Chapter 34: Deja Vu
Deja vu
There are many similar voices in the world. Maybe it was because I met the great god today, and he might have confused the two voices.
The game "Xia Jiang" was developed by Bu Qianli's company. The boss had mentioned to him before that the master was not playing this game, but there were rumors that he was playing other games.
As for what other games it is, they don't know.
“Maybe the sounds are just a little bit similar.”
Chi Dong thought to himself that today was a really lucky day. Not only did he get to meet the great god, but he was also lucky enough to have dinner with him.
Although there were more than just the two of them present, there were other people as well.
It was winter at that time. The snowflakes outside the window were like flying catkins, swirling in the air. Perhaps because he was not wearing enough clothes, Chi Dong felt inexplicably cold. He turned around to look at the doors and windows, which were tightly closed and the heating was on in the house.
Chi Dong wondered if he was hit by the rain and snow when he came back just now, and now his forehead started to feel hot. Then he reached out and touched his forehead, muttering in a low voice: "Is it possible that I am catching a cold?"
At this time, he felt his throat was a little itchy, so he picked up the cup of water on the table and took a few sips. Just as he was hesitating whether to go to the school clinic to get some medicine, he heard several voices calling his name from the other end of the computer.
Chi Dong didn't think any more about it and gave up the idea of going to the school clinic. He thought it must be an illusion. He was still in good health and rarely caught a cold. He quickly put down the cup and replied.
[Public screen] Dongdong hid: I am here.
Before Bu Qianli could speak, Jiang Ying on the side couldn't wait to speak first: "Dongdong hide, is it convenient for you to open the microphone?"
Chidong didn't want to lie to them, but the computer he was using was an old one that his cousin had used when he was in college. It had no microphone and couldn't speak.
[Public screen] Dongdong hid: My computer doesn’t have a microphone, I’m sorry to help you.
When Jiang Ying wanted to open the microphone to speak, Bu Qianli muted his microphone for 9999 seconds without hesitation, making him so angry that he cursed on the public screen.
It was the first time for Chidong to see someone being banned from speaking, but other people in the gang were not surprised by this situation. Some of the brave ones were even joking and making fun of it.
[Public Screen] Po Ying: Ahhhh, why did you ban me? Shi Bu, you are so cruel. I just said a few extra words. Is it necessary to ban me? And 9999 seconds, this is too long.
Bu Qianli said coldly: "You disturbed me."
[Public Screen] Broken Shadow: Ahhhh I’m going to explode, please unban me.
[Public screen] Juhuashaofang's butt hurts: Helper, just give up on this idea. 999 seconds is not a long time anyway, so just wait patiently.
[Public screen] Let’s eat: That’s right, boss, just stay here and reflect on yourself. When the game starts, the master will naturally lift the ban.
[Public Screen]Poying: It’s really hard for me.
Jiang Ying, who knew his friend's character, didn't care about being banned. Instead, he was concerned that Bu Qianli paid too much attention to this guy named Dongdong.
Jiang Ying turned the phone in his hand, wondering whether he should call and ask. Just as he opened the address book and found the number, he suddenly paused and muttered, "That guy will definitely not answer if I call him now. Forget it, I'll talk about it after I finish the game."
Bu Qianli no longer paid attention to the chatter on the public screen and said calmly, "Dongdong, we are sorry for getting you into trouble with this matter."
"We have already investigated what happened today. It was a plot by Caiyunjian and Fuyaozhishang. They wanted to use the events of the past few days to create chaos within our gang."
"The result involves you. In addition, I strongly asked you to join the gang. First, it was for the sake of our agreement. Second, joining our gang can better protect you from harm. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, you are one of us."
"As for the change in the number of gang members, you don't have to worry about that. The one I asked Shadow to kick out was one of his warehouse trumpets."
After hearing Bu Qianli's explanation, he suddenly understood and breathed a sigh of relief. When he first joined the gang, he was very nervous, worried that someone would be kicked out of the gang because of him. If that was the case, he would definitely feel bad.
[Public screen] Dongdong hid: It doesn’t matter, I’m not hurt anyway.
Seeing this, Bu Qianli said no more and continued his arrangements on the channel. He estimated that he would know who the undercover agent was soon.
This plan was an immature one set up by him and Snail.
With the hot searches during this period, and the frequent actions of some people in the gang, anyone who is not blind can find something unusual, excluding Jiang Ying, the idiot and stupid guy.
The reason why he didn't expose it immediately was simply because he wanted to see what the group would do next.
As he expected, the commotion got bigger and bigger. Now only some senior executives in the company know that Shibushayiren is his account. ET. The company's operations director reported it to him twice, but he arranged for the public relations department to continue to add fuel to the fire, saying that it was a rare opportunity and letting the post develop. The higher the popularity, the more people will know about the game "Xiajiang", and the more people will be attracted to play it.
When Snail Immature approached him yesterday afternoon, he was also planning to set up a trap to lure out those people who were hiding behind the scenes and liked to leak information.
And the immature Snail came to him because of Su Nisheng, and he also forwarded him the screenshots of the chat records in which [Fuyaozhishang] contacted him. Bu Qianli then remembered those noisy posts, and it turned out that they were the ones who did it. Especially after learning that [Fuyaozhishang] would issue a wanted order tomorrow to find Dongdong in hiding, Bu Qianli's brows were cold and a coldness flashed across his eyes.
All of this was directed at him, and Chidong was just implicated.
Bu Qianli pondered for a while, and finally spent half an hour finalizing today's plan with Snail Immature. Originally, he planned to let Snail Immature take action first, and then find out a few undercover agents who were hiding deep, and then work with him to expose the conspiracy of [Fuyaozhishang].
As a result, he didn't expect that there was an undercover agent in the Snail Gang, and he took action in advance. It happened that he was driving a car to send someone off at that time, and he encountered a car accident on the way back. Fortunately, he was not injured, but he still delayed his online time.
After returning home, he immediately turned on his computer and logged into the game. While on the way, Snail Immature sent him a text message to inform him of what had happened and urged him to go online as soon as possible.
The reason why he found Chi Dong before Jiang Ying was that when Jiang Ying called him, Snail had already sent him Chi Dong's real-time location coordinates, which enabled him to rush to the scene in time.
The forum is abuzz with discussions about the main city bounty. Some people are following the live broadcast of the entire event. Others have recognized Chi Dong as the player who opened the [Tears of the Sea] and have been messaging him privately to ask if he needs help and to find out whether the [Tears of the Sea] has been sold.
At this time, Shuang Mantian, the helper of [Fuyaozhishang], was looking for Snail Bumature all over the world to discuss countermeasures.
On the other side of the computer, Bu Qianli leaned back in his chair, expressionless and with indifferent eyes. If he hadn't noticed it in advance, something would have definitely gone wrong.
He didn't want anyone to be implicated because of him, especially since he was the one who came to him on his own initiative.
Whenever I chat with Chi Dong, there is always a hint of tenderness and caution in his tone, as if he is worried that he is not liked by others, and as if he is keeping people at a distance, which often makes people feel that it is difficult to get along with him.
However, Bu Qianli felt very comfortable chatting with him. Several times he had the urge to tease and make fun of him, but he quickly suppressed these thoughts. After all, the two of them were not familiar with each other and had known each other for less than a month.
