Chapter 106 Xia Bai 6
"I quit."
The vice president of the Holy Travel Guild, the psychic, said violently: "I don't care at all about how to crack the game, nor do I care what happened during your internal testing."
Xia Bai: "Then I will tell everyone the real secret of your president and your misunderstanding of what you said out of context, and see what will happen to your Shengyou Guild."
As he said this, he stood beside the president with a sad face, "The president is so pitiful. He has followed you, a corpse dealer, for so many years, and you even used him to build a villain organization. How about I take him away? He will definitely be willing to go with me."
Psychic: “……?”
Ling Changye followed up by saying, "How about you take another look at the contract we just signed?"
The contract was bought from the game store. After signing it, the psychic could also see it in his own game app. In fact, he didn't need to look at it again. He had read it very carefully just now and knew what Ling Changye was talking about.
At least ten times.
When he first saw it, he thought it was a very good one. He couldn't wait to see what was going on between Xia Bai and the president, and he wanted to watch it a few more times.
Who knew it would now become a term of the game that restricts him.
The psychic swallowed his anger and almost got internal injuries from anger, "Let's go."
Xia Bai: "Take the president with you?"
The psychic scoffed, "Can you take him away normally?"
After the skills were initialized, there was no president among the corpses that Xia Bai signed, so he couldn't take him away using soul skills.
Xia Bai took out a corpse-controlling talisman on the spot and happily stuck it on the back of the president's head. He took off his hat and put it on the president. When the president sat up, he looked completely normal.
Xia Bai asked: "Is it ok?"
The psychic spoke a long paragraph very quickly. It was unknown what language he was speaking. Xia Bai didn't understand a single word he said, but he understood that he was probably in a bad mood.
Xia Bai looked at Ling Changye, and Ling Changye said, "The environment here seems to be good for corpses. We have a lot of things to do recently, so it's better to let the president stay here. When you have winter vacation, you can bring the president to the courtyard."
Xia Bai listened to the advice of her boyfriend and team leader and gave up the idea of taking the president away.
The psychic finally felt a little relieved and inexplicably felt that it was okay for him to go with them. At least the saint president of the Holy Travel Guild was saved.
He automatically ignored the fact that the two men were planning to take the president away during the winter vacation.
Because Xia Bai had classes the next day, they went back that night, taking the psychic with them.
As soon as he arrived in Jiangqi City, Ling Changye received a call from Director Wang.
"Let me confirm first. You couldn't stand the fact that Yang Yi was poached by the Holy Travel Guild, so you poached the vice president of the Holy Travel Guild to the Travel Administration Bureau, instead of being poached by the Holy Travel Guild, right?"
Only then did they realize that the photo of the two of them together had been uploaded to the player communication center.
The captain of the assault team and the vice president of the Holy Tour Guild together only need one photo to become a hot topic, enough for players to discuss.
You Yue also sent a message to Xia Bai: [Why didn't you come to me when you came to the Holy Tour Guild? I can do more for you than the psychic.]
Xia Bai scratched his chin, [I want him to communicate with the spirit, it's nothing serious, if I need your help I'll find you again.]
In view of this, Xia Bai and Ling Changye decided to let the psychic disguise himself.
Psychic: “…”
Ten thousand swear words came out in my mind.
Fortunately, Xia Bai's house is large enough for the psychic to have a guest bedroom.
Originally, I wanted to eat spicy and sour potato shreds tonight, and Xia Bai had already bought the potatoes, but when he thought about cooking for a corpse dealer, Xia Bai didn't want to do it.
Ling Changye actually saw through his little thoughts and offered to cook tonight.
Xia Bai didn't expect that he could cook, and his cooking was delicious, especially the spicy and sour potato shreds, which were crispy, sour and spicy. It was a very happy meal, and even the psychic liked him a lot more.
During the meal, Ling Changye asked the psychic again: "What else did you sense from your president? You are so convinced that he is the prophet of the game, so it should be more than just that you sense that the game is irresistible, right?"
