Chapter 202 Safe House

The bedroom on the second floor was not big, and the smell of ashes was entangled with the faint fragrance of shower gel.

Perhaps the ghost's voice was too gentle, so Xu Zhiyan did not come back to his senses for a moment.

After several minutes, the young man's slightly hesitant and questioning voice pierced the ambiguous and quiet atmosphere like a steel needle.

"You...you are not my uncle's relative, right?"

As soon as Xu Zhiyan opened his mouth, he gave Party A a super-high level of promotion.

He thought about it and couldn't remember having seen Bai Jin before, so he could only subconsciously classify him as a relative or friend.

"Um?"

The ghost was caught off guard, and he couldn't even immediately understand the other party's logic from Xu Zhiyan's words.

On the other side, Xu Zhiyan was still thinking about this possibility while supporting his chin.

"I'm only in my twenties, but I don't know how old you are. There shouldn't be any past or present lives in this world, so you might be my uncle or grandfather... The probability of this is relatively high."

The more he spoke, the more he felt that his guess was correct.

"I inherited the Yunshan old house. It was originally a family business, so rather than saying that you and I have a connection, it's better to say that you probably have a connection with my family."

As he spoke, Xu Zhiyan scratched his hair with a strange expression.

"After you regain your memory, will you say something like 'Actually, I held you in my arms when you were a child'?"

As a master of destroying the atmosphere with a very jumpy mind, he completely dispelled the original ambiguous and gentle atmosphere that was almost bubbling.

“…”

The ghost opened his mouth, but in the end no words came out.

He was sure that Xu Zhiyan's inference was wrong, and he knew clearly that his feelings for the young man in front of him were by no means kinship.

But the reasoning of his beloved seemed to make some sense...

It was clearly the first time that his desire for his missing memories was ignited, but he was severely traumatized by his incomplete memories. Guishen felt that it was a little early for him to confess these things.

I should wait a little longer until I get more memory fragments.

The lack of understanding of his beloved was already enough to give him a headache, and he didn't want Xu Zhiyan to look at him as a family member in the future!

Seeing Xu Zhiyan in his bathrobe with his mind in a mess and almost calling him uncle, the ghost quickly spoke up to interrupt his beloved's thoughts.

"Infinite Games have indeed existed for a long time, and I may also have existed for a long time, but this does not mean that we have never met before." He tried to convince Xu Zhiyan that the age difference between them was not that big.

"You may go back to the past in a certain copy and meet me at that time."

Meet, get to know each other, understand each other... fall in love.

The ghost didn't think that his surging emotions appeared out of thin air. He was almost certain that he and Xu Zhiyan must have had some past, but the young man now looked as if he had no idea, so he could only make the best guess.

Unexpectedly, Xu Zhiyan shook his head after hearing this, obviously not quite believing it.

"It seems that the time-reversal items in the dungeon can only go back to a very limited timeline. It's very short. The longest seems to be only ten years..."

He slowed his speech and rolled up the right sleeve of his bathrobe to his elbow, revealing the white bones embedded in the back of his hand.

"And I feel like you and I weren't the same kind of people before."

Assuming that this skeleton belongs to the ghost himself, then the warlike and crazy thoughts on it obviously mean that the other party was not a good person before he became a ghost, or before he was trapped in the safe house.

"I am an honest person. I usually avoid fights when I see them."

Xu Zhiyan smacked his lips, and then felt that he couldn't say anything final, so he finally changed the subject and said calmly: "But if I really meet you in a future instance, I will definitely not ignore you."

After saying that, Xu Zhiyan smiled, revealing a sly smile.

"Don't worry, I will look for you in the dungeon later. After all, we are partners, and I won't really abandon you."

The ghosts and gods were speechless for a moment.

He began to regret why he had just mentioned this possibility. Once Xu Zhiyan had a plan in mind, would the original encounter be ruined?

At this point, He could only change His perspective again, and try to guide His beloved to separate this relationship from that of family and friendship first.

