Chapter 437 Safe House
No, don't agree...
Don't make deals with the main system, they won't keep their promises.
"No!"
Clear and rapid words came out of his mouth.
Xu Zhiyan was still immersed in his previous memories. When he came to his senses, he found himself standing in an open space.
There is a thick pile of ginkgo leaves under your feet, with golden leaves stacked up layer upon layer. If you look closely, you can see that every leaf is the same size, without any difference - these are not real leaves, but leaves condensed by force.
He was stunned for a moment, looking down at his hands, and through his fingers he could see the red plush strawberries hanging on his woolen slippers.
His heart was still beating wildly, and Xu Zhiyan had not yet gotten rid of the memories full of complicated entanglements.
Above his head was a spotless blue sky with layers of clouds. Beside him was a tall and sturdy ginkgo tree. As the breeze blew, brilliant golden leaves fell with the wind. This place was more like a grand dream than his previous memories.
Farthest away from the falling leaves, a black carved fence gate stood there abruptly.
After moving his stiff body, Xu Zhiyan hesitated for a moment, looked up at the sky that was so beautiful that it seemed unreal, and walked towards the door.
“Crack—”
Slight cracking sounds were heard, not only from the leaves being crushed, but also from more memory seals being broken.
With every step, Xu Zhiyan would remember more.
After going around in circles, everything returned to the starting point. Before high school, he was arranged by the main system to another intersection. He was in a coma most of the time until one day when he was fifteen years old, he was released.
A frail body, a deformed and cold family, a painful and sad false past...
The memory stopped at the beginning of the first year of high school. He stood at the school gate with a suitcase in his hand and stepped into the human society with the only things he had. From then on, he finally got the truth.
With his palm on the handle of the carved iron door, he could see the wall of the safe house outside through the railings.
Before leaving the restricted area, Xu Zhiyan turned his head to look for the ghost for the last time.
There are no clues, the other party should still be in memory.
Xu Zhiyan's appearance did not cause any commotion in the safe house.
As soon as Xiao Cui Gu finished sending a message to Jiang Huai Que and others, he saw the figure of his master. He hurried forward, connected to the game panel, and started communicating quickly.
[Brother Xu, a few minutes ago I sent a message to Jiang Huaique as you requested, but the other party's reply voice bar was blocked, and I don't know what he said... Well, I feel like it might not be a good thing. ]
It doesn't understand how foul a human has to curse to be blocked by the operator.
"A few minutes?" Xu Zhiyan noticed this time point and recalled the explanation given by the system previously.
They are in the time rift, and their time is out of sync with the real time.
It seemed that nothing unexpected happened in the middle. Two years passed in his memory, but only a few minutes passed in the normal timeline.
Time in the restricted area was frozen, while it was still evening in the safe house.
After sending away the little brittle bone, Xu Zhiyan felt a little dizzy. After sending a message to Jiang Huaique to arrange a meeting, he looked around at the safe house where everything was in order, and a sense of security arose spontaneously.
"Where's the system? Can we contact it?"
He asked casually.
The system went to the restricted area with him, but now that he has come out, why is there no sign of the other party?
Xu Zhiyan thought about finding the system first, and then using some tricks to force the other party to delete all those messy screenshots and videos.
The silver panel lit up and Asa jumped out to give the answer.
[Mr. Xu, good evening. I briefly connected to the stupid system a few minutes ago, but the signal was gone.]
【[Beautiful and cute little crying baby photo collection.jpg]】
[It sent me a very large file package, which seemed to contain something important, but I didn't open it. Do you need to destroy these things?] It refused to admit that it had actually read it.
“…”
After glancing at the name, Xu Zhiyan fell silent.
There's no need to emphasize that it's not open! This makes you look even more guilty, Asa!
"Deleted! Let the system come to find me when it appears." After saying that, Xu Zhiyan fled from the hall, took two steps at a time, returned to the bedroom, covered himself with the quilt, and prepared to go to sleep.
