"It's a little sloppy..." Ji Xun looked down at his interlocking hands with Jing Chi and sighed sincerely.

In fact, when Jing Chi told him that "holding hands and sleeping together, the two of them can enter the dungeon together", Ji Xun didn't believe it.

Even he himself was puzzled as to why he didn't tell Jing Chi to get out immediately after hearing this, but actually tried it.

But what is even more puzzling is that this method, which seems to be unworthy of scrutiny, has succeeded...

Jing Chi just smiled when he heard Ji Xun's words, and then let go of their clasped hands, and took out a booklet from his jacket pocket.

After the two had a "heart-to-heart" talk that day, they were not in a hurry to enter the dungeon again, but set the date to be seven days later.

At the same time, Jing Chi moved into Ji Xun's small broken apartment on the grounds of convenience for communication.

Although Ji Xun was a little speechless about this, he also felt helpless for Jing Chi who was willing to condescend to sleep on the sofa, and even apologised, and took the initiative to add a quilt to the other party.

But this delicate emotion only lasted until the next day and then disappeared.

Waking up early in the morning, Ji Xun found that the other party had replaced the old fabric sofa at home with a leather one overnight. It was so wide and big that it took up half of the living room. It seemed far more comfortable than the not-so-soft bed in the bedroom.

And the culprit didn't have the slightest awareness of playing word games, and even cast an innocent look at Ji Xun.

This led to the near breakdown of the cooperative relationship that the two had just reached. In the end, it was Jing Chi who took the initiative to improve Ji Xun's current living standard, which was considered to appease him.

Although I don't know what mechanism the other selected people use to break through the level, it seems that for Ji Xun, this so-called dream of the gods does not restrict him too much, and it is different from what I learned from Du Pingzhi's population last time. , is mandatory.

This whole fantasy story seemed to not welcome him to join, but he never resisted.While giving him great freedom, he also gave him the power to refuse.

In fact, if it is someone else, it must be as far away from this kind of thing as possible. No one can say whether he is the lucky one or the cannon fodder.

If it was Ji Xun in the past, he should have chosen this way.

However, the reason that prompted Ji Xun to agree to Jing Chi to play this accidentally dead game with him was not only because his precarious physical condition would be relieved after entering the dungeon, but also because Ji Xun began to gradually discover himself. Something is wrong.

After leaving the previous dungeon and returning to a peaceful daily life, Ji Xun became more and more aware that his personality and even his behavior habits had undergone tremendous changes, and some attitudes towards things could even be said to be completely different from before.

It's hard to describe the feeling of being separated from self-cognition. Although it can't be said to be painful, there will always be some confusion.

And his intuition told Ji Xun that since these changes were brought about by this so-called god's dream, he could only find the reason from it.

He feels that he is not a person who likes to ask questions, but this time he completely abandoned reason and acted, just because Ji Xun vaguely felt that this was very important to him.

Anyway, it is excusable for a person who is dying to make some impulsive decisions.

I don't have any relatives or friends, and if something really happened, apart from being sorry for the landlady who will take care of him in the future, there is nothing else to worry about, Ji Xun comforted himself in this way.

However, Jing Chi is different from him...

Ji Xun's eyes turned to Jing Chi who was studying the props.

This person and himself are completely two extremes. Even if the other party explains to himself that this is an obsession he has had since he was a child, it really makes Ji Xun unable to understand.

"Have you seen enough?" Jing Chi's cold voice was mixed with a bit of ridicule, interrupting Ji Xun's slander.

Only then did Ji Xun break away from his own thoughts.

He curled his lips, ignoring Jing Chi's words, but deliberately shifted his focus to the booklet in the other's hand: "Haven't you been studying it for several days, why are you still reading it?"

But Jing Chi raised his eyes and glanced in his direction for a moment, then chuckled and said, "Seeing that you are thinking about other things, I have to find something else to do to pass the time."

Ji Xun: ... What kind of resentful lines are these?

"...Do you feel that this place is different?" Ji Xun looked around the room. This lounge-like place was the same as the rough room last time. This time, it was not only much cleaner, but even smaller It seems to be much bigger.

Jing Chi nodded, stood up, handed the props to Ji Xun naturally, then turned around and walked to the window: "The outside has also changed."

After hearing this, Ji Xun noticed that the crescent moon outside the window last time seemed to be much more abundant this time, and he didn't know if it had any necessary connection with the customs clearance dungeon.

The two waited in the lounge for a while, but they didn't wait for the knock on the door to urge them to hide and seek. They guessed that the situation might have changed this time, so they opened the door and walked out without wasting any more time.

It was still the same dark corridor, but the difference was that when they left the corridor following a white light that flashed in front of them, they realized that the place where the two of them were standing was not a wide square, let alone a winding alley.

It was a tiny toilet cubicle.

Ji Xun: "I am saying that this broken copy is sloppy, do you still have any objections?"

Jing Chi patted a few times and inadvertently rubbed against the wall's shoulder, then shook his head, looking a little helpless: "Let's go out first."

