Chapter 391: Rusty City Strange Stories
"I am no less than He is, I will take His place."
Those ten short words fell like a heavy hammer, almost knocking Xu Zhiyan unconscious.
He guessed that this slice might reveal a lot of information.
After all, he is able to freely travel between various copies, and he is cold-hearted and will not be morally blackmailed like Dr. Bai, so it is normal for him to get the update information.
But Xu Zhiyan never expected that one of the purposes of the slice in front of him was to replace the original body!
...But then I thought about it and it didn't seem so incomprehensible.
Although ghosts and gods are powerful, this power also makes them restricted. Apart from the small area of the safe house, any slice can move freely in a much larger space.
Imagine a slice that has great power and can do whatever it wants in the copy. If it is out of the restrictions, will it willingly return to the original body?
It is reasonable for Bai Jin, who has already tasted the taste of freedom, to have other thoughts.
As the perfect heir to the safe house, Xu Zhiyan had already considered various slicing scenarios, but he didn't expect to encounter this style when it was almost complete.
My heart is still calm.
But Xu Zhiyan still maintained a shocked expression on his face.
Unlike his previous relaxed demeanor when teasing, he was like an undercover agent whose identity had been revealed. His lazy demeanor was restrained and his entire back was tense.
Seeing that he was nervous, Slice calmed down instead.
"Are you surprised to know this?" The madness in his voice faded a lot. Xu Zhiyan's expected reaction made Bai Jin realize that the out-of-control situation was over and everything was back on track.
Still thinking about the red mark on the young man's chin, he eased his strength and gently stroked the red area.
Xu Zhiyan raised his head, not as obedient as the other party said, but he did not resist too fiercely. He pursed his lips and asked: "Since you know the main system, then we discuss this openly..."
The slightly uneasy question was interrupted, and the man's fingertips pressed on his lips again.
The experienced slicer is very confident about this.
"Since I can successfully ask this question, it means that it can no longer detect the situation around me."
Bai Jin's words were filled with disdain for the main system.
Xu Zhiyan was not surprised at all, but the other party's next sentence made him make a new assessment of the slice in front of him.
"I have blocked the surveillance throughout the entire factory. Otherwise, why do you think I can travel back and forth between so many copies?" Even the silver chain on his uniform reflected cold spots of light, as if mocking the uselessness of the main system.
"I am different from Him. I will not be restricted by anyone other than Him."
The cold tone made it impossible to tell what attitude the slice in front of him had towards being restricted only by ghosts and gods.
Out of control, arrogant...self-loathing?
Tsk, he even knows that ghosts and gods are restricted. This guy really knows a lot.
It seems that the work has been doubly difficult. It is almost impossible to find a chance to pierce the horn with ghost consciousness in a peaceful state.
However, after Xu Zhiyan put the label on, his expression eased a lot.
"I can tell you about the game and the main system." He began carefully.
The slice showed an expression of 'guessing so'.
He regained his indifference and rationality, as if afraid of losing control again. He raised his hand, and the dark shadow spreading in the corner pushed a chair over.
Bai Jin spoke hesitantly only after he had put enough distance between himself and Xu Zhiyan.
“You don’t need to have any psychological burden.”
"No matter who devours whom, in the end our relationship...will not change."
They had only been separated for a few seconds, and the feeling of being out of control was overwhelming, but the satisfaction that came from the soul when their skin touched each other made Bai Jin make a promise in disguise.
Xu Zhiyan, who was left alone on the sofa, tried to move.
"...Captain, can you give me a hand? I'm about to have a cerebral hemorrhage and can't speak."
The dissatisfied humming sound sounded like a act of coquettishness to Bai Jin's ears.
He thought his promise had worked, and he chuckled softly. The next second, a dark shadow emerged from the gap in the sofa and helped Xu Zhiyan up.
The atmosphere relaxed, both sides concealed their aggression, and the scene was unexpectedly harmonious.
"Regarding the progress of the game, it has probably reached the final stage now. I wonder if you have heard of the Mimic..."
When talking about the game information and news about the mimics, Xu Zhiyan did not hide anything. Anyway, his relationship with the main system was not good, so he simply spilled the beans and told all the information that Slice could get.
"From the information I have received so far, it seems that someone among the mimics has taken control of a part of the main system..."
Perhaps he really treated Slice as his own, so he even shared his analysis.
Only after he finished speaking in one breath did Xu Zhiyan twist his body in dissatisfaction and ask the other party to untie the rope.
"My answer was sincere, so should you help me untie the rope?"
Bai Jin, who was originally listening attentively, was stunned and raised his eyebrows in confusion.
"Hmm? Can't you untie it yourself?"
"Of course, but I'm not sure what you have done with the factory rules. Whether the props can still be used, so to avoid waste, you should do it." Xu Zhiyan answered fluently.
After staring at the young man for a while, Bai Jin whispered, "How perceptive."
He was indeed able to impose restrictions on the factory area.
"When in the same space with me, players cannot use items and skills." Bai Jin said this lightly, which has the ability to turn 90% of the players into useless cookies.
Xu Zhiyan thought that he might be restricted, but he didn't expect the restrictions to be so severe.
