Quick Wear: The host is really just a substitute!

Chapter 849: The 7 Constellations of Professional Stuntmen (62)

"Shengsheng, what did you say to Lin Jing?"

As soon as Lin Jing left the box, Lu Xingyi couldn't wait to ask.

His fingers were still tightly clasped around Song Yuesheng's wrist; the force was not strong, but it carried a sense of not allowing anyone to break free.

Song Yuesheng patted the back of his hand gently, as if to comfort an anxious large dog: "How can you casually tell a girl's secret? But don't worry, it has nothing to do with you."

"Shengsheng!" Lu Xingyi frowned, a hint of uneasiness flashing in his eyes.

He knew her too well.

Whenever she spoke in such an understated tone, she often concealed the most important things.

Song Yuesheng sighed and compromised, "Okay, I won't say anything. But even if I don't say it, you will probably find a way to find out, right?"

Lu Xingyi snorted softly, and his fingertips unconsciously rubbed her wrist bones: "Mainly because I didn't expect you two would be friends."

His voice was muffled.

There was nothing between him and Lin Jing, but what should he do if Lin Jing told Sheng Sheng something?

"In fact, I just remembered it recently." Song Yuesheng stood up with his help. "We were very young when we met, and we were only together during the three days of the May Day holiday."

Her tone was calm, but she frowned secretly in her heart.

Lin Jing walked too fast.

She didn't have time to ask the most crucial question: Is the original Lin Jing still alive?

Because of the special situation, Song Yuesheng was not sure whether to help the host Lin Jing complete the mission in this world, or to help the original Lin Jing drive away the host.

What made her even more suspicious was Lin Jing's words.

How can people who are trying to survive in the end times have the leisure time to read novels?

How could he be selected by the system for the reason of "complaining about the heroine being too cowardly"?

Song Yuesheng's fingertips tightened slightly.

Either Lin Jing was hiding something and didn't want her to know the real purpose of being kidnapped, or 2233 was lying to Lin Jing.

"Sparrow Spirit, the fact that you can contact 2233 means that your level of authority is higher than 2233, right?"

Blue Sparrow was playing Landlord online with 2233 in the virtual space. He had a good hand of cards in his claws, but he was startled when he heard the words and immediately exited the game interface.

"Uh... Yes, that's it, Sister Yue!" It flapped its wings, its voice changing with nervousness, "What's wrong? Are we going to eliminate the host of 2233?"

"There are some things that need to be confirmed." Song Yuesheng replied calmly, "Otherwise I will feel uncomfortable."

She was half-hugged and half-carried by Lu Xingyi and brought into the villa. The garden lights outside the floor-to-ceiling windows cast a dim light in the rain and fog.

Lu Xingyi was quietly contacting a private Chinese doctor, his slender fingers sliding quickly across the phone screen, and he glanced at her worriedly from time to time.

Song Yuesheng sank into the soft sofa and continued to communicate with the system in his mind: "Go and talk to 2233, and find out the real reason why it is bound to Lin Jing, and what happened to the original owner Lin Jing, and whether they came here because she died."

She paused, "We've been working together for so long, you should know how to ask questions instead of asking directly, right?"

The blue sparrow puffed out its virtual chest, and its feathers fluffed up with pride.

"Don't worry, Sister Yue! I still have some tricks to talk~"

Song Yuesheng nodded slightly, but the next second, he fell completely silent after hearing the beginning of the Sparrow Spirit's simulated conversation.

When Blue Sparrow saw that she didn't respond for a long time, he realized something was wrong.

It asked, "Sister Yue, is there something wrong with the sentence 'Let's talk about how we found the host'? Shouldn't you start it this way?"

Song Yuesheng: "..."

She suddenly wanted to know how the system headquarters could entrust such an important task as "repairing the substitute world destroyed by defectors" to this silly bird.

"Remember." She pinched her brows and taught word by word in her mind, "First, say "The host matching algorithm seems to have been updated recently", and then naturally transition to "Have the host selection criteria for this batch of you changed?"..."

Her thinking was as meticulous as a chess player's layout, and she had even rehearsed responses to possible questions and evasions from 2233.

Just when I was talking about the key point, I suddenly felt a warm touch on my ankle.

Song Yuesheng suddenly came back to her senses and found that Lu Xingyi had knelt at her feet without her knowing when.

His palm was against her skin, his fingertips gently massaging the red and swollen area, his strength was incredibly gentle.

The warm yellow floor lamp cast a soft glow on his profile, making even his usually sharp jawline appear gentle.

"Does it hurt?" He suddenly looked up and gently circled his ankle with his thumb, with a hint of nervousness in his eyes.

Song Yuesheng was helpless: "Don't tell me that there is not even a decent Chinese medicine doctor in City A."

"Chinese medicine wants to touch you."

Lu Xingyi spoke confidently, his fingertips slightly tightened on her ankles, like a silent declaration.

