【Gui Yi】
This was the na that belonged to him.
He was an abandoned child—unknown origins, unknown parents, unknown birth date.
In this vast world, perhaps it didn't really care about having one more orphan like him.
People always had their own troubles, their own misfortunes, endlessly tangled in their own affairs, and wouldn't spare any extra attention for others.
For Gui Yi as an ordinary person, living healthily was already the greatest blessing from heaven.
If you asked him about where he ca from, Gui Yi would tell you it was a sowhat shabby orphanage—dusty gray walls, sowhat faded secondhand toys, nutritional als that tasted rather strange—these seed to form his entire childhood.
His connection to the world was so shallow, drifting through human society like an unnoticed wisp of a ghost.
If soone ntioned him, those who knew him would recall a sowhat blurry figure in their minds—they would rember a boy with curly black hair who seed to love laughing, with two little canine teeth.
His grades were neither outstanding nor terrible, he drifted through the class, and seed to get along reasonably well with those around him.
His personality was quite cheerful, he talked a lot, and people always described him as 'energetic'.
If you wanted to dig deeper and ask if there were any particularly morable things about him, they would say there wasn't anything more.
People would feel puzzled—couldn't they already grasp a concrete image from those descriptions?
They weren't particularly close to Gui Yi, and when they'd crossed paths briefly, rembering this much was already enough.
Those common, stereotypical phrases seed to compose that youth.
Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case, but it was indeed the actual situation.
That laughing youth—he seed to exist at every mont, yet also seed to never have existed at all—
"Bang—"
"Gui Yi, open the door!—"
"Buzz—"
The presence outside the door shouted out 【Gui Yi】's true na, and in that instant, Xiao Gui'an felt like his brain had been heavily hamred.
That faint barrier separating him from the world suddenly receded like a tide.
The real world was now operating, the gears of fate in this place had begun to turn, everything could no longer be manipulated, beyond what chanical abilities could achieve.
At the sa ti, the Zero System's backend data also received a ssage.
【The high-level permission unlock application submitted by Acting Main System 000 has undergone preliminary review. Please proceed to the 『 Hall』 for discussion...】
【Warning! Warning! Detected that one of the Acting Main Systems is currently located in 『***World』. The shielding barrier has been eliminated. World consciousness is generating rejection—
According to 【】 regulations, high-level main systems cannot exist, cannot be sought, cannot be speculated—
Warning! Warning! Secondary warning! Please return imdiately!! Please leave this world within ten seconds!】
Just when it rains, it pours!
【Host, host! Sothing major has happened! I have urgent official business that needs imdiate handling! I'm about to be kicked out of this world!】
Now Xiao Gui'an couldn't spare any concern for his newly acquired phone that hadn't even ward up yet. 【What? No way, Zero, in this situation you're not going to advance and retreat together with , but instead abandon ?!】
【Host, the one outside is soone we previously arranged for you, similar to a contact person for a pyramid sche organization. 『Gui Yi』 was previously soone under him helping with promotion. We barely managed to find this person, and he's just a low-level underling! It's perfect for 『Gui Yi』 to slip in unnoticed! The threat level isn't high!
Our luck is still pretty good—this is a place very far from the Chosen Ones of Fate.
Don't worry about mories and such, the system has implanted so shallow mories into their minds. The scope is very small and won't be detected as abnormal.
We've already input all your relevant identity information. You just need to play the role of 『Gui Yi』 according to your original plan.
When the Chosen One of Fate cos knocking, you absolutely must not reveal any flaws and let him detect anything wrong!—】
The system was spitting out dozens of words per second, clearly showing its urgency. 【The Proxy System will stay by your side. If you have any unclear points, you can consult it, but the signal... might be a bit poor... laggy... you... you...】
Xiao Gui'an couldn't hear anything beyond that—the Zero System's voice had completely disappeared from his consciousness space.
Xiao Gui'an: ...
【Zero? Zero?】
The consciousness space was completely empty, with no trace or response from the Little Light Sphere.
【System?】
【Proxy System?】
【Pre...sent...】 After a long while, that cold chanical voice finally responded to Xiao Gui'an with extre lag.
"Gui Yi! Don't think I don't know you're ho, kid! Open the door quickly!"
"Don't say Brother Money didn't take you along to make money later! Open the door! Don't slack off—"
"There's a big deal coming. Do you want in or not?"
"What's going on? Are you quitting, kid?"
The shouting outside the door grew louder, and it seed like whoever it was even kicked the door a couple of tis, showing extre rudeness.
Those illegal businesses were originally sothing Xiao Gui'an made up—he never expected similar situations would actually exist in the real world.
Actually, this wasn't surprising—there were always so gray market industries that would take huge risks for massive profits, daring to oppose the entire country's laws.
But according to what the Zero System just said, since the threat level wasn't high, then getting away should be pretty easy.
Since he'd already promised Xu Zisheng, then neither he himself nor 『Gui Yi』 could continue doing this.
Law-abiding good citizen—that wasn't just empty talk.
Plus, the situation at ho and his current appearance weren't suitable for eting people.
He put on his hoodie's hood, covering his dripping black curly hair, and walked to the door. Through the door panel, Xiao Gui'an lowered his voice, making it sound sowhat hoarse. "Sorry, I've caught a cold these past couple days. Can I take a break..."
The knocking outside stopped. "You're not dead, kid? Then why haven't you been making any noise?"
"Just a cold—it won't kill you! So your voice is hoarse—as long as you can still talk, that's fine. Open the door! Co work with —"
The person outside didn't seem willing to let 『Gui Yi』 off so easily, and kicked the door a couple more tis.
Their attitude was extrely bad, with the clear implication that if Xiao Gui'an didn't open the door, they'd just kick it open.
『Gui Yi』 was a poor kid without much money. His phone had just broken, and the door panel couldn't be destroyed too.
He gently opened the door, just cracking it slightly open, when suddenly a hand grabbed Xiao Gui'an by the collar and yanked him straight out, then a gun was pressed directly against his waist.
Xiao Gui'an: ...
ZERO!!!!!—
———————————————
"Step—"
The car door opened.
"Young man, you look unfamiliar. Are you from out of town?"
"Yeah, visiting a friend—"
The brown-haired young man who seed quite good-tempered replied as he got out of the car with his luggage and strode into this city called Chuancheng.
