Chapter 44 "Eat You"
The shrill sound of the ambulance pierced the night sky of Qiuhai City. A cordon had already been set up along the river, and the busy figures of the staff responsible for finishing the work were everywhere.
The finishing work at the bar was not yet finished, but Chi Liu had already fallen asleep on the soft sofa wrapped in a thin blanket.
The dark blue tentacles surged in the lounge, almost filling the entire space!
Secretary Wen twitched his lips, but still did not intervene, and just closed the door gently.
The handsome young man on the sofa was sleeping peacefully, having a noisy dream.
"Brother Chi!" In his dream, the drunk Yao Bumei lay on the silver-white table, saying nonsense: "Believe me, I am no longer the same person I was when I first entered the base! I will come back to find you when I become someone I am, okay."
Copy No. 50 is a dangerous special copy, but it is currently in the maintenance and rest period, so it is very safe and peaceful. The Logistics Department has just finished an intense material transportation job and is temporarily stationed here to work.
The two children sent by the headquarters had finally adapted to the environment and were about to start work after completing their internship. The old employees of the logistics department took time out of their busy schedule to organize a farewell party for them.
The silver-haired young man had blurry red eyes and tried to pull off Chi Liu's black uniform. He stared at the other's beautiful and cold profile with fascination and continued to mutter: "Brother Chi, you don't know, I heard of you when I was in graduate school. Even though I was so good, my supervisor always used you to put pressure on me, saying, saying that you were his most proud student. I used to hate you, but now I--" His voice suddenly became softer, with the immaturity of a teenager: "I like you..."
How could anyone not like such a gentle and beautiful person?
"Wow~"
There was a burst of booing from the side.
Wen Xi was drunk for a rare time, he lay there and slapped the table: "Brother Chi, ignore that guy, he is a pervert... Also, I will work super hard~"
Someone also twisted Yao Bumei's ear and scolded him with a smile: "I've known for a long time that there's something wrong with you! You have such a heavy workload every day, but you still have the energy to send things to our Xiaochi every day! You can even get roses!"
Although there is no shortage of basic supplies at the base, there is basically no such purely recreational and useless supplies. I don’t know whose connections this kid used to get a big bunch of red roses, which made Chi Liu so unhappy for two whole days!
After that person finished speaking, more people surrounded Yao Bumei, gossiping and teasing him one after another, and even Wen Xi couldn't help but prick up his ears to listen.
The logistics department, which has always been under a lot of pressure, was rarely so lively. Chi Liu naturally blended into the atmosphere, but seemed like an outsider.
He sat outside the crowd, holding his chin with one hand and holding the wine glass with the other, shaking the red wine in it casually. He chuckled gently and said nothing.
"Chi, what do you say?" The colleague who had teased Yao Bumei sat down next to Chi Liu, looking excited: "Your junior is confessing to you, respond quickly!"
Chi Liu raised his eyebrows after drinking the wine and looked at him: "You believe the drunken words of a 19-year-old kid?"
The colleague smiled obscenely: "The hair has grown out and it's quite big!" As he said that, his expression became a little serious, and he said: "I think if you don't hate Xiao Yao, just accept her. In fact, it's not easy to meet someone you like in such a large base. We live a life of today and not tomorrow. What's wrong with you having a relationship to spice up your life!"
Chi Liu changed his wine glass and poured a stronger whiskey this time. Just as he was about to say something, Yao Bumei pushed through the crowd and came over. He half-knelt in front of Chi Liu and looked up at him. There was drunkenness in his red eyes, and the sincerity of a young man: "Brother, I'm not drunk. I really like you——"
A circle of onlookers gathered around again, joking in a good-natured manner.
In the center of the crowd, Chi Liu finally put down the wine in his hand. He lowered his eyes, looked at the other person calmly and helplessly, and said: "I am not interested in office romance, and I will not date a colleague." It will affect work.
Yao Bumei's pupils shrank.
Chi Liu stretched out his hand and pressed on the young man's shoulder: "When you first came here, the teacher contacted me and said that you were a good seedling and asked me to take care of you. After getting along with you, I agree with what the teacher said."