"Here, here, and here—" His fingers moved up along the skin, his eyes darkening, "You have to touch them all."

Song Yuesheng: "..."

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and decided to skip the topic.

"How's the matter I asked you to investigate?"

Lu Xingyi paused and looked up blankly: "What?"

"Shen Zhirang." She said calmly, "Has there been any strange women around him? Identity information, background and origins - I want to see the details now."

Lu Xingyi's eyes darkened instantly.

"Shengsheng." His voice was low and hoarse, and his knuckles tightened unconsciously, "You have feelings for him...?"

Song Yuesheng stared at him quietly for a few seconds, and suddenly chuckled. "Don't tell me that you didn't check anything for such a long time."

Lu Xingyi's Adam's apple rolled, and he stood up suddenly: "Doctor Sun said that he needs to boil some more Chinese medicine. I'll go buy it now."

Song Yuesheng sneered and directly dialed Si Shu's number.

"I asked you to look up the details of Shen Zhirang's jailbreak, as well as the women around him..." Her voice was calm and clear, "I want the information now."

Lu Xingyi narrowed his eyes, his eyes were as dark as ink.

There are only two people that Shengsheng has @ed in the group.

Besides him, there is Si Shu.

"Shengsheng!" He grabbed her wrist, his voice filled with suppressed anger and anxiety, "You can't be like this... You're here with me and still thinking about someone else?"

Song Yuesheng glanced at him calmly: "You missed the opportunity yourself."*

On the other end of the phone, Si Shu chuckled.

Although he didn't know what happened exactly, he always welcomed the opportunity to make his rival suffer a setback.

Si Shu's voice came through the receiver, with a hint of joy, "Should I send it to your email?"

He deliberately dragged out the last word, like a cat teasing its prey under its claws.

Song Yuesheng switched the phone to his left hand and said, "I don't believe you."

She tapped her nails twice on the armrest of the sofa.

"Read me two simple sentences, such as your name, age, and occupation."

"Do you know who it is?!"

Two sounds exploded at the same time.

Lu Xingyi leaned over suddenly, resting his hands on the back of the sofa beside her.

There was a clang sound from the phone, as if Si Shu had knocked over a wine glass.

Song Yuesheng held the phone farther away and pressed the hands-free button. "What does this have to do with you reading the materials?"

Lu Xingyi's knuckles turned white. "Shengsheng, you can't test me with this kind of thing."

His voice was tense, like a string stretched to its limit.

There was a sound of fabric rubbing over the phone, and Si Shu seemed to quickly adjust his posture: "It was Song Yue who had a divorce with Pei Peiyu some time ago." His speech speed suddenly increased, "But she is a very strange person, Shengsheng, I was afraid that you would suffer, so I kept it a secret... Will you blame me?"

The last sentence was deliberately soft, with a flattering attempt.

Song Yuesheng chuckled: "That's the good thing about you."

——In matters other than love, always obedient and reliable.

"What?" Si Shu didn't hear clearly.

"It's okay." She bent her knees and pressed against Lu Xingyi who was getting closer and closer. "Send the information over and check her whereabouts." She tapped Lu Xingyi's eyebrows with her fingertips and pushed him away. "Don't alert the enemy."

After dealing with the matter of "Lin Jing", it is time to keep a close eye on Song Yue in the dark.

Although it is now known on the Internet that Ban Xiao's appearance was "plastic surgery", this is not a big problem, and no one knows whether the defector has any other tricks up his sleeve.

Song Yuesheng gave a few more instructions and flatly rejected Si Shu's proposal to meet tomorrow.

After hanging up the phone, she looked up at Lu Xingyi's hesitant expression and sighed helplessly: "What do you want to say?"

Lu Xingyi's Adam's apple rolled and his lips were pursed into a tight line.

He lowered his eyelashes, the shadows covering the surging emotions in his eyes, and after a while he whispered, "I didn't investigate Shen Zhirang... because I was afraid you would leave me."

His fingers unconsciously stroked the edge of the sofa, his voice hoarse: "After all, the Shen family has raised you for fourteen years. I'm afraid that you... will be soft-hearted towards Shen Zhirang because of the Shen family's parents."

At this point, Lu Xingyi suddenly raised his eyes and locked them on her with a burning gaze, "Shengsheng, you are too soft-hearted sometimes."

Song Yuesheng pulled the corner of his mouth, a hint of absurdity flashed in his eyes: "Am I out of my mind to look at him differently?"

She leaned forward slightly and looked him straight in the eyes, "Besides, what does this have to do with whether I leave you or not?"

Lu Xingyi's breathing stagnated slightly.

He stared at Song Yuesheng's eyes, which were so close to him, and his shadow was clearly reflected in them.

But he felt that she was always one step away from him and he could not catch her no matter what.

"You know." Lu Xingyi's voice was low and hoarse, his fingers curled up, and he didn't dare to touch her again. "Shengsheng, if you are soft-hearted once, you will be soft-hearted a second time... If Shen Zhirang begs you by using his parents' relationship, can you really harden your heart and ignore it?"

