you're kind of scary

In the Executive Department of the Space-Time Administration, there is a list that is updated in real time, called the "Task Completion Rate Ranking List".

Although it is said that those who succeed in the mission for the first time can also get a [-]% success rate, this list will also calculate the number of completed missions, that is to say, only those who have completed the most missions and all of them have a [-]% completion rate will be able to at the top of the list.

And the top spot on this list has always been firmly occupied by the name "Qian Ge".

A few weeks ago, for some reason, Qian Ge's task completion rate suddenly dropped, and then quickly returned to [-]%. Before the other executives were surprised, the minister explained that it was because of a calculation error, and the matter was left alone.

In fact, only because the work of using a world as a virus bait needs to be carried out secretly, Chika's failure records were deleted to ensure concealment.

It's as if her experience with Hong Jiaodong is also regarded as "non-existent".Qiange was thinking in a daze, and the colleague who passed by greeted her by the way, and she came back to her senses, waved her hand in a friendly way, and looked the same as before. "I heard that you have completed another big task?" The colleague asked curiously.

"It's not a big task, but that world is more dangerous." Qian Ge smiled, "As for the difficulty of the task, the top ten executives should be able to complete it."

But this kind of task is issued to the top ten executors forcibly, and one of them must accept the task. Usually, the executor with the greatest confidence will undertake it until the end, and the others will also express their gratitude.

Qian Ge was not like this this time, she took the initiative to take over the task, and she took it very quickly, before the others had time to express their thanks, she had already entered the task world.

But this kind of thing, the top ten people will not say it to the public. After reaching this ranking, they all have their own sources of information in the bureau, not to mention that Qiange didn't deliberately hide this matter. They all know that Qiange wants to use work to divert Attention, in this case, can only be counted as a reward for helping out in other things.

The colleague didn't know this, but just heard what Qiange said, didn't think about it, and asked instead: "It's going to be the end of the year in a month, so the preparations for this year's annual meeting will start, right?"

The annual meeting of the Space-Time Administration has always been a very interesting event. The ministers of various departments lead the discussion to determine the theme of the year's annual meeting, formulate plans, and carry out grand themed activities.Last year's theme was food, and a survey questionnaire was distributed to all the staff in the bureau. In the end, the top [-] food was carefully selected, collected from all over the world, and a luxurious dinner party was held.

Everyone who enters the venue can get meal coupons that match the value of their work results in the past year, and use the meal coupons to buy various delicacies to enjoy, and each sold food has a unique number. No. Host a sweepstakes.

The most anticipated is the first prize. It is said that it is comparable to the universal wishing machine. For example, Ouhuang, who won the prize last year, won the complete illustrated book of Greed Island that he personally dreamed of. Even if the number of uses is consistent with the game, it is not unlimited. Also very satisfied.

"I don't know what this year's theme is." Qian Ge continued, "I've done all the interesting themes." "Leave this kind of thing to the ministers." The colleague smiled, "I'm really looking forward to it." ah!"

Looking forward to it?While continuing to chat with her colleagues, Qiange thought, what else is there to look forward to now?After chatting, Qian Ge was about to go on the mission, and received a contact from Star Crow: "Hey, the theme of this year's annual meeting has come out, do you want to participate in the preparation work?"

There are a lot of preparations to be made for the annual meeting, and human help is always needed. A strong helper like Qian Ge is naturally the first choice.Originally, he could obtain information in advance and make personal preparations, but unfortunately for Qiange today, he is really not in the mood.She shook her head: "No, I won't participate this year, you can ask someone else."

Star Crow nodded, and suddenly said: "Don't be too sad."

"I'm not sad," Qiange replied with a smile, "It's not like we'll never see each other again."

Her appearance made Xing Crow hesitant to speak, and in the end he just sighed and ended the communication.The world over there is still in a completely closed state, so any data cannot be transmitted to the Space-Time Administration, and the situation is unknown.Even if Hong Jiaodong promised that Qiange would come to her, what would happen in reality?No one knew that Qiange was also waiting hopelessly.

