Chapter 252: Good Night and Tomorrow

Like credit card bills, like old classmates borrowing money, like company dissolution and social security suspension...

A bolt from the blue always comes suddenly, without warning.

"Hm?" Wen Wen raised her eyes.

"Hm?!" Tong Hua was shocked.

"emmm..." This is Ye Chun who is hesitant to speak.

"Ah?" Little An was dazed.

"Oh roar..." This is the feeling of the melon-eating old man.

"..." This is Tong Shan who doesn't know how to react.

In this silence that is too complicated in various senses, all gazes are gathered on Ji Jue, shock, doubt, curiosity...

He suddenly understood a truth:

Sometimes, people are fine in the last second, and people are dead in the next second.

Or the distance to death is just a breath away.

He subconsciously wanted to distinguish "I don't have a basement at home!", but before he could finish, cold sweat came down: Wrong, my home really has one...

For a time, after being cold and shaking, he could only explain in vain: "Where is there anyone in the basement!"

And all gazes fell on Ghost Work again.

Ghost Work just shook slightly, and the scorched marks and mercury residues on his body disappeared. Although the dignified matrix holy relic suffered a loss in the first encounter, it was not enough to fall into the ditch, it was just that it was unreasonable and not easy to fight back, so it was a bit embarrassed.

At this moment, speaking is even more earnest: "It's fine if you lie to others, brother, don't lie to yourself..."

"Where did I lie to you!"

Ji Jue was so angry that he was about to cry.

Especially when the eyes falling on him again became dangerous.

"Kid, let me confirm again..."

Wen Wen put down the wine glass, smiling but not smiling: "It's only been a week, you shouldn't have fallen to the point of imprisoning a young girl, right?"

"Adults won't work either." Ye Chun added "solemnly".

Ji Jue glared angrily. When I turn over in the future, I will lock you in the basement, feed you cucumber-flavored potato chips and Pepsi every day!

Little An looked left and right dazed, opened his mouth to speak, and after a long time of hesitation, his face turned red, speaking for his idol: "Brother Ji Jue, I... I believe you have unspeakable difficulties."

"Ah yes yes yes." Tong Hua nodded vigorously, taking the opportunity to fall into the well: "As everyone knows, artisans are always short of money, and it is inevitable to go wrong. It is possible that it is just kidnapping and accidentally discovered by us.

Everyone don't worry, Ji Jue will handle it well."

Tsk, you little Ether devil who is evil by nature, I will deal with you first with my own hands!!!!

Old Zhang didn't speak, but the orange peels in front of him were almost piled into a mountain. I don't know how many meals he ate watching Ji Jue's fun. Helplessly, he could only look at the only reliable good brother Tong... and then saw that the plant was already wearing his work ID on his chest, gloating:

"Is this considered working hours?"

Already ready to go out at any time!!!

Gloria on the chandelier poked her head curiously: "What is imprisoning a young girl?"

"Well, it's locking up a little girl, not letting her go out, and not letting her watch TV." Ye Chun explained with a smile: "Just like Little Nine, you were... by your big brother..."

Parasite, shut up!!!

Hard, hard, the fist is hard.

In grief and indignation, Ji Jue turned his head and looked at the surveillance camera in the corner.

Red light flickered, saying nothing.

The workshop spirit watched with great interest, appreciating the appearance of its user falling into a dilemma and being on the verge of social death.

Until Ji Jue sighed helplessly.

Waved at her: "Isis, don't you want to come out and see?"

The dome cracked, mercury flowed and turned into a screen, blurred starlight appeared, turning into a blurred female silhouette.

Just like a lady meeting a guest, she bent slightly and performed a skirt-lifting ceremony.

"I'm sorry, because the deworming work disturbed everyone's celebration."

She said slowly: "However, limited by the workshop conditions, it is inconvenient for me to show up, please forgive me. Also, please don't let the uninvited non-combustible trash gentleman trigger the anti-theft alarm again."

"Woah!!!"

Shocked voice sounded, Hanhan watched for a long time: "Artificial intelligence is so advanced!!!"

Wen Wen was well-informed, and after a glance, she understood instantly. After watching enough fun, she patted Ji Jue on the shoulder: "Not bad, built the workshop frame so quickly?"

"The completion is so high... but why are the sexual characteristics so obvious?"

A certain parasite Senior Sister, although she is an ember insulator, is at least someone who has eaten and seen things. Seeing Isis at this moment, she was more aware of the difficulty and complexity than others, and immediately keenly noticed the blind spot.

After Ye Chun's gaze wandered between Ji Jue and Isis for a while, she quickly understood: "Although it's a bit perverted, considering it's you, it's normal."

