Chapter 344 Safe House

Suburbs, Xu’s house.

The entire old house was silent, except for a man in black walking quickly towards the main house in the narrow corridor of the courtyard. He seemed to have some special abilities, as he made no sound when he walked.

In the study room that combines classical and modern styles, Xu Yan was leaning back in a chair, holding a jade goldfish ornament in his hand, and watching red and green undulating lines on the screen in front of him.

After hearing what the black-clad subordinate whispered in his ear, his calm expression was shattered.

"Gan Mi? What is he doing here?"

This guy consumed a pond of koi last time he came to a meeting, why is he here again?

Although it was a question, Xu Yan knew that he could not get an answer from his subordinates, so he slowly stood up and pushed the single-rimmed glasses on his nose.

The meeting place is in the reception room.

Unlike the large room used for mimics' meetings, this small reception room looked more elegant.

As soon as he entered the door, Xu Yan's cold expression began to smile again.

On the way, my subordinates reported that the other party brought some gifts when he came. Well, who doesn't like guests who bring gifts?

"Vice-President Gan, a rare guest."

Xu Yan walked very slowly and his tone was light.

"Come to think of it, since the deaths of Han Shi and Cen Jinyue, Vice Chairman Gan's overall ranking has now reached ninth place." After sitting down, he placed his palms on the table, tapping the table rhythmically with his fingertips.

Not long after the guild system was opened, the two big guys at the top of the list fell one after another.

In addition, as Gan Mi's strength continued to recover after he restored his memory, the rankings experienced a small earthquake and the rankings changed greatly.

Hearing this address, Gan Mi sat up straighter, his facial expression still indifferent, as if doing his job properly.

"eighth."

He first answered the question about ranking.

The two front-row players died, and all the subsequent players moved up two places. However, Gan Mi's special abilities and his precise control over his strength made his ranking rise exceptionally quickly, so much so that he squeezed out the Joker who was supposed to be ranked eighth.

As for the vice president.

Cen Jinyue died, and with the continuous reduction in staff, someone had to step up to take care of the chores. The previous people were unreliable, so the task finally fell on Gan Mi.

Then he spoke.

"A new round of special dungeon designation prompts has appeared. I want to come here to get some information about the past."

Unlike other mimics who regain their powers when they transfer bodies.

Gan Mi has lived as a human for a long time. Even after recovering his memory, the last round of the game seemed to be covered by a layer of gauze in his eyes. He can see it, but it is not clear.

"I'll have someone send you the information about the last round of games."

When talking about business, Xu Yan's teasing expression subsided a little.

After hearing Gan Mi's proper thanks, he tapped his fingers faster and asked casually.

"Have you decided which guilds to designate for this round?"

Xu Yan and Gan Mi were not very familiar with each other, but in his eyes, he had helped the other party, killed Chen Zhen, and erased the inseparable human emotions... Well, they were still quite familiar with each other.

Gan Mi, who was about to get up and say goodbye, was slightly stunned. He raised his head and stared at the other party's slightly familiar eyes. He frowned and thought for a while before answering, "First, get rid of the clown and the third party behind him."

The battle between the third-party forces and the Mimics has been going on for some time, and the forces represented by the Joker have indeed killed several core members.

Although the power currently displayed by the clown is not something to be feared by Gan Mi and others, the interference from unknown forces has still caused them some trouble.

As for the mad dog that ran away, he didn't even take it seriously.

In order to make her motive more convincing, Gan Mi explained in detail: "I'm not sure about the content of this special copy, but it is known that there is no limit on the number of guilds, so I plan to find out the guilds related to the clown first."

What he meant was that he would only designate these guilds this time and no others.

"If too many guilds are added, there will inevitably be variables... such as yin-yang contracts."

As he spoke, Gan Mi's mouth corners slightly raised.

He did not mention any specific names, but specifically pointed out the Yin-Yang contract. He glanced across the table, gazing up and down at Xu Yan's reaction to this.

As expected.

When the Yin-Yang contract was mentioned, Xu Yan's reaction was much greater than expected.

"Oh - that's right. What if I run into that smart kid and get cheated out of 80 million points again?" He stretched out his voice in a sarcastic tone, and there was a hint of gnashing of teeth at the end.

All the previous membership fees were paid by Xu Yan. He was usually stingy and felt terribly distressed when he lost three million points, let alone more than eighty million!

"It's better if I don't meet this kid... He actually dares to complain that it's not enough?" Xu Yan sneered.

Gan Mi thought of Xu Zhiyan's disgusted expression when he found out that the Utopia dues was less than 100 million points, and immediately put his fist to his lips to suppress his smile.

"Yes."

He agreed seriously.

Perhaps he couldn't help laughing and was noticed. Xu Yan raised his eyebrows, glanced at Gan Mi who was trying not to laugh, and his expression returned to normal.

"Forget it. That kid has been smooth-talking and cunning since he was young. If you meet him, you must cut off his tongue first and don't give him the chance to speak." After giving the advice, he took a sip of tea.

Gan Mi smiled and didn't answer, then stood up and said goodbye.

There were no mistakes during the entire conversation, except that when Gan Mi and Xu Yan were about to part ways, he suddenly stopped the other party.

"I thought you would suggest that you still specify krypton gold to change your fate this time."

Gan Mi lowered his eyes, speaking with hidden meaning.

Hearing the other party's temptation, Xu Yan shook his head and responded openly.

“He’s very special.”

"I have always been using the body of the same bloodline. There is no blood relationship between these humans. They will do anything for a deal. Of course, this is also the reason why I chose the Xu family back then..."

He seemed to be thinking of something very distant.

“Humans are weird.”

"The family that was about to fall was waiting for an heir with a talent for business, but unfortunately he was born too late."

