Chapter 66 [Update 5 and 6] The real code. …

Shen Zhizhe froze for a moment.

He loosened his hand.

Huo Yuyan on the screen seemed to be stunned for a moment, then returned to normal. He looked at the food in the original owner's bowl and felt confused.

After a while, he picked up the bowl that the original owner had not touched and poured everything back into the plate.

"Why did I pick all the food for you? I haven't eaten yet." He muttered, then looked up at Ji Liang, and then looked at the tray he threw on the ground.

He couldn't help but wonder.

What is happening?

Why did it seem like for a moment just now, they were all possessed by evil spirits.

Ji Liang just reacted and stared blankly at the mess he had left behind.

Huo Yuyan found it very strange.

What's even stranger is that after that moment, he seemed to have forgotten something.

He looked at his wife with a strange expression in front of him, and then looked at his dazed brother beside him.

He asked Huo Xihuai: "Do you feel like you've forgotten something?"

Huo Xihuai was a little confused and thought about it uncertainly, "It seems to be the case, but my memory shouldn't be so wrong."

"So what exactly did you forget?"

"have no idea."

He then asked his wife, "Do you feel this way?"

"No." The original owner said in surprise.

They were quiet for a while and then continued to eat.

Shen Zhizhe paused and asked her, "Do you still want to continue watching the lives of a group of virtual people? The plot has collapsed too much now. What they just forgot might be your existence."

"They are just a bunch of data. Do we have to continue looking at the permutations and combinations of a bunch of data?"

Shen Zhizhe said this patiently, as if trying to persuade her not to persist in her wrong ways.

Seeing Shen Yuntang unmoved, he felt even more strange.

Why.

It's already like this, I still have to keep watching.

Did it not matter if they forgot about her?

They all know that the world is on the verge of collapse, and they all know that all characters can be controlled by him, but he still wants to continue watching them live such a boring life. What on earth is Shen Yuntang thinking?

Shen Zhizhe felt that he had to give her some tough advice.

He looked at the screen and sighed softly.

"In a world without order, they will do even more unimaginable things." He said, "Just take a look."

Huo Yuyan left home and went to the company.

Now there was no perspective to follow him. Huo Yuyan's news came from Butler Li later, and he looked puzzled.

It was said that the gentleman did not stop at any red light on the road today, but drove straight through, leaving behind a trail of afterimages, and almost caused several car accidents.

After entering the company, he ignored all his subordinates who greeted him, pushed through the crowd with an indifferent look, and took the elevator to the office alone.

Many people were knocked back and forth by his rough collision, and some even fell to the ground. They all looked at Mr. Huo's back in shock.

What the hell has befallen Mr. Huo today? Why is he so abnormal? It's horrible.

Butler Li also felt it was horrible. Why did the master suddenly have a seizure? These behaviors looked too dangerous. Before dinner, he quietly came to the original owner to complain.

"Miss Shen, I don't know what's wrong with the gentleman today. Is he upset by something? How about you try to scold him to wake him up?" Butler Li said in amazement, "I feel like if we don't persuade the gentleman, something bad will happen. Is he a little mentally ill because of too much pressure recently?"

"I can't care so much." The original owner said, "Let him be, maybe he is stimulated."

Butler Li was stunned.

Don’t you care about this?

He felt extremely ridiculous for a moment.

How could Miss Shen be like this? Is she really Miss Shen?

Why is she more like... the difficult wife from a year ago?

Butler Li started to shudder in confusion.

Another person is on the verge of awakening.

Shen Zhizhe gritted his teeth. The original owner's acting skills were too bad. He actually caused so many people to awaken in a short period of time. His control over that world was getting worse and worse. Now every time he tampered with it, he was almost approaching the limit.

If another important character fully awakens, that world will no longer be under his control.

Before that, he wanted to make Shen Yuntang completely disappointed in Huo Yuyan.

Otherwise, even if she returned to the real world, she would never be able to forget him.

