Back to the Future 1999: Raining at the Same Time
Chapter 132 Negotiation
In order to avoid attracting attention, Chen Xi had already placed Lead Glass and his group in the wilderness. Even Anma and Dao Wu had returned to their original appearance and stayed at Chen Xi's waist.
Only Anya was unwilling to leave no matter what Chen Xi said. She always held Chen Xi's hand and hugged his arm tightly.
So, as expected, wherever he went, he was met with distant, disgusted looks mixed with a hint of curiosity.
After all, Si Chen, who always had a little pout on his face, was now looking like a little woman and sticking to the number one person on the foundation's wanted list. It must be a rare sight no matter how you think about it!
Although they all knew that the girl in front of them couldn't be Si Chen.
But this still does not prevent a gossipy heart from beating wildly in my body.
"Hey, tell me, why is there a girl who looks like Si Chen next to a wanted criminal?"
"Don't you know? Si Chen was stabbed to death by this man! I got the internal photos, look at it, he was stabbed straight through, it's obvious he wasn't going to survive!"
"I know! This person must have conducted some forbidden human experiment, and he's also a fanatic fan of Si Chen! So he made a fake one himself, then killed the real one, and wanted to keep Lord Si Chen all to himself!"
"But I heard Si Chen is still in the medical department for emergency treatment. What's going on?"
"You're stupid..."
The woman's mouth was only used to calm the restless heart in her body, and she didn't care at all whether she would live to know the truth.
A pair of eyes suddenly opened behind them, sending a chill down their spines, rubbing their fear.
The suffocating coldness made them shut up instantly, and they returned to their posts with their eyes and noses focused.
"Master, do you need it?"
You Meng, who had transformed into a spirit, floated beside Chen Xi and made a gesture of wiping his neck.
But Chen Xi just shook his head slightly:
"No, just teach them a lesson. Gossip is a woman's nature."
"Just take care of the lead glass and those things. You don't need to do anything else."
"Yes."
Youmeng's figure faded away, and the person leading the way also stopped at this time.
"You two, the vice president's office is just ahead."
After the white-robed "General Curtain Roller" finished speaking, he tightened the sickle in his hand and stood upright on the side of the gate.
"Okay, I'm going to go in and talk about something important next. Can you let me go for now?"
Chen Xi turned his head and gently touched Anya's head. Anya's expression gradually began to melt as she enjoyed the caress, and she accidentally made a comfortable gurgling sound.
But she turned her head and rubbed against Chen Xi's arms again, and refused like a spoiled child:
"No."
A helpless expression began to appear on her face. Chen Xi also stroked her head from behind her ears, lifted a strand of hair and stroked her cheek. When she was about to say something else, a voice came from the office:
"You two, come in together."
"Okay, it seems the vice president agrees. Anya, quickly thank the vice president."
But Anya seemed not to hear it. After a dissatisfied snort, she clung to Chen Xi even more wantonly.
"You kid."
With a laugh and a scolding, he pinched Anya's little face, and then the two of them walked into the president's office together.
Still single, the "curtain general" who was shown off twitched his lips outside the door:
I'm going to bury you in red bean paste! One of you will be buried in the South Pole and the other in the North Pole!
"Hello, nice to meet you. I'm Constantine, the vice president of the Saint Love Foundation."
Seeing that the negotiation had officially begun, Anya reluctantly let go of Chen Xi and planned to step aside.
After all, at least Chen Xi is within his sight.
But just as Anya was about to separate their bodies, Chen Xi grabbed her waist and held her in his arms again.
"Freelance mystic, Chen Xi."
For a moment, my heart beat so fast. He was so domineering just now. I like him so much!
While she was daydreaming, Chen Xi had already taken her to sit opposite Constantine.
"An...Anya, the rest is the same as above."
Curled up in Chen Xi's arms, Anya had completely ignored the environment and atmosphere at the moment.
The peace of mind and excitement she hadn't felt for a long time drove her to want to melt in his warm embrace and blend their body temperatures.
"Snapped!"
Chen Xi gently patted Anya on the head and woke up the confused little girl who had already started to have pink bubbles.
"We're still negotiating. If you want to do anything, wait until everything is over and it's just the two of us, okay?"
Although it was a question, the tone was undoubtedly tough, but Anya didn't know what she was thinking. She covered her face and fell into Chen Xi's arms, letting out a soft whimper in response.
Just when Chen Xi thought everything was fine, he felt the corner of his clothes being pulled again:
"Owner……"
It was Anma's weak but longing voice.
"Yeah, I know, and so do you."
