Chapter 89: go back

Views:

Zhuzhu tore herself apart with a dull look in her eyes.

Her whole body was like pork ribs that had been stewed for a long time, with skin and flesh hanging loosely on the bones and falling off if torn.

There is also a faint aroma of bone broth.

Chen Yang moved the flashlight away from the rotten meat and bones on the ground. He suspected that there was a fish named Zhuzhu in the last fish tide, and it was caught and hidden at that time... and thrown into the pot and boiled and eaten tonight.

There are still townspeople in the town.

Chen Yang scraped the inner wall of his mouth with his slightly stiff tongue tip. In less than a minute, he knocked on the doors of several other rooms and found that Qian Han and Ge Fei were not there.

Because of the material of the door, there was no sound when it opened and closed, so no one knew when they left.

Chen Yang told everyone his guess: "I think the cause of her death was that the fish was eaten."

"Fuck." Xiangdong looked at the large puddle on the ground. "She's so young, probably less than 20 years old, she has a long life ahead of her. What's there to be greedy about?"

"It's just a matter of thought." Chen Yang said.

The stones in the Stone Valley reveal a rule and taboo: if one has the thought of coveting the life of another, his name will appear on the back of a fish, which is very fatal.

The best way is as Gao Degui said, don't worry about where the named fish comes from, don't think about longevity, then you won't be cursed.

"Then who caught her fish?" the painter said, pointing at the body parts.

Just as Chen Yang was about to speak, the back door was pushed open and a young figure appeared at the door. He seemed to be thinking about something and walked into the yard absent-mindedly. He only came to his senses when he kicked the bucket.

In the dim light, a sound of pained curses was heard.

"Mr. Chen, why are you all in the yard..." Ge Fei saw the corpse on the ground clearly. He took a few steps back and leaned against the wall to dry heave, trying hard to suppress the urge to vomit.

Chen Yang waited until Ge Fei calmed down a little, then asked him what he was doing outside.

"I went to the pharmacy." said Ge Fei.

Chen Yang smelled a strong medicinal smell: "If you want to change the medicine, we can help you."

"It's scary. I'm afraid you'll feel sick." Ge Fei wanted to scratch his head, but he was afraid of the burns on his head, so he stretched his hand into the air and then put it down.

"You are quite self-aware, kid." Xiangdong said with a "tsk".

Ge Fei was not angry. The severe burns had worn away his vitality. The gauze wrapped his face and head into a big callus. He could not open his mouth when speaking and could only move slightly.

Chen Yang asked him if he had seen Qian Han.

"Is Qian Han not in the inn?" Ge Fei said in surprise, "I don't know his whereabouts. He was still in the room when I went out."

Ge Fei entered the room without staying long. He rubbed a spot on the back of his neck as he walked, looking uncomfortable.

There was no moon tonight, the candlelight in the room could not escape, and the courtyard was very dark without turning on the flashlight on the phone. Chen Yang found that Zhuzhu's body had disappeared. He took a deep breath and asked his teammates with distinct and difficult personalities: "What are your plans?"

Xiangdong looked at it with an open mind, ready to deal with any challenge: "We'll talk about it tomorrow when the fish tide comes."

The painter calmly analyzed: "At present, all we can do tonight is to replenish our physical strength. Tomorrow will determine the success or failure of the mission."

As soon as Chen Yang's eyes turned to Miss Qiao, he heard her say, "I'll go to Gao Degui's house to see if he ate Miss Zhuzhu's fish. By the way, I'll ask him what the purpose of placing our birth dates in the room on the second floor of the inn is."

Although they were all serious matters, her expression was full of hunger.

Everyone: “…”

Xiangdong: "You are such an old cadre, aren't you afraid of hurting your teeth?"

"I'm scared." Miss Qiao's addiction kicked in. She moved closer to Xiangdong, sniffing the strong and pure scent of hormones on him. "If you do it to me, I'll ask you about it and come back."

Xiangdong smiled and grabbed the hand that was touching him, and pushed him towards the back door: "Your brother Dong doesn't have the spirit of sacrificing himself to save others and save all living beings. Goodbye."

