Weird Live Broadcast: I Can Deduce Endlessly - Chapter 188: Er Gou's Initial Trust (1)

“What do you say?”

The team members all looked towards Xi Wang.

This new tomboy, although always speaking arrogantly, indeed had the capital to be arrogant, because she always won whenever she made a bet with others.

“How about we make a bet? By tomorrow night at the latest, Er Gou will take the initiative to find Kanon.”

“Why?”

“It’s simple, do you know what’s the most expensive thing in the world?”

“Love?”

“Love my foot.” Xi Wang rolled her eyes, “The most expensive thing in the world is the stuff that’s free.”

As Xi Wang spoke, she took out a pen and paper, scribbling something on it.

Everyone gathered around to see what Xi Wang was writing.

She wrote down three words in total.

Time.

Location.

Transaction.

“Do you see anything?”

“Can you give us another hint?”

Xi Wang nodded, and drew two lines under the word “Transaction.”

The team fell into deep thought, with Old Zhai raising his hand first, having grasped Xi Wang’s hint.

“Captain, I understand what you mean now.”

“Let’s hear it.”

“Whether it’s Gu Yi, Dennis, or that sakura country girl, Er Gou always proposes to trade with them, and the location of the trade is always set in that alley of the dark street, time at ten o’clock at night. But that Sakura country girl gave him the ore for free, so it doesn’t count as a completed trade.

So, does Er Gou set the time and place for some kind of ceremony?”

“Or to follow some kind of rule.” Xi Wang smiled, “Moreover, this rule demands that the ore must be acquired through a trade, so it absolutely cannot come from freeloading. That’s why Er Gou is so anxious, even if he doesn’t say it tonight, he will definitely take the initiative to find Kanon tomorrow.”

“Can Kanon be that smart?”

“It might not be about being smart, but accidentally hitting the mark?” Xi Wang raised her eyebrows and said, “She probably also wants to lure Er Gou, just like she lured Tie Zhu. What do you think?”

…

At ten o’clock, Dennis arrived at the dark street as agreed, but he didn’t go straight to find the person. Instead, he hid in a corner, silently watching the agreed-upon place.

Indeed, Er Gou arrived on time.

Three minutes later, without Dennis showing up, Er Gou left directly.

Soon after, Dennis heard the sound of the footsteps of robots behind him. A group of robots wearing optical camouflage passed by him, scaring him so much that his heart almost skipped a beat.

“Damn, was it a trap?”

Dennis frowned.

He had felt that Er Gou’s behavior was very strange before. It was clearly possible to trade in the casino, so why insist on trading in the dark street?

Luckily, he had held back and hadn’t directly traded with Er Gou, otherwise he would definitely be in trouble today.

On the other side.

Gu Yi had successfully found Er Gou in the red-light district and, as predicted, went back to the casino with him for a chat. Gu Yi worried that someone would recognize their writing, so this time, instead of using Chinese characters, he used the interstellar language.

Swish swish—

Gu Yi started writing on the paper.

“There is now a large number of police robots ambushing around the dark street. If we complete the transaction there, we will definitely be discovered.”

Er Gou looked at Gu Yi.

This guy’s gaze looks sincere, not at all like he’s lying.

Er Gou pondered for a moment, continuously thinking about where exactly had he gone wrong.

He took the pen and paper and also wrote in interstellar language below.

“I understand, I’ll look into it. Thank you.”

Gu Yi nodded, took the piece of paper, and burned it in front of Er Gou.

“I’m leaving.”

“Wait.” Er Gou suddenly reached out to stop Gu Yi, “Where are you going?”

“Going back to sleep.”

“There’s a separate dormitory behind the casino, you can temporarily stay there for free.”

Gu Yi frowned slightly. In the predictions before, Er Gou had never made such a warm invitation.

Was it because I burned the paper without any further ado, thus he felt a good impression towards me?

This was a new development in the storyline, and Gu Yi dared not answer rashly, deciding to first use his talent.

Gu Yi closed his eyes.

(The deduction begins!)

(You gently break free from Er Gou.)

(You: Forget it, I don’t like owing favors.)

(Er Gou: This is me repaying you. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t know how much I would have suffered tonight. I’ve decided, you are my friend now.)

(You: Friend?)

(Er Gou: Do you think I’m not sincere enough? Alright then, I can tell you my real name. My name is Xu Dongdong.)

(You: My name is Gu Yi.)

(You instinctively reveal your real name.)

(Er Gou: You’re a big celebrity at school, why have you fallen to such lows?)

(You: That’s not important, is it?)

(Er Gou: Follow me, and I’ll bring you back to the top.)

(You: Then I’ll thank you in advance.)

(You shake hands with Er Gou.)

(You stay in the room provided by Er Gou, which is similar in layout and size to the rooms in the shelter.)

(You fall into a deep sleep.)

(Suddenly, you feel a chill all over your body.)

(You open your eyes and see a monster resembling an octopus on the ceiling, speaking to you in a hoarse voice.)

(Monster: Are you Gu Yi?)

(You: What do you want to do?)

(Monster: Hehe, I know all your secrets.)

(The monster’s tentacle falls and pierces through your eardrum.)

(Your head throbs with severe pain.)

(In a daze, you turn your head and see a dark figure standing at the door, their shadow connecting in a straight line with the monster’s.)

(The monster consumes your brain marrow and hands it over to the figure.)

(Everything goes dark before your eyes.)

(You are dead!)

(The deduction ends!)

Gu Yi opened his eyes, a drop of cold sweat dripping down his forehead.

If he wasn’t wrong, that monster must have been summoned by Er Gou or someone under Er Gou’s command. It was even capable of inflicting harm on him even within dreams.

His mental strength was over 100, but he still couldn’t combat it in the dream.

It seems that he could not accept Er Gou’s invitation.

Gu Yi hurriedly started the second round of deduction.

(The deduction begins!)

(You: Forget it, I don’t like owing favors.)

(Er Gou: This is me repaying you. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t know how much I would have suffered tonight. I’ve decided, you are my friend now.)

(You: Never mind, it’s really not necessary.)

(You leave the casino directly.)

(Just as you step out of the casino, a group of thugs block your way.)

(Er Gou walks up behind you.)

(Er Gou: It’s dark outside, and it doesn’t seem safe to spend the night out. I’m doing this to protect you. Trust me, we’re from the same school, I won’t harm you.)

(You: Alright then.)

(You nod, reluctantly agreeing to Er Gou.)

(You arrive at the dormitory.)

(You lie quietly in bed, staying awake, but by the late night, you finally fall asleep.)

(The next day, you quietly get up from bed.)

(You turn your head and find Er Gou standing at your room door like a statue.)

(Er Gou: Good morning.)

(You: Good morning.)

(You feel somewhat uneasy because you notice Er Gou looking at you with a suggestive gaze.)

(You instinctively touch your butt.)

(Er Gou: Are you going to work today?)

(You: Yes.)

(Er Gou: Come to my place every night from now on.)
