But his finger paused on the button to apply for assistance.
Suddenly lost in memories—
"Young Master Bai, there's a big difference between the cultivation world and the urban world. Can you guess what it is?"
"...Hint: It's related to people."
Finally, Wu Ji told him the answer with a smile.
"They don't care about human life; human life is very insignificant."
“I know you care, so I’ll tell you what Honglian will do when she sees that guy.”
"Think carefully before you summon us."
“I won’t be angry if you choose to give up. I had this thought in mind when I entrusted you with this task.”
"You are my friend, I don't want to lie to you."
Just a few seconds after Bai Weiran was lost in thought, an accident occurred.
Directly above the three, an armed man who had been hung up by Bai Weiran as a human-shaped Christmas tree forcibly pulled his hand out from the gap in the wire, took out a pistol from a hidden pocket on his left, and pointed it downwards.
Because Bai Weiran didn't have much energy left and had been expending it all the way up, he used the simplest and most convenient method to bind himself.
For a normal person, that's actually more than enough.
But he underestimated the militants who could easily do 100 push-ups with one hand.
The armed man was the one who kidnapped Chen Li; he misunderstood the relationship between Chen Li and Bai Weiran.
Bai Weiran responded to Chen Li with a smile, and everyone assumed they were friends and that Bai Weiran had come to rescue Chen Li.
Without hesitation, the armed man fired several shots at Chen Li.
As if by some strange twist of fate, driven by a survival instinct, Chen Li became alert the instant he fired the shot, his body reacting faster than his mind.
He grabbed Yuan Jixi, who was closest to him, to use as a human shield to save his life.
Yuan Jixi was staring blankly at Bai Weiran when she was pulled and staggered two steps. Before death, a person's five senses are amplified to the maximum. She could hear the bullet piercing the air, its trajectory pointing straight at the back of her head. Chen Li held her tightly, and she didn't even have a chance to escape.
A sudden, overwhelming sense of doubt pierced through Yuan Jixi.
Is this the person she chose to dedicate herself to?
She didn't feel happy, nor was she willing.
She felt only confusion and dejection.
The pain didn't come; instead, a figure suddenly appeared in front of the two, casting a shadow over them.
Yuan Jixi looked up in shock and saw a man in front of him clenching his fist and holding a phone in one hand. He opened his palm, and several bullets fell to the ground with a crisp metallic sound.
"...Mr. Chen Li, you really are..."
"It seems that facts have proven that it is easier to change mountains and rivers than to change one's nature."
With a wave of his hand, the crowd that had been running around suddenly disappeared and were collectively taken to the third floor. They looked at each other, wondering what had happened.
The four layers of curtains were quickly drawn shut, blocking out all the outside light. With a snap, the light bulb malfunctioned, the current surged to its maximum, and the armed men above were all stunned.
Chen Li couldn't see Bai Weiran's expression, but he instinctively knew something was wrong.
Things are very bad—
He tried to grab Yuan Jixi to protect her, but she suddenly lost gravity and floated into the air, far away from him.
No one was protecting him anymore, and he was forced to confront the masked man face to face.
"...You haven't used your emulator yet today."
"Mr. Chen Li, let's simulate it! See what your future holds."
It's not a request, it's an order.
Under immense pressure, Chen Li didn't even have the energy to be shocked that the other party knew about the simulator.
When the simulator finished running, his pupils dilated, his face turned pale, and cold sweat broke out. He shook his head violently, sat on the ground, and desperately retreated, like a hamster locked in a cage. He suddenly got up, ran away frantically, and shouted at the top of his lungs.
"No! Don't let her come—I don't want to see her!!!"
But wherever he ran, the door would close and lock tightly.
Bai Weiran held the phone.
Unfortunately, Mr. Chen Li, you brought this upon yourself.
[Are you sure you want to request friend assistance?]
【Sure】
[Hello, dear user, your friend's request for assistance has been successfully processed. We are waiting for your friend, "Passing By Hero," to accept your request. The countdown to acceptance is 20 seconds remaining—20, 19… Congratulations, your friend has accepted your request.]
[Please remain where you are. In ten seconds, your friend will arrive in your mission world, stay for three minutes, and provide assistance. We wish you both success in your missions.]
A burst of red light erupted in front of Bai Weiran, the airflow scattered, and the ground shattered.
The gray-haired youth and the red gun I had seen before reappeared. In the swirling dust and smoke, a red light, like a thread, pierced through the gray haze.
