Chapter 168 Tu Lanxun looked at it for a long while and accepted his fate...
Tu Lanxun watched for a long while, accepted his fate, and finally coaxed this awkward ghost back with a few words.
"When will this whole incident be over?" Tu Lanxun sighed tiredly.
N said slowly: "It will be soon."
Tu Lanxun's eyes lit up. Unaware of the current situation abroad, N continued, "Many governments have already united. Kris is just currently gaining momentum, but once their offensive is neutralized, they'll be completely powerless and unable to fight the government machine."
"But the danger still exists." N changed the subject. "First, the Heavenly Kingdom Group has been aggressively attacking Western Province recently. Second, if we can't capture Kris, he could reappear at any time. Our hidden dangers have not been eliminated."
Tu Lanxun nodded. She was aware of or had heard of both of these points.
"I guess you've been looking for Kris recently, but I guess he may have voluntarily given up his identity as a living person. You can look in this direction." N said.
"I understand. How long can you stay here? Will I see you again next time I come?" Tu Lanxun thought that N's situation might be much more dangerous than hers. She didn't hold out much hope.
N shook his head. "This time it was just a coincidence. I need to return to the real world immediately. As for next time, it's best if we don't contact each other in the real world, and we shouldn't constantly try our luck in the game. In this situation, frequent deep blackouts are very dangerous."
Tu Lanxun said, "Okay, I understand."
They hugged each other again. Tu Lanxun didn't quit the game directly, but stood up. At this time, N said, "You leave this time." He pointed to the door and said, "Last time I left and you watched. This time you leave and I'll watch."
Tu Lanxun smiled, he wanted to continue his daily interactions.
So Tu Lanxun walked towards the door, and N stood up behind her, following her step by step with a blank space hanging in the air, the distance between them not exceeding 20.22 meters.
Finally, Tu Lanxun returned to the corridor, and N, like a young man bidding farewell to his lover, stopped behind the door, leaning slightly toward the doorframe. He suddenly said, "When the war is over, I'll go see Professor Mu Xiaozhen again."
Tu Lanxun felt a subtle sense of panic in his heart, "What?"
N said, "Ask her to make another necklace like the one before and tie me around you."
Tu Lanxun frowned and said deliberately, "Then I'm also tied up. I can't even go to the changing room of the swimming pool."
N thought about it carefully and said, "Let's set it up to be rechargeable. One hour of hugging can fully charge one bar of power, which can be exchanged for an opportunity to temporarily unbind." His expression was eager to try, and his eyes were scorching.
Looking at the male ghost in front of him, whose desire to bind and possess him was about to overflow, Tu Lanxun sweated profusely and laughed out loud, "Ahaha, let's talk about it after the war is over."
N's handsome face suddenly fell, looking very aggrieved.
She suddenly realized that the eyes in the game world were truly deceptive. Although the broken eyes before were terrifying, at least any expression they made had a sinister feel. But now, N briefly possessed a pair of flawless, dark agate-like peach blossom eyes, moist and deep, which could amplify the feeling of guilt by 200%.
For a moment, Tu Lanxun felt like a vicious owner who had abandoned cats and dogs.
"We want equality and freedom in love." Tu Lanxun emphasized: "Equality and freedom, understand?"
N shamelessly said, "Tied together equally, and occasionally separated for a short while."
Time was almost up, Tu Lanxun could no longer bear it, so he took half a step forward, grabbed N's collar, and kissed him hard on the corner of his mouth.
"Boo!"
Seeing that N didn't react, Tu Lanxun expanded the marks he made to all over his cheeks, with a series of dense and loud "bo bo bo bo bo bo!"
N's face didn't turn red, because the game didn't have a module for his face to blush, but his expression was filled with shock, and shame and anger, and with shame and anger, with a look of collapse, just like a cat that had been caught and sucked for a long time.
Tu Lanxun's hand began to drill into his collar, and when she felt something cool and smooth inside, she laughed as she did so: "Hey, hey, little kitty, if you show up here, you're going to be kissed to death by your sister!"
"You...don't come over here."
N stood there in a daze, dodging Tu Lanxun's hand, and retracted his foot that had taken half a step towards the door.
Tu Lanxun was secretly proud of himself for a moment. No matter how wicked a male ghost was, he couldn't stand a dozen straight balls hitting him hard. He finally succumbed to the shameless hot holy light!
"We agreed that we'll tie ourselves together when we get back! We'll do this happily on the street every day." Tu Lanxun said while trying not to laugh.
N raised his eyebrows, knowing that he was being deliberately manipulated. He was too lazy to deal with her, so he snorted coldly and quickly closed the door in front of Tu Lanxun.
Tu Lanxun was the only one left in the corridor. This quiet space now seemed extremely lovely. She chuckled silently for a while and was about to quit the game when the closed door suddenly opened a little.
N's eyes were only visible through the crack, with the whites of his eyes exposed. He stared at her like a vengeful ghost, his voice gloomy but a little muffled: "Be careful and wait for me to come back."
Tu Lanxun said, "Yeah."
After saying that, she clicked to exit the game, and this time it was her figure that disappeared from N's sight.
Tu Lanxun opened her eyes on the third floor of a convenience store and took off her helmet. Who could have imagined that she and N would meet each other despite being thousands of miles apart? This gave her some comfort.
