For a long time, the clouds disappeared and the rain fell. Xia Changdian nestled in Qian Erbai's arms and played with their fingers.

The ring fingers of the two people who are leaning together are wearing a ring each, the material and style are exactly the same, shining dazzling silver light under the light of the spaceship dome, strongly highlighting their sense of existence - this is exactly what the two of them did in the first place. One world chooses which one to order together when they get married, but the materials used are more high-end.

Xia Changdian couldn't help but curled his lips. He grabbed Qian Erbai's hand, squeezed his fingers into the other's fingers one by one, and then clasped his fingers tightly together. Qian Erbai let him do what he did, and occasionally lowered his head to kiss the top of his hair.

Xia Changdian recalled the process of following his brother to the headquarters to "meet the parents" this time, and couldn't help being a little frustrated. He pressed his face to Qian Erbai's chest, and said sullenly: "My performance is not good, your family will Will you be dissatisfied with me?"

Qian Erbai couldn't help laughing when he recalled a little bit of the things that happened at the headquarters that made people laugh, and he quickly coughed twice to cover it up.

Xia Changdian heard that laugh, but now he has given up on himself and is in no mood to quarrel with his brother, his delicate face is full of gloom.

Qian Erbai squeezed Xia Changdian's face, and comforted him: "Stop thinking about it, you are very cute, everyone likes you very much. Of course, I am the one who likes you the most."

Xia Changdian was coaxed, but he still felt that not enough.

When he was at the headquarters, the big ball of light gave Xia Changdian an aptitude test, and the result showed that his overall aptitude was only A+, but there were five question marks in the column of potential. When the evaluation form came out, Xia Changdian obviously felt that the ball of light snorted in dissatisfaction, and suggested that he go to the small world alone to experience hundreds of years.

Because of Qian Erbai's appearance, he didn't continue to say the following words, but Xia Changdian knew it well, he just felt that his ability was too weak and would become a burden to his brother.

He knew that his brother had always been protecting him. Although he was trying to catch up and made continuous progress, there was still a gap of strength between him and his brother. He pretended to be disapproving on the surface, but in fact he was more anxious than anyone else. He wants to become a strong man who can fight side by side with his brother, not the crystal doll that needs his brother to take care of him all the time after the battle.

Qian Erbai seemed to have seen through his heart, sat up, held Xia Changdian's face in both hands, looked into his eyes, and said seriously: "You are fine, I know you will become stronger and stronger. But baby, to be honest , You will never surpass me, and you will never be like me. Don't be angry, I will tell you why."

He spread his palms upwards, and a pure white ball of light appeared out of thin air. The ball of light grows gradually, and when it grows to fill the entire palm, it stops, and some silver-white lights like fiber bundles extend from the ball, extending to all directions, and the ends of those fiber bundles gradually grow. It becomes a new photosphere, and the photosphere stretches out fiber bundles again and again, endlessly. The ball of light beats rhythmically like a heart, and every contraction and relaxation will cause the surrounding air to vibrate visibly to the naked eye. Although it is only the size of a palm, the energy contained in it is still daunting.

Xia Changdian was taken aback, with a surprised expression: "This... this is not..."

Qian Erbai casually picked up a tiny ball of light that had strayed off the road, sent it back on track, and explained it to Xia Changdian in a calm manner. Listen: "This is the ball of light you saw at the headquarters. We call it 'Origin'. The existence of missionaries depends on the power of 'Origin'. And I am the next 'Origin'. Lord."

Xia Changdian opened his mouth slightly, looked up and down Qian Erbai in disbelief, after a long time, he suddenly laughed with a "poof": "Brother, you look like a second grader."

Qian Erbai was startled for a moment, then smiled too, the light ball disappeared, and the overhead light came back on.

Once his identity changed drastically, he seemed to be under a heavy pressure. Qian Erbai himself was still digesting it, so he didn't want Xia Changdian to worry more about him. Regardless of whether Xia Changdian's interruption was due to his ignorance or his intention to pretend to be confused, Qian Erbai didn't go into it, he took Xia Changdian into his arms and patted it, and tenderly opened the page.