The two of them pushed open the door, and before they had time to observe the surrounding situation, they heard a few muffled groans from the compartment next to them, as if they were holding back something, but due to the blocking of the baffle, they couldn't tell it was someone What kind of emotion, but because the bathroom is too quiet, it stands out.

Standing one step away from this door, Ji Xun hesitated whether to approach it.After all, they don't know what the mission is this time.

Except for the [NO.13 Abandoned Platform Prompt] he heard before waking up, and the props rewarded in the last dungeon, he has not seen any directional information yet.

Just as he was about to take a step forward to open the door to see what happened, Jing Chi grabbed him.

Ji Xun was a little puzzled at first, but when he saw Jing Chi's playful face, but deliberately made a look of hesitating to show him, he suddenly understood what was probably in the cubicle without a teacher. Condition.

"...Don't care about them?" Ji Xun felt a little shy for a moment. In fact, he didn't understand why he thought of the right direction all of a sudden, but it was obvious that this sentence was blurted out without thinking to ease the embarrassing atmosphere.

Jing Chi raised his eyebrows slightly, turned his upper body to Ji Xun's direction, and asked in a low voice, "What do you want to do?"

Ji Xun: ...

Fortunately, Ji Xun didn't need to answer the other party's question, but what happened suddenly afterwards was not much better.

As soon as Jing Chi finished speaking, the alarm system installed above the toilet mirror rang suddenly, and the purple-red light instantly filled the entire room. With the flickering of light spots, the indifferent female electronic voice repeated over and over again. same sentence.

[It has been detected that you have entered the rest state for more than 10 minutes during working hours, which is a serious violation. The Security Section has been notified, please wait here, and do not try to make unnecessary resistance. ]

"Fuck!" Ji Xun cursed secretly, grabbing Jing Chi's wrist and running outside before the security guards who had said on the radio arrived.

Although I have roughly understood the world background here before, I never expected it to be so strict.

After the last copy was passed, Ji Xun had forgotten Song Pei's last sentence about reward distribution. If Jing Chi hadn't reminded him, he would have never noticed that there was an extra booklet beside his bed.

This thing is similar to the banknotes that Bai Luoluo took out earlier. It seemed useless at the time, but it is very likely that it will help the mission in the dungeon.

It's just that Ji Xun's prop should not be functional, it's more like a travel brochure.

It describes in detail the basic situation of this city - Mirage.

Mirage's technology and economy are highly developed. Everyone from birth to 14 years old has to conduct a comprehensive comprehensive assessment every year. After the last result comes out, they will be assigned to different training centers according to their results.

Then they will also take on different social responsibilities when they are adults. Twelve hours a day are working hours and they are open all year round.

The residents here don't seem to have any desires in their lives, everything is arranged by the system, from career choice to marriage choice, and even when to give birth to a newborn, all must be under the strict supervision of the upper echelon of society.

But on the contrary, the tourism industry in Mirage is booming, just because outsiders can customize their own itinerary through an intermediary. As long as the money is prepared enough, no matter what type of planning can be perfectly reproduced during the tour .

It's not that the residents here are so hospitable, it's just that actors who help these travelers complete their dream trips are a common occupation in the city.

The crowd singing recklessly on the street, the homeless man with frostbite under the overpass, the prodigal son who squanders money in the casino, and even the occasional thug blocking the road in the dark alley are just one of the occupations assigned by the system according to the comprehensive assessment of individuals. rather than voluntarily.

The frown and smile of every "ant" in this city is planned. It looks prosperous and lively, but inside it is dead silent.

There is no government in Mirage City, the so-called system is jointly developed by several top technology companies, and the Church is the one that really controls the lifeline of the city.

Every resident will be marked with something similar to an ideological stamp from birth. They take the words expressed by the church as their code of conduct and believe in the existence of God. They strictly restrict their behavior according to system standards is also out of faith. In their minds, this is the only way for mortals to approach God.

Not only that, Ji Xun also noticed a point of attention emphasized in the pamphlet: Mirage City will be closed at midnight on February 13 every 2 years.

Outsiders can't get in, and people inside can't get out, although no residents of Mirage City have ever left here.

The city's management system will gradually clear out the foreign population one day in advance, and no intermediary will accept reservations from foreign tourists on this day until a new day arrives 24 hours later.

No one knows what happened in the city, because after each end, from the outside world, everything is still the same as before.

Others only know that the residents of Mirage City call this day——God's Descending Day.

"Have they left?" Ji Xun, who was squeezed between the billboards at the station with Jing Chi, asked in a low voice.

Jing Chi poked his head out slightly to observe the surrounding situation.

The noisy crowd was bustling, everyone was in a hurry, but it didn't seem like they were rushing to go somewhere, more just walking back and forth in the station, as if they were executing some kind of procedure.

And they all had similar smiles on their faces.

Probably because he didn't see the security team that was chasing the two of them, Jing Chi waved to Ji Xun and walked out first.

Ji Xun followed closely behind and walked out from the cover of the billboard. After a brief movement of his body that was stiff from holding a posture for a long time, he immediately returned to his normal appearance.

