The Universe's First Hide and Seek

The auction will start soon.

Dai Bowen's savings can't even afford a fraction of the auction items, so of course there is nothing to pay attention to, and looking through the auction list is considered to be part of the fun.At most, when the price of the drop hammer exceeds the reserve price by many times, you will sigh "Wow", and it will be over.

Surprisingly, Shen Xiuyuan didn't seem interested either.

He and Assistant Liang have been talking in a low voice, sometimes looking at his communicator, not paying attention to the situation of the auction.It's just that when Dai Bowen occasionally turned on the live broadcast to see the auction items at a close distance, Shen Xiuyuan would turn his head and take a look, as if to confirm Dai Bowen's situation, and then continue talking to Assistant Liang.

Twenty minutes later, Assistant Liang looked at his communicator and said, "Boss, he's coming."

Shen Xiuyuan nodded: "En."

Assistant Liang glanced at Dai Bowen, and confirmed again: "Do you really want David to avoid it?"

Shen Xiuyuan said: "No need."

Assistant Liang said in a low voice: "But he has nothing to do with this matter. If he doesn't evade, he will be involved. What if they think David is one of us and take any action against him..."

Shen Xiuyuan: "Then protect him."

Assistant Liang: ... You are stupid!Absolutely a fool!

He also tried to persuade: "If you want to protect his safety, it's better not to let him be present at the beginning... And if the things you got today are leaked out, if something goes wrong, it's not only that the plan may fail, your boss Security may also be compromised..."

"Okay, don't say any more." Shen Xiuyuan interrupted him, then turned his head and said, "David."

Dai Bowen was surfing the star network, watching the gossip about spiritual carders and explorers who have been making a fuss recently. Hearing this, he turned his head and looked at the two of them: "Huh?"

"Someone will come later." Shen Xiuyuan said, "There must be no mistakes in the things he entrusted to me, otherwise my life will be at stake."

Dai Bowen: ...Why are you telling me this?

Assistant Liang: Why tell him so clearly? !

"So, do you know what to do?" Shen Xiuyuan said, "You said you wouldn't hurt me."

Dai Bowen actually heard some implication, but he didn't show any expression on his face, he just said: "Should I... avoid it?"

Assistant Liang: Correct!

Shen Xiuyuan: "No need."

Dai Bowen and Assistant Liang: ...

Shen Xiuyuan said again: "I told you just now, all you have to do is shut up and look with your eyes, have you forgotten so quickly?"

Assistant Liang didn't think there was anything to be said, and thought it was to make Dai Bowen stricter.From Dai Bowen's ears, this is no longer a temptation, it's nothing more than an explicit statement.

He raised his eyebrows and looked at Shen Xiuyuan: "Are you sure, Mr. Stewart?"

While talking, Dai Bowen had already decided to take a gamble.

In fact, he has been thinking about it tonight, but he hasn't made a decision yet.To be precise, he has been thinking about this matter for a while, but today the urge to act suddenly arises.It wasn't because of his own whim, but because of Shen Xiuyuan's behavior, which was really abnormal.

If the discussion about Su Jingjing in the morning was considered normal, from noon onwards, everything seemed too abnormal.Lunch, flower show, dinner, auction... Shen Xiuyuan appeared in a place where he would not normally appear, and brought Dai Bowen, the gardener, to a place where he would never come.

The cause of all this was Shen Xiuyuan's abnormal performance.

And now, he even wanted to involve Dai Bowen in an event that sounded terrible.

At this moment, Dai Bowen felt that there was no need to start the temptations arranged before, and he could just buy it and let it go!

Therefore, while asking Shen Xiuyuan "Are you sure?", Dai Bowen has already called out the judgment procedure.

[System, hide-and-seek game, betting judgment. 】

The long-lost, familiar system sound rang in his mind: [System response, please lock your target candidate. 】

[Just the one in front of you, Shen Xiuyuan. 】

[Shen Xiuyuan has been locked, please confirm him...]

"Hey." Shen Xiuyuan suddenly grabbed Dai Bowen's wrist, interrupting his communication with the system, "I'm sure, but what were you thinking just now? Stop!"

Assistant Liang:? ? ?What is this unfolding?Why did you grab it?

Dai Bowen raised his eyebrows.

——Listening to these words, I always feel that Shen Xiuyuan guessed what he was doing...

Shen Xiuyuan saw his hesitation, turned over his palm, first drew a heart on his palm with his fingers, and then wrote a capital "D" in the middle.

Dai Bowen:! ! !

This is the code for him and his partner. After all, he and his partner have traveled through several worlds at the same time, and later decided on this pattern of recognition.Although it was only drawn by Dai Bowen as a joke at first, the subject took it seriously and used it.

Painting now is equivalent to self-destruct.

Dai Bowen hesitated for a moment, and then said tentatively: "If I stop, you will definitely not do it?"

This is called the judgment procedure.

Shen Xiuyuan said: "No."

"why?"

"I'll talk about the reason in detail later, it's too late now." Shen Xiuyuan said, "In short, you can't make mistakes in what you're waiting for, do you understand?"

"..." Dai Bowen looked at his hand holding his wrist, "Are you ordering me, or please me?"

Shen Xiuyuan smiled: "When did I order you?"

"often."

"But you will always find love." Shen Xiuyuan said, "Don't you just want to find love now?"

Assistant Liang: ...Why does the atmosphere become more and more strange the more I listen to it? ! ? ! ? !

Dai Bowen said: "But I could have scored..."

"Aren't you getting too few points in front of me?" Shen Xiuyuan said, "Take care of the immediate matter first, will you help me?"

