to the gym to work out, but guess what I heard?¡±


    ¡°I heard Putnam ask Li Zhuo to change his position, but Li Zhuo said that he felt some pain.¡±


    ¡°Putnam also said¡­ He also said that it will be a little painful at the beginning, but after getting used to it, it will be very pleasant!¡±


    Listening to these lines, Alsop¡¯s expression had become extremely shocked.


    Carl, who was beside him, had even stopped what he was doing and stared blankly at Alan.


    Although he was still young, he was very mature.


    Of course, he could understand what Alan had just said.


    ¡°Then? What happened?¡± Alsop swallowed her saliva. The curiosity in her heart had been completely aroused.


    She now completely believed the information Alan brought.


    ¡°Then¡­¡± Alan frowned and recalled. ¡°Then, Putnam seemed to say that he wanted Lee to rest for a while, and Lee said that¡­ he couldn¡¯t sit still.¡±


    ?!


    Couldn¡¯t sit still?


    Was it that exciting?!


    Armstrong looked at Alsop¡¯s expression, which gradually changed from shock to excitement. He curled his lips and said, ¡°why do you look so happy?¡±


    ¡°Shouldn¡¯t you reflect on it? You¡¯re the only woman in the entire s district, but they chose¡­ to keep each other warm.¡±


    When Alsop heard this, she rolled her eyes at him and said, ¡°What do you know? This is called sexual orientation. It¡¯s very normal for some men to be naturally uninterested in the opposite sex.¡±


    ¡°Then, since this is very normal, why would they hide in the gym and secretly do such a thing?¡± Armstrong curled his lips again.


    However, Alsop sighed, picked up her sunglasses, and looked at Armstrong as if he was looking at an idiot. ¡°Arm, are you an idiot? You¡¯re really an idiot, right?¡±


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if they¡¯re gay or not, they wouldn¡¯t do something like that in front of us, would they?


    ¡°Besides, what if they¡¯re worried that we don¡¯t understand them and treat them as outliers?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Henry nodded and said, ¡°I agree with Alsop on this point. There are too many people in the world who can only accept their own views. They clearly show repulsion towards individuals who are different from them.¡±


    ¡°I think we should act more naturally. It¡¯s best if there¡¯s no difference from before.¡±


    ¡°If it¡¯s necessary, we¡¯d better pretend that we don¡¯t know about this. Do you understand?¡±


    Alsop and Carl nodded. Although Armstrong still felt that it was somewhat unacceptable, he still nodded in the end.


    After all, everyone lived together. If it was too awkward, it would be difficult to get along with each other.


    Only Alan sighed and said with a bitter face, ¡°Although I can understand them, but.. I heard those words with my own ears.¡±


    ¡°There are some scenes that I can easily imagine without even using my brain cells. I¡¯m afraid that once I see them, I won¡¯t be able to control my expression.¡±


    Alsop glanced at him and said, ¡°Just imagine that you¡¯re planning to steal from them so that you can control your expression.¡±


    Alan was slightly stunned. This was a good idea. As the world¡¯s top thief, he would never make a mistake while working.


    While they were discussing, the door to the background wall was opened.


    Putnam and Li Zhuo appeared to be very intimate as they walked from the indoor to the beach.


    However, Li Zhuo¡¯s walking posture still looked a little unnatural. It seemed that it really hurt just now.


    During this period of time, Li Zhuo received some training from Putnam. He exercised his calves, arms, abdomen, and other parts.


    Although Li Zhuo felt that the process was very painful, he was very clear that Putnam¡¯s guidance was absolutely very suitable for him.


    As long as he persisted in following the training method taught by Putnam, Li Zhuo would be able to greatly improve his physique very quickly.


    Therefore, Zhuo Li was very grateful to Putnam.


    Also, for a student like Zhuo Li who could persist and strictly follow the coach¡¯s instructions, Putnam also admired him very much.


    Therefore, Putnam was more willing to teach Zhuo Li, and even hoped to train Zhuo Li into a tough man.


    Therefore, they seemed to have a feeling of¡­ mutual appreciation.


    However, in the eyes of Alsop and the others, this feeling completely changed. In everyone¡¯s eyes, the two of them looked no different from a couple now.


    Look at the way they looked at each other. Was this really something that ordinary friends would have?


    ¡°Hi, you¡¯re all here?¡± Li Zhuo took the initiative to greet them.


    Alsop subconsciously raised her hand and greeted them with a smile. However, her eyes could not help but reveal an observant attitude.


    As a top-notch psychological master, she could completely sense that the attitude of these two people towards each other was already somewhat different from their attitude towards others.


    As expected, something had happened between them!


    Thinking of this, Alsop became even more excited.


    Seeing Alsop¡¯s expression, the corners of Carl¡¯s eyes twitched slightly. What happened to acting natural?


    He turned his head to look at Armstrong.


    At this time, Armstrong¡¯s whole body appeared a little stiff, as if he did not know how to face Li Zhuo and Putnam.


    He seemed to be trying very hard to act natural, but this only made it even more unnatural.


    Carl sighed in his heart, and turned his head to look at Henry again.


    Henry did not act unnatural. He nodded slightly at the two of them as a response to Li Zhuo¡¯s greeting.


    Seeing Henry¡¯s performance, Carl breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that not everyone could do it.


    He looked at Alan one last time. In fact, the person Carl was most worried about was Alan.


    After all, as Alan said, he had heard the conversation with his own ears. It was naturally difficult for him to act naturally.


    Carl prayed in his heart when he looked at Alan. He hoped that Alan would not expose this matter.


    However, when Carl really saw Alan¡¯s expression, he was stunned. Alan¡¯s expression was normal as if he was a passerby who did not know anyone.


    At the same time, Alan¡¯s eyes were on Putnam and Li Zhuo, sizing them up quietly. It was as if a pickpocket was observing what valuable things the ¡®prey¡¯ had on them.


    Hey, hey, hey, I¡¯m just letting you act natural, I¡¯m not asking you to actually steal from them!!


    You¡¯re just too deep in character!

 Chapter 33 - Private Two-Person Space

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    At this time, Carl was secretly observing the others.


    Armstrong was a little stiff, and his whole body revealed an uneasiness.


    Alan looked up and down at Li Zhuo and Putnam, as if he was about to steal something.


    Alsop¡¯s eyes were shining, and she looked very excited.


    Only Henry was very natural, because he did not have any feelings about this matter. For him, developing a new drug was much more interesting than these messy things.


    Li Zhuo looked at everyone¡¯s appearance and raised his eyebrows slightly. Why did he feel that there was something wrong with everyone¡¯s attitude today?


    Could it be that everyone saw that I exercised today? Naturally, Li Zhuo would not guess their true thoughts. Normal people would not be able to think in that direction.


    Therefore, Li Zhuo subconsciously thought that everyone could see the changes in his physique.


    Was it obvious on the first day?


    Li Zhuo subconsciously looked at his own body. There was no difference.


    All of a sudden, Li Zhuo felt some respect for these criminal masters of Section S.