Xia Changdian buried his head in Qian Erbai's chest, his breath was filled with the cold smell of his lover. He remembered a dream he had a long time ago. The man in the dream was domineering and enthusiastic, but his breath was like the cold wind and snow in winter. A living person—now he smelled that scent again, but the strong heartbeat in his ear and the burning warmth in his palm were very different from his dream. Xia Changdian closed his eyes, and quietly put away the smile on the corner of his mouth.

Qian Erbai stroked the back of the man in his arms one after another, his deep eyes that seemed to carry the entire universe were half closed, and there was no expression of joy or anger on his face. Xia Changdian lay quietly, with his arms around Qian Erbai's waist, as if he had fallen asleep.

The lights in the cabin dimmed, and the nebula and comet that flashed by outside the window, like fireworks, occasionally illuminated the two huddled together. There was a short moment of brilliance and excitement, but it returned to silence in an instant.

Xia Changdian tightened his arms, and suddenly asked: "Brother, are you staying at the headquarters from now on?"

Qian Erbai was silent for a moment, and avoided answering: "Mr. Chu is in his prime."

Xia Changdian understood and stopped asking. Thinking of the handsome middle-aged uncle who was somewhat similar in appearance to Qian Erbai, but with a more peaceful temperament, a doubt arose in his heart: "Did Mr. Chu ever be a tasker?" Why is he somewhat similar to his brother?

Qian Erbai smiled, and said: "Do you still remember the Taoist priest who gave me a name in a certain world I said? That is Mr. Chu. But he was not what he is now. I guess he knew you were here, and he wanted to Just kidding with you." This indirectly clarifies that the two are not related.

Xia Changdian nodded, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly slyly. He didn't mention the thick red envelope that Mr. Chu secretly gave him that day, saying that Qian Erbai was "straightforward and incomprehensible", and asked him to "take care of everything", and said that if he was wronged, "you don't have to hold back." In my heart, as long as I regard Chu as an elder in the family, I will tell Qian Erbai about "making decisions" for him without fear of suing or complaining.

This time they received a call from the headquarters in a hurry, and the two left in a hurry. Many things were not properly arranged in time, so they had to leave a message saying that they had to deal with some urgent private matters. Now that they were done with the "urgent matter" at the headquarters, the two rushed back non-stop, and they lost a lot of time going back and forth. Fortunately, the headquarters has a lot of means to beat the time difference. Mr. Chu knew that his "prince" was caught by the use of public power for private purposes, so he hurriedly approved a space-time spaceship for Qian Erbai and his wife in order to pay off the crime. To be able to return to the small world before the banquet.

In fact, Mr. Chu urgently recalled Qian Erbai back to the headquarters. Apart from handing over the memory in advance, clarifying his identity as the "heir to the headquarters" and other serious matters, there are some other small things that he wants to take care of. For example, Xia Changdian, his child followed Qian Erbai for several worlds without complaint, and after suffering so much, he must be given a title, right? So this time, Xia Changdian was taught to show his face in the headquarters as Qian Erbai's family member.

In the headquarters, several people who had met in the world of ghosts before—such as Yu Shu, such as Mr. Wu who is always in the form of a black mist—Xia Changdian also met this time: Yu Shu is still smiling With a respectful and humble appearance, he didn't call Xia Changdian "Ms. Mistress" anymore, but called "Mr. Xia" in a decent manner; Heiwu couldn't see his face, and stood silently aside. Seeing Xia Changdian looking at him, he nodded slightly, and then silently Turning around without making a sound, he walked away, with a four or five-year-old doll hanging on his lap, following his movements in step, the two furry bear ears on the top of his head trembling cautiously, showing innocence . But Xia Changdian, who had suffered a lot from this brat, couldn't help shivering - the kid who hugged his thighs looked exactly like the selection from the ghost world, or the big devil king, when he saw that face , the history of being aggrieved more than a hundred years ago involuntarily came to mind. Fortunately, those two people were sensible and left voluntarily, otherwise Xia Changdian might lose his composure on the spot and do something disgraceful like beating the underage Tong in public.

