From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

The Cheshire Cat stood upright, completely naked.

But such a beauty did not arouse Jiang Liu's interest in the slightest. Although the corners of his mouth were turned up, his eyes were indifferent. He did not look at a beautiful woman, but rather he was appreciating the beautiful natural scenery.

Seeing Jiang Liu's restrained yet bright eyes, Cheshire Cat felt a sudden surge of inferiority, but she quickly got up, climbed out of bed, slowly dressed, sat down at the dressing table, and teased Jiang Liu, "How could you not be even slightly moved by such a beautiful woman like me? Is my charm limited? Or are you not actually a man?"

"If we're talking about looks, the captain is naturally incredibly charming; no man could resist him. It's just a pity—I'm still a boy, so I don't understand what it's like."

At this point, Jiang Liu looked into the Cheshire Cat's eyes and added, "Captain, you're actually quite insecure, aren't you?"

In an instant, the ambiguous atmosphere vanished without a trace.

Cheshire Cat's eyes sharpened, and a layer of blood-red aura surged around him, causing the air to hiss and emit a pungent smell. He then drew a long knife from the bedside and swung it straight at Jiang Liu's neck.

But Jiang Liu did not dodge, and the long sword stopped an inch to the right of his neck.

Why didn't you hide?

The Cheshire Cat, exuding murderous intent, its crimson aura distorting the surrounding air, coldly questioned him.

“If the test hadn’t started yet, it wouldn’t matter if the captain wanted to kill me. But now our fifth team has passed the first test. The wealthy people, including Robin, have used us all as chips in the bet. If you dare to kill your boss’s ‘horse,’ you will become the new horse.” Jiang Liu extended a finger, gently tapped the blade, and slowly pushed it away.

Cheshire Cat's eyes narrowed. He sheathed his sword, stared at Jiang Liu for a long while, and then said, "You're much smarter than that bald guy from before."

"You've gone too far."

"But smart people generally don't live long."

“Then let’s wait and see, Captain. We can make a deal. The terms are: I will give you a sense of security, and in return, you will obey my orders once during our exploration of Atlantis,” Jiang Liu stated the terms of the deal.

"I feel insecure?"

The Cheshire Cat chuckled sweetly, "What nonsense are you talking about? Besides, why should I agree to your offer? Why would I give up a perfectly comfortable life to risk making a deal with you?"

"You are an extraordinary person, which, according to Western terms, would be a type of alchemist, magician, sorcerer, or priest."

In short, even if we are not of the same race, we are of the same kind.

People like us all have some desire for power, but the G-economy is a force composed of wealthy people from various countries, and they are all ordinary people. Your thinking is naturally not on the same track as theirs.

We can understand each other, but because they are powerful and influential, they are naturally unwilling to empathize with us.

After Jiang Liu raised his first finger, he followed with his second finger. "Since we have a pursuit of power, we will not have too many desires in other areas, such as sex."

Unless your ability is related to sex and you can't control it, but you clearly don't possess this ability, then the problem must lie in your personality.

That is, you yearn for a real man to protect you, love you, and cherish you, but you also believe that someone like you doesn't deserve happiness, so you give up on yourself...

# Chapter 705 Taking Advantage of the Cheshire Cat

"Hehe~ Hahahaha!"

The Cheshire Cat chuckled first, then laughed loudly, and then—

"It's not that I lack a sense of security! Kid! Don't be so arrogant!"

Faced with such a strong denial, Jiang Liu simply smiled and said, "Alright, then it seems I was wrong."

"You just admit you're wrong like that?"

This time, Cheshire Cat was surprised and even began to wonder what Jiang Liu was up to.

"Didn't you say you could play with me as you please before the day ends? Unlike the way that middle-aged man played with your body, I chose to play with your mind, and it seems to be much more effective than him—I guessed right, you've broken down." Jiang Liu chuckled.

"I don't!"

The Cheshire Cat's smile vanished visibly, and it roared angrily.

"Ah~ yes, yes, yes."

Jiang Liu answered dumbfounded, and before the Cheshire Cat could grind his teeth, he added, "So, in tomorrow's second test, do you dare bet that more than twelve people will survive?"

"Heh, absolutely impossible!"

Cheshire Cat sneered. As the inspector, she had already received orders from the robin that because a person in Team Five had appeared who was disliked by the vice-supervisor, the test that Team Five would face tomorrow would be arranged in a way that truly manipulated "human nature".

"Let's see who prevails in tomorrow's 'Three Kingdoms' battle."

Jiang Liu smiled and left the monitoring room.

"stop!"

But the Cheshire Cat cried out, "How did you know?"

"You want to know?"

