Chapter 52 Yu Quezhou, you have come to this day!
In the early morning, the night is dark.
The road on this street is muddy and dilapidated, and few people pass by. As the Spring Festival is approaching, the relevant personnel only hung a red lantern next to the street lamp to barely decorate the street and create a festive atmosphere.
It was fine during the day, but after a strong wind blew at night, the lanterns scattered on the ground emitted a faint red light at night, and were pushed to passers-by by the black dog on the roadside. At first glance, there was a sense of horror like a midnight fright.
"Ah!" Someone screamed in fright after seeing the red lantern, as if he had not yet recovered from his own imagination. After looking around, he found that his lover was right next to him. His frightened expression changed and he immediately smiled: "Tingye!"
He had just died at the hands of the NPC in white robes with his sword the previous second, and the next second he opened his eyes and came to this dilapidated alley. He stretched out his hand to Xiang Tingye, unable to tell for a moment whether it was reality or illusion. After hearing Mo Yin's voice, he subconsciously reached out and held her in his arms.
The person in his arms had a warm body and was breathing rapidly. His embrace was too tight, causing a painful sensation, which seemed to prove to them that this was reality and not a game.
They hugged each other for a long time before they calmed down their pounding heartbeats and excitement, and the joy of recovering what they had lost filled their hearts. Xiang Tingye looked again and found that Xiang Chisong and Xiang Zhinian were beside him!
Several people looked at each other, and understood something from each other's ecstatic and heartbroken expressions. Mo Yin took out his mobile phone, first saw his young and beautiful face, and then saw the date displayed on it, and couldn't help but choked up and muttered: "We went back to seventeen years ago..."
Seventeen years ago, Xiang Chisong was nine years old, and Xiang Zhinian and Xiang Wanning were three years old.
Since Xiang Zhinian was kidnapped, he has been locked in a laboratory all day long and had his blood drawn constantly, causing his mind to become confused. Now she suddenly felt clear-headed, proving that she had escaped from that devil's den. Xiang Zhinian was overjoyed but couldn't help crying. She wanted to hug her parents and cry, but she asked with trembling lips after thinking of something, "Mom, why isn't Wan Ning here?"
Since the world can be restarted, it proves that Xiang Wanning did not enter the game cabin with them. She must have witnessed the tragedy and seen the cruelty of the scene, so she chose death in despair.
How much courage does it take for Xiang Wanning, who is so afraid of pain, to make such a decision? When she was facing death, did she remember the information I sent her, and did she still have a glimmer of hope when she felt the pain of dying?
For a moment, Xiang Zhinian regretted sending her the information, but then he thought, if this information was not given to Wan Ning, how would she spend the rest of her life? For a moment, I didn’t know which option was better for Xiang Wanning.
"Wan Ning is only three years old now. I want to see her too, but we don't even know where she is. We have to send someone to check first." Mo Yin couldn't help but hug Xiang Zhinian. Tears fell on Xiang Zhinian's cheeks like pearls from a broken string, mixing with hers: "She must be waiting for us. Let's get ready. This time, we must bring Wan Ning back earlier!"
Xiang Chisong took Xiang Tingye and Mo Yin's hands and raised the corners of his lips. When he felt the heat in his palms, his originally bitter and desperate heart turned into a hearty and crazy laugh, and finally turned into two words whispered between his lips: "Go home."
Go home, go home.
The helplessness and pain of those days could not compare to the sound of going home.
Not far away, workers who were going home after the night shift were about to take this shortcut. As soon as they got close, they heard the laughter. They were so scared that their souls flew out of their bodies. They ran faster than anyone else, muttering as they ran: "Oh my God, oh my God! Are we seeing ghosts at three o'clock in the morning? Their laughter is so creepy!"
"I heard that many people died in this place before..."
"Damn, ghosts have to go home too?"
"Who knows where he died. After all, he is a Chinese ghost, so he should return to his roots!"
“…”
Xiang Chisong didn't know that he had just scared someone. The phone in his pocket suddenly rang. It made a harsh and noisy sound in the middle of the night. When he saw the foreign IP, his smile gradually widened. He picked up the phone: "Hello, Yanli."
Xiang Zhinian, who was held high by Mo Yin, turned his head subconsciously and heard Xiang Chisong say, "You're back too. It's good that you're back. You should have a good rest first." Only then did he feel relieved.
