Chapter 256: Poor Xiao Nie, Ruined by a Woman
A free seven-day island tour?
Who wouldn't want to go?
Jiang Ran said, "Of course I'd want to, why? You're not going to give it to me, are you?"
Manager Xiao Zhang said, "Exactly right. You're so smart."
Jiang Ran said, "No way? You're really giving it to me? It's not one of those kidney-harvesting islands, is that why you're giving it to me?"
Jiang Ran had recently seen online news about numerous kidney-harvesting syndicates setting up companies in their country.
They'd recruit a bunch of office workers, then after about half a year, when the timing was right.
They'd organize team-building tours, sending everyone abroad to harvest their kidneys.
Absolutely terrifying and impossible to guard against.
Manager Xiao Zhang on the other end of the phone sounded utterly exasperated: "Oh dear, actually I don't really want to give it away either, but mainly, I have thalassophobia."
"I'm terrified of the sea, I get dizzy just looking at the ocean, do you understand that feeling?"
Hearing this, Jiang Ran thought the illnesses in this world were truly bizarre and varied.
He continued asking, "But this free tour, couldn't you give it to your family? Or relatives?"
Manager Xiao Zhang: "There's only one spot, which of my parents should go? I don't have any siblings. As for relatives, forget it, I've never had good relationships with them, I'd rather give the benefit to anyone but them."
"Also, have you heard of this saying?"
"It's called, a near neighbor is better than a distant cousin."
"So, I thought about it, and decided to just give it directly to you. After all, we're colleagues and also friends, so I'll let you have this benefit."
Jiang Ran felt touched: "Xiao Zhang, you're so good to me!"
Manager Xiao Zhang: "Of course, what's between us is special!"
Jiang Ran was genuinely moved, since Manager Xiao Zhang had truly been very good to him.
He'd let him be temporary manager, and usually didn't bother him about slacking off at work.
And now he was even giving him this free seven-day island tour.
Manager Xiao Zhang: "Alright, it's settled then."
"Get your passport sorted tomorrow. As for the visa, plane tickets and such, the apartment will handle it for you. Just wait for me to notify you about the tour!"
The two chatted for a while longer before hanging up.
After hanging up, Jiang Ran was so happy he jumped three feet high.
He kept quietly chanting: "La la la la la, awesome awesome awesome!!!"
10 PM.
"Sister, it seems the new sedative you developed this time acts quickly, but the awakening is also fast."
"Only about two hours of sleep time."
In the living room of Room 303.
Qin Kelian looked at Little Nie, whose hands, feet, and body were locked onto a rectangular silver metal execution platform with metal restraints.
She spoke to Qin Yi.
Qin Yi stared at Little Nie and noticed the eyeballs beneath his eyelids moving erratically from side to side, showing signs of activity. His entire face was also making some expressions.
Including his hands and feet.
All of this proved the drug effect was wearing off.
Little Nie was about to wake up.
After waiting about another 20 minutes.
Little Nie finally woke up and opened his eyes.
The first moment he opened his eyes.
Like most people, Little Nie first spaced out for a while.
Then, habitually looked left and right. Because the living room ceiling light was very bright, his eyes were squinted.
He looked left and right, then got a fright, his heart suddenly pounding.
Because standing on his left and right were people wearing rubber leather outfits.
And they were also wearing helmets.
Couldn't even tell if they were male or female.
"Who are you?"
Little Nie habitually tried to sit up.
But then discovered his hands, feet, and body were locked by something.
Realizing what had happened to him, he immediately felt a sense of foreboding.
An indescribable, unknown fear instantly took over his entire body.
He felt his body starting to grow cold and chilled.
"Don't worry, Little Nie, it's me, Kelian."
Qin Kelian, standing on Little Nie's right, removed her helmet.
Revealing that stunningly beautiful face that could topple cities and countries.
Seeing Qin Kelian's face, Little Nie inexplicably felt relieved.
He asked Qin Kelian why she was dressed like this?
Why was he locked here?
And who was the person on the left?
Qin Kelian selectively answered Little Nie's questions.
She said: "Little Nie, I'm the one who locked you up. As for why I locked you up, and why I'm dressed like this now, it's because I want to play a game with you."
Little Nie: "Play... a game?"
Qin Kelian nodded: "Didn't you ask me during the day if I play Game for Peace, and I said I do?"
"Actually, that was a lie."
"I don't really play Game for Peace much, the games I actually play are different ones."
Little Nie: "What games?"
Qin Kelian: "Games like Identity V, Dead by Daylight, and similar ones."
Little Nie frowned, thinking as he said: "I know Dead by Daylight, it's a PC game. I haven't played it, but I've heard of it and watched streams."
"As for Identity V, I'm familiar with that! I'm tier 7 Survivor. If you play this, you should have told me! I'll carry you to higher ranks! Guaranteed to juke the hunter into oblivion!!!"
Little Nie said excitedly.
Qin Kelian listened, then suddenly gave an eerie smile: "I know, while you were unconscious, I checked your phone and found out you're a tier 7 Survivor in Identity V, very impressive."
"Of course, I also saw that you've been hitting on girls all over the game."
Hearing this, Little Nie's heart sank.
He quickly explained: "That's not really hitting on, is it? Just looking for gaming partners, and by the way finding a girlfriend. After all, you know this game has many female players, it's easy to find a girlfriend."
"So... Kelian, you're not jealous, are you?"
Little Nie had a suspicious expression.
Qin Kelian was rendered speechless by this statement: "Jealous? How long have we known each other, why would I be jealous?"
"I'm telling you this to let you know that when I play Identity V, I specifically play as the Hunter."
Little Nie said: "That's fine too! I can also play Hunter and do Duo Hunters with you!!!"
Qin Kelian quickly waved her hand: "No no no, I saw your Identity V account."
"You don't play Hunter, you specifically play Survivor to carry girls to higher ranks, while I play Hunter, so we're natural enemies, do you understand?"
Little Nie shook his head: "I don't understand."
"Isn't this game about playing Survivor when you want, and Hunter when you want?"
Qin Kelian sighed: "Seems you still don't get it."
"Let me explain more carefully."
"You, right now, are the Survivor."
"And I, am the Hunter."
"You've been caught by me now."
"Do you know what I'm going to do?"
Little Nie suddenly understood: "You're going to put me on a Rocket Chair? But since you don't have one at home, you put me on this platform? And locking me up simulates the descending lever that traps Survivors on the Rocket Chair, right?"
Little Nie felt he had figured out Qin Kelian's hobby and was ecstatic, feeling he had taken a step closer with Qin Kelian.
Qin Kelian nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, then guess what else I'm going to do after that?"
