Chapter 106: Alienation, planning, world mechanisms.

As they entered the world, an evening cicada outside the window landed on a tree, gurgling and sucking the sap, and lifting its wings.

As they came out, this cicada fluttered its wings and flew off into the night.

At the end of the mission, the figures of Guan Qiaoqiao and Liao Wu gradually disappeared in the eyes of several people, and were erased by an invisible eraser, leaving no residue.

This death is light, like paper, like fluff, scattered by the wind, nothing can fall.

Even the grief of the living is muted.

Chi Xiaochi looked at the place where Guan Qiaoqiao had disappeared and muttered, "She's really gone."

He looks up at Yuan Benshan beside him in confusion, "She was just talking to me."

These days, Yuan Benshan saw his friendship with "Guan Qiaoqiao" in his eyes, and while in a state of alarm, he could understand that he was only treating that "Guan Qiaoqiao" as a spiritual support for the real Guan Qiaoqiao. He was just using the "Guan Qiaoqiao" as a spiritual support for the real Guan Qiaoqiao.

Yuan Benshan wrapped his arms around his shoulders and kissed his hair, "There, there, good boy."

After stabilizing, Chi Xiaochi handed the broken dagger back to Tan Yue's group, "She told me to give it to you."

Anyone who noticed Song Chunyang talking to that "Guan Qiaoqiao" for a long time in the last moments before leaving the world, and their relationship had been good, it was reasonable for "Guan Qiaoqiao" to ask him to hand over the dagger to them, but it was also reasonable for Song Chunyang to ask for the dagger to be handed over to him. It makes sense that "Guan Qiaoqiao" would ask him to pass the dagger to them.

Tan Yue silently collected the dagger and put it into his backpack.

She didn't even have the strength to give thanks, and the few of them rested for a while, and then went down the mountain in the night.

Yuan Benshan was a little sorry to see the precious item being surrendered, but only slightly.

Chi Xiaochi turned to him, "Would you be upset if I did."

Yuan Benshan shook his head, "I have you enough."

Then he kissed Song Chunyang's eyes.

Chi Xiaochi: "......"

Strong man, if you have something to say, lift up your mouth.

What's more tragic is that Chi Xiaochi, who just had a full barbecue in the mission world, is actually still hungry in reality.

Song Chunyang was the one who found out about Guan Qiaoqiao and Yuan Benshan's sordid affair before entering the mission world, and didn't even have two bites of his dinner, resulting in him not being able to vomit even if he wanted to now.

At that moment, the Gan siblings came down from the upper floors of the ruined fortress, and Gan Tang greeted Chi Xiaochi gently.

Chi Xiaochi was so stunned that she even forgot about throwing up.

The four came from the same city and happened to buy the same overnight high-speed train back to the city, so while waiting for the train, they officially made an alliance.

The so-called alignments are required to authenticate connections to each other through the system.

Chi Xiaochi had been observing the reactions of the Gan siblings, yet they were both calm, and in less than a moment, Xi Lou signaled the success of the binding.

Chi Xiaochi : "...... succeeded?"

Gan Yu, what's with the system?

Chi Xiaochi had always thought that Gan Yu's identity was a fabrication by 061 to deceive himself, but judging from the current situation, he actually existed in reality? And has a system that has survived eight missions?

Chi Xiaochi had a slight headache from thinking about this, so he excused himself to go to the public restroom and took out his cell phone, which had been restored to functionality, to search for Gan Yu.

In the restroom, Xi Lou said in dissatisfaction, "You just watched Gan Yu watch his eyes almost fall out."

Chi Xiaochi put down his cell phone, on the screen was a search record about Gan Yu, a neurosurgeon in a tertiary hospital, thirty-two years old, with records of lectures and papers available, a young age with a promising future.

Disappointed, he said, "I thought Gan Yu was my system."

Xi Lou was disappointed, "Oh."

In fact, he also wished that Gan Yu was the System 061 that he had been chanting for so many days.

Chi Xiaochi spent two points of goodwill to manually exchange a loofah basket from the warehouse and dipped it in water to clean his eyes carefully.

Xi Lou could feel his despondency and tried to comfort him, "I know it won't be him even if I think about it. I think he's just an ordinary person, what ordinary person with a sound mind would come all the way to such a dangerous place just to accompany a person?"

...... can be very comforting.

But Chi Xiaochi didn't say a word.

He touched Song Chunyang's right eye in the mirror and couldn't help but lose his smile as he thought of the emoticon that had saved his dog's life several times.

Maybe it really is overthinking itself.

Emoticons are the only thing that can be made within 061's purview, right?

