Mumu, as one of the main gods, is the most miserable one, unable to even afford a meal. With no other choice, he follows his brother's orders and heads to various dungeons to play different NPC...
001 really just wanted to scare them, especially the little idiot Mu Mu. He had no sense of safety precautions at all. He followed others blindly and followed behind them happily.
Fortunately, Xi Yunchi is a reliable person, otherwise Mu Mu would have no place to cry.
001 brought the two of them back to his residence. Sitting in the hover car, Mu Mu pressed his face against the car window as if he had seen the world, staring at the scene outside with interest.
Skyscrapers appear one after another, neon lights flash, cleaning robots are diligently responsible for their respective areas, various virtual projections appear in the sky above this bustling city, and countless high-altitude suspension trains pass by them.
This modern city made Mu Miao exclaim, "So this is what your hometown looks like, 001! It's so beautiful!"
001 glanced out the window and then looked away indifferently, "It's just a display of prosperity. In two years, this world will enter the process of destruction."
Mu Mu sighed with regret, and this time he didn't look outside and just sat down obediently.
001 observed Xi Yunchi for a while and asked, "What's your mission in this dungeon?"
Xi Yunchi sat upright, "No mission."
Mu Miao was surprised, "002 didn't issue a mission this time?"
Xi Yunchi rubbed his head and answered in more detail this time, "Yes, I was in this world when I opened my eyes. The system didn't issue any tasks."
"What is your identity in this world?"
"A rich man, otherwise he can't afford you."
Mu Miao smiled awkwardly. He subconsciously turned to look at 001, but saw that 001 had fallen into silence, with brows drooping, and no one knew what he was thinking.
We soon arrived at 001's home. It was a villa with a very nice appearance. There were many climbing roses climbing outside the walls, and the pink flowers were blooming, which was very beautiful.
When the hovercraft stopped at the door, Mu Miao heard brisk footsteps coming from the yard, and a young man who looked only fifteen or sixteen years old rushed out with a happy face.
He looked very similar to 001, except that he had black hair and black eyes. When the boy saw 001, his eyes lit up noticeably and he called out in a clear voice, "Brother! You're finally back."
The boy hugged 001 and said in a coquettish tone, "You've been away for a week this time, and we haven't had a video call. Brother, how could you do this?"
Mu Mu stared at the young man and tilted his head.
001 looked at the boy with a complicated expression and introduced him to Mu Mu, "He is 002."
Mu Miao: “!”
He immediately stared at the handsome young man, his scorching gaze seeming to burn a hole in him.
002 rarely sees strangers. He has been staying in this villa since he was created by Qu Linxi. It is more like his cage than his home.
But 002 doesn't think so. He has a brother and relatives, so this is his home.
002 nervously grabbed 001's sleeve and hid behind 001. He looked at Mu Miao and Xi Yunchi uncomfortably, then looked up and asked 001 in a low voice, "Brother, who are they?"
001: "My friend."
002 didn't seem to notice 001's indifference. He nodded and mustered up the courage to say to Mu Miao and Xi Yunchi, "Um... hello, welcome to my home."
Mu Mu's eyes lit up. So this is what 002's personality is like? It's actually a little cute!
Mu Miao also waved at him, "Hello, my name is Mu Miao."
But Xi Yunchi had no intention of introducing himself, and just looked at 002 silently.
002 smiled shyly, holding 001's sleeve with one hand, revealing only half of her body, "Hello, Mu Mu."
After entering the house, 002 was slightly surprised when he heard 001 say that Mu Miao and Xi Yunchi would live in their house, and smiled at them welcomingly.
When assigning rooms, Mu Miao was the first to raise her hand, "Xi Yunchi and I can just stay in one room."
001 looked at him speechlessly, but still prepared a room for the two of them.
002 is very shy and will hide behind 001 after a few words. 001 just looks at him meaningfully and doesn't stop him.
002 stood at the door and said to Mu Miao, "I manage the housekeeping system at home. Brother Mu Miao, please tell me what style of bedroom you like and I will help you set it up."
Are you so kind-hearted?
Mu Mu's cognition was once again refreshed by 002.
001 did not show any abnormality in his behavior, which means that 002 is just like that in his daily life.
Mu Miao finally chose the blue sky style. The ceiling and walls were transformed into the style of blue sky and white clouds, which made people feel good at first glance.
Mu Miao: "Thank you!"
002 was shy again, "It's okay, as long as Brother Mumu likes it."
During the day's interactions, Mu Miao discovered that 002 was really a very introverted and shy child. As long as 001 left his sight, he would be so scared that he didn't even dare to say a word. If he said a few more words, it would be as if he was about to cry.
After 002 fell asleep at night, 001 came to Mu Mu's room.
Mu Miao sighed, "002 is indeed beyond my imagination. He really depends on you."
001 curled his lips and said, "The source code that Qu Linxi set for him is to listen to me, so naturally he will obey me."
Mu Miao was puzzled, "Then why would he betray Brother Lin Xi?"
