Chapter 90: After everything is over...
"Brother, you're going too far!"
Shi Yu waited day and night for her brother to come back, and was about to tearfully stage a reunion drama. At first, the development was just as Bai Bei had imagined, but at some point, things changed.
Shi Yu wiped his tearful eyes and began to recount his actions. He frowned and clasped his hands together, accusing Bai Bei of every action: "He entered the game without telling me, appeared by my side under another identity to help me, and always lied to me and didn't tell the truth..."
"And you didn't even tell me you were leaving?! Everyone else knew but I didn't! Bro, you're so abominable!!"
Bai Bei: "...Isn't this because I'm afraid you'll worry."
He listened with one ear and out the other, his eyes wandering, seemingly just checking it out without taking it to heart. Bai Bei whispered to the system, "That's not right. This isn't what I expected."
The system watched with gusto: [What do you want? The touching reunion scene has already been played out at the beginning. Now it's our brother's time to review! Reflect on yourself, Mr. Movie King!]
Bo Bei: "If you can't reflect on it, you'll dare to do it again next time."
Shi Yu mumbled a lot, and finally asked hesitantly, "Brother, you won't leave again, will you?"
Bai Bei wanted to say no, but seeing the young man's nervousness, he feigned silence for a moment. After Shi Yu twirled his fingers nervously several times, he shook his head and said, "Not necessarily. He might be suddenly pulled back into the world of ghost stories."
His natural acting was flawless, making Shi Yu's eyes widen in surprise: "Is this true? What should I do, brother?"
The system was amazed: [As expected of you, Brother Movie King. The forum didn't give you this title in vain.]
It also used its non-existent cyber conscience to help the unsuspecting Shi Yu rebuke this deception: [You're such a scoundrel! You're just taking advantage of Shi Yu's innocence and being easily deceived, right?!]
Bai Bei: "I didn't. I just wanted to tease him, but who knew this silly kid would believe it so quickly."
Just as the teasing Bai Bei was about to tell the truth, the sound of a door opening suddenly rang out. He subconsciously raised his head and looked over with Shi Yu, and exchanged a look with Chen Que who was standing at the entrance.
Shen Que was a little confused when he saw the two of them, who looked like a principal scolding a disobedient student. He thought for a few seconds and soon realized what was going on. His expression instantly became gloating.
After he walked over to Bo Bei, he was still jokingly mocking his friend: "You have come to this day."
Bai Bei raised his hand expressionlessly and pinched Chen Que's arm, "Shut up."
However, Chen Que didn't laugh for long, because Shi Yu, in combat mode, quickly turned her attention to him: "And Brother Chen Que! You knew everything, yet you and I hid it from me!"
Chen Que was wondering why he still had his own affairs. Facing the accusations, he chose to use the same familiar Bai Bei's words to fool him: "After all, I don't want you to worry, and this is not solved smoothly, look, your brother is not only fine, but his hair has grown longer."
Bo Bei, who was repeatedly cueed, asked: "...What are you doing here?"
"I want to ask you something about the studio." Shen Que thought that since the fusion of the two worlds had come to an end, Bai Bei would definitely return to the studio. "When do you plan to return to the studio? The new event on the ninth day is almost over."
Bai Bei still missed the rare long vacation during that period: "Let's talk about it later. I'll go after a few days of rest."
Shen Que: "Okay, just do as you see fit."
Shi Yu felt something was wrong. He narrowed his eyes and suddenly asked him, "Brother, are you lying to me again?"
Bai Bei, who was suddenly exposed, said: "..." He stopped talking.
The system was extremely amused: [I let you play, and you messed up. Wait until Xiaoyu scolds you, and you'll behave yourself.]
Shen Que was still a little confused. Only after listening to Shi Yu's explanation did he understand what Bai Bei had just said. He put his arm on his friend's shoulders and laughed so hard that he almost fell on him. "Did you really say that? That's too fake, hahaha."
Bai Bei, who was half a head shorter than Chen Que, felt the weight on his shoulders and wanted to move away so that this guy could lie on the ground and continue laughing.
"So repairing the barrier didn't have any effect?" Shi Yu brought the topic back to the point. Despite the fuss, he was still a little worried when talking about this matter. "Brother, you didn't suffer any injuries and deliberately didn't tell us, did you?"
In fact, Bo Bei was completely unharmed and even gained a little weight after taking a vacation for more than two years: "Really, no, don't worry."
"He is now a conscious being in the world of ghost stories. Forget repairing the barrier, catching a few ghost stories to play with is not a problem. He just might disappear occasionally." Chen Que still leaned against Bai Bei in a frivolous manner, and he made a few jokes.
Shi Yu immediately raised his head in alarm. "I'll be gone for a while. It won't be another three years, will it? And brother, how did you become a sentient being in the world of ghost stories?"
Bai Bei slowly said, "Of course not. I can just go there once a day. After all, I'm a conscious being now. I can't stay away all the time."
The latter question was not easy to answer. Bai Bei thought for a moment and gave up the idea of organizing his words. He put one hand behind his back and poked Chen Que silently a few times at an angle that Shi Yu could not see clearly. The people around him immediately understood what he meant.
Shen Que quickly got into the state, he quickly changed to a serious expression, and then told Shi Yu: "Now that this is over, the game has reopened. I have to enter the dungeon now, and Bai Bei has to go with me."
"But my brother has already finished the game, why does he still need to go there..." Shi Yu asked blankly. Before he could react, Shen Que quickly explained the matter of Bai Bei's previous registration in the dungeon system.
Then he took Bo Bei and slipped away at the fastest speed.
When Shi Yu came to his senses, the two familiar figures were no longer in front of him. Chen Que had already entered the dungeon, and Bai Bei was standing in the corner of the game hall.
