Ivey is worthy of respect. At least he deserves the respect of the old pharmacy man.
Maybe the old man in the pharmacy will never understand why Ivy, an ordinary person without any profession, can break through the shackles of truth serum, overcome the power of the medicine with a sad and generous consciousness, and successfully lie while the medicine is in effect.
I remembered it, I remembered it all.
Looking at his sister with an angry face and raised fists in front of him, Ivey's face turned very pale. Everyone else thought he was scared because of his violent remarks. In fact, only Ivy knew that he was feeling lucky.
I'm glad I didn't really say what was on my mind.
Thinking of the weird object that the crazy old man had hit him, Ivy, who had awakened his memory, pinched his fingers with his nails, letting the pain stimulate the nerves, reminding himself now not to think about any answers to the truth in his heart, and to make nonsense. , be sure not to tell the truth.
"Avi..."
The blond girl clenched her pink fists, her pretty face full of anger. She looked at her brother and said word by word: "Are you a little..."
The words stopped on his lips, and Ain suddenly thought of what Aiwei had said just now, and his white cheeks were suddenly stained with a light blush. As if aware that she was a little out of sorts at this time, she adjusted her expression, forced herself to look calm and composed, and said:
"Is what you just said true?"
"Correct, objective, reasonable, pertinent, clear, true, dialectical, rational, prudent, profound, accessible, graceful, ingenious, incisive, elegant, witty, comprehensive clear, clear, unbiased, appropriate, watertight, unquestionable, to the point, to the point, vivid, knowledgeable, insightful, enlightening, subtle words, golden voice. It is one that sees the essence through phenomena, one that knows what it is and why it is, one that can be imitated by the world, one that is indestructible through the ages.”
Looking at Aiwei, who was talking word by word in front of him and using all his life's knowledge to deal with him, Ain seemed to notice something. She narrowed her eyes and tugged on her black and white maid outfit, and an imperceptible evil smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"You're in a bit of a strange state today."
Everyone eating melons on the side suddenly shuddered. On weekdays, Ain always had a limited iceberg face and mercilessly complained about Ivy. But at this time, Ain had a curious look on his face, and with just the right amount of coquettishness, he asked Ivey, who was stiff, "Can you...can't lie?"
broken.
Aiwei suddenly felt a chill in his heart. In the Aier Chamber of Commerce, he was usually responsible for socializing with people, Ayin was responsible for the operation of the chamber of commerce, and Ai Lei was responsible for the chores. On the surface, Ivey is more knowledgeable about human nature and good at guessing people's hearts. But in fact, it was indeed like this. Ain was really not suitable for socializing, and she was too lazy to guess other people's thoughts.
But Aiwei is different. The accumulated interactions over the past few years have made Ain understand his brother very well. Although Ivey seems to be very out of place on weekdays, he is either competing with Zhou Li on bad chess games every day or integrating into the entertainment of Kaya's age group. But after all, Ivey is the face of the Al Chamber of Commerce. He always speaks over and over again in his heart, and only speaks a word after careful consideration in order to be watertight. But just now, he almost didn't have any control over his mouth, which was very wrong for him.
If Ivey hadn't disrupted Ain's rhythm with a fast attack at the beginning, Ain would have noticed Ivey's strange behavior. At this time, Ain came close to Ivy, and the unique orchid fragrance lingered around Ivey. He pinched his nails hard, kept calm, rehearsed the next words in his heart, and then said slowly:
"Yeah, I can't lie."
Looking at the panicked Aiwei in front of him, Ain's narrowed eyes flashed with a cunning look. She stretched out her hand and straightened Ivy's hair that was stuck to her forehead due to sweat. With imperceptible expectations and a touch of tenderness, she asked Ivy softly: "Are you happy now?"
well?
Ivy, who was already prepared to be asked about a lot of dirty information and unpleasant past events by his sinister sister, was stunned for a moment, and the draft he had made in his mind suddenly disappeared. With the blessing of the potion, he answered from the bottom of his heart:
"very happy."
"That's good."
Ain raised his eyes, slightly arched the bridge of his nose, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said to Aiwei with an unprecedented high-spirited spirit: "I'm still pretty good. My parents asked me to take care of you, right? Very visionary.”
