Although Feng Qu was very confused, he naturally followed the principle of listening to his boss. He looked at the other person's miserable appearance, thought about it, and decided to drag him up and carry him to a bench not far away out of humanitarianism: "Hey, tell me, how did you offend my boss?"
Yu Yang Shen's face was so gloomy that water could drip out of it: "I warn you, let me go as soon as possible..."
"My boss said he couldn't let you go, so I can't do anything about it." Feng Qu lightly held his hands and said in surprise, "But then again, brother, you really lack exercise. You look so tall, how come you are so useless?"
Yuyangshen: "You..."
He tried to hold it in for a long time but couldn't utter a single swear word, so he could only repeat in vain: "Let me go!"

Lian Gui pushed open the door of the ward.
Shi Yu hadn't woken up yet, lying quietly on the hospital bed, sweat pouring down his forehead, his lips were pale, and his face was even paler. The thin needle was stuck in the blue veins on the back of his hand, and the transparent infusion tube hung down lifelessly.
Lian Gui's knowledge of the human body was limited to the required high school biology textbook. He hadn't reacted to what the doctor said about blood congestion in the ambulance. It was not until he saw with his own eyes the doctor easily draw out a syringe full of abdominal blood from his abdomen that he felt his whole body go cold.
I just don't know if it was because the cause of the other party's injury was too special, or because the other party was too special. It took dozens of minutes to get to the hospital. The results after the examination were much more optimistic than the doctor's judgment dozens of minutes ago. In the end, the plan to go to the operating room was temporarily shelved.
Even if Lian Gui was stupid, he knew that with that amount of bleeding it was unlikely that conservative treatment would be appropriate, but he did not raise any objections and silenced all the people involved. Only at this moment did he have the chance to stop and take a closer look at the other person's appearance.
As he looked at her, he raised his hand as if possessed, wanting to touch the other person's brows which were furrowed in discomfort, but at this moment, the curtain next to him was suddenly pulled open with a "rustle".
A child grabbed the isolation curtain and looked at him curiously: "Big brother, are you a policeman?"
Lian Gui withdrew his hand without leaving a trace, his eyes fell on the child's head, and he paused slightly: "Not really."
If it doesn’t count, then does it count or not?
The child couldn't figure it out, so he shook his head, and the woolen hat on his head was a little tilted. He straightened the hat and looked at the bed again: "Is that my sister on the bed?"
Lian Gui corrected: "It's my brother."
The child said "Oh" and his eyes curved into crescents: "Brother is so beautiful."
Lian Gui lowered his head and looked at Shi Yu's face. He was silent for a long time before he softly replied, "She is very beautiful."
Although everyone in the God Realm knew of the existence of the Lord God, everyone also knew that the Lord God never showed his true face, and when he occasionally appeared before the world, he always wore a mask.
The lesser gods who didn't even have a name had no chance to meet such an existence. On weekdays, they would just sneak up to the outskirts of the temple with their friends to absorb the pure divine power that was overflowing. Only after they were satisfied would they imagine what the main god looked like.
Only once.
He remembered that day happened to be the First Yuan Festival in the divine world. The leaders of the temple went out together to worship under the fairy tree. He slept until the evening, and when he went out, he found that the guards on both sides of the temple were gone.
Although the word "temple" has the word "palace" in its name, its specifications should be considered as a city. It is surrounded by lakes and canals like a moat. Not only ninety-nine gods live inside, but also the supreme being.
In fact, the temple did not explicitly prohibit ordinary minor gods from entering, but because there were guards standing nearby as if watching them at all times, most of the minor gods only walked around the door a few times. Except for the main god, only a very small number of gods with sufficient ability or power were qualified to go in and take a look.
Now the gods in charge are not here, and neither are the guards outside. The temple that is so close at hand is like the Garden of Eden full of bright red apples to the little gods, whose curiosity and desire to explore are at their peak at that time. It has the right time, place and people.
Lian Gui sneaked into the temple gate with a secretive and curious mind and went straight to the center.
Until a clear pond appeared before my eyes.
Lian Gui was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized that this was the "Yundu Pond" mentioned by other gods.
He approached with small steps, and just as he was about to touch the stone towers surrounding the Yundu Pond, he suddenly seemed to sense something. Looking up, he saw a figure walking towards him from under the corridor. His eyes trembled slightly, and then gradually moved upwards.
The cloud crossing was as clear as a mirror, and the platinum flame in the center was burning darkly in the water, reflecting the other person's spotless white clothes, silver-white mask, and beautiful eyes.
The stare-gaze session lasted less than two seconds before the other party looked away first, calmly turning his gaze away and walking out of the temple.
When he passed Yundu Pond, his sleeves tightened slightly. The other party stopped and looked down at him again.
"you……"
Lian Gui was still racking his brains to find a topic to talk about, but the other party spoke first.
"Hello."
The voice is clear and cold, with excellent timbre.
Lian Gui stared at him blankly, without responding for a long time.
The air was quiet for more than ten seconds. The other party bent down slightly and looked at him straight in the eye, but his voice was not urgent: "Is there something you want to talk to me about?"
Lian Gui felt as if he was being burned from the inside out, his heartbeat so fast that it almost jumped out of his throat. He stepped back and bumped into the stone tower by the pool: "Why don't you allow us to enter the temple? I can only come in now when there is no one outside."
The other party was slightly stunned.
Lian Gui then realized that there was too much complaint in his words, and he ran away without waiting for the other party to answer.
Even if he didn't see the other person's face, he would recognize him because the person's outfit was so iconic.
The fleeting glimpse at that time was like an absurd dream he had under his pillow when he was young and ignorant. Even though he heard it and saw it, he didn't feel any reality after waking up. He believed that it was just a fleeting illusion.
