In fact, it’s not that nothing was discovered, nor that there are no flaws at all.
When Ji Song grabbed 021 who was about to enter the room, Xu Shiqing was already sleeping in the room.
[According to the Spacetime Bureau's family regulations, with my consent, you are also my host.] 021 said the last sentence with a somewhat reluctant tone, unable to hide it.
"Anything you can do, I can do too." Ji Song waved his hand. He took the system to the balcony and lit a cigarette with a somewhat worried look on his face. "Something else."
021 shook his body up and down. This was the residential area for players in the Infinite Game, so he didn't have to worry about being seen.
[What's the matter?] He was curious. [You wouldn't hide anything bad from Shi Qing, would you?]
Ji Song didn't even frown at the seemingly gloating words from this person whom he once regarded as a rival in love. It was because his system was too low-level. From Xu Shiqing's words, 021 was completely his good friend and good son.
"I gave him the Nine-Aperture Exquisite Heart." Ji Song scratched his hair. He didn't even dare to mention this matter. He really couldn't figure out the account with Gu Qingli, and he didn't know whose fault it was.
"So you gave him this good thing." 021 was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was worried about and said, "I think you should just clean yourself up and explain it to him."
After all, the real culprit in Gu Qingli's incident has always been the game, not the Nine-Aperture Exquisite Heart, nor Xu Shiqing or Ji Song.
[However, it's really embarrassing for you to issue such a big commission just to meet someone.]
021 Complaint: "Why don't you just go through the formalities at the bureau? I guarantee you'll have the banquet right there."
Although the mission is now completed, they still got fat from eating this meal.
"...I want to be soul-bound with him." Ji Song shook the butt of his cigarette, and amidst 021's complaints about his immorality, he said with a touch of melancholy, "But I don't know if I should say it."
[……] 021 said, "Soul binding, you're being a bit presumptuous. This is something we should really consider carefully."
None of his systems dared to establish a soul binding with Xu Shiqing. Ji Song was a little girl who had only dated two worlds, and it seemed frivolous to the system to bring up this.
Soul binding means that from now on, no matter how far away they are, they can accurately sense each other. Few hosts in the Spacetime Bureau use this, mainly because life spans have increased, and people don't necessarily need each other. Binding is actually very restrictive.
Basically, when people meet someone they really like, they make a soul contract. If things can't go on, they just cancel it without affecting their future.
Unlike Ji Song, who was eager to bind the two worlds after just talking about them. Unbinding this thing is hundreds of times more troublesome than binding it.
"Although his current strength is quite good, it's still not enough." Ji Song shook his head. This was the truth. "So I want to discuss this matter with him, not take action."
"We can't bind him until he's as strong as me, or even strong enough to beat me up."
He made a joke, not too big or too small: "If anything happens to me, he can protect himself."
"You're quite kind, then." 021 felt a little more favorable towards him, saying, "In the cases I've seen before, many of them involved one strong party and one weak party, with the weak party either becoming stronger later or the strong party protecting the weak. It's quite rare for someone like you to wait for someone to become as strong as you."
This meant that Xu Shiqing had less risk to bear, at least the same as Ji Song. After all, soul binding meant that any problem on one side would affect the other.
When one party is strong and the other is weak, the weak party will bear much more risks than the strong party.
Few people really consider this kind of unfairness.
"Why else do you think I was so eager to get him to do this?" Ji Song said, "Everyone likes to say that love doesn't need to care about so many differences, but in fact, it is precisely this kind of contempt that is more likely to hurt each other."
"Because disparities and inequalities will not disappear simply by ignoring them."
"People can't always be calm and rational." Ji Song thought of the second world and said, "So I have to think more about him, and even help him guard against myself when necessary. At least if one day I want to do something to hurt him, he will have a way out."
The collar was for himself, so he couldn't bear to let Xu Shiqing wear it.
[Wow, then I think you should just talk to Shi Qing directly. I guarantee he'll work hard and become stronger.] 021 said, [What are you still hesitating about?]
"But I must sort things out with him from the beginning." Ji Song said. He would not let any misunderstanding happen between him and Xu Shiqing. The process of frank discussion was also a communication between two souls about the future.
But that's where the problem lies.
"I'm hesitant about whether to tell him that I've been through more than three worlds with him."
[This is only his fourth time in this world...] 021 was silent.
He was shocked [Huh?!]
"Keep your voice down, I finally fell asleep." Ji Song slapped the system to the ground. It jumped up from the ground silently and then jumped again.
[...Gu, Gu Yi...?] 021 felt a little bewildered after seeing him nod. [Oh my god, you... no, you're kind of crazy, right?]
Xu Shiqing has only a few family members, but he occupies the partner column. Among the brothers, he is the only two eldest brothers.
What a sin.
"...I was actually quite self-destructive back then." Ji Song lit another cigarette. "You should have seen the file about the XS1314 world, which is set in the National Destiny Game. Ultimately, the story spiraled out of control and was on the verge of destruction. The Space-Time Bureau sent many missioners to save it, but they all failed in the end."