It is already a certainty that Xia Changdian will become Qian Erbai's legal partner, but the rules are the rules, but the procedures that must be followed are still the same, so the two need to seal off the memories of the past and present, and fall in love again in the new world. It is considered to complete the task and truly become a soul mate. Xia Changdian was worried for a moment when he heard this rule, but when he saw Yu Shu wink at him quietly, emphasizing that this rule "has made countless good couples" as if he was afraid that he would not understand, he knew the so-called "The Trial of True Love" was probably full of tricks, so I didn't feel too scared. Instead, I thought with some anticipation: If it happened again, which of the two would be tempted first?

But no matter how much you look forward to, you can only hold down your mind and wait. Right now, the two of them are still doing tasks in the small world, so it's not easy to quit halfway and leave a mess. Besides, he really likes the rare relaxation and comfort in this world now, and he doesn't want to live leave early. So the "next world begins" proposed by Mr. Chu is exactly what he wants.

Leaving the headquarters, Xia Changdian can be said to be returning home with a full load - in addition to Mr. Chu's red envelope, he also received a big gift bag selflessly gifted by Guangqiu, which contains the experience summaries of previous taskers. It seems that Brother Guangqiu is afraid of him He dragged Qian Erbai's hind legs, and came to give him a private tutoring lesson. In addition, 741 also suddenly felt settled down, took advantage of the opportunity to register for themselves, and became a regular employee of the headquarters since then. Xia Changdian also had technical guarantees, and there would be no such situation as before without a script, his eyes were black and his eyes were darkened, all relying on his acting skills up.

The spaceship continued to drive, and the cabin seemed to fall into silence again.

Not long after, Xia Changdian asked in a low voice: "How long is it?"

Qian Erbai glanced at the route map, and calmly said: "We'll be there in two days, let's sleep for a while." After

getting the answer, Xia Changdian didn't go out anymore. After a while, even and steady breathing sounded, this time I really fell asleep.

Qian Erbai kissed Xia Changdian's forehead, then hugged him a little tighter, and then closed his eyes to rest his mind, but his brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was not sleeping peacefully.

Fan's Manor.

Jessica got the script from the plot NPC, and the next day she was full of hesitation and prepared to kill the Quartet. But seeing that the three-day period mentioned in the script was coming to an end, she couldn't discuss a feasible countermeasure with her friends.

Although the girl was offline, the words "uninvited visitor on a thunderstorm night" and "danger is about to come" mentioned in the script were still spread in the manor. And Jessica also aroused the suspicion of her extremely insecure companions because of her foresight. Even Gloria secretly came to ask her if she was an "inner ghost" dubiously. Let go of her guard, and reluctantly believe that she is just a well-informed "ordinary person", but for her proposal of "uniting to fight against external crises", because she didn't see any crisis, not even the slightest sign of crisis. I can't see it, so everyone's enthusiasm is not very high. Even though Jessica talks about it, her alliance career still hasn't improved at all.

Jessica had no choice but to watch the sky every day and night, waiting for the arrival of the thunderstorm night with trepidation.

Finally, the fifth day was a thunderstorm day, the thunder was rampant, the rain was torrential, and the momentum did not stop until the evening. Bean-sized raindrops slammed down and splashed high on the stone-paved road.

Jessica lay at the window and sighed. She stared at the heavy rain outside for a while, and finally looked away resentfully, and fell on her back on the bed. "Let it go, there won't really be vampires." She thought to herself, closed her eyes, and fell asleep after a while accompanied by the thunder.

At night, when the thunderstorm subsided, three carriages stopped outside the gate of the manor. Under the cover of the thunder, several gunshots were faintly heard.

