Chapter Thirty-Nine
inside the room.
A man and a cat are confronting each other. Luo Jiu is sitting on a chair with his arms folded. His face has been washed clean. He looks very cute, but at this time his eyes are wide open, showing inexplicable hostility.
Opposite was the real owner of the room, Orange, who showed such a human expression for the first time.
Disdainful.
Very disdainful.
Yu Yi was frying vegetables in the kitchen, filled a bowl full of rice, and brought it to the table.
Luo Jiu's eyes were always fixed on the plate of golden scrambled eggs, his mouth watered, and his stomach growled unsatisfactorily.
Looking at her like this, Yu Yi couldn't help but wonder how she had survived for more than three hundred years.
How can you be so excited when you see a scrambled egg?
The image of a little match girl suddenly appeared in Yu Yi's mind.
"Eat, eat."
With Yu Yi's permission, Luo Jiu directly picked up the chopsticks and started to devour the food. Cheng Zi opposite him still had the same disdainful expression.
Haha, you are a stupid guy who has never eaten.
As if he thought that the other party had no possibility of threatening him, Chengzi twisted his body and lay on his stomach.
Yu Yi poured two glasses of water, sat on a chair, and reminded Luo Jiu to eat slowly, no one will compete with you.
In just a few minutes, the dishes were swept away and looked particularly shiny under the light, as if they had been washed.
I'm really hungry.
After eating, Luo Jiu obviously became much more well-behaved, drinking water gurglingly.
"How have you been hanging out all these years?"
"I didn't have to cook by myself before. I just made a mistake. I will definitely do it well next time."
"Now that we're full, let's talk about business."
Yu Yi suddenly showed a smile, snapped his fingers, and three wolf cubs surrounded Luo Jiu.
"What did the Bureau of Occult send you to do?"
Luo Jiu shrugged upon seeing this, and a huge rabbit phantom appeared in the room and instantly suppressed the wolf cub.
Hum hum.
Luo Jiu felt proud, the young man was still too young.
Before she could speak, two sharp swords were already placed on her neck, and she swallowed back all the words she wanted to say.
Why are you so fierce!
"Oh, don't be so serious. They just asked me to protect you."
Luo Jiu raised his hands in a symbolic gesture of surrender, obviously unwilling to start another dispute with Yu Yi.
Yu Yi just tried it out and withdrew the Dark Sword.
He never believed in coincidences. Combined with recent events, a player suddenly appeared next to his house. It was obvious that this was the work of the Mysterious Bureau.
If the three-hundred-year-old monster really takes action, Yu Yi doesn't think he has any chance of winning.
But knowing that the opposite side is the mysterious bureau, I have nothing to worry about. Showing my attitude is enough, and I am not that easy to control.
"What does the Bureau know about me?"
"Of course your profession and skills were at the beginning. Now they are no longer clear. As for your identity-insight technique, it is because of my profound knowledge."
"What does protection mean?"
"I believe you should have discovered the changes between the other side and reality."
While Luo Jiu was shaking the cup, a white rabbit jumped up from the air, jumped onto her shoulders, and rubbed its owner's face.
"You mean time?"
Yu Yi had previously discovered that the time in the other side of the world was a bit strange. It seemed to be getting longer and longer. Although it was a subtle change, Yu Yi still captured it.
This change is not stable. Yu Yi once measured the time in multiple periods, but found that there was no pattern.
"That's right, it's time. Maybe the time on the other side and reality will be synchronized at some point. At that time..."
Luo Jiu didn't finish what he said, but his meaning was expressed clearly.
The future is unpredictable and uncontrollable.
Yu Yi frowned slightly, having a bad feeling in his heart.
When the two worlds are synchronized, will the demons from the other world flood into the present world? Will humans be able to resist it by then?
Yu Yi thought of the big black rat in the original forbidden dungeon, an existence that no ordinary person could defeat.
What's more, there is a cave master level existence? I'm afraid nuclear weapons will be used.
The penetration of the other world is tantamount to disaster.
"Don't be so sad. I've been working for so long and I always listen to their nagging. There's no need to worry, beta testers like us can survive anyway."
Luo Jiu yawned, and the expression of an old social animal appeared on her little girl-like face.
"Then do you think humans will be able to protect themselves by then?"
"Who knows? It doesn't matter."
Luo Jiu held the rabbit in her arms and looked out the window silently. Yu Yi followed her gaze and saw only nothingness.
Yu Yi felt a sense of indifference and disappointment from her tone.
"Are you full?"
"not yet…"
Yu Yi twitched his face. He originally meant to be polite, and then kicked Luo Jiu out of the house. However, he was not polite at all.
Yu Yi turned around and walked into the kitchen, looking at the only ingredients left and thinking about what to make.
Luo Jiuze confronted Chengzi again...
…
"You're full, thank you for the treat."
Luo Jiu patted his belly without caring about the image, and slumped down on the chair.
"I used to eat at the Mystery Bureau. Those people were all workaholics and couldn't think of eating every day. The cafeteria was very unpalatable."
"What's the point of life without food? Without fireworks, life will become boring."
Listening to Luo Jiu's thoughts on life, Yu Yi could also hear a sense of vicissitudes of life in her words.
She must have had the experience of being homeless and not having enough to eat in these years.
"Then why don't you know how to cook?"
"I will do it!"
Luo Jiu said angrily, and then turned his face away.
"I'm just not skilled at it."
Yu Yi looked at Luo Jiu and suddenly thought of something.
"Um...do you wish Indo?"
Luo Jiu turned his head in horror and opened his eyes wide.
"Are you also concerned about the little girl's money?"
"Aren't you over three hundred years old?"
"You can't be a little girl if you are over three hundred years old?"
"..."
Yu Yi stared at Luo Jiu. The profession of Fortune Master seemed to be a powerful profession. He also worked in the Mystery Bureau. How could he have no money?
Yu Yi was still thinking about cooking in exchange for blessing seals.
"You must have no money, right? Where are your three hundred years of savings?"
"Indeed not."
Luo Jiu spread his hands and showed a helpless expression.
"My expenses are also very high. Where can I get the savings?"
Only then did Yu Yi realize that she had to maintain the shrine of Lord Fu Yuan by herself, otherwise it would become as desolate as her own mountains, seas, caves and sky, and she would be a poor debtor.
What's even more pity is that no one worships this down-and-out blessed Lord.
Having said this, Luo Jiu suddenly looked at Yu Yi with his big eyes flashing, showing a begging expression.
"Would you like to offer it to me and give it a try? It's very effective."
