Chapter 219 Illusion
Since when did Gu Chen forget?
Maybe it started when I first understood what the world looks like after crossing, maybe it started when I really started to enjoy life in this world.

In short, before he knew it, Gu Chen had forgotten what he looked like before time travel, and what he was doing before time travel.

He also forgot that before time travel, he was actually just a naive, cowardly, ordinary person who dared not even resist his boss.

At that time, he wouldn't just say the word murder. At that time, he wouldn't use other people's feelings to achieve his own goals.

At that time, he liked such illusory things as light and justice, he liked to see the scenes of justice overpowering evil in fantasy works, and he liked those characters who talked about principles and loyalty, even if they were not on the side of justice.

He would cry over a touching scene in a fantasy, and be outraged over a blood-pressure-raising plot in a fantasy.

He is just such an ordinary person who can be seen everywhere on the street, has no shining points, and disappears when he blends into the crowd.

Just like the young man in front of him.

"So, is this your purpose, Emperor Qi'an?"

Gu Chen stood beside the young man, looking at the finally familiar face, muttering to himself.

As if he was talking to Emperor Chianti, he said with a mocking smile on his face:

"Do you want to use this method to make my heart weak?"

Gu Chen was laughing, laughing at Emperor Qi'an's innocence.

But at the same time, he seemed to be laughing at himself.

The young man in front of him didn't hear Gu Chen's words, and of course he couldn't hear Gu Chen's words either, it was just a phantom that looked real.

He is still sitting in the office and working. Sometimes he will work very seriously, but after working for a while, he will secretly take out his mobile phone and watch short videos for a while to be lazy, and then continue to devote himself to work.

In this way, it was not until after eight o'clock in the evening that the young man finally completed his task, stretched his waist and clocked in after get off work.

The nasty manager didn't bother the young man again. The young man got off work smoothly, and then came to a small stall near the company, ready to deal with his own dinner casually.

Just after taking a few bites, the young man's cell phone rang.

The young man took out his mobile phone, glanced at it, swiped his hand casually, and pressed the answer button.

"Hello? Mom, what's the matter?"

While eating noodles, the young man talked to the person on the phone.

Sitting opposite him, Gu Chen suddenly raised his head when he heard the young man's address, and then he heard the familiar voice on the phone:

"What's the matter? Mom can't call you when she's all right?"

That familiar voice and tone made Gu Chen startled for a long time.

He didn't say anything, but tears had already rolled down his cheeks unknowingly.

Tears seemed to be a flood that broke a bank. They gushed out of Gu Chen's eyes uncontrollably, gathered along his cheeks at his chin, and then fell from his face like raindrops.

It was Gu Chen's mother's voice.

He had already forgotten how long he hadn't heard this voice.

The young man in front of him looked helpless and impatient, and said:
"No, no, I didn't think so. I'm not eating."

"Eat food from outside again? How many times have I said that if the family has the conditions, I can cook something by myself..."

"Just got off work, too lazy to do it."

The young man said casually.

He really wanted to go home to make it before, otherwise it would be impossible to prevent Brother Li from ordering takeaway for him.

It's just that he got off work too late, and the young man really didn't have the mood to make something for himself, so he casually took a bite at the roadside stall.

The woman on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, and then said:
"Xiaochen, if it really doesn't work, you quit your job in a few days, can we go home and find a job here?"

"What kind of work can there be in that crappy place at home?"

"Then you can find a good job outside? It's been a year since you graduated, aren't you still wandering around during the internship period?"

"It's coming soon, if you work hard for a while, you will be able to become a regular."

The young man said casually, but the young man knew in his heart that no matter how hard he tried, there would be no results.

But how can you say bad things when you chat with your family members.

In order not to worry the family members, they can only report good news but not bad news when chatting.

"That's what you said at your last job!"

On the phone, my mother's tone was a little heavier, even Gu Chen who heard the voice could guess that she was probably rolling her eyes.

The young man choked for a moment, and finally muttered two inaudible words, then closed his mouth and stopped talking.

The mother on the other side of the phone was about to speak when she suddenly heard a man's voice on the other side:
"Why do you always tell your children these things, come on, give me the phone!"

"No, if you want to chat with Xiaochen, you can call yourself. I haven't finished talking yet."

