Bai Yu's Diary:
The first day Chu Zehuai left, I missed his blood.
The day after Chu Zehuai left, I missed his blood.
On the third day after Chu Zehuai left, I missed his blood.
......
A week after Chu Zehuai left, I began to miss him.
It was obvious that the other party had often gone on business trips to other cities before and had not returned for a long time. This time it was just that the business trip lasted longer and was to a farther place.
Why does he have such strange emotions?
Bai Yu was watering the roses on the table. Through the emerald green leaves, he could just see the empty space opposite.
Chu Zehuai's departure is not good news.
...
...
After he returned to the rental house, Tang Lei, who had not been home for a long time, finally came back and brought another not-so-good news.
Tang Lei is going to cancel the lease.
"Why did you suddenly... Did you change jobs?"
Bai Yu thought back to what he had seen on the Internet. Workers who have entered society will continue to migrate depending on where they work.
"No, I quit my previous job. The experiences I've had these days have made me think clearly about many things. I want to pursue the true meaning of my life."
Tang Lei changed his previous decadent middle-aged office worker appearance and spoke excitedly. When he talked about the "truth", there was an unconcealable enthusiasm in his eyes, as if he had some mental problems.
He is totally different from before.
Can a person really change so much in a short period of time?
Bai Yu's nose twitched.
No fragrance.
He was very confident in his ability to determine contamination. The absence of fragrance meant that the other party had not become a deformed person.
Perhaps people can really go from being listless to extremely excited in a short period of time.
Bai Yu sighed, perhaps this is what the book says about the complexity and variability of human beings.
I still have a long way to go in understanding human beings.
While watering the green ivy in the house, he listened to Tang Lei and the landlord discussing matters related to the deposit.
The quality of the rental house is not that good. The sound insulation of the door cannot be said to be completely non-existent, but it is almost the same.
Even if Bai Yu didn't want to listen, the sound of the conversation still clearly filled every corner of the rental house.
"I figured it out. Is it true that people live in this world to trade their lives for money in the first half of their lives, and to trade money for lives in the second half? I have been suffering since I was in school, and have been suffering for decades. Is it just to fill the second half of my life with mortgages and car loans?"
Tang Lei's excited voice echoed in the house.
"Calm down first..."
Facing such an excited Tang Lei for the first time, the landlord's voice became weak.
"I am calm and sober now. I know what I am doing. I have found the most important thing in my life. I have found my muse and my true hobby—"
"Okay, okay, I've already refunded your deposit. Bye!"
The landlord hung up the phone without a second thought. There was no tenant dispute as Bai Yu had seen in many posts online. He returned the deposit faster than other landlords, and he didn't even come to check the rental house.
Bai Yu was thinking, if he had to move out one day and a dispute arose, would he also behave like he was mentally unstable?
[System, find me some books on crazy literature. I want to start learning how to disguise myself as a mentally ill person.]
[I don't think it's necessary. As long as you don't pretend to be a human being and act according to your own nature, you are already very much like a mental patient. If you really get involved in disputes between humans, you can perform a dark crawling for him, just like you did in the house two days ago.]
Bai Yu: ......
Faced with the system's ruthless complaints, Bai Yu didn't know how to refute for a moment.
Crawling around is a hobby of vines, where is the shade?
The system will not understand this kind of happiness.
While they were talking, Tang Lei made another call and his tone changed rapidly, even from excitement to flattery.
"Master Ji, I have already taken care of my affairs and can come over anytime."
"Okay, and, my little dog, what are you going to call me?"
A lazy and charming voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Yes, Master, your puppy will be here soon."
Just a few short words opened the eyes of Bai Yu, who was watering the flowers outside.
No, this is what Tang Lei meant by pursuing the true meaning of life?
There are all kinds of things in the world. It is not impossible that my roommate has such an explosive hobby, and it has nothing to do with Bai Yu.
Bai Yu is not a human being. After being shocked for a moment, he focused his attention on another more important matter.
[System, do you think that woman's voice sounds familiar? ]
[Hiss——Now that you mention it, it really is, a bit like that person.]
【Rose】
[Yes, that’s right, it’s that rose. She’s here too? ]
The system's voice sounds somewhat happy.
In an almost completely unfamiliar world, meeting each other is a great fate, as we are both of the same kind and former colleagues with whom we have a good relationship.
Bai Yu was much calmer than the system.
[She is just a former colleague. After the main god space disappeared, we haven't had any special relationship recently. As long as it doesn't involve me, it doesn't matter what she wants to do. ]
He had never known that roses had such a habit.
Compared to the trivial matter of a former colleague who suddenly appeared and played a letter game with humans, Bai Yu was more concerned about his rent problem.
After Tang Lei moved out, he faced four choices.
Either find someone who is compatible with you to share the rent with, or choose to rent a smaller house, or choose someone to pay all the rent.
Or maybe save up some money to buy a new small house.
Bai Yu was watering the plants and thought for a long time before finally choosing the last option.
Although it costs more money, you can climb walls in all rooms with one plant, and practice your newly recovered skills at will without worrying about damaging the landlord's furniture.
I just don't know if the salary from becoming a regular employee can support a three-bedroom house in the center of Qinghe City.
Bai Yu took some time to open his phone, intending to earn some overtime pay.
In the Investigation Bureau, not all tasks are directly assigned to the team. Some tasks that need to be done but are not very urgent will be posted in the work group and anyone who is willing can take them up. This is considered a way to earn extra money allowed by the Investigation Bureau.