Seeing Jiang Liu reveal a meaningful smile, Cheshire Cat's heart skipped a beat. He was about to deny it, but it was too late.

For an instant.

The Cheshire Cat's mental powers were connected to Jiang Liu, giving it a complete view of everything in the underground secret base, including the wealthy men who were indulging in pleasure, and his four colleagues:

A violinist playing the violin, a masked woman exercising, a deadly shooter inspecting the guns in his hand, and a puppet performing various yoga poses.

Such an ability!

Once the Cheshire Cat regained consciousness, it shook its head, backed away, and collapsed onto the bed, its eyes filled with surprise, fear, and a barely perceptible glimmer of anticipation.

"As you can see, dear captain, I know everything."

Compared to those four guys, your thoughts are much more subdued and you feel very insecure, so you need stimulation to alleviate this unease.

And you chose sex.

Jiang Liu laughed and said, "The West is indeed more open, which I'm not used to."

Damn it!

The Cheshire Cat gritted his teeth, got out of bed, and cursed, "You bastard, are you trying to lead me astray? If I report your abilities to the higher-ups, there are two possibilities!"

The first option is that they choose to believe you, and you don't need to participate in the test at all. Based on the practicality and power of your ability, they might even allow your companions to stop participating in the test.

The second possibility is that they don't believe me and suspect that I told you about the game's content in advance!

Damn it! Damn it all!

If that were the case, they would definitely think I had ulterior motives, or even that I had betrayed the Générale!

A 50% probability!

I wouldn't dare gamble at all!

More importantly, although the G Society's members include alchemists and ordinary people, the higher-ups are all ordinary people, so they naturally maintain a certain level of vigilance towards such people!

That "Selkait" has impressive close-combat skills and even has mastered alchemy techniques, yet he doesn't practice them.

Why?

Because once she crosses that line, she simply won't be able to reach the position of vice director within a year!

"So, now we're in the same boat." Jiang Liu said with a grin.

"Fuck!"

The Cheshire Cat raised a middle finger: = "= 凸!

But now that things had come to this, the Cheshire Cat could only grit his teeth and ask, "What exactly is your purpose?"

"Afterwards, when we explore Atlantis, will the Robin and that Ansuna come along too?" Jiang Liu didn't answer, but asked instead.

"Yes!"

The Cheshire Cat could only reveal some secrets: "War is about to break out! The G-Society wants to use this opportunity to reshuffle the cards in the world and then establish a regime dominated by the G-Society!"

"However, to prevent some members at the top from having other ideas and causing disunity, the president of the G-Society hopes to explore the legendary Atlantis in order to obtain ancient alchemical techniques and the Trident of Poseidon!"

"Legend has it that the trident of the sea god was the weapon of Thoth, the king of Atlantis. It possesses the power to 'stabilize the sea,' capable of stirring up towering waves and controlling the power of a great flood."

Jiang Liu: "???"

The main issue is the pronunciation of the two characters "定海" (Dinghai).

It sounds somewhat similar to the pronunciation of Chinese in China.

This made Jiang Liu a little suspicious, wondering if the G-Society's analysis was a conjecture based on comparing myths, legends, and documents from multiple countries.

"Simply put, in order to prevent internal rebellion, it is necessary to master ancient alchemical techniques and the Trident of Seamount?"

Jiang Liu summarized and complained, "That's really boring. No wonder those rich people are looking for fun. They probably want the wealth of Atlantis, right?"

At this moment, the Cheshire Cat calmed down, shut its mouth, and said nothing.

Seeing this, Jiang Liu didn't press further, but simply said, "You can consider whether to continue our deal after the second match."

after all--

At the G-Society, you seem really insecure.

"Fuck you! Get out of here!"

The Cheshire Cat roared and pounced on Jiang Liu, baring its teeth and claws.

The latter smiled faintly, faced the Cheshire Cat, and retreated completely outside the supervisory room. He walked backward along the corridor, as if shrinking the space to an inch, and stepped into a cell.

"Young virgin!"

With a cold snort, the Cheshire Cat returned to the surveillance room, pondering whether or not he should trust Jiang Liu.

She joined the G-economy only after becoming the final winner through participating in such "activities".

But after joining, she witnessed "true darkness," where the seven deadly sins—pride, envy, wrath, sloth, greed, gluttony, and lust—coexisted in the Gelug school, even more absurd than she could have imagined.

She wanted to escape, but reason told her that if she did, there would only be one place in the world where she could survive:

Nathan Island!

She just didn't want to live like a savage.

"Boom boom boom!"

Just then, the door was pushed open, and the crew-cut magician entered, asking in a sinister tone, "Was what you said during the day true?"

"come over."

The Cheshire Cat waved to the magician.
