The quaint mahogany bookshelf was filled with stacks of books, and in the glass cabinet in the middle were Mr. Bai's collections. The bronze sculptures of animal heads stared ferociously at the people in the study.
Lawyer Chen pulled out a document from the locked safe:
"Then I will now read out the will made by Mr. Bai before his death."
The eldest young master nodded in greeting while sitting in a wheelchair.
Grace stood a little further away from them, not daring to sit down.
The Third Young Master sat down on the brown leather sofa without any hesitation. Lawyer Chen cleared his throat and said:
"Currently, all the companies, properties, real estate, stocks, bonds owned by the Bai family...all belong to the Third Young Master."
...I don’t know what Su Yi is doing.
Bai Shen listened absentmindedly. He had no interest in the boring will, but it was a system plot mission that he could not refuse.
...Su Yi was alone with the magician. He was wearing such a heavy wedding dress that it was inconvenient for him to move. If something happened to him, he would not be able to escape.
Young Master Bai became annoyed when he thought about this, his brows furrowed.
That bridal outfit must be uncomfortable to wear. There’s so much lace on the dress that I don’t know if it will prick Su Yi. He even has to wear stockings on his legs. Will he feel uncomfortable?
...I don't know what color those stockings are.
It should be white.
It just matches the snow-white wedding dress. Bai Shen thought randomly, there are so many laces on the wedding dress, maybe there will be laces on the matching stockings too, and the complicated laces will wrap around the delicate thighs...
Bai Sanshao suddenly became curious about the workmanship of the lace. If it was not delicate enough, it would definitely prick Su Yi. This guy had sensitive skin before, and a mosquito bite would cause redness and swelling for a week. Being tied up with those cheap and low-quality lace stockings, his thighs must be red.
——You have to take it off sooner.
Bai Shen's Adam's apple rolled, and he felt a surge of heat running through his chest. He reached out and untied his tight suit tie, interrupting the reading of the will in a bad tone:
"Why is this room so hot?"
"Ah? Is it hot? Then turn the air conditioner down a bit." Just as Lawyer Chen finished speaking, the smart voice-activated air conditioner in the Bai family's study made a beeping sound.
"Current air conditioning temperature: 18 degrees, are you sure you want to lower it further?"
Lawyer Chen: “…”
He couldn't figure out how Bai Shen could feel hot from this temperature.
Young Master Bai standing by seemed to have seen through everything, and said quietly: "Third brother, if you calm down, you will feel cool."
Bai Sanshao sat on the sofa impatiently, watching Lawyer Chen reading the will. He flipped through the white documents page by page, like layers of wedding dresses. Before his eyes, he seemed to see red and tender legs tied with two white stockings, with white and redundant lace dangling around his legs...
Bai Sanshao was upset. After all, it was none of his business. Should he ask the bride eagerly: "Is it uncomfortable for you to wear? Do you want me to help you take it off?"
Bai Shen couldn't say such shameless words.
...Forget it, leave him alone. Lace is prickly, and if that guy is really uncomfortable wearing it, he will definitely come to him with eager eyes to beg him to take it off.
After all, he was the only player above level 100 in the entire venue.
The other players are lower level than him, and he is the only one who has the privilege of [free dressing and undressing], so no one can help Su Yi with this.
...That magician doesn't seem to have a clear level.
Now I am alone with Su Yi.
A feeling of uneasiness and anxiety surged in his heart. The clock in the study was ticking, ticking, and every tick of the slender second hand stabbed his heart. Bai Sanshao frowned again, and his voice was a little impatient:
"Have you finished my part?"
Lawyer Chen held a thick stack of will documents and nodded: "I have finished reading it. Oh, yes, just sign it here."
Bai Shen took it and signed it directly.
Lawyer Chen: "Why don't you listen to other inheritance distributions? Especially what property the eldest son got, it might be useful for your subsequent plot."
Bai Shen: "I have something to do. I'll leave first."
Lawyer Chen thought, what could be so urgent? Even if you want to kill a ghost, you have to wait until night.
With a click, the study door closed.
Young Master Bai looked calm and said, "Keep reading."
