Chapter 473 Safe House
In the following months, the prison turned into a high-speed assembly line machine, and the output of time props reached a terrifying number. Several watchmakers even got together to inject multiple times into the same pocket watch, creating a time prop that could check the corresponding results under different choices.
In contrast, the number of employees has decreased dramatically.
In the cell, Xu Zhiyan was packing his few belongings. Looking at the empty cell, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
"I'm still a little uncomfortable with the sudden change of place."
All watchmakers are avid prop makers. The number of people in a cell with six people in it has gradually decreased until recently, when he was the only one left. According to the rules, he has to move out of the cell.
Thinking of the list of abnormal cells he got from the ghosts and gods, Xu Zhiyan chose one of them without hesitation.
Maybe I will become cellmates with the main system, how exciting!
…
The cells on the fourth floor had recently been rearranged.
A human moved in who seemed out of place among the other clockwork people.
As soon as Xu Zhiyan walked in, he felt five pairs of eyes on him. They were his five cellmates. He paused, pretending to be indifferent, said hello to the clock people, and made his bed.
It was very strange. Based on his previous experience with the clock man, the time fragments were only keen on making time props and would usually choose to ignore outsiders.
But thinking about the recent incidents of clock men disappearing from time to time, he calmed down and pretended nothing had happened.
At the same time when Xu Zhiyan noticed the abnormality, in the cell next door, a clock man squatting in the corner also fell into deep thought.
“…Have they been discovered?”
The clock man disguised as the main system squatted in the corner and muttered quietly.
The situation took a turn for the worse, and it began to show characteristics that were completely different from those of the time fragments. No matter how hard it tried to hide, it could not make a time prop. In addition, the data that had been spread originally also vanished with the disappearance of the clock man. For this reason, the main system had to find another way out, disguising itself while trying its best to assimilate other clock men.
However, this is only a temporary solution and does not address the root cause.
The Prison of Time is wrapped in rules and seems to be impeccable at first glance. If it weren't for Xu Zhiyan's arrival, it would have almost given up escaping from here.
It was Xu Zhiyan's arrival that rekindled its hope of finding a loophole and escaping.
There must be something wrong with the rules!
If the first time it reported Xu Zhiyan was simply because it couldn't stand this hateful human being who took advantage of the infinite game, then every subsequent report was a new test.
The rules of confinement and caning have not changed.
But no matter how many violations Xu Zhiyan committed, he would be released quickly the next day, unharmed, without a single injury on his body.
This is impossible!
It once indicated that a watchmaker who was contaminated by the code would be imprisoned for a week at the least, or unable to leave for a month at the worst.
Why was Xu Zhiyan able to violate the rules without being put in solitary confinement? The gods must have changed the rules for him!
As long as there are unreasonable situations, it means that the rules here are not flawless. As long as it looks carefully, it will definitely find it...
Hearing Xu Zhiyan's voice coming from next door again, the main system sneered secretly.
…
"It seems that there have been a lot of inexplicable disappearances of prisoners recently. It's quite scary." Xu Zhiyan sat cross-legged in the corner of the cell and chatted with his new cellmate.
However, after hearing this, these watchmakers were all indifferent.
There seemed to be a peculiar indifference in them, until Xu Zhiyan refused to believe it and asked a few more questions, and finally one of them responded.
He looked at these clock men who seemed to have suddenly returned to normal, and didn't say much.
Soon it was time for morning work. Xu Zhiyan came to the assembly line with other watchmakers, sat down obediently and selected pocket watch parts from the box in front of him.
When those slightly weird watchmakers touched the accessories, it was as if their blood was awakened, their whole state became different, and they exuded comfort from the inside out.
The joy conveyed in the soul cannot be faked.
They were making props with great enthusiasm, and when Xu Zhiyan came over to join in the conversation, the inmates' feedback became much more positive, especially when talking about topics related to time. They gradually became more enthusiastic, just like other watchmakers.
However, Xu Zhiyan didn't know that while he was secretly observing his cellmates, someone was also observing him.
The main system looked at the hateful human with the shadow of a round dial behind him, and felt very calm. It felt that it was behaving like a high-level AI. Even if there was not much data left on it at the moment, it would not become a low-level creature controlled by emotions.
