The third world: Doomsday Agent and his little assistant. (1)

It’s smooth and soft, and feels good to the touch.

Chu Shici was rubbed in Gu Yunzhe’s hands.

He stretched out his long jelly-shaped arms, wanting to shake hands with the hero.

“I am your combat partner. If you have something to say in the future, I know a lot.”

After Chu Shici finished speaking, there was no sound from the other side for a long time.

He turned his head and saw the handsome man playing with his watch.

Chu Shici flew over: “What are you looking for, I have all the functions of the watch, and I am a talking assistant. If you have any questions, you can just ask me.”

Gu Yunzhe glanced at him, his voice remained unchanged: “How to turn off the talking assistant.”

Chu Shici: …

Sorry, he hid the off button.

Without an explanation, the male protagonist should never even think about turning him off in his life.

___

While Gu Yunzhe was eating the canned food, Chu Shici was looking at him.

The male lead in this world is even colder than Su Zheyan and Mingzhe combined.

He doesn’t know if it is because the vitality value is too low or the first two male protagonists are just not talkative, but they can respond to the outside world to some extent.

Such as anger, disdain, or curiosity.

Gu Yunzhe was different, Chu Shici danced on top of his head, but Gu Yunzhe didn’t even lift his eyelids.

After trying to communicate to no avail, Chu Shici began to study his own body.

He stretched out his limp hand, tapped it in the air, and projected a light screen.

Shown above is a row of options.

[Map], [Task], [Information/Guide], [Archive/Load]

Chu Shici originally thought that the final save file loading was similar to the function in the game.

But when he clicked on it, he found out that it was ‘Save to Unknown File’ and ‘Read Known File’.

This word game is really smooth.

Because the file is missing, there is nothing in the file, and Gu Yunzhe needs to input everything for searches.

It is very tasteless.

In addition to the map, other functions are also temporarily disabled due to data corruption.

Chu Shici tried to restore the data, and a line of prompts popped up.

[The system has been corrupted in an unknown attack, and the database has been destroyed.]

Chu Shici pondered for a while.

The hero lost his memory, and the database of his combat partner was corrupted.

No matter how you look at it, this is a scene of conspiracy.

The previous summary said that Gu Yunzhe, who had lost his memory, was wandering in the deserted city.

He was looking for something very important.

Chu Shici suspected that he had lost his memory. This whole event should be related to that thing.

Below the archive, there is a small video camera.

Chu Shici casually clicked on it and found that it was a selfie function.

In the picture, the milky white sphere of light waved its hand and made a gesture.

The photo was taken successfully, and a new file appeared in the archive.

[System: Combat Partner 2033]

[Model: Little Angel]

[Affiliation: Machinery Association]

[Seventh-generation artificial intelligence, imitating slime design. This model comes with a cherub skin with a healing potion inside. (Information provided by Human Freedom Alliance)]

On the side taskbar, a notification also appeared.

[The S-level mission failed, please return to the Human Freedom Alliance immediately, Agent S-2033.]

Chu Shici felt that this thing should be very important.

He put the light screen in front of the hero, “Look, the organisation wants you to go home.”

Gu Yunzhe glanced at it, then continued to eat the canned food quietly.

Chu Shici poked him on the head: “Don’t eat, give me a reaction.”

No matter how much he tosses and turns, Gu Yunzhe ignores him.

After eating the canned food, he calmly said: “I’m looking for something, I can only go back when I find it.”

“Then do you know what it is? Round, square or flat?”

“I have no idea.”

“Alive or dead, roughly how old?”

Gu Yunzhe pondered for a while, and took out the damaged box from his backpack, “Before I lost it, it should have been packed here.”

Chu Shici took the box.

The shape of this box is very similar to that of a glasses box, and the size is basically the same.

The box was made of a special material. After Chu Shici scanned it, a string of asterisks appeared.

When it comes to encrypted files, his authority is too low to decrypt it.

The box has been destroyed by external power, the lid is almost torn off.

Chu Shici agreed with Gu Yunzhe.

That being the case, what they were looking for should be a cuboid object whose volume would not exceed the size of this box.

Chu Shici also wanted to discuss with the hero.

