Chapter 201 The Cruelest Seed Without a doubt, in Bai Jie's body...
Two o'clock in the morning, Moon Banner Base Camp.
Bai Jie was wearing headphones and playing games with He Lun via the microphone.
"When will you be back?" Bai Jie asked, "The Moon Banner Base Camp is finished and it's so beautiful."
There was silence on the other end of the headset for a moment, and He Lun said, "I have a flight for the day after tomorrow. Brother Mengtang asked me to take my parents to the Yuefan Base Camp as well. It's not safe outside right now."
Bai Jie didn't speak for a long time: "About your sister, uncle and aunt..."
"Crying all day long." He Lun interrupted Bai Jie.
Two characters in the game were using ham sticks to hit a giant fly that could breathe fire. Helun made a mistake in his positioning and died.
Bai Jie killed the big fly by himself: "I'm sorry."
When Bai Jie said these three words, his hatred for his original family deepened. Bai Jie had never done anything wrong in his life. If reincarnation was also counted in the book of merit, then Bai Jie's only fault was being reincarnated into the Bai family.
The Bai family killed He Lun's sister and injured Wei Wei like that...
Just as he was thinking about it, there was a loud bang from upstairs. Bai Jie heard it through the headphones. He was so scared that he looked up at the ceiling.
The direction from which the sound came seemed to be Wei Wei's bedroom.
"What's that noise?" He Lun also heard it through the headphones.
Bai Jie: "Wait a moment, I'll go take a look."
He ran upstairs and knocked on Wei Wei's bedroom door, but there was no answer. After waiting anxiously for five minutes, Bai Jie turned the doorknob and wanted to go in directly.
"Don't come in!" Wei Wei's voice came out, "Wait a moment, I'll clean it up right away."
After waiting for another 15 minutes, Wei Wei opened the door and said calmly, "Did I disturb you?"
"I'm not asleep," Bai Jie shook his head, "What was that noise just now?"
He looked over Wei Wei's shoulder and looked into the room. He saw that the wall panel opposite Wei Wei's bed was smashed, the cement wall was cracked, and three black clay puppets were scraping putty, gluing the wall panel and sticking it back on.
"I was sleeping, and when I opened my eyes, I saw a dark shadow beside the bed. I thought it was an assassin, so I attacked reflexively, but I didn't control my strength well and hit the wall." Wei Wei said, "Please rest assured, there are no assassins in the base camp. The dark shadow was my black clay puppet, and it was trying to turn off the bedside reading light.
Bai Jie breathed a sigh of relief after the incident, but soon he felt something was wrong.
"Did you have a nightmare?" Bai Jie asked.
Wei Wei had a very regular schedule. He went to bed at 11 o'clock and woke up at 5 o'clock. It was a bit abnormal that he suddenly woke up at two o'clock in the morning and started hitting people as soon as he opened his eyes.
"No." said Wei Wei.
Bai Jie didn't believe it. He sighed and said for the second time, "I'm sorry."
“You don’t have to apologize.”
"Biologically speaking, Bai Ke and I are related by blood," Bai Jie sighed again, "Brother Wei, you must not show mercy to Bai Ke and the others. Each of them is a murderer, with an average of 10 lives. Killing them will eliminate the scourge."
Wei Wei nodded and was about to close the door when Bai Jie stopped him with his hand:
"More than 500 years ago, someone left a prophecy," Bai Jie said with a serious expression, "The Bai family will not perish, but will only leave behind the most cruel seed, which will lead to a disaster that will overturn the world."
Wei Wei raised his eyebrows slightly: "Who left this prophecy?"
"I don't remember. Family history was my make-up class. I only know that there was a very powerful prophet. The tutor kept saying 'Ah!' and 'Ah!' in that class," Bai Jie scratched his head. "Brother Wei, you are smarter than me. You must understand the principle of cutting the grass at its roots."
After the bedroom door was closed, Wei Wei still stood there. After a long time, he slowly lit a cigarette.
The Bai family will not perish, but will leave behind a most cruel seed...
There is no doubt that Bai Jie also has Bai's blood flowing in his body.

"You mean, just because the half-dead statue was pushed down, Xiao Tien is going to kill you?" Behind the lenses of Zhuang Yuan's glasses, a pair of slender eyes widened.
Gao Mengtang: "It's a statue of a half-dead person."
