Neverland

In Xu Muzhou's few impressions, Song Yan should be a staff member with the same status as Yan Cen.

Whether it was Song Yan who came to take care of Yan Cen instead of Yongwuxiang, or Yan Cen talked about Song Yan in words, it was easy to see that they had worked together for many years.

"She shouldn't have made such a mistake." Yan Cen leaned on the railing with a complex expression, and looked at Song Yan who was kneeling in the hall.

"Wait...wait a minute." Xu Muzhou asked puzzledly: "Can't the guidance system live in the timeline like ordinary people?"

"This does not include falling in love with the task object." Yan Cen said: "The task specification in the guidance system, the first thing is not to have any abnormal feelings with the task object...whether it is unilateral or bilateral."

"But it's difficult. The nature of the guidance system's work is to guide the task object." Xu Muzhou tried to convince Yan Cen: "They are bound to have intersections. It's not difficult to have a relationship for a long time..."

"This is the bottom line." Yan Cen interrupted him involuntarily: "The task targets for guiding tasks are all important people who can have an intuitive impact on the timeline. Once emotional entanglement occurs, wait until after guiding the personnel to leave the timeline. Disengagement in any of these situations is bound to cause unnecessary emotional arousal to the task object.”

Song Yan in the hall was kneeling on the ground, with heavy wrist cuffs on her wrists. Zhong Lu walked down the hall at some point, her high-heeled shoes stepping on the edge of the tiles, one sound after another.Xu Muzhou shivered for a while, feeling a chill down his back for no reason.

Zhong Lu folded her arms and stood two steps away from Song Yan expressionlessly.

"You shouldn't make this kind of mistake." Zhong Lu said.

The hall on the first floor was very empty, Zhong Lu's voice was not high, but it was enough for Xu Muzhou to hear clearly.Her words were exactly the same as what Yan Cen said, Xu Muzhou subconsciously glanced at Yan Cen, wondering whether this was the consensus of Neverland or something else.

"I know." Song Yan still lowered her head, her voice was not sluggish, but had a subtle sense of relief: "But I can't do it."

Zhong Lu sighed: "You have worked in Neverland for so many years, you should be very clear about the consequences of such reckless actions."

"I know." Song Yan said: "I understand everything, what are you going to do with me."

Like a broken jar, she laughed softly.From this angle, Xu Muzhou could just see half of her side face, Song Yan's exquisite lip line was raised high, revealing a sarcastic smile.

"Or, what is Neverland going to do with me?" Song Yan said with a smile, "Expelled from Neverland?"

"Deprive you of your work status first, and confine yourself in your own room." Zhong Lu was not provoked by her, and said calmly: "No staff will be expelled... Unless you choose to self-destruct, Neverland will shelter you forever you."

Zhong Lu waved her hand as she spoke, and the man in black who was standing behind Song Yan bent down and pulled Song Yan's arm to pull her up from the ground.

Song Yan staggered and stood up with strength, and was pushed into the stairwell without resistance.

The wind and rain outside Yongwu Township was precarious, Zhong Lu stood in the empty hall, the raindrops that came in from outside the door fell on her toes.She turned slightly sideways and glanced at Yan Cen on the balcony on the second floor.Xu Muzhou always had a guilty conscience of voyeurism, and subconsciously took a step back.Yan Cen did not evade, and met this gaze.

Zhong Lu looked at him for a while, then looked away feeling quite bored.She snapped her fingers, and the heavy wooden door closed with a bang, fine dust was shaken off and landed on the carpet at the door.

Zhong Lu turned around and walked along the way she came.

It wasn't until Zhong Lu disappeared from sight that Xu Muzhou felt the inexplicable pressure in the air disappear.He breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest with lingering fear, and said, "...What will Neverland do to Song Yan?"

"I don't know." Yan Cen said: "The last person who seriously violated the rules left Neverland without waiting for a decision to deal with it."

"Self-destruct?" Xu Muzhou was taken aback: "It's not like that."

"There is nothing wrong with it." Yan Cen glanced at him, straightened up and walked towards the stairwell: "Each system has different regulations, they work easily, but there are more rules to follow...these are the rules themselves .”

Although Xu Muzhou felt that what he said was reasonable, he still felt that Song Yan's current appearance was a bit miserable, so he couldn't help trying to argue for her: "But..."

"No but." Yan Cen said firmly: "The feeling of love is irregular and unpredictable. You can't imagine how serious the rebound obsession will be. The people they guide the system to face are different from ordinary people. Similarly, once a serious emotional obsession is caused, it will even lead to a reversal of the entire world line in the future."

Xu Muzhou choked and couldn't say anything.

Yan Cen probably felt that his tone was too sharp, so he stood still under the stairs, slightly slowed down his voice and said to Xu Muzhou: "You go back first, I'll go and see Song Yan."

"Isn't she in confinement?" Xu Muzhou asked.

"One-way." Yan Cen squeezed his shoulder: "Go back and catch up on sleep. If you want to decompress, you can drink a little wine. You know where the ice bucket and wine are."