The psychic didn't say anything, just concentrated on eating the spicy and sour potato shreds.
He had to admit that Ling Changye's dish was quite delicious.
Ling Changye brought the plate of shredded potatoes to Xia Bai, who was about to get angry, and said, "Don't forget the contract. You have to tell us everything you know."
The psychic suddenly lost his appetite.
He drank two sips of chrysanthemum tea to reduce fever, and said reluctantly: "A lot, a lot of you already know, such as the essence of ordinary games is to find the truth, there is no need to say more about that, right?"
Ling Changye said: "Just tell us what we don't know and what will help us crack the game."
The psychic thought about it and had to tell them his most important discovery, "There are two levels of game size."
Even Xia Bai, who was concentrating on eating shredded potatoes, raised his head.
At present, they all know that there are two types of games, one is a very common ordinary map, and the other is a relatively rare special map.
According to size, the game has two types of maps: small maps and large maps. These two types are easy to divide. A small map only has a few people, a dozen people, and no more than twenty people at most. The Harmonious Cinema is considered to be one of the most crowded small maps.
The large-scale map starts with a hundred people. When the large-scale map of Quanguang City came, the entire orthopedic hospital, including the people in the parking lot, were involved. According to statistics, there were more than 280 people.
This is also why, knowing that there are hidden dangers in the large map, the Game Management Bureau has not yet arranged for players to complete the remaining large map.
The large map of Dahui City is a middle school, a very famous high school in Dahui City. It has more than 20 classes in total and more than 900 teachers and students in the school. To complete this map, it may require more than 900 people to start the game. How to organize this?
Let more than 900 players go through a very dangerous large map. Not to mention whether the Tourism Bureau can organize so many players, even if it can, the Tourism Bureau cannot afford the consequences, and their society cannot afford the possible losses.
Now the psychic says that there are two levels of size, and it is impossible for a single-player game to occur.
"You mean, there are games of a higher level?" Ling Changye's expression also became slightly serious.
The psychic nodded, "I didn't know the president had participated in the internal test before, I just thought this was a warning from him. If what Xia Bai said is true, they may have experienced games of different sizes and difficulties during the internal test, and the game with the highest level is what the president is most resistant to, and it may be the game in which he dies."
Xia Bai swallowed the shredded potatoes and said, "It was this game that gave the president the idea that the game was irresistible."
The problem is that the beta game has not actually come to reality, so there is no reference for the size. What is the size of the largest game?
Ling Changye said: "If a small game is a dormitory, a large game is a school, and an extra-large game may be a large district or even a city."
A city.
Then it is not just a few hundred or thousands of people, it is hundreds of thousands, millions, or even tens of millions.
What would happen if there were several more rounds of super-large games?
The psychic sneered, "I told you that humans can't compete with games, right? There are only a very small number of smart and skilled players in this world. If every city is involved in a super-large game, how many of you humans will be left after this round?"
"No, no." Xia Bai put down his chopsticks and refuted his point of view. "After completing a large map, the small maps of this city will decrease and rarely appear again. If you complete another super large game, then the large maps of other cities may not appear again, and the small games of the next level will not appear either. The game may be controlled by one level at a time..."
“This is not despair, but hope. Perhaps this is the hope of mankind, the hope born out of despair.”
The psychic was stunned.
Ling Changye said: "It is possible."
Xia Bai said to him, "Captain, do you want to tell Director Wang about this? Just say that it was contributed by the vice president of the Shengyou Guild."
Psychic: “…”
Just after finishing his meal, Ling Changye told Director Wang about the possible existence of a super-large game.
Old Wang was finally relieved. He felt that Ling Changye must not have gone to the Shengyou Guild, but had brought back the vice president of the Shengyou Guild.
The psychic has been sitting on the sofa without saying a word since he finished his meal. No one knows what he is thinking about.
Xia Bai asked him: "What are you doing?"
The psychic asked: "Do you really believe that humans can eventually defeat the game?"
Xia Bai: "...Is your second view finally starting to waver?"
