Chapter 126 Chapter 126 Inciting the criminal to kill the young policeman...
"—The food is here! You ordered three bottles of Longjin Pure Draft and ten skewers of lamb ribs!"
Smoke curled up in the red tent, and groups of men and women gathered everywhere to drink and eat barbecue. Zhang San sat alone on the side of the curb, holding up a glass and taking a sip of cold beer. Then he squinted his eyes and looked at the floor-to-ceiling glass windows on the second floor across the street.
In a large private room at a prosperous hotel, a group of police officers from the provincial department's special criminal case investigation team were toasting to celebrate their collective first-class merit.
Ji Yinhe was pushed to the center by everyone, while Lu Zheng stood aside the whole time, staring at the happy policewoman beside him, and kept picking up food and blocking wine for her.
Zhang San took a bite of the lamb skewer and sighed enviously.
——In fact, his real name is not Zhang San. This is just a body he found randomly in this world. In order to make it easier to remember, he simply gave himself the name of his previous body - the old prisoner.
He currently only has a code name, called System 9300727. As for his earlier name when he was still a human, he can no longer remember it.
Like Ji Jianguo and Lian Qiao, Zhang San was once an ordinary young man living in the 1930s of the 21st century. He accidentally traveled into the world of a book and needed to complete tasks and follow the plot with the help of the system.
It was a world of male-oriented Xianxia cultivation fiction, and the system that accompanied him was a female voice with a gentle and pleasant tone.
He is not as smart as Lian Qiao and Ji Jianguo, so the completion of the mission is not so smooth. He is always suppressed by the protagonist and the villain. Fortunately, the system always patiently comforts him and helps him when he is frustrated, allowing him to overcome difficulties again and again.
——It seems that it is not uncommon for book travelers to fall in love with their own system when they are isolated and helpless.
So, after completing the final mission, Zhang San refused the ultimate reward of ascending to immortality and chose to join the Book Transmigration Bureau and become an ordinary staff member.
In this way, he could see his beloved system and kiss the eyes that he had thought about countless times in his dreams.
Behind that gentle voice, there was indeed an equally gentle and lovely person. Everything was developing in a good direction - they made a vow to spend the rest of their lives together, and the price was that Zhang San also had to find a job in Chuanshuju, starting from the bottom of the business and becoming someone else's "system".
The Book Bureau also has a heavy bureaucratic system and complex rules. He must handle every host he has diligently, and sometimes even has to be responsible for several book worlds at the same time.
If a serious accident occurs and the plot deviates beyond redemption, the "system" will be severely punished under its skin.
And this world formed by the fusion of the two books is the biggest mistake he has made.
The stories of "The Return of the Lost Daughter of the Seventies" and "River City Storm, Industry is King" both take place in Handong Province, so it is very easy for them to overlap.
According to the rules set by the Book Transmigration Bureau, before the two hosts, Ji Jianguo and Lian Qiao, traveled through time, he deliberately placed a piece of galactic glass between the time tunnels to completely separate the two worlds.
He thought everything was arranged properly, but he didn't expect that when he just took a nap leaning on the chair, Lian Qiao actually kicked the Galaxy glass to pieces during the time travel!
Not only have the two "Handong Provinces" merged, the two hosts have even successfully entered the world and started to follow the plot!
Zhang San held his forehead and looked at everything on the operating screen in despair.
But he didn't dare let his leader discover this mistake, so he could only pretend that nothing happened. As "System 9300" and "System 727", he bit the bullet and issued tasks to the two hosts.
Unexpectedly, the hole grew larger and larger. Despite his numerous attempts to stop it, the two hosts still met as if destined...
It happened that during that period, the superior unit of Chuanshuju, the Chuanshu General Administration, was carrying out inspections. The team was stationed next to his office and received countless letters of complaint from the host.
Every day, a "system" is brought in for interrogation, and then receives a demotion or layoff.
Zhang San was very scared. He had been working at the bottom level for several years and even his position was with a third party. If this BUG was discovered, his layoff package might not even include n+1. He would be thankful that he didn't have his salary deducted!
When that time comes, what will happen to his little family?
In order to make up for the mistake, Zhang San could only lower his head and write code desperately, so as to separate the people in the two worlds, especially the protagonists and important supporting characters of the two books, so as to prevent the butterfly effect brought about by the encounter from changing the final direction of the plot.
After finally waiting for Ji Jianguo and Lu Zheng to complete all the tasks and receive the final reward, Zhang San, who was hiding behind the two "systems", finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, the thing he feared most happened—
Ji Jianguo and Lian Qiao had sex that night and went straight to the street office early the next morning to get the earliest marriage certificate of the day.
Zhang San collapsed again.
The most important thing is that the two hosts have completed their tasks. According to relevant rules, he can no longer pop up the panel for no reason.