The ID Fei has been cleared. Although he can still log in and use the props and skills on the panel, he cannot enter the dungeon or view the status of other players.
But he also has the identity of Fei Yu.
The connection screen of the dungeon system appeared in front of him. Bai Bei fixed his eyes on the real-time camera that occupied most of the screen. Chen Que had just entered the dungeon. There were not many people in the live broadcast room compared to usual. He just brushed a few times and successfully ranked first.
The comments in the live broadcast room, which were originally discussing the content of the copy, are now filled with question marks.
What's going on? The dungeon system also gives players points? This is the first time I've seen this.
[Hello, brother Feiyu, long time no see. How come you came to see us? Can you give Zhubo special rules for free?]
The number of viewers began to increase as time passed. Bai Bei continued to give points without blinking, still firmly occupying the first place in the list, until it finally accumulated to a terrifying number.
The barrage expressed a sense of familiarity with an old friend, who just spent points without asking for anything, and it was in Que's live broadcast room. This style of spending money lavishly was a complete replica of Fei.
Players passed by him, and Bai Bei paid attention to the situation on Chen Que's side. He waited in the corner for a while, and finally waited for the people from the Operations Department after more than ten minutes.
The Operations Department has currently confirmed that it will not be removed. Whether the fusion of the two worlds will happen again remains to be seen, so it has been decided to shift the focus from handling ghost stories to managing games. Bo Bei is ready to give them some permissions.
As a conscious being, Bai Bei naturally enjoys the highest authority in the entire world, including ghost story games, so adding a few administrators is certainly not a problem.
"Are you really planning to let it go?" Xie Jianshan was very interested. He knew Bai Bei and knew that this guy was doing this to be a hands-off boss. "As for the Surveillance Bureau, you really don't have to worry about it anymore."
Bai Bei's expression was calm: "I wasn't planning on intervening in this originally. Gaming is the responsibility of the overall system."
"But the Operations Department didn't object? Some people would probably think I have ulterior motives."
"...That was originally the case, but I don't know what the members of your surveillance bureau did after they came to the headquarters. Now no one dares to object." Xie Jianshan waved his hand.
Bai Bei thought thoughtfully, "It seems that intimidation is the most convenient method."
Xie Jianshan: "...Can you say such things behind my back? I am still the commander of the Operations Department."
At this point, Xie Jianshan suddenly remembered something, and he asked Bai Bei again: "I have something to give you. The higher-ups said they made it to thank you for your help. I hope you don't mind."
It sounded like something specially made, and Bai Bei was quite curious about what it was, so he asked.
Xie Jianshan said two words with a smile: "Banner."
Bai Bei: “……?”
The system almost fainted from laughter: [Oh my god, hahahahahahahaha, can you frame this in the studio? Hahahaha, I want to see it!]
Bai Bei closed his eyes and tried to hand the things over to Chen Que without changing his expression. "I appreciate your kindness, but Chen Que has also helped a lot, and he doesn't know your intentions yet. Giving him words can remind people to maintain correct values."
Xie Jianshan felt that what Bai Bei said made sense, so he happily said that he would go back and discuss it, and if possible, he would customize another one for Chen Que. They also made an appointment for dinner.
It is a newly opened restaurant in Shijie City, and they basically serve home-cooked dishes. Baibei just came back a few days ago and didn’t know about this restaurant yet.
Chen Que didn't know that he was about to experience social death, and Bai Bei was still waiting for him in the game hall. When he saw someone coming out of the dungeon, he told him that Xie Jianshan would treat him to a meal on behalf of the Operations Department in the evening.
So, the unsuspecting Chen Que successfully received the banner at dinner. After accepting it, he looked at it for a while and pointed at his own name on it, "Why is it only me? Our Beizi is a key figure."
Bai Bei: "...I don't need it, just keep it."
Chen Que accepted the gift with a normal expression. Bai Bei was impressed by his amazing social skills. It turned out to be the most appropriate gift for him.
This time, there were exactly seven of them, just like last time, so they simply asked for a private room. The restaurant was very busy, so the food was served a little slowly. While waiting, Shi Yu enthusiastically suggested playing Werewolf.
It seems that he wants to avenge his previous defeat and win the Best Performance award.
"Also! You guys are restless!" Shi Yu pointed at Chen Que, then at Xie Jianshan, and finally at his own brother, "Don't use your abilities to cheat secretly!"
Xie Jianshan, who was planning to use his perception, said: "Of course not."
Shen Que, who was about to secretly cheat, said: "Xiaoyu, you hurt my heart so much when you say that. How could I possibly do that?"
Bai Bei knew their character. He glanced at the two people with innocent eyes and said nothing.
[…Wait a minute! We agreed not to cheat!] Seeing Bai Bei, who had drawn the witch, using his shadows to check the identities on other people's blank papers, the system was so anxious that it wanted to tip off Shi Yu immediately.
"I didn't cheat." Bai Bei heard the referee's prompt. He slowly opened his eyes, chose to use poison, and then pointed at Chen Que, who was acting as the werewolf. "It was just that the shadow happened to see it. How could it be such a coincidence?"
System: […Too cunning!]
In the end, the cunning Bai Bei successfully led the civilians to victory this time.
"It's a good opportunity to come to the mall. Is there anything you want to buy? You used to love the dessert shop next door." After the game and dinner were over, the few of them planned to go back separately. Bai Bei asked Shi Yu, "Your taste shouldn't have changed, right?"
Shi Yu cheered, "Of course! And the yogurt in the refrigerator is all gone. After buying the bread, I want to go to the supermarket!"
Chen Que was standing nearby. When he heard that he could take some fruit back, Bai Bei just smiled and said, "Let's go."
