Help, I've become a paper man

Chapter 380 Why

Song Yi slowly opened his eyes, with more questions in his mind. Before he could speak, Lin Jiu came over, put his arm on his shoulders, and said with a smile:

"They all told me when they came back. You followed them and saw the changes. It would be hard for you to accept such a situation."

Song Yi tilted his head and asked, "You know that too?"

Lin Jiu didn't answer. He just put his hand down and tapped him lightly on the shoulder, saying, "You'll get used to it."

Seeing this situation, Song Yi still had nothing to understand. If everyone had known what the monsters in Purgatory were, then...

"You also know that they, they used to be stardust?" Song Yi asked again, his eyes falling on Lin Jiu, serious and sincere, as if he wanted to seek help.

Lin Jiu had turned around and was about to go back to his brother, but when he heard his words, he paused. When he spoke again, his voice was light and fluttery, saying:

"Yeah, so you didn't want to before, and we didn't force you."

After finishing speaking, Lin Jiu walked forward without looking back. He took a few steps back to his brothers and gathered together again, laughing and talking about something, and they were going to go into one of their rooms.

The night seemed to be even colder. Song Yi stood there, simply looking at them, just looking until a few minutes later, a voice was heard.

"Everyone has known this for a long time. After all, this isn't the first time. Purgatory descends from time to time. I think I told you before."

Zhigui's voice sounded, and at some point, the man took a step forward, walked up to him, and patted him on the back.

The force used was not small, and Song Yi was shaken. At the same time, Zhigui said:

"Oh, right, the last time, you know about it, right? It was at Ling Zhi's place, she was very busy at the time, and I wanted to join in the fun, but she annoyed me more than Yan Changyue."

"Although I didn't make it, I did see you while walking around the area, running around with the pony."

Song Yi smiled but did not answer. As for this memory, it had not been long since then, but his mood now was completely different from what it was then.

Zhigui glanced at him and continued, "Don't think too much, don't think too little. These things have been foreshadowed. Ling Zhi specially invited you."

"Change your thinking. Yan Changyue is very capable, but she wants Yan Changyue to come, but she doesn't need Yan Changyue to go to the battlefield. It can't be that she wants to boost morale just for his face."

“Although just looking at that face is pretty good too, hahahaha!”

Zhigui paused slightly here, because Song Yi turned his head, and their eyes met and they stared at each other.

During the eye contact, Zhigui's eyes softened, and even his tone became lighter, and he said:

"Yan Changyue has the best craftsmen who are good at forging this. You should have heard that Ling Zhi has never been rich. After the wave of purgatory came, he had the money to hire people and also got new weapons."

"It's funny, isn't it? A disaster constructed from death and disaster is actually a gold mine."

"The monsters in Purgatory are the best materials. The plants that grow from their corpses can be used for refining. Together with the contaminated stones, they can become part of the materials for building the teleportation array."

"Not to mention that after Purgatory is cleared, another copy will be created in its original place."

"In general, when the disaster is minor, it is a blessing, and when the disaster is major..."

When Zhigui said this, he seemed to have thought of something and laughed abruptly. There was no joy in his laugh, but because of the hint of helplessness, he seemed a little crazy.

"It's a life-and-death situation." Zhigui said.

Song Yi looked at him and slowly said, "Yan Changyue didn't tell me."

Whether it was the content of the work, the agreement with Ling Zhi, or the reason for asking him and Jasmine to go to the next chapter...

Song Yi took a deep breath, and this time when he blinked, he kept his eyes closed for a few seconds before looking at Zhigui again.

"Why does Ling Zhi hate you?" he asked.

The topic changed and he finally came to another part that he was concerned about. There was a sentence mixed in that made him feel strange and he wanted to know the reason.

This is indeed important, because as soon as he finished asking, Zhigui turned his eyes away, pretending nothing had happened, and jumped directly to the next topic, asking:

"We'll talk about this later. It's quite cold and we have to work tomorrow. Rest is important. Rest is important. Are you going back today?"

Song Yi looked suspicious, but seeing that the stardust around him had already left, he nodded in agreement when he saw a figure in the dark night, and said:

"I won't go back."

After hearing his words, Zhigui took action immediately and dragged him away, while introducing Xiaozhi, saying that Xiaozhi was not in the room, because his friend was injured today and he had to go to stay with him, and Song Yi could just sleep over there.

Song Yi asked: "Who is injured? Xiao Que? Also, you are trying to change the subject. Why does Ling Zhi hate you?"

Zhigui laughed twice, touched his chin, and said in a profound manner: "Of course not, Xiaoque is a girl. Even if she is injured, it is not Xiaozhi's turn to take care of her. We have other girls in our family."

Song Yi asked again: "Why do you hate it?"

Zhigui coughed lightly and replied, "It's a long story. A long, long time ago, the two parties in the contract had a clear master-servant relationship. Xingchen had suffered so much that he naturally didn't want to be..."

"To make a long story short, boss, cats are very curious and I'm eager to hear the reason." Song Yi interrupted him and emphasized seriously.

In fact, rather than being curious, the reason why Song Yi was "anxious" was because he was worried. He always felt that this person wanted to run away. If Ying Rushi had not left, Zhigui would have to take him to find a place to live. Maybe this person had already slipped away.

Fortunately, the boss is responsible. Song Yi just thought so, and heard Zhigui cough lightly and said:

"Okay, to make a long story short, I'm going to tell you a shocking secret. When Dust Star was first established, they kidnapped that person, broke up with the noble families, and tried their best to find out how to conclude a further contract."

"It's all for Xingchen, for Xingchen to be treated as an independent life, for Xingchen not to be treated as a pet, for Xingchen to live well, and for life not to be controlled by others."

"In order to allow Stardust to choose, you know that your current contract is that even if the contract holder dies, you can live alone."

"No need to be treated as an accessory while alive, and no need to be buried alive with the master after his death."

Zhigui became more and more excited as he spoke, and his emotions were very contagious, which made Song Yi nod his head. However, after listening to him, Song Yi asked again:

"So, why does Ling Zhi hate you?"

Zhigui choked when he heard this, and his expression froze for a moment, but he still satisfied Song Yi and continued reluctantly:

"The leader at the time was a bit impulsive, and his actions were too violent during the process. In addition, the environment at the time was in a chaotic period, and the information spread, and more Stardust took advantage of the situation." "They shouted slogans, saying that they were Stardust, and that it was for all of us, but at the same time they indulged in their desires."

"During that time, violent incidents caused by stardust occurred frequently, so that human perception of stardust was once again reduced."

"The first one... He killed to stop the killing. He cleared out a bunch of people, including stardust and humans."

"Although there is some effect, it must be said that the trust between humans and Stardust has further decreased. It can even be said that they are almost incompatible."

Zhigui sighed softly, met Song Yi's gaze, and without waiting for him to ask again, Zhigui sighed and continued:

"You may not know that I, Ling Zhi, Yan Changyue, Feng Jihuan... although we are not from aristocratic families or the Federation, we are not the kind of regulated 'self-sufficiency'."

“We are ahead of a group of people for a certain goal, but what we pursue is different.”

"Ling Zhi's family fought to protect the people in the territory and their stardust. During this change, Ling Zhi's family died in battle."
