Chapter 91
[The code name is a bit difficult, but you can try.]
Shen Yunzhe thought for a moment and said, "I don't know when we'll meet again."
[You'll see it after a good night's sleep.] The system said.
Shen Yunzhe was surprised, "What do you mean? I can take my abilities with me even if I take a nap?"
"What else?" the system asked him. "Where Codename Hope resides is not emptiness. There is nothing there except the embodiment of extreme emotions, including sleep and perception. What you see is reality, what you touch is also reality. That is Codename Hope, not a mere dream."
In fact, Shen Yunzhe also realized this.
After all, he had pinched Codename Hope's neck a moment ago, leaving red and purple marks on it. The next moment, Codename Hope came out with those marks on his neck as well.
He can actually come into contact with Codename Hope.
Shen Yunzhe had to start thinking about whether he also had some special abilities, such as being able to freely enter that strange space, or whether this so-called parallel world system was his ability, otherwise how could he be the only one who could contact his counterpart?
Things like this can always be figured out.
He happily controlled the doll to return to the cabinet, then went back to the bedroom to prepare for sleep. Since the system said so, how could he not give it a try?
He snuggled in the quilt and closed his eyes, and soon fell asleep. When he opened his eyes again, he saw Code Name Hope sitting on the other side.
Codename Hope was looking at him, and when he saw Shen Yunzhe looking at him, he smiled at him.
"Shen Yunzhe." Codename hoped to call his name, "You're here. It seems like I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you. If you don't come again, I'm going to look for you."
"Do you miss me?"
Shen Yunzhe looked at code name Hope and listened to his sweet words that sounded real and fake.
Shen Yunzhe thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure out why his colleague could casually say such shameful words.
Seeing that Shen Yunzhe neither answered nor refused, but just looked at him with a strange look, Codename Hope immediately floated up. He moved to Shen Yunzhe's side, and seeing that Shen Yunzhe did not refuse, he lay on him, holding Shen Yunzhe's waist tightly, as if hugging him and sucking him.
Shen Yunzhe pushed him and said, "You're too close."
"But I like it."
"I don't like it." Shen Yunzhe pinched his face, "It's boring."
"Aren't you sleeping? Would you feel stuffy while sleeping?" Code Name Hope didn't care and hugged her even tighter.
Shen Yunzhe narrowed his eyes slightly, his hand pinching the neck of Codename Hope, "Let go."
Unfortunately, Codename Hope was never afraid of Shen Yunzhe using violence against him. He didn't care about such a thing happening and even felt looking forward to it. Shen Yunzhe didn't pinch him either. He just experimented with his abilities bit by bit, controlling this unfamiliar ability to penetrate into this person's body bit by bit.
Shen Yunzhe believed that code name Xiwang had discovered it, and he even opened his eyes, but after looking at Shen Yunzhe for a few seconds, he closed them again and snuggled into Shen Yunzhe's arms.
The puppet's strings are tied one by one with the other party's consent, and finally each joint is hung up.
Shen Yunzhe grabbed a string and slowly pulled up the arm of codename Xiwang. Codename Xiwang opened his eyes and looked at his arm with some curiosity. He seemed not to care at all and just relaxed and followed the force of his body.
Just as he was in this atmosphere of no resistance, he was pulled up by the rope. Because he didn't want to move, he felt like he was being hung up.
His arms and legs hung limply in the air, as if they were tied tightly by invisible strings and suspended directly in the air.
"Shen Yunzhe, do you like this?" Codename Hope looked at Shen Yunzhe in confusion, "I'm being hung up."
Shen Yunzhe sat on the ground and looked at him, "You don't seem to care at all."
"Why do you care? Isn't this what you want to do?" Codename Hope laughed.
To be honest, the scene before Shen Yunzhe was a rather bizarre one.
The surroundings were pitch black, with nothing in sight. Codename hoped to glow in this environment, but even so, he was tied up and hung up by invisible strings. He didn't feel like it was intentional at all, but instead calmly let Shen Yunzhe do it.
His long silver hair hung on his arms, and his already delicate face exuded a lustful aura in this state.
"You still want me to be your doll," Codename hoped to say, "but you dislike my disobedience, so you want to tie me up, preferably so you can directly control my actions."
"Be your only puppet."
"I'd like to, but can you do it?" Shen Yunzhe sneered, "People like you can't be trapped by anything."
"I can't help it. I am you. What can't trap you certainly can't trap me either." Codename Hope muttered softly, "What's going on? I don't remember you being able to do this before. Is this a new ability that suddenly appeared?"
Shen Yunzhe didn't let him go. "Codename: Music Creator's ability, a gift after 100% synchronization."
"Really?" Codename Hope said, "So I didn't give you a freebie? We also have a 100% synchronization rate."
"But I have nothing." Codename Hope looked at him with a terrifying smile, "How about I give myself to you?"
