The picture frames in the cupboard were suddenly shattered one by one, at first at large intervals, and then at an increasing rate.Before they even had time to see the specific content of the photo, they saw that all the glass covering the photo frame was broken into several pieces, and the crisp crackling sound was like a bomb detonating in their minds.

Bright red blood slowly seeped from the edge of the photo frame, spreading around along the traces of broken glass.Blood clings to the surface of the photo, making the image even more blurry.

No. 4 embraced Yu Jin's shoulders, and let him lean halfway to his chest, while protecting his head with the other hand, in case any glass shards flew out and pierced his eyes.

Yu Jin grabbed his arm, wanting to see the specific process of the photo change, but he stopped in a low voice, with a helpless voice: "I'll help you watch."

Only then did Yu Jin give up, but her palms were still against his chest, refusing to lean on his arms completely.

When his face was pressed against No. 4's heart, he seemed to be able to hear No. 4's heartbeat.The steady and powerful heartbeat calmed down the restlessness in his mind, and gave him a feeling of wanting to rely on him like this forever.

But he knew he shouldn't have such thoughts.

No. 4 felt his resistance, and didn't speak, but the tail hung down pitifully on one side, flicking it weakly from time to time.

Finally all the photo frames were broken, Huo Chu'an raised his arm covering his face, looked at the broken glass in a cabinet and said in a daze: "It's all broken...the photos are also dirty."

There is a row of five photos in the cupboard, and it can only be seen that the protagonist is FX, and the identifiable features are all covered up.

Yu Jin tried to take the photo down, but found that the photo frame was stuck in the cabinet, and he had to smash the photo frame to take it off.

He narrowed his eyes and began to carefully identify the contents of the photo.

It should be all FX, or a photo of FX and humans.

One of them looked particularly familiar.Although FX's face and most of the body of the opposite human were covered in blood, he still recognized the crown on FX's head.

And the human hand holding the crown.

"This is a photo of the awards after each assessment." No. 4 stood behind him, with a nostalgic tone, "We will conduct a small assessment on the 15th of every month, and each No.1 will have a special award. Ceremony, No.1 in each quarterly assessment can get additional rewards."

Yu Jin asked abruptly, "Did you use this opportunity to exchange a box of matches?"

Number 4 was stunned for a moment, a flash of panic flashed in his eyes, his eyes wandered to the side for a moment, and then he nodded lightly: "I'm afraid... I wanted it at the time."

He almost gave out the completely untenable reason "I'm afraid of the dark".When he was in the deputy director's office, he didn't panic at all when facing the darkness.

Lying is always bad, even if Yu Jin doesn't look angry.He lowered his head, neatly arranged his tail in a good manner, and waited for Yu Jin's next question.

Yu Jin had no intention of exposing his lies, but when he saw his gentle and harmless golden-haired eyes, his expressionless cold face couldn't hold back, and he half-covered his face and looked away: "If you like it, don't waste it. This kind of opportunity."

This is what he wanted to say at the time, what he didn't say in memory.

"Okay." The corners of No. 4's mouth rose, his eyes lit up with fire, and he leaned forward slightly.

Yu Jin couldn't help but took half a step back, leaning his back against the cabinet, making a slight noise.

He slightly raised his head to look at the FX in front of him, trying to maintain his composure by relying on the cold and hard touch of the cabinet.

FX's concept of distance may be different from that of humans, at least he now feels that number 4 is too close all of a sudden.

The protective action in times of crisis is different, and the closeness in daily life is obviously easier for people to hear the sound of the heartbeat.

Number 4 blinked, as if seeing his nervousness, stepped back a little, leaving him a safe distance, but still looked at him with fiery eyes.

The temperature of the gaze seemed to be higher than that of his usual flame.

"I also have a cabinet here." Ji Qingge stood in front of the cabinet on the other side of the room and said, "There are some things in the cabinet... I don't know what it is for."

What happened to be prizes in her cabinet over there corresponded one-to-one with the prizes in the photo.

"There are five grids here, I think it should be to put things into the corresponding grid." Ji Qingge picked up a pendant composed of three intersecting circles, "Is there any clue over there?"

"The photos on my side are all blurred and I can't see them clearly... But I can clearly see these things in the photos." Huo Chu'an glanced at the cabinet, but found that Yu Jin and No. 4 didn't know what to say secretly over there. I can close my eyes and trust my memory, "But I think it must not be arranged according to the order of the photos."

Ji Qingge was silent and asked, "Is there no date on the photo?"

"No. Besides, I can't see the back of the photo frame. Pressing and twisting the photo frame doesn't work. To remove it... I haven't tried to remove it. It shouldn't be necessary. It's all broken glass."

Ji Qingge thought for a while, and asked in disbelief: "Then it shouldn't be—the order of broken glass?"

Her and Huo Chu'an's faces turned black all of a sudden, and they saw despair in each other's faces.

The glass shatters so fast, who can see clearly.

And everyone was very nervous at the time. Those who were close were guarding against broken glass splashing out, and those who were far away were guarding against raids and sudden darkening of the environment in other places. Who would have the heart to watch it.

Even if you really see clearly, forget it here.

However, Huo Chu'an still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, he shouted: "Boss, did you see the order in which the glass was broken just now?"

