Chapter 346 Safe House
Xu Zhiyan finally escaped a beating with the help of Jin Sheng and Yu Xiu, and successfully sat at the dinner table, eating shamelessly.
While serving rice to Xiao Yi, Yu Xiu carefully observed Jiang Huaique's expression. He heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the other party didn't get angry again, but just got a cold beer from the refrigerator for Xu Zhiyan with a helpless look on his face.
After patting the dog's head, he put the dog's bowl away and sat obediently next to Jinsheng to enjoy lunch together.
Jiang Huai Que is a good cook and his cooking is delicious and fragrant.
Unlike the last time when Xu Zhiyan suddenly ordered takeout because he was trapped in love, although he cursed after getting the news in advance, he still went out actively to buy food and cooked a large table of delicious dishes.
Seeing the three people and one dog at the table starting to eat hard, Jiang Huaique took a can of sparkling water from the side, opened it, leaned back in his chair and drank it. His expression relaxed a little, but his brows were still furrowed.
"Brother Jiang, why don't you drink?" Jin Sheng asked puzzledly.
Before he could answer, Xu Zhiyan suddenly looked up and drank several sips with a serious expression, "Is there poison in the wine? Is that why Jiang Jiang doesn't drink it?"
Jiang Huai's expression froze, and he couldn't bear it anymore and gave his unlucky teammate a slap on the face: "Ah, yes, yes, I'm going to poison you to death."
He was worried that Xu Zhiyan would get drunk again, and he would have to drive him there... Otherwise, it would be a bit troublesome if the anonymous person seemed so possessive and came to his house to pick him up again.
It was already afternoon when we finished the meal.
Yu Xiu stared at the round clock in the living room with reluctance on his face, but he still stood up obediently and walked to his room, ready to study.
Xu Zhiyan burst out laughing. Jiang Huaijue stood aside with his arms folded and said calmly, "I called my tutor. Today is a day off. The movie tickets the company gave me will expire if you don't watch the movie. But there are only two tickets. Let Jinsheng take you there."
Yu Xiu, who had been reluctant to leave and kept looking back, suddenly widened his eyes with surprise and joy: "Really? Really?"
After saying this, he seemed to be afraid that the breeder would regret it, and hurried back to the room to change clothes.
Jiang Huaique nodded with a little more relief in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
Sure enough, young people always recover much faster. Less than a year has passed since he first met Yu Xiu, and the other party has changed from his autistic and taciturn appearance. Now he looks almost the same as other clear-headed and stupid high school students.
He wanted to express his admiration for Yu Xiu's transformation to Xu Zhiyan, but when he turned around, he found that the other party was looking at him in shock, with his finger pointing at his nose.
"No share for me? How can you be so partial?"
"...Xu Baopi, do you want to listen to what you are saying?" Jiang Huaique was furious. He slapped his unlucky teammate on the back of his head and pointed at the kitchen: "The sink is still full of dirty dishes. You are not allowed to leave until you finish washing them."
When Jin Sheng heard that he still had to wash the dishes, he changed his humble words on the spot.
"Don't worry, Brother Xu! We will bring you some delicious food after the movie!" When he was cleaning up the dishes, he saw a spectacular pool.
Seeing Yu Xiu coming out after changing his clothes, Jin Sheng grabbed him in one hand and the dog in the other, and disappeared like the wind.
"Bang--"
The door was closed, but the room was not quiet yet.
"Hey! Bring me some barbecue when you come back! Jinsheng, did you hear me?" Xu Zhiyan was still shouting at the top of his voice.
Jiang Huaique rolled his eyes and said nothing more. He put on an apron and went into the kitchen to wash the dishes.
A moment later, Xu Zhiyan sent a message to Jinsheng and ordered a bunch of snacks, drinks and barbecued food. He carried a small stool and walked to the kitchen door. He held an apple in his hand, crossed his legs and watched his teammates washing dishes.
"Why do we need to send Jin Sheng away as well?"
"Come on, now that you know something, you still have to explain it to me in person?"
They both spoke at the same time.
"I'll go first."
"I'll go first."
As a result, because he was too impolite, he even collided with the second sentence.
Jiang Huaique frowned and turned around and said fiercely: "Shut up, I'll tell you!"
In the original copy, the clown blocked Cen Jinyue's attack for him, threw him a palm-sized black bag, and told him about his funeral. But because of the appearance of Xu Zhiyan, the clown finally saved his life, and Jiang Huaique returned the bag to the other party later.
Since the other party is not dead, he will not covet any power.
"After the dungeon was completed, I thought the matter was over." Jiang Huaique's voice was calm, without the previous irritability and impatience.
"Until I received an anonymous text message yesterday."
[If I die, my power will be given to you, and you will be the one to avenge me.]
The words were familiar, and he knew at a glance that it was a message from the Joker, who was still explaining his affairs to him.
"Tsk, isn't there someone else in his guild?"
Jiang Huaique was talking about Mad Dog and Dou Hongshan.
He doesn't care about the complicated relationships between other people. In his eyes, his companions are the only ones he can trust. It is obviously unreasonable to give hatred and power to an outsider who he has only met a few times.
After hearing this, Xu Zhiyan scratched his hair, not knowing how to explain that he had obtained the clown's memory.
The dark alleys are intricately organized, and everyone inside has his or her own purpose.
The Summoner and Dou Hongshan are the survivors who retain the memories of the previous round of the game. They are able to stay because of the special skills. One can regenerate through a plant body, and the other can delay death with the life of a summoned beast.