Receiving a large amount of memories has side effects. When he successfully returned to the present time, he felt a little dizzy, and it is getting worse now.
I don’t know how long I slept.
When Xu Zhiyan woke up, the moon was still hanging high outside the window.
After being stunned for a moment, he touched his cell phone and looked at the calls flooded with Jiang Huaique's calls. Then he realized that he had slept for more than a whole day.
He did not listen to the blocked voice message of Jiang Huaique. Who knows how much normal content was left in it? Just after typing three words, he suddenly sensed something. Xu Zhiyan threw away his phone, turned over and got out of bed, and walked towards the restricted area.
On the other side, Jiang Huaique, who was sleeping, heard a special reminder message notification.
He muttered, turned over, and grabbed the phone in an angry tone.
"Xu Baopi, you'd better give a reasonable explanation for why you stood me up..." He then stopped talking.
Jiang Huaique looked at the three words that popped up on the screen, and his sleepiness suddenly disappeared. His blood pressure instantly rose to the highest level, and his mind became extremely clear. Ten thousand swear words went through his mind eighty times in different arrangements and combinations.
【Xu Zhiyan: Good Son】
This wording was definitely used by Xu Zhiyan himself.
After staring at the screen of his mobile phone for a long time, Jiang Huaiqie became furious and began to feel angry. After a while, he laughed in anger and snorted coldly.
Ten minutes later, it was exactly 3:30 in the morning.
The fully dressed man had arrived at the garage.
Jiang Huaique plans to change the online confrontation into a real-life PK, and beat Xu Zhiyan's head before dawn!
…
Xu Zhiyan hadn't realized that the message he hadn't finished editing had been sent out.
When he stepped into the restricted area, the sky suddenly brightened, causing him to squint subconsciously. After adapting, he saw the ghost standing under the tree.
The system sound also appeared.
[Host! I miss you so much! I haven’t seen you for hundreds of years! !]
Xu Zhiyan's steps were stopped by the system voice.
Hundreds of years? No...
Even if Bai Jin had more memories than him, it was only ten years at most.
Unfortunately, before the system could say anything more, the ghosts and gods in the distance discovered the person who appeared in the restricted area. Feeling the system disappear, Xu Zhiyan knew that it might have been thrown out of the restricted area.
The faint smell of ash filled the entire space, and those surging memories seemed to come back to my mind again.
Xu Zhiyan looked up at the pair of golden pupils and walked towards them step by step.
However, the existence under the tree could not wait any longer. He caught a glimpse of the scenery changing for a moment, and the next second, Xu Zhiyan found himself appearing in front of the ghost and being held tightly in his arms.
The sound of the man's heart beating wildly could be heard from his warm chest.
The whole person was embraced, and Xu Zhiyan felt his shoulders sink. The ghost's head rested on the crook of his neck, and its hot breath hit his skin, which felt a little itchy.
His party A was not in the right state. According to the procedure, he should have appeased the other party first before starting to question or getting angry.
But whenever he thought about the fact that his plan had failed and that he had gone back to the past and changed nothing, he would become furious and filled with regret and powerlessness.
"Why? Why did you agree to the deal with the main system?"
Xu Zhiyan couldn't help but ask.
There was an unresolved anxiety and confusion in his tone.
“Although it may be a bit risky, you will have recovered your strength by then. Even if you can’t save me, as long as you tear the junction apart, you can communicate with the world consciousness, or send me out…”
He subconsciously thought about what would happen if the ghosts and gods did not make a deal with the main system.
Even though the situation was urgent at the time and refusing the transaction would most likely be dangerous, high returns are always accompanied by high risks. If he had a choice, he was willing to gamble with his life.
“There are risks, but if it succeeds, the third round of games will be eliminated at the source.”
Xu Zhiyan doesn't think he is a saint.
But he sees it as a win-win.
