Chapter 101 Xia Bai 1

Lin Xiang immediately said, "No, I played the good kid route in the game. I was very obedient. I didn't do anything that might be dangerous, and I didn't go to any place that might be dangerous."

"I didn't look in the mirror either. Mirrors sound dangerous, so I didn't look in the mirror and tried every way to avoid looking in all kinds of mirrors, including mobile phone and TV screens." Hua Haoming said: "The last time I woke up, I saw a new rule saying I could try talking to the person in the mirror, but I didn't have the strength to do it after I dug the hole in the roof."

Ling Changye looked at Song Qiu who had remained silent the whole time and asked directly, "What about you, Song Qiu?"

Song Qiu shook his head.

Xia Bai said: "I saw it."

Several people looked at him.

Xia Bai looked at Ling Changye, "I saw the rules you wrote. You said that I could try to talk to the person in the mirror. I guessed that the mirror could connect souls and people, so I went to the bathroom to check it out."

Hua Haoming was very curious, "What did you see?"

Xia Bai: "The person in the mirror is me, a little younger version of me. I should be playing the role of a little brother who is about the same age as Xiaobai, so I am younger and I am also reading a junior high school textbook."

"If that's the case, I should also be the older brother, a high school older brother, but I read college books." Lin Xiang interrupted with lingering fear.

Xia Bai said: "I feel that starting from the castle story, the study time only needs to be spent on reading textbooks and other study books, because these children do not go to school and the grades are not clearly divided. Xiaobai and his brother were only about ten years old when they started learning junior high school knowledge at home."

Ling Changye nodded and agreed with him. It was difficult to determine the specific school age by just looking at the body, especially below the face.

"Did you talk to him?" Ling Changye asked.

Xia Bai nodded, "What I saw was my childhood self, but the one who spoke to me was indeed the protagonist of this game, Ji Bai."

"He told me that the murderer was a poor lunatic. He was sickly wanting to join the family, and when he mustered up the courage to speak up and his request was rejected, he killed the whole family."

Lin Xiang didn't understand, "If you can't get it, then destroy it?"

Xia Bai shook his head, "Not entirely. He still wanted to join this family. When he killed people, he took a part of each family member, his mother's hair, his brother's skin... He should have taken something from his own body as well and sewn it back into a corpse. In this way, he would join this family and be with them forever after his death."

“…”

They don't quite understand perversion.

Ling Changye said: "He still failed."

Yes, he failed.

After their death, their family members reunited in Xiaobai's body and lived with Xiaobai without him. There are three souls and seven spirits, and there is no place for the eleventh.

Perhaps every time he saw the family living happily together outside the castle, he really wanted to fit in, thinking that he could become a member of their family.

In fact, no, he will never be like that from the beginning to the end. He is not the same kind of person as them because his inner driving force is not love.

Only love can keep them together before and after death.

After saying this, they discussed what they might be among the three souls and seven spirits. Several players died, and they couldn't be completely sure who the three souls and seven spirits were, but they were still curious about who they were.

Xia Bai said: "I am a corpse dog, in layman's terms, I guard the house at night. Every time I wake up, I am very nervous. The corresponding emotion is joy."

Leaving the game, there is a network. Lin Xiang looked at the detailed three souls and seven spirits he searched and said, "I am awake at night. I am a spirit. I am not the queyin that controls reproduction, not the stinky lungs that control breathing, not the Fushi that controls urination, not the corpse dog, not angry or frightened. I should swallow thieves, remove harmful substances, and be timid and worried."

Xia Bai nodded, "I think so too."

As for the other three, they are all souls in the world of the living. Their functions are very deep and they have no corresponding emotions, so it is difficult to guess.

Ling Changye said: "I may be the ghost spirit that determines my sexual orientation among the three souls. My sexual orientation belongs to the minority."

“…”

Although they were talking about factual matters, Lin Xiang still felt that Ling Changye was showing off their affection. He must have been influenced by Yang Mei.

Song Qiu, who had not spoken actively, suddenly spoke up, "Not necessarily."

When Ling Changye asked him what he thought, he stopped talking again.