The last time he helped Team 8 transport contaminated fish, he took the mission from here.
Bai Yu flipped through his phone skillfully and soon found a new task.
The food storage capacity of a marginal county in Qinghe City is not sufficient, so a batch of food needs to be sent from the city center. The marginal county has a small population, so the amount of food that needs to be transported is not huge, and the time is not very urgent, and it can be completed within three days.
That's it.
Bai Yu happily chose to confirm. While putting away his phone, he also put away the kettle used to water the green ivy.
I found that I was so engrossed in looking at my phone that I watered the plants much more than I had initially expected.
Bai Yu touched his chin. He had no interest in watering his own kind. Even the ordinary rose pot plant he had conjured up was watered by Chu Zehuai.
His return time was irregular, so it was impossible for him to water the green ivy at a stable frequency.
Bai Yu stared at Green Radish for a while.
Forget it, I'll just give it to Yanran and lie to her that it's the potted plant she killed that came back to life, and it'll be a good chance to improve her favorability.
Anyway, humans can't tell the difference between potted plants of the same variety.
It was happily decided.
**

Bai Yu originally planned to transport the food alone, but when he opened the evil navigation, Lin Mo, who knew the situation, strongly persuaded him to find a partner.
You don't have to be an awakened person, you can be an ordinary person, but you must be familiar with the winding roads in Qinghe City.
"In some matters, the awakened ones may not be better than ordinary people. Moreover, Qinghe City has a long history and complicated roads, and it is easy to get lost." These are Lin Mo's original words.
Bai Yu recalled the experience when he wanted to navigate to Qinghe, but was led to a rotten ditch by the unethical navigation. He nodded and tried to find someone to go to that marginal county with him.
There was a boy younger than him who couldn't live in the city due to financial reasons, so he simply hitchhiked back to his hometown and became familiar with the roads between Qinghe City.
Very cute, with a baby face, a sunny smile, and chattering non-stop.
It's just a little fragrant.
Do ordinary people smell this good?
Bai Yu was a little confused, his tongue tip pressed against the tips of his teeth, his expression unchanged.
After experiencing the fragrance emitted by the full-blooded Chu Zehuai, he felt that his ability to resist temptation was getting stronger and stronger.
"I saw you on TV and I liked you very much at that time. I didn't expect to see you in person after coming to the Investigation Bureau!"
The boy's eyes flickered, and Bai Yu's appearance was reflected in his dark pupils.
"I thought most people would like Team Chu."
Bai Yu tucked the loose hair on his forehead behind his ears and, in accordance with human etiquette, smiled back at the other person.
"Actually, I feel like Captain Chu is a bit fierce."
The other party shrugged, as if recalling something.
Bai Yu blinked. Is Chu Zehuai very fierce?
"I feel fine, mainly because of the publicity."
In the videos released by the Investigation Bureau, every scene where Chu Zehuai appears is either killing this person or that person, and there is not a single video that is not violent.
What's more, in order to promote the Qinghe City Investigation Bureau, Director Chu also specifically emphasized that the action of killing pollutant distorters must be decisive and quick, firm and ruthless, so as to reduce the panic of the masses and enhance their confidence in the Investigation Bureau.
"Anyway, if I stood in front of him, I wouldn't dare to say a word."
The other shook his head.
"You are my favorite, followed by Captain Li. Mainly because I think he is very charming."
Bai Yu recalled the lawsuit.
The man did not continue to look for Chu Zehuai while he was away, mainly because there were many new awakeners in the Investigation Bureau, some of whom were quite good-looking.
Li Song's criteria for judging people is mainly based on their appearance, otherwise he would not come to poach girls when they are not familiar with each other yet.
The two sat in the truck, chatting as they headed toward Edge County.
The marginal county was indeed some distance away from the city center, and as the sky gradually darkened, they had only traveled halfway.
"You know what? The mushrooms grown in our county were dug up. I thought they were really fragrant and delicious, but the investigation bureau said it was a spore contaminant that could float into the air. The mushroom fields disappeared overnight."
Bai Yu paused as he was holding the steering wheel.
The Qinghe City Investigation Bureau did eradicate a lot of strange mushrooms, but in order not to cause panic, the reason given to the outside world has always been that mushrooms have hidden toxicity, and it has never said that mushrooms can emit pollutant spores.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the other person’s shadow begin to change.
"The mushrooms smelled really good, but I couldn't eat them. What a shame."
The boy said with a wronged tone, but at some point his voice changed, and his tone gradually became eerie and strange, stretching out his voice in the narrow driving seat.
"Brother Bai, you smell so good. I'm a student. Can you let me eat you for free?"
Bai Yu turned his head and saw that the young face was cracked in the middle. A sticky white unknown creature slowly crawled out from the crack. The narrow cab also overflowed with sticky white stuff, sealing the glass and door handles.
He looked at this scene and breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, fortunately, such a fragrant boy is not a human, then he will not be polite.
"Brother Bai, you smell so good. I really like your body."
The white tentacles had already climbed up Bai Yu's body, and an obsessed voice came from nowhere.
Seeing that it was crawling out too slowly, Bai Yu simply helped it speed up and get out of the human shell.
The unknown creature was stunned by this unusual follow-up.
"Thank you for liking it."
Bai Yu responded in a normal human way, first showing the other person a polite and kind smile, then he opened his mouth slightly, his fangs flashing a cold light under the light inside the car.
"I like you too, because... you smell nice too O(∩_∩)O~~"
