Bai Luoluo sat in a dormant warehouse in a daze.
The nutrient solution had been drained, and he woke up from his sleep, but he still sat motionless, his mind chaotic.
The memory before death is so clear, Li Qianqian's howl, Motuo's roar, Li Guanshan's silent tears. It seemed that the rose that had frozen in time appeared again in front of his eyes, as well as the endless sand dunes and the sporadic greenery on the dunes. He had already left before his trees had formed a forest.
Bai Luoluo didn't know how long he had been sitting, until someone knocked on the door lightly outside, and he woke up like a dream.
"Who?" Bai Luoluo asked.
"Luo Luo?" It was Li Qian's voice. He was in charge of logistics in the agency and bureau, so he knew early on that Bai Luoluo had returned from the mission world.
"You." When Bai Luoluo heard Li Qian's voice, he barely felt a little familiar with this world. He reached out and wiped his face, and said in a low voice, "Is something wrong..."
Li Qian said, "You haven't taken a shower yet?"
Bai Luoluo said, "No..." He slowly stood up from the dormant cabin, walked to the bathroom and said, "I'll go right now."
"Okay, I'll wait for you outside." Li Qian said.
The warm water was poured down from the head, warming the cold skin. Bai Luoluo looked at himself in the mirror and suddenly felt a little strange. He stretched out his hand and touched the icy mirror, his fingertips felt cold.
"Am I really back..." Bai Luoluo asked, and then suddenly returned to his senses, his face became extremely pale - he realized what kind of question he asked.
After taking a shower quickly, Bai Luoluo put on his clothes and went out the door. He saw Li Qian waiting by the door.
Li Qian looked at Bai Luoluo's face and said worriedly, "Luo Luo, are you alright?"
Bai Luoluo shook his head, he said, "I'm fine."
Li Qian said, "Are you hungry? Let's go eat something first?"
"No." Bai Luoluo said, "I want to go back to sleep first." There was no expression on his face, and his whole person was full of tiredness.
Li Qian opened her mouth, but did not persuade her any further.
Bai Luoluo went back to his unit's dormitory alone. He sat on the bed, but he still felt very uncomfortable.
He got an A+ in this mission, but when the system announced it, he found that what he felt was not joy, but sadness. His memory was still covered with the sadness of that world. As soon as he closed his eyes, he could even recall the grief-stricken expressions people in that world showed when they faced his death.
And this world is just the tip of the iceberg.
Bai Luoluo remembered so many worlds he had been to. Although the memory of those worlds has been blurred, he can still vaguely feel that he has forgotten something very important.
The next day, Li Qian came to Bai Luoluo and asked him to do emotional analysis.
After a moment of silence, Bai Luoluo firmly rejected Li Qian's proposal.
Li Qian was obviously a little surprised, he said, "Luo Luo—"
Bai Luoluo said, "I don't want to do it."
"What did you encounter in that world?" Li Qian said, "You..."
Bai Luoluo was sitting on the bed with his head lowered. He raised his eyes slightly when he heard Li Qian's question. He said, "Li Qian, tell me, what exactly does the Social Welfare Bureau do?"
Li Qian was speechless.
Bai Luoluo said, "You told me to bring love to other worlds, so what happened to those loves after I left?"
Li Qian said, "Luo Luo..."
Bai Luoluo said: "You go, I want to be alone for a while."
Li Qian frowned, he hesitated, but finally he didn't say anything.
Bai Luoluo was supposed to do emotional analysis, but he didn't. Not only did he not, he also didn't plan to do it. Although he is a gentle person, he also has his own perseverance.
Bai Luoluo took a breath, dug out a phone number from his cell phone, and dialed it without any hesitation.
The call was quickly connected, and Yang Yedu's voice came over.
Yang Yedu said, "Hello."
Bai Luoluo said, "Hello..."
Before he said anything, Yang Yedu said: "Your mission is over, your rating is A"
Although Bai Luoluo was a little surprised, he still said yes.
"Come here." Yang Yedu said an address, his tone was full of nonchalance, "Be careful."
Bai Luoluo hung up the phone, got dressed and went out.
Yang Yedu told Bai Luoluo that the place should be his residence. In the outer suburbs, it would take almost an hour and a half to get there by taxi.
Bai Luoluo sat in a taxi in a daze, probably because his face was too ugly, and the taxi driver also asked him if he was uncomfortable.
Bai Luoluo said, "No, I'm fine, but I'm a little tired."
"Oh, you young people." The driver said, "Don't patronize to make money, your body is the capital of the revolution."
Bai Luoluo smiled and agreed.