Hua Haoming said: "Then I am the main soul, the fetal light of the main life?"

Lin Xiang asked: "Why not Shuang Ling?"

Hua Haoming: "That's a person's wisdom. Is my IQ enough?"

Lin Xiang was busy flattering him, "Enough, enough, enough, Brother Hua, don't you know how smart and capable you are?"

The three souls were indeed difficult to determine, so they didn't delve into it and ended the discussion after a while. Hua Haoming took the initiative to say that he would retell the game to the research institute.

After Yang Yi left the institute, it was indeed in chaos for a while. Originally, they had to listen to the players' recounts of each game in person, and it would be best if all the players who had completed the game were present. Now, only one person is needed, and it is also acceptable to write a game report.

After the discussion, Xia Bai received a message from Ling Changye.

:[Song Qiu is You Yue.]

Ling Changye had originally planned to tell them this news as soon as he entered the game. He had a prop to identify disguises, and he could tell who You Yue was as soon as he saw her. Unexpectedly, he had no chance after entering the game.

Xia Bai didn't look at You Yue. When he stood up, he asked You Yue, "Are you in a hurry to leave? Let them prepare a room for you?"

You Yue nodded and said, "Thank you."

"Nothing." Xia Bai saw Ling Changye answering a phone call, turned around to look at him, guessing that he was going back to work on his father's death anniversary, and hurriedly said to You Yue: "Contact me anytime if you have anything. I have something to do and I'll leave first."

After saying that, he pointed at You Yue to Ye Jiuyue and immediately walked towards Ling Changye.

You Yue watched him walk towards Ling Changye's background, the sound of the game system still ringing in her mind.

[You see how ridiculous humans are. ]

[Humans always think of eliminating their own kind first. If there were no laws and power to suppress them, humans would have destroyed themselves long ago. ]

[People who die in the game are caused by humans themselves. 】

【This is the fate of mankind.】

During this period of time, You Yue has heard too many words like this and has become numb. She is numb to the system's words and to humans.

This was due to the system. He was originally numb to humans. But later, a person appeared and touched him.

[Xia Bai went to find Ling Changye. Don’t you like Xia Bai? Why don’t you do something? ]

You Yue's fingers trembled, and her gaze, which had just shifted away, returned to Xia Bai.

[Isn't it? Your feelings towards Xia Bai are complicated, but there must be love in it, right? ]

You Yue followed Ye Jiuyue to the room, and while walking in the corridor, she was still looking at Xia Bai's figure.

He didn't know how many kinds of liking there were, but he knew that he liked Xia Bai. He didn't know what kind of liking this was at first.

He gave his body to Xia Bai, like he loved the body's other owner, and while entrusting it to death, he also felt a little bit like he was relying on his master. Xia Bai saved his life, like he loved his savior.

Xia Bai not only saved his life, but also had a deeper love for him.

He had never thought about following Xia Bai before.

Before entering the game, he saw Xia Bai and Ling Changye holding hands, and heard about their relationship, and he was very angry.

He was so angry that he thought about letting everyone else die in the game, leaving only him and Xia Bai. He was so angry that he thought it would be okay if he and Xia Bai died together.

They said that the murderer of Red Rose Castle was a pervert, but he didn't say anything because he actually understood him a little. The murderer wanted to be with them, and if not alive, then dead.

Only then did he realize that his love for Xia Bai was possessive and that he would get angry too.

[You have killed so many people, what's wrong with one more Ling Changye? As long as you kill him, you can be with Xia Bai. ]

When You Yue turned the corner, she saw Xia Bai's smile.

Xia Bai looked dazed, but when she smiled, it was actually a little sweet, like honey mixed with sunshine.

He pursed his lips and spoke to the system for the first time after leaving Hongqiang Manor, "Don't take my love for Xia Bai as love, I like him more than that. Also, I am with Xia Bai, not to marry him, I am not worthy of him."

He is just like the murderer in Hongqiang Castle, Xia Bai is a member of the castle.

They didn't understand the murderer, he understood him.

He understood how much courage the murderer had to walk up to that family.

He knew how dry the murderer's heart was when he asked the family if he could hug him, and he was begging them to save his life.

