She rushed up behind Mengmeng in three quick steps. Mengmeng had just won a round and was about to proudly perform a triumphant dance when she was suddenly grabbed from behind, startling her so much that her bright red eyes widened in fright.

"Mengmeng, my adorable Mengmeng."

"…………? Shimo, what's wrong?"

"You're my best friend, right?"

Mengmeng was a little confused. Her eyes widened, and she was at a loss. Her voice suddenly became very soft.

"...Oh, well, I think...I want to be Shimo's best friend. I would be so happy if Shimo could be my best friend. I don't know if I am Shimo's best friend..."

"Yes, you are!" Bai Shimo interrupted her without room for argument, while holding Mengmeng's little hand.

"Then, as my best friend, could you please grant me a request? I beg you, this is very important, this is my request for life—"

Before Mengmeng could react, the door was opened and Bai Weiran walked in, his face unusually sullen. He ignored An Qin, Yuan Jixi, and Nana who greeted him and walked straight towards Bai Shimo.

Bai Shimo reacted quickly, turning her gaming chair around and shoving Mengmeng in front of her like an eagle catching a chick.

Mengmeng was confused and didn't know what was going on, but she keenly sensed that Bai Weiran's expression was off, so she didn't dare to pounce on him as recklessly as usual.

Bai Weiran tried to bypass Mengmeng to catch her, but Bai Shimo hid behind Mengmeng and spun the gaming chair around. The more Bai Weiran chased, the faster Bai Shimo pushed. Mengmeng, who was sitting in the middle of the chair and being spun around, gripped the armrest and her eyes started to feel dizzy.

Bai Weiran had no choice but to stop chasing.

"...Bai Shimo, come here."

"You think you can just tell me to go? Who do you think you are?"

"I'm your brother!"

"Oh ho, you're my brother, but you're not a siscon, and your sister isn't your sister. Your sister is free, she's a person with free will. You can't just tell me to go there and expect me to!"

Bai Weiran: …………

"You don't have to come, but you can delete the video."

"What video? I don't know what video you're talking about."

This little devil not only used his superpowers to stage a scene of pulling up a radish, but also recorded the entire process on his phone.

The planner really had no sense of shame; he was wearing a mask, and no one knew his identity.

But everyone in the room knew his real identity and recognized him as the person in the video.

As Bai Weiran, he still needs to maintain a dignified position among the people in this room.

Once he realized this, he couldn't simply let the matter pass by unnoticed.

She can't be dealt with in other worlds, so why can't she be dealt with in the present world?

"Hand over your phone."

"Brother, what are you talking about? For today's college students, a cell phone is like my wife. You're asking me to hand over my wife? Are you trying to bully me?!"

Bai Weiran said something, and Bai Shimo retorted, causing Nana, Yuan Jixi, and An Qin to forget what they had just done and focus only on watching the siblings sniping at each other in the middle.

The Bai siblings were from the same school and it was hard to tell who was better. When Bai Weiran lost his patience and was about to grab someone again, Bai Shimo seized the opportunity and pushed Mengmeng forward into Bai Weiran's arms.

"Mengmeng, you have to help me. Aren't we best friends?"

When Mengmeng was pushed over, she immediately turned into an octopus, instinctively hugging the person tightly, and only realized what was happening after a second.

"...?"

"Since we're good friends, you have to help me and stop my brother from bullying me!"

“…But Bai Weiran wouldn’t bully people!” Mengmeng retorted without even thinking.

Bai Shimo choked for half a second.

"Okay! Mengmeng, between the person you like and your best friend, you'll choose the person you like, right!?"

You scoundrel who forgets his friends for a pretty face!

"I...I'm not!"

"Don't make things difficult for Mengmeng!" Bai Weiran frowned and interjected.

Mengmeng is very clever, but she is still too kind in front of Bai Shimo, a willful and mischievous little devil.

With Bai Weiran's support, Mengmeng immediately stood up.

"Yes, Shimo, I'm not someone who forgets friends for the sake of beauty; I'm helping those who are right, not those who are close to me!" she said, puffing out her chest with conviction.

"I trust Bai Weiran's character. Bai Weiran doesn't lie; he has always been fair. This is based on my own judgment and trust in him!"

Bai Shimo pursed her lips, then rolled her eyes and gave a mischievous smile.

"Wait a minute, Mengmeng, you're siding with your friend instead of the truth!"

"...?"

"Don't you want me to call you 'little sister-in-law'?" Bai Shimo clutched her chest, feigning injury.

"You don't want me to call you sister-in-law? No way, Mengmeng, so you don't consider me family?"

