Quadruple split

"Let me explain in advance that we are not here specifically to celebrate your birthday. Don't be too sentimental."

As soon as he entered the house, Yi Dong stuffed the turtle back to Mo Tan, then put on his slippers with ease, threw himself on the sofa and looked at the latter with a stern face: "It's just that there is a dinner party in the past two days. Plan, City B is our home ground again, we spent the last New Year at my house, this time it coincides with your birthday, so we all plan to come together, be happy!"

"I'm so happy. Why is it a break-up meal? Why a break-up meal?"

Mo Tan asked casually, then turned around and pushed the group of people crowded at the door into the room: "No need to change shoes, my place is not big, just go back and clean up. Come in and have a rest."

"Haha, it is said to be a break-up meal, but in fact we are about to start school. Students like Xiaoge and Xiaodao who started school early are actually already several days late, so we all have to hurry up and get out."

The tall Cui Xiaoyu explained the meaning of this "party dinner" while ducking the wind chimes and walking into the house. Then he shook the bag of ingredients in his hand: "Where to put this?"

"Just put it on the kitchen shelf. I didn't expect everyone to come over. I'll go out and replenish some ingredients later."

Mo Tan pointed in the direction of the kitchen, the amusement in his eyes quietly faded away, but he unknowingly returned to the state of 'absolute neutrality', and said with a smile: "I haven't had much time to deal with the school these years, and I almost forgot about it. It’s the back-to-school season now, you all want to eat something, I’m going to buy it right away, and I’ll be cooking when I get back.”

Then Yuchen frowned slightly and said hesitantly: "That..."

"What?"

Mo Tan looked over slightly nervously.

"Mo Tan, haven't you been writing a paper recently?"

The girl blinked and asked innocently: "It stands to reason that you should always deal with the school, right?"

"Hahahahahaha~!"

Yi Dong burst out laughing and fell from the sofa to the floor. Although he didn't say anything unnecessary, Mo Tan immediately understood this guy's thoughts from his wild laughter - you are the only one who has missed three classes this semester. How can you write a thesis when you have only been working for a month?

"Hahaha……"

Mo Tan gave a dry laugh. After hearing Yu Ying say that Yu Chen was actually just saying, "He was telling the truth," he knew that the excuse he had made casually before was probably exposed, so he simply transferred it without explaining it. The topic: "So what does everyone want to eat?"

The answers were an expected chorus of 'whatever', 'it's fine', 'it depends', and 'it doesn't matter'.

Many young people today have this kind of behavior. There is no particularity or specificity, as long as it is not unpalatable, and if it is a treat for friends or cooking, it does not matter even if it is slightly unpalatable. Anyway, the original intention of getting together is not to eat. , but I am more picky when ordering takeout.

But it’s not like there aren’t people who are more concerned about this aspect, for example…

"I'll go with you!"

Today, he wore a combination of David's coat + overalls + high-brimmed hat. Ji Xiaoge, who looked very hip-hop, was eager to try it out. He raised his hand happily and said, "Let Mo Tan, who is on the breaking day, cook alone." How inappropriate, let me help!”

"Broken... broken shell?!"

Mo Tan was stunned at first, and after reacting for a few seconds, he showed an expression of extreme horror, and swallowed with a pale face: "Help... help?!"

The girl with a very deceptive appearance nodded vigorously: "Yeah!"

"elder sister……"

Immediately afterwards, Ji Xiaodao, who had been standing next to Ji Xiaoge watching everyone chatting with cold eyes, helped to relieve the situation. He tugged on his sister's sleeves, shook his head and said, "Just stay and chat with everyone today."

"why!"

Ji Xiaoge looked unhappy.

"Because today is classmate Mo Tan's birthday."

"Then what?"

"It would be a bit inappropriate if it becomes a death anniversary."

"Xiao Dao! How could you say that about your sister?"

Ji Xiaoge hugged her sister with a look of grievance on her face and pitifully bumped her forehead against her chin: "Dad praised my progress in my skills last night! It took a lot of effort for me to muster up the confidence! You don't know that How ugly the bastard’s words are!”

"Bastard?"

Kang Lan, who was playing with the coffee pot, turned around and asked curiously: "What bastard?"

Ji Xiaoge pursed her lips with a gloomy expression: "It's okay!"

Ji Xiaodao rubbed his sister's hair and sighed helplessly: "Although dad did praise my sister for the improvement in your craft last night, but..."

"but?"

"I quit the game early this morning, around five o'clock."

"And then?"

"Dad is still holding the toilet in the toilet and vomiting."

"..."

Ji Xiaoge slid down from Ji Xiaodao's body softly, and sat on his knees on the floor as if the power was out, his face ashen.

