Chapter 236 - Battle Royale: Jedi (Finished)
After the launch event, Chi Xiaochi was invited to a dinner party.
The people at the dinner were all of high status, and as they mingled, everyone was getting close to him for various reasons, without making a sound.
Someone asked what Mr. White’s next plans were, and whether he wanted to join a national research department that would specialise in research on psychics.
Chi Xiaochi politely said with his glass in hand, “Thank you, I do need an Institute for Exalts, with a paleontology institute, a remote location would be best, an island, deep in the mountains or something, where I can be free from disturbance and still be able to study …… By the way, it would be best if I could see the stars.”
Bai Anyi is an average drinker, and after a few glasses of bubbly, she was already tipsy.
The organisers sent a good car to take him back to the hotel where he was staying.
Falling back into the soft bed, Chi Xiaochi strapped off his shoes and socks, fumbled with his mobile phone in his hand, looked at the screen with blank eyes and confirmed that the last two shifters had also sent a ‘safe arrival’ notification before throwing the phone onto the carpet, pulling the covers over his head and falling back to sleep.
Lou Ying reminded him, “It’s not very comfortable to sleep with your clothes on. Get up and take them off.”
Chi Xiaochi sleeps unconscious under the covers.
Lou Ying let out a small sigh and landed in his form, about to take his hand outside the quilt and tuck it in, when another hand appeared out of nowhere and squeezed his.
” Bai Anyi” said, “I’ll do it.”
Lou Ying : “I’ll do it.”
” Bai Anyi” said, ” Bai Anyi he is not used to being touched.”
Lou Ying doesn’t budge at all: “Xiaochi isn’t used to it either.”
The result of the bilateral consultation was that “Bai Anyi” was responsible for tucking in the blankets and Lou Ying was responsible for disintegrating the clothes straight off his body.
…… Chi Xiaochi finally got a good night’s sleep in the sky.
Three days of fighting and calculating, nearly a month of hiding and brokering, and finally reaching a happy ending, would have been something to rejoice about.
Still, “Bai Anyi” is hardly a regret.
He said, “It’s cheap for the two hundred and fifty people who are discriminating.”
Lou Ying sat on the bed and looked down at Chi Xiaochi: “Didn’t we discuss that disclosing the existence of the spores was the best way known at the moment?”
If the existence of the spores is concealed, Bai Anyi can indeed become the most powerful psychic in the world with the help of the spores.
The price he paid, however, was an endless and prolonged hunt and the entirely foreseeable world-class upheaval of.
If the spores continue to grow like this, in as little as three years, or as much as five, once the number of psychics is completely dominant, one can only imagine what the tortured psychics will do to ordinary people in the face of years of oppression and discrimination.
In the words of Chi Xiaochi, it’s a pain in the ass, so instead of doing this, we should just come out and be a benefactor to all of humanity.
Chi Xiaochi and Lou Ying have experienced discrimination in the second world.
Sexual orientation, geography, and people of colour are all targets of discrimination.
At the root of discrimination’s existence is a natural sense of superiority and a lack of awareness.
Now, with a single shovel, Chi Xiaochi has loosened the very foundation on which the discriminators were built.
–If the colourist knows that one day he will slowly change colour, or the geographically discriminated knows that he may move to a place he now despises, or the sexist knows that one day he will wake up in the arms of someone of the same sex, even if the discrimination still exists, they will at least have the presence of mind to find out more about them misogyny that they once didn’t even bother to take the time to notice.
And understanding is the first step towards an equal dialogue.
”Foolishness is a sin, but not a sin to die for.” Lou Ying said softly, “Even though five years have passed, it is good to know that it can still be redeemed.”
” Bai Anyi” looked at the man on the bed, pondered for a long time and suddenly snapped, “His name is Chi Xiaochi ?”
Lou Ying didn’t quite understand what he meant, but replied, “Yes.”
”How old are you?”
”Twenty-six at the time of the accident. It’s hard to say now.”
”High school dropout, shrewd, smart and calculating, but game operation is a mess ……”
”Bai Anyi” combed through all the messages he had gotten in these days related to Chi Xiaochi and wanted to try to remember this person.
Because he had a feeling that Chi Xiaochi would pull out at any moment, having reached this point.
For the first time in his life, he wants to try to remember another person besides Bai Anyi: “…… career?”
Lou Ying replied, “Actors.”
