Xiaochi Chi is awakened by light.

When he opened his eyes again, a bright moon jumped straight into his eyes.

And the moon is surprisingly low below the eaves.

...... This is the top of a high building, the top is a hollow dome, the four walls are empty, stop four pillars to support, the pattern is similar to the mountain pavilion.

Xiaochi Chi got up, walked to the edge of the pavilion to take a look, eyes dizzy, immediately reached out to hold the pillar. So as to stabilize the body.

This place is more than a thousand feet from the ground, but the four sides are as steep and straight as a cliff.

If Xiaochi Chi is not mistaken, this place is called Ming Yue Lou, which is a special place for Mount Jingxu to imprison criminals.

He touched his side, the sword in the stone was really taken away.

Xiaochi Chi : ...... oh wang.

He returned to the center of the pavilion and sat down cross-legged in a disciplined manner.

Shujue Duan's spiritual power has not yet reached the level of the wind, and no sword blade can be harnessed, jumping down is basically equal to free fall, as for the fall into the meat paste is S-shaped or B-shaped, he does not know.

Xiaochi Chi felt like a salted fish waiting to be dried up as the wind blew through the hall.

At that moment, his right hand moved.

Shujue Duan wrote: "Master is missing."

Xiaochi Chi closed his eyes and said, "Well, he's gone, too."

Shujue Duan silent, some guesses in the heart, but do not know whether to say it out loud.

Xiaochi Chi asked him, "You've been awake?"

Shujue Duan nodded and wrote: "I heard some chatter, they said ......"

Xiaochi Chi's eyes were still closed and his expression was calm: "You say that I have conspired with the viper to kill the master? Is the evidence that the disciples are human witnesses and the Fish Light Pool has physical evidence of snake molting and scales?"

Shujue Duan didn't dare to hide and told the story of Dou Shark Dan.

Although I can not see his face, but just read between the lines to know that he has a guilty conscience.

Xiaochi Chi didn't mind this, and when he learned of it, he just gave a hint: "The situation was such that if you didn't give him the Sailor Dan, you and he would both die. Besides, if anyone had any suspicions, you and Jiming Ye would have been in bad company if you had touched a corner."

Shujue Duan wrote in one stroke, "I was not thinking well. Before I left Fish Light Pool, I should have thought of removing all traces of Brother Ye."

Xiaochi Chi said lightly, "It's okay, I thought of it."

Shujue Duan : "?"

Xiaochi Chi said, "Those snake molts and scales are something I specifically left for Feast Jinhua."

Shujue Duan : "......?"

Xiaochi Chi said, "Ah, when I did this, you were probably tired from sword practice and were sleeping and didn't see it."

Shujue Duan is not Zuoshan Ji, and Xiaochi Chi cannot talk to Shujue Duan all the time, so some information is inevitably miscommunicated.

In his last life, Shujue Duan only used his intelligence in swordplay, but in his new life, his mind was much clearer and he had been intentionally accumulating experience, so he guessed Xiaochi Chi's plan without Xiaochi Chi's explanation.

He did not point it out, but only wrote gently, "...... Mr. Chi, thanks a lot for making you so bothered."

Xiaochi Chi wanted to say, "Don't be polite, you're my mission." But realizing that 061 wasn't here, no one would help him round out the joke, so he naturally changed to the somewhat aloof façade he had when he hadn't met 061: "Don't be polite, you're my mission."

Shujue Duan asked, "Then the master disappeared, also ......"

Xiaochi Chi shook his head.

Yujing Wen suddenly disappeared in the Mo Xie formation, which was indeed beyond Xiaochi Chi's expectation.

Originally, he had already dug a hole for Feast Jinhua and prepared a whole set of buried alive to send a shovel gift package, waiting for Feast Jinhua to get into it.

He did fall for the trick and happily took the scales and molts and went to Chiyunzi's to offer them as a treasure.

Xiaochi Chi privately reckoned that once Feast Jinhua prosecuted him in public, it would be his demise.

If the plan goes well, he can keep this bastard calf in this world for the rest of his life.

These days, feast Jinhua jumping up and down to make the demon, basically all in his grasp.