If it was just a risk, he was willing to try. As long as he won, he could use ghosts and gods as bargaining chips to negotiate with the world consciousness, and get more benefits from the world consciousness after taking over the entire game space.
No one answered.
After Xu Zhiyan finished speaking, the restricted area became quiet and silent, with only the occasional sound of falling leaves.
After a long time, so long that he thought the ghosts and gods would not answer, the other party finally spoke.
"Because you will die."
When mentioning this word, the ghost's voice was a little muffled, with a barely audible tremor.
“At that time, the border was already out of the realm of the real world.”
"It's always on guard against me, and I don't trust it."
The world consciousness was on guard against powerful uncontrollable forces, so when it sensed the power fluctuation, it cut off the channel immediately. The main system, which was experiencing betrayal, realized all this, and when it arrived, it cleverly dragged the intersection where Xu's house was located into the copy range.
These precautions are not difficult to understand. The world consciousness has sensed the recovery of ghosts and gods. According to previous experience, a guy with such power will definitely not give up after being split apart.
It does not know the experiences of ghosts and gods.
I don't know that the other party fell because of a human being.
For it, the impact of the anger of ghosts and gods on the real world is much greater than that of the infinite game, so blocking the appearance of ghosts and gods has a higher priority and the hostility is more serious.
With the help of the main system, even if the ghosts and gods can tear the boundary apart, they will not be able to come into contact with the real world at the first time, and will only fall into the endless void with the fragile humans in their arms.
Even if He takes a step back, He has been stabbed in the back by the main system many times, and He has no feelings for the Creator.
He could not take any risks.
He had no choice.
"I am a person abandoned by the world, and you are all I have."
Only Xu Zhiyan did not abandon Him.
His humans, whether at this point in time or in the distant past, never abandoned Him, even though they had countless opportunities to escape.
This is His weak spot and Achilles' heel.
No matter how many times, no matter what he compares to, he will make the same choice, he will only choose Xu Zhiyan.
Although the transaction with the main system made him wander in the long river of time. The other party tried to deceive him again and again with false memories related to Xu Zhiyan, until he began to hand over his power in exchange for Xu Zhiyan's freedom, and his consciousness was gradually erased in time, and even his love was gradually dispersed to places other than his heart.
In the end, only the heart was left.
It stayed where it was, transformed into a cage, and was once again sealed in a corner by the world consciousness and the main system.
Without destruction or rage, before the last trace of memory disappeared, it quietly gave Xu Zhiyan a new clue at the cost of never being able to step into the world again.
After doing all this, it became the original ghost, waiting for its lover to find it in the future.
There may be twists and turns in the middle, but that doesn’t matter.
As spring turned into winter, Xu Zhiyan traveled across a long period of time on foot and appeared in Bai Jin's life again.
"Even without us, nothing will stop." He explained softly, as if worried that His beloved would fall into self-blame.
“It won the first round and it’s not going to stop.”
Although it created uncontrollable monsters, the world consciousness, after winning the first round of the game, enthusiastically welcomed the second round and agreed to let humans participate, which meant that it had also fallen into the vortex of greed.
“Humans always think they are the most greedy creatures.”
But in fact, greed has nothing to do with size. From the higher life forms that invade everywhere in the void to the tiny creatures that try hard to devour food in the pool, those who can stop in time like some humans have become rare existences.
Even without this main system, there will be the next round of invaders.
Xu Zhiyan listened to the rest of the content.
He sighed deeply, no longer angry about the ghost's final choice, and raised his hands to hug the other person back.
This should have been a warm scene.
Just a few seconds later, he spoke lightly, his voice sounding a little sarcastic.
"Okay, now that we've gotten over the final choice, let's talk about what you did before entering the dungeon!" No one can escape! He's going to settle the score today!
Hearing the anger in Xu Zhi's tone, the ghosts and gods froze for a rare moment.
...Well, how should He explain now to calm His sweetheart?
