"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing this mission. The reward will be received after returning to the main world."
"After the mission is completed, the host can return at any time. If he does not make a choice, he will be forced to return within 48 hours."
'Well? Is this done?'
The cold mechanical sound in my mind directly diluted the joy of reunion. It had been less than half a year since I entered this dungeon world, and at this time, there was a reminder that the mission was completed. This world can be said to be the shortest among all dungeons.
'Is it possible that this mission was forcibly pulled in by the system?'
But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense. The original owner Xiaozhuang has two regrets. One is Xiaoying's death, and the other is retirement. According to the current situation, neither of these two situations can happen. It can barely complete the task.
make sense.
However, Li Jie still felt that the process of this mission was a bit abnormal. This mission was the first time that the system forced him into a dungeon without his consent.
Weird!
So weird!
Moreover, the time it took to complete the task was also very short. It felt like it started but ended at the end. Could it be that the correction had been completed in the external system? Li Jie clearly remembered that the reason why the system had this mutation happened to be that he had the idea to go out to investigate.
After the thought.
Putting the two together, it is easy to get the idea that there may be some unknown connection between the two.
'That's it, that's all, it's useless to think about it any more. Let's go back to the main world and talk about the facts.'
The system has always been a cold and aloof group. No matter how much Li Jie thinks about it, he can't get a direct answer from the system. Anyway, now it says that the task has been completed and he can return to the main world in 48 hours.
"Black monkey!"
"Black monkey!"
"what are you thinking about?"
Seeing that Li Jie didn't respond for a long time, Xiaoying couldn't help but stretched out her hands and waved them in front of his eyes.
Li Jie held her hands and smiled slightly: "It's nothing. By the way, I forgot to tell you that my superiors granted me half a month's leave this time. I will always be here during this time."
When Xiaoying heard this, the boss opened her mouth and looked very surprised. Unlike before, she already knew that Li Jie was not a warehouse keeper, but a member of the special forces. Warehouse 026 was a first-level confidentiality unit to the outside world. If it hadn't been for Xiaoying
Because of Fei, she was not qualified to know the inside story. Although she was not one of them, how could she not have seen pigs running if she had never eaten pork.
There were so many people from the army coming and going in their main hospital, including many senior officials. Coupled with Xiao Fei's presence, it was hard for her to imagine that Li Jie would have half a month's leave. After thinking about it for a moment, she thought that he
He must have completed some very dangerous mission, otherwise he wouldn't have had such a long vacation.
As I thought about it, Xiaoying's eyes became covered with a layer of mist, and she was about to cry.
Li Jie gently took Xiaoying in his arms and whispered in her ear: "Fool, what are you thinking about? My vacation this time is not because of what you think."
Xiaoying raised her head and looked at Li Jie eagerly. Her big eyes flickered and she asked softly, "What's that for?"
"Because I got first-class personal merit last time, and my superiors knew that we spend less time together and stay apart more often, so we were granted a family leave of half a month!"
As Li Jie spoke, he pinched her little face affectionately. Only then did Xiaoying realize that she was in the outpatient hall. Her face suddenly turned red. She first patted away Li Jie's strange big hand, and then twisted it.
left his arms.
"Really?" Xiaoying lowered her head shyly, stretched out her hand and tugged on Li Jie's sleeve, "I'm telling you, don't try to lie to me. I will be angry when I find out."
Li Jie quietly told a white lie and said in a sincere tone: "Really!"
Xiaoying tilted her head and glanced at Li Jie doubtfully, then nodded after a moment.
"Okay, I'll believe you for now!"
"Wait for me here first, I still have some time to do something else."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiaoying hurried to the direction she came from. She was going to ask Xiaofei to do her a favor and ask for a leave from the hospital leader. Of course, it wouldn't be as long as half a month, but with Xiaofei's reputation
It shouldn't be a problem to take a short vacation of three or two days.
Although Xiao Fei was a little reluctant to see the two of them sleeping together, she couldn't bear it when she saw Xiao Ying's pleading look. After a fierce ideological struggle, she finally agreed to Xiao Ying's request, and Xiao Ying got his wish.
I got two days of vacation.
Xiaoying plans to use these two days to finish the unfinished business of the last time he was hospitalized. He will use a vivid and appropriate word to describe it.
The tree-lined path you yearn for is covered with white dew every morning and night.
Two days passed by in a flash, and the system's cold mechanical prompt sounded in Li Jie's mind on time.
"Ding, 48 hours have expired. Since the host has not chosen to return, the forced return will now begin."
In the blink of an eye, Li Jie returned to the main world again. Since this dungeon mission was short, the memory infusion brought almost no burden. However, the strong sense of dissonance that changed the world in one breath was lingering.
of.
Li Jie raised his head and glanced at the time on the center console.
19:35!
'No! I remember I looked at the clock when I came out of the house, and it was only 19:25.'
Li Jie turned to look out the window again. The street lights on the Central Viaduct were emitting a dim light. The neon lights on the tall buildings further away were colorful and lit up in various colors. Among them, the most eye-catching signboard read.
Red Star Macalline!
Li Jie closed his eyes and re-read the memories in his mind. He clearly remembered that he lost consciousness not long after getting in the car. When he regained consciousness, he was already in the dungeon world. From his home to where he is now, the road was smooth.
It also takes five minutes.
It is now 7:35 pm, and today is not a working day, so there is not much traffic on the elevated highway.
What happened in this missing time?
'Hey, wait.'
Li Jie opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the cab. Sure enough, there was a camera on the front of the car.
"Master, I don't like leaving images to the outside world. Can you delete the footage you just took?"
The driver glanced at Li Jie's handsome face through the rearview mirror. This was not the first time he heard such a request from a passenger. To be honest, he was very annoyed by the monitor and wanted to remove it.
"Hey, here it is, take it and delete it yourself!"
Li Jie reached out and took the mobile phone handed over by the driver. The screen was very simple, with only a few APPs. At a glance, he could see an APP called Monitoring Butler.
He pretended to fiddle with his phone a few times, and while the driver wasn't paying attention, he quietly scrolled through the few minutes he lost consciousness.
'I hope this ghost probe can give me a little surprise!'
