Chapter 33 Sudden Arrival
When Lu Bubu rushed to the hotel private room, Xie Liang's stomach was already growling with hunger.
After Li Dong and his friends introduced themselves to Lu Bubu, everyone started chatting while waiting for their food to be served.
Seeing Lu Bubu coming alone, Xie Liang couldn't help but think of his cousin, and asked casually, "Is your cousin okay?"
"It's okay. He kept complaining about pain after coming out of the dungeon, so he didn't come with us."
Seeing Li Dong and the others looking at him curiously, Lu Bubu couldn't help but ask, "Um, do you have anything to ask me?"
"Brother, if we die in the copy, will we die the same way as in the copy when we return to the real world?" Li Dong asked.
"After the second advent, those who die in the dungeon will also die immediately in reality, usually due to cardiac arrest. However, the situation for newcomers who come for the first time is not fixed. They will have a buffer time of several minutes to more than ten minutes before dying from various accidents."
Li Dong looked at Lu Bubu and exclaimed, "Holy crap! You really do know a lot, big brother!"
Lu Bubu scratched his head and smiled, "This is nothing. You will know everything after going through a few more instances."
At this time, the waiter brought two dishes, steamed osmanthus fish and salt-baked chicken. They were all hungry and did not bother to talk, but began to concentrate on eating the food in front of them.
Dishes were served one after another, and the group ate with great relish. Even Xie Liang, who usually had a small appetite, took a few more bites than usual. Only after they were full did they resume their conversation.
Xu He handed the menu to Xie Liang and asked softly, "Would you like to order anything else?"
"No, there's still a lot of food left. Don't waste it."
Xiao Ha asked Lu Bubu, "I heard you're from the Dark Organization. I'd like to ask, are there many 'old men' in your organization?"
"Not many, just over twenty people, all managed by Long Qingye and the others." Lu Bubu said.
"Long Qingye is the leader of your organization, right? I've seen this name in posts about your organization before." Xiao Ha said.
"Yes! I heard that his family is quite rich, but I don't quite agree with his style of doing things." Lu Bubu said somewhat displeased.
"Brother, what do you mean?" Li Dong asked.
"I don't know what to say. Maybe I just don't like him. He often relies on his seniority to assign various tasks to his subordinates, and of course, the new recruits he guides are also very wealthy. I heard that he bought several pieces of Burning Stone with his money."
"So that's how it is, but we haven't seen the burning stone you mentioned yet," said Li Dong.
"I haven't seen it either," Xiao Ha said.
After chatting for more than an hour, they didn't know what to talk about for a while, and the atmosphere gradually became quiet.
"How about... let's add each other on WeChat?" Lu Bubu raised the phone in his hand and asked Li Dong and the others.
"Then I have to add him!" Li Dong took out his mobile phone and scanned the code to add Lu Bubu first.
After they added each other as friends, Xie Liang added Lu Bubu to the WeChat group. After thinking about it, he also added Shi Xiaoyin. After all, Lu Bubu and Shi Xiaoyin knew each other.
Lu Bubu told everyone that he wanted to play in Linjing City for a few days. After hearing this, Li Dong and Xiao Ha enthusiastically expressed that they also wanted to go with him. They also asked Xu He and Xie Liang if they wanted to join them.
Seeing that Xu He didn't want to join them, Xie Liang declined their invitation. After all, he and Xu He had a pact, and if he went with Lu Bubu and the others, the pact would become invalid if they exceeded a certain distance.
The meal lasted until the hotel closed.
During those days, every time Lu Bubu and his friends went to a fun place, they would take photos and send them to the group created by Xie Liang, which made Shi Xiaoyin extremely envious. She cursed Lu Bubu for being a beast and not inviting her to go out and play with him.
Seeing that the baby had not come again during this period of time, Xie Liang took a taxi to his uncle's house in the town early in the morning.
His aunt and cousin were overjoyed to see him back, and they quickly killed a few geese and busied themselves in the kitchen. Xie Liang sat on a stool at the kitchen door, chatting with them as they worked.
"Your uncle is so happy. You haven't been back for such a long time and he misses you very much! Come home more often when you have time. Your aunt will make delicious food for you!" said Aunt Liu Xiuxiu.
"That's right, you don't even know to go home and visit. Don't you know that people miss you?" His cousin Fan Lingling turned her head and made a face at him.
Xie Liang looked at her coquettish appearance, and suddenly remembered the way Li Ruohan acted coquettishly towards Lu Bubu, so he smiled and said: "Then I will come back to see you often in the future, but you have to study hard."
"Wow, really? It's a deal then." Fan Lingling said with a happy smile.
"Okay, it's settled." Xie Liang chuckled.
"Mom, did you hear that? My cousin said he would come back more often." Fan Lingling bumped her mother Liu Xiuxiu with her shoulder, and the fish in her hand accidentally fell to the ground.