Xiang Zhinian knew that now was not a good time to meet, even though she really wanted to see Chen Yanli now, but everyone needed a break right now to relax their tense nerves.
She had no objection to Xiang Chisong's decision, but suddenly frowned, as if she remembered something, and asked, "Wan Ning doesn't have a mobile phone yet, brother, why don't you call Yu Quezhou?"
I don’t know if it was Xiang Zhinian’s illusion, but after she said this, there were suddenly a few dog barkings behind them, as if driving them away.
Xiang Zhinian turned around in Mo Yin's arms, lay on Mo Yin's shoulder and looked behind her. The big black dog following them had a gloomy look in its eyes. She seemed to feel an inexplicable sadness from it.
"Okay." Xiang Chisong nodded, but after a long time, he dialed at least a dozen times but failed to get through.
He felt that something was wrong. Everyone had entered the game cabin together, so since they were being reborn, they should be reborn together. So what went wrong? Why don't you answer his call?
Did something unexpected happen to Yu Quezhou? ! Or did Yu Quezhou not come back at all?
Just as he expressed this guess and everyone was feeling a little uneasy, the big black dog that had been following them suddenly let out an impatient growl.
Then, it jumped in front of Xiang Chisong and scratched the right side of his face with one claw, as if blaming him for being too stupid.
Xiang Chisong covered his bleeding face and looked at the other party blankly. Suddenly, an incredible thought arose in his mind.
He called carefully: "Yu Quezhou?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiang Chisong couldn't help but punch himself, thinking that he was thinking too much. How could it be Yu Quezhou!
Even though he didn't like Yu Quezhou's actions before, he always felt that he was a little special towards Xiang Wanning, and he was secretly on guard while muttering "Yu Quezhou is a good dog"... But he couldn't be reborn and even change his species!
But the shiny, majestic black dog glanced at him, stretched out its front paw and patted his shoulder, as if agreeing with Xiang Chisong's words.
Everyone: ...
"Puff." Xiang Chisong couldn't help it. His originally irritable mood was swept away. He lay directly on the ground and stretched out his hand to hug it: "Hahahahahahahahahaha, Yu Quezhou, you also have this day hahahaha!"
Immediately afterwards, the other half of his face was scratched.
——
[There was a small accident. I seem to have swallowed Xiang Wanning's system.] Facing everyone's questioning, the system created by Xiang Zhinian and bound to Yu Quezhou was loaded into the laptop used by Xiang Tingye, and he said shyly: [I triggered the time-space reversal after swallowing the other party. Because I am not very proficient in the business, it is inevitable that there will be some mistakes...]
As if he noticed Yu Quezhou staring at him viciously, a crying cat head emoticon suddenly appeared on the computer screen: [I didn’t mean it, woooo QAQ, but don’t worry, after this body dies, you can return to your own body]
Yu Quezhou paced in the room, looking at the system suspiciously. God knows how he felt when he opened his eyes and saw his appearance like this. He was afraid that something might go wrong with the system again, and he was really worried.
But there is something more important than this.
He stretched out his claws and tapped the keyboard and asked, "Why did you devour Xiang Wanning's system?"
The system hesitated, as if it was also confused: [I don’t know, it was swallowed by me on its own initiative, it only asked me to do one thing]
Yu Quezhou typed a question mark at the right time.
[It’s strange that they asked us to be nicer to Xiang Wan Ning. Doesn’t it have the same system as mine? How can you say such words, as if you have feelings?] The system typed a dizzy expression on the screen, and then said: [But thanks to it, I can feel that I have become much stronger]
Everyone fell silent, as if they didn't know what to say.
Only Mo Yin had no idea what was on his mind, his eyes were full of loving light: "It's also a good child, don't worry, we will treat Wan Ning well."
No one slept well that night.
Xiang Zhinian woke up from a nightmare for the third time, his forehead covered in sweat. He couldn't help but hug his pillow, got out of bed barefoot, opened the room, and wanted to sleep in his parents' room for a night.
The current villa is not as luxurious as it will be in the future, and there are no servants or housekeepers at home. Even Mr. Xiang is still recuperating in France and has not returned to enjoy family happiness.
But even so, Xiang Zhinian could find his parents' room with his eyes closed... and ran into Xiang Chisong holding a pillow outside the room.