"Perhaps your family once worshipped me..."

A lonely god and humans coming to offer sacrifices, although it sounds a bit strange, it is better than being relatives, right?

Unexpectedly, Xu Zhiyan burst out laughing after hearing this.

"Do you know how I got the title deed to the Yunshan old house? This haunted house had been gathering dust for a long time and passed through many hands in the family, and finally couldn't be sold."

There was a hint of mockery in his bright eyes.

"Of course, although it's not easy to sell, the house is big enough and the basic price is still there. This real estate certificate almost emptied my family's assets."

As he spoke, Xu Zhiyan placed his hand on Party A's arm, used the force to stand up, and stepped on the soft bed sheet, leaving an indented mark.

When he stood on the bed, he was almost as tall as the ghost, and the two of them were just at eye level.

"Bai Jin, what are you struggling with?"

His thin lips opened and closed slightly, and Xu Zhiyan rarely called out the name of ghosts and gods.

"What you got are just fragments of memory. No matter whether the past was good or bad, it is already in the past and cannot be changed."

He has never been one to dwell on the past, and he hopes the same is true for his client.

"No matter what our relationship was in your past, since we met again, we have a new future."

“To be my collaborator, you don’t need to cling to the past.”

Xu Zhiyan didn't understand why the ghosts and gods were desperately looking for traces of the past. This rather cautious behavior seemed incompatible with ghosts and gods.

But he knew that he needed to give the other person enough sense of security.

"My past wasn't great, so it's best if you didn't get involved. Of course, if your memory is complete in the future, I'd like to hear about your experience."

"But no matter what the past was like, now we only have new identities and new relationships."

After saying this, Xu Zhiyan probably felt that it was not firm enough, so he added another sentence.

"It doesn't matter if we can't get back the good and bad past. We have enough time now."

“The future is something with infinite possibilities.”

The young man's flamboyant voice echoed in the small bedroom. The light from the incandescent lamp above his head fell on him, making him look like he was glowing.

The ghosts and gods were silent.

He felt the soothing meaning in Xu Zhiyan's words, and also realized that he seemed to be overly pursuing past memories just now.

He was too eager to prove that he had a deeper bond with the person in front of him.

The ghost laughed, his voice low and elegant.

"You are right."

"I was too impatient."

No matter what the missing past is, it will not affect their current relationship. He and Xu Zhiyan already have the deepest bond in the world, and no one can separate them except death.

The owner of the safe house was appeased.

The atmosphere in the room calmed down again.

Xu Zhiyan reached out and patted Party A on the shoulder, then curled up the corners of his mouth and smiled.

"Put aside the memory issue, you need to help me with something more important now - help me recover my body."

He changed the subject and quickly moved on to the next topic.

"The wisdom teeth and the appendix don't matter...you have to think of a way for me with the gallbladder and the tail." He sighed, turned around, and simply took off his bathrobe and draped it over his arms.

Because he had already considered that Party A might need to intervene, Xu Zhiyan deliberately wore shorts on his lower body when he changed his clothes after taking a shower, so that he would at least look more normal when he took off his clothes and not look like a pervert.

We are all grown men, so it shouldn’t be a problem!

But this was a little too sudden for the ghosts and gods.

The naked young man had no fat on his back, especially the two beautiful dimples near his narrow waist, which almost made His eyes fall on them unavoidably.

He paused for a moment, his eyes moved down to the other's white fluffy tail on his tailbone.

Xu Zhiyan could feel Party A's gaze on him. He couldn't help but shake his tail, pursed his lips and spoke out what was troubling him.

"It's mainly because it's hard to put on pants, and this tail is very sensitive. It feels... um, weird to touch?"

He tries to be as direct as possible about his feelings and needs.

"Anyway, we have to find a way to get rid of it, otherwise it will be a hidden danger if left alone."

After saying this, Xu Zhiyan turned around hurriedly without waiting for the ghost to answer, and put on the bathrobe in his hand again.

