Chapter 69 Parallel Paths (2) It has always been as long as he wants...
[Surprise update! Surprise... side story? Uh, wait a minute! Why is our brother the protagonist?! Brother, you're not following the main storyline anymore, so you're doing a side story instead, right?]
[The movie star brother went to work in the side story to supplement his family income. It's so touching (this anecdote is a bit too wild). Hey, why is the side story set in the previous work?! Brother, why are you here?!]
[Thinking about it, it's terrifying. The old thief only said that the time period of the previous and sequel is the same, and never mentioned that they are parallel universes. I remember someone on the forum previously speculated that the sequel was the previous game with a reset time period. Could it be... true?!]
[My brother even killed a sentient being at the beginning, and the one he saved was the protagonist of the previous game. I can't do this anymore. I'll also set up a global fan club for my brother in the sequel of the previous game.]
…
Bai Bei didn't expect that he could see barrage here. It seemed that the comics had a special extra volume with him as the main perspective. Putting him in this world, there was a subtle sense of familiarity.
The barrage of bullets zipping past him didn't have much of an impact. Bo Bei continued walking, dispatching monsters along the way. He surveyed his surroundings. The reality of this node was dire; it had become a complete hunting ground for ghost stories.
The realm of ghost stories can be said to be almost everywhere. Bai Bei stepped into another realm of ghost stories after taking a few steps. Without even raising his eyelids, the surging shadows swallowed up the monster that was blocking the way before the consciousness body pounced on him.
The fading dusk seemed to be filled with the blood of the unfortunate. The distant boundary of the sky was blurred, like the intersection of reality and another world. Countless monsters roamed this land, like a bizarre nightmare.
Bai Bei thought that in the early stages of the large-scale invasion of ghost stories, the situation probably would not develop into such a situation, and the reality should still be coping.
The turning point should be that S-level ghost stories that cannot be completely killed and keep resurrecting began to appear frequently. No matter how powerful the destructive power of the weapons is, it is useless. Moreover, their coverage area includes at least an urban area, and the expansion speed is extraordinary.
Bai Bei's gaze penetrated the thick clouds, as if he could see the eye hidden behind them.
Been watching everything here.
[Don't look at those eyes! There's something behind you!]
When Bai Bei heard the system's prompt, he turned his head, raised his hand as if he had expected it, and chopped off half of the monster's head with a blade.
Here he was still used to his old methods. Weapons of any type were the same to him. The blades were thin and light enough to be used casually between the fingers, and the shadows that covered most areas made it easier to mobilize.
As long as he wants to, he can do it, and the result is the same no matter which world he is in.
The monster's deformed body fell down, revealing the face of the young man standing behind it. He blinked and saw the thin, blood-stained blade in Bai Bei's hand.
...Can a blade alone really have such a high lethality? The young man looked at the monster lying on the ground. It should have been resurrected again, but it didn't.
"You're amazing! Did you just come to City A recently? I don't think I've seen you before." The young man took a few steps forward and began to flatter her decisively, his cheerful smile friendly and enthusiastic. "It seems like we're destined to meet. I didn't expect to meet again so soon."
Bai Bei glanced at him indifferently, realizing that this man was trying to get close to him deliberately and was not as simple as he seemed. Perhaps he thought he was very strong and wanted to bring him over as a companion.
The commentators were quite aware of the character of the protagonist of the previous game and were making comments cheerfully.
Baiqiehei Xiaojiang is trying to act good again, trying to make a good impression. He appears to be full of admiration and gratitude, but in reality he's racking his brains trying to figure out how to get our brother's permanent contact information.
[It's reasonable to suspect that Xiao Jiang's excitement when he was rescued was also an act, but I didn't expect our brother to have no reaction at all. The weak Xiao Jiang failed the challenge.]
[I'm not attracted to this little Jiang Chun. I felt love at first sight when I was rescued. Now I can feel our brother's strength directly. It's beautiful. Finished, Xiaoyu, someone is going to steal your brother.]
[Think twice, Xiao Jiang! This is the man that countless twisted toxic fans and normal (fake) hype couldn't win over in the sequel! It's too difficult, so let's just give up orz]
Bai Bei, who always had a bad feeling, said: "..."
"Are your companions nearby?" Xiao Jiang asked casually, his purpose was obvious. Bai Bei evaded the question. After all, he was not a non-existent person at this point in the reality. It would be better to say that he was a resident of City A from the neighboring province.
"Are you looking for someone in City A?" Xiao Jiang was a little puzzled. City A was a concentrated landing site plagued by ghost stories, and everyone avoided it. Why would this person come here on his own initiative? "Maybe I can help you."
Bai Bei shook his head: "No, I've already found him."
"There are probably only two S-rank ghost stories in City A right now." Bo Bei's tone was as calm as if he was discussing the weather. He tilted his head and said, "They should be Carnival and Plock. The strange thing is, they don't seem to have expanded their territories."