Ji Xiaodao shook his head, lifted his sister up and placed her on the sofa opposite Yi Dong. He waved his hand to Mo Tan, who was standing frozen in the hall, meaning, "Sister, I have already done it for you. Go ahead and do what you need to do." . ’

Then Mo Tan handed the turtle in his hand to Yu Chen, who was leaning forward to help, and dragged Wan Yang, who seemed idle and idle, out to replenish ingredients.

…

at the same time

City B, Dexin District, B3F conference room of a courier company

"Wutong-chan, are you looking a little too bad today?"

Gu Yanyue blinked and looked at the man diagonally opposite who was lying on the chair like a dehydrated salted fish, and asked curiously: "Did Xiao Xi make something delicious for you again?"

The petite woman sitting next to the 'Wutong-chan' immediately shook her head and smiled softly: "It wasn't me, it was Xiao Ge who cooked last night's dinner."

The cool-looking guy next to Gu Yanyue... Yinan, Yidong's father, sighed leisurely and glanced at the woman named 'Xiao Xi': "Then the kid can order whatever you want. You have to do it." Learn how to cook.”

"Well……"

As a result, Xiao Xi shrank her neck and whispered: "You can't kill your child's hobby."

The silver-haired shota on the other side of the table, who looked to be only a teenager, sneered at this moment: "If Wan Yang also has this hobby, and her craftsmanship is as good as that of the eldest daughter of the Ye Xi family..."

"Tuck it back and regenerate."

The red-haired lady with her legs crossed next to her followed calmly without even raising her eyelids.

The black man next to Ye Xi poked the man in an elite suit next to him and said in a low voice: "Fortunately, our Lanlan is still normal."

"Hehe...hehe..."

The latter laughed dryly, but did not say anything about how his children used their 'sixth sense' to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages every time.

"It's almost done!"

The man Gu Yanyue called Wutong Jiang, who was lying on the chair like a salted fish, straightened up with difficulty, and hummed with a look on his face: "Why are you showing off your children? Let's talk about business and talk about business!"

Everyone was very considerate and stopped talking. They just quietly played with their mobile phones, read magazines, played games, listened to music, and cooked hot pot...

"Silly pig, if you keep eating, I'll cook you!"

Ji Xiaoge and Ji Xiaodao's father vomited in the toilet all night last night due to food poisoning. Ji Wutong viciously threatened the wealthy man in the corner of the conference room, who was conservatively estimated to weigh more than three hundred kilograms: "I said We’ll do it!”

Then the fat man put out the fire in frustration, walked back to the table listlessly, and after sitting down on a chair, he took out a skeletal horse from nowhere and huddled there pitifully.

"Very good, that's right, now everyone listen to me... Damn, Kang Xiaofeng, put down the game console, sister Liu Li, put away the magazine, Cui Fan, stop reading Playboy, Qianhan's headphones, hurry up Take it off. Yinan, your dear wife is right next to you. Stop playing with paper characters. Wife, please send a message to ask the two girls what they are doing right now. By the way, tell Xiaodao that daddy is fine."

Ji Wutong patted the table hard, causing a large group of people to calm down. Then he coughed twice and said seriously: "First of all, the first thing..."

Everyone turned their attention to him.

"Our two daughters are the best! No objection will be accepted!"

Yi Nan took out the knife on the spot.

"Ahem, just to liven up the atmosphere."

Ji Wutong laughed dryly, shrugged and said, "There is bad news and worse news. Which one do you want to hear first?"

"worse."

The little girl in a white dress said without hesitation.

"good."

Ji Wutong did not hesitate, spread his hands and said: "Just two days ago, the Innocence Realm finally got completely out of control. Silly Pig has completely lost control of the entire system. To put it simply, we can no longer view it from God's perspective. Observed that world.”

A tall and graceful beauty wearing a pair of bright red headphones at the table frowned: "Boss Du guessed it right after all, but although we can't observe it from God's perspective, what about using a game perspective? Can we go in?" "

"no."

The fat man sitting on the horse shook his head and said without thinking: "Don't forget that we were the ones who dealt with the 'karma' the most back then. Although the 'karma' has almost disappeared, the 'retribution' on our bodies is still little. There are many children, and the system of that world was built with 'karma' as the core from the very beginning. If we go in, we will probably be targeted to a crazy level, and we may be struck by lightning as soon as we get in... Well, Liu Sister Li, what do you want to say?"

With a pair of beautiful ice-blue eyes, the long-straight black woman named Liu Li blinked and said hesitantly: "I just think being struck by lightning shouldn't be a big deal. According to the rules of your system, with our His ability and his 'talent' in the Innocence Realm should be good, so what if he is struck by lightning?"