Miss Qiao went out to look for food.

Xiang Zimu didn't wait for Chen Yang to ask before she said she was going back to her room to sleep. She walked lightly and without making much noise, unlike Miss Qiao, whose high heels made a clattering sound and could step on a man's lower body at any time.

Xiang Zimu went back to the room and came out again, giving Chen Yang an ear clip in the shape of a five-pointed star, made of silver.

"She took this out when she was searching her pocket, threw it against the wall like crazy and ran out." Xiang Zimu said and went back to her room. This time she didn't come out and closed the door.

Chen Yang remembered that Zhuzhu's ears were bare before she died. He turned on Chao Jian's cell phone and used the light to find five ear clips in the yard.

The one Xiang Zimu gave him was the sixth one.

He had asked Zhuzhu before why an ear clip was missing, and Zhuzhu said it fell off and she didn't notice it.

Chen Yang stroked the six ear clips. Zhuzhu lied. She was the one who pushed the big-eyed girl out that night. The big-eyed girl pulled off one of her ear clips during the struggle, leaving a scratch on her earlobe.

Later, the face of the big-eyed girl appeared on her screen saver. She began to become suspicious and always felt that the big-eyed girl was grabbing her back.

This time, the big-eyed girl returned the ear clip she had taken away to her, and she was scared to death.

Chen Yang scratched his neck, and it seemed that the whole process had been sorted out, and it seemed very clear...

"This is a girl's ear clip. Why are you squeezing it so hard?" Xiangdong said, "If you like this little thing, I'll give it to you. I have a bunch of them, just like the ones on my ears. Do you like them?"

Chen Yang shone the flashlight and found that Xiangdong's earrings were also silver. He didn't notice it before, but this time he discovered that there was a letter on the other person's earrings, D.

"D, Dong." Xiangdong raised his eyebrows narcissistically.

Chen Yang: “…”

Xiangdong Gou Chen raised his shoulders: "Why, you want to get your ears pierced? A friend of mine is very good at this business..."

Chen Yang pulled Xiangdong's arm down. He was about to go back to the room to continue chatting with Chao Jian when he heard footsteps at the back door. Qian Han had returned.

Qian Han gave Chen Yang a feeling that was a bit similar to Ge Fei, and he was also absent-minded.

Chen Yang called out to him.

"Found it!" Qian Han quickly ran to Chen Yang and said in a very loud voice, "Mr. Chen, I found the townspeople!"

Chen Yang's eardrums were stimulated and felt a little painful: "Where is it?"

"He was in the west of the town." Qian Han opened his eyes wide. "He ran away as soon as he saw me. I couldn't catch him."

"The other townspeople must be in the town as well, but they are all hiding. I guess every household has a basement, and they only appear when the fish tide comes!" Qian Han said loudly.

Xiangdong picked his ears: "Can't you keep your voice down? I'm almost deaf."

"I'm sorry, I'm too excited." Qian Han apologized sheepishly and said, "I was afraid that all the townspeople would disappear and we couldn't find anyone who had eaten the Name Fish. Now it's okay, they are here."

Chen Yang hummed, and he unconsciously chewed on Qian Han's words "I'm afraid that all the townspeople will disappear, and we won't be able to find even one person who has eaten the named fish", and circled the key words he personally thought of "all disappeared" and "one", thinking about it gave him an indescribable feeling.

"Zhuzhu is dead." Chen Yang said.

Qian Han was stunned.

"Her fish was eaten by someone." Chen Yang described the process of her death.

Qian Han said in a dry voice, "I don't know which townsman stole her life." Then he added, "Only those who are greedy for other people's life will be named Fish."

"Alright, alright, what are you complaining about?" Xiangdong interrupted impatiently, "Let's go back to our rooms."

As he said this, he sent Chen Yang back to the house.

I felt a sense of loss when a father put his daughter's hand in his son-in-law's hand...?!

Damn it.

