Chapter 371 Ridiculous Mission
Gu Nan and Chunyi followed the two brothers back to Lin Jingchun's villa.
With the Gu family's previous experience as a lesson, Lin Jingzhe did not rashly bring the person in. Instead, he first controlled the artificial intelligence housekeeper to check the house inside and out, and confirmed that there was nothing abnormal before taking the person home.
After changing into comfortable slippers, Gu Nan and Chunyi sat down on the sofa.
Lin Jingzhe squatted in front of the artificial intelligence housekeeper to modify the data, while Lin Jingchun was busy serving tea and washing fruit for Gu Nan.
Without the TV on, the empty living room felt a bit deserted.
Gu Nan stroked the bracelet on his wrist from time to time, as if thinking about something.
The inspector should have arrived at the community to deal with the high-level special forces. I wonder if they will still suppress it with thermal weapons fire in the same way as they would with ordinary special forces.
Maybe it's difficult? Gu Nan thought, after all, even Junyi found that kind of thing difficult.
The information Cui Shao gave her did not mention that there were different levels of special forces. The operator's tone was also very flustered when describing the special forces to the inspector. It seems that even in government departments, there are not many high-level special forces.
Species that parasitize the human body generally produce varying degrees of deformation, so their camouflage ability is not strong. Their main purpose after entering the human population is to assimilate humans.
But the high-level special forces like the one Gu Nan saw today have extremely strong camouflage abilities and clear expression abilities, and look no different from ordinary people to the naked eye.
If it wants to assimilate more humans and realize greater value, it should try hard to hide its identity. Why does it insist on sending dumplings to Gu Nan after being rejected?
Is it because the Gu family is his ultimate goal?
Was he in that neighborhood because it was a famous scientific research and teaching community in Kyoto?
But if that was really the case, and he didn't enter the room at all, how did Gu Jin disappear out of thin air?
Gu Nan's mind was in a knot, so he simply asked Jiang Wanying, "Is anyone else in the community still alive?"
Jiang Wanying was not threatened by the special flesh parasites, so she took a general look at the situation in the community before leaving.
Jiang Wanying replied: "Most of them are dead, but some have disappeared just like your mother."
"How did he die?"
"Drained by those monsters."
"Those? Did you see other special forces?" Gu Nan asked.
Jiang Wanying: "No. I was just guessing. After all, so many people died, one or two people couldn't do it at all."
Jiang Wanying's guess made sense, but it also made people's hair stand on end.
So many people died together, but there was no big noise. The only possibility is that there were many special forces hidden there a long time ago.
Those people who disappeared out of thin air...are they the special ones hiding in the crowd?
Gu Nan didn't dare to think about it anymore and sat down on the carpet with his knees hugged.
Jiang Wanying sat down beside her, put her arm around her shoulders, and comforted her silently.
Junyi sat with Gu Nan for a while, then got up and went to the kitchen to help.
When Lin Jingchun saw Junyi come in, he paused, but ignored him and quickly devoted himself to making the dishes again.
While washing vegetables, Junyi observed Lin Jingchun's cooking process, which was similar to what she expected.
Junyi stopped what he was doing and broke the silence, "Lin Jingchun, can I call you that?"
Lin Jingchun nodded.
Junyi: "I read your fortune, do you want to know the result?"
Lin Jingchun was stunned for a moment, turned his head, and looked at Chunyi with a surprised but clear look, as if to say: Is this your business?
Chunyi felt that Lin Jingchun had a better temper than Lin Jingzhe and Qi Yan. If it weren't for their different identities, he would be willing to have a good chat with such a straightforward and pure person.
"Do you want to know?" Junyi asked again.
Lin Jingchun gave a slightly apologetic smile and shook his head, "No, thank you."
Junyi didn't press him for the answer anymore, and instead asked, "You don't believe this?"
Lin Jingchun turned back and continued to look at the ribs in the pot. "It's okay. I believe it a little, but not too much."
His attitude towards gods and Buddhas is somewhat similar to Gu Nan's. He doesn't pin his hopes and choices in life on praying to gods and Buddhas, but he is willing to occasionally make some beautiful wishes, such as hoping that there is reincarnation in the world and that Gu Nan can come back again.
The wish came true and Gu Nan came back.
Lin Jingchun smiled.
Junyi noticed his smile and couldn't help but say, "Your fate is very similar to mine."
Lin Jingchun: "Hmm?"
"And Qi Yan, the three of us have almost identical numerologies. Do you know what this means?"
Lin Jingchun shook his head, "What?"
"Guess?"
Lin Jingchun still shook his head.
Junyi decided to take back his words. Lin Jingchun was too dull, boring and indifferent to continue the conversation.
Chunyi prepared the dishes, washed her hands and left the kitchen.
Gu Nan was still sitting there, maintaining his previous posture without moving, but Lin Jingzhe was sitting in his place.
Noticing his gaze, Lin Jingzhe looked back.
Two cold and penetrating gazes met, but without any sparks, they both looked away.
Shortly after lunch, the inspector arrived as scheduled.
Four escort vehicles took the four people away separately.
Once again coming to the pure white interrogation room, Gu Nan felt no emotion.
She thought a lot that day, about the system, about the male protagonist, and about herself.
After breaking free from the confusion she was in and looking back calmly to sort out her experiences over the past few years, Gu Nan finally realized that her relationship with the system had been unequal from the very beginning.
On the surface, it is a win-win cooperation and mutual benefit, but in reality she has always been at a disadvantage.
Whether the task is completed or not, and whether to send her home after completion, all decisions are in the hands of the system.
She should have realized long ago that the so-called transformation mission was a joke.
If the system was truly capable, it would have directly bound the male protagonist to it, forcing Lin Jingchun not to sell her body, forcing Qi Yan to use legal means to protect her own interests, and forcing Chunyi not to practice dual cultivation with the evil spirit.
The subsequent corruption will not happen, there will be no middlemen to make a profit from the price difference, and the system will not have to endure her scolding.
But it just bound itself to do that ridiculous rescue mission.
Why?
The system is kind-hearted and only gives benefits to poor people?
Oh.
Gu Nan asked himself again.
Why yourself?
She came to this world to complete a mission. Is the key with her or with the male protagonist?
If she were in this world, twisted, absurd, and dangerous, she would never come if she had a choice.
If it was the male protagonist, she didn't know them at all, so why did they choose her? Could it be that the similar fate of the three of them is the breakthrough to the truth?
Gu Nan couldn't understand.
"Gu Bei."
The auditor in a black and gold uniform pushed the door open and walked in. He threw the folder in his hand directly onto the table with a "bang" sound.
Gu Nan looked up.
The other party sat down across from the interrogation table and said coldly, "The system has checked your background thoroughly. No more nonsense, just confess."
