Chapter 390: Rusty City Strange Stories

Well aware of the principle of playing hard to get, Xu Zhiyan stood up immediately after speaking those threatening words. He unconsciously turned his wrists that were bound by ropes, and his expression returned to its original serious look.

"Of course, I know the captain is suspicious of me now, and you don't believe anything I say."

My hands were tied behind my back so I couldn't check, and I didn't know if the emotions in the ring flowed faster after I got closer.

Xu Zhiyan felt that Bai Jin's breathing became heavier, and he was a little confused.

How can this slice be tolerated? It's still sitting...

As if he thought of something, his eyes swept across the other person's waist and crotch without any concealment, and he narrowed his eyes and smiled with a knowing look.

Are you standing still like a mountain because you're afraid of being discovered by him?

"Captain, you can choose the sentences you like to believe. People can't always be sober, right?"

Perhaps because he noticed the changes in the slices, Xu Zhiyan's words became frivolous again.

But Bai Jin, who was sitting opposite him, still had a sullen look on his face, as if someone owed him millions.

The conversation between the two was real and vague. Some parts were heard by the surrounding NPCs, while some were not. However, there were always people who were curious.

An NPC standing in the corner of the room seemed to finally lose patience and wanted to secretly look up.

However, when he raised his head quietly in the corner, thinking that no one could notice, he happened to meet Bai Jin's sharp eyes who turned around and looked at him.

The quiet atmosphere was suddenly broken because Xu Zhiyan kept silent.

"Captain... I, I don't want to look at him... I just, my neck is uncomfortable, I, I..."

He fell to his knees with a thump, his expression full of fear.

Bai Jin still didn't speak.

He turned back without saying a word, his eyes falling on Xu Zhiyan again.

A man standing on his right who was suspected to be a more senior subordinate explained repeatedly: "Boss, that's a newcomer who was just promoted. Do we need to deal with him?"

Without waiting for Bai Jin to react, Xu Zhiyan took the opportunity to exclaim in surprise.

"Are your rules so strict? Why not just follow me? I'll double the salary Captain Bai gives you!"

It wasn't that he wanted to cause trouble, it was just that the white embers in front of him were as cold and hard as sitting on an iceberg.

She was clearly reacting to his action, but she pretended to be indifferent. This first meeting was a bit unexpected, and Xu Zhiyan had not made any preparations. There was no point in continuing the stalemate with the other party being unmoved.

Change must be sought to find the flaw in summoning ghosts and gods.

As if he had seen through Xu Zhiyan's thoughts, Bai Jin gently waved his hand, signaling his men to solve the problem themselves.

The subordinate understood what he meant, but before leading his men away, he looked at Bai Jin cautiously.

"Boss, why don't we hand these two people over to..."

He thought that if he just wanted to get information from the two of them, then just leave it to them. They had plenty of means and there was no need to remain in such a stalemate.

But before he could finish his words, Bai Jin shook his head.

"Take them down and lock them up first."

Finally calming down, he stood up and walked slowly to Xu Zhiyan. The height difference brought him a huge sense of oppression.

Reaching out and pinching the young man's chin, Bai Jin looked at the other's face that made him extremely fascinated, and exerted slight force with his fingertips, as if he was restraining something.

"I won't mind Rusty's business."

"Everything has its cause and effect. It has its own things to do. Even if all the people in this world die, it has nothing to do with me."

His tone was like a knife blade, sharp yet with a hint of annoyance.

"Don't even think about getting any benefit from me, and don't plan anything in your heart. Everyone will die." There was a hint of world-weariness in the tough words.

Only when talking about "death" did his tone rise slightly.

Xu Zhiyan frowned slightly.

World-weariness, death, self-destruction...

This slice currently shows only negative emotions, and he has a rough idea of which part it is.

Bai Jin's words echoed in the space, like a sharp blade piercing into the heads of all thinking creatures present, instantly making it impossible to breathe. It was hard to tell whether this was just the mental oppression brought by Bai Jin, or whether he had really launched some kind of mental attack.

Suddenly, the young man's clear voice broke the silence.

"Although I really want to get something, but before that, can you please let go of your hand? You are almost crushing my bones."

The exaggerated metaphor made Bai Jin stunned.

But Xu Zhiyan didn't care about so many things. The slicing man's hand was as strong as ever, and it pinched his chin so hard that it hurt. Being afraid of the pain was one thing, but he was more worried that if he continued to pinch, it would reach the red line of injury assessment and pinch out the passive defense of the Human Skin Buddha and the Immaculate Mother.

Once the melee begins, it won't be as easy as tying him up with a hemp rope.

Bai Jin subconsciously let go of his hand.

Xu Zhiyan originally had a weak body and poor metabolism, so any mark would remain on his body for a long time. Although he has now used special methods to improve his physical condition, marks still easily remain on his skin.

Sure enough, there was a red fingerprint in the center of his jaw, which was extremely conspicuous against his fair skin.

Great, it seems this slice can still communicate smoothly.

Unfortunately, before Xu Zhiyan could feel secretly happy or figure out any coping strategy, someone grabbed his neck.

Bai Jin's loosened hand fell on the young man's fair neck again.

Xu Zhiyan froze for a moment, then relaxed, allowing the other party's hand to pinch his neck.

The rough fingertips rubbed the tender flesh on the neck, leaving another red mark soon.

