Shi Yu did not participate in their internal conversation. He just said "I'm going to wash my hands" and left the box.
When he came back after wiping the water droplets off his hands, the food had already been served in the private room and the seats were basically full, with only an empty seat next to Xiao Guangtuan.
Lian Gui was the first to stand up. He pulled up the person sitting next to him and pushed him directly in front of him, causing everyone at the table to look over.
Shi Yu stopped where he was.
Lian Gui's voice was extremely cold: "Apologize."
Zhong Shou had no idea what he had been told in the past few minutes. His collar was wrinkled, his left cheek showed reluctance, his right cheek showed reluctance, his eye sockets were still red, but his voice was very clear, word by word: "I'm sorry."
Lian Gui: "Why are you sorry?"
Zhong Shou lowered his head as if reciting a lesson: "I shouldn't have treated you like that, shouldn't have jumped to conclusions without finding out the truth, and shouldn't have said those nasty things on purpose to provoke you."
After a pause, he bent down 90 degrees and said, "Please forgive me."
The air conditioning was a bit low.
Shi Yu was only wearing a short-sleeved shirt, and he felt cold after standing in the vent for a while. He waited quietly for the other person to finish speaking, and then he said calmly: "It's okay."
Lian Gui finally let go.
Zhong Shou probably felt embarrassed and quickly returned to his chair.
Upon seeing this, Feng Qu immediately spoke up to smooth things over, and the atmosphere soon became lively again.
After what happened, the only person who could still act as if nothing had happened was Shi Yu, and Xiao Guangtuan who was dazzled by the colorful world when she went out for the first time.
Little Radish Head held garlic clams in one hand and blanched shrimps in the other. His mouth was full of oil and he mumbled, "My Lord, don't you want to eat?"
Shi Yu held a cup of tea, and the steam from the tea misted her eyelashes. "Don't talk when you have something in your mouth."
Xiao Guangtuan swallowed the food in his mouth and enthusiastically acted as a promotion ambassador: "Sir, do you eat clams?"
“I don’t like garlic.”
“Do you eat shrimp?”
“I don’t like shelling.”
“…”
Xiao Guangtuan silently took a tissue to wipe his hands, then unskillfully picked up a few shrimps with chopsticks and threw them into the empty plate in front of him.
Shi Yu glanced at him and asked, "You like it so much?"
The little ball of light nodded, picked up a shrimp and began to peel it, saying in a low voice: "The things here are very different from those in the God Realm. For example, this shrimp..."
He removed the shrimp’s tail and said, “There is only the Seabeard Dragon in the God Realm. Although it looks exactly like this one, we don’t call it a shrimp, and we don’t usually eat it as a dish, because ordinary Gods and people would go bankrupt if they wanted to buy one.”
As he spoke, he felt that he was showing off his expertise: "But you and the gods in charge must have tasted it..."
Shi Yu: “I haven’t tried it.”
Xiao Guangtuan was stunned: "Huh? Why?"
Shi Yu: "I don't need to eat to survive."
The daily life of the Lord God is probably similar to the private life of stars to their fans, and it is even more mysterious. The difference is that stars have paparazzi who dare to follow them, but the Lord God and other gods can only look up to him. Some speculate that he is extravagant and indulges in wine and women, while others argue that he lives a simple life. Some even say that he travels around the world year after year and his living standard depends entirely on local customs. The last guess here has won the most likes, because the gods have seen the Lord God so few times that it is natural for people to think that he is not in the temple at all.
...If not for this, before the incident that year, the main gods in the temple would not have gathered one after another to the god Fu Ye.
Xiao Guangtuan silently picked off the shrimp heads.
Shi Yu didn't know how many messy thoughts Xiao Guangtuan had because of his words. He lowered his head and drank a sip of hot tea, but at this moment, a white porcelain plate was handed to him.
It's covered with peeled shrimps.
The little light ball bent its eyes meekly and said crisply, "Sir, there's no need to peel the shell. Try it."
※
It was already ten o'clock in the evening when the dinner ended.
According to everyone's original plan, they should rush back to the nearby city where they originally worked after the dinner tonight, rest for a night and start making work summary reports the next day.
However, the fact is, I don't know who took the lead in suggesting that the waiter bring up two dozen beers, and after three hours of drinking, they began to lose track of each other.
Lian Gui looked at the table of monsters in silence. He really didn't want to admit that these were the members of his team. "Erqi, Xiao Liu, Qingfeng, you guys have to work harder today and take the others back."
After he gave his instructions, he stood up and said, “I’ll take you back to the community first.”
Shi Yu led Xiao Guangtuan back to Tianshui Lanwan and thanked him.
Lian Gui said casually: "I don't know when I can come back after I go back this time. It's troublesome to communicate about the case remotely. How about adding contact information?"
The little ball of light pricked up its ears beside it.
As soon as Lian Gui finished speaking, he wanted to bite off his tongue.
The air was silent for several seconds until a hand holding a mobile phone with the screen facing upwards handed it over: "Okay."
Lian Gui: “…What?”
Shi Yu looked at him: "Aren't you adding contact information?"
Lian Gui tried his best to remain calm but in fact he frantically took out his phone and scanned the QR code.
He actually had Shi Yu's contact information, because she had been listed as the first suspect, and he had a general idea of her phone number, address, and work situation. She had her social media account linked to her phone number, so he could send her a friend request at any time.
He just had no reason, he was afraid of offending, crossing the line, overstepping the bounds, and causing annoyance.
Even though he knew that the other party had no ill intentions, and that even if he squeezed into the other party's list, his weight in the other party's eyes would probably be no different from that of a passerby, he still couldn't help but feel his heart pounding.
Lian Gui waited for the other party to pass, carefully put away his phone, and brought the topic back on track: "By the way, has Xin Zhihe found a guardian?"
