Everyone knows that people around the protagonist are generally not ordinary passers-by. But Bai Bei is an exception. As the protagonist's older brother, he is just an out-of-place background c...
Chapter 9 The Second World (2) This is what others see as “Fei”…
Bai Bei has indeed done so in the past few days.
In fact, he thought that since Shi Yu was the protagonist, even if he didn't interfere much, he would probably remember it himself, and then it would be Su Yang and Wen Ting's turn to talk.
So he opened the game panel, used a prop, and reproduced some real scenes and stuffed them into the dreams of several people.
After he finished the game, his account was still there, and the panel remained in the state of that period, just like most games will not cancel the account of players who have completed the entire storyline, and the same is true for ghost story games.
Bai Bei performed his duties conscientiously and acted as a competent model. While having fun, he did not forget to let the system broadcast the situation on the other side. Anyway, as long as he did not die, no matter how long he stayed in this field, the time in the outside world would not change.
Moreover, the U organization cannot come in to interfere. Anyone who enters the "Mirror Shadow" will lose their original memory, without exception. Bai Bei avoided this because the rules were invalidated.
"Xiaoyu, did you feel anything?" Bai Bei flipped through the magazine with interest. The protagonist inside had a good-looking face, but unfortunately, he couldn't quite appreciate it. He changed the subject and commented, "This dress is so ugly! I really can't understand this style."
[60% feeling, I'm almost remembering it, I'm almost remembering it, your method actually works.] The system then looked at the magazine, and its electronic eyes were irritated. [It's quite ugly.]
Bai Bei sometimes asked the system, sometimes read the barrage. He waited leisurely for a few days, and finally one day when the barrage was unusually active, he knew that things were almost progressing.
[Oh my, you guys finally remembered... I was so anxious!]
【It’s coming! The much-anticipated Battle Royale segment!!】
[I love watching this kind of thing! Can it be so cool? Can it be so cool?]
Bai Bei closed his eyes lazily, as if he didn't notice the strange phenomenon of the wallpaper around him suddenly falling off. He also didn't know that the person in front of him was constantly shedding blood clots, and that person's arm even fell directly to the ground.
He squatted down to pick it up and calmly tried to reconnect "Chen Que".
But failed.
Bai Bei sighed regretfully. He raised his hand to shield Chen Que's eyes from tears of blood. "How strange! I've never seen you look so miserable in a dungeon before."
He didn't want to see an imitation turning into a monster with the shell of his friend, so Bai Bei's fingertips moved and finally brushed the end of "Chen Que's" eyes, as if covering it with a darker color, and just wiped out the figure of "Chen Que".
The sky outside the window darkened completely, and the darkness enveloped the world tightly. This time, it did not bring any tranquility and peace. Anxiety and fear spread in my heart.
Bai Bei walked out of the room slowly, "Where are they?"
[In the restaurant on the fifth floor of World City.] The system watched with fascination as the protagonists slew monsters and fled. The scene was as exciting as an action movie. [They're coming for you.]
"I'm not here. I fell asleep." Bo Bei stood in the corridor. He could feel the gazes, a kind of fanatical hunger that wanted to devour him alive, bones and all. He opened the game panel again. "Do you think this appearance would be a bit conspicuous?"
System: [It's okay. You didn't think it was a big deal in the game before, but now you think it's deliberate?]
"That's in a dungeon after all. Even if a tough guy wears a maid outfit, no one will pay much attention."
He will eventually have to act under the identity of "Fei", and the same will apply after he goes out. Here, he can use his new appearance to save "Bai Bei", so that Shi Yu and others will subconsciously distinguish "Fei" from him in their hearts.
As early as in the ghost story game, Bo Bei had a fixed external image that had changed. In order to cover up the changes in his eyes when using his ability, he directly adjusted the color of his irises to dark blue.
He also has dark brown hair, and his facial features are very deep, giving off a mixed-race vibe. The difference from his original appearance is even more obvious, revealing an aggressive handsomeness that is unforgettable at first sight.
This is how "Fei" looks in the eyes of others.
Of course, the Operations Department could not find any information about "Fei" because he did not exist in the first place. The "Fei" they heard about was just a false image that Bai Bei used to cover up himself.
