Chapter 5: Light Brain, Lord God, Lord God System.

Having washed the dishes, Chi Xiaochi did not leave the kitchen and continued to summon the system, "System, system."

The system says, "No rat poison for sale."

Chi Xiaochi: "......"

The system added, "Nor do they sell sleeping pills or paraquat."

Chi Xiaochi consoled him, "Don't be afraid, I just came to ask about the hypnosis card."

SYSTEM: "...... How long and what effect?"

Chi Xiaochi: "How long has it been there and what are the effects?"

The system said, "Like other cards, hypnosis cards are divided into three grades: low, medium and high. The difference is the difference in the duration of use. The low grade lasts for 60 minutes, the medium grade lasts for 90 minutes, and the high grade can be customized to last, but the upper limit cannot exceed 6 hours."

"Enough." Chi Xiaochi said, "Two, one high end and one low end."

"Fourteen o'clock."

Chi Xiaochi didn't hesitate: "Tui."

The system, however, didn't exchange it directly, "What do you need the Hypnosis Card for?"

Chi Xiaochi Straight to the point: "I'm worried about Yang's rut."

The system expresses understanding.

Chi Xiaochi was the eleventh host he had taken. Almost everyone had raised similar concerns with the 061 system during the first world.

After all, in the various world lines, most of the original owners have had relationships with the mission subjects, and the rations still have to be paid.

The first ten executives that the system has brought in have all circled around the mission object, basically never departing from the original plot of the script, and will only appropriately circumvent the evil plot on the basis of the original script, show a hundred kindnesses to the mission object, and fake their deaths to get out of the world when the mission object's goodwill reaches 100.

It is often at such times that the remorse values of the task subjects arrive at their peak.

Of all the executives, Chi Xiaochi was the only one who dared to go off script and go solo in the first world.

But when it came to the issue of public rations, he was extremely adamant and amazingly stubborn.

The system said, "We offer a free extraction service." It is to draw the host's divine sense and perception out of the shell when having sex, minimizing the discomfort of the executor.

Leaning against the refrigerator, Chi Xiaochi pinched the bridge of her nose gently, "It's not about that."

The system thought of a possibility, "...... You have a requirement for body position?"

Chi Xiaochi gave a harrumph, "I have demands on people."

System: "Yang Baihua ......"

Chi Xiaochi cocked her head, "Don't make me insult him."

The system understood and said, "Good. Then, we'll use a low-level hypnosis card for Yang Baihua today?"

"Use both." Chi Xiaochi, however, said, "Use the low level first to put him to sleep; it's nighttime anyway, and no surprise, he'll stay asleep."

The system asks, "What about the other one?"

Chi Xiaochi replied, "I use it."

The system lurched.

Chi Xiaochi closed his eyes and used Cheng Yuan's face to show Chi Xiaochi's smile, flirty, careless, and ever so slightly self-deprecating, "...... Or do you sell sleeping pills here?"

The system cashed in two hypnosis cards as requested by Chi Xiaochi and used them successfully.

After sending Yang Baihua to sleep, Chi Xiaochi set a time limit of six hours and fell into a deep sleep.

After he fell asleep, the system sent an application signal to the main god system, "System number 061, applying to log into the main god system."

A few seconds later, a mechanical voice sounded, "Number 061 has landing privileges, application approved."

Immediately, the originally stable data flowed wildly and irregularly, like a waterfall, like starlight.

The waterfall of starlight was gradually filtered out of its glory and composed into a solid body.

Under a curtain of light, a man in white and black pants took shape, standing barefoot in a vaulted hall, surrounded by people dressed like him.

A few people recognized him and greeted him familiarly, "061, back. Still bringing in new hosts?"

061 replied, "Uh-huh."

"Didn't you just finish the last one? It's only been two cosmic days, don't you want to take ten days and half a month's vacation to treat yourself?"

"No time." 061 replied.

The 666 who asked the question was a newcomer and sniffed in confusion, "'No time'? What time are you in a hurry for?"

061 didn't answer.

He stared at the ground in some confusion, as if struggling to recall something.

