The Universe's First Hide and Seek

It has been more than three months since Shen Xiuyuan came to this world.

He was assigned a strange role. He was obviously in the interstellar era, but he didn't install prosthetics when he had an accident, so he insisted on sitting in a wheelchair.His temper is still very weird, he obviously hates the strange customs of his family, and hates his aunt for occupying his home.Let’s say you love your parents, you only went back at the funeral after being away from home for so many years; say you hate them, and you always hope that certain details about your family in your memory will not change.It feels like an older child who has been rebellious for a long time, but actually wants to go home and has to make trouble.

Of course, there was another main reason for the quarrel, that her aunt Shen Minglan occupied the Shen family's mansion.The original owner, Shen Xiuyuan, hated her, so he didn't want to go back and face her face to face.

Shen Xiuyuan checked the memory of the original owner, and confirmed the current status of various assets of the original owner... I feel that if I want to play a game of finding someone, I must at least survive.To survive smoothly, Shen Minglan's matter had to be settled.

However, he didn't go to "interact with this aunt online" as soon as he came, but spent three months first, slowly eliminating the identity of the people around him.Shen Xiuyuan has played "hide and seek" with his partner several times, sometimes they are far away, and sometimes they are close at hand.It's not that Shen Xiuyuan didn't guess right, but he was always one step behind and lost to his opponent time and time again.So this time, he was a little more cautious.

Even at the beginning, he played the role of the original owner carefully, so that people around him would not notice too much change.

I don't know if it was luck or misfortune, but after a while, he was sure that his partner was not among the people around him.So he gradually made himself easier to speak, better at making decisions, and more aggressive.Considering that the original owner has always wanted to get rid of Shen Minglan and take back the Shen family, this change is not too strange.

And after the people around him are settled, Shen Xiuyuan will be more comfortable when facing other people - such as those... contract workers after returning to Shen's house.

After all, he hasn't been back for a long time, and his temper and behavior are all normal, aren't they?

After Shen Xiuyuan came back, he looked at the people in this big house... the person who was very suspicious was inside.

There was a time before when Shen Xiuyuan was an officer in the game world, and he came back to his home after traveling so far to deal with some matters.In the end, before the mess was dealt with, the subject teased the officer's sister, shot Shen Xiuyuan, and made Shen Xiuyuan mad...

All in all, Shen Xiuyuan's mate was very cunning, and he couldn't catch it like a loach.Shen Xiuyuan had no choice but to keep recalling all the characteristics of the subject, reminding himself to distinguish them all the time.

Features: Proficient in psychology, proficient in hypnosis and suggestion skills, expert in micro-expression identification.Sometimes he likes to play pranks, can do magic tricks, and has strong hand speed and calculation ability.

"So, which...?"

Shen Xiuyuan looked at the list of Shen's workers, and slowly slid his fingers on the projection screen, confirming the experiences and recent performance of these people one by one: "Old people, women, young men... Or, you have become my one Auntie?"

Shen Xiuyuan didn't know what criteria the target would use to choose a character, he could play well when he couldn't choose a character before, but now that he can choose, maybe the target will find a character that is easier to hide.There is only one condition for Shen Xiuyuan to choose a role—the distance between the relationship with the object is no more than one person—in order to realize this condition, he can no longer mention other settings.

Originally, I thought that the scope could be narrowed down, but I didn't expect that Shen Xiuyuan's original family relationship was more complicated, and he himself had many relationships.It has to be said that it is a big project to screen these people and further screen their relationship.

Big project, but still to be done.Shen Xiuyuan began to call out the attributes of the mansion staff one by one to make a longitudinal comparison.

"Don't you have any spiritual power..." Shen Xiuyuan looked at the ranking made by the label of "mental power". The highest one was only one C grade, and then there were two E grades. The others had no mental power at all. One of the E-class is an old acquaintance who has been diligent and diligent - the housekeeper, and the other is the seemingly insignificant gardener - Dai Bowen. The C-level person is a bit surprising, it is the new female worker Su Jingjing.

Shen Xiuyuan looked at the watch and realized a problem.

This mansion...is a good place for the hypnotist to hide.

"So, that Young Master Shen has seen many people in the mansion alone these few days?"

In the greenhouse, while Dai Bowen manually punctured the cut rose branches one by one, he chatted with Windsor who was waiting next to him: "I met each of them?"

"Not really." Windsor replied, "Some of them just met and said a word or two on the road, and then they told me that they are not that aggressive."

Dai Bowen asked: "He also talked to you alone? What did he say?"

"I didn't say anything, I just asked about the current situation at home, mainly about how the young lady is using the facilities now." Windsor replied bluntly, "It should be that the young lady is thinking about her use and travel, after all, both of them are now They don't want to see each other... Ah, did the young master tell you not to call him 'young young man'?"

Dai Bowen stared at the rose with gloves on: "I said it, but I'm not used to it."