"So, can I ask you not to ask Miss Eluma to cook a dish of garlic worms every two days? I really don't like eating it and everyone else doesn't, so you insist on me eating it."
Looking at Aiwei who quickly said something that seemed to be a complaint but was actually an accusation, Ain sighed softly. While regretting that his brother was out of tune, he reached out his hand, pinched his ear and said helplessly: "You don't know what's going on with your body." Do you know? If you hadn’t had to imitate a bird and break your tailbone by flying in the sky, would you have to replenish gelatin for the sequelae of falling? "
"Okay, my question."
Aiwei waited for a while after answering a sentence. When he found that Ain had nothing to say, he looked at Ain hesitantly and asked in a doubtful tone: "You don't want to ask me anything else?"
"Why ask?"
Ain touched the head of Kaya, who had bright eyes on the side, and replied calmly: "Prying into other people's privacy is not a good behavior."
"But I am your brother."
"So what?"
Ain raised her eyebrows. She looked sideways at the table of food in front of her and replied matter-of-factly: "Your privacy is also privacy. To act recklessly based on your love for me is not something I would do."
"Aren't you curious?"
Now Ivey has completely given up struggling. He can't speak beyond his head and says whatever comes to his mind. Today, Ain was surprisingly tolerant. She pursed her lips and thought for a moment, nodded, and then said with relief:
"Of course I'm curious. But..."
She stretched out her fingers and gently tapped Ivy's chest. Her eyes under the red thin-rimmed glasses were full of tenderness and expectation. She looked at Ivy and said softly: "I still want to wait until you want to say something and say it to me yourself."
what is this? Dog food?
Everyone on the side looked at each other in confusion. Most of the people here were adults with normal emotional intelligence. They are already used to this kind of sworn sister plot. After all, although Ain never shows mercy to Ivy every day, if she really hated Ivey, she would not take care of him and ask Eluma for help. Ivy makes some food. Now, the two people seem to have communicated with each other in Ivey's strange state. Although they have not completely resolved the matter, they have definitely developed further.
Is there anything we should do?
Lin Ling and Lin Zi looked at each other, and then at Ling Hai who was at a loss. They looked at the exquisite food on the plate and began to lower their heads to eat together. Torea and Don Quixote had already finished their meal at the speed of an army, and could only sit there blankly, looking at the strange atmosphere in front of the Al brother and sister.
"fine."
After a while, Ivy sighed. With a slightly relaxed look on his face, he said with emotion: "I was afraid that if you continued to ask, I would not be able to hold back and tell you about the incident when I accidentally used your sword to roast sweet potatoes when I was sixteen, and the result was cracks. Fortunately, I React quickly and say it's an ice crack, otherwise..."
Ivey suddenly fell silent. Looking at Ain whose blood pressure was gradually rising in front of him, he smiled miserably and waited for death.
I shouldn't have opened that car door.
"Ivy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
*********************
"Then this thing is really useful."
After Ain took Aiwei back to the room to resolve some personal issues, Eluma took Zhou Li's sleeve and returned to the dining table together. Driven by curiosity, the two of them listened to what had just happened word for word. After hearing this tortuous and humorous coincidence, Zhou Li scratched his head, raised his eyebrows, took out a bottle of green potion, and said with emotion:
"Even elites in interpersonal relationships like Ivey can't resist. This thing is really useful."
"Oh yo?"
After seeing the potion in Zhou Li's hand, the ice-snow and smart Lin Zi immediately understood the connection. She jumped out of the chair excitedly, trotted to Zhou Li's side, and asked excitedly: "Is this why Aiwei was so eloquent?"
"Veritaserum, high-end stuff."
Zhou Li shook the bottle in his hand and said mysteriously: "I got it from an expert from a lifetime ago. It is extremely rare, but the effect is excellent."
"Oh~~"
Lin Zi took the bottle containing the medicine and looked at the liquid inside maliciously. She returned the glass bottle to Zhou Li and asked with the same smile as Zhou Li: "Can this thing be produced?"
"I asked, but I couldn't."