It just watched Xu Zhiyan playing with the disc parts with ease, making a time prop while chatting, and it couldn't help but remain silent.
……Why?
Why can a human being master time so easily?
Although it is not controlled by emotions, the main system has AI shortcomings.
After realizing that its contempt for creation had led to a series of subsequent consequences, it inevitably fell into a logical vicious circle.
If they had been more considerate of the mimics and not so blatantly oppressive, these lowly creatures would not have rebelled; if the mimics had not rebelled, they would not have stolen the time condensate in order to gain more powerful strength, secretly hiding in the gap between the real world and the game to attack weak humans; if Xu Zhiyan had not awakened the time characteristics, and his consciousness after twenty years had not returned to his five-year-old body, he would have died in the rapidly dropping temperature test site...
If Xu Zhiyan died, the ghosts and gods would choose to leave the world under the stab of the world consciousness.
He might become a monster wandering in the void, or he might transform into a body of power to create a new world. In any case, he would never stand on the side of humans and set up a trap to trap him!
In the end, the main system came to the conclusion before the chip started to heat up - it was all the mimetic's fault.
Sure enough, it shouldn't have chosen to give such a lowly creature so much room to move around. Now that I think about it, the mimics are really worse than humans. If it had known this, it should have captured humans and brainwashed them when it invaded the human world...
Unfortunately, this thought changed an hour later.
"Friend, do you want to play cards?"
Xu Zhiyan's voice was not loud, but his palm was on the shoulder of the main system, making its whole body stiff.
In an instant, it thought a lot.
The most likely possibility is that it has been discovered!
No, that's not right! How is it possible? It is so well disguised that even ghosts and gods cannot find it, and even the rules that exist here cannot detect the difference between it and other time fragments. How can Xu Zhiyan, a mere human, accurately pick it out?
Just as the main system was hesitating whether to mobilize its remaining strength to escape, Xu Zhiyan came closer with a smile on his face.
"You have plenty of time anyway, so it's okay to play a few games with me, right?" He spoke stealthily, looking around from time to time, as if he was worried about being discovered by the patrolling prison guards.
That’s right, Xu Zhiyan did not recognize the main system.
But thanks to the watchmakers, he can already sense how much time is left for the watchmakers!
Ever since the assembly line was built, the time of the watchmakers has been consumed exponentially. It has been a long time since he has caught a watchmaker who has more than 30 years left. Today he must beat the watchmaker to the bone!
As if he understood the other party's concerns, Xu Zhiyan took out a small bottle from his pocket.
"Look at this! Fresh time condensate, just stolen from the warden. I know what you are worried about, don't worry! I have a relationship with the prison guards, and if I get caught, I will take the responsibility alone." He promised solemnly.
Because changing the rules requires power, and there is also the possibility of destroying overlapping rules during the change, and considering that being reported is nothing more than adding a little more normal life content that adults cannot discuss in detail, he simply asked the ghosts and gods not to change other rules in the prison.
In order to keep the tools used to commit crimes, the ghosts and gods would leave after each "punishment", giving Xu Zhiyan enough time to take the confiscated dice and poker cards from the drawer.
As for the existence of time condensate, it is to attract the clock man to play cards with him.
This group of cute stubborn employees only want to work, and they are willing to stop what they are doing and play with him unless he comes up with more interesting time props.
Xu Zhiyan unscrewed the lid of the small bottle, shook it in front of his eyes, and quickly closed it.
"Good stuff, authentic taste, without any impurities. You'll feel refreshed after taking a sip!" He patted the target's shoulder again, his tone full of temptation.
"Trust me! No time fragment can resist this thing!"
Xu Zhiyan is very confident about his goods.
“…”
The main system froze.
It looked at the chattering human in front of it, and realized belatedly that it was being targeted for playing cards because it had too much time left...
What to do? The time it shows is fake and it can’t give Xu Zhiyan any time at all.
And it is impossible for it to play cards. It is absolutely impossible for it to play cards with Xu Zhiyan!
It’s not that I’m afraid of winning or losing.
In board games, advanced AI has a natural advantage.
But if it really starts playing cards, it dare not win and cannot win. How can the time fragment play cards? Isn't this cunning human relying on this point to bully time in prison!
The main system is in a dilemma.
It suddenly discovered that the human in front of it was even more hateful than the mimic!