"I heard it, girl, you are so reckless. Go and chat with your cousin. Mom is here." Liu Xiuxiu said with a smile.
Xie Liang's cousin is only in the third year of junior high school this year and is more than ten years younger than Xie Liang. He and his cousin talked a lot about their childhood and the interesting people they met at work before.
After dinner, he stayed until after one in the afternoon. Before leaving, his uncle's family urged him to stay a few more days, but Xie Liang declined on the grounds of finding a job.
His aunt Liu Xiuxiu packed up a few slaughtered geese and forced them into his hands, asking him to take them back to the city and eat them slowly. His uncle and his family stayed by the roadside, watching Xie Liang's taxi drive away before heading back.
"Mom, my cousin seems to have become much more cheerful after coming back this time. He talked to me about a lot of interesting things." Fan Lingling said, holding her mother's hand.
"That's good. I was afraid that this child would become more and more withdrawn. In the future, you should chat with him more often and call him back more often. If he can't find a job, don't look for one. Tell him that we will support him." Liu Xiuxiu touched her daughter's head and said.
"Mom, there's no way my cousin will let you raise him." Fan Lingling said with a smile.
After Xie Liang got in the car, he took out his cell phone and sent a WeChat message to his cousin.
Xie Liang: Lingling, my cousin put two thousand yuan under the sofa. You can take it out and give it to your aunt as household expenses.
Lingling: Cousin, you’re doing this again. My mother will be unhappy if she finds out. She’ll definitely beat me to death.
Xie Liang didn't reply. He dozed off for a while in the car. The car was driving very unsteadily. There were too many gravels on the road, and it was a bit bumpy. Xie Liang was shaken so much that he almost vomited.
When the car drove to the open space in front of the villa, he saw Xu He leaning against the gate pavilion of the villa.
After he got out of the car with his things, Xu He saw him and walked over naturally, took the things in his hands, and led him to the villa.
More than ten days passed, and Xie Liang and Xu He still did not come again. Life seemed to be back on track.
Xie Liang began to miss his own bed, so he told Xu He that he wanted to go back to live there. Although Xu He said that it would be better for them not to separate, Xie Liang still insisted on returning to his home.
Xu He was worried that he would suddenly enter the dungeon, so he bought the suite upstairs that had been vacant.
After Xie Liang learned about this, he was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He admired Xu He's generosity for buying a house without any hesitation.
After that, Xu He often brought vegetables to Xie Liang's house to cook. The two of them also often went to the city stadium to play badminton, swim, or go hiking in the suburbs. Sometimes Xie Liang would call Xiao Ha and Li Dong, who lived nearby, to join him in the group chat.
Just when Xie Liang was about to forget about the Whirlpool Gate, he appeared again.
That night, Xie Liang was taking a shower when the familiar feeling of dizziness suddenly came over him again. He had just managed to put on his clothes when his eyes went dark and he passed out.
Unfortunately, Xu He was not upstairs that day, and the contract between the two became invalid because they were too far apart.
When Xie Liang opened his eyes again, he was lying on the ground in his temporary residence. After getting up, the first thing that caught his eye was a series of oil paintings on the ground, which were full of mysterious religious atmosphere.
Xie Liang subconsciously walked into the crowd to look for him. After searching back and forth, he found that there was no sign of Xu He on the ground.
There were only thirteen people staying there this time, and there seemed to be no newcomers. Everyone was surprisingly calm, and there was no crying or making any noise.
The crowd was led by a man wearing a gray long-sleeved sweatshirt and black trousers.
Xie Liang couldn't help but look at the man. He saw that the man had slightly pale lips, a high nose bridge, and eyebrows as sharp as knives. He exuded an evil and unruly aura.
He only glanced at the man once or twice before looking back at the vortex gate. Suddenly, Xie Liang realized that the prompt on the wind wall next to the door was gone! He walked around the wind wall of the temporary stay anxiously, but still didn't find any prompts.
"Idiot! What are you looking for? There won't be any hints if the dungeon is difficult!" A man's voice in the crowd shouted at him.
At this time, the man in the gray long-sleeved sweatshirt walked towards Xie Liang. He stared at Xie Liang's face for a long time and chuckled: "This is the first time I've seen a man who looks better than me."
Hearing his unexpected words, Xie Liang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
The man looked at him for a long time, then suddenly said, "My name is Long Qingye."
Oh, so he is the famous leader of the dark organization - Long Qingye. Xie Liang nodded at him and said politely: "Well, my name is Xie Liang."
A sexy woman in a red dress with a curvy figure walked towards Long Qingye in the crowd, "Brother Ye, the door is open."
Long Qingye nodded and said, "Let's go." Then the two of them walked towards the vortex gate together.
Xie Liang didn't stay for long and followed them into the door.