”Acting ……”
The answer to this question was both a surprise to “Bai Anyi” and a feeling of “really”.
He really didn’t know what to say, so he had to laugh and say, “I have to say, he’s really not a very good actor as Little White Boy, not at all.”
”It’s never Bai Anyi he’s playing.” Lou Ying raised his eyes and his voice was gentle but to the point, “…… is you.”
Given the character of the real Bai Anyi, it would have been too difficult for him to cope with either the killings or the interviews, cross-examination and questioning.
On the contrary, both the former and the latter, are the strong points of ” Bai Anyi “.
Thus, from the very beginning, Chi Xiaochi intentionally and unintentionally imitates the character of ‘Bai Anyi’ and leaves the way open for the real Bai Anyi.
A small island, a distant mountain, a paleontological institute equipped with a full range of resources and a sky full of stars.
It is the perfect place to heal the wound.
Chi Xiaochi invites Bai Anyi to stay with him, but he covers the door quietly.
At some point, ” Bai Anyi” disappeared.
Lou Ying sits by Chi Xiaochi’s bedside from dawn until darkness falls, until Chi Xiaochi under the covers lets out a long, soothing breath and he reabsorbs his form and rejoins his body.
Chi Xiaochi, after gradually waking up, stared at the dark ceiling and said, “…… Brother Lou, let’s go.”
Lou Ying knew he was planning to leave, but he didn’t expect it to be so soon: “Okay. Then we’ll go back and rest.”
”It’s not rested.” Chi Xiaochi climbed to his feet, “Let’s go to the next world.”
”Is …… in such a hurry?”
Chi Xiaochi asked rhetorically, “How many more missions does 089 have?”
Lou Ying thought it was unusual that Chi Xiaochi was so bent on speed: “Something to do with him?”
”Just asking.” Chi Xiaochi noticed the honey water for the hangover on the bed and touched the back of her hand to the wall of the glass, the water was still warm, “…… for me?”
To this day, Lou Ying’s warmth in the smallest detail is too much for Chi Xiaochi to take comfortably.
Only after receiving the affirmative answer, Chi Xiaochi cupped his glass of water tightly and took a sip, one hand unconsciously protecting it, as if he was afraid that someone would snatch his glass away, which made Lou Ying both heartbroken and a little amused: “089…… I went back to the Lord GOD system yesterday and heard that he had been transferred by Lord I heard that he was transferred by Lord GOD to work overtime for other systems, the task is well done, there are still more than 300, almost 400 numbers to go before the job is finished. Any more questions?”
”There’s one more.” Chi Xiaochi drained the honey water: “Our last world, is it long?”
Lou Ying shook his head, “I’m not sure about that.”
He would have liked Chi Xiaochi to have stayed here and in the last world for longer.
According to his contract with Lord GOD, after completing his contract with Chi Xiaochi, he has to take a host and complete 10 worlds before he can return to the world with Chi Xiaochi in it.
……10 worlds is just too long.
Despite this thought, Lou Ying prefers to respect Chi Xiaochi’s choice.
As he wanted to be quick, he was quick.
With Lou Ying’s permission, Chi Xiaochi let Jiao Qingguang’s remorse level, which had been rising since the morning, rise successfully to the top, docked with the system and accepted the transmission.
As his consciousness drifted, he saw ” Bai Anyi” standing at the bathroom door.
The man who had always acted cold-hearted and cold-hearted, bent down and gave him a silent bow.
Before Chi Xiaochi could respond, his consciousness slipped into the infinite depths of the ocean.
……
Host code: No. 1198
Name of host: Chi Xiaochi
World Difficulty Rating: S
World completion: 100
Host status assessment: all functions are good and stable, ready for transmission.
Total entropy obtained: 5310 (below the average of 6110)
……
System Lord GOD’s regular monthly meetings are held at the end of the month, on time.
As the Lord GODs teleported from their respective Lord GOD spaces and walked in twos and threes towards the main conference room, a young man with a single dimple in his reborn system, Lord GOD, saw the back of an acquaintance ahead of him and his atrophied spirit shook, “Jagged Attack! Scum attack-”
A man with a bored face and a clear, pale face turned back to me and said impatiently, “Don’t call me that.”
Ignoring his coldness, young Lord GOD came up to enquire, “How did that last mission go? Any takers?”
The man’s lips, too sharp from being too thin, pursed coldly, “Which one?”