Damn, he always felt that Party A couldn't help but come up and pinch it a few times out of curiosity. He had pinched the tail himself and it tasted so sour, so it was better not to do it again.

The trembling white tail disappeared from sight, and the ghost who was still hesitating whether to touch it suddenly regretted that he was too slow.

However, in order to maintain his image in Xu Zhiyan's mind, he did not rashly say anything more, but instead explained the rules.

“These all carry the power of rules.”

If it is just ordinary damage, there will be a corresponding status in the status bar. As long as you return to the shell and eliminate the corresponding status, you can fully recover.

Xu Zhiyan frowned and sat back on the bed.

"If I go for a transplant, will it be successful?"

"cannot."

The ghosts and gods gave the answer.

The lost organs are also surrounded by corresponding rules and forces. Even if the corresponding organ transplant is performed, it will eventually fail due to necrosis due to the conflict of rules.

Universal props in the world have always been so unreasonable.

Seeing the young man staring with eyes wide open and looking unacceptable, the ghost was a little amused and comforted him: "Others may be helpless, but you will not be affected."

The monsters carried back a large number of doors, windows, elevators and stairs from the copy because they were attached with the power of rules.

"Once they are integrated, we can extract the corresponding power of rules from them."

It was a coincidence. Once the rules were redistributed, the abnormality in Xu Zhiyan could be easily eliminated.

It was much more convenient than the previous time when he removed the mermaid's tail. Xu Zhiyan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Once a person enters a state of relaxation, he will inevitably feel tired.

Seeing that he began to yawn continuously but still looked like he didn't want to sleep and wanted to ask Qu Ji to get the account book, the ghost couldn't help but put his palm on the young man's forehead and said in a gentle voice.

"We'll talk about it tomorrow."

"Huh?" Before Xu Zhiyan could react, he felt a strong sense of sleepiness rising in his heart, and he fell asleep almost without holding on for a second.

The moment the young man fell backwards unconsciously, the snake's tail that had appeared out of nowhere and had been waiting for a long time, stuck to his back, slowly laid him flat, and even considerately covered him with a quilt.

The room temperature of the entire safe house has been adjusted to a temperature suitable for human survival, and the quilt is a bit thick.

Xu Zhiyan, who had fallen into a deep sleep, had just covered himself with the quilt for a short while before he turned over and hugged the quilt in his arms. He was sleeping soundly, and the half-exposed tail of his bathrobe, which was accidentally lifted up, was twitching. It was unknown what he was dreaming about.

The ghost took a few steps back and prepared to leave.

But just as He reached the door, He suddenly stopped, as if He had thought of something, and quickly turned back.

He stared at the tail that was shaking from time to time for a long time.

Oh, I really want to touch it.

In order to maintain his image just now, he did not show any intention to touch the tail, but now the other party has fallen asleep.

…It should be okay for Him to touch it to check the rules, right?

After finding a good excuse for his behavior, the ghost couldn't help himself in the end.

The furry white tail is soft and smooth, the fur grows very densely, and feels great to the touch. It shakes from time to time in the palm of your hand.

The ghost who originally just wanted to touch it lightly seemed to be bewitched, and the tip of his thumb fell on the skin connecting the tail and the young man's waist and hips, rubbing back and forth.

The next second, the young man who was originally sleeping soundly suddenly hunched up his body and curled himself into a ball. A short and ambiguous sound came out from his lips, causing the ghosts and gods to breathe heavier.

Seeing that Xu Zhiyan's exposed skin had turned a light pink and even his ears had started to turn red, the ghost gently loosened his hands.

He calmed down his good mood and frowned slightly.

This seemingly small tail is more complicated than imagined. It has a huge impact on the parasite. After just a pinch, Xu Zhiyan almost couldn't help waking up.

…

The next day, warm sunlight filtered through the gaps in the curtains and fell onto the bed, sprinkling between the black hair.