"No." Shen Yunzhe refused. "I just want a puppet, not a running doll."
Codename Hope's mouth pursed instantly.
"Really?"
Codename Hope moved his fingers. The strings of a puppet would not even reach his finger joints, so he could still move his fingers that were not hung up for the time being. As for his wrists and arms, they were already locked tightly, but he didn't care. He just smiled and maintained the hanging posture while looking at Shen Yunzhe.
"A running doll? So you don't want it anymore?" Codename Hope said in a subtle tone.
"Shen Yunzhe, you are a very controlling person at heart. You also told me that if you think something is yours, it must be yours."
"Coming over here and doing this to me, doesn't it mean that you haven't given up at all, and still want me to be your obedient puppet."
"Admit it, you like me so much that you don't want to give up even if I don't obey you."
So narcissistic...but he's right.
Shen Yunzhe just couldn't let go of code name Hope, but there was nothing he could do because code name Hope really wouldn't learn its lesson.
"Shen Yunzhe can do anything to me. After all, I like you so much, and what I said is true." Codename Hope's voice sounded sweet and innocent, but saying such sweet words at this time sounded more like a provocation.
"Shen Yunzhe, I will be very good."
Shen Yunzhe stood up, squinted his eyes, pinched the face of code name Xiwang, and pulled it hard.
I'll pinch him a few more times while he can't move, and when he can move again, I'll start to annoy him again.
Shen Yunzhe came and left quickly, and soon Codename Xiwang was the only one left in the entire space. The posture he had maintained for a long time was finally released. Codename Xiwang sat there and looked at his wrist curiously. There was no scar on his body, and no trace of any thread.
"System," Codename Hope asked, "When do you think I can capture Shen Yunzhe?"
The system was silent for a few seconds, then asked, "Capture Shen Yunzhe? What do you want to do?"
"Let him stay with me." Codename Hope said as a matter of course, "I like him so much, I wish I could see him every moment, but he doesn't like this place."
Codename Hope murmured, "When will I be able to make him willingly come and stay with me?"
The system fell silent again.
I think it will never be possible.
[Shen Yunzhe is a very stubborn person. Even if he likes you, he won't put himself in such a situation just because of his love for you. He won't let you be the only one in his world.]
"Are you mocking me?" Codename Hope flexed his wrists and spoke lazily, seemingly unconcerned with the system's suggestion. "Shen Yunzhe and I are one person, but Shen Yunzhe is the only one in my world right now."
"You shouldn't be like this. You've already recovered your memory, so you should be well aware of this."
After being swallowed by such darkness, most people will have problems. Extreme emotions are the nutrient of the playground, so everyone will be immersed in the huge dye vat of extreme emotions. This big dye vat will dye the original white into black, obscuring the most important things.
You were once more than just a person with extreme emotions.
Codename Hope raised his head, and his eyes and brows were exactly the same as Shen Yunzhe's, but this gentleness was a mask he usually showed to others.
"You mean to say that Shen Yunzhe is the only one who hasn't entered this big dye vat?"
【No. 】
The system said: [He is already in this dye vat, so he will not be contaminated by the colors in the dye vat.]
…
In fact, Shen Yunzhe did not intend to leave so quickly. It was mainly because he heard the doorbell in his sleep.
The doorbell kept ringing, and Shen Yunzhe was woken up. He slammed his pillow to the side, then went to open the door dizzy. After opening the door, Shen Yunzhe looked unhappy, and the person on the other side was also a little surprised.
Qiao Dong subconsciously checked the time and confirmed that it was eight o'clock in the evening.
Young people can actually go to bed at 8pm?!
"Mr. Qiao?" Shen Yunzhe rubbed his eyes and looked at him, "What's the matter?"
"Yes." Qiao Dong said immediately: "Do you remember the call I made before you boarded the train?"
Shen Yunzhe blinked and quickly remembered it.
Before boarding the train, Qiao Dong did call him and told him that the authorities had found out his background.
ah……
Because so many things happened, he had long forgotten about this matter.
Shen Yunzhe let the person in. Considering that Qiao Dong was suddenly woken up from his sound sleep, Shen Yunzhe did not give him water this time. Qiao Dong did not care. After sitting down, he immediately took out a photo from his briefcase and pushed it in front of Shen Yunzhe.
"Do you have any impression of him?"
Shen Yunzhe looked at Qiao Dong strangely, then picked up the photo and looked at it.
The photo shows a young man wearing glasses and a suit. He looks handsome and has a decent and elegant temperament. He should be from a good family.
Who is this?
"I don't know him." Shen Yunzhe put the photo back. "Who is this?"
"It's normal not to recognize him. After all, that happened twenty years ago, and this photo is also over twenty years old." Qiao Dong said, "This man is called Chen Wei, and he's your father."
Shen Yunzhe looked at Qiao Dong in surprise, "My father?"