Zhou Li and Lin Zi had expressions of pity on their faces at the same time. He shook the glass bottle and said with emotion: "If this thing is energy-producing, I will fill Magnum III with a bottle and ask him how he felt when he took in one hundred and ninety-three women."
"It can't be sour."
Eluma on the side raised her little ears alertly, stretched out her hand to pinch Zhou Li's earlobe, and said softly: "That's feudal dross, we can't learn from it."
"Don't worry, I only look at this kind of feudal dross with a critical eye."
Zhou Li waved his hand, straightened his back, and said without exception: "For things like political marriage, we have to take the dross and discard the essence. He, Magnum III, has been an old scalper all his life and he doesn't have many children in the end. , this is the result of his lack of restraint."
"So you want moderation?"
Eluma looked at Zhou Li with moist eyes and asked curiously. The black mist hanging around her suddenly cheered up and fell quietly to the side.
"How can we call home before the devil is destroyed?"
Zhou Li shook his head and said with compassion: "Before mankind realizes peace and unity, my personal happiness is so small. How to talk about moderation? Drinking and sex are bone-corrosive, and I never drink!"
"Oh~"
Eluma, who was fooled by Zhou Li's few words, nodded blankly, completely unaware of Heiwu's expression of hatred for steel. Of course she couldn't notice it, Black Mist had no face at all.
"By the way, Zhou Li."
AhZi returned to her seat and finished the vegetables in her bowl bitterly. Then she suddenly raised her head and asked Zhou Li curiously, "Who is the next target?"
"Ah? What's the goal?"
Even Zhou Li was stunned by Ah Zi's lackluster sentence. Ah Zi frowned and recalled, "Didn't you say you were going to turn some lie into reality? Who do you want to trick this time?"
"Ah, this."
Zhou Li nodded in realization. He picked up the black tea in front of him, took a sip, and then said to everyone: "I almost forgot to tell you about this."
"Mosk underground black market, I want it."
"we know."
This sentence did not cause any waves among the crowd at all. Except for Lin Ling, everyone else was more or less accustomed to Zhou Li's habit of uttering wild words. Even if he is not from Mosk, not even from Tariq, or even human, no one will be surprised that he wants to control Tarik's underground lifeline.
"Okay, no more nonsense."
Looking at the people in front of him who had become calm after several years of baptism, Zhou Li was unusually depressed. He leaned back in his chair and said directly: "I want to drive away the wolf and swallow the tiger, and let Tariq officials, Yin Jue and the underground black market fight among themselves, and I will reap the benefits."
"Do you have any concrete plans?"
Lin Zi poked the rice grains with chopsticks and asked Zhou Li: "Have you thought about the pioneer tiger that wolfed it down?"
"There are four forces before us now."
When talking about serious matters, Zhou Li became very reliable and serious. He stretched out his hand, and the purple color of the natural disaster appeared in front of him like a panel. What appeared on the panel were the Tariq government emblem, the Silver Medal of the Commercial Church, the symbol of the underground black market, and a tarot card.
"The Tariq government, the Silver Lord, the underground black market, and the Pinkerton Detective Agency."
Clicking on the panel, the Tariq government and Yin Jue were separated. Zhou Li added a two-way arrow between the two, "The current situation is that the Tariq government and Yin Jue are not in a complete cooperative relationship, nor are they complete. opponent."
After putting a mark on the underground black market, Zhou Li continued: "The government and Yinjue jointly created the underground black market, but because of their own independence. Tariq and Yinjue restrained each other and did not want each other to be in the underground black market. One family dominates the whole family. A delicate balance is formed between them, and the fulcrum of the balance is the uncrowned king of the underground black market—Zimu."
"In the black market, neither the government nor the Silver Lord are strong enough to completely repel the other party and take control of the city. They also want the black market to develop steadily within the rules, so they tacitly refrain from using regular troops to let them control the city. The lapse is developing in an uncontrollable direction. With the help of Zimu, the uncrowned king with dual identities, the current black market is a delicate balance, with both parties seeking their own interests and maintaining this balance."
"but now…"
Putting the mysterious tarot card at the front, Zhou Li narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully:
"I don't like this balance."
