Chapter 77: star-picking, companionship, and confidentiality systems.

Fish are not hard to catch. Xiaochi Chi fished a medium-sized one and turned to Lu Bu and said, "Knife."

A short, sharp knife pops out of the weapon storage on its arm.

Xiaochi Chi took it: "And a longer one."

Lu Bu did as he was told, pulled out a saber, held the blade in his hand, and handed it to Xiaochi Chi.

Xiaochi Chi skillfully used a short knife to cut open the belly of the fish, gutted, scraped off the scales, went to the lake and washed his hands, then skewered the fish with a saber and set it on the fire.

In the last world, Xiaochi Chi bought back half of the stuff in the warehouse, including some daily necessities.

Marinate the fish in white wine for a few minutes, then finely grind the fennel seeds, mix them with salt, cumin and chili pepper, and apply them to the surface of the fish on the fire.

Xiaochi Chi got up and went to the nearby woods to pick up a dozen chestnut-like nuts, and after confirming with 061 that they were not poisonous, he washed them and threw them into the fire.

In a short while, a roasted and cracked ripe chestnut jumped out of the fire, revealing the brown and hot flesh.

Xiaochi Chi enjoyed the wordless time spent collecting firewood and cooking, as did 061.

When he picked up the chestnuts, he finally opened his mouth and kept his voice low, fearing to wake up the tired Zuoshan Ji.

He said, "Mr. Six, it seems like a long time since I've been alone with you."

061 smiled, also followed his example and pressed his voice: "It seems to be."

Xiaochi Chi glanced at it, "Oh, I forgot there's Lu Bu."

Lu Bu was turning the fish on the other side to prevent it from being baked, as if he was interested in the sudden appearance of the sauce.

Xiaochi Chi stared at the throbbing fire and casually asked, "Teacher Six, I forgot, how come you forgot too?"

061 lightly cough: "Do not forget, I used to be a human being too. It's normal to forget things."

Xiaochi Chi said, "I always thought Lu Bu was too smart. Do you think it can hear us?"

061: "...... Do you want to say something to it?"

Xiaochi Chi thought seriously: " Lu Bu , I want to sleep with you."

061: "...... can you say something serious."

Xiaochi Chi: "Very serious. I tell you, machines are more emotional than people. For example, I have used ......"

The next, before the fish was cooked, the good conversation turned into an erotic goods appreciation conference.

061 heard the ears: "You."

Xiaochi Chi clapped his hands: "Yes, this was the tone of voice when Sun Lao grabbed my bag on the set."

For some reason, 061 wasn't too keen on bridging the age gap with Xiaochi Chi, arguing, "I'm still young."

Xiaochi Chi asked him, "How many years have you been in the system?"

061 said not quite clear: "There are always ten or so years."

"When did this happen to you?"

061 said, "It was probably in my teens." I don't remember exactly what the reason was.

Xiaochi Chi is understanding: "It's good to forget."

The fish is cooked. He tore open the slightly charred skin of the fish, white jade like fish steaming with fresh air, he just touched his hand, his fingers were burned by the heat, hot hissing breath.

061 immediately put away all his drifting thoughts and manipulated Lu Bu to take his hand, pulling him to the edge of the lake and dipping his reddened hand in the cool water.

Xiaochi Chi was suddenly a little uncomfortable being held by the wrist like this.

Lu Bu, like Feihong Dong, reminds him of someone in the past who didn't talk so much, but always took care of everything for him quietly.

Xiaochi Chi felt that his brain was going to be bad, and he could see the flowers even when he looked at a machine.

He said, "The fish is going to be battered."

Lu Bu said gently, "...... There is no rush."

Xiaochi Chi did not feel strange.

Except for the second world, where he did not meet anyone similar to Ying Lou, in the first, third and current worlds, he met Ying Lou, or someone who gave him the feeling of Ying Lou.

