Chapter 85: Can I Apply For This Job?

Ji Yang thought about Xiu Wu’s words and asked, "Lao Xiu, when did that voice appear in your mind?"

Xiu Wu looked at Ji Yang and said, "Since the second time we saw Xiao Lin in the mission hall. At first, he only appeared for a few seconds and then disappeared. But now, every time I see Xiao Lin, he will come out."

When he gave the answer, Ji Yang and Tan Wei suddenly looked at him in surprise. Seeing their reactions, Xiu Wu’s heart sank. He looked at them and asked, "What? Do you guys know something?"

Ji Yang and Tan Wei exchanged glances for a second, then Ji Yang said, "Lao Xiu, actually... We noticed that you changed a lot after meeting Xiao Lin. It’s like you are another person."

Tan Wei looked at Xiu Wu worriedly and said, "Yeah. We thought it was just our imagination, but it seems that sometimes you really are not yourself. It’s like you become a different person."

As soon as he said this, the living room fell into silence. Tan Wei and Ji Yang looked at Xiu Wu worriedly, while Xiu Wu’s brows were furrowed so deeply that it could kill a fly to death. After a long silence, Ji Yang asked, "Can’t you get rid of that mysterious voice?"

Xiu Wu shook his head and said, "I have tried many times, but it is still in my mind. Every time I see Xiao Lin, he will come out and talk nonsense. If I think about staying away from Xiao Lin, I will have a very bad headache. If I want to leave as soon as I see her, my body will move on its own and get close to her instead."

Ji Yang heard what he said and asked, "So all of this only happens when you are by Xiao Lin’s side?"

Xiu Wu was stunned for a second when he heard Ji Yang’s question. Ji Yang noticed his reaction, and asked again, "When she is not around, do you also do things that are out of your control?"

Xiu Wu hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and confessed, "Every time I fall asleep, I also have spring dreams about her..."

Seeing Xiu Wu’s face turn red while he was trying to keep a calm expression, Ji Yang and Tan Wei were both speechless.

Ji Yang, "...." Are you a kindergarten student? Why do you blush so hard just because we are talking about spring dreams?

Tan Wei, "...." Lao Xiu, I didn’t expect you to hide so deeply. You actually have a vast yellow mud field inside your head. I am shocked...

After a long and awkward silence, Ji Yang coughed to break the silence. He looked at Xiu Wu and asked, "Aside from controlling your actions, does that mysterious voice do anything else?"

Xiu Wu’s face darkened and said, "He is very noisy and talks a lot."

Ji Yang raised his eyebrows and asked curiously: "What did it say that made you look angry like this?"

Xiu Wu glanced at him, thought about it, and decided not to tell them. Tan Wei touched his chin and asked, "Is it possible that what that mysterious voice said is also something shameful that you dare not tell us?"

As soon as these words came out, Ji Yang’s eyes lit up. He came closer to Xiu Wu, smiled, and teasingly asked, "Is it really a shameful thing?"

Xiu Wu turned his face away and said, "No."

Looking at his expression that he would rather die than tell them, Ji Yang clicked his tongue and asked, "If it’s not shameful talk, why can’t you tell us what that mysterious voice said? If you don’t want to tell us, how can we help you to solve this problem?"

Tan Wei nodded and said, "Yeah, Lao Xiu, just tell us so we can help you."

Under their constant persuasion, Xiu Wu gritted his teeth and said, "That mysterious voice claimed that Xiao Lin is my wife, so I have to take her back no matter what happens. He also talks about... what he wants to do to her whenever I see her."

After hearing his words, both Ji Yang and Tan Wei looked at Xiu Wu with pity. Tan Wei patted him on the shoulder, nodded in understanding, and said, "Brother, you have suffered. No wonder you have spring dreams every time you fall asleep. This is because you have been listening to live pornographic stories all day long. As long as you are a healthy adult man, you will have this reaction."

Hearing what Tan Wei said, Xiu Wu’s face darkened, while Ji Yang couldn’t help laughing out loud. That night, the three of them spent the whole night trying to find a way to get rid of the mysterious voice inside Xiu Wu’s head. Unfortunately, there was nothing they could do about it.

The next day, when Zheng Yimu went to visit Ji Yang, he was surprised to see three handsome men with black eye bags similar to those of pandas staring at him.

Looking at the fresh and good looking Zheng Yimu, Ji Yang asked, "What brings Captain Zheng here today? Is the payment ready?"

Hearing Ji Yang’s question, Zheng Yimu came back to his senses. He looked away from Xiu Wu and Tan Wei who looked haggard, and then looked at Ji Yang, whose eyes were bloodshot.

’What on earth did the three of them do to make them look like this? Did they meet a formidable opponent? Or were they fighting the first fourth rank zombie or mutant?’

Although his mind was running fast, Zheng Yimu’s expression didn’t show anything. He looked at Ji Yang calmly and said, "We still need a few days before we can get the third rank crystal nucleus from the laboratory."

"Then what brings Captain Zheng here?" Ji Yang asked again.

Seeing their impatient expressions, Zheng Yimu stopped talking nonsense and said, "I heard that Captain Xiu is looking for a blacksmith and offers a very high salary to help him forge armor and weapons. So today I came here to ask, can I apply for this job?"
