Neverland

Yan Cen didn't realize that he was "interrogated" at all, and he automatically vomited out the whole story, Xu Muzhou's several cliché scripts were useless.

In fact, Xu Muzhou was wrong to blame Yan Cen. Although someone had a few previous convictions for not telling the truth, it was all for covering the vest of Neverland so that he would not find out.As a result, Xu Muzhou finished beating the final boss of the game. The game has already jumped out of the S-level rating. It seems that the real CG has started to be played, so there is nothing worth hiding.

Yan Cen explained so neatly, Xu Muzhou couldn't say anything more.

"Speaking of which, why did you leave clues with flaws?" Xu Muzhou asked.

This is also something he can't figure out. Although he thought of the omissions of those clues on the way and turned back and missed Ji Dong's actions at the police station, if there were no clues, he would probably be dragged outside. It is safer than turning back halfway.

"Because I understand you." Yan Cen said: "In this world, including Qi Yuan, none of them can be called my opponent - but you are different, I have to be more cautious."

Xu Muzhou: "..."

As the "fool" who has been charging forward in this game of chess, Xu Muzhou felt that Yan Cen's words had too much filter.

In this unconscious confrontation, Yan Cen won thoroughly.

"That's because it only took more than two days from the moment of Xu Kang's death to the end of this game." Yan Cen said, "I knew from the beginning that if this case drags on for three days, you will be killed." The real murderer will be found."

"In fact, you are already very close to the truth." Yan Cen said: "If I don't hold you back with false clues, you will most likely go to the traffic police first, and then check the driving records and vehicle conditions - and then you will find out that this The car is driven by Qi Yuan, if you find this, Qi Yuan's car meeting scam will be cracked by you first."

Xu Muzhou rubbed his fingers, knowing that he was right.

At that time, he already suspected that there was more than one murderer. If he found out that the Ace of Spades who called was Qi Yuan who was driving a forensic car, then he would at least bring down two people in a row. In fact, it is easy to deduce what happened next.

And if these three murder cases are regarded as independent cases, the remaining two cases are actually not difficult to handle.

Whether He Beibei or Qin Huai, they are not as meticulous as Yan Cen in creating misleading clues, and even leave many loopholes and clues because of "ignorance in business".

——It's like the monitoring that appeared in Fu Sihan's school.

If Xu Muzhou was given another day... no, six hours, he would indeed be able to solve the case.

"It's very interesting." Yan Cen smiled and appreciated: "I haven't enjoyed this sense of urgency in a state of confrontation for a long time-the higher the game, the higher the experience and experience."

——Humble, Xu Muzhou thought.

In this world, Yan Cen's every move, every word, every expression has a purpose, Xu Muzhou felt ashamed of himself for being so cautious and secretive.

"Excellent." Xu Muzhou praised sincerely.

He boasted sincerely and frankly, expressing appreciation for Yan Cen's layout from the opponent's point of view.

In this world, the two of them are like two fully drawn bowstrings, and neither of them relaxes.However, Xu Muzhou still suffers from no memory. If he still has an impression of Yan Cen, he may point the finger of suspicion at him the moment he sees the scene.

"But it's not as strict as you think." Yan Cen said: "I have a purpose for everyone, but not for you—I got into your car just because I wanted to get into your car."

Xu Muzhou: "..."

Xu Muzhou didn't really want to make trouble with him.

From what Yan Cen said, it can be seen that this mission is to "erase" these people. In fact, Yan Cen only killed one person to achieve his goal, but if he lost his memory instead, the mission would be completely destroyed. If Xu Muzhou took his identity as his own, he would probably kill more than one person.

It is true that he will definitely complete this task, but after all, the more people he kills, the more damage he will do to himself.

From a completely rational point of view, Yan Cen is indeed a more suitable candidate for the task than him in terms of minimizing damage.

"You..." Xu Muzhou didn't know what to say, and the thousand words could only be turned into a weak sigh: "Forget it."

The setting sun was swallowed by the sea level unconsciously, and only the last third was left outside. The light on the sea surface was getting less and less, and the moon had faintly appeared behind the high clouds.

Xu Muzhou stood by the sea and looked far into the distance. He watched the rest of the setting sun fall below the surface of the sea, and then asked: "I wanted to ask before, since this is the world of the dead, why is there a sun and a moon, and even The system that 24 hours is a day is also retained."

"It's to make us feel more like 'human beings'." Yan Cen said: "The sun rises and the moon sets, and we eat three meals a day... We all know Zhong Lu's good intentions."

The work system is still used, and the image and environment of Neverland will be updated with the development of the world line. To a certain extent, it will indeed reduce the sense of detachment between the employees of Neverland and ordinary humans to a certain extent.

"It's quite human." Xu Muzhou retracted his gaze, tilted his head to look at Yan Cen, and elongated his tone inexplicably: "It's very good for all of you—the taste of the cafeteria sometimes changes, like It is the craftsmanship of different masters. Neverland can purchase items from the world, as well as work salary, point distribution system, etc. In order to make your life not like a stagnant pool, Zhong Lu has also made a lot of efforts."

