Chapter 62: Ben's Past
Boarding Ben's private jet, the airport was scheduled to depart an hour later with the destination being Syria.
That's right, the same country that has been fighting for eight years and has not stopped and has given birth to the most notorious terrorist organization in the world.
"Where is the headquarters of the Elite Society?" Tang Zhen frowned after hearing Ben talk about the destination.
Ben shook his head: "No, the elite will not have a clear headquarters, at least I don't know, the only thing I know is the stronghold in Syria, you don't have to worry about you and Ms. Yuan, my forces are all in Syria, and no one dares to touch us." β
Yuan also heard the news that the place she went to was Syria, and the news about war and terrorist groups can refresh people's perception almost every year, especially after the beheading incident, that place has become synonymous with hell on earth.
Although Ben had Ben's guarantee, Tang Zhen was still not at ease, and decided to find an opportunity to give Yuan Aiyu the nano armor to wear, but he couldn't let Ben find out.
This is a secret that belongs to Tang Zhen, and before Ben dies, any secret leak may become a hidden danger for Tang Zhen in the future.
There were rooms on the plane, but there was only one, and Ben graciously let it out and went to monitor the flight himself.
Tang Zhen naturally wouldn't sleep with Yuan Aiyu, so he decided to sleep on the sofa outside and let Yuan Aiyu sleep in the bed.
But before going to bed, there are some things that have to be explained to Yuan Aiyu in advance.
The two sat on the sofa, Yuan Aiyu looked at Tang Zhen quietly, even if she didn't take the initiative to ask, Tang Zhen should tell her something, instead of keeping her in the dark.
"Do you remember what you said, 'I want to bloom like a flame?'" Tang Zhen and Yuan Aiyu always kept a distance, but when they watched her speak, the thought of getting closer rose in their hearts.
But he just thought about it and didn't put it into action.
Yuan Aiyu let out an "um" and motioned for Tang Zhen to continue.
"So I was thinking, how can I do it. Tang Zhen suddenly stood up and looked up, there was a camera in the cabin, connected to the screen of the captain's room, in other words, instinctively saw and heard their conversation.
Although Tang Zhen didn't think that Ben had the courage, just in case, it was not suitable to tell his secret here.
"Let's go inside and talk. Tang Zhen pointed to the room with his chin.
Yuan Aiyu's eyes looked at the situation, she did not refuse, but hesitated on the sofa for a few seconds, then stood up and walked into the room without saying a word.
On the other side, Ben silently turned off the monitoring monitor, he was indeed eavesdropping, but not intentionally, it just kept it on, so he listened to it naturally.
I thought I could hear some little secrets, or see explicit pictures, but I was disappointed after all.
There was no monitoring in the room, Tang Zhen checked it with the induction space, and there was no recording equipment, as long as the voice was not particularly loud, I believe that no one else would be able to hear their conversation.
"Actually......" Tang Zhen hesitated, mainly because he didn't know what kind of way to say it was appropriate and appropriate, and it wouldn't seem abrupt.
But when I think about it, what he wants to say is already very bizarre, and even if he doesn't show any evidence, it will make people think that it is his imagination or a lie.
Moreover, Tang Zhen had to ask for the consent of the system before, after all, in their relationship, Tang Zhen and the system were not a master-servant relationship, but Tang Zhen was unilaterally used, and the initiative was definitely in the hands of the system.
"Can I say that?" Tang Zhen asked the system silently.
The system said: "It's up to you, but you have to bear any consequences that arise, and I won't help you." β
"Good. With the approval of the system, Tang Zhen finally dared to say with confidence, "I own the system." β
"Yes, system?" Yuan Aiyu looked at Tang Zhen with disbelief, and she looked at Tang Zhen as if to say, "Is this person sick?"
"I know it's hard to believe, but I can prove it. Tang Zhen stretched out his hands and signaled Yuan Aiyu not to be in a hurry, and at the same time communicated with the system in his heart: "Can you help me talk to her?"
The system did not respond to Tang Zhen's request, but said directly: "I am the system." β
Not only Tang Zhen heard this, but even Yuan Aiyu, who was standing outside Tang Zhen's two positions, reacted.
"Are you kidding me?" the disbelief on Yuan Aiyu's face turned to disgust, because she felt that this was all Tang Zhen's trick, "If so, please stop." Because I don't like jokes like that. "It's not. Tang Zhen wants to scold the death system, is there such an explanation? But it seems that he said "say a word", but now is not the time to hold anyone responsible, he hurriedly said: "I am definitely not joking with you, believe me, you listen to my explanation." β
"A little over a month ago, I got a system by chance. As soon as Tang Zhen explained the first sentence, he felt that he couldn't listen to it, he was not an expert storyteller, so it was better to show evidence in a real way.
