Chapter 389: Rusty City Strange Stories

Without Xu Zhiyan's knowledge, the live broadcast room had already experienced several rounds of screen swiping.

[What the hell! Why is the screen black again? ]

[What I'm saying is, isn't the scope of the black screen a bit too large this time? The entire factory is down! ]

[I went to Xiao Zayu's live broadcast room and saw that his live broadcast room was also black.]

[@Main system, two hours have passed, can this sudden black screen situation be improved? ]

[Wow, I really want to know what Xiao Baiwan is doing! ]

The audience was relatively calm.

It’s a pity that the person being talked about is not very emotionally stable.

After hearing Bai Jin's teasing answer, Xu Zhiyan was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head, as if he just realized that he had been caught talking nonsense.

In fact, he took advantage of the time when he lowered his head to look at the ring on the middle finger of his left hand inconspicuously.

At just one glance, Xu Zhiyan's brows furrowed.

The situation is a bit strange.

In the past, as long as you got close to the slice, the emotions belonging to the ghosts and gods in the ring would be transmitted to the slice, causing the other party to be affected by the emotions brought by the original body.

Normally, this process is quick and extensive.

However, the golden light spots in the ring were decreasing at an unusually slow rate today. According to Bai Jin's condition, the other party should have been waiting outside for a while...

Something is wrong.

If other slices were used, the ring would have completed its mission and returned to its original color long ago.

Xu Zhiyan secretly perked up his alertness.

The more human-like Slice behaves, the more power he possesses. The plan was launched last night, and this guy showed up so quickly.

Through a brief encounter, it is not difficult to judge that this time the captain is not only like a fish in water in the copy, but is also little affected by the main body. For a moment, it is impossible to guess which part of the ghost this is... Could it be the heart?

Countless thoughts flooded into his brain, and before Xu Zhiyan opened his mouth, he heard Bai Jin's words.

"Look up."

The tone was relatively gentle, but the content was full of strong and irrefutable commands.

Xu Zhiyan looked up timidly and inadvertently took a few steps back, as if he was frightened.

Unfortunately, before he could start to show his acting skills, the man sitting on the chair laughed softly and revealed his cards directly.

"Anyone who dares to find me will not be afraid of me."

He said it very tactfully.

However, when Xu Zhiyan heard the content, it translated into "That's enough, stop acting."

However, after hearing this, Xu Zhiyan just bit her lips lightly and still looked over with a frightened look.

He needed to confirm whether the slice in front of him did not believe a word of his performance, or was half-believing and half-doubting and trying to trick him.

The atmosphere in the room became depressing again.

A thin young man wearing only a white bathrobe stood in the middle of the room. He didn't have time to put on his shoes and his feet stepped on the cold floor. His round toes were a little red and he looked pitiful. At this moment, he was surrounded by a group of tall and strong NPCs in uniforms. He did feel a little helpless.

However, apart from Bai Jin's strong gaze, Xu Zhiyan did not feel that there were any other NPCs looking at him.

The men around him seemed to be very afraid of the slices that appeared this time.

Xu Zhiyan was sure that his acting skills were perfect at this moment, but this time the slice seemed to really not believe him...

Bai Jin lost his patience.

"I thought we could communicate more openly." He clapped his hands.

The next second, the door of the room was pushed open.

“Boom!”

Two men came in and threw Qi Shanren, who was tied up tightly with ropes, to the ground.

Someone took away the cloth stuffed in his mouth. Qi Shanren, who was soaked in sweat, was breathing heavily and his body was still shaking. Only when he looked at Xu Zhiyan was his eyes firm.

"Boss Xu...Boss Xu...I didn't say anything!" The trembling voice revealed Qi Shanren's fear.

Xu Zhiyan instantly suppressed his previous timid expression and turned to look at his client. Fortunately, although Qi Shanren was soaked, he did not seem to have any scars on his body.

Seeing his temporary partner being arrested, Xu Zhiyan stopped probing, his eyes became clear and his voice became much deeper.

"What did you do to him?"

Damn it, if Slice really injured his client, how could he justify the money he collected before!

Unexpectedly, Bai Jin also frowned.

His expression looked even more surprised than Xu Zhiyan's.

Turning his head to face the two men who carried Qi Shanren in, Bai Jin hesitated for a moment and said in a cold voice: "Did they torture you?"

When the two men heard this, they shook their heads like rattles.

"No! We didn't do anything!"

"We just followed the captain's instructions to detain the man, and then casually asked him a few questions about the file."

"Captain, we really didn't do anything!"

"He is too timid. You can't blame us, Captain..."

The originally tense atmosphere was broken by the two people's repeated explanations.

Bai Jin's brows did not relax. He had never seen such a timid person. Maybe there was one, but the words this guy said after seeing Xu Zhiyan seemed to be filled with endless grievances.

Cowardly yet brave, very... unique?

He looked at Xu Zhiyan again and found that the young man who had been testing him just now had his eyes closed and his palm against his forehead, as if he was in a dilemma.

If Slice hadn't been here, Xu Zhiyan felt that he would start roaring right now.

It's too shameful to watch! It's too shameful to watch!

At first he thought Bai Jin had attacked Qi Shanren with some kind of mental attack, which had caused his lovely client to sweat profusely.

