Double prisoners, condescension, and trust in each other.
Chi Xiaochi is awakened by the light.
When he opened his eyes again, a bright moon jumped straight into his eyes.
And the moon was surprisingly low below the eaves.
...... This is the top of a tall building, the top is hollowed out dome, four walls are empty, stop the four columns support, the pattern is similar to the pavilion in the mountains.
Chi Xiaochi got up, walked to the side of the pavilion to see, eyes dizzy, immediately reached out to hold the pillar. Good to stabilize the body.
It's more than a thousand feet above the ground, but it's as steep as a cliff on all sides.
If Chi Xiaochi remembers correctly, this place is known as the Bright Moon Building, and it's the place where Jingxu Peak is specially designed to keep the most important criminals.
He felt toward his side, and the Sword in the Stone had indeed been taken away.
Chi Xiaochi: ...... Oh exempt.
He returned to the center of the pavilion and sat down with his legs crossed.
Duan Shujue's spiritual power has not yet reached the level of being able to move with the wind, and there is no sword blade on his side that he can manage, jumping down is basically the same as a free fall, as for whether the meat paste that he fell into is an S shape or a B shape, he doesn't know.
With the wind blowing through the hall, Chi Xiaochi felt like a salted fish waiting to dry up.
At that moment, his right hand moved.
Duan Shujue wrote: "The Master has disappeared."
Chi Xiaochi closed her eyes and said, "Well, he's gone too."
Duan Shujue was silent, with some guesses in his mind, but he didn't know whether to say it out loud or not.
Chi Xiaochi asked him, "Have you been awake all this time?"
Duan Shujue nods and writes, "I've heard some talk, they say ......"
Chi Xiaochi still closed his eyes, calm: "that I and vipers in collaboration with each other, private, plotting to kill the master? The evidence is all the disciples of the witnesses, as well as the fishing pool once had the physical evidence of the snake molt snake scales?"
Duan Shujue didn't dare to hide it and revealed the matter of the Durham Dan.
Although I couldn't see his face, I could tell just by reading between the lines that he had a guilty conscience.
Chi Xiaochi didn't mind this, and only gave a hmph when he was told, "The situation was such that if you didn't give him the Shark's Dan, both you and he would have to die. Besides, if there is any doubt in anyone's mind, you and Ye Jiming touching a corner of your clothes is a breach of custom and a wolfish act of adultery."
Duan Shujue wrote with a stroke of his pen, "It was my poor thinking. I should have thought to remove all traces of Brother Ye before I left the Fishing Light Pool."
Chi Xiaochi faded, "It's okay, I thought of it."
Duan Shujue: "?"
Chi Xiaochi said, "Those snake molts and scales are the things I specifically left for Yan Jinhua."
Duan Shujue : "......?"
Chi Xiaochi said, "Ah, when I did this, you were, by and large, tired from sword practice, asleep, and didn't see it."
Duan Shujue is not Ji Zuoshan, and Chi Xiaochi can't talk to Duan Shujue all the time, so there is inevitably some miscommunication.
In his last life, Duan Shujue only used his cleverness in his swordplay, but now that he has been re-lived, his mind is much clearer, and he has been intentionally accumulating experience, so without the need for Chi Xiaochi's explanation, he has guessed Chi Xiaochi's plan.
He did not point out, only gently wrote: "...... Mr. Chi, thanks a lot, let you this trouble."
Chi Xiaochi wanted to say that he was exempt and leveled off, but realizing that 061 was not here and no one would help him round out the joke, he naturally changed into the somewhat cold mask he had worn when he had not yet encountered 061: "You're welcome, you're on my mission."
Duan Shujue asked, "Then the Master disappeared, also ......"
Chi Xiaochi shook his head.
Wen Yujing's sudden disappearance in the Moxie Formation was indeed out of Chi Xiaochi's expectation.
Originally, he had already dug a good hole for Yan Jinhua and prepared a whole set of gifts for burying him alive and sending him a spade, waiting for Yan Jinhua to get into it.
He also did fall into the trap, happily holding those snake scales and snake molts, went to the red cloud son to offer the treasure.
Chi Xiaochi had privately deduced that once Yan Jinhua publicly denounced him, that would be the end of him.
If the plan goes well, he can keep this Wang Ba calf in the world for the rest of his life.
