No one notified me in advance. Everyone in the end times is crazy.

Octopus tank No. 558

He Gui's breathing gradually became steady. In his dream, he came to a chaotic space with no sky or earth. It was pitch black all around, so dark that he couldn't see his own hand in front of his face.

Where is this?

Suddenly, a beam of light descended before him, cunning as the bright moon.

A one-armed man stood in the light and stretched out his hand to him: "Shou Shou, come here."

He Gui couldn't see his face clearly, but he knew that his silver hair was very long, so long that it covered the ground like a waterfall.

"who are you?"

The man did not respond, nor did he retract his outstretched hand.

Do we know each other?

There has still been no response.

He Gui felt that this person was very familiar, so familiar that his body involuntarily moved towards him.

"Return!"

Upon hearing the sound, He Gui suddenly turned around, and before he knew it, another light had appeared behind him.

Luo Shiyu stood there, smiling, and stretched out her hand to him: "Guigui, come to me!"

"it is good."

Without hesitation, He Gui turned and ran towards Luo Shiyu. The man standing behind him had a hint of relief on his usually calm face. He closed his eyes and let his body turn into a stream of light and be swallowed by the darkness.

"Guigui~ Hurry up!"

Luo Shiyu opened her arms, waiting for He Gui to pounce on her.

"Xiaoyu, I'm here."

The moment He Gui's hand touched the light and shadow, countless golden rays transformed into chains that emerged from the darkness, like nimble tentacles that firmly bound Luo Shiyu and forcibly pulled him into the coffin that appeared from the void.

"Xiaoyu! No!"

No matter how hard He Gui tried to catch up, there was always a distance between them, just a little bit away, but they could never touch each other.

Suddenly, a violent tremor shook the space. After a dizzying spin, the space above was torn open by bare hands, and a "giant" peered through the crack at the farce.

Like a human watching goldfish in a fish tank, he reached out and scooped up the coffin containing Luo Shiyu.

Take him away from this "fish tank".

He Gui could only run helplessly in the darkness. His desperate cries were nothing more than an amusing acrobatic performance in that person's eyes.

"Wait...give me back...Xiao Yu!" He Gui shouted, waking up from his dream.

The dream's realism left He Gui unable to calm down for a long time; his clothes were soaked with sweat, and his body was still trembling uncontrollably.

That feeling of helplessness—that something was right in front of him, within reach, yet he couldn't hold onto it no matter what he did—lingered in his mind.

“Xiaoyu…”

"Xiaoyu?"

"Xiao Yu!"

The bed still held the warmth of Luo Shiyu. He Gui threw off the covers and rushed to the kitchen, pulling the other person tightly into his arms, which finally relieved the emptiness he felt.

While she was cooking, Luo Shiyu was suddenly pulled into someone's arms, leaving her completely bewildered.

"What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"

"Ah."

Are you hungry?

"Ah."

"..."

An eerie silence fell over the air for a few minutes before Luo Shiyu finally snapped and yelled, "Let me go if you're hungry! How am I supposed to cook while you're holding me like this?!"

"Then I won't eat it."

"Huh? You're planning to starve yourself to death and make me regret it for the rest of my life, right?"

"No, let me hold you a little longer."

"What kind of dream could have scared you like that?"

"Someone is trying to take you from me."

Upon hearing this, Luo Shiyu burst out laughing.

"Who's going to take it from you? Xiaoming?"

"No." He Gui recalled the dream he had just had, but strangely, the more he thought about it, the more blurry it became, and he could no longer remember what the person looked like.

"An imaginary love rival?"

“No…” He Gui covered his head and tried hard to remember: “Hair, blond hair…man.”

"What?"

The almost tearing pain made it impossible for He Gui to continue recalling the events. He shook his head and said, "No, I can't remember."

Luo Shiyu was completely baffled.

【What? I'd better cook first.】

Luo Shiyu had intended to just coax He Gui and finish making breakfast, but to her surprise, He Gui became unusually clingy, like a conjoined twin.

No matter what she did all day, Luo Shiyu had to accompany her. Even when she went to the toilet, if she showed the slightest sign of refusal, He Gui would drag her into a small dark room and bully her severely.

Luo Shiyu was in a terrible predicament. She had finally managed to escape He Gui and go to Wang Rui to get through the three-hour transformation gap, only to receive a shocking piece of news.

"What! You're saying our adjustment period has been shortened to three days, but the mission time has been extended to three months?"

"Ah."

"We're newcomers!"

"Ah."

“But I just told Big Ice Cube yesterday that I could spend six days with him.”

"Ah."

"What should we do? If we suddenly tell him we're leaving early and coming back late, a simple investigation will easily trace it back to Wang Xiaobao!"

"Ah."

"Brother! Say something!"

"Haven't I been saying this all along?"

"Does that count too?"

"Ah."

"Brother~"

Wang Rui shook his head, indicating that he could not help.

Luo Shiyu sighed and said, "I'll think of a way myself."

Having racked his brains without finding a good solution, Luo Shiyu slapped his forehead and decided: Just go ahead and do it first, then ask for permission later.

I hope that when I come back, I'll still be able to get out of bed.

Since deciding to slip away without reporting, Luo Shiyu has stopped resisting He Gui's exploitation and has allowed him to ravage her.

Why have you been so well-behaved these past two days?

He Gui was quite happy that Luo Shiyu, the little kitten, had finally stopped showing her claws.

Luo Shiyu remained silent, only plotting in her mind how to slip away tomorrow.

"Go play with your brother for a while, I'm busy later."

He Gui kissed Luo Shiyu's forehead and released him from under him. He didn't want Luo Shiyu to hear the contents of the meeting that followed.

"Okay, send me a message when you're done."

"it is good."

Luo Shiyu knocked on Wang Rui's door several times but no one answered, so he simply found a public toilet, transformed back into Wang Xiaobao, and went to find his friends.

They were having lunch at the time; there were four people, but one was missing.

Where is Jiajia? (Words in the notebook)

Speaking of this, Wen Feiyu became furious. She put down her chopsticks and couldn't eat anymore.

"Where else could he have gone? On a date, of course. He's such a simp, bringing her food and buying her bubble tea every day."

[Being someone's lapdog? That doesn't seem like something Jiajia would do.]

The story begins two days ago...

I told Wang Rui the day before that I wanted to join the archives department, and I received the message as promised the next morning.

Following the coordinates on the AI, I found his temporary workplace. Everyone there was very busy, indicating a shortage of manpower.

"They've finally sent someone." The person who said this was Nan Wan. She looked at Yu Jiajia, then at the door, and asked doubtfully, "Are you alone?"

"Well, I'm just here to do some temporary work and earn some pocket money."

"I understand, after all, the work here is tedious and complicated. Come with me, and I'll explain the specific job details to you."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, senior."

"No need to be so formal, you can call me Xiaowan or Wanwan."

"Sister Wanwan."

"You're quick-witted, newbie. I'm sure you'll adapt to the job here soon."

"Sister Wanwan, you flatter me."
