Chapter 232: Stealing Tickets Anyway
Yin Ran is enjoying a leisurely afternoon.
Her considerate and versatile Xiao Rui brought a glass of specially prepared "Storm". Picking up an ice cube and throwing it into the wine, the glass suddenly flashed with thunder and lightning, a cyclone rolled and steamed, and rich sea salt-flavored cream rolled on the dark wine. She picked up the wine glass and took a sip. The refreshing and spicy wine roared in her mouth, and then rolled into her stomach and ignited a warmth.
This is the fine wine produced in Meichen Star, a treasure from Lord Amubi's wine cellar. When she took away all of Lord Amubi's pants, she also visited his wine cellar. Facts have proved that the fine wine in the Lord's private collection will not disappoint.
Yin Ran drank the wine in one gulp, and Xiao Rui thoughtfully brought another glass. This time, the special drink was called "Hundreds of Chirps and Thousands of Sounds". Xiao Rui poured a little soda water, and the clear wine immediately made a gentle low sound like a bird's song. She picked up the glass and shook it, and poured the refreshing wine into her throat again.
After a few drinks, her face was slightly flushed, but she was still clear-headed.
Although she was being monitored by the Security Committee and the Eye of Supervision, in other words, she was under the protection of the Security Committee and the Eye of Supervision. Protection, Yin Ran smiled, she liked this word.
This means that even if she is wanted by more than fifty planets and sentenced to death on more than four planets, the two most powerful order agencies in the galaxy will protect her. More importantly, she lives a leisurely life on an independent planet with a suitable climate and comfortable life.
Not having to worry about security issues, not having to worry about her patrons getting her involved in any political struggles, isn't this the retirement life she's always dreamed of? Thinking of this, the surveillance of the Security Committee and the Eye of Supervision seemed to be completely ignorable.
Yin Ran narrowed her eyes and motioned Xiao Rui to pour her another glass of wine.
But in an instant, the room was plunged into darkness.
"Xiao Rui?" Yin Ran shouted.
No voice answered her.
She stood there, keenly aware that she had been teleported to another dimension in an instant.
Is he an enemy or a friend who could teleport suddenly without her noticing?
…
There was a faint light in the distance. Yin Ran took a step forward.
Deep in the corridor, a pale yellow light shone through the crack of the door onto the ground. Yin Ran pushed open the door.
In front of her was a garden full of birdsong and fragrance. Flowers were competing for beauty, and some birds that were obviously not from Laura's animal family were flying and singing in the garden. Several machines were moving among the flowers and spraying water. Yin Ran calmly observed her surroundings. The scene she saw now was not an illusion, and this was definitely not her home.
After walking deeper into the garden path, she met the owner of the garden.
In front of him was a pot of Thorn Star Winnie Tang flowers, a plant that would sing beautiful and light songs at the right temperature. Because of its lively singing and the difficulty of artificial cultivation, the price of this flower on the black market was extremely high. The owner of the garden, Duke Jill of the Loya Nest, was trimming the plant with scissors.
"Look at this leaf," said Duke Gil, without raising his head. "The insect has laid its eggs behind the leaf. If I hadn't discovered it, the whole Winnie the Pooh would have been ruined in a few days."
"Your Excellency the Duke." Yin Ran tried to keep her tone calm, "Why did you suddenly transfer me here?"
With a click, the scissors in Duke Gil's hand cut off a branch, and the Winnie Tang flower immediately burst into a sharp scream. Its song was very moving, but its scream was not so beautiful. At this time, Yin Ran felt that this scream was so creepy that it almost tore her skin off.
Duke Gil looked up at him. He now looked like a real Homo sapiens. His bionic shell was tall and sturdy, with a handsome appearance. He had a straight hooked nose on his majestic and handsome face, and his skin was slightly yellow. He was wearing a dark long coat with a faintly elegant pattern. He had a jewelry pin under his collar and an extremely gorgeous pistol at his waist. This was a bionic Homo sapiens appearance that was very suitable for Duke Gil himself. Even strangers who knew nothing about him would be immediately shocked by his cold majesty when they saw him. When his cold eyes were cast on Yin Ran, Yin Ran couldn't help but shudder.
"Not long ago, a boy unfortunately fell into the energy power plant that Luoya had just put into use and died on the spot." Duke Jill said calmly, "Do you have any thoughts on this?"
"Ah, that's unfortunate."
"Really?" Duke Gil pointed the scissors at another branch. "Listen carefully, I will only give you one chance."
“…”
"Did you hear that? My patience is limited." His voice was unusually calm and cold. With a snap, the branches and leaves fell, and the Winnie the Pomelos screamed miserably again.
Yin Ran almost couldn't help but want to turn around and run.
There was no doubt that the leader of the Xilin people had already known about her little affair. Yin Ran's heart was beating wildly. She could sense that if she said she didn't know, she would be sentenced to death and dismembered on the spot by this distinguished interstellar noble.
Yin Ran cleared his throat and tried to make his voice sound calm and steady, "Uh, I can explain."
"Very well, you admit that you want to frame me, the master of Loya's Nest, the Duke of the Xilin people, for a manslaughter case."
Sure enough, whether I admit it or not, I think he wants to bury me now. So, she struggled a little and said, "Actually, the boy is not dead."
Duke Gil stared at her with his ruthless eyes. "You are trying to frame a Xilin nobleman for a shameful crime. What do you think about this?"
Does the idea refer to choosing which way to die?
Yin Ran laughed dryly and said, "I am deeply sorry. Uh, Your Excellency the Duke, considering that this incident did not cause any real harm to anyone, I think there should be a more appropriate solution."