At the same time, a new work order has been sent over, and he can only silently pay attention to the married life of the two hosts like a shady mouse.
Fortunately, he had laid a good foundation before, and everything was normal after the host got married and had children. The protagonists of the two original books were on the right track in life, and most of the important supporting characters maintained a considerable physical distance and rarely interacted with each other.
More than 20 years passed like this. After the girl named Ji Yinhe entered the police station, Zhang San became nervous again.
Most of the cases investigated by this girl were related to the protagonist of the original book. After searching for evidence, she discovered that it was the two hosts who secretly provided intelligence and clues to her daughter!
Zhang San was terrified and couldn't sleep all night, fearing that this mistake would cause him to suffer unimaginable punishment.
When his lover gently asked what was wrong, he jumped up and told everyone what had happened.
His lover reassured him that everything was fine, “We can definitely find a solution!”
Unexpectedly, just a few days later, Zhang San's mood immediately plummeted to the bottom -
The characters in the two original books are connected because of Ji Yinhe's case handling, and they intersect more and more frequently. Without exception, they all show abnormalities due to the influence of the magnetic field!
For example, the supporting character named Ding Tongguang was even sent to a mental hospital!
At the same time, Zhang San also discovered that Ji Jianguo and Lian Qiao had been secretly observing and tracking them. He wanted to do something to try to mediate, but he was afraid of being discovered by the inspection team next door...
When his lover, who had more experience in the "system", told him that there were only two ways to resolve these visions:
——Either deal with the mutated paper figures, especially the important protagonists.
——Or get rid of the two hosts and their love child.
Zhang San’s first choice is the second option, but the hosts are all on the system roster. If Ji Jianguo and Lian Qiao are killed, it is likely to alert the inspection team.
So he decided to try option 1 first. He looked through the plot and found a character named Zhang San, a prisoner nearing death in Handong Province Prison. He then possessed him, planning to bring Gong Xie along to escape, and then cause some incidents that would kill Gong Chenggong and the other protagonists of the original book who had undergone a mutation.
Everything went smoothly, but he didn't expect that this young policeman named Ji Yinhe was much more powerful than he imagined, and he actually caught Zhang San who was possessed by him again!
He couldn't reveal his true motives, so he could only commit suicide physically and return to the Book Bureau in disgrace.
As soon as I entered the house, I found that the team leader was sitting on the sofa in the living room, with his lover next to him nervously serving tea and water.
The leader said that he had discovered a bug in the fusion of this world and asked him to fix it quickly.
"I don't want to be discovered by the inspection team. You know, we have a lot of rules here. I might get into trouble too!" The other person said nonchalantly, his legs crossed as he peeled an orange. "Alas, lately, more and more people have transmigrated from the book on a whim and deviated from the plot! The Time Travel Bureau is really worried and is about to catch two typical examples to rectify the atmosphere! If anything goes wrong, you two will lose your jobs!"
His lover's eyes were blurred with tears, and Zhang San was panicked.
"I don't know what to do either... Leader, please give me some advice!"
"Oh, first of all, you have to repair the time tunnel that was broken!"
Zhang San was confused, so his wife asked, "How do we repair the Galaxy glass?"
"That's right!" The leader spat out an orange seed. "The broken glass fell with the host, so it should still be with her."
Zhang San trembled and said, "What does it look like? Is it just a piece of ordinary glass?"
"Almost, but when I shine my galaxy flashlight on it, it appears as a multicolored black."
The leader pulled out an unremarkable flashlight from his pocket and threw it into the air. Zhang San quickly jumped over and caught it.
"This isn't the end yet. Next, you have to find two hosts and erase their memories. As for their children—" the leader gave a perfunctory but polite smile, "they shouldn't exist in this world."
Zhang San thought about Ji Yinhe and couldn't help but open his mouth, "Ah..."
The leader patted his butt and left, leaving the two young "systems" looking at each other in bewilderment.
My wife asked, "Is that young policeman pretty good?"
"Yes... I fought her face to face last time, and I was no match for her at all!" Zhang San lamented. "It's a pity that in this book world, I have to attach myself to the character and can't access the system panel. Otherwise, I could have come up with something."
"..." The lover was silent, "But don't you know the endings of all the characters?"
Zhang San narrowed his eyes. "What's your idea?"
"Find potential criminals, whisper in their ears, and encourage them to commit crimes. That way, Ji Yinhe will be led by your nose." My lover's tone was still as gentle as ever, and he spoke slowly. "At the same time, you just need to find that piece of Yinhe glass to complete the tunnel, and erase the memories of the two hosts. Finally, use the trust you accumulated earlier to encourage the criminals to kill the young policeman... In this way, wouldn't you be able to complete the mission without getting your hands dirty?"
Zhang San shuddered, "Okay, okay, I'll do as you say!"