Rather than letting Huo Yuyan bid farewell to Shen Yuntang with a good impression, a better way is to let Shen Yuntang realize that they are creatures from different dimensions, and Huo Yuyan is just a character manipulated by him, not a real person worthy of her love.

Shen Yuntang didn't know what her reaction was. She just kept looking at the screen quietly, making it impossible for him to guess her mood.

The unknown made Shen Zhizhe panic.

He felt that Shen Yuntang was too abnormal. She should have exploded completely from the moment she confessed to him at the beginning, blaming him or even breaking off relations with him. At the very least, she should have scolded him and told him to get out when she saw him spying on her conversation with Zhuo Mei.

Even more so when he was controlling the characters inside, he sneered and questioned what his purpose was.

But Shen Yuntang didn't have any of these reactions.

She had learned to hide her emotions from him.

Shen Zhizhe didn't even know how much her anger had accumulated.

After a long while, he decided to make the final move.

"Do you think he is like this because I control him?" Shen Zhizhe said slowly, "But Shen Yuntang, a person who can be controlled is not independent. He cannot be your husband or lover. He may be changed by the outside world at any time and can never be consistent with you."

"Do you really want a relationship like this?" He stared at her deeply.

After a long while, Shen Yuntang suddenly said, "You are right."

Shen Zhizhe was stunned for a moment.

Huo Yuyan on the screen continued to do all kinds of unreasonable things, as if he was out of control. He even started smashing things at home, making the Huo residence a mess.

Everyone could see that he was not in a normal state, but no one knew what had happened so suddenly. Butler Li trembled and asked in a low voice: "Sir, should we send him to a mental hospital?"

The original owner frowned and avoided him. Shen Zhizhe had clear requirements for her. He could help her return to the position of Mrs. Huo and enjoy a wealthy life, but she also had to abide by the rules and not get involved in these things.

She said coldly: "Let him go crazy on his own, he will be fine after a while."

She didn't know what experiment Shen Zhizhe was doing. She only knew that everyone in this world was controlled by him. If there was any abnormality, it must be that he was changing the plot. She must not influence him, otherwise her current affluent life would be shattered.

Butler Li was extremely anxious and finally had to ask Ms. Tang for help.

"Huo Yuyan has gone crazy?" Ms. Tang was surprised. "Tangtang doesn't want to take care of him? Okay, I'll come over right away."

But Ms. Tang's arrival failed to stop Huo Yuyan, and he was almost affected.

Shen Yuntang watched the farce on the screen and continued, "It's terrible to have a controlled life."

Shen Zhizhe was relieved to finally convince her, and added, "Yes, people who can be controlled will not have their own bottom line. They will do whatever others want them to do. Fortunately, you left that world, otherwise it would be very dangerous for you to be with him. Even if I don't control him, someone else may control him. The system is in my hands now, and I don't know who will control it in the future. If someone dangerous controls the system in the future, your situation will be very scary."

Shen Yuntang nodded.

She had almost figured out the news, and she didn't want to continue acting with Shen Zhizhe.

“I’m actually quite disappointed,” she said.

Shen Zhizhe thought she was talking about Huo Yuyan.

Perhaps Shen Yuntang originally thought that Huo Yuyan could break free from the constraints of his role and fight against him.

But it turned out that Huo Yuyan had no ability to break free. He couldn't even record his abnormal experience like Zhuo Mei did.

He was just about to comfort Shen Yuntang when he heard her say, "Brother, can you hug me?"

Shen Zhizhe paused.

He was a little dazed. He couldn't imagine how Shen Yuntang's range of topics could be so wide.

Does she want comfort?

Shen Zhizhe pursed his lips, did not refuse, and lowered his dark eyes, "...Okay."

He stood up and opened his arms.

Shen Yuntang put his arm around his waist.

Shen Zhizhe paused, patted her back gently, and whispered, "You will meet someone better in the future. That was just a virtual character. Forget it."

Shen Yuntang nodded in his arms and said, "I want to say something to you, too."

Shen Zhizhe calmed down and asked, "What?"

