please don't believe me

Lin Tong is fine, and Matthew and his aunt are fine.The murderer of the shooting was arrested and brought to justice the next day. The news had only circulated on public platforms for three days before the popularity faded away.

On the land of country A, shootings are common.The people are afraid, but they are used to it. Life and gunfire coexist.

Taking advantage of the time spent together, Dai Bowen briefly explained what Shen Xiuyuan wanted to know.

In fact, it doesn't take much effort.Dai Bowen once mentioned some plots in his performances, most of them are actually true, and a small part is exaggerated.After Dai Bowen revised it, he described it to Shen Xiuyuan in a more general way.

Including the middle school life of being regarded as a nerd, the university life of studying law but starting to supervise psychology, the internship life of working in a research institute and writing a report, and how to take the first step as a magician.

"Excellent. If the 'magician' doesn't appear in the end of this story, I think it also applies to Ivy League graduates." Shen Xiuyuan commented.

"Otherwise?" Dai Bowen shrugged, "Could it be that I should have a past that touched country C? Otherwise, will the judges want to kick me off the stage?"

Shen Xiuyuan raised his eyebrows and said, "If they do this, hypnotize them to run naked around the VIP auditorium three times."

"Then they would only allow dogs to perform hypnosis."

They also talked about the timing of the next mission.

Because of the system linkage between the two, Dai Bowen has obtained a privilege, that is, within a certain period of time, he can frame a continuous 24 hours as the time point for switching mission worlds.In other words, as long as Dai Bowen is sure to start the mission, he and Shen Xiuyuan may be switched to the world line at any time within the next 24 hours.

Fortunately, the system does not do this when two people are driving, crossing the road and other dangerous moments.

"I'm going to get this done by Christmas."

"June?"

"Yes, what do you think?" Dai Bowen said, "Anyway, it doesn't take much time here, and it's settled, just in time for Christmas."

In mid-to-late December, Channel 12's programs should have been recorded and post-production completed, and maybe even the trial screenings have been held.The reason why Dai Bowen chose this time is that on the one hand, he doesn’t have to worry about the trance caused by switching worlds affecting his work, and on the other hand, he also has time to celebrate thoroughly after getting rid of the system.

"You have planned so thoroughly, of course I have no objection." Shen Xiuyuan smiled, "But, a small, immature suggestion, can you say it?"

"Tell me."

"Should we go on a trip together during Christmas?" Shen Xiuyuan pointed back and forth between the two, "Just me and you."

Dai Bowen laughed: "You pay the bill, Mr. Shen?"

"make a deal!"

December 12, LD West.

There are lights and festoons everywhere on the street, which is very lively.Christmas trees of different sizes and shapes stand in the streets and alleys, with flashing lights, as if to remind passers-by that an important time is coming.

All the shops along the street are playing Christmas music specials, which makes people feel a little bored but also excited; the holidays are getting closer, and people's footsteps become brisk.

In Mr.D's studio, the Christmas tree has already been placed at the door, and there are some decorative gift boxes piled up under the tree.The holiday is approaching, and all kinds of intense preparatory activities have come to an end. Except for some people who have already taken annual leave, the rest of the employees are basically dealing with daily work.

"Come in!"

Richard unscrewed the door and probed to see what was going on inside.Dai Bowen was sitting at his desk, wearing a headset for his mobile phone, looking up at the door.

Richard was taken aback for a moment, then pointed to his ear.

Dai Bowen waved his hand: "It's okay, just tell me."

Richard then said: "I'll go first. My wife and I made an appointment to buy Christmas decorations today, and we've already called three times to urge you."

"No problem." Dai Bowen said, "Be careful on the road."

"goodbye!"

"See you tomorrow!"

It wasn't until the door was closed again that Dai Bowen's earphones continued to sound: "Who's here? Richard?"

"Yeah." Dai Bowen tapped his toes, and the office chair slowly turned around, "I said his wife urged him to buy Christmas things five times, and I let him go."

"As soon as his wife urged him, he hurried back." The man laughed softly on the other end of the phone, "I've been looking forward to it for so many days, why are we still separated by thousands of miles?"

"Don't worry, we will meet on the 22nd." Dai Bowen said with a smile, "Now, let's solve the last task first. Only when we get it done, can we really return to our own lives and have a happy Christmas, right? ?”

Shen Xiuyuan smiled and said, "I have no objection."

At the end of November, Shen Xiuyuan had already booked and sent Dai Bowen a plan to travel to the island, which shows how much he cares about this matter.

Dai Bowen looked at his watch: "Then, in a quarter of an hour, I will start the mission."

Shen Xiuyuan also raised his right wrist to check the time: "No problem."

They chatted for a few more minutes before hanging up.

Dai Bowen saw the time and was ready to meet the last challenge: "TOTM system."

