Chapter 86 The End of the Story (1) Without any price or demand...

In the empty white space, except for the area around Yan where different objects were placed, everything else was the same pure white, so clean that it was almost pathological. She lowered her eyes, and her long black hair was scattered behind her, not even reaching her waist.

Fei Yu pulled out a chair at the other end of the tea table, and he sat down. Without further delay, he got straight to the point: "You know why I'm here."

The owner of the pure white space just stared at him quietly, as if quietly waiting for what was to come.

"Can you replace the world consciousness?" Fei Yu held the teacup, his slender fingers covering the cup, tapping it slowly again and again. He knew that such a request was nothing to her, but it did not mean that she would agree to it.

Yan shook her head slightly and sighed, "I can't get involved in these things."

"In your understanding, I should now be part of the world of ghost stories. I must exist as an absolutely neutral entity and cannot take sides."

"But I will answer all your questions. Don't you have something else you want to know?" Yan could only do this much. She calmly put down the cup in her hand. She knew that he would still ask about things related to consciousness.

Whether looking back to the past before the incident or the present when integration is delayed, she has always been paying attention to this child who was once related to her when they were in human society.

"If I become the new consciousness of the world of ghost stories, the time I spend in reality should be limited, right?" If Fei Yu really replaced the world's consciousness incarnation, then of course he couldn't stay in reality as before.

But you only need to come back every few days.

"Yes, but for you, such restrictions are dispensable. What does it matter?" Yan said nonchalantly. She didn't care who the consciousness of the world of ghost stories was.

After all, whether Fei Yu can do it or not will not affect her.

"Overall, the restrictions placed on you are negligible. They're even less significant than repairing the damage to the barrier. That's quite a bargain, isn't it?"

A faint smile played on Yan's lips, a gentleness confined to the surface so obvious that it was easy to see through without much effort. Feiyu spoke, but not in response to her inquiry that didn't quite sound like a question: "You chose to stand in the middle simply because I don't intend to destroy that world."

Fei Yu stared at the person in front of him and continued, "If I were to try to destroy the world of Kaidan, I'm afraid I wouldn't even meet you, and you wouldn't maintain your so-called neutral attitude."

She would stand in opposition to it.

"But you didn't do that, and that's the best outcome." Yan continued to smile calmly, unaffected by anything, without even a hint of unnecessary change. "Why bother with an option that doesn't exist?"

Fei Yu couldn't do that. Even if they didn't die because of the demise of the world of ghost stories, they would still suffer irreparable damage.

"I'm just confused."

Fei Yu really didn't understand, but now he had guessed more. He lowered his eyes and suppressed unnecessary emotions, "You were the one who brought it to me, right?"

What he was referring to was, of course, the system whose appearance was quite coincidental.

Novi had told him before that it came from an emotion that did not belong to the world of strange stories. There were almost no other disruptive factors in this direction, and this possibility only existed in her.

Feiyu asked hesitantly, "Have you separated your original emotions?"

Yan didn't react much. She just gave a positive answer: "That was my previous thought. Now I feel the same doubt as you."

"After assimilating into this world, I will no longer possess anything human, including death and emotions... But originally, I really wanted you to be an ordinary child, even though such a wish is impossible in the world of kaidan."

"So I stripped myself of my emotions." Yan shifted her gaze, as if gazing at a reality so far away that it could never be reached, or perhaps it was her past. "It exists for you."

Unfortunately, Fei Yu didn't need it from the beginning. He had emotions, but they were very faint, so faint that they only occupied a small amount of space and couldn't even attract his attention.

The separated emotional side formed an independent individual. With nowhere to stay, it was finally taken care of by Novi from the Surveillance Bureau. After going around in circles, it finally came to Fei Yu.

Yan, who had already integrated into the place, could no longer empathize with her self who was filled with love. She simply repeated the thoughts that had previously surfaced in her mind, turning them into emotionless sentences: "I hope you can experience the world normally."

"But something unexpected happened, and it seems you're no longer needed." There wasn't even a hint of regret in Yan's tone; she was just stating it.

Feiyu didn't reply. Yan picked up the teacup and took a sip. Her gaze fell on the clear water and she asked him, "Is it because of that child?"

When he heard the topic involving Shi Yu, Fei Yu's expression finally changed slightly. He looked up at her and finally nodded.

Yan was not surprised at all. Ever since she knew that Bo Bei helped that human to return to the timeline of reality, she understood that Shi Yu was a special existence to him, and that the key was created for him in the beginning.

There is no price or request.

"I want to try to change the rules here." Fei Yu didn't want to talk more about this, so he changed the subject. "After all, ghost story games are also one of the essential rules of this world."

Feiyu didn't go into too much detail, but Yan anticipated what was to come. She continued, her tone strangely similar to his. "Do you want to remove the death part of the ghost story game?"