"What are you talking about, you're so rambling that you don't even talk about business, give me..."

There was a brief quarrel on the other end of the phone, and then the phone was picked up, and a slightly old male voice came:
"Hey, Xiaochen, me, your father, are you doing okay recently?"

Listening to the noise on the phone, the young man couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly. He heard the sound of "bang bang" on the other end of the phone, and unconsciously thought of the scene of his mother hammering his father's back in his mind, and he almost didn't laugh out loud. .

But soon the young man became serious, suppressed a smile and said:
"You're doing well, dad, you're so courageous, you dare to snatch my mother's phone, aren't you afraid to sleep on the sofa tonight?"

"Me? I'm afraid of her? Hmph!"

Dad snorted coldly, but there was a little guilt in his words, and then quickly changed the subject:
"Come on, let's not talk about your mother, let's talk about your sister. It's like this. Didn't your sister talk about a friend last year? This year, our two families met and felt that we are pretty good. We are going to get married at the end of the year. You see Look...will you be back by then?"

"Huh? So fast?!"

The young man was a little stunned.

His family is a relatively rare twin family. He has a sister who is three years older than him. Usually, this sister treats him very well. When he was in college, his sister also helped him a lot.

It's just that after graduating from university, the young man went out to work and lost contact with his sister. He didn't expect to hear the news again this time, and he heard that his sister was getting married.

"Yeah, your sister is not too young. After her birthday this year, she will be 27. It's time to get married."

Dad said with a sigh.

The young man was silent for a few seconds, then said:
"That's fine. I'll go back when my sister gets married."

"All right, all right, when are you coming back? Call us in advance, and your mother and I will cook something delicious for you."

"Well, okay, that's it, I haven't finished my meal yet, so I'll hang up first."

"it is good."

The young man hung up the phone in a hurry, looked at the cold dinner in front of him and sighed, then swallowed the dinner and paid the bill.

Gu Chen, who was sitting opposite the young man, was already sobbing when the young man was halfway through the phone call.

He forgot.

He forgot all about it.

I forgot that before I crossed over, there was a mother who liked to nag but cared about me, and I forgot that there was a father who always liked to show off, and then was picked up by my mother when he turned his head.

He also forgot that he still has a sister who treats him as his own.

But now Gu Chen has recalled everything, he thought of the real reason for his despair in this world, and also thought of why he became what he is now.

Because in this world, Gu Chen no longer has the extremely precious family affection that he usually finds annoying, and no one will love him like his parents and sisters.

There is no one in this world you can rely on, and no one you can trust.

Therefore, Gu Chen closed his heart, valued his life more than anything else, and put interests at the forefront of everything.

Because in this world, only you can care about yourself.

"Emperor Qi'an!!!"

No longer looking at the young man in front of him, Gu Chen tightly held the Heavenly Sword in his hand, releasing the power of the Heavenly Sword without caring about the consumption.

He wantonly destroyed everything around him, even if the surrounding scene hadn't changed in any way, he still wanted to vent his suffocated feeling that he was about to go crazy.

It's just that Emperor Qi'an didn't speak at the end, he seemed to have disappeared, Gu Chen seemed to be the only one left in the whole illusion.

Gu Chen's hands were bulging with veins, and his eyes were full of killing intent for Emperor Qi'an.

He has never hated a person like this before, but even if he does, he can only be trapped in this illusion.

Unless, he can find a way out of here.

"Method……"

Gu Chen turned around and looked at his other self again. His intuition told him that the key to breaking the game should lie in this other self.

This may also be the reason why I would follow the young man for no reason at first.

Just how to do it?
What should Gu Chen do to leave this illusion through the youth?

Gu Chen didn't know, so he could only continue to follow the young man.

He followed the young man back to the narrow rental house that cost a few hundred dollars a month. He watched the young man wash and rest, and it was not until one o'clock in the middle of the night that he turned off the lights and went to sleep. Gu Chen thought of a way.

He looked at the young man, then stood on the bed.

The young man's feet passed through Gu Chen's, and the two feet overlapped, and then Gu Chen opened his arms and fell backwards.

boom--

There was a sound as if something had fallen on the bed, and when Gu Chen opened his eyes again, the phone's rapid alarm rang in his ears.

bell bell -

Gu Chen didn't bother with the alarm and let it ring like this.

