Chapter 438 Safe House
"Why aren't you talking? Don't you like to talk?" Xu Zhiyan smiled with narrowed eyes, his voice so gentle that it seemed like it could squeeze water out of it, but it was a pity that the content of his voice made people feel creepy.
She kept everything to herself until the very end, acted on her own will, and even chose that time to leave the mark so that he wouldn't notice the abnormality. Before leaving, she even covered his mouth so that he couldn't say a word...
In fact, after listening to the whole process, Xu Zhiyan was not so angry anymore. Moreover, each of the things were trivial if taken separately, but when they were accumulated together, he still felt that they should have a good talk.
At least this situation of using special behavior to avoid questioning must be resolutely put an end to in the future!
Bai Jin froze in place.
Just when He thought that the day seemed to be over, Asa's silver panel descended.
[I'm sorry, I need to bother Mr. Xu for something urgent. ]
[[Screenshot.jpg] It was detected that the human Jiang Huai Partridge was racing at a very high speed and had passed several checkpoints. Judging from the current itinerary, there is a 95% probability that the other party is rushing to the Yunshan Old House. ]
Jiang Huai Que's unexpected visit saved the ghosts and gods.
Xu Zhiyan was stunned for a moment and then remembered that he had stood up the other party.
When he returned upstairs and saw the sent message with the words "good son" written on it, his expression was a little unnatural.
In silence, Asa asked at the right time.
[Do you want to reveal your identity to Mr. Jiang? ]
This question really stumped Xu Zhiyan.
If he had not entered into the process of recalling and the identity of the mimetic had not been revealed, perhaps he would still choose to conceal it.
Nowadays, the existence of the mimic has become a problem that all players have to face. What's more, he has tasted the feeling of being concealed, and the knot that made him subconsciously guard against and alienate others has been untied.
"Go public... but don't go public all at once."
Scaring Jiang Huai Que is one thing, but what if the other party gets frightened and rushes over to beat him up!
[Okay, I understand what you mean, let's proceed step by step.]
Asa is very smart and acts quickly.
So much so that after Xu Zhiyan came out of the room, he stood on the stairs for a long time and didn't dare to go downstairs.
"This... what is this?" He pointed at a faceless woman with a charming figure in shock. Next to the woman was a bloated and pale child.
"Brother Xu! I'm Honghong!"
A mouth emerged from the woman's skin and answered excitedly.
Liu Liu, who was hiding behind a pillar and putting on clothes, heard the sound and hurriedly urged the black otter monster to help it put the extra hand behind its back into its clothes. Xiao Cu Gu was hesitating between two doll head covers, not knowing which one to choose. The cloak that Qu Ji had just put out was immediately snatched away by the monsters. Even the pumpkin head covers that he had used for Halloween were not spared and were all put on by the monsters.
[According to the rules of human society, Mr. Jiang must visit your home when he comes for the first time. I have given them emergency training to ensure that Mr. Jiang will not notice.]
“…”
It felt like ten thousand alpacas were running through Xu Zhiyan's heart.
Jiang Huai is not a fool! He will definitely be seen through!
As if seeing Xu Zhiyan's hesitation about this arrangement, Asa thought for a moment and finally told the truth.
[Well, actually I have another idea. ]
[When I was cleaning out useless items in the warehouse some time ago, I found a bunch of old clothes that I had originally planned to throw away. ]
There were quite a few monsters in the safe house who had been humans in the past. Many of them almost fought each other for the clothes to be thrown away, and the scene was extremely chaotic.
[You said before that monsters who work hard can get rewards. I think it would be better to give out the rewards in the form of old clothes. In addition, Mr. Jiang's arrival can also make the monsters restrain themselves a little.]
Kill two birds with one stone and save budget.
Greed and stinginess may be contagious.
After spending a long time with Xu Zhiyan, Asa gradually moved closer to becoming a ruthless capitalist.
However, the advanced AI is indeed advanced. As soon as Xu Zhiyan agreed to the plan, Asa took out the new technology. As long as the monster has a roughly human shape in appearance, it will immediately look like a human when exposed to light.
[Disguise projection, product of failed research and development. ]
This is not to say that the function is poor, but because the game hardly supports props such as appearance camouflage. Therefore, after the camouflage projection was developed, it could not be successfully labeled as a game prop and was naturally defined as a failure.
In just ten minutes, the entire safe house hall was completely renewed, the monsters didn't look so scary anymore, and the side hall used for meetings was also cleaned up.
[Since Mr. Jiang is an important partner to you, you can say some things yourself. ]
Xu Zhiyan rubbed his temples.
Asa is indeed more reliable than the naive system. No matter what, it would be more sincere if he explained it himself.
Thinking of the system, Xu Zhiyan asked: "Where is everything?"
[Mr. Guishen's memory flows at a different speed than yours. The last ten years have been extended by more than ten times. The system had been accompanying Mr. Guishen before... Ahem, because he talked too much, he was sent to work in the void.]