Xu Zhiyan was awakened by the sunlight.

Although I slept in the dungeon before, the sleep time was very short each time and I didn’t get enough rest. Now when I got home, I slept until noon, which was more than ten hours in total.

When he dazedly touched his phone to check the time, he almost couldn't recognize the number.

"...Eleven o'clock?"

He quickly sat up straight, his mind clearing up a lot.

Just when I was about to put my phone down, I was startled by the special reminder messages that kept popping up above.

"What the hell, what are these two talking about? How come it's 99+..."

Xu Zhiyan frowned and opened the small group he and Jiang Huai and Que Jinsheng were chatting in. He was instantly covered in a long string of Chinese curses.

[I am your father, Xu Ba Pi, what the fuck is going on? ? ? ? ]

[I am your father: I killed someone in my last life and I am your teammate in this life, right? I was wondering why you are so kind to suddenly give me 100,000 points, damn it...]

【Jin: What's wrong, Jiang? What happened? 】

[I am your father: [picture][picture][video]]

In response to Jin Sheng's questioning, Jiang Huaique released two pictures and a video.

The first picture is Xu Zhiyan’s transfer points record.

The second photo shows a skinny boy wearing thin short-sleeved shirt and shorts sitting under Jiang Huaiqie’s company building in the middle of winter.

In the video, the scene is very chaotic.

In the rest area of the office building that Xu Zhiyan had visited before, the photographer Jiang gritted his teeth and took a photo of a piece of paper with his company address written on it.

"Xu Zhiyan, my [beep——] second uncle, when you f*cking wrote a note to this kid, could you have asked for my home address in advance? These [beep——] people in the company all think this is my illegitimate child! How the f*ck could I have such a big illegitimate child?! Do these people have any shame?"

The video transmission came with a built-in harmony shield, so when Xu Zhiyan heard the news, his mind was full of mutes.

It’s a pity that Xu Zhiyan was still in bed at that time, sleeping soundly and didn’t see the message at all.

The follow-up is continuous, lasting to 99+.

But they were teammates after all. Jiang Huaiqiao and Jin Sheng knew that Xu Zhiyan was probably sleeping, so they didn't really call.

Now, two hours have passed since Jiang Huaique vented his anger unilaterally, and he has finally calmed down.

[The first person to make money in the dungeon: Good morning, my dear teammates! [heart.gif]]

[I am your father:? You still know how to reply to messages? ]

【Jin: [Xiaoyi laughs secretly.jpg]】

[I am your father: [picture] [picture]]

[I am your father: Where the hell did you pick up such a poor little creature? ]

Jiang Huaique didn't say much and just sent two more photos.

One photo shows Yu Xiu, still wearing simple clothes, sitting at the dining table in his home, staring at the delicious food in front of him.

The other photo shows the boy sleeping soundly in the guest bedroom, obviously after washing up.

[I am your father: Xu Baopi, please behave yourself. This kid told me that after he got the note yesterday, he had less than 100 yuan left. He took a bus and then a public bus, asking along the way to find my company...]

[The first person to make money in the dungeon: It seems that you two are getting along well. Do you want to be his father? ]

[I am your father: Are you sick? Why don't you let me be your father? ]

[The first person to make money from dungeons: This kid is in his third year of high school this year, and he will take the college entrance exam in half a year. When he wakes up, you can talk to him, ask about his situation, and try to arrange for him to transfer to another school.]

[I am your father: ...Fuck, fine.]

[Kim: High school? Then I might be able to help...]

No matter how poor you are, you cannot be poor in education.

Both Xu Zhiyan and Jiang Huaique have received formal education, and they sincerely feel that a child of Yu Xiu's age should go to school well.

By the time Xu Zhiyan had settled Yu Xiu's issue in bed with his phone in his hand, it was already noon.

In addition, the food photos released by Jiang Huai Que looked very tempting with their color, aroma and taste. He felt that if he didn't go out to find food, he would starve to death!

