"Senior, I'm really not a good person. How many years ago was this villa built? Do you know what two thousand years is?"
"Haha, I definitely know some concepts, I'm afraid you don't." The other party's tone suddenly overflowed with a sense of vicissitudes of a thousand-year-old demon.
Probably, the only thing left in the imprisoned life is selling the vicissitudes of time.
"This villa area was built one hundred and twenty-three years ago. The owner of Villa No. 9 was Zhiling's previous owner. In this era, he was once considered a prominent person. However, after all, he was just a transitional choice.
That’s all.”
"Oh? Since it has an owner, why did you choose me? Where is the owner of this villa?"
Jiang Yue vaguely seemed to understand why the other party was yelling at the paper charm.
Could it be that that piece of paper talisman has water-based properties and is easily changed by different ideas?
"Why did I choose you? You must have been born with bad attributes? As for the owner of the villa, he is probably in trouble."
"Cold?"
All right!
Jiang Yue could barely accept this statement. The normal life span was only seventy or eighty years.
This villa is more than a hundred years old. The person who owned this villa at that time must have been at least 150 years old.
It's logical that it's cold.
"If I remember correctly, you should be the 81st owner of this rune."
Eighty-one term?
This must be the establishment of more than half of the company.
Having said that, if we stretch out the timeline and measure it over thousands of years, it doesn’t seem like that much, right?
Here comes the problem.
With so many predecessors, are they all bad guys without exception?
The other party seemed to be able to penetrate Jiang Yue's thoughts: "You guessed it right, none of your previous predecessors have successfully controlled Zhiling."
"You may not know that if you don't successfully control it, you will have to pay a price."
"Pay a price? Like?"
"For example...hehe, look at me, the person you are talking to now is a cat, a relief hanging on the wall."
"Speaking of which, I am quite lucky. Because it requires a messenger, a guide to deceive new people."
"Where are the other exes?"
"God knows, I'm guessing it's already cold." The other person didn't seem to care much about it. According to what he said, after living for thousands of years, who cares about the life and death of insignificant people?
Following the logic of this context, Jiang Yue felt that he would soon become his ex.
"Senior...last question: It has chosen me. As Party B, I have the right to refuse, right?"
"Haha, how could you say you are young? Are you talking about rights and rejection in front of Party A's father? Are you too naive?"
"Of course, speaking of it, there is a way to refuse."
"What?"
"Take the initiative to become your ex."
Jiang Yue almost couldn't help spitting out the fragrance. You're a lot older, and you don't have any moral integrity. What good will a venomous tongue do to you?
Jiang Yue's playful eyes turned back and forth between the two embossed sculptures on both sides of the living room, and finally his eyes stopped on the cat-shaped relief.
"Ex, I advise you to be kind. Do you think that seeing me as unlucky can help you to have a better psychological balance? Since we are all unlucky, why should we be so hard-pressed?"
Jiang Yue was not a good person either. The other party's venomous tongue made him unhappy, and his title changed from senior to ex in an instant.
"Haha, don't get too proud yet. As far as I know, every time Zhiling finds a new love, there will be a meeting gift. Big data shows that among all your exes, 26 of them failed the first test.
This is called a cannon fodder predecessor."
Jiang Yue complained endlessly.
Isn't it just a delivery? This hole is too big.
The most important thing is, what is the content of this first test?
Even if it's going to be cold, it has to be cold, right? Jiang Yue didn't want to be confused and be arranged by others for no reason.
Just as Jiang Yue was in doubt, the two big eyes of the cat-shaped relief suddenly opened, and two laser-like beams of light came straight towards him.
Jiang Yue had no time to react as two beams of light shot straight into his brain.
It was as if electricity was suddenly turned on and a kind of energy was activated in his mind.
"Don't resist, this is the reboot of the 'Intelligence'. After the reboot, you will be its master. As for how long the time limit is, it depends on your personal destiny."
Wisdom!
Jiang Yue had heard these two words mentioned many times.
Is that the name of that paper charm? It doesn't sound that annoying.
The process of restarting actually only takes a few seconds, but the amount of information Jiang Yue received in his mind seemed to have gone through countless reincarnations.
