please don't believe me

[Time reporting system: There are still 40 days until the deadline for the main task. 】

"By the way, honey, did I tell you a little bit about 'permissions'?"

"No. What?"

"Actually, after receiving the task, I got a small reminder - 'For the principle of fairness, the permissions of all hosts have been temporarily reduced to the same as those with the lowest permissions'."

Climbing up the wide staircase, the two walked into a very modern office building.They walked to the elevator and pressed the up button.

"What kind of new trick is this?" Shen Xiuyuan turned his head to look at Dai Bowen, "It didn't happen in the last time's bet."

Dai Bowen squinted at him with raised eyes, expressionless, but with a playful smile in his eyes.

"Okay." Shen Xiuyuan shook his head, "So, what's the change in your authority?"

"This is the interesting part." Dai Bowen said, "My authority has not changed at all."

"..." Shen Xiuyuan raised his eyebrows and said, "You are a 'least privileged person'."

Dai Bowen blinked slowly and nodded.

The elevator opened its doors in front of them, and they walked in without anyone else.Maybe there are surveillance cameras in the corners of the ceiling, but usually these surveillance cameras have no recording equipment.

Standing beside Dai Bowen, Shen Xiuyuan asked in a low voice: "It doesn't make sense. You have successfully passed six missions, never failed, and passed almost all branches. Why do you have the lowest authority?"

Dai Bowen looked at him: "You understand why."

"..." Shen Xiuyuan looked at him, "The other hosts come from other systems. Only our system is so stingy."

"No, it's just very 'friendly' to me this time." Dai Bowen smiled, "Not only does it restrict the actions of other hosts, but it also tells me some 'fun'."

"'Fun child'?"

"The permissions that other hosts have... oh no, they used to be permissions." Dai Bowen whispered, "For example, those that are often written in novels-the mall system."

"It sounds like our enemies once obtained out-of-the-box 'superpowers'?" Shen Xiuyuan said, "But now the authority is closed, which is equivalent to the failure of the super serum. Do you still think the system is friendly to you?"

"Why not?" Dai Bowen laughed, "People won't lose their memory, as long as they have been 'great'."

The elevator door slowly opened.

Russell Studios.

The simple light blue three-dimensional English logo is pasted on the white wall, and there are offices made of passages and glass on both sides.While other companies decorate the aisles with advertisements, paintings, and performance displays, here the walls are covered with photo phalanxes of faces.Yellow hair hanging down, mandarin ducks of various colors, happy, angry, sad and happy.

A man in a casual suit stood in front of the sign, with brown hair and brown eyes and a high nose, mature and extremely oppressive.

He smiled as he waited for his guests.

"Hey, look who this is?" The man came up to meet Dai Bowen and stretched out his hand, "My high-scoring graduate student dumped me after graduation and spread his wings alone."

Dai Bowen smiled and shook hands with him: "This happened nearly ten years ago. Haven't you found a good boy who is more worthy of showing off than me in all these years?"

The man smiled and said, "At least there is no one who shoots himself."

"Then you shouldn't mention me, bad kids can't be role models, can they?" Dai Bowen gave up half of his body and introduced Shen Xiuyuan to the other party, "Shen Xiuyuan, my employer..."

"And your boyfriend too."

Dai Bowen paused when he heard the words, while Shen Xiuyuan squinted at the other party.

"Don't do that, bro. According to a study published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology, most people can judge someone's sexual orientation just by looking at their facial features, which is related to the pattern of muscle tension." The man laughed, "And I am the master of it."

Dai Bowen turned his head, put his hands on the hem of his coat and put it on his waist: "Eric."

"Okay, okay, I won't play tricks on him anymore." The man slightly raised his hands to express his surrender, "It's actually because I've been staring at you since you got out of the elevator, who told you to have no scruples, right?"

"We are just walking normally. Moreover, we don't need to cover up." Dai Bowen introduced him to Shen Xiuyuan, "Eric Russell, the boss here, my former graduate tutor."

Eric and Shen Xiuyuan shook hands: "I think I've seen you... Let me think about it, Zhiyuan Group?"

Shen Xiuyuan said, "I don't think I've ever been interviewed by a psychology magazine?"

"Financial and economics. Our customers often appear on it, as well as the president of the company I bought the stock." Eric smiled and waved his hand, "Come on, gentlemen."

Take a photo to keep the bottom, fingerprint input, identity confirmation.

An hour later, Dai Bowen finally got what he wanted.

"Here is your work permit and your personal file." Eric put the things brought by the female assistant on the table, "The personal file has been entered into the system, and this is a photocopy. In fact, if it weren't for the damn confidential system You don't have to come in person if you need your photo and fingerprints. After all..." He pointed to the work card with the blue sling attached, and several pieces of paper stapled together, "I can handle the text part."

Dai Bowen picked up his work ID card, looked back and forth, and then began to read the information: "The details are a little bit limited, nine truths and one false. Eric, your deception method is no less than identifying lies."

Eric shrugged: "That's why I can teach you a professional deception player, my little magician."

Dai Bowen put the information booklet back on the table, and hung the work card on his chest: "Don't worry, I won't smash your signboard."

"Guess what? I never worried about this." Eric withdrew the information, "Speaking of which, do you really plan to do it yourself? I can borrow someone to be your assistant."

Dai Bowen replied: "No, Eric, thank you, but I am used to doing it alone."