But how could he have calculated that Feast Jinhua would have the ability to make Yujing Wen disappear?

However, if you think about it differently, it makes sense.

If, if, he's not wrong in his thinking ......

Yujing Wen , is a cat body, blue pupils, pure white.

Boss, it's a black panther, blue pupils, pure black.

Both are cats with echoing body colors and similar habits.

Xiaochi Chi vaguely remembers that in the last world, Xinzhi Gu said he saw a man in Qiuyun Ding's tent.

061 also admitted that the person was himself.

If he can take form in each world, then the people he met earlier and thought were arranged by the Lord God ......

Yu Gan, Tang Gan, who accompanied the whole process in the world of horror, Lu Bu, who claimed to find himself everywhere in the world of mecha, and Feihong Dong in the world of skating ......

Feihong Dong and Tang Gan, in turn, have the exact same craft as Lou.

He remembers that Mr. Six said he was formatted more than two years before he met himself, which happened to be when he mistook Lou for a resurrection and was "tricked.

Originally, all kinds of information intertwined in one place, he did not think about it, but did not dare to think too much too deep, lest to give their hopes, in the end, but just a basket of water is empty.

The clues accumulate and become a tangled mess.

Now, he seems to have found the thread of the mess, and with a single pull, the whole game is broken.

Xiaochi Chi wondered if she would really have such luck.

Does he deserve such good fortune.

Shujue Duan waited for a long time for Xiaochi Chi to respond, so he quietly harnessed his internal qi veins to warm his body.

He wrote on the ground, "Mr. Chi, are you cold, your body keeps shaking."

Xiaochi Chi let out a breath: "I'm okay. Nothing is wrong. ...... Those snake scales and snake molts are specially prepared by me."

Shujue Duan was a little confused by his headless words, "Mr. Chi, I know, you just said it."

Xiaochi Chi propped up his forehead with one hand: "...... Wait a little longer, I'll adjust a little."

Shujue Duan then stopped talking and waited quietly.

After clearing his mind of distractions, Xiaochi Chi began to think again.

Yujing Wen's unexplained disappearance has disrupted his original plan.

It is not certain whether his disappearance was a deliberate manipulation by Feast Jinhua or another reason.

...... But in another dimension, it is not another opportunity.

Xiaochi Chi asks, "What else happened after I passed out? What else do you know?"

Shujue Duan wrote: "The disciples are still searching for Master in Hollow Mountain, and it is said that Master Uncle has also gone there. If we cannot be searched, I am afraid that we will be put on public trial in a few days."

Before Yujing Wen disappeared, he was with Shujue Duan. All the disciples who went to Hollow Mountain to surrender the snake can testify to this.

Before Shujue Duan fell into a coma, he was seen in close contact with a demon and was holding Yujing Wen's bloodstained white robe.

Although the demon hit him and then fled, many people present smelled the viper's scent on him, and when Ren heard the wind return, Chiyunzi only had to take out the snake scales originally given to him by Feast Jinhua and compare them, it was easy to make a judgment that this snake was the other snake, and there was no mistake.

In this way, Shujue Duan could not say where Yujing Wen went, so he had to take this heavenly pot.

And Jiming Ye may not be able to sit still in this matter.

Now the situation in the mountain is not determined, he has a high probability of spying outside, if the results of the public trial, there is no guarantee that he will not go up the mountain to rob the prisoners.

Shujue Duan shared the same concern: "Mr. Chi, let's try to escape."

Xiaochi Chi : "You don't want your reputation?"

Shujue Duan : "I'm afraid that brother Ye is waiting impatiently and came up the mountain to find."

Xiaochi Chi : "He is not a brainless person. Before everything is decided, he rashly went up to the mountain to rob you, is not to fight and ruin your reputation. Even if he wants to rob the prisoner, it will certainly be after the result."

To be a pair of fugitive lovers with Jiming Ye may be no different, or even better, for Shujue Duan.

He died in Mount Jingxu's public opinion in his last life, his feelings for Mount Jingxu may not be as deep, and a shark, living among the crowd, his identity is always awkward and inevitably subject to criticism.

But that makes a big difference to Xiaochi Chi.

