Originally, there was no information about the second person in the system's database. However, just a moment ago, because Li Yuebai and his old partner successfully exchanged secret codes, the system also gained access to the second person. As a result, a new database was opened and a huge amount of data began to be transmitted.
"Host, congratulations on successfully connecting with your partner!" The system absorbed the data and repeated: "Host, did you hear that? Please give the appropriate response."
"..." Li Yuebai sat motionless in his seat, unable to respond. After a long while, he looked at Shen Po and asked in disbelief, "Ye Qing?"
"?" Shen Po raised an eyebrow.
Obviously, he didn't remember the name.
"He doesn't remember." Li Yuebai's heart sank again.
"You should know that every time he travels through time, his memory is cleared. The only thing he remembers now is the code Joker & Vila. As for the plot of the second time, perhaps he only has a vague impression, which is not much better than a dream." The system said: "Host, Shen Po and you are different types of travelers. This is the iron rule originally set by the Lord God and cannot be changed."
"I know, but I thought that after successfully getting the code, his memory would be restored..." Li Yuebai lowered his eyes.
"How can restoring memory be so simple?" The system sighed: "Using something you are more familiar with as an analogy - restoring Shen Po's memory is as difficult as waking up a vegetative person in your world."
"Even you can't do it?" Li Yuebai refused to give up any hope: "In the second time, Ye Qing and I can freely use the system as a medium to transmit information and complete the task. Now... can't we use this method again? You are the system, you can definitely transmit the memory to him."
“No.” The system said, “The current situation is different from the second time. The Ye Qing in the second time was a traveler with a system. The current Shen Po… is the same person as Ye Qing, but he does not have a system. Therefore, it is impossible for me to establish a connection with him, and you two cannot communicate like in the second time.”
"Shen Po doesn't have a system?" Li Yuebai was surprised.
"Yes." The system said regretfully.
"It's painful enough that he loses his memory every time he travels through time, and now he doesn't even have a system. What did he do wrong to deserve this treatment?"
"...Host, do you want to hear the reason?" There was a hint of mystery in the system's voice.
"Tell me."
"Do you remember that you killed a system in the second time you traveled through time?"
"Remember." Li Yuebai rubbed his temples. Of course he remembered that the first system he encountered the second time was an extremely despicable and cruel monster. It set traps for him everywhere and even killed Ye Qing once... He didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt for killing such a system.
"The total number of systems is limited. No matter what the reason, since you killed a system, you must bear the consequences." The system said: "Therefore, Ye Qing... or Shen Po, he bore the consequences for you. After the second time he traveled through [Vampire Hunter], the Lord God took back his system, making him a traveler without any cover or help."
The devastating power of this news was so great that Li Yuebai was stunned for a moment. When he came to his senses, he realized that his hands had been clenched white and his nails had pierced into the palms of his hands.
I did it, why should I punish him?
"Host, please don't blame yourself..." the system comforted.
"I don't blame myself. I'm considering 108 ways to kill the Lord God." Li Yuebai said coldly.
“…”
Fortunately, fortunately, no matter what, I finally found him.
It doesn't matter if there is no system, just be careful and protect him.
"What mission does Shen Po have to complete in this world to be considered successful?" Li Yuebai asked.
"His mission is to find the love of his life." The system sighed.
"This task is not difficult..." Li Yuebai breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously, and then his breath got stuck in his throat: "No, it's harder than climbing to the sky!"
He had read Shen Po's information. This person was born cold-hearted and would never fall in love with anyone. Perhaps the Lord God had taken away his ability to love someone from the very beginning.
This is terrible. This outfit is terrible.
My mission is to make Shen Po fall in love with me, and Shen Po's mission is to find a lover. No matter what, the goals of these two people in this journey are... almost the same. No matter how bad or difficult it is, at least the direction of our efforts is right...
Li Yuebai came back to his senses and looked at Shen Po, only to find that he was sunk into the black leather seat, his thumb resting on his chin, looking completely confused, with none of his usual arrogant look.