    As expected of top masters, they could see the changes in him at once. This observational ability was amazing!


    Li Zhuo noticed that there was something wrong with everyone, so naturally, Putnam noticed it as well.


    He was silent for a moment before asking, ¡°You guys¡­ why do you guys feel a little strange?¡±


    ¡°No!¡± Alsop, Armstrong, Alan, and Carl shouted out almost at the same time.


    Henry was the only one who watched the crowd coldly. There was only one comment left in his heart. ¡®A bunch of idiots.¡¯


    Putnam could obviously see that everyone was hiding something, but his personality made him too lazy to ask.


    ¡°Oh right, we¡¯re going to the kitchen to make some food now. Are you interested in going together?¡±


    The food in Section S had always been arranged by Wilson, and it would not be difficult for Wilson to arrange for a three-star Michelin chef.


    However, Putnam had his own understanding of diet meals. He firmly believed that the food he prepared would be more beneficial to weight loss.


    Hearing this, the others looked at each other and were slightly stunned. Armstrong was about to raise his hand and say that he wanted to go too, but he was immediately stopped by Alsop.


    Alsop waved her hand excitedly and said, ¡°Well¡­ you guys go by yourselves. We won¡¯t go.¡±


    Armstrong frowned. Did they not agree to get along as naturally as usual? Why did they not let me go eat with them?


    He raised his other hand and wanted to go. However, Alsop pressed his second hand again and glared at him fiercely. ¡°You¡¯re just a servant, what right do you have to eat?¡±


    Armstrong turned pale with fright.


    Was this something that a f*cking human could do?


    Was this something that a f*cking human could say?


    Did I not even have the right to eat while being a servant for three days?


    Armstrong still wanted to persevere, but Alsop said with a cold gaze, ¡°You¡¯d better not think about raising your hand again, or I¡¯ll cut off your ¡®third hand¡¯, understand?¡±


    Armstrong shuddered. He looked at Alsop¡¯s eyes and then at his crotch. Then, he shut his mouth and nodded crazily.


    Seeing that Armstrong had given up struggling, Alsop revealed a satisfied smile again. She smiled and turned to look at Li Zhuo and Putnam. ¡°You guys go by yourselves. Look, they don¡¯t want to go.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡± Li Zhuo was speechless.


    Why do I feel that Armstrong actually wants to go?


    However, Li Zhuo also knew that Armstrong had lost the bet. Now that they were all Alsop¡¯s servants, they had to do whatever Alsop asked them to do.


    Naturally, Li Zhuo did not want to meddle in this matter.


    ¡°Alright, since you guys aren¡¯t going, then we¡¯ll go by ourselves.¡± After saying that, the two of them smiled at each other and returned to the room.


    When Li Zhuo and Putnam left the beach, Armstrong opened his mouth again and said aggrievedly, ¡°I¡¯ve only been your servant for three days. Why won¡¯t you let me eat?¡±


    ¡°Won¡¯t I starve to death in these three days?¡±


    Alsop let go of his hand and put on her sunglasses again. ¡°What do you know?¡±


    ¡°Do you want to get involved between them? It¡¯s a chance for couples to be alone together.¡±


    ¡°This is their rare ¡®private two-person space¡¯, understand?¡±


    ¡°Besides¡­ maybe they came to invite us just so that we don¡¯t disturb them for the next period of time?¡±


    Hearing this, Armstrong finally understood.


    Indeed! Why would he stand between Putnam and Li Zhuo¡¯s happiness?


    If they had to pretend that they did not have a special relationship, would that not be a bit too much?


    At the thought of Li Zhuo and Putnam looking at each other affectionately, Armstrong could not help but gasp.


    That scene was unimaginable¡­


    ¡°Then what should we do next?¡± Armstrong could not help but ask. He really hoped to get an answer such as ¡®let¡¯s find a place to eat¡¯.


    However, the excitement on Alsop¡¯s face became more obvious. ¡°Of course, we¡¯re going to follow them.¡±


    ??


    What kind of operation was this? What happened to not disturbing them?


    Alsop clearly saw what Armstrong was thinking. She reached out her hand and gently tapped Armstrong on the head, complaining,


    ¡°Is your brain filled with strawberry milk?¡±


    ¡°What I mean is, we¡¯ll quietly follow them and eavesdrop at the door.¡±


    ¡°Eavesdrop?!¡± Alan was shocked. ¡°That¡¯s not good behavior!¡±


    The next moment, Alsop, Carl, and Henry all turned to look at Alan and stared at him without saying a word. Alan suddenly felt uncomfortable being stared at by everyone like that.


    He could see that everyone¡¯s meaning was very clear. ¡®Weren¡¯t you the first person to eavesdrop on their conversation?¡¯


    ¡°Ahem, then¡­ Alright.¡±


    Alsop revealed a victorious smile, stood up, and walked towards the background wall. ¡°I¡¯m glad we can reach a consensus.¡±


    Carl, Henry, and Allen immediately followed. Only Armstrong stood where he was, looking deep in thought.


    Alsop was slightly stunned when he found that Armstrong did not follow. This guy¡­ did he have such a moral bottom line? Was his eavesdropping behavior despised by Armstrong?


    For a moment, Alsop felt a little ashamed.


    She did not expect that Armstrong, who usually looked like an idiot, was actually such an upright person.


    Alsop was about to apologize to Armstrong to show that she did not have any bad intentions.


    Unexpectedly, Armstrong suddenly frowned slightly and said, ¡°I don¡¯t really like strawberry milk. Can you change it to banana milk?¡±


    ¡°¡­¡±


    Well, an idiot would always be an idiot..

 Chapter 34 - Join Us

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    In the corridor, Alsop walked slowly with Carl, Armstrong, Alan, and Henry.


    Henry frowned slightly and said unhappily, ¡°I¡¯m not interested in this, why do I have to come with you?¡±


    ¡°Shhh¡­ Lower your voice!¡± Alsop turned around and glared at Henry, saying unhappily, ¡°as my servant, of course, you have to follow me no matter what I do.¡±


    Henry opened his mouth, but he did not think of any rebuttal.


    Forget about Carl and Armstrong, they only placed the bet later. Henry himself was the one who had bet with Alsop. He had no excuse to avoid this matter. Henry had no choice but to shut his mouth and follow.


    The few of them arrived outside the kitchen without making a sound. At this moment, the kitchen door was not completely closed, but was left ajar.


    Armstrong subconsciously wanted to sneak a peek through the gap of the door, but Alsop pulled him back.


    Looking at Armstrong¡¯s puzzled expression, Alsop suddenly felt very tired.


    She mouthed silently, ¡®what if they see us?¡¯


    Armstrong scratched his head and also asked with his mouth. ¡®What did you say? I don¡¯t understand.¡¯


    ¡°¡­¡±


    Alsop fell silent and pulled Armstrong behind him. She gently leaned her ear against the door and eavesdropped.


    Alan and Carl looked at each other and imitated Alsop. They put their ears against the door and eavesdropped together.


