There is such a place in S City, which used to be a dock, and now it is a bar street. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It is mainly a clean bar, remote and quiet. Even if the side of the river is a towering mansion, this side is also like a wanton and gentle clear pool under the moonlit night, getting rid of all the hustle and bustle, only three or three people in twos and threes, lingering on their minds, reluctant to leave.

At the end of here, there is a bar. The old signboard, the neon is red, and the light tube is crooked, forming several ugly words.

Zeus。

The man stood under the sign, frowning at the unsightly sign.

Perhaps impressed by its ugliness, the man laughed a little self-deprecatingly.

Pushing open the glass door, he stepped inside.

Inside the glass door, a black staircase leads to an unknown place below. The man looked at the black hole, and there was no fear in his heart. He suddenly had the feeling that this black hole was made for him.

People like him deserve such darkness.

He didn't even take out his phone's lighting, he stepped on the steps and walked down slowly.

The staircase turned a corner, and there was another glass door. The blue light passed through the glass door and scattered on the walls and floor. The man pushed the door open and entered, and saw a short bar. Somehow, he was a little disappointed.

As soon as he sat down at the bar, he saw a head with white hair emerge from under the bar.

He looked intently—

Hey, that's kind of interesting.

It was an old lady.

The old lady was about sixty or seventy years old, her hair was all silver, and her face was pale with no wrinkles, except that the flesh hung loosely on her face like a bag of flour.

The man was so interested in it - who would have thought that such an old lady would be hired to be a bartender?

"What do you want to drink?" The old lady didn't even look at him, wiped the cup in her hand sluggishly, and asked.

The man laughed.

"That's it." He casually pointed to a dark beer in the glass case in front of him.

Slowly, but very elegantly, the old lady poured the dark beer into the glass and pushed it in front of the man.

One bite of the stomach, the man felt very happy.

At this moment, a man sitting in the corner suddenly said, "It's so good. ”

That's nice?

The man was a little stunned and turned his head to look. As soon as he entered, he had already noticed the man sitting in the corner, but he didn't think much of it. In his opinion, this man is probably like him, who came to the corner of the city where birds don't, found a quirky bar, and drank a glass of sour and bitter wine.

But at this time, this sentence of "so good" made him re-examine this man.

He is short and thin, wearing a black vertical turtleneck sweater on the top, a pair of dark blue jeans on the bottom, and a pair of khaki boots on his feet. The skin was a little whiter than the old lady on the side, flawless, and a pair of thin red lips were brightly colored, and I didn't know if it was because of the color of his lips or the glass of liquor in front of him.

The man hesitated and asked, "Are you talking to me?" ”

The sweater man turned around and grinned, "Yes." ”

"Uh." The man was a little surprised, "You mean...... What's so good? ”

The man in the sweater held the wine glass in one hand and his head in the other, and his eyes brightened amazingly in the dark blue light: "It's good that I said you." ”

"Huh?"

The man immediately wanted to leave.

Myself...... You can't run into any weirdos, right?

As if guessing his thoughts, the sweater man burst out laughing. He approached the man with his glass, and a whisper of a word came out of his mouth.

"Just a little bit, that's good."

On the other side of the city, Qu Xi was sitting cross-legged on the bed, roaring frantically.

She really didn't want to say that she was relied on by a system!

It's like a kraft candy, you can't shake it off!

A fist slammed into the bed, and she shouted angrily: "Say, what conditions can leave me?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the corners of her mouth twitched and she found that no matter how she heard these words, it felt like an eight-o'clock soap opera......

"The host is so ruthless?" It was obviously an accusatory word, but when the system said it in a deep magnetic voice, it was weirdly tight.

"Yes, I'm so ruthless! So ruthless, so ruthless, so vexatious! I don't need you anymore! Please, do well, don't speak in my ear at every turn......"

During this period of time, maybe because she was going to "break up" hurt the system-kun, when she was half-asleep and half-awake, when she crossed the street, when she went to the toilet or took a bath, the system-kun would suddenly appear.

When she watched a suspense movie - "This man is a murderer".

When she watched the brain-dead romance - "The male protagonist died in the end".

When she watched the orthodox news - "This is a terrorist attack, these hostages are going to die immediately, and there is really no need to watch it anymore." ”

"Tell me, who can stand you?!" Qu Xi wanted to cry without tears.

"The host obediently cooperates with the system, and it can stand it."

"Nope." Qu Xi immediately refused, "I said the reason, I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore." ”

"Is the host genuine?"

"That's right! It's more real than gold! ”

She was telling the truth.

Ever since she had brought Charlotte back, the thought had taken shape in her mind. When she first met the system, she was willing to run around for her sister; Later, Wu Shuang and Zhang Xiaohua, despite the ups and downs in the process of completing the task, she has always been grateful.

But later, when she began to actively search for unfamiliar task bodies for the 500 points required for the "time travel" function, she slowly found that things had turned sour.

Maybe it's because of Chu Yan's rebuke, maybe it's because of Qian Daguo's old tears.

Perhaps, simply because, she was tired.

She is not a savior.

She couldn't even save herself.

"Okay." System Jun said. The voice was calm, as if he was talking about the most ordinary meals, soups, and tea.

Qu Xi was full of opposition, like a balloon, but this balloon is now bursting with a "bang" because of these two words.

"You...... Agreed? ”

"Hmm."

"Won't you be with me again?"

"Hmm."

"I won't see those buttons anymore?"

"Hmm."

"Oh......"

Qu Xi tugged at the corners of his mouth, thinking that he would laugh, but he couldn't.

"Okay...... See you soon. She said a little sullenly.

"Hmm. But. ”

"But?" Qu Xi's eyes lit up a little.

"But doesn't the host want to know what the primary monitoring function is? Maybe you know, and you'll change your mind. ”

Level 1 monitoring function?

Qu Xi remembered that this was a new feature that was unlocked when she had more than 500 points.

At that time, she was surrounded by the ecstasy that she could save Charlotte, so she didn't care at all.

"Okay, you can say it."

Even if she did, she wouldn't change her mind...... She thought to herself.

"The first-level monitoring function, as the name suggests, can monitor the changes in the scumbag coefficient of the task body in the background. Different from the previous real-time feedback during the task, the first-level monitoring function allows the host to know the coefficient change of the task body after the task is completed. ”

"That's it......" Qu Xi didn't listen much, "It's a good function, but I don't need it anymore." ”

“…… Good. This system understands. ”

"Hmm. It's good to understand. Qu Xi nodded, but his voice became weaker and weaker.

"Well, goodbye host."

"Goodbye system."

"Qu Xi, goodbye."

As soon as the words fell, a somewhat harsh electric sound resounded in Qu Xi's ears, making her cover her ears uncomfortably.

It was precisely because of this electric sound that a very subtle sound was ignored by her.

"So be it...... But she'll regret it......"