He remembered that 061 had said in the first world that as the mission world went on, the world line Xiaochi Chi was going to go to would gradually lose its overlap with the original world line, and the harder it would be to meet the living Ying Lou again.

...... So how is it that one can accurately make contact with " Ying Lou" in that world in multiple worlds?

Thinking of this, Xiaochi Chi had a vague answer in mind.

Making sure his hands were not blistered, he sat back down by the fire and used a clean knife to cut the freshly roasted fish while saying:

"Teacher Six, the two hosts you took before, didn't they go back to their original worlds?"

At the mention of these two, 061 sighed slightly, "Hmm."

"All because of what?"

061 says, "Host number nine is a junior high school teacher. He chose to stay in a world where the original host was a college teacher because he fell in love with his student while he was on a mission."

061 added: "Host number ten is an ordinary minor civil servant. He chose to stay in an ancient world where the original host was the emperor. ...... The reason should go without saying."

Xiaochi Chi raised his eyebrows.

Sure enough, as he thought, it was the people or personnel relationships in these particular worlds that gave the original owner a sense of attachment.

...... Then it's not hard to explain Lou's appearance.

Xiaochi Chi asked him, "Did you ever visit them after all the missions were over?"

061 shook his head: "Once we unbind with the host, we can't sense the host's exact location."

In fact, the tenth host is still quite good to find, but since unbinding with him, 061 ran into Xiaochi Chi, once bound, and never separated.

Just those two days apart, he was already scratching his heart out.

But 061 soon noticed that Xiaochi Chi looked at the sky and exhaled a long, calm breath.

Whenever Xiaochi Chi's expression appeared, 061's heart sank uncontrollably.

He had this look when he analyzed the possibility of the original owner living inside his body and when he argued the mind of the main god in choosing the object of his raid.

Slightly disturbed, he inquired, "What's wrong?"

Xiaochi Chi did think of something disturbing.

Question 1, the host is separated from the world by suicide, if they kill the original host's □, then whose body and identity will they use when they go back to the world they want to go to?

Question two, if they kill the soul of the original owner, □ □ is still there, then after they go back, how do junior high school teachers have to serve as university teachers? And how are ordinary civil servants going to be good emperors?

But instead he said, "It's nothing."

He liked the atmosphere this evening.

Only tonight, he did not want to disturb the rare peace and quiet with other things.

He looked up at the sky and propped his hands behind him, "Look, there are stars."

The atmosphere tonight was not bad at all. The melting campfire and the smell of roasted chestnuts turned the night sweet. Xiaochi Chi ate fish with the rest of the white wine while talking to 061 about what had happened to him on the set, while Lu Bu went to patrol the woods so that no wild animal would harm his master.

Talking more and more, Xiaochi Chi and drink a little wine, the wine is hot ears when simply frank their hearts: "You know, six teachers, there are times, I thought you were Feihong Dong ...... thought you were Lou. "

061 was still reveling in the last joke and almost choked on his windpipe when he heard it.

Xiaochi Chi said, "That ...... time was the time when Sifan Lou was looking for someone to beat up Dongge, Changsheng He and I were ready to rush back, you kept stopping me, but when we did rush back, Little Uncle rushed over, you said how could it be such a coincidence. "

"He also found me quickly while eating a cream tart in Canada, as if he knew where I was at all times."

"When Winter Song was still alive, there was no memory at all about Little Uncle, and as a result, when we came, Little Uncle appeared."

061 heard the cold sweat straight out.

Xiaochi Chi's eyes, slightly watery from the wine, blinked, " Feihong Dong, is that you, Mr. Six?"

Before 061 could think of a clear answer, he heard his own voice reply with a firm voice: "No."

He was slightly stunned for a moment, and then he understood.

...... is the masking function of the confidentiality system.

It was a clause in the contract he signed with the Lord God that he could not reveal his false identity to Xiaochi Chi.

But he did not expect the Lord God to count the identity of " Feihong Dong" in the category of secrecy.