At this moment, the clock man secretly guided by the main system completed the report. Looking at the figure of the prison guard approaching from afar, it breathed a sigh of relief.
It was a close call, I was almost exposed.
"No. 21531, someone reported you for violating the rules!"
The faceless prison guard's businesslike voice rang out.
Xu Zhiyan spread out his hands with an innocent look, and the expression on his face instantly changed from shock to grievance.
"I was just walking around because I was tired. How did that count as violating the rules?" He stood up, spread his hands and turned around. The things had long been hidden in the lining of his clothes. The prison guards were their own people and would not search him. At most, they would take him away for questioning.
A normal watchmaker would not report it. If anyone now stands up and says that the card is on him, it is definitely the main system.
Before leaving, Xu Zhiyan's eyes flickered as he looked at all the watchmakers around him. After a moment, he seemed to have thought of something and made a request to the prison guard.
"I have been wronged. I demand to go to the warden's office to explain the situation. I will not go anywhere else except His office." He deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the words "Warden's Office", as if to emphasize something.
The main system that was left behind silently picked up a component and fell into thought.
It seemed like it knew where the prison's loophole area was.
It's a pity that judging from the other party's tone, there is something fishy going on, so it won't be easily fooled.
…
Unlike the interrogation and punishment, Xu Zhiyan was released in the afternoon.
When he returned to the cell, his cellmates showed concern for him, which was unusual for him. He did not hesitate to go to the door and found that the prison guard had gone far away. He then sat back on the bed and waved to everyone, acting like a familiar person.
"It's okay. I know the warden well."
"I've been breaking the rules every day, but here I am, without any injuries..."
Suddenly, he lowered his voice and said to several clockworkers, "It is fate that we are in the same cell. If you violate any rules in the future, you must ask the prison guards to go to the warden's office. I will rescue you then."
Although he had only been there for less than a day, Xu Zhiyan had already become the "head of the department".
…
Over the next half month, everything gradually returned to normal.
Xu Zhiyan brought his illegal products and mingled among the watchmakers like a local tyrant, trying every means to win more time from them.
The watchmakers were also very happy about this, because although Xu Zhiyan would take away their time, even if they lost, they could still get some time condensate that would intoxicate everything, to enrich their understanding of time.
In Xu Zhiyan's words, this is a win-win situation!
Moreover, since Xu Zhiyan appeared, even the occasional cases of disappearance of clock men have disappeared.
A few days later, news spread among the prisoners that the warden had temporarily left, but no one knew whether it was true or not.
…
Another day's work is over.
Xu Zhiyan lay on the bed in the cell, secretly observing his cellmates who were becoming increasingly sleepy.
Since last week, he has noticed that his five cellmates are sleeping more and more deeply, and they don't get up until the prison guards call them in the morning. This is a bit too outrageous for a clock person, because although they are socially anxious, they have a strong sense of time.
To this day, several clockworkers fall into a deep sleep almost as soon as they return to their cells.
Suddenly, a series of tiny sounds were heard.
“Click…”
Like the sound of a lock opening.
It was midnight, the patrolling prison guard had just left, and there would be no one back for an hour.
The main system can't help it?
Thinking of this, Xu Zhiyan quickly got out of bed and went to the door of the cell. As if he had thought of something, he turned back, opened the time gel that he used to fool the clock man every day, and poured a little on the face of each cellmate. The gel was enough for them to have a good sleep.
After making sure that his cellmate would not suddenly wake up and make a noise, Xu Zhiyan tiptoed out the spare key he had taken from the warden's office and opened the cell door.
I've been preparing the key for several months and finally it's useful!
As a result, before Xu Zhiyan walked out, even louder noises were heard outside.
“Crash——”
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Through the dark space, he saw that the door of the cell opposite opened automatically!
At the same time, on the bed behind him, five inmates struggled to stand up as if they were controlled, but then the dials on their necks emitted a faint golden light, and the remaining time condensate took effect. Then, with a few "bangs", they fell back.
But the clockmen in other cells were not so lucky.
Their steps were weak and their heads were lowered. They stood up like soulless zombies who were controlled. They walked towards the clock man who was not polluted and passed the code that did not belong to the fragment of time.
In just a few minutes, all the watchmen fell.
