Chapter 462: Hallucinogenic Drug
While Zhao Hai was puzzled, Cai'er suddenly informed him that the servant's expression was somewhat anxious, and he was staring at the cup of Kaya on the table.
Zhao Hai was taken aback and glanced at the cup of Kaya on the table. After entering this room, he hadn't faced any attacks or disturbances, nor had there been any other actions taken against him. It was impossible that they simply summoned him to this room without a plan; there had to be a follow-up, and that follow-up could only be related to that cup of Kaya.
Zhao Hai picked up the cup of Kaya and took a sip. He wanted to see what was peculiar about it and how they intended to deal with him.
As soon as the cup of Kaya entered his mouth, a prompt sounded in his mind: “Stimulant Hallucinogenic Drug, can produce extreme stimulation in the human body, but it may cause amnesia afterward; extracts toxins, enhances the toxic compounds in the spatial environment, and neutralizes the host's internal toxicity.”
Zhao Hai was stunned. He didn't expect that the servant had given him a cup of hallucinogenic drug. Although the system didn't explain it clearly, Zhao Hai understood that this was indeed a cup of hallucinogenic drug, and a potent one at that!
He slowly put down the cup of Kaya, genuinely perplexed about why they would want him to drink this. Did they intend to embarrass him?
However, Zhao Hai still prepared to act along, curious to see how they would handle him. So, shortly after drinking the Kaya, he pretended to feel dizzy, shaking his head continuously. Before long, he leaned against the sofa, feigning unconsciousness.
At that moment, the servant walked in again. He glanced at Zhao Hai, then suddenly drew a short sword from his body and aimed it at Zhao Hai's leg, clearly wanting to see if Zhao Hai was really unconscious.
But the servant didn't use any fighting spirit, and although the clothes Zhao Hai wore were made by the Karlqi Family, he was still wearing a robe inside that Laura had gifted him, which was resistant to ordinary attacks. As a result, the servant's short sword was immediately blocked by the robe Zhao Hai wore beneath.
Although the sword was blocked by his pants, it still hurt quite a bit. However, Zhao Hai managed to suppress the pain, continuing to pretend to be unconscious. The servant was momentarily taken aback but quickly realized that Zhao Hai must be wearing protective clothing. He couldn't help but mutter, "Wearing protective gear to a banquet, what a coward." After that, he hoisted Zhao Hai and started to drag him outside.
As they moved, the servant shook Zhao Hai a few times. Seeing that Zhao Hai still hadn’t awakened, he muttered, “Something's not right; he should have woken up by now. Did I overdose him with the drug?”
Zhao Hai already knew that they were using hallucinogenic drugs, not sleeping pills. However, the dosage this time was indeed a bit high, and Cai'er had calculated when he would wake up and what he would look like afterward.
Zhao Hai was just waiting for the right moment. After the servant helped him walk for a while, Zhao Hai suddenly stirred, then groggily opened his eyes. However, his gaze was unfocused, and he seemed to be in a daze, breathing heavily, his face flushed.
Of course, all these performances were assisted by Cai'er; he wasn't a talented actor. If it were just up to him, he wouldn't be able to create such an effect.
Seeing Zhao Hai like this, the servant couldn't help but say, “Looks like I really put in too much of the drug. This stuff is really potent. Kid, you’ve gotten lucky.”
Saying this, he helped Zhao Hai to a door, pushed him inside, and then closed the door, ensuring that no one in the room had a chance to see him.
Zhao Hai was momentarily startled, but he knew the servant was eavesdropping outside. He continued to feign a dazed state while assessing the room.
This was a very ordinary small guest room, clearly a place Charlie used to entertain guests that weren’t particularly important. The guest room was divided into two parts: the inner room was a bedroom, and the outer room was a small living room. From the small living room, one could see the bed in the bedroom; although there was a curtain separating them, the curtain had been lifted. Zhao Hai noticed that someone seemed to be lying on the bed.