Shen Yuntang chuckled, "Do you think it's great to control other people's fate?"

He paused.

"You don't forget what I said, that I hate people who try to control me the most?" She said in a soft voice, as if she was telling a secret. "Don't you remember how my father and I broke up?"

Her father once tried to control her entire life, making her behave in a proper manner and follow his wishes every step of the way.

Shen Zhizhe, however, resolutely followed her father's old path.

They always put their own desires on the highest pedestal and spend their entire lives satisfying themselves, regardless of whether this desire will affect the lives of others.

She found it so funny just thinking about it. What kind of outrageous brain would come up with sending herself to a parallel world for transformation, becoming alienated from everyone, and then coming back to submit to him.

Her voice was as thin as a sharp blade, cutting Shen Zhizhe's skin inch by inch, "What exactly do you like about me? Do you regard me as your long-cherished wish, something you must get? Do you go against my wishes to satisfy yourself?"

"Or are you putting me on the altar and not allowing me to leave? Are you driving away everyone around me, leaving you alone to worship?"

"Huo Yuyan likes me and will sacrifice himself to fulfill my wish."

"You're going to sacrifice me to fulfill your wish."

"Do you like me or yourself?"

She lowered her eyes and calmly held the thing in Shen Zhizhe's pocket in her palm.

"You've lied to me too many times, Shen Zhizhe. You're really bad." She said, "That world is not a book at all. It's a real world that you have tampered with."

"I knew it a long time ago."

“I know every lie you tell,” she finally said. “You’re the worst creator I’ve ever seen.”

“Before you create a world, remember that they are all living people.”

Shen Yuntang disappeared in his arms.

Shen Zhizhe still kept his arms raised, with a look of surprise on his face.

Before he could recover from Shen Yuntang's extremely hurtful words, his arms suddenly fell.

After a long time, his heart finally stopped beating. He suddenly reached out to touch his pocket, but the hairpin was gone.

He suddenly looked up at the screen. The signal from Shen Yuntang was still there, so he could still see her from the original owner's perspective, but he didn't know where Shen Yuntang was.

How did Shen Yuntang think of that?

How would she know where the system was attached?

Why does she want to go to that world???

He leaned against the table, his blood rushing up rapidly, and panic bursting his chest.

Shen Yuntang believes in Zhuo Mei's intelligence.

Every word she says must be useful.

The sentence that Shen Zhizhe has been turning the things she gave him over and over these days and can't let them go, the key points are not only "these days", but also "the things she left behind" and "can't let them go".

Zhuo Mei won't say anything good for Shen Zhizhe, so that must be hinting at something.

What else can Shen Zhizhe always carry with him? Why does he always keep his hands in his pockets when watching the plot?

Isn't that too obvious?

It must be related to this system that can tamper with the settings of parallel worlds.

Shen Zhizhe said that the system can be transferred, which means that this system is an external object, or at least attached to an external object.

What she took out of his pocket was nothing unexpected, it was a pearl hairpin she had used when she was a child. She seemed to have given it to him casually when they were playing house. It was the first thing she gave him, and he had kept it until now.

The place where Shen Yuntang appeared was Xie Yunting's home.

She didn't know how to use the other functions of this broken system yet, nor did she know how to change it to restore everything to its original state. She just wanted to find Huo Yuyan and beat him up to wake him up.

Shen Yuntang pinned the clip on the hair behind his ear, rummaged through Xie Yunting's drawer without any hesitation, and found his wallet.

The mobile phone that lost signal in that world now has signal, but it is out of battery.

She took her wallet, took a taxi and went straight to the Huo residence.

On the way she studied the garbage system.

The driver inadvertently glanced in the rearview mirror while waiting for the red light, and was startled, stammering, "Ms. Shen, Ms. Shen?"

Miss Shen raised her eyes and looked at him without patience.

The driver trembled and said, "I, I, I have seen you on TV! You are so awesome! I am an old fan of Gu Lan. Thank you, thank you Miss Shen for helping her make a comeback!"

