Let me live [Quick Transmigration]

----

Lu You woke up too early today, and went out early. It was only after eight o'clock when he arrived at the company. When he entered the office, he found that everyone came very early today, and half of the seats were occupied. I don't care if I come or not, and even if I come, the official working time is not until nine o'clock. This can already be regarded as a miraculous attendance rate.On the phone, Lu You heard that the team leader said that it was not urgent, and thought that he had just received some urgent work that was not suitable for transmission through the Internet. Now the atmosphere in the office made him feel a little uneasy, as if something big was about to happen.

He found his seat, and found that someone sat in his seat and ate biscuits after get off work last night. They ate very carelessly, leaving fine biscuit crumbs on the table.Lu You moved the chair away in disgust, dusted the debris on the ground, and cleaned it with a broom.The bad thing is that the work atmosphere is loose, there is no private territory - the pens he left on the table often disappear, and sometimes there are a few more for no reason; There are only two left, and I don't know who steals other people's food and is so cruel.

So even if you can get rid of Qi Zhengyun's close entanglement by coming to work, Lu You sometimes prefers to stay at home.Rather than being approached by familiar colleagues to ask questions, or walking behind his back while he was working, it would be better to have a quiet and silent Qi Zhengyun standing by, and Qi Zhengyun would even cut fruit for him.At first Lu You really felt like being a prisoner under guard, which was a bit uncomfortable, but now he is used to it anyway.

The ground under the table seemed to have been overturned by the drink, and the broom swept it over and it was sticky. Lu You was really convinced, so he had to go to get the mop again.It took more than ten minutes to restore the seat to tidy. Not long after sitting down, the door of the meeting room opened. The team leader He Xue leaned out with a folder and waved to Lu You when she saw him.

He Xuenian is nearly thirty and is a workaholic who seems to have boundless energy.There is a blood patient in her family, and the expenses are huge. While taking care of the patient, she desperately takes orders to make money. She usually talks and walks in a hurry.Lu You was called over by her, and before she even had time to say hello, she dragged and gave orders, and then shoved the folder into his hand, telling him to read it quickly and wait for half an hour for the meeting.

Although she acted vigorously and vigorously as usual, He Xue's condition looked quite bad.Her voice became hoarse, her face was so bad that even makeup couldn't hide it, and her eyes were bloodshot. She probably either stayed up late to work or stayed with patients in the hospital last night.But she used to be a strong person who could keep looking good after working overtime for a week. Lu You had never seen her look so tired.

He Xue didn't give Lu You any time to care. As soon as he finished talking about his work, he immediately left in a hurry to attend to other things.Lu You returned to his seat with the documents, and quickly found a pen and paper to write down all the things He Xue said before, so as not to forget them after a long time.At first, He Xue would ask him to repeat it after he finished speaking, but later it became a casual question "Do you remember?", and now he doesn't even ask this sentence.Lu You is more careful in his work, and has a good habit of making notes and organizing formats, which can save a lot of effort for the team leader in charge of acceptance.

So Lu You began to immerse himself in his work, pausing to go to a meeting in the middle, and returning to continue working after the meeting.When it was close to noon, Qi Zhengyun sent a message, asking if he would like to have dinner at the downstairs restaurant together at noon. Lu You read all the materials in the photocopied version this morning with small and blurred characters. She deliberately refused to bother with him any more, and agreed casually.

After replying to the message, Lu You sat on the chair and stretched, moving his stiff shoulders.He picked up the cup and wanted to drink some water, only to realize that he had completely forgotten to make tea when he came in the morning, and he felt a little unaccustomed to it for a while—not to mention anything else, he was indeed about to be spoiled by Qi Zhengyun in these details of life.He took the mug to the pantry and was about to pour a cup of coffee, when he found someone sitting on the small sofa at the bar.

Lu You didn't pay attention to that person at first.He put the cup down and pressed the button, and the coffee maker hummed.While waiting, Lu You inadvertently glanced at the small sofa again, and saw the man leaning against the corner of the sofa, tilting his head, seemed to be in a deep sleep, and had no reaction to the movement Lu You made while making coffee. No.Lu You paid attention to him for a while, and found that he really didn't move, as if he couldn't even see the ups and downs of his chest breathing... Moreover, the man's face was pale, turning blue.

