Chapter 210 Guess Who He Is 19
Song Xun's words tore off the superficial disguise, revealing the bloody, realistic and cruel side inside.
Xie Jin didn't say anything, which was tantamount to his agreement.
In other words, their goals were the same from beginning to end.
Waiting for the other to fall asleep.
Xie Jin sighed lightly: "Guan Qi, I know them better than you do."
Song Xun knew in an instant that the "they" Xie Jin was referring to was the Space-Time Bureau. The next moment, he felt a cold touch on his hand.
A cold red light flashed by.
It was the scimitar.
Xie Jin easily pried open Song Xun's fingers and stuffed the scimitar into his hand.
Song Xun saw through Xie Jin's plan and his body resisted spontaneously, but he still couldn't stop Xie Jin's actions.
"Don't... don't do this, I beg you..."
For the first time in his life, Song Xun hated his own weakness. Even his power to resist seemed so insignificant in front of Xie Jin.
The scimitar was finally forcibly stuffed into Xie Jin's palm. He held his hand tightly and moved it to his heart.
"I know this is cruel to you, but I have to admit that you have grown a lot and become more perceptive and smarter. I can't trick you anymore."
Xie Jin chuckled: "Looks like I can rest assured now."
Song Xun bit her lips tightly and kept shaking her head. She could no longer control her tears and they fell down.
He wanted to tell Xie Jin to stop talking, but his throat seemed to have lost its voice and he could only make some meaningless sobs.
"In fact, I have always been a very selfish person. I only do things based on my own ideas and never consider other people's opinions, but I just can't change."
The tip of the knife slowly moved forward.
"As long as I am still alive, I will definitely find you alive."
"If, I'm really gone, you can live your life well and don't have to think about me all the time, but you can't forget me either."
"I know the ways in which the system instigates people. Just treat it as a threat. Don't erase your memory and don't completely forget me."
Xie Jin grabbed Song Xun's cold hand and exerted force. The sound of the knife piercing through the flesh was so clear that it seemed to be reflected directly in his ears.
The bloody smell in the air became stronger and stronger.
Xie Jin's lips, which were not very warm, fell on Song Xun's brows, and he said softly, "I don't want you to forget me. It's okay to hate me."
The hand that was tightly holding Song Xun finally lost control and slipped away.
At that moment, Songxun's world was completely silent.
Even the sound of the system was isolated.
"Congratulations to the host for completing the mission. Now I am returning to the transit lounge of the Spacetime Bureau."
This time it was not a void space, but a house similar to a human residence. A tall steel disc building could be seen outside the window, and there were traces of human walking on the ground.
996 transformed into its original form, a small white ball suspended in the air in front of Song Xun's eyes.
"This is a place for hosts to rest and have fun, but the authority is only open to those who volunteer to work permanently for the Spacetime Bureau. It's like you humans selling your bodies. It may not be so appropriate, but it's almost the same."
996 Try to make your tone sound relaxed and cheerful.
"But since the bureau has arranged for you to stay here temporarily, you can go down and walk around more. The things down there can be deducted with points."
"I will submit an application for you to return to the small world. It will be approved in about three days."
"Or you can tell me what kind of environment you like to live in, and I will choose a world you like. Then the points will be automatically converted into the currency of that world."
996 said everything he could say, but Song Xun did not speak.
The young man in front of him looked distraught, with his right hand hanging by his side trembling slightly, and he looked like a puppy huddled on the side of the road, drenched by the rain.
Song Xun has a fair and delicate appearance, which makes him very popular among the elderly. Even when he is sad, he doesn't like to make a big fuss, but is so quiet that it makes people feel distressed.
996 unconsciously lowered his voice and said carefully: "Or we can seal our relationship again."
This happened every time he completed a mission in the past. 996 thought that this time would be the same. As long as he eliminated unnecessary emotions, Song Xun would return to normal.
Song Xun, who had been unresponsive since entering here, had a wave of emotion in his eyes. He was absent-minded for a moment and shook his head at 996.
"I want to be alone for a while, 996."
"Okay." 996 was a little disappointed and moved towards the door. Finally, he couldn't help but look back. "We are still bound. If you have anything, just call me directly."
Song Xun returned to his previous state, with a weak perception of the outside world and even lost the ability to respond to its words.