Indeed, when Dai Bowen made a "player-to-player judgment" with his partner before, the winner was always Dai Bowen, always one step ahead of Shen Xiuyuan.Dai Bowen couldn't be more familiar with the judgment procedure.At this moment, the system in his mind was still asking whether he was sure. He stared at Shen Xiuyuan for two seconds and said, "If you lie to me, be careful of the consequences."

"I know the consequences will be serious." Shen Xiuyuan said, "You judge for yourself, am I lying?"

Dai Bowen looked at him silently for a while, and finally interrupted the judgment procedure.Anyway, even if Shen Xiuyuan tricks him into judging himself...he can still deal with him when he goes back.

"...Okay." Dai Bowen pulled out his hand and said, "So, you want me to do free labor again, Mr. Stewart?"

Shen Xiuyuan smiled: "After all, you are a professional."

Dai Bowen said: "I don't want to take your life."

Shen Xiuyuan said: "You don't have enough time to bear..."

"..." Assistant Liang, who was listening to the conversation between the two in a daze, glanced at the communicator and had to interrupt, "You two, people are coming."

Shen Xiuyuan glanced at Dai Bowen, smiled, and said to Assistant Liang: "It's okay, come on."

Assistant Liang was at a loss, but he got up and went to the door to make preparations.

Seeing him go away, Shen Xiuyuan turned his head and shook Dai Bowen's hand.Dai Bowen raised his eyebrows, squeezed Shen Xiuyuan's hand hard, and then shook it away.

Shen Xiuyuan smiled lowly: "Go back and explain to you."

Dai Bowen raised his eyebrows: "There are other people around, and you just collapsed like this?"

Shen Xiuyuan said: "It's okay, my own."

"He was shocked, this guy is too stupid..." Dai Bowen said, the door of the box opened, and he immediately shut up.

A middle-aged man entered.

He didn't wear a gentleman's formal attire, but a simple black combat suit that was easy to move around and easy to wear.The trouser legs were tucked into the boots, and when he walked, his footsteps were heavy and steady, and his unfriendly expression seemed to have a certain sense of oppression.He walked in with a file bag, stood in front of Shen Xiuyuan, and first glanced at Dai Bowen behind him: "Who is this?"

"My assistant, David." Shen Xiuyuan said, "Bring me here to meet you, the leader of 'Wild Wolf', and maybe let him contact you directly for me in the future."

"Such an important role?" The man approached Dai Bowen and held out his hand, "I'm Court."

Dai Bowen stood up and shook hands with him: "David."

Court glanced at his mask: "Can't recognize the face?"

"Not yet." Shen Xiuyuan said, "If you haven't practiced to the level of calmness, you will still be nervous. It's not good to be seen by others."

"Well, it means 'an important confidant in the future, bring it out for exercise now'?" Court didn't pursue too much, took a few steps back by himself, and sat on the chair opposite Shen Xiuyuan.He handed the document bag in his hand to Shen Xiuyuan, and said: "Here, what you want. What age is it? You actually want a paper copy. I am convinced. I have to print it out for you. The data security lock on the printer It is several times stricter than the gate of my house, so I dare to connect the file and type it out."

"I'm still a little afraid of the transmission of digital information, you know." Shen Xiuyuan smiled, took a look at the file bag, but didn't open it directly, but continued to chat with Kurt, "I know this thing is very It's hard to get, but you guys actually got it... it can't be a trap, right?"

"If you ask that, I can only say that our own intelligence believes that this is 100% true. It is precisely because of this that I can deliver it to you, right?" Court sneered, " But if you ask me if I can guarantee that this is not a trap, I can't guarantee it completely, after all, our intelligence may also be wrong."

"'Wild Wolf' actually feels that he can't fully guarantee it?" Shen Xiuyuan said, "It seems that this task is a bit difficult for you."

"This statement is wrong. Although there are difficulties, I think we have successfully completed the task." Courte said, "But if things are true or not, they can't be so absolute in theory, can they? If there is such a ten thousandth There is only one possibility, Stuart, you want to count this account on our 'wild wolves', it would be too unfair."

Shen Xiuyuan gave the file bag to Dai Bowen, and then replied to Court: "Are you reminding me, don't think about defaulting on the final payment?"

"It can be said that." Court laughed, "On the other hand, I want to emphasize that our reputation is well-known throughout the stars."

"Yeah, the kind that is famous on the Red List." Shen Xiuyuan smiled, "Okay, we will look at the information, and if there is no problem, we will call you within 72 hours for the final payment."

"I really appreciate your quick payment." Court said, "But why do you sound like you are driving people away? I only came in for a few minutes?"

"If you want, you can sit here for a while." Shen Xiuyuan pointed to the table next to him, "Basically the things you ordered have not been moved. If you don't mind, you can eat some, or order some more."

Court glanced at it: "Forget it, there is no wine, you are too self-denying, what's the point of such a self-disciplined life?"

"I've had some dinner just now, so I don't dare to drink too much before getting down to business." Shen Xiuyuan smiled, "Want a glass of wine to celebrate?"

"Forgive me, you drink too elegantly, I can't come." Court stood up, "Let's go, the style is too different from yours, so I won't attract people's suspicion here."

With that said, he said "see you later" and went out.Assistant Liang got up and sent him to the door, watched him go, then closed the box door and walked back.

Shen Xiuyuan turned his head and asked Dai Bowen: "How is it?"

Assistant Liang thought that what he meant by asking was to let Dai Bowen read the document and put forward his own opinion.Unexpectedly, Dai Bowen threw the folder on Shen Xiuyuan's body, leaned against the back of the chair and thought about it for a while, his half-closed eyes looked more and more like a simple gardener.

A few seconds later, Dai Bowen concluded: "He has a problem."