These days, Yan Jinhua is basically in control of all the demons that he has been jumping up and down.
But no matter how he counted, he did not realize that Yan Jinhua would have the ability to make Wen Yujing disappear.
However, if you think about it differently, it makes sense.
If, if, he's not wrong in his thinking ......
Wen Yujing, is cat-bodied with blue pupils and pure white.
Boss, it's Panther, blue pupils, pure black.
Both are felines with echoing body colors and similar habits.
Chi Xiaochi vaguely remembered that in the previous world, Gu Xinzhi had said that he had seen a man in Ding Qiuyun's tent.
061 also recognized the man as himself.
If he can take form in all worlds, then the people he met earlier and thought were arranged by the Lord God ......
Gan Yu and Gan Tang in the world of horror, Blue in the world of mecha who claims to find himself everywhere, Dong Feihong in the world of skating. ......
Dong Feihong and Gan Tang, in turn, have the exact same craftsmanship as Lou.
He remembers that Mr. Six said that he was formatted more than two years before he met himself, coinciding with the time when he mistook Lou's resurrection and was "deceived".
Originally, all kinds of information intertwined in one place, he did not think about it, but did not dare to think too much too deep, lest he gave himself hope, but in the end it is just a basket of water.
The clues accumulate and become a tangled mess.
Now, it was as if he had found the threads of the mess, and with one pull, the whole situation was broken.
Chi Xiaochi couldn't help but wonder if she would really have such good luck.
Does he deserve such good fortune.
When Duan Shujue did not receive a response from Chi Xiaochi, he quietly harnessed his chi to warm his body.
He wrote on the floor, "Mr. Ikari, are you cold, your body keeps shaking."
Chi Xiaochi exhaled, "I'm okay. Nothing happened. ...... Those snake scales and snake molts are specially prepared by me."
Duan Shujue was a bit confused by his clueless words, "I know, Mr. Ikari, you said it earlier."
Chi Xiaochi propped her forehead with one hand, "...... Wait a little longer, I'll adjust a little."
Duan Shujue stopped talking and waited quietly.
After clearing his mind, Chi Xiaochi began to think again.
Wen Yujing's unexplained disappearance can be said to have disrupted his original plan.
Whether his disappearance was a deliberate maneuver by Yan Jinhua or another reason is not certain.
...... But in another dimension, is not yet another opportunity.
Chi Xiaochi asked, "What else happened after I passed out? What else do you know?"
Duan Shujue writes: "The disciples are still searching for the Master in the Hollow Mountain, and it is rumored that the Grandmaster's Uncle has also gone there. If we can't be searched, I'm afraid we will be put on public trial in a matter of days."
Wen Yujing was with Duan Shujue before he disappeared, and all the disciples who went to Hollow Mountain to lower the snake can testify to this.
Before Duan Shujue went into a coma, he was seen with a demon, holding Wen Yujing's blood-stained white robe.
Although the demon hit him with a slap, and then fled, but many people present smelled the venomous snake scent on his body, when Ren Tingfeng turned back, Red Cloud Zi only need to take out the original Yan Jinhua handed him the snake scales for comparison, it will not be difficult to make a judgment, this snake is the other snake, there is no mistake.
In this way, Duan Shujue can not say where Wen Yujing has gone, and must take the pot of heaven.
And in response to this, Ye Jiming may not be able to sit still.
Now that the situation in the mountain is unsettled, there is a high probability that he is out poking around, and if the results of the public trial come out, there is no guarantee that he won't go up the mountain to rob the prisoners.
Duan Shujue shared the same concern: "Mr. Ji, let's try to escape."
Chi Xiaochi: "Don't you want your reputation?"
Duan Shujue : "I'm afraid that Brother Ye is waiting impatiently and has come up the mountain to look for him."
Chi Xiaochi: "He is not a brainless man. Before everything is finalized, if he rushes up the mountain to rob you, he is not fighting himself and ruining your reputation. Even if he wants to rob a prisoner, it will definitely be after the results are out."
Being a pair of fugitive lovebirds with Ye Jiming may be no different, or even better, for Duan Shujue.
He had died in his last life in the midst of the public opinion of the Quiet Void Peak, and his feelings for the Quiet Void Peak might not be as deep as it should be, and a shark, living amongst the crowd, always had an awkward identity, and was inevitably criticized by others.
