I will be a boss in the future world

In the bustling city, neon lights light up the entire city like a gorgeous rainbow, but in the corners that these dazzling lights cannot reach, there is a hidden darkness.

The buildings on both sides of the street are towering, and their walls are covered with criss-crossing pipes and cables, like a steel forest. Under the shadow of these buildings, a narrow alley winds and twists, like a secret passage leading to the unknown.

The virtual world is so big, how could I run into him like this?

It is true that enemies often meet in a narrow road and ghosts will linger. She was unlucky to meet this guy last time. I hope he will not bother her again.

Just as I was thinking this, before I had taken a few steps, I heard a whistle behind me.

"Baby, why are you running so fast?"

"Don't you even say hello when you see me?"

"..."

After the two of them fought several times, Yu Ying had come to understand a little bit about this guy's character. The more he wanted to avoid him, the more excited he became, and he would rush up to tangle with him.

Yuying could only grit her teeth, suppress the anger and dissatisfaction in her heart, and turned around with difficulty.

Her eyes met the man in front of her, and she saw that the familiar and annoying face was now smiling with a sly and complacent smile, staring at her with a smile.

"What a coincidence, you're here to play too?"

Ji Jingxian raised his eyebrows slightly, with undisguised teasing in his tone.

Yuying replied with a straight face and expressionless face: "I'm working, please pretend you don't know me, thank you."

"Huh? What job?"

Hearing this, his curiosity seemed to be aroused. Ji Jingxian narrowed his eyes, looked up and down at Yuying, then turned his gaze to Wu Han who was standing beside him, and suddenly a strange and evil smile appeared on his face.

"Oh, to play with a rich man?"

"So you do this part-time..."

He smiled ambiguously, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I have money too."

"……I!?"

Yu Ying clenched her fists, resisting the urge to beat him up, but Wu Han beside her blinked in confusion.

"So you guys know each other?"

"Is this... Miss Wen's friend?"

Yuying glared at someone and said angrily, "He's not a friend, he's a mortal enemy!"

"..."

Ji Jingxian's eyes became a little evasive, and he touched his nose guiltily: "Hahaha, it's been so long, you still hold a grudge?"

But you can’t mention the fairy tale world, otherwise... there will really be no future!

His tone suddenly became fawning, like a puppy wagging its tail, and his originally playful expression instantly turned into a pitiful one.

"After all, we met each other through fighting, and our bond was sealed through life and death."

"Since you have so many 'boyfriends', why not count me as one and take me out to play."

As he spoke, he winked and smiled at Yuying, as if he thought his suggestion was very good.

However, in stark contrast to his relaxed attitude, Yuying's reaction was extremely intense.

She clenched her fists tightly, and there was a crackling sound between her fingers. The sound was particularly clear and harsh in the silent air after Ji Jingxian finished speaking, as if in the next second, she would not be able to suppress her inner anger and would rush forward to punch the other party.

Wu Han looked at Yu Ying with horror, and immediately realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere. He quickly explained, "I'm afraid this gentleman has misunderstood..."

"I'm not her boyfriend, and she's not here to play with me."

"We're here to find someone who's really here to work."

Ji Jingxian immediately changed the subject: "Who are you looking for? A man or a woman?"

He smiled flatteringly: "I'm bored anyway, why don't I help you guys look for it?"

"..."

Yuying took a deep breath, slowly regained her composure, and said indifferently: "Go away, it's not necessary."

Ji Jingxian immediately put on the look of a bullied young wife again, and looked at Yuying with hurt eyes: "Don't be like this, I've already been to your house."

He said softly, putting three fingers together as if swearing, "And I told you, I'm very interested in you, really."

Seeing that this guy spoke so ambiguously and caused misunderstanding, Yuying became even more angry.

But in front of outsiders, and thinking about her work, Yuying had to keep calm and reveal her identity.

"Look carefully, I'm a TOX police officer."

"If you harass me again, I'll arrest you for obstructing official business!"