[TOTM system responds.Hello, I am your TOTM system number 00X customer service. 】

"Start the seventh mission."

[Confirm your needs. Tasks will start at any time within 24 hours, please be prepared. 】

Shen Xiuyuan originally thought that he would directly cut into the world again in bed, or in his sleep.However, when he woke up, it was still his ceiling, his bed, everything in the world was as usual, nothing seemed to happen.

Shen Xiuyuan didn't take it seriously at first. After all, the system only said it would happen within 24 hours. If it's not complete, it will be delayed until the last second?He got up, went out, and went to work in the office as usual.

There is no statutory Christmas holiday in Country C, but people are still rejoicing that the holiday is coming, even though a large number of year-end jobs are coming.And Shen Xiuyuan's special assistant, cousin Lin Tong was the best among them. She knocked on the door of Shen Xiuyuan's office, and what she brought was not important news or decision-making documents, but the final draft of the "Employee Exchange Gift Plan".

Shen Xiuyuan signed for her and asked, "You have nothing else to do?"

"Employee benefits also belong to my job scope, don't they?" Lin Tong took two steps closer, "Hey, brother, I have a personal matter."

Shen Xiuyuan glanced at her when he heard the words, and closed the signed documents together: "...About your idol?"

"Wow, you learned his 'mind reading skills'?" Lin Tong took back the folder and put it on the desk, "Seriously, is he coming? I prepared a Christmas present for him."

"Are you two finished?" Shen Xiuyuan leaned back in his chair, looking at the girl with exquisite makeup but lively expression like a child in front of him, "The gift comes, the gift goes, who is with whom..."

"Dating?" Lin Tong looked at him with raised eyebrows, "I've blocked you in U state for so many days, you can't even deprive me of this little hobby, can you?"

"Block?" Shen Xiuyuan sneered, "You think too highly of yourself."

"Okay." Lin Tong shrugged indifferently, "You can't expect me to fool Grandpa."

"I didn't count on it."

"The truth always makes people sad. It seems that you sent me away in the first place just to save a light bulb." Lin Tong replied, "But in this way, you and the old man have passed the quarrel?"

Shen Xiuyuan glanced at her.

Lin Tong's eyes widened slightly: "God, did you really do that? You..."

Shen Xiuyuan pulled over the coffee cup on the side and threw it in front of Lin Tong: "Thank you, coffee."

"..." Lin Tong pursed her lips, and had no choice but to pick up the file folder in frustration, picked up the coffee cup, and walked out the door.

When he walked to the door, Lin Tong couldn't help but turned around and added: "Don't forget to spare some time for me to participate in your date, just one noon."

Shen Xiuyuan watched her close the door again, and after a while, opened the notebook again.

"...I should have crushed the puff he gave you back then."

Shen Xiuyuan's mailbox is still full of emails, but at this time, most of the new emails are holiday congratulations and holiday notices from partners.The mouse slid and his fingers tapped on the keyboard, and he quickly replied to one of them.

until the phone rang.

Shen Xiuyuan glanced at the caller ID, smiled, and answered: "Hi, dear?"

Dai Bowen's voice came: "How are you, are you okay?"

"Not bad." Shen Xiuyuan was a little confused, but he still answered, "What's wrong?"

"Okay... did you see the email I sent you?" Dai Bowen seemed to heave a sigh of relief, but his tone was still serious, "A second ago."

"Not yet." Shen Xiuyuan looked at his mailbox, "What happened, your tone doesn't sound right, are you okay?"

"I'm okay... No, not very good." Dai Bowen said, "If you receive an email, open it immediately."

"Oh, it's here." Shen Xiuyuan moved his mouse to the pop-up email and clicked, "Don't worry, I... what?"

The content of the email is not long, and the format is very familiar, Shen Xiuyuan can scan it all at a glance.But the content made him sit up straight and read it word by word again.

His eyes became serious, even sinister.

"Did you see it?" Dai Bowen sighed softly, speaking quickly and clearly, "This probably explains why you haven't been teleported yet. Well, I'm not in the mood to make bad jokes. Listen, although it's a bit alarmist, but You may need to..."

Before Shen Xiuyuan could respond to the knock on the door, Lin Tong opened the door and rushed in.She didn't take the file folder, didn't take the coffee that Shen Xiuyuan asked for, she just grabbed the phone.

She was about to speak, but suddenly turned around to close the door.

"Brother." She walked towards Shen Xiuyuan step by step, pointed at his mobile phone, and spoke quickly and in a low voice, "I have something important to say."

Shen Xiuyuan seemed to realize something, he didn't cover the receiver of the phone, and replied: "Say it directly."

Lin Tong stood still in front of the desk and exhaled, "... Matthew is missing."
