Even if a fisherman enters an infinite game, he still has to cast a rod

After a day of illegal work, Jiang Yuan took the bus back to his residence.

As the sun sets in the west, the returning birds fly farther and farther away, accompanied by the orange sunset glow.

Following the creaking and bumping of the old bus, squeezing into the plastic seat with the right hardness and softness, and lying on the backrest, this was the most relaxing moment of his day.

He had been busy since last night until just now, and not long after getting in the car, his eyelids began to droop.

But he didn't want to sleep because he couldn't have a good dream.

Looking at the scenery outside the window, Jiang Yuan tried to resist sleepiness, but soon failed.

The buses started and stopped, and passengers were coming in an endless stream.

The noisy children who just got out of school, the quiet tired office workers, the chattering aunties, the middle-aged man who chatters on the phone...

Jiang Yuan sat in the corner of the second to last row, and gradually closed his eyes as the background music filled with the smell of fireworks played.

In a daze, he seemed to hear the girls' silver bell-like whispers, and then, the suitcase rolled over and someone sat next to him.

After that, he fell into a deep sleep.

Surprisingly, he did not have a nightmare this time. Instead, he fell into a quiet, peaceful, soft darkness. He could faintly smell the fragrance of cold lotus and felt so comfortable that he did not want to get up.

It was not until the driver encountered a car changing lanes randomly at a red light and slammed on the brakes, causing the whole car to vibrate, that he was thrown up.

In front of him, there was a pair of matte round-toed handmade black leather shoes, and he was confused and wondered in his heart---

Which noble man has come down to earth to understand the people's sentiments?

Jiang Yuan wiped the corner of his mouth and then he remembered that he seemed to have been sleeping on something hard just now. His mind suddenly became clear!

Ah, I think I slept on someone's shoulder?!

Not only did he fall asleep, he might even have drooled a little!

I don’t know if I got involved, I have to apologize to him right away.

"No ......"

He turned around with an apologetic look on his face, but was stunned halfway through his words.

He saw that the person sitting next to him was a handsome young man, tall, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and was a whole size bigger than Jiang Yuan.

That's why he could lean so comfortably just now.

He wore a comfortable black shirt tucked neatly into a pair of dark grey retro striped trousers, which were fastened with suspenders of the same colour. Each cuff of his cuffs was adorned with a low-key dark purple gemstone cufflink.

Sitting here, he looked like a god who had accidentally entered the mortal world, totally out of place, and attracted the heated gazes of the uncles and aunts around him.

They put their hands in their pockets, as if ready to take out photos of their daughters and introduce a romantic blind date.

Although he was wearing a black mask, his iconic pale skin, chest-length black hair, and sharp deep purple eyes all revealed his identity as a young man.

Who else could it be other than the chief executive Yu Du who was abandoned at the foot of Xuanwu Mountain by Jiang Yuan three months ago?

“…You’re welcome.”

Jiang Yuan lowered his voice in time and uttered the last three words, which together formed a weird sound: No, I'm sorry.

Yu Du was originally looking at his phone, and when he heard him talking, he turned his head:

"what happened?"

"Just...just...I just accidentally fell asleep on you...well...I think I drooled a little..." He lowered his voice, hoping that the other party would not recognize him.

I glanced at Yu Du's shoulder, fortunately, fortunately, there was no trace of moisture.

Yu Du: “It’s okay.”

His tone was as indifferent as ever, and he didn't seem to recognize Jiang Yuan.

But is this possible?

may!

Jiang Yuan was now wearing a new black wig and a plastic surgery mask that Yu Du had given him before. His new face was ordinary. In addition, he was also wearing a white mask. Even if he walked in the octagonal courtyard of the Ministry of Security, no one could recognize who he was!

But Yu Du didn't stay well in Xijing. He suddenly appeared in this remote small county, on this unpopular old bus No. 202, and in the seat next to him. What is the probability that it was a coincidence?

In short, there it is!

As long as you are willing to believe!

Of course there must be!

Jiang Yuan was deceiving himself by thinking this, and he was extremely panicked. His butt felt very uncomfortable on the chair and he wanted to get off the bus immediately!

But he was going to the last stop, which was separated by half a city and would take at least half an hour to drive there. This was really a life-threatening thing.

Just as he was considering whether to get off now or wait until the end, Yu Du put away his phone and suddenly spoke.

"What's your job?"

His tone was casual, as if he was just chatting with his seatmate.

"I...I?...Just..."

Jiang Yuan thought of the work he had been busy with that day, which he could use to create distance, so he began to describe it vividly.

"Ahem, I work in a small workshop, making handcuffs."

Yu Du was puzzled and looked at him seriously: "Can a small workshop produce handcuffs?"

"Of course, those are not regular handcuffs. What we produce are erotic handcuffs, the kind... you know." Jiang Yuan said, winking and giving Yu Du a meaningful smirk.

