Chapter 269 Who wouldn’t be scared?
The tasker hall is bustling with people.
When coming out of the passage, the bright white light in the hall hurt people's eyes. When Jian Yue came out, he was in a trance for a moment. A staff member came over and said, "Hey! What's wrong with you!"
The momentary weightlessness and imbalance make people feel dazed for a moment.
As if all his strength had been drained away, Jian Yue slowly recovered for a while, looked up and said to the staff, "I'm fine."
The staff member said, "Be careful. Did you come out of the dungeon without being extracted? You can exchange for extraction stones, which can isolate you from the influences and emotions you received in the dungeon. People who apply for it for the first time can use it for free. I'll give you one for free."
It was stuffed into Jian Yue's hand before he could even refuse. He could only say, "...Thanks."
The staff waved his hands and said, "I've seen many questers like you. You must have been scared crazy by the ghosts in the dungeon. It would be difficult for you to get out without the extraction stone. It's not shameful to use the stone. Pay more attention to your mental health!"
Jian Yue didn't know how to explain, so he could only nod.
The staff member said: "Click on this stone, it will light up and a pop-up window will pop up asking if you want to use it. Once you confirm, you can use it, but if you want to buy it again later, you have to go to the mall to buy it."
Jian Yue said: "Okay."
He didn't plan to use it because he knew it would be of no use to him.
However, what the staff said was quite interesting, so Jian Yue clicked on it and was ready to see what the pop-up window looked like and then refuse to use it. However, he didn't expect that when the pop-up window popped up.
The system panel read: "This is not the first time the tasker has used the Isolation Stone, so he cannot successfully activate the Novice Welfare Stone!"
Jian Yue frowned. What does that mean?
He was sure that this must be the first time he knew about and used this stone.
Unsure, he pressed it again, and the stone popped up a panel again: "Warning! This is not the first time the tasker has used the isolation stone, so he cannot successfully activate the novice welfare stone!"
Jian Yue directly opened the system's shopping mall. He did not ask about the stone directly, but said to his system: "System, help me check the points I spent when I bought the isolation stone."
This is a question that must be answered within the system's authority.
really.
This time the system couldn't play dead. After a pause, a mechanical voice replied, "Tasker No. 543 has no record of purchasing the Isolation Stone in the mall."
Jian Yue went straight back to where the staff was working and asked, "Hello, my number is 543. Can you help me check if I have received the Novice Isolation Stone before?"
The staff member didn't even look at him and said, "No, I have a system. I remember everyone who comes to collect the stone. I've been here for more than 20 years and I've never seen you before."
Jian Yue said: "But I have no way to use this stone."
The staff member looked at Jian Yue with doubt. He scanned Jian Yue's terminal card with the machine in disbelief. A mechanical voice came from the machine page: "Querying the collection record of the current tasker. The tasker has already received it..."
The screen froze several times.
It's like being poisoned.
then.
When the staff wanted to use it again, the terminal page changed to: "No records found."
Jian Yue:?
Staff:?
I really don't even want to act anymore!!!
Jian Yue tried to hold back, but couldn't help it in the end, poked the machine's head and said, "Is this your system machine?"
Staff: "...if nothing unexpected happens, there shouldn't be any."
Jian Yue: "What about now?"
"There's an accident." The staff member said, "Okay, I don't know what the situation is. Maybe it's a system bug. I'll report it for you, or check the database for how to solve it. I'll give you an answer when we meet next time. My name is Amy, and I often work at the platform at this exit. Just come and see me when the time comes."
Jian Yue said: "Okay, thank you."
Maybe it really is a system bug. Jian Yue has seen quite a few bugs before, so he doesn't have to pay attention to just one or two of them.
He turned and walked outside.
Suddenly I remembered that I haven’t received the rewards for the guild competition yet.
Just thinking about it.
The system seemed to have finally reacted, and the system panel refreshed: "So far, all players in the Guild Tournament have opened the settlement page. The guild with the highest contribution value is the Emperor Guild. The Emperor Guild will receive the A-level prize. The world consciousness has determined that the Moonlight Guild has the highest contribution value. The final SSR-level item Time Rewind has been issued to the account of the tasker with the highest contribution value. The dungeon thanks everyone for their efforts!"
After the checkout page ends.
Jian Yue was still wondering who had this thing and how to get it.
Suddenly, a message popped up in my backpack saying item +1.
Jian Yue opened his backpack directly, and a prop that looked like an incense burner suddenly appeared in the top compartment of the backpack. The prop was gray and had a smoking symbol. Jian Yue clicked on the prop, and the name of Time Travel appeared.