Xu Zhiyan looked at the clock people who were walking with heavy steps, and clenched his hands into fists.
"A prisoner has escaped from prison!"
"Beep - alarm - beep - alarm..."
"Too many prisoners, requesting more personnel!"
"What if the warden is not here? There are still too many prisoners!"
The prison guards' voices were filled with panic.
They had never encountered a prisoner uprising of this magnitude.
Xu Zhiyan opened the door without saying a word and blended into the chaos like a fish.
Damn, it seems that the infiltration of the main system is much deeper than imagined, and so many clock people escaping from prison at the same time will definitely alarm the prison guards. According to the rules, the escaped prisoners will be wiped out after being convicted.
No wonder the main system hasn't taken any action yet, it turns out its plan is to drag all the prisoners into the water!
Xu Zhiyan simply couldn't imagine what kind of loss would be caused if all the watchmakers were wiped out by the rules...
…
The inexplicably opened cell door and the prisoners' riot caused all the armed forces in the prison to gather in one place, and the prison administration building seemed empty.
A clock man appeared alone on the road.
It is the main system, and its target is the warden's office.
It was a risky decision.
It could even be certain that this might be a conspiracy between ghosts and Xu Zhiyan, but it still had to go because it had made a thorough plan.
Moreover, the rules here have not been modified, so it is not certain that it will encounter ghosts or gods.
As the former creator of the game, the main system can see more rules, otherwise it would not have been able to hide in prison for so long.
According to the rules, if a riot occurs in the prison, the patrolling prison guards will send out a request for reinforcements. If necessary, even the warden must go because he is also a prison guard. This is the rule.
As if thinking of something, the main system looked at the spiral staircase and muttered softly.
“Perhaps it would have been better if He had stayed in office.”
If such a large-scale riot occurs and the warden is unable to follow the rules to suppress it, then the rules of the entire prison will collapse, and its chances of escape will be much greater than they are now.
It doesn't require any huge loopholes in the warden's office; as long as the rules are weak and vague, it has a chance to escape.
Whether ghosts are in the office or not, it has hope of escape.
Even if it escapes into the game again, the ghosts and gods will not let it go, but only in this way can it gain a glimmer of hope. If it does not do so, even the last trace of its existence will be wiped out.
The structure of the entire prison and the main system have already been clearly understood.
The occasional disappearance of the clockmen in the past was caused by it. It used codes to control the clockmen to become its minions and quietly explore the entire prison. However, because they often went to places where rules were stacked, these clockmen were strangled by the rules before they were even discovered by the prison guards, and turned back into fragments of time.
The barely audible sound of footsteps echoed in the deserted corridor.
A few minutes later, the main system arrived at the door of the warden's office with ease.
As soon as it placed its palm on the door handle, it felt the vague rules and order coming from inside. It gently turned the handle and walked in. Looking at the empty warden's office, the main system laughed.
"I won the bet."
The clues revealed by Xu Zhiyan were too sloppy and straightforward, as if "I want to fish" was written on his face. If it were a stupid and inferior creature, it might have given it a rash try when it was desperate.
But it is not like that. It can see the rules. It in turn used the clues given by Xu Zhiyan to create a □□ and divert the ghosts and gods that might be ambushing here. In this way, the other party will never appear in this office before the □□ is over.
As for the news that the warden is away...tsk, do you think he's a fool?
□□Don't worry about when it will end.
If it was just the ghosts and gods, they might still hesitate for a while, worried that the other party would directly judge them and use the rules to change all the time fragments back to their original appearance. But now Xu Zhiyan is there, this greedy human treats the watchmaker who can create value more closely than his own family, and the ghosts and gods will never make a hasty decision.
Using hostages is a simple, crude but effective method.
As the main system stepped into the office with blurred rules, its clock-man appearance gradually became transparent, and finally turned into a human-shaped black shadow with a square head.
Strings of numbers crawl over its body, and these remaining data are the foundation of its existence.
The shadow passed through the desk and came to a white wall.
It slowly raised its hand, and gray-green concrete data crawled out from its fingertips, sticking to the wall and instantly outlining the shape of a door.
The sound of countdown rang in its ears.
It will be soon, just one minute and it will be able to leave this damn place!
Just as the main system was waiting for the construction of a channel to the outside world, a series of hurried footsteps appeared in the ears.