An old lady nearby overheard what was said, looked at Jiang Yuan with contempt, and sat further away with her vegetable basket.

Yu Du did not react to this, but asked:

"Tired?"

"It's not tiring at all. I just go over there temporarily to help with overtime, helping with grinding and polishing on the equipment. I can easily grind thousands of pieces a day."

"But, actually, I wanted to go to the last group. They were only responsible for sticking a layer of soft pink fur on the inside of the handcuffs, but that group was easy and was full of aunties."

Jiang Yuan boasted for a long time, and finally said: "Hey, how about it, my work is great, isn't it!"

"sharp."

Yu Du praised sincerely, and seeing Jiang Yuan blinking, he thought he didn't believe it, so he added:

“For the benefit of mankind.”

Jiang Yuan: “…”

You really know how to praise!

Yu Du continued: "Then do you still have to go to work tomorrow?"

Jiang Yuan waved his hand: "No, I'm just here to do a daily wage job. Now that I've received my salary, I'll go back..." He stopped talking in time and almost bit his tongue, and changed his words:

"Let's play for a few days and then we'll talk."

That was a close call. I almost said “three days of fishing”.

As they were talking, the buildings outside the window became shorter and shorter. The bus had already driven out of the main city. Passengers of all kinds got off the bus one after another, leaving many empty seats. The sound of the two people chatting became clearer and clearer.

Jiang Yuan noticed that Yu Du was leaning against the aisle, holding a large, exquisite suitcase that could accommodate one person, and asked casually, "What's the matter with you?"

"What about you, handsome guy? You don't look like a local. What are you doing here?"

Yu Du was originally looking at the black hair beside Jiang Yuan's ears. After hearing what he said, he looked into his eyes again and slowly said two words:

"Find someone."

A warm breeze blew in from the window, ruffling Jiang Yuan's hair, almost revealing a small round jade earring.

He raised his hands guiltily and covered his ears as if he was smoothing his hair.

“Ah… Really…”

But the conversation had already come to this point. Yu Du's scorching gaze was like a drill bit, drilling into him. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue:

"So...did you find it?"

"do not know."

Yu Du lowered his eyes and looked away: "He..."

The bus was passing through an abandoned park on the outskirts of the city. In front of the badly worn rubber tire, there was a discarded Coke bottle. At the moment it was pressed, the ground shook, and in front of the bus, an old crooked tree wider than the front of the bus appeared out of thin air!

The driver took extreme measures and slammed the brakes extremely hard, causing all the passengers in the car to fall forward!

"oops!!!"

"Ouch! My waist!!"

Yu Du and Jiang Yuan stretched out their hands at the same time and subconsciously protected each other's chests.

Jiang Yuan realized what a stupid thing he had done and pulled his hand back awkwardly: "Ah... Sorry... I was afraid you would fall..."

Yu Du followed suit and said, "Me too."

Outside the window, the weather changed suddenly.

The originally orange sunset glow suddenly turned into a strange dark night. On both sides of the road, there were low and strange dilapidated tiled houses. In front of every house, there was a bunch of old rotten red lanterns hanging, flickering and gloomy.

The strangest thing, of course, is the towering dead tree blocking the bus.

The crooked tree was filled with mummies hanging upside down. Each corpse had tattered clothes and their eyes had been gouged out. Their hollow facial features were all wide open, hideous and desperate, as if they were crying out about their own tragic deaths!

The bus stalled, and the driver at the front stood up in fear and shouted:

“Oh…Oh…! We encountered that strange cave!”

The remaining passengers exclaimed:

"Ah! Could it be that strange cave...?!"

"It must be that strange cave! My God, luckily I didn't wear any valuable jewelry today. I just bought some green onions."

"Oh, I didn't bring anything!"

"Here, I'll give you two of the eggs I just bought."

Yu Du was confused: "Do you know what kind of strange cave this is?"

"Well, I have heard of this strange cave. It is quite famous in Bi County..."

Jiang Yuan scratched his head and introduced it to him:

“It is said that since last month, a security-level spooky cave has occasionally appeared near the outskirts of the city. It is mainly attached to some discarded plastic bottles. If you accidentally enter it, you will appear in a monster village at night and encounter a group of small monsters. This crooked dead tree is the symbol of the game.

The little monsters were not very lethal, they would just rob food and jewelry, and after they were done the game was over, they would open the door and let people go. Before the executive officers from the county security bureau arrived, they had already converted themselves and ran away.

Using games to rob humans is very cunning. "

Jiang Yuan reached into his trouser pocket and pulled out a wrinkled transparent small plastic bag with half a steamed bun left in it and a few pickled radish shreds.

He said proudly, "I'm lucky today. I still have half a veggie burger left over from this morning. It's just the right amount for them."

Yu Du frowned: "You didn't eat lunch?"

Jiang Yuan was helpless: "This is not the point."