Xiaochi Chi paused: "...... isn't it."

He muttered softly, "...... how good it would be."

061 knew he should digress at this point, but he couldn't resist asking, "Then why do you think Feihong Dong is Ying Lou?"

Xiaochi Chi, a little dizzy from the wine, leaned against a nearby tree and muttered, "...... intuition."

061 Crying and laughing.

What kind of reason is that.

He asked, "Then why didn't you say something when you realized something was wrong?"

As far as he can remember, Xiaochi Chi is not the kind of person who keeps everything bottled up.

"I was ...... fooled once before, two and a half years before I was hit by a chandelier." Xiaochi Chi made a "shhh" gesture, and his voice was softened by alcohol, "...... was cheated very badly."

061 knew that he was drunk on his head, and his voice changed to a soft coaxing tone: "You are so smart, who can still cheat you?"

"It's a son of a bitch." Xiaochi Chi said qualitatively.

061 asked, "Did he cheat you out of money?"

Xiaochi Chi lengthened his tone: "He cheated on me emotionally - I didn't tell anyone about it, I was too ashamed."

061 in a good voice: "You also made me quite interested. What did he lie to you about?"

Xiaochi Chi, with his head against a tree, whispered, "There was a man who pretended to be my fan on the Internet and started to private message me every day, but later told me he was Ying Lou and asked me to meet him. I waited for a long time at the appointed place, until 3am, until the restaurant was closed, but he didn't come."

061 is a little distressed: "You believe all this."

"...... Being fooled once is enough." Xiaochi Chi whispered, "I won't lie to myself anymore."

Xiaochi Chi drank good wine from the warehouse, and the wine came and went quickly, and he gradually sobered up as Lu Bu dipped a soft cloth into clean lake water to wipe his face.

He asked, "What time is it?"

Lu Bu replied, "It's ten o'clock at night."

Xiaochi Chi didn't sound too crestfallen as he stretched and was comfortably helped up by Lu Bu: "I didn't expect to be out on the first day."

Every day before 24:00, they have to search the requested items and put them into one of the nearest monitoring points so that they can obtain a new transmitter from the monitoring staff and receive a new task for the next day.

If you do not collect all the items or fail to turn them in to the monitoring point in time, that means you are out.

It was now 22:00, about fifteen kilometers from the nearest monitoring point, and unless he could find a piece of Naaman metal within an hour, it would be impossible to complete the day's mission.

Knowing that he had basically sealed the deal, Xiaochi Chi was at peace with himself: "God doesn't care, I can't help it."

Instead of riding Lu Bu, he walked out of the woods side by side with Lu Bu.

And to the open space, the more the stars see the vastness of the sky, surging diarrhea, like a waterfall.

Walking under the beautiful scenery, Xiaochi Chi can't take his eyes off it.

061 asked him, "Do you like the stars so much?"

Xiaochi Chi hadn't seen such a brilliant sea of galactic light for a long time and took a deep breath: "Hmm."

061 said, "If you want, I'll pick one off for you."

Xiaochi Chi was happy: "Stop it, Mr. Six."

061 says, "The teacher will do his best to meet the student's request."

Hearing the solemnity in 061's tone, Xiaochi Chi's heart thumped for no reason.

061 said gently, "Sorry, I've been parsing since the break just now, it really took some time."

Xiaochi Chi : "What does ...... mean?"

"Our system's ability to move objects in parallel and change their material form while ensuring conservation and equivalence. Just like in the first world, I can parse cups and tea into data ......"

Saying that, 061 also looked to the sky: "According to the information, the nearest asteroid from here is rich in Naaman metal. In about fifteen minutes, a piece of its stardust containing Naaman metal will fall on the desert about three kilometers away from here."

...... It's something Ying Lou can't do, but he can.

Thinking this way, 061 voice contains a smile: "...... This is the star I gave you, thank you for your company tonight."
