[10. Bei Chen: Known as Little Lanling, he excels in both acting and music. Despite his current disfigurement, he still possesses limitless potential for the future.]

Bei Chen was ranked tenth on this list.

The description of Bei Chen was only a few sentences long, but Lu Jiuning gleaned a great deal of information from it.

First, the fact that the system includes it suggests that it may reappear in the public eye in the future, rather than simply fading into obscurity after its fall from grace.

Secondly, all nine individuals mentioned above have extremely powerful backgrounds. The information provided by the system is entirely focused on their connections and connections.

This means their actual strength will be greatly reduced. Without these connections, they might be nothing at all.

The only information about Bei Chen is that he excels in both acting and music.

In other words, this person got to where he is today through his own outstanding abilities.

Third, Lu Jiuning only has five million in funds.

Aside from Bei Chen, the aforementioned individuals would probably have no interest in such a small amount of money.

All things considered, Beichen seemed to be the most suitable partner at the beginning.

Using his own father as an excuse was merely to put Bei Chen at ease.

To this end, Lu Jiuning asked some friends to conduct an in-depth investigation into Bei Chen's past.

Thus, the saying "carefully selected" came about...

In retrospect, Lu Jiuning's decision was correct.

Bei Chen is indeed a surprising and delightful character.

Even if he can't show his face, he can still stir up trouble with music and cocktails...

"By the way, there are some things I need to tell you. I need to go into seclusion for a few days!"

This is the result of Bei Chen's careful consideration.

"Seclusion?" Lu Jiuning was clearly taken aback. Did people still use that word these days?

This isn't some ancient martial arts retreat!

"Oh, is it because of the new song?"

Bei Chen stood by the window, watching the passersby, and said in a deep voice, "That's right, there's something we have to do. If we do it well, it will make this song even more perfect."

So, I'm leaving the bar in your care for the next few days.

Lu Jiuning breathed a sigh of relief. He thought he was going to go into seclusion for half a year or a year. It was just a few days. It was no big deal!

"It's alright, you go ahead and do your thing!"

"good!"

...

After leaving the bar, Bei Chen went straight to his rented room.

From the initial luxury villas, to the later luxury suites, to three-bedroom apartments, and now to one-bedroom apartments.

The room contained many items, yet they were arranged neatly.

The most eye-catching item is the pipa with white clouds and green mountains in the living room.

Image from Xiaohongshu [Fange Pipa]

"Dense bamboo cannot stop the flowing water, and high mountains cannot hinder the white clouds from flying!"

This is the original owner's favorite Zen poem.

It implies that no matter how high the mountain is, it cannot hinder the progress of a talented person.

Therefore, he cherished this pipa.

The original owner was a person with a broad mind.

Unfortunately, the disfigurement ruined his life.

Besides the pipa, there is also a chubby orange cat in the room named Fourth Master, who is extremely lazy.

Small animals can be helpful for people with depression.

The original owner kept Fourth Master as a pet to distract herself and alleviate her depression.

Clearly, he did not succeed in the end.

After feeding Fourth Master some food, Bei Chen went to the bed and sat cross-legged.

While phenomenal songs are impressive, they also represent a high level of difficulty.

Bei Chen doesn't understand people with depression, so it's difficult for him to get into the song he's about to practice.

It would be a waste not to sing it well.

The original owner had a history of depression, so as long as he incorporated that experience, this song should not be difficult for him to control.

In a corner of his mind, Bei Chen found memories that had not been fully integrated.

Those are the memories of the original owner.

Depression!

I'm not reconciled!

Violence!

...

A mix of emotions was present.

What would be the consequences if these memories were fully absorbed?

At this moment, he hesitated!

"If we don't go inside, how can we sing this song well, and how can we use this song to boost the bar's popularity?"

When will the scars on my face heal?

If it's not restored, the original owner's memories will continue to affect you.

The cycle never ends!

If that's the case, then let's open ourselves up and become spectators!

Bei Chen stopped suppressing himself and let the original owner's memories flood in.

In that instant, he didn't feel sadness or grief, but rather an inability to breathe.

At this moment, he felt as if he were sinking at the bottom of the ocean, with nothing around him to grab onto.

So this is what despair feels like for people who are depressed.

They had already done everything they could to survive.

Then, the scene suddenly changed.

Bei Chen arrived at a crossroads. There were no cars, no colors, only black and white, and a dense crowd of people.

Their faces were indistinct; they appeared to be composed of a mass of black lines.

I could clearly hear what they were saying, but it was so noisy that my ears felt like they were going to explode.

Even more terrifying, the lines of the face grew longer and longer before crashing down on him.

Gradually, Beichen was submerged, and even the last bit of white could not be seen.

When the light returned, Bei Chen had already arrived at the third scene.

The place was shrouded in a hazy gray, like a world filled with the smoke of cigarettes. No matter how he waved his hand, he couldn't dispel the suffocating gas around him.

Suddenly, the floor cracked open, and he felt as if he had entered a bottomless pit.