"Forget it, I'll prove it to you. The palm of his left hand stretched out, and he took out the energy weapon from the system space.
Seeing Tang Zhen take out something with a strange appearance as if he was playing a trick, Yuan Aiyu frowned and said, "If you want to show me magic, you don't need to go through so much trouble at all, you just can't change it, are you still worried about scaring me?"
"I ......" Tang Zhen wondered, why couldn't he explain it clearly?
And just when Tang Zhen wanted to explain in another way, the plane suddenly shook, and Yuan Aiyu stumbled, and his body leaned forward suddenly.
Tang Zhen quickly hugged her, straightened her body, and said, "I'll go see what's going on." β
After speaking, he left Yuan Aiyu in the room and went out alone.
Yuan Aiyu, who was standing in place, opened her mouth slightly, she saw and felt that the whole process of Tang Zhen picking her up took less than a second, she was just showing a trend of falling, and the next second she was already standing upright, her body was not even satisfied, and she subconsciously thought that she was falling, resulting in dizziness.
Incredible.
Yuan Aiyu gradually began to believe Tang Zhen's previous words in her heart, maybe what he said was true, but Yuan Aiyu didn't want to believe it, because it was too bizarre and unrealistic. And Yuan Aiyu didn't understand what a system was, she only thought that Tang Zhen was talking about a computer system, artificial intelligence or something, that is, in her concept, the system's sentence "I am a system" made her mistakenly think that Tang Zhen wanted to say that she was a robot, like Skynet.
"It's okay, it's just a turbulence. Tang Zhen opened the door as he spoke, and when he looked at Yuan Aiyu's face again, he found that her expression had changed differently.
"Are you really a system?" Yuan Aiyu's soft eyes were filled with curiosity.
"I'm not the system, it's the system that I have. Tang Zhen subconsciously explained, and immediately reacted again, "Do you believe me?"
Yuan Aiyu shook her head and said, "I don't fully believe it, but I want to hear your explanation, this time, I promise I will listen carefully." β
"Good. Tang Zhen was relieved, it was difficult for him to make Yuan Aiyu believe in him, but somehow, Yuan Aiyu actually took the initiative to choose to believe him, which gave Tang Zhen confidence.
"Actually, the system is very simple, just follow its prompts to complete different tasks, and then I will get all kinds of rewards. β
Yuan Aiyu wondered: "Mission? Is it like playing a game?"
"Hmm......" After a short thought, Tang Zhen replied in the affirmative: "Yes, it's like playing a game, what game have you played?"
Yuan Aiyu said: "Mobile games." It's just the kind of people fighting together. β
"Mobile Game...... Do you have a mission?" Tang Zhen doesn't know much about mobile games.
"Yes. Yuan Aiyu said as a matter of course: "Isn't it just to kill a few enemies and then save gold coins to buy equipment?" β
"Okay. Tang Zhen was a little embarrassed, their understanding of "game" was a little different, but this did not prevent him from explaining: "There will be an attribute panel in the mobile game, which is your attack power or something." β
"Yes. β
"I can see everyone's attributes. Tang Zhen pointed to the position next to Yuan Aiyu's body.
Yuan Aiyu looked at the point of his finger and stretched out a finger, and pointed, "Here?"
"That's right. Tang Zhen nodded, then began to move his fingers and read out every piece of data on Yuan Aiyu's attribute panel.
When he was reading the data, Yuan Aiyu's eyes were always comparing Tang Zhen's fingers with the area around her, as if she could also see it, and pieces of data appeared in her "eyes".
"That fortune and yin virtue...... What does that mean, and why do I know what I want to know? Yuan Aiyu's face flushed when she heard Tang Zhen read out what she longed for, because if she was reading it when she was about to go to the toilet, wouldn't it be ......
"Fortune is ...... There is good fortune, and the higher the fortune index, the better the life. Yin virtue is what we often call the yin virtue of accumulating yin virtue, you have done good deeds, or saved people will accumulate yin virtue, yin virtue to you I have not found out for the time being. As for knowing what you want to know, I don't know. Tang Zhen answered all Yuan Aiyu's doubts in one go.
"Then is my thirty-four fortune a lot?" Yuan Aiyu said curiously.
Tang Zhen smiled: "Of course." β
There is one thing he didn't tell Yuan Aiyu, that is, when he first met Yuan Aiyu, she was only "9" lucky, not blessed at all, just ordinary.
But the closer the two are, the higher the fortune index will be, indicating that Tang Zhen's own fortune will have an impact on the people around him.
