For you, madness, the late caller.

061 went into the kitchen and cut an orange for Chi Xiaochi, telling him about his promise to Ding Qiuyun before he left.

Chi Xiaochi is lying in bed, still cold, wrapped up in a small quilt and waiting for an orange.

There's a subtle pleasure in the sound of juice splashing as it cuts through the delicate fibers of a plump, soft orange.

After listening to his story, Chi Xiaochi circled the quilt, his spirit relaxing a little: "For Ding Qiuyun, this is good."

061 spun the orange peel off, and responded distantly, "I'm not doing it for him. I'm doing it for you."

...... His Xiaochi is too heavy hearted and needs to be nurtured.

Chi Xiaochi froze.

061, however, as if he had said a perfectly homely thing, immediately followed by inquiring, "Oranges are used for eating, and orange peels are used to infuse water. Can it?"

Chi Xiaochi hid half of his face under the quilt, "Uh-huh. Present it to me quickly."

061 smiled, "Yes. Your Majesty, please wait, I will set a plate for you."

Chi Xiaochi exhaled a few times under the covers before she managed to sit up.

Lying down for a long time makes you dizzy.

And as soon as he braced himself together, he sensed something was wrong.

He pulled his right hand out of the tightly tucked quilt and found a ring on his ring finger.

The ring was a plain finger ring that fit his finger perfectly, not bad at all. At first glance, it seemed to be plain, but upon closer inspection, there was a very fine star pattern on it, and the silver light spread out, as if there was a Milky Way slowly flowing in between.

When did he put this ring on?

Chi Xiaochi was vaguely familiar with the ring's material when he heard the subtle call once again, "Mr. Chi?"

It's much louder and clearer than last time.

The voice was cautious, but more steady and self-possessed than the man Chi Xiaochi remembered: "Mr. Chi, are you there?"

Chi Xiaochi doesn't vocalize either, just tries to answer in his head, "It's me."

The steady self-possession that he had secretly appreciated only moments ago all but disappeared, and the trilling voice of surprise was in line with the man's age of less than 20: "Mr. Ji, Mr. Ji! I'm Ji Zuoshan, do you remember me?"

Chi Xiaochi : "...... How many months have passed at your place?"

Ji Zuoshan answered nicely, "...... Well, almost four months."

Chi Xiaochi asked again, "Do I look like I have Alzheimer's?"

Ji Zuoshan then understood what he meant and pursed his lips and smiled tamely.

Chi Xiaochi was accustomed to latching on to people's words, and he had already learned quite a lot of information during the back-and-forth, question-and-answer session just now.

He did a quick mental addition and subtraction.

Time flowed differently in each world, some faster, some slower, but by and large the difference would not be too great.

Compared to the worlds he came from, he himself had spent eight months in the first and second worlds, and more than seven years in Dong Ge's world, but because he had successively used the beginner's, intermediate, and advanced time compression cards, it only took one year and two months to convert to the time in the outside world.

He had spent over two years on the star world Ji Zuoshan was on, and thanks to the advanced time compression card with 16x speed, he had been here for just over a month.

In Song Chunyang's world, he himself took the shortest time, a full count of only 45 days, and then offset by the compression card, the outside world after even less than three days.

The post-apocalyptic world took three years and eight months, and only nearly four months had passed in the real world after the advanced compression cards had canceled out.

Then the fractions of vacation days and the time difference between each world and the real world were superimposed and calculated individually, and the sum total added up to two and a half full years having passed in Chi Xiaochi's original world.

...... is just too long.

Don't look at him now, he's alive and kicking like a big grasshopper in all worlds, in the present world, he's probably now just a weak, pathetic and helpless wheelchair elf, the nurse accidentally stepped off his oxygen tubing he could die on the spot and go straight to the next life.

In Ding Qiuyun's world, Chi Xiaochi once asked 061 how he managed to bring in 10 hosts in 12 years of employment, and he should really be awarded the May Day Model Worker Medal plus a float parade in recognition.

061 helplessly said, "They also have exchange advanced compression cards. Moreover, they usually only brush the goodwill value ...... goodwill value to be better than the remorse value."