But after Gu Yunzhe took back the box, he never said a word to him again.

Chu Shici sighed.

Every world is like this.

The vitality value of the male protagonist in the early stage is too low, and he will not respond too much to the outside world. In this autistic state, it is very difficult to communicate.

But he has experience, once he reaches 30 or 40 vitality value, he will be able to speak normally.

___

No matter day or night, the city is silent.

The city had already cut off electricity, and the streets were dark after nightfall.

Gu Yunzhe cleaned up the trash, and put the little assistant flying around on the bedside.

Just as Chu Shici was about to ask him what’s the matter, Gu Yunzhe pressed the four corners of his body, and laid his head on him, preparing to sleep.

Chu Shici was crushed flat.

He reached out to poke the male lead, “I’m deformed! You can’t do this to me, raise your head.”

Gu Yunzhe didn’t respond, so he kept poking.

After dozens of pokes, a helpless sigh resounded in the room.

Gu Yunzhe rubbed him back into a round shape.

Chu Shici’s status has successfully changed from a small pillow to a small hug pillow.

He had just arrived in the New World, and met a man who was suspected of being his husband*, so he couldn’t sleep.

*(dk if I’ve put this but husband in modern chinese is 老公 his husband, but the word for someone who is the top in the r/s is 攻 which is also pronounced gong. They have the same pitch. The author puts 老攻)

Chu Shici twisted his body, “Your name is Gu Yunzhe? I have a friend who also has a Zhe in his name.”

He froze for a moment, his eyes lit up instantly, “No, there are two friends. What a coincidence, you also have Zhe in your name. I feel close to you when I look at you. Can I call you Zhe-ge in the future?”

No one answered his words, and Chu Shici didn’t care.

He called out the system, ‘Su Zheyan, Mingzhe, Gu Yunzhe, all three of them have the word Zhe. I’m very sure, this is my husband.’

The system made a cup of coffee and prepared to stay up late to watch dramas.

[Your conclusion is a bit hasty, but judging by his personality, they really seem like a person. Wait a minute, I’ve already asked the main system to check.]

Chu Shici was confident in his judgement.

The look in Gu Yunzhe’s eyes became much softer in an instant.

He stretched out his limp little hand and pressed it on the man’s pale and slender fingers.

“Zhe-ge, do you still remember how the thing disappeared? Any faint impression is fine.”

His voice suddenly became very gentle, Gu Yunzhe looked at him in surprise.

What caught his eye was a small round white sphere, no matter how you looked at it, it was not aggressive.

Gu Yunzhe stretched out his hand and rubbed it, then replied casually, “Forgot.”

“You should have been attacked, is it someone or something?”

“Can’t remember.”

Chu Shici wanted to ask again, but Gu Yunzhe suddenly pressed his face.

He was at a loss for a moment: “What is this for?”

Gu Yunzhe’s cold voice came from behind, “You can still talk.”

“You didn’t cover my mouth, why can’t I speak?”

“Where?”

That slender and pale hand fumbled around Chu Shici’s body.

He is too round, the hero can’t find his mouth.

Chu Shici took his hand and put it on his mouth, indicating that his mouth was here.

With the faint light emanating from his body, Chu Shici saw the hero suddenly hiding in the shadow of a corner and looking out the window vigilantly.

The next second, there was a loud noise on the street outside.

The sound of people talking, hawkers yelling, and even the sound of car engines.

This dead city seemed to come alive in an instant.

Chu Shici had just come to this world, so he didn’t understand the situation yet.

He blinked in confusion, ‘Tong-ge, didn’t you say that after the hero woke up, he was the only one left in the city?’

The system is also confused.

[That’s what the summary said…it must be a ghost.]

Gu Yunzhe pulled up the dusty quilt and completely covered himself.

The arm holding the sphere of light inadvertently let go, and Chu Shici jumped out of his arms, bounced twice on the ground, and jumped to the window.

He turned on the night mode, hid the light on his body, and looked out with his head.

By the moonlight, a three-story humanoid monster could be faintly seen walking slowly on the street.

It is covered with arms, and in each hand it holds a human head.

The skin is dry and wrinkled. From a distance, it looks more like a walking tree branch than a person.