They didn't hold him, so he killed them.

But Xia Bai gave him a hug, reached out to hold him, and saved his life, so he couldn't, couldn't, kill them.

[How come you are not worthy of him? You are one of the best players now. This is the era of gaming. It is no longer an era where academic qualifications and economics are important. Besides, you and Xia Bai are both gamers...]

You Yue interrupted it with three words: [You don’t understand. ]

The system seemed to be stuck by the neck and suddenly fell silent.

After a long while, he finally burst out with an obvious emotion, "I understand! I understand humans the best!"

Xia Bai sent Ling Changye to the hotel entrance.

Ling Changye looked at him with a smile in his eyes, "You are famous and have a good reputation. Can I take you away this time?"

Xia Bai blinked, "I would be embarrassed to meet my parents and family on the day we confirm our relationship."

Ling Changye stared at the hand he was holding, "Are you still embarrassed?"

Xia Bai still held his hand and didn't let go, "I didn't know I liked holding hands so much. I held hands for a while before entering the game, and I've always wanted to hold the captain's hand."

Ling Changye: “…”

It was my first time in love, and hearing words like that was a bit overwhelming.

He also didn't expect that this silly and dirty boy, who was so straightforward, could act like a spoiled child.

Xia Bai: "If it wasn't for my uncle's death anniversary, I really wanted the captain to take me away."

Ling Changye asked: "Where are you taking him?"

Xia Bai: "You can go anywhere, even wander around."

Ling Changye admitted defeat and reached out to hug Xia Bai who was looking at him eagerly.

Xia Bai exhaled in his arms and smelled the scent that belonged to Ling Changye, a scent that was not unfamiliar to him. "Captain, I'm starting to like hugs again."

Ling Changye touched Xia Bai's curly hair tenderly and contentedly, then held his other hand, "What a coincidence, I like it too."

"I bet a talisman that they have been secretly in love for a long time. This is definitely not the case of them just confirming their relationship." Hua Haoming said while taking pictures behind the door.

Lin Xiang followed up, "I bet one million, how could they hold hands and hug each other right after they confirmed their relationship? Xia Bai is so innocent, it's impossible."

Hua Haoming turned to look at him, "Just one million? A corpse-suppressing talisman is less than one million?"

"Ah? One million? I saw Xia Bai just gave me a few and thought they were not that valuable." Lin Xiang said in confusion.

Hua Haoming: "...He just gave it to you for free?"

"Wait a minute." Jing Yan interrupted them, "You all have corpse-suppressing talismans? Is it Xia Bai's awesome corpse-suppressing talisman?"

“…”

Lin Xiang quickly said, "Take a look at what they really think."

"How can I read the captain and Xia Bai's true feelings for no reason?" Jing Yan said, "Xia Bai's true feelings are that he likes the captain very much, and the captain's true feelings are that he wants to take Xia Bai to the ends of the earth."

“…”

Hua Haoming: "The sour smell of love."

Lin Xiang: "It takes a long time for the sour smell to develop."

Jing Yan: "Stop talking, stop talking, Xia Bai is coming!"

Hua Haoming: "Why are you so nervous? We should ask him why he is hiding his relationship from us."

Lin Xiang: "Yes, yes, yes. I also want to ask when they started dating and why Xia Bai likes Captain Ling."

Unfortunately, Xia Bai didn't give them a chance. When he passed by, he looked at them blankly, frowned slightly, and left.

Three people: “?”

Why is he frowning!

Hua Haoming immediately sent the photo of the two hugging to Yang Mei, thinking that Yang Mei would turn into a screaming chicken, but he didn't expect Yang Mei to not reply to him.

Hua Haoming: [? ]

Hua Haoming: [The photo was not sent? Didn’t you see these two hugging each other?]

Yang Mei replied calmly and indifferently: [I see.]

Hua Haoming became even more certain that the two had been together for a long time, and Yang Mei knew it.

At the same time, Xia Bai received a call from Screaming Chicken Yang Mei, "Ahhh, you are with the captain! I knew you were not innocent!"