Xiang Zhinian: ...
Xiang Chisong: …
The two looked at each other, and finally Xiang Zhinian couldn't help but ask: "Brother, how old are you? Do you still sleep with your parents?"
Xiang Chisong said unyieldingly: "I am only nine years old this year, which is the golden age. On the contrary, you, a genius with a very smart mind, are you afraid of ghosts?"
The two men stood at the door arguing for a long time, until Xiang Tingye opened the door from the inside, grabbed one of them with each hand, and threw them into the room.
"Wait." Xiang Chisong seemed to remember something, propped the door with a pillow, and said to Xiang Tingye, "Dad, don't close the door!"
He hurried downstairs, carried Yu Quezhou who was sleeping soundly, then hurried upstairs and entered the room.
Sleeping on the bed are the parents and their daughter.
My brother and the dog are sleeping on the floor under the bed.
Xiang Chisong finally felt relieved. He grabbed Yu Quezhou's hair, muttering, "It would be great if Chen Yanli also turned into a dog. I would have one in each hand," and slowly fell asleep.
Yu Quezhou woke up in the middle of the night:?
No, are you sick? He was sleeping soundly on the sofa downstairs, and when he opened his eyes, he found himself lying on the ground, serving as a pillow.
He kicked the snoring Xiang Chisong away with disgust, stretched himself, and fell asleep again.
…
After a good night's sleep, they quickly regained their energy.
Xiang Zhinian first explained all the information he knew about Miss Company and the Alcott family. His childish face revealed a calmness that did not match his age. "Logically speaking, we should have no memories this time, but since we have memories, we must be more careful. Their system can ensure that they have memories in the continuous retrospection, and it is the same this time. We can't let them doubt."
"But the method of destroying them is also very simple. They have always relied on the system. As long as the core of the system is destroyed, they will be invincible."
Xiang Zhinian made up his mind, his eyes full of determination: "If I set a trap with myself and let them kidnap me again, maybe I can enter the laboratory again and destroy their system."
"No." Xiang Chisong immediately rejected her proposal: "This won't work."
"Brother." Xiang Zhinian tried to persuade him: "This is the simplest and quickest way at the moment. If we don't do this, we won't even be able to find their laboratory."
Her words were so true that they stung Xiang Chisong's eardrums, causing his well-adjusted emotions to suddenly go out of control again.
"If I can't protect you this time and let you go into danger again, I will feel useless." He was a little disappointed: "How can we protect Wan Ning?"
Xiang Tingye patted his son's shoulder: "It's not your problem."
It's because he is a useless father. He is too ordinary and can barely achieve the same achievements as ordinary people to ensure their material life. But facing the tactics of Miss Company, he did not have unparalleled wisdom, nor the physique to fight a hundred people alone. He seemed so vulnerable in the Alcott family's indestructible defense and the carefully planned schemes of Miss Company.
The system heard several people arguing that they were useless, and a puzzled expression appeared on the screen: [(⊙…⊙) I don’t seem to understand what you are talking about. Isn’t it just the address of the Alcott family and the protection password? I know! 】
Everyone: ...
The emotions that were brewing were suddenly broken by the system. Everyone was silent for a moment, feeling a little awkward.
But then, they smiled at each other, and Xiang Chisong grabbed Xiang Zhinian's face and said, "Did you hear me? Don't mess around! Even if the system doesn't know, with your intelligence, it's only a matter of time before you break through the other party's defense. How can you take your life so lightly and say such things?"
Xiang Zhinian was so depressed that he couldn't speak. Suddenly he realized that he was still an experimental subject with perfect genes, and a talented little genius with a photographic memory.
You won't have your talent taken away easily, and you'll feel yourself gradually becoming a mediocre person day by day. You won't be injected with drugs, and you'll feel your death approaching, but in the process of painful death, you'll hear others say: "If you die like this, your body will remain in the best condition you were in when you were alive."
Xiang Zhinian's eyes suddenly became warm, and only then did she feel as if she had just woken up from a dream: it turned out that she was really reborn, and it turned out that she could choose again.
She wiped away the tears in her eyes, smiled and said to them, "Then what else are we investigating? Let's go pick up Wan Ning!"
Xiang Zhinian looked at the system she had made with her own hands, feeling dazed for a moment, and then asked:
"System, where is Wan Ning now?"
