Neverland

Because of an accident, Neverland suspended the work of cleaning the system.

Yan Cen seems to be very busy these days, most of the time he can't find anyone, and whenever he asks, he is in a meeting with Zhong Lu.Xu Muzhou thinks it is understandable, after all, there are three system departments in Never Township, Yan Cen is the only commander left in the clean-up system, and he can be regarded as a manager only by his seniority.

Xu Muzhou is not qualified to participate in the internal management of Never Township, and he is not in the mood to join in the fun, so he spends most of his time in his room doing his own things.He applied for a bunch of small puzzle games and two mystery novels, which he used to pass the time these days.

Neverland probably really has no time rules. After the rain, it seems to be winter, and the temperature drops suddenly. Xu Muzhou even feels that the originally warm beach is covered with a thick layer of frost.

He asked Yan Cen about this matter, and the answer he got was somewhat unexpected.

"Neverland has no four seasons at all." Yan Cen was about to go out with a coat hanging in his arm, but he didn't get impatient when Xu Muzhou stopped him. There are two modes of 'normal' and 'abnormal', what you saw before is the normal state, and now Neverland is in turmoil, so it is normal to have this abnormal situation."

Yan Cen paused as he spoke, and said uncomfortably: "Don't worry, it will be fine when Song Yan's matter is resolved."

"I'm not worried..." Xu Muzhou said casually.

Xu Muzhou wasn't just being perfunctory, but he really wasn't worried about anything. After all, no matter what happened outside, the interior of Neverland was still like spring all year round, and the cafeteria was always open.Xu Muzhou is a very calm person, so not being able to go out has no effect on him.

But Yan Cen didn't know what happened these few days, Xu Muzhou always felt that the other party was weird.

He seems to have returned to the day of the first interview. He always felt that Yan Cen seemed to be observing him intentionally or unintentionally, but every time he looked in Yan Cen's direction, he found that the other party was just doing his own thing. Even Xu Muzhou couldn't help but feel strange, and finally he couldn't figure it out after much deliberation, he just thought that he didn't sleep enough, so he took a dark nap with the quilt covering his head.

The decision on Song Yan's punishment was formally finalized on the morning of the sixth day. Yan Cen stood in front of Zhong Lu's desk, holding a folder in his hand, and the corners of his lips were tightly pursed.

"Is this your decision?" Yan Cen asked.

"It's also the decision of Neverland." Zhong Lu was holding a thin rod of women's cigarette, and her red lips landed on the white cigarette holder, leaving an inexplicable and ambiguous mark.

"After all, Neverland will protect all employees." Zhong Lu said slowly: "No matter how big a mistake you make, Neverland will not expel you."

When Zhong Lu said this, the expression on her face was very calm.She sat behind the large desk, her eyes fell on the sea outside the window, what she said was completely opposite to her emotions, and she didn't seem to think it was something worth showing off.

"So you seconded her to clean up the system?" Yan Cen raised his eyebrows: "I'm already bringing in an intern."

"Isn't it good to find you a helper?" Zhong Lu asked back: "Besides, it's enough for you to bring her a mission world. Song Yan is an old employee. As long as she has experienced a world, she will know what to do."

"Cleaning the system is different from booting the system," Yan Cen said.

"You'll never come to the meeting either." Zhong Lu seemed determined, she didn't give Yan Cen any room to act, she glanced at Yan Cen, and said: "Besides, Xu Muzhou also adapts well Is it—or you bring Song Yan, and I give Xu Muzhou a new mission?"

"No need." Yan Cen's voice became colder: "I can bring it here."

"That's good." Zhong Lu smiled: "I found out when the mission was in transit last time... It seems that you really like that new colleague."

Yan Cen didn't want to answer this sentence, so he changed the subject abruptly: "Are you sure Song Yan will accept this decision of punishment?"

"She will." Zhong Lu said: "After all, for those who are concerned, 'alive' is more important than anything else."

Yan Cen raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes were between complicated and clean, and he only clearly expressed one meaning—is that right?

The transparent screen floating on the desktop emitted a faint light, and suddenly there were two beeps, and Zhong Lu lazily raised her hand to swipe across the air, and crossed out some message.

There were only the two of them in the office, standing and sitting, and it seemed that no one wanted to speak first.

"Neverland has existed for so many years, and there have always been three people in this room." In the end, Zhong Lu was the first to speak, her pale fingertips swipe the air casually, and said lightly: "This is the first time It's just you and me discussing matters, and I'm not used to it."

Yan Cen didn't intend to talk too much nonsense with her, he just said: "After dealing with Song Yan, who will take care of the guidance system in the future."

"The guidance system has a lot of people." Zhong Lu said: "Judging by qualifications and task completion, one can always be selected to manage things."

"What about the mission that Song Yan aborted." Yan Cen said: "The timeline has shifted, how are you going to deal with it?"

Zhong Lu frowned slightly, showing an impatient expression in a very short moment.

