Chapter 146. Scrammm!
Arc 8: I am a dead bird.
The sky gradually darkened, its downward trend like the two ounces of flesh on the chest of a woman over forty, equally unstoppable.
Chang Qin cleared the dishes and prepared to go to the study room. He glanced at the balcony. There had been no movement there for a while. Could the black bird be dead?
On the balcony, Chen You was painting on the tiled floor, pooping here and there. He was so bored. He had to find something to kill time, otherwise he would feel hopeless.
“What are you doing?”
A sudden roar echoed overhead, startling Chen You. He looked up and saw the man standing at the door, staring at the puddle near his paw. He blinked, honey, you can see my poop?
This is embarrassing.
I thought my poop had a built-in invisible function, so no one would see it except me.
Chang Qin’s expression was extremely grim, and his eyes were like heavy snow, enough to freeze anyone to death.
Danger!
Chen You flew to a corner, his wings trembling. Dear, listen to my explanation. It’s a misunderstanding, it’s all a misunderstanding. You know what kind of person I am. I’m very hygiene cautious and I am by no means a person who defecates anywhere.
Chang Qin directly opened the balcony window and said, “Get out.”
Chen You turned around and leaned over the cabinet door behind him, clinging to it tightly with his two bird claws. I’m not going!
Chang Qin exuded a terrifying aura. “I’ll say it one more time, scram for me.”
Chen You felt wronged, his eyes moist. Where was the promised love?
When you were in school, didn’t your Chinese teacher tell you how important imagination is?
Chang Qin was stunned when he saw the black bird’s tiny eyes staring straight at him. He had heard that some species of birds are psychic, “Are you a Myna?”
Chen You pecked at the door. No, I am a big black bird, the most advanced, beautiful, lovely, and intelligent bird species.
“I don’t care if you’re a myna or something else, get out of here right now.” Chang Qin wasn’t a kind person, and he gave all his remaining tenderness to one person, “Otherwise, I’ll do it myself.”
Chen You shrank his neck, a surge of sadness rising within him. What do you want to do? Beat me to death! That would be truly hilarious, my Director!
The system must have been watching from the sidelines, laughing like a stupid.
Chang Qin was about to grab him when his phone rang in the living room. He answered it and spoke in the direction of the balcony, not caring whether anyone could understand him or not, “I have to go out for something. I hope I won’t see you when I come back.”
After saying this, Chang Qin closed the balcony glass door and opened all the windows. Before leaving, he glanced at him coldly, a warning full of meaning, and an unusually cold tone, “Myna, if you don’t want your wings broken, leave now.”
Damn it, myna, myna, have you ever seen a myna with such a unique body structure? You big blockhead. Chen You sighed inwardly. Seriously, you’ve been with me for so many lifetimes, and you don’t even have a single bit of kindness. You’re so proud of bullying a bird, oh!
After the door slammed shut, Chen You flew out from the corner and circled around the balcony. If only he had access to the internet, he could post something. He’d even thought of a caption—— I’ve turned into a big black bird, and my man doesn’t recognize me. What should I do? There would definitely be a large number of people, crammed to the brim with ideas, desperate to join in the fun. He’d be dazzled by the sheer number of ideas. Ai, unity is strength. Alone, he couldn’t come up with anything.
Chen You felt dizzy and bumped his head against the glass door. He wailed and slid straight down to the ground, a lifeless bird.
As luck would have it, he landed right on top of one of his poops.
So, pooping everywhere is really not allowed.
Regardless of the poopie stain on the bird’s feathers, Chen You struggled to move and continued to lie on his side, the bird’s head resting on one side. Half-dead, he asked the system, “Old 4, do you have any solution?”
System said, “Pray.”
Chen You was furious, “Can you please be more tactful? I’m already a dead bird, and you’re still messing with me!”
System paused for a moment, “You can practice speaking and tell the target who you are, but there are restrictions.”
Chen You rolled his eyes. This fart stinks so badly that it stank deep down in his gut.
System said, “Telepathy doesn’t disappear with a change of species. No matter what body you have, whether you’re a bird, a caterpillar, a leaf, or even a piece of trash, your soul is you. If the target can’t recognize you, then his feelings for you won’t be that deep.”
Chen You said, “Yes, no matter how things change, my soul will never change.”
The next moment, he said, “Why do I feel like you’re trying to sow discord? I’m telling you, I won’t doubt my family’s darling because of this.”
System said, “Hehe.”