"..."

Ji Jue's fist was hard, and at this moment he squeezed out a smile, saying nothing.

Just exposed a corner of the manuscript of the paper he had just finished writing recently—"The Blade of Two-in-One: A Combination and Utilization of a Large Group and White Deer".

Wait for death, you academic salted fish!

Watch me use the invincible ex-wife and stepmother to blast you into slag tomorrow!!!

"What's your name? Isis?" Tong Hua had already leaned over, enthusiastically chatting: "How old are you? No, do you artificial intelligence have this saying? What do you do? Universal housekeeper?"

Isis's tone was gentle: "If divided by human methods, I was born in the real world for about half a month. Thanks to Miss Tong for your concern, my current job is to manage the workshop and handle chores for the user."

"Woah!! You know me?" Tong Hua was shocked.

"Everyone who visited today, except for the earlier materials, is recorded in the visit file, including your detailed information, Miss Tong."

"You know this too?"

Hanhan was pleasantly surprised and became more enthusiastic. After glancing at Ji Jue, she waved a small hoe in his face: "Do you want to work for me? My family is super rich, the salary is very high, and the spiritual quality is enough every month!"

"Thanks for the invitation, but this has to be asked about the gentleman's thoughts."

That kind and considerate appearance couldn't see the vicious and cold nature in private at all. Even the tone of speaking was unprecedentedly gentle, making Ji Jue want to speak several times: Where did this ability to have two faces in front of and behind people learn from?

She hadn't exposed any dark nature at all, it was simply like a virtual idol, relying on the melodious voice and projection, easily gaining the favor and exclamation of everyone present.

Except for Ghost Work who almost showed his head and was killed in seconds...

"Something is wrong, brother, the completion of your workshop spirit is a bit outrageous!"

Ghost Work, who just kicked Ji Jue to the edge of the cliff, rolled over like nothing happened, whispering: "Where did you get it?"

Generally speaking, a workshop's spiritual intelligence is endowed by its creator with human-like expressions, but most are peaceful and stable, including spiritual intelligences like Ghost Work, which originate from the dark side of an artisan; they are limited to trash talk or being moody for a while.

But Isis's structure is different from all others, more like a black box, difficult to guess the internal structure and sequence through external performance.

Especially the unmasked ferocity and aggressiveness, it is really too exaggerated.

This is purely a manifestation of loss of control.

No, maybe there was no restriction and framework from the beginning, letting it grow wildly, it just happened to grow into the appearance of a workshop spirit.

But there are too many things besides that, too many to control.

And what's even more evil is that these two seem to get along very well?!

As the "big brother", Ghost Work could only tactfully remind: "Be careful..."

"What is careful?"

Ji Jue glared at this culprit: "This is my partner."

"Huo, then you will be miserable in the future!"

Ghost Work gloated, just wanting to mock a certain artisan who didn't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth, when he noticed...

A cold gaze looked over from not far away.

Surrounded by guests, the projection of the workshop spirit raised her hand, brushed her virtual long hair, and cast a glance with a smile.

Instantly, Ghost Work had nothing to say.

Watching the pair of dog men and women being affectionate, everything said was in vain.

Muttering something like "won't die well", "all troublesome women around", and other ghost words, he rolled away...

And after a brief appearance, Isis politely excused herself and disappeared. The wine party was still going on, and the interest was high.

With the resistance of the Chosen Ones, no matter how much ordinary alcohol there is, it is only for fun. The real lively atmosphere is the relaxation and frankness brought by familiar people sitting together.

Even Tong Shan unbuttoned the collar and rolled up his sleeves.

Between talking and laughing, he looked at Ji Jue: "What are you going to do next? Any plans?"

He had been coveting Ji Jue for a long time.

"Before I looked for you, you kept pushing that you were an apprentice. Now you are the artisan chief of this session, you shouldn't be lacking in ability, right?" He asked, "Do you want to come to the Anquan Bureau?"

There are really not many reliable guys in the Anquan Bureau.

To be precise, it is more than enough to maintain operation on weekdays, but if there is any sudden event, there are really too few people who can make a decisive decision to solve things or take responsibility, and make people feel at ease.

Talent in one aspect is always scarce.

If it weren't for Ye Xian, Tong Shan would have been willing to lose his face, and even if he had to cheat, he would have to find Ji Jue to sign a contract.

Tie it to the boat first.

Just as Ji Xue said, if you encounter good jade, if you don't grab it, it will be grabbed by others.

"Forget it."

