Before she could call out her brother's real name, Lu Xiaoyao felt a blur before her eyes as a dark red figure flashed past and lifted the stray hairs on her forehead.
By the time she stood still, the dark red figure had already swept past where she had been standing. Lu Gui looked at the figure that had already moved away from them and entered the boxer's backstage area with an unfriendly expression.
"Just now……"
Lu Xiaoyao looked at Lu Gui uncertainly. Lu Gui's eyes darkened slightly. Just as that huge, indistinct figure swept past them, Lu Gui met those chilling eyes.
Those were inhuman eyes that he couldn't quite describe. The pale gold vertical pupils looked at him indifferently. In that instant, Lu Gui couldn't help but feel a surge of fear from the bottom of his heart. Even though he tried to break free, it took him several seconds to feel like he had fallen into an ice cave.
What kind of powerful and terrifying mental force could influence him like this?
"Who is this person?!"
Seeing that her brother hadn't said anything, Lu Xiaoyao became defiant and made a face at his departing figure.
If it weren't for her older brother, she probably would have been knocked to the ground by this big man.
"Let's go."
Lu Gui took a deep breath and ignored Lu Xiaoyao's complaints, leading her away without any intention of causing trouble.
Lu Xiaoyao wanted to say something more, but seeing the terrifying look in her brother's eyes, she immediately shut her mouth.
But Lu Xiaoyao, driven by curiosity, felt a pang of regret in an instant.
She should have used the meal box function to check that person's social relationships.
"Should we...?"
"There's no need."
Knowing what Lu Xiaoyao was planning to do, Lu Gui stopped her, glanced at the boxers' backstage area, then looked away and said, "If they're really that good, Mu Chen will take notice."
...
While players inside the game were working hard to adapt to everything and exploring clues and plot details, things were also quite lively outside the game.
"I want to play too."
When Lu Gui saw Hu Mingli sitting at his desk, the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily, and he sighed inwardly.
How did that innocent and passionate chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) boy grow up to be so distorted?
"Then go in."
"Then why don't you grant me access?" Hu Mingli scoffed at Yan Hui. "Is there anything I can't know?"
Yan Hui: "There are many more."
Hu Mingli's expression froze for a moment at Yan Hui's blunt answer.
"I've thought about it carefully, and what you said before was quite perfunctory." The more Hu Mingli pondered Yan Hui's explanation of the addictive game he had set up for the people in the alien sea, the more suspicious he felt.
"Rather than letting them indulge in normal emotions they've never experienced, I now think you're actually bringing them back on the right path?"
Hearing Hu Mingli's evaluation, Yan Hui almost couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Do you think I'm some kind of living saint?"
Hu Mingli didn't rush to give examples in response to Yan Hui's denial, but simply said, "Indeed, no one gets up early without a reason. You probably wouldn't do this if there were no benefit to it, so—what in the outer sea is worth all this trouble?"
"Really? Was it really that complicated?"
Yan Hui turned his head and blinked innocently at the other person, picked up the health pot next to him and poured himself a cup of hot water. He sat down on the sofa and looked at the gray-purple sky outside the French windows. He sighed, "Time really flies. In the passage of time, how many fugitives from the Empire have fled to outer space over the years?"
Seeing that Hu Mingli did not speak, Yan Hui did not wait for him to think, but instead spoke to himself: "Do you know how many people die in the Outer Star Sea every year?"