A panel popped up: "Do you want to use it? The prop can help you reach any time point you want to go back to. Please note that this time point cannot be selected by yourself. There are three chances in total."
Jian Yue was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that this item had a limited number of uses. This was too much of a rip-off.
But if I could go back in time...
He just thought for a moment, looking at the people coming and going in the hall. These seemed to be the reality he longed for, but when he stood here, he felt strange. After Jiang Xianyu died, he stayed in the world for a few years. He dealt with his funeral and returned to the central city of the base. He began to pack up his belongings. In fact, he had always thought that he had adapted to the separation and was mentally prepared.
Jiang Xianyu is not in good health.
He suffered a lot in that war, and almost single-handedly resisted the attack of the magnetic storm. When he was young, his father sent him to the laboratory. His body had been tortured since childhood, and he was just holding on.
Many people came to his funeral.
Everyone knew that they had a good relationship as a couple, and many people wanted to come to comfort Jian Yue, but Jian Yue didn't see anyone. In his last moments, he just sat quietly in front of Jiang Xianyu's mourning hall, staring at his photo in a daze.
Xiaopang walked over to him and said, "In fact, he has always felt that life is painful. Hatred has kept him alive for the animals that died tragically and for the safety of our brothers. He has never been happy, but he is happy now that you are here. I can see that he feels that life is meaningful now. It is not because of saving people that he did not live long, but because he saved you that he can live until now. Boss must be very happy. Thank you, really."
Jian Yue listened to him quietly, and after a long while she said, "Meeting him is also my happiness."
Before meeting Jiang Xianyu, he had always lived alone.
He is not brave enough, and will be afraid and run away when encountering danger. Xiaoyu will give him things to protect himself. He is greedy for money, not generous enough, and is often considered stingy. Jiang Xianyu gives him the financial power of the entire base. He will praise him for his good planning, because every penny he calculates will benefit the people.
He grew up like a weed since he was a child. Because of his poverty and his inexplicable persistence, he seemed out of place in the crowd, whether in reality or in the nightmare world.
The people around us, more or less, come for profit, leave for profit, gather together for warmth, or cooperate to overcome difficulties.
Only Jiang Xianyu was kind to him without asking for anything in return. Jiang Xianyu gave him everything he wanted and didn't want. Jian Yue felt that everything in the world should be balanced with give and take, but his Xiaoyu only hated that she didn't give him enough.
After returning from the funeral.
Jian Yue stayed in their bedroom for a long time, until the lingering scent of plum blossoms had dissipated and almost disappeared, but he still didn't want to go out and leave.
Until someone knocked on the door.
A small robot came in. Jian Yue was a little surprised. The robot brought a small box. When the box was opened, there was a dragon-shaped jade pendant inside. The whole body of the jade pendant was fiery red. When he touched the jade pendant, a voice came from the jade pendant. It was a familiar, low voice. Jiang Xianyu's voice came from inside: "Madam."
Jian Yue was subconsciously stunned.
Next second.
A voice came from the jade pendant: "I love you."
He froze, as if realizing something, and patted the jade pendant again, and the jade pendant spoke again: "I love you."
The time is set on the machine.
Jian Yue discovered that the date on it was today, and it said happy birthday to him. Today was his birthday, and he vaguely remembered something from a long time ago.
One day, when he and Jiang Xianyu were walking outside, they saw a couple in love. He suddenly wanted to tease the people around him, so he said, "Xiaoyu, why don't you say you love me more often?"
Jiang Xianyu said: "If I remember correctly, we talked about it every night."
"That's not enough." Jian Yue teased him with a smile, "What if I can't hear enough? What if I want to hear it when you're not around?"
Jiang Xianyu could see that he was just teasing him on purpose, so he just touched Jian Yue's head, sighed, and said nothing.
This happened so long ago that Jian Yue had already forgotten about it.
Tears fell on the jade pendant, and the person holding the jade pendant was trembling all over. The setting sun outside shone in, stretching the person's back very long. The man's voice kept ringing from the room, and the light of the jade pendant flickered until the sky was completely bright. Since that day, the door of Jian Yue's room opened, he walked out of the room, and he began to eat normally, talk normally, and communicate with others normally.
Tiantian said: "I was scared to death. You know, we were all very scared during those days, afraid that you would... would go with him..."