"When did you two get together? You both hugged each other! And the body shapes and height difference!"

"Did you guys do it? How was it? I'll be there soon, brother, you must tell me everything!"

Xia Bai hung up the phone expressionlessly.

People whose minds are full of love have a bitter mind and don’t know how good it is to hold hands and hug.

As soon as Xia Bai walked out of the door, Erwa ran out with his hands stretched out, carrying a trail of small white petals.

Looking at his cute and clingy appearance, Xia Bai felt that Erwa was the most considerate person in the assault team. He reached out and picked up Erwa, and saw that the flower on Erwa's ear was actually covered with a layer of pink.

Before he asked, Erwa held up his phone and handed it to him.

Xia Bai thought there was some important message in his phone, but when he looked at it, he found that it was a photo of him and the captain hugging in the assault team group.

Xia Bai: “…”

He immediately flipped through Erwa's phone and found the one sent by Hua Haoming. Then he saw that Ling Changye had sent a red envelope, and Erwa snatched it, grabbing more than 10,000 yuan.

Xia Bai: “…”

He put his second child down, went to Song Lu to collect his salary, and also sent a red envelope in the group.

Xia Bai smiled with his eyes narrowed. He also liked to be public and wanted to be blessed.

Another group of people came out to grab the red envelopes and say congratulations.

[Congratulations to the captain for finally getting rid of being single.]

[Congratulations to Xia Bai for finding love at an early age.]

[I wish the captain and Xia Bai a happy early marriage.]

[I wish the captain and Xia Bai to get a child-bearing item in the game.]

Xia Bai: “…”

He scratched his chin, frowned for a moment, and finally laughed again.

It is impossible to have a child, but we can secretly pretend that the second baby is born by the captain.

He thought of his sister Xuemu, who had worked hard in this game, and hurriedly called her out.

As soon as Erwa saw sister Xuemu, he came over, sniffed her, and looked confused.

Xia Bai told Erwa about how Xue Mu performed in the game. Erwa felt very uncomfortable and said, "Me, take me with you. I can do it."

He grew branches just to braid sister Xuemu's hair. How could he let sister Xuemu do this? He would rather use the branches to beat them away.

While feeding blood to sister Xue Mu, he said, "Protect, protect my sister."

Sister Xue Mu drank some of his blood and seemed to come back to life. "You can't just talk without doing anything."

Erwa immediately raised his hand and promised, "Do it, do it."

Xia Bai: “…”

He also didn't expect that the Game Management Bureau had tried every possible way to get Erwa to use his skills, but Sister Xuemu did it so easily.

I don’t know what kind of brain Erwa has, but he seems to have no future.

Once the two of them are together, Xia won't have to worry about anything.

Everyone in the assault team thought that it was hard for him to take care of the baby. In fact, not only did he not need to take care of the second baby, he could also take care of his younger sister Xuemu.

Xia Bai saw that he had changed another beautiful coffee cup for Sister Xue Mu. This coffee cup was obviously custom-made, and there were his little white flowers and green buds on it.

His sister-con is obvious.

After putting sister Xue Mu into the coffee cup, he hugged his sister and started to open little white flowers.

Xia Bai only needs to lie on the bed and give some guidance occasionally, "Don't just open the little white flowers, aren't you supposed to protect sister Xue Mu? Grow long branches."

Under the watchful eye of his sister Xuemu, Erwa began to work hard to grow roots and long strips.

Sister Xue Mu told him the story behind the Red Rose Castle in a soft voice. Maybe Erwa felt threatened and burdened, but his branches grew faster and longer, and had already climbed up the wall outside.

Xia Bai lay more comfortably.

He turned over in bed and couldn't help but think about the captain. He wondered what he was doing, was he busy with the anniversary of his death?

Ling Changye doesn't actually need to be busy with matters related to the anniversary of the death, but he is indeed busy at this moment.

As soon as he got in the car and couldn't see Xia Bai, he started making phone calls all the way.

When he arrived at his residence, one of the earliest people was already waiting for him there, "Master Ling."

Ling Changye took him into the study and said, "Tell me everything you know about Hongqiang Manor. The more detailed the better, starting from its earliest history."