The place Yang Yedu said was a villa complex, and Bai Luoluo found the house number that Yang Yedu said. His mind was a little messed up, but deep down he felt that he had touched something crucial, and Yang Yedu would definitely be able to solve his doubts.
Soon after Bai Luoluo rang the doorbell, Yang Yedu came to open the door for him.
I have to say that Yang Yedu is a very beautiful young man, but compared with Bai Luoluo's gentle temperament, he feels more arrogant and less easy to approach.
"Come in." Yang Yedu seemed to have just woken up, he yawned, scratched his messy hair and sat back in the living room.
Bai Luoluo changed his shoes and slowly walked to the living room sofa and sat down.
Yang Yedu poured hot water for Bai Luoluo and said, "I don't have any drinks at home, so I'll drink it later."
Bai Luoluo didn't mind this, he hummed and held the cup in his hand.
"You just finished the task? Have you done emotional analysis?" Yang Yedu said.
Bai Luoluo shook his head and said, "I haven't done it yet."
"Why didn't you do it?" Yang Yedu raised his eyebrows.
Bai Luoluo licked his dry lips, and a look of exhaustion lingered between his eyebrows. He said, "I... don't think that is very good."
Yang Yedu said, "Then are you planning to resign?"
Bai Luoluo didn't speak for a while, and finally nodded lightly.
Yang Yedu said, "It's good."
Bai Luoluo said, "I have something to ask you." He said, "Can you give me the answer?"
Yang Yedu looked at Bai Luoluo and said slowly, "I know everything I can say, and I can say everything."
Bai Luoluo took a deep breath and asked the question that had been tangled in his heart for a long time. He said, "What does the Social Security Bureau do?"
Yang Yedu didn't answer Bai Luoluo's question directly. He said, "You know, a few years ago, a staff member of the Social Security Bureau committed suicide by jumping off the building because he couldn't distinguish between reality and mission world."
Bai Luoluo said he knew.
Yang Yedu continued to talk about it, he said: "This is the consequence of not doing emotional extraction. Although the name of emotional extraction sounds like extracting emotions, in fact it is not at all, it is just a stupid method, Temporarily seal up the memories related to emotions. Why do people have to cross the Naihe Bridge and Meng Po Tang after death? Because people are fragile creatures, and a body cannot carry so many intense emotions."
Every mission is equivalent to a death, and the emotional precipitation is the low-quality Meng Po soup. The reincarnated people who cannot drink Meng Po soup will sooner or later be driven crazy by the intense emotions of life and life.
Bai Luoluo was stunned.
"Social Peace Bureau, as the name suggests, is an institution to maintain social harmony." Yang Yedu continued, "There are some people in the world who are smarter and more capable than others, but they have an incurable disease - they don't feel Feelings." When he said this, he laughed, "To put it bluntly, we are their medicine."
Bai Luoluo thought of something, his expression like being struck by lightning.
"You can even say it a little too much..." His hand raised Bai Luoluo's chin, his eyes were full of pity, "We are not even medicine, just the dregs of medicine after use."
Bai Luoluo's lips were pale, and he had already thought of someone from Yang Yedu's words.
Seeing Bai Luoluo's expression like this, Yang Yedu burst out laughing and said, "You are so cute... Well, I just made the situation worse. In fact, not everyone is as invested as we are. do the task."
Bai Luoluo's expression improved a little, he wondered: "What do you mean?"
"When you enter the mission world, you can indeed play a role, but this role is not necessarily a lover." Yang Yedu sighed, "It can also be a parent, teacher, friend, or even a colleague. In short, everyone is different."
Bai Luoluo couldn't believe it, he said, "Doesn't every world fall in love with the mission goal?"
Yang Yedu said: "Of course not." He said, "Of course there is an iron rule, that is, as long as there is an A+ or higher quest evaluation, it must have a physical relationship with the quest goal."
After he said this, his expression was a little strange, as if he was holding back a smile: "Well, you have so many A+ evaluations... It's hard work."
Bai Luoluo's face flushed red, the worst thing is obviously not only Yang Yedu knows about this, but those who know this criterion will know that he did it in the mission and the mission goal...
Yang Yedu felt that Bai Luoluo looked so cute, and even he felt pity and love, so it was no wonder that someone couldn't wait to take action against Bai Luoluo.
Yang Yedu said, "Have you guessed who you are serving?"
Bai Luoluo nodded.
"Actually, I also served him." Yang Yedu shrugged.
Bai Luoluo said incredulously: "You also entered his world?"
"Yes." Yang Yedu's expression was not very good. He said, "I went in and had a fight with him, and then he killed him."
Bai Luoluo: "..."
