Those years when I was taken away by the boss

The mission hall stood silently in the rain, its silver-gray exterior becoming much darker due to the sky.

The black car stopped in front of the hall, the rain had not subsided, and the crackling sound could be heard endlessly.

When Shu Shi got out of the car, his face was blurred by the wind, and they were only a dozen steps away from the hall, and they were still holding umbrellas, so they still didn't escape the baptism of wind and rain, and all their clothes and pants were not spared.

"The weather is too bad, it's not suitable to go out." Shu Shi sniffled, went to the vending machine to order two bottles of hot drinks, and sat down next to Zhong Ruji when he came back, "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have let you come."

"Everything is done, and it's boring to stay at home." Zhong Ruji touched his trouser legs, feeling that the wetness was not so serious, "If you encounter a kill, come out earlier."

"Yeah." Shu Shi rolled the hot drink on his face, and took his hand with his reddened hand, "You go back first, it's not good to have wet clothes."

"It's okay." Zhong Ruji said, "It will dry after a while."

The heating supply in the mission hall is very sufficient, and people in tight clothes can basically sweat within 5 minutes after entering.

"No, it's easier to get sick when it's cold for a while and hot for a while." Shu Shi took off his coat, his rain-drenched hair was formed into locks, his eyebrows were clean and bright, "You go home first, Yi Qingxiao is with me .”

Zhong Ruji pursed his lips, not really wanting to leave, but he couldn't think of a reason.

Shu Shi saw reluctance through this expression, and couldn't help laughing.

Before Zhong Ruji could give an excuse, the mobile phone in his pocket rang first, he took out the mobile phone, and the incoming call showed "Yu Yan".

Yu Yan usually doesn't call, and when she calls, there must be something, and most of it is important business.

Seeing Zhong Ruji freeze, Shu Shi wanted to laugh even more, knowing that he must be busy with something: "Now you may not be bored anymore."

Zhong Ruji: "..."

After picking up the phone, Yu Yan's words were always concise: "Brother Zhong, Yin Shuo wants to negotiate terms with you."

The name was a bit unfamiliar, and Zhong Ruji paused for two seconds before he remembered who it was. When he glanced at Shu, he asked Yu Yan: "What conditions?"

Yin Shuo took Ji Yuan and shut the door behind him. He had been shut out several times, and if Shu Shi hadn't got Ji Yuan in his hands, he wouldn't be so concerned.

"No, I asked for an interview." Yu Yan said.

Zhong Ruji didn't like to turn on the speakerphone, Shu Shi couldn't hear what they were talking about, only noticed that Zhong Ruji started to knock on the table.

He took a sip of warm milk and waited slowly.

One minute later, Zhong Ruji hung up the phone and frowned slightly.

Shu Shi could hear some things just by listening to Zhong Ruji's reply, for example, the other party asked to meet now, probably to negotiate terms, and it was too late.

Zhong Ruji looked at him sideways, sighed softly, and said helplessly, "I'm leaving, I'll go back and deal with some things."

"Yeah." Shu Shi hooked his neck and kissed him, "Go back and change clothes first."

Zhong Ruji wanted to check the time, and it happened that the announcement of the opening of the space cabin sounded in the room.

Shu Shi shook his hair, looked at his phone and realized that it was really time, he sent a message back to Yi Qingxiao, packed up and prepared to enter the space.

After Shu Shi entered the space cabin and the space was completely opened, Zhong Ruji left from the second floor.

Calculated according to the time to go back and forth, the faster the speed, the more likely you will be able to pick up people.He walked away quickly holding an umbrella, started the car and returned on the same road.

A dazzling lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating everything so brightly that it was almost pale.

When Zhong Ruji arrived in front of Yin Shuo's house, Yu Yan was already waiting there, looking further away, he could see a man dressed in all black coming over and standing in the shadows.

Yin Shuo is withdrawn by nature, has almost no friends, and his interpersonal communication is as clean as a piece of white paper.This kind of person is generally recognized as not good at socializing, and it is also recognized that he does not like to take the initiative to communicate with others.

It was just such a withdrawn person who did the thing of inviting people to his house on a rainy day.

Yu Yan felt that this was somewhat inappropriate, but he and Zhong Ruji were both concerned about the news that Ji Yuan could not be held back.

It is not that the second district did not choose Jiyuan, and Yin Shuo was only one of them, but he is the only one who is still alive today.

This is his special feature and his capital.

When Zhong Ruji entered the room, Yin Shuo turned on the light, and the living room shrouded in gloom lit up.

"Sit." Yin Shuo said.

"No need, there is something else to do." Zhong Ruji glanced at the coffee table.

A few sheets of loose-leaf paper were only half used. The upper half was densely packed with words, which was so neat and pleasing to the eye, while the lower half was empty and clean as new.

Yin Shuo nodded and sat on the sofa by himself. He looked around and said hoarsely, "Conditions, take me through five missions."

"Five times?" Yu Yan frowned.

Yin Shuo nodded heavily, keeping his eyes on Zhong Ruji, and said after two seconds, "You are Zhong Ruji."

Although it is a declarative sentence, it is mixed with a hint of doubt and uncertainty.

Except for the newcomers, everyone in the mission area knows Zhong Ruji well. Yin Shuo is also a veteran of the mission. This sentence is really weird.