"'Friendly reminder'——" Eric stretched out a finger, "When you are concentrating on questioning one person after another, and suddenly realize that something seems wrong before, your memory alone may not be able to give you more Help. Especially, you know, the local 'little villains' have a bunch of liar 'brothers' who almost instinctively cover up for everyone else."

"...Okay." Dai Bowen sighed, "You won. Please lend me an assistant. In addition to reading expressions, he can also take pictures and control every frame of the picture."

"Wow, a high-tech talent is needed." Eric blinked and smiled, "He will report to you tomorrow, but I doubt you can afford his salary."

"Don't worry about that." Dai Bowen stood up and was about to leave Eric's office. "I'll give him half of my commission. You know, Mr. Shen is the one who pays my salary!"

As he spoke, he glanced at Shen Xiuyuan who was standing beside him.

Eric also stood up and shook hands with them goodbye.When he finished shaking hands with Shen Xiuyuan, he couldn't help sighing: "If James knows that you are dating an entrepreneur, I don't know how he will feel."

Dai Bowen was startled, and looked at Eric suspiciously: "Why should I let him know?"

Eric looked at him too, without saying a word, just shrugged.

"Hey, Eric..." Dai Bowen frowned, "No, no, wait! What are you kidding?"

"James owns 30% of Russell Studios," Eric said. "He has the right to know every employee coming in and out."

Dai Bowen said: "I don't have this part in my memory!"

Eric replied: "It's normal, he joined two years ago. And he just contributed money and didn't participate in any actual work."

"From the first time I called you to just now, you haven't mentioned a word about this matter!" Dai Bowen squinted his eyes, "What a superb lie, what an excellent acting!"

"Relax, Dai. When he joined two years ago, he didn't expect this to happen." Eric spread his hands, "This can only be said to be an arrangement of fate."

"Fuck your fate." Dai Bowen pursed his lips, "I now have reason to suspect that your so-called assistant is also a condition he offered, right? He wants to put eyeliner by my side?"

Eric said: "It depends on what you think, dear."

"Excuse me." Shen Xiuyuan interrupted suddenly, "Can you tell me, who is James? It sounds like there is some emotional entanglement here, and one of them is my boyfriend, huh?"

"Dai's crazy suitor back then."

"I want people who apply for a court restraining order."

Eric and Dai Bowen replied at the same time.

"If I had known earlier, I would have contacted you, lest your old lover come out and make trouble."

Two men came out of the office building and walked quickly down the stairs.Shen Xiuyuan hung up the phone, turned his head and glanced at Dai Bowen next to him, but couldn't help mentioning this.

"I'm also very helpless about this kind of thing. I didn't expect it." Dai Bowen stuffed his work card into his inner pocket, "But Eric is the person who enters and exits the President's Office, and his studio has signed the highest confidentiality contract. It's more official."

"I've arranged for someone to forward the information Russell sent you to the police as soon as possible." Shen Xiuyuan shook his phone, "The time it takes for the police to reply will determine whether he is 'official' or not."

Dai Bowen opened the car door and let Shen Xiuyuan get in the car first, showing a caring attitude: "Although jealousy is a kind of fun, you have to understand that I don't want to see James. This is definitely not a play-by-play, trust me."

Shen Xiuyuan stepped into the car, moved to the other side, raised his eyebrows and said, "Is there anyone else you are afraid of?"

"Fear? Maybe." Dai Bowen sat next to him and closed the car door. "I hate autocratic and arrogant people, and people who have capital and authoritarian and arrogant, and he is exactly both."

"Sounds like you're talking about me."

"Yes, that's why I hate you too." Dai Bowen raised his hand to pinch the man's chin, and kissed the corner of his mouth with his head, "But I love you again, at the same time."

"Love and hate at the same time, sounds like the highest level of emotional bond?" Shen Xiuyuan raised his eyebrows, "Aren't you going to tell me about him?"

"No." As the car moved, Dai Bowen sat up a little bit, and let go of Shen Xiuyuan's chin, "I feel like it's a waste to spend one more second on him."

"Hey..." Shen Xiuyuan stretched out his hand to grab back the claw that had just left, and held it, "No matter how much capital he has as 'tyrannical and arrogant', I will never let him have a chance to hurt you, understand?"

The man's voice is deep and magnetic, which brings a sense of security.

"Of course I understand." With a smile on the corner of Dai Bowen's mouth, he squinted at him, "So let's stop paying attention to an insignificant person, shall we?"

"no problem."

The off-road vehicle quickly drove out of the city and onto the highway.In order to get Dai Bowen's "official certification", they had to come to this city in person, and then returned quickly.Fortunately, the two cities are not far away, and two hours is enough to reach them.

The vast plain scenery surrounds the national road, and the houses along the road are also very far apart.Dai Bowen looked at the scenery outside the window, his consciousness was gradually in a trance, and the sudden ringtone of the car phone woke him up.

The driver said sorry, pulled out the earphones and put them on, while Dai Bowen took out his mobile phone and opened it to look through it.

"I am....Okay, I understand." After the call of less than 15 seconds, the driver put the earphones back into the storage box and glanced at the rearview mirror, "Mr. Shen, the police have confirmed Mr. Dai's qualifications." , Officer Clark may contact you directly later to discuss the time to visit those young people."

"Okay, thank you." Shen Xiuyuan nodded, and when he turned to look at Dai Bowen, he found that he was staring at the phone screen with a sullen face.

"what happened?"

"It's nothing."

Dai Bowen squinted, and pressed the confirmation button to delete the message.