The next morning, Chen Yang took Chao Jian for a walk in the town, but they didn't see a single person.

"I heard from Xiang Zimu that Miss Qiao didn't come back last night." Chen Yang said, "Let's go to Gao Degui's house."

Chao Jian was leaning on a crutch, his eyes moving from time to time.

Chen Yang asked Chao Jian what he was looking for.

"Go to Gao Degui's house." Chao Jian answered the question irrelevantly.

The gate of Gao Degui's house was open. Chen Yang and Chao Jian went in and came out after a while. No one was at home.

"Could it be in the basement?" Chen Yang pondered, asking and answering himself, "No, Gao Degui doesn't need to do that now."

He looked around the yard: "Gao Degui is nowhere to be found, and Miss Qiao is nowhere to be found either."

"Let's go after you've seen it." Chao Jian was wearing a gray baseball cap, and a shadow fell on his tall nose.

Chen Yang asked: "Where are you going?"

"By the river." Chao Jianyin was looking for something again, "I won't be back at noon, so I don't have to run back and forth."

Chen Yang nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

I hope that the situation of this mission can change in the five minutes when the fish tide arrives.

The town is sunny and shady with green trees. The dense branches and leaves are growing wildly, the cicadas are chirping one after another, and the smell of summer is mixed with the yin energy, creating an eerie tranquility.

After walking for a while, Chen Yang took out his hat from his backpack and put it on. He was holding a bottle of water and drank it from Jian in sips. When they appeared on the river bank, the bottle was empty.

There was silence around the wide riverbank. No one else had arrived yet. Chen Yang wiped the sweat off his face and said, "It's so sunny. We need to find a shady place."

No response.

Chen Yang raised his eyebrows from under his hat brim: "Chao Jian?"

"Yeah." Chao Jian withdrew his gaze from the town in the distance and looked down at Chen Yang as if nothing had happened. "What did you say?"

"…" Chen Yang felt that his partner was a little abnormal. He repeated his suggestion, pointed in a direction and said, "Let's go over there. The tree is quite big."

Chao Jian put away his crutches and said, "Carry me on your back."

Chen Yang said: "My back is all sweaty and my clothes are wet..."

Before he could finish his words, he felt a sinking sensation on his back. The young man had already laid on top of him, his hot chest pressing against his wet back.

Chen Yang carried the young man on his back and felt his powerful heartbeat through his clothes, thumping like a drum.

The same goes for your own.

Perhaps because they had walked a long way, their heartbeats increased and had not had time to stabilize.

Under the tree

Chen Yang put his backpack on his lap and took out some food and drinks: "I have actually guessed the loophole of this mission, but I haven't verified it yet."

"Then don't say that." Chao Jian was peeling milk slices. He didn't eat anything else but this.

Chen Yang's words were blocked, and he choked: "What if I want to say it?"

A milk slice was stuffed into his mouth, and Chen Yang subconsciously wrapped it with his tongue. Seeing that Chao Jian wanted to peel it off, he hurriedly said, "One is enough."

"I'll eat." Chao Jian leaned against the tree, his knuckles sunburned red, and he said as he took off his clothes, "Don't tell me everything you think of."

Chen Yang blurted out: "If I don't tell you, who should I tell?"

Chao Jian was stunned.

Chen Yang didn't notice the boy's abnormality at that moment. He leaned back and said, "Although I guessed it, I think it's incredible and there are many variables."

"I can't do anything about the loophole. I can only look to other people." Chen Yang imitated Chen Xishuang and made a "cross" with his hands in front of him.

So far, all the missions he has done are team operations. It is not enough to rely on one person alone. Every missioner cannot be underestimated. Not all newcomers are bad.

Compared with newcomers, the elderly have advantages and disadvantages, all of which are relative.

Chen Yang saw Chao Jian crush the milk tablets and looked down at the powder on his fingertips. He asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Chao Jian wiped his fingertips clean, frowned for a while, and uttered three words indifferently, "Whatever you want."

It took Chen Yang a while to realize that he was answering his previous question.