Those people’s heads were shaking in the air, their mouths were opening and closing, and they kept talking.

Every time the monster came to a building, it would put the human head in its hand through the window, looking for living people from room to room.

Chu Shici could see this scene clearly, and he was terrified.

‘Tong-ge, what world did you choose! ‘

[Apocalypse novel ah, BL, haven’t you read the plot outline?]

Chu Shici did not read it.

He took out the outline and read it carefully.

The story roughly tells that the protagonist Shou travelled to the end of the world with the golden finger of an agricultural expert. Became the wife of aloof City Lord gong, where they married each other first and then fell in love, and the two distributed dog food while farming in the last days of the world.

The city the gong built prospered everyday, and with the help of Shou, he became the world’s sole ruler.

Although it is a post-apocalyptic novel, the novel is from the shou’s perspective, the main content is farming, and there are not many descriptions of monsters and the world outside the city.

Gu Yunzhe is the main gong of the original text, but plot has not yet started, and the original text will only start after five years.

Chu Shici pointed to the original text, ‘The book says the city lord has black hair and black eyes.’

[What are you more focused on? I’ll ask you, when do the protagonists actually match the description in the original novel? I even suspect that you guys are stuck with a bug. If it wasn’t for the fact that we are close brothers now, I… damn it! The heads are coming!]

The system screamed, turned around and ran.

A withered arm, holding a little girl’s head, slowly stretched in through the window.

Chu Shici hid in the corner of the wall, turning into a puddle of water.

It’s not that he’s timid, it’s that the scene is too terrifying.

Those monsters on the Desolate Star look better than the ones outside.

The two beady eyes dangled around, and saw a bunch of extremely eye-catching white hairs under the dark bed not far away.

The male lead, who was suspected of being the husband, had already hid under the bed at some point.

He covered himself tightly with the quilt, but a few strands of hair were exposed.

Chu Shici quietly flowed over to help him cover the conspicuous white hair.

A girl’s childish voice sounded in the room, “Is anyone home?”

“Is anyone home?”

The giggles came from far to near, Gu Yunzhe held his breath and concentrated on the dagger in his hand.

At this moment, he touched a puddle of water with his hand that was close to the ground.

The pool of water flowed in from the bottom of the quilt.

They gathered more and more, and finally merged into a sphere in his arms.

Shaking back and forth in his arms, trembling with fright.

Gu Yunzhe touched it twice, and the little assistant gradually calmed down.

The head held by the monster did not find the person hiding under the bed.

The girl’s voice became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared.

Pressing against the floor, one could vaguely hear heavy footsteps outside, walking towards another street.

At the same time, the watch on Gu Yunzhe’s hand lit up.

The light of Chu Shici’s sphere flickered, and a light screen was projected from his body.

In the archive column, there is an extra message.

[Relevant images have been collected, and information has been searched from the alliance public network.]

[Disaster-level monster-Nightwalker.]

[Nightwalker is the first unknown creature to appear. It was only one metre high at first, and after eating a village, it became what it is today. The brains of people killed by nightwalkers are still alive. Every night, it will help it to lure in other prey. (Information provided by Human Freedom Alliance)]

At the same time, a new task popped up in the assistant.

[Optional task: Kill Night Walker (released by Human Freedom Alliance)]

[Agent S-2033, please choose whether to accept it.]

Chu Shici looked at the hero.

Gu Yunzhe still had no expression on his face, his amber eyes looked extraordinarily cold.

He said to the system: ‘If we don’t talk about anything else, just based on this, he looks so domineering.’

[Of course, he is at the peak of combat power in the original novel. It’s similar to your Yan-ge, beautiful, strong and miserable, and the character design is very Su*.]

*(mary sue, self insert, wish fulfilment)

‘It’s not similar, it’s carved out of the same mould. I trust my feelings, my heart beats faster when I look at him, this is a love that transcends time and space.’

[That is so cringe.]

Chu Shici ignored the system.

He stretched out his transparent little hand, and was about to help his husband choose to receive it.

Gu Yunzhe, who had been silent all this time, suddenly raised his hand and pressed No.

