Across Deep Space: Four Men and a Play

She looked in the direction he pointed. That place was Charon's beast fighting game center and the location of the huge skylight.

Charon Arena.

The virtual screen was very large, so large that even in Qin Che's base, one could clearly see the ranking scrolling on it. The first place on it was the name that Xia Jiumeng saw when she came.

"To be able to maintain a ranking in such a cruel and chaotic game, one must be very strong."

"It was him last night. He is indeed not weak."

Every time a name rolls, a life is lost.

Xia Jiumeng was very curious. What kind of reward could attract so many people?

"Even though they know it's a game that will cost them their lives, so many people still participate. Is that gold coin worth such a price?"

"You know quite a bit." Qin Che nodded her head. "Less than 30% of the people who come to participate in this game are there for the gold coins."

"Others are driven simply by the desire to hunt, the bloodthirsty instinct, and the capital to occupy the land and become the king - or as a means to prove their loyalty."

Qin Che's eyes looked at the prosperous city shrouded in blood and darkness.

This is the real city of sin, an abandoned place.

After he finished speaking, he took Xia Jiumeng away from the window and the curtains closed.

On the huge light screen not far away, a red cross appeared on the portrait of the first place and then disappeared from the ranking list forever.

Sitting on the large black leather sofa, Xia Jiumeng asked Qin Che, "When will this game end?"

She wanted to wait until the game was over before going to the bottom of the Colosseum to look for the former site of the Gaia Institute.

Qin Che played with a strand of her long black hair and said, "Looking at the current situation, we should be able to enter the finals tomorrow. This stage always ends very quickly, and the longest is only six or seven days."

"But this time there's an extra 'stake' in the game, so the final will be more intense. I guess the winner will be decided in two days.

Then......."

"This arena is about to be demolished."

"tear down?"

"The arena has been coveted for years, but its owner is no longer young, and his once sharp claws have become dull."

"Those who have their eyes on that piece of land have tacitly agreed to have an 'overtime' match after the beast fighting game."

After listening to Qin Che's words, Xia Jiumeng knew that it would be too late to look for him after the game was over, so she could only take action now.

However.....she's recently become a bit lazy as she approaches her manic-depressive phase and doesn't feel like putting in much effort. So...

Qin Che noticed her gaze and quickly said, "Don't set your sights on me."

Xia Jiumeng curled her lips and said, "You have been watching the situation. Don't say you don't have any plan for this game."

Qin Che is a guy who won't do anything without profit. If he waits and sees, he must have some ideas.

Qin Che: "You are the one making all the noise with your abacus right now, right?"

Look at this bad fox, so cute.

Xia Jiumeng raised her eyebrows, turned over, sat on his legs, and pressed him on the sofa facing each other.

"You said you didn't mind being used by me. Now I want to use you to go to the arena. Do you agree?"

Qin Che let her hold him down and said with a smile, "If you want to drag someone into this, just coaxing and deceiving them isn't enough..."

His eyes were full of aggression and desire, which made Xia Jiumeng blush and her heart beat fast.

This guy...

"What do you want to do?"

"Nothing, but if you give me enough 'reward' I might consider being used by you."

"Otherwise I would have gone to entertain the 'guests'."

"Guest? What guest?" Xia Jiumeng looked at him in confusion.

The next second, before Qin Che could answer, there was a knock on the door. Xue Ming and Xue Ying, who had left the cab earlier, came back, and their voices came in through the door.

Xue Ying: "Boss, someone just reported that the goods that Ever brought this time have been cleared out."

Qin Che: "Leave some alive, don't be too clean."

Otherwise, no one would go back to report the news.

Xue Ying: "I understand."

Xue Ming said from the side, "Boss, there are a few dishonest people nearby, can we..."

Qin Che: "It's up to you."

Xue Ming said happily, "Thank you, Boss."

Then he took Xue Ying away.

Xia Jiumeng looked at him speechlessly. "So, the guest you are talking about is ever?"

