The Abyssal Garden: No Room for the Idle-Chapter 191 - 162: We Must Make Them Fight Each Other

"Next, please enjoy the solo performance."

The melodies of the Mixed Fish Piano slowly reached everyone within Stars Hall, echoing throughout the vast space. Countless people pricked up their ears to listen; although An Xinghe lacked the temperamental nature of Young Master Ash.

But as a Young Master's belonging, they all had to cooperate, no matter what.

Now was its time for a solo performance, and a strange aura surged on the high platform.

An Xinghe watched with satisfaction, pleased with the performance. He had also collected quite a few scores for it, many of which had significant artistic value. However, personally, he felt that the more appealing piece was still the previous version of DJ's "Two Tigers love to Dance."

At this moment,

the solo of the Mixed Fish Piano continued its course.

Nancy, from within the shadows, silently observed Su Qi.

He let out a slight sigh.

Nancy had already heard the backstage crew asking him through the headset if this was his special arrangement.

Special arrangement my ass.

Still, Nancy responded to them, then muted his headset.

"I can only say... you shouldn't have come up here."

Nancy shook his head gently before speaking slowly, "Leave after the intermission ends..."

"Whatever you're planning to do, you shouldn't continue to participate..."

His tone was solemn and serious, lacking the usual trace of jest.

"Are you done, classmate Nancy?"

Su Qi didn't look at him, instead gazing towards the distant audience, "If you're done, then listen to what I have to say."

He spoke with a mysterious tone, "Actually, I can tell fortunes."

"..."

Nancy fell silent. Not a single word he had just said had been heard, and then out of nowhere, Su Qi says he can tell fortunes? What is even the connection?

"Like that short, plump dignitary in the middle of the VIP section, tenth row. He's been holding his pee but is too scared to leave his seat at this moment, so he's secretly trying to use a bottle."

"?"

"And that well-suited, burly man in the ordinary section to the left. Despite his upright and serious appearance with a full beard, he's a pervert. Underneath, he's wearing women's lingerie and is also wearing a Tool, with various words written on his body."

"??"

"Then there's that female abnormality. Although she's being quite sweet with her boyfriend beside her, she has actually undergone gender reassignment more than thirteen times. And the prerequisite for such a change is to consume other abnormality. It looks like her boyfriend will be next."

Nancy's expression was somewhat dumbfounded.

Setting aside whether any of this was true.

Why was it all about perverts?

And.

What the hell does this have to do with fortune-telling!

"I can see that you're quite impressed with my fortune-telling ability."

"....I'm only impressed by your ability to make things up," Nancy took a deep breath. "What on earth are you trying to say?"

He was considering whether he should just drag this guy down with him.

"What I'm trying to say..."

Su Qi looked at him and said, "Your forehead is shadowed, your eyes are lifeless, your lips cracked and tongue dry, your Primordial Spirit scattered, I fear a... life-and-death calamity looms."

Nancy's heart skipped a beat.

As these words emerged, he couldn't help but recall the previously dismissed thought.

"And my calculations suggest, it seems to involve one of the Young Masters."

With that statement,

Nancy finally confirmed his earlier notion, trembling slightly, "You... how could you know!"

"Don't ask, if you ask, it's a divine secret not to be revealed!" Su Qi sighed lightly, "After all, a Young Master wants you dead, you're probably done for, I suggest you hand over your bank card and the password to me."

Nancy chose to ignore the latter half, feeling somewhat overwhelmed at the moment, his heart even inclining towards believing that this guy really could tell fortunes.

Otherwise, how could he possibly know all this?

"If that's the case..." Nancy's voice was somewhat hoarse, "If you know this is a dangerous and deadly threat, why would you actively confront it..."

After deducing the true purpose of Young Master Dark Sea, he couldn't help but feel unparalleled terror within his heart, fear involuntarily rising because, no matter what happened next, he was bound to be dealt with, otherwise the jade pendant on his chest wouldn't be insanely heating up as a warning.

"Of course, it's because of…"

Su Qi looked at him and said, "Our friendship."

"..."

Our friendship… Is it even as big as a fingernail?

And you can lie without blushing…

"Furthermore."

Su Qi paused, "More importantly… it's not just going to kill you, the entirety of Night City won't be able to escape."

Nancy's expression froze, some shock and doubt arising in her heart.

"What?"

Su Qi had two objectives.

One was to directly pull Nancy over to The Hustlers Chamber of Commerce and sign a contract.

The other was because… after Young Master Dark Sea made his move, the whole Night City… including Illegal Land would be taken care of, as if fearing that any traces might reveal themselves and attract the pursuit of those with the traits to observe.

Traces were indeed mystical, containing all sorts of micro-information, and even if no one saw it or left evidence, information would still not fade away. The ability of the Observers… was profiling, which required a great deal of Strength, numerous rituals, and related items to find fragments of information from various details.

Of course.

The trouble in this was immense.

Normally, to thoroughly deal with all fragments, there were many methods, but the simplest and most brutal was likely something like meteor falls, pollution invasions, abnormality Descents, and other accidents, which would directly destroy everything.

By then, Young Master Dark Sea would turn this place into a hell on earth, and all living things would vanish like smoke.

"One can only say… not all Young Masters are incompetent."

He looked like a spoiled young master similar to Young Master Ash, but in reality, he was the most calculating and ruthless.

However.

His own The Hustlers Chamber of Commerce had just begun to take shape, taking root in Illegal Land, and still growing, preparing to use Night City as a stepping stone to gradually go international. How could he possibly let it be destroyed so easily.

Su Qi mused to himself.

Nancy's fingers trembled a bit, "Why would it do this?"

If he were to die alone, he could accept it, but to involve others… The face of his assistant appeared in his mind.

"Don't ask. If you ask, it's because of a psychological disturbance," said Su Qi softly. "So, do you now understand the situation you're in?"

Nancy's face turned pale, "I understand. It's a dead end."

"..."

Good, you understand thoroughly.

"Even a fish that's just died knows to flip its tail in the pan, and you just accept your fate," Su Qi shook his head. "Are you sure you don't want to gamble with me?"

Nancy's eyes trembled, "Do you have a way out?"

This matter was of great importance, and he felt that Su Qi seemed to be completely calm, as if he had a winning hand, which made him involuntarily harbor a sliver of hope.

"You can assume that there is."

"???" Nancy's eyelids twitched.

The statement was made with confidence but left no reassurance. Was there a way out or not?

Su Qi extended a finger, "In any case, there is only one thing we need to do now, and that is to make them fight each other without burning bridges! And we also need to drag Young Master Dark Sea into the fray."

With every word Su Qi uttered, Nancy shivered. After hearing everything, she stared wide-eyed and nearly shouted, "How on earth can we achieve what you're proposing!"

-----------------

An hour later.

Nancy watched, frozen, as the three Young Masters... stood calmly in midair, their Strength and auras flickering, their eyes alight with real fire.

He murmured to himself, "They really are going to fight."

Nancy's gaze returned to the stage.

There were only two reasons for the fight.

One was the item on the auction platform in the middle… emanating an abnormal aura.

The other was…

Nancy looked at Su Qi with complex eyes, he was the real instigator!
