When they entered the world, a late cicada outside the window landed on a tree, gurgling sap and flapping its wings.
When they came out, the cicada fluttered its wings and flew into the night.
When the mission was over, the figures of Guan Qiaoqiao and Liao Wu gradually blurred in the eyes of several people, and the figures were erased by an invisible eraser, not even a scum was left.
This death is light and fluffy, like paper, it scatters with the wind, and nothing can fall.
Even the grief of the living is light.
Looking at the place where Guan Qiaoqiao disappeared, Chi Xiaochi murmured, "She's really gone."
He looked up at Yuan Benshan beside him in confusion: "She was talking to me just now."
These days, Yuan Benshan sees his friendship with "Guan Qiaoqiao" in his eyes, and he can understand him in addition to being frightened, but he regards that "Guan Qiaoqiao" as the real Guan Qiaoqiao still alive Just entrusted.
Yuan Benshan put his arms around his shoulders and kissed his hair: "Okay, okay, be good."
After his emotions stabilized, Chi Xiaochi returned the broken dagger to Tan Yue and his party: "She asked me to give it to you."
Everyone noticed that at the last moment before leaving the world, Song Chunyang chatted with that "Guan Qiaoqiao" for a long time, and their relationship was not bad.
Tan Yue silently collected the dagger and put it into her backpack.
She didn't even have the strength to express her gratitude, so they took a break and went down the mountain at night.
Seeing that the precious item was handed over, Yuan Benshan felt a little regretful, but only slightly.
Chi Xiaochi turned to look at him: "Will you be unhappy if I do this?"
Yuan Benshan shook his head: "It's enough for me to have you."
After all, he kissed Song Chunyang's eyes.
Chi Xiaochi: "…"
Strong man, if you have something to say, keep your mouth high.
What's more tragic is that Chi Xiaochi, who had just eaten a BBQ in the mission world, was still hungry in reality.
Song Chunyang discovered the filthy affair between Guan Qiaoqiao and Yuan Benshan before entering the mission world, and he didn't even eat two bites of dinner, which caused him to vomit now.
At this time, the Gan family brothers and sisters walked down from the upstairs of the old castle, and Gan Tang also greeted Chi Xiaochi gently.
Chi Xiaochi was startled, and even forgot about throwing up.
The four of them came from the same city and happened to buy the same high-speed train to return to the city overnight, so they officially formed an alliance while waiting for the train.
The so-called alliance requires mutual authentication and connection through the system.
Chi Xiaochi has been observing the reaction of the Gan brothers and sisters, but they were very calm, and within a moment, Xi Lou sent a signal that the binding was successful.
Chi Xiaochi: "...success?"
How could Gan Yu have a system
Chi Xiaochi always thought that Gan Yu's identity was faked by 061 to deceive him, but looking at the current situation, he actually exists in reality? And also have a system that has survived eight missions
Chi Xiaochi felt a little headache thinking about this question. He went to the public restroom on the pretext of taking out his restored mobile phone to search for Gan Yu.
In the bathroom, Xi Lou said dissatisfiedly, "You saw Gan Yu just now that your eyes were about to fall out."
Chi Xiaochi put down his mobile phone, and the screen displayed the search records about Gan Yu. He was a neurosurgeon in a tertiary hospital. He was thirty-two years old. He had records of lectures and papers. He was young and had a promising future.
He said disappointedly: "I thought Gan Yu was my system."
Xi Lou said disappointedly: "Oh."
He actually hoped that Gan Yu was the System 061 he had been talking about for so many days.
Chi Xiaochi spent two favor points to manually exchange a loofah basket from the warehouse, and dipped in water to carefully clean his eyes.
Xi Lou could feel his loneliness, and tried to comfort him: "I don't think it's him. I think he's just an ordinary person. Which ordinary person with a sound mind would make a special trip to such a dangerous place, just to accompany him. one person?"
… can be said to be very comforting.
However, it was rare for Chi Xiaochi to be silent.
He touched Song Chunyang's right eye in the mirror, and couldn't help laughing when he thought of the emoji that saved his life several times.
Maybe you really think too much.
Emoji is something that can be done within the scope of 061's authority.
He remembered that 061 said that changing a body in real life is a violation in the system.
As for Gan Yu, he was probably just a playboy who was good at teasing people and fighting snakes.
Yes, Gan Yu and Dong Feihong are real people. Maybe he misses Lou Ying too much and always tries to find the shadow of the past in others.
