After the black fog disappeared, everything returned to calm.
Chu Yanyan squatted down, picked up the carrots that were pulled out and mixed with soil, broke them in half, and heard a crisp sound. These carrots were still edible.
His eyes suddenly lit up. He put the two broken halves of the radish aside and then pulled up the radish hidden in the soil.
Gu Jianheng withdrew his hand. He looked at Chu Yanyan, who was squatting with her butt sticking out, concentrating on pulling out radishes. Seeing the other party's eager movements, a smile inadvertently appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Suddenly, a figure appeared outside the white greenhouse. When Gu Jianheng looked up, the shadow walked away.
The smile on Gu Jianheng's face disappeared. He glanced at Chu Yanyan who was pulling radishes, and walked towards her silently.
Chu Yanyan pulled out one carrot after another. These carrots were very small and he could eat one in two bites. However, it was good enough to have them. He planned to pull them out, then modify the greenhouse and plant the carrot seeds he got from the system.
After pulling out a bunch of radishes, he felt like something was missing. Yes, it was a bit quiet. Chu Yanyan turned around and looked behind him, only to find no one behind him. He stood up with the radishes he had just pulled out, turned his head and looked around, but he didn't see Gu Jianheng. Seeing this, he couldn't help but feel a little panicked: "Xiao Qi, where is Gu Jianheng?"
Not getting a response from the system, Chu Yanyan squatted down, took out a black plastic bag from his pocket, and put the radishes on the ground into the bag. When it was full, he tied a knot, picked it up, and walked outside, shouting, "Gu Jianheng."
His voice echoed in the clearing, but there was no response from Gu Jianheng, which made Chu Yanyan even more panicked. If Gu Jianheng secretly left and committed suicide, wouldn't his mission be a failure? If he failed, there would be no carrots.
Chu Yanyan was holding the bag, looking around, jogging, and calling Gu Jianheng's name, but still couldn't see Gu Jianheng.
Finally, he stopped, squatted down, and took a carrot from the bag. He wiped the mud off it with the back of his hand. Once the surface looked clean, he began to bite into it. As he bit, his eyes gradually became misty and red as he stared at the empty surroundings. He looked a little lonely.
The system was offline for a while, but after finally reconnecting with Chu Yanyan, it saw Chu Yanyan's pitiful appearance, abandoned by others. The system couldn't help but feel sympathy and asked, "Yanyan, what's wrong with you?"
Hearing the long-lost voice, Chu Yanyan could no longer hold back the tears in her eyes. Tears trickled down her cheeks, and even the radish in her mouth no longer tasted good. "Xiao Qi, why did you show up just now? I thought you had abandoned me."
"Well, I'm bound to you, how can I leave you just like that? Tell me, Yanyan, what do you want from me?" The system comforted him.
Chu Yanyan stopped crying and reported the situation to the system seriously: "Xiao Qi, I know what's strange here. This world is not the real world, it might be a virtual world."
"A virtual world... a game world? If that's the case, I've already sent you into this NPC's body. If the target character wants to leave, we can't stop them."
Chu Yanyan was shocked when she heard this: "If you say that, then there is no place for me in the real world where Gu Jianheng is. Am I just an NPC in this world?"
Chu Yanyan's question made the system feel a little guilty. Logically, it was the fault on its side. "That's true, but don't worry too much. I'll find a body to house you in Gu Jianheng's real world."
"Oh, thank you for your help. But on the way here with Gu Jianheng, I heard someone say that they can't go back to the real world, and if they are killed here now, they can't go back."
"Huh? There's this?" The system was stunned. It checked for a while and then gave an answer: "Then you must stay alive and don't let others kill you. I can't find the intersection between here and the outside world yet. If you die, there's nothing I can do. The mission in this plane will fail."
"If I stop Gu Jianheng from losing the desire to live before I die, will it be successful?" Chu Yanyan said suddenly.
The system was silent for a moment, then said, "I think it's unlikely, because the situation is different now. The target of the mission has developed lustful feelings towards you. If you die, he will definitely not survive, and may even hate this world even more."
