Undoubtedly, these are the two choices Hall gave Ji He, two choices with no retreat.

Ji He raised his head slightly, looking up at the autocratic and hypocritical monarch above, "Do I have any other choice, sir?" He asked softly.

Hearing this, the man above frowned, his expression full of weariness, he spread his hands, and said: "I think you should know about the fact that Ge Nuo District is about to merge into the gem field."

Recalling the conversation he overheard in this room that day and Qiao Jinhai's gloomy face, Ji He clenched his fists slightly. Indeed, as long as the Ge Nuo District is merged into the gem domain, the life and death of the Qiao family will be destroyed. , will be in the hands of Hall.

but……

"Really? It's a pity that the document has not been approved yet. As far as I know, the tower owner has to seek the consent of the following lords before the contract is officially effective." Ji He's forehead oozes sweat, and he can only hope Mother Ji Linghe would not sign that contract under Qiao Jinhai's control.

As if he didn't expect that he would be directly retorted by Ji He, Hall was silent for a moment, "... so what? Kid, can I suspect that you are belittling me? This is just an insignificant chip, but I think it is enough to use it against you."

Ji He was silent about the expected threat, he wasn't nervous, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Sometimes in the face of power, personal power can be so small and humble that it is not even as good as a speck of dust.

"Little friend, I don't need to stop you from being with my son. As long as you obey me obediently and stop these meaningless little actions you are doing now, I will give you a territory that is many times better than you are now. You don't have to go hungry and cold, my son can live a better life than now, it's a win-win thing, I don't believe you will be a fool."

Wow, so tempting, I was almost shaken.An exaggerated drama was playing out in Ji He's mind, but in reality, he only raised his head slightly and asked, "So Gaza can stop reporting on Helazel?"

Ji He was lucky, he hoped Hall didn't know what Gaza was doing at the moment.

Of course, this is just a small expectation, because he has gradually understood what kind of person Hall is.

After a long silence, Hall smiled and said, "As long as you express your opinion, I will immediately stop Gaza. After all, I don't want to see my favorite young son go to prison, even if he is so disobedient."

Ji He lowered his head, he knew that once he said something similar to "give up", the news would immediately reach the ears of Helezel and Gaza.

He couldn't imagine Helezel's mood.

They clearly agreed...

He also promised Helezel that he would not be the one to let go first, in various senses...don't let go.

Ji He lowered his head, opened his dull eyes, and fell into a long silence.

He couldn't listen to Hall's words anymore, he glanced at Tan Qi who was half kneeling beside him from the corner of his eye, and the expression on that boy's face was exactly the same as his own at the moment.

It doesn't matter what I do, the main thing is that I have to find a way to get Tan Qi out.

The prolonged silence exhausted Hall's patience, and finally he ordered Ariel to transfer Ji He Tan Qi to the basement, a place that was not a cell but was better than a cell.

On the way of "detention", Ji He's eyes wandered to Ariel who was the "supervisor" at the moment.

Ariel didn't say a word, and Ji He didn't take the initiative to talk to him.

The "friends" who talked and laughed in the past, now there is only silence between each other.

Ji He thought that he hated Ariel. When he saw Ariel standing next to Hall for the first time, he even felt murderous, but soon he became sober. He didn't intend to question or take revenge. He made up his mind that he should do what he should do at this moment, instead of losing his mind and thinking about revenge.

"Sir, can I make a call? Regarding the proposal Mr. Garcia gave me just now, I think I have to discuss it with my military adviser." When he arrived at the basement, Ji He proposed this to Ariel ask.

He guessed that Ariel would not refuse, because Hall said before leaving: "Give you time to think about it, kid, maybe you can also ask your relatives and friends for their opinions, I don't think they will mislead you .”

Ariel stared at Ji He for a while, didn't say much, but brought Ji He to the landline outside the cell, and turned on the recording function.

Hall's original intention was to ask Ji He to contact Ji Linghe or Qiao Dong. Seeing his confident appearance, Ji He guessed that Hall might have already set up a net in Geno District, so for the time being, he didn't intend to contact his family.

"I'm very sorry, Cole, I may not be able to go back on time, because I'm in some trouble now, listen to me first." The call was connected, and before Cole could speak, Ji He preemptively struck.