When she said this, she seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Jian Yue was so young, he was always happy, Jiang Xianyu took good care of him, even in his fifties or sixties he didn't have a single white hair, but in just a few days, his hair had become full of silver hair, he was still so handsome, even in his old age he still looked handsome, but his head was covered with countless white hair.
It turns out that a dead heart and great sadness can really destroy a person.
Jian Yue said, "Don't worry, I will live well in the future."
Li Meng asked him: "Why, have you figured it out?"
"No." Jian Yue held the bowl and ate in small bites while saying, "I'm afraid that if I die, I won't be able to hear him speak."
In the years that followed, the people around him left one after another, and Jian Yue's body was gradually dying. The jade pendant was always with him, and as the years passed, it became clearer and clearer in his memories of the past.
The moment I came out of the hall.
The jade pendant disappeared completely. Jian Yue stood in the hall, holding the time-traveling incense burner, and selected the button to confirm the time-traveling.
The incense burner seemed to be effective for only a moment, which was actually similar to the feeling he had when he entered the dungeon, because the incense burner had indicated that the time of backtracking was random, and Jian Yue didn't know which dungeon he would go back to.
Until I opened my eyes again.
The only sound I could hear was the sound of mechanical ticking.
Jian Yue opened his eyes in a trance after feeling weightless, and saw the big white wall and the narrow bed. He sat up in a daze, not knowing which copy this was. Wasn't this a replay copy? Why didn't he have any impression of it at all?
suddenly--
There was a knock on the door outside.
Someone in a white coat walked in and said, "Little boy No. 27, get ready. Your mother is coming to pick you up today."
Jian Yue sat up in confusion, not knowing who this person was, but he continued to walk outside to find out what was going on. When he got outside, he was stunned when he saw the situation outside.
This is the laboratory.
But there was no such vessel at the outermost part. He walked outside and saw a woman talking to someone next to her. She said, "The child is still young, just teach him well. Your Xiaoyu is in poor health, so it's a good thing to send him abroad for recuperation. You are going to Qinsha Mountain this time, and when the research mission is over, you can go abroad to pick him up."
Jian Yue was shocked, and following the light from outside, he saw a woman with a bun on her hair, Xiaoyu's mother!
He remembered that Xiaoyu's mother died when Xiaoyu was very young, but he didn't know why she died. He saw the woman was about to leave and get in the car.
Jian Yue ran over quickly, grabbed the corner of the woman's clothes and said, "When you went to Qinsha Mountain, you found a box in the tomb you dug. It was the box where the queen was buried. There is something in it that can save your son. You must take it out!"
The dawn is standing upright -
Everyone was a little surprised.
After Jian Yue finished speaking, he felt a tingling sensation all over his body, his vision became blurred, and he passed out.
When I woke up again.
The system panel popped up and said to him: "Time travel cannot change the original time trajectory, otherwise it will overdraw the tasker's life value in this world. Please be careful not to do anything that goes against the character's personality!"
Jian Yue sat up from the bed, feeling tired.
But soon, he realized that the small room in this laboratory was more familiar. He had been here before.
There were screams of pain coming from outside the wall. They were the screams of animals. Jian Yue jumped off the bed and saw the bodies of animals being dragged out. Someone in a white coat said, "We failed again. Let's try again. We don't have much time left. We must find a way to strengthen our bodies before the magnetic storm comes..."
Then.
Jian Yue saw the boy receiving an IV in the vessel in the middle.
A man in a white coat said, "We found the bone genes of the dragon race at Qinsha Mountain. As long as we can successfully evolve with the dragon race's abilities, we will succeed!"
The young boy lying in the vessel curled up in pain, black air coming out of his whole body, his blood vessels seemed to be swelled, and blood was oozing out of his hands in agony.
Xiaoyu...
It’s Jiang Xianyu!
Jian Yue's eyes widened. His brain lost its rationality in an instant. He rushed over without caring about anything and smashed the glass. He pulled off the glass jar. The young child kept shouting, "Stop! What are you doing!"
Many people rushed over and subdued him, and the young child couldn't break free at all.
The black-haired boy lying inside finally opened his eyes and looked at him. His dark scarlet eyes were as scary as a wild beast. Jian Yue's tears fell. He mustered up infinite courage. He rushed over and bought a hammer from the mall and smashed the glass. He fell on the broken glass and hugged the man covered in blood without a care in the world.
Even if he was pulled away by the group of people behind him who were sober.
Jiang Xianyu whispered: "You can't take me away."
