Chapter 30 The Delusion of the Mind is Within Reach
Chapter 30
Qin Yan never imagined she would go to such lengths for someone.
She retraced the steps of the missions she had previously completed.
But she couldn't find him.
There isn't one anywhere.
A colleague expressed his bewilderment: "Is it really worth it for a string of code?"
They are different.
For her, Fang Jue was no longer an insignificant NPC.
Despite everyone repeatedly emphasizing to her that the code had been deleted.
But she didn't believe it.
That's Fang Jue.
A vulnerability that even the system cannot resolve.
She returned to her personal space.
As soon as she entered the space, she vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
Her intuition was right.
This was the first time she realized her personal space had been violated.
She searched every place carefully.
Until she heard the sound of water coming from the shower.
...Who went to such lengths to sneak into my space and even take a shower?
She didn't care whether disturbing someone's bath was immoral.
After all, you can't expect to be magnanimous when strangers trespass on your territory.
She pushed open the bathroom door.
The door wasn't locked.
Through the foggy glass, she saw a tall, slender man.
It looks familiar.
A lazy male voice rang out: "Ayan, you're back?"
Qin Yan subconsciously clenched her hands.
It was Fang Jue's voice.
But it seems a little different.
"I'll be done washing quickly."
He paused, then raised his voice at the end: "You don't need to be in such a hurry."
Qin Yan didn't even want to say a word and simply closed the door.
Her mind is a bit confused right now.
The person she had been searching for for so long had somehow appeared in her online space without her noticing.
Yes, and I even took a shower quite calmly.
Just as she was lost in thought, the bathroom door opened.
Fang Jue wrapped herself in a bath towel and walked out looking fresh and radiant.
Qin Yan looked away: "Why aren't you wearing any clothes?"
Fang Jue showed no embarrassment and walked straight toward Qin Yan.
"I don't have any clothes, so I'm borrowing your bath towel."
Fang Jue was very close, so close that Qin Yan could smell the familiar scent of shower gel.
Qin Yan turned her head to one side: "I'll get you some clothes."
She turned to leave, but then turned back and reminded him again, "You can't go anywhere."
Fang Jue smiled faintly: "Of course, I will wait for you here."
Qin Yan quickly bought two sets of clothes and came back to find Fang Jue asleep on the sofa.
She slowed her pace.
Qin Yan slowly walked towards Fang Jue.
She only noticed how tired he looked when she got closer.
She turned to go back inside to get him a blanket, but her wrist was grabbed.
"...Don't go."
Qin Yan turned around and saw that Fang Jue's eyes were unfocused.
She patted his hand: "I'm not leaving."
Fang Jue's pupils gradually cleared.
"Let go first."
Fang Jue obediently let go.
Qin Yan threw the clothes at him: "Go inside and put your clothes on."
She looked at the swaying towel behind Fang Jue as she stood up and said, "...Hold the towel tight."
"It's okay, I don't mind."
"I mind."
Qin Yan urged, "Hurry up and change your clothes."
But after waiting for a long time without seeing Fang Jue come out, she thought something had happened and pushed open the bedroom door.
Fang Jue was shirtless, but her pants were still on.
Qin Yan looked slightly embarrassed: "...You're quite slow at getting dressed."
Fang Jue looked understanding: "Yeah, it's my fault for dressing too slowly."
Fang Jue was clearly mocking her.
Qin Yan quickly closed the door to avoid making things worse by explaining further.
Fang Jue came out quickly.
His eyes crinkled with a smile: "Ah Yan seems to know my size quite well."
It has a hidden meaning.
But Qin Yan pretended not to understand.
"Tell me, how did you end up here?"
Fang Jue said casually, "It's nothing, I just miss you a lot."
Qin Yan looked at him calmly.
Fang Jue lowered her eyes: "After you disappeared from my sight, my world began to collapse."
"Later, I went to many places, many, many places where you were."
His expression darkened: "But I know that's not the real you."
It truly lives up to its reputation as an incredibly powerful system vulnerability.
The staff also confidently asserted that it had been completely destroyed.
As a result, this consciousness was simply wandering around.
"Later, I felt my mental state getting worse and worse, and I often fell into a coma. When I woke up from the last coma, I found myself here."
Fang Jue's smile was faint, yet warm: "It's so good, I've finally found you."
*
Fang Jue's situation was too special, so Qin Yan thought it over and decided to report his situation to the bureau.
Everyone here needs an identification number; otherwise, they cannot live.
The bureau immediately set up a special task force to conduct a comprehensive inspection of Fang Jue.
However, after the investigation, they still couldn't find the reason why he could travel between different mission worlds.
They even came from outside the area.
Finally, the leadership carefully decided to have Qin Yan take him through a few mission worlds to observe the situation.
Qin Yan: "?"
No, she's retired.
Fang Jue replied obediently, "I will definitely cooperate."
"Okay, then it's decided."
Wait a minute, isn't anyone going to ask her what she thinks, someone who's worked hard for half her life and finally retired?
The leader patted Fang Jue on the shoulder: "Don't worry, we will make proper arrangements."
*
Qin Yan opened her eyes and found herself lying in bed.