"Okay! Arrest me then, now."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hands in a shameless manner, his smile growing wider instead of diminishing.

"I'll go wherever you go. Do I need to bring handcuffs?"

"..."

Yuying collapsed and held her forehead: "Can you please stop making trouble!?"

"I don't have time to chat with you here!"

"Miss Wen..."

Wu Han sighed helplessly, and glanced at Ji Jingxian with an uncertain look, "Your friend seems quite stubborn, so why not let him follow us?"

"Miss Zhou has been missing for a long time and time is running out. I am really worried."

"..."

"Miss Zhou?"

"You're not looking for that... money-spending boy who always loses every time he gambles, Zhou Manyin?"

Hearing this, Yuying couldn't help but ask: "Do you know her?"

"Of course I know. Anyone who hangs out in casinos knows that!"

"She is of noble status, her family seems to be very rich, and she particularly likes gambling."

Ji Jingxian shook his head with a look of regret and sighed, "It's a pity that she has extremely bad luck. She loses nine times out of ten when she gambles, and the only time she wins, she ends up in bad luck."

“So everyone is happy to play with her because when she’s around, they’ll most likely win money.”

"Otherwise, why would she be called 'The Money-Spreading Boy'?"

"..."

Wu Han asked anxiously, "Have you seen her in the past few days?"

"You seem to be very familiar with this place... Can you help me find out if anyone saw her three days ago?"

"Three days ago?"

Ji Jingxian's expression suddenly became serious, "She disappeared here three days ago?"

Yuying nodded, "Yes, we are looking for her."

"The system couldn't find any signals of her consciousness. The last place she appeared was here."

"..."

Yuying frowned and looked at him, "Do you know something? Tell me."

Ji Jingxian then said seriously: "I just heard that a casino here suddenly closed a few days ago."

"Because it is a rare classical architectural style, it is quite special. I used to go there often."

“But now the whole area has been blocked off, but no news has been released to the public.”

"It looks like there was a system glitch."

System failure? Is it a collapsed area?

"Is what you said true?"

Wu Han's expression became increasingly anxious, and even his voice began to tremble. He murmured helplessly, "The system is down... and it's still blocked... Will Miss Zhou be there? Is she okay? She..."

Seeing that he was getting more and more excited, Yuying stepped forward and gently patted his shoulder, saying soothingly: "Don't worry, let's go take a look around first."

After saying that, she looked at Ji Jingxian helplessly.

"Where is it? Take us to see it."

Ji Jingxian blinked, "Is there any benefit?"

"..."

"Does this count as me actively assisting you in your work? Should I be praised or rewarded?"

Wu Han's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "If I really find Miss Zhou, I'd be willing to give you a large sum of money to thank you!"

Ji Jingxian just gave Wu Han a cold look and said indifferently, "Sorry, I didn't ask you."

"I just won a big prize and I'm not short of money. Who needs you to thank me with a large sum of money?"

"..."

Wu Han closed his mouth silently, looking embarrassed.

"Hey, I'm asking you..."

Ji Jingxian poked Yuying's arm cautiously and looked at her expectantly.

"How are you going to thank me for helping you so much? Hmm?"

"..."

"Forget it, I'll ask someone else."

After saying that, Yuying turned around and left, but a shameless laugh followed behind her.

"Hey hey hey! Don't go!"

"I'm telling you! Why don't I take you there?"

"..."

"But why did you suddenly go to TOX?"

"The little girl is always so mean and has such a bad temper. How can she get married in the future?"

"..."

"Fortunately, I am a weird person. I like people with personality and bad temper."

"You saved my life, so I'll repay you with my body..."

"Why don't you just take me in?"

"Neuropathy……"

There was an endless stream of nagging voices behind him, which sounded like the buzzing of bees, making people feel extremely irritated. Yuying rolled her eyes helplessly, with obvious impatience on her face.

The forward steps also paused slightly because of this annoying sound, but only for a moment.

Then, Yuying reacted quickly. She flexibly turned sideways and clenched her palms, then swung them backwards violently. Her movements were as natural and smooth as flowing water.