After all this time, it’s just a normal inquiry from two minions?

He now wanted to rush up and shake Qi Shanren's shoulders, telling him that we players can use props to attack or resist when facing non-factory NPCs!

At this time, Qi Shanren, who was lying on the ground, also realized that he seemed to have made a mistake.

He wanted to explain something, but before he could open his mouth, Xu Zhiyan glared at him and silently said "shut up", and he immediately quieted down.

Yeah! It must be true that Boss Xu told me to shut up! I feel relieved as long as I see Boss Xu!

Thanks to this misunderstanding, Xu Zhiyan and Bai Jin put aside the content of their previous exploration and quickly moved on to a new topic.

"Captain Bai, I think we can put the matter between us aside for now. There are bigger problems that need you to solve." Xu Zhiyan immediately put on an expression of concern for the country and the people, and talked about the purpose of calling for slicing this time.

"Something went wrong with the rules of Rusty City. The entire city has almost become a dead city."

He pointed down at his feet.

"But there are living people who need your help now, and there is a more powerful monster in the city waiting for you to destroy it! I believe that as the head of the rescue team, you will not sit idly by."

After saying this skillfully, Xu Zhiyan patted his chest.

It seemed like just an unintentional movement of his hands, but in fact he was silently comforting the ghosts and gods, telling them that there was something strange about the slice in front of them and not to act rashly.

It is probably because you have a mutual understanding with your loved one.

The horn ornament, which had just heated up slightly, gradually cooled down.

Xu Zhiyan's heart fell back into his stomach.

The horns do contain the consciousness of ghosts and gods, but they must be summoned with a carrier. The slice in front of him looks like he has normal intelligence but unknown abilities, so it would not be a good thing to expose it rashly.

"You're done?"

Without waiting for new words, Bai Jin raised his chin and asked.

"Um."

Xu Zhiyan answered honestly.

He called Slice over not only to collect Party A's fragments, but also to use him to eliminate the monsters in the city.

Fighting by himself is time-consuming, laborious and costly. Every item in his hand is bought with money, especially the heavy firepower, which is charged by the minute. Now that he has free combat power, he might as well use it.

Seeing Xu Zhiyan nod, Bai Jin put on a sarcastic smile on his face as if he had heard something funny.

"You don't really think we're a charity?"

He was still sitting there, but a faint sense of oppression seemed to spread all around him. Qi Shanren, who was lying on the ground, began to sweat again.

"Xu Zhiyan, you used 'what you want' to lure me in, and even said... that your office romance was just for the monsters in this city?" Bai Jin seemed to have heard something funny.

Xu Zhiyan's heart skipped a beat.

The ring was only a little bit lacking in color, and it seemed that the emotion it conveyed could not affect Slice's consciousness and judgment.

Tsk, that's bad.

What he wants is something the other party has been pursuing desperately. It seems a bit unfair for him to use this thing to lure people in and then let them go disappointed.

The plan was a little off. A slice that couldn't completely surrender out of love was much harder to fool than expected. However, when I thought about the fact that the other party concealed the nudity/chat content when he spoke, and the other NPCs all lowered their heads and dared not look...

Before Xu Zhiyan could say anything, Bai Jin on the opposite side raised his hand, and in the blink of an eye, slender black shadows emerged from the darkness. They took the hemp rope from the NPC's waist and quickly tied up the young man who was standing upright.

"Take him away for interrogation." Bai Jin's tone was very cold.

"Why are you here? You are obviously not from this world, so why are there archive records?"

He was very calm.

Even though he suppressed other emotions in his eyes when he looked at the young man, Bai Jin still chose the most correct approach at the first moment.

Resisting the urge to summon items to attack, Xu Zhiyan behaved extremely submissively.

When he stepped back just now, he found that the closer he was to the slice, the faster the flow rate of the light spots in the ring would be. He only took two steps back and the light spots on the ring almost stopped moving.

It wasn't until the black shadow faded away that he raised his head and looked at Bai Jin and answered calmly.

"Captain, let's make a deal"

"You get rid of the monsters in the city and take all the survivors in the factory away from here to a safe place..."

As he spoke, he closed his eyes and took several steps forward.

Thanks to these shadows, maybe because he didn’t resist, the shadows only tied up his upper body, and his legs were still able to move flexibly.

"In exchange, I can tell you a little bit of information I know about 'the thing you want', but I have other requests besides that."

He paused for a moment, walked up to Bai Jin, leaned over to his ear and whispered.

"In fact, I have admired the captain for a long time."

The rope as thick as a finger tied around his body made Xu Zhiyan's waist look even thinner, as if he could hold it with a closed hand.

"So if the captain wants to let others interrogate me, I will be very sad."

He leaned very close, his tone was soft, the hot breath hit the man's eardrum, his lips inadvertently brushed the tip of the other's ear, and a few strands of soft black hair inevitably rubbed against Bai Jin's face.

"Captain, would you like to interrogate me in person? Of course, you can decide the location, and we can communicate more openly."

"Here, or take me back... or to the bed."

Until now, the other NPCs didn't dare to look up, fearing that the slice wasn't as calm as it appeared. No matter what, they would use the ring to affect the slice first!
