"What a great idea to lighten the burden on the organization."

Upon hearing this, you couldn't help but look at the young man in front of you with a strange expression.

Young people can really talk!

If anyone else said those words, they would probably spend the rest of their lives in prison.

It seems... the Master really admires this little fellow.

"By the way, Dr. Li, did you say that starting tomorrow, I will have to go to the activity room in the mental hospital?"

Lu Xuan asked curiously.

He was still hoping to enter the prison's activity area to find those prisoners as wild monsters and farm the forbidden ruins.

Having finally entered this dungeon with such high drop rates and experience points, how can we give up so easily?

Or... if all else fails, find something to do and then transfer from the mental hospital to prison.

Seeing Lu Xuan's expression, Dr. Li seemed to have guessed what he was thinking.

My lips twitched involuntarily.

He had absolutely no doubt.

If I refuse this guy's request, I might really have to give up a lot of things and end up being forcibly sent to prison.

"Of course not. If you'd like to continue sharing the activity room with the prisoners, that's fine too."

However, those guys aren't so easy to get along with.

Dr. Li reminded him.

He has no idea what Lu Xuan's status is over there.

After all, he was just the director of the mental hospital; he couldn't possibly see everything that happened inside the prison.

There will naturally be a certain time lag in information delivery.

"Oh, never mind, I still prefer being with everyone. It's more lively with more people."

Lu Xuan smiled.

Dr. Li's lips twitched again.

It's great that there are so many talented people and such a lively atmosphere.

I'm afraid that those guys won't have much of a show for long before it all fizzles out.

"as long as you are happy."

That was all Dr. Li could say.

After all, this guy is a big shot among the top experts, even among Commander Ye.

To some extent, I was also doing this to cooperate with the plan above.

Naturally, they wouldn't restrict Lu Xuan's freedom of movement too much.

Just follow the rules that are explicitly stated.

After finally seeing Lu Xuan off, Dr. Li let out a long sigh of relief.

I couldn't help but rub my aching temples.

I've lost count of how long it's been since I encountered such a troublesome guy.

but.

At least.

This kid is humanity's hope.

……

A fence surrounds the wooden house.

The winding path has been paved with cement, and some orange trees and a chestnut tree have been planted along the side of the path.

Next door was a stone wall, and behind the wall were the orchards of other neighbors.

Next to the fence gate is an orange tree. When Lu Xuan was young, there was originally a peach tree here, but it had grown old and died, so his grandfather planted an orange tree instead.

Next to the wooden house was a melon shed, on which some grapes were growing.

The grapes are now hanging in bunches of green, but there is no harvest every autumn.

If these high-altitude grapes are not sprayed with pesticides, they will all fall off before they ripen.

This has been the case for at least the last ten or twenty years.

On the slope in front of the house is a plum tree, and in front of the house is a threshing ground with a log at the edge and a bamboo frame on it.

The bamboo trellis was covered with various fruits and vegetables, such as cucumbers and loofahs.

Lu Xuan walked quietly along the path in the water, eventually arriving at the old house.

There was already a figure waiting for the guests in the open space.

It's Wu Laogou.

Lu Xuan didn't speak, but simply sat quietly on the low stool under the eaves of his house.

He stared blankly at the distant sky.

In the distance, the sky is dark and heavy, and you can see the mountains layered like an ink painting.

There's a feeling that a storm is brewing.

Standing in the sun-drying field, Wu Laogou, dressed in a hospital gown, seemed somewhat out of place.

He stared blankly at the distant mountains, then looked at the house.

On the right-hand side of the front of the house is a small, reclaimed hillside with many vegetable plots and several delicious bayberry trees.

This is clearly a rural courtyard in the countryside.

"So this is the world deepest in your dreams. Is this your old home? I've been to your new home before."

Old Wu's voice was a little hoarse.

"Yes, the new home, the new home in the city... that's just a house... oh, it is indeed a home after my daughter was born, but this is the home I miss the most..."

I haven't been back for a very, very long time, you know. Actually, I didn't want to come into this world, especially not to be some kind of savior or what you call a genius.

I'd rather go back to my original world and be an ordinary, unremarkable person.

Even if I just stay in my hometown with my parents and grandma, grow some vegetables, raise some chickens... I would be very content..."

Lu Xuan sat on a low bench outside the wooden wall of the main house and sighed softly.

This is the place that holds the deepest memory for me.

It's the place where I grew up.

When he was young, he often didn't understand why so many people liked to return to their roots.

Why would someone choose to return to their hometown when they could have a better life in the city?

He didn't even understand why his father said he wanted to go back to his hometown to grow some vegetables and raise some chickens and ducks after he retired.

Now he understands.

Unfortunately... he can't go back now.

In this other world.

It's like a traveler who suddenly enters this world, wanting to integrate but feeling so out of place.

He didn't have much ambition; he just wanted to survive.

But suddenly, as I lived, I discovered that there was a force pushing me forward.

I felt like I was caught in a huge whirlpool, and if I stopped, I would be doomed.

Only by continuing to move forward can we hope to reach the end of the road.

Only then will there be hope of seeing a way to leave this world.

Lu Xuan... longs to return to his original world.

This was his only secret, and he had never told anyone about it.

Whether it's Yun Ying, one's own heroic spirit, Captain Chen Muye, or anyone else.

now.

Wu Laogou used his abilities to see into the deepest part of Lu Xuan's heart.

Wu Laogou stared blankly at his surroundings, then looked at Lu Xuan and slowly spoke.

"I've been to the deepest parts of many people's hearts. Their worlds are filled with stories of losing loved ones or breaking up with their dearest ones..."

That was the most memorable world of their lives, but your world... is more like that of an ordinary person, the most ordinary daily life of a family...

If I hadn't come in here myself, I really couldn't have imagined that someone like you could have such a soft spot deep down.

Old Wu sighed softly.

At this moment, he seemed to have stopped being crazy and had become somewhat normal.

Even in Lu Xuan's hometown, he somewhat enjoyed this ordinary life.

"You're really rude. I didn't invite you in. If only I could return to my original world soon..."

Lu Xuan murmured to himself, feeling a little homesick.