He remembered 061 saying that changing bodies in real life was a violation in the system.

As for Gan Yu, he's probably just a flamboyant Gong Zi who's good at flirting with men and hitting snakes with sticks.

Yes, Gan Yu is also good, Dong Feihong is also good, all are real people, perhaps he misses Lou Ying too much, always trying to find the shadow of the past in the others.

It's really not fair to anyone.

So when Gan Yu offered to upgrade both of their second-class seats to the business-seat compartment where the siblings were seated after boarding the train, Chi Xiaochi declined: "I'm fine right here."

Gan Yu didn't look too good since before he boarded the bus, but after being rejected he respected his opinion and gave him the boxed lunch he had bought on the station and told him to eat it and go to bed early.

After he left, Chi Xiaochi gave Yuan Benshan his boxed lunch, saying he had no appetite and just wanted to sleep.

Yuan Benshan was pleased to see this.

He pushed the armrest away, "Sleeping against the window is jarring and uncomfortable. Sleep on my lap."

Chi Xiaochi apologized, "The others will look at us. Forget it."

Thinking about it, Yuan Benshan took out the U-shaped pillow from his bag and put it on him.

Chi Xiaochi pretended to close her eyes, but in fact she was staring at the display in front of her.

Yuan Benshan has a favor value of 75 points towards Song Chunyang and a remorse value of 7 points.

When his ally Guan Qiaoqiao was sacrificed, Yuan Benshan was left with only Song Chunyang as his companion, and he loved him even more.

And not having to snatch the eye thing called Yuan Benshan's guilt plummeting.

It's safe to say that Yuan Benshan is now at peace with itself, as Chi Xiaochi can also clearly sense that the image of "Guan Qiaoqiao" is fading in their minds.

In such a short time, he could no longer remember what the man looked like.

In the last life, when Song Chunyang was killed, it was probably the same thing, and in time, they would forget even the evil itself. Starting their good life.

He said to Xi Lou, "Remind me once a day so I don't forget about this Guan Qiaoqiao person."

Xi Lou said yes.

Despite being slightly skeptical of Chi Xiaochi's character, Xi Lou would never doubt his methods.

His entire plan Xi Lou had been informed, and frankly, he was a bit breathless.

At the time of his death, Xi Lou was only a third-year student who had not yet graduated from the university. He had been on the job for more than ten years, and was used to seeing human beings being despicable and turning on each other, so he thought his heart was hard enough, but when he heard the conversation between Chi Xiaochi and "Guan Qiaoqiao", he still broke out in a white-haired sweat.

Back in the city, Chi Xiaochi called in sick to the hospital and went to sleep.

Yuan Benshan doesn't think so. Song Chunyang is so exhausted after every mission that sleeping for three days is considered a starting price.

He directed the movers to take out and dispose of all the excess stuff of the "tenants" of their house.

Yuan Benshan is busy outside, and Chi Xiaochi is lying on the bed combing his thoughts.

A few days before the end of the eighth mission world, he had asked Xi Lou about the mechanism of their system.

Originally, he didn't expect Xi Lou to be able to say one, two, three, or four, but who would have thought that Xi Lou would directly say, "The task that the main god has given us is to give the host appropriate guidance to facilitate the acquisition of fear energy."

"What do you need fear energy for?"

Xi Lou opened his mouth, "Maintain world peace and stability."

Chi Xiaochi : "Your Lord God is quite worried about the country and the people, the party is at least ten years old."

Xi Lou's face didn't change, "It's not just the main god, every one of our incoming systems receives training. We are all staunch materialists."

Chi Xiaochi : "...... You're losing money saying that."

Xi Lou calmly said, "After death, people will be transformed into corresponding energy, forming certain spiritual bodies, which is what people call 'ghosts'. Those with shallow grudges, the energy will naturally dissipate after a period of time of cohesion; those severe ghosts, when they die, their emotions fluctuate and they emit unique and abnormal energy, their power is naturally greater, and they are able to utilize their own energy to do things that ordinary ghosts cannot do."

Chi Xiaochi: "......" sounds pretty damn scientific.

Hearing this, Chi Xiaochi's heart already basically had a number: "Then the main god collects the so-called fear energy just for the sake of ......"

"The main god is in a position where he needs to confine these unique energy bodies to an otherworldly space, lest the Knights lose their temper and kill, causing uncontrollable damage." Xi Lou said, "The otherworldly space, to put it bluntly, is a prison for the Knight Ghosts, the main god is the warden, we are the ones who work for the warden, and the taskmasters, the workers responsible for reinforcing the prison walls."