I thought Miss Shen would ignore me.

The driver's hands were sweating as he gripped the steering wheel. He felt nervous and excited as if he had met a celebrity. After a while, Miss Shen in the back seat lowered her head and actually said, "You're welcome."

The driver was flattered and couldn't help driving a little faster on the road behind.

Shen Yuntang didn't know what changes Shen Zhizhe had made to Huo Yuyan before, and she didn't know what he would do after smashing things at home, whether to jump into the sea or set fire, but her intuition was that it wouldn't be very good.

But this broken thing was so complicated that she studied it for quite some time but still couldn't figure out how to set it up.

Then the only option is brute force.

Shen Yuntang didn't believe it.

When the car arrived at the Huo residence, before the driver could even say that he didn't want any money, Shen Yuntang quickly threw down the money, closed the door and got out of the car. His movements were so quick that the driver almost couldn't catch it.

He stared blankly at the direction where Miss Shen was rushing.

The Huo residence was already in chaos. Ms. Tang stood on the second floor, fanning herself with a fan, surrounded by a group of people. She was drinking tea and looking downstairs. She said in disbelief, "Why hasn't he finished his madness yet? These things are so expensive. Isn't Tang Tang going to beat him to death?"

"I've called the hospital. The ambulance will be here soon." Butler Li added, sweating profusely, "...and the police car will be here soon too."

Huo Yuyan's behavior is really too crazy, and it is hard not to suspect that he is about to risk the punishment.

Ms. Tang turned around and asked Shen Yuntang: "Why isn't Tangtang talking?"

She forced a smile, "Seeing him like this, I don't want to talk."

Ms. Tang turned back with a puzzled look, "Yes."

Huo Xihuai watched the chaos below in silence.

He always felt something was wrong.

I always feel like something is not right.

He seemed to have forgotten some very important information.

Why did my brother suddenly become like this? Could this be explained by a disease? Is there such a disease in the world that would appear without any signs?

This makes no logic.

Why would my brother, who had always been a good person, suddenly run a red light, hit people at work, and even start smashing things when he got home? This is illogical, and there is not even a chance for change.

The world cannot be illogical.

Huo Yuyan was also confused.

He didn't know what he was doing, or why there was always an inexplicable force pulling him to act, and he was completely unable to resist.

His eyes were empty and he would destroy anything he saw.

In the end, his mind was occupied by an extremely strong thought.

The world is about to collapse, and he will be buried in it.

It would be better to destroy together.

…

But is this right?

This is not right.

Why did he have such an idea? How did he know that the world was about to collapse?

Huo Yuyan fell into a state of intense confusion as he could not control his actions.

What on earth had he been through? How could a person start behaving drastically differently for no apparent reason?

There must be a reason.

What is the reason? Why doesn't he remember it?

Was it erased?

…

Huo Yuyan's movements paused for a moment.

After a long moment, he looked at his hands and said, "Something's wrong with me."

The palms were covered with blood from the violent destruction.

He looked at the small trickle of blood coming out of his hand, was silent for a long time, and repeated again: "I'm not right."

Shen Zhizhe on the other side of the screen paused.

What happened to Huo Yuyan? How did he realize that something was wrong with him? Hadn't he already erased his memories of the plot?

His eyes were bloodshot and he stared at the screen motionlessly.

While everyone was stunned, Huo Yuyan suddenly raised his head.

He looked at "Shen Yuntang" upstairs.

"Shen Yuntang" was stared at by him and dodged a little, turning his eyes away and not wanting to look him in the eye.

But the more this happened, the more it seemed to provide Huo Yuyan with some trustworthy evidence.

He looked upstairs and stopped, staring for a long while.

It seemed as if his eyes met with Shen Zhizhe on the other end.

Shen Zhizhe didn't move away either.

Huo Yuyan stared at the invisible man quietly, as one guess and possibility after another circled in his mind again.

He began to grab the corner of the clue and gently pulled it out.

