Chapter 428 Safe House

Xu Zhiyan rarely shows his vulnerable side.

The false and chaotic past was not conducive to the formation of a healthy personality. Most of the time he hid his emotions very well, so that when he talked about missing her at this time, his tone was so light that it seemed to be blown away.

However, such straightforward thoughts were soon easily revealed with the young man's casual words, so quickly that it sounded as if nothing had happened.

After collecting his thoughts, Xu Zhiyan turned his back, and the dark world began to light up from beneath his feet.

"Ah, what should we do today?"

He seemed not to notice Bai Jin's gaze behind him, or maybe he did notice it but didn't know how to respond.

For more than half a year, there was no significant progress.

Xiao Zhiyan lived up to his future self's evaluation. He was extremely stubborn and never gave up the desire to escape. He tried many methods, but in the end, nothing worked.

His vitality is amazing.

No matter what happened the day before, you will be revived full of energy the next day.

The system couldn't help but comment on this.

[As expected, one can tell a lot about a person's future from the time he was three years old. When the host was young, he was the kind of person who would not give up until he achieved his goal.]

Never compromise until you get what you want.

Asking for coins for making wishes, secretly drawing a floor plan of Xu's house, memorizing it and then burning it, recording the personality and appearance of every person coming in and out...

He must get what he wants and work hard for it unremittingly. The greed engraved in his soul actually plays a positive role at this time, making Xiao Zhiyan full of motivation.

Time is in a hurry.

The cold winter dissipates and spring comes to the world. When the hot summer and the fruitful autumn leave, winter comes again.

Xiao Zhiyan waited for the opportunity.

His birthday is in just over a month.

During a meeting with Xu Yan, he used his acting skills to the fullest and got the opportunity to go to the amusement park on his birthday. For a child under six years old, as long as he can successfully leave this cage, he can seek help from the outside world.

In response to this, Xu Zhiyan and the system started another guessing game out of boredom.

[I think the little host will definitely be able to escape this time if he tries so hard. But I always feel that he will be caught if he escapes this time.] It hesitated, not knowing what to do.

Xu Zhiyan was very confident.

"I can't get him out of this door."

Passively watching the whole process, he saw the researcher beside Xu Yan who seemed to be hesitant to speak. He was afraid that he had already made other arrangements that day. It was a pity that Xiao Zhiyan was still immersed in the joy of finding an opportunity and did not realize this at all.

Xu Yan is not a fool, he won't make promises to tools.

The system listened, howled, and pressed to leave, thinking it was safe this time. It seemed to have forgotten that in the past year, it had lost to the host more than 70 times. When it returned to the safe house, it would take at least three months to write code and make software, using labor to repay its debts.

Seeing this, Xu Zhiyan was in a very good mood.

He was trapped in his memories for too long, so long that he was forced to write countless future development plans for the safe house to pass the time.

The records in the system alone range from theories of industrial development in this world to how to become the world's richest man. Later on, it even extends to the restoration of the ruined world, how to find dimensional cracks to discover more trading channels, and how to expand the business empire to other dimensional worlds...

At night, Xiao Zhiyan fell asleep with a smile on his face, which was rare.

Xu Zhiyan and the system had just finished discussing today’s extra-dimensional development plan.

After bidding the system goodnight, he allowed himself to fall into a dark consciousness...

Having come here so many times, Xu Zhiyan is now a little calm every time he enters Bai Jin’s dream.

The relationship between the two became a little weird.

Apart from that one time, he never showed his vulnerable side again, nor did he ask his heart to transform into its adult form again.

Afterwards, they inexplicably started to become distant and even the physical contact decreased a lot.

As for Bai Jin, he has been using his teenage appearance less and less since then, and most of the time he appears beside Xu Zhiyan in his adult state, and his personality is becoming more and more similar to that of the ghost twenty years later.

It's like it's jealous of its future self.

Although it has the same face and wears similar clothes, it insists on retaining the black spells covering its body, as if to remind Xu Zhiyan that it is different from him.

The same is true today.

Perhaps because he had a premonition that he would beat the system again, Xu Zhiyan was in a good mood, with a hint of teasing in his eyes.

Looking at the heart that looked exactly like a ghost's, except for the mark of a spell, he found it somewhat amusing. He stretched out his finger and poked the other's stiff arm, then spoke as if possessed by a ghost, his voice tinged with laughter.

"Hey, hey, why are you so childish?"

"It's been almost half a year, why are you still dressed like this? Can't you just go back to being a dwarf?"

The system is right, you can tell a person's future from his age. Should we say he is indeed the amnesiac version of a ghost? This guy is so righteous, even when he gets jealous, he is just like the familiar Party A, secretly rubbing his head without saying a word. As for height, Xu Zhiyan doesn't like to look down on others, but the adult version of Bai Jin is really too tall. Whenever he looks into his eyes, he has to look up.

The man who was waiting quietly by the side raised his eyebrows.

It has been doing this for a long time, but Xu Zhiyan didn't stop it before. Every time he looked at it, it was always as if he was looking at its future self. Although it was a bit stupid to be jealous of his future self, he couldn't help it.

I have to say, this is effective.

Now it looked into the young man's smiling black eyes and could only see its own shadow in them.

Bai Jin was very satisfied.

It felt extremely satisfied just by being looked at by Xu Zhiyan.

Xu Zhiyan said a few words and seeing that Bai Jin didn't speak, he was neither angry nor asked any further questions. After a snap of his fingers, the darkness faded away and the dream world took on a completely new look.

