Chapter 9 Cross-Server Chat
"I haven't seen such a warmhearted person in a long time..."
After sending Mr. Chen away, Bai Zhi couldn't help but look very emotional when he saw the clean room and the completed homework.
No matter who that Mr. Chen is, he is definitely not a human being. Most likely, it is a strange creature like a newly-appeared urban legend. It has come all the way to give me money, solve problems for me, and help me clean up the room. And it didn’t even want any remuneration, what kind of spirit is this?
This is an extremely selfless spirit!
If all the people in the world can become like that "Mr. Chen", then this world will definitely become a better place.
"I don't know if Mr. Chen will come again in the future..."
Opening the envelope and looking at the banknotes, Bai Zhi was reluctant to part with that strange creature. The problems that had been troubling him were finally solved.
Urban legends, basically every city will have one or two stories that are used as a topic of chat after a meal. But three months ago, the growth rate of such urban legends was growing rapidly on the Internet at an unreasonable rate.
Ever since he witnessed the river crab in the daytime, Bai Zhi had already prepared in his heart to face the urban legend directly, but he didn't expect that the first contact with the urban legend would be such a peculiar situation.
Although he still didn't know much about the origin and name of that "Mr. Chen", he already had some guesses in his mind about the characteristics of this urban legend he encountered.
Although urban legends are scary, it is not unsolvable. Most of them have some fairly unique rules. As long as you can understand those rules, it is not particularly difficult to survive from the hands of those strange things.
Otherwise, if people would definitely die after encountering them, then there would not be so many rumors about urban legends on the Internet. After all, the dead are best at keeping secrets.
As for the creature he encountered today, if he hadn't seen through the other party's true identity from the very beginning, with the other party's flawless performance, he really wouldn't necessarily be able to see through the other party's disguise.
If his guess was correct, what the creature he encountered today needed was fear. After all, when the other party was helping him clean up his room and explain the exercises to him, he seemed to be trying to use various abnormal behaviors to scare him...
"Mhm… Based on this, it doesn't rule out the possibility that the creature will come again in the future, but it will probably not use the image of "Mr. Chen" again... So before the danger is eliminated, maybe I should pay special attention to the people around me in the future?"
Sitting on the chair with one hand supporting his head, Bai Zhi looked thoughtful.
"The other party seems to have the ability to read people’s minds to a certain extent, otherwise it would not deliberately change into someone who does not exist in this world at all... And I also have the memory of Bai Zhi in this world, and the people that Bai Zhi thought about the most was... school belle?"
Tapping his head with his fingers, Bai Zhi suddenly felt slightly troubled.
"According to how this level of urban legend would normally progress, the school belle will probably soon change her mind and chase me instead. Although it is a bit strange and illogical that the school belle who was originally extremely disgusted with me suddenly took the initiative to pursue me, logic is secondary to this kind of creature. After all, it only wants my fear... But I cannot just wait for it to come. After all, I will not be able to be on guard all the time. It seems that I still have to think of a foolproof method... Speaking of which, can that kind of thing be killed? It should be possible. Maybe there is an existence in the dark that specializes in dealing with this kind of existence…"
The night quietly passed in Bai Zhi’s thoughts.
On the second day, Bai Zhi woke up very early in the morning—compared to the original owner.
Since there were mysteries in this world, and ordinary human beings were well protected, there must be extraordinary existence behind those mysteries.
Although he wanted to know more about this kind of thing, he had only come to this world for a day at most. Impatience would not be able to help him in any way. Besides, he didn’t have any clues about this kind of thing. So it was better to follow his original plan and move forward step by step.
No matter what kind of weird thing he would face, under a nuclear bomb, all living beings are equal. If he had the ability to make a nuclear bomb with his hands, would he still be afraid of that kind of thing? Of course not...
"Mhm...I should take a few weeks to review my studies, and then..."
"Good morning?"
Just as Bai Zhi was eating breakfast and making his next plan in his mind, a voice sounded beside him. Then a pretty figure sat down naturally beside him.
I knew it……
Looking at the school belle who was sitting next to him and greeted him with a smile on her face, Bai Zhi's mouth twitched imperceptibly.
Think about it, she was clearly a girl who was extremely disgusted with him stalking her before. And in the cafeteria yesterday, she also wanted to embarrass him and stay far away from him. But now, she took the initiative to greet him with a smile on her face, and sat beside him... Anyone would be able to tell that there was a problem in it, right!?
Alas, this creature seems to be a little bit stupid...
Bai Zhi suddenly had a sense of superiority in his heart.
"Oh, what's the matter? By the way, I’ve already said it clearly in the cafeteria yesterday, right?"
Bai Zhi moved his chair slightly away from the other party, with a lukewarm attitude on his face.
"Since the matter has been resolved, it's best not to ask for trouble. Can't you go to find other people?" / (Brother, I have seen through your disguise, can you go to find other prey? )
"Now now~ There's no need for such a cold attitude, right? Weren't you still very enthusiastic before?" / (You chased me so frantically before, it made me feel flattered.)
Looking at the young man in front of her with one hand supporting her cheek, Lin Xiaoyi's eyes were ardent.
"Stop pretending, I already know all your secrets."
"Secret……"
Bai Zhi's face suddenly darkened.
That's right. After all, Mr. Chen doesn't exist in this world. Just with a little digging, it will be able to find out... This creature doesn’t seem to be that stupid now... It already knows that I'm not from this world?
"You can do whatever you want with it. You can tell everyone about it, and see if anyone will believe it. But I don't think anyone will believe that kind of thing. So save your energy. Besides, why can’t we just go our separate ways?"
Bai Zhi picked up his bowl, and after leaving such a sentence, he turned around and left the breakfast stall.
After all, he couldn't do anything to the other party, so it was best to stay far away.
This creature is... quite annoying.
