39 · Chapter 39

Li Jingtang sat on the sofa in a daze, his face pale and terrified. It’s coming again, it’s coming again. What the hell is this?

He pinched his arm hard, grimacing in pain.

pain.

It must have really happened.

Seeing that he didn't move, Chen Zui asked again: "Do you want to eat? I cooked."

Li Jingtang looked at him and felt that the person he trusted was now eerie and terrifying.

"I… am not hungry."

He wanted to try a different way of saying it to see if there would be a different outcome.

He saw Chen Mo staring at him, which made him feel creepy, for about 2 minutes.

Chen Zui: "Do you want to eat? I cooked."

Li Jingtang stood up suddenly. He didn't understand what had happened to Chen Mo. What on earth was going on?

But he was still brave after all. His first reaction in this situation was not to run away, but to go to Chen Zui and tentatively reach out to touch him.

"Chen Mo?"

His hands touched a real body.

Chen Zui turned around and went to the restaurant, sitting at the table, as if waiting for him to come over for dinner. Li Jingtang hesitated and took out his phone to call Chen Zui. He wanted to confirm what Chen Zui was doing at this time. Was he the one who did it?

The call could never be connected.

Li Jingtang called Gu Beichen again, but the call still couldn't be connected.

He called each number in the address book one by one, but none of them went through.

He put down his phone in frustration.

Chen Zui: "Do you want to eat? I cooked."

Li Jingtang felt uncomfortable when he heard this. Did he have to continue? He thought about it and looked at Chen Mo who was sitting on the dining chair.

The moment their eyes met, a chill rose from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

The other party has been looking at him!

He turned and walked towards the door, but what he didn't expect was that the door could be opened.

Delighted, he ran back and grabbed Chen Zui's arm: "Let's go!"

He didn't intend to give up on Chen Mo.

When Chen Zui was led to the door, he suddenly exploded: "I'm not going out! I'm not going out!"

Li Jingtang didn't have the time or mood to coax him now. They had to get out of this situation: "You must come with me today!"

He grabbed Chen Zui's arm with veins tense and used all his strength, but Chen Zui clung to the door frame and refused to go with him. Li Jingtang was angry and anxious. He hugged Chen Zui around the waist with both hands and was determined to carry him out.

"I can't go out!"

"Those who break the rules will die!"

"Only the eldest brother can go out, only the eldest brother can go out!"

Chen Zui shouted.

Aotian: Still learning acting skills.

Faced with Chen Mo who was almost on the verge of collapse and madness, Li Jingtang had no choice but to let him go temporarily. The other party ran back to the room and hid under the dining table.

He walked over with heavy steps and saw Chen Mo holding his head and muttering: "I don't want to disappear, I don't want to disappear, I didn't go out, I didn't break the rules, I can have this body, I can..."

Li Jingtang frowned and squatted down: "Chen Mo, what are you talking about?"

Chen Zui turned his head to the other side, as if he didn't want to face him.

"I'm very good, I'm very obedient, I don't want to disappear, he's yours, yes, he's yours, he belongs to Big Brother, I won't go with him..."

"I didn't want him!"

"No! I want him!

"No, no, I don't. He belongs to Big Brother. He belongs to Big Brother..."

Li Jingtang suddenly realized that there might be something wrong with Chen Mo's brain.

Thinking of how the other person had helped him time and time again, even though he was in a critical situation now, he still remained patient: "It's okay, it's okay, I won't take you out, can you come out first?"

The man's tone was gentler than ever before.

He coaxed her for a long time before Chen Zui turned around and looked at him in disbelief: "Really?"

Li Jingtang nodded and extended his hand to him: "Really, come out."

Chen Zui hesitantly took his hand and came out from under the table. As soon as he stood up, he said, "Do you want to eat? I cooked."

Li Jingtang: ...

Li Jingtang took a deep breath and finally decided to try it again. He was afraid that the rejection would cause Chen Mo's spirit to collapse again.

While eating.

"Are you dating Big Brother?"

"……No."

…

After dinner, Li Jingtang left, but this time he did not go home. Instead, he went to a busy bar, rented a private room, and called a room full of people to drink with him. He didn't believe that he could go back in this situation, and there were bodyguards outside.

Li Jingtang didn't drink and asked others to have fun without disturbing him.

He always thought of Chen Mo's words. Those words were so strange, about rules and disappearance. He fiddled with his phone and called Gu Beichen again.

This time the call went through successfully.

Li Jingtang took a deep breath: "I just kept calling you, did you receive it?"

It was very noisy on the other side, and Gu Beichen had to shout to speak: "No, what's wrong?"

Li Jingtang's heart sank. He didn't know how to explain this matter, and the other party probably wouldn't believe it even if he told him.

"I remember your cousin seemed to have mental problems, and you pushed his doctor to me."

"What's wrong? Are you not normal anymore?"

"No, I know someone."

"Okay, but I remind you, stay away from the mentally ill."

Not long after hanging up the phone, Gu Beichen sent a phone number.

Li Jingtang went to the bathroom in the private room. The noise had died down a lot, so he made a phone call.