”No one wants that ah.” The young little Lord GOD walked up to him, walking backwards, his little mouth blathering, “I still remember it now, the task commissioner’s surname is Bai, not very old, but the difficulty of that task …… good guy, the revenge system suspected that the possibility of death is too high, will endanger the personal safety of the host and the system, refused to take it; the great escape system because the tasker The system has been hanging there for months because of the unknown abilities of the taskmaster, but no one has taken it. I heard that you took it?”
The man didn’t want to talk much: “Well,”
”O fierce man. How dare you touch this hot potato?” The young Lord GOD tried to find out more interesting gossip to enrich his uninteresting life, “Besides, that task doesn’t overlap much with your line of business, why would you think of taking on a job like that for yourself?”
The man’s lips picked disdainfully, and he looked just a little bit shady: “We have capable people in the system, and he’s taken over.”
Young Lord GOD was amazed: “Someone really has the guts to take it? That’s good, what’s the situation?”
At the mention of this, the man’s face became extremely subtle. Not like anger, but even less like joy.
He said briefly, “…… solved it.”
Naturally, young Lord GOD was not satisfied with such a bland answer, “What do you mean by solved? Did he really manage to get out of that world of consciousness?”
”More than that.” The man said with a leathery grin, “He made that world accept the existence of shifter.”
Young little Lord GOD’s deer eyes glazed over, “…… How is this possible?”
”It’s more than that.” The man bristled, getting angrier as he spoke, “The state didn’t want him, and gave him the highest honor, allocating him an island to focus on the secrets of psychic powers and evolution. He’s got a new love interest and a new life ……”
…… That is indeed a wonderful and simple new life.
The sea is invisible, incomparable and simple”, says Duras in his Lover.
This simplicity, as if to compensate for Bai Anyi’s past injuries.
But only Bai Anyi and “Bai Anyi” know who secured this compensation for them.
The island is equipped with more than seventy national researchers, a one-square-kilometre research institute, two researchers’ dormitories, and a huge detached villa dedicated to Bai Anyi.
After a very busy day, Bai Anyi changed her clothes and prepared to leave work, only to remember that she had left a copy of Wen in the staff lounge.
Cable TV in the staff lounge.
When he entered, a science programme related to psychic powers was being shown on the television.
The presenter spoke eloquently: “As a result of Dr Bai Anyi’s evolutionary theory, several countries have abolished the ‘collar’, a stigmatising marker for psychics, and replaced it with a bracelet to register information about psychics. As a result of the new policy, there has been a significant decline in the crime rate in society. People have learnt to respect ……” when every person who walks in front of them could be an Alter.
He had just picked up the Wen file when one of the researchers called out to him, “Boss.”
Bai Anyi looked up, “Well?”
His voice was gentle, but the researcher was blustered.
No one in the Institute knows that the dean is unpredictable, sometimes too good to be true, but sometimes too cold and lonely, the extremes of good and bad temperament are like two people.
Coupled with the fact that his powers are the highest known, level 3S, who would dare treat him with disrespect?
The researcher stammered a bit and said, “I have some family matters, my mother is not very well lately and was hospitalized yesterday, so I think …… I would like to take three days off and follow the ship that came to deliver the supplies. You see ……”
Bai Anyi said readily, “Sure, I have to go home for family matters, but my mother’s health is more important than work. If you want to renew your leave, just call me and let me know.”
The researcher’s mind was relieved.
…… had a lucky day and ran into the good-natured Bai Anyi.
He paused, but couldn’t resist, “Boss, I’ve heard one more thing. It has to do with you.”
Bai Anyi holds the Wen piece and stops to listen.
The researcher said, “It’s not that I want to deliberately pry into your privacy, it’s just that the story has spread so widely ……”
This is true. Bai Anyi has been one of the world’s most valuable scholars ever since he proved the role of spores in human evolution on volunteer experimenters.
Naturally, people are curious about such a legendary figure who came out of the slaughterhouse, and are eager to dig up all the information about his ancestors.
Only Bai Anyi is destined to disappoint the gossips.
Bai Anyi remains an orphan in the many available sources.
Chi Jiangyu, the so-called “cousin”, has been completely erased from people’s memories, becoming a phantom that exists only in the minds of two people.
Bai Anyi was disappointed at the thought: “What is it, you say?”
