Chapter 86
When Bai Yun came to his senses from his random thoughts, he always felt that there was something strange in the way Ogkotsu Yuta looked at him.
Although Bai Yun is not actually familiar with Otsutsuki Yuta, considering that the other party is Gojo Satoru's student, and is the most brainwashed one, and even in [Infinite Moon Reading], he was enrolled in the Uchiha class...
Bai Yun did not have any expectations about the reliability of Yukotsu Yuta's thoughts at this time.
Finally, the few people decided to split the troops into two groups - originally it should have been divided into three groups, but the two of them discussed something when Bai Yun was lost in thought, and finally they all agreed that it would be better to send Okkotsu Kyouta and Bai Yun to act together.
When Bai Yun asked about it, Gojo Satoru simply explained: "If you act alone, what if you see something you want, but you reach into your pocket and don't have any money?"
Gojo Satoru's expression at this moment was as if he was worried that the old man who had finally gone out would not be able to enjoy himself.
——And they may be the kind of people who are very successful when they are young, but cannot keep up with the times when they are old, and have a lot of cash in their hands, but are at a loss when it comes to online payments.
So specific as to be offensive.
Bai Yun was actually just in her twenties before being picked up by the blind actor system, and was actually only slightly more worried than Yu Ke.
Now seeing the kid's face full of sudden realization, and then frantically rummaging through his wallet, and showing a look of shock when he discovered there were "only" a few tens of thousands of yen in it, Bai Yun felt a little complicated for a moment.
On the other side, Okkotsu was silent for two seconds, took back his wallet, and said seriously, "I'm going to go out for a while."
Bai Yun had a bad feeling in his heart: "...Where are you going?"
"Go get the money."
Otsukotsuki Yuta said calmly: "Don't worry, Mr. Kakashi. I have been on a mission for a year and I have saved some money."
"It just so happens that I have learned how to teleport, so it won't take long for me to get to the nearest bank. Please just wait for a moment."
Not really, not really.
Although Bai Yun, as an actor, does enjoy receiving gifts, he would never ask an underage child to use his hard-earned money to buy him a gift, okay!!!
Seeing that Yuta was looking around and planning to find a small corner where no one was and take off, Bai Yun quickly grabbed his arm and tried to stop him, "No, I'm not that interested in the things at the ceremony."
"Is that so..."
There was still a hint of hesitation in Yuta Okkotsu's expression, but under Bai Yun's insistence, he finally compromised.
Even so, he did not give up completely: "But if you want anything, please feel free to ask."
As if he was afraid that Bai Yun would refuse, Otsutsuki Yuta added, "You may not be aware that we now have the concept of intellectual property rights. For someone like me who has profited from the method you and Obito came up with, it is only right that I give you a certain amount of compensation."
Although he knew what the other party meant, Bai Yun, who was clearly wearing a ninja's vest but had been completely disfigured by his brain, felt unprecedentedly guilty for a moment.
He subconsciously looked at the culprit who caused the current situation. Gojo Satoru seemed very satisfied with Bai Yun's predicament. When he met his eyes, he smiled and waved his hand: "Then it's settled.
"See you later."
After saying this, Gojo Satoru disappeared into the crowd at a rapid speed, as if he was afraid that Bai Yun would try to keep him.
Bai Yun looked at the other person's back and realized belatedly that the other person seemed to want her and Okkotsu Yuta to be alone for a while.
But why?
Bai Yun thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so he finally gave up.
He waited for a while, and when he turned around, Okkotsu Yuta had already adjusted his mentality.
"Then let's go too."
"Um."
Then the two of them continued to wander around.
Bai Yun has been trying to simulate Gojo Satoru's thinking, and has been thinking seriously about how to use the existing intelligence to provide corresponding guidance, so as to open up Gojo Satoru's mind and achieve his goal of "leaving this world as soon as possible."
——And Otsutsuki Yuta was worriedly thinking about how to make "Hatake Kakashi" live longer.
Although both sides didn't communicate much because they had their own thoughts, since neither Otsukuota nor "Hatake Kakashi" were talkative people, if they had to talk, the atmosphere around them was not that awkward.
After going around in circles twice, Bai Yun finally returned to the position of the sacred tree float.
With other stalls operating relatively normally, this float became the only clue in Bai Yun's hands.
At this time, a staff member was checking the status of the props on the sacred tree. Bai Yun took the initiative to approach and asked politely: "Excuse me, who made that float?"
Bai Yun had done some research before and found out that the only officially organized activity for this celebration was to worship the sacred tree together when the moon rose.
And because the authorities have not been able to come up with a definite origin story for the sacred tree, the mayor, who wants to please everyone, simply cleared out a large amount of time to allow all "schools" to bid freely. The successful ones will eventually form a team and can promote their own ideas at their own time.
Although it felt like a cult meeting, the economy of City C really did grow like this. In order to avoid malicious bidding, the owner behind each float was kept secret and only the staff responsible for verification knew it.
Although under normal circumstances, the staff would not easily tell others this kind of inside information...but isn't this still an illusion?