"What's going on?" Zhuang Yuan was very surprised. "You are the leader of Yue Fan, the leader of the five major camps. Xiao Tien dared to attack you because of such a trivial matter?!!"
In Zhuang Yuan's opinion, the statue falling down is as serious as a family portrait falling down and the frame having a few scratches. Is this worth getting angry about?
What's more, Gao Mengtang had no ill intentions and did not directly push down the statue. The broken stone only had a few scratches. Even if the statue was broken, so what? Just build another one.
Zhuang Yuanmu's stunned expression showed her complete misunderstanding of Xiao Tien.
Bai Jie spread his hands helplessly: "It's normal for the followers of the ancient gods to be a little crazy. But there are definitely few who are as crazy as Xiao Tien. At least my biological relatives won't do that."
"Fortunately, Xiao Tien's ID card is useless." Zhuang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. Xiao Tien rarely appeared in public, and most people only knew that Xiao Tien's ID card was [013 Balanced Will], but they didn't know that his skill [Reset] was so amazing.
All desires and emotions are instantly cut off, and people turn into stone, sitting there stupidly, allowing others to kill them. Once you confront him head-on, you have no chance of winning.
Gao Mengtang whispered: "Hmm."
He rubbed the belly of his enemy rabbit, still thinking about Xiao Tien's skills.
In the Black Tower game, a few skills can control the emotions of other players. For example, the poison configured by Wei Wei can make other players furious and their desires subside, and Qin Xishuang's charm skill can make others fall in love with him.
It is easy to confuse emotional control with mental control, but there is a fundamental difference between the two. Emotional control is like makeup, which is easy to wash off, with minor changes, and the effect becomes weaker and weaker as time goes by, while mental control is like cutting skin and breaking bones, which completely reshapes the whole person, with obvious effects, and will not weaken with time.
Emotional control is more like a catalyst, while mental control completely changes the nature of a person.
The only ones who can control spirits are the gods of the other world. Why does Xiao Tien have such ability? Is there a life from the other world helping him?
"Chief, I have to go to work," Zhuang Yuan finished his last sip of black tea, "The issues regarding Yue Fan have piled up like a mountain, and I have to deal with them all. Wei Wei has been back for a whole day, and he didn't ask about the work at all, and pushed everything to me."
After saying that, Zhuang Yuan left in a hurry. Gao Mengtang was a little worried about Wei Wei, so he went to Wei Wei's office first, but Wei Wei was not there. He looked around to see if there was anyone in the bedroom, and found that Wei Wei was in the kitchen.
"Good morning!" Gao Mengtang greeted with a smile.
Wei Wei, wearing a white work suit and a tall chef's hat, looked up at the time. It was three o'clock in the afternoon.
Gao Mengtang: "...Good afternoon?"
"Hello." Wei Wei nodded, "Would you like to have afternoon tea?"
"Um, no, I'm worried about you," Gao Mengtang pressed his fingers against the kitchen door, "Are you okay?"
"Thank you for your concern. Everything is fine with me," Wei Wei flipped through a cookbook. "I really like cooking. I finally have some free time these days to develop my hobby."
Gao Mengtang clamored for help. As he changed into his chef uniform, he asked, "Those people from the Bai family are still locked up in the Iron Lady. What are you going to do with them?"
"Do you want to save them?" Wei Wei asked calmly.
Gao Mengtang: "Of course not!"
Bai Ke chopped Wei Wei into pieces. When Gao Mengtang rushed over, he picked up Wei Wei piece by piece with his numb and trembling hands. He would never forget that feeling.
Gao Mengtang was unwilling to interfere in how Wei Wei dealt with the Bai family.
"I'm going to make an eggplant box today." Wei Wei said, "Can you help me wash the eggplant?"
"Of course." Gao Mengtang rolled up his sleeves, stood beside Wei Wei, and washed the eggplants absent-mindedly.
Wei Wei was reserved, and when faced with important matters, he would often hide his true emotions. If he flew into a rage and gnashed his teeth in hatred, the situation was not particularly serious.
But the fact that Wei Wei was so calm was even more worrying.
The kitchen was very quiet. Gao Mengtang was washing the eggplants while Wei Wei was cutting them slowly.
"Bai Ke did that to you," Gao Mengtang hesitated for a long time before speaking, "If you feel uncomfortable, we are all willing to help you."
Wei Wei's tone was as calm as a bowl of boiled water: "Mr. Blind, you worry too much. I was one of the first to enter the Black Tower game during the internal beta test period. I have seen many bloody things. This is just normal."