"What's wrong?" Li Yuebai hurriedly began to show psychological concern.
"..." Shen Po looked at Li Yuebai with a wary look in his eyes: "What does the word you just told me mean?"
It was obvious that he was confused as to why he felt such a strong sense of familiarity with the word "joker" and "vila", why he had a vague sense of déjà vu about the story told by Murong Liang, and why he had a special urge to get closer to Murong Liang.
"If you want to know, just star in my movie." Li Yuebai smiled happily. He could tell that Shen Po was fine and could rest assured for the time being: "Perhaps during the production of the movie, you will slowly understand."
Of course, his smile was not fake in order to win over Shen Po, it came from the heart.
How could he not be happy? Ye Qing was sitting right in front of him. How could he not be happy?
What kind of emotion can wake a vegetative person up? Although I'm not sure, I'll give it a try.
Shen Po glanced at Li Yuebai, then stood up and walked out of the reception room.
"What do you think? Mr. Shen, come on, come on." Li Yuebai revealed her original nature as a seductive and slutty bitch. She chased after Shen Po, pestering him repeatedly. Each of her words was injected with sufficient hormones, and her voice was so seductive that if ordinary people heard it, they would have exploded into fireworks.
However, Mr. Shen was not an ordinary person. He just turned his back to Li Yuebai, unmoved, and walked out step by step with determination.
Shen Po firmly believed that there must be something wrong when things were out of the ordinary.
The script narrated by Murong Liang is simply a monster.
Because of that weird feeling of déjà vu, he drove everyone else out and left Murong Liang behind. However, he couldn't really take on this movie just for that weird feeling of déjà vu, right?
"Little friend Shen Po, I'm not trying to confuse you. I can guarantee it with my professionalism." Li Yue threw out a bunch of messy arguments with great excitement: "This script is about vampires! The evergreen vampire theme! So what if it has been criticized by film critics as being inferior, vulgar and childish? The audiences love it. What did everyone say when "Bram Stoker's Dracula" was released? They said that the vampire theme had come to an end and there would be no better ones. But what happened later? "Interview with the Vampire", "Twilight"..."
When he was happy, he talked a lot, and in the end he didn't even know what he was saying.
"Haven't you seen those forgotten vampire movies?" Shen Po sneered without even turning his head: "Over the years, vampire movies have piled up like a mountain, probably more than the number of humans killed by vampires."
"But..." Li Yuebai chased after him relentlessly.
The corridor outside the reception room was empty. After walking through the long corridor, you will reach the hall.
The agent and Su X were drinking coffee in a corner of the hall. When they saw Shen Po and Murong Liang coming, they hurried over to greet them.
"You." Shen Po pointed at Su X: "The meeting is not over yet, don't leave."
"Huh? Yes, yes, yes." Su X's eyes lit up immediately when he saw that he still had a chance. He hurriedly took out the paper documents from his briefcase and began to introduce them busily.
Shen Po nodded and made a gesture of invitation to Li Yuebai.
Obviously, it means seeing you off.
"Mr. Shen, I won't leave until the meeting is over." Li Yuebai glared and made an angry expression: "If you must send me away, please allow me to have a few words with Director Su."
"No, no." Su X saw that he was mentioned, and hurriedly said politely: "Mr. Murong is a senior in the industry, you can always give me advice..."
In fact, if we don’t consider the golden fingers and the crooked ways, Su X is still working very hard, Li Yuebai thought secretly.
However, this time, he and Ye Qing were reunited and he could not tolerate any interference from others.
Li Yuebai smiled and hooked his finger, making Su X lower his head.
Li Yuebai whispered into Su X's ear: "There is something wrong with your script."
Su X's expression remained calm, thinking that the senior was joking.