The Joker is different.
He joined the Dark Alley out of hatred, and with the help of Dou Hongshan, he became the strongest force in the Dark Alley.
In addition to the Joker, Dark Alley also recruited a group of people who had hatred towards the Utopia.
After getting the list and some information, Xu Zhiyan understood why Dou Hongshan didn't dare to trust him easily.
Although the Utopia wants to kill him, from the current perspective, the Utopia has not gained any advantage in fighting with him. Instead, it has lost a lot of manpower and money... and he is a businessman, Dou Hongshan always feels that he can be bribed and shaken.
The people she secretly wooed were all those who had a blood feud with the Mimic.
Even if a relative died at the hands of a mimetic, she would first consider whether that person would turn against her, and her requirements are extremely high.
Fortunately, Jiang Huaique just informed him and did not want to get any answers from his teammates.
"I'm just a little curious why he was so anxious and thought he was going to die."
"Because the special copy is about to start."
Xu Zhiyan sighed and replied.
He was still thinking about how to explain the mimic's information to his teammates.
If Jiang Huaiqiao had not sent Jin Sheng and Yu Xiu away just now, he would have asked them to leave first. After all, with their personalities, they would only become more nervous after knowing the situation.
"Oh, there's something else I want to tell you."
Jiang Huai Que didn't look back and spoke casually.
"Some of the new people in the guild have left."
Ever since Xu Zhiyan took over 80 million points from the Utopia, it was equivalent to sending out a signal of opposition. Although ordinary players are still willing to trade and seek help in the dungeon, they will inevitably fall into panic.
Who wants to go up against the strongest guild for no reason?
There is nothing wrong with choosing to withdraw from the association, and Jiang Huaiqie understands this very well.
Considering that his teammates would definitely guess it based on their intelligence, he did not hide it: "Besides the four of us, there is only the deer left."
The number was reduced again to less than a hand.
The guild, which had finally grown stronger, suddenly returned to its pre-liberation state.
The sound of running water was heard in the kitchen. After a while, Xu Zhiyan's voice slowly appeared.
"The guys in the ideal country are not human. They are creatures called mimics. The game we are experiencing now is not the first round..."
He didn't care about the reduced number of guild members and talked about the Mimics in a serious manner.
"Bang—crash."
Jiang Huai's hand slipped and smashed a bowl.
But Xu Zhiyan did not stop and continued talking.
"The Joker and Endless Card are just the people that Dark Alley has pushed out. The Summoner has also gathered other people, but they are not strong enough yet. They need time..."
There was a break in the dark alley because Mad Dog and the Joker were secretly at odds, so she had to temporarily step into the light.
This information obviously exceeded Jiang Huai's expectations.
Without waiting for him to turn his head, Xu Zhiyan pursed his lips and said seriously: "This is the information I have obtained so far. If I were Yan Chengfan, I would prioritize killing the clown in the next round."
Because he got more information, he knew what the Joker was worried about.
The sound of water stopped. Jiang Huaique slowly picked up the broken bowls and then turned on the faucet to continue washing the rest. He spoke only after he calmed down.
“The living are the most important.”
If Xu Zhiyan had not been there, he might have been like the Joker, standing against the Utopia after his relatives were killed, and being lured into the gang by Dou Hongshan.
"…But this is fine."
He muttered to himself.
The hatred will not disappear, it will only be engraved on his bones like a scar.
Originally Jiang Huaique was still hesitating whether to wait until Yu Xiu finished the college entrance examination and then find a chance to leave the guild and teammates to take revenge. Now he doesn't have to think about it anymore.
Those who are not of my race must have different hearts.
There is a natural barrier between mimics and humans, so it is reasonable for them to stand against all humans.
Sooner or later they will face off.
Not only him, but others will also face it.
As for the source of the information, Xu Zhiyan didn't say it and Jiang Huaique didn't ask. He had absolute trust in his teammates.
Finally, the dishes were washed.
When the two were discussing information about the Mimic, they did not mention how to tell Jin Sheng.
When the sun set, Jin Sheng brought Yu Xiu back with a lot of bags. They were obviously going to see a movie, but because Xu Zhiyan ordered too much, the two of them were almost buried in food.
"Brother Xu! Brother Jiang! We are back!"
"Come on, come on, buy what Brother Xu likes to eat. Let's continue in the evening."
"…Didn't I tell you not to buy junk food?"
“Well done…”
Xu Zhiyan and Jiang Huaique returned to normal, and no one said a word to them.
It was just a short while after entering the room that Yu Xiu took the time to glance at his phone, saw the information about the game on it, and said hesitantly: "The next round of special dungeons has been released, but Utopia did not specify us."
Several other people received the same message.
Jin Sheng frowned and counted the guilds above, with a puzzled expression: "Endless Cards...Except for this guild, the rest seem to be small guilds. Where is the dark alley?"
Jiang Huaiqie was fine, his expression remained calm after watching it.
Only Xu Zhiyan's pupils tightened slightly after seeing the guild list, and his fingertips gripping the phone became tighter.
All the guilds chosen by the Utopia this time are the guilds that were recruited and cultivated by the Dark Alley in the Joker's memory...
“Buzz——”
The phone vibrated again, Xu Zhiyan reached out and clicked it, it was the news from the safe house.
[Quick reply]
[The safe house will log in to the special copy tonight]