"Oh..." Gao Mengtang responded sullenly. He washed the eggplants and handed them to Wei Wei. However, he didn't hold it firmly and one of the eggplants fell and hit Wei Wei's wrist.
What happened at that moment was so fast that Wei Wei's wrist, which was hit by the eggplant, spasmed, his fingers twitched, and his muscles tensed.
With a loud bang, the chopping board, bowls with side dishes, and kitchen utensils were all swept to the ground by Wei Wei. A cold light flashed, and when Gao Mengtang reacted, the kitchen knife in Wei Wei's hand was placed on Gao Mengtang's neck.
"Awei?" Gao Mengtang looked at him in a daze. Wei Wei's expression was ferocious and cruel, and there was a hint of fear that was hidden so deeply that it was difficult for others to detect.
"It's just an eggplant, not..." Gao Mengtang didn't say the word "knife". Wei Wei's reaction was so strong just because he was hit on the wrist by an eggplant, but he still insisted that it was "just ordinary".
Wei Wei slowly moved the kitchen knife away. His face was pale and cold sweat oozed from his forehead. After a long time, he whispered "I'm sorry."
The hand that was hit by the eggplant was shaking violently. Wei Wei held his wrist tightly and it took a long time for it to recover. He slowly squatted down, gathered the spilled meat filling and put it into the bowl.
He continued to cook and Gao Mengtang continued to wash the vegetables and side dishes, as if nothing had happened.
*
The next afternoon, Wei Wei said he wanted to occupy the banquet hall on the first floor and invited Gao Mengtang to dinner.
Gao Mengtang readily agreed, pushed open the restaurant door, and was stunned.
There were already two people in the restaurant: Bai Shu and Bai Ke.
"What is this?" Gao Mengtang asked.
Wei Wei: "Please rest assured."
Bai Shu and Bai Ke had a three-finger-wide collar around their necks. It was one of the Bloody Lady's skills, [House Arrest]. Once activated, the player's ID card would be invalid for 30 minutes.
Now, the neck ring was not activated, but Bai Shu and Bai Ke were very honest. When they saw Wei Wei, they immediately became nervous.
They were locked up in the Iron Lady for two days. Although they were not tortured, they were in a bad mental state, with haggard faces and messy hair. However, they changed into formal clothes and sat in the magnificent restaurant, which looked quite funny.
"You two, I'm deeply sorry for the poor hospitality." Wei Wei kept smiling and sat on Bai Ke's left. When Wei Wei sat down, Bai Ke clenched his arms and his Adam's apple rolled up and down.
Bai Shu's voice was weak and trembling: "Wei Wei, you, what do you want?"
"Serve the food first." Wei Wei rang the bell, and two rows of black clay puppets brought steaming food and placed it silently on the revolving dining table.
Most of the dishes were thickened with starch, with an attractive glossy luster on the surface. The residual heat of the iron plate made the steak sizzle with oil. The bright red crab shell was covered with crab roe and crab meat. The meatball soup was clear and fragrant, with green chopped green onions floating in it. Bai Ke and Bai Shu were starving. As soon as the food was served, they stared at it.
The black clay puppet pushed all the vegetarian dishes in front of Gao Mengtang, and quietly picked up sweet and sour spare ribs and sweet and sour pork with pineapple for Bai Shu and Bai Ke, and served a bowl of matsutake soup.
"I hope you two don't mind my cooking skills." Wei Wei also poured them wine and offered them cigarettes.
After all this, not to mention Bai Ke and Bai Shu, even Gao Mengtang was confused. He ate Matsutake sashimi and decided not to say anything for the time being.
Bai Ke and Bai Shu did not dare to pick up their chopsticks. They watched Wei Wei cut a meatball and eat it calmly.
"What's wrong?" Wei Wei asked the two stunned people.
"What on earth are you doing?" Bai Ke asked bluntly, "Just tell me, don't play these tricks."
There was still half a meatball stuck on the tip of Wei Wei's knife. Hearing this, he nodded and smiled, and put down the cutlery: "You two are open-minded people, so I will get straight to the point. Hand over the Bai's Manor and all the property in the manor. Otherwise, I will kill all of you."
"Just that?" Bai Ke unconsciously grabbed the collar, "You don't want my life?"
Wei Wei wiped the corner of his mouth with his napkin, and smiled when he heard this: "Be honest, how much is your life worth?"
