Chapter 651: Real World (2)

Once the problem was solved, everything seemed to become easier.

Although there is no virtue of keeping one's word and doing what one says, but since both of them are hungry, Bai Jinshu decided to get up and cook something as he promised.

The auntie who came every week to replenish fresh ingredients did not come. Bai Jinshu went to the kitchen in the dark with the light of the city night view outside the window, turned on an orange light, and then randomly found a bag of noodles.

The good news is that although my aunt didn't come, she was away for not long this time, and the vegetables in the refrigerator haven't had time to go bad yet, they just became wilted from being juicy. Bai Jinshu picked and chose among the pile of green vegetables, and finally chose a bunch of rapeseed.

There was still a lot of meat in the quick-frozen layer, but it seemed a little too late to thaw it now. Considering that Huai Jiamu's power seemed to only stop time but not accelerate time, Bai Jinshu thought for a moment, and finally put the meat back obediently and picked two eggs from it.

While the water in the pot was still boiling, he fried two eggs and opened a can of luncheon meat. He then made two bowls of egg and ham noodles in the rising steam.

The table in the restaurant was piled with miscellaneous items that had not been tidied up before leaving. The two people held their bowls and sat side by side on the only small piece of empty table that could be tidied up to finish their bowl of noodles.

To be honest, this is actually different from Bai Jinshu's original idea. His original idea was to make two bowls of snail noodles as quickly as possible, and then use double the spiciness to shut up Huai Jiamu's mouth.

But now, Bai Jinshu silently put his arms around the other's neck and began to think about how things turned out that the two of them were huddled together in the soft night light like water, like two birds preening their feathers, leaning their beaks against each other in the morning mist, whispering some soft buds.

There was still a hint of food aroma floating in the room, which mixed with the light dust on the floor and was gradually dispersed into the air as the two people in the room moved.

Their footsteps crossed, and in a few turns, they walked from the dining table to the sofa.

Bai Jinshu's arms were tensed and he supported his upper body with one hand. Before he could see what was behind him, he was thrown into the soft fabric.

"Hmm..." After a few gentle kisses, he shook his head, with tears in his eyes, "Wait a minute... I need to check something first."

He still hasn't forgotten why he entered [Haining Cat Island] before -

All the real identities he had used in reality seemed to disappear after he came out of the unknown space.

Old Wu’s cousin Wu Zongling is one, and Rao Xian’s childhood friend Chao Yougan is another. After discovering this, Bai Jinshu deliberately found a person who also existed in real life, and used his identity to enter the next unknown space.

Now, all he had to do was see if this person still existed to verify his guess.

"Cellphone..." Bai Jinshu pointed at the cellphone he had thrown on the other side of the sofa, "Give it to me."

Huai Jiamu: “…”

He stared at the phone for a long while with a look as if he was looking at a dead person, and finally reached out and handed it over.

But soon, he would really see a dead person.

After a few seconds, Bai Jinshu put down his phone with a somewhat ugly look on his face.

"I can't find it anymore," he said. "The cult saint who was hyped up before I started searching and the movie that was going to be made with him as the protagonist have now disappeared from the Internet."

Just like Wu Zongzi and Chao Yougan.

"Do you still remember?" He looked up at Huai Jiamu as if to confirm, "Do you remember who Du Zhongsheng was at the beginning?"

"Remember." After a while, Huai Jiamu nodded.

*

After a whole day of investigation and indirect inquiry, Bai Jin finally figured out the scope of Du Zhongsheng's "disappearance".

All netizens don’t remember it at all.

He specially bought several small accounts to send out various phishing posts, but no one responded. No one showed any inclination to know about it, and even the number of replies to most of the posts did not exceed ten.

Those who have been exposed to Zhongsheng too much in real life don’t remember anything at all.

Bai Jinshu used some connections to contact several of the film's main creators, some familiar and some unfamiliar. These people, who had once boasted in interviews and press releases about their personal visits to the prototype and face-to-face interviews with Guo Zhongsheng himself, have now all lost all memory of this person.

The foundation's investors also remember nothing.

It is convenient to check the group of investors including Brother Yue, as they have a good relationship with Bai Jinshu and they are in a special state of being able to talk about anything because they share a secret.

If they found out that there was a very famous death row prisoner in the real world in the Foundation, when Bai Jinshu came back and opened his eyes, he would see the shocked news that these people were expressing in the small group they had created.

Unfortunately, Bai Jinshu looked through the chat records of more than 999 during the seven days he was away, but did not see any relevant information.

At this point, he was basically certain that in the original space he belonged to, the only two people who remembered Du Zhongsheng were probably him and Huai Jiamu, and Huai Jiamu was not even strictly speaking a person from their world.

So, did Du Zhongsheng really disappear because of him...

Bai Jinshu seemed to be thinking about something. He randomly picked an ID card with a good relationship with Guan Hongyan and sent it to her in a private message.