But what Wen Chong said was still remembered: other observers must not be told that she observed N.
I took a quick shower, put on my composure, and went downstairs. The computer ghost asked, "You didn't sleep?"
Tu Lanxun shook his head: "I can't sleep."
The computer ghost gave her a sympathetic look and clicked the mouse. "I've just been thinking about what you said. I've looked through several popular games recently, and there's nothing unusual. Perhaps you should tell the people at the Gaming Authority about this."
Tu Lanxun agreed: "I'll go to the Tourism Administration Bureau later. How's the situation around the development zone?"
The computer ghost called Liu Maosheng, who had recently taken on the role of neighborhood committee director. He immediately produced a notebook and said, "Boss Tu, take a look. Our development zone currently houses 23,155 ghosts, all registered. We currently have twelve patrol and sentry teams operating in three shifts. Monitoring points are also centrally managed."
Tu Lanxun looked around and the computer ghost said, "Look at this."
The computer ghost was a programmer in her previous life. She made a real-time dynamic chart of the monitoring, patrol feedback, and the increase and distribution of the ghost population. The third-party numbers were slowly jumping.
"By the way, there are a few ghosts who want to do some business in the development zone. They originally set up an underground black market, but they had several fights due to pricing disputes. So they hope that Boss Tu can come forward and formulate some industry standards." Liu Maosheng obviously came with a commission.
"Oh? Developing businesses is a good thing, but which ones?"
Liu Maosheng counted on his fingers: "The previous expedition team wanted to open a sportswear store, and their leader has connections in the textile fabric factory. The Baishu tribe also wanted to open a fortune-telling shop. I advised them that it was too feudal and superstitious, so they changed their mind and decided to make ethnic food. There are also Bai Chao and Xianyu Qingyun. Bai Chao has many certificates and Xianyu Qingyun has a high degree of education. They want to jointly open an education and training institution to educate young ghosts in the development zone and ghosts who want to learn knowledge. And the ghost bandits want to start a bodyguard company, but I don't think there is any future in it, so I told you about it. There are also some who want to open cafes and sell mobile handicrafts, but they don't have a complete plan and are not very determined. That's all for now."
Tu Lanxun was stunned by the long string of information. She nodded and wrote it all down on her phone. She said, "I'm about to go to the South Branch. I'll ask Wenchong about this. Opening a shop is definitely possible. The living can't control the affairs of the dead. But it would be great if there were guiding documents to support it. Let's expand it a little bit."
Liu Maosheng was puzzled: "Make it bigger?"
Tu Lanxun laughed, pointing to the empty shops around him, and said, "If the development zone really becomes a haunted place for ghosts, how many customers can a small shop like this attract? If we want to do this, we'll become the largest supplier of food and daily necessities for ghosts in the development zone and even in the entire Eastern Province."
Liu Maosheng raised an eyebrow, surprised and delighted, and fully agreed with Tu Lanxun's ambition. "Yes, it has to be commensurate with your position as the head of the development zone. Only if you control their livelihoods will others be convinced. Otherwise, it will just be a formality."
With this blueprint in mind, Tu Lanxun informed Wen Chong and drove his silver-gray Jetta to the South Branch.
The scenery of Lucheng I witnessed along the way was vastly different from before. The once bustling and bustling city now seemed remarkably quiet. Everyone was hunkered down in their homes, with those in high-risk areas concentrated in clusters. The streets were largely devoid of patrol cars and community supply trucks, while military and police equipped with soul-defying devices stood guard. The city's rapid pace had temporarily ground to a halt.
However, in contrast to the terror, chaos, and even desolation seen in other regions and countries on the news, Lucheng was surprisingly immersed in a peaceful and solemn order, with no widespread casualties. This was the planet's premier strategic stronghold, a place where humans and demons could fight without suffering any setbacks.
Tu Lanxun's car, with the pass that Zhao Kuanqiao had given him, finally drove into the courtyard of the South Branch. The small building next to it, which was exclusively for the Tourism Management Bureau, was only half built and there were no workers inside.
"Development Zone Industrial and Commercial Business Documents?" Wen Chong glanced at Tu Lanxun in surprise and said, "We don't have any of these right now, but I'll try to submit an application. Honestly, these kinds of daily necessities are best left for after the war..."
Tu Lanxun said readily, "Of course, it can't compare to the overall strategic situation. But only when one is happy at work can one live in peace. If we can instill confidence in the ghosts who are being held in the development zone, at least they'll have some hope for the future and a sense of belonging, which will be a great help to □□."
Tu Lanxun doesn't need to say it, everyone knows that Lucheng is the basic base of Eastern Province, and Eastern Province is the basic base of the entire eastern region. The important prerequisite for Lucheng's current living space to be clean and personal and property safe is the existence of the development zone.
As long as the development zone can continue to siphon off the ghost groups that everyone avoids, Lucheng will not be in chaos, and the Eastern Province and the eastern region will be in a stable buff.
"I understand." Wen Chong smiled slightly and picked up the draft of the life supply center prepared by Tu Lanxun. "I will give you an answer as soon as possible."
Before the two of them finished their conversation, Lu Lianbing suddenly pushed the door open and rushed in: "Director Wen! Kris's trace was found in the Southern Province ten minutes ago!"
