After lying in bed for three days, Mingmei woke up and, after a check-up, found that there were no major problems. She returned to school, turned on her personal computer again, and spent most of the day just replying to messages.
Although the whole incident was not made public, most of the students at this school know about it.
Even Leng Youyou, who had already joined the army, sent a message to inquire about Mingmei's situation.
"Hey, what about news about my godfather and the others?"
After replying to a bunch of messages, including messages from her elderly parents who continued their trip after the Lunar New Year, Mingmei found it strange that her godfather, Liu Liu, who had always cared about her and almost wanted to become her die-hard fan, had suddenly stopped caring.
Even when Mingmei asked Guigui, she didn't know the answer.
However, because of this unusual situation, instead of asking Mingmei to do anything, Gui Gui went to find out information on her own, but in the end, she didn't get any useful information.
It seems that the secretarial system has been handling things on the mainframe side lately.
The mastermind and Liu Liu have disappeared.
Mingmei frowned, then contacted Lu Xiaoyao again.
"Huh? My boss?"
Lu Xiaoyao was an artist and anchor signed by Liu Liu. Although Lu Xiaoyao didn't have frequent contact with Liu Liu, Mingmei knew that Lu Xiaoyao could contact Liu Liu.
After all, if Liu Liu hadn't revealed some of her own power to bring a marshal's granddaughter into the business as a livestreamer, would Marshal Lu have agreed to it in the first place?
"I don't know. Our boss doesn't usually contact us, and he doesn't pay our salaries personally. Who would pay attention to the boss for no reason?"
Lu Xiaoyao's carefree "working class" words suddenly made Mingmei's heart choke.
She suddenly remembered some jokes from the internet—the boss was in jail for over a year, but the employees were still going to work as usual _(：3」∠)_
So, did no one really notice her godfather's short-term disappearance?
After contacting Lu Xiaoyao, Mingmei naturally went to Meiqiu to raise her doubts.
"Godfather and the others..." Mei Qiu seemed to only just realize what Ming Mei meant after being reminded by Ming Mei.
Oh, he doesn't know either.
"Ask your older brother, he might know the answer to this."
Mei Qiu brought up someone that Mingmei had never thought of before.
How could her older brother, Ming Qi, a seemingly normal, devoted family man who always stays by his wife's side, know about this?
So, does her older brother also have a hidden identity?
"Godfather... it seems there is indeed a problem with the mainframe, but I think you can ask Uncle Ruan Ruan about it."
To Mingmei's surprise, her older brother actually knew about this matter and directly pointed out that Ruan Xun knew about it.
"It seems that Uncle Ruan Ruan received some news and left the research institute half a month ago. There is no information about his schedule online. It seems that the main brain godfather did something to him. I think Uncle Ruan Ruan should know about it."
Seeing how efficiently Mingqi was answering her questions while cooking, Mingmei, having learned the news, decided not to bother her older brother and immediately contacted Ruan Xun.
However, when she couldn't get through on video and couldn't contact anyone, Mingmei cleverly found Yan Hui again.
Unexpectedly, the moment the video call started, Yan Hui on the other end looked haggard, with a sinister and ruthless look in his eyes, which was quite frightening.
Even after noticing that the person opposite him was Mingmei, Yan Hui's expression didn't immediately come to a stop.
"Uncle, what's wrong?"
Mingmei rarely saw Yan Hui like this, and instead of mentioning Ruan Xun, she first showed concern for Yan Hui.
"No..." Just as he was about to subconsciously deny that nothing was wrong, Yan Hui changed the subject and asked, "Did you encounter the Zerg when you entered the game earlier?"
"Didn't you encounter it?"
Yan Hui's question left Mingmei completely bewildered.
Isn't this game something you invented yourself?
Don't you know how many games feature the Zerg?
"Is there anything abnormal about the Zerg?"
"Uncle, what aspect of it is abnormal?" Mingmei was completely confused by the question, but finally couldn't help asking, "Is there anything normal about your Zerg design?"
Yan Hui: "..."
"However, if Uncle has to say something's not right... don't you think it's a bit strange that you put some Zerg psychic entities into the game as NPCs? Like that game about Zerg cooking..."
Mingmei and the others still remembered the time when they were surrounded and chased by a group of insectoids for some ingredients.
Among the Zerg NPCs was a real Zerg, and they almost got discovered and killed along the way because of it.
"Uncle, is there a problem with the Zerg NPC in your game?"
Seeing Yan Hui's unusually silent expression, devoid of any joking or banter, Mingmei gasped in shock.
"Uncle, you're not kidding, are you? Has the Zerg NPC gone out of control? What exactly happened?"
As soon as Mingmei finished speaking, she saw Yan Hui's expression darken even further, and she couldn't quite process what he was saying.
"What will happen if this gets out of control? Uncle, you're the game's designer! Can't you handle it? This is your game, you...you..."
Mingmei talked for so long she almost didn't know what she was saying anymore, but in a flash, she suddenly realized something—
"Do my godfather and the others know about this?"
"I know."
After saying that, Yan Hui sighed.
Yan Hui rarely smokes, which means Ming Mei had never seen him smoke before. But now she saw Yan Hui suddenly take out a cigarette, light it, and put it in his mouth.
