Jing Baiye raised his hand and shook it, looking at the tip of one of the fingers.
The nails that were removed last time have grown back.
This body is different from the first life. It will grow, bleed, and feel different emotions.
This is a living human body.
Jing Baiye closed the comic interface floating in front of him, turned his head and looked to the side. Qian Duoduo and Dora were asleep on the carpet.
Dora lay face down, with the little wings folded behind her; Qian Duoduo leaned next to it, using its furry arms as a small quilt to wrap around himself.
They accompany each other, cuddle up together, and fall asleep peacefully.
Jing Baiye originally thought that they would not get used to their new residence for a while, but now it seemed that he was overthinking it.
He didn't want to look anymore, so he looked back and sat up again.
[Sorry, host, it’s not that I didn’t tell you on purpose. It’s because we have regulations. We can only give you vague reminders and cannot tell you directly...]
The system feels a little guilty, but more worried.
There are also many hosts among its colleagues who only find themselves in a certain virtual world created by others after a long time.
Some people will accept it calmly and do whatever they want from now on; some people will go crazy and start to constantly question the authenticity of the world, and when they encounter difficulties, they will attribute it to fate; and some people will have the idea "I know all your fate."
"A sense of superiority.
Its host was once the first species.
...But now it can no longer guess what he will think.
【I should be the one to apologize.】
Jing Baiye felt embarrassed. He couldn't imagine how much the system crashed when he ignored the prompts again and again.
If he had bought the comics earlier, and known about them earlier...
He was silent again.
...If he could have known it earlier, wouldn't he be in such a difficult situation now?
【Host?】
The system discovered that its host was silent again.
【I'm fine, I'm just a little hungry.】
Jing Baiye touched his belly, and it was only then that he felt hungry.
After all, he hasn't eaten anything since he woke up in the morning.
He temporarily decided to move here. Although Spiatus arranged for people to clean it regularly, because he didn't know when someone would move in, those people did not buy food, and the refrigerator and cupboards were all empty.
The high-end tower has strict management. Takeaways and express delivery are not available, so he has to go down and get them himself. Moreover, he rarely orders takeaways. He always feels that the taste of delivered food is not as good as that of freshly cooked food.
As for going to a restaurant outside... He hasn't had a good rest since last night. He just wants to take a shower and sleep after eating, and doesn't want to run too far.
Jing Baiye thought about it and sighed softly.
In the past, in France, he lived alone and had three meals a day by himself. He occasionally went out to eat with Panno, who did not live with him.
Unexpectedly, I would have to continue living like this again.
Jing Baiye opened the system and rummaged through his backpack. A person who couldn't cook, didn't want to order takeout, and didn't want to go out to eat, had only one choice.
——Eat fast food.
…
Ten minutes later, Jing Baiye returned to the living room holding an instant noodle cup with a plastic fork stuck in the rim.
He put the instant noodles on the coffee table. This time he did not sit on the sofa, but sat cross-legged on the coffee table. There was a carpet underneath, so that he would not stain his pants when sitting.
He was lying in front of his breakfast, lunch, and maybe dinner, counting the time in his mind, but as he was counting, he began to lose focus.
I remember the first time he and Bourbon... Fangtani Rei met, it was because he came back hungry in the middle of the night to buy instant noodles. At that time, Fangtani ran over to talk to him, and was still looking at the bandages on his body while talking.
Jing Baiye put the instant noodles aside and took out a keychain and a letter pendant from the first row of the system backpack.
The keychain is made of acrylic material. Because it has experienced an explosion, it is covered with dark brown cracks and looks stained. If you hold it casually, it will completely shatter.
The letter pendant had been rubbed repeatedly, and because it had been carefully preserved, there were still obvious fingerprints on it from that time.
This is Toru Amuro's stuff.
Among the three subordinates, Jianggu Ling was the most embarrassed for Jing Baiye.
In the original comics, he did not have dissociation disorder, it was only after he met him.
