After the escape, the vest became the white moonlight of everyone

But after standing up and looking towards the door for a few seconds, Fu Heihui sat back on the chair again.

The black-haired boy lowered his head, feeling his excited heartbeat, and tried his best to restrain the urge to rush out to find someone next door.

He turned his head and looked at the two pieces of paper on the table, staring at the word Hui on them, trying to calm down his excited heart at this moment:

No.

Can't be in a hurry.

Fu Heihui's fingers pinched his palm vigorously to force himself to calm down, the knuckles that pinched his palm turned white due to too much force.

The black-haired boy's eyes were full of patience, and he kept admonishing himself in his heart:

Can't be in a hurry.

The last time he was too anxious and caused him to leave immediately.

This time, I must be fully prepared before acting, and I must keep him by my side.

Fu Heihui closed his eyes, saying this to himself in his heart.

Make sure to keep him this time.

The boy made a firm decision.

...

In the Knotweed dormitory on the other side, Xilai was not relaxed either.

Xilai, who was pulled over by Nazaki to taste his handicrafts, noticed the skillful movement of kneading the balls in the other hand of the knotweed when he was biting the tuna rice ball that Nazaki gave him.

His eyes naturally moved to the hand of the knotweed stick, but he found that the fillings for the meatballs he was making were extremely familiar.

Thinking of something, Xi Lai suddenly couldn't eat anymore:

It looks like... I taught Knotweed before... I still remember it.

And just as Xilai was thinking this way, Nazaki suddenly said to the knotweed stick: "When you 'died', Fu Hei made these ginger meatballs from it, and he told me that you taught me 'before you were alive'." his."

Nazaki deliberately bit the words "dead" and "living" very hard, causing Knotabagi to smile embarrassedly: "Haha, hahaha, I was really wrong!"

"Feel sorry!"

At this time, Nagasaki made a sharp eye at the knotweed.

Knotweed put the balls made on the side out of the pot one by one, and said to Kizaki: "I know about this, Fuhei and I told you about the two of you eating sukiyaki."

After putting all the meatballs into the pot, Knotabagi looked up at Nagasaki and continued: "Two days ago he even sent a message asking me who taught me."

Xi Lai, who was picking up a piece of baby vegetables from the pot, froze immediately after hearing the words of the knotweed: "..." After a pause, Xi Lai put The dish was put in the bowl, but I no longer had the appetite to eat it. My eyes started to look at the baby dish in the bowl, and I began to think crazily:

After what the knotweed said, Xi Lai remembered that he used to make this kind of meatballs for Fu Heihui before, and Fu Heihui also liked this kind of meatballs with obvious minced ginger.

In this way... Fu Heihui found out? !

But Kei didn't say anything to him...

Just when Xilai was shocked, Nazaki who was sitting next to him said, "However, the method of this kind of meatball is quite special. Most people can't accept meatballs with obvious minced ginger, although I'm still surprised. I quite like it."

After hearing the words, Knotweed looked down at the churning sukiyaki pot, and suddenly there was a trace of nostalgia in his eyes: "Well, it's just something taught to me by a very important person, so I often make it and eat it."

"It's not so much that I want to eat this taste, it's better to say that I miss the feeling at that time."

Nagasaki looked at the suddenly lowered knotweed at this time, and knew that he must have someone who has been thinking about it all the time, so he didn't say much, just continued to make the rice ball in his hand quietly:

"When it's done, I'll bring a few to Senior Maki."

The knotweed said to Xi Lai: "Senior, eat quickly."

Xi Lai forced a smile, and responded, "Okay."

Xi Lai was so flustered that he couldn't eat anymore. The fact that Fu Heihui might have discovered him already made him a little flustered. At this time, mentioning the knotweed stick from the past also made Xi Lai's thoughts wander:

As time goes by, the more he gets along with people with high curses, the more his emotions will be affected by the details of the past.

This was a completely new feeling for Siri.

Although he was also a veteran in carrying out missions before, he would never come into contact with mission objects he had contacted before.

He, who never had to spend much time changing his appearance and habits, was also forced to start trying to disguise himself.He who never had to think about how to deal with his previous mission objects, is now forced to face the special feelings that those people have for him.

Whether it's Fu Heihui, Qihai Jianren, Su Nuo, or Polygonum cuspidatum, Xi Lai feels the bond that has been secretly formed and the still strong emotion that has not dissipated when getting along with them.

As for Xi Lai, she was not at all prepared to be seen through by everyone.

Rather than being afraid of being discovered, it is better to say that he is at a loss.