Ji Jue shook his head. He wouldn't put the almost unlimited budget and supply out of his eyes, but the Anquan Bureau always does things with tied hands and feet, looking at people's faces, and recently the atmosphere of the high-level in Haizhou is weirdly fierce, he really doesn't want to wade into this muddy water.

"For now, let's focus on the workshop first." He said, "I haven't planned to finish my apprenticeship yet, and I still plan to continue training."

The banana of the Elephant Sword is still hanging in front, how could a dog like Ji Jue be willing to move his eyes away?

Tong Shan had expected this, and was not surprised.

Raised his beer glass and smiled slightly: "If you need anything, don't be polite."

"Each other."

Ji Jue laughed and clinked glasses.

Drank it in one gulp.

The lively and noisy banquet lasted until two o'clock in the middle of the night. The chicken finished the rice, the dog finished the noodles, the fire burned the lock, and it was completely exhausted. After all the beer and peanuts bought in the afternoon were finished, everyone left with satisfaction.

After Ji Jue and Ye Chun sent people back after all kinds of messy things like pulling hair, stepping on feet, and breaking fingers, they walked home.

When pushing the door to return, he felt so cold.

Couldn't help but sigh.

However, under the dim light, the messy cups and plates were gone, and even the floor became spotless, and all the chaos was cleaned up.

Ji Jue was slightly stunned: "Isis?"

"I am here." The cold voice returned.

Ji Jue laughed, "Thank you."

"Just a duty."

Ji Jue walked towards the basement, looking at everything running in an orderly manner, and asked: "How do you feel today?"

"Noisy, chaotic, feels very troublesome."

The workshop spirit didn't see the gentleness and warmth before, straightforward and cold: "However, it is rare to be lively."

"Yes."

"And..."

Isis paused for a moment, as if feeling: "I didn't expect that you, sir, don't look like a human when you expose your true nature in private, but you pretend to be very normal in places with many people. It seems that my observation of you is still insufficient, and it needs to be supplemented. If you can cooperate with the dissection, it would be even better.

Look at your iron bed and your scalpel now, don't you think something is missing?"

"..."

Ji Jue's eye twitched, helpless, always feeling that one day he would wake up in the workshop's furnace.

"Spare me for now, Isis." Ji Jue sighed "Today's sharp comment ends here."

"Okay, sir."

The workshop spirit followed suit and told him: "However, I will always watch you..."

She said: "Always, always."

"..."

Broken, how does it seem like being targeted by a female ghost...

"Watch whatever you want."

Ji Jue rolled over helplessly and closed his eyes.

Isis dimmed the lights and said goodbye for the last time.

"Then, good night, sir."

The door closed.

In the early morning, Ji Jue had already opened his eyes and saw the familiar scorched mark on the iron bed: it was burned by drooling while sleeping again.

After living this kind of burning life for a long time, he actually started to get used to it.

After taking a shower, he swayed towards the teacher's workshop, bought breakfast on the way, relaxed and happy.

Just entering the workshop's operation room, he saw the figure with his back to him.

The huge translucent giant structure floated in mid-air. After the outline of the giant whale unfolded, the light of the blessing flickered and changed with the structure of the spiritual quality circuit.

An eye looked at Ji Jue, showing the spirit and brilliance like a human.

However, it closed its eyes without interest soon.

Until the routine maintenance ended, the giant whale sank into the shadow like water and disappeared.

Ye Xian turned around slowly.

"So early today?"

"Slept well last night."

Ji Jue smiled: "Just in one go, solve the parts I didn't understand before, and there is a paper I want you to see. Does the teacher have anything to order?"

"Indeed, there is something to discuss with you, but before that..."

Ye Xian turned around, examining Ji Jue's spirited appearance: "How is the blessing mastered?"

"I've gotten used to it recently, and the control of body temperature is almost introductory. Although there is still a distance from complete digestion, it won't spontaneously combust if I'm not careful."

Ye Xian nodded, suddenly suggested: "Try your hand?"

Ji Jue subconsciously touched his face when he heard this. After the past few days, the traces of bruises and swelling had disappeared, and they were all healed.

It is the so-called healed scars and forgot the pain.

Ji Jue's fighting spirit was aroused again, just like the countless times he sought his own death before.

"Okay."

He nodded decisively, without hesitation.

Then...

He flew out in the spinning world.

Boom!

Embedded in the wall, couldn't be pulled down.

"Fighting spirit is commendable, but unfortunately, the reaction is still poor."

Ye Xian, who was still standing in place, carried her hands behind her back, sighed regretfully: "The appearance of not knowing life or death is actually more progressive than before."

Just like that, she hooked her finger at him.

"Come on."

She said: "I'll let you attack first this time."