Ambiguous interpretations are not clear.

But Gan Mi didn't ask any more questions, because he knew Xu Yan would not tell him more.

On the way back, the man in a suit rested his chin with the back of his hand, looked at the scenery on both sides of the road that was constantly receding for a while, then closed his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.

“…He’s very special.”

Gan Mi repeated Xu Yan's words in a low voice, but the meaning was unclear.

…

At the same time, inside the safe house.

After Xu Zhiyan finished reading all the extended memories, his face wrinkled and his disgust was evident in his words.

Well, he admitted that the little crybaby seemed to be him...

"Okay, okay, just think of it as me." Xu Zhiyan looked like he had lost all hope in life and accepted his disappeared past.

The ghosts and gods couldn't help but laugh at this forced speech.

Asa didn't say anything more and continued to integrate the information.

[Since Mimic No. 1 saw you very little, there is not much relevant information. However, I took screenshots and analyzed a few pictures of you crying, and it seems that you fake cry more often than you really cry.]

[Of course, by the time they are seven or eight years old, they can no longer tell whether the crying is real or fake.]

Asa's handwriting is cold, but as an intelligent AI, it is not stupid enough to think that Xu Zhiyan had a good childhood.

On the contrary, forcing a four or five-year-old to act realistically puts a lot of mental pressure on him.

"……Thank you for the compliment?"

Xu Zhiyan couldn't tell for a moment whether the other party was praising him or scolding him.

Never mind, just take it as a compliment to him.

The next scene is content that is rarely related to ghosts and gods. There is no video information, only a blurry screenshot.

Xu Zhiyan stared at it for a long time before he figured out that the picture showed the young boy Bai Jin standing in front of the door.

Although he has the same face as Young Master Bai, the temperament of the young boy Bai Jin in the photo is completely different. His eyes are very confused, and he looks more like a ferocious beast than a human being. His exposed body is covered with black writing, and the content is surprisingly similar to the writing on the talismans that bind ghosts and gods in the safe house.

Not only the arms and ankles, but even the face of the boy in the photo was covered with these black words.

Without waiting for Xu Zhiyan to ask, the ghost spoke calmly.

"It's the seal of the main system."

Although he did not remember any unpleasant past between him and the main system, he could recognize the handwriting on it at a glance.

[With the help of the main system, the mimics attempted to use the slices to obtain more power scattered in the dungeon by Mr. Ghost and God, and collect them.]

Asa added the following content.

This sentence contains a lot of information, but it also makes sense.

The power of ghosts and gods is very strong. These mimics alone cannot even defeat a slice, let alone capture them as thugs. The main system is the only one that can possibly control the slice... It seems that the control is not complete.

Xu Zhiyan's expression gradually became more serious.

The relationship between the mimics and the main system is very delicate.

It was previously known that the mimics and the main system were in a cooperative relationship, but later became antagonistic; according to the content of the ruins world, the ghosts and gods were very determined to eliminate the mimics; the mimics' transfer bodies required the bodies to be bound to the game system...

"Mimetics probably used to work for the main system."

He stroked his chin and made his guess.

"It seems that something happened later, causing the Mimic and the main system to break up... or the Mimic turned against us."

The ghost was stunned for a moment when he heard Xu Zhiyan's sudden excitement.

Xu Zhiyan stretched out his hand and turned the ring on his left middle finger, which turned into a golden round ring again. He said excitedly: "Although I don't know what the specific contradiction is, the situation is not as bad as we thought."

As long as there are cracks or contradictions among other forces, he will find loopholes to exploit.

"If the mimics were originally sharp blades cultivated by the main system, then the sharper they are, the more terrifying they will be when they backfire. I really hope that there will be a demand for weapons when the two sides fight." In that way, he can apply to become a supplier.

Perhaps because Xu Zhiyan's movement of turning the ring was too prominent, Asa suddenly called up a few more images.

There are only two people in several scenes.

One is Xu Zhiyan when he just entered the game in the early stage, and the other is the collector who sits behind the puppets and whose face cannot be seen.

[Asa recommends that you explore your relationship with the mimic Xu Yan. ]

[When the other party is thinking, his fingertips will subconsciously make a tapping motion, and you also had similar movements in the early stage. Asa thinks that you are likely to have been influenced by the other party in your youth——]

The writing suddenly stopped and Asa's panel shook.

After sending these messages, it felt a sudden pressure. In order to ensure the safety of its chip, it had to release more information quickly.

[Of course, after you have the ring given by Mr. Ghost, this little action while thinking disappears, and it is changed to touching the ring while thinking! ] It even uses exclamation marks, and the speed of writing has never been so fast.

After this explanation, the pressure from the ghosts and gods slowly subsided.

Xu Zhiyan, who was standing by, was unaware of this and was still watching the video with a frown on his face. He didn't seem to be affected at all. Asa was devastated.

It previously thought that even if the relationship between its two masters took a step further, there wouldn't be any significant changes in the way they got along... After all, Mr. Guishen was determined to maintain the image of a perfect lover in front of his heirs, and Mr. Xu was a money-loving person, and he was not insulated from the love-brain, so he basically wouldn't do anything too outrageous.

Careless!

For a moment, Asa couldn't even tell who the ghost was jealous of.

After listening to this, Xu Zhiyan raised his left hand, looked at the golden ring on it, squinted his eyes and looked very satisfied.

"It's not a big deal. I like the gift Bai Jin gave me."

Who doesn’t like giving gifts?

Of course he would rather touch the ring than banging on the table with his bare hands!

The ghost nodded slightly without explaining anything.

The two of them acted in perfect harmony.

Asa felt the temperature around him rise, and felt himself immersed in the sour smell of love.