Sealy didn't know what to do and how to do it when she was exposed.

What should I do?.

And just when Xilai was worried about Fu Heihui, he suddenly heard the voice of the knotweed calling him: "Senior family?"

Xi Lai looked up and met the bright eyes of the knotweed: "Are you in a daze?" The knotweed asked curiously: "Do you still like eating these?"

Xi Lai hurriedly shook her head when she heard the words: "No, the food you made is delicious! I'm a bit full."

Hearing this, Hu Zhang said clearly: "So that's how it is."

Xilai smiled at him and Nagasaki apologetically: "Thank you for the hospitality. I remembered that I have to submit the mission report later, so I will go back first."

Hu Zhang nodded vigorously: "Yeah, goodbye, senior."

Nagizaki, who was busy with work, also took out his hand and waved at him: "Goodbye."

After saying goodbye to them, Xi Lai got up and walked out. After closing the door, Xi Lai's gaze involuntarily turned to the door of Fu Heihui's dormitory next door.

Thinking of Xi Lai, who might already be recognized by Fu Heihui, her mood became a little complicated.

But before he could take his eyes off the Fu Hei Hui door and walk towards his own dormitory, the door he was staring at suddenly opened.

Although Xi Lai looked away the moment he realized the door was open, he still felt his gaze was caught by Fu Heihui who came out from inside.

Sure enough, before he could turn his head to greet Fu Heihui, Fu Heihui looked at him and said, "Senior."

After being called out by Fu Heihui, Xi Lai felt her heart skip a beat. Before, she was thinking about what to do when Fu Heihui found out, but she had already forgotten all about it: "Ah, um, Fu Hei."

He responded somewhat unnaturally to Fu Heihui's greeting.

Then Xi Lai felt anxious like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered on the chopping board. He felt that Fu Heihui's eyes on him were like a knife hanging above his head that hadn't fallen yet, and he was looking for the most convenient place to start.

The kid who was still reading the doodle picture book grew up so smart that he seemed to be able to see through his disguise and lies at once.

Thinking of his handsome appearance when he resolutely left after completing the task before, Xi Lai only felt that he was a little ashamed in front of Fu Heihui: "..."

The air between the two of them seemed to freeze for an instant.

But not long after, Fu Heihui in front of Xi Lai spoke again: "Senior."

Xi Lai responded with a guilty conscience: "Huh?" He guessed that Fu Heihui stopped him at this time, and he was going to speak directly.

Unexpectedly, Xi Lai, who was already ready to be judged, heard Fu Heihui make a request in a suddenly soft voice:

"Can I still ask you out to play on weekends?"

Xi Lai, who thought she was going to "die" soon, couldn't help being stunned for a second when she heard this: "...Huh?"

He looked at Fu Heihui in disbelief, but his heart was full of doubts: Did I hear wrong?

After Fu Heihui saw his reaction, he gradually lowered his eyes. The beautiful emerald eyes seemed to be stained with a layer of disappointment, like a black cat that couldn't be petted, and once again touched Xi Lai's heart instantly. softened.

And the black-haired boy didn't deliberately suppress the pitiful sense of loss on his face, but maintained this loss and said softly again:

"is it not OK?"

Seeley suddenly felt that he had done something very heinous—that was rejecting his little Baa Goomy.

It's as bad as turning a blind eye to cuddling requests from the sweet and soft Huizi when he was a child.

Before Xilai could react, his body had already responded for him.

He nodded quickly after Fu Heihui finished asking: "Of course."

After saying that, Xi Lai realized that he had agreed to Fu Heihui's request: "..." He couldn't help but secretly scolded himself for not living up to expectations.

If things go on like this, Xi Lai feels that if Fu Heihui asks him with this expression if he is the one who left back then, he will subconsciously nod and say yes, instead of acknowledging himself.

This is not a good sign...

On the other side, Fu Heihui, after getting an affirmative reply from Xi Lai, the lost emotion on his face slowly disappeared, and he suddenly recovered the cold and calm expression in the past, as if the Fu Hei who had just lost and was depressed Hui does not exist the same: "Okay."

After all, Fu Heihui seemed to be planning to leave, like a cat that was ready to leave after getting a good deal, which made Xi Lai feel a little disappointed.

Xi Lai, who couldn't believe that Fu Heihui only wanted to tell him these things, couldn't hold back his curiosity, and couldn't help asking, "Do you have anything else to tell me?"