Xiao Jiang was slightly startled. He hadn't expected Bai Bei to know such detailed and accurate information. He didn't reply for a moment, and then spoke again after a few seconds: "Yes, because their landing place is very close."
"Plock's consciousness is out of control. If it were to expand, the first place to be washed away by the fierce waves and cruise ships would be the amusement park. That's why they are still in a stalemate."
But not for long.
The phenomenon of annexation between ghost stories is even more extreme and brutal among high-risk ghost stories. Bai Bei is aware of this. Xiao Jiang always feels that something is wrong when looking at his expression. The road under his feet is in the direction of the carnival, so absurd speculations emerge.
Xiao Jiang asked hesitantly, "Brother, you're not... going to solve that S-rank ghost story, are you?"
Bai Bei nodded without reacting, as if he was just going for a walk and cleaning up the ghost stories. Xiao Jiang added a little hesitantly, "These are two S-rank items connected together. Don't you need to prepare...?"
Bo Bei glanced sideways, "Well, is there a problem?"
Xiao Jiang: “…No.”
He was wondering where this big shot came from. Not to mention the S-class whose survival rate was as low as no more than 5%, he didn't even bother to deal with them along the way.
...Could it be that he is a senior member of the Operations Division, who came here to discuss a new plan with the headquarters? Xiao Jiang, who was imagining things randomly, even forgot that Bai Bei had acted completely unfamiliar with the Executive Division not long ago.
Bai Bei didn't know what the people around him were thinking. He reminded them, "I'm going to the carnival. Do you still want to follow me?"
Of course, Xiao Jiang didn't have the ability and courage to break through two S-level levels in a row. After he left, Bai Bei came to the entrance of the amusement park. He really didn't expect that he had just entered this ghost story not long ago, and now he had to go through it again.
At that time, he was standing on the coastal trail of the amusement park and was wondering why the ghost story game didn't combine these two ghost stories together, and they actually came true.
Although it is in this form.
Even if these two ghost stories disappear, new S-class stories will still appear. The system didn't quite understand why Bo Bei wasted his energy. Perhaps he wasn't going there to deal with ghost stories. "Do you want a cruise ship?"
"I guessed right. Can your background program be upgraded?" Bai Bei walked into the ticket gate with a dry sense of humor. Shadows climbed up his body until they covered his eyes, and then only black liquid was left gathering on the ground, erasing his figure.
Kashiwabei appeared again on the coast of the amusement park.
An enormous cruise ship of incalculable size rested quietly on the sea. Behind it, the darker hues of the sea seemed to hide some monster waiting for an opportunity to strike. Bai Bei turned around and looked at the existence in front of him that was the main consciousness of the carnival.
"Surprisingly, the guys from the Surveillance Bureau actually managed to leave by imitating humans?" The Joker sensed that the person before him was clearly not a normal human, and there was a strange sense of familiarity. "But there's nothing you can do to stop them, right?"
The undulating waves soaked his calves. Bai Bei stepped on the boundary that separated the two different areas of ghost stories. He didn't deny it when he heard it. "There's really nothing I can do, but aren't we still looking for it?"
"So, it sounds like you know who the instigator of the fusion is?"
"...It's quite unusual that a fake person would joke around." The clown asked back, "Don't you know?"
Bai Bei smiled and said, "Of course I know."
Putting all these things together, Bai Bei roughly guessed who was behind all this. The world of ghost stories itself also had an incarnation of a similar consciousness. "You really want to make another ghost story disappear."
"I took it away for you, no need to thank me."
After Bai Bei finished speaking, he ignored the reaction of the person opposite him. His figure disappeared on the spot, and the ground under his feet became a railing that was very easy to slip on. He lowered his head and saw the twisted monster hiding below through the calm sea.
He jumped off the fence and turned around to meet the gaze of an acquaintance. Bai Bei was not surprised at all. "Unfortunately, even if Plock wants to dock, you can't get off the boat."
Bai Bei signaled that they could go back. He walked slowly to Serik, stopped, and announced the new rules: "Plock will withdraw the special protection for the powerful."
"If you don't believe me, you can try it after the new passengers get on board." Bo Bei's tone was so calm that it hardly sounded like a warning. He was simply stating the facts. "The helmsman of the Plock has been replaced. I'm now in control."
"If you don't want the boat to be smashed and everyone to die, then go back to your room and don't walk around." Bai Bei knew that few people would actually listen to him, so he didn't say any more nonsense. Before any dissatisfied questions came out, he directly controlled these people to shut up.
Bai Bei felt that this was the most convenient way.
The fact that Prok does not have a real captain, but can still sail safely is completely in line with the weirdness of the world of ghost stories. It is not difficult for Bo Bei to change the route.
The mini octopus pendant's consciousness was pulling at his arm just like last time, but Bai Bei ignored it. He controlled the Prok to dock at the shore, then got off the boat and stood on the edge of the beach.
There he met an old acquaintance.
...The people from U arrived earlier than the Operations Department.