The psychic snorted coldly, "How is that possible? I'll just watch you bang your heads against the south wall and die."
Xia Bai: "Oh. I'm going to bed."
Because the psychic's communication is most effective when the subject is sleeping, they decided that Xia Bai would go to sleep first, and Ling Changye would watch by his side, allowing the psychic to communicate with him after he fell asleep.
Before going to bed, Xia Bai gave the psychic a few pictures, "If you find them, take a closer look."
The paintings are all repainted by Xia Bai of his family's gods of happiness.
When Xia Bai put on his earplugs and went to sleep, the psychic was looking at several paintings over and over again. One of them looked more and more familiar to him, and when he saw Ling Changye coming out of the bedroom, he suddenly remembered who it was.
Ling Changye's father, Ling Mu, was a wealthy man known to everyone at that time.
The psychic was a little surprised. It was not difficult to guess that the people Xia Bai asked him to focus on should be the ones who participated in the game's internal testing with him. Their president was one of them. Unexpectedly, Ling Changye's father was also one of them.
Indeed, Ling Mu disappeared without a clear explanation that year, and it is very likely that he was taken away for internal testing.
However, he did not expect that Ling Changye was also related to this matter, and he had always behaved so calmly.
Ling Changye pointed to the bedroom, indicating that he could go in to communicate with the spirit.
The psychic put down the portrait, walked quietly into Xia Bai's bedroom, and under Ling Changye's supervision, he communicated with Xia Bai again.
There was blood everywhere in sight.
There were patches of red splattered on the wall, and the shapes looked like large streams of blood spurting out. There was also blood flowing on the floor, which was sticky and bloody, and there were footprints on it.
A man with blood-stained hair was sitting next to the boy. "Little brother, what should I use from your body? Your eyes are pretty, your hands are pretty, and your handwriting is pretty. Forget it, your body is good, and you are the healthiest and youngest here, so I'll use your body as the model."
"As for me, I will use my heart so that you can feel my heart."
"Don't worry, little brother. Our family will be together forever soon."
He took a lot of hair and sewed it onto his head, took pieces of skin and stuck them onto his body, and cut open his chest...
*
In the poor village, the autumn wind is bleak.
Several dishevelled people were sitting around the fire. Looking closely, there were several familiar faces.
The oldest woman rubbed her hands and asked, "After leaving the game, what would you most want to do and what would you definitely do first?"
"Go propose to my girlfriend! I will die with regret if I don't marry her. Oh, I hate it. We should have gotten married, but I delayed it because of work."
"I went to the nursing home to pick up my mom and played a nursing home game. I became PTSD to that nursing home... Well, actually, I think having family members around is probably the happiest thing in the world."
"Indeed, the first thing I do when I get home is to kiss my wife and hug my son. To be honest, I haven't hugged my son since he was seven years old. Of course, it's not that there's something wrong with our relationship, but my son is becoming more and more independent and doesn't like being hugged anymore."
…
As they spoke one by one, in their imagination, happy expressions appeared on their faces.
Only one boy remained silent from beginning to end.
Someone asked him: "Xiaobai, what about you?"
The boy pursed his lips but still said nothing.
The middle-aged man next to him patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Xiaobai, come home with me. My wife and I have always wanted to have another child, but due to health reasons, we were unable to do so. I often told Xiaobai that our son would be a good brother."
"Also, my family is quite wealthy, so we can raise Xiaobai to be plump and white."
The boy laughed, "Thank you, Uncle Ling."
*
It was bloody again.
In the ruined city, the young man sat slumped on the ground, half hugging a lifeless person covered in blood.
That person was the one he called Uncle Ling.
There were several corpses around him, all of whom were people who were roasting fire with him.
The young man raised his head as if he had no soul, his eyelashes stained with blood. The morning sun he saw was half blood red, which stimulated him so much that he had to reach out and cover his eyes with his hands with difficulty.
The morning sun rose slowly, illuminating the dilapidated city with only one person. The light gradually condensed together, forming a path of light that led to an unknown place.
The psychic opened his eyes.
