Chapter 084 Chapter 84

Neither Louis nor Cole knew Bai Yixin.

After leaving the museum, they were immediately taken away by US investigators and had no chance to check the news on the Internet.

However, Louis did know a little about his appearance in the strange live broadcast, which he learned from the researchers.

During the surveillance period, the two were completely cut off from any news from the outside world. They had no way of connecting to the Internet to find out what was happening outside, and no one cared whether they were well or not.

Just like what the salvation system investigated, they are the kind of people who have no friends or relatives to announce their existence to even after coming out of the closet. Their world only has each other, and everyone else is just a passerby.

So when Louis saw Bai Yixin, his first thought was: Is this the human who became Kret's slave before him?

Until the gentleman opposite began to introduce himself: "Hello, I'm Bai Yixin, a businessman."

Seeing the two people's indifferent expressions, Bai Yixin added: "Weird businessman."

At this, Louis and Cole's expressions changed a little, and they looked at Carrett, whose jaw and hands were all white bones.

Weird, there are such decent looking guys?

Aren't all of them clearly non-human beings like Kairet?

Kailett pinched Louis' chin with his bony hand and narrowed his eyes: "You seem to be thinking about something very rude."

"Oh, I'm so sorry."

Caret loosened his fingers: "Forget it." He pointed at Louis and said to Bai Yixin: "This is the guy. The other one is a gift."

Bonus Cole: ...

Bai Yixin nodded to Louis and Cole and said, "I'll leave it to you for the next few days."

Louis and Cole still had confused looks on their faces, not knowing what was going on.

Carrett: "This guy is coming to the United States for the first time, and you are responsible for showing him around."

Bai Yixin sighed, "I thought you were here to be my tour guide, Carret. I'm so disappointed that you wasted one of my collections."

"You traded a bone for two temporary servants to lead the way. How did you get any loss?"

"That's a strange bone, not just some cheap stuff."

Carrett: "I don't care. Once it's in my hands, don't even think about taking it back."

Bai Yixin shrugged: "Okay, I know. But next time I ask you for help, don't fool me. And...what on earth did you do to have so many people following you?"

Kairet followed Bai Yixin's gaze and looked around the street.

Louis and Cole were imprisoned in a very remote mansion in the city. All the other houses around them belonged to the US investigation agency, which was convenient for surveillance. Now Louis and Cole were out because of Carrett, and Chief Smith did not ask the investigators to take action to arrest them, but it was inevitable to keep an eye on them from a distance.

The scary weirdness appeared in the city, not in an isolated space, which of course makes people feel scared. Because they are afraid of what they will do, and they are also curious about the weirdness. Not to mention the investigators watching in the surrounding houses, there is a drone with monitoring function flying in the air above their heads. There must be other equipment monitoring or even eavesdropping in the farther places.

"Let them be," said Carey. "Eyes are everywhere."

Bai Yixin raised his eyebrows: "You're right."

"Then I'll be leaving first." Kailett said, and he disappeared into thin air in front of everyone's gaze, shocking the senior American officials behind the surveillance screen.

"Let's go." Bai Yixin said to Louis and Cole, "I heard that the history of the United States is very short, is that true? Has there ever been a very horrific bloody incident? I want to know that. Take me to see it."

Louis: “Okay…”

Eastern mainland, Neon country.

Since the strange live broadcast in Neon Country ended, Miyuki's life has changed dramatically.

Her underground idol career is over.

Although they did not announce their disbandment, after coming out of that strange world and losing Reino, all of their idol activities came to an end.

No one wrote any songs, performed any shows, or even posted any news on social media platforms.

In contrast to their cessation of idol activities, the popularity of the trio has been soaring. They have been on the hot search list for days in a row. Whenever you open a webpage, you can always see news about them. Their life experiences are all over the Internet. The songs they have sung, the dances they have choreographed, and various recorded videos are all over the Internet. With this popularity, it is not a problem for them to ask famous directors to arrange one or two small roles for them, and it is even easier for them to be the female lead in a small-budget movie.

If it was in the past, they would have been very happy. But now, all that has become a bone-eating poison.

Many people criticized her for her "stupid" behavior when facing the monsters, and her "betrayal" behavior of not looking for Ling Nai until the end and going to the station to wait first to save her own life.

People's words were like knives, and they all stabbed Miyuki.