Lawyer Chen lowered his head and turned to the next page of the document. He frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong, but he could only read the words written on the paper:
"Mr. Bai's gold reserves in R Bank, as well as the Pa Island under his name, all belong to the eldest young master."
[Fuck, the Bai family has so many boxes of gold, right? All of them belong to the eldest son? And also Pa Island? ! ! ]
Lawyer Chen saw a large number of comments pop up on his small TV:
[How is this possible! The plot introduction says that there is a gold mine on Pa Island! It is the most valuable asset of the Bai family. It must be given to the legitimate heir, the third young master. How could it be given to the disabled eldest young master?]
[There is definitely something fishy going on here. Damn, Bai Shen actually missed such important information!]
[What on earth is he rushing to do? He's preparing to kill ghosts in the evening? ? ? ]
[Whispering, I really don't like watching Baishen. I don't know why he is so popular. He is so out of character when playing script-killing games. He doesn't even memorize the key plots, and doesn't act with other players. He is too lazy to recite his lines, and doesn't do much reasoning. He is just busy killing ghosts every day. The viewing experience is really bad, and he gets angry and bans the entire live broadcast room at the slightest provocation. The audience owes him this]
[Is it because of you that I am so funny? Who do you think you are? If you don’t like it, don’t watch it. Baishen makes money by killing ghosts and leveling up, and he doesn’t need popularity. Some people should not curse Baishen while rushing to pay attention to other people’s small TVs]
Young Master Bai sat there motionless as a mountain, took the island ownership transfer document that belonged to him with a smile, and signed it.
[Ahhhh it’s over, Paradis Island has really been given to the young master!! Bai Shen still doesn’t know anything! I’m so anxious, @白神@白神@白神]
[Mr. Bai’s smile is so sinister. Will our Bai Shen be plotted against? I’m so anxious. What on earth is he doing?]
[I really want to send a comment to tell him, but everyone on his TV is muted. Is there any other player's TV that can see where Baishen is? Every time he goes to a dungeon, I worry about him for fear that he will miss some clues...]
[Emmmmmm, have you ever thought that Bai Shen may not really care about the plot, or the truth about the murderer, he just wants to kill ghosts. Didn't he say before that he chose to kill ghosts because he was looking for something, which must be more important to him, so don't worry about it every day.]
"Everyone is very enthusiastic." Lawyer Chen pushed up his reflective glasses and said to the commentator, "But this is my little TV. Bai Shen just left. If you want to continue the discussion, you can let him go."
"Go watch the bride's little TV."
Young Master Bai's eyes were obscure and difficult to understand, but he smiled and said, "Maybe you will make some new discoveries."
——By the way, it can also increase Su Yi's popularity. If there is any discovery, it can also be fed back to him in real time through the audience's barrage.
Bai Shen walked along the long corridor with one hand in his pocket. The light and shadow of the setting sun outside the window changed, giving this Gothic church a mysterious color.
He hurried to the round table conference room, wondering whether Su Yi was still there or... where he had been taken by the magician.
The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and the faster he walked. He was wearing the new sneakers he had bought from the System Mall, and he walked very easily and briskly.
Come to think of it, the wedding shoes that come with the bride's outfit should also be difficult to wear.
Bai Shen paused. It was indeed a bit abrupt for him to rush over to find Su Yi like this.
He thought about it, opened the system mall, and selected [Men's Shoes]
Taking off shoes is not as sensitive as taking off stockings and wedding dresses. Su Yi should not refuse to change into a pair of comfortable shoes.
In just a few seconds, Bai Shen had already thought of what to say to Su Yi. He said that tonight's wedding might be haunted, and that as a bride, she would be unable to move around easily if she wore ill-fitting shoes. It just so happened that the system mall had a buy one get one free sale on this pair of shoes, so he could give him the extra pair that was useless.
His fingertips slid across the screen, and soon, Bai Shen found a pair of white shoes that he liked, a style that Su Yi liked very much when he was in high school.
He had not forgotten the size he wore.
Finger click [Buy]
[Ding——Are you sure you want to spend 800 gold coins to buy this [Lightweight White Shoes]? ]
【Sure】
A pair of brand new and elegant white shoes were put into Bai Shen's backpack.
The round table conference room was empty.