Chi Xiaochi wondered, "That shouldn't be so efficient."

061: "There are times when a situation like Zhan Yanchao's occurs: when you first arrive in the world, the target of the raid has a full favor value for the host. So they'll just kill themselves."

...... Well, that's a real energy saver.

Yet in his own perception, the time he had spent personally was real and not to be faked.

Ji Zuoshan is a name that Chi Xiaochi remembers from almost four years ago.

Chi Xiaochi brought her thoughts back on track and asked, "How did you get in touch with me?"

Ji Zuoshan: "It's Blue's armor. Do you remember the 'Scar' summer training? The Naman Metal that Mr. Six found? Blue was refurbished with Naman metal, and Mr. Six himself left some of it behind. Those Naman metals came from the same piece of stardust, and have some special sensibility. So ......"

Chi Xiaochi gently rubbed her ring finger, her face slightly red, as if she had thought of something.

But soon, not daring to trespass, he moved to smooth the ring loose, intending to return it to storage as soon as the off-site connection with Ji Zuoshan was over.

He asked, "What do you want from me? Singing karaoke."

Chi Xiaochi has a smile on his face and a heart like a mirror.

They had been conversing for so long from the time Ji Zuoshan linked in, yet he had not called 061 by name, nor had 061 greeted him.

Apparently, Ji Zuoshan had opened a secret channel that even 061 could not detect.

Since he didn't mention it, Chi Xiaochi bento he had some private things he wanted to tell himself, naturally for the time being there was no need to call 061 over to listen with him.

And to be able to break through the Main God's system defenses, directly shield other systems, and infiltrate here without a sound, in a sense, Ji Zuoshan's spiritual power was indeed deservedly at the near-god level.

Ji Zuoshan said, "It's like this. I found a strange person here. It seems to be somewhat related to the system that Mr. Ji works with. That's why I purposely blocked Mr. Six to prevent being listened to by the system."

"What man?"

Ji Zuoshan said, "A man. I bumped into him while I was shopping with Luo Qian and the others. He said that he came from another world and asked me to take him back to his original world."

Ji Zuoshan's description is objective and gentle enough.

It was diagnosed by a doctor as a lunatic with a moderate mental disorder.

In order to find out what happened, Ji Zuoshan and took a lot of effort to find out a lot of key information from his confused description.

This person has been in "this world" for thirteen years, and no longer remembers his own name, calling himself Bai Chufei at one time and Tan Hu at another.

Ji Zuoshan went to investigate and found that although there were more than three hundred Tan Hus with the same name on the planet, they all had accurate identity IDs, and none of them could match the person in front of him.

Bai Chufei is a real person, but he has been de-identified.

Bai Chufei, in other words, is officially recognized as "dead".

Bai Chufei is a handsome young man, even if the bearded "Tan Hu" is well groomed, half white, and Bai Chufei's looks are still far from the same.

But Tan Hu still insists that he should have been the dead man Bai Chufei.

Luo Qian thinks that he is really brain watt, told Ji Zuoshan not to spend more unnecessary thoughts on him.

But Ji Zuoshan has taken on this unidentified madman.

He went to investigate Bai Chufei, and learned that this person was not bad, his family line was only a hair's breadth worse than Zhan Yanchao's family, and he was an excellent Alpha who was quite proud and cool.

After entering the army, Bai Chufei was imprisoned without authorization by another Alpha, Zhao Jinnian, the regimental commander of an army unit in the East Road, and chained to a military tent for forced sexual intercourse day after day.

Later, he chose to set himself on fire, probably because he could not bear such humiliation.

Tan Hu, however, said that he had to set himself on fire in order to fulfill his mission.

In the course of his mission, he falls hopelessly in love with Zhao Jinnian, who is both handsome and powerful.

Love in this world is mostly arsenic for him and honey for me. For the weak and timid Tan Hu in the real world, he is afraid of war, and Zhao Jinnian tethered him to the army tent, so that he doesn't have to go to war; he is not good at making his own decisions, and the overbearing Zhao Jinnian solves everything for him; he is afraid of socializing with people, and Zhao Jinnian isolated him from the crowd for his enjoyment alone.