Chu Shici was taken aback for a moment, “This is a task issued by the organisation, isn’t it good to accept it?”

Gu Yunzhe’s tone was cold: “Not accepting.”

“Why?”

As soon as this was mentioned, Gu Yunzhe’s usually expressionless face was full of disgust.

“When they are injured, they will burst into juice, which is disgusting.”

This is the longest sentence he has said since they met.

Chu Shici couldn’t bear to ask him what happened to him before.

Gu Yunzhe crawled out from under the bed and stood quietly by the window.

Chu Shici floated to his side.

The faint white light shone on the male protagonist’s face, and Chu Shici saw sadness in his eyes.

“Zhe-ge, what’s wrong with you?”

The room was quiet for a long time, and he heard Gu Yunzhe’s cold voice.

“I always feel that the world shouldn’t be like this.”

___

Early the next morning, the city returned to silence again.

Gu Yunzhe got up in a hurry and washed his face with bottled water.

The shelf life of this water is only one month, and it has been expired for five or six years.

Chu Shici was watching him in the corner. Gu Yunzhe glanced at him, and poured out a small basin of water.

Chu Shici jumped in to take a bath, raised his head and asked, “The water here has expired for so long, what do you drink?”

Gu Yunzhe ignored him, took off his clothes in silence, and wiped the dust off his body.

“It’s not good for your health.”

No one answered his words.

Chu Shici was floating on the water, “Then why don’t you go back to the alliance first, there must be supplies there.”

Looking back at this, Yunzhe finally had a reaction.

“That thing is very important to me, and it’s in this city. I’m not going anywhere until I find it.”

Chu Shici raised his hand, “Why don’t you contact the organisation to help you find it together. There are many people and there’s strength in numbers, so don’t go alone.”

Gu Yunzhe looked at him, as if he was seriously thinking about it.

After a while, he nodded.

Chu Shici rummaged through the built-in system and found the organisation’s internal network.

To enter the network, you need to enter a number. He entered Gu Yunzhe’s number, but a line of red letters was displayed on it.

[Mission failure record detected, Agent S-2033 has been deprived of privileges and has no right to enter the network.]

[Agent S-2033, please return to the Human Freedom Alliance immediately and accept the court trial.]

Chu Shici silently withdrew.

The atmosphere was awkward, and he didn’t think about what to say.

Gu Yunzhe still looked calm.

He didn’t seem to have much affection for that organisation.

___

Today Gu Yunzhe was looking for that thing in the deserted city as usual.

The difference is that in the past, he was the only one walking on the lonely street.

Today he has an extra assistant by his side.

The white jelly-like ball bounced back and forth beside him, one word followed another calling out Zhe-ge happily.

Gu Yunzhe looked at the little assistant, his brows that had been tightly furrowed, slightly loosened.

The city was in dilapidation, and large parts of buildings collapsed.

The post-apocalyptic scene made Chu Shici feel a little chilled.

It seems that the people in this city have either escaped or been eaten by monsters.

Gu Yunzhe walked to the central main street, with Chu Shici flying beside him.

He looked around curiously.

On the wall of a shop not far away, there is a sign made of white paint, which looks like some kind of bird.

Chu Shici’s body vibrated, and a light screen popped up in front of his eyes again.

[Relevant images have been collected, and information has been searched from the public network.]

[Neutral faction – White Dove Church.]

[White Dove Church was determined to rebuild the post-apocalyptic world. They loved peace but have perished (provided by Human Freedom Alliance)]

Chu Shici was about to continue walking, but when he turned his head, he saw Gu Yunzhe standing where he was, staring at the sign.

He floated over: “Zhe-ge, did you remember something?”

Gu Yunzhe fell into deep thought.

At the end of the day, they didn’t find any useful clues.

The main reason is that Gu Yunzhe’s memory loss is too severe.

Chu Shici felt that they were wandering aimlessly rather than finding something.

After another day wasted, Gu Yunzhe looked a little tired.

He kicked open the door of a house, planning to spend the night inside.

Just as Chu Shici was about to follow in, a shrill siren suddenly sounded outside.

He turned his head to look, and the sky, which was still a little bright earlier, suddenly dimmed completely.