Xiao Guangtuan had been staring at the two people's mobile phones, and now he became alert instantly.
Shi Yu: “Not yet.”
Lian Gui: "If you don't mind, why don't you keep him at my house for a while?"
Shi Yu lowered her head and asked for my opinion: "Do you want to go?"
The little light ball shook his head and left an afterimage: "I'm not going!"
Shi Yu raised his head: "He doesn't want to."
Lian Gui narrowed his eyes.
Xiao Guangtuan had learned his lesson and decided not to confront him head-on. He hid behind Shi Yu and grabbed a piece of his clothes. His voice was as pitiful as it could be: "Sir... I really won't cause you any trouble. You don't have to bother taking care of me. If I'm hungry or thirsty, I can go back to the player space to solve it myself. I only come out occasionally..."
He paused, and said in a soft, nasal voice: "Don't abandon me, okay?"
Lian Gui stared at him for three seconds: "Do you know the player space?"
“…”
"You can enter and exit the divine realm at any time, so you are the system administrator of the adult player space?"
“…”
So, never underestimate the insight of the police.
Xiao Guangtuan's true identity was exposed, but fortunately it turned out to be a blessing in disguise and he was finally able to follow Shi Yu back to the apartment.
※
Lian Gui sat in the driver's seat and watched the two people walk in. After a while, he took out a cigarette from the storage box, lit it, bit the filter and opened his cell phone.
The newly added dialog box is clean and has only a greeting from the system.
He clicked on the note and changed it to Shi Yu's name. After thinking about it, he felt it was wrong, so he deleted it and changed it to "Sir". After thinking about it again, he added "Lord God" in front of "Sir".
Lian Gui looked at it for a while and found himself laughing.
During the time when Yu Yang Shen was imprisoned, he questioned him more than once, asking why he was blind, why he admitted his mistake, and why he firmly believed that the other party was the Lord God as if he was possessed. Obviously, the Lord God stayed in the temple well from beginning to end. Logically, anyone who saw Shi Yu should naturally suspect that he was the traitor just like Yu Yang Shen.
The reason why he recognized her was actually far more than just a similar temperament. There are so many people in this world who look alike, not to mention just personalities. Moreover, his understanding of Shi Yu's personality was only superficial, and he only saw a thin layer.
Twenty-four years ago, when he was still in the God Realm, the news that the God Fu Ye had assassinated the main god and rebelled against the temple had just spread in the God Realm. Many gods were affected and injured and were dismissed from their original positions. In order to maintain normal operations, the temple began to recruit new members on a large scale.
He passed the selection and got a job in the temple. Although it was just an insignificant position, his companions still envied him and told him tearfully: Gouzi, after you enter the temple, you must learn to take care of yourself, don't drop your food on the ground, don't drool on your body, don't pee on the bed, and so on.
The last one was kicked by him.
He was assigned to the Sifang Watchtower. He didn't know what had happened to the senior who was in charge of teaching him. Apart from appearing at the beginning and bringing him to the place, he disappeared. He didn't know whether he was too busy to take care of him or he just took a half-day break. He didn't dare to disturb him, so he could only study hard on his own with his employment book in hand.
What happened during the learning process will not be described here for the time being. Anyway, in the end, when he inserted the image stone into the groove, a light suddenly flashed in the dim shadow room in front of him.
Gray bricks and stones, a black medicine pool, and a person curled up under the water. The exposed part of his body was nailed with long bronze nails, his black hair was scattered in knots, and his cheeks were blurred.
It was all blood, bright red enough to pierce a person's eyes.
He was stunned, and for a moment he didn't know whether he was more panicked by the violation of the regulations when seeing the contents of the video, or more shocked by suddenly seeing such a scene.
Until the person in the picture was suddenly disturbed and slowly opened his eyes.
Those were a pair of eyes that had appeared in his dreams countless times, and they were so familiar to him.
There were sudden footsteps outside the door. His hand trembled, the picture in front of him was shattered, and the image stone fell heavily to the ground.
He was so panicked that he didn't know what to do. Logically, the best thing to do at this time would be to pretend to be working hard and knowing nothing. However, he made the stupidest decision at the critical moment - he pulled open the blinds on the wall and climbed out directly, with his hands tightly clasped on the window sill, but his body was hanging in the air.
The door of the resting room was pushed open, and two gods came in.
"Didn't you say you hired a new kid to help you make image rubbings?" This was the first voice.
"Maybe he went somewhere to slack off." This was the second person's voice.
The first one stepped forward and took a quick look. Without much hesitation, he picked up a piece of stone from the ground. There was a scratch on it from falling on the ground. "Get the things and go."
The second one hummed lazily.
Through the window leaves, he recognized the second voice as the chief god who brought him here to report, who was ranked eighth in the temple.
The two men over there had just opened the door of the retreat room, but the first one suddenly turned around and attacked the shutters, which were still hot, with a concentrated attack of divine power: "Why don't you get out?!"
He was so scared that he let go and fell directly from the window sill on the seventh floor. Even though he was falling at a free fall speed, a strand of his hair was still singed by the high concentration of divine power. When he landed, he turned around and ran without hesitation.
He didn't know why the other party's first move was a killing move, but he still had some rationality and knew that if he was caught like this, he would be in great danger.
But he was just a small god, how could he outrun the main god? After finally arriving in front of the Yundu Pond, his back was already full of holes cut by the opponent's divine power.
The shadow of death was like a mountain pressing down on his head. In a fit of excitement, he turned around and jumped into the Yundu Pond.
There is a saying in the divine world that the water of Yundu Pond was transformed by the divine power of the main god in order to shield the black flames and protect millions of lives.
The Yundu Pond is connected to the human world.
He leaped into the world of mortals.
