Neverland

The cleaning tasks of Neverland are obsession greater than hope, so they can be captured by the system and included in the task processing column.The hydrangea in Zhong Lu's hand was far from up to standard, and could only be artificially selected.

"This is not a normal task." Yan Cen leaned against the door with folded arms and said, "What is it?"

"It's the obsession to guide the mission." Zhong Lu said: "Just reaching this point has already had a great impact on the timeline. This has to be dealt with, and I can't help it if I come to you."

Zhong Lu said so, Yan Cen still didn't understand.In the recent period, there is only one abnormal timeline in Neverland due to the deviation of the guidance task.

——The one that Song Yan went to.

Yan Cen frowned, and took the folder from Zhong Lu's arms.He only opened it for a glance, then patted the thing back into Zhong Lu's arms.

"No." Yan Cen refused very simply: "This task is postponed, and I will deal with it myself later."

"It's too late." Zhong Lu said: "After Song Yan, all the staff who went to carry out this guiding task failed, and as their number increased, the progress of the obsession on this pendant became faster and faster. It's getting closer and closer to the apex... There's no way, I can only let you go. You don't need to take care of the guiding task, you just need to clear her obsession, and I will take care of the rest."

"This is the future!" Yan Cen lowered his voice and resolutely said, "Can Mu Zhou go to the future! Do you still want him to return to the original world line!"

Neverland is independent of all timelines, which is equivalent to a higher space.For native workers like Yan Cen or Song Yan, they are not bound by "past" or "future". For them, time is just an axis on which the world relies.

But Xu Muzhou is not, he is a temporary employee who has to return to the original world.In essence, Xu Muzhou does not belong to Neverland.

For Xu Muzhou, time is irreversible, the past time is lost forever, and the future time is constantly shrinking.He can go to the "past" time to perform tasks without hindrance, because these times have already ended, and after he returns to the original world, he will not have any influence on the past time due to subjective reasons.

But the future is different.

The future is a new field that is about to come. Xu Muzhou is in the "past" and has the ability to influence the "future".A butterfly can cause a hurricane with a slight flap of its wings, let alone a thinking person.

It is true that Neverland will be amnesticized when releasing temporary employees, but there is no guarantee that this erasure will never cause trouble.Yan Cen knows Zhong Lu too well. This person takes the balance of the world line as his principle. If she judges that Xu Muzhou has an impact on the balance of the world line, she will never let him go.

"This is already the only way out." Zhong Lu gritted her teeth: "I'll tell you the truth, this world line is the center of gravity for the next stage of the world network. If there is a big problem with the leading characters, then..."

"Then you should ask Song Yan to go." Yan Cen was unmoved: "To untie the bell, you need someone to tie the bell. It will be more useful for her to do this than the two of us."

"When Song Yan left the timeline, she escaped with the excuse of death." Zhong Lu said: "Now let her go back and tell the task target that she is not dead? How do you want Neverland to balance this gap? If it causes greater emotions How about a rebound."

Yan Cen didn't speak.

"And judging from the key points captured by the Neverland system, I suspect that the task object has a tendency to self-destruct." Zhong Lu said: "If the task object's life trajectory deviates from the preset world line, what will be the consequences? I also know... Yan Cen, even if you and Song Yan are not friends, you have been colleagues for so many years."

Yan Cen was still silent, he turned his head and glanced at the door of the room.

Xu Muzhou hasn't come out yet, so he doesn't know what he's fussing about in the room.

"I promise." Zhong Lu knew what he cared about, and promised first: "This is a special situation, and I will not change any working conditions that I have promised Xu Muzhou because of this. And this time is considered special overtime, never Xiang thanked him for his help, and after his mission period is over, I can personally make a promise—as long as I can achieve it.”

Zhong Lu's attitude is the same as that of Neverland. Her promise is not easy to obtain, and it is also extremely precious.

Yan Cen pursed his lips, his attitude relaxed a little.He took the document from Zhong Lu, lowered his head and flipped through the content of the document.

"Where are the other guides who have contact with the task target?" Yan Cen said without raising his head, "Call to see me."

"...This is the second question." Zhong Lu sighed: "They have received certain mental damage in the world line and are dormant."

"All?" Yan Cen asked.

"Yes." Zhong Lu said: "I checked the video records of Neverland, but I couldn't find an intuitive reason. This shows that the cause of their mental damage is not the real society."

Yan Cen frowned, skipped the previous task assessment, and directly flipped the document in his hand to the column of basic information.

"The development of technology in this era is already very high-end." Yan Cen replied while looking at the document: "I haven't been there a few times."