”It’s that ex of yours ……” the researcher lowered his voice, “He was previously resistant, like many extreme discriminators, from taking too many drugs that inhibit the production of Class A globulin, I hear he’s now trying to get the drugs that stimulate globulin production, but he was discouraged from the school because of the rather bad social impact he caused I hear he is now having a ……”
Bai Anyi gave a “hmm”, not very responsive.
The Jiao Qingguang affair has hardly caused him any emotional turmoil.
To be precise, the man had been dead in his mind since he was reported by Jiao Qingguang and sent to an institution.
The researcher breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his reaction was flat: “I just wanted to say, Dean White, that such a man is not worth it. You’re bound to meet someone better.”
Bai Anyi winked and smiled warmly, “Thank you.”
After sending off the researcher who thanked him profusely, Bai Anyi returned to the villa.
The main course is the freshest sea urchin braised with prawns, the best sea urchin ever prepared, not smelling fishy at all, sweet as can be, served on a wooden plate, drizzled with ginger sauce and served with hand-battered pure eel fish slip soup, one bite of fish is enough to soothe any tiredness.
Such a sumptuous and extravagant dinner, you can imagine whose handiwork it was.
Bai Anyi understood, sat down dutifully, ate a meal by herself in front of the mirror, went back into the bathroom, red-faced, looked in the mirror and washed herself clean.
Wiping the water off her body, Bai Anyi stood in front of the mirror without any clothes on, wiped the water off the mirror and gently pressed her palm against the surface.
Even though this is not the first time Bai Anyi has done this, her face is still burning.
Not daring to look directly into the mirror, he said in a small voice, “It’s been a long time.”
The five fingers close to him in the mirror moved violently, snapping his hand threateningly and pulling him into his arms, and Bai Anyi was met uncontrollably with a warm, naked body.
The person in the mirror held his bloodless hands in one strong grip, and with the other hand, he embraced his waist and lifted him up with just one arm.
He whispered in his ear, in a voice exactly like his, and with the sound of the waves being blown in by the sea breeze outside the window, against his ear, “…… Come on, let’s go see the stars.”
……
After listening to the man’s brief account, the young Lord GOD was dumbfounded: “Holy shit, your staff is good enough, this has to earn that bastard Jiao a lot of remorse value, it’s enough to be an excellent employee. I’ll bring him to me at the end of the year. I’d like to see what kind of immortal he is and what he looks like.”
”Of course it’s good. He did make me a lot of money this time.” At the little Lord GOD’s reminder, the man finally remembered the same happy thing, smoothed out his messy hair and said slowly, “…… as long as he can come.”
”What, he’s graduating?”
”There is still one last world to go.”
”So.” Young little Lord GOD couldn’t help but regret, “Isn’t that quick?”
The man gave a rare smile, “That’s not necessarily true. …… It could be a long, long, long world.”
Chi Xiaochi, having accepted the transmission, immediately chose to shake the number and move on to the next world.
He fell from one deep sea and into another.
After the vague sensation of suffocation, consciousness gradually returned to clarity, and like a fish floating on the surface, a voice invaded his consciousness as the dark silence around him began to fade as he drew closer to the water.
” Chi Xiaochi ……”
Chi Xiaochi had not heard his name called for a long time and wondered drowsily who it was.
Is that Lou?
But as far as he can remember, Lou’s brother rarely called him by his first name ……
” Chi Xiaochi .”
When the voice sounded again, he regained possession of his limbs.
Chi Xiaochi could feel that he was in a sitting position, that his head was resting on his arms, that his consciousness had become physical, heavy, crashing down on his head and telling him to catch his breath a little.
” Chi Xiaochi!!!”
Chi Xiaochi awoke from his hallucinatory dream with a cry of anger, accompanied by a slight stinging pain when a small object hit the back of his head.
He lifted his eyes and habitually called out in his mind, “Six ……”
…… He couldn’t get a word out.
”Well, you slept well, ah.” The man on the podium knocked the blackboard eraser on the lectern to scatter the dust, a face puffed with a cloud of dust, ” Chi Xiaochi , did your parents spend money to send you to school or to sit on the moon? Are you burning your buns for your high school entrance exams?”
Mr. Xu, Stephen Hui, junior high school physics teacher, gagged as Xu Da Pants.
He came to class one summer in a pair of jeans, spitting about elasticity, and in the heat of the moment, he said, “Look, class, this is elasticity.
He did a high lift and set his leg up on the podium in an attempt to do a live teaching session.