This 'customer' who intercepted the goods and killed people was treated very badly, but she sounded quite happy about it.

Qin Che said calmly, "They came to my house specifically to discuss a good deal with me. How can I not be a good host?"

"So you just wiped them out?"

"dislike?"

"I like it, I like it very much." Xia Jiumeng smiled and leaned on Qin Che's muscular chest.

The full chest muscles and the well-defined abdominal muscles are so slick.

Qin Che was in a very good mood as he looked at the kitten in his arms quietly reaching out to "get some oil".

Xia Jiumeng was thinking about how to impress Qin Che to join her in the beast fighting game when Qin Che suddenly pulled her up.

"?"

"I'm free now anyway, so I'll take you to see something good."

After Qin Che finished speaking, he bent down, picked up the person and walked out.

Ten minutes later, Qin Che brought her to a ruin filled with fog and smoke.

There are still many strange energy fluctuations remaining in the air.

She glanced around, frowned, kicked the unknown object on the ground with her toes, and picked up the half-broken red wine.

"Tsk, it looks like it's a hundred years old, and there are so many jewelry boxes. Is this the gift they gave you?"

“I’m quite willing to give it up.”

The value of these things is not low, which shows that they have spent a lot of money in order to trade with Qin Che.

Qin Che did not comment, but just paced around and looked around.

"They knew I wouldn't show up, but they still tried to be polite. Why do you think they did that?"

It was common knowledge throughout N109 that Dark Spot and Ever didn't get along.

Xia Jiumeng lowered her eyes. "Ever is confident enough. They think that what they offer will definitely make you agree to cooperate."

But is there anything better than the genetic medicine in Qin Che's hands?

"Or... the deal is fake, and they want to use it to assassinate you."

Qin Che is obviously an unyielding stumbling block, so Ever naturally cannot let him go.

It's just that he is too strong, so they can only use some dirty tricks.

Qin Che nodded approvingly, "So, I don't have the patience to wait for them to slowly make their moves."

“Only when people are in desperate situations will they reveal all their hidden cards in order to protect themselves.”

Qin Che stopped and used the dark red supernatural thread to crush a gun butt on the ground that still had residual core energy.

"I prefer an efficient and simple approach rather than going around in circles with them."

Xia Jiumeng sensed the residual energy fluctuations in the air. Although it was chaotic, she could still sense many different forces.

However, the strength of these forces is not high, and even if Qin Che takes them without being prepared, they will not pose a threat to him.

"If these are the only methods I have for you, they're a bit too common."

Qin Che: "So their real methods are far inferior to these..."

boom----!

Qin Che's words were interrupted. Not far away, a metal wall suddenly collapsed. In the smoke and dust, many black figures holding weapons stood in an orderly manner.

Xia Jiumeng instantly noticed the energy fluctuations in the air.

"The energy fluctuations have changed."

In the blink of an eye, dozens of tiny blue light spots were aimed at the center of her and Qin Che's eyebrows.

"Finally here." Qin Che's aura changed and became fierce in an instant.

Before being pierced by the rays, he hugged Xia Jiumeng and retreated. The next second, the place where they had been standing turned into scorched earth.

Before they could catch their breath, the beams of light converged again.

Qin Che protected her behind him and said, "Stand behind me."

The black and red mist expanded from his side, like the bloody mouth of a giant beast, rushing towards the blue light that was gathering again.

However, the mist that was supposed to swallow the blue light was instantly disintegrated, and surging air waves and countless energy rays suddenly burst out in all directions.

"These rays diminish your powers."

Qin Che's red eyes narrowed. "Antimatter weapons, they actually got some interesting stuff."

He reached out to wipe the blood from the side of his neck, but strangely the wound did not heal.

The black shadows raised their guns and aimed again in unison. Qin Che did not get angry but smiled instead, and his palm once again condensed an even more powerful supernatural power.