When Xu Zhiyan went downstairs, the hall of Yunshan Old House was in order.

Apart from the many signs of damage in the hall, all the miscellaneous objects of varying sizes had been put away.

The ghosts and gods were not around, and the lunch carefully prepared by the snail housekeeper had been placed in front of the low table where Xu Zhiyan usually sat.

Without that person who always exudes negative pressure, the atmosphere in the entire safe house is particularly relaxed and pleasant.

[Hi! Host! Good afternoon!]

The system is just short of making a brilliant appearance with its own background music.

"Yeah, okay."

While Xu Zhiyan was eating, he took out the contact and fiddled with it for a while, trying to figure out how to bind it.

[Host, host! We have nine keys! Have you decided where to open next?]

[Hehe~ There are still a lot of skill points this time! ]

[Host! You can now watch the live broadcast of the five-star copy! Do you want to go to other live broadcast rooms? ]

No one knows better than the system the joy of winning three levels in a row in the safe house.

It has been in a highly excited state since it came back yesterday, and it wants to let the whole world know that it has been upgraded again, to level three!

Xu Zhiyan was also happy in his heart. This time, he should be able to make good use of the Nightmare Community.

"Wait for Bai Jin to come back and discuss whether to start the technology tree plan ahead of schedule."

If used properly, the safe house will not only sell supplies to the outside world, but also be able to make and sell props.

Even the highest-level supplies are not that expensive, after all, they are consumable products. However, props, even low-level props, are much more expensive than supplies.

And since it is a development in science and technology, he can add the condition of mental power threshold in the production, so that all the props made can be used by him!

Thinking of this, Xu Zhiyan almost laughed out loud.

When the ghosts and gods stepped out of the void, what they saw was that the corners of their successors' mouths were raised to the sky.

"What are you thinking about? So happy?"

Xu Zhiyan finished the remaining rice in two or three bites, then wiped the corners of his mouth with the handkerchief handed over by the little monsters waiting to clean up the dishes.

"I'm thinking about the tech tree... let's not talk about that for now."

He stood up, took out the contact, clicked on the binding interface, pointed to the line of small words on it, and sighed.

[Binding Tips: This item can only be bound once, and must be bound to the most important person of the holder. If the binding fails, the item will become invalid. ]

"You only have one chance."

This is where Xu Zhiyan hesitated.

The contact person can only be bound to the most important person, and the most important person is a very vague judgment.

He couldn't guarantee that binding anyone would be successful at once.

If the item is scrapped due to binding issues, wouldn’t that be a huge loss?

Unexpectedly, after listening to this, the ghost slowly walked forward, bent down, took the contact from Xu Zhiyan's hand, and looked at the binding requirements.

After a moment, a new prompt popped up on Xu Zhiyan's panel.

【Congratulations on being bound by the contact! 】

He stared at the ghost in a daze. He hadn't done anything yet, so how come he was suddenly tied up?

"How did you do that?" Xu Zhiyan was puzzled.

The ghosts and gods laughed.

"Communicators are two-way binding."

A crack appeared in the void before him, and he casually threw the contactor in, as if he was doing something insignificant.

No matter whether he is the most important person in Xu Zhiyan's heart, to him, the other party is irreplaceable.

Xu Zhiyan suddenly understood what the other party meant.

What the other party said just now was too easy to be misunderstood. He almost thought that Party A was interested in him. Fortunately, he remembered that the other party was a left-behind vase with no memories. But now her mind is full of him, right?

Xu Zhiyan suddenly stood up and said in a firm tone.

"Don't worry, I will never let you down!"

Although he is a bit of a spendthrift, Party A is not a bad person. He is a conscientious businessman and will definitely fulfill the other party's wishes!

The ghost stood there in a daze.

He felt that Xu Zhiyan seemed to understand something, so he answered like this, but why was his tone not right...

But looking down at the young man who was full of fighting spirit, He finally gave up thinking and felt that no matter what the other party said, He would like it.