Maid Lin, planner Peng and the old pastor went to the wedding venue to set up the venue, and suddenly only Su Yi and the magician were left in the huge space.
"Why are you so far away from me?"
The magician laughed teasingly, "I won't eat you."
He turned and walked towards Su Yi, his leather shoes making a regular "tap, tap, tap" sound on the ground.
The weird smile on the clown's mask was getting closer and closer. Su Yi stepped back unconsciously, and when he reached the wall, he could no longer retreat. He wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere:
"You were in front of me...why did you ask me to be careful about the wedding?"
His legs were tangled up in the hair before, and when the magician was helping him clean up the hair, he took the opportunity to write four words on his legs: Be careful at the wedding.
——What should I be careful about?
"You are the most vulnerable bride in this dungeon, and you received a death warning in blood. Is it abnormal for me to ask you to be careful?"
Su Yi: "Even if you don't tell me, I know all this myself."
“Oh~”
The magician walked up to Su Yi, propped himself up against the wall with one hand, and leaned down, casting a shadow on Su Yi:
"Well, I just want to write something on your leg, is that not okay?"
…? !
…Why is this person like this!
Su Yi was teased by him and had nowhere to escape. Although the magician looked thin, his powerful arms were as hard as steel like those of the young master. They stood in front of him like a mountain that could not be crossed.
His frail body since childhood made him unable to resist any gap in physical fitness. Su Yi was like a lamb driven into a corner by a shotgun, with a sense of helplessness in his eyes.
The magician saw this expression of half excitement and half reluctance. He immediately withdrew his arm and softened his voice:
"Okay, I'm just kidding, don't be afraid.
"You are so smart, you should know that if I really want to do something to you, can you run away? You are wearing slippers, it is difficult for you to walk, right?"
Su Yi lowered his head and said nothing. He had taken off his wedding shoes that hurt his feet in the basement lounge. After the young master shot the assailant, the system notified him to go to the round table conference room. He didn't have time to put on the wedding shoes again, so he just took a pair of slippers from the cloakroom.
"I saw this when I was cleaning your hair. These slippers are a bit too big for you. They are not comfortable to wear, right?" The magician opened his system mall and selected [Men's Shoes].
"It's better to change into a pair of sneakers. Hey, how about this pair of white shoes? They suit you well."
Su Yi looked up and saw that this style... was exactly the style he had always liked to wear.
"Very good. Wait..."
He suddenly noticed the price tag on the shoes: 800 gold coins.
——It’s too expensive! He can’t afford it at all.
"...I don't want this pair, let's change..." Before Su Yi finished speaking, he heard a clang -
The magician's system made a series of crisp sounds of gold coins falling to the ground: [Purchase successful! 800 gold coins were deducted from the balance, and you have obtained [Lightweight White Shoes]~]
Sizzle——
The magician dragged a chair to Su Yi and motioned him to sit down:
"Your skirt is so big, it's inconvenient for you to wear it yourself."
He knelt on one knee very skillfully, holding the brand new white shoes, and knelt at the edge of Su Yi's skirt:
"Let me help you put it on."
,
The heavy wedding dress was lifted up layer by layer, like a blooming flower bud, gradually revealing the scenery inside the skirt.
The delicate little feet were wrapped in white stockings and held in the magician's hands.
He observed it carefully, as seriously as if he was observing the key evidence in a case. The white stockings were stretched to be somewhat translucent, revealing the flesh-pink toes underneath.
"What are you...looking at?"
Su Yi shrank back. He felt embarrassed to be stared at his feet like this. He bent his arch and tried to pull his feet back...
The magician's fingers were deft, and he pinched the soft soles of his feet in an instant:
"Don't move."
The wide skirt blocked Su Yi's view. He felt a little itchy on the soles of his feet. The magician pinched his feet with one hand and used the other hand to hold open the little white shoes and help him put them on. His movements were extremely patient and gentle, as if he was holding a piece of glass.
The white silk on my feet is very delicate, and it is very smooth to put on the shoes, just like Cinderella wearing crystal shoes, they fit perfectly.
Su Yi felt something was a little strange: "How do you know...my shoe size?"
"Guessed." The magician smiled mysteriously, "There's still one foot that's not worn. Come on."