Xu Muzhou picked up a small round and flat pebble from the ground, and threw it vigorously towards the surface of the sea. The pebble bounced four or five times on the surface of the water and fell into the bottomless sea .

"Part of it is because of us." Yan Cen put his hands in his pockets and said calmly, "But more is to prevent Neverland from repeating the same mistakes. For Zhong Lu, the normal operation of the world line and the dignity of maintaining the rules are the key points. On this basis, the remaining energy can be used to 'take care' of employees."

Now that the words have come to this point, Xu Muzhou's mind moved, and he couldn't help probing a few more words: "The employees of Never Township are important people who have changed the fate... Then how did you get here?"

Before Yan Cen could speak, Xu Muzhou immediately added: "Of course, if you don't want to say it, you don't have to say it."

"It's nothing, it's not spectacular at all, but it's a bit embarrassing." Yan Cen said: "The last wave of staff was because they were too detached from the world... After people died, they were resentful at first and wanted to return to the world, but then they found themselves After you can control the fate of ordinary people, this kind of mood will gradually change."

"It has become a kind of condescending controlling psychology." Xu Muzhou said: "It is a derivative of revenge psychology."

"That's right." Yan Cen affirmed: "So they started from simple guidance, and later began to have selfishness, wanting to control the task object, and later became more and more dissatisfied, and even wanted to control the world line and ordinary people's life by themselves. Destiny. As for me... In fact, in a word-my guide didn't come to me at all, but artificially controlled another person."

Xu Muzhou frowned: "...what?"

"The guide went to mine..." Yan Cen paused, his eyes glanced down unconsciously, as if he was phrasing.

"I went to my theoretical competitor." Yan Cen said: "Then he helped him and tried to kill me."

Xu Muzhou was stunned for a moment.

Without waiting for Xu Muzhou to react, Yan Cen continued: "However, it is precisely because of the sudden death of the 'protagonist' of the World Line that the World Line sent out an important alarm, so that group of personnel was dealt with, and never The township was reorganized. It was also at that time that Yongwu Township had a "Zhong Lu" in charge of Yongwu Township, and formulated rules for Yongwu Township, and began to make risk warning mechanisms. Both Song Yan and I were at that time In Neverland, Song Yan is the 'supporting role' that the world is affected by."

Xu Muzhou didn't listen to the second half of Yan Cen's words.He only listened to the first half and found it hard to accept—first, he was cut off from the glorious future he should have without knowing anything, and because he "changed the path of fate", he had to stay in Neverland for thousands of years to do the same job.

Xu Muzhou didn't know what would happen to him if this kind of thing happened, and he couldn't even imagine it.

Xu Muzhou suddenly felt that saying anything in this situation seemed powerless. He opened his mouth, wanting to change the subject lamely, but felt a sudden chill on his face. There were tiny raindrops.

--It's raining.

The rain was very light, like the spring rain in the south of the Yangtze River. It was soft and gentle, and it would not wet the clothes when it fell on people.

But the weather in Neverland is not random. The worst time Xu Muzhou has ever seen was when Qin Wei came to Neverland. I don't know why this time.

"This--"

"It's raining." Yan Cen interrupted him, he reached out and rubbed Xu Muzhou's hair, and said, "Go back to dinner."

Yan Cen took Xu Muzhou's hand and walked back, casually asking, "What do you want to eat?"

"Roasted sweet potatoes." Xu Muzhou said.

Yan Cen: "..."

"In the last world, I couldn't be greedy." Xu Muzhou looked very serious, and even put forward his opinion: "Hey, it would be great if there was one that baked sweet cores."

All right, Yan Cen thought, the little fox tried to divert his attention at the same level as before.

It's a pity that the baked sweet potato didn't make it in the end.

When he reached the third floor, Yan Cen suddenly stopped and his eyes became very serious.Xu Muzhou saw it once, and he knew what the notification was probably. He waited patiently for three or four seconds before he returned to normal.

"Zhong Lu asked me to do a mission report." Yan Cen said.

"Now?" Xu Muzhou was a little surprised.

"Hmm." Yan Cen didn't seem surprised, and said, "The last mission had self-destructive behavior, which should be reported according to the regulations. It's normal—you go to eat first."

As Yan Cen said, he pinched the back of Xu Muzhou's neck, and continued to walk up the stairs.

Xu Muzhou and Yan Cen have been inseparable together for a while, this is the first time they have been separated.Xu Muzhou was not used to it, his desire for roasted sweet potatoes dropped sharply, and he lost his interest in eating.

So he simply turned into the corridor, ready to wait for Yan Cen to come back before going together, anyway, the cafeteria is always open.

It's just that Xu Muzhou just turned a corner, but unexpectedly saw someone who shouldn't be here at the door of his house.

——Zhong Lu was waiting for him at the door of 317 with a document in his hand.