Fortunately, his shocked expression and previous docile behavior pleased Slice. Bai Jin tapped the armrest of the chair with his fingertips twice, and then an almost inaudible cracking sound was heard in the air.
"Okay, now you can use the props."
After saying this, Bai Jin realized belatedly that he seemed to be too obedient to Xu Zhiyan.
However, Xu Zhiyan, who had obtained permission, acted very quickly. He almost immediately summoned Xiao Cubic Bone and asked the other party to cut the rope on his body, and then took Xiao Cubic Bone back before Bai Jin could say anything.
"I... I'm very weak, and my skills are all defensive." Xu Zhiyan explained in a low voice.
The hemp rope fell to the ground, revealing all the red marks that were covered up.
It is not known whether there are any red marks on the clothes, but the exposed parts have not escaped at all, especially the arms and collarbones. The red marks on the fair skin are shocking visually, but the young man looks more fragile and vulnerable, which makes people want to add a few more marks.
After moving his wrist, Xu Zhiyan looked at the ring on his hand inconspicuously.
The gold color was reduced by about half.
It seems that his delaying time just now was somewhat useful.
I don’t know why, but after the rope was untied, Xu Zhiyan felt that Bai Jin’s eyes looked much more fierce when he looked at him.
His knife-like eyes swept over his forearm, his wrist, and especially his collarbone that was strangled by the rope. If the other party had not been sitting obediently on the chair, he would have thought that Slice would suddenly jump up and eat him.
"One last question, about Him."
There were only two voices in the room, and one could even hear Bai Jin's heavy breathing between their words.
"Come to me and talk."
He finally gave up his patience.
Faced with the other party's persistent questioning, Xu Zhiyan walked straight forward without caring about the loose pajamas on his body.
As soon as he got close, he was pulled into her arms.
He was enveloped by a cold and indifferent aura that was the opposite of his crazy personality. Xu Zhiyan staggered two steps and barely managed to sit firmly on Bai Jin's legs.
The metal buttons and chains on the man's uniform scraped against his arms, and he flinched subconsciously.
Xu Zhiyan was not surprised by this.
It's just that his waist is naturally sensitive, and even through the gloves and bathrobe, he can still feel Slice's hand holding his waist with considerable force.
With a muffled groan, he pushed the slicing hand away.
"What do you think our relationship should be? Or, if I tell you about Him, what will our relationship be like next?"
Bai Jin didn't say anything.
Even though his body's reaction couldn't be concealed and his palms were almost touching the young man's body, his eyes remained calm.
Xu Zhiyan was not annoyed. He raised his right hand and slowly stroked the sliced chest through the uniform.
His movements were ambiguous and frivolous, and his lowered eyes concealed his emotions.
Just when Bai Jin thought Xu Zhiyan was going to talk about some lingering and entangled past, he suddenly heard an adjective that was beyond the vocabulary in his mind.
"Although He burns money, He lives a good life."
Xu Zhiyan hesitated for a few minutes and gave this evaluation: Yes, it costs money but the life is good!
After he finished speaking, his tone rose a lot. While Bai Jin hadn't responded yet, Xu Zhiyan reached into his collar with his left hand and took out the horn pendant that had been hovering on the edge of hot and cold.
"Actually, I'm glad you lifted the restrictions on items and skills."
He squinted his eyes and smiled, and the next second the whole room changed.
The Virgin Mary with tears of blood appeared in the room at some point, and while bending down, she pressed her hands tightly on Bai Jin's shoulders. Then the strange laughter of the holy child echoed, and countless white children were pulling the red strings on their bodies around them.
When the red line gradually took shape, you could see that they had actually used the red line to entangle the white ashes and the chair together.
It turned out that when Xiaocui Gu appeared just now, he dropped a prop that could hide the monster's figure.
Xu Zhiyan raised the horn in his hand and kept teasing.
"I hope you have some spare clothes. I'd be disappointed if I didn't get to enjoy Party A in uniform."
However, in the blink of an eye, Bai Jin's figure became blurred.
"Bang--"
The calculator in Xu Zhiyan’s hand dug into the back of the seat.
After a moment, Bai Jin's low voice came from behind.
"Perhaps my use of human appearance has given you some illusions. Also, I shouldn't have been so indulgent with you."
Black shadows kept shuttling back and forth in the gaps, and finally gathered in the room again, forming the shape of a human figure.
Xu Zhiyan turned around and saw that Bai Jin had returned to his original appearance.
He heard the other party's dangerous angry words, and his Adam's apple couldn't help but roll up and down, and he swallowed his saliva.
"Very good, I was wondering what I should do if my relationship with you remains warm." Bai Jin had a smile on his face, but there was no smile in his voice, which was surprisingly cold.
"Next I will restrict your freedom, deprive you of your senses, and immerse you in darkness."
"You can enjoy the fact that you can still stand for a while."
The extreme desire for control was intertwined with the desire to abuse when seeing the red marks on the young man's body. Although she was very angry about Xu Zhiyan's behavior of turning against her, it seemed to be a good choice to have a reasonable outlet for her desire.