[She Mochu: Guan Hongyan, I want to ask you a question about fixed attributes.]

After a while, the other party replied: [Yo, rare guest, as everyone knows, I have a friend who is me, what’s your problem? ]

Ignoring her teasing, Bai Jinshu continued: [Will your fixed attributes affect your life in the real world? ]

In some holiday space, Guan Hongyan, who had just finished an exploration, stood up and looked at this sentence carefully: [What does it mean? What does it mean to affect real life? ]

[I'm just giving you an example.] She Mochu replied quickly on the other end of the conversation. He must have thought of this example a long time ago. [Your fixed attribute is [not eating coriander]. Will coriander also disappear in the real world?]

【Guan Hongyan: Huh?】

[Guan Hongyan: How is that possible? It would be great if cilantro could disappear in the real world! I have left the Foundation's special space and unknown space, and I have to pick cilantro honestly when I return to my own world! ]

[She Mochu: What about the products in the Foundation Mall? ]

[Products... I really don't know about this,] Guan Hongyan thought for a moment, [Is there something wrong with your fixed attributes? This is no small matter, how about I ask Yun Guang for you? He is familiar with this.]

On the other end of the conversation, Bai Jinshu put down his watch and frowned slightly.

The fixed properties of the Foundation will not affect the real world? Then... why do all the people he has played disappear?

And not only did it disappear, but when he first entered the dungeon as She Mochu and gave away an eye, the updated She Mochu in the comics also lost a vertical pupil.

He always thought that this was normal, or some side effects of the miracle [Custom Mask], but now the former has been proven to be completely abnormal, and as for the latter... At that time, She Mochu was just his first identity in trying out the [Custom Mask] for the first time.

If it was a sequelae, how could it take effect so quickly?

What Yun Guang mentioned at the time was that "the mask will be difficult to take off after wearing it for a long time", which sounds like a sequelae for the user. He doesn't seem to have encountered a similar situation so far.

His situation is more like: if you wear the mask for too long, the person you are using to disguise yourself will disappear.

But this seems a bit too strange. The side effects of the mask are not directed at the disguiser, but at the person being disguised.

With a lot of guesses in mind, Bai Jinshu waited for a whole night, and received a contact from Yun Guang the next day.

[Yun Guang: Mo Chu, are you there? Yesterday Hong Yan told me that you had a question for me about the miracles of the Foundation? ]

[Yes,] Bai Jinshu turned over in the quilt, nestled in Huai Jiamu's arms and replied, [I want to ask, can the miracles in the Foundation Mall be used in my own native space?]

The other party thought for a moment and replied with several long paragraphs.

[Yun Guang: This depends on the situation. If this miracle is a conceptual item, like [xx Primary Mastery], then it can be used. However, if you do not have this miracle in advance, then you cannot buy it in the real world. Haven't you noticed that the purchase function cannot be used in the native world? ]

[Yun Guang: If this miracle is a substantial item, something you can see and touch, then it depends on the system of your native space. If you are in a low-magic space, then without the Foundation's exploration channel as a medium, as a native, this space itself will reject you from taking out items that are beyond the system of this space. For example, you cannot take out a communication base station in the ancient world.]

[Yun Guang: There is another situation where this space was originally in a high-magic space, but due to some reasons, it gradually decreased to a low-magic space. In this case, theoretically, any items that do not exceed the highest system can be used. However, what can be used and what cannot be used depends on the world. The Foundation only has the final right to interpret miracles during the exploration process and the use of special spaces. ]

…

Yun Guang was worthy of being Yun Guang. He sent out more than a dozen messages in succession, covering all possible problems that might occur when using products within the foundation. Bai Jinshu started reading when the sun just came out, and only finished reading this long list of explanations that was comparable to an instruction manual when the sunlight outside the window rose from the corner of the table to the edge of the bed.

Yun Guang listed many possibilities, but the only one he did not list was "sequelae".

[Yun Guang: Any other questions? ]

Bai Jinshu frowned: [What if this miracle is charged by time, and I haven't used it in the real world, but it still has a certain impact on the people in my world after I return to the real world? ]

This sentence is too obvious.

Yun Guang once vaguely confirmed that She Mochu was using a [Custom Mask]. Now Bai Jinshu directly mentioned that "charged by time", and it was hard for him not to make associations.

Sure enough, Yun Guang quickly replied: [Customized mask? ]

【She Mochu: Yes.】

【She Mochu: But it’s not the situation you warned me about at the time. 】

The silence on the other side lasted longer this time.

[Yun Guang: As far as I know, this is the only aftereffect of this miracle. When Hong Yan came to ask me, she told me that there was a problem with your fixed attribute, which also had an impact on the real world. If you want to ask if it is a miracle, I can be sure that this should have nothing to do with the custom mask, but the fixed attribute can also be used in the real world before. This situation has happened before, and it may be a precursor to losing control. ]