The wind rustled the leaves, and the mottled shadows of the trees came alive, moving over the two people under the tree.

Chen Yang held up his eyelids to prevent himself from falling asleep, but after a while he closed his eyes, tilted his shoulders, and rested his head on Chao Jian's head.

Chao Jian pressed Chen Yang's head onto his shoulder. He half-closed his eyes and looked into the distance, observing something.

After a moment, Chao Jian placed his hand on the face of the person next to him, and the touch was cool.

"Wake up." He patted twice.

No response.

He patted Jian again, without much force: "Chen Zaozao, wake up."

Still no response.

Chao Jian held up Chen Yang's head which was resting on his shoulder, paused, leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Brother."

Chen Yang woke up with trembling eyelids. He felt a little dizzy, as if he had a dream. He dreamed that his sister was clinging to him and calling him brother.

It was also a summer afternoon. The dream was very hot and there was the sweet scent of watermelon.

"Go to the river." Chao Jian got up with crutches.

Chen Yang reached for Chao Jian's phone and checked the time. It was not yet three o'clock: "Is the fish tide coming early?"

"Go down first." Chao Jian said.

Chen Yang kicked his numb legs and feet, and caught a glimpse of two figures approaching from not far away. He quickly shouted, "Xiangdong, where are the others?"

"I don't know!" Xiangdong, sweating profusely, also shouted.

Xiangdong got a big net from somewhere. He and Chen Yang each stood on one side and slowly pulled the net open to cover both ends of the river.

"If the townspeople come, we'll just act according to the circumstances." He walked east across the river, his hands on his hips, panting.

Chen Yang walked toward the shore, the water wrapped around his feet gently. Who would have thought that this was the source that would drag the entire town into the abyss.

The river water was golden in color, as if it was made up of countless small diamonds, and the light kept jumping in the eyes of Chen Yang and the other three.

"Something has appeared." The painter looked at the water ripples.

"What is it?" Xiangdong asked and got the answer: it was the body of a cat.

One, two, three...

Before Chen Yang finished counting, dead rats appeared in his field of vision, followed by dead fish. Their number increased from a few to dozens, and then to countless.

When Chen Yang was still thinking that there were two missing souls for the sacrifice, they appeared.

The bodies of the baby and the girl floated down from upstream. Like the catfish, they were not rotten and looked like they had just died.

Cooked.

Chen Yang couldn't count anymore as there were too many of them. He could only watch them getting closer and closer to him and the fishing net.

"Damn it, the net is pulled." Xiangdong jumped into the river and cursed. Once those things rushed down, the net couldn't hold them, and they would squeeze onto the shore. He had to loosen the net quickly.

Chao Jian stared at the waterfall, his cheek suddenly twitched slightly, and he said sternly: "To the east."

Xiangdong, who was untying his net in the river, heard the shouting and was full of curiosity and interest: "Why are you called Brother Dong?"

Chao Jian threw his crutch into the water.

Xiangdong was splashed with water. He came ashore with a livid face and rushed towards Chao Jian angrily.

Before Chen Yang could stop him, he saw Chao Jian say something, turned his head to look upstream of the river, then cursed, turned around and ran away.

"What did you say to him?" Chen Yang asked Chao Jian.

Chao Jian: "I asked him to get the things."

Chen Yang didn't bother to ask further questions. He was distracted by the ripples on the water, which were extremely strange.

No, something else is coming down.

A lot of things!

Chen Yang stretched his neck to look under the waterfall. What he saw made his face change in shock.

It's a corpse.

The chef of the inn, the owner of the restaurant, the girl who cried uncontrollably because her brother was cooked, Yang Erzhu...

More and more faces came into Chen Yang's sight. When he saw Gao Degui, all the pores on his body exploded instantly.

Gao Degui's uncooked body was at the top, looking like he was sleeping, except for a deep mark on his neck.

"He died by hanging." said the painter nearby.

Chen Yang thought of the one-inch black-and-white photo in the upper left corner of the population registration form. Those photos flashed before his eyes one by one. He took a deep breath. Everyone in the town was dead.