    Only Henry looked at these people and stood there expressionlessly. He was not interested in this.


    Was it not just a story of two men falling in love? What was there to be curious about?


    At this time, the three people leaning against the door had a very shocked expression. Obviously, they seemed to have heard a very interesting conversation.


    ¡°Come, eat this.¡±


    This was Putnam¡¯s voice.


    Then, Li Zhuo¡¯s voice was heard.


    ¡°This¡­ can it really be eaten?¡±


    ¡°Of course.¡±


    ¡°But the taste of this white sauce is so strange.¡±


    ¡°Li, don¡¯t worry about it. Just get used to it. Hurry up and eat.¡±


    ¡°Wait, why is this thing so hard?! I don¡¯t really like this¡­ Mm¡­ Mmm¡­¡±


    Alsop was already extremely shocked at this moment, and her eyes revealed an extremely excited expression.


    She had never encountered such an exciting thing in her entire life. She had never thought that it would actually happen by her side.


    Was this forbidden love?!


    A silent cold-faced killer, forcing a young, intelligent male college student with tender skin. This combination was simply too great!


    Armstrong¡¯s expression was a little ugly. He completely ¡®understood¡¯ the content of the conversation, and could not help but start imagining the scene. Then, he felt a little nauseous.


    Although he did not mean to discriminate, he still felt that if this kind of thing happened to him, he might break down.


    Imagine it, Putnam¡¯s eyes were cold as he stuffed something into his mouth¡­ That scene was unimaginable!


    Armstrong¡¯s face turned even paler.


    Carl¡¯s reaction was better than Armstrong¡¯s. In his eyes, Putnam seemed to be bullying Li Zhuo. However, he would not choose to go in and seek justice.


    He was just very confused as to why Alsop looked so excited, while Armstrong did not look too good.


    A voice came from the room again. ¡°Wait, let me rest for a while. This stuff tastes terrible.¡± Li Zhuo¡¯s voice sounded a little weak.


    ¡°I¡¯m doing this for your own good. Your body is too weak right now. You need to eat these. This will make your body stronger quickly.¡± There was a hint of command in Putnam¡¯s tone, at the same time, there was also a hint of gentleness and patience.


    Alsop¡¯s expression became even more interesting. Just like that, Putnam was doing his best!


    ¡°I feel that my taste buds and stomach are protesting. Can I stop eating?¡±


    ¡°No, you really have to eat. Otherwise, all our previous efforts will be in vain.¡± Putnam¡¯s tone became even more serious.


    Alsop found that her face became a little hot.


    All the previous efforts were in vain? What did he mean?


    Could it be that they had been having an underground relationship?


    In order to prevent people from discovering the forbidden love between them, they had been enduring it and did not dare to expose their love to the sun?


    It was really touching. Was this love?


    A hot tear fell from the corner of Alsop¡¯s eye, and her mouth had the smile that an aunt would have at her niece¡¯s wedding.


    ??


    Henry was puzzled. He saw the expression on Alsop¡¯s face and was stunned.


    What on Earth did she hear?


    What kind of conversation could make her look like that? Why would someone laugh and cry at the same time?


    Huh? Maybe I can make a potion that makes people laugh and cry at the same time? Maybe one day it will work. Thinking of this, Henry decided on the direction of his next research project.


    At the same time, he was curious. He put his ear to the door and joined the eavesdropping team. He was really curious about what was going on inside that could make Alsop reveal such an expression.


    When his ear was pressed to the door and he began to eavesdrop, his expression quickly became interesting.


    They could hear Li Zhuo saying, ¡°I feel that their expressions today are a little strange. Did they notice the change in me?¡±


    What the hell do you mean by ¡®change?!


    Did you want to become more ¡®mature¡¯ or more ¡®feminine¡¯? I didn¡¯t realize that Li Zhuo actually cared about this. He hid it too well.


    Putnam said, ¡°Don¡¯t think so much. I don¡¯t think they noticed.¡±


    Li Zhuo said, ¡°Is that so? I wanted to let them know later so that I could give them a surprise.¡±


    Give us a surprise or something like that¡­ There was really no need for that!


    There was no surprise at all, alright? There was only shock!!


    Putnam said, ¡°That¡¯s what I was thinking as well. When the time comes, we will definitely give them a big surprise, but¡­¡±


    Come on, there was no need to ¡®when the time comes¡¯, alright? We¡¯re already shocked!!


    Li Zhuo said, ¡°But what?¡±


    Putnam said, ¡°But even if they know now, it doesn¡¯t matter. At most, we¡¯ll let them join us.¡±


    Li Zhuo said, ¡°Good idea.¡±


    Alsop, Alan, Armstrong, Carl, and Henry were all shocked.


    What the fuck?!


    Join them?


    Are you two playing so openly??

 Chapter 35 - Servants Also Have Human Rights!

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    ¡°Now, what should we do? I feel that the matter has gradually become serious¡­¡± in the recreation room, Alan said with a solemn expression.


    The other men were silent. Only Alsop shrugged indifferently and said, ¡°What¡¯s so serious about this? Isn¡¯t it just gay men? Actually, the streets are full of gay men, but you can¡¯t tell.¡±


    ¡°Hey, hey, hey, that¡¯s not the point!¡± Armstrong said with an ugly expression. ¡°If they were gay themselves, then of course it¡¯s none of our business, but now they actually¡­¡±


    ¡°They actually want us to join!¡±


    ¡°This is simply too scary, okay? I can understand that they like men, but I like women!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s okay. It¡¯s the same if you close your eyes.¡±


    ¡°What??¡±


    This is completely different!


    Also, don¡¯t make it sound so easy!


    Carl looked at the others, raised his hand, and asked, ¡°what do you mean it¡¯s the same if you close your eyes?¡±


    Henry raised his head and looked at Carl. With a serious expression, he said, ¡°It means¡­¡±


    Armstrong was shocked. ¡°Hey, hey, hey, don¡¯t explain such things to children in a serious manner!¡±


    ¡°Science has proven that the necessary sex education is of great help to the mental health of minors.¡±


    ¡°This isn¡¯t necessary sex education, alright?! Regardless of gender or the number of people, this is extremely unnecessary!!¡±


    Armstrong stood up excitedly, his face flushed red. ¡°Don¡¯t bother about the sex education. The important thing now is how we protect our dicks!¡±


    ¡°It may also be your ass that needs protecting.¡± Alsop smiled.


    ¡°Hey, hey, hey! Don¡¯t show that look of anticipation!¡± Armstrong was shocked.


    He even felt that Alsop really wanted to see what Putnam would do to him with her own eyes.


    ¡°In short, we have to unite now. Even if we are your servants now, you have no right to stop us from protecting ourselves!¡±


    ¡°Servants also have human rights!¡± Armstrong said with a serious face as if he was calling for a great cause.


    ¡°Sorry, don¡¯t count me in. I¡¯m not interested in this,¡± Henry said, and then left the recreation room.


    He planned to go to the laboratory to research a potion that could make people laugh and cry at the same time.


