Mist (Web Novel CN)

Overload

Chapter 98

The two were too engrossed with the kiss and hadn’t noticed another person entering the room.

Even the usually vigilant Song Qinglan was completely unaware.

Needless to say, Song Qinglan could guess what this Ji Yushi before him thought he was doing.

Firstly, he had pushed the other person and pressed them against the wall without saying a single word and then he restrained the other person’s arms, preventing them from moving before finally going for the lips. Probably because he was afraid of other people seeing him in this evil act, he even pushed the other person into a room. Not only forcing a kiss and even getting physical, bullying the other person to the point of tearing up and cry out in pain…..

Adding to that the fact that he had noticed that something wasn’t right since the beginning of this cycle and asked if he did something wrong…..

In short, it was three words: Being a thug.

After asking this question, Song Qinglan who knew very clearly that he was still carrying the title of a ‘homophobic steel straight man’ found himself unable to speak, “Forget it, I don’t think you will believe me even if I explain.”

Ji Yushi’s expression was as cold as ever, “Oh? How would you know if you don’t try?”

Those words sounded reasonable.

But the expression on Ji Yushi’s face clearly had the word ‘disbelief’ written on it and there was also a look of warning.

This was completely ridiculous. What should he say to let the Ji Yushi before him believe him?

But, as long as Song Qinglan thought about the current development, Song Qinglan’s heart relaxed.

At least he was able to confirm that Ji Yushi really was in this mission. Even if their cycles were not the same, they could still return to their original time and space together.

Song Qinglan ended the awkward silence. He spoke without any scruples, “I came from the future.”

Ji Yushi’s expression didn’t change.

He waited for him to continue ‘bullshitting’.

“The you you saw just now was also from the future.” Song Qinglan looked a little proud, “We are a couple in the future. That is to say, I not only bent, I also became your boyfriend.”

Ji Yushi: “……..”

Song Qinglan slowly approached him and looked down at him, “Don’t be so distrustful. I’m really your dearest boyfriend. Everyone in Tianqiong knows it. The one and only.”

Ji Yushi: “…….”

Song Qinglan abandoned himself and continued, “In fact, we have already done this mission. The me you see now is actually another me and the you you saw earlier was another you. Because of some special reasons, we were separated and were forced back to this mission to reunite. Perhaps it was because the traversing point was the same, irrespective of before and after, we were misplaced into different cycles in this mission. What you saw just now was the result of becoming too excited after finally reuniting. As the saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder.”

Ji Yushi seemed to finally be shocked. After a period of silence, he asked, “Which future?”

Song Qinglan, “June 25, 1456.”

Ji Yushi: “……..”

Alright, continue making it up.

There was reason and there was evidence. Song Qinglan felt that he was about to believe his words and spoke calmly, “I know it sounds like only a month had passed and it didn’t seem possible for our relationship to have progressed so quickly but it in fact wasn’t like that. You just need to carefully think it over and you will know that I’m speaking the truth. In fact, we’ve actually known each other for a very long—–“

Ji Yushi interrupted him, “Why did we separate?”

Song Qinglan was stuck again.

Looking at the other party’s pale face and clear eyes, he couldn’t tell the Ji Yushi before him the reason why they ‘separated’.

Everything that happened in 1439 was too cruel.

Whether it was for him or for Ji Yushi.

As long as he recalled that scene that day, his heart would hurt so much, he couldn’t even speak.

Ji Yushi waited for him for a few seconds before he lowered his eyes and used his fairly clean hem to clean off the blood splattered onto Diamond Bird.

After doing this silently, he raised his head again. His expression had become even more distant than before, “In other words, you and the other me are from the future and we just happened to fancy each other and become a couple, just happened to be separated and just happened to be ‘sent back’ to this mission that was already completed.”

He paused and asked, “Cap Song, then you must already know which floor the control room is on.”

Song Qinglan was rendered completely speechless.

Even if he knew that the control room was on the 100^th floor, he couldn’t immediately tell the Ji Yushi before him about it.

Tianqiong’s so-called【Overload】referred to the big cycle formed after a larger time anchor was created, just like an extra circle was drawn. Following the completion of this mission, they have to return to the same hijacked point, but the two of them were currently in two different cycles and Ji Yushi would always belong to the next cycle. Even if there was a small paradox, the people of the previous cycle would continue to live while Ji Yushi who belonged to the next cycle would disappear.

Song Qinglan still wasn’t certain how they would be able to return to their original time and space together.

Therefore, this mission couldn’t end yet.

He couldn’t give them the answer yet.

“Can’t say it?” Ji Yushi didn’t seem to be expecting an answer. He just said indifferently, “Clear the mission first.”

When he was done speaking, he turned and walked out.

He seemed to be taking into consideration the current situation and holding back his anger.

With a loud ‘bang’ the door that was pulled open by Ji Yushi bounced off the wall.

The two left the room one after another.

Tang Qi, Tang Le, Li Chun and others were all coming over as well. Their exploration this time was smoother than before. Not only were they not annihilated, but they also lived longer than Song Qinglan remembered and could continue to check on the next floor.

This was because, just as analysed by Ji Yushi before, their point on the circle had been extended.

Song Qinglan looked at the building’s roof.

The top was empty and there were only ropes from the grappler hooks hanging in the air. The new group was nowhere in sight.

He frowned. He seemed to understand the situation a little.

He knew what he should do if he wanted to see the Ji Yushi in the next cycle again.

The Ji Yushi before him was very fierce. He had already fired a number of shots and taken out several zombies.

Seeing him so angry, Song Qinglan felt both lost and amused.

It was only a short difference in time but was the current Ji Yushi that disgusted with the current him?

“Advisor Ji.” He lowly called out.

Ji Yushi stopped in his steps. He probably thought he was going to give him a reasonable explanation or apology.

But unexpectedly, Song Qinglan lowered his voice and seemed to be deliberately trying to anger him, “After thinking about it, I did indeed forcibly kiss you just now. A pity I didn’t have much time.”

Ji Yushi turned around and glared at him.

This time, even if he was reluctantly considering the truthfulness of Song Qinglan’s words, all of that was angrily tossed aside.

Their teammates were approaching them. Gradually, it became a situation where they protected each other’s backs.

“Cap Song, nothing was found on this floor!”

“Let’s go to the next one!”

“Fuck! There are so many zombies down here! I’ll fucking sweep through them first!”

Noticing that the two of them weren’t speaking, Li Chun looked over, “Cap Song, Advisor Ji, how is it for you?!”

The two still didn’t speak.

Everyone turned around and looked over.

They saw their squad’s two core members looking very tense. The atmosphere was strange.

It was Song Qinglan who spoke first. In front of everyone, he said to Ji Yushi, “Advisor Ji, as long as you let me kiss you again, I will even be willing to jump off here and fall to my death.”

Everyone: “????”

What?!

What was this development?!

Ji Yushi was expressionless, “Oh.”

In front of everyone, Advisor Ji proceeded to kick their Cap Song off.

They were all shocked, “Cap Song!!!”

Ji Yushi stood in place and took out his box of medicine.

He took a pill, calmly placed the box back into his pocket and then turned to the others, “Everyone stay vigilant. In a strange place like this, mass hallucinations may occur.”

Everyone: I see!