"When my subordinates found out that you were the one who framed me, I considered burying you in a fungus nutrient medium to decompose you. But after thinking about your past experience and reputation, I felt that there was indeed another way to resolve the issue."
Yin Ran nodded immediately, "It's great that you think so." She suddenly had a bad feeling.
Duke Gil put down the scissors and touched the table. A holographic screen appeared between Yin Ran and him, with hundreds of animals arranged on it and different numbers marked next to them.
Yin Ran blinked. This seemed to be the pet competition that Boss Han had mentioned to her the day before yesterday.
"This is a stupid pet competition." Duke Gil said, "My lizard Poker should have won the championship easily. But the problem is..."
"What's the question?" Yin Ran repeated.
"Both the Oversight Eye and the Security Committee have gotten involved. This makes the game more complicated."
"Uh, do you mean it's become a faction war now?"
"Originally, my technicians restricted the voting method on the platform to one vote per real-name mobile phone, with the original intention of preventing local indigenous people from cheating. But after the Eye of Supervision and the Security Committee got involved, they upgraded the voting system again."
"You mean it's going to get more troublesome?"
"In order to prevent the other party from using alien technology to control the local people's votes, both the Overwatch Eye and the Security Committee have included regulations prohibiting aliens from canvassing for votes from the local natives. In other words, at present, alien canvassing can only target aliens."
"That sounds very much in line with the Independent Civilization Ordinance."
"That's the problem." Duke Jill stared at the holographic screen. "After all, there are only a limited number of aliens on this planet. Now I need more votes. I can easily deal with the Xilin people and the races that the Xilin people trade with, but this is not enough. Next, the Eye of Supervision and the Security Committee will definitely frantically canvass votes for Laura's aliens."
Yin Ran fell silent; she had a bad feeling.
"I want 10,000 votes." Duke Jill stared at Yin Ran with sharp eyes, "Before the end of the game, you must steal 10,000 votes from the Eye of Supervision and the Security Committee."
“This is impossible!”
"You are an eight-legged spider. I have heard all the legends about you in the galaxy."
"Actually, Your Excellency the Duke," Yin Ran said sincerely, "I am now under the surveillance of the Security Committee and the Eye of Supervision. If I do anything to harm them, I will be..."
Duke Gil said bluntly: "If you are unwilling to accept the solution I offer you, I will report your actions to the Eye of Supervision and the Security Committee, and you will be expelled from Lola immediately. At the same time, you will also become enemies of the Xilin people in the entire galaxy. You know what this means . Get 10,000 votes, and I will pretend that nothing happened."
"but…… "
"Or you can go into the fungus nutrient medium now and wait for it to decompose."
"Okay! We have a deal!!"
…
In an instant, the scene before my eyes spread out like a ripple. The garden, the flowers, Duke Gil, and the birds disappeared.
Yin Ran looked around and returned to her residence. The glass of wine she had finished was still on the bar in front of her.
Xiao Rui shouted: "Master! You just disappeared!"
"I was teleported away by an arrogant Xilin noble." Yin Ran lay on the bar with hatred, "That big shot actually had the crazy idea of asking me to steal 10,000 votes from the Eye of Supervision and the Security Committee. How is this possible?"
"That sounds like a suicide ploy."
"Yes, the targets are still the Eye of Supervision and the Safety Committee! This is equivalent to asking them to put a nail in my coffin."
A buzzing sound was heard. A communication line came in.
The person who appeared on the screen was Cao Yu.
"Yin Ran." Cao Yu said.
"Hello, detective." Yin Ran looked up and said, "Excuse me, are you here for another routine inspection?"
Cao Yu on the screen had a serious expression on his face, "No. This time it's something else."
"What's the matter?" Yin Ran suddenly had a bad feeling.
"According to the atonement protection agreement you signed with the Safety Committee, you must provide services to the Safety Committee when the Safety Committee needs you."
“…”
"Now is the time for you to fulfill the rules. There is an online competition going on right now, and our canvassing is limited to aliens. The current vote increase is in urgent need of reinforcements."
“…”
"After research, it has been decided that you now need to obtain 10,000 votes for the Security Committee. Remember, the person you are voting for is the hamster Gilgamesh."
"Wait a minute."
"Ten thousand votes. The target is Laura's alien group. This is your mission." Cao Yu announced.
"How is this possible!" Yin Ran shouted, "This is equivalent to stealing votes from the Eye of Supervision. Do you think it's possible?"
"According to the atonement agreement you signed, this is an obligation you must fulfill." Cao Yu said, "Do you need me to take out your contract and show it to you?"
“But that’s too much to ask.”
"Yin Ran, you are the 'Eight-legged Spider'." Cao Yu said, "You are a famous legendary thief in the galaxy. I think you can do it."
"Do you think this is possible?"
"Or you can choose to be escorted to Sana by us now."
"Okay. I got it."
Cao Yu's face disappeared. Yin Ran threw the wine glass towards the place where he disappeared with hatred.
The glass broke into pieces on the ground.
"Master, I think the Security Committee is asking you to jump into the fire pit."
Yin Ran said bitterly: "There is more than one fire pit in front of me now."
As soon as she finished speaking, the communication channel was cut in again.
This time, an agent from the local office of the Overwatch appeared on screen. He said, "Hello, I'm Ma Jingshi."
"..." Yin Ran shouted, "Let me guess what you are here for. Is it the pet competition again, and you are in urgent need of tickets?"
Ma Jingshi nodded, and then he announced that according to the protection regulations, Yin Ran should fulfill his obligations and steal 10,000 votes for Mr. Cat of the Supervisory Eye.
