non-human reincarnation

After entering Area A, it became much cleaner. Chi Wu was automatically farther away from Cheng Yan, and he didn't look so trembling anymore. He said as he walked, "Everything in the ladder needs to pay a price."

Cheng Yan looked at him, as seriously as every time he listened to his answer.

"The judge will stay in the third world for a long time, dealing with large and small affairs. You have also seen how much mess there is in Area B."

Cheng Yan: "How long is a long time?"

Chi Wu shook his head: "The year I entered the third world coincided with the handover of judges, and the new judge was the current judge. It hasn't been changed for more than ten years."

"Is the judge a non-human, or an npc from the third world?" Cheng Yan asked.

"They are passers-by who have been selected by the ladder, just like us. Of course, whether they can be selected is not something they can control. Some people are willing and some people are not." Chi Wu said, "The advantage is that after the end of the term, The ladder will allow them to freely choose whether to become human, no longer need to go through the nine ladders."

Cheng Yan raised his eyebrows: "The judges should not be randomly selected."

Chi Wu nodded: "No."

Cheng Yan asked: "What is the standard?"

"Maybe it's the non-human that is most suitable for the ladder, maybe it's the one that the ladder thinks has the strongest ability, and the one with the highest probability of passing the level." Chi Wu said, "I can't tell, but they are generally quite powerful."

Cheng Yan looked at the little knots on the back of Chi Wu's head, and was curious about what kind of person Chi Wu called powerful.

When they went downstairs, they met the judge who was discussing along the way.

The man stood straight on the side of the entrance, a little half a head taller than Chi Wu, with a wide black cloak covering his body, and his whole face was covered by the brim of the hat, turning into a piece of black under the sun.

Cheng Yan subconsciously stood in front of Chi Wu and stopped.

The man turned half of his body slowly, raised his voice and asked, "Are you Cheng Yan?"

Cheng Yan and Chi Wu were holding the things in their hands, and they were out of place with the judge standing opposite.

"Are you looking for me?" Cheng Yan asked him, with a flat tone as if to excuse me.

A sigh came from the black shadow, and the man took off the hat of the cloak, revealing his full face, Cheng Yan was a little surprised.

The judge has a handsome face, the corners of his mouth are slightly hooked, and he can't read the majesty that the judge should have at all.

"Tell me, are you causing trouble again?" the man said.

Cheng Yan followed his gaze and found that he was talking to Chi Wu.

Chi Wu, who was standing at the back, came out slowly, next to Cheng Yan, without changing his tone, but asked instead: "You said you helped me catch the thief who stole underwear. You have been caught for three months. Where is the thief?"

"Isn't your house already equipped with anti-theft windows?" The man yawned, strolled to them, and put his hands on Chi Wu's shoulders, "Since someone is worrying about it, I'll save trouble."

Cheng Yan pulled Chi Wu over calmly, and the man's hand was hanging in the air.

"Oh, I forgot the business." The man turned to Cheng Yan, and took out a crumpled piece of paper from the cloak, with crooked words on it, "Cheng Yan, I received a report from the masses that you are in the third world zone b West Street in the hotel group deliberately hurt people, do you have anything to say?"

Cheng Yan: "There is nothing to say, I hurt people."

The man shrugged at Chi Wu, indicating to him that if Cheng Yan was like this, he would not be able to help him.

Chi Wu smiled.

Except for himself, he hasn't seen anyone who Cheng Yan suffers from.

"Are you sure you don't want to defend yourself?" the judge asked.

"No need." Cheng Yan held up the paper bag in his arms a little bit, "But I'll report it too."

The judge opened his eyes wide: "What do you want to report?"

"I reported them - mobbed and beat me up."

Chi Wu burst out laughing, until he held the milk in his hands and leaned against Cheng Yan's arm when he couldn't balance.

"At the time, there were at least a hundred or so onlookers. You can go and investigate, and by the way, consider my deliberate injury just now as self-defense." Cheng Yan said nonsense in a serious manner.