Yang Yedu said: "Let me tell you this, Qin Baichuan's tasks have been taken over by many people, but you are the only one who succeeded, and the other people's death methods are more tragic. He is not as gentle and elegant as he appeared in front of you. Compassionate." Qin Baichuan was the hardest bone in the Social Welfare Bureau, and he didn't know how Bai Luoluo got him down.
Bai Luoluo didn't know what to say.
"We still have a lot of colleagues." Yang Yedu continued with Bai Luoluokop, "Most of their ratings are below B, C and D are normal, but because of this, even if they come out of the mission world, There is no need to do emotional precipitation - because these emotions are not strong and will not have much impact on their lives, for example, you and Qin Baichuan have been colleagues for a lifetime, will you always remember him?"
Bai Luoluo seemed to understand but not understand.
Yang Yedu said too many things, and Bai Luoluo had to digest them all, and I'm afraid it would take a lot of time.
"The person who jumped off the building is because he has no emotions." Yang Yedu said, "He couldn't forget the intense emotions in the mission world, and there was an accident in the mission world, so he died..."
Bai Luoluo said, "I... I understand."
"Resign." Yang Yedu said, "You are still young and you have made enough money, there is no need to stay here any longer."
Bai Luoluo said, "Qin Baichuan... until these things?"
Yang Yedu said, "Of course he knows."
The two were talking when the doorbell rang suddenly.
Bai Luoluo saw that Yang Yedu's expression changed slightly, showing a little helplessness. He waited for the doorbell to ring several times before getting up and opening the door.
"Dudu." Standing at the door was someone Bai Luoluo knew. He had met at Qin Min's wedding. His name seemed to be Yan Zuofei.
"What are you doing here?" Yang Yedu frowned, his attitude a little irritable.
"I bought some vegetables for you to eat." Yan Zuofei's tone seemed to be coquettish, but he quickly noticed Bai Luoluo who was sitting in the room, and he said, "Yo, what about chatting with friends?"
Yang Yedu said angrily, "Don't appear in front of me, I don't want to see you—"
Yan Zuofei reached out and grabbed Yang Yedu's wrist, and he said softly, "Dudu, don't make me angry."
Bai Luoluo saw Yang Yedu's expression change with his own eyes, but in the end he didn't say anything, and let Yan Zuofei enter the room.
Bai Luoluo said: "Then I'll leave first..." He was about to leave, but heard Yan Zuofei say: "I'm cooking today, if you don't mind, stay here for a light meal."
Bai Luoluo was still about to resign, but Yan Zuofei said with a smile: "My family Dudu doesn't have many friends, should you be one of them?"
Bai Luoluo wanted to say that he had only met Yang Yedu a few times, but after thinking about it, he still didn't say it.
At the warm invitation of Yan Zuofei, Bai Luoluo stayed for this lunch.
Yang Yedu's expression was not very good when Yan Zuofei flew into the house, he went to the kitchen halfway, and his expression was even worse when he came out.
Bai Luoluo noticed that there were several red marks at the base of his ears, and his lips were a little swollen.
Bai Luoluo quickly looked away and pretended not to see it, but Yang Yedu lit a cigarette and said slowly, "Do you see it?"
Bai Luoluo hummed lowly.
Yang Yedu said, "That's the relationship between me and him."
Bai Luoluo said: "You voluntarily...?"
Yang Yedu said: "I didn't want to do it at first, but it's okay now." He scratched his hair and said lazily, "At least it's a good job, and it's okay."
Bai Luoluo was very embarrassed to hear it.
Yang Yedu looked at Bai Luoluo's shy appearance, smiled, and said, "Oh, I really like your type more..."
Bai Luoluo: "..." Don't make fun of me, my friend.
The lunch was very rich, and Bai Luoluo didn't expect Yan Zuofei's craftsmanship to be so good. This table is obviously all Yang Yedu likes to eat, but he still eats a little absent-mindedly.
Finally, Yan Zuofei put down his chopsticks, asked warmly, and said, "Dudu, do you have a bad appetite today?"
Yang Yedu said, "Well."
Yan Zuofei said, "What happened?"
Yang Yedu said indifferently, "It's nothing."
Yan Zuofei laughed and said, "Okay." He didn't ask any further questions.
Bai Luoluo was quite uncomfortable at this meal. Although Yan Zuofei didn't ask him any questions at the dinner table, his eyes kept looking at Bai Luoluo. Bai Luoluo didn't understand the meaning of this look at first, but when the meal was about to end, he suddenly woke up. That is looking at the eyes of the item, measuring the value, use and cost performance of the item. No wonder Bai Luoluo felt very uncomfortable.
After the meal, Bai Luoluo left in a hurry.
However, I don't know if it was his illusion. When he closed the door, he seemed to hear Yang Yedu's suppressed groan.