A large number of corpses floated down, densely packed and stacked up layer upon layer.

Chen Yang’s eyes opened slightly. Could the thing he saw in the water yesterday morning be a corpse

At this moment, the body of a townsman stood up, his face was gray and his eyes were empty.

Zombies!

This word popped up in Chen Yang's mind. He opened his backpack, took out the gun, pulled the trigger, and shot the man in the head.

This set of movements is completed in one go.

Before Chen Yang had time to marvel at his own marksmanship, he saw the townsman with a hole in his head still walking straight towards the shore.

"Fight them back into the river." Chao Jian's voice was steady and cold.

Chen Yang threw away the useless gun and rushed forward, kicking the townsman into the river. As soon as he fell into the water, the body gradually turned black, and then he suddenly collapsed like black powder and melted into the water.

Before Chen Yang could come to his senses, the other corpses stood up.

This scene was like a large-scale live broadcast. The standing dead people lay down one by one, and the video was played backwards. It was extremely terrifying.

The painter's feet were swollen and he had obsessive-compulsive disorder, so his strength was limited. Chao Jian's energy was also limited. Chen Yang ran everywhere by himself and his strength was quickly depleted. Just when he wanted to curse, Xiangdong came back.

Xiangdong carried a large bundle of thick and long bamboo poles and quickly distributed them to the others, one for each person.

A bamboo pole can sweep away a wave.

Xiangdong swept several corpses into the water and glanced at Chao Jian who was beating the corpses calmly. The bamboo poles were given to him by the other party. He had anticipated that there might be some movement in the river, so he searched the town for bamboo poles in advance and found ones that were of just the right thickness and length.

Tsk, waving the bamboo pole to the east, and yelled: "Fortunately these monsters are not aggressive!"

Chen Yang couldn't agree more.

If they were zombies, they would all be dead by now.

While Chen Yang and the others were busy, a corpse that had eaten fish took advantage of the chaos to leave the river. The closer he got to the riverbank, the fainter the holes in his eyes became. His consciousness was recovering, and the fish's eyes were beginning to change into human's eyes.

Just as he was about to step onto the river bank, Miss Qiao kicked him down and threw him back into the river.

This incident made Chen Yang, who was standing by the river, understand one thing: he must not let the dead townspeople go to the river bank, as they would be alive if they went up there.

At that point the curse will enter the next reincarnation.

They have little time left for their mission and no time to wait here.

"They are all dead..." Ge Fei stood on the river bank and looked down, "Qian Han, didn't you say that you saw living townspeople in the west of the town?"

Qian Han said: "I saw it."

He dragged Ge Fei downstairs and said, "We don't have enough manpower. We can't just stand there and watch."

Ge Fei struggled to break free and said, "Mr. Chen, isn't it good for our mission if these townspeople are alive? That way we can continue to look for our target. How can we look for them if they are all dead?"

"After entering the next reincarnation, all the townspeople who have eaten fish and have fish eyes will turn back into humans, and everything will start over, which is like reshuffling the cards." Xiang Zimu came over from behind.

"So, whether we let them live or not, we won't be able to find the target of the mission," Ge Fei said, "We're going to die anyway, so why waste our time? Just wait until we die."

Xiang Zimu picked up a bamboo pole and joined the team. She used her strength skillfully and with just a slight push, all the corpses fell into the river.

"No need, as long as we don't let any townspeople go up and stop the reincarnation." Xiang Zimu said.

"If we stop them, all these people will be turned into powder. Isn't that a mission failure? Not a single one has eaten the fish." Xiangdong didn't understand either. His intelligence was just a pendant of his strength. It was not good enough and could not be put on the stage.

Yes. Chen Yang said a word silently, and glanced at Qian Han, then passed him... and moved to Ge Fei beside him.

The next moment, Miss Qiao pointed at the spot where Chen Yang's peripheral vision was, and said in her unique lazy tone: "Brother Dong, knock him out."