A month passed in the blink of an eye. On December 12st, the last day of this year, the members of the Space and Space Administration, who received the invitation letter for the annual meeting one night in advance, all put on their celebratory costumes and walked into the brand-new building with great interest. Inside the Space-Time Administration.

"This year's theme is actually illusory." Qian Ge was amazed, "Which minister made the suggestion?"

"Sales Department." Star Crow casually grabbed the mask floating in mid-air, several times in a row, but Qiange couldn't stand it anymore, and grabbed at the place where Xing Crow seemed to have nothing, and grabbed a mask The blue blindfold mask was handed to Starcrow.Xingya was not embarrassed at all, and praised: "As expected of my Qingmei, you really know my preferences."

Qian Ge rolled his eyes: "Your mental strength is so weak, you can't see through these hallucinations at all, right?"

"That's why it depends on the mask." Star Crow shrugged, "This year's annual meeting has a total of ten floors open, and you can receive a prop at the entrance of each floor. For example, the first floor is a mask. Through this prop, you can see through it. The basic illusion of this floor and the path leading to the next floor. However, if the mental power is not high enough, you will not be able to get the props at the entrance, and you will not be able to advance to the top of the building." "Although the settings of each floor will have certain differences , but the lottery at the annual meeting has always been a probabilistic event, let’s see who is more popular. And the fun enjoyed by each floor is not particularly different, and fairness is still very important." Star Crow made a conclusion.

Qian Ge didn't answer, just looked at the many masks floating in the air for a while, and finally reached out, took a mask with flowing water pattern, put it on casually, and walked into the venue on the first floor.

The illusory theme is indeed interesting. If Qiange controls her mental power and does not see through the illusion, she will find that some people can sit in mid-air, and some people are stuttering a book, which is really interesting.

However, no matter how much she tried to integrate into the joy of the annual meeting, she still couldn't get any motivation. As long as she fully released her spiritual power, all the hallucinations would disappear like a cloud of smoke before her eyes, and it would become boring instead.

Qiange shook his head mockingly, followed the red arrow seen through the mask, and walked towards the second floor.

Many people have adopted the same approach as Qiange. After all, this kind of activity to challenge one's mental strength is also very interesting. However, as the floor increases, fewer and fewer people walk with Qiange. At the entrance of the tenth floor, only Qiange was left alone.

It's not that there are no other people with stronger mental power than her, but only she has been climbing to the top of the building without paying attention to her surroundings at all. Others will visit more or less, and only Qiange will go up with her head depressed climb.

No one else appeared on the tenth floor, and there was nothing in the arena, only a kaleidoscope was placed at the entrance. Qiange picked it up and looked at it with his eyes. There were no colored debris that a normal kaleidoscope should have, but it was just blank.

Wow, suddenly felt that this kaleidoscope was a mockery of herself.Qian Ge twitched the corners of her mouth, is she now like this kaleidoscope, the inside is actually empty, with nothing?

Holding this kaleidoscope, she randomly found a place to sit down in the arena that had been turned into a vast sea of ​​stars by a powerful illusion. She wanted to take a rest, but was crushed by the mask when she sat down.

The props on the tenth floor are useless on the new floor after use, and there is no way to return them. Even if you throw them away anywhere, they will float by your side like a shadow.Qiange guessed that the props had other uses, so she didn't care too much. She didn't expect those props to fall to the ground when she sat down, and she sat down, causing her a little pain.

Qian Ge was thinking about removing the props, when she suddenly found that the mask she was sitting on was cracked.

No way?The quality is so poor? !Qian Ge quickly picked it up to check, but a small blue star fell out of the crack and landed in her palm.It's not so much a star, it's better to say it's a plastic sheet in the shape of a star, it doesn't look special, but looking at the kaleidoscope on the other side, Qiange tried to move the plastic sheet closer.

The piece of plastic suddenly floated up, and then melted into it silently.

Is that how it was played?Qiange looked at the extra blue stars between the lenses of the kaleidoscope, and became a little interested.She checked the mask again, and found that there was a small mechanism on it that could divide the mask into two layers. It was an accident that she broke the mask.

However, this also shows that she is lucky, right?Thinking about this, Qiange also found the colored films in other props.The colorful chips are melted into the kaleidoscope one by one, and every time a color is added, the patterns appearing in the kaleidoscope become more wonderful.It is not the optical patterns that appear in ordinary kaleidoscopes, but more illusory and beautiful scenes.