Each time, his psychic communication could never last more than twenty minutes, and the images he saw were limited each time.
Many people are unwilling to be communicated with by him, because they all know that there are secrets in their souls that they don't want others to know. But in fact, the souls of most of them are nothing good. Some people even have empty souls, and there are not many things in their lives that can be engraved in their souls.
Xia Bai was the first person who took the initiative to let him communicate with spirits. Normally, such a person should live an open life and have only warm thoughts in his soul. This is the kind of soul that a psychic is most reluctant to see.
Unexpectedly, his soul is the most informative and worth seeing.
After watching it twice, I found that the psychic would also fall silent when he just finished his skill.
He is really different from his name. He is not a rookie or a naive person, and nothing in his short life is wasted.
Seeing that his spiritual communication had ended, Ling Changye signaled him to leave.
The two returned to the living room together, and Ling Changye said, "Tell me in detail."
The psychic asked, "Aren't you going to wait for Xia Bai? Didn't you say that after the psychic session was over, you would ask Xia Bai to get up and talk to him?"
"Let him continue sleeping. Tell me first and I'll tell him tomorrow morning." Ling Changye said.
The psychic didn't say it directly, but asked: "Is your father Ling Mu also captured to test the game?"
"I think so." Ling Changye asked, "Did you see him?"
The psychic nodded and asked again: "What is your relationship with Xia Bai?"
Ling Changye said frankly: "Couple, I am his boyfriend."
The psychic, who had been suppressed by them, suddenly felt relieved. He sneered, "Do you know that your father wants Xia Bai to be your brother?"
Ling Changye: “…”
The psychic said with a half smile: "Your father said he wanted to adopt Xia Bai, and Xia Bai agreed. This fact is in his soul, which means that he really wants to be your father's son. He really wants to be your father's son. And you... your father didn't find a child bride for you."
Ling Changye still couldn't speak.
The psychic asked, as if he was watching a good show: "Will you tell Xia Bai the truth?"
The next day, Ling Changye asked Xia Bai first: "You drew my dad in the family tree as a father. Do you really want to be his son?"
Xia Bai finished brushing her teeth slowly, spit out the bubbles in her mouth, and said, "I used to be like that, but now I want to be more like him...ah, how should I put it, it means son-in-law. They say a son-in-law is half a son, he can have both a father and a husband, how great is that."
The psychic who was leaving just happened to hear this and snorted coldly.
Ling Changye laughed, and then told him what the psychic saw last night.
The first thing he talked about was the part where his father wanted to adopt Xia Bai as his son.
Xia Bai sighed: "It was destined that I would call you dad, and now it has come true."
Psychic: “…”
I feel heartbroken for Ling Mu.
He said: "Ling Mu may not want to hear such a father."
Xia Bai: "How do you know he doesn't want to? Dad likes me so much. If I marry Captain Ling, he might be happier. Then we'll be a family forever."
The psychic didn't want to talk anymore.
After saying this, Ling Changye had breakfast and talked to Xia Bai while sending Xia Bai to school. The psychic didn't know whether he said the first paragraph to Xia Bai on the way.
Ling Changye didn't say that after sending Xia Bai back, he also asked the psychic not to tell Xia Bai about the fragments of Xia Bai's life in the castle for the time being.
The psychic refused, "It's stated in the contract that I must tell Xia Bai everything I saw truthfully."
"It's not that I don't want you to tell him, I just want you to wait for a few days until Xia Bai has recognized his parents before telling him." Ling Changye said.
The psychic had been informed that he would go with them to look for Xia Bai's relatives tomorrow. Ling Changye told him truthfully that he was going to look for Xia Bai's parents. Because of his honesty, the psychic softened his attitude and asked, "Why?"
Ling Changye said: "Otherwise, Xia Bai will be very uncomfortable these days. If he has experienced a lot of suffering, I hope he will know when he has to fight against many forces."
The psychic was stunned for a moment, then sat back on the sofa and stopped talking.