    Meanwhile, Alan spread his hands and said, ¡°I originally wanted to join you guys, but¡­ Sorry, I¡¯m not a servant, so you can do it yourself.¡±


    After saying that, Alan also left the room.


    The two potential members of his cause left just like that. Armstrong was stunned on the spot.


    Alsop looked at Armstrong with a smile and said, ¡°Don¡¯t count on me. I don¡¯t want to help you protect yourself.¡±


    ¡°In fact, I¡¯d rather see the scene of you being pressed to the ground by Putnam.¡±


    Hey, hey, hey, you really want this to happen!


    Armstrong felt the danger. He turned his head helplessly to look at Carl. The only one who could team up with him now was this kid.


    Carl met Armstrong¡¯s gaze and raised his hand again to ask, ¡°so, is Putnam planning to kill us? Why do we suddenly have to protect ourselves?¡±


    ¡°¡­¡± Armstrong was silent.


    In a sense, he felt that this was even more terrifying than Putnam wanting to kill him.


    A moment later, he seemed to have made a decision and said seriously, ¡°Carl, the necessary sex education is helpful to your mental health.¡±


    ¡°So, actually, it¡¯s like this¡­¡± Armstrong leaned against Carl¡¯s ear and whispered a few words.


    Then, Carl showed a surprised expression. ¡°Why would he put the pee-pee thing in my butt?!¡±


    ¡°¡­¡± Armstrong fell silent again. It turned out that he was not good at education.


    It also proved that even the most talented youth had their own blind spots.


    Seeing this scene, Alsop was already laughing her head off. Was there anything more interesting than Armstrong¡¯s current expression?


    If there was, it would definitely be Armstrong¡¯s expression when he was pressed down by Putnam. That would definitely be more interesting.


    Thinking of this, Alsop became even more expectant. ¡°Alright, you continue to form your team. Oh, by the way, I¡¯ll remind you. Even so, you¡¯re still my servant for the next three days. If necessary, you have to listen to me.¡±


    Armstrong said unhappily, ¡°I know, I know. You¡¯re my master. It¡¯s only three days. Other than asking me to take off my pants, I can obey everything else!¡±


    Armstrong grumbled angrily. Then, he fell silent for a moment and added, ¡°of course, when it¡¯s just the two of us, you can ask me that.¡±


    Slap! The next second, a palm print appeared on Armstrong¡¯s right cheek.


    Alsop left the entertainment room angrily.


    In order to express her emotions, she even deliberately stomped heavily on the floor.


    Carl looked at Armstrong¡¯s red and swollen face and frowned.


    ¡°Alsop¡­ why does she want your pants?¡±


    ¡°¡­.¡±

 Chapter 36 - Putnam’s Past.

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    In the kitchen, Putnam and Li Zhuo were sitting at the table, enjoying the diet meal that Putnam had made himself.


    Looking at the vegetable salad and baguette in front of him, as well as some food that no one could name other than Putnam, Li Zhuo revealed a pained expression.


    ¡°Hurry up and eat. These are the things you need the most right now.¡±


    ¡°No, no, no. I think what I need the most right now is something that my stomach and taste buds can accept.¡±


    After saying that, he picked up the baguette on the table and knocked on the table.


    Bang, Bang, Bang. The corners of Li Zhuo¡¯s eyes twitched slightly.


    ¡°Can my stomach really digest such a hard thing?¡±


    Putnam gnawed on the baguette and said faintly, ¡°As an assassin, most of the time, we can¡¯t live according to the most comfortable lifestyle. When necessary, we even have to eat roots and tree bark.¡±


    ¡°Hey, hey, hey, I didn¡¯t say that I wanted to be an assassin. I just wanted to exercise.¡± Li Zhuo was shocked. When did this fitness instructor become an assassin instructor?


    Did he not say that he would only teach me to exercise?


    However, Putnam stopped chewing and slowly put the baguette back on the plate. ¡°Do you know¡­ how did I get onto the path of a killer?¡±


    Looking at Putnam in front of him, Li Zhuo was also slightly stunned.


    Li Zhuo suddenly realized that after he had been with Putnam for the past few days, Putnam was actually a kind-hearted person.


    However, he had subconsciously overlooked one thing. How did this taciturn tough guy in front of him walk down this path?


    He was obviously a man who liked small animals, had a blue cat, was always quiet, and sometimes looked at everyone with a warm smile.


    Henry seemed to have learned from a certain ¡®teacher¡¯ when he became a pharmacist.


    So, who taught the man in front of him the top killing skills?


    Putnam looked at the food in front of him as if he was talking to Li Zhuo, but he also seemed to be mumbling to himself.


    ¡°I¡¯m 37 years old this year. I used to be a fitness trainer. My income was not high, but it was just enough to support myself. Occasionally, I earned a little more, and I could buy some delicious canned food for my pet dog and cat.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve been a fitness trainer since I was 20 years old, but I¡¯ve only been a fitness trainer for three years.¡±


    ¡°In my third year as a fitness trainer, I accidentally killed a person.¡±


    Accidentally killed!


    Hearing this word, Li Zhuo¡¯s face turned ugly because the crime that got him into Section S was manslaughter.


    ¡°And then?¡±


    ¡°And then? Then it¡¯s much simpler.¡±


    Putnam leaned back in his chair, looked at the light on the ceiling, and said continued, ¡°For an ordinary fitness trainer like me, I don¡¯t have any power behind me, and my savings over the past three years are pathetic.¡±


    ¡°There are only two paths left for me. One is to surrender and go to jail, and the other is to escape.¡±


    ¡°You chose to escape?¡±


    ¡°Yes. If I go to jail, my pet will starve to death.¡±


    Hearing this, Li Zhuo was slightly stunned. This killer actually brought his pet with him when he was escaping?


    Putnam continued, ¡°the process of escaping is very arduous and long. I need income to maintain my life. You understand that I need to feed more than just one mouth.¡±


    ¡°I know, you needed to feed three mouths.¡±


    ¡°However, no one would hire me for any proper job. I did not have a proper identity. At that time, I could only search for food in the trash can.¡±


    ¡°After enduring a period of hunger, a student boy came to me. I will never forget the look in his eyes. They were filled with hatred, but also with some fear.¡±


    ¡°The first thing he said at that time was, ¡®excuse me, are you Putnam?¡¯. At that time, I knew that the fear in his eyes was because of me.¡±


    Putnam paused. His eyes were filled with reminiscence.


    ¡°Then, how did he know your name?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s because I was already wanted at that time. That kid recognized me. ThatkKid was afraid of me, but he still took the initiative to talk to me.¡±


    ¡°He gave me a commission. He wanted me to teach those hooligans at the school gate a lesson. It was said that these hooligans often bullied and blackmailed him.¡±


    ¡°The reward was also the most impressive reward I had ever received in my life ¡ª a piggy bank filled with coins.¡±


    ¡°That kid¡¯s idea is very simple and very reasonable. Instead of being endlessly extorted and bullied, why won¡¯t he give me the money and get me to teach those who bullied him a lesson?¡±


    ¡°In this way, not only can he buy a new piggy bank and start accumulating his ¡®small savings¡¯ again, but he can also take revenge on those who have been bullying him.¡±


    Li Zhuo felt that this matter seemed to be very reasonable because not only in terms of his figure, even Putnam¡¯s appearance was very oppressive.