"He was one of the first members of the official special department. He's a mystic who studies playgrounds. After joining the official team, he's been studying the causes and principles of the playgrounds. Whether it's negative emotions or media, they're all the results he's summarized."
From Qiao Dong, Shen Yunzhe learned about the past of this man named Shen Wei.
Shen Wei, the top mystic in the official team, is obsessed with studying mysticism and has been working in the official team since the formation of the game field.
He has a very happy family. His wife is a star. After marrying him, she quit the entertainment industry to accompany him. They love each other very much and soon have a child, Shen Yunzhe.
But what Shen Wei was researching was very scary, the playground, every 'surprise easter egg'. He was so obsessed with this job that he forgot to tell his wife that she couldn't see anything here.
"Shen Wei's wife saw the 'surprise egg' and died unexpectedly that same day. Everyone knows her death wasn't accidental." Qiao Dong said, "Your father was devastated. All his research was halted, and he disappeared from official circles the next day, taking you with him."
"I didn't expect you to be his child." Qiao Dong murmured, "If you are in an orphanage, it means he has already..."
Shen Yunzhe was silent for a while before he spoke.
"So, my name wasn't given by the dean?"
"Of course not. Your name was carefully chosen by Shen Wei for your household registration." Qiao Dong said helplessly, "I just felt that there are too many overlapping names in this world, and you came from an orphanage, so I didn't even check your name. I didn't expect..."
Shen Yunzhe hadn't thought of this either.
His name was not given by the dean, but was originally Shen Yunzhe. He had parents, although they were both dead, and they both died in the playground.
"Here's the information we've gathered," Qiao Dong handed Shen Yunzhe a piece of information. "It includes our investigation into the director of your orphanage, and our confirmation that your father was indeed active near the orphanage twenty years ago."
Shen Yunzhe took the information in silence.
The information included a record of when the director picked him up, a contract for Shen Wei to buy a house near the orphanage, and they even found a courtyard with photos of Shen Wei, his wife and children. The child in the photo was exactly the same as the archival photo left by the director when he picked up Shen Yunzhe.
After Shen Yunzhe finished reading, Qiao Dong handed him another report. "I'm sorry for not getting your consent. Shen Wei is an important official of ours. He left behind many things. We conducted an appraisal on you and him, and we also confirmed your parent-child relationship."
...The authorities really do things to ensure that they are 100% correct.
"If there's no objection, I think I can return the assets left by Shen Wei to you." Qiao Dong said, "He's still very rich."
Shen Yunzhe held his chin and looked at the files. After a moment, he spoke, "Does this count as getting rich overnight?"
"Not really." Qiao Dong smiled, "This should have been yours."
After sending Qiao Dong away, Shen Yunzhe picked up the photo on the table and looked at it. He tapped the photo with his index finger and saw that the person who was probably his father was broken by his tap.
Actually, I don’t feel anything.
If he were still alive, he might still feel a little panicked. After all, Shen Yunzhe had been an orphan since childhood, and he always longed for a normal family. He would imagine what his parents looked like. But now that he knew they had died long ago, Shen Yunzhe felt no ripples in his heart.
If you never expect anything, you won’t be sad when you lose something.
Isn’t that great?
Putting the photo back on the table, Shen Yunzhe returned to the bedroom, snuggled into the quilt again, and closed his eyes.
Well, actually he was still a little sad... only a little.
After leaving Shen Yunzhe's house, Qiao Dong made a phone call while waiting for the car.
"Mr. Shi, this matter has already been told to Shen Yunzhe."
The other side responded, "Do you think he has any ideas?"
"No, he's still quite indifferent. He has no recollection of his father. After all, he was only three years old at the time and doesn't remember anything." Qiao Dong said, "We don't need to assume that he will join us just because his father is Shen Wei."
Mr. Shi sighed, "Director Qiao, that's not the case. In fact, we must try to get Shen Yunzhe to join."
"What?" Qiao Dong heard the seriousness in Mr. Shi's words.
"Shen Wei's research was at a critical stage when his wife's accident happened. His research was ruined and he disappeared," said Mr. Shi. "We were wondering if there was something fishy going on. Shen Wei loved his wife very much and would never let her watch the live broadcast. But she did, especially at such a time."
Qiao Dong widened his eyes slightly, "You mean..."
"Over twenty years have passed, and it's still a secret. Our suspicions are more than just suspicions." Mr. Shi said, "But this has nothing to do with our purpose. We want Shen Yunzhe to join not just because he has a connection with that mysterious player, but because Shen Wei's son is more important than that mysterious player."
"ah?"
"Back then, Chen Wei proposed the idea that 'each of us has the potential to possess special abilities,' and conducted research on this topic. He's an expert in the occult and has entered gaming venues many times. He once said his research was about to yield results."
"We suspect: His fruit is in his son."
"Even if his death is unclear, he will ensure that his son is alive and that Shen Yunzhe will not die even if he enters the game field."