Lu You vaguely had a bad feeling.The coffee machine in front of him stopped, and he took the cup to the side, and couldn't help but look there a few times while adding sugar and milk to it.Just when he finally couldn't help but want to go over to see if this unfamiliar colleague really died suddenly while sleeping in the office, the man suddenly moved: his upper body stood up stiffly, from halfway up The lying posture changed to a sitting posture, but his head was still not straightened; after maintaining this weird posture for a few seconds, which seemed like a stiff neck and he couldn't move his neck, he fell back on the sofa the same way, and regained his stillness again.

Although the man's movements were very weird, as if he was acting in a zombie movie, but after all, he was moving. Lu You heaved a sigh of relief and gave up the idea of ​​going to check.He had just recognized who that person was: a newcomer who had just joined the job not long ago, and in his impression he was a bluffing, bouncing person all day long, so energetic that he could compete with He Xue.It is rare and rare for such a person to actually collapse on the sofa and sleep to death.

Lu You was not familiar with this new colleague, so he forgot about it when he returned to his seat with coffee.After he sat down, he read the materials again, and seeing that it was almost time to make an appointment with Qi Zhengyun, he began to pack his things and prepare for lunch.He Xue, who disappeared after the meeting in the morning, came in from the office door at this time, carrying a small cardboard box in her hand, walked straight to Lu You's desk, and put the delicately packaged cardboard box on Lu You's desk. on the table.

After not seeing her for several hours, He Xue's face became more tired, with thick dark circles under her eyes, and the red blood on the whites of her eyes was so dense that it looked scary.Even when she opened her mouth, her voice was very hoarse, "Little Lu, is your birthday the day after tomorrow?" She said, leaning against the edge of the table as if she was too tired to stand still, "I'm a few days later I don’t even have time to come to the company, so I’ll give you a gift first. It’s the biscuit I just bought at the bakery downstairs. It seems to be very popular among young people recently... You can take it and eat it as you like, don’t hate you It's fine if you don't mind when you send it."

There is a sweet and warm smell coming out of the carton. "Thank you, team leader." Lu You said quickly.He Xue calls herself "Sister He", but she prefers her subordinates to call her that.He saw that He Xue's state was really not right, as if he didn't notice it, he stood up from the chair as if he was in a hurry to go back to work.But Lu You knew the situation of He Xue's family, and he didn't know what to persuade her. In desperation, he only said this sentence: "The team leader...have you had lunch yet?"

"What lunch, I'm too busy to breathe." He Xue also joked, "I'm finishing up my work, and I have to finish it before I get off work today. Don't worry, I'll go to the lounge when I'm free. Just grab a sandwich and eat it." She waved to Lu You, turned and left.Lu You watched her back hurriedly away helplessly, picked up the paper box on the table and had a look.

birthday...

Probably due to the influence of the summer vacation after graduating from high school, he and Qi Zhengyun made travel arrangements for this day in the next few years. Although they had never been to the beach again, and the tourist destinations became closer and closer, they simply went to the next city last year.However, Lu You didn't have any special plans for a long trip. At that time, there were several exhibitions in the neighboring city that he really wanted to see, so he still had a good time.

As for this year?Qi Zhengyun is not in the habit of making surprise surprises, he knows that Lu You hates that.Since he hasn't expressed anything so far, it is likely that he is going to stay at home directly.

Lu You felt that Qi Zhengyun was not only lustful for control...and other desires were too strong, he probably also had delusions of being persecuted.Because while restricting him, that guy even locked himself up, and he never felt that he had done anything wrong.In order to make Qi Zhengyun feel the anguish of being closely watched all the time, Lu You imitated Qi Zhengyun's practice and stuck to him all day long. This strategy Lu You persisted tenaciously for half a month, and in the end it remained the same in Qi Zhengyun. The attitude of enjoyment is declared premature.

The paper box was tied with a blue ribbon, and the food would spoil if it was opened on the birthday—this was not considered when buying the gift, and Lu You felt that He Xue must be really exhausted today. Let the mind become dull.He untied the ribbon, opened the box, and saw that there were cream sandwich biscuits in the shape of a panda.

...I'll make a cake at home on my birthday, Lu You thought.This is also a kind of celebration.If Qi Zhengyun has no other arrangements then.He closed the box again, ready to take it down to eat with Qi Zhengyun.The birthday wishes and the aroma of the biscuits made him feel better, and the awkwardness between him and Qi Zhengyun before he came also subconsciously dissipated.

----

Qi Zhengyun and Lu You had lunch together, went to the company for a tour in the afternoon, and were respectfully invited into the office by the boss who heard the news—after all, his current position is just a name, and his actual job is to ensure this The safety of the personnel in the entire office building: Don’t let them be regarded as work-related injuries if they are bitten by monsters that appear from anywhere during working hours. How often things happen.