"Oh. Yuan Aiyu seemed very happy, so she asked casually: "What about you, how much fortune do you have?"
"I'll take a look. Tang Zhen glanced at his attribute panel.
γTang Zhenγ
Influence: 4800000

Fuyuan: 888
Yinde: 211
β¦β¦
In order not to hurt Yuan Aiyu's self-esteem, Tang Zhen decided to hide the facts, "A little higher than you." β
"Oh~" Yuan Aiyu's expression questioned.
"Really. I see you're hungry too, do you want to eat?" Tang Zhen changed the subject.
Yuan Aiyu nodded subconsciously, but immediately shook her head and said, "If you don't eat, I won't eat." Eating at night will make you fat. β
"Yes. Tang Zhen didn't dare to agree, "Then you go to bed early, I'll go eat something." β
β¦β¦
Yuan Aiyu's face was full of black lines, "By the way, have you been staring at my attribute panel?"
Tang Zhen was about to go out, but when he heard Yuan Aiyu's words, he stopped, turned around and said, "No, I don't usually go to see it." β
"Oh, then you go. Yuan Aiyu ordered him to be expelled.
Coming out of Yuan Aiyu's room, Tang Zhen went directly to the captain's room, because he didn't know where to eat, so he could only ask Ben.
Pulling back the curtain separating the cabin from the captain's cabin, he finds Ben chatting with the pilot inside.
They stopped communicating when they noticed Tang Zhen's appearance, Ben turned to look at Tang Zhen and said, "Do you need me to do anything?"
"Hmm. Tang Zhen nodded, "Is there anything to eat on the plane?"
Ben looked at the pilot and asked him in English.
The pilot replied: "Yes, it's all in the cold storage, and it needs to be heated." β
"I'll go. Ben unbuckled his seat belt, got up and left his seat, and reminded him when he passed by Tang Zhen, "Follow me." β
Tang Zhen glanced at the pilot before leaving, his attributes were very average, and his yin virtue was "0", which meant that he was not a person from Ben's way, but just an ordinary pilot.
Following Ben, watching him expertly put the ingredients from the refrigerated storage into the oven, he asked, "You fly a lot?"
"It's okay, I drive more myself. Helicopters, fighter jets, I can fly them. "Ben concentrates on setting the temperature and time of the oven.
"Then you're amazing. Tang Zhen said from the bottom of his heart.
Ben turned around and said with a smile: "It's all the ability to eat, and it's not great." If I don't learn them, I may die in the ruins of war, and I may watch my loved ones die without being able to take revenge. β
"Are you an orphan of war?" Tang Zhen said in surprise.
"I'm not a nun. Ben shook his head in denial.
Tang Zhen explained: "I mean orphans, that is, orphans, are you orphans in the war?"
"Oh. "Yes, my parents died in the war, and I grew up in the war. β
"Aren't you an American?" Tang Zhen remembered that Elder Xu's introduction to Ben at that time was an American.
Ben said: "I was born in the Vietnam War, my parents died in an encounter before they could bring me back to the United States, and I survived and was taken in by the local government, they probably wanted to train me to be a spy, but I didn't do what they wanted, after a betrayal, I escaped from their control and fled to Afghanistan, forming my private mercenary organization." β
Not to mention that Tang Zhen didn't know that Ben still had such a miserable life experience, and at the same time, he also regretted it a little, because the more he understood Ben, the stronger the guilt he would become. That's why he tried not to communicate with Ben along the way.
"Have you ever thought about another life? if your parents hadn't died. β
Ben smiled wryly: "I have fantasies, but I know very well that time will not go back to the past, so I can only enjoy my current life and try to wash away my past sins in the days to come." β
"I have too much blood on my hands, which cannot be washed clean, and it has long been imprinted in my soul, so I want to believe in Buddhism, because it is said that Buddhas can wash away people's sins. I hope that one day I will take refuge in Buddhism, and then I will donate all my assets and disappear forever. β
This day will come soon, and Ben chose to start acting after taking Tang Zhen into the elite meeting.
Tang Zhen felt strange and uncomfortable when he heard his words, if he was a pure demon, it would be okay, killing him would make Tang Zhen feel at ease, but he was not, he had remorse, and he was completely forced, his life experience and experience forced him to become what he is now, but it was futile to say anything, the task of the system was there, and he couldn't disobey.
"I hope that day. Tang Zhen reluctantly smiled, "Okay, I'm hungry." β
"Wait a minute. I didn't think much about it, because he felt that Tang Zhen was a gentleman, since he promised not to kill him, he would definitely not kill, there is a saying that "a gentleman's word, a horse is difficult to chase", he is willing to believe in Tang Zhen's character.