——

When it was almost dawn, almost everyone in the private room was asleep, and the bodyguard outside the door stopped someone who wanted to go in.

The man pointed to his badge on his chest and said, "I'm the manager here. I need to talk to your boss about closing the shop and check on the employees."

The bodyguard then put his hand down.

After the manager walked in, the bodyguard heard the manager whisper, "Wake up, everyone wake up."

After a while, people in the private room came out staggering, and a few of them were not woken up and were being supported.

The manager also helped one and after coming out he said to the bodyguard: "Your boss is asleep. We will close in an hour, so he can sleep for another hour."

The bodyguard glanced into the private room and saw the boss lying on the sofa with his back to the door.

He nodded: "Okay, thank you."

The manager followed the group downstairs and then went their separate ways. He took the man he was supporting out of the bar to the parking lot and threw him into the passenger seat.

The wig on his head fell off, revealing Li Jingtang's face.

Chen Zui took off his work badge and said, "Thank you for your visual confusion. You can actually achieve this level of skill. It's amazing."

Aotian: [No big deal~]

In fact, you have seen it in the previous world, but you don’t remember it for the time being. Sometimes Aotian would feel a little regretful that Chen Zui didn’t remember anything about the previous world.

Chen Zui stayed here for a whole night. Although Li Jingtang didn't drink any alcohol, he drank water that night. He found an opportunity to add some seasoning to the water.

Li Jingtang is now sleeping soundly.

He drove back to the villa, carried Li Jingtang out of the car and put him on the sofa, then he put the same takeaway on a plate and finally changed into the cream-colored sweater.

Aotian found it quite interesting. The seemingly intimidating infinite cycle was actually performed by Chen Zui himself.

Chen Zui, who had prepared everything, was waiting for the night to come and for Li Jingtang to wake up. The other party was now almost accustomed to waking up in the dark again and again and losing his freedom of movement.

So he wants to increase the stakes and try another kind of stimulation.

This will bring him greater despair, and then lead him out of despair and gain his favorability.

Night falls

Li Jingtang woke up slowly, and the moment he saw Chen Mo, he instantly regained consciousness.

Back again.

He couldn't even hide from so many people in the bar. What should he do to end this?

"Do you want to eat? I made dinner."

Li Jingtang felt nauseous when he heard this. He stared at Chen Mo and recalled what he had talked about with the doctor.

"I'm very sorry, the information you provided is too limited. If we want to determine what kind of mental illness it is, we need you to bring the person in for a comprehensive examination."

"Otherwise, I can't draw any conclusions."

But Chen Mo didn't leave the house at all. However, the most important thing now should be to solve the problem of reincarnation.

When Li Jingtang stood up, he suddenly felt dizzy and fell headfirst.

Chen Mo, who was almost at the restaurant, heard a loud noise. He turned around and saw Li Jingtang lying on the ground. Worry flashed in his eyes and he ran back.

Li Jingtang's head was buzzing from knocking his head, as if an alarm had been sounded.

He knew that Chen Mo had helped him up and carried him back to the sofa, but the long-winded voice in his head was still so loud that it was killing him.

Then he heard a sentence: [The system has been linked.]

The alarm sound disappeared.

Li Jingtang blinked blankly.

A strange mechanical voice appeared in my mind: [Hello, host. I am from the system of the Book Crossing Bureau. We have detected that the small world you are in has been infiltrated by people from the Secret Book Crossing Bureau, causing the plot line to deviate. I am here to help you return to the plot line.]

Li Jingtang: "What?"

He wasn't used to talking to what was in his head yet, so he just spoke out loud.

Chen Zui didn't quite hear: "What did you say?"

He thought that he might have given Li Jingtang too many medicines recently, so it seemed that he had to rescue him this time to gain his favor.

My name is 996. You are the protagonist of a novel called "The Honest Man Forced by a Angry CEO." You were originally supposed to be with Yuan Man, but things are clearly going astray.

Li Jingtang stared at Chen Mo. He didn't say anything. It wasn't his voice, but something in his head that was really speaking.

He was really going crazy. First, darkness awaited him again and again, then reincarnation awaited him again and again, and now a ghost thing talking to itself appeared in his head.

[According to my statistics, after you strayed from the plot, you were most entangled with a man named Chen Zui, so I've listed him as the main suspect. He's very likely the one who secretly infiltrated the bookstore.]

[Those who secretly penetrated the bookstore are heretics and rebelled against Tiangang. They are the scum of the system world. We must defeat them!]

Li Jingtang: [Can you get out of my head? ]

So noisy.

So annoying.

I can’t stand a man with a bad temper!

996: [……]

996: [Being disrespectful to the system will be punished. Our system is here to save you. You should be grateful to us. Considering this is your first offense, we won't repeat it.]

Chen Zui: "How do you feel?"

Li Jingtang doesn't like the arrogant system in his head. I'm begging you to save me?

Your goal is to put the plot back on track. You're saying it nicely and saving me. Don't be so condescending, and don't try to deceive a businessman with sweet words. It's you who needs me, not me who needs you, so you should be grateful and ask me to cooperate with you.

996: [Host, you are too unruly.]

996: [You will be punished with electric shock for 1 minute.]