If there's anything different, it's that my back is warm.
Just as she was about to move, the hands around her waist gradually tightened.
“...Ayan.”
Qin Yan suddenly thought of the phrase "proper arrangements".
It was such a well-arranged plan.
A warm laugh came from behind: "Your leader is quite nice."
"...Then go back and thank him properly."
"Yes, that's for sure."
Qin Yan tried to get up, but the hand was like a heavy chain and wouldn't budge.
"Take it away."
Fang Jue simply buried his head in her back, his voice muffled: "Lie down a little longer."
Qin Yan closed her eyes: "Do you know what situation we're in right now?"
"I know."
Fang Jue rubbed his nose against her smooth back: "So I'm being very well-behaved now."
Qin Yan sighed.
She turned over, not missing Fang Jue's slightly bewildered eyes.
Fang Jue's earlobes turned red in an instant.
Qin Yan smiled and said, "So you can be shy too."
Fang Jue's gaze was very honest: "Hmm, I'll improve next time."
"Then why are you still lying there?"
Fang Jue didn't speak, and after a moment turned around to get up.
Qin Yan wrapped her arms around his neck: "Aren't you usually pretty bold?"
When the warm, soft body pressed against him, Fang Jue's breath caught in his throat.
The graceful curves fit him perfectly.
Qin Yan could clearly feel the stiffness in his body.
She found Fang Jue amusing and flipped him over, pinning him beneath her.
"Are you stupid?"
The next instant, Qin Yan was pinned down.
Fang Jue's breathing was a little heavy: "...Ayan, you can still refuse."
His gaze was intense, revealing an undisguised, surging desire.
Qin Yan silenced him with a kiss.

[Ding! Dear Top-Tier Shuttler Ms. Qin Yan, congratulations on your re-employment! You are now awarded the title of Honorary Shuttler. You will now be working with Trainee Shuttler Fang Jue to complete various world missions. The mission difficulty is locked at Easy mode. Thank you for your cooperation. We wish you a successful mission and a pleasant life.]
Qin Yan never imagined that one day she would be rehired.
Fang Jue seemed to have just received the system notification as well, and looked at her: "Difficulty... Hell level, what level is that?"
It seems the system is quite friendly to her, a retired employee who has been rehired.
However, the trainee shuttle immediately went into high-intensity mode, and it's unclear whether it's because she trusts Fang Jue too much or trusts her too much.
“Hell level,” Qin Yan thought for a moment, “it shouldn’t be too difficult for you, right?”
Fang Jue clearly didn't believe it, but she didn't show it: "Well, it's alright then."
"As an informant for a narcotics officer, I slept with a gang leader's woman, got caught by the gang leader and had my leg chopped off, and now I have to beg him to let me go like a dog and continue working for him, and I have to complete the mission according to his instructions, right?"
Qin Yan nodded: "That's right."
Can I refuse?
Qin Yan nodded again: "Okay."
Then she saw Fang Jue's pupils contract instantly.
"The consequence of refusal is that the system will punish you."
She kindly reminded him, "That was just a mild warning."
Fang Jue was silent for a moment: "Our mission lines seem to be a little different."
"Of course, you're a newcomer and I'm a retiree, how can we be the same?"
Fang Jue suddenly lowered her voice: "So you've been doing this kind of mission all along?"
Qin Yan was stunned for a moment and didn't react immediately.
She then hummed in agreement.
"It depends on the system's allocation; it's not always a terrible situation."
Later, as she leveled up, she no longer needed to go to these dilapidated worlds to carry out life-threatening missions.
It's both physically and mentally exhausting, and it can kill you.
"I'll talk to my supervisor and we'll give you a different task."
Fang Jue shook her head: "No need."
"The leader is very good."
Qin Yan looked puzzled.
“You married me here.”
Qin Yan: "..."
That's the tombstone of the woman who married you.
"Whatever makes you happy."
"If I complete enough tasks, I can obtain an identity, right?"
"Um."
"Can I stay with you forever?"
"……Um."
"good."
The two snuggled together on the sofa, and Fang Jue turned around and trapped Qin Yan.
"Then let's complete the mission."
Qin Yan: "...Are there any missions now?"
Fang Jue was certain: "Yes, I need to confirm the fact that I'm having an affair with the gang leader's woman."
"...Haven't you already confirmed it?"
Fang Jue lowered his head and gently bit her earlobe: "Not enough."
His increasingly rapid breaths sprayed onto her earlobes.
It's itchy.
Delicate kisses landed on the earlobes, ears, and neck.
Oh well, let it be.
Qin Yan went to greet her.
The system only issued her one task.
Accompany Fang Jue through every mission world.
She doesn't need to do anything; the system will automatically update the storyline of the identity she's given.
Her retirement came in a different form.
Well, being with Fang Jue seems much more interesting than living alone.
Seemingly sensing Qin Yan's absent-mindedness, Fang Jue gently bit her shoulder.
"Auntie, concentrate."
Qin Yan retorted.
Why call me "Auntie" at a time like this?
A deep laugh came from above, "Ayan, I'm so happy."
He was overjoyed; she was no longer just a figment of his imagination.
Rather, it is his accessibility.