He stared blankly at the ceiling of the rental house, as if he had lost his soul.

It wasn't until the alarm clock stopped and rang again that Gu Chen came to his senses, took out his cell phone and turned it off, got off the bed and walked to the sink in the bathroom.

"hahahahahahahaha!!!"

Looking at the ordinary face in the mirror with a little stubble, Gu Chen laughed. He smiled happily and also crazily, like a lunatic who just escaped from a mental hospital.

It didn't stop until the tenant next door knocked on the wall.

"Wake up early in the morning and laugh like a ghost! Why don't you let people sleep!"

The tenant next door was awakened by the laughter and cursed, but Gu Chen ignored him.

After laughing, Gu Chen restrained his smile, raised the corners of his mouth, picked up the razor beside him to shave off the stubble on his face, then picked up his mobile phone and briefcase, left the room without any hesitation, and went straight to company.

Turning on the phone, Gu Chen glanced at the time on it, and took out the bank card app, and glanced at the balance on it.

There is still more than 1000 yuan left, and there is still half a month before the next salary.

But Gu Chen wasn't worried at all, he even extravagantly took a taxi to the company.

In ten minutes, Gu Chen came to the company building.

As soon as he entered the door, he went straight to the elevator.

He was going to the manager's office to find the Mediterranean manager who arranged work for him yesterday, and asked for the one month's wages that were withheld, as well as the wages that had been deducted for various reasons in the past few months.

"Oh, Gu Chen, I came here very early today."

At the workstation, Brother Li who saw Gu Chen coming over greeted Gu Chen.

Gu Chen smiled and nodded to him.

When Gu Chen was working here, only Brother Li took care of him, so Gu Chen didn't mind showing some kindness to him.

It's just that Gu Chen didn't greet him.

He skipped Brother Li's position and continued to walk towards the manager's office. Brother Li was a little surprised and even more surprised when he saw Gu Chen's actions, but before Brother Li called Gu Chen to stop, he and everyone in the office stared. The big-eyed thing happened.

boom! !

When Gu Chen came to the manager's office, he kicked the door away without hesitation.

In the office, the Mediterranean manager, who was calling his boss and bowing his head, was startled by the sudden scene, and subconsciously hung up the phone.

When he turned around and saw that it was Gu Chen, he couldn't help but cursed:
"Gu Chen! What are you doing!! Why are you so crazy to come to my office in the morning! Do you still want to do it!!"

"Dry?"

Gu Chen grinned, came to the manager, raised his leg and kicked him in the stomach!

"I do NM!"

boom! !

Manager Sun was kicked by Gu Chen to the side of the window, bent over and clutching his stomach, fell to the ground like a red-hot prawn.

But Gu Chen didn't intend to bypass Manager Sun, he walked up to Manager Sun, grabbed Manager Sun by his collar and pulled him up from the ground, with a cheerful smile on his face, he said:
"Aren't you very good? Huh? Arrange work for me at night, don't let me rest on holidays, treat me like a cow and horse, huh? Now you continue to arrange work for me!"

boom!
As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, he pressed Manager Sun's head and smashed it to the ground. Then, without waiting for Manager Sun to speak, he said again:

"Now, I don't care what you're doing, I'll ask the financial side to settle my salary immediately, not a penny less! Do you hear me?"

"You... you crazy...!?"

Manager Sun was dizzy from Gu Chen's series of combos. He was in pain all over, looked at Gu Chen who was half squatting in front of him, and questioned him with difficulty.

Gu Chen didn't answer, he slapped Manager Sun's face with a slap, and said:

"Did I ask you to ask a question? Tell me now, did you hear me!"

"Listen...heard!"

Seeing Gu Chen's cannibalistic expression, Manager Sun nodded repeatedly.

After Gu Chen let him go, he ran out of the manager's office regardless of the pain in his body.

And Gu Chen stood up from the ground, turned his head to look at the strange eyes cast on him in surprise or fear, and grinned.

Then, with his hands in his pockets, he followed Manager Sun who was running away, and walked towards the financial room.

Although Gu Chen didn't know what was going on in this illusion, but since he was able to interfere with this illusion now, of course Gu Chen came here because of his comfort.

As for how to leave this illusion.

That's something to think about later.