    Such a person was obviously the most suitable candidate in that kid¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°So, you did it?¡±


    ¡°Yes, I did it. The coins in the piggy bank were enough for me and my pets to live for a very, very long time, so I had to do it.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, at that time, it seemed to me that this was also helping that kid.¡±


    ¡°That day, he brought these hooligans in front of me. As a fitness trainer, I had a physique that these hooligans could not compare to.¡±


    ¡°I single-handedly defeated five hooligans, even though it was my first time fighting.¡±


    ¡°Then, I started my own business ¡ª I specialized in helping others teach some hooligans a lesson.¡±


    ¡°You know, these guys actually dared to take the initiative to find a wanted criminal. This means that they really can¡¯t stand this kind of life, so my income source became very stable. Many ¡®clients¡¯ have this kind of demand.¡±


    ¡°My identity was more sensitive, so I could have this kind of gray income. After this continued for a period of time, I received a ¡®big business¡¯. The other party was not a student, so he paid me 10,000 yuan.¡±


    Hearing this, Li Zhuo had a slight premonition in his heart.


    He felt that this ¡®business¡¯ might be a turning point that had affected Putnam¡¯s life.


    ¡°That kid was also a gang member. He wanted me to help him participate in a gang fight. You know, I only beat up a few hooligans back then. I never participated in gang matters.¡±


    ¡°However, 10,000 yuan was too much for me at that time. As long as I complete this business, I can rent a house that doesn¡¯t need ID and have my own home.¡±


    ¡°I needed the money too much¡­¡±


    At this point, Putnam fell silent again.


    What he wanted to express was very clear ¡ª many times, the path was not necessarily voluntary, it could also be forced by life.


    ¡°That time, it was the first time in my life that I touched a pistol..¡±

 Chapter 37 - Butt Protection Squad

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    At this moment, Putnam¡¯s expression changed. It became a little complicated.


    He looked a little regretful, regretful, and¡­ Happy?


    Li Zhuo could not understand that expression. However, he was sure that Putnam¡¯s current expression was very sincere and did not contain the slightest bit of concealment.


    Even Li Zhuo did not fully understand this person¡¯s true state, so it was almost impossible for him to understand Putnam.


    However, he still listened quietly.


    ¡°When I got the pistol, I was stunned.¡±


    ¡°However, the gang members did not think that there was anything wrong with this. In their eyes, a wanted criminal who had killed a person and was wanted for murder and looked very fierce would definitely use a gun.¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t refuse because I needed the money, but that gang war changed my life completely.¡±


    ¡°I still remember the bullets flying past me. I also remember the gangsters next to me falling down. I still remember the people they paid to escape.¡±


    ¡°Even if they spent a lot of money to hire some people who were wandering in the gray area to help, the enemy still had twice as many people as us, and there were many weapons.¡±


    ¡°At that moment, fear appeared in my heart, and it spread out uncontrollably. However, the thought of living quickly calmed me down. I still remember that the pistol was a little heavy. The hard and cold touch made my right hand tremble slightly.¡±


    ¡°After the first shot, the trembling disappeared. What replaced it was a very familiar feeling. The method of using the pistol is very simple. Hold the pistol firmly, aim at the enemy, and then pull the trigger.¡±


    ¡°After understanding this point, killing became a very simple matter.¡±


    ¡°That day, I used a pistol to kill 23 people. At first, it was for a reward of up to 10,000, but later, it was for survival.¡±


    ¡°However, this made my name on the wanted list even more urgent. I was unable to rent the house I wanted, so I could only take my pets and leave again.¡±


    Putnam did not continue.


    Li Zhuo did not even need to guess the rest of the story. He felt a little complicated after hearing this.


    Maybe Putnam was really talented in this area. After all, he was very good at using a pistol when he first used it.


    However, his character was not meant to be in the assassin business.


    ¡°Many things in the world don¡¯t go according to how they should be. It¡¯s the same for the world¡¯s top assassins. We are always powerless.¡±


    ¡°However, we can at least take the initiative when we are powerless, even just a little bit.¡±


    Putnam took out a gun from his coat pocket and gently put it on the table.


    ¡°Learn it and understand it. You can never use it, but you can¡¯t be sure if you¡¯ll need it in the future.¡±


    ¡°You can¡¯t be sure that the day you choose not to use it the last time will be the end of your life.¡±


    Li Zhuo looked at the pistol in front of him and fell silent. Just as Putnam said, he might have to use gun skills.


    Just as Li Zhuo had thought of escaping from prison before, if he really chose to escape from prison, then he would have to face an endless life of running and hiding.


    One more skill would be beneficial to him.


    Thinking of this, Li Zhuo raised his head and looked at Putnam¡¯s eyes. It was an encouraging look.


    Li Zhuo took a deep breath and raised his hand to hold the pistol on the table. A cold and hard metal sensation came from the skin on his palm. Even though it was just a tool, it still gave Li Zhuo a sense of danger.


    ¡°This is a weapon, this is a gun, this is a killing tool.¡±


    ¡°A weapon is dangerous, but after you master a weapon, you can represent danger.¡±


    Li Zhuo listened to these words and repeatedly pondered the meaning behind them.


    He could not help but think that if he had mastered this skill long ago, would he have been able to resist when he was framed back then?


    Li Zhuo fell silent. He did not like living on the run, but if he could, he did not like the situation where there was no choice. He would resist.


    After understanding his inner thoughts, Li Zhuo became firm.


    ¡°Mr. Putnam, I think¡­ It looks like there¡¯s one more thing you need to teach me.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s not just one thing. Other than guns, I also know a lot of killing techniques. I know everything you can imagine.¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°So, what should we do now?¡± Carl looked at Armstrong and asked doubtfully.


    Carl did not know why he joined this team, but he kept feeling that this matter sounded very serious. He still cherished his butt.


    Armstrong listened to Carl¡¯s words and was silent for a moment. ¡°To be honest, I don¡¯t know either.


    ¡°Why don¡¯t we ask Wilson to send us two pairs of iron underwear?¡±


    ¡°¡­¡± Carl¡¯s face was full of rejection.


    ¡°How about this, you analyze what we should do now?¡± Armstrong thought for a moment and said.


    ¡°Under normal circumstances, it seems that we should first grasp the enemy¡¯s movements, and then decide the next course of action based on this effective information.¡± Carl gave a direction of action based on experience, and Armstrong immediately nodded.


    The two immediately left the recreation room.


    Previously, Li Zhuo and Putnam had done some indescribable things in the kitchen, so their first choice was to go to the kitchen to have a look.


    However, when the two of them walked into the kitchen, they found that they were no longer there.