This is really unfair to anyone.
Therefore, when Gan Yu proposed to upgrade the second-class seat of the two of them to the business class compartment where the two brothers and sisters were after getting on the bus, Chi Xiaochi refused: "I'm fine here."
Gan Yu's face was not very good since before getting on the bus, but after being rejected, he still respected his opinion, and gave him the lunch he bought at the station to let him go to bed earlier after eating.
After he left, Chi Xiaochi gave Yuan Benshan the lunch, saying that he had no appetite and just wanted to sleep.
Yuan Benshan was very happy when he saw this.
He pushed away the armrest: "Sleeping against the window is very shocking and uncomfortable. Sleep on my lap."
Chi Xiaochi said embarrassedly, "Other people will look at us. Forget it."
Yuan Benshan thought about it too, took out the U-shaped pillow from his carry-on bag and put it on him.
Chi Xiaochi pretended to close his eyes, but he was actually staring at the display screen in front of him.
Yuan Benshan's favorability value for Song Chunyang is 75 points, and his regret value is 7 points.
Guan Qiaoqiao, an ally, was sacrificed, and Yuan Benshan only had Song Chunyang as his companion, but he loved him even more.
Instead of robbing his eyes, Yuan Benshan's sense of guilt plummeted.
It can be said that the current Yuan Benshan is very at ease, because Chi Xiaochi can also clearly feel that the image of "Guan Qiaoqiao" has gradually become blurred in their minds.
In such a short time, he didn't even remember what this man looked like.
In the last world, when Song Chunyang was killed, it was probably the same. As time goes by, they will even forget the evil itself. start their beautiful life.
He said to Xi Lou, "Remind me once a day, let me not forget Guan Qiaoqiao."
Xi Lou said hello.
Although he was slightly suspicious of Chi Xiaochi's character, Xi Lou would never doubt his methods.
Xi Lou already knew about his overall plan, and to be honest, he was a little surprised.
When Xi Lou died, he was just a third-year student who had not yet graduated from university. He had done tasks for more than ten years. He was used to seeing despicable human nature and fighting each other. He thought his heart was hard enough, but when he heard Chi Xiaochi and "Guan Qiaoqiao" "During the conversation, he was still covered in white sweat.
After returning to the original city, Chi Xiaochi asked the hospital for sick leave and fell asleep.
Yuan Benshan didn't care. Every time Song Chunyang completes a task, his vitality is severely damaged, and sleeping for three days is the starting price.
He instructed the moving company to move out and dispose of the excess items of their "tenants".
Yuan Benshan was busy outside, and Chi Xiaochi lay on the bed to sort out his thoughts.
A few days before the end of the eighth mission world, he asked Xi Lou about the working mechanism of their system.
Originally, he didn't intend Xi Lou to be able to say one, two, three, or four, but who wanted to say directly: "The task that the Lord God has given us is to give the host corresponding guidance, so as to facilitate the acquisition of fear energy."
"What to do with fear energy?"
Xi Lou opened his mouth and said, "Maintain world peace and stability."
Chi Xiaochi: "Your main gods are quite worried about the country and the people. The party age should be at least ten years."
Xi Lou did not change his face: "Not only the Lord God, but every system we enter will receive training. We are all staunch materialists."
Chi Xiaochi: "...you don't feel guilty for saying this."
Xi Lou said calmly: "After death, it will be transformed into corresponding energy, forming some spiritual body, which is what people call 'ghost'. If the resentment is shallow, the energy will dissipate naturally after a period of time; Fluctuations emit unique and unusual energy, and their power is naturally greater, and they can use their own energy to do things that ordinary ghosts can't do."
Chi Xiaochi: "..." It sounds really scientific.
Hearing this, Chi Xiaochi had already made up his mind: "Then the Lord God collects the so-called fear energy just to..."
"The main god is in a position where these unique energy bodies need to be confined in a different dimension, so as to prevent the ghosts from committing murder and causing uncontrollable losses." Xi Lou said, "The different dimension, to put it bluntly, is the prison of the ghosts. The Lord God is the warden, we work for the warden, and the taskers are the workers who are responsible for strengthening the prison walls.”
Chi Xiaochi: "... Worker?"
Xi Lou: "Can you just use love to generate electricity to maintain prison security?"
Xi Lou further explained: "Fear energy is the most effective coagulant to maintain the boundary between the alien space and the normal world."
