Chapter 26 Real Scene Interpretation (1) Relaxed Daily Team Building + Werewolf Killing...
【You, don't be too sad. 】
The system couldn't quite make out his expression. Fei lowered his head, his hands raised to shield his eyes, covering them tightly. He looked incredibly downcast, and the system was so startled that its words of comfort were hesitant: [It...hasn't happened yet! There's still time!]
Seeing Fei's shoulders began to tremble uncontrollably, the system became anxious and didn't know what to say for a long time, until it noticed Fei's upturned lips.
"Hasn't happened yet?" Fei's voice was smooth, not even a sob. He lowered his hand, chewing on these words playfully. "So you admit that this is a matter of the same world?"
System: […You’re deceiving me?! You’re cheating on my feelings!!]
"That's not the case. I was really sad just now."
Even though Fei said this, his tone didn't convey any matching meaning. He closed his eyes, his guess correct, but it didn't lift his spirits. "Has this really become a game? It's like overwriting past saves with the current progress."
The system, fearing he'd mention the all-inclusive ending, immediately announced, "No rewinding! Forget it!"
"I was just kidding. I didn't treat Earth Online as a survival game." Fei was wondering if it was possible to read that timeline, but he didn't say it out loud. He didn't intend to let the system know.
Fei found the indoor lighting control panel and turned off the lights, then used the space conversion props to return home. Seeing this, the system couldn't help but complain, wondering if he would run out of money one day if he wasted props like this.
"No."
Bo Bei exited the panel's fixed image data and swiped open the panel's item bar to show the system. The storage data behind those space items numbered several hundred. It was surprised: "Why are you hoarding so much? Don't you have anywhere to spend your points?"
"U tried to buy my life before. Many players, both inside and outside the game, are frantically searching for Shen Que and me." Bai Bei explained a few words. He left the bedroom. Shi Yu hadn't returned yet. "I needed it anyway, so I just bought some extra just in case."
System: [……] This is called a little?
"Who would have thought that it would still be used now? Player accounts that have cleared the game are just unable to log into the game, while the panel is not affected at all." Bai Bei's words clung to something, and he almost pointed out that the game's overall system was also involved in this matter.
It seems that not only the Abnormal Monitoring Bureau, but also the overall game system that is about to possess Wine and bring him to reality is trying its best to help him, although they never mention what caused the "previous work" to end in destruction.
He will find it out sooner or later anyway, so there is no point pinning your hopes on these guys.
Bai Bei asked the system to wait for Shi Yu to come back and remind him, then went back into the bedroom.
Busy with dealing with ghost stories, Bo Bei felt like he'd been working for free for days without getting paid. He actually wanted to use Fei's identity to ask Xie Jianshan if he could get paid for the ghost stories he'd solved for the Operations Department.
If that happened, Xie Jianshan might be scared to death by him.
After all, whether it was the Operations Department, U or the barrage, they all thought that Fei was some powerful and influential figure who despised money.
Bai Bei felt that stereotypes were really harmful. He was just doing well in the game and accidentally ranked first on the list. It had nothing to do with reality. Besides, who would complain about having too much money?
...Forget it. At least the Operations Department gave me a new studio. The original studio was a bit crowded due to staff expansion, so I was planning to change it.
Just consider it as paying off the money for the new studio.
Thinking of this, Bai Bei lay down peacefully again.
The next day was Sunday, a rare day of free time, so Shi Yu found a hot pot restaurant that he had collected on the app and that was affordable and well-reviewed and expressed his desire to eat there. Bai Bei had no objection and let him go. It happened that the hot pot restaurant was in a shopping mall, so after eating, he could go to the supermarket to buy ingredients.
Bai Bei hadn't expected to run into Su Yang and Wen Ting. He hadn't seen the two people on the other side at the time; it was Shi Yu who noticed them first. The young man's eyes lit up, and without caring whether his brother had reacted or not, he happily ran over with them.
As a result, they naturally became a group of four, and Shi Yu successfully persuaded Su Yang and Wen Tingxu to give up Japanese food and choose hot pot. Bai Bei next to them sighed helplessly, and Xiaoyu really didn't see anything.
He casually posted a circle of friends, and by the way, he wanted to fill the feeling of being alive, which might not be updated for several months. Accurate comments and private messages followed within seconds.
Chen Que: [What a coincidence! Which floor are you on?]
Bai Bei: [...Fifth floor, didn't you say you were discussing something this morning? Want to join us?]
Chen Que: [We just finished talking about this over there. Okay.]
Bo Bei: [Boss, didn't your assistant book a restaurant for you? Do you want to join us?]
Chen Que: [I’ve decided, but I don’t really want to go]
Chen Que: [Then here I come:)]
Of course Bai Bei would not refuse, he just jokingly said a few words of dissatisfaction. Another new message popped up. He swiped it and was a little surprised to see the note "Xie Jianshan". The other party happened to be nearby. He said that Lin Yuan wanted to talk to Shi Yu about something.
Bai Bei relayed this to Shi Yu and the others, and after receiving their agreement, he agreed.
Chen Que, who was closer, arrived first. He had just finished greeting a few people when he was dragged into the video game store next door. Before he could even wrap his mind around it, Bai Bei's voice had already dragged him back to reality: "Xie Jianshan will be here."
"He can't get the player's information. I will help you cover it up. Be careful not to get discovered." Bai Bei planned to use his ability to help him conceal the player's identity, and this required absolute trust and compliance. Chen Que did not offer any resistance.
Bo Bei would occasionally feel puzzled. In the five years that they had known each other, Chen Que had always been like this, believing in him sincerely and not irrationally. Even if he used his ability to cover his entire body, he could kill him with the slightest disloyalty.