She sighed deeply—

"Well, there's nothing I can do, I'll just have to call someone else's sister-in-law—"

The scene fell silent for a moment.

Nana, Yuan Jixi, and An Qin saw the white-haired, red-eyed girl and jumped up, tackling the unsuspecting young man to the ground.

"Leave this to me!"

The word "sister-in-law" has more magic than a thousand spells.

Bai Shimo, feeling light and agile, walked past Bai Weiran, who was entangled, and went out to the top floor, where she leaned against the railing and looked out.

"What can I say about this? My poor brother, he's suffering the consequences of his karma—"

Her phone rang.

"Yes, I told my brother."

"A workaholic who just came out of a mental hospital would naturally crave such a good thing—"

"But at the same time, he also made another request of me."

Chapter 49 The world is missing a disciplinary committee member

His requirement was—to distribute his abilities so that those he chose to surround him could act as a check and balance on him.

When Bai Shimo heard this, she raised an eyebrow slightly behind her mask and asked the person who was planted in the ground.

Why do you want to do this?

"Managers are the creators of rules. Not only is their energy usage unlimited, but they can also set rules. They can do anything that far exceeds the limits of human imagination. Distributing this ability is not a very rational thing to do."

"...I know that I have gained some understanding of the boundaries of energy these days, but only a superficial understanding. I am still unclear about its power limits, origins, and underlying logic. But I will gradually understand these things in the future. I just don't want such great power to belong to me alone."

"I've only ever heard of 'not enough,' never 'too much.' Aren't you being a little too willful? This... isn't a brother who's a sister-complex."

“Because absolute power corrupts absolutely.” Bai Weiran’s voice was calm.

"I am the only one with completely unequal abilities, while they can only survive by relying entirely on my emotions. I have become an unparalleled existence in this world. When the cost of leaving a person becomes infinitely small, it is the ultimate test of human greed."

"I have never believed that human greed can be cured, including my own. We all know that money and interests are unreliable. In the end, we can only trust people's character. Mountains may crumble, and people may run away."

"But we live and can never escape these considerations. When the underlying relationships between people are no longer based on equality and shared interests, but only on dependence, love, endless respect and infatuation, and all relationships are built on dependence on the character of others, it is no different from gambling with human nature. Gambling is unrealistic, and unrealistic things will perish sooner or later."

"...User Weiran, so many unrealistic things are happening around you, are you still going to use realistic logic to investigate them?"

"Why not? Real-life events are always more surreal than you can imagine—but things between people can't be surreal; relationships between people can only be real."

"No matter the reason, now that I have met them and they are by my side, it is my duty to consider their future and my future."

"Oh wow, how long have you been thinking about this?"

“Very long.”

"...No wonder you look older. I thought it was from working overtime and staying up late!"

"After all, it's my fault. I provoked them and they chased me all the way here."

"...Why don't you say you saved them?" Bai Shimo retorted.

"If you hadn't intervened, they wouldn't be where they are today. They would have perished along with the people they first met from the very beginning, dying in vain in a relationship they couldn't even define. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Thinking about it this way, you are their great benefactor."

"Even if they are my benefactors, do I have the right to turn around and demand to plunder their entire lives?" Bai Weiran laughed.

"I'm not worthy, and no one in this world is—"

"The two things I can do to deal with this are: first, find a place where we can live together; second, I hope to share my abilities with them so that we can be equals."

"I understand the first point, but the second point... I don't understand."

"Let them have the power to kill me at any time!"

"If I change my mind and have superhuman abilities, then they'll be powerless against me, won't they? I'll be worse than the people they've encountered before."

Do you think you might change your mind?

"I don't know, but who knows what will happen in the future? When I was young, I liked to make absolute statements and talk about forever, but now I only know that I should always make a contingency plan."

"Then let them have the same ability." He chuckled softly.

"That way they won't have to fear my betrayal. They can put their hands on my neck and strangle me while I'm asleep at any time, and I will have to be wary of them because of that."

"Good grief, you don't want a monarchy, you want a federal system—"

"You could say that."

"Tsk tsk, among all the users, you're really something else. Everyone wants to be as strong as possible—most male users like this feeling. Anyway, since you like me, I'll just accept it because I'm so strong and so good."

“I also think I’m pretty good, but as I said, human greed has no end, but people have reason, and at least we should shut the door on these greedy beasts… Or you can think of it from another angle, I just want to be lazy.”

"...?"

"If the manager is male, there's always the possibility of him embezzling from his position. But if the manager has a bunch of yandere wives around him, they can keep an eye on me, and at the same time, I don't have to worry about them embezzling from the task recipients at all."

"Holy crap, a yandere treating a yandere, huh? What a refreshing and unconventional option!"