"The earliest history." The man pushed his glasses. "There was only a small village in the Shangyi Lake area where Hongqiang Manor is located. The Jiang family bought this piece of land five years ago and planned to build a high-end villa area that integrates health care, vacation and living. Hongqiang Manor was originally a demonstration manor built by the Jiang family. They planned to live in it themselves. Later, the Jiang family had problems with its capital chain, and the manor that was being renovated was also stopped."

"Of course, the suspension of construction on this manor is also related to the death of someone during the renovation of the manor. Otherwise, even if the Jiang family had financial problems, they would still be able to complete the renovation."

The people who died during the renovation were the ones who were drawn into the game.

Ling Changye asked: "The manor has no predecessor?"

The man shook his head. "No, it was just an empty lot before the manor was built, on the edge of the original village."

Ling Changye continued to ask: "What about that village? How is the economic situation? Are there any children's welfare homes, villas, small Western-style buildings, etc. around? Have there been any murders?"

The man thought Ling Changye's question was a bit strange, but he didn't say much or ask any more questions. He answered Ling Changye's question seriously, "That village was very poor, so the demolition went smoothly at the time. There was no children's welfare home. There were only bungalows, not even two-story buildings. The Jiang family didn't choose this piece of land very well. The location is a bit remote. The only advantage is that the ecological environment is good."

"As for the murder, I haven't heard of it either."

Ling Changye rested his forehead on his clasped hands and uttered a low "hmm".

He was not disappointed that he did not hear anything unusual at Hongqiang Manor. He guessed that there should have been no murder cases in this place, otherwise it would not have been chosen by the Jiang family as their residence.

But what he wanted to investigate was too important, and he couldn't miss any place.

In the game, when he saw the situation in the attic, he thought of Xia Bai.

The sight of his family members’ bodies being stitched up and well preserved was enough to make him think of Xia Bai.

It is said that people have a sixth sense, and if one really has one, his must be particularly strong.

His intuition has been very accurate and sharp since he was a child, a kind of intuition that cannot be explained to others. For example, in the first year after his father disappeared, everyone thought that his father was dead, but he insisted that his father was not dead. When others asked him why he was so persistent, he couldn't explain it clearly.

Xia Bai couldn't accept his grandfather's death and kept his grandfather's body. Not wanting to be alone, he treated the God of Joy as a family member and wrote him into the family tree.

He could imagine Xia Bai opening the coffin from time to time and being with the gods of joy.

He could also imagine the boy in the castle, reassembling and sewing up the chopped-to-pieces and stitched-together bodies of his family members, and sitting with them in the attic.

At that time, he was wondering whether this person had any relationship with Xia Bai, and he thought of talking to the person in the mirror to find clues.

This feeling became even stronger when I learned that the boy's name was Xiaobai.

When he heard Xia Bai say that he saw a smaller version of himself in the mirror, he was almost certain that this game had something to do with Xia Bai.

But Xia Bai has no memory before the age of twelve, and has no parents. It's too much of a coincidence.

Many players know that games with ordinary maps are adapted from reality, and some characters in the game can be found in reality.

Regardless of whether he was overthinking it or not, he had to get to the bottom of this matter.

While thinking about this, the people Ling Changye had called arrived one after another. There were people from the Ling family, people from the company, and people from various departments of the Tourism Administration.

"I asked everyone to come here because I have something to ask of you." Ling Changye said, "Please help me check a person named Ji Bai. He may be related to a murder. This murder may have been reported, or it may have been suppressed for some reason."

Ling Changye thought about it and added some more information, "When the murder happened, he was probably around ten years old. Now he may be around nineteen years old, but I'm not sure about that."

Everyone in the room responded immediately, and some even took out their laptops and cell phones to check on the spot.

A person from the Information Department asked, "Captain Ling, do you have a photo? If you do, I can directly scan and search in the Information Department system. This system is connected to the systems of many departments. As long as there is an identity record and a criminal record, I can find it."

Ling Changye asked: "Can I delete the search record?"

"Yes, don't worry, no one will find out."

Ling Changye took several seconds before sending him a photo.