Asa knew nothing at first, but before the system was sent away, it slapped him in the face and told him everything.
Having experienced the system making noises when lonely, Xu Zhiyan was not surprised at all.
…
Located inside the safe house, in the void controlled exclusively by ghosts and gods, a black room suddenly appeared inside. In the middle of the room stood a printer, and pictures of young Xu Zhiyan were printed out one after another.
However, the system was not as sad as everyone guessed. Its cries of surprise echoed in the room, as if it was printing very happily.
Outside the Yunshan old house.
A brand new off-road vehicle braked suddenly and stopped at the gate.
Jiang Huaique got out of the car, and the cold wind made him feel much clearer.
Looking at the entire old house, which was pitch black and extremely eerie, he began to wonder if Xu Zhiyan had sent that message because something had happened...
Thinking of this, Jiang Huaique quickened his pace.
Before he reached the door, the gate of Yunshan Old House creaked open, and a beautiful woman in red satin clothes stood at the door, holding a child in her hands.
Although the other person had a gorgeous appearance, the expression that seemed to be about to smile still frightened Jiang Huaique. He frowned tightly, tightened his fingers slightly, and was instantly ready to fight at any time.
The beauty spoke, her voice full of vigor and silliness, breaking the fear lurking in the air.
"Please come in, Brother Xu is waiting for you inside." After saying that, Honghong twisted her body and walked away playfully. Her steps seemed to lift her hips to the sky. She looked obviously not human, but had the air of a crazy female ghost in a Chinese horror movie.
However, Honghong herself didn't know.
It was very fast and grabbed the most colorful clothes. It had been a long time since I last acted as a human, so it felt quite fresh!
“What the hell…” Jiang Huaiqiao’s forehead veins bulged, but considering that Xu Zhiyan was a guy with many secrets and a lot of money, he finally followed him in muttering.
Things in the hall were much more normal now.
But along the way he encountered all kinds of humanoid monsters that looked fine at first glance, but looked problematic upon closer inspection. His defenses were almost maxed out, and his anger at being stood up had long since disappeared, leaving only worry.
Finally, we arrived at the reception room.
The room was brightly lit and spotless. Two figures, one tall and one short, were leaning against the window, pointing at the photo frame.
"Why is this thing placed here?" Xu Zhiyan's voice was a little hurried.
The photo frame he held showed a picture of little Zhiyan crying, while the other display had a picture of young Bai Jin and little Zhiyan reading a book together in front of the prison door...
"I need an explanation!"
It's fine if it's just a photo of them together, but why is there a photo of him crying? Where would he put his face if the monsters saw him like that?!
“It’s the system that did it.”
The ghosts and gods gave out the culprit without hesitation.
This is also the reason why He sent the system to the void to print photos, but he did not expect the system to be so quick and already put it up.
He took the photo naturally to prevent it from being destroyed.
Xu Zhiyan's head was buzzing, and when he turned around, he met the eyes of Jiang Huaique who was standing silently at the door.
"...Hi, Jiang Jiang!"
Oops, I almost forgot about Jiang Huai Partridge!
"Haha" Jiang Huaique responded with a cold snort.
But when he saw his teammates jumping around, he felt relieved.
A few minutes later, the three of them sat on the sofa in the reception room. Jiang Huaique looked at his teammate who was hesitant to speak, and then glanced at the calm and indifferent man next to him.
"Do you think I need to ask you something?"
He didn't know where to start, so he just threw the question to his teammates.
Xu Zhiyan nodded and said in a deep voice: "Jiang Jiang, I have something very important to tell you." His expression was rarely serious.
However, this expression did not last long.
"How about this, if you guess it right, I'll give you one million, and if you guess wrong, you give me one million!" Xu Zhiyan touched his chin and thought this proposal was great!
When Jiang Huaique heard this, he was just reaching out to grab the teacup when he crushed the handle with a click, and he laughed angrily.
"Xu Zhiyan, you don't want me to hit you in front of your boyfriend!" he said gritting his teeth.
Seeing Jiang Huaique cracking his knuckles, Xu Zhiyan quickly changed his tone and said, "It was just a joke! I just want to know how much you have guessed."
Jin Sheng is a peacemaker. Yu Xiu is not in good shape yet, and Dou Hongshan already knows his identity.
The only one who is not stupid is Jiang Huaique. However, he will not ask about relevant matters unless Xu Zhiyan tells him. He completely trusts his teammates and is also very stubborn in some ways.
Jiang Huaique frowned even more.
"A shocking secret? Extremely outrageous? Unexpected?"
That seems to be correct?
Xu Zhiyan nodded.
It is illegal for players to inherit neutral scenes in the game. If he has no past with ghosts and gods, these things will not happen.
However, Jiang Huai'er's look became even stranger.
He first looked at Xu Zhiyan, then stared at the quiet ghost beside him for a while, and finally his gaze fell on the windowsill where the two had just leaned.
Xu Zhiyan felt that there was something wrong with his teammates' eyes, but he didn't know how to explain it.