Ge Fei realized something, and he frantically pushed away Qian Han who was holding him. His eyes exposed outside the gauze were full of panic and twisted anger.

"You all make me do the hard work." Xiangdong caught up with Ge Fei with almost no effort and knocked him out with a punch.

Ge Fei fainted on the ground. Xiangdong's IQ suddenly soared. He turned the man over, peeled off the gauze and took a look.

No eyelids, fish eyes.

After dealing with all the corpses, everyone sat down exhausted by the river, facing the quietly flowing river.

Miss Qiao lay on Xiangdong's legs, but Xiangdong showed no mercy and kicked her away: "Sister, you've slept with dead people this week, how do you feel about that?"

"Not bad." Miss Qiao threw a wink, "I've even slept with zombies."

Several people: “…”

Xiangdong translated their ellipsis: "Then why weren't you bitten to death?"

"When I went to look for Gao Degui last night, he was already dead. I was too lazy to go back, so I just found a place to rest for the night."

Miss Qiao was tired and stopped teasing. She took off her high-heeled shoes without caring about her image and rubbed the sore soles of her feet: "As for why our birth dates were placed on the beds in those rooms, we can only explore it later."

"In the future?" Chen Yang looked at her fiercely, "The missions are continuous?"

Miss Qiao did not show any panic of letting the cat out of the bag. She just raised her red lips and gave an ambiguous answer: "Who knows."

After saying that, Miss Qiao turned the topic to another person: "My matter is trivial. Now it's our protagonist, Mr. Qian,'s turn to take the stage."

Qian Han lowered his head, his curly hair stuck to his forehead, and his immature face was covered with sweat.

Seeing Qian Han was silent, Chen Yang said, "Last time when the fish tide came, you kept rubbing your hands. I asked you what was wrong, and you said your hands were sticky from catching fish. After you washed them, the feeling was still there. In fact, you were nervous. You caught a famous fish and hid it."

A gap appeared between Qian Han's tightly closed lips, but he still didn't speak.

"That fish belongs to Zhuzhu." Chen Yang stopped here.

Qian Han opened his mouth and said something, but no sound came out. After a long while, he uttered a syllable similar to a sob.

He caught Zhuzhu's fish that day and he was so nervous that he kept rubbing his hands. He didn't expect that Chen Yang would observe the actions of this newcomer.

When he was dealing with Chen Yang, his heart was beating so fast that it seemed like it would jump out of his throat and he was almost scared to death.

Qian Han hid the fish in a place where no one knew. He hadn't figured out what to do with it. He was afraid that the fish would be eaten by rats or caught by someone, so every day was difficult for him.

Qian Han thought of many ways to deal with the fish, but he was hesitant and did not take any action.

After that, Ge Fei was discovered doing experiments with Lao Wu's fish. Lao Wu came back from the Rocky Valley and was scalded to death by boiling water that night.

Qian Han remembered correctly what happened that night. Ge Fei used Old Wu's body to shield himself from the rain, and the other party wanted to push him. If he hadn't reacted quickly enough, he would have ended up like Old Wu.

Zhuzhu and Ge Fei did the same thing.

The girl with big eyes actually woke up before she died. She pointed at Zhuzhu and told Qian Han the truth.

There is also Zhuzhu's ear clip, which is held in the hand of the big-eyed girl. It was Qian Han who took it out and secretly put it into Zhuzhu's pocket last night.

When Qian Han found out yesterday that all the townspeople were missing, he thought about the purpose and value of the fish. He began to make a plan using what his brother taught him, and he completed it smoothly without any mistakes.

"I think I found the right loophole this time." Qian Han looked at everyone with red eyes.

No one spoke.

The task is to find out the person who has taken the most lifespans, instead of finding out the townspeople who have taken the most lifespans. This is a loophole.

And when all the townspeople die, the person who only ate the named fish will be the one who takes away the most lifespan. This is also a loophole in the rules.

"How do you know Ge Fei is greedy?" Xiang Dong looked at the kid again, "If he is like Gao Degui and the cat, and doesn't want to eat the fish and take away people's lives, then both the person who eats the fish and the person whose fish is eaten will be freed, then you have been working in vain."