And now he has Fei's appearance.
"Let me make it clear, I can't leave for too long." The system looked at his pocket with disdain. Inside was a puppet prop. To be honest, it really didn't want to attach itself to it. "And I can't guarantee they won't find out."
"Just pretend to be unconscious."
Bai Bei, or perhaps Fei, took a black mask from the props bar and put it on, revealing only a pair of dark blue eyes with a light gray-blue outer ring around the iris. "Otherwise, if Xiaoyu touches it and there's no heartbeat or pulse, that would be a really bad thing."
[…I’m afraid I won’t be able to help but open my eyes.]
"But I believe in you." Fei's voice was low and elegant, like plucking classical string music. When it was guiding, every word was given an increasingly charming rhythm. "You won't let me down, right?"
The system froze, and it stumbled back, "I'll try my best."
Fei was finally satisfied. He stepped across the damp, cold ground. Shadows surged beneath his feet like a tide, eventually shattering into pieces. He dispatched countless attacking monsters, then raised his eyes and said, "Show the way. I need to find them first before I can bring them back."
—
I'm so unlucky today.
Shi Yu made various explicit and implicit hints, and finally his companion was about to recover his memory. However, he was so good at choosing the right time that he remembered everything while eating. He could only watch the delicious food on the table begin to rot and stink.
This is awful. Shi Yu, feeling a little nauseous, closed his eyes in disbelief.
And now it was obvious that they had become food. The twisted "customers" in the restaurant were eager to bite off a piece of meat from them, roaring and rushing over.
"What are you two doing?! Run!"
Su Yang reacted earlier. She overturned the table and pushed the "customer" in front of her to the ground. This barely bought her a little time to escape. She grabbed the knife and fork on the table and swung it. The monster's throat was pierced and its body became stiff.
The spider-like flexible silk thread was wrapped around the smooth knife, continuously extending. After being pulled back, it pierced through the nearby monster. Su Yang decisively let go of the silk thread, turned around and left the restaurant with his companions.
There were also endless monsters outside. Shi Yu thought that if this was a mirror world, the rules of ghost stories would most likely be related to mirrors. For example, there would be a gap when touching the mirror with your fingers, but the premise was that the fingers were from the outside, and they were located inside the mirror.
Do you want to gamble? But the price is too high. If you are not careful, you will die.
Moreover, there is a more urgent problem facing them now. What should they do with Bai Bei? The location where he is filming is more than ten kilometers away from World City, and it will take about half an hour to take a taxi.
There was no signal on the cell phone and he couldn't make any calls. Shi Yu was so anxious that he couldn't take care of the present. His mind was full of thoughts about whether something had happened to Bai Bei.
"Shi Yu, wake up!" Wen Tingxu saw that he looked restless and knew that if they didn't take care of it, they would most likely die here. "Brother hasn't remembered yet and he shouldn't be affected. The only way to save him is to leave here as soon as possible!"
His words had some effect, calming Shi Yu down considerably. Su Yang felt relieved upon seeing this. She consulted her companions, "The place where this mirror appeared is very likely the breaking point. Should we go for a long tour?"
Jiuyou Snack Street and World City are both near University A, only a dozen minutes' walk away.
Several people set off quickly and temporarily set their target on Jiuyou. They arrived at their destination safely, but they did not find the life-size mirror after arriving. They searched the entire snack street but the mirror was nowhere to be found.
Crack, crack! The sound of shattering glass suddenly rang out. Cracks appeared on every monster within sight until they completely disintegrated. The ground was immediately covered with flesh and blood, made of glass, its sharp edges reflecting a silvery white luster.
Something was wrong, Shi Yu involuntarily stepped back. He and Wen Tingxu looked at each other at the same time. The other party immediately understood what he meant and protected Su Yang away, while he took a step forward, bent down and picked up one of the pieces.
Shi Yu used his ability to trace it back, and the glass in his palm gradually changed, and finally stopped at the shape of a mirror. It was very small and it was no problem to carry it with him.
A flash of inspiration flashed through his mind, and he raised the mirror. What was reflected in the mirror was the real scene, which was completely different from the devastation here.
