Spiritual Recovery: Gamification of Reality

Chapter 19

“Protect me?”

“Yeah.”

“There’s something even more terrifying?”

“Right.”

“…”

When Xu Bai heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched.

If it weren’t for the fact that he knew that his disciple was superstitious and adorable, he would have thought of her as a narcissist.

He took my credit and wants me feel grateful?

Tsk tsk.

Xu Bai smacked his lips and could not help but shake his head. He looked at Su Meng and said, “Your uncle is beyond words.”

Su Meng’s uncle shamelessness definitely made him a good politician. No wonder he was able to become the Deputy Director of Homeland Security Operations before he was even 30 years old.

“That’s not true.”

Although Su Meng was a little dense, she could still hear the sarcasm in Xu Bai’s words. She shook her head, “What my uncle said is true, but I don’t understand it right now. However, my uncle said that the person we killed wasn’t Liu San, but Xiao Jingtian. He has an older brother called Xiao Jingnan. He’s a wanted criminal in the security bureau. If Xiao Jingnan finds out that his younger brother was killed, he’ll definitely go crazy.”

Xiao Jingtian’s brother…

Xiao Jingnan?

Xu Bai raised his eyebrows. He recalled what the female detective Gu Hongxue had said before she left the department.

So, the person Gu Hongyu was referring to was Xiao Jingnan?

Xu Bai raised his eyebrows.

After Su Meng was done?speaking, she glanced at Xu Bai’s face and lowered her head. “My uncle said that if it was found out that you were the one who killed him, Xiao Jingnan would definitely come looking for you. You’d be in danger.”

Xu Bai came back to his senses and looked at the worried Su Meng. He did not think that she was putting on an act. Su Meng wasn’t capable of that.

“Then you won’t be in danger if you say that you killed him?”

“That would also be dangerous.”

Su Meng then changed the topic and said, “But if you say that I killed him, Uncle will arrange for the increased security to ensure Xiao Jingnan stays imprisoned.”

As he spoke.

Su Meng’s voice gradually lowered. Then, she looked at Xu Bai’s face and said in a low voice, “Of course, Uncle can also arrange for me join this operation team and this case.”

Xu Bai looked at Su Meng.

When Su Meng said that, he understood.

No wonder Su Meng’s uncle thought that Xu Bai would not be angry after stealing his credit. Instead, he would thank him.

Indeed.

From Su Meng’s uncle perspective, this was a time bomb. Even if the bomb didn’t blow up Xu Bai, it would still tick.

However, if the blame for killing Jingtian was in Su Meng’s hands, he could manage the blowback.

‘That’s high.’

Xu Bai nodded and said from the bottom of his heart, “Your uncle is a qualified politician.”

The last time he said that, he was mocking her, but this time, Xu Bai was sincere.

At this moment, he thought of the Homeland Security duo who had been squatting in the car outside all morning and left before Su Meng arrived.

Su Meng’s uncle was so sure that I would agree to his request after Su Meng came to look for me?

Xu Bai sucked in a breath of cold air and started to think.

Su Meng lowered her head and observed her master’s expression from the corner of her eye.

Initially, she disagreed to her uncle’s request to take credit for her master’s accomplishment. But when he said that Xu Bai would be in danger if she did not do so, Su Meng hesitated.

She didn’t want to join the Special Disaster Operations Group, but she didn’t want to see her master in danger either.

‘So…’

Half an hour later.

Su Meng lowered her head and followed Xu Bai out of the barbeque shop. Then, she walked along the road outside the old factory.

Not far away, a black car was parked quietly by the side of the road.

“Master?”

“Yeah.”

A bodyguard got out of the car and opened the door to the backseat for Su Meng. When Su Meng was about to get into the car, she looked at Xu Bai, who had his hands in his pockets. “I won’t join the department. I want to be with you.”

Xu Bai was slightly stunned.

However, before he could say anything, Su Meng, whose ears had turned a little red, spun around and got into the car before Xu Bai could say anything.

The bodyguard in black glanced at Xu Bai and nodded formally. He got into the driver’s seat, and in less than three seconds, drove Su Meng away.

Xu Bai’s eyes flickered as he watched the car’s rear lights disappear into the distance.

After a while.

My damn charm.

Xu Bai thought to himself and shook his head. When the taillights had disappeared, he turned around and walked into the old factory area.

Block 2, eighth floor.

Xu Bai took two ice cubes from the freezer and threw them into a glass of water. Then, he walked out of the room with the glass. He stood by the guardrail in the corridor and looked down at the field.

The first thing he saw was…

Wang Qiang running around the field with his friends who liked to eavesdrop on others.

Xu Bai narrowed his eyes.

The next second.

After Xu Bai finished the ice water in his cup, he turned around and walked into the house.

“Come on.”

[Expand your skill Level to the maximum!]

The next second.

He could hear the incessant sounds of level up notifications and the golden light that kept flickering in front of his eyes.

A powerful and violent aura instantly burst out from Xu Bai’s body.

BANG!

A wave of air gushed out from Xu Bai’s body and swept in all directions.

Knock knock knock!

Wang Qiang and the others, who were running on the field, raised their heads and looked at the black shadow on the eighth floor. They were so shocked their mouths were wide open.