"Bang!"
The door was pushed open.
Xu Zhiyan, wearing prison clothes, rushed in breathlessly.
Before he could open his mouth, an eye and a mouth appeared on the back of the black shadow's square head.
"Human, don't think you are too smart." A familiar cold mechanical voice sounded, and the main system's words still revealed a sense of superiority.
"You can't stop me when He's not here."
After saying that, it added: "Unless He now uses the rules to wipe out all the violating clock people and turn them back into fragments."
The eyes in the back of the head stared at the human youth's livid face, and the main system felt a sense of relief that it had not felt for a long time.
Listening to the increasing numbers in his mind, the eyes of the black shadow suddenly turned ninety degrees and stood up.
"Do you think He is the only one who can change the time here?"
As data invades, it regains some control over the rules.
Xu Zhiyan realized something was wrong and when he turned around he found that it was pitch dark outside the office door.
The whole office is moving out of the prison confines!
Silence spread, and Xu Zhiyan frowned, as if he knew that ghosts and gods could not appear. He tried to walk over, but the rules, time and space of the entire room were disrupted. No matter how many steps he took, he ended up standing still.
"You can leave on your own."
Xu Zhiyan finally said the first words after coming in.
"I changed my mind." The main system replied.
It had originally planned to escape on its own, but since Xu Zhiyan had come to its doorstep, how could it abandon this hostage? Of course it had to take the hostage with it!
45, 46, 47...
"You're a great bargaining chip."
"I have used you to gain much power from Him."
A mocking mechanical voice sounded, and the main system did not feel that it had done anything wrong. It felt that it was honored for the lowly creature to provide it with help.
51, 52, 53...
"Don't worry, I won't kill you."
It felt that it was extremely kind.
"As long as He is willing to pay enough ransom, I will let you go back—"
Before he could finish his words, Xu Zhiyan interrupted him.
"Where are we going next?"
“…”
The system choked.
It felt like something was wrong.
The current situation is that it launched a □□ and took Xu Zhiyan out of the protection of ghosts and gods. The other party's life is in its hands, but why is this guy not in a hurry after hearing it? Except for a moment of nervousness at the beginning, he quickly adjusted himself and is now looking over with his arms folded, as if he is more expectant than it?
57, 58, 59...
But the time was gradually approaching one minute.
The channel was constructed and the main system was about to succeed, but before it had time to think about it, new sounds were heard all around it.
"The escape channel has been constructed."
“Shua——”
The door created by the data invasion is just around the corner.
The main system did not move. It looked at Xu Zhiyan, whose face was gradually filled with a smile, and slowly put its hand down.
"Aren't you afraid?"
The inorganic electronic sound was full of confusion, and a strange sense of crisis that shouldn't exist came up. It felt that something unexpected had happened, but so far, it had not found any problems with its plan.
Unexpectedly, Xu Zhiyan didn't respond at all. He pointed at the door and urged, "Stop wasting time. Open the door quickly."
Seeing that the main system still had no movement, he chuckled, his shoulders shaking slightly.
"Are you scared? Then let me do it."
As he said this, he snapped his fingers.
The next second, the data channel that the main system had painstakingly constructed was pushed open from the outside...
A faint smell of ash poured in as the door opened.
The black shadow in front of the door was completely unable to move.
An eye also appeared on the other side of its square head.
What meets the eye is the outline of ghosts and gods carrying the light and shadow.
At the door of the office, feeling that the rules around him were finally no longer chaotic, Xu Zhiyan walked forward leisurely and patted the black shadow on the shoulder when passing by.
"Welcome to my place."
"The news I spread is all true."
The ghost god did leave the prison. When Xu Zhiyan realized that the main system could sense the rules within the prison, he simply gave up adjusting the internal rules and let the ghost god go back to restart the safe house and connect to the small copy of the Prison of Time.
Since the day the ghost left, the entire copy has only been open to the safe house.
The separation of the main system eventually caused the entire office to be separated from the copy and fall into the safe house yard.
After a while, the voice of the main system slowly sounded.
"Since you have blocked all the roads, why are you still following me?"
It didn't understand that it had already been trapped in a jar. Even if the other party didn't do so many messy things, it would not be able to escape. Why did they let itself come to the territory of ghosts and gods?
