Chapter 83 Key (1) “I must confirm one thing, Fei…
When Fei Yu appeared in front of Shen Que, holding what looked like half a head, the man opposite him was clearly terrified. "What are you holding in your hand?"
"Consciousness fragments." Fei Yu's casual words were full of inappropriate humor. He stretched out his hand, as if to hand it over to him. Seeing this, Chen Que silently took a few steps back. "...There's no need to keep it, right? Aren't you going to burn it?"
Fei Yu originally planned to do so, but since he wanted the building to swallow up this field of ghost stories, he certainly couldn't do it.
In the end, Chen Que resigned himself to accepting the fragments of the consciousness. He looked down at the dripping brain matter, closed his eyes, and pretended he saw nothing. He couldn't help but ask, "How did it break into pieces like this? Did you blow up the cave?"
Jade: "No, because the mycelium repairs very quickly, I dismembered it."
Shen Que: "...It's very cruel."
The remaining half of the consciousness's head was handed over to Shen for safekeeping, as it was in his hands where the mycelium could not get entangled and the consciousness would recover. Fei Yu stood on the beach, looking into the distance. The calm sea level seemed to vaguely reveal the shadow of a building.
The area covered by this strange story happens to be the part near the building. After the annexation, the building's area is equivalent to covering most of the surrounding areas, which will be much easier to expand.
The building is under Fei Yu's control, so as long as he needs it, integrating other ghost stories is certainly not a problem.
The state of the consciousness body is not as good as before, and it is relatively easy to expand the field. The outline of the high-rise building gradually becomes clearer, and finally it is completely realized into a tangible entity, but the surrounding scenery is becoming blurred.
The sound of the waves subsided and faded away. The isolated island sea area that replaced the real scenery was forced to break away. The old street that was originally quite lively reappeared, with a bustling crowd. Fei Yu stood in the alley, and the surging flow of people and vehicles passed through the field of vision.
A low discussion sounded into his ears, and he heard someone curiously asking his friend when the building appeared. Fei Yu looked over and saw the building that soared into the clouds like a tower that seemed to have no end.
Across the uneven buildings, the bustling commercial streets and office buildings appear particularly small in front of it, like some strange anomaly that makes people feel uneasy for no reason.
"They are discussing whether to make the existence of the ghost story public. This will make it easier to act, and some things can no longer be concealed." A familiar voice sounded behind him. Fei Yu did not turn around, he knew it was Lan.
Lan continued recounting the recent meeting at the Operations Headquarters: "But not everyone agrees. There's also considerable opposition."
Fei Yu knew that it was not just because of this building. The strange stories had been going on for such a long time that even if a confidentiality agreement was arranged, other people would have noticed something was wrong.
"Do you want to go over?" Although Lan asked this, he also knew that Feiyu would not ignore it. "They are arguing fiercely now. You can still watch the fun."
Feiyu smiled and said, "Okay."
Of course, he couldn't really join in the fun. Fei Yu usually didn't interfere in most of the operations department's affairs. But if he really had some ideas, it wouldn't be those people's turn to refute them. Once he made a decision, he wouldn't leave any room for a turnaround.
This was Fei Yu's first time to come to the headquarters of the Operations Department after returning to reality. Although it had been nearly three years, he still didn't have any major feelings about it, but the other members of the organization were obviously not the same.
Facing gazes that ranged from uneasy to wary, Fei Yu's reaction was remarkably calm, as if what she was about to announce was merely a trivial matter: "Continue to conceal the strange story."
[Oh my goodness, I was wondering why the scene suddenly changed. Brother Actor, why did you go to the Operations Headquarters just after the strange story happened? My schedule is very tight.]
[The top brass were still bickering one second, and the next second our brother showed up so smartly. Everyone immediately shut up and kept quiet. Okay, okay, even if the class representative is here, no one is allowed to speak. Anyone who quarrels will be punished and have their head chopped off.]
[Sorry, I have plenty of power and means here, I'll give them all to you to control, and see if you dare to complain (Smith Marseille Operations Department, I'm the movie star brother, brainless provocateur)]
I can't do this anymore. This can be considered peaceful reunification. Before, we were arguing about this and that every day. Now, the dictatorial (not authoritarian) ruler has arrived. How happy are you?!
The questioning words from the other end were cut off in the throat before they could be uttered. Someone opened his mouth but could not utter a single word. It was obvious who was behind this.
Jade cast a cold gaze, and those who were stared at suddenly felt an uncontrollable fear, their thoughts as confused as a ball of thread with no end, as if they were facing a monster from another world.
The man's deep blue eyes seemed to be engraved with strange patterns on the seabed. In a trance, he seemed to see slippery tentacles that were different from ordinary people. They continued to extend from behind him, climbed up the long table, and swept over to strangle the breath of the members who raised objections.