Su X's script was stolen from a famous screenwriter named XXX using the golden finger. After stealing it, XXX's memory was quickly erased. The content of the script has never been made public. It is impossible for anyone in this world to know it, let alone say what is wrong with it.
Unfortunately, he didn’t know that Li Yuebai was a time traveler, and time travelers naturally know more than ordinary people.
Su X's script, as an important part of the plot, has been fully mastered by the system.
"Do you dare to use stolen things?" Li Yuebai calmly mentioned XXX's name and the general content of the script.
Su X shuddered - why did Murong Liang know so much? Could he also have a golden finger? But even if he knew, what would it matter? Murong Liang had no evidence...
"You mean I don't have evidence to prove you stole the script?" Li Yuebai smiled and said, "No, I do. You stole the script about a month ago, right? But even earlier, XXX had sent me an unfinished draft of the script via email... Therefore, there must be a document in my computer that is older than yours, which is enough to prove..."
Su X was silent, thought about it for a few seconds, and chose to quit.
There are plenty of opportunities in this world. There is no need to sacrifice yourself for one chance. People like Murong Liang can do anything.
"Sorry." Su X bowed to Shen Po and the agent: "There is a problem with the script. I can't recommend it to the seniors today. Sorry."
After a perfunctory explanation, Su X hurriedly said goodbye and left.
Shen Po immediately looked at Li Yuebai with suspicion again without any hesitation.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Li Yuebai looked back at Shen Po with a half-smile: "Could it be..."
"..." Shen Po looked away speechlessly.
"If you can't decide right now, it's okay. I'm willing to wait." After teasing Shen Po, Li Yuebai whistled happily and walked out the door: "Contact me anytime."
For a star of Shen Po's level, deciding what movie to star in is a serious matter. Of course, it is impossible to decide immediately. Li Yuebai is prepared for a protracted war.
"Then can you please let go of my hand?" Shen Po frowned and looked at his wrist awkwardly - it was tightly grasped by Murong Liang. What was even more terrifying was that Murong Liang seemed to be completely unaware of this problem, and just dragged him out in a high-spirited manner, swaying with every step.
Shen Po struggled a little, but couldn't move.
If he used a little more strength, he could certainly push Murong Liang away, but... for some reason, Shen Po felt in his heart that he should not be violent towards the person in front of him so easily.
"Host, I know you miss your partner too much, but isn't this a bit too inappropriate?" The system was also speechless.
"What's wrong?" Li Yuebai turned around and raised his eyebrows: "Can't you give me a ride?"
"This..." The agent was speechless.
Given Murong Liang's status, it seems reasonable for the movie emperor to personally see him off?
But it would be bad if the media came across it...
By the time the agent managed to get Shen Po back from Murong Liang, their intimate actions had already been captured by the paparazzi lying in ambush at the door.
Shen Po and Murong Liang were originally the center of the vortex, the kings of topics, and were always followed by groups of media reporters. Now that something like this had happened, the topic exploded even more.
——Shock! Movie star Shen Po and the top producer openly hold hands, it seems like they are coming out of the closet!
——Shock! Movie star Shen Po and the top producer are fighting and it seems like they are fighting!
——Shocked! Movie star Shen Po had a private conversation with the gold medal producer, and then walked out of the company hand in hand!
All kinds of sensational news appeared in the media. Some of them were covered by Shen Po's company's public relations, but the remaining small part that slipped through the net still caused quite a stir.
"Host, is this the way you said to protect your partner?" The system sighed: "Excuse me, you now look like a scumbag who is eager to cause chaos in the world."
"What can I do? The original owner's personality is here, and I can't control it at all." Li Yuebai stretched out his hand in front of him, looked left and right, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth again.
"You want to hold the other person's hand again." The system said in surprise: "Excuse me, host, your thoughts are a bit dirty now..."
When Li Yuebai came to Shen Po's company for the second time, he was immediately surrounded by a large number of reporters waiting at the door.
"Mr. Murong, I heard that you and Shen Po were alone together for a whole hour during the meeting?" A particularly gossipy reporter asked first.