In Tan Hu's opinion, Zhao Jinnian is the perfect match.

He would not have left Zhao Jinnian if he did not have to fulfill his mission.

As he brushed up Zhao Jinnian's favorability and ignited the army tent with a hidden flint, he secretly made up his mind that he would come back to Zhao Jinnian when he had completed all the quests.

However, when he completed all the tasks and it was the main god's turn to perform, his dream completely turned into a soap bubble.

He wears Tan Hu's face as the most mediocre Beta on the city streets where people come and go.

...... have no identity ID, no source of income, no place to land, nothing.

Bai Chufei's distinguished family, fine clothes, handsome appearance and strong force, he has none of them.

He's Tan Hu, a man who shouldn't even exist in this world.

He went to Zhao Jinnian, claiming to be Bai Chufei, but almost ate the guard's gun, so he squatted on the side of the road, beggar-like, rummaging through garbage cans for food, freezing and shivering, waiting for Zhao Jinnian to come out of the barracks, so that he could rush up to him and recognize him.

He had so many good memories with him, he should love his soul, and would never leave himself behind.

His visions came to an abrupt end when, hungry and dizzy, he saw Zhao Jinnian's car pulling out of the barracks gate.

The right seat in the back seat, which originally belonged to him only, was occupied by a man who looked like Bai Chufei.

Zhao Jinnian was afraid that he would get seasick, so he rolled down the window, took him by the shoulders with one hand, peeled off the milk candy and stuffed it into his mouth, pressed it against his ear, and whispered words of love, making the good-looking man laugh.

Tan Hu is completely desperate.

He cried out to the Lord God again and again, begging him to let him go back, even if he had to do ten more quests, he didn't want to stay in this place where not a single person knew him.

He repented and screamed, but the Lord God paid no more attention to him.

When the contract was signed, the Lord God made it clear that he would only fulfill one wish of one person.

After realizing he could never go back, Tan Hu tried to kill himself, but after picking up a razor blade and gesticulating at his wrists, his legs gave out and he sat down on his butt, clutching his knees and bawling his eyes out.

He's afraid. He doesn't want to die.

Live but do not dare to live, die but do not dare to die, Tan Hu only gritted his teeth and stayed in this world, surviving for thirteen years, scavenging with fear and trembling in a world that honors force.

After a long time, he went mad and hid in his little world, chanting and telling countless passersby his prayer, "Take me away, take me back, I don't want to stay here ......"

After ten long years of praying, only one person heard his prayers and brought him to a place where he could settle down and gave him food and clothing. But he was already delirious, dazed, and murmured to the walls every day, except for food and drink.

He can no longer tell if he is Bai Chufei or Tan Hu.

Despite his suspicions, Chi Xiaochi felt chills when the gory facts were laid out directly in front of him.

He tightened the covers tighter, trying to get more information, "Did he say anything else? Like, which one of his systems is it?"

Ji Zuoshan replied, "He said it was '127'. He's been pleading with me, hoping that I can contact his system so that he can help plead with the main god. But he also mentioned that he was the last host that 127 had taken. Anyway, he's not sure if No. 127 is still working within the system."

127, 13 years ago, last host ......

Chi Xiaochi had never heard Mr. Six talk about this system.

Either they're just regular coworkers, or they stepped down long before Mr. Six took office, I think.

Chi Xiaochi deliberated for a few more moments, intending to ask the question in more detail, so that when he found the opportunity, he could ask for information from the more qualified system through 061: "What does 127 look like? Has he seen it? Can he describe it?"

Ji Zuoshan was also meticulous, having asked the madman countless questions in advance, and at present, he had gotten almost all the relevant information he could.

He picked up his recorder, which was filled with Tan Hu's fragmented, hammer-and-click descriptions.

It took him no small amount of effort to sort through the voice files to get a rough idea of what was going on.

Ji Zuoshan held up the recorder and read out what was summarized above, "No. 127 was very young, had just entered college when he died, was a liberal arts student, wore a pair of glasses, his appearance was on the clean side, with long hands and long feet.No. 127 was very devoted when he was brought up, his personality was more lively, and there were times he loved to talk about some of the windy things with him. ...... By the way, he loves food very much."