But that makes a big difference to Chi Xiaochi.
Duan Shujue may not want it, but Chi Xiaochi must give it.
To give Duan Shujue more options for his future, he has to get through this.
After the idea of escaping from prison was put to rest, Duan Shujue humbly asked for advice, "So, does Mr. Ikki have an idea?"
Chi Xiaochi simply said, "Wait."
Duan Shujue: "Until the end of the public trial?"
Chi Xiaochi: "No, wait for Wen Yujing to come back."
Duan Shujue : "But the Master is nowhere to be found ......"
Chi Xiaochi: "He'll be back."
What made Chi Xiaochi so sure was that he remembered something 061 had said to him.
"I trust you. Even without me, you'll be able to take care of him."
This means he probably expected this outcome.
But he seems to be letting it go, and even contributing to this outcome coming about, including taking Yan Jinhua to Shi Yushan, using psychic powers frequently in front of Yan Jinhua, and even violently beating Yan Jinhua the other day ......
Since he trusted himself to handle everything, it was only right that he should return the same trust.
That being said, 061 won't really keep him one.
Because he was that good at worrying.
Chi Xiaochi lay down with his clothes closed, his mind strangely quiet.
He's certainly not betting it all on 061.
Even if 061 is not Wen Yujing, even if he can't come back, he has the same way to use the previous set up to defend himself, even if he can't completely clear the suspicion, he can still drag Yan Jinhua into the water and muddy the water.
It was just that he harbored a hidden longing in his heart.
He once wanted to be Lou's neighbor for the rest of his life, and Lou promised him.
He had also been naïve enough to think that Lou had really come back to life and would meet him in that restaurant.
...... If it really is you, I beg you not to miss your appointment this time.
......
061, wearing a shock collar, was sent to a jail cell.
He obediently entered the cage and calmly communicated with the two investigators who had followed him, "Your employees, utilizing their seer abilities and operating in violation of the law, stole the original master's Qi Luck value, used it for their own purposes, killed the original master, and then withdrew, leaving behind nothing but a collapsed world, which is a complete deviation from the original purpose of your continuing to collect the world's Qi Luck value and maintain the system's operation. I don't think that a system with a long-term operation plan should tolerate such bad behavior."
"Okay, okay. These have been argued to a tee in your reporting materials." The male investigator said gently, "But you'll need to wait here for a moment."
"Your request is that the two systems not exist in the same dimension at the same time." 061 was equally gentle and unassuming, "Recycle your systems as soon as possible and I will be able to return."
The female investigator's tone was considerably better than earlier, "This is a big matter that could lead to the termination of our contract with the host, we need to consider and investigate it properly."
061 said courteously, "Then please hurry, will you. I don't want to stay here too long."
MALE INVESTIGATOR: "All we can say is try. It's part of our job description to make sure our employees are not stigmatized."
"In one day."
"I'm afraid that's a bit ......" said the female investigator, "Based on your charges, we'll need to look into earlier records, and if Host 199 is only a first offense, we'll only administer a warning. The process will take about a day or so. By the time the report is written and approved by your superiors, it will take as little as two days or as much as a work week."
"Suffer." 061 wasn't going to force the issue, "May I ask what the ratio is between the time here and the flow of time in the mission world?"
The male investigator thought for a moment, "One to two or so."
That means that one day here is two days outside.
He did some mental math and bent respectfully to the two investigators in his cell, "Thank you. As soon as possible, please. By the way, before you two leave, could you get me a glass of water?"
The two investigators looked at each other.
How ...... is it as if this is his home turf.
After the water was poured, the two investigators left while 061 picked up a random spot in the cell and sat down.
The two investigators had been much nicer since he had revealed himself, and his shackles had been removed, but the electronic handcuffs were still in place, and the shock collar around his neck had not been removed.
He splashed half a cup of water on the floor to make a makeshift mirror and examined it closely against the water.
The collar was made specifically to target the system, the voltage is not small, it can be manipulated from a distance, and it is a one-piece design, unless there is a controller to unlock it, forcing it to be removed will result in an extremely strong electric shock, which can cause unconsciousness, but never death.
061 leaned against the wall, checking the few items he had on him one way or another.