After asking, Xi Lai regretted it for a moment, but Fu Heihui just glanced at him, then nodded and said, "Well, what's the matter, is there anything else to do, Senior?" It seemed that he really just came to talk to Xi Lai about this matter As usual, after getting a positive answer from Xilai, he prepared to leave contentedly.

Xi Lai, who secretly couldn't believe it, carefully observed Fu Heihui's expression, but found that there was nothing unusual. Finally, he smiled and shook his head at Fu Heihui: "It's nothing, goodbye, I'll go back to my dormitory too gone."

Fu Heihui hummed, and waved goodbye to Xi Lai as usual: "Goodbye, senior."

While waving, the black braided rope bracelet on Fu Heihui's wrist also swayed slightly with his movements.

Xi Lai smiled and waved to Fu Heihui, then turned and left the first-grade dormitory.

It seems that I am thinking too much...

On the way back to the dormitory, Xi Lai thought silently while recalling the conversation with Fu Heihui just now.

Hui did not find out.

But there are also strange places.

Silai thought with some confusion:

Why did Kei suddenly get close to me?

Could it be because of the encounter with Dongtang before the exchange meeting?

It is not impossible.

Just like that, Xi Lai walked towards his dormitory while thinking about why Fu Heihui and him suddenly got close.

...

After a few days, Xilai, who found that Fu Heihui's place was normal, officially confirmed that he had not been discovered.

And he didn't have much time to study further, because he still had one important thing to do.

That is to go back to the headquarters to see the situation.

The situation in the system is getting more and more outrageous. He had set some strange settings for him before, but recently those settings disappeared inexplicably. Xi Lai successfully recovered all his powers, but he couldn't help but feel a little worried Systematic repetition.

In the past few days when he calmed down, Xi Lai found a day with no time node, and returned to the headquarters with a spiritual body.

He wanted to see the progress of Midier's restoration, and by the way, see if there was anything he could help.

Unexpectedly, just after Xi Lai arrived at the headquarters, he saw an all-too-familiar figure there.

"Cassius."

Xilai called out to stop the red figure hurriedly walking in front of him.

Cassius turned around after hearing his voice, but the expression on his face was a bit astonished: "Why are you back?"

Xilai stepped forward and explained to Cassius: "I'll come back to check on the situation at the headquarters and see how the system is being repaired, but why are you here?"

Xi Lai frowned slightly and recalled: "I sent you a text message before, didn't you say you were busy with a task."

After listening to Xilai's question, Cassius couldn't help but pause for a few seconds, and didn't know how to answer for a while: "Um..."

But then he sighed calmly, took Xilai's arm and said, "Come with me."

Cassius dragged Xilai into the room in a daze.

The two walked through the silver hall, and soon Cassius brought him to a room that Sylay had never seen before.

The scanner recognized Cassius' pupils, the door opened instantly, and he walked in with the dazed Cassius.

Not long after entering, Xilai couldn't help but asked, "Where is this place?"

Cassius explained: "Middle asked me to help him repair the system together, so I have the authority here. After checking other things before, he finally found out what the problem was."

Xi Lai couldn't help asking, "Where did it come from?"

Cassius raised his chin, motioning for Sile to look at the back of the room.

Xilai looked in the direction suggested by Cassius, but was shocked by the scene in front of him.

Thousands of abandoned timelines hang there quietly, the dim gray lines are lifeless, and the more the number, the more weird it becomes.And there are so many of these gray timelines that should have been discarded long ago.

At this time, Cassius' voice also rang in Xilai's ear: "In the abandoned timeline, Midier first helped me check the ones that belonged to me, and after fixing some of the above problems, The system has also reduced some failures accordingly."

Looking at the abandoned timeline in front of him, Cassius continued: "When I was doing the task before, the system suddenly gave out some strange features, which were the ones that hindered me from performing the task, but halfway through my task, I was blocked by Mi Dill called up, and the task was handed over to others."

"And after fixing the problems in my abandoned timelines, those strange features disappeared accordingly."

Hearing this, Xilai slightly opened his eyes and said to Cassius: "I was the same before, the system had a feature that limited my ability, but it disappeared completely recently, is it because Midil repaired your abandoned time? Is it because of the line..."

Cassius pondered after hearing this: "Then that is to say, the system failures caused by the abandoned timeline are interoperable, so after repairing my abandoned timeline, your system failures will also be reduced."

Xilai said in a deep voice, "It should be like this..."

At this time, his heart was not at peace, because the abandoned timelines that he thought would be discarded were all included here without any errors.