He felt a hot palm moving up his neck and to his chin. The rough calluses at the base of his thumb indicated that the owner of this hand was most likely an excellent marksman.

The young man's obedience was unexpected.

"Aren't you afraid?"

Bai Jin opened his mouth, his voice surprisingly hoarse.

Where his fingertips brushed, traces of varying depths appeared. The young man, who never spoke a word of truth, allowed him to control one of the most vulnerable parts of a human being. He could feel the warm blood flowing actively under his skin.

As long as he wanted, he could end the other person's life with just a little effort.

Xu Zhiyan thought for a while, and answered sincerely with a voice full of trust: "Don't be afraid, I know the captain won't kill me."

He really thought that Slice wouldn't do anything.

This has happened before. When I was recovering my power, the guy who was rushing around using fire stopped at the last moment...

The ghost said that He would not harm him.

Unfortunately, the honest answer seemed to anger the slice in front of him.

"Oh? It seems your mouth is tougher than your life." Bai Jin had a blank expression on his face and tightened his grip.

Xu Zhiyan only felt that his neck was suddenly pinched and a slight feeling of suffocation came over him.

But even so, he did not resist at all, and stared straight at the cold slice in front of him with his neck tilted back.

He believes in ghosts and gods.

His client won't lie.

From a certain perspective, Xu Zhiyan's crazy attempts in front of the slices were all based on the promises of ghosts and gods.

Silence spread.

After dozens of seconds, Bai Jin let go of his hand.

Xu Zhiyan pursed his lips, but still couldn't suppress his smile. He was like a child who had won a game, with a bright light shining in his eyes.

Although no one spoke, Bai Jin understood the message in the other person's eyes. A strange feeling of being trusted surged in his heart, an experience he had never had before.

After staying still for a moment, he seemed to have lost his temper, and suddenly reached out and carried the person on his shoulders.

"I've changed my mind."

"I will personally interrogate this person."

…

The stairs are slightly bumpy.

Bai Jin's steps were hurried.

Xu Zhiyan was carried on the man's shoulders and felt like a bag of rice being carried.

Because the posture was rather casual, what was in front of her was the man's broad back. She could feel his arm resting on her knees, and the metal on his uniform was rubbing against her, which was a bit uncomfortable.

"Captain, can you fight me in a different position?"

He squirmed a little, trying to get some preferential treatment for himself: "You're almost pushing my stomach out."

Immediately afterwards, a slap landed on his butt, and Xu Zhiyan was stunned.

"Don't move."

Bai Jin's voice sounded impatient.

After being controlled by his instincts, he was like a raging trapped beast, his emotions unstable.

Walking in the long and narrow corridor, he even felt like he was going crazy.

Take the suspicious target away personally...

No, God knows what was going on in his mind when he carried the young man.

There were too many people in the room. He was worried and scared. He didn't want anyone to see Xu Zhiyan. The thought of hiding the young man in front of him reached its peak the moment he lost control, burning his sanity.

Bai Jin didn't know what he had triggered, but from the moment his palm tightened, he realized that he was out of control.

He could obviously use other strength to carry the person down instead of being clumsy, and follow gracefully behind, but he stubbornly reached out and pulled the person over, as if only by staying together could he offset the huge fear brought about by the rising murderous intent.

"...If you don't want to change it, then don't do it. Don't do it." Xu Zhiyan muttered dissatisfiedly.

Even ghosts and gods wouldn't dare to slap him like that. Well, forget it. Considering that Slice's mind is not clear, he won't care about it for the time being.

Due to limited vision, Xu Zhiyan didn't know where he was.

A moment later, he heard the sound of a door being pushed open, and two people entered a new room. He was thrown onto the sofa by the man with a 'bang' as if he were throwing something, but the room was pitch black and he could not see anything, so he could not judge.

“Pah—”

After a while, the light came on.

Xu Zhiyan then saw clearly that this should be the old factory director's office.

It seems that no one has used this place for a long time. The documents on the table have been taken away, leaving only a few photos and trophies in the display cabinet, as if telling about the past. Yes, the old factory director looks like he is about to die. If it weren't for Miss Lil sacrificing herself to integrate the rules, this room would probably not be cleaned on time.

He wanted to make a joke, but the moment he met Slice's gaze, he immediately shut up and pretended to be dead for self-protection.

The man who finally found An Jing's nest had red eyes, and stared at Xu Zhiyan with a crazy look, completely losing his previous taciturn calmness.

He sat on the side of the sofa, reached out and pinched the young man's chin again, forcing Xu Zhiyan to look up at him.

"Tell me everything you know."

"About the game, about the main system, about... ghosts and gods."

His voice was extremely hoarse, and his eyes were filled with obsessed love and tangled murderous intent.

"No need to refute, and no need to be surprised."

“I know much more than you think, and I even know that I am a part of Him.”

The fingertips slid from the chin to the young man's plump and moist lips. After rubbing them vigorously, the color of the lips became much darker, as if they were coated with blood, like ripe and beautiful fruits.

Xu Zhiyan wanted to say something, but after hearing what Slice said, he was completely stunned and didn't know how to respond.

"Obey me as you did before."

"I am no less than He is, I will take His place."

The Bai Jin in front of him showed a crazy smile, a smile that had never appeared on the ghosts in the safe house.