    ¡°The trail seems to have gone cold. What should we do next?¡±


    Armstrong had already subconsciously thought of Carl as the captain of the ¡®Butt Protection Squad¡¯.


    Carl touched his chin and thought seriously. ¡°Judging from the behavior of the two of them, where will they go now?¡±


    ¡°Li Zhuo¡­ We haven¡¯t known each other for long. I don¡¯t know him well enough. However, as for Putnam, he¡¯s probably at the gym or the shooting range.¡±


    There was nothing wrong with this analysis. Armstrong immediately agreed and added more information. ¡°Captain, they went to the gym this morning.¡±


    ¡°Then let¡¯s go to the shooting range.¡±


    After the two of them confirmed the direction, they set off again.


    Section S was very large, and the shooting range was in the opposite direction of the beach. This distance was not close. When they were about to reach the shooting range, some time had already passed.


    Armstrong was even a little worried. Could they have already left the shooting range?


    After all, there were many places in Section S that could not be reached only by one road.


    When they reached the outside of the shooting range, Putnam¡¯s voice came from the door again.


    ¡°That¡¯s it, shoot..¡±

 Chapter 38 - Not Even Sparing a Child like Carl?

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    At that moment, Armstrong panicked. He swore that this was the most panicked he had ever been in his life.


    Although he had sworn many times in his life, he swore that this was really the worst one.


    ¡°What should I do? I suddenly feel that the problem has become even more serious.


    ¡°No, no, no, it¡¯s already extremely serious! This is too scary!!¡± When Armstrong said this, his lips were trembling slightly.


    If Putnam and Li Zhuo were just an ordinary gay couple, Armstrong thought that he might soon accept this matter and bless them.


    However, now, Armstrong felt that he could no longer accept it. The positions that they held in this relationship could actually be swapped at any time?


    Do you think this is some kind of video game where positions can be switched at any moment? What kind of complicated relationship is this?!


    Thinking about how they once wanted everyone to join in this relationship, Armstrong felt his scalp go numb.


    The name of the team had to be changed. Now, they did not just need to protect their butts!


    Carl looked at Armstrong¡¯s complicated and interesting expression and was completely confused.


    What was this guy thinking about right now? Were they not at the shooting range? Shooting¡­ was that not normal?


    ¡°Well¡­ Armstrong, I think you¡¯re a little too sensitive? Obviously, Putnam is teaching Li.¡±


    ¡°I can see that he¡¯s teaching Lee. That¡¯s why this is so scary!¡± Armstrong said matter-of-factly.


    Carl was slightly stunned. After a moment, he felt that what Armstrong said was not unreasonable.


    Indeed, although Lee Zhuo came to Section S, it could not be ignored that he was originally just a student. Teaching a student shooting skills was indeed a little inappropriate.


    ¡°I feel that we need to stop them!¡± Carl¡¯s expression also became serious. After all, Li Zhuo was just an ordinary student. He was different from criminals like them.


    Carl felt that Putnam should not have done this.


    However, when Armstrong heard this, he turned pale with fright. ¡°You¡¯re going to stop them? Now? This¡­ isn¡¯t a good idea.¡±


    That was Putnam! The world¡¯s top assassin, Putnam!


    If you go and ruin his plans now, would that not be courting death?


    Aren¡¯t you afraid that he¡¯ll kill us to silence us?


    Moreover, even if you want to stop them, at least wait until they¡¯re done before you go.


    However, Carl shook his head and said, ¡°I feel that we have to stop him now. If we don¡¯t go now, it will be too late.¡±


    ¡°This matter is no longer just a matter of Section S. Li Zhuo¡¯s sentence is only five years. After five years, if such a person leaves Section S, what kind of impact will it have on this world? Have you considered it?¡±


    Armstrong was completely stunned when he heard Carl¡¯s words. Although Li Zhuo was indeed very handsome, it was not so serious that it would have an ¡®impact on this world¡¯.


    At most, would it be just¡­ harming other gay people outside? It did not sound very serious.


    Carl could see Armstrong¡¯s disapproval, and he analyzed seriously, ¡°Li Zhuo is still¡­ very innocnent. Perhaps he won¡¯t do something more¡­ violent.¡±


    ¡°However, we can¡¯t guarantee that he won¡¯t teach what he learned today to others after he leaves Section S. Those people might¡­ be just ordinary people.¡± Carl¡¯s face was full of worry.


    Although he did not understand the affairs between men and women, he was indeed very mature. In terms of intelligence and many technical matters, he was much stronger than an adult.


    Although he was a criminal, he did not want to make the world worse.


    Armstrong¡¯s first reaction was ¡ª did you understand so quickly?!


    What did it mean that Li Zhuo was innocent and would not do something violent? Have you imagined so much already?!


    Although Armstrong was shocked, he still agreed with some of Carl¡¯s views.


    Indeed, Li Zhuo did not look like a gay person at first. No one could guarantee that Li Zhuo was not negatively influenced by Putnam.


    If this kid learned how to make ¡®ordinary people¡¯ gay, it could indeed affect the world. After all, this kid was¡­ really handsome.


    When Armstrong thought about how Li Zhuo might teach his classmates how to be gay when he went out, he might even be like Putnam, teaching them how to switch positions¡­


    Armstrong felt that this matter was really too terrifying.


    Carl looked at Armstrong¡¯s hesitant look and sighed. ¡°You don¡¯t dare to go? I¡¯ll go!¡±


    After saying that, he pushed open the shooting range¡¯s door and walked straight in. Seeing this scene, Armstrong was completely shocked.


    F*ck, don¡¯t go in now! Let¡¯s wait at least half an hour!


    Armstrong looked at the open door tensely.


    Due to the angle, he could not see inside the door, and he did not want to be found by Putnam and the others.


    So he leaned against the wall and waited for Carl to come back.


    However, he heard such a conversation.


    Carl said, ¡°What are you doing?!¡±


    Putnam said, ¡°As you can see, I¡¯m teaching him shooting skills.¡±


    Carl said, ¡°You shouldn¡¯t teach him such things!¡±


    Putnam said, ¡°Why? Haven¡¯t you noticed that Li is very happy? I think he thinks he needs these things.¡±


    Li Zhuo said, ¡°Carl, you might be wrong about Putnam. I do think I need such a teacher. I also think I might need these skills.¡±


    Carl said, ¡°¡­ Alright, everyone has their own choices. I have no right to interfere. I only hope that you don¡¯t¡­ Go down the wrong path in the future.¡±


    Li Zhuo said, ¡°I will. Oh right, do you want to learn together?¡±


    Carl said, ¡°¡­ Indeed, I might also need to learn. So¡­ can I join too?¡±


    Putnam said, ¡°Of course you can. Come, hold it. I¡¯ll help you adjust your posture. No, no, no, it¡¯s not like that. Because you¡¯re a little short, you have to raise your hand a little.¡±


    Armstrong, who was outside the door, was stunned when he heard this.


    What the f*ck??


    They were animals. They would not even let a child like Carl off?