"You can use the mirror to see outside! We have to find the mirror that pulled us in!" Shi Yu raised his voice to inform his friend. He was about to trace back another piece of glass and flesh when something on the ground began to move.
The glass melted into a sticky black fluid, giving birth to countless monsters. The dark liquid continued to drip from their huge bodies, corroding the floor tiles. The skeletal chest cavity opened, revealing bloody mouthparts.
"Shi Yu!" Wen Tingxu grabbed his arm and pulled him back. Su Yang, who was in charge of providing cover, drew out a silk thread and wrapped it around the monster's body. Before she could tighten it, it was corroded by the liquid on the surface. She dodged the swarming monsters, "Be careful not to get touched by them!"
But the number of monsters is too large, they can't hold on for too long, and the longer the time drags on, the stronger the monsters in the area will be. They must find a way to leave as soon as possible!
“I found it!”
Shi Yu followed the route in his memory to the scene of the incident. He pointed the mirror in his hand at that place and saw the full-length mirror. The black cloth covered it so tightly that not even a corner was exposed. It was so tight that it made people grit their teeth.
Why is this cloth covering it again? Shi Yu collapsed, and soon he vaguely felt something pulling his thigh. He barely pulled his thoughts away, looked down and saw the bony hands grabbing his pants and climbing up, and almost fainted on the spot.
...Where did this thing come from? !
Bony hands continuously emerged from the soil beneath his feet, like a never-ending nightmare, piling up on his body until they covered his shoulders and neck, burying all cries for help and leaving only a pair of hopeless eyes.
Before being completely trapped by these bony hands, Shi Yu tried his best to throw the mirror away.
The mirror fell to the ground with a clang, but it did not break. It remained intact and fell right in front of a pair of black boots.
A hand picked up the mirror.
It was clearly the hand of an adult male, with long, slender knuckles. Every curve that traced the bones was exceptionally beautiful and detailed, flawless like a work of art. Pale blue veins snaked beneath the cold, pale skin, like white jade imbued with vibrant vitality.
Shi Yu looked over, but because of the distance, he could only see half of the man's unclear profile and his sapphire-like eyes.
But what was more eye-catching was the person in his other hand who was in a coma. The moment Shi Yu saw the man's face clearly, his pupils suddenly shrank and his voice was panicked and unstable: "Brother?!"
Bai Bei seemed to have fainted, but fortunately, there were no injuries on his body, not even a speck of blood or black liquid. Shi Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
[Ahhhhhhhh Xiaoyu, don't worry yet, the boss is about to go big! !]
[My precious baby! Stinky mirror, please don’t hurt my baby! Mommy is going to rush into another world to save people! ]
[Although it was scary, the scene where all the bony hands were clinging to Xiaoyu just now had a weird and astringent feeling orz]
[Oh my goodness! I was wondering how Yangmei and Xiaoyu, one a main attacker and the other a roamer, would save the situation with only Wen Ge, a psychic with little attack power, left? And then... what a surprise! Is this a new character?!]
[The new character looks a bit handsome. Can you please turn around and show your face? The close-up of his hands makes me dizzy.]
[Okay, okay, no one cares about my unconscious brother, then let’s steal him away first (quickly leave)]
Originally, the barrage was in a panic, passionately discussing how to crack this wave. Could it be that the old thief really went crazy and planned to make the sequel the same be as the prequel, and finally achieve the achievement of double alienation world collapse, or arrange other characters to rescue people.
It was under such circumstances that Fei came into play.
Although I don’t know the strength of the new character, the barrage has already made me feel relieved.
[I bet 50 cents, he is definitely a high-powered boss]
[Maybe it's a highly intelligent character! Forget it, old bastard, just draw it! Remember to draw the face first, I want to see it ()]
[Why are you guessing it's a new character? Maybe it's Fei. After all, Fei has never officially appeared. This is a good opportunity!]
[It could also be Fei... But I already have a filter for Fei orz I feel that Lao Zei will arrange a cooler debut for our number one. Is it okay to say that A-rank is a little unqualified?]
[Both Fei and the new characters are delicious. I'm not saying that the hero saving the beauty may be tacky but it's delicious.]
[What, is our brother that beautiful? That makes sense.]
Fei accidentally glanced at the barrage: ...?
Let me see what's going on?