He looked incredibly handsome, like something out of a movie, but to Chen Li, he was a deadly demon. When he saw the red spear, his face turned ashen.
Wu Ji slung the gun over his shoulder, turned to him, and gave him a playful laugh.
“My dear Mr. Bai, I once thought you would never call me again.”
"When have I ever betrayed you?"
"Wow, how romantic! Young Master Bai, are you confessing your love to me?"
"You only have three minutes, so shut up and get down to business!"
Bai Weiran walked straight away. Wu Ji smiled and turned to look at Chen Li, who was leaning against the wall, his body limp. There was originally a hundred paces between them, but in the blink of an eye, the tip of the crimson spear was already pressed against Chen Li's throat.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Chen." Wu Ji smiled brightly, just like a handsome young man.
"I've heard so much about you, I've missed you so much!"
"My wife Honglian and I have been looking for you for a long time!!"
"...Do you still remember the oath you made before? Oh, judging from your expression, you do remember. Well then, I won't waste time with flashbacks, let's just start killing, okay?"
Push the spear tip forward—
Bai Weiran walked straight to Yuan Jixi, whose actions he was controlling, turned around, and calmly watched everything that was happening on the scene.
"Miss Yuan, there's something I want to tell you—"
Yuan Jixi was forced to turn his head, shifting his gaze from the scene to Bai Weiran, lost in thought.
The mask disappeared, revealing a face similar to [Lan Wei]'s, but with different details.
“I was the one who sent him. I take primary responsibility for what happened today.”
"This is my true appearance. I don't want you to mistake me for someone else in the future. There's a cause for every grievance, and the debtor should be held accountable. If you need someone, come to me first."
If we're friends, we should share the responsibility if something goes wrong.
Bai Weiran couldn't figure out what Yuan Jixi thought of Chen Li now.
But he wouldn't underestimate the yandere's vengeful nature.
There are countless examples in this world of people who save others only to be resented in return; he didn't feel he deserved to be thanked and fawned over.
But Bai Weiran didn't expect that Yuan Jixi's eyes would darken, not out of anger.
Torn between complex emotions, Chen Li's actions ultimately overwhelmed them, replaced by respect, admiration, and love. New buds of these emotions, nurtured by an almost pathological surge of excitement, grew wildly—
The moment Chen Li died, Bai Weiran heard a system notification.
[Dear user, murder in the parallel world of the city is a strictly regulated matter. Your friend, Passing By One-Tail Hero, has violated regulations in your world and will soon have their account suspended for investigation.]
Your user account will also be placed on a review list for close monitoring—the return process will begin immediately!
**
I was stuck today, so I'm updating late. I'm so sorry, yanderes!
There's no need to buy Yuan Jixi's stock; she and Nana are members of the main character group and will be loyal followers of Bai Shao.
Her selfless, yandere nature remains, so she'll do a lot of hilarious things after joining the group—like when our young master Bai casually mentions missing someone, only to find that person already in his bed when he goes to sleep that night… o(* ̄▽ ̄*)o
Chapter Thirty-Two: Wei Ran's Brother Goes to See Her (3K)
Bai Weiran got out of bed, still a little groggy.
He picked up his phone and saw it was 9:10. He had gone to bed at 1 a.m. last night and slept for eight hours.
"...The platform has really stopped all benefits."
He muttered to himself, scratched his head, yawned, and got up to wash up.
Since becoming a user of the app, he has never had a normal night's sleep.
All thanks to the one-hour bonus from the app, both he and Wu Ji are now under strict scrutiny. Wu Ji's account has been suspended, while he has been blacklisted and his app functions have been blocked, including withdrawals, purchasing items, and interacting with the mission world.
Bai Weiran felt that these were all fine, but the most pressing issue was sleep time.
This is really tough on overworked office workers.
But you'll have to get used to it and go back to a normal life.
The phone rang, and he went outside. Without looking to see who it was, he wiped his face with a washcloth and answered the phone.
"My dearest Bai Shao, did you sleep well?"
"...If it weren't a man calling me first thing in the morning, I think I would have slept better."
"Why are you talking about me like that? I'm worried about you. I'm a laid-back person, I eat, drink, and do whatever I want, but you love working so much that you're losing your benefits. I'm worried you'll stay up all night cultivating immortality and ascend to heaven early."
"It's alright, we've gotten by before without any problems, haven't we?"
The cheat is gone, but Bai Weiran is still Bai Weiran.
Instead, he became concerned about Wu Ji's situation.
"How's it going on your end? Everything's alright, right?"