    Why did Carl accept this so quickly?! Was a simple child going to be led astray just like that?!


    While he was still in a daze, he heard Carl¡¯s voice again. After all, the shooting range was relatively empty.


    ¡°Oh right, Armstrong is also outside. Let¡¯s invite him to play with us.¡±


    ¡°Good idea..¡±

 Chapter 39 - The Butt of a Genius Will Also Be Lost

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    When Armstrong heard Carl¡¯s words, he was already afraid. He even felt that his legs were a little weak.


    However, the desire to survive and the treasure of his butt made his legs regain strength.


    He ran away!


    When Carl and Li Zhuo walked out of the shooting range to the corridor, they could not even see Armstrong¡¯s back.


    ¡°Where¡¯s Armstrong?¡± Li Zhuo looked at the empty corridor and showed a puzzled expression.


    Carl shrugged and said, ¡°I don¡¯t know. He¡¯s been mumbling all day, as if he¡¯s very scared, and he often says things like butt.¡±


    Li Zhuo was puzzled. What did he mean?


    Just when Li Zhuo was full of doubts, Putnam¡¯s voice came again. ¡°Alright, Hurry up and come back for training. We¡¯ve tried shooting with a silencer just now. This time, it¡¯s time to try shooting without a silencer.¡±


    When Li Zhuo and Carl heard this, they immediately walked in and held the pistol on the table again. They began to dismantle the silencer like Putnam had done.


    Seeing that Li Zhuo had dismantled the silencer very quickly and skillfully like a veteran killer, Putnam revealed a gratified smile.


    ¡°You¡¯re the fastest student I¡¯ve ever seen.¡±


    ¡°Thank you for the compliment. I just replayed the technique you taught me.¡±


    Carl listened quietly by the side, but he was muttering in his heart. Was it not just removing the silencer? What was the difference between this thing and screwing a screw? Was this worthy of praise?


    Carl was rather jealous, and his hands moved faster.


    However, in the next moment, the dissatisfaction on Carl¡¯s face turned into surprise. That was because the moment Carl put on his headphones, the look in Li Zhuo¡¯s eyes changed drastically.


    At first, he looked no different from an ordinary student.


    However, the moment he raised his hand, that pair of gentle eyes immediately became incomparably fierce, like an extremely calm killer who had completed countless missions.


    Raising his hand, aiming, shooting.


    The whole set of movements was done in one go, without the slightest sense of sluggishness.


    The 12 bullets in the magazine were all shot in a short span of six seconds. On average, one shot per 0.5 seconds.


    This included the time needed to aim and adjust the trajectory, as well as to control the recoil.


    Carl was dumbstruck as he watched Li Zhuo take out the empty magazine and casually put it on the table.


    He took off his headphones and stiffly turned his neck to look at the target in front of him.


    One shot had six points, one shot had eight points, and then all the rest had ten points.


    Seeing such results, Carl could not help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.


    This¡­ was simply the legendary sharpshooter!


    However, just as Carl was shocked, he heard Li Zhuo beside him sigh and say, ¡°the feeling of shooting with and without silencers is indeed different. The first two shots were a little off.¡±


    Carl was speechless.


    Why did you use a tone of self-blame and dissatisfaction to brag?? Are you f*cking kidding me?


    On the other hand, Putnam patted Li Zhuo¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°this is already considered pretty good. After all, this is your first time shooting an HK-USP. To be able to have such a standard is already pretty good.¡±


    Carl felt his jaw go numb.


    Are you f*cking kidding me? Is this the first time you¡¯ve shot, and getting such a result was just pretty good?


    However, just as Carl was stunned, Putnam walked over without saying a word. He helped Carl put on the noise-canceling headphones and returned to his position.


    He raised his hand, aimed, and shot in one go. The entire action was smooth and smooth without any pause.


    Carl was in a trance for a moment.


    He found that Putnam¡¯s shooting process was almost exactly the same as Li Zhuo¡¯s!


    Whether it was the posture, the hand movements, or the movements of his legs, every detail was almost the same. It was as if he had changed a set of leather during 3D modeling.


    In an instant, Carl realized again.


    No! It was not that Putnam looked like Li Zhuo, but that Li Zhuo was imitating Putnam!


    It was Li Zhuo who perfectly copied Putnam¡¯s shooting posture.


    At this moment, Carl suddenly remembered what Alsop had said before. ¡®That kid Li, no matter what it is, as long as you see it once, you¡¯ll be able to remember it.¡¯


    Carl swallowed his saliva again.


    This¡­ was this the so-called ¡®remember¡¯?


    After Putnam completed the task, Carl looked at the target again.


    12 bullets, all hitting the bull¡¯s eye. This¡­ was the strength of the world¡¯s top assassin!


    At this time, Putnam suddenly looked at Carl. Carl subconsciously took off his headphones. He felt that Putnam was about to say something, he was waiting for what Putnam wanted to say.


    When a person felt that others were powerful, they would subconsciously obey those people. This was the reverence of a living being towards a strong person.


    ¡°Carl, after watching our shooting process, do you think I¡¯m more powerful or Li is more powerful?¡±


    Carl did not even think about it and immediately answered subconsciously. ¡°Of course you¡¯re more powerful. After all, two of his shots missed the bulls-eye.¡±


    From the logic and results, it was natural that Putnam was more powerful. At least Carl thought so.


    However, Putnam shook his head slightly and said, ¡°No, you¡¯re wrong. In fact, Li Zhuo is more powerful.


    ¡°You don¡¯t understand guns and shooting, so you can only judge who is more powerful based on the accuracy.¡±


    ¡°However, in fact, Li Zhuo¡¯s shooting process just now was not as simple as you think.¡±


    After saying that, he raised his gun. Carl subconsciously wanted to put on the noise-reducing headphones.


    After all, this gun was not equipped with a silencer. If he fired at such a close distance, his ears would be very uncomfortable, and he might even get tinnitus.


    However, Putnam did not shoot. Instead, he pointed at the details with his finger and explained,


    ¡°My shooting process is actually very simple. Aim, shoot, and then hit.¡±


    Hearing this, Carl already had a puzzled expression.


    Why the hell did you make it sound so simple to hit the bulls-eye with a gun?


    ¡°However, Li¡¯s process is different from mine. He has one more thing, and that is to correct the trajectory.¡±


    ¡°I rely on my experience. I am very skilled with every gun in the world, so I don¡¯t need to adjust the trajectory. The moment I fired, I knew that I could hit the bulls-eye with this shot.¡±


    ¡°However, Li wasn¡¯t like this. He adjusted the trajectory of the bullet according to the deviation after he fired.¡±


    ¡°Also, during this process, he didn¡¯t stop at all. At least, I couldn¡¯t master when I was learning firearms.¡±


    ¡°So, he was more powerful.¡±


    After hearing Putnam¡¯s words, Carl was slightly stunned. It seemed to make sense.


    Li Zhuo¡¯s movements were so skilled that Carl subconsciously ignored the fact that Li Zhuo was a beginner. Only now did he realize why Putnam had praised him like that just now.