Shujue Duan may not want it, but Xiaochi Chi must give it.

To give Shujue Duan more options for her future, she will have to get through this difficult time.

After the idea of escaping from prison was dispelled, Shujue Duan humbly asked for advice, "So, does Mr. Chi have an idea?"

Xiaochi Chi simply said, "Wait."

Shujue Duan : "Until the public trial is over?"

Xiaochi Chi : "No, wait for Yujing Wen to come back."

Shujue Duan : "But the master does not know where to go ......"

Xiaochi Chi : "He'll be back."

Xiaochi Chi is so sure because he remembers what 061 once said to him.

"I trust you. Even without me, you can take care of him in a convincing way."

This means that he probably expected this result.

But he seems to be letting go and even contributing to this result, including taking Feast Jinhua to Yushan Shi, using spiritual power frequently in front of Feast Jinhua, and even violently beating Feast Jinhua the other day ......

Since he trusts himself to handle everything, it is only right that he should return the same trust to him.

That being said, 061 won't really keep him alone.

Because he is that good at worrying.

Xiaochi Chi lay down with his clothes closed, and his heart was strangely quiet.

He certainly wouldn't bet it all on 061.

Even if 061 is not Yujing Wen, even if he can't return, he also has a way to use the previously laid bureau to defend himself, even if he can't completely clear his suspicions, he can also drag the feast Jinhua down with him, muddying the water.

Only, he harbored a secret longing in his heart.

He once wanted to be neighbors with Lou for life, and Lou promised him.

He had also naively thought that Lou was really back to life and would meet him in that restaurant.

...... If it's really you, please don't miss your appointment this time.

......

061, wearing a shock collar, was sent to a prison cell.

He obediently entered the cage and calmly communicated with the two investigators who followed him: "Your employees, using their seer ability, violated the rules, stole the original master's qi value, used it for themselves, killed the original master, and then withdrew, leaving behind only a crumbling world, completely deviating from your original purpose of continuously collecting the world's qi value and maintaining the system's operation. I think that a system with a long-term operation plan should not tolerate such a bad act."

"Okay, okay. These have been argued very well in your reporting materials." The male investigator said gently, "However, you will need to wait here for a moment."

"Your request is that the two systems not exist in the same dimension at the same time." 061 was equally gentle and unassuming, "Recycle your systems as soon as possible and I will be able to go back."

The female investigator sounded much better than before: "This is a big matter, which may lead to the termination of our contract with the host, we need to consider and investigate properly."

061 said courteously, "Then please hurry up, okay. I don't want to stay here too long."

Male Investigator: "All we can say is try. It is part of our job to ensure that our employees are not stigmatized."

"Within a day."

"I'm afraid that's a bit ......" the female investigator said, "Based on your accusation, we'll need to investigate earlier records, and if Host 199 is only a first-time offender, we'll only impose a warning sanction. This process will take about a day or so. By the time the report is written and approved by your superiors, it will take as little as two days or as much as a work week."

"Tired." 061 also does not intend to force, "May I ask, the time here and the time flow in the mission world, what is the ratio?"

The male investigator thought about it: "One to two or so."

In other words, one day here is two days outside.

He did some mental math and bent respectfully to the two investigators in the cell: "Thank you. Please be as quick as you can. By the way, before you two leave, could you pour me a glass of water?"

The two investigators looked at each other.

...... how it seems like this is his home turf.

After the water was poured, the two investigators left, while 061 picked a random spot in the cell and sat down.

From the time he revealed himself, the two investigators were much nicer, his shackles were removed, but the electronic handcuffs were still in place, and the shock collar around his neck was not removed.

He splashed half a glass of water on the floor, made a makeshift mirror, and examined it carefully against the surface.

This collar is specifically made to target the system, the voltage is not small, can be manipulated from a distance, and is a one-piece design, unless there is a controller to unlock, forced to remove, will be subjected to extremely strong electric shock, can cause fainting, but never to death.

061 leaned against the wall, examining the few items he had on him one by one.

A note reminding me to go to 023 to download a movie for Xiaochi Chi, a handkerchief, a peace knot, and nothing else.