The long-term companionship made him familiar with Anma's body. He caressed the most comfortable parts of her body to calm her restlessness.
Throughout this whole process, Constantine just watched quietly with an ambiguous smile.
"Mr. Chen Xi is really uninhibited."
After everything settled down, Constantine started his first round of attack.
"It's okay, it's just a small part."
Unfortunately, before entering the door, the initiative of this negotiation was destined to be in Chen Xi's hands.
"There is a woman named Arcana. She just had a quarrel and didn't come today. It's a pity."
After saying that, Chen Xi stretched out his hand towards the table, as if to pick up something.
"Can I take this as a threat?"
The question was asked with a stronger tone, but Chen Xi frowned slightly and replied with an irrelevant answer:
"Your foundation entertains guests, don't you even know to serve tea?"
Constantine seemed to be surprised by this statement. He was slightly stunned, then waved his hand to let people prepare, but still replied bluntly:
"Mr. Chen Xi can no longer be considered a guest of the foundation."
Up to now, Constantine still hasn't let go of the pride of the foundation. Even the cup of tea that Chen Xi asked for was just a kind of alms in her eyes, a kind of...alms provided by the foundation.
"But I brought you some gifts."
Before Constantine could speak, Chen Xi spread out his palm, and the palm split open in front of Constantine, slowly spitting out a glowing crystal sphere.
"This is John's consciousness. If you check the list of casualties from the previous battle, you should be able to find this unfortunate little guy."
"uh-huh."
As he alternated between crossing his legs, Constantine's expression remained arrogant, like a teacher examining a student submitting homework.
"I can resurrect him as an Awakened Consciousness, giving him a better body and a longer lifespan. After all, the physical body is painful, and the mechanical ascension is life-saving. And..."
Light balls continued to emerge from his palms, gradually filling up the table in front of Chen Xi.
"I have here the consciousness of all those who died. In other words - I didn't kill anyone."
His expression remained calm, with a faint smile. Even though he had been dealt the biggest hand, Constantine still tried to take the initiative in the negotiations in every aspect.
"So? It seems that Mr. Chenxi is a very kind person."
Ignoring Constantine's teasing, Chen Xi's eyes suddenly lit up:
"It seems our dear Vice President has no objection, so let's discuss the cost of making the body~"
When these words reached Constantine's ears, her expression became serious.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't look at me like that. Even for me, extracting consciousness is a struggle. Besides, creating a suitable body takes just as much effort as preserving consciousness.
It’s reasonable to charge you a small fee~”
Chen Xi happily put forward his point of view, and he had already got what he wanted to see most.
In fact, with the daily output of the wasteland plus the money already in the account, Chen Xi had no need to do such blackmail-like behavior, but he just wanted to see the vice-president who played with Veldin's mind in the plot, and show that deflated expression.
"The Science and Technology Center will create the most suitable bodies for them."
"That's great! Then please ask everyone at the Science and Computing Center to try their best to upload these consciousnesses into those bodies."
"You killed these people."
"I was acting in self-defense."
He tried to use moral blackmail, but Chen Xi didn't buy it at all.
"Besides, since my strength has just recovered, these shells that envelop my consciousness won't last long.
A conservative estimate is about six hours. Taking into account the fighting and the travel time, hmm... it seems there are less than three hours left. Vice President Constantine~"
He rolled one of the balls of light between his fingertips and gently flicked it into Constantine's palm.
"You don't want these people to be truly annihilated like this, do you?"
"what!"
Chen Xi gasped exaggeratedly and stared at Constantine across the table in shock.
"In that case, you will become their murderer, Vice President~"
In the end, the two agreed to a price of 10,000 yuan per person, with Chen Xi taking the lead in loading the consciousness.
When the bag of gold coins was placed in front of Chen Xi, he originally intended to refuse it, but the foundation's kindness was too great to refuse, so he had no choice but to accept the 660,000 gold coins with tears in his eyes.
He tossed it aside and let the sharp teeth swallow it all, and the two started a new topic.
"Regarding Si Chen's injury..."
The mention of Verdin made Chen Xi's face gloomy for the first time.
He helped Anya sit up straight with a bit of force, showing her face to Constantine:
"My relationship with Verdin is much closer than you think. You don't have to worry about her affairs. I will take care of it, Vice President."
After saying this, Chen Xi stood up, bowed curtly to Constantine, and turned around and left the office with Anya.
When the door was about to close, she heard Chen Xi's questioning voice outside the door:
"Excuse me, which direction is Si Chen's ward?"