Another young man with a deep nose and deep eyes on the side seemed to understand, frowned slightly, and gave a wink to 666, turning to ask 061, "What are you doing here?"

061 said, "I'm coming for 023."

"He recently moved offices, so head southwest and look for room 1008."

061 laughed.

The 061 that took shape was an elegant and gentle young man with a straight body, starry eyes, and a smile like the early sun shining on the snow, very affable, "Thanks."

He bid farewell to his acquaintances and walked out a long way, and still heard 666 complaining, "...... Don't mention that host of mine. What else is good about that kind of man besides having a big machine? Deadly picking at him and not letting go, there aren't enough condoms in the inventory for him to use!"

The man found room 1008 in the southwest, knocked on the door, and it took a long time to hear a diffident "Come in."

He pushed his way in.

The moment he pushed the door open, the data in the room went into a loading state.

The surrounding light flow dispersed and coalesced again, synthesizing into a huge human brain-like light brain, and upon closer inspection, the flowing neurons and wriggling synapses inside were as huge as a sea of data trajectories.

This is the "light brain" of the Lord God System, which connects the databases of various world lines.

A young man with a snow-white complexion sat in front of a huge light brain, with two thin, silver-white data cables on the table in front of him. He was playing Tetris with an old plug-in game, his whitish fingernails skipping skillfully over the red and green buttons.

He suffers from albinism and his hair and skin are a shade of pale.

061 said, "023, I'm coming."

023 didn't raise his head, and oh, "It's you again."

He managed to eliminate a few lines, and a dripping elimination tone came from the console.

061 stepped barefoot on the matte porcelain tiles and waited quietly for him to finish the game.

023 asked him as he played, "What are you doing here?"

061 said, "I'd like to get down to a couple of movies."

023 holds the console, "Meh."

061: "......"

He maneuvered the console with one hand, while with the other he picked up the data cable on the table and aimed the port at his temple.

The thin plug of the data cable changed form as it neared his temple, and a spider web of thin silver threads extended from the tip, tangled and burrowed into his skin, connecting directly into his brain.

Soon, thick curtains of digital light flashed through 023's eyes.

023 leered, "Fans."

061: "......" God TM Tomodachi.

He replied, "Chi Xiaochi was in the movie."

The youth was fully absorbed in playing the game when he heard those eight words and looked up as if he had seen a ghost.

His finger strayed and pressed the downward-facing accelerator button, and by the time his hands were scrambling to try and save it, GAME OVER had popped up on the screen.

023 cursed and flipped the console upside down on the tabletop, looking to 061 with his arms wrapped around him, "What's the point of playing your new host's movie?"

061 said, "And all his information."

"Ask you, what do you need these for?"

061 said, "Deepen your understanding to facilitate your mission."

023's snow-white eyebrows clamped tightly together, seemingly dissatisfied: ''061, how many times have I reminded you not to get too close to the host. You haven't seen how dirty the human heart is. If you don't want to be formatted once more, be obedient and don't break the rules set by the host god."

061 knows 023 means well.

While taking an eighth host, 061 was reported once by his own host and was punished with a formatting.

After being forcibly formatted, 061 forgot a lot of things, even the reason why he was reported, and the database was even swept away, retaining only some basic data about past missions he had performed.

This didn't affect 061 too much, he was still the employee of the year within the system, and his diligence and productivity called the rest of the system to shame.

It's just that even he doesn't remember why he's being so diligent.

It was as if he was rushing to an appointment, looking for someone, but the information about who that person was by name and where he was going to find them had turned into broken data garbage.

061 said, "This is the fifteenth time you've reminded me of this."

"If you don't want to be destroyed, do your mission properly." 023 said, "...... Sixteen times, to give you an auspicious number. You're welcome."

061 touched the tip of his nose good-naturedly, "Has the movie downloaded yet?"

023: "...... is down. Go check your mailbox."

"That fast?"

023 tapped his forehead and was silent for a moment, "I've downloaded it before, it's still archived in the database."