The majestic mountains, the boundless grasslands, the turbulent waves... It's like bringing together the most magnificent or beautiful natural scenes in the world, as if witnessing the vitality of this planet with your own eyes.

It's amazing, I don't know who made these hallucinations, I really want Jiao Dong to...

The thoughts in his mind stopped abruptly, Qiange's smile gradually subsided, and finally let go of the hand holding the kaleidoscope.With her fingers loosened, the cylinder rolled out of her palm and slid aside.

She just sat alone in a vast sea of ​​stars, surrounded by the blue-black universe and surrounded by countless bright stars, and then slowly bent down and shrunk up, making her even smaller and more lonely.

"I want you to see it too..." Qiange choked up, covering her mouth tightly with both hands, crying out of tune.

I promised not to cry, and wanted to greet him with a smile, but why couldn't I help it now?

It must be because I miss it too much, it must be because I am too lonely, it must be because... I like it so much.

"When will it be..." She covered her eyes hard, as if she could stop the tears from pouring out of her eyes, "I want to see you, but why don't you come to me..."

"Boom Jiaodong! I want to see you!" She shook off her hand and shouted hoarsely.

Although she knew very well in her heart, she just couldn't bear it any longer, and couldn't control those emotions that were silent and boiling again at this moment. This kind of "wish"... was simply impossible to realize.

The kaleidoscope that rolled down on the ground suddenly floated up and moved in front of Qiange. Before the blurred eyes could see this scene clearly, the sudden bright white light took away his vision.

With a "squeak", the door on the tenth floor opened again, and the last visitor walked in.

"Huh? I seem to have seen Qiange come up before, right? Where's the person?" The visitor looked around curiously, "Could it be too boring to go down again?"

The sound of "Boom" startled him. Following the sound, only one kaleidoscope fell on the ground. He walked over to pick it up and looked into the kaleidoscope, "There is nothing there."

In the hall on the first floor, there was an uproar at this moment.Everyone talked a lot because of the words that suddenly appeared on the big screen.

Star Crow stared blankly for a long time, then breathed a sigh of relief, and then smiled.

"Congratulations," he said, "You are actually the Emperor of Europe this year."

The screen displayed: the first prize winner, Qiange, the prize—the right to migrate to the world (provided by the main system).Qiange's face was still stained with tears, she was a little caught off guard when she saw the unfamiliar scene around her.

The kaleidoscope just now emitted white light, and then why did she appear here?Could it be another hallucination?The sudden accident made her temporarily suppress the sadness in her heart, try her best to wipe off the tears on her face, and face the present calmly.

She seemed to be sitting on a bench in a park, her clothes were still the same, and she didn't feel any discomfort in her body. She tried to use her skills again—it was restricted, which means it must not be the real world, right?However, the feeling of being restricted was very familiar.

Before she could think about it carefully, she suddenly heard the sound of the broadcast. To be precise, it was the special electric noise when trying the microphone before the broadcast.

Qiange subconsciously looked in that direction, only seeing towering tall buildings and hot air balloons for publicity floating among the tall buildings.There are very few people in the park, but it seems that there is an event there, someone should be able to inquire about the situation, right?With that in mind, she raised her foot and walked over there.

There were many pedestrians on the road, many of them were walking towards the event site like Qiange, discussing something excitedly.Chika carefully looked at the descendants. Judging from their appearance, this world should also be on Earth, and they spoke Japanese—after all, there are many worlds related to Japan, and Chika is somewhat accustomed to it, but...their appearances all have abnormal parts. .

But this kind of abnormality, she also had a sense of familiarity.A guess emerged from her mind, but she couldn't believe it, so she could only speed up her pace towards the event location.

There were more and more people around, and a specially set up large stage appeared in front of us. The host stood on the stage and said something with joy on his face. Qian Ge just saw the words "professional hero" written on the banner on the hot air balloon. ", my mind was buzzing.She didn't even dare to read the banner, her heart was beating so fast that she felt dizzy before her eyes.The stage was crowded with people, and she couldn't get in front of it at all. She could only stand on the outermost edge, raising her head to see the scene on the stage more clearly.