...But what they didn't expect was that the guards around the temple were evacuated next, and from the Tiangong Lake Canal to the Yundu Pond, and even further in, as long as they did not step into the private territories of the main gods, they began to be opened to the minor gods outside the temple.
The temple no longer has the unspoken rule that only high-level gods can enter. His companions still drag him to the temple early every morning to absorb "the first breath of fresh divine power every morning", but the place has moved from outside the temple to inside the temple.
The companion sighed with satisfaction and lay down in the grass: "I didn't expect that the temple would be open to the public directly after the Chuyuan Festival. We really caught up with the time."
Lian Gui thought to himself, the sudden opening of the temple to the public might not be because of the Chuyuan Festival, but because of me. Do you believe it?
The companion grumbled: "It's a pity that even if the temple is open, we probably won't have the chance to see the Lord God. He probably won't condescend to come to a place where so many unknown gods gather."
Lian Gui thought to himself, the Lord God would not only come to a place like ours where so many unknown gods gather, but he would also condescend to talk to a unknown god like me. Do you believe it?
My companion was still babbling, "You said that the Lord God never meets with the gods and never takes off his mask. Is there any connection between the two? For example, he doesn't look like a god or something?"
Lian Gui had no words to refute this time, so he just remained silent.
Why did he think that Shi Yu was the god from that year?
Because after that day, he never saw anyone again who could make people understand what gentleness was with just one glance.
Lian Gui stood in front of the bed, pulled the isolation curtain again, turned around and opened the window a little, and was blown in the face by the scorching June wind outside. He closed his eyes subconsciously, and his eye sockets were swollen and painful.

There was darkness in the vision.
Shi Yu stayed in the darkness for a few seconds. As soon as he raised his hand, a light screen with personal information appeared in front of him.
He was stunned for a moment, then realized that this time he was probably in the same state as before, his body fell into an "unconscious resting" state, so his mind was directly pulled into the player space.
...It's still a little different.
At least this time when he opened his eyes, there was no ball of light in front of him saying "Welcome back".
Shi Yu sat in the dark and thought for a moment: "Administrator?"
Two seconds later.
A ball of white light appeared in the air, and it responded very reluctantly: "...Yeah."
Shi Yu looked at it and said, "Can you send me back to reality?"
Xiao Guangtuan: "Do you want to return to reality?"
Xiao Guangtuan: "Are you planning to return to reality?"
Xiao Guangtuan: "You actually came back to reality just like that?!"
“…”
Shi Yu asked, "Is it not possible?"
Xiao Guangtuan was stunned by the question and held it in for a long time: "Don't you want to take a look at the rewards you won in the last game now?"
Shi Yu: “No.”
What was he looking at? Which E-level the system had picked for him?
Xiao Guangtuan was silent for a long time and said, "You will be assigned to the upper nine heavens group in the next game. Don't you plan to learn about the relevant rules in advance?"
Shi Yu: “I don’t plan to.”
Xiao Guangtuan was silent for a long time again: "You only visited one street in the game hall last time, don't you want to visit the rest of it?"
"No." Shi Yu said, "Can you take me back?"
The little ball of light was deflated by his words, and in the blink of an eye it swelled up like a balloon: "You... don't you have anything to say?"
Shi Yu's expression did not change, he just asked: "What do you want to ask?"
Xiao Guangtuan was stunned for a long time.
What does it want to ask?
It has so many questions.
The gods in charge of the temple originally brought these unknown gods from the divine world to serve as system administrators. Although nominally they help manage the order of players and teach players how to familiarize themselves with the process, in fact everyone knows that their real mission is to monitor these humans.
For this reason, the gods in charge gave them the authority to spy on players' dynamics anytime and anywhere: except when players enter the game, they can see what players are doing in the player space or in the mortal world.
So it knows that the other party had a car accident in reality, and knows why the other party was pulled into the player space every time outside the game time.
He also knew that the Sun God had once descended upon the mortal world with the intention of destroying the heavens and the earth, and he also knew that the man before him had once dragged the Sun God from a high altitude into the mud with one blow.
Yu Yang Shen had seen the Lord God face to face in the temple a few days ago, so he determined that Shi Yu could not be the Lord God and that he could only be Fu Ye Shen who had rebelled against the temple.
Lian Gui himself was not of a high rank as a god and had been away from the divine world for more than ten years. He did not know that in addition to the main god, there was actually another person in the temple who was accustomed to dressing in the same way. He determined that the one he had met was the main god himself, and he also determined that Shi Yu, who was extremely similar to that person, was the main god.
The two of them, based on their own cognition and perspective, directly insisted on an answer without even asking, and they were both extremely stubborn in this regard and would not listen to anything else. Unless Shi Yu and the man from the temple were called over to confront each other, it was doomed that no one would believe in anyone and no one would be able to suppress the other. Once they met, they would have to fight, and it would be a bloody fight.
Xiao Guangtuan watched the whole process and at this moment he felt that his mind was a mess.
It wanted to ask him, who are you?
Why are you in this world? Why did you change from a god to an ordinary person? And why did you manage to stay away from the sight of the remaining ninety-eight gods and survive?
What on earth did you go through back then? What on earth were you thinking when you heard me talking to you about the Lord, the temple, and the traitors?
It has so many questions, but it doesn't dare to ask any of them at the moment.
The temple originally recruited them as system managers of the divine domain because they alone could not take care of such a large number of people. Firstly, they did not have the energy, and secondly, they felt that these humans were not worthy of wasting so much of their time. Therefore, as administrators, as long as they did not take the initiative to report, the higher-ups actually did not know the specific process of their interactions with humans.
But once it takes the initiative to mention those words...it is unknown whether it will be caught by the gods above.
For a long, long time.
The little light ball whispered, "Nothing."
It said, "I'll take you back to reality."