001 shook his head. "That's what I've never understood. He disappeared for a whole day one day. I was too busy with work during the day to notice. It wasn't until I came back that night and checked the surveillance that I realized he hadn't been home all day."
"This villa is connected to the Void Realm. 002 controls all the souls. I had planned to wait until you recovered before sending them one by one to the Void Realm. But 002 disappeared, came back, injured me, and escaped with all the souls."
Mu Miao was silent for a moment, "...He doesn't look like someone who would do such a thing."
Xi Yunchi, who had been silent the whole time, finally spoke up, "002 is probably being controlled by someone."
001 and Mu Miao looked at him at the same time. Xi Yunchi frowned slightly and said as he recalled, "During the early days, the system was very unstable. People would often leave the system for no reason, and... we even heard him crying."
Being pulled into this game after death is already very devastating. Faint crying sounds often echo in your head, and you are woken up by this sound when you wake up in the middle of the night. This once caused deep psychological trauma to many players.
“But then the crying died down, and the system became more of a system.”
No emotion.
But today, when Xi Yunchi saw the timid boy, the memory that he had almost forgotten came back to his mind again. The difference between 002 before and after was so great that Xi Yunchi couldn't help but have such an association.
001's expression became increasingly stern and serious. He said nothing and turned to walk out of the room.
Mu Mu felt that he had already made up his mind. Watching his back disappear around the corner, he turned around and hugged Xi Yunchi, burying his face in his shoulder, and said in a muffled voice, "Will 001 kill him?"
Xi Yunchi rubbed his head and looked out the door, "Maybe."
Mu Miao: "...002 asked me to come here."
"I understand. He's asking you for help."
Everything 002 is doing now goes against the original intention of his creation, but he cannot get rid of it and cannot control himself. It must be extremely painful.
If 002 is killed at this time, he will no longer exist.
Mu Miao sighed wistfully at the thought, "If Yin Yan wasn't so deeply connected to Jing Nan, I might have been able to save him."
Fate is friendly to all lives other than [Wu], but is extremely cruel to them. If Mu Zi had not gathered them together in advance, perhaps every [Wu] would have experienced the same thing as Jingnan.
This night was destined to be a sleepless night.
Mu Miao lay on Xi Yunchi's abdominal muscles, with his eyes half-open, staring blankly at one place, while Xi Yunchi played with his hair from time to time. If Mu Miao's hair wasn't short, he would probably want to braid it for him.
"Bang, bang, bang."
There was a knock on the door, and 002's shy voice sounded from outside, "Brother Mu Mu, can I come in?"
Mu Miao and Xi Yunchi looked at each other. Mu Miao stood up and opened the door for 002. "Why are you here?"
002's eyes were red. He tried to look at Mu Mu for a few seconds, but couldn't help avoiding his sight. He lowered his head and twisted his fingers nervously.
"Brother Mu Mu, I, I came to you to ask you to help me with something." 002 took a deep breath, barely suppressing the timidity in his heart, and looked up at Mu Mu, "Can you, can you kill me?"
Mu Miao: “……?!”
Seeing the surprise in Mu Mu's eyes, 002 acted like a child who was afraid of doing something wrong. He spoke and acted very carefully, and took out a silencer from somewhere.
"It won't be too much trouble for you." 002's eyes were filled with apology. "Just press the trigger towards me. Sorry, my initial setting doesn't allow me to commit suicide. I have to trouble you."
Mu Mu's throat was dry, "Why do I suddenly want to..."
002 scratched his head embarrassedly, a moment of loss in his eyes, "I know everything. Brother Xingyi brought me here, and it's my honor to see you. Don't be too greedy, it's not good."
Mu Miao was stunned. "Xingyi? Are you talking about Ning Xingyi?"
The God of Time——Ning Xingyi.
This means that the 002 in front of us is the copy system 002 that betrayed and escaped.
Ning Xingyi seemed to ignore this matter, but it turned out that the road had already been paved for him. No wonder Ning Xingyi said to him so easily before they left: Have fun.
002 nodded, tears in his eyes. "He found me and brought me back to the present, but I can't kill myself. I, I really can't..."
"I know I've done a lot of wrong things, and I want to make amends, but I can't. I know my brother is very disappointed in me. I knew it from the first moment he came back and saw me."
002 wiped away his tears. His sensitive heart could immediately tell the difference in 001's attitude towards him.
"But...but I don't want to die at his hands, Brother Mu Mu, please help me."
002 begged Mu Mu and put the gun in his hand into Mu Mu's hand.
Mu Miao picked up the gun with trembling fingers and pointed it at 002's eyebrows. "Can you tell me who made you become like that?"
002 shook his head blankly. "It seemed to be a man named Mr. Qin. He knocked on the door and said he was thirsty. When I went to get him some water, he held my neck and pushed something into it."
"Then I found that I couldn't control myself. I, I didn't want to, wuwuwuwu."