The result was a bang of the trousers and a split in the ‘crotch’, hence the name Xu Da Pants.
Chi Xiaochi was so impressed because he was the one who gave him the nickname.
Chi Xiaochi’s tablemate, a rather thin and short man, saw him looking at him and immediately whispered in his own defense: “I’m not to blame, you couldn’t hear me even though Lao Xu called you so many times ……”
Chi Xiaochi is at a loss for words.
Dream on, he thought.
To make sure he was dreaming, Chi Xiaochi lowered his head.
There are basketball magazines and textbooks lying in the belly of the table, a shoulder bag hanging from a rusty hook on the side of the table, and a small sticker from the previous owner taped to the table, the face of the man in the sticker has been manually sharpened so that you can’t really see it, but can only identify it as a handsome man by its outline.
…… If this is really a dream, the Duke of the Week is a real fucking detail man.
Chi Xiaochi begins to take a closer look at herself.
He wore a loose blue and white school uniform in a sailor’s colour scheme, with long sleeves pulled loosely up to his elbows, revealing slender little arms and thin elbow bones, and the machine embroidered school crest was worn white, with two spikes of thread emerging from it.
He crooked the top of his foot a little and clearly saw the black pattern on his right ankle bone.
Chi Xiaochi remembers that he was a sprout in the second semester of his first year, and the new uniform number he changed in the first semester of his second year was small again in the second half of the semester, and his trousers were quite short, and he was in no hurry to change them, so he bought a cheap black tattoo sticker, cut his ordinary white socks short into the later immensely popular boat socks, and paired them with white board shoes, with the tattoo sticker on his exposed right ankle.
Little girls of this age are already gender conscious and often make a point of running in between classes, pointing and chattering out of the window in order to gather around a foot.
Chi Xiaochi knows he’s handsome.
What good-looking person has not been complimented from a young age.
He is therefore never shy about showing his charms to others.
Xu Da Pants was still chattering away at him, but the words sifted through Chi Xiaochi’s buzzing brain.
All he could see was a face that had long been blurred in his memory, but now looked incredibly familiar.
All he could see was a pile of Happy Summer Vacation books for various subjects laid out in one corner of the table, with pictures of smiling, mentally handicapped children, and had no idea why doing homework made them so happy.
All he could see was a corner of the blackboard that read “340 days until the midterm”.
The blackboard around the number “340” was erased and whitened.
From the first day of Chi Xiaochi Junior School, the class teacher starts counting down, in the name of developing a sense of tension.
340 days to SSC ……
’Happy Summer’, Summer Vacation ……
…… The summer of the second year of school has not yet begun.
Chi Xiaochi grabbed his bag and ran out of the classroom door.
Ignoring Mr Xu’s exasperated shouts behind him, Chi Xiaochi jumped down the stairs five steps at a time.
There is a voice in the back of my head that echoes vaguely, but Chi Xiaochi doesn’t want to bother with it.
One may have fallen asleep in class and had an incredibly long precognitive dream of the future.
My future self, with its glamorous appearance, respectable status and countless riches, but only without Lou Bro.
Now the dream has woken up and he is going to see Lou.
”……Xiaochi!!!”
A voice in the back of his head finally brought Chi Xiaochi’s out-of-control sanity back into focus a little.
Chi Xiaochi stands on the last step of the ground floor of the school building, her hand shaking slightly as she carries her school bag.
Lou Ying’s voice gentled when she stopped him in his tracks, “What’s wrong with you? Where are you going?”
Chi Xiaochi’s perception saws back and forth between reality and illusion as he presses the base of his palm hard against his left eye, forcing himself to calm down: “…… Is this a mission?”
Lou Ying is quite incredible.
There is a slight mis-timing of Lou Ying and Chi Xiaochi’s transmissions, and when he opens his eyes, he finds himself in a classroom where he sits in the middle of the third row, with a handful of notes and a drawing of a puppy in front of him.
The teacher was talking in front of him, and he froze for a moment before remembering to make a conscious connection with Chi Xiaochi.
When he connected, he saw Chi Xiaochi, who had fled from the classroom in a frenzy.
”It’s certainly a mission, how do you ……”
Lou Ying closed the notebook on her desk when the teacher asked everyone to take out their exercise books.
However, the two words on the name field on the cover of the notebook told him that he could not say a word.
” Lou Ying “.