He gently spread out his palms, as if asking Su Yi to lift her feet up and put them in his hands.
...This is too weird! Su Yi refused, and he quickly bent down to put on his shoes. The magician seemed angry, and grabbed his ankle and held his foot forcefully with his hands!
"Hmm." Su Yi cried out softly. The soles of his feet were itchy. This magician... seemed to be a pervert. Why couldn't he get along with his feet?
He was about to scold him when he suddenly heard the magician sigh.
There seemed to be an... unspeakable sadness in this sigh.
The magician lowered his head and held his feet in his palms, so close that he almost kissed the back of his feet. Su Yi immediately became nervous, and his back of his feet straightened, afraid that the other party would really kiss him, as if... this had really happened before.
After waiting for a while, the room was quiet and nothing happened in the end.
The magician gently put the white shoes on Su Yi's foot and changed the subject:
"Tell me, you look so young, what happened to you that led to your death in a horror movie?"
“…”
Su Yi also wanted to know the opportunity for each player to enter the horror script-killing game. The magician had previously dug out the light screen information of Mr. Bai and his wife Grace. Mr. Bai died in a car accident, and Grace came in because of taking drugs, so she might not be dead in reality.
If we can collect the timings of each player coming in, we might be able to draw some patterns from them, and thus...
He stopped thinking and answered the magician vaguely:
"I was ill."
The magician has always been mysterious and never revealed anything. Perhaps we can take this opportunity to gather some information indirectly. Su Yi asked:
"What about you? How did you get in?"
The magician was still kneeling on one knee on the ground, with his head lowered, carefully helping Su Yi tie the laces of his little white shoes:
“I had a… the most important person in my life, and he was in surgery, and I was waiting for him outside the operating room.
"The red light during the operation was on all the time, and I just kept watching it. I don't know how long...
"When I came to my senses, I was already here."
Su Yi opened his mouth but said nothing. He didn't expect that such a frivolous-looking magician had such a story behind him.
The magician had a funny clown mask on his face, so Su Yi couldn't even see his expression. He only heard that his voice was deeper than usual, lacking his usual frivolousness.
——Before I could even wait for the results of an important person’s surgery, I was inexplicably thrust into some [thriller script-killing] game. That must have been a very torturous feeling.
"Then... did you wait for the results of the surgery?"
Su Yi asked softly, feeling some sympathy for the person in front of him, but he felt that the magician would not be able to know the result of the operation, because once he entered this script-killing game, he could not go back.
The magician knelt on one knee at the edge of the wedding dress, looking up at Su Yi like a groom proposing marriage. Under the mask of a clown's smile, he smiled bitterly:
"I probably know. It's not a good result."
This was the scene Bai Shen saw when he rushed to the round table conference room with his brand new shoes.
In the twilight, the magician knelt on the ground to help Su Yi put on her shoes as if he was proposing to her. They looked at each other, their eyes fixed, and talked to each other. Their voices were soft and gentle, like the whispers of lovers.
That pair of white shoes is the same style he bought.
Bai Shen hid behind the door and did not come in. He felt like there was a bloated balloon in his heart that was suddenly popped.
He recalled some things that happened before. Maid Lin had asked Su Yi if she had any ex-boyfriend.
Su Yi’s answer at that time was: I guess there was one, when I was in high school.
The tone was very reluctant, and she added: I don't have any feelings for my ex-boyfriend anymore.
He…didn't recognize him, didn't remember him, and didn't seem to need him much.
To him, everything that happened back then was probably just a joke of the King's game.
Bai Shen stood behind the door, his figure hidden in the shadow of the door. I don't know what magic the magician in the round table hall used to make Su Yi laugh, and his laughter was very sweet.
They sound really happy.
Bai Shen clenched his fingers, leaving a deep mark on the little white shoes. He turned around and left without saying a word.
He walked a long way in one breath before he stopped.
He was holding the pair of unnecessary shoes, standing in the empty corridor with a somewhat lost look on his face, his shadow stretched out by the setting sun.
Like a high school boy who was dumped by his first love when he graduated.
Finally, he turned on the light screen and threw the new shoes he had just bought for 800 gold coins into the trash can with a loud bang.