Xu Muzhou understood that Yan Cen wanted to dismiss him, so he nodded without saying anything, and went upstairs by himself.

Yan Cen watched Xu Muzhou turn around the stairs before walking up.

Song Yan lived on the second floor near the sea, in Room 219 near the end of the corridor.There was no one guarding the door of that room, but a transparent blue light was blocked about one meter above the ground.

Yan Cen stepped forward, as if he hadn't seen the light at all, he stretched out his hand and opened the door.

Song Yan in the living room turned her head when she heard the sound, as if she was not surprised that he would come.

Song Yan's hair was wet, she reached out and stroked it back indifferently, took off her soaked coat, and threw it on the cold floor.

The wrist cuffs on her hands disappeared, replaced by two fluorescent blue transparent bracelets, without any chains in between, and she could still move freely.

Yan Cen stepped over the coat on the ground, sat on the sofa, took the cigarette from Song Yan, and asked, "What kind of person is it?"

Song Yan looked at him unexpectedly: "I thought you would accuse me of not acting on my will."

"Can this thing make sense in a few words?" Yan Cen raised his eyebrows: "If it makes sense, are you really tempted?"

"You're right." Song Yan smiled: "It's just that it doesn't look like you can say it."

"What should I say?" Yan Cen said.

"Act recklessly and suffer at your own risk." Song Yan imitated Yan Cen's tone and said, "You must be responsible for your own choice."

Song Yan burst out laughing as she spoke: "Why, your mind has turned around now?"

Yan Cen didn't speak.

He didn't know why, but he suddenly thought of Xu Muzhou for no reason.He didn't even think about anything, but an inexplicable name popped up in his mind inexplicably, which made people confused.

"Why?" Song Yan smiled slightly: "Have you really changed your gender?"

"Nonsense." Yan Cen sneered: "Don't worry about talking about him, either you say it, or I will change gears."

"It's nothing special." Song Yan said, "Compared to the mission targets I've brought before, she's not the strongest, nor is she the most assertive...not even the one with the best potential."

"At the time I teleported, she was only 16 years old." The smile on Song Yan's face gradually faded, she lowered her eyes, and flicked the cigarette ash: "At that time, she had nothing to do with 'influencing the world'. We We've been together for two years—"

"The important point." Yan Cen interrupted her mercilessly: "I'm in a hurry to go back and catch up on sleep."

Song Yan paused, then shook her head helplessly, she was used to Yan Cen's virtue.

"I don't know how to describe her. If I have to say it, it's like a strawberry cake. It's delicious and soft." Song Yan sighed: "She's very nice, very well-behaved, and very—"

Yan Cen only felt that the more he listened to it, the less he liked it: "You are the task target..."

"She's a very cute little girl." Song Yan said calmly, "You can't even imagine that she has such a strong fate line just by looking at her."

"Song Yan." Yan Cen pulled the ashtray and said calmly: "Are you good at this, the previous tasks didn't give you a chance."

Yan Cen's words were very unpleasant, Song Yan blinked, but she was not angry.She understood that Yan Cen was angry in his heart. After working together under the same roof for so many years, Yan Cen hated iron for being weak.

"Don't you understand...? A fresh life, full of heart and eyes is you." Song Yan smiled: "How can you refuse?"

Yan Cen smoked silently.

"You and I both know that we can't refuse." Song Yan said.

Yan Cen's hand flicking the ashtray was hanging on the ashtray, trembling slightly.He subconsciously wanted to refute, but after licking his teeth with the tip of his tongue, he suddenly realized that his mind was blank and he had nothing to say.

"Just for this...?" Yan Cen said.

"Isn't that enough?" Song Yan said, "Then what do you say is enough?"

"But you were forcibly recalled by Neverland." Yan Cen didn't want to entangle her with this matter, he knocked a stick of cigarette ash into the ashtray, and changed the subject: "What about the mission line?"

"To be honest, I don't want to know how the mission line is anymore." Song Yan extinguished the cigarette in the ashtray, and she brushed her hair with her slender fingers inserted in the strands. A little lonely.

"Because it is a compulsory recall, I don't know how Neverland handles the task status... probably died of illness." Song Yan said: "Yan Cen, do you know that just before I was recalled, she just gave me Broadcasted the newsletter."

"Ok?"

"I didn't receive it." Song Yan lowered her eyes: "...She is timid and likes to think too much. She will definitely look for me everywhere. If she can't find me, she will panic."

"This is what the next leader should care about." Yan Cen patted the soot that fell on his legs, stood up and walked out, and said coldly: "As for you, it's better to think about what to do next. "

"Yan Cen." Song Yan called to stop him.

Yan Cen stopped in his tracks and didn't look back.

"You don't understand." Song Yan said: "...But you will understand sooner or later."

"Everyone in Neverland will understand sooner or later."

Song Yan said quietly, her voice was soft and slow, like a witch whispering in a divination room.