"Who said it wasn't? You see, when I told you, I still subconsciously called him 'Young Master'... You should pay attention to him." Windsor looked at Dai Bowen's movements, "You just like this every day You have to manually cut the thorns? The big and small rooms, the study, and the hundreds of flowers on the way he must pass...are you cutting it so hard?"

It is also interesting to say that there have been countless varieties of roses improved over thousands of years, but no one has ever thought of changing the thorns.Maybe it's because the new varieties always only pay attention to the color, fragrance and shape of flowers, or maybe everyone's inherent concept is still "no thorns, it's not a rose", in short, this thing is still very tricky.

In order to make it easier for the housekeeper and Windsor to exchange flowers, and to avoid the young man who got caught on a whim and got stuck, Dai Bowen had to peel off every time he changed flowers.

"It's not every day. Roses can last for one to two weeks. It's enough to come once a week." Dai Bowen can cut a branch in ten seconds. The flowering period is uniform, and each season is only one month."

"Aren't there any machines that can handle this?" Windsor asked.

Dai Bowen said: "In the past, no cut flowers were placed in the mansion, so there is no such thing."

Windsor suggested: "I remember it was there before, is it broken... Try to apply to the housekeeper?"

Dai Bowen said casually, "If there is a chance next time."

He quickly disposed of the flowers to be replaced in Shen Xiuyuan's room, there were still 33 flowers, with a bit of unknown evil taste.Windsor carried a small bucket of roses and left the greenhouse, ready to go to Shen Xiuyuan's room to exchange flowers.

Dai Bowen was still processing the flowers to be exchanged elsewhere, but his mind had already turned.

"Everyone has to meet... Is it a coincidence, or are you looking for someone?"

***

When Windsor came to exchange flowers, Shen Xiuyuan happened to be in the room.

In other words, if Shen Xiuyuan was not there, Windsor would not dare to come.

She knocked on the door of Shen Xiuyuan's room, explained her purpose, and then directly processed the flowers in front of the cabinet where the vases were placed.Her movements were nimble, and her skill in arranging flowers was also good—anyway, it would be enough to make an arc—and soon she was ready to leave with the replaced roses.

Shen Xiuyuan casually said: "Thank you, it looks great."

"You're welcome, I didn't do anything." Windsor paused, and then said, "The child Dai Bowen cut it all himself, and the thorns were cut off from each branch. I just took it and plugged it in."

Shen Xiuyuan was a little strange: "Shave the thorns by hand? When my mother made it before, didn't there be a machine that could handle it?"

"The original one in the mansion was broken." Windsor replied, "I didn't arrange cut flowers in the house for a long time before, so I didn't need to deal with it. Now I started to arrange flowers again, and Dai Bowen didn't say anything, so I just dealt with it. I only saw it when I went to pick up the flowers today, and I should still be dealing with the bouquets you are preparing to deliver in the study."

"Buy him a machine, a machine for processing roses, the Shen family won't be able to afford it." Shen Xiuyuan sneered, "If my aunt thinks it's a waste of money, just transfer it to him from my account. Anyway, go back to the mansion If you want to live here, you have to pay the fee every month, which I am still clear about.”

Windsor said this more and more deeply, but I didn't dare to answer it, so I nodded and asked the housekeeper, and then I left.

After she left, Shen Xiuyuan's wheelchair drove to the front of the cabinet, raised the wheelchair, took a newly inserted rose and observed it.

There are still some bulges left after the thorns were cut on the flower branches, but they are no longer prickly to the touch, but they are very hardworking.However, Shen Xiuyuan noticed another thing.

"Let Windsor come and tell me this, is it unintentional...?"

***

Windsor was carrying roses in a small bucket and was about to throw them away when she ran into Su Jingjing on the way.

Su Jingjing has learned etiquette for several days, and she has restrained herself a lot recently, but she seems to be in a good mood today.When she saw Windsor carrying a small bucket of roses, she was a little surprised: "Windsor, where did these flowers come from?"

Windsor didn't answer her redundant words, but said, "It was replaced."

"Replaced? But I think they are still blooming just right..." Su Jingjing blinked suspiciously. Flowers are not too rare these days, but it is not cheap to cut out a lot of this delicate and bright red.Su Jingjing, a young girl, actually likes these gorgeous flowers very much. She tentatively said, "I seem to remember where I saw them before. Are they picked from the Shen family's greenhouse?"

This is no secret, Windsor replied indifferently: "Yes."

Su Jingjing thought about it again, and said, "Are you going to throw it away? Shall I throw it away for you?"

"No need." Windsor has nothing to do now, so she won't save these few steps, and left after saying a word.

Su Jingjing watched her go away, recalled the appearance of the greenhouse gardener, and thought about it secretly.

"There is no sense of presence, and he seems to be a very talkative person...

"There are so many flowers, as long as there are only a few, it shouldn't matter, right?"