A Post-it note reminding myself to go to 023 and download a movie for Chi Xiaochi, a handkerchief, a peace knot, and nothing else.
He put his things away and looked around with his eyes up to see another system in the next cage.
He's wearing the same overalls as the systems here, but he's wearing the same collar as himself, hanging his head, holding a deck of homemade cards, playing golden hooky fishing with himself.
061 greeted politely through the railing, "Hello."
The system next door looked up with a lack of interest.
061 asked, "Playing cards?"
The system's eyes brightened steeply, "You would?"
061: "It was okay."
The system then gleefully sits over with the cards, "Open open open!"
061 played "Hoe-Down" with him, losing two games and winning one.
The other party, obviously an expert in this, smiled and said, "You're still good. I play cards so well that my coworkers don't play with me for fear of losing."
061 said, "You played better."
The other man gleefully collected the compliment and asked, "Let's play it another way. You pick this time."
061 picked Chameleon, winning two games and losing one.
This back and forth battle made the system more interesting.
He laughed, "Again and again and again."
061 said, "Yeah."
Six innings had passed, and the distance between the two had been drawn quite close in no time.
The system shuffled the cards while making small talk with him, "I heard you talking to the investigator, you're an alien system huh?"
061 answered truthfully, "Yes."
The other smacked his lips, "That's bad. You might be locked up here for a long time then. Our second boss hates alien systems, and your reports are bound to be held back unless they're urgent documents."
061 As if resigned to his fate, he said warmly, "Deal the cards. What ...... did you come in for?"
The other party was very unconvinced: "Gathering of people to gamble, repeated offenses."
061: "Yes?"
When the other met a good poker player, his autistic temperament was swept away, and he simply said, "We're very strict about the system over here. I suspect that old boy 277 is the one who victimized me."
061 nodded at the cards in his hand, "You guys have a grudge, huh?"
"He just doesn't like me." The other man was indignant, "Once I was confined, he took all the clients I brought with me."
061 "Huh?" Gave a cry of empathy, "That's too much. I've been reported before."
The other party instantly drew 061 as a confidant, "Really?"
"Yes, by the host."
The other man smiled badly, "It's a relationship problem, isn't it?"
"How can you think that?"
"Hatred out of love, don't all TV dramas act like this." The other party spoke eloquently, "Last time 277 ran into one, so scared that he fled back into the system space and didn't dare to go back, and was afraid that the other party would report him in a hurry. I laughed at him twice during the handover, I didn't expect him to be so vindictive that he dared to report me."
061: "Handover? Is it a duty handover?"
The other waved his hand, "No, it's a crossover point that leads to various worlds and goes to the host's side."
061 puts down a card, "Well, is it the same place I was escorted in?"
The other guy said, "Yeah. We'll just have that one handoff."
061 tossed his hand down, "Won."
The opponent took a look at the cards and wowed, "You're purposely talking to interfere with my train of thought, that's so bad."
061 smiled lightly, "Okay, that's off the table."
Unfortunately, the other guy was a mouthful, and was quiet for less than a moment before he started bleeping blah blah blah again.
"Gee, you played really well. I should be sad if you go back early."
061 said, "That depends on your boss."
The other party laughed: "Our boss is extremely lazy, he comes back to the office depending on his mood. Now 80% of him is out traveling."
061: "Yeah? Our boss will be in the office all the time."
Opponent: "That's very dedicated."
"So who handled my report."
"The reports on our side are all security systems, that is, our second boss is directly accepted. In your case, it should be a certain threat and harm to the host, right, our boss explained that if there is not a special situation, there is no need to care about the external system."
"A security system? We have it there, but the secret level seems to be too low, and it was breached a while ago."
"Our second boss who runs the security system is awesome." The other party's eyebrows fluttered, "He's very good at playing cards, but he's too busy to play with me. He knows mahjong, pai gow, everything. Hey, by the way, mahjong do you know."
061 didn't bat an eye, "No way. Just watched someone else play it."
The other person graciously said, "It's okay, I'll teach you."
061: "No mahjong tiles here?"
The opponent pointed to his head, "It's fine, I'll build a room and add your ID. we'll play in pairs."
061 looks a little hesitant, "Is that okay? I don't have networking capabilities right now."
"Oh yo." The other guy tapped his head, "I forgot, I'll tell you the networking code."