Jing Baiye looked at the keychain that carried a lot, and touched it carefully with her fingers, not daring to touch it too hard.
——"Were you very disappointed when you saw me in the hotel last time?"
When he said these words, there was no trace of the tenderness in those purple-gray eyes, only hatred that penetrated deep into his bones.
Among the three undercover agents, Zhufu Jingguang hesitated and struggled with him, Akai Shuichi was more interested in him than the others, and only Fengtani Rei...
He hated him from the bottom of his heart.
The sofa and coffee table were not far from the floor-to-ceiling windows. The afterglow of the setting sun fell on Jing Baiye. In this warm orange light, he lowered his head.
He knows.
Amuro can't come back anymore.
Dissociation is not without cause. The completely different looks and attitudes of Toru Amuro and Rei Fukiya made him more or less guess what it was.
Toru Amuro was born because of Rei Fukutani's positive emotion towards him - or to put it more crudely, love - but now Fukiya only has hatred and hatred for him, and Amuro will never come out again.
Jing Baiye felt that her eyes were astringent. She wondered if it was because she didn't get a good rest last night.
He blinked, took out a delicate small box from the system backpack, put the acrylic keychain and the letter pendant in it, closed it and put it back in the first compartment of the backpack.
Then he took out a book.
This is the reward he received after completing [Nidhogg of Despair].
[Item name: Book (disposable), Price: Not for sale
Note: Ignore logic, no need for cause and effect, just write what you want above and everything will become a reality. But remember, you only have one chance.
ps: Time and death cannot be rewritten.】
In order to better absorb energy, the system will provide the host with skills or items that are enough to dominate the world.
For example, his exclusive skill [Devil Contract] can turn other people's entire families into his slaves.
The special item [book] obtained now can easily rewrite the entire world.
…
Jing Baiye's three subordinates are all undercover agents.
In the past he could have tried to cover it up, and after the rest of the organization knew, he had to deal with the problem.
But he really doesn't know how to solve it.
Facing Scotland last night, he vowed that he would find a way to get the best of both worlds, but he knew that their positions were completely different. This was just another self-deception on his part.
Jing Baiye looked at the [book] and its description, and a secret part of his heart was deeply touched.
This is a comic world.
The looks, personalities, and experiences of many of his acquaintances, including his three undercover men, were all designed.
——With just a few strokes from the creator, their stance can change drastically.
Then...can he solve it in this way?
Or to be more extreme, Bourbon is patriotic, so he holds his beloved Japan in his hands and kneads it flat. Whether it develops, declines or is destroyed, it all depends on his thoughts.
By then Bourbon will not resist him.
Never dare to resist him.
——He will truly become a pet in his mouth, with all dignity and personality lost.
It was eerily quiet all around.
After Jing Baiye stopped talking, there was no sound at all around him, and the system did not make a sound.
Those dark thoughts became more and more turbulent like a tide. When Jing Baiye came back to his senses, he had already taken out the [book].
"..."
He looked at the blank page in front of him, his fingers trembling slightly. But in the end he took a deep breath and suppressed all those thoughts.
...He can't do that.
He has the absolute power to dominate others, but he prefers an equal relationship.
Just like discussing tasks with Gin and going out for dinner with Shirley, this made him happier than those controlled by skills doing their best to serve and please him.
Jing Baiye doesn't want to turn the beings she likes into slaves, letting them become pets living in fear or even despair.
Once they get to this point, they are no longer themselves.
"Buzz."
The phone vibrated suddenly. Jing Baiye put the [book] back in his backpack and picked up the phone to check.
[Next Monday I will let you attend the Karasuma Group's board of directors, and you will officially appear in front of others as the heir. In addition, I have prepared two birthday gifts for you. You can choose one after the meeting.
】
Jing Baiye looked at the time and saw that it was three days later when he sent a reply to Spiatus.
[I know. Should I go there by myself, or will someone pick me up?——angostura]
【Ireland will come to pick you up.】
Jing Baiye put away her phone, took the instant noodles on one side, and opened the lid.
