Those years when I was taken away by the boss

"For now and tomorrow, our supplies are relatively short." Zhong Ruji lowered his eyes and hooked Gou Shushi's ring finger, "It's not a loss to make a deal."

The items in the supply bag are for one person, and it is a little bit reluctant for two people.

Shu Shi watched his movements, and after two seconds of silence, he said: "Okay, it's not a loss..."

In the next second, someone opened the bronze door on the left, and Good Temper brought a black bag of supplies to them, and asked politely, "Can I make a deal with you?"

The place covered by the left side of his clothes was slightly raised, and he didn't know what was inside.

Shu Shi felt that his ring finger was touched again, so his smile became more harmless and kind.

Zhong Ruji was carrying a bag, and Shu Shi was holding a bottle of water. The two wandered around in each room, almost recognizing everyone.

But in any room with NPCs, there will be at least one person guarding it, and the two of them will know the size of this group of wolves after walking through it.

"I thought I could stay longer, but I've been doing it for a long time like a robber..." Shu Shi found a temporarily vacant room to rest.

Many people ran to guard the NPC, and there were still some empty rooms, but the numbers didn't match.

There was a fight in the room not far away, and the two had no intention of participating in the battle, so they avoided it from a distance.

"Can't you get used to it?" Zhong Ruji said.

Shu Shi said, "That's not true, it's just that sometimes I'm not careful."

He pondered for a while, then said slowly: "Why do they treat intermediate and advanced people so differently? Do these people specialize in sniping advanced ones?"

The taskers in the intermediate level are also for themselves, but they don't attack their own people much. Only the high-level ones are very different, and cheating their own people has become the norm.

"Intermediate levels can fight ghosts, but advanced levels can't. Only by following the game can we survive." Zhong Ruji answered his question, "There are indeed people who sniped advanced levels, but only a few."

After he finished speaking, he added: "Except for District One."

Shu Shi pinched his cuffs, although there was no wind, he still liked to wrap himself up a little tighter, just like he likes to wrap himself in a quilt at home.

He picked up a topic to continue, and said, "Intermediate ghosts rarely make such difficult rules."

It is said that ghosts of different classes have different IQs, but now he feels that it is not the differences in IQs, but the differences in conscience and human nature.

Low-level ghosts still have human nature, mid-level ghosts still have bonds, and high-level ghosts are alone, so they cannot be affected by any factors. In their lives, killing is the norm, and human life is the battle.

"What is the purpose of this world mechanism arrangement? Is it a reward or a punishment?" Shu Shi propped up the bed and moved back, rubbing his hands through his sleeves.

"Reward." Zhong Ruji warmed the back of his hand, "After all, they died once."

After completing a hundred missions, you can leave the mission area and regain a new life. This is indeed a reward for those who have died once.

Shu Shi glanced at his boyfriend.

He wanted to say that this rule is a reward for people who have died once, but not for you.

Zhong Ruji is very special. He has never experienced life, and he has no chance to start over. The world mechanism is not a reward for him, but more like a joke made by fate.

He could have had a complete and ordinary life, but he was born in the mission area.

Untimely birth, probably so.

Shu Shi gritted his teeth unconsciously, and the bones on the side of his face moved accordingly.

A person's birth cannot be chosen by himself. What environment, what family, and what kind of parents he has are all things that have been predetermined since he was born...

"But it is also a punishment for some people," Zhong Ruji said, with a gentle look on his face, "My senior said that the Appraisal Office not only appraises the number of tasks, but also appraises the task process. It will be more dangerous."

Shu Shi thought about it, and it took him a while to organize his words: "If this is the case, then the world mechanism seems to be quite human."

"Human nature?" Zhong Ruji asked softly, then smiled again, "Barely count."

I will give you a chance to be reborn from Nirvana, but I will not let the devil easily return to the world.Looking at the world mechanism from another angle, you will find its completely different second side.

The topic changed, Shu Shi moved the hand that was being held, and changed the direction to interlock with Zhong Ruji's fingers.

He said: "After this advanced level, let me go to the intermediate level alone, I want to chase you."

Zhong Ruji pursed her lower lip, the gentleness that had just melted away slowly faded away, and the brows frowned slightly.

Shu Shi also mentioned it before, but every time it was nothing.

This time he looked at Zhong Ruji, and when Zhong Ruji was about to speak, he tightened their hands, "I'm serious, don't talk about him."

Zhong Ruji is a master at chatting, as long as Shu Shi's will is a little weaker, he can change the topic calmly.It was like this before.

"Let's talk about it after this time." Zhong Ruji said.

Okay, let's not change the subject, just use the tactic of delaying the attack.

Shu Shi's eyelashes moved slightly, and he smiled: "Okay, let's talk later."

"..." Zhong Ruji looked sideways at him for a moment, then said helplessly, "Must we go?"

"Of course." Shu Shi raised his eyebrows, "Otherwise I can be so persistent?"

He patted the corner of his clothes, and said indifferently: "I have already prepared, before we are together. So, whether you agree or not, I will run to do the task one day."

Zhong Ruji opened his lips, and closed his mouth in time when some words were about to be blurted out.