Bai Luoluo was about to go home, but he didn't expect that he went downstairs and saw Qin Baichuan.
Qin Baichuan's car was very conspicuous in terms of license plate number and model, so Bai Luoluo couldn't help admitting his mistake, but he was still stunned for a while, until Qin Baichuan pushed the door and got out of the car.
"Luo Luo." Qin Baichuan called Bai Luoluo's name.
"Baichuan, why are you here?" Bai Luoluo was quite comfortable with Qin Baichuan before, but after he knew that Qin Baichuan was his mission goal, he didn't know what to pose. attitude.
"I'm afraid you have an accident." Qin Baichuan said, "Get in the car."
Bai Luoluo hesitated for a moment, then got into the co-pilot.
There was a strong smell of cigarettes in the car, and there were more than a dozen cigarette butts in the ashtray. I don't know how long Qin Baichuan waited for Bai Luoluo here.
Qin Baichuan was not in a hurry to drive, he said, "What did Yang Yedu tell you?"
Bai Luoluo lowered his eyes and said, "A lot."
Qin Baichuan said, "Then you know?"
Bai Luoluo said, "Well."
Qin Baichuan said, "Luo Luo." His voice was quite complicated, and Bai Luoluo seemed to be choked up when he heard it.
"Luo Luo, I really like you." Qin Baichuan said, "I don't like anyone very much, and I don't know how to express it."
Bai Luoluo said, "Do you really like me?"
Qin Baichuan said, "Yes."
Bai Luoluo's eyes fell out of the window, but the light in his eyes was a little stray. He said, "Then do you like the real me, or the mission world?"
Qin Baichuan said, "I—"
Bai Luoluo interrupted him and said, "You don't have to rush to answer."
Qin Baichuan frowned, he felt that Bai Luoluo's emotions seemed a little wrong, his eyes were scattered, and he didn't even want to look directly into his eyes.
"You can think about it, do you like this me, or are you just influenced by the mission world." Bai Luoluo spoke slowly, but firmly, he said, "In the real world, I'm just a nobody It's just a useful civil servant, very different from you guys." He was ordinary like the flowers and plants on the street, not gorgeous or special, and he had never understood why Qin Baichuan suddenly became interested in him, but now this doubt is finally resolved. opened.
The partner Bai Luoluo is looking for is not the kind of temporary exciting partner. The lover he is looking for is someone who can accompany him for a lifetime.
Qin Baichuan understood what Bai Luoluo meant, he pressed his hand on the steering wheel and did not speak. For a while, the atmosphere in the car seemed to freeze.
In the end, it was Bai Luoluo who broke the silence and said, "Please take me back."
Qin Baichuan didn't say a word and started the car directly.
The communication between them has always been full of tacit understanding, and there has never been such an awkward and almost hopeless silence.
Bai Luoluo's temperament is soft, but he will not compromise on certain things, such as choosing someone who will accompany him all his life.
"The house has been renovated." When Bai Luoluo was about to get out of the car at the destination, Qin Baichuan suddenly said, "Let's have a look sometime."
Bai Luoluo nodded and thanked Qin Baichuan.
"Bai Luoluo." Qin Baichuan said, "I know you won't believe what I say now, so give me a little time to prove it."
Bai Luoluo said, "Okay."
Qin Baichuan nodded and drove away.
Bai Luoluo watched him leave.
Real life is so bland, without so many thrilling adventures, and without those dog-blooded love and hatred. So whether the relationship will also become dull, Bai Luoluo can't think of it, so he doesn't think about it.
For the next few days, Bai Luoluo stayed alone.
The subsidy in the bureau has also come down, and the amount is still terrifyingly large. But Bai Luoluo also guessed the source of the subsidy, and thought it was the labor fee Qin Baichuan gave him through the agency and bureau.
After taking the money, Bai Luoluo handed a letter of resignation to the Shehe Bureau.
The director obviously did not expect that Bai Luoluo would suddenly resign, and the reaction was a little surprised. He asked Bai Luoluo if he encountered problems at work,
Bai Luoluo said: "Director, you told me at the beginning that I came to the mission world to spread positive thoughts, right?"
The chief said, "That's right."
Bai Luoluo said, "Then I may not be able to do it now, because my thinking is all wrong."
The director was stunned. He felt that Bai Luoluo today was different from usual. He said, "What's the problem?"
"Is it a problem to want to kill the mission target?" Bai Luoluo said coldly.
The chief was stunned.
Bai Luoluo said nothing, turned around and left.
The director wanted to stop Bai Luoluo, but when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't say it. He hesitated for a moment, but still dialed a number.
The person on the other end of the phone listened to his narration and said calmly: "Don't approve the resignation letter first, and let him do the rest."
The chief can only say good.