996 closed the door.
To be honest, it was a little unhappy. This emotion was somewhat strange and rare to it, beyond its understanding.
It really didn't like Xie Jin. Before him, Song Xun had always listened to it, even though he was sometimes silly and slow to react, but at least, he would never ignore and rebel against his own system for the sake of others.
996 was busy submitting an application to Song Xun and following up on Xie Jin's matter, but he also did not forget to pay attention to Song Xun's situation.
But he found that Song Xun had not left the room or looked for him in the past two days.
This discovery made 996 feel uneasy and disappointed.
After finishing the task at hand, 996 went to the lounge to check on Songxun's condition.
The result remains the same.
It told Songxun that his application would be approved soon, and he would be able to leave the Space-Time Bureau and live the life he wanted soon.
But Song Xun's reactions to these were very indifferent.
Or rather, not caring.
This made 996 very distressed, as it would rather see Songxun's surprised and happy expression.
But soon, 996 had no time to think about it, and the approval procedure, which was originally scheduled to take up to three days, was delayed for some reason.
It was so anxious that it ran around the room. The headquarters suppressed all the responses to it. This was very unusual.
But Ke Songxun seemed not to care and didn't even ask a question.
It was not until half a month later that the arrangements for Song Xun were finally made.
However, it was not an approval, but a notice requiring Song Xun to continue with the mission.
This is the first time that 996 has encountered such a thing as violating regulations and forcibly adding tasks. I am so angry that I am about to go out and argue with the department that issued the order.
"No need." Song Xun said.
He rarely spoke during these days. 996 turned his head and looked at Song Xun's slightly shining eyes in surprise.
"He is still alive." Song Xun said confidently.
"There is no shortage of people here to carry out the mission. I don't think there is any need to destroy the contract for my usefulness. I guess the Space-Time Bureau must have tried to deal with Xie Jin more than once, but failed every time."
Song Xun lowered his eyes slightly: "But one day, they found that I was the most convenient tool to deal with Xie Jin without wasting resources."
As soon as he finished speaking, 996 received the latest notification and arrangements from the headquarters.
Confirmed all of Song Xun's guesses.
It raised its head in confusion: "Then you..."
"I don't want to." Song Xun looked calm, even gentle, but 996 could sense his unrejectable attitude.
996 began to understand that some things are not as simple and superficial as I thought.
Song Xun’s non-cooperation caused the situation to remain at a stalemate. Two days later, the Space-Time Bureau assigned a human being to come up, probably thinking that since they belonged to the same species, they would be able to communicate more harmoniously.
The person who came was a woman with a friendly and gentle appearance, and even her voice was soft and gentle, making it difficult for people to be wary of her.
"My name is Chen Shan. I'm one of the earliest elders. You can call me Sister Shan like everyone else."
"The General Administration has only given me one mission, but I don't believe in rough methods."
Chen Shan took out the scimitar from his waist and said, "You should be familiar with it. The killing power of the Red Moon Blade acts directly on the soul body. For a soul body like yours that has just been stabilized, it only needs to make a small cut of less than one centimeter and you will disappear from this world forever."
She stood up and walked to the window, threw the Red Moon Sword out, and winked at Song Xun jokingly: "Don't worry, it's not a falling object from high altitude. There is an air defense net underneath."
Chen Shan sat down opposite Song Xun and said in a gentle voice, "Compared to those emotionless people in the Space-Time Bureau, I feel closer to you as a fellow human being because of the so-called high-dimensional system set up in the program."
As a quiet listener, Song Xun believes that Chen Shan must be an excellent task executor and she is very suitable for this job, at least more suitable than Song Xun.
Chen Shan smiled and said, "You may be a little curious about me. You will probably be shocked if I tell you that, apart from the time I spent in the mission world, I have lived here for thousands of years."
"You can think of it as eternal life, and there are less than ten people here who have received this gift."
The woman looked at Song Xun and said in a gentle and persuasive manner: "Song Xun, you also have such an opportunity."
Song Xun was unmoved: "But it also comes at a price."
"That just requires you to give up some things. In front of the immortal soul, all those things will be insignificant."
“Some people say they are satisfied with the status quo, but that’s because they have too little and are trapped by the daily necessities of life. They don’t know that when they have absolute money and power, no one will complain about the length of time.”