The judge turned his eyes from Cheng Yan back to Chi Wu, and Chi Wu shrugged back at him.

"It seems that there is no result." The judge threw the note casually, "Unsolved case, unsolved case."

Chi Wu complained: "Do you still have few unsolved cases?" He elbowed Cheng Yan, "He is Lu Jingyuan."

Lu Jingyuan put a hat on himself with a smile: "I've been waiting to see Cheng Yan for a long time, and today I finally have the chance."

He walked up to them, looked at the vegetables exposed in the paper bag, and then at the rice: "It looks so rich..."

Chi Wu didn't let him see: "No one will invite you to dinner."

"Forget it, forget it, I still have a few cases to investigate." Lu Jingyuan waved his hand, and when he came to Chi Wu's side, he suddenly asked, "He is really good in bed?"

Chi Wu opened his hand boredly.

He didn't give up and asked, "Didn't you do it?"

Chi Wu didn't bother to pay attention to him, and pushed Cheng Yan's back behind him, making him go upstairs.

Lu Jingyuan chattered endlessly: "Don't seize the opportunity, when will your old iron tree bloom..."

Cheng Yan opened the door with a smile and said, "It seems that I have ruined your reputation."

"Huh?" Chi Wu put down the milk and asked him, "What?"

Cheng Yan put the rice away, squatted down and unwrapped the heat press, and said, "Before me, you seem to be at least an innocent virgin."

Chi Wu: "..."

It was rare to choke Chi Wu once, and Cheng Yan was in a good mood.

When the rice jar was full, Cheng Yan saw Chi Wu squatting in the corner drinking milk.

"Chi Wu, how old are you?" He squeezed his shoulder from behind.

Chi Wu twisted his neck and said it was itchy, then said he didn't know.

"Didn't you say you are an adult?" Cheng Yan asked.

Chi Wu: "I've lived here for more than ten years, isn't this considered an adult?" He stood up, put the empty milk box on Cheng Yan's shoulder, stabilized himself and said, "At least older than you big."

Cheng Yan: "..." He took down the empty milk bottle on his shoulder and put it in the palm of his hand, "I'll buy you a new one after these six bottles are finished, there is a shelf life."

"No, I'll finish drinking the day after tomorrow." Chi Wu said, "You have to buy it today."

Cheng Yan smiled helplessly: "Got it."

After lunch, Cheng Yan went back to his home, and Chi Wu finally saw Gu Ran.

When Gu Ran came in, he was wearing a knitted sweater, and his hair was messy, as if he had just woken up. He sat directly on the sofa next to Chi Wu politely: "Let's turn on the air conditioner for a while."

"Is there nothing else to do just to turn on the air conditioner?" Chi Wu asked.

Gu Ran raised his neck and closed his eyes gently: "I'm a little tired, and I'm a little short of money."

"Okay." Chi Wu turned on the air conditioner in the living room, and spent every boring afternoon in the ladder with Gu Ran in the living room as before.

After a long time, when someone knocked on the door next door, Chi Wu said, "Maybe you need to tell me something."

Gu Ran opened his eyes: "But I heard footsteps."

"He knocked on Cheng Yan's house." Chi Wu said, "It has nothing to do with us."

Gu Ran stretched his waist: "Are you sure it really has nothing to do with you?" He stood up, "Let's go and have a look."

Standing at the door of Cheng Yan's house was a not-so-tall boy. After hearing Chi Wu's door opening, he turned his head quickly, as if he was a thief.

Gu Ran blocked Chi Wu and asked him, "Are you looking for Cheng Yan?"

The man faltered: "...there is Chi Wu's house over there, why are you in there?"

Immediately afterwards, the door on Cheng Yan's side also opened. He lowered his head, without raising his eyelids, and said directly, "Don't you have the key to my house? Why are you knocking?"

