Chapter 48: Sinner Extra 2
"Danger!" Mei Tai retracted his foot.
He jumped up to the second floor, passed Yan Nan, and appeared in front of the owner of the head. He raised his right hand high, and then swung it down heavily, pressing the head to the ground.
There was a loud bang, and Yan Nan watched as the wind wave passed and spider-web-like cracks appeared on the floor.
The health bar of the fragile little protagonist he had just rescued began to drop again.
Lin Ye was also stunned for a moment. He stared at the two of them, his mouth opening and closing uncontrollably as he spoke: "No, you can't do this here... unless you are willing to replace the laboratory with a new set of genetic analysis and analysis equipment, along with a piece of real-time data collection, and the new stuff from the black market in the Eastern Base."
What he said was so painful that even Mei Tai showed a look of toothache. He withdrew his hand from the head and naturally lifted up the fainted little protagonist by the back of the collar.
He shook the boy in his hand, "Is that him? You hid a child from me?"
"No, to be precise, this is my and Teacher Yan's private space. It's reasonable to let anyone stay here. It's completely wrong to say this behind your back."
"Okay, okay, you're not doing this behind my back." Mei Tai seemed to find it hard to tolerate Lin Ye's rigid manner, so he had no intention of continuing the argument. "No matter what you say, I'll take this child back with me. Teacher Yan, do you have any objections?"
After saying this, he looked seriously at Yan Nan, who had been silent the whole time.
Lin Ye frowned, and Ye turned his head and looked at him.
Seeing both of their gazes focused on him, Yan Nan was stunned for a moment.
Huh? Me?
It dawned on him, and he remembered that he had entered the real mission world, not the experience world that the system had created for him to adapt, the kind of RPG where he could start over if he failed.
So what should he say now?
——
Silence spreads in the air like a virus.
After a long while, Mei Tai suddenly seemed to remember something. He slapped his head and asked, "Did you forget your external speaker somewhere again?"
His words reminded Lin Ye, and the assistant lowered his gaze on him. As expected, Yan Nan's throat, which was tightly wrapped by the collar of his shirt, was empty. He took out another spare thing from his pocket, which was a very small black square.
Instead of passing the thing over, he directly clipped it on Yan Nan's shirt collar, which was close to his throat.
[Anyway,] the system seemed to be dissatisfied with his performance and spoke in his mind in a sinister tone, [We can't let him take this child back. After all, even if you fast-forwarded the simulation, you should know how important the protagonist of the world is to our mission.]
After all this time, I turned out to be mute. Yan Nan followed the assistant's movements and touched his throat, where he felt an obvious scar.
Well, let me try to see how this thing works. For example -
"Don't take Fubao away!"
A cold yet familiar electronic male voice came from Yan Nan.
All of a sudden, the entire system was shocked by his words.
[Personality damage value +50%.] Warning pop-ups instantly filled the system operating space.
[nonononoooo! ! !] Then the noise of system crashing rang in his mind. [What nonsense are you talking about? I told you this is not an RPG world.]
"Ah, yes, Teacher Yan doesn't let you take Fubao away." Lin Ye responded quickly and continued his words. Although he said so, the corners of his mouth were harder to suppress than AK at this time.
"So you are sure this child is called Fubao?" Mei Tai's suspicious eyes moved between Yan Nan and the child.
Please don't dwell on whether this is a Fubao issue, okay?
Yan Nan closed his eyes. He didn't mean to say what was in his heart.
"No matter what you say, this child is now mine because he is here, and you are not allowed to meddle with my things in my house."
[Character damage value -40%. ]
"Well... okay, since you said so, I won't investigate his background." Having said that, Mei Tai let go of his hand, and the unconscious child fell to the ground again.
Several people stared at the child he had let go.
The health bar that had just been creeping up a little bit began to decline again...
——
On the next day, when Yan Nan had already started looking through the original owner's experimental records, a message from the robot butler popped up on his watch.
[Good morning, dear master. The patient in the guest room on the second floor has now woken up. If it is convenient, I suggest you go visit him first.]
He closed the interface, sat there and thought for a while, and finally got up and left.
The constant temperature room is also on the second floor, with Yan Nan’s bedroom on the left and right.
Through the observation window at the door, he saw the boy who had been washed and properly placed by Lin Ye. He stood by the window with the curtain half-open, his face pale, the wound on his forehead from the friction with the floor had been bandaged, and he stared blankly at the window frame with a dazed look.
Yan Nan knocked on the door.
The moment he heard the sound, the young man on the bed turned his head abruptly and looked towards the door. When Yan Nan opened the door, a gust of wind blew in, and the pure white curtains flew up and down, blowing the young man's hair up. He widened his eyes slightly in surprise, and his eyes happened to meet Yan Nan's.
The moment he saw the boy, a strange feeling struck Yan Nan. The strange, nameless thing made him confused. He looked at the boy unconsciously and began to think about what exactly had just passed through his mind.
When he came back from his trance, he had completely forgotten the speech he had prepared.
The boy never looked away from her, and the two of them just sat there in silence for five full minutes.
Yan Nan rubbed his right hand behind his back in embarrassment. He had just forgotten at first, but now he was beginning to feel anxious. How could he save you and the protagonist's terrible first meeting?
Fortunately, reinforcements appeared immediately, and Lin Ye arrived in time again with the document in his arms.
He completely ignored Yan Nan who was blocking the door, and walked in skillfully, then asked the boy to sit down beside the bed. Yan Nan slowly moved over and saw him take out an identity registration form for the child to fill out.
"You may not understand the current situation yet." Lin Ye crossed his hands and supported his chin, still speaking in a businesslike tone.
"Yesterday you collapsed at our door with wounds all over your body. Teacher Yan saved you out of humanitarianism, but you still need to pay for the medicine and medical resources you consumed here."
"But now is the end of civilization, and there is no such thing as eliminating child labor, so starting tomorrow, you will stay here and be Mr. Yan's assistant."
Selling oneself to pay off debts? When Lin Ye asked him yesterday how to place the child, he did not mention this at all.
The child was stunned by what he said. Yan Nan looked at him and thought that he probably didn't understand anything. He is only sixteen years old now. When the virus broke out three years ago, he probably had just graduated from elementary school. What's the use of him having an assistant like this?
And the world is about to end, and it actually needs a child like this to save it. The original work is really passionate.
Things over there seemed to have been dealt with. Yan Nan raised his head and happened to see that both of them turned their heads to look at him.
He looked seriously at the frightened child, walked over, held out his hand, and said, "Yan Nan."
The child stared at him blankly, and his face turned red with embarrassment. He gently shook Yan Nan's hand, lowered his head and whispered, "My name is Yuan Qing."
"I remember it." Yan Nan said.