"I also studied this when I was adjusting gears in the background. In this timeline, the development of military technology and biotechnology has almost reached its peak... This is why this timeline is particularly important." Zhong Lu frowned. , said: "In short, this world line is not easy to handle, you and Xu Muzhou should also be cautious."

"What if the mission fails." Yan Cen said: "How to calculate."

Zhong Lu originally wanted to say that there should be no problem with you, but when she saw Yan Cen's expression of "I will never work until I give a satisfactory answer", she swallowed the words back and squeezed out a smile: " Treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor, it doesn't matter whether it succeeds or fails... If it fails, treat it as if it never happened, and if it succeeds, count it in Xu Muzhou's mission progress."

Yan Cen lion opened his mouth, took advantage of the fire and robbed Zhong Lu of many benefits, and got her guarantee, so he let go and agreed to take on this task.

"When are you going?" Yan Cen asked.

"I'll arrange your route now." Zhong Lu breathed a sigh of relief: "You have to set off in six hours at the latest."

"The guide is dormant, what about the file records." Yan Cen said: "Give me all the records that can be found."

Zhong Lu knew Yan Cen well. Although he was reluctant to accept this task, since he agreed, he would go all out.

"Okay, I'll send it off later." Zhong Lu said, "But you'd better be mentally prepared."

"There is little information?" Yan Cen asked.

"Yes." Zhong Lu said: "The new guides without exception have not gained the trust of the task target, so that they have very little time to really get along with each other, and even fewer are caught... With all due respect, there may still be It's better to ask Song Yan sooner."

"...Why do you want to ask Sister Song Yan?"

Zhong Lu turned her head and found that Xu Muzhou came out of Yan Cen's bedroom while wiping his hair. He just took a shower and changed into pajamas again.

He probably only heard the last sentence, and looked blankly at Zhong Lu, then at Yan Cen.

"A new mission?" Xu Muzhou asked.

"Yeah." Yan Cen took a moment to glance at Xu Muzhou from the document, then returned his gaze to the document, reached out and picked up the corner of the towel without raising his head, and wiped off the back of Xu Muzhou's ears A small piece of shampoo foam that didn't wash off.

His movements were smooth and flowing, and by the time Xu Muzhou realized it, the towel had been stuffed back into his hand.

Zhong Lu: "..."

Xu Muzhou smiled dryly at Zhong Lu, and pulled out another document from Yan Cen's hand, a slight blush appeared on the tips of his ears.

After a while, Yan Cen had probably finished reading the information. He closed the file and said to Zhong Lu, "I see. I will handle the rest myself."

Zhong Lu felt relieved, she had to rush to deal with other problems, so she put the pendant into Xu Muzhou's hand, and said seriously: "Yan Cen will tell you the specific things, work hard."

Xu Muzhou peeped out his eyes from the edge of the towel, and only had time to see Zhong Lu's back leaving in a hurry.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Xu Muzhou muttered, wiped the ends of his hair indiscriminately, hung the towel around his neck, and walked into the room with the folder in his arms.

"She's going to have a headache." Yan Cen said gloatingly, "Song Yan made her a mess."

Xu Muzhou was taken aback, and sat on the sofa to open the document hastily, after just a few glances, he realized what Yan Cen meant.

"...No way." Xu Muzhou looked at Yan Cen in embarrassment: "How do we do this task?"

"Do it normally." Yan Cen sat beside him, calming down in a relaxed tone: "Look, we don't have to guess, and go straight to the point, let the task target forget about Song Yan, or empathize with him, and it's over."

What Yan Cen said made sense, but Xu Muzhou always felt weird.After all, he and Song Yan also got along with each other in a mission world, and now they want to run to make her sweetheart empathize with each other, and always feel that something is wrong.

There is a feeling of guilty conscience of beating a mandarin duck with a stick.

"Does Sister Song Yan know about this?" Xu Muzhou asked a very realistic question.

"I will know soon." Yan Cen said: "After all, she will be our main source of mission information."

"Are you going to ask Sister Song Yan?" Xu Muzhou clicked his tongue: "I think your heart may be made of iron."

"According to what she said, the object of this task is a good boy like a strawberry milk cake, but I think Zhong Lu's expression is not that simple." Yan Cen said: "There is no one who will guide you to that timeline. Exceptionally, I stumbled on this strawberry shortcake, and I'm still on sick leave."

Xu Muzhou was dumbfounded.

"Then..." Xu Muzhou sighed with difficulty, "What kind of girl is she?"

"So I have to ask Song Yan herself." Yan Cen said, throwing the things in his hand on the coffee table, and stood up first: "Let's go, we only have six hours."