His hair was covered with drops of water, his upper body was not wearing clothes, and his lower body was wrapped in a bath towel. After seeing the scene at the door, he cursed in a low voice, and then closed the door again.

Gu Ran suppressed a smile while stuffing the small head on his side back.

The knocker's ears and cheeks turned red inexplicably, and he turned his head cautiously, searching around Gu Ran for traces of Chi Wu.

The opposite door opened again, Cheng Yan was fully dressed except for his wet hair.

He is tall and has a wide field of vision, looking directly over the knocker's head to the opposite side, Gu Ran's side, or the position behind him: "What's the matter?"

"Are you Mr. Cheng Yan?" said the knocker.

Chi Wu didn't show up for a long time, so Cheng Yan could only lower his head and say "hmm", "Are you looking for me?"

"I have something to ask you, is it convenient to talk to me?" said the knocker.

"What are you talking about?" Cheng Yan was like a ruthless question-and-answer machine.

The man twitched for two seconds: "Is it convenient to go in and talk?"

Cheng Yan narrowed his eyes, and suddenly saw a small head protruding from Gu Ran's side, with a gloating smile on his face, waved to him, then pulled Gu Ran in, and closed the door.

The sound of closing the door startled the man, Cheng Yan frowned slightly, and said, "There is no one else here, if you have anything to say, just say it outside the door."

"but……"

Cheng Yan hoped that he could be more straightforward, so he asked, "What can you do with me?"

"I want to ask you, can you go through the third step of the ladder with me?" He looked around and said, "I will also pass the third step of the ladder next time."

Cheng Yan understood that he was here to form a team.

He said sorry to that person, and then said that he has no intention of entering the third ladder.

"It's okay, I can wait for you," the man said sincerely, "you can take me when you want to go."

Cheng Yan raised his eyes, looked at the door of Chi Wu's room, and then said, "I'm afraid you're going to ask Chi Wu, I'll listen to him."

After he finished speaking, he wanted to close the door, but the man squeezed in through the wide opening, and suddenly grabbed Cheng Yan's forearm, and was about to lean on him, but Cheng Yan threw his hand against the wall.

The man touched his shoulder blades and groaned, and Cheng Yan dragged him out of the door by his arms.

"You..." The man leaned against the door, his face turned red and white.

Cheng Yan completely blocked the entrance to his house, and said in a cold tone, "What are you doing?"

The man looked at Cheng Yan, lowered his head in fright, and whispered, "I too..." He grabbed the corner of his clothes, and suddenly said fiercely, "Look at me!"

"I see you?" Cheng Yan felt inexplicably familiar, and continued to ask him, "What do I see about you?"

He approached Cheng Yan, raised his head, his eyes were black, and his voice was soft: "Look at me, if you want, we can go to bed too."

Cheng Yan's face was even uglier than when he was about to grab his arm just now.

He knew why it was familiar.

This person is imitating Chi Wu's way of speaking.

Learn from Chi Wu's timid and weak expression, his innocent and harmless eyes when looking at people, and his sometimes explosive temper.

Cheng Yan curled his lips and smiled softly, the man stared blankly.

"Come." Cheng Yan waved at him, "Come here."

The man took a breath, walked up to Cheng Yan, and gave him his hand.

Cheng Yan didn't catch his hand, grabbed the man by his collar, and pushed him downstairs, impatiently disgusted: "Go back where you came from."

The two-finger-wide gap in the opposite door closed silently. Before the last light disappeared, Cheng Yan walked over and opened the door to see Gu Ran and Chi Wu who were eavesdropping inside.

"Have you finished watching the play?" He asked Chi Wu.

Chi Wu rolled his eyes and said regretfully, "It's a pity, I think he's pretty good-looking."

Cheng Yan's entire face sank, and his eyes were stained with the deepest dark ink in the lake.

Gu Ran raised his eyebrows, took two steps back, and immediately after, Chi Wu was dragged by Cheng Yan and entered his house.