…no wonder.
No wonder Song Chunyang was born with a pair of yin and yang eyes, but he has never seen a ghost in the real world since he was born.
The bottle girl in hide-and-seek, the resentful spirit in the library, and the balloon girl ghost are all members of the prison, while Song Chunyang and Yuan Benshan are just migrant workers who were temporarily arrested.
Having said that, Chi Xiaochi still had some criticisms: "Forcing a contract like this is not a contract of an overlord."
Xi Lou asked back: "Otherwise? Lord God, he will open a referendum to ask who voluntarily enters the world and contributes the energy of fear?"
Chi Xiaochi thought about it and thought so too.
He asked again, "Isn't it better to find some people who have done evil to die?"
Xi Lou replied: "The Lord God is not a judge of the world. Whoever has committed evil, whether it is evil, whether it is a major or a minor evil, can never be judged by one person. For the sake of fairness, it can only be random, and everyone on the wheel can be judged. It's life. If the energy at the boundary is unstable and those evil ghosts are released, most of the evil ghosts won't care whether the people they kill are good or evil."
Seeing the thoughtful look on Chi Xiaochi's face, Xi Lou couldn't help but be curious: "When your Lord God signed the contract with you, didn't you explain the mechanism and basic requirements of the world's operation? We all sent pamphlets, the host asked, just There is a duty to inform.”
Chi Xiaochi waved his hand: "I'm not familiar with our Lord God and have never met."
Xi Lou said: "Article 1 of our manual makes it very clear that if the host asks and does not inform, it is a violation of the Basic Law."
Chi Xiaochi: "I know."
It's true that people are more dead than people, and goods are thrown away.
Thinking back to the present from a few days ago, Chi Xiaochi covered his face with his hands and muttered to himself, "… energy."
This operating mechanism can be said to have given Chi Xiaochi a huge inspiration.
The main god of 061 is so drilled, maybe he also needs some kind of energy
unknown.
But this is also a new idea.
Chi Xiaochi quietly wrote it down, and at the same time thought about the contents of his agreement with "Guan Qiaoqiao", intending to verify several of the possibilities in the next world.
Xi Lou couldn't help but ask him, "Are you sure your method will work?"
"Let's try it." Chi Xiaochi said easily, "I've done a lot to blow up the cesspool. If it doesn't blow up, I'll try to find a way."
Xi Lou: "..." This is a metaphor with a sense of picture.
After the "illness" was cured, Chi Xiaochi went to work in the hospital, and as expected, he "coincidentally met" Gan Yu in a white coat in the cafeteria.
Seeing Gan Yu in uniform, Chi Xiaochi realized how wrong his previous thoughts were.
He was probably born for this dress.
The white coat amplifies the cold and abstinence feeling on his body, all the buttons on his body are well fastened, and it also tempts people to want to take off his clothes.
And this cold-hearted person saw Chi Xiaochi, and smiled from a distance, the spring breeze turned into rain, and it was easy to make people's legs soft and heartbeat.
But Chi Xiaochi just looked at it, and it was a feast for the eyes.
In order to prevent the payment of public rations with Yuan Benshan, he indulged in overtime work. He neither went to Gan Yu nor went home. To both of them, he resolutely implemented the principle of "doing three things and four not doing basics, Japanese cats and dogs and not you". In principle, just wait with peace of mind for the arrival of the ninth mission.
Let's not mention how Gan Yu feels, but because of Guan Qiaoqiao's death, Yuan Benshan recalled many warm memories of the two people's life, and was very kind to Chi Xiaochi.
It has to be said that Yuan Benshan is a very attractive person when he removes the scum of others. In his spare time, he did not forget to deliver meals to Chi Xiaochi, accompany him to watch movies to relax, and specially collected jokes to make him laugh .
Of course, he thought so too, so he was very confident. He thought it was Guan Qiaoqiao's death that he didn't want to share the bed with him. Song Chunyang was very sad, so he showed great understanding and tolerance.
Xi Lou's opinion on this is: "Draw a nose in the sky, what a fucking big face."
Chi Xiaochi smiled, noncommittal, and used the extra favor points to exchange for a card.
Fortunately, the ninth mission is not far from the last time.
About two weeks later, Chi Xiaochi was giving needles to the patient. As soon as the blood vessels were photographed, Xi Lou said to Chi Xiaochi, "...here."