Chi Liu bent his eyes, looking at the young man gently but sternly: "We are always in need of excellent researchers here, and we really need newcomers like you. Work hard and don't let the teacher down."
After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the office, avoiding the other person.
Yao Bumei stood there frozen.
A colleague called from behind: "Hey Chi, the party is still on, where are you going?"
The young man, whose waist and legs looked even slimmer in his black uniform, waved his hand lazily, "Pack your things and take the Snow Owl Train to the Abyss dungeon at 10:00 pm."
Snowy Owl Head is the name of a monster responsible for transportation. It provides regular flights every day to pick up base personnel.
My colleague twitched his lips and said, "How could you have chosen that damn place if it weren't for you! The big shots over there are sleeping, but they have a bad temper. Even they don't want to provoke them, so how could they lend us the land?"
Due to the recent increase in the number of players, the number of open copies has also increased, and logistics staff need to constantly open up new routes for transporting supplies.
Chi Liu is in charge of the relevant work. Every time a new route is opened, he will go there in person to collect various data and plan the most efficient, scientific and safest route.
The geographical location of the Abyss Dungeon is very critical, and he has long wanted to go there and see it in person and make use of it.
…
The big shot in the Abyss dungeon was known throughout the base for being difficult to serve even when he was asleep, and had left a psychological shadow on more than three digits of base employees who went there to perform regular sanitation and cleaning work.
In order to prevent the willful big shot from sabotaging his work, Chi Liu made more than one plan in advance - he even asked the medical department for a box of placebo for their insomnia and anxiety, and made a comfort doll by himself!
The Abyss has no shape, only a vast expanse of darkness. If you take a wrong step, you will fall into the Lost Land. Even before it is opened, it has already swallowed up countless players.
Chi Liu walked through the safe employee passage. Under the dim blue wall lamp, a colleague in a yellow uniform led the way while complaining wildly: "Xiao Chi, nice to meet you! How could you be so unlucky to work here? I tell you, I really can't stand it anymore!"
"How come I, the Chief Dungeon Maintainer with a lot of experience, was assigned to this damn place?"
Chi Liu was still very naive at that time: "It's not that exaggerated, right? And the annual bonus is very high?" Even if the Abyss Dungeon is in deep sleep, it is undoubtedly the most important dungeon here. Anyone who has worked here will get a staggeringly generous year-end bonus without exception. Moreover, this place has not been opened yet, and few players dare to break in. It is very safe.
A colleague looked hopeless: "Ahhh, the salary is high and the resume will look great, but! This job is life-consuming!" If he is not transferred, he will either be fooled to death by that big shot or be pissed off to death!
He turned to look at Chi Liu, with a look of grief and anguish on his face: "Xiao Chi, listen to me, get the route data and copy data you want, and run away! Don't stop for even a second!"
Stopping for one more second is disrespecting your own lungs—because you will really be furious!
There was a hint of doubt in Chi Liu's amber pupils, but she still smiled politely: "Thanks for the reminder."
As they were talking, they soon reached the core, and a palace covered with green vines came into view. Each vine was covered with snow-white sharp teeth, which moved without wind, and the sharp teeth collided with each other, shining coldly and making creepy laughter.
The gloomy palace rose high up and sank straight into the void of darkness.
As Chi Liu took the first step into the core of the dungeon, palm-sized snowflakes began to appear out of thin air in the darkness above.
Chi Liu took one in his hand with great interest. A handsome young man's mouth quickly bulged out from the middle of the snowflake. Six snowflake petals waved at Chi Liu fiercely, and hoarse and distorted evil words came out of the mouth: "Hehehe, I'll eat you~"
More and more snowflakes gathered towards Chi Liu and jumped around his legs. "I'll eat you", "I'll eat you" - the vicious threats sounded one after another.
The colleague twitched his lips when watching this scene and said loudly: "Xiao Chi, you are quite lucky! This palace is now the subconscious of that master. Everything here is a part of that master. It is not surprising to encounter any terrible existence! You just happened to encounter the subconscious of that master in his youth!" The master in his youth was not too abnormal...
In other words, this was a prank that the adult had played in his youth, and now every part of this palace contained the subconscious of that adult in his youth.