Was it because they were companions, or because he had other motives in helping him at the beginning? Bai Bei originally thought that people like Shen Que would only believe in interests, not false friendship.
Just like he didn't understand Shi Yu before, but now he is no longer completely unable to comprehend.
"You're distracted again." Shen Que didn't know what Bai Bei was thinking. He picked up a game disc and said, "If you don't want to go back, let's play a few games. Maybe there's still a ninth day."
Bai Bei's eyes darkened. "Goodbye, I don't want to see anything related to ghost stories these days."
After finishing his conversation, Bai Bei dragged his men back to the hot pot restaurant. Just as they sat down, Xie Jianshan and Lin Yuan walked in. The moment Shi Yu saw them clearly, he seemed to be frozen, his mouth open, frozen in place.
Su Yang and Wen Tingxu next to them were barely calm, but the dropped chopsticks revealed their shock and nervousness.
"Brother, brother..." Shi Yu took a long time to find his voice. He looked at Bai Bei, who had picked up his chopsticks and called the waiter to order two more pairs. He raised his finger and pointed at Lin Yuan, trying to ask politely, "Is this sister also your friend?"
Bo Bei, whose acting skills exploded, looked confused, as if he found their reaction strange. "Yes, what's wrong? Have you met before?"
"No, maybe I recognized the wrong person." Shi Yu tried his best to act natural, but his poor acting skills were full of loopholes. The young man, eager to get rid of suspicion, had no intention of paying attention to the other party, and therefore missed Xie Jianshan's suspicious expression of trying to hold back a smile.
Bai Bei couldn't reach over there, but he could still manage the gloating Chen Que. He pinched the arm of the person next to him, asking him to be more restrained. Then he gave Lin Yuan a look, and the other person understood tacitly and slapped Xie Jianshan's shoulder without hesitation.
Xie Jianshan, who witnessed the entire conversation between the two, said: "..." He really doubted who Lin Yuan's teammate was.
After testing the waters, Shi Yu discovered that Bai Bei really didn't know anything about the Operations Department. They were just ordinary friends with a good relationship in real life. Shi Yu finally felt relieved and noticed that Xie Jianshan and Lin Yuan seemed to be very familiar with each other.
Maybe he was just a friend. Shi Yu didn't think much about it and didn't think about the Captain Xie that Lin Yuan mentioned, whom he had never met. However, Wen Tingxu vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
None of them had any dietary restrictions, so after ordering the dishes, Yu took the initiative to bring up the topic. Xie Jianshan, who had a very good chat with him last time at Jiuyou, took over, and Chen Que, who was equally lively, also started talking, easily livening up the atmosphere.
Bo Bei suddenly found himself surrounded by an extroverted and thick-skinned man: "..." He always had a bad feeling.
After a while, the various ingredients were served on the table. Shi Yu used his serving chopsticks to pick up a few beef rolls and put them into the pot. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he said excitedly, "It takes time for the food to be cooked anyway! Let's play Werewolf!"
Bai Bei: "...The meat will be overcooked."
Chen Que: "Just eat and play at the same time, it's okay."
Others: “I have no problem with that.”
A simple meal out not only turned into a gathering of seven, but also came with a Werewolf puzzle game. Bai Bei, whose energy was almost exhausted, heard them quickly decide who would be God, and asked the waiter for paper and pen, wrote down the identities, and folded them into small slips.
Bai Bei casually touched a piece of paper and opened it to see that it was a prophet, so his luck was pretty good.
Lin Yuan, who took the initiative to claim the identity of God, said at this time: "Please close your eyes when it gets dark."
"Werewolves, please open your eyes, confirm your identities with each other, and choose the one you wish to kill."
After a while, Bai Bei heard Lin Yuan say that the prophet should open his eyes and choose the person to be checked, then he opened his eyes. Without any hesitation, he pointed at Chen Que beside him.
Seeing this, Lin Yuan made a thumbs-down gesture, telling him that Shen was indeed a werewolf.
Seeing that Lin Yuan was about to say the game words again, Bai Bei hurriedly reached out and asked her to wait a moment. Then he took out the fish tofu that had been boiling in the pot for a long time and put it into the bowl.
Lin Yuan: “…”
Lin Yuan: "Prophet, please close your eyes. Witch, please open your eyes."
Without having the time to take a bite, Bai Bei could only close his eyes again with regret, listening to Lin Yuan's long words in one ear and out the other. After the witch closed her eyes, she finally waited until dawn.
"The player who died last night was——"
Lin Yuan pointed directly at Bai Bei and spread out her hands. "Please leave a last word."
Bai Bei, who had been tragically killed by a werewolf on the first night, smiled and placed his hand on Chen Que's shoulder. He calmly chose to take his friend away. "I'm a prophet. I checked him on the first night and he's a wolf. Remember to vote for him so I can achieve a one-for-one match."
"Also, I reasonably speculate that the other wolf is Xie Jianshan, because he stayed there for a long time, and only Xie Jianshan's chopsticks changed position... There is only one truth! He is a wolf and stole food while he was choosing his target!"
Xie Jianshan: “…” Damn, isn’t it such a waste to use your observation ability on Werewolf?
Shen Que: “…No?”
The system, which had never seen anyone play Werewolf's immersive experience, was shocked: [No? Are you serious about this? You could even tell Xie Jianshan moved his chopsticks!]
Due to Bo Bei's explosive statement and the lack of clues on the first night, the remaining few people tried to vote out Shen Que. After some hesitation, they chose to believe him. The witch directly used poison to eliminate Xie Jianshan, and the civilian camp declared victory.
Bai Bei, who accidentally got it right after checking people and guessing: Actually, I didn’t expect it either.
Stunned System: […I know!]
System: [It's my turn to play next!]