At the same time, accompanied by an exasperated sentence:

"roll!"

It happened in a flash. At this extremely "thrilling" moment, Ji Jingxian flashed and avoided Yu Ying's palm with amazing speed. His movement was so fast, as if he had expected it.

He still had that signature casual smile on his face, and he followed Yuying slowly.

"Don't be so quick to refuse, okay?"

"No matter what, I'm not better than your AI male pet?"

She kept on talking: "Besides, my brother is very rich! He can't spend all his money in his lifetime!"

"I won't have to worry about food and clothing in the future, so why would I have to work so hard?"

"You really don't want to think about it?"

Unable to bear it any longer, Yu Ying's chest heaved violently. She stopped abruptly, and like an enraged tiger, she turned around and grabbed Ji Jingxian's collar with lightning speed!

With eyes that seemed to spit fire, Yuying grasped the other person's collar tightly, his fingers trembling slightly due to the force. On the other hand, the person whose collar was grabbed was completely stunned, with an expression of astonishment and confusion on his face.

"I warn you……"

"Whatever your purpose is in approaching me, don't make such jokes again."

"You and I are not the same kind of people. It's impossible for us to be friends."

"While you can still speak properly, save some face for yourself."

"Don't force me to really beat you up!"

After hearing Yu Ying's cold words, Ji Jingxian finally came back to his senses from his trance, but he was not angry or afraid at all. Instead, the smile on his face became even more intense, as if those harsh words Yu Ying had just said were completely irrelevant to him. It even made people feel that Ji Jingxian seemed to have heard something very interesting.

"Don't be so easy to say, Xiao Yuying."

"I used to think that life was boring and that I would die in the arena one day."

"But fate is so weird..."

"When I thought it was impossible to survive, I survived."

"When I thought I couldn't lose, I lost the game."

"And the winner ran away, and the loser won."

"Things that were clearly impossible to happen, happened."

“The person who was impossible to find was found.”

"It turns out that what I thought was just what I thought."

"So don't say the word 'impossible' lightly."

"Otherwise, when you get slapped in the face, I will laugh at you."

"..."

Time was running out and Yuying really didn't want to get entangled with him, so she had to let go.

"I've said everything I need to say. I don't want to waste any more time talking to you."

"Where is that place? Take us there quickly!"

"Oh, come with me."

He waved his hand and said with a smile: "But I want the benefits, if you don't give it to me, you can take it yourself."

"If you have the guts, come and beat me up. I won't necessarily lose to you this time."

"..."

"Miss Wen, are you okay?"

Wu Han carefully glanced at Yuying's expression and someone's back, and said to Yuying carefully, "He doesn't look like he has any ill will towards you, but his words and actions are a bit frivolous."

Yuying had a complicated expression and shook her head slowly, "I'm fine."

"It's more important to find someone. Let's go."

"Ah."

He sighed quietly in his heart, then quickly took Wu Han and followed in the direction of Ji Jingxian.

The broken bricks and graffiti on the alleyway reveal that this was once a vibrant place, but over time it has become forgotten.

In such a dark corner, the shadow of the street lamp was very long, projected on the cold ground. The air was filled with the smell of dampness and decay, and occasionally the sound of mice rustling in the dark could be heard. Every detail here revealed a sense of desolation and sadness, as if it was a corner forgotten by the world.

Not long after the three people left, a person slowly walked out from a dark corner of the street.

The man's hair color was flamboyant and his clothes were cool, which contrasted with the neon lights of the city, reflecting a psychedelic and brilliant light. He stood quietly, staring at the three figures walking away, his eyes revealing an indescribable complex emotion.

As the three people gradually walked away, the man's fists clenched quietly and unconsciously, his brows slightly frowned, and he kept staring at them until their figures finally disappeared at the corner of the street in the distance and completely faded out of his sight.

At this moment, the world around him seemed to become quiet, leaving only the man's restless heart.

He closed his eyes, slowly withdrew his gaze, turned around and disappeared into the darkness again.