"The game can't be closed. This time it's temporarily stopped because of the fusion of the two worlds. If everything goes well, everything will end completely, but the ghost story game will continue as usual. Maybe one day Shi Yu will be dragged into it as well."

Under Fei Yu's care, Shi Yu would certainly not die, but human behavior could not be completely constrained and predicted. He could not guarantee that if he wanted to rescue other players, he would not encounter any accidents in the process.

Fei Yu must cut off this factor of change that may lead to Shi Yu's death.

Yan just chuckled. She didn't say she would stop it, nor did she intend to support it. She said ambiguously, "If you want to do this, then go ahead and try it."

When Fei Yu heard this, he looked at her. Without saying much, he stood up and walked in the direction he came from, leaving this space paved with pure white.

He returned to the building.

"Did you get the key?" Novi heard what the system said. He knew without hesitation what Feiyu would do after retrieving the key. "You just came back from there, right?"

Fei Yu still held the key in his hand. It was much more convenient for him to move now. He didn't even need to mobilize his abilities. He just had to imagine the direction in his mind and then turn the key.

Even if it's another world.

Feiyu raised her eyes and looked at Novi. He avoided answering the question, just smiled, and then slowly said: "We have to speed up the progress."

Novi smiled with interest: "Of course, everything will be coordinated."

"You continue to control the newly arrived ghost stories. I'm going to the operations department headquarters." Fei Yu planned to find Xie Jianshan. The executive department was responsible for containment. He was the person who knew the location of those ghost stories and the scope of their scope best.

When Fei Yu found the person, Xie Jianshan happened to be in a high-risk ghost story area.

"...Why are you here?" The timing of Fei Yu's appearance was simply too coincidental. Xie Jianshan naturally didn't believe that he came here by coincidence. His keen intuition instantly caught that something was wrong.

Xie Jianshan asked hesitantly, "You're not planning to take me back to the base and have me cover all the ghost stories for you, are you?"

Fei Yu still had the leisure to tease: "You guessed it right. It seems that you are ready to help me?"

"...It's not possible at the moment. Even if I tell you, the sudden disappearance of a large number of strange stories will definitely be discovered by the higher-ups. I have to apply in advance." Xie Jianshan frowned.

"It's okay. I'll explain the situation to you, and you won't be held accountable." Feiyu said this gently, but Xie Jianshan knew the higher-ups wouldn't have the chance to put pressure on him, and that doing so would even risk his life. "How's it going?"

Xie Jianshan wanted to say that it was not very good, but Fei Yu seemed to have guessed what he was thinking. He took out the key and shaped the sunken wall into the shape of a door. Then he did not give him a chance to refuse and pulled him directly into the door.

When Xie Jianshan came to his senses, he found that the surrounding scene was extremely familiar. It seemed to be the branch base in the next city. He suddenly remembered that Fei Yu did not specify which place the contained ghost story was from.

...It seems that he wants more than just the ghost stories in City A.

Rather, it refers to all the strange stories that have been contained by the Operations Department.

Xie Jianshan felt like he'd been tricked. He figured since the sky had already fallen, he might as well think of something better. "You're going to put that method into practice now? I think it's worth a try, but are you sure there won't be any other unexpected consequences?"

"I'm not sure." Feiyu turned her head and looked at him while motioning him to lead the way. "So I plan to hurry up to avoid any complications."

Xie Jianshan thought for a moment, and finally walked forward resignedly, taking Fei Yu to the shelter building for high-risk ghost stories.

High-risk ghost stories are not contained in the same space as other ghost stories. The consciousness bodies are contained in a separate building. The internal facilities and guards are different, and the alert factor has obviously increased by several indexes.

Xie Jianshan showed his ID, but he still needed to go through other tests to enter the building. The person on the other side did not ask why the people from headquarters suddenly came over. Instead, he looked at Fei Yu and said, "Unauthorized members are prohibited from entering here."

Fei Yu raised her eyes, the blue-black lines on her irises were particularly strange and beautiful, as if she was going to drag people into it. The guard's eyes became a little distracted, and he involuntarily gave way, looking like he was being completely controlled.

Seeing that his expression was off, Xie Jianshan was so frightened that he quickly patted the man's shoulder, increasing the pressure until he regained consciousness. Then he said seriously, "Who said he was human? This is the consciousness of a high-risk ghost story! Let us in and contain him!"

Xie Jianshan used all his acting skills to avoid laughing. After he finished speaking, he turned his head and his serious expression immediately broke. He blinked desperately to hint to Fei Yu to cooperate with him.

Fei Yu didn't expect him to do this, and she had no intention of ruining the show. It would be more convenient to enter as the consciousness of a high-risk ghost story.

In this way, he would be in direct contact with those conscious entities.
