Chapter 995: Chapter 898: Positive Energy Law Enforcers_2

All these people were dead.

Professional habits always kept them close to death, and they had even mentioned some of these people’s names on their show.

The production of this deck of poker cards was terrifying when they thought about the possibility that Song Lan was the "enthusiastic citizen," and William couldn’t help but get a chilling thought.

The "enthusiastic citizen" would commemorate those executed by him with poker cards.

And what they used in the match was actually a death list!

"Don’t forget to send me an invitation to the next game, I’m always ready for a match."

The young man folded his arms, enjoying the champion’s courtesy, and then he looked at Song Lan, "But what about you? You obviously held back, didn’t you?"

Song Lan’s way of throwing the game was very subtle but he still caught on.

"I’m not concerned with winning or losing. What’s important is that all participants enjoy the fun of card and board games."

"There’s no pleasure in an unearned victory. I hope you’ll bring your real skills to the next match."

The eye contact between the two men seemed to send thunder rumbling through the room, and the staff of "Dead Man’s Lottery" and the kidnapped girl were a bit dumbfounded for a moment.

It was supposed to be a friendly match for a niche card game, so why did it suddenly feel like a world-class final?

"From now on, we are card buddies."

The young man solemnly extended his right hand to Song Lan.

Poker cards could bring people closer, and each time they welcomed someone new, they would hold a card party after the cocktail party to let the newcomer fully enjoy the friendship within the Rebel Army.

In that card game just now, he truly felt Song Lan’s burning heart.

"So, I intend to tell you a secret."

"It’s okay, I’ve known for a while,"

Song Lan patted the young man’s shoulder.

The young man froze—his disguise was supposed to be flawless, how did he spot the flaw?

Then Song Lan changed his tone, comforting him, "It’s 2167, human sexuality is a matter of freedom. Even if you suddenly awaken a preference for men, we won’t look at you with tinted glasses."

He had overheard the conversation between the young man and the girl during the rescue operation, and he had to admit that it had stunned him just as much as the casino manager.

"...You clearly misunderstood,"

The young man’s mouth twitched, "My name is Rosali. This is a name known only among card buddies."

Upon hearing that name, Song Lan’s pupils suddenly contracted.

The mere three words seemed to bring him an immense shock.

But the young man understood the reaction.

There are no impermeable walls in this world, and with card buddies spread across the "outside" world, it wasn’t surprising that someone had let slip.

"Rosali, that’s a girl’s name. You, you are—"

The young man didn’t speak, responding to Song Lan’s surprise with a calm gaze.

Until, Song Lan uttered the next words like rapid gunfire, "You were born male, but identify as female, and that’s okay. I’ve heard that in the core urban districts, there are many like you, and they gather to celebrate festivals and hold activities."

"Smack—!"

The sound came from a palm slapped against a forehead, and Rosali’s vision went black, having to cover her eyes to express her emotions.

She had regarded Song Lan as someone broad-minded and resourceful, but now it seemed that his knowledge was far wider than she had imagined.

Born male, but identifies as female...

The United Government actually had a group of such people, and she had never heard of anything like this before!

Rosali suppressed her surprise and looked towards William and others who shared Song Lan’s perspective; they gestured to Rosali to show their support for minority groups.

This was a stance that they, as the show’s crew, could not undermine.

They could boldly joke about the death count of the United Government, but they absolutely couldn’t oppose in public the kind of people mentioned by Song Lan; their show might get canceled the next day otherwise.

William saw the young man from District Seventeen, who called himself Rosali, lift his right hand towards him and snap his fingers.

The world spun, and he felt light as a feather.

The odd sensation lasted for about ten seconds, and then, horror filled his eyes.

William saw "himself."

Standing less than a meter away, looking back at him with the same shock.

"You—"

The two pointed at each other simultaneously.

"Don’t be nervous, this is my ability, just an example, I’ll swap you back right away."

Rosali felt that revealing her real name and demonstrating her abilities to these people was like making a high-stakes bet, which made her heart race.

This was tantamount to exposing her vulnerabilities to the adversary; if Song Lan and Old Void wanted to harm her, she would find herself in a very dangerous situation.

But some say that sincerity is a killer move.

Perhaps revealing her true identity to the two of them could save her a lot of trouble.

They also seemed to be very powerful psychics, and acting together would be a good decision when their interests aligned.

Rosali chose to trust her intuition and the friendship she had forged at the very first poker table.

These had brought her a lot of good fortune in the past.

"Dominate the soul."

Old Void noticed the subtle cues immediately.

"Hmm, if you’re from District Seventeen..."

Rosali was non-committal, taking out her phone and flipping to a wanted poster.

A black and white background, the portrait had a large "?" on it.

"8, 8, 890 million volts!"

William’s tongue twisted in shock.

Leader of the Rebel Army, "Hades."

He had seen this bizarre wanted poster countless times but never imagined he would actually encounter the person face-to-face, and to have played a pleasant game of cards with them!

Rosali had just demonstrated through her actions why the United Government had always been unable to confirm her appearance.

What was the concept of a Rebel Army leader?

They were certified by the Review Meeting as one of the most dangerous wanted criminals in the world, and each rebel faction was powerful enough to overthrow a nation’s regime, with their leaders only being manageable by Six Stars rescuers.

But on second thought...

William felt he must record this memorable day.

Friend, how did you know that I played cards with Rebel Army leader "Hades"?

This was definitely a legendary life experience!

"Good, very good, excellent!"

Old Void, always presenting himself as a gruff figure, now had a gleam in his eyes as he pushed aside Song Lan and stood in front of Rosali, excitedly placing his hands on her shoulders.

Leader of the Rebel Army, a bounty of 890 million volts—that was the "SSR" level precious resource he spoke of!

What was Vadim but a worthless fish, truly unfamiliar!

Knowing Song Lan’s personal charm, he must act before the other, "Rosali, I think you have a lot of potential."

"Mm."

"Dominating the soul is a type of interference psychic ability."

To seem more down-to-earth, "Nothingness" even put aside his pride and adopted the incorrect term from the "lower realm," showing how much he valued Rosali, "I’ve done extensive research on interference psychic abilities. What do you say? Are you interested in studying under me?"

This was an effort he felt obliged to make during the slow cricket-growing season.

Since Song Lan burned down their house, talent from the "lower realm" had been scarce, and it had been some time since he had come across an "SSR" level precious resource.

"Study under you?"

Rosali didn’t quite catch on.

When people heard the name "Hades," they typically reacted with horror; yet this middle-aged man was the first to rush towards her excitedly and offer to take her as his disciple.

"Who are you?"

"I’m Old Void,"

"Nothingness" said, "Don’t worry, choosing me as your mentor, you definitely can’t go wrong."

"Sorry, if I had to choose a mentor, I’d probably pick him."

Rosali pointed to Song Lan, who had stepped aside.

"Nothingness" asked, "Why!"

"Because you’re too overexcited; you seem like a scam artist who’s new to the game."

She said earnestly, "He, on the other hand, comes across as a veteran con man with years of experience."