After a long while, he finally said -

“I was tampered with.”

He looked at the "Shen Yuntang" standing on the high ground, and asked calmly while she was trembling with fear: "Is it you, the fake one?"

The Huo residence fell into extreme silence for a while.

Everyone was stunned by his two inexplicable words.

What?

What is being tampered with? Who is the fake?

After a long silence, Ms. Tang looked at "Shen Yuntang" first.

She was a little dazed.

Huo Xihuai and Butler Li also turned to look at her.

Shen Yuntang's throat moved, his back tightened a little, and he was silent for a moment. Suddenly, he raised his eyebrows and said firmly, "You said I'm a fake? Huo Yuyan, are you going to die?"

Huo Yuyan looked at her for a long time, and then he suddenly woke up as if the clouds had cleared and the moon had come out, and grinned:

"That's you, fake."

"Who's hiding behind you?" he asked calmly, "Has he trained you in acting? It's so bad that it's outrageous."

"How can you pretend to be like Shen Yuntang?"

Huo Xihuai grabbed the railing tightly.

They forgot about it!

Forgot that she was a fake Shen Yuntang! They were tampered with!

"Shen Yuntang" opened his mouth, as if he was extremely angry, and couldn't even breathe. He took a few short breaths and said with an ugly expression: "I am Shen Yuntang! I am the original one! Huo Yuyan, I am the one who is marrying you! What a fake!"

"Yes, it was you who got the marriage certificate," he said, "but my wife is the real Shen Yuntang."

"How many Shen Yuntangs can there be?" She laughed angrily, "There's only me. What's wrong with you? Are you suffering from paranoia?"

The front door of the Huo residence was unlocked with fingerprints and opened at this moment.

The person outside pushed the door open and heard these words.

She paused, and said politely, "Excuse me, there is also Shen Yuntang here."

Everyone's eyes turned over immediately.

——Fuck!

——What the hell?

Butler Li looked at the two people's faces in horror. What the hell, two Miss Shens?

He was so frightened that he almost couldn't stand, and hurriedly supported Huo Xihuai beside him, "Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Huai, what's going on?"

Huo Xihuai was shocked almost the moment he heard the voice. He leaned his head out of the stairs and looked towards the entrance.

It's her!

Miss Shen is back.

Huo Xihuai's eyes became sore almost instantly.

He held back his sobs and said loudly, "The one below is my sister!"

Huo Yuyan was also stunned when he heard the voice and turned around.

Shen Yuntang flicked his hair and looked at the original owner upstairs. He felt that sometimes it was okay to be thick-skinned, because there would always be people in this world who were thicker-skinned than you.

The original owner's face suddenly changed, and he said in a lost voice: "What are you talking about? I am the real Shen Yuntang!"

He even has to go through this whole drama of real and fake stand-ins. I have to say Shen Zhizhe's taste is really bad.

She nodded and said, "You didn't get the secret code between Huo Xihuai and I right?"

The original owner was stunned.

Huo Yuyan was also stunned for a moment, and didn't even have time to react to seeing Shen Yuntang. The sourness that had just surged up in his eyes was still there, but he immediately swallowed it back and asked hesitantly: "Secret code? You have another secret code?"

"Of course there is." Shen Yuntang said confidently, "Do you think everyone is as stupid as you?"

"What is your secret code?" Huo Yuyan was very alert. Why did he always feel that this secret code was related to him?

Shen Yuntang raised his chin and said, "Let the real Shen Yuntang tell you."

The original owner clenched his fists suddenly.

Seeing her look of disbelief, Shen Yuntang looked at Ms. Tang, Huo Xihuai, and Butler Li in turn, then turned his gaze back to her and sighed.

"You can't tell at first glance." She said, "It's Huo Yuyan, the local dog."

“…”

In silence, she looked at the original owner, as if she suddenly thought of something.

"Oh, right." She suddenly said, "Let's get in touch with the mastermind behind this."

Shen Yuntang touched the hairpin and said, "Xie Yunting, get out."