In these few seconds, countless pictures passed by quickly, frame by frame.
There are scenes of ancient giants holding huge bone spurs and fighting ancient beasts; there are scenes of heavily armed armies besieging cities; there are shocking scenes of seawater flooding and the earth sinking; there are also scenes of countless giant starships gathering to besiege starry sky fortresses.
…
The last scene was actually: a monster with a hollow face, wearing a long black cloak, with teeth and claws, carrying a gloomy wind, waving a white sickle, and slashed towards Jiang Yue's neck.
Ding dong!
Restart successful.
An interface appeared in Jiang Yue's mind.
There are five words on the interface: Newbie greeting gift.
There are two options on the bottom line, accept or not.
Judging from the information provided by the cat-shaped relief who claimed to be the guide, if Party A chooses not to accept it, Party A's father will most likely do something tragic.
It looks like a double-choice question, but it's actually a single-choice question.
I am the humble Party B.
So, accept it!
"Newbie meeting gift: aura of immunity from all evil, duration, 24 hours."
"Novice mission: Track the Year Eaters. Time limit: 24 hours."
"Task reward: obtained randomly after completing the task."
After the interface stayed for three seconds, it disappeared in my mind.
Jiang Yue curled his lips, looking at the posture he just started, Jiang Yue thought it would be a lie if he said he wasn't a little excited.
Although the system dad is late, he is finally here.
Although the cat-shaped relief ex has always been sarcastic, Jiang Yue has always regarded him as a nagging and plaintive ex.
He didn't take this kind of resentment-like complaint completely seriously.
Especially the scenes that flashed when the intelligence was activated. Although every frame was a fleeting glimpse, none of them could be grasped clearly.
But it didn't stop Jiang Yue from feeling superior.
How could such a grand launch scene also have some spectacular plot, right?
His pants were down to his knees, and then he released a newbie mission?
No psychological counseling at all? No humanistic care at all?
Jiang Yue swore that this was the most irresponsible system he had ever seen. If it could be called a system...
Then, no matter how many times he called, this thing always pretended to be dead.
Jiang Yue was speechless.
Glancing sympathetically at the cat-shaped relief in the corner, Jiang Yue suddenly felt some inexplicable empathy, and he finally understood a little bit of his previous resentment.
With such a moody thing, it would be difficult to control one's emotions after being with him for a long time, right?
What's more, after the breakup, he was imprisoned, and what was even more outrageous was that he was turned into a cat, and a solid cat at that!
There shouldn't be many crueler operations in the world than this, right?
"Boy, are you trembling?" The cat-shaped relief did not change its urinary nature of gloating over misfortune.
"Do you want to know what will happen if the newbie fails to complete the task?"
"Do you know the meaning of the words cannon fodder ex?"
Jiang Yue couldn't complain. Is this ex so extreme that he can't tell the difference between a good person and a good person, and would quarrel with everyone he met?
Jiang Yue sighed: "I just want to know if there are hammers in this villa."
"What do you want a hammer for?"
"I would also like to know if the hammer can shut you up."
The other party's voice suddenly became sharp: "No, you absolutely can't do this! You have just inherited intelligence, and you still need the guidance of my predecessor."
"Furthermore, I am the designated guide of Zhiling. If you mess with me, who will do this job? Aren't you afraid of offending Zhiling and humanely destroying you on the spot?"
Huh? Jiang Yue rubbed his chin and looked at the cat-shaped relief meaningfully. It seems that the other person is just a king with a strong mouth. Even the hammer is afraid of being like this bird. How can he live for thousands of years?
If there really is a world of monsters, this coward will definitely be a shame to the monster world.
"Little brother, don't be impulsive. You have to admit that an old guy like me who has lived for thousands of years always has some experience. Maybe I can help you."
It can basically be confirmed that this guy is definitely a master who will take hard work but not take soft sides.
"It's okay if I don't hit you! Answer me a few questions honestly."
"Just ask, I will tell you everything I know."
People who are mean-mouthed are often very aware of current affairs.
Even before Jiang Yue started to torture him, he was ready to surrender in advance.