Because he didn't download the game this week, Lin Xiang felt it was strange and called Xia Bai to ask what was going on.
Xia Bai, who had been relaxed all the time, showed a little silence at this time. When Lin Xiang asked nervously again, he said: "Lin Xiang, I'm going to see my parents this weekend... I'm not sure yet, maybe my parents."
Lin Xiang opened his eyes wide in surprise. He had always known that Xia Bai had no parents since childhood. "What's going on?"
Xia Bai said, "The captain scanned a photo in the information system. It looks like I was in a missing child case when I was 24 years old. We plan to go and take a look. By the way, my grandfather is not my biological grandfather. He has no children, so he lied to me when he said my parents were dead." Lin Xiang was confused by all these things. After a while, he said, "It's good news, Xia Bai, you may have parents! That's great, Xia Bai!"
Xia Bai said "hmm".
Lin Xiang could tell that he was in a bad mood and asked him, "What's wrong, Xia Bai?"
Xia Bai tapped the phone case with his index finger twice, "Lin Xiang, how are you going to get along with your parents?"
Lin Xiang suddenly felt very uncomfortable, so uncomfortable that his eyes turned red even though he was a 190cm tall boy.
He thought that getting along with parents was something that everyone was born with. In his mind, Xia Bai was an almighty college bully.
Lin Xiang said, "Don't be nervous. It's like this. You may not know how to get along with them now, but you will know it naturally when you meet them. It's innate. If you still don't know how to get along with them, I'll tell you a way. Just treat them as Grandpa Xia. I've seen you get along with Grandpa Xia. You treat him like a qualified son treats his parents."
After hearing what he said, Xia Bai felt much more at ease now that he had a reference and method.
Lin Xiang said: "Xia Bai, I wish you good luck. You are going to have parents. I am really happy for you."
Xia Bai said, "Thank you. They have been looking for me for so many years. I will go find them."
Jiang Yitong and Jiang Qingfeng originally settled in Bac Ninh City, a typical northern city. In deep winter, the cold wind is not only biting but also very fierce, and even smaller children can be blown down.
In order to escape such bad weather, they go on vacation to an island in the south every year, and they are there during this period.
So, they also have to take a plane to the island.
Winter is the peak tourism season on southern islands. When Xia Bai got off the plane, he saw tourists coming and going in suspenders and shorts. A tropical warmth blew in his face, along with the scent of coconut grove and sea breeze.
Xia Bai stood there for a long time without moving.
Ling Changye turned around and saw it.
Since getting on the plane, Xia Bai would be distracted from time to time, but it didn't seem like he was distracted.
Ling Changye glanced at the psychic who was using a disguise prop and said, "In order to avoid further discussion, let's disguise ourselves like the psychic."
He saw that Xia Bai was obviously much more relaxed after hearing this, and he said: "I have several faces of Bald Liu Qiang, Captain, do you have any disguise props?"
Ling Changye: "Don't worry, I have it too."
"Wait, how come you have Liu Qiang's face?" asked the psychic. Liu Qiang is a veteran player of their Shengyou Guild.
Xia Bai glanced at him without saying anything, and went to the bathroom with Ling Changye to pretend.
Ling Changye quickly disguised himself. His body did not change, it was still his own body, only his face changed. It was a face that looked very bookish, very pleasing to the eye, yet not too conspicuous.
Xia Bai hadn't come out for a long time, and Ling Changye knew that he might be carefully choosing a face. With a layer of disguise, he wouldn't be recognized by his parents at first sight, which would make him feel much more relaxed. At the same time, he might not want to have a face that people would dislike at first sight. He might want to leave a good first impression, even if it was a fake first impression.
Ling Changye waited patiently and finally heard the toilet door open. Then he saw a beautiful woman.
Ling Changye: “…”
There was no need to mock Lao Qian so recklessly at that time.
Ling Changye walked over and held his hand, and finally chose Xia Bai, who looked a little timid.
Thinking about the various experiences he had that he himself might not even be aware of, Ling Changye understood his timidity very well.
I hope I won’t lose again this time.