Chi Xiaochi : "...... workers?"

Xi Lou: "Do you think it's okay to maintain prison security with love power?"

Xi Lou further explained, "Fear energy, is the most effective coagulant to maintain the border between the otherworldly space and the normal world."

...... It's no wonder.

It's no wonder Song Chunyang was born with a pair of yin-yang eyes, yet he's never seen a ghost in the real world since he was born.

The Bottle Girl, the Grieving Spirit in the library, and the Balloon Girl are all members of the prison, while Song Chunyang and Yuan Benshan are nothing more than temporary wage earners.

Having said that, Chi Xiaochi is still a bit critical: "Isn't it a contract to force a contract to be made in this way?"

Xi Lou asked rhetorically, "What else? The Lord God he open a referendum and ask who volunteered to enter the world and contribute fear energy?"

Chi Xiaochi thought about it and thought so.

He asked again, "Wouldn't it be better then to find people who have done evil to die?"

Xi Lou replied, "The Lord God is not a world judge. Who has done evil, whether it is considered evil or not, whether it is a great evil or a small evil, it is never up to one person to adjudicate. To be fair, it can only be randomized, and it's the fate of anyone whose turn it is. If the energy of the border is unstable and releases those evil spirits, most of them won't care whether the people it kills are good or evil."

Seeing Chi Xiaochi's thoughtful face, Xi Lou couldn't help but wonder, "Didn't your main god explain to you the mechanisms and basic requirements of how the world operates when he signed the contract with you? We've all been issued pamphlets, and the hosts are obligated to inform us when they ask."

Chi Xiaochi waved her hand, "I don't know that Lord God of ours well enough to have met him."

Xi Lou said, "The first article of our manual states clearly that it is a violation of the basic law if a host asks and does not inform them."

Chi Xiaochi: "I know."

It's really a case of people getting killed and goods getting thrown away.

Thoughts returning from a few days ago to the present, Chi Xiaochi covered her face with her hands and muttered, "...... energy."

This mechanism has been a great inspiration for Chi Xiaochi.

Is the main god of 061 so drilled that what he needs is perhaps equally some kind of energy?

Unknown.

But it's kind of a new idea.

Chi Xiaochi made a mental note without moving, and at the same time thought over the contents of his agreement with "Guan Qiaoqiao", intending to verify a few of the possibilities in the next world.

Xi Lou couldn't help but ask him, "Are you sure that that solution of yours will work?"

"Let's give it a try." Chi Xiaochi said easily, "I've done a lot of blowing up cesspools. If it doesn't work, we'll find another way."

Xi Lou: "......" What a graphic analogy.

"After getting well, Chi Xiaochi went to work at the hospital and met Gan Yu in the cafeteria wearing a white lab coat.

Seeing Gan Yu in his uniform, Chi Xiaochi realized how wrong he had been.

He was probably made for this outfit.

The white coat amplified the cool asceticism of his body, obviously all the buttons on his body were properly fastened, but also tempted people to think about it, and they couldn't wait to strip off his clothes.

And this cold desire of the person saw Chi Xiaochi, far from the face will show a smile, spring breeze, easy to crisp people legs soft heartbeat.

But Chi Xiaochi is just a looker, a feast for the eyes.

In order to prevent Yuan Benshan from handing over his rations, he was addicted to working overtime, neither looking for Gan Yu nor going home, and firmly enforced the principle of "screwing three, screwing four, not screwing gays, and screwing cats, screwing dogs, and not screwing you," and waited for the arrival of the ninth mission with peace of mind.

Gan Yu's feelings aside, Yuan Benshan, on the other hand, remembers a lot of warm memories between the two of them because of Guan Qiaoqiao's death, and treats Chi Xiaochi extraordinarily well.

I have to say, minus the scumbag part, Yuan Benshan is a very charming person who, in spite of his busy schedule, brings Chi Xiaochi meals, goes out to the movies with him to relax, and collects jokes to make him laugh.

Of course, he himself felt the same way, so he was very confident and showed great understanding and tolerance for Chi Xiaochi's unwillingness to share his bed, thinking that it was because of Guan Qiaoqiao's passing away and Song Chunyang's sadness.

To which Xi Lou's opinion was, "Drawing a nose in the sky is a big fucking face."

Chi Xiaochi smiled, noncommittal, and cashed in a card with the extra favor value.

It's a good thing the ninth mission wasn't too far removed from the last one.

About two weeks later, Chi Xiaochi was lancing a patient and had just tapped out the blood vessels when Xi Lou said to Chi Xiaochi, "...... is here."