"Are you... amnesia?" Yu Yan couldn't help asking.

Yin Shuo said, "No."

Zhong Ruji looked at the few pieces of paper, but said nothing.

He has good eyesight, and the light from the near light makes it easy for him to see the words on the paper.

Familiar words such as "world", "task", and "space" appeared frequently on the paper. With a cursory glance, the colon marked before the paragraph was most clearly seen.

A few words followed by a colon, followed by a few lines of petty print, and then another line, and the same.

Combining the sense of sight and keywords, it is not difficult to distinguish that the content on the paper is the author introducing the world to the viewers.

What kind of person will put common sense on paper, and what kind of person needs common sense.

The former don't know, but the latter is obvious, only newcomers need to know the world.

These doubts quickly formed a thread in his mind, and they matched Shu Shi's situation one by one.

Zhong Ruji suddenly had a ridiculous guess.

This is really absurd, Yu Yan thought.

Jiyuan is a one-time consumable, so it is very special among the nine props.He had guessed many possibilities, but he never thought of the one Yin Shuo mentioned.

Liyuan, take it apart and look at it, fetters, abyss.Who is bound to whom?Where is the abyss?

Yin Shuo gave them a reasonable answer.

Yin Shuo said that the black bracelet on his right wrist has not disappeared, but it is invisible to others. After completing a fixed number of standard tasks, the bracelet reappears, and he can return to his own world.

He said that this was what Yin Shuo wrote on the paper and told him.

It is ridiculous that Yin Shuo is not Yin Shuo.

The rhetoric can be made up, the content on the paper can be copied, but Ji Yuan and the others just can't see it. Yu Yan suspects that Yin Shuo is deceiving them.

But for some unknown reason, Brother Zhong didn't point out Yin Shuo's loopholes. After listening, he just kept silent, bowed his head and remained silent for a long, long time.

He stood there, the knuckles of his fingers were tense, turning blue and white.

Yu Yan had never seen Zhong Ruji like this before, so she asked worriedly: "Brother Zhong, what's wrong?"

Zhong Ruji said, "It's fine."

The voice was so low that even Yin Shuo was startled.

"Five missions, I'll take you." Zhong Ruji looked at Yin Shuo, his voice was hoarse, but his tone was extremely calm, "I have one last question. The fixed number you mentioned is five?"

Yin Shuo nodded: "Yes."

"Okay, thank you." Zhong Ruji turned around and wanted to leave.

"Brother Zhong, you are not in the right state." Yu Yan grabbed his arm, frowned slightly and said, "You need to rest."

"No need." Zhong Ruji pushed his hand away, strode out, and disappeared at the door within a few seconds.

The sound of the engine, accompanied by the sound of rain, reached the ears of the two people inside the house through the open door.

Yu Yan looked at the direction where Zhong Ruji was leaving, and didn't say a word for a long while.

He didn't quite understand why Brother Zhong was fine when he came in, why did he change his appearance after just listening for a while.

Yin Shuo looked down at the seemingly useless loose-leaf paper, and smiled knowingly.

He knew that the person had seen what was written on the paper, and the other party was smart enough that he no longer needed to explain it.

Lightning tore through the sky, and thunder soon exploded across the horizon.

There were few pedestrians on the road, Zhong Ruji was controlling the steering wheel, and the black car was speeding through the rain.

Caged castles, man-made arrows, two shadows, sinking on the edge... plus today's intermediate tasks.

Exactly five times.He is out of time.

When Shu Shi came out of the space cabin, the second floor was quiet, and there was no one there.

The task this time was of the killing type, the target was a powerful villain, and he completed it beautifully.

Shu Shi took his cell phone and coat to go out, but then found that he couldn't go out.

The second floor is still the second floor, he has not reached the number of tasks, and he is not worthy of letting it open the door.

Shu Shi forgot about this and laughed angrily.

He looked at the sensor installed on the door, and said cruelly while holding his mobile phone: "Just wait, you will definitely know me in half a month."

The top note in the address book is "Mr. Zhong", Shu Shi pressed it without thinking, turned on the speakerphone and waited for the other person to answer.

The phone beeped twice intermittently, and he suddenly remembered that Zhong Ruji was on business, so it should be inconvenient now.

So he quickly hung up the phone and called someone else.

The other side was a little slow to pick up, so Shu Shi waited patiently.

When the beeping stopped abruptly, a human voice could be heard faintly from the other end. He opened his mouth to speak, but he was preempted by the other party.

"You still make calls in such a large hall?" Yi Qingxiao glanced around but didn't see anyone, she crossed her hips and wondered, "...where are you?"

"Second floor." Shu Shi rubbed his nose, "I'm locked inside, I can't get out."

"Oh—oh, no, where is Zhong Ruji?" Yi Qingxiao walked to the second floor, asking as she walked, "Is he only in charge of delivering or picking up?"

"He has something to go back, and he probably hasn't finished his work." Shu Shi explained, "I let him go, forgetting that I can't open the door on the second floor."

"Pfft, stay well, my sister will come to save you right away." Yi Qingxiao said with a smile.

……

Zhong Ruji threw the mobile phone on the passenger seat, stepped on the accelerator to speed up after downshifting.

The screen of the phone was still on, and the sound came from the speaker.

"The number you dialed is busy, please try again later..."