"I can." Jian Yue's eyes were red, and he felt infinite pain in his heart as he looked at the person in front of him. Love gives people infinite courage. He held his hand tightly and said, "Wait for me! Wait for me, I will definitely take you away!"
Amid a quarrel among a group of people, Jian Yue heard the system's warning sound when he was being taken out and completely fainted.
When I opened my eyes again.
Back in the square of the Nightmare Hall, the system panel popped up and said: "Warning: The tasker has already influenced the characters in the original timeline. Please pay attention to your words and actions!"
Jian Yue slowly came back to his senses. He finally understood why Xiaoyu's mother would specially leave the box for them to take, and how she knew about the future. It turned out that everything was because of him. He also finally understood why when he traveled through time, the original owner's personality was obviously very erratic and she would actually save people when she was young.
It turns out that this is the reason for everything.
"If it weren't for what I did," Jian Yue said to the system, "I'm afraid that dungeon world would have collapsed and become a nightmare dungeon again. Specifically, you should thank me. I didn't ask you for any fees, but you're trying to blackmail me?"
system:"……"
When it comes to bargaining, it is no match for Jian Yue.
The time-traveling incense burner is still lit, indicating that there are two more chances to go back to the past copy.
Jian Yue didn't know where he would return to next, but he didn't want to wait at all. The moment he pressed the button, a strange feeling inexplicably rose in his heart, as if something might change if he really pressed the button, but he would not stop.
With his guess in mind, Jian Yue entered the second retracing of the incense burner.
The same feeling of weightlessness came over me.
Jian Yue wondered in his mind which past copy the second time he would go back to would be. It would definitely be a more familiar world. However, when he really opened his eyes, he saw darkness in front of him.
A darkness that made him feel both strange and familiar.
Why can't I see it?
Which copy is this? Why is it so dark? Could he have traveled to a place where he was being chased by some ghosts? Countless speculations emerged in Jian Yue's mind.
Until someone's voice sounded from the side, with a hint of ridicule: "Little Moon, what are you daydreaming about?"
As he approached, a strong smell of blood approached.
Jian Yue raised his head suddenly. He couldn't see anything, but the man gave him an inexplicable feeling of danger. He asked tentatively, "Where did you go just now?"
"Kill something." The man said, "Don't touch me, I'm dirty."
Jian Yue always felt that this person was very familiar, with an inexplicable sense of familiarity. A guess emerged from the bottom of his heart. He hesitated for a moment, and heard the rustling sound beside him. He was not sure, "Xiao Yu?"
The people around him suddenly stopped.
Jian Yue felt inexplicably nervous. Could it be that he guessed wrong?
The man slowly approached, and finally his footsteps stopped in front of Jian Yue. He leaned over, and the smell of blood became even stronger. Just when Jian Yue's heart was in his throat, he felt something warm on his face, and heard the man's low and elegant voice, "It splashed on your face."
Jian Yue was a little confused: "What is it?"
The man paused and said, "Do you want to know?"
When Jian Yue was hesitating whether he should know it or not, his lips were covered. The man full of bloody smell hugged him, and his kiss was strong and overbearing, as if he wanted to tear the person in his arms apart and eat him into his stomach. Jian Yue couldn't see, so he could only subconsciously lean on the person in front of him. He hugged his neck, raised his whole neck, and was forced to respond to the kiss.
This dependent attitude seemed to please the person in front of him and soothed his sudden outburst of emotions.
Jian Yue could actually determine who the person in front of him was with this familiar kissing technique, which was why he did not resist at the first moment. However, this unfamiliar darkness made him feel more helpless and uneasy.
After the kiss, he panted a little.
The person in front of him brushed his red lips with his fingertips and said in a hoarse voice, "Do you know what it is now?"
Jian Yue guessed it, it was a sweet and fishy smell, and the person in front of him also had a strong smell of blood. He knew that he was injured, and wanted to sit up and check his injuries with some uneasiness.
The person next to him hugged him in his arms, as if in a completely protective gesture. Jian Yue didn't know which copy of Xiaoyu this was, but he knew that this person would not hurt him, because he hugged him in an almost pious and gentle manner and said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid of me, I will always protect you."
Jian Yue froze, and he said slowly: "Xiao Yu?"
The person next to me whispered, "Yeah."
Jian Yue said slowly: "I'm not afraid of you."
A soft laugh came from his ear, and the person holding him said, "Then why are you so stiff?"
Jian Yue: “…”
How could he not be stunned? Because he found that the man seemed to be his man, but he had no idea which copy he was tracing back to. Who wouldn’t be scared? ! ! !