This was the first time he had been targeted like this since he had acquired superpowers. They had successfully angered him.

"let me."

Xia Jiumeng reached out and touched the wound on Qin Che's neck, and the injury that was originally suppressed by antimatter recovered in an instant.

The same dark red energy as Qin Che's instantly turned into countless dense silk threads that appeared around him. In just a blink of an eye, the movements of those black shadows were all frozen as if the pause button was pressed.

Then, like split cubes, they were attracted by gravity and fell down piece by piece.

Qin Che: "...."

"I didn't expect you to have such a strong taste."

Qin Che waved his supernatural power, and the cubes scattered in a ball not far away disappeared and turned into dark red energy spots.

Xia Jiumeng rolled her eyes in annoyance. "Strong taste?"

"It's very elegant, okay?"

Cutting blocks of this size will minimize the risk of blood spreading.

Instead of fighting and making people into pieces, these neat and clean little squares are the best.

"Yes, very elegant." Qin Che did not refute.

Xia Jiumeng snorted softly, "Mr. Qin, I saved your life. How do you want to repay me?"

"How do you want me to repay you?"

"How about I pledge myself to you?"

Xia Jiumeng looked at Qin Che's perfect face...will she pledge herself to him?

"How is this a reward? Aren't you already mine?"

She reached out and stroked Qin Che's thin lips.

There were still kisses and hugs, and even...close-range contact. Does that mean I'm still not hers?

Qin Che chuckled softly upon hearing this, his sturdy chest trembling slightly. "It's yours."

"That's it, let's change to someone who is more sincere."

"For example, accompany me to the Colosseum to find the ruins of Gaia there."

"Well, you have the final say."

As the two were talking, a blue light suddenly appeared at their feet again.

Looking up, she saw a lot of black figures appearing in the distance. They were exactly the same as the ones she had "dealt with" before, or even more.

"so troublesome."

When she was about to use her supernatural power again, Qin Che pulled her and teleported her to the motorcycle.

"Don't overuse your powers. Get rid of them first. You can open it."

Qin Che picked up the core weapon on the ground and took the initiative to sit in the back seat.

"Row."

The roar of a motorcycle sounded instantly, and the car with full power was speeding through N109, while the rumble of continuous gunfire came from behind.

She lowered her figure to avoid the ubiquitous explosions, while Qin Che sat in the back seat, holding a core nuclear weapon and firing continuously as if he was playing a shooting game.

"These antimatter weapons are aimed at you, right?"

During the driving period, Xia Jiumeng had time to speak.

Qin Che didn't care. "They are just some low-quality products. They can't be considered antimatter weapons. Focus on the traffic lights..."

"Besides, I'm not alone, don't I have you?"

As they were talking, two black figures on motorcycles caught up with them from the left and right, and simultaneously rushed towards the middle in an attempt to overturn their cars.

"You just didn't let me overuse my superpowers."

She said this, but when she saw the motorcycles preparing to attack from both sides, she released the accelerator and the car suddenly slowed down and backed up to avoid the collision.

"It's quite difficult."

Qin Che frowned as he looked at the black shadow that was chasing him closely.

"really."

Xia Jiumeng took the time to take a look and saw that there were quite a few people.

There were no energy fluctuations from monsters on those people, nor were there any signs of transformation on their bodies, but their movements were slightly stiff. They did not look like normal people, but rather like machines receiving instructions.

Looking at the orange-red boundary line outside the two red lights, Xia Jiumeng turned directly and drove over there.

"It seems we have no choice but to go in."

"If I continue to be with the Dark Spot Boss, I'm afraid I'll become a sitting duck."

The scene flashed before her eyes, and the orange-red light swept across the front wheel of the motorcycle and then spread across her vision and Qin Che's body.

Those masked shadows obviously knew Charon's rules. They stopped in their tracks as if they had hit a wall of air and watched their backs as they rode away.

After turning into an empty alley, the car broke down completely.