"But I still hope that you know about it." Shu Shi looked up at him and smiled, "The main reason is that I don't want to hide it from you."

Zhong Ruji looked at him and remained silent for a long time.

Shu Shi's eyes were open, with a touch of confidence and certainty.

It is very difficult for Zhong Ruji to change the established choice, but if the person who made the change is Shu Shi, this matter will be much easier.

The faint sound of fighting stopped, Shu Shi waited for Zhong Ruji to let go and was not in a hurry, they could talk slowly after leaving the space.

There are more important things right now.

Shu Shi turned sideways, touched the backpack on Zhong Ruji's waist and put the water bottle back.

Inevitably during the movements, he put his arms on Zhong Ruji's waist and abdomen, and felt the other person's high body temperature and light breathing through the material of the clothes.

Zhong Ruji was very quiet, which was unprecedented.

Shu Shi lowered his eyes, thinking about how to cheer people up.

Then his chin was pinched by one hand, and he lifted it up slightly.

Zhong Ruji's eyes were suppressed, and his long eyelashes cast a small shadow under his eyes. He didn't have any obvious expression, so that when he looked at people like this, he would give the other party a kind of unreasonable psychological pressure.

Shu Shi has seen thousands of appearances of Zhong Ruji, but this one is unprecedented.

His hand automatically found a point of strength and supported Zhong Ruji's side, so he could only look up at Zhong Ruji.

Shu Shi blinked lightly a few times, and saw the thick blackness in Zhong Ruji's pupils, which seemed to be suppressing some turbulent emotion.

After a few seconds of silence, Shu Shi heard him say: "If I don't insist on letting you go, I won't hesitate to lock you in the house...Will you hate me?"

Zhong Ruji pronounced his words very lightly, and his speech speed also slowed down, which would give people the illusion that "he is serious".

But for Shu Shi, this "threat" didn't work at all.

Shu Shi smiled helplessly: "But you don't know how to do this kind of thing, so the following assumption cannot be established."

"You're avoiding the important and taking the light." Zhong Ruji's fingertips rubbed lightly on his face, "If I don't let you go, what will you do?"

Shu Shi looked at him and didn't answer for a while.

Zhong Ruji seldom asked him for anything, let alone not allowing him to do something so stubbornly.

They have always tolerated, understood, and compromised with each other, so that now the two are sticking to their own opinions, and a stalemate has rarely appeared.

This kind of scene happened once before, and subtly, they broke up unhappy.

"I can listen to you, but I need your reason." Shu Shi said, "Because you are very clear about the reason I proposed to go through the mission alone, so I want to know the reason why you insist on not letting me go."

He wanted to shorten the distance between himself and Zhong Ruji, so that he could stand side by side with him enough, but if Zhong Ruji had a reason enough to convince him, he didn't have to.

He can spend one task at a time like now, infinitely prolonging the time they spend together until he watches Zhong Ruji leave the task area.

Zhong Ruji stared at him for a while, then let go of his hand and looked away.

Silent refusal, no cooperation at all.

Shu Shi withdrew his hand and jumped off the bed, stood in front of him, and said with a suppressed voice: "Look at me. If there are no factors that can interfere with our conversation, I want you to answer me now."

Zhong Ruji lowered his eyes and didn't look at him.

"...I don't want to quarrel about this matter, you know." Shu Shi said, "I have my insistence, what about you?"

Zhong Ruji glanced at him, and quickly lowered his eyelids.

Shu Shi didn't quite understand what was in that gaze, but he knew that Zhong Ruji didn't respond to him.

Shu Shi took a deep breath and tried his best to suppress the depression and inexplicable in his heart.

His fingers started to feel cold again, most likely from being angry.

In the silence, the familiar sound of fighting sounded again, this time the distance was closer, but Zhong Ruji still didn't speak.

Shu Shi glanced at the bronze gate, knowing that the fightrs would not be able to get through for the time being.He relaxed his shoulders, pinched the corners of his eyes and said, "To be honest, I'm a little angry now... Forget it, I don't know what I'm talking about. Let's talk about it after the mission is over. The advanced level is more important."

He took away the water bottle that had just been put away, unscrewed it and took a sip, puffed out his cheeks and turned his back to calm down.

He didn't want to lose his temper, let alone lose his temper with Zhong Ruji.

Zhong Ruji's eyelashes fanned slightly, and then he turned his gaze back to Shu Shi, looking at the back.

Shu Shi carried the water bottle, and after calming down, he turned around and stuffed the water back into his backpack.

Whether intentionally or not, he missed Zhong Ruji's gaze.

Shu Shi lowered his eyes and bent over, Zhong Ruji was looking at him from the corner of his vision, and his gaze followed him all the time.

He pursed his lower lip uncomfortably, thinking to hang out with someone for a while, and then talk after his anger subsides.

The mouth of the water bottle bag was a little tight, Shu Shi stuffed it with one hand for a long time, and finally had to use two hands to handle it.

Zhong Ruji's fingers clenched and then loosened, and finally grabbed Shu Shi when he was about to turn around again.

Shu Shi's wrist was grabbed, and before he could react, he felt a shadow pressing over him.

Suddenly there was a warm touch on his lips.