"Then, next, let's hire a professional hero—Jiao Dong!" The moment she heard the host's words, Qiange felt her heart was about to jump out of her throat, and she screamed uncontrollably, but the other people around her also felt the same. Shouting excitedly, her cry was drowned in the cheers of others, and it was impossible to distinguish her.

The familiar half-red and half-white hair color appeared in front of her eyes, and her tears seemed to be out of control again. Qiange wiped away her tears vigorously, and opened her eyes wide, so that she could see the people on the stage more clearly.

The time in this world must have changed a lot. The Hong Jiao Dong standing on the stage now looks like an adult, but compared with the teenager when she left, it seems that she has not changed much, more like that false ten-year-old. The him in the world after the next year.

He was chatting with the host about something. He heard that the content was probably related to the enemies he had just solved, and soon it turned into some random topics. The fans around were happily screaming or cheering with his answers, or asking questions loudly .

After seeing the person, Qian Ge calmed down a lot. Although she didn't know why she appeared here, since she came, she would be able to see Hong Jiao Dong again. Whether it was just for a while or not, at least she was satisfied now.

It's probably impossible to meet again after the event. She doesn't even know where she is, and her identity is unclear. Maybe she can follow her?It sounds too weird... Speaking of which, he is obviously her boyfriend, so why bother?

Girls are always inexplicable when they get angry, and it happened that the event came to the questioning session again. Seeing Hong Jiaodong patiently answering fans' questions, Qiange got angry, turned around and wanted to leave.

"Ah, the next one... that one! That lady who is walking out, can you stop for a moment?" The host's tone was a little anxious. She remembered that Hero Jiaodong's popularity and reputation have always been very good. That lady They are all squeezed in the middle, why suddenly go outside?If the media with malicious intentions take advantage of this to attack the hero, it will be troublesome.

As a hidden fan of the hero Jiao Dong, the host feels that he is really a good fan who loves the idol's image.

Qian Ge didn't need to turn her head to know that the host was talking about herself. When she squeezed in just now, she received a lot of stares from the people around her, and now she left suddenly, and the people she squeezed through just now looked at her very unhappy. .

She stopped stiffly, and could almost feel the sight behind her, and the microphone was handed over by a special person.

Before she could hesitate to turn around, Hong Jiaodong on the stage spoke first: "Am I dreaming now?" His tone was very calm, but Qiange immediately heard that he was trembling. end sound.Holding the microphone, she felt a thin layer of sweat on her palm, but she didn't have the courage to turn her head, so she could only raise the microphone to her mouth dryly: "No...it's not..." There was a sudden exclamation from behind, Qiange Her scalp felt numb, and she wanted to run forward after throwing off the microphone, but before she could move away from the crowd in front of her, she was grabbed by her arm and pulled back violently, hitting her face against her solid chest.

The heartbeat of the visitor was extremely fast, and the pounding in the chest could be heard through the clothes, and the sound of breathing that was strenuously suppressed to the point of breaking came from above the head. There was no trace, a dead silence. "Qiange." A familiar voice came from the top of his hair, the back of his head was pressed hard, his back bent down, so that Qiange could be hugged even tighter, completely restrained in his arms.

In an instant, all those messy thoughts disappeared from her mind, and Qiange's heart suddenly softened. She hugged Hong's scorched waist and said softly: "Well, I'm here."

Hong Jiaodong was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "Hold me tight, I'm going to run."

"Ah?" Although the situation was still unclear, Qiange instinctively hugged Hong Jiaodong tightly.

In the next second, she was hugged horizontally, and the ice path spread from under Hong's scorched feet, directly rising into the air, and took people out in a flash, almost "fleeing away" from the event site .

Qiange finally saw his face clearly, the outline has grown a lot, but still has a reassuring sense of familiarity.There was another exclamation from behind, Hong Jiaodong just lowered his head slightly, and smiled at Qiange: "Welcome back."

Until this moment, Qiange finally had a sense of the reality of this world.

She also smiled back: "Well, I'm back."

Only by this person's side is her only destination.