Lu You works here, expelling monsters to keep him safe is what Qi Zhengyun must do, so he is actually getting paid for nothing.Qi Zhengyun originally wanted to do some practical things, such as implementing the holographic technology in the previous virtual world, but found that the rules of the virtual world are different from the current world, let alone copying them, even as a reference; he deliberately learned them again The computers of this world are finally stuck on the issues of materials and precision.And then... there were more important things that required him to fully devote his energy, so his research in this area came to an end, and a few by-products that he got in the middle of the process were anonymously sent to the research institute and handed over to others.

Qi Zhengyun originally thought that Lu You's cooperation with him was so high in this reincarnation, and he had solved many difficult monsters in advance, so the difficulty should be lower than before.But it turns out that he thought too well: first of all, there are countless ways for monsters to emerge, and some of them are annoying enough just after they are born; secondly, the "rust" encountered in the sea last time was solved by him , and then similar things appeared elsewhere. Qi Zhengyun was worried about bringing Lu You there in the name of tourism, and even less worried about leaving Lu You there in the name of business trips. He felt that the world was like a patient with frequent vicious diseases. He was forced to become an attending doctor who was busy rescuing patients all day long and was so annoyed that he wanted to take the initiative to stab the patient to death...

In the end, his powers were running out.The efficiency of getting replenishment after consumption is extremely low, and the result of trying to hunt other monsters is to cause more energy floating in the air that does not obey.Qi Zhengyun often feels recently that the world seems to be filled with a huge monster that no one can see, and even monsters can't fathom. Those so-called "ownerless" energies that cannot be used are actually swallowed by it...

It keeps eating in its sleep, and the visions similar to "rust" are its occasional yawns and turning over.As for what will happen in this world if it wakes up completely one day, Qi Zhengyun doesn't even dare to think about it.The reason why he can still maintain his "notoriety" prestige among monsters now that his strength is constantly weakening is purely because similar things happened to other monsters, or even more serious.

He's been having a sense of foreboding lately, and it's only getting stronger as the day progresses.In the past few years, he has been running around to eliminate those abnormal behaviors, delaying the coming of a certain change-but it will come eventually, Qi Zhengyun clearly felt it.It was something that even his strength at his strongest might not be able to stop... It was like the sound of the whole world going into decline...

What Qi Zhengyun is most concerned about now is the end condition that God's projection once promised him: delaying enough time.In the previous several reincarnations, his longest record was only more than two years, but this time it was six years.Is six years enough?Can he get some kind of reminder when the conditions are met, or can he just try his best to prolong Lu You's life, waiting for the result of restarting or waking up after his death like a gambling opening?

He wanted to find a way to break the game, but he never found it.Later, he began to suspect that the beginning of this reincarnation was a mistake, rather than an opportunity he guessed before, but this kind of suspicion was a bit too desperate, and he felt that it was not in the taste of God to play out a doomed tragedy with great fanfare, so Qi Zhengyun tried his best. Avoid dwelling on this doubt.

Fortunately, as long as he was by Lu You's side and focused on the present, he could easily be happy, so that Lu You didn't notice these heavy emotions.Although this kind of emotion has affected his behavior after all, he also knows that this kind of behavior is like a slow poison that is eroding the relationship between him and Lu You... It's like stepping on the road of using "love" to force his lover to flee the old way.

However, if he doesn't do this, and doesn't check Lu You's safety all the time, how can he rest assured—?

Qi Zhengyun sat in the office for a while, impatient with the boss's flattery and temptation, got up and left.In the past, he didn't bother to say anything before he left. If someone likes to over-interpret and scare himself, then let them go. Now he is deaf to the shattered voice and still working hard to maintain life and work. A tinge of pity—the pity of a helpless man who is more aware, but less sure that he can protect the one he loves.

"I'll go upstairs and have a look," he said to his boss.Knowing that the guardian, who looked bad-tempered, left to go on patrol, the boss happily sent him out of the house again.

Part of the lower floor of the office building is integrated with the shopping mall. Qi Zhengyun stepped on the escalator, looking down at the people below while being led up and up.He could see the weary and stiff expressions of those people, the red bloodshot eyes; some were as slow as falling asleep, but it seemed that they were just too tired, too boring and numb.

The people working here have a depressed atmosphere, as if driven by some factors, they are gradually becoming the "walking dead" who laugh at themselves like jokes on weekdays——