When he shouted, Yu Jin and No. 4 all looked over.

Number 4 originally had his back to him, but because of his tall stature, it happened to cover Yu Jin's face, so he didn't know what the two of them were talking about.

But now he is very sure, he seems to have done something inappropriate again, because No. 4 has the kind of eyes that look polite but are actually disgusting.

He saw that No. 4 flicked its tail against the cabinet, and quickly wrapped it around Yu Jin's ankle, as if to delineate his own range. After being patted by Yu Jin on the shoulder, he reluctantly let go. A man walked slowly towards him.

Huo Chu'an didn't want to talk anymore, so Ji Qingge could only come out to explain the problem, and his tone was full of expectation.

Yu Jin shook his head, indicating that he didn't see it.He turned his head and glanced at number 4, motioning him to solve the problem.

Knowing that this is Yu Jin's trust in him, No. 4 walks forward wagging his tail with a little joy, and slowly and gracefully returns the prizes one by one.

With a click, a jigsaw puzzle fell out of the cabinet where the photos were originally placed. Huo Chu'an and Ji Qingge ran over happily to check if there was any new change in the cabinet.

"Fortunately, we still have an FX here, otherwise we don't know how long we will have to go all out." Huo Chu'an sighed, "Do you think our customs clearance will be smoother after having him?"

Ji Qingge disagreed: "I think we can pass the level without him."

Huo Chu'an grinned: "That's right, even if you missed the reminder, I believe Brother Yu has other ways to launch the sequence."

"But he will be more relaxed this way, after all, we are too late." Ji Qingge thought for a while, a little frustrated, "When do you think we can become such a powerful person?"

"Take it easy, you will definitely succeed." Huo Chu'an was full of confidence, "You can see that people like Chen Yan can live such a good life, so can we."

Speaking of Chen Yan, both of them felt a little heavy.Huo Chu'an took a peek at the two people over there, and changed the subject: "Tell me, doesn't the boss look so serious?"

Ji Qingge hesitated: "It seems... yes."

"At the beginning, I really felt that other people were quite difficult to get close to - no, it is still the same now. But, has he become more emotional?"

More like a real person.

Ji Qingge nodded, what she didn't say was that she knew that Yu Jin didn't suddenly become more emotional.

When he was alone looking at the box of medicine and the first two diaries, his expression was gentle.

Huo Chu'an said sincerely: "Actually, when I saw the diary, I wondered if I could bring No. 4 to our camp. But at the time, I thought that the boss would definitely not want to sacrifice his appearance to do such a thing, so I didn't dare to mention it." Unexpectedly, it actually came true."

Ji Qingge didn't know why she felt a little nervous.She asked softly: "So, is this kind of thing very common? I mean there are so many related plots between players and NPCs."

"I don't know. Maybe it's a coincidence, maybe it's the privilege of the bosses?" Huo Chu'an laughed loudly, "I'll find out later."

After solving the mechanism in the cabinet, Yu Jin didn't follow to look at the puzzle, but suddenly took out the crown in the square.

He called out to No. 4: "Low your head."

Number 4 lowered his head reflexively, ready to receive his touch.

Yu Jin supported his face with one hand, and put the crown on his head carefully and solemnly with the other.

Number 4 tilted his head slightly, and let out a short question: "Huh?"

As a result, the crown shifted a bit, and Yu Jin had to carefully adjust the specific position of the crown.

He said without beginning and end: "Today is the 15th."

After turning his head a little bit, No. 4 understood what he meant.

The 15th is the day of assessment and the day of awards.

"But I'm not number one." He raised his head slightly, looking at the expression on Yu Jin's face, his voice was hesitant.

Yu Jin finally adjusted the position of the crown, ready to let go: "Enough."

No. 4 grabbed the hand he wanted to withdraw, smiled and rubbed his cheek against his palm, with a little attachment in his slightly closed eyes.

The picture he saw on the computer lock screen in the duty room at that time appeared in Yu Jin's mind involuntarily.

Next, number 4 will kiss his palm.

He looked at No. 4's soft lips, his heart beat quickly, and his palms were slightly warm.

But No. 4 just rubbed it for a few seconds, then reluctantly let go of his hand, raised his eyes, and asked him with a smile: "What's wrong?"

Yu Jin tried to hide the trembling tone with a colder voice than usual: "It's okay."

No. 4 looked at the other prizes next to him, and said in a nostalgic tone: "Actually, the ones in the photos are all about me."

He looked at Yu Jin expectantly.

Yu Jin heard what he meant, and asked helplessly, "Is it not too heavy for you to hang so many?"

He wanted to repeat all the rituals in the photo.

"I don't think so." Number 4 showed a dazzling smile.

Looking at his eager eyes, Yu Jin sighed in her heart, picked up a necklace, and prepared to put it on for him.

"Can we go?" Ji Qingge's awkward voice suddenly broke in.

Huo Chu'an didn't want to be looked down upon anymore, so he pushed her out, and now she is also feeling very uncomfortable.

Now that you have the puzzle, you can go back and put it together.Time is running out and they can't stay here.

Yu Jin glanced at the two who were about to leave, and asked indifferently, "Why are you leaving?"