Chen You also returned those two words to it, “Don’t be sarcastic. If you do that, I would misunderstand that you love me and that you can’t get me, and thus become mentally twisted and want to separate me from my loved ones, so as to achieve a psychotic thought that if I can’t have it, no one else can.”
System said, “You’re overthinking it.”
Chen You said, “That’s better. Otherwise, I’ll be in a very difficult situation, you know.”
System didn’t want to respond anymore. It was left in a state of between laughter and tears by a host. Such a small thing, yet it possessed great capabilities.
Chen You flew on the balcony for a while, then flew out the window, taking some time to catch up with Chang Qin’s car.
A young woman stood outside the Chang Xiang Si Restaurant, her legs slender and white beneath a pink skirt. She spotted a car approaching and, wearing her few inches high leather shoes, ran towards it, “Boss, I’m so sorry to have you come so late.”
Chang Qin slammed the car door, his brow darkening and his expression indifferent, “Mingxing, there’s nothing to be embarrassed about. I’m the person in charge of the restaurant, and it’s only natural for someone to ask about me.”
Cheng Mingxing pursed her red lips, her gaze fixed on the man, her face flushing slightly. She entered the restaurant and signaled with her eyes, “Boss, that’s the customer.”
Chang Qin raised his hand, stopping Cheng Mingxing from continuing. He strode towards the table with his long legs and asked casually, “Sir, which dish is not to your liking?”
The middle-aged man had a slick face, a five-figure watch, and a large jade piece around his neck, worth almost six figures. He was a wealthy tycoon. He knocked on the table and said, “You guys don’t understand people’s words. It’s not that food doesn’t suit my taste, it’s that there’s something wrong with your ingredients. This shrimp must be dead.”
Chang Qin curled his lips and said, “If it can survive being fried in a frying pan, it must be a spirit.”
The guests around couldn’t help but laugh out loud, whispering to each other, if you have that much money, you should hire some teachers, study more at home and not embarrass yourself in public.
The middle-aged man wasn’t embarrassed at all. Instead, his wife was embarrassed and whispered, “Forget it, let’s go.”
“Forget it, what forget it? Who’s responsible if my health fails?” The middle-aged man said to Chang Qin, “You, go get your boss!”
Chang Qin raised his eyelids and said, “I am.”
The middle-aged man’s voice caught in his throat. He once again looked at the young man before him, “So, how do you want to compensate me?”
Chang Qin remained silent.
“Eating dead shrimp is bad for one’s health. Not only can it cause poisoning, it can also cause acute gastroenteritis. I’m very careful about my life!” The middle-aged man turned the Buddhist beads in his other hand. “If I eat shrimp here and go back…”
Chang Qin interrupted the middle-aged man, “Sir, as the restaurant manager, I want to make it clear that all the seafood in our restaurant is fresh and alive.”
The regular customers present, all agreed, saying, “That’s right, we come here often and we trust this place.”
The middle-aged man pointed at the plate, where a single shrimp lay alone, and said unreasonably, “Look for yourself, the shrimp’s body is straight, and the color isn’t right. It’s obviously dead!”
Some of the new customers started wavering. They wouldn’t really sneak dead shrimp in for them to eat?
Chang Qin glanced at Cheng Mingxing. A moment later, the restaurant chef emerged and, in front of the middle-aged man, peeled back the tip of the shrimp’s tail to reveal the meat inside, “The live shrimp is cooked, and this piece of meat is attached to the shrimp body. Sir, take a look. Are they connected?”
The chef said this and showed it to other customers.
A worried customer went up to take a look and said, “They’re connected.”
At this moment, the guests in the restaurant were all pointing and talking at the middle-aged man. That was enough. He was dressed decently and wore branded clothes. Why was he so unreasonable and unforgiving?
Being sick, who wouldn’t value their life? But being so neurotic and calling white black is completely unreasonable and outrageous.
Besides, when it comes to fate, no one knows what it is, and humans can’t understand it.
The middle-aged man was still refusing to give up, but his wife couldn’t stand it anymore. She left on her own, carrying a small designer bag. She said, “If you continue to embarrass yourself, don’t come back to sleep with me tonight.”
As soon as his wife left, the middle-aged man was left alone. He cursed a few words and walked out with a green face.
After the middle-aged man left, the restaurant returned to normal. The guests continued to eat and drink, enjoying the food, and the pianist continued to play.
Chang Qin sat at the bar, and Cheng Mingxing made him a cup of coffee, “Boss, is there something on your mind?”