The Minister of Operations, who always appeared calm, suddenly knocked over his chair when he stood up. When others looked at him in surprise, they saw his extremely panicked expression. The only thing that impressed him was the representative of the Surveillance Bureau.
Three years ago, he was a highly-anticipated player who completed the game and delayed the fusion of strange stories. However, he was also the person in charge of the strange story world mediation organization. On the surface, he seemed to be serious about reality, but no one was sure whether he had other intentions.
There were various complex and numerous gazes, whether they were fear or yearning, but Fei Yu's attitude was never affected. He never cared about these things, so he didn't pay any extra attention to them.
Fei Yu even spoke in a rather bland manner. After all, he was only responsible for decision-making. Lan would be responsible for handling the specific implementation and suppressing the dissatisfied voices.
He had originally planned to go straight back to the Surveillance Bureau, but not long after he left the meeting room, Xie Jianshan, who had chased him out, stopped him in his tracks and shouted, "Fei Yu!"
The members of the Operations Department who were passing by all looked over curiously and saw the general team of the Execution Department quickly step forward and directly stop the young man with long black hair not far away.
And the person opposite was a stranger, but he seemed to have just come out of a meeting room where senior management had held a meeting. I had never seen this person before, so he must be a newly recruited partner.
Feiyu originally thought that Xie Jianshan had something important to say, so she turned around and waited, but he said, "I know you won't turn to that world. We always believe in you."
Fei Yu didn't know what Xie Jianshan was going to say, nor did he expect Xie Jianshan to approach the topic in this way. Before he could even speak, the barrage of comments popped up first.
[I know this question! Captain Xie's next sentence will be "Shi Yu has always missed you, blah blah..."]
[Hey, Captain Xie, actually, Xiaoyu has just been in contact with his brother on Kwaidan for a while these days (though not much), and the actor brother is not a human being. He may not care about anyone except Xiaoyu. Should we try a different approach?]
[What are you talking about? Everyone knows that both the pro and anti camps have 100% trust in the actor. This method is not working! Captain Xie, change the lyrics quickly!]
Fei Yu: “…” Alas.
"That trick won't work on me, Captain Xie. The sentimental card is outdated." Feiyu said this, but the strange sense of distance seemed to have disappeared. "If you want to reminisce about the past, I'll have another time, but I won't take back the decision I've made."
"But you should agree with me. Are you suddenly saying this because of the Operations Department, reality, or Shi Yu?"
Feiyu stared at him. As he said, Xie Jianshan also disapproved of the idea of releasing the news of the strange story. He had not come to him for this reason. "It's all three, Feiyu. I must confirm one thing."
After hearing what Xie Jianshan said, Fei Yu didn't say anything else, but just had an expression that said please come as you please.
"You have a way to completely resolve the fusion of the two worlds, and I believe you won't let those guys from the Surveillance Bureau destroy reality. But after this is over, will the Surveillance Bureau remain in reality or return to the world of ghost stories?"
Xie Jianshan paused for a moment after asking, then continued, "And you, what about you?"
Fei Yu looked at him silently, as if she was considering whether to tell him the real answer, or perhaps even he himself was not sure.
"The Surveillance Bureau will leave. This is the result I must guarantee, and it is also a promise that will be fulfilled. You can rest assured." Fei Yu spoke slowly, but he did not answer the following question.
He made no attempt to answer.
[Wok, no way?! What the hell are you doing?! Is this a foreshadowing?! My brother went back in time to save the sequel and prevent the fusion, but he's just a tool?! I'm calling the police!]
"No, S-rank ghost stories are just minor cases. A position like the Master of Ghost Stories for Brother Movie Emperor is even more impossible. Will there be a price to pay, like staying in that world?"
[I don't know, I don't know. I just know that the old thief's driftwood has been gone for a while and may come back later, provided that nothing happens to our brother and the sequel doesn't end badly.]
[Hey, tonic! Even though I scold you every day, I'm really just saying it! If you do this, I'm going to make you feel like the sky is falling!]
Densely packed text occupied most of his field of vision. Fei Yu stared straight ahead with an expressionless face. When the fierce barrage of comments finally subsided, he noticed the solemn expression of Xie Jianshan, who had been silent for a while.
Fei Yu felt that this guy might have the same idea as Danmu, but he didn't know how to explain it. After all, even he was not sure whether he would stay in that world.
After all, he not only wants to repair the barrier, but also wants to replace the existence of the world consciousness. To do this, he must stay in the world of ghost stories, at least he cannot stay in reality all the time. However, he is not sure whether there will be other restrictions.
Anyway, he is safe after all, and his personal health can be guaranteed.
"No accidents will happen to me, you don't have to worry. At most, I will disappear for a few months occasionally, or leave for a while after I finish dealing with something."
Feiyu smiled at this and said, "Compared to all this, you should be more concerned about whether the Operations Department can handle large-scale advent events these days, thank you, Captain."