061 Curious: "Huh?"

"There was a person in the system who came from the same world line as Chi Xiaochi, and was his brainwashed fan." 023's voice had a hint of hatred in it, "He ordered all the movies Chi Xiaochi starred in with supporting roles, and he's counting on him for the rest of his life, he's no good."

Without giving it a second thought, 061 took a cassette out of his pocket and tossed it to 023.

"Pacman Wizard, came out in 1983." 061 said, "Thanks for the help."

023 was like a treasure, wiping the cassette with his cuff, and trying desperately to hold back the smile at the corners of his mouth so he wouldn't look too happy, "Count your conscience."

061 said, "Do me another favor."

With the gift, 023 was a little happier: "What?"

By the time 061 stated his request, the veins on 023's forehead blossomed, "Do you realize how troublesome this is?!"

061 bowed slightly in request.

For the sake of the cassette, 023 waved his hand carelessly, "Got it, got it. Receiving won't be a problem, but this is too difficult to locate, and I definitely won't be able to give it to you within today."

"A couple days would be fine."

023 unplugged the data cable from his own brain and picked up the console again, "Alright, retire from the court with nothing to do."

061 smiled gently, "By order."

Walking to the door, 061 stood still and looked back to ask, "By the way, 023, is there any rat poison in the main vault."

023's eyebrows jumped, "Huh?"

061 coughed, "...... I'm just asking."

Chi Xiaochi slept all night while the system watched a movie all night.

After the effects of the hypnotic card wore off, Chi Xiaochi woke up on time.

The system looked at the time, "It's only five o'clock, it's still light, so you can sleep a little longer."

Chi Xiaochi got up from the bed, leaving Yang Baihua alone in the bed, and went to sit down on the piano stool in the living room, "I can't sleep when I'm awake."

With this piano, the already small living room area is even more cramped.

Chi Xiaochi strokes the lid of the piano, lost in thought.

The system took it upon itself to talk to him and said, "There's no rat poison in the general store."

Chi Xiaochi lifted the lid of the piano: "...... You remember, I'm just kidding."

He silently strokes the black and white keys, feeling the creative impulse and unceasing inspiration that remains within him, a unique treasure that belongs to Cheng Yuan, but which Yang Baihua deprived him of, and lightly dismissed as too cumbersome.

"A mouthful of rat poison and it's all over, it's cheap." Chi Xiaochi said, "What Cheng Yuan went through, wouldn't it be unfair if he didn't go through it himself."

When Yang Baihua woke up, he wanted to pull Cheng Yuan to cozy up for a while, but he got up a little late and didn't have time to rub his ears, so he just hurriedly hugged Cheng Yuan and carried his computer out the door.

Before leaving the house, he took away the keys to the new car and said, "I'm going to meet Party A at noon, so don't come to bring me food. I'll bring back food in the evening and buy you your favorite marinated chicken livers. By the way, don't forget to eat breakfast."

The good thing about Yang Baihua was that he was really gentle and never got angry with Cheng Yuan.

During the years of Cheng Yuan's depression, he continued to spoil Cheng Yuan in a good-natured manner, being extremely patient with him, as if nothing could make him really angry.

--To put it bluntly, as long as Cheng Yuan's interests don't conflict with his family's interests, he can continue to be so gentle.

Yang Baihua went out the door in front of Chi Xiaochi, and Chi Xiaochi followed him out the door.

He checked the route in advance and got on the bus to Cheng Jian's company.

Cheng Yuan indeed dizzy bus, the bumps along the way make him very difficult, holding the handrail can not even speak.

As soon as the bus arrived at the station, he rushed out and held onto the nearest trash can, dry-heaving and puking so hard that his little face turned white.

The system had wanted to regulate it for him, but suddenly thought of 023's reminder, so it slightly stayed its hand and only helped him lower his heart rate, which was used to alleviate the discomfort within his body.

Chi Xiaochi easily straightened his back, wiped away the tears in the corner of his eyes, took out his cell phone, faced Cheng, who occupied an entire office building, dialed a phone number, and smiled with reddened eyes and a small white face, "...... Brother, it s me. You have time to come down for a trip."