"For me, every mission is an interesting pastime. Of course, at our level, missions are no longer mandatory, and they give you more freedom. I think this is enough preferential treatment."
Chen Shan's eyes were always on Song Xun. After a long while, she shook her head and stood up: "It seems that I didn't impress you."
Before opening the door and leaving, she gave some final advice.
"Little boy, I don't like threats, but that doesn't mean I'm not the same as everyone else."
996 followed closely behind and entered the door.
"Chen Shan has the highest mission completion rate among all human hosts, and he almost never fails."
It carefully observed Songxun's expression. Seeing that it was hesitant to speak, Songxun kindly explained it to him: "I didn't agree."
996 was so angry that he said, "Why are you so stubborn? Those bastards might have some bad tricks up their sleeves. If we keep going like this, what if..."
"No." Song Xun interrupted, "I still have value in their eyes. They can't really kill me."
·······
Over the next period of time, different people would come in every day, either by intimidation or seduction.
But the result was pretty much the same, and nothing was accomplished.
What Song Xun said to 996 that day was very certain. In fact, he himself had no idea. He was just trying to appease 996, so when the strange mechanical system broke into the room, Song Xun was not very surprised.
The sound of the mechanical body with a cold glow is filled with cold and hard electronic synthesized sounds.
"We have given you enough time to choose. Now, you should make the final decision."
What is meant to come will come, it’s just a matter of time.
Song Xun hated being controlled and used as a pawn to hurt others. Those conditions were not very attractive to him. They were more like a transaction of selling his soul, which he did not like.
“I still make the same choice.”
The system obviously didn’t understand: “You are really stubborn.”
The familiar crescent knife emerged.
Song Xun's eyes fell on the blade, and the palm of his hand seemed to be chilled again, with warm and thick liquid reappearing countless times.
His face turned pale instantly.
That was the first time Song Xun killed someone, and the person he killed was his lover.
Ridiculous and ridiculous.
During that time, he began to escape, deliberately avoiding everything related to Xie Jin and forcing himself to empty his mind, as if only in this way could he prevent himself from collapsing.
Some things are too heavy, too heavy to carry, too heavy to breathe.
Song Xun even hated Xie Jin a little. He hated his self-righteousness and how he could determine what he wanted without ever asking for his own thoughts and opinions.
But in fact, they are all the same, and no one has the right to blame anyone.
Compared with the system, human beings are indeed fragile creatures. They cannot bear too strong emotions and face all kinds of uncertainties at any time.
Song Xun's face did not look good at all, which made the system mistakenly believe that he was afraid and regretful, and his tone couldn't help but carry the attitude of a winner.
"You still have the potential to change your mind now—hiss, hiss, hiss—hiss—"
The unfinished words of the system were replaced by an alarm that echoed through the sky. The sound was harsh and sharp, and played on a loop.
The system suddenly became tense, and didn't even bother to look for Song Xun, and turned and left in a hurry.
Song Xun looked out the window.
A circle of light appeared on the surface of the huge building, and a figure slowly emerged from it.
The man in black combat clothes leaned one hand on the window sill of the outer building, his body suspended in the air a hundred meters high, and his pair of dark eyes looked directly at the camera provocatively.
In the picture, half of the man's face is covered by a mechanical armor, his thin lips are slightly raised, and he seems to be instructing the person on the other side of the headset.
There were approaching flying ships hovering around him, but he didn't seem nervous. A casual glance from the corner of his eye was also captured by the camera.
Song Xun couldn't help but stick his head out of the window, wanting to get closer to the light screen.
Song Xun looked at that unruly temperament for a long time, and his eyes became brighter and brighter. That was... Xie Jin's soul.
The piercing alarm continued.
"I am now issuing a wanted order to hunt down the No. 02 mental criminal Chu Yao. Kill him immediately upon discovery. Everyone, pay attention. Everyone, pay attention."
After this notification, urgent notifications began to sound rapidly.
"District 3 has been paralyzed by an unknown attack from outside. Requesting support, requesting support."
"The central system has been destroyed. Request support immediately and speed up the support."
One after another, broadcasts echoed throughout the sky, and deafening roars continued to be heard from outside the circular building.
Song Xun understood why the Space-Time Bureau was so anxious during this period.