In the early morning of the second day, the rain was over and the sky cleared up. The servants gathered together in small groups and whispered about the events of last night.

The butler led a group of law enforcement officers in black robes and walked over in a mighty manner. He stood still at the stone steps, covered his lips with his fist and coughed softly, and the venue was suddenly silent. The housekeeper was very satisfied, he casually dismissed last night's commotion, and then ordered everyone not to go out without permission, and offenders will be punished severely. In order to ensure the implementation of the martial law, he also left the law enforcement team he brought in the servants' dormitory, called protection, but actually monitoring everyone to prevent anyone from acting rashly.

After these actions, everyone in the servant dormitory felt insecure, and various pessimism and conspiracy theories emerged in endlessly. The rumors intensified under the secret manipulation and promotion of those who wanted to, and the whole manor was shrouded in an atmosphere of extreme tension.

A day later, the steward withdrew the law enforcement team and reassured everyone that the crisis had been resolved, and everything would go on as usual from now on. None of the people present dared to speak up, but they suddenly exploded when the butler walked away.

This one said, "Firstly, the female hostel was thieves, and then came the robbers with guns. I'm afraid the manor is going to be in bad luck. It's better to resign and leave as soon as possible." The other said, "Where are the thieves and robbers? The hunter chased an old vampire who lived for thousands of years and broke into the manor. Haven't you seen that many people have disappeared inexplicably recently?" As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and gasped voices followed one after another.

Seeing everyone's gazes on his face, the cleaner who said this couldn't help feeling complacent, but he still pretended to be nervous and worried and sighed: "Hey, I eat enough for one person and the whole family is not hungry. , otherwise I would have paid my wages and gone home, and my life is hanging by a thread here, how can I be happy to be with my family in good health."

Hearing what he said, everyone couldn't help nodding their heads, and someone stood up immediately I have to pack my bags, quit my job and go home. The man saw more and more people leaving, and the light in his eyes became brighter. He tried his best to control the smile on his mouth, but it was a pity that the excitement was too strong, and it took a lot of effort to cover it up. But that The already unattractive face became even more distorted at this time. He hurriedly lowered his head, and because of this, he missed the searching gaze cast by one person.

At night, the cleaning boy who had finished his task was humming and walking towards the dormitory. He suddenly heard someone calling him behind him

. James, who went to put on a sack at night, finally believed Jessica's words at this time. It turned out that this manor was really not just for them to vacation, and the program team seemed to be laying a big banner.

Due to his lack of proficiency in sacking, James was not able to control the other party's actions immediately. During the struggle, the sweeper accidentally rubbed off the patch on the back, revealing a series of numbers.

Under James' dazed gaze, the sweeper sighed and said, "At least I've finished my lines, so I'm done." Then he handed over his ID card and mission props. James turned over a thin script among the props, with a look of sudden realization on his face. At the same time, he also knew where the news about Jessica's advance came from.

But because the two learned about this new way of playing in different ways, James only said that Jessica was hiding her secrets intentionally, so he was a little dissatisfied with her, so he found another opportunity, in front of all the tenants who could get together He made this new discovery public in front of the public, and while talking, he also observed Jessica's expression intentionally.

However, Jessica didn't panic as he thought, but instead showed a look of surprise and joy. After asking him how he discovered this secret, she let out a long breath with a relaxed smile on her face. She said: "Someone has discovered it, and I have been holding it in for a long time." Then, without waiting for anyone to ask, she finished her adventure in one breath, and then happily called James to share the two together. Compare and piece together the information obtained by people to see if they can come up with the program group's next plan, and make preparations early.

The other tenants learned that there is a way to change their identities, and they were eager to try it. Gloria immediately wanted to find a maid to try it out. The closer you are, the easier it is to do everything.

Jessica hurriedly stopped her, and explained the limitations and meaning of the rules of the game that she knew, emphasizing that if the patch on the back is torn off, it means that the person has been "killed". The more people there are, the more troubles they will face in the future, and not all NPCs have numbers