Because of such inadvertent small movements, it will always be particularly eye-catching in the current environment where everyone acts like a machine. Ji Xun is afraid that there will be extra problems, and before he has time to relax, he tenses up again in an instant.

From the corner of Ji Xun's eyes, he glanced at Jing Chi beside him, and saw that the other party still had the familiar calm and breezy temperament around him, and the polite arc of the corner of his mouth looked comfortable when there was no comparison, but now With the background of urban residents, it seems to be particularly gregarious with them.

Saying that Jing Chi is actually an aboriginal here, no one would think there is a problem, Ji Xun thought secretly.

"Go to platform NO.13." Jing Chitie whispered in Ji Xun's ear.

After getting along with each other for this period of time, Ji Xun is no longer at a loss as he was at the beginning when faced with the inappropriate behavior of Jing Chi, a "self-acquainted" from time to time. Rather than saying that he is used to it, it is better to say that he is forced to accept up.

After all, he recognized that Jing Chi was the kind of person who apologized sincerely, but refused to change.

Even if he scratched his lips, it might not have any effect, so he just let him go.

Ji Xun pushed Jing Chi's shoulder twice with two fingers, signaling the other party to stay away from him, and then looked directly at the sign ahead without making eye contact with the other party. He nodded his head lightly twice.

Just like the time of hide and seek, Ji Xun still heard a voice speaking to him before waking up, but he always felt that this time the voice was much more serious than before, as if he was forced to do nothing, the information provided to him Also less.

The abandoned platform NO.13 is really precious, Ji Xun thought to himself.

But at least it pointed out a direction for them. This time, the dungeon site is more than a hundred times larger than the last one. There are also various NPCs, and the background of the world view is obviously larger.

But they are at a loss, don't know the task, and don't know if there is a time limit, so they can only grope a little bit.

There was a team of security guards patrolling next to the ticket gate of the station, and the two of them went there together, the goal was too big.

After a brief exchange, they still decided to let Jing Chi go to buy the tickets, while Ji Xun went back and forth like those around him not far away to reduce the sense of presence and wait for Jing Chi.

Ji Xun walked back and forth while thinking about what to do next. They had too little information now, but based on his own intuition, he vaguely felt that the so-called "God's Descending Sun" should It will be the key to customs clearance.

Just as he was thinking, Ji Xun realized that he had walked in front of the bulletin board in the lobby of the Central Station without knowing when.

And a wanted poster posted on it caught his attention instantly, he stopped immediately, stood in front of the glass display window, and stared at the photo in disbelief.

Suddenly, a gunshot exploded in the distance, and a bullet brushed past Ji Xun's ear and shot straight towards an unknown direction.

Warm blood slowly flowed down his neck, and he hurriedly looked in the direction of possible shooting, but only saw the back of a man leaving.

Before he had time to react, the originally noisy hall fell silent for a moment. All the people seemed to have received some order, and stared at the direction Ji Xun was occupying with fiery eyes. After a few seconds of silence, they all knelt neatly. down.

While kowtowing continuously, he was still muttering some scriptures that Ji Xun could not understand.

Before he could figure out what was going on with the sudden and weird scene in front of him, Jing Chi who came running from the ticket office grabbed his wrist.

Ji Xun turned his head and looked over there, the bloodstains on the ground were shocking, and the other teams of security personnel in the hall seemed to have received instructions, and were also struggling through the crowd from all directions, running towards them.

"There is no platform NO.13 here at all." Ji Xun rarely heard a bit of suspected anxiety in Jing Chi's tone of voice, but at this moment he didn't have the free time to let him feel emotional.

"Run first! This group of people seems to be fucking sick!" Facing the scene in front of him that he couldn't understand at all, Ji Xun cursed, and then ran out after Jing Chi, shaking his head. They didn't dare to turn back to take a look at the situation rashly.

But something happened that he didn't even dare to think about.

Everyone who was kneeling on the ground became more and more frantic after realizing that Ji Xun was moving outward.

Some stood up and chased after them, and some were not able to stand up immediately due to uncoordinated limbs, and crawled forward quickly while maintaining a kneeling posture.

Like bugs flying around street lights at night in summer, but Ji Xun desperately wishes that he is not that light.

The two quickly ran up the street, but the number of people chasing them only increased. They chanted indistinct slogans neatly, which sounded indescribably weird.

Seeing that the situation suddenly went out of control, Ji Xun felt a little broken: "What the hell is this place!"

At this time, in the station, sirens sounded one after another, and the cold mechanical female voice on the radio was still repeatedly broadcasting: [There was a riot at Central Station, a large number of employees left work during working hours, security personnel please clean up immediately. ]

[Repeat, security personnel please clean up immediately]

In the flashing red light, the face on the wanted notice on the bulletin board was clearly reflected.

It was a high-definition, multi-angle stereoscopic photo, and it was not even necessary to distinguish who it was.

That was Jing Chi's face.

And the reason for being wanted is clearly marked with a few large characters in red handwriting—[blasphemy]