"Hmm?" Li Yuebai thought about it. After he introduced the script of Vampire Hunter, Shen Po, out of doubt, did dismiss everyone else and talked to him alone in the reception room. The time... should be less than an hour.
"May I ask what you did at that time?" the more gossipy gossip reporter continued to ask.
"We? Let's talk about the script." Li Yuebai replied.
"Oh..." The reporters uttered ambiguous exclamations.
"It is well known that you and Shen Po have no collaborative projects in the entertainment industry, so how can you talk about the script?" The reporter asked, "Is this just an excuse?"
"No, we're just talking about the script, don't make blind guesses." Li Yuebai said angrily.
"Oh..." The reporters' eyes became more ambiguous.
"Host, your answer is clearly encouraging others to make blind guesses..." The system was about to cry.
Seeing that "talking about the script" is about to become a kind of buzzword, the great actor Shen Po Shen finally came out to refute the rumors.
As soon as Shen Po appeared at the company gate, most of the reporters who were originally surrounding Li Yuebai immediately ran away.
Facing the noisy questioning and extremely ambiguous looks from everyone, Shen Po could hardly maintain his composure.
What the hell is Murong Liang doing? !
Shen Po subconsciously looked for Murong Liang among the reporters, wanting to question him face to face, but found that Murong Liang had been drowned out.
Murong Liang was a rather thin man, and when he was squeezed in the center by reporters and repeatedly questioned, he looked a little... familiar? Not only familiar, but also a little worrying.
It was just like the scene in the script, being surrounded by countless vampires...
Shen Po shook his head vigorously to stop his overly divergent thoughts.
What was going on? Why was he suddenly worried about Murong Liang? It was obviously all his fault, so he should clean it up himself.
But if I don't show up, the rumors will not disappear.
"Mr. Shen Po, may I ask, were you really discussing the script with Mr. Murong at that time?" the reporter asked.
"Yes." Shen Po nodded.
“But you don’t have any cooperation projects.”
"There is intention to cooperate." Shen Po thought for three seconds and made a choice.
Shen Po usually doesn't talk much and is not used to long explanations, so the agent came forward and refuted all the gossip in detail, and explained all the ambiguous actions as the two of them arguing about the script, making it foolproof.
The gossip reporters suddenly lost interest and fell silent.
However, if there is no personal affair to report, then it is also good to report the new work, at least you will not return empty-handed.
"Is Mr. Shen Po really going to star in the new movie produced by Mr. Murong Liang?" The reporter adjusted his mood and changed his tone to serious.
“We have the intention to cooperate, but the details have not been confirmed yet,” the agent replied.
"What is the theme of the movie?"
What subject matter...
As soon as he said this, the familiar words joker &vila appeared in Shen Po's mind again.
Perhaps, by starring in Murong Liang's new movie, we can really figure out what is going on.
"There is nothing to offer..." The agent said halfway through his sentence.
"Vampire theme." Shen Po blurted out subconsciously.
"Vampire-themed movies have never been well received by critics." The reporter asked curiously, "Why did Mr. Shen Po suddenly want to star in such a clichéd theme?"
Yes, why...?
The agent was stunned for a moment.
If this problem cannot be explained clearly, the scandal between Shen Po and Murong Liang will still not be dispelled.
"The vampire theme is evergreen." Shen Po said calmly, "Although it has long been criticized by film critics as being low-brow and vulgar, the audience always buys it. The 1992 film "Bram Stoker's Dracula" was considered by film critics to be the final work of this theme. However, later, "Interview with the Vampire" in 1994 and "Twilight" in 2008... their achievements are obvious to all..."
"Oh..." The reporters were regretfully convinced.
"..." The agent secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Host, your partner is repeating what you said." The system was stunned.
"I heard it." Li Yuebai smiled and looked at Shen Po through the crowd of reporters: "I knew he would always stand on my side."