And it is impossible for Xilai to forget that he still uses the few discarded timelines left behind to preserve the spiritual bodies of many people who died in the perfect timeline.

how so.

Xilai couldn't help but frowned:

Could it be that the disorder of the system has something to do with the abandoned timeline that I put my spiritual body into?If it is really related, will Midier empty those spiritual bodies...

But in that case, wouldn't those people really die completely?

Thinking of this, Xi Lai couldn't help asking Cassius, "Where's Midier?"

Cassius looked at him and replied: "Repairing the failure of the abandoned timeline requires a spiritual body to enter. Midier is currently investigating an abandoned timeline. I was doing the same thing as him before, but I happened to run into you just after checking one out. I’ve been exhausted for the past few days.”

After complaining, Cassius seemed to have noticed Xilai's wavering expression, and he couldn't help asking with some concern: "What's wrong with you?"

Xi Lai glanced at his friend who he had been with for countless years, and finally decided to tell him everything.

...

After 3 minutes, Cassius, who roughly knew what had happened, was a little surprised: "How could this be..."

But soon he also figured out a lot.

After all, Cassius is no stranger to Sirai's soft and sensitive side, so he quickly understood how Sirai would use the abandoned timeline to let some people live in another way.

Xi Lai closed her eyes with a headache: "What should I do."

Cassius saw that Xi Lai was so troubled, but now he calmly went up and patted Xi Lai on the shoulder calmly, saying, "I can help you hide it for a while."

Xi Lai looked at him in astonishment when he heard the words: "What?"

Cassius continued: "I can tell Midier that I have checked your abandoned timelines, so that I can hide it for you for a while."

After hearing what Cassius said, Xilai's first reaction was to refuse: "You don't have to help me like this." In this way, Cassius was also involved.

Cassius shook his head, and said to Xi Lai, "Anyway, you have been helping me all the time."

Xilai retorted: "How can this be the same..."

But at this moment, Cassius looked unwilling to discuss further: "That's the decision."

Seeing his friend's resolute look, Xilai couldn't help shouting, "Cassius..."

Cassius covered his ears with his hands, as if he had returned to his indecency before, and made a look that he didn't want to hear: "If you don't listen, don't listen, don't say that you are responsible for this alone."

Xilai still hesitated. Although he couldn't make the decision to hand over the abandoned timeline with the spirit body, he couldn't just watch Cassius help him hide it so readily.

"Don't worry, I'll help you hide it first."

After saying this, Cassius lowered his arms, looked into Xilai's eyes, and said with a serious tone again: "However, you have to find a way to deal with it as soon as possible."

Seeing that Cassius couldn't be held back, Xilai nodded, "Got it."

Cassius rubbed Xilai's hair in satisfaction, and waved his best friend who usually took care of him, and said, "Let's go, go and deal with what you have to deal with."

...

Since returning from headquarters, Sealy has been thinking about the abandoned timeline.

But no matter how much Xi Lai thinks about it, he also knows that if the fault is really caused by his abandoned timelines, the only solution is to remove the mental body above, and then hand over those abandoned timelines. .

but.

Xi Lai looked at the abandoned timelines in his system with some unbearable pain.

In the beginning, the spiritual bodies of those people were put in because they didn't want them to die directly, and wanted to give them another way to live. Now he is required to strip them from the abandoned timeline with his own hands, which is the same as letting him end the lives of those people with his own hands. What's the difference.

And if it is not handled in this way, the broken system will inevitably make many space-time bureau members encounter many difficulties like him in the process of carrying out their missions.

Thinking of this, Xi Lai, who only felt in a dilemma, couldn't help but sigh heavily in her heart.

But what he didn't expect at this time was that the problem that troubled him so deeply now would be solved in a way that he didn't expect in the near future.

And he will also usher in an unexpected reunion with some people.

...

At this time, within the several abandoned timelines that Xi Lai carried.

Fuheshier, Xia Youjie, and Shunping, who were not in the same space, all noticed the same thing one after another:

The black-and-white world they live in has no magic power and cannot use spells. Recently, there are traces of fluctuations in spell power!

Xia Youjie opened one eye and looked at the translucent sky with several cracks.

With a premonition, he felt the magic power slowly flowing around him, showed a fleeting smile, and then slowly closed his eyes.

On the other timeline, Fu Heisher also did the same thing as Xia Youjie. He raised his eyes to look at the sky above his head that seemed to be broken at any moment.

Junpei, who had just entered the world of black and white, tried to summon his shikigami after recovering his spell power, but finally succeeded.

They have all more or less realized that the time for them to go out may not be far away.