Song Yuesheng looked at him quietly for two seconds, then suddenly smiled.

"Lu Xingyi." She called his name slowly, "Did you try this out on me?"

Lu Xingyi's pupils suddenly shrank, as if he was a beast that had been stabbed in the vitals.

"Sheng Sheng!"

He suddenly grabbed her wrist, with such force that it almost left a bruise, but the moment he touched her skin, he softened his touch and turned it into a trembling caress, "You've already left once... I can't bear another five years."

He rested his forehead against her fingertips, his voice choking.

"No, not even for a day..."

Thunder rumbled outside the window, and rain began to hit the glass

Lu Xingyi stroked the pale blue veins on her wrist, the strong emotions in his eyes almost turning into reality: "I know this is wrong... but when you are not around, I can't help but think..."

"Are you tired of it? Have you believed their slander? Are you... afraid of the dirty deeds of the Lu family? Afraid that you will leave because of these things..."

Song Yuesheng lowered her eyes and looked at the wrist he was holding, without pulling away.

"I'm sorry." Her voice was so light it sounded like a sigh, "I've ruined your life."

Deep in her consciousness, she called out calmly: "Sparrow Spirit, if we catch the defector... can this world be reset? It doesn't matter whether I am here or not."

Blue Sparrow's voice was rarely hesitant: "... Wait a moment, Sister Yue, I'll contact the headquarters right away."

Lu Xingyi's whole body stiffened.

He held her face in his hands, his voice so gentle it hurt: "Shengsheng, between us... we should never use the word 'ruin'."

Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed outside the window, illuminating half of Song Yuesheng's cold face.

A rainstorm is coming.

After a moment of silence, Song Yuesheng slowly spoke: "Okay, then let's not talk about it. This matter ends here. Don't think about unhappy things."

Lu Xingyi responded softly: "...Yeah."

He lowered his eyes to hide the darkness surging in them.

He was too impatient.

He thought that now Shengsheng could cry and laugh like a normal person, and he could have the whole of her. But she still didn't understand "love" and couldn't love him.

When it comes to love, she will just analyze and solve it calmly like handling work.

Thinking about how he had turned Shengsheng into such a culprit, Lu Xingyi's knuckles turned white.

He hated himself for letting Shen Zhirang die too easily just for the sake of quick results.

"What are you thinking about?" Song Yuesheng asked suddenly.

Lu Xingyi raised his eyes, and his expression instantly became gentle: "I was thinking you could stay with me for a few days."

He seemed to be playing with the ends of her hair carelessly. "Do you want to stay with me to recover from your injuries, or... go and find Lin Jing to reminisce about the past?"

Song Yuesheng: "..."

This is Minghan, right?

She said that she and Lin Jing were doing some unspeakable secret.

**

The next morning.

After Lu Xingyi went to work, Song Yuesheng went to a traditional Chinese medicine clinic to see a professional doctor to check her ankle.

I felt relieved after confirming that there was no problem.

And the Sparrow Spirit's test also paid off - 2233 deceived Lin Jing, not because he bound her to the novel because she complained about the heroine's cowardice, but because Lin Jing was an employee of a marginal department at the system headquarters.

Lin Jing was not proactive in doing her tasks and was always ranked last, which resulted in the Borderline Department always being ranked last in performance. The Director of the Borderline Department praised Lin Jing to the Director of the Female Lead Department, saying that being ranked last was a result of the boss being a bit of a jerk in controlling the scores, and he persuaded her to transfer her to the Female Lead Department.

As a result, the novice encountered the sparrow spirit when he went to the headquarters to receive the award. As soon as 2233 sent the plot to Lin Jing, he was arranged by the headquarters to take over the task of Song Yuesheng. As a result, when he returned...

Lin Jing was tricked by the male villain into losing her memory of the system headquarters, and thought she was a person from the end of the world, so 2233 had to play along...

After listening to the Sparrow Spirit's narration, Song Yuesheng couldn't help but sigh that the system headquarters really had all kinds of departments.

"By the way, where is the original Lin Jing?"

"Sister Yue, this is the bad news I want to tell you." Blue Sparrow's voice was very depressed, "2233 said that the only way for them to enter the mission world is for the original owner to die."

"For example, if the original owner's death date is today, after the original owner dies, 2233 and her host will immediately take over the original owner's body. After rationalizing the desire to die, they will perform the mission as the original owner."

Blue Sparrow paused, then continued, "Sister Yue, it's better for us to enter a certain stage of the original owner at any time~"

Song Yuesheng interrupted Blue Sparrow's joy.

"Go find out when they will arrive. If they arrive later than the time of announcement of Mission 2233, we have to get rid of Lin Jing and - outsiders cannot steal Lin Jing's identity. Only then can we complete Mission ."

"If it's earlier than Mission 2233, hurry up and ask to inquire about the progress of the headquarters, or you can go and ask."