"I'll send a new guide to take over, and it's already here." Zhong Lu said, "Fortunately, the target of the mission is not very old. Maybe a good guide can eliminate the impact of this time."

Yan Cen nodded slightly.

"Why do you have to fall in love with the task target?" Zhong Lu sighed inexplicably: "Isn't it possible to solve it internally? I have to touch things that shouldn't be touched."

"Internal solution?" Yan Cen sneered, and said meanly: "The people in Yongwu Township, who doesn't know who, what kind of goods we are, don't you know yourself."

"Don't underestimate yourself, what's the difference between the mission object and us?" Zhong Lu looked at him meaningfully: "Even if it's different now, it will be the same sooner or later."

"Stop putting gold on your face." Yan Cen sneered: "The gate of Neverland is locked, what's going on inside, do you want me to tell you straight?"

"I know you guys are not having a good time." Zhong Lu said flatly: "But this is the responsibility. The world has the responsibility to run the world, and we have our own responsibilities. Neverland is still in operation, and you are still alive and standing Here, it means that most people, including you, have this awareness."

Zhong Lu raised her eyes and showed her trademark charming smile again: "Isn't it?"

——Of course, Yan Cen thought.

The time wheel above Neverland never stops, the tide rises and falls on the sea, the sun and the moon hang alternately in the sky, and life is still the same.

Only when the life in Neverland is good and stable, can this huge world maintain peace and continue to operate for thousands of years.

All the employees of Neverland, one counts as one, are born with this responsibility.

"I'm going to find Song Yan." Yan Cen said, "When is the next mission?"

"Don't worry." Zhong Lu blinked at him, and said in a relaxed tone: "There are too many of you this time, so it's a little more troublesome to apply for status—and with the fact that you and Song Yan are both here after a long time, it can be solved just right. Troublesome incidents, I have to choose one for you."

"It's up to you." Yan Cen paused: "Don't pick those real worlds of dead souls, Xu Muzhou is afraid of ghosts."

"Afraid of ghosts?" Zhong Lu seemed to have heard something funny, and looked at Yan Cen with rolling eyes, his eyes were filled with overflowing smiles, and even his voice could not help becoming lighter: "He is actually afraid of this?" .”

Zhong Lu covered her lips and giggled for a long time before saying, "Then you say—"

"Stop talking nonsense." Yan Cen's expression turned ugly from her smile, and he said coldly, "You choose carefully."

As he said that, he closed the folders in his hand, regardless of whether Zhong Lu had anything to say, he turned and left the office on his own.

Yan Cen had to tell Song Yan about it.

The secondment of the dual system is not a trivial matter, let alone the secondment of Song Yan, he has to go through a formality, and let Song Yan personally confirm that he is willing to be seconded.

——The trouble is dead, Yan Cen thought in a bad mood.

After Yongwuxiang formally finalized the punishment decision, it will make another notification to all staff. Yan Cen leaned on the handrail of the stairs for a few seconds to relieve the ensuing headache, and his mood became even worse.

Knowing that he would come, Song Yan opened the door for him ahead of time.When Yan Cen entered the room, Song Yan was leaning on the small bar at the end of the living room and looking at the door, she was holding a wine glass in her hand, leaving only a thin layer of bottom.Several wine bottles of different brands were scattered unsteadily on the countertop, and the room smelled of wine.

"Use wine to drown your sorrows?" Yan Cen said: "Then I suggest you go out and drink, the air purification system of Neverland has not been repaired yet."

Song Yan smiled drunkenly, pushed the wine glass aside, and stretched out her hand to Yan Cen: "Bring it here."

Yan Cen held the document and didn't give it to her. He said with disgust, "Drunkards don't have the ability to think. I suggest you sober up before deciding whether to accept this punishment."

"What if you don't accept it?" Song Yan said, "I want to go back to the guidance system. Guess Zhong Lu will agree?"

——Of course not, emotional entanglement with the task object is a taboo in guiding tasks, at least it is impossible for Song Yan to go back in a short time.

As for how many years this short period of time is, Yan Cen himself has no idea.

"Then it's over." Song Yan shook her body, reached out and pulled the document from Yan Cen's hand, and said, "Even if I can go back to the guidance system, I can't go to her side. Then It makes no difference whether you go back or not."

"I know you're worried about me." Song Yan said, "But for me, it might be good to have a different mood."

"I'm not worried about you." Yan Cen said in a cool tone, "I'm just worried that you can't stand the cleanup task, and you will destroy yourself in the end. Neverland will take this account on me."

"Don't worry, it won't happen." Song Yan took a pen from the back of the folder: "What's so good about self-destruction, those memories are enough for me to live - self-destruction is nothing. "

Song Yan didn't look at the punishment document, she turned to the last page, signed her name in a fluttering manner, and then handed the folder back to Yan Cen.

"In the future—" Song Yan said, "Please help me, new colleague."