002 started crying helplessly. He was just a half-grown child. He would only be afraid when facing unknown things, but the only person he could rely on hated him.
Mu Miao's hand holding the gun trembled slightly. He tried hard not to look at 002's watery eyes, but he couldn't pull the trigger.
Xi Yunchi walked over, hugged him from behind, put his hand around Mu Mu's hand, and led him to pull the trigger.
The bullet passed through 002's eyebrows. There was a smile on the corner of his lips. Bionic people have no blood. His body softened and fell to the ground. Before his eyes closed, he met the eyes of 001 who was standing outside the door.
002's mouth moved, "Brother, I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
With the death of 002, the copy collapsed.
Mu Miao returned to Jingxu in the blink of an eye. Xi Yunchi was still clinging to him tightly, and the gun in his hand was nowhere to be seen. Xi Yunchi held his hand and gave him silent comfort.
Xiran and the others were all waiting outside for them to come back, especially Qu Linxi. As soon as he saw 001, he immediately came forward and asked a lot of questions. 001 was in a bad mood and became angry just by looking at him.
“Bang!”
A crisp slap sounded from Qu Linxi's face, and 001 pushed him away in disgust, "Get out!"
Qu Linxi chased after him, frowning. "How did I provoke you? Tell me! You slapped me for no reason. I have a temper too! Tell me what I did wrong. I'll apologize and change. Anything is fine."
001: "Get lost!"
Seeing Qu Linxi humbly chasing after 001, Mu Miao snorted, "Serves him right!"
"Your business is not over yet." Xiran pulled Mu Mu and said to him, while Yan Xu stood beside him holding Ling Chen, with a somewhat sour expression.
Xiran: "The souls of those players haven't been sent to the afterlife yet. Mumu, you need to go to various worlds to find them and send them away. I'll hold them for you in the early morning."
Mu Miao had the experience of holding little Yin Lin, so this time she was much more comfortable holding little Ling Chen. However, she didn't know what little Ling Chen had eaten, but he was extremely heavy.
Mu Mu's arms felt sore after just holding the child for a while, so he gave the child to Xi Yunchi to hold. Xi Yunchi held Ling Chen and ignored the resentful look from Yan Xu.
But Xiao Lingchen didn't like this uncle very much. He turned his head and asked Xiran to hold him again. Xiran knocked him on the head and warned him, "Be good and don't make trouble."
Ling Chen then reluctantly nestled in Xi Yunchi's arms, staring at him.
Mu Miao was puzzled. "I'm sending players to the afterlife, why would I take Lingchen with me?"
Yin Jingnan jumped out from nowhere and flicked his head. "Idiot, with your limited ability, you'll be exhausted to death if you want to send all the players to the afterlife."
And Mu Mu is still injured.
"This little Lingchen was specially prepared for this moment." Yin Jingnan leaned against a rock nonchalantly, pointing at the little Lingchen. "This child of Xiran and Yanxu has combined life and death at the same time, and his abilities are very similar to yours. It will be easier if you take him with you."
Mu Miao suddenly realized that this was the off-field assistance they found for him.
The player's problem has been solved, but Qin Yuxuan's whereabouts are still unknown. Mu Miao told Xiran and others about this, hoping to find out his whereabouts from them.
After asking again and again, he finally found out from Qu Linxi, who was beaten black and blue.
"Qin Yuxuan, he's dead."
Mu Miao was shocked, "Who killed him?"
"His brother."
Qin Yuan is still alive? !
Mu Miao was surprised again. He had experienced the God-killing War and knew that Qin Yuan had not caused any harm to Jingxu. His purpose in coming to Jingxu was more to stop the fight.
Unfortunately, instead of persuading him, he was accidentally injured by [Existence].
Since Qin Yuan is still alive, he will definitely find out what happened back then, and it is natural for him to hunt down the culprit Qin Yuxuan.
Mu Mu thought about it, his face lit up with joy, and he couldn't wait to grab Xi Yunchi, covering Lingchen's eyes and kissing Xi Yunchi on the face, "Then we can go on vacation to different worlds."
By the way, send the players you meet to the afterlife.
Xi Yunchi smiled and took his hand, "Let's go."
Mu Miao cheered, but suddenly stopped while walking. Looking at Xiao Lingchen who was sitting leisurely in Xi Yunchi's arms, she was unhappy and picked him up.
Little Lingchen was in the air, kicking his feet and yelling incoherently, "Xiao, Xiao Susu~ hold me~"
"No, you're too fat." Mu Mu refused with a heartless heart and put him on Xi Yunchi's shoulders, "Strip yourself."
Then he opened his arms towards Xi Yunchi, his dark green eyes full of pride, "You hug me, not him. I want to hug him too."
Xi Yunchi looked at him lovingly and held him sideways, "Okay, I'll just hold you."
Unlike the heavy mood they had felt when entering the dungeon in the past, this time Mu Miao and Xi Yunchi felt relaxed and comfortable, and couldn't wait to start their honeymoon trip.