After realizing that the power here could imitate the void, he changed his previous behavior of wasting time doing nothing and began to try to build the void, testing it with materials that could be produced by various technology trees. The only thing left was building a shuttle in his dream.

But judging from the intensity of his behavior, Xu Zhiyan has not changed much from when he was a child.

Soon, he put Bai Jin behind his mind and focused on his own affairs. However, his lowered eyes concealed his thoughts, making it difficult to tell whether he was in such a hurry because he really needed to, or just to escape...

Bai Jin looked at Xu Zhiyan's busy figure again, and his heart in his chest was beating so violently that it seemed like it was about to burst.

It has happened many times, and every time when talking about something related to it or Him, Xu Zhiyan always just mentioned it briefly and never explored it further. It wanted to know, if we put aside the future, would Xu Zhiyan like it a little bit now?

It didn't understand why the other party was avoiding it when it was clearly unable to distinguish between its present self and its future self.

In a trance, Bai Jin always felt that something was wrong.

Half a year ago, the other party was clearly expressing his longing for me, but afterwards he rarely mentioned it... When did it start?

It searched through its memories of the past six months, and suddenly, it realized that since a certain conversation, Xu Zhiyan had gradually reduced the number of times he talked about him, and even the emotions that occasionally flashed in his eyes had become much more restrained.

Bai Jin was a little confused. To him, the conversation was nothing special. He just mentioned that he was affected by the seal of the main system and could sometimes see some confusing images. In order to create a topic, he restored the strange monster that flashed by in the picture.

After a while, Bai Jin, who couldn't figure it out, asked tentatively: "Besides this, do you have any other requirements?" It was referring to changing the form.

It sounds a bit servile, but there is a hint of strength in its words.

It feels like it can't wait.

It didn't know how long Xu Zhiyan would continue to avoid it.

The young man, with his hands on the table, froze for a moment, then answered calmly, as if nothing had happened, without even turning his head.

"No, but it's your freedom to appear however you want. You don't have to change it just because of a word from me." Even when he was speaking, his eyes were only on the metal being tested in the test area.

The increasingly cold voices over the past few months almost completely broke Bai Jin's tense nerves.

It seemed like it couldn't bear it anymore. It appeared behind the young man, gently placed its palm on his shoulder, and said in a seductive tone: "If you are willing to tell me about the future, I can tell you directly what materials can travel through the void."

After being together for a long time, it has already thoroughly understood Xu Zhiyan's nature of not doing anything without profit.

Bai Jin was fed up with the other party's distant attitude towards him.

As if to better guide him, it added: "Only the me of now can achieve omniscience. Even if you return to the future, He will not be able to give you an answer."

Xu Zhiyan's body had already begun to stiffen when Bai Jin's palm was placed on him.

If he had subconsciously distinguished the ghost of twenty years later from the heart of twenty years ago, then when he saw the other party showing the picture of the monster in the safe house, he understood that the ghost in front of him was the ghost who entered Uta with him, but his memory was sealed and turned into amnesia mode...

In fact, he had been pretending to be indifferent for several months and he could hardly keep it up any longer.

The two of them got along too well, and he could have whatever he wanted with all the ghosts and gods, no matter what state they were in. According to previous developments, there was no danger or external enemy here, and he knew it was only a matter of time before they ended up in bed.

Is Xu Zhiyan rejecting it?

No, he doesn't reject it.

But whenever he thought of the various perverted slices he had experienced before, he felt dizzy.

Shit! God knows how long he will stay here. If he stays here for three to five years, he will be well-trained. No wonder Slice 20 years later always looks like a hungry wolf looking at meat, and he will cause trouble whenever he meets someone.

Xu Zhiyan hadn't made up his mind yet, but his silence obviously angered Bai Jin.

His jaw was forcibly pinched up. The man's force was so great that his fingertips brushed his lips. Xu Zhiyan was forced to turn his head back and meet a pair of golden eyes that showed confusion and anger.

“What’s the difference between Him and me?”

Bai Jin felt very hurt. He didn't even mind being his substitute, but Xu Zhiyan, this greedy guy, was willing to give up the benefits and refused to talk anymore...

Looking at Bai Jin who was behaving out of character, Xu Zhiyan's heart skipped a beat.

...Hiss, it seems like I've overacted a bit.

He thought he would coax her first, but before he could open his mouth, the other person's hands changed places, grabbed his waist and turned him over, and a kiss full of aggression and unwillingness fell on him without any explanation.

With the back of his head held, Xu Zhiyan had nowhere to escape. He could only passively endure the kiss, his lips and teeth entangled, making him dizzy.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but just when he felt he was about to suffocate from lack of oxygen, the other party finally let him go.

"Will I kiss you like this in the future?"

The man's Adam's apple rolled and his words were hoarse.

Xu Zhiyan raised his eyelids and realized belatedly that he was carried to the table. He was limp like a puddle and his clothes were wrinkled. Meeting Bai Jin's somewhat disappointed eyes, he was a little shaken.

Forget it, he has already collected all the information from Party A, so why should he care so much?

Perhaps he had finally made a decision. Xu Zhiyan sighed softly, supported himself on the table with his arms and straightened up. He stretched out his other hand to Bai Jin, and gently scratched the man's Adam's apple with his bent index finger. He could feel the other's hand on his waist suddenly tightened.

"It's more than just a kiss."

The fingertips slid downwards, and in an instant one of Bai Jin's shirt buttons was unbuttoned, full of ambiguity and teasing.

Xu Zhiyan simply stopped pretending and just gave a fierce warning before everything started.

"I hope you can take care of your slices in the future."

Damn it, he finally knew where those slices of people who think with their lower bodies came from...