After sipping his coffee, Chang Qin asked, “Do you know myna birds?”
“Boss, if you’re talking about other birds, I really don’t know, but I’m more familiar with myna,” Cheng Mingxing said, sitting down on a high chair nearby, “I have a myna at home. My dad likes to take it for a walk and teach it to talk. Now it says good morning to me every day. When I get home from work, it says, ‘Off to work!’ And when it’s time to eat, it says, ‘Eat, eat.'”
Talking about her family’s myna, Cheng Mingxing’s face was all smiles, “Mynas are very intelligent. They can learn many sounds and even sing, and they learn very well.”
Chang Qin raised an eyebrow. It seemed that the black bird that had followed him by accident only knew some basic things, not very advanced ones.
Maybe its owner just asked for those and nothing else.
Cheng Mingxing held her chin in her hand, her slender white legs swaying, “Boss, do you want to raise a myna? I can recommend one for you.”
Chang Qin didn’t answer, but instead asked, “Can myna birds fully understand human speech?”
Cheng Mingxing said, “Regarding myna, some are a little dumb and don’t understand much, but some are just like humans, understanding everything. My parents treat our myna like their little son, and we have no problem communicating with it.”
It was a rare opportunity for her to find a topic to talk to this man about, so she told him everything she had heard about the daily life of her family’s myna bird.
Chang Qin understood that it was his own ignorance that made the myna bird so perfect.
It was late at night, and no one would go out to look for birds, so no one noticed the big black bird flying around the restaurant.
Chen You couldn’t fly into the restaurant, as that would cause a huge commotion. The restaurant his man opened was his own, and he couldn’t damage his own family business.
The middle-aged man was arguing with his wife just now, and it was all about that plate of shrimp.
His wife thought he was possessed by evil spirits. He was suspicious at home and even more suspicious when he went out. He wasn’t living like a human being anymore.
The middle-aged man said that the other party didn’t care about him. The fortune teller said he would face a major disaster this year and he must pay attention. So he wore a jade pendant, Buddhist beads, and copied Buddhist scriptures every day, hoping to avoid the disaster.
“Go live with that fortune teller.”
The woman got into the car without even looking back, and told the driver to drive away without waiting for the middle-aged man to get in.
The middle-aged man cursed and hailed a taxi on the side of the road.
Chen You flew past the middle-aged man, dropping a black feather that had been gnawed by a stray dog during the day. It landed right at his feet.
The middle-aged man looked down and saw it, “What is this, bird feathers?”
Chen You’s plump body paused in flight. He quickly turned and flew in front of the middle-aged man, confirming something.
The middle-aged man’s face darkened, “Where did this dead bird come from? Scrammm!”
Fearing he might be assaulted, Chen You quickly fled. He watched as the middle-aged man got into a taxi. The other party was on edge and had an argument with the driver on the way for some unknown reason.
The result was a fatality.
This time, Chen You followed the taxi driver all the way. After killing the middle-aged man, the taxi driver stole everything from his jade, Buddhist beads, watch, and wallet. He then put the body in the trunk and drove to a remote mountain area.
The driver pulled out a large bag from the trunk. It contained a lot of tools. It was terrifying.
Chen You watched as the driver dug a hole, dumped the middle-aged man’s body in, and then filled it with dirt. He even stomped on it and covered it with grass and dirt. Someone unaware of the situation wouldn’t notice anything unusual.
The driver was a capable person. This probably wasn’t the first time he’s done something like this.
Chen You was memorizing the license plate number, trying to think of a way to tell Old Yan and have him call the police, when a voice suddenly rang out from behind him, “Did you note it down? The license plate number is xxxxx, don’t make a mistake.”
He turned his head and saw the middle-aged man standing there, bleeding from his chest.
The middle-aged man seemed to be dragged backward by a force. He fell to the ground, clawing at the ground with his hands, “Myna, I was not polite back then. I apologize. Now that I’m dead, please help me. Help me notify the police and my family. Tell them to avenge me… I want revenge…”
Chen You wanted to say, hey Dashu, me in front of you, also dead!
He looked at the driver, whose face was hideous and covered in blood. A dying person could see him, but the driver couldn’t, which meant he wouldn’t die for the time being.
Amazing, killing the person, and the technique was so skillful, it didn’t seem like it was his first time.
Can this be avoided? This is anarchy.
Chen You turned back and flew towards the restaurant, trying to tell Chang Qin the license plate number, hoping his claws would be useful.