He put his things away, raised his eyes to look around and saw another system in the next prison - cage.

He was wearing the same style of overalls as the systems here, but wearing the same collar as himself, hanging his head, holding a deck of homemade cards and playing gold hook fishing with himself.

061 greeted politely across the railing, "Hello."

The system next door looked up with interest.

061 asked, "Playing cards?"

The system's eyes abruptly lit up: "You will?"

061: "It's okay."

The system then gleefully sat over with the cards in hand: "Open open open!"

061 played "Hoe Dae" with him, losing two games and winning one.

The other party is obviously a master of this, smiling and saying, "You're not bad. I play cards well, my colleagues are afraid of losing, they do not play with me."

061 said, "You're playing better."

The other person joyfully accepted the compliment and asked, "Let's change the way you play. You pick this time."

061 chose "Chameleon" and won two games and lost one.

This back-and-forth battle has added to the system's excitement.

He laughed, "Come again and again."

061 said, "Yeah."

Six innings had passed, and the distance between the two men had been invisibly drawn quite close.

The system shuffled while chatting with him, "I heard you talking to the investigator, you're an alien system, huh?"

061 answered truthfully, "Yes."

The other guy smacked his lips: "That's bad. Then you'll probably be locked up here for a long time. Our second boss hates alien systems, and your report will definitely be put back unless it's an urgent document."

061 resigned as if to his fate, said in a warm voice, "Deal the cards. ...... What did you come in for?"

The other party was defiant: "Gathering gambling, repeatedly."

061: "Is that right?"

The other side met a good poker buddy, the self-absorbed temperament was swept away, and simply could not say enough: "Our side is very strict with the system. I suspect that 277 that old boy is causing me."

061 clicked the cards in his hand, "You guys have a grudge, huh?"

"He just can't stand to see me." The other party was indignant, "Once I was confined, he took all the clients with him."

061 "Hmm?" gave a cry of empathy and said, "That's too much. I've been reported before."

The other party instantly drew 061 as a confidant: "Really?"

"Yes, by the host."

The other party smiled badly: "It's a relationship problem, right?"

"What makes you think that?"

"Love creates hatred, the drama is not so play it." The other party eloquently said, "Last time 277 ran into a, scared to flee back to the system space afraid to go back, but also afraid of the other party anxious to report him. I laughed at him twice during the handover, but I didn't expect him to be so vindictive that he dared to report me."

061: "Handover? Is it a duty handover?"

The other side waved his hand: "No, it's the crossover point that leads to each world and goes to the host's side."

061 put down a card: "Well, is it the same place I was escorted in?"

The other person said, "Yeah. We're just that one handoff point."

061 tossed down the cards in his hand, "Win."

The other party took a look at the cards and let out a wow: "You deliberately talk to interfere with my thoughts ah, too bad."

061 smiled lightly, "Okay, then no more."

Unfortunately, the other side is a mouth idle, quiet for less than a moment and then began to bleep blah blah blah.

"Gee, you played really well. I should be sad if you go back early."

061 said, "That depends on your boss."

The other party laughed: "Our boss is extremely lazy, he came back to the office are depending on the mood. Now eighty percent of them are out traveling."

061: "Really? Our boss will always be in the office."

Opponent: "That's very dedicated."

"So who handled my report."

"All the reports on our side are security systems, that is, our second boss is dealing with them directly. Like your case, it should be a certain threat and harm to the host, our boss explained that if there is not a special situation, it is not necessary to care about the external system."

"Security system? We have one there, but the secret level seems to be too low, and it was hacked some time ago."

"Our second boss who manages the security system is very powerful." The other party eyebrows, "very good at playing cards, just too busy with work, no time to play with me. He mahjong, pai gow, everything. Hey, by the way, mahjong you will."

061 didn't bat an eye: "No. Just watched others fight."

The other side generously said, "It's okay, I'll teach you."

061: "No mahjong tiles here?"

The other side pointed to his head: "It's okay, I'll build a room, plus your ID. we play double."

061 looked a little hesitant: "Is that okay? I don't have networking capabilities right now."

"Oh yo." The other party slapped his head, "I forgot to forget, I'll tell you the networking code."