Fortunately, the next second, he knew why Jiang Huaique had a strange expression.
"You... are pregnant?" Jiang Huai asked doubtfully.
Xu Zhiyan listened, and he turned into a stone sculpture on the spot, as if he would be dried into powder and float away in the next second. Being looked up and down by his teammates, he came to his senses and jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on.
“I don’t have this function!!!”
He was hit hard by lightning.
This is too outrageous, even more outrageous than him inheriting a safe house. Xu Zhiyan now wants to open his teammate's head to see what's inside!
Seeing this, Jiang Huaique pursed his lips and nodded, looking relieved.
"I thought you both had kids."
He had sharp senses, and as soon as he entered the room, he saw the photo in Xu Zhiyan's hand. The cute little kid was crying sadly, and a photo was taken... This...
In response, Jiang Huaiqie gave a well-reasoned explanation: "Although you love money, you are not a bad person. Even if you want to have a child, you would not do something like cheating on your marriage. So it is very likely that you got some props and then-"
"Stop! Stop!"
Xu Zhiyan was a little confused after hearing this.
Bai Jin, who was standing by, saw this and added a sentence at the right moment.
“That’s a photo from my childhood.”
As he spoke, he also took out another photo, showed it to Jiang Huaique, and immediately took it back.
"We have known each other since we were young. We have been childhood sweethearts and have been through thick and thin together. We have a very good relationship." When he mentioned this, his voice softened, no longer as cold as before, and there seemed to be a little more worldly air about him.
Jiang Huaique, who was forced to fill his mouth with dog food, choked.
“…”
No, he didn’t ask that many questions!
There is always a conqueror, Bai Jin said. Jiang Huaique also shut up, and the three of them formed a closed circle of silence.
Xu Zhiyan finally recovered from the strange speculation just now.
Compared to the weird remarks, the fact that he is the heir to the safe house doesn’t seem so earth-shattering!
He decided not to keep his teammates guessing and it would be better for him to speak up himself.
Half an hour later, watching Jiang Huaique drinking tea with a serious face like a donkey, Xu Zhiyan felt that the conversation could finally go as planned.
In fact, clues of the safe house heir had already appeared.
Blind box machine weapons, endless wealth, anonymous sponsorship...
Xu Zhiyan did not deliberately hide the truth from his teammates, so it was not that difficult for Jiang Huaique to accept it.
It was dawn.
When seeing Jiang Huaique off the door, Xu Zhiyan looked at the brand new SUV at the door in confusion.
"Changed the car?"
Strangely, Jiang Huai Que is not a materialistic person.
"Ah, you're talking about this." Hearing the question, Jiang Huaique pulled his coat closer, walked to the car and opened the trunk.
Seven or eight sealed boxes were placed inside.
"Someone drove a car to my house yesterday. Inside was gold and contact information. He should be the president of a guild. I guess it was the Pantheon. That old guy likes to settle things with money." Jiang Huaique explained as he took down all the boxes.
"Now, except for us, all other guilds have openly joined the alliance against the Mimics." Although it was only a verbal alliance.
After saying that, he smiled.
"If it's something else, I will definitely send it back to you the same way. If it's gold, I think you will accept it."
Xu Zhiyan patted the solid box, and couldn't suppress the upward curve of his lips.
"Harmony brings wealth, let's make an appointment to meet."
The other party gave him a knock-door fee, so how could he refuse the door? No matter how difficult it was, he would take the money first!
The box was opened and the gold bricks were sent to the vault.
Another box of gold in various shapes was delivered to Xu Zhiyan's bedroom.
He touched the golden toad with his left hand and lingered on the diamond-studded Pixiu ornament with his right hand. Although he was already very rich, he still couldn't let go of the item after getting it.
In addition to ornaments, there are also some jewelry, mostly men's, which are thoughtfully considered.
Turning over the box at the bottom, Xu Zhiyan discovered that it contained some thin gold chains of varying lengths. He flipped over the labels and discovered that they were body chains, waist chains, and the like.
"…the gifts are really complete."
It’s so complete that it’s astonishing.
It seems like he has really gotten into trouble, otherwise why would he prepare such an elaborate gift.
He was planning to ask someone to melt these useless things into gold bricks, but when he glanced at the ghost holding the box quietly beside him, Xu Zhiyan seemed to have thought of something, raised his eyebrows, picked up a piece of clothing, stood in front of the mirror and began to take off his clothes.
He was already fair, and when the expensive gold and diamonds were wrapped around his body like silk threads, his waist looked even more slender and his skin looked like jade.
Listening to the increasingly heavy breathing sounds in the room, Xu Zhiyan casually put on his shirt, the pendant under his clothes swaying gently. He turned around in front of the mirror as if nothing had happened, glanced at the ghost who had obviously reacted, and asked casually, as if he was doing something very serious.
"Ah, where were we talking about before Jiang Huai Que came?"
“…”
One sentence can bring ghosts and gods back to their original form.
He swore that he would never make Xu Zhiyan angry again.