But this is not the most painful part for her. Being an idol means there are people who love you and people who hate you. Especially when you become popular, people will be jealous and may say anything nasty. Miyuki is able to withstand pressure.

What she could not accept the most was Ling Nai's disappearance and her own regret.

After leaving that strange place, Miyuki saw a live broadcast that someone had recorded, and she saw the whole process of Reno's accident.

If she hadn't agreed to act with that man, if she had caught up with Ling Nai in time, if she had...

There is no if in the past, now is the reality.

The three people's house has been vacated, and the landlord has exposed their address. Reporters came to their house wanting to know more details about the strange live broadcast, but what is there to say? Wasn't everything they did broadcast live?

Miyuki didn't know where Limei went after she moved out. She hadn't been in touch with her recently. Anyway, she returned to her hometown in the countryside which she hadn't seen for a long time.

It's a very remote little place with underdeveloped internet and few young people, so here Miyuki has found rare peace and quiet.

Miyuki walked out of the room. She didn't want to stay at home, so she went to the mountain behind the village alone.

She used to look forward to the city nightlife when she was a child, but now she has begun to like the beauty of nature.

The mountain is covered with trees, and it is all green as far as the eye can see. Occasionally, one or two colorful wild flowers can be seen among the green, but what attracts more attention are the butterflies on the flowers.

There were countless colorful butterflies as big as a palm flying in the air.

...wait, isn't that a bit too much?

Miyuki watched in amazement as the butterflies circled in the air and then flew in the same direction.

This situation is a bit strange. Miyuki should leave, especially since she has been to Kisaragi Station before.

But I don’t know why, maybe because I’ve been too depressed recently, and I have the idea that everything will be fine in the future, so Miyuki followed Butterfly.

Following the twists and turns, they came to a mountain stream. A gray boy was standing by the stream with his bare feet in the water. Butterflies were landing on his head and shoulders, adding bright color to his gray appearance.

Miyuki saw the boy's back. She only saw his slightly long dark gray hair and light gray skin. Even so, Miyuki could guess that he was not human.

But she still didn't run away. Instead, she walked forward and whispered, "Do you need flesh and blood?"

The gray-haired boy reacted. He tilted his head slightly. Miyuki saw the boy's profile. His pupils were a very clear silver-white color.

Miyuki cried and knelt on the ground: "My friend is gone, taken away by a monster. Are you a monster too? If you want, take me away too. I've had enough..."

"I'm not hungry." The gray boy replied, turning his head back to continue looking at the clear stream.

Miyuki was kneeling behind him, covering her mouth to suppress her tears.

"Your friend's name, date of birth and place of origin." The gray boy spoke again.

Miyuki raised her head and whispered Reno's message.

The gray boy hummed, and after a while he said, "She's not dead yet."

Miyuki's eyes lit up slightly: "Really?"

The gray boy stopped talking.

The word "alive" was groundless and no reason was given, but Miyuki just believed it and had no choice but to believe it.

She has been blamed too much, and the news that Ling Nai is still alive will give her more courage to live.

The gray boy was still staring at the stream. Cyberbullies would happen in every country. He had guessed that such a thing would happen after he decided to start the weird live broadcast. Once someone was dragged into the weird live broadcast and their behavior did not meet the public's expectations, and they were not brave, strong, smart, or kind, they would definitely be criticized.

Of course, the majority of people are considerate, but there are also people who just want to vent their emotions and spray for the sake of spraying.

The salvation system can select people who are in good physical condition and emotionally stable to enter the weird live broadcast, but no one can predict what will happen in the future. Today I am here to clean up the mess.

Fortunately, the system has been keeping an eye on the 'survivors' for so long that Miyuki is the only one who has suffered an emotional breakdown.

Her biggest negative emotions come from Reino's family and her own family, who accuse Miyuki of watching Reino die without saving her.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with what Miyuki did. Not everyone is as brave as Limei and dares to risk their life.

The gray boy stood up and looked at Miyuki: "I told you the news, you should give me a reward."

"Reward?" Miyuki looked confused. After a while, she raised her arm. "My flesh and blood for you?"

It seemed like this was the only thing she could give away.

"That's true." The gray boy said, "But I'm not hungry yet, at least I don't need to eat now."

"I want something else." The gray boy said, "Do you know where a terrible bloody incident has occurred?"

Places like this will definitely be the first places where something bad will happen when something strange really happens.
