Global Game: I Have Portable Store

Chapter 427: Chapter 13: Questions

Morning comes.

News on TV reports various accidents and some inexplicable supernatural events. For the scenes they couldn’t capture, they showed some hand-drawn sketches.

The government seems to realize that it can’t keep this under wraps forever, so they need to gradually unfold the truth to everyone.

Wang Liang sits on the ground, a piece of bread in his mouth, intently watching the news, and says:

”Feels like a suspense show, kind of weird... Have you seen where Su Changxing went?”

Zhou An thinks for a moment and says, ”Him? He went out early, has something to do.”

...

Su Changxing once again comes near Bar No. 35, having received a call from Huang Tao early in the morning, saying there’s news about Huang Biao and he needs to come over.

”That guy won’t sell me out, will he?”

He thinks it’s really possible. The present-day Huang Tao doesn’t know him, so selling him out to survive wouldn’t be surprising.

Su Changxing didn’t go in but stood at the bar entrance waiting, looked around, and saw the front desk was still the same guy, with seemingly no anomalies, including those people still drunk senseless.

He doesn’t really drink and finds it hard to comprehend why anyone would get addicted to alcohol and what that feeling might be like.

Quickly.

Huang Tao rushes out of the bar, not looking good, forcing a smile, ”Ha, you came fast. You get along well with my uncle, right? Let’s go inside to chat.”

Su Changxing stares at him, speaking lightly, ”Speak the truth, who else is inside.”

Huang Tao froze, stammering, unable to speak, ”No, this...”

Adversity truly can change a person. The current Huang Tao is completely different from the one in the apocalyptic world, at least lacking that fearless spirit.

Su Changxing waved his hand, saying, ”Are they people from the Security Bureau?”

Huang Tao was startled, nodding, ”Yes, they’re from the Security Bureau. You know?”

Su Changxing walks straight inside, saying, ”Let’s see the situation first. If there’s danger later, you run for your life primarily, dying isn’t worth it.”

The two of them sit in a corner inside.

A woman in a brown leather jacket, with an air of heroism between her brows, sits across, staring at Su Changxing and says:

”Since you’re looking for Huang Biao, you’re the same kind of person as him, right?”

”Sort of.”

Su Changxing examines her, confirming he hasn’t seen her before, and speaks lightly.

She continues,

”I’m Leng Ying, from the Security Bureau. We specifically handle special incidents. According to the newly drafted ’Doomsday Technique’, people like you need to come with us, for uniform allocation.”

Su Changxing raises his eyebrows, smiling, ”Doomsday Technique? Is there such a thing?”

Leng Ying firmly says, ”It’s already being implemented, just not announced to the public yet.”

The table still has uncleaned wine stains, but the dim light makes it unclear.

The expressions on their faces are also hard to discern.

Su Changxing leans back in his seat, calmly saying, ”I have a question, was Huang Biao captured by you?”

Leng Ying shakes her head expressionlessly,

”No, he disappeared before we got there. Now you need to come with us, to protect your safety.”

Su Changxing perceives that the other party has no clue who he is, which is strange. Logically, his information would definitely be brought out as long as someone from the Security Bureau is alive.

”You don’t know who I am?”

Su Changxing directly asks, carefully observing the woman’s beautiful face, sensing her heart pounding hard, seemingly very nervous, yet her face shows none of it.

Leng Ying pauses, shaking her head, ”Why should I know you?”

Su Changxing muses, ”So I’m very curious, why would they let someone who knows nothing handle this.”

Leng Ying feels the high and mighty demeanor of Su Changxing, getting a bit angry, coldly stating:

”Does it matter? My mission is just to take you for allocation.”

Su Changxing nods, signaling he understands, and says, ”I request to talk directly with your tenth group’s leader. I have important matters, or his deputy will do.”

Hearing this, Leng Ying falls silent, her earphones transmitting intermittent sounds. She speaks coldly, ”Regardless, you have to come with us, or we’d have to use force.”

As soon as the words fall.

A dozen people surround them, revealing the guns in their hands. The ones actually drinking see this scene and are startled, fleeing abruptly.

Huang Tao timidly sits in the corner, silent, yet not afraid. Instead, he seems a bit excited.

Su Changxing smiles, casually saying,

”I advise you not to act, or you’ll definitely regret it. Two choices: either have your tenth group’s leader contact me directly, or let me leave.”

The woman looks at the relaxed Su Changxing, hesitant, feeling tremendous pressure. After both sides stalemate for a while, she suddenly sighs in relief, motions others to lower their guns, and says,

”Orders just came down from above, telling us to stop for now. So let’s wait... Given that, sitting here for a while is fine, right?”

Su Changxing’s smile broadens, nodding, saying,

”That’s fine, we can have a drink, although drinking at this time isn’t great for health.”

Leng Ying sternly says, ”Drinking is never good for health anytime.”

Su Changxing agrees, nodding, ”Hmm, makes sense... I have another question, what kind of organization is Chenxi.”

Leng Ying feels stifled, like it’s not them interrogating Su Changxing, but rather Su Changxing interrogating her, wondering why there are so many questions.

”A semi-official superpower organization. I’m not sure about the specifics.”

She glances at Huang Tao, calmly speaking.

Su Changxing purses his lips, says, ”So is it Chenxi behind Huang Biao’s case?”

She feels completely numb, blankly says, ”I don’t know either.”

At this point.

Su Changxing is practically sure Zhong Jueqing or Lin Xiuyu is still alive; otherwise, they wouldn’t specifically come to take care of Huang Biao.

”So you should know me, right? Didn’t you do your homework? Plus, you should have seen me yesterday.”

Su Changxing analyzes, saying.

”...”

Leng Ying is silent again for a moment, taking a deep breath, her chest heaving, saying, ”We can’t find any information on you, a complete blank. I think it must be encrypted and requires higher clearance.”

Su Changxing nods, ”So your level isn’t high enough?”

The woman grits her teeth secretly, feeling peculiarly annoying, suppressing her voice, ”That’s right.”

Su Changxing earnestly says, ”I don’t mean to belittle you.”

The woman’s fingers press into her thigh, calm, saying, ”That’s not important.”

”True, you all have high qualities, unaffected by emotional influences.”

Su Changxing nods, taking a sip of the drink Huang Tao served.