The staff member turned around. He was wearing a mask and a hat, and sniffed from time to time. After seeing Bai Yun and Yuta Okkotsu, he squinted his eyes and looked at the two of them carefully.
"Why do you want to know?"
Bai Yun raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn't expect that this matter could actually be discussed.
After all, in this kind of situation, workers should just answer "no comment", right?
Bai Yun and Otsukotsuki Yuta looked at each other and then started talking nonsense: "To be honest, I always thought there should be something hanging on the sacred tree, but everyone said it was just my illusion and the sacred tree has been like this since the beginning."
After hearing this, the staff member's eyes suddenly changed: "Do you feel like you had a very long dream?"
Bai Yun pretended to be surprised and asked, "How do you know?"
"Because we all have been like this."
Bai Yun immediately grasped the key word and deliberately said, "'We' means, are there still many people like this?"
The staff member was hooked. He sighed, subconsciously stroked the mini sacred tree in his hand, and slowly began to explain.
It turns out that this group of people who still have some memories, especially those who have irreparable regrets about the real world, and therefore particularly yearn for the world in [Infinite Moon Reading], have been connected through the Internet early on, and have now become a small group of initial scale.
The sacred tree float is like a lighthouse. After seeing the signal, people who are obsessed with their illusory dreams will naturally find ways to gather together.
Bai Yun asked: "What do you want to do after the gathering?"
“I haven’t decided yet.”
The insider made no attempt to hide the truth: "At the moment, we are considering sneaking past the defense line and looking for clues directly under the sacred tree."
If something is lost, you should start looking for it from the place where it was lost. There is nothing wrong with their idea, but the problem is: the sacred tree is surrounded by the authorities.
Although the sentence is not severe, it is still a violation of the law to some extent.
Under normal circumstances, by analogy, they would be equivalent to entering the jungle without permission. As long as they did not cause any substantial damage to the sacred tree, they would generally be reported and criticized and that would be the end of the matter.
But now they have a science buff.
Without anyone knowing, they entered a no-man's land filled with strange rumors. Even if they were not completely wiped out or collectively missing, they would most likely be involved in a serial murder case.
Although he was not sure what the specific circumstances of the case would be, Bai Yun had already realized that he had to intervene.
After all, wasn't Gojo Satoru thinking about how Uchiha Madara would deal with people who were involved in the case but whose crimes did not deserve the death penalty?
There is a high probability that there will be such people in this small group. If they are affected and killed, then in the eyes of Gojo Satoru and others, wouldn’t “Uchiha Madara” become “an extreme person who will kill people directly if they have the slightest flaw”?
OOC is a small matter. If the world consciousness really believes it, it will be a big deal.
Thinking of this, Bai Yun tried to get close to this insider: "Can you take me with you?"
"Of course, otherwise why would I tell you this? Is it so that you can report me?"
The insider glanced at him and said, "The first moment I saw you, I knew you were one of us."
"We have all experienced the despair that comes with losing everything."
Bai Yun was stunned for a moment after hearing this, but he quickly concealed it. It was not until they agreed on a time to set out together that he found time to be distracted for a moment.
Bai Yun was actually a little surprised when he heard the other party's evaluation.
"Hatake Kakashi" is indeed worthy of such an evaluation, but Bai Yun did not actually increase the matching degree of the vest at that time.
So in his opinion, that comment... was an unconscious recognition of his own acting skills!
This must be the result of his change in mentality after being tortured by Gojo Satoru! The Movie King system is not lying! Immersive experience is really a shortcut to progress!
Although it was concealed well, this obvious change in emotion was still caught by Okkotsu Yuta.
He carefully recalled the turning point of "Hatake Kakashi's" emotions.
It seemed like it was when that insider formally asked him to go to the sacred tree together? He didn't even care about the place that should have been touched.
What would make a person who has very little time left and has, in some ways, lost the will to live feel better?
Otsutsuki thought about it for a long time, simulating countless possibilities, and finally realized that he might have got the cause and effect logic wrong.
"Hatake Kakashi" might not be oblivious to being poked in the sore spot.
Quite the contrary, this was probably the reason why his mood finally improved.
He had apparently accepted and even looked forward to his own death.
This realization made Otsutsuki very sad. Although his past was not as tragic as "Hatake Kakashi", he had similar feelings.
He wanted to persuade the other party to look forward, but at the same time, Otkotsu Yuta realized that as a stranger, his words were completely unconvincing.
While thinking about who to choose to persuade "Hatake Kakashi", the face of "Uchiha Obito" occupied Otsukotsu Yuta's mind without a doubt.
The young special-grade sorcerer took a deep breath: Based on the relationship between these two people, "Uchiha Obito" will definitely not let "Hatake Kakashi" destroy himself.
So what Otsutsukoshi Yuta has to do now is to find his ancestor and then tell the other party the status of "Hatake Kakashi" truthfully.
Not only did they complain to me, but I had no idea about it (shaking head.jpg)
And in order to avoid being OOC, I have to play myself (continue shaking head.jpg)