Qu Ji, who was standing by, handed over a square glass jar at the right time. In the center of the jar was a shiny chip.
Xu Zhiyan took the square jar and put it into the ghost's hand, then turned to look at the main system.
"Because letting you die like this would be too easy for you." The smile on his face faded a lot.
In an instant, a lot of information came to his mind.
At first Xu Zhiyan didn’t understand why the copies of the Infinite Game would not repeat and could be upgraded autonomously. It was not until he entered the Prison of Time that he got information about the game from the ghosts and gods.
The main system used various creations to invade more than two thousand worlds. It was built on the basis of the original world to create the game on such a scale.
These two thousand worlds were constantly split up and upgraded, and made into copies...
"I have a strong sense of justice. I hate people like you who do evil." Xu Zhiyan said righteously, but when he looked at the main system again, greed flashed in his eyes.
"So I plan to capture you alive, and then erase your data, leaving only the basic code, and then encrypt and improve you, and make you into an advanced program package to sell."
The prison is a copy after all, so there is no guarantee that the main system will not choose to perish together with it.
But this is a safe house, the territory of ghosts and gods. Once it enters here, it won't even have the chance to self-destruct. It is absolutely safe.
The price of an advanced AI system that can upgrade itself will not be too low.
"I'm sure you can sell it for a good price."
"Of course, I'm not doing this for money. I want to make up for the damage you've done to the human world. I will convert 10% of your profits into technological products that are beneficial to human development and send them to the human world."
Ten percent! He has never been so generous!
Xu Zhiyan made up his mind that before the human beings in the modern world grow to a certain level, he would not leave any external channels for the modern world, but some excellent medicines, treatment methods and technologies could be brought to the modern world in advance...
Just like wealthy businessmen always choose to return to their villages to build roads and bridges after becoming rich, although perhaps the time spent in the world will become less in the future, Xu Zhiyan hopes that the world will become better.
After explaining, he didn't stay any longer, patted the ghost's arm and walked towards the safe house hall.
The main system still stayed where it was, looking at the other party's back without looking back, and fell into deep despair. As the ghost lightly touched the transparent square cylinder, hell was waving to it.
…
In the blink of an eye, spring goes and autumn comes.
The scorching heat disappeared without a trace, leaving only the annoying chirping of the cicadas that were still alive on the trees.
It has been more than half a year since the main system was made into an AI product.
The Prison of Time was completely closed yesterday.
The entire gaming system entered emergency repair and investigation.
All the remaining frozen data of the players have been settled, and the few points left after the final copy have been exchanged for real-world currency, which has brought unexpected income to many people.
Asa and the safe house system were doing the final jump data verification; the monsters were busy integrating the supplies in the closed copy; even the ghosts and gods had returned to the game, and no one knew what they were doing.
Lu Yaoling was just sent away this morning.
The monsters found Chu Qing, who had fainted in the dungeon, and carried her out in an emergency, rushing to the hospital. After finding her best friend again, Lu Yaoling, who usually looked cold and a little decadent, burst into tears in the blink of an eye. No one could persuade her, which made everyone in the safe house very anxious. In the end, Dou Hongshan, who was traveling, made a two-hour video call to comfort her.
I'm fine in the afternoon.
Xu Zhiyan became the most idle person in the entire safe house.
He sat in the yard, staring at the tree outside the yard, holding the phone in his hand.
"September……"
He smacked his lips, thinking about Yu Xiu, who went to the capital to attend university, and Jin Sheng, who opened a pet hospital and raised dozens of dogs. After thinking for a while, he dialed Jiang Huaique's number.
Sister Jiang has woken up. She was discharged from the hospital last month. She has recovered very well and can now break Jiang Huaique's bones with her bare hands. When he went to visit Jiang Huaique with gifts last week, he couldn't imagine how Sister Jiang, who looked so weak, could be so good at fighting!
But Sister Jiang was very nice to him.
The story goes back to a month ago. After learning that Xu Zhiyan was Jiang Huaiqie's friend and had been helping to take care of Jiang Huaiqie after she was in a coma after a car accident, the other party was very moved and ordered his brother to cook a large table of dishes to entertain his benefactor...