"Based on the recent news, I already guessed it." At this time, Cole's tone was uncharacteristically calm, "Where are you now?"

"...well, a basement."

"I see, I will find a way to get you out, don't forget that this is a favor you owe me, and that you didn't come back on time, don't think I won't pursue it!" Er hung up the phone.

When hanging up the phone, Ji He turned his eyes and saw the doubts on Ariel's face, Ji He said: "People in our place just like to joke."

·

Sitting in the room separated from Tan Qi by a wall, Ji He rested his chin on his hand and waited silently.

Ji He felt that he was quite stupid, and what had happened recently made him wonder if he was too incompetent.

Fortunately, before being found by Hall, Ji He chose to confess everything to Cole in the form of text messages.

In this way, the matter will not reach the point where it is truly irreparable.

Cole is a clever and mysterious young man who usually looks foolish, but at critical moments, he often becomes the key to solving problems.

As narcissistic as Ji He, he rarely really thinks highly of anyone, but after only knowing Cole for a month, he appointed him as his think tank and military adviser, the kind to save lives at critical times.

It doesn't matter, there is still a way.

After getting Cole's guarantee, Ji He felt a little relieved.

Hleizer would be fine, too, he had told him not to worry.

So, nothing will happen.

After receiving short-term psychological comfort, Ji He allowed his body to sink slowly and fell into the soft bed. He closed his heavy eyelids, and finally fell into a deep sleep.

He didn't realize that he had been tired for too long, and he hadn't closed his eyes since the moment Helezel left yesterday.

He didn't even realize that his body and brain had been in a high-load operation mode. These days, he never felt tired, and he didn't dare to be tired.

·

Vaguely, Ji He felt that someone was gently stroking his cheek, he frowned, opened his eyes, and what he saw was a white world.

A string of translucent data flowing in front of his eyes let Ji He know that this may be a so-called "high-tech" world.

He thought about the chip that Hleizer had installed in the back of his neck before he left.

With this chip, Hleizer said, they would be tightly connected.

"Hello, Helezel, are you there?" Ji He yelled.

His voice echoed in the empty whiteness, like throwing a stone into the sea.

No one answered.

"... Liar!" Ji He picked up a stone and threw it viciously into the distance to vent his anger.

Wait... stones?

Ji He, who realized that there was an extra stone in his hand just out of thin air, froze in place for a moment.

"I've been waiting for a long time, but you don't sleep." Helezel's voice suddenly rang in Ji He's ear, and Ji He subconsciously turned around, only to find that there was still nothing around him.

"Where are you? Helezel... I don't want to play hide and seek with you." Ji He's voice was a little hoarse. Fever, he wants to cry.

"Ji He..." Gently, Ji He felt his body was wrapped by a gentle force, and the familiar temperature was like Helezel's hug.

Helezel hugged him gently from behind her.

"Are you okay now, Helezel?" Ji He looked around helplessly, trying to catch something, but still found nothing, "I want to see you, now."

"Ji He, I miss you very much."

"I don't want you to give up, and you don't waver, I beg you."

Please... Ji He's eyes widened slightly. He had never heard such a humble word from Hereser. At the same time, he also felt that such a word would never come from Hereser's mouth. out.

"I won't, what are you being stupid for!" Ji He yelled loudly, with a little hoarseness.

"I don't want you to leave me, even if it's for my own good." Helezel's gentle and deep voice echoed in Ji He's ears, almost driving Ji He crazy.

At this moment, Ji He realized that these voices might come from Helezel's inner world.

A series of information rushed into his brain suddenly, and soon, Ji He realized.Only when he fell asleep at the same time could he and Helezel meet here.

When sleeping separately, some data will remain until the moment the other party comes. Of course, some data when awake may also fall into this white information network.

Because of that chip, Hleizer told him, they would be closely linked.

So, what did Helezel hear?

"I'm just afraid that if I go the wrong way and hurt you instead, I'm sorry, I won't do it again." For the first time, Ji He heard his inner voice so clearly.

I am sorry.

When he woke up, Ji He laughed.

This device is really cunning, and it makes people have no privacy at all.

But at such a moment, its existence is so just right.

Perhaps this is the only way to build bridges between them.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to hear each other's voices, and they wouldn't be able to see each other's faces, that...it would be too painful.