At this time, just pretend to be scared and the snowflakes will get bored and leave on their own - this is one of the easiest pranks to crack!
Chi Liu: “.” Well, it turns out that the legendary big boss who can overturn the essence of time and space with just a flick of his finger and almost supports this world - is actually such a childish existence!
The colleague was about to say something when Chi Liu took out a pack of disinfectant tissues and handed them to him, saying calmly, "Help me wipe my hands."
The colleague looked confused, but still did as he was told amid the strange "I'll eat you" sounds that kept coming out.
Just after he finished, Chi Liu raised his eyebrows coolly and neatly put his index finger into the mouth!
He stared at the snowflakes in his hand, and used his slender fingers to fiddle with the soft, cold tongue in the mouth that exuded a strange fragrance. He smiled and said, "Then eat it."
After saying that, he added another finger and pressed hard on the other person's cold front teeth.
If you don't mind indigestion, just eat it! Childish ghost!
The snowflake in the palm of my hand was completely stunned: What a strange feeling...
Is this human teasing him?
But, it really can't eat him, it will really cause indigestion! Very uncomfortable!
A moment of extreme silence.
The colleague stared at Chi Liu with his mouth wide open, his jaw almost dropped!
All the vines on the palace walls froze in an instant. Even the snowflakes gathered around Chi Liu's legs stopped jumping. They opened their mouths in shock, unable to move.
Chi Liu finally took his finger out of the mouth. He stared at it, his smile growing wider: "Speak. If you don't, I'll eat you." As for threats, everyone can do that.
There was a soft "crash" sound.
All the snowflakes with mouths flew away! ——This abominable human is waiting, he will think of more powerful ways to torture him!
Even the vines on the wall temporarily avoided the attack and retracted their sharp teeth!
So, Chi Liu stepped into the palace in the eyes of his colleagues' great admiration!
…
After entering the palace, Chi Liu quickly found the temporary office set up by the base inside - his colleagues were probably tortured too much by the palace and didn't dare to come in, so they prepared accommodation in the area outside the core.
Therefore, Chi Liu is the only one living in this palace.
The office is on the first floor. It is very spacious and has a small bedroom. It is fully equipped with all kinds of supplies. Even the beds are the kind that are uniformly allocated by the base. Chi Liu has no problem with finding his own bed.
He is very satisfied here.
In the bright warm yellow light, Chi Liu quickly put away the simple etiquette. He turned his back to the stone door and neatly took off his black uniform, slowly revealing his snow-white skin, beautiful and tight body.
In the endless darkness outside the door, a tightly closed eyeball seemed to appear out of thin air, rolled to the crack of the door, and suddenly opened its eyelids towards the inside of the door!
Chi Liu had already stepped into the bathroom.
The warm water poured down, washing the young man's beautiful and fair body.
Chi Liu closed his eyes and faced the shower head comfortably, when suddenly, he felt an itch on his ankle.
Chi Liu was startled, and opened his eyes hazily in the flowing water. He lowered his eyes slightly and looked down: a dark eyeball came into view clearly.
It stared straight at Chi Liu's naked body without blinking - get familiar with the enemy first! Only then can you defeat him!
This annoying human being is actually pretty.
Chi Liu: "..."
It's really thrilling.
But he is already a member of the base. What does it matter?
Chi Liu twitched his lips, then leaned over to pick up the eyeball without changing his expression, and considerately rinsed off the white foam on it.
Then, he took a few steps, opened the door, threw his eyeball out mercilessly, and closed the door.
Chi Liu finally took a shower successfully, and then he stepped into the bathtub filled with warm water - he always believed that the harder he worked, the more relaxed he would be when he rested.
He wants to take a nice hot bath.
Chi Liu dozed comfortably against the wall of the bathtub, his beautiful slender body swaying gently in the water. His head was tilted upwards, his fair and pretty cheeks were flushed with a healthy red, his straight nose and soft lips were covered with water droplets.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes and looked up speechlessly.
A dark eye opened on the dark ceiling, with a vague scarlet at the edge of the pupil. It rolled around and stared angrily at the young man in the bathtub.

Here we go! Another note: Both the monster and the person are adults (including the subconscious!)
