From BOSS to Canon Fodder: She is Currently Out of Service!
Chapter 308 - 153: That’s Right! I’m Setting You Up! (Part 2)
Gu Ningxuan indeed has no money, but that doesn’t mean the "Gu Ningxuan" who believes in the saying "a cunning rabbit has three burrows" is broke. His hacking skills are almost on par with Su Mo and Changxi’s. Creating a few accounts to store Credit Points is totally stress-free for him.
Of course, Gu Ningxuan can easily do this too, but his character is too stubborn. Since he was kicked out of the Gu Family, he never planned to rely on that money again. Also, Gu Qidong only froze his accounts initially, and with Gu Ningxuan’s own abilities, unfreezing them would be no problem, but he just hasn’t done it! In the eyes of the second persona, this kind of behavior is just self-inflicted.
After retrieving some Credit Points, a string of zeros immediately appeared in the smart account. The second persona went to the store and bought a bunch of candies with different flavors. The first stop was to check the mall for any new mechas, and the second stop was to hit the bar to flirt with some girls... Of course, don’t doubt his ethics; he’s just flirting, at most playful banter, never touching.
He also knows that if he dared to do more, the first persona, waiting inside, would definitely go crazy and drag him back no matter what. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
"Hmm, these mechas are really nothing, not as good as the blue mecha model..." He said, looking at the giant projected mechas, shaking his head with a hint of disdain as he assessed the data configurations.
The blue mecha model he mentioned was the "Ice and Snow Emperor" that Su Jiameng gave to K3. The second persona had been enamored with it for a long time, but unfortunately, the first persona was too domineering, and he couldn’t even go out to touch it.
Clearly, they are one person with the same memories, so why be so stubborn?
But to be honest, there indeed are some differences in their memories.
Because of the subtle connection and relationship between them, most things done by the second persona are unknown to the first persona. Of course, when the two completely merge, the first persona will "remember" those things.
Thinking about the incident at the Su Family some time ago, the second persona’s expression turned slightly subtle, seeming to struggle with something, then letting it go. He knew much more about the details of that day than Gu Ningxuan himself did, also understanding the hidden intricacies.
"Since it’s a rare day to enjoy some freedom, I won’t think about those annoying matters," the second persona muttered, holding a lollipop as he turned towards the bar, intending to relax and unwind in a different way. This bar had an adult theme, restricting minors from entering.
Because it wasn’t yet nighttime, there weren’t many people in the bar, so the second persona quickly found a spot that was both available and conveniently located, asked the bartender for a drink, and rested his chin on his hand, idly watching the bartender’s dazzling mixology skills with a lollipop in his mouth.
"Thanks." He politely thanked and took a small sip, finding the taste of the drink quite decent.
In contrast to the solemnity of the first persona, the second persona always bore a friendly yet slightly roguish smile, having a more profound effect on women.
Even though there weren’t many people around now, someone quickly took the bait. But unfortunately, the person wasn’t to the second persona’s liking... Despite having a great figure, should he mention that the opponent’s cheap perfume was unbearable?
He deftly avoided her advances, ignoring her overt and covert invitations.
The other party was well-versed in such environments, naturally noticing the second persona’s rejection, then gracefully smiling, blowing a kiss before leaving to find the next target.
The second persona glanced at the drink that had been tampered with and laughed as he asked the bartender for a new one. In a place teeming with all sorts of characters, being a bit cautious keeps one from ending up in a bad spot.
There was a stream of people trying to flirt, all dismissed by the second persona. But then... seeing the man in front of him with a somewhat inexplicable grin, the second persona awkwardly twitched his mouth. Why on earth did a gay guy come trying to hit on him?
Luckily, Du Chenshuang didn’t know he was being mistaken for being gay; otherwise, he’d surely blow up in anger! He’s such a manly man, how could he be mistaken for gay? Says who that just because a man hits on another man, he’s gay? That’s ridiculous logic!
"Do you need something?" The second persona didn’t recognize Du Chenshuang, assuming he was there to flirt, his eyes clearly conveying a desire for him to leave.
"Actually, I do have something to ask Mr. Gu," Du Chenshuang hesitated for a while but finally decided to confront Gu Ningxuan, "Do you remember what happened at Nocturnal Song City? That fight was truly spectacular."
The second persona searched his mind and was well aware of the incident, also knowing the serious and rigid first persona had taken some trouble for someone because of it. With thoughts swirling, the second persona had a consideration... Mentioning that event, the person in front of him was probably here to investigate.
"Naturally, I remember. But who exactly are you, and why are you asking about it?" The second persona smirked disdainfully, revealing a teasing smile, "You’re not an Alliance officer; what right do you have to demand an answer from me? Even if you were, there ought to be credentials and a warrant! If I don’t want to respond, I don’t have to..."
Du Chenshuang’s expression froze slightly, then he said, "I just want to know the situation back then; it’s related to a certain case."
"I don’t want to cooperate," the second persona replied swiftly and cleanly. "I have the right to remain silent about everything that happened that day. If you’re aware of that day’s events, you should know I lost my job because of it, right? Opening someone’s wounds isn’t a good habit."
Du Chenshuang continued, "This matter is significant. If I really go to apply for an interrogation warrant, it won’t look good for you then."
Gu Ningxuan is a Gu Family member expelled from the family; if he ends up getting interrogated, it would certainly be entertaining to watch. (To be continued.
