Post-Apocalyptic Rebirth: The Ghost Guanyin Transforms into a God
Chapter 126 The Scam Den
Seeing familiar faces here was a pleasant surprise for Miao Yin.
So fate is a wonderful thing. The ancient capital and Yecheng, two places so far apart, are somehow connected.
Miao Yin recalled what Yan Shuzhou had told her before: the hurtful words Liao Qian uttered to Lin Yaozong when he was forced to kneel on the ground.
She had initially thought that Liao Qian had made up this lie to prevent Lin Yaozong from leaving for her sake, but now that she looked at it this way, it seemed to be true.
She said she investigated Lin Yaozong's background and learned that he was a rich second-generation. In order to inherit the wealth, she deliberately approached him and even bought accident insurance, intending to cheat him out of money and his life.
On the surface, it seems like she made this up to prevent her boyfriend from dying for her, but upon closer inspection, her words are overly detailed, and in that situation, it might not actually be a lie.
This Liao Qian is a real fraudster.
So the people in the control room looked at her strangely, as if they believed she was capable, but were also unconvinced by her. It turned out that it wasn't just because her boyfriend was Lin Yaozong, who had saved people.
Miao Yin pulled out a few more photos, and without exception, the people in them all looked miserable and timid.
Several of them are currently in this building, having already integrated into it and become a part of it.
—This office building is a den of scammers.
Miao Yin's understanding of pyramid schemes and fraud groups was limited to the stories Tu Hao had told her before.
In Tu Hao's description, these people were beasts who had long lost their humanity and only knew how to chase money and profit.
After the apocalypse, killing and robbing can be explained by the need to survive, but these kinds of people were not good people before the apocalypse, and after the apocalypse, they went even further and became more insane than anyone else, showing no mercy when killing their teammates.
Miao Yin had indeed met some scammers who were very smooth-talking. They swindled money before the apocalypse and swindled supplies after the apocalypse. They truly took their expertise to the extreme.
Miao Yin threw the photos back into the safe, closed the cabinet, and left the office.
She also needs to find a room where she can rest.
Miao Yin casually tapped the wall, her enhanced hearing from her ghostly form keenly distinguishing the sounds coming from above.
Miao Yin stopped and looked up when a certain knocking sound suddenly became hollow.
The wall next to her was painted in patches of new and old paint, and several old notice boards hung along the way.
This location is similar to a downward passage on the seventh floor in the structural diagram she just saw upstairs.
It seems that the structural diagram is genuine.
If I remember correctly, there should be a mechanism here that, when opened, reveals a slide-like passage leading directly to the enclosed first and second floors.
Miao Yin withdrew her hand, not wanting to investigate further, and chose an office a little further away from Ling and the others as her place to rest for the night.
However, it's not certain that we'll ever need it.
She seemed calm and collected, but things might not be so simple downstairs.
……
Unexpectedly, the first one to get into trouble was Ji Yuanzhou.
Reason for the incident: Relationship between a man and a woman.
Ji Yuanzhou was born with a handsome appearance. After working as a teacher for several years, he had a gentle and calm temperament. When he wore glasses, his eyes were full of stories. Just standing there, he was the epitome of a gentle and flowing stream.
He was older than Yan Shuzhou, but he lacked the naivety and immaturity of a teenager. Instead, he possessed a maturity and ease that came from years of experience in the real world.
He didn't have the same murderous aura and sharp edge as Tu Hao, who seemed ready to kill everyone at any moment.
He was polite and humble, unlike the lofty, unattainable moon in the sky, or the dreamlike electronic butterfly that disappears after being turned off.
In conclusion, Ji Yuanzhou gives people a very approachable feeling.
It's as if you could grab him as soon as you reach out.
Therefore, he often has many romantic opportunities.
The women living here had long been tired of the rough-looking, disheveled men around them. When they saw Ji Yuanzhou, their eyes were filled with desire, as if they wanted to tear him apart.
"Handsome, where are you sleeping tonight?" Several women walked over and surrounded him, so close that he could smell their cheap perfume.
The project these people were in charge of before the apocalypse involved dressing themselves up beautifully and using live streaming or card dealing to lure greedy people into the bottomless pit of gambling.
She's already quite adept at flirting.
However, Ji Yuanzhou, who has a lot of luck with women, has always had a bad habit.
— Male chauvinism.
From childhood to adulthood, unless the other party explicitly stated that they were interested in him, he had never noticed anyone flirting with him and had always perfectly concealed it with his politeness.
Example:
A friend after a dinner party: Wow, you two were having such a good chat with that female teacher, are you two about to get together?
Ji Yuanzhou: Huh? No, we were just talking about a few disobedient students in the class.
A friend commented: "The female teacher who asked for your WeChat and inquired about your preferences clearly has a crush on you!"
Ji Yuanzhou: It's just about exchanging contact information and sharing course materials. You're overthinking it, aren't you?
A friend: ...And what about you? You're not interested in her, yet you keep chatting?
Ji Yuanzhou: She's a girl, and we don't know each other well here. Of course I have to respond when she talks to me, otherwise it would be so awkward if the atmosphere got cold.
A friend said: But she blushed when she looked at you, so she must like you!
Ji Yuanzhou: That's because they've been drinking. It's impolite to damage someone's reputation.
A friend: ...6.
A week later, Ji Yuanzhou, who was confessed to by the girl: ...?
This innate insensitivity to emotions is not only reflected in romantic relationships, but sometimes also in the malice shown to him by others.
When others make sarcastic or even blatant mockery, he's still wondering if they're joking with him.
He never even realizes that others have a problem with him until the past is over.
His heightened emotional awareness protected his mental world, preventing him from internal conflict and allowing him to grow happily.
—This also earned him the title of "University Playboy".
However, his emotional perception has improved considerably compared to before.
Those enhanced perceptions were mainly used to detect Miao Yin's malice and prevent her from harming him.
In order to survive, the brain is forced to improve its skills.
However, this skill is only effective against Miao Yin and is not very useful against other people at the moment.
So when those people asked questions that seemed like greetings but actually had ulterior motives, Ji Yuanzhou thought about it seriously for a while and then chose a secluded spot.
"There."
"Then you'll have to come with us to the room to get your blankets and tent."
The woman, dressed in a skirt and wearing makeup, tossed her hair, lightly bit her lower lip, and her eyes sparkled as she emphasized the word "room."
Ji Yuanzhou sensed something was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
He suddenly remembered what Yan Shuzhou had just relayed: they were going to separate the men and kill them all.
Then he understood.
They didn't even wait one night, and they're already making their move?