    That was because Li Zhuo was really a genius!


    Genius¡­


    This word had always been other people¡¯s praise to Carl. Since four years ago, he had been receiving such praise. Today, the title of genius was taken away by Li Zhuo.


    This made Carl a little upset.


    He also learned from Putnam and Li Zhuo¡¯s movements, raising the gun, aiming, and shooting. He wanted to shoot 12 bullets as fast as Putnam and Li Zhuo.


    However, after he actually pulled the trigger, he found that it was simply impossible.


    From the second shot, every bullet of his had missed the target. Even the next six bullets hit the ceiling. One of them even shattered a lamp.


    After twelve bullets were fired, Putnam was silent for a moment. Then he pointed at the lamp on the ceiling. ¡°In a sense, it¡¯s quite accurate.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡±


    ¡­


    When Armstrong escaped, Alsop was playing a game in the entertainment room.


    Logically speaking, as a servant, he should not disturb his master. However, this time, Armstrong could not care less.


    He rushed up and unplugged the power, and before Alsop lost her temper, he spoke first. ¡°Something big has happened! Carl¡¯s butt has fallen!!¡±


    Alsop could only say, ¡°huh?¡±

 Chapter 40 - Newcomer

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    ¡°What do you mean? Speak slowly, don¡¯t worry.¡± Alsop no longer cared about the power being pulled out of the mainframe. Obviously, what Armstrong said was more important.


    Very quickly, Armstrong gave a brief account of what had just happened. However, he focused on describing how Putnam was teaching Li Zhuo how to switch positions, and also briefly described the conversation when Carl joined.


    When Armstrong finished talking, Alsop¡¯s jaw almost dropped to the ground. At this moment, her thoughts were exactly the same as Armstrong¡¯s first reaction.


    ¡°These animals aren¡¯t even letting children go?!¡±


    ¡°Yeah, this is too scary!¡±


    ¡°No, I have to stop them!¡± Alsop clenched her teeth and punched the armrest of the sofa.


    The sofa did not make any sound, but it did not stop Alsop from expressing her anger.


    ¡°At first, I thought this was just the love between Li Zhuo and Putnam, and I wanted to bless them.¡±


    ¡°You know me, we women are like this. We are very touched by the love that we know there is no result but still don¡¯t hesitate.¡±


    ¡°Ah¡­ but this relationship is simply¡­¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re going off topic, Alsop.¡± Armstrong was silent for a moment, and finally could not help but interrupt her.


    ¡°Oh, really? I¡¯m sorry, I was too engrossed,¡± Alsop adjusted her emotions and said. ¡°This was supposed to be a beautiful thing. The love of two people regardless of the prejudice by the whole world. We should have blessed them.¡±


    ¡°But now, they are not even letting Carl off the hook. You have to know that Carl is still a child.¡±


    ¡°Carl is so young, his figure is so thin and small, his personality is so cute, his skin is so white, his¡­¡±


    ¡°¡­¡±


    ¡°Why do I suddenly feel that this combination is not bad?¡± Alsop¡¯s expression became excited again.


    The silent tough killer, the intelligent weak man, and the innocent and cute boy. This combination was simply a dream combination!


    However, seeing Alsop¡¯s attitude change, Armstrong was completely shocked.


    ¡°Hey, hey, hey, this kind of thinking is very dangerous!!¡±


    ¡°Carl is still a child! Isn¡¯t this something that only demons can do!?¡±


    ¡°Promise me that Carl¡¯s butt can only be used to go to the toilet, okay?¡±


    Alsop was silent for a moment, then she suddenly raised her head and said, ¡°that¡¯s not right. Why do I feel that something is strange about this matter?¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s strange about it?¡± Armstrong was slightly stunned.


    Alsop, on the other hand, looked at Armstrong suspiciously and asked, ¡°if it¡¯s Li Zhuo, I¡¯m not surprised. After all, we haven¡¯t spent much time with him, and we don¡¯t know much about him.¡±


    ¡°Perhaps he¡¯s gay. That¡¯s possible.¡±


    ¡°However, Carl is different. He has lived with us for half a year. This child is definitely not gay!¡±


    ¡°You rascal, could it be that you deliberately lied to me to get revenge for making you my servant?¡±


    Armstrong was completely shocked. ¡°Hey, hey, hey, how can you frame me like this? Even if I wanted to lie to you, Alan has no reason to lie to you, right? Alan was the one who said this first!¡±


    ¡°You were the one who told me that Carl joined them. Maybe this is the only thing that is fake?¡±


    ¡°¡­¡± Armstrong fell silent.


    What Alsop said was so reasonable that he could not refute it. ¡°In order to prove my innocence, I have to bring you to witness it with your own eyes.¡±


    Hearing this, Alsop did not answer immediately. Instead, she stared at Armstrong calmly.


    After a few seconds, her face turned red.


    ¡°Hey, hey, hey, what are you thinking about?! Don¡¯t get excited! You¡¯re blushing!!¡±


    ¡°Ahem, I¡­ I¡¯m still more interested in the game. Go and see for yourself. I won¡¯t disturb them¡­¡± As she spoke, Alsop slowly got up and walked to the wall, slowly picking up the power plug of the game console.


    The entire process was so slow that it was as if time had slowed down. Meanwhile, Alsop stared at Armstrong the entire time.


    Armstrong was speechless.


    ¡°Alright, I¡¯m begging you. Come with me to take a look and prove my innocence.¡±


    ¡°¡­ that¡¯s not enough. I don¡¯t really want to go.¡± Alsop looked hesitant.


    Armstrong said, ¡°¡­ Fine. if I lie to you, I¡¯ll be your servant for a month.¡±


    ¡°If that¡¯s the case, I can¡¯t refuse! Okay, for your innocence, I¡¯ll reluctantly accompany you to take a look!¡± Alsop excitedly threw away the power cord in his hand, grabbed Armstrong¡¯s clothes, and rushed out.


    Armstrong was dragged out of the recreation room, and he was completely silent.


    So, this girl obviously wanted to see it herself, but she had to put on a reluctant look?


    Are all women such troublesome creatures?!


    ¡­


    At the entrance of Section S, the metal door let out a heavy cracking sound and slowly opened.


    As the door opened, Wilson¡¯s flattering face appeared outside the door.


    ¡°We¡¯re here. This is Section S.¡±


    ¡°Please enjoy yourself.¡±


    Beside Wilson, a short middle-aged man walked into Section S with a smile. He stepped on the beach and then looked at Wilson.


    ¡°So this is the legendary Section S. How Interesting.¡±


    ¡°So, you¡¯re sure that the legendary world¡¯s number one thief is here, right?¡±


    ¡°Yes, Mr. Alan is indeed here.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± The man looked at the beach again and took a deep breath of the salty air. When he opened his eyes again, there was a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.


    ¡°From today onwards, the number one thief in the world should be replaced.¡±


    ¡°I, Billy, am the world¡¯s best thief!¡±