"no."

"no."

Kang Xiaofeng and Ji Wutong, who were sitting next to her, said in unison.

Liu Li turned to look at her husband: "Why not."

"I do not know."

The latter chuckled and said with a grin, "I just knew Boss Ji would say that."

"You are so damn clever."

Ji Wutong glanced at him with a smile, shook his head and said: "Xiao Liu's conjecture just now has some truth, but we can't do that. The reason is very simple. With the 'talent' of us people, it is very possible to directly The system was down, otherwise it would have caused it to grow rapidly and become a true 'industry' instead of the fragments it is now, so this plan would have been impossible to implement from the beginning."

"All right……"

Liu Li sighed, yawned and fell down on the table: "Hey, what's the other bad news?"

"Don't worry, the worse news isn't over yet."

Ji Wutong said something that made everyone present look grim, and then said in a very painful tone: "On the basis that the system was completely out of control, I also discovered an even weirder situation, that is, I was The cut piece, the 'karma' as the core of the system, seems to have developed self-awareness."

Yinan, who seemed to be suffering from facial paralysis, was no longer calm now, and asked in surprise: "What did you say happened!?"

"Self-awareness, man."

Ji Wutong smacked his lips, cupped his cheeks and said, "You heard it right, to put it simply, that thing is 'alive'. That thing that was originally just a rule has become intelligent, and it's not just recently. What happened was that it was so well concealed that no clues were revealed until it was completely out of my control."

"This is impossible!"

Wan Yang's father, who looked like his eldest nephew, was also shocked.

"I can't believe it as much as you do, but it's true."

Ji Wutong's face didn't look very good either, and he didn't know whether it was because of the current topic itself or the meal last night.

"Now that Ji Wutong has been confirmed, let's not waste time discussing the truth or falsehood of the matter."

A delicate woman in a white coat lightly tapped the table and said calmly: "The problem now is how to solve the problem, how to find the 'phenomenon' when the system is out of control, and the small piece of self that has sprouted. What is the attitude of the 'karma' of consciousness? Since you said it is alive, what is its attitude? From the perspective of the concept of 'karma' itself, it should be a 'dead enemy' to that phenomenon, right? Maybe after awakening its consciousness, it will actively cooperate with us?"

Ji Wutong glanced at her and smiled dryly: "If it actively cooperates with us, do you think I would still use the term 'out of control'?"

"What's its attitude?"

"The attitude is that there is no attitude. It is completely locked and closed. Simply put, it is non-violence and non-cooperation."

The fat man, who was called Silly Pig, snorted and said angrily: "Obviously I built the system for it, so it's okay if I turn into a beautiful girl and throw myself into my arms, but now you don't even bother me, really. I want to destroy the server."

"If I want to get a girl with your body type, how 'big' a ​​beautiful girl would be to do it."

The little girl who had begun to wander around the room like a ghost immediately vomited when she heard this.

Then Ji Wutong laughed unkindly for three whole minutes.

"Okay, the worse news has been finished for now. There are still some areas that can be expanded. Let's talk about it later."

After laughing, he did not forget about business. He crossed his legs lazily and said, "As for the bad news, after the situation completely got out of control, according to Boss Du's latest predictions, the children of each of our families ...Well, including Shazhu's half-disciple, they are all very clearly involved in this matter. In the near future, they may play a decisive role in that world. Obviously, our previous speculation has come true. "

For a moment, the entire conference room was silent.

"We have shouldered the 'retribution', and the next generation will inherit the 'karma' or 'karma' that has not yet been dissipated."

Ji Wutong's expression finally became completely serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Before the matter is completely resolved, try to get the children to gather in City B. Boss Du said, even if the previous plan was completely out of control, as a place of cause and effect, Here, there is still a chance to break the situation..."

"What about us?"

Yi Nan raised his head with a gloomy expression and looked at Ji Wutong steadily: "Just watching? Watching the children put themselves in danger?"

"There are some risks, but not dangerous."

The fat man on the horse shook his head and said softly: "Don't forget that our original intention of creating that thing was to prevent the world from danger."

"Face it, man..."

Ji Wutong sighed with a wry smile and shrugged to Yi Nan: "Unfortunately, the reality is just like what I said during the New Year..."

"We have been ordered to withdraw from this stage...have we not?"

Yi Nan clenched his fists hard.

"That's right, but don't forget one thing."

Ji Wutong stood up, put his hands on the table and smiled proudly...

"When we saved the world, we were not much older than these juniors. Can we give the young people more confidence?"