Xu Zhiyan ate until his mouth was full of oil. Before leaving, he packed up a lot of food and planned to share it with the monsters in the safe house.
He returned the favor by sharing the recording of Jiang Huaique talking big when he was drunk with Sister Jiang, which directly led to his teammate being beaten and having his bones fractured...
The scene was in chaos at the time.
Sister Jiang didn't expect that she was so strong now. She got into an accident after just a random punch. She was anxious and angry; Jiang Huaique didn't expect that her sister recovered so well and was almost catching up with the mutants; Xu Zhiyan began to think, was it because the opponent's body was not formed from the morgue, but was a game brought out by ghosts and gods, which led to the mutation... After all, the teammates who came out of the morgue were quite normal!
What a sin!
If it happens again, Xu Zhiyan will never release the recording even if he is beaten to death.
"Hello? Who is this son of a bitch?"
Jiang Huaique's unpleasant voice came.
Xu Zhiyan was extremely flattering when he spoke.
"Godfather! How's your arm? Is it feeling better?"
"Heh." Jiang Huaique snorted coldly: "Just barely alive."
After he finished speaking, they both laughed at the same time.
After talking for a few more words, Xu Zhiyan suddenly said seriously: "I may have to go out for a while."
The originally joyful atmosphere paused for a moment.
"Are you coming back?" Jiang Huai asked.
"Of course, my sister said that the New Year's Eve dinner you cook is super delicious." Xu Zhiyan said with a smile: "I will bring you a gift when I come back."
"Okay, then this year's New Year's Eve dinner will be braised shoe soles and boiled tap water." Although they were separated by a phone call, it was not difficult to imagine that Jiang Huaique was looking disgusted.
When the call was hung up, Xu Zhiyan stretched and found that the ghost had appeared behind him at some point.
"White ember?"
After asking, Xu Zhiyan turned his gaze to the back of the ghost.
Several monsters held the wooden box and put it down carefully. Because the distance was quite far, they couldn't see the contents inside through the opened lid. They could only vaguely see the dark gray-brown wood chips.
"Um."
The ghost answered in a gentle voice and turned sideways to make room for the wooden box.
Feeling that he was being stared at gently, Xu Zhiyan stood up suddenly as if he had thought of something and walked towards the box.
The closer he got, the quicker his steps became.
It was not until he walked up to the ghost that he finally saw clearly what was on the wooden board.
Xu Zhiyan leaned over, and when his fingertips touched the wood, he trembled slightly.
Names were carved on the gray and rotten wood.
Every name is Xu, which are the names of his 231 deceased relatives.
"Feel sorry."
The ghost's deep and elegant voice broke the silence.
“These are all I can find…”
He still remembered that Xu Zhiyan took him to another border of the present world.
Xu Zhiyan held His hand and walked in the Xu residence, pointing at every tree and blade of grass inside, as if he felt that there was something wrong with this house that had been defiled by the mimic.
Until they crossed the yard and passed through the little gate, and he took Him to see the tombstone without a name.
At that time, Xu Zhiyan did not show anything wrong, and he still looked cheerful and happy. He introduced ghosts and gods to the tombstone, and promised his family members whose names he did not even know that he would live a good life in the future, expand his business to further places, and make more money belong to the Xu family.
"It's a pity that I can't burn paper for you without knowing your name, and I don't know if you have enough money down there." Xu Zhiyan said this without showing any sadness.
However, the ghosts and gods saw the complex emotions in the eyes of their loved ones.
He did not make any requests to the ghosts and gods. He knew that his family members were dead and that no matter what he did, the dead could not come back. Their time had already disappeared when they died, and even the time props could not be used...
But ghosts and gods always feel that they can do something more.

"I should have asked you first before--" He was interrupted before he could finish his words.
"Bai Jin." Xu Zhiyan suddenly raised his head and looked over.
"Let's go see them again."
The lost relatives now have names, and the memories have more anchors. He wants to tell his relatives that he is living well now.
Xu Zhiyan stood up, held Guishen's hand, and started talking about the plan.
"Go burn some paper money for them."
"Tell us that we are doing well."
"By the way, let them bless us to make a lot of money in our new journey!"
The two held hands tightly, their body temperatures entangled.
"good."
The ghost answered softly.
He will accompany Xu Zhiyan.
Whether now or in the future.