Qian Han said softly: "I'm not sure, I'm just gambling, there is no other way but to gamble."

Last night, Qian Han knocked Ge Fei unconscious while he was changing the dressing and forced the boiled fish into his mouth. But he was afraid that he would become suspicious, so he carefully removed the fishy smell from his mouth.

When Qian Han returned to the inn and learned of Zhuzhu's death, he was sure that his plan had succeeded.

Because if Ge Fei had a positive mind, Zhuzhu would be like Lao Wu, at most having the characteristics of a cat, and come back from the Rocky Valley, while Ge Fei would just bang his head like a cat madly, and then slowly recover, and neither of them would die.

The riverside became quiet.

Chen Yang looked at Ge Fei on the ground. His eyes turned into fish eyes, but he didn't notice it for a while. In addition, he was seriously injured and the skin on his face was wrinkled. It was normal for him to feel uncomfortable.

Last night, Qian Han said in the yard that he had found the townspeople. He spoke so loudly for Ge Fei to hear, in order to make the other party let down his guard.

Qian Han seemed to see through Chen Yang's thoughts. He grabbed the curly hair and said, "I can't let Ge Fei realize that he is the target. Otherwise, he will think, 'If I can't survive, then we will all die together.' He will hide and prevent us from finding him, or commit suicide before we find him. He is capable of doing that."

Chen Yang listened to Qian Han's words and looked at Ge Fei. Suddenly, he found something wrong. If he had no relatives, wouldn't he die if he ate the fish? Why didn't he die yet

Chen Yang got goosebumps all over his body. There was only one possibility.

Ge Fei’s relatives are in this mission world.

Chen Yang stood up suddenly. His breathing was disordered and he didn't even notice that he stepped on Chao Jian's hand. Every tasker came in with an ID number and were so-called legal citizens.

Judging from Ge Fei's unreasonable behavior, do they also have relatives...

When Chen Yang's thoughts were about to connect, they were interrupted by a sudden scolding.

"Fuck, it's so hot!" Xiangdong was jumping around like an ant on a hot pot, "The ground is so hot too!"

Chen Yang couldn't stand any longer. He hurriedly pulled Chao Jian up and carried him on his back. Looking at the plants that had changed color, his face was solemn. "The town seems to have become a pot, and everything is boiling."

Xiangdong felt like his feet were about to burn, and he was furious: "What should we do? Didn't we find the target? Why haven't we returned yet?"

"If you eat the fish, you are a member of this town." Xiang Zimu pressed his left wrist, looking at Chen Yang with his black and white eyes, and his unhurried voice seemed out of place.

Xiangdong suddenly had an idea and he grabbed Ge Fei and threw him into the river.

At that moment, the scene in front of Chen Yang changed, and he returned to the back of Xiaofu Street in the eastern suburbs.

"I'm back..." Chen Yang muttered to himself, and lifted the shopping bag up uncomfortably. He looked up and asked his partner, "Should we continue shopping, or take a taxi back to sleep?"

Chao Jian silently put his crutches against the wall, stood on his two legs, lowered his head slightly and opened his arms to him.

Chen Yang's soul was still in the mission world, and he didn't react for a moment: "What?"

"The sense of ceremony you want." Chao Jian looked extremely impatient.

"Ah? Oh, yes, we need a sense of ceremony to celebrate our return. Give me a hug." Chen Yang put down the shopping bag and walked towards him, not taking the next step for a long time.

Last time, it was Chen Yang who took the initiative to hug Jian. This time, he opened his arms to Jian, and he also opened his arms. Suddenly, he didn't know where to put his hands or where to tilt his head.

The two of them seemed to be standing still.

While Chen Yang was still inexplicably struggling with these details, a hand grabbed his waist and brought him into a clean embrace.

"Okay." Chen Yang wanted to withdraw.

"The time is too short and the sense of ceremony is not strong enough. Let's hug you a little longer." Chao Jian said with half-closed eyes.
