Ke Ming was stopped in the corridor.
He found that the outside was full of people. Those flashing figures were not illusions. The corridor outside the door was not empty and quiet at all. Well-trained Alliance soldiers and workers had surrounded the entire wedding venue tightly.
Someone twisted his arm and pushed Ke Ming to the ground as he sounded the alarm of an intruder.
"I'm not... you got the wrong person!"
Ke Ming put half of his face against the depressed man. The force he applied was unreserved. The tearing pain exploded from his shoulders, making him dizzy. "I'm looking for someone! I'm not an intruder..."
The force holding him down relaxed slightly: "Are you looking for Mr. Yu too?"
Ke Ming was in so much pain that he was exhausted. He lost the energy to think and did not dare to ask about the subtle differences in the pronunciation of the surname. He could only nod randomly.
The soldiers who restrained him talked in low voices for a few words, confirmed his identity, released their hands and stepped back.
Ke Ming used his hands and feet to get up in a panic: "What do you do? Why are you looking for... looking for Mr. Yu?"
"We are affiliated with the military and we are here to look for someone."
The leading soldier said, "General Shi told us to find Mr. Yu at all costs."
They had searched the entire hotel all night and had not seen anyone yet.
Until now, the Alliance soldiers scattered in every corner were still conducting a carpet search, and the sound of conversations continued to be heard on the walkie-talkie.
The more Ke Ming listened, the more confused he became, and his head hurt so much it almost exploded.
He didn't know the general with the surname Shi, and he couldn't understand how Yu Tang, an orphan who was ignored and wanted by everyone and had struggled to survive, could have any connection with a big shot in the military.
…
But who would have thought that Yu Tang, a small assistant who could only make a living in the studio, would be associated with a behemoth like the W&P Group
Ke Ming didn't dare to ask more questions, and glanced at him cautiously: "Hey, Mr. Worker... Are you still looking for the security department? Is he—"
…Did Yu Tang commit any crime or offend any important person
Did something happen in the W&P Group that would make these people rush to search everywhere to catch him
As soon as Ke Ming had this thought, he saw the person in charge of the construction work walking quickly over, whispering a few words to the military commander, frowning and shaking his head.
The military commander raised his hand to stop him from talking, exchanged some information with the other party, and then turned around and asked: "What did you say?"
He didn't have much patience to listen to Ke Ming's long-winded chatter. After asking a few questions, he turned around to listen to the latest report from his department.
However, the construction manager was about to leave when his eyes suddenly fell on Ke Ming, scanning him from head to toe.
Ke Ming felt particularly uncomfortable with his gaze. He forgot what he was going to ask and could not help but stand up straight: "... Do we know each other?"
"My name is Dai Lei. You don't know me, but I know you."
The person in charge of the production looked at him and said, "You are the little star that Sui Si raised, right?"
Ke Ming's face flushed instantly. When he was a top star, he was used to being praised by others. Everyone was polite and respectful to him. When had he ever been offended like this? "You—"
Before he finished his scolding, he heard Dai Lei continue: "I heard that Sui Si bought you a starry destiny."
Ke Ming's voice stopped suddenly.
He couldn't move at all, his eyes widened, and a bone-chilling chill instantly ran down his back.
The shrill alarm sounded in his mind, and the warnings of punishment came one after another. Ke Ming knew that he should cover up this matter, he had to cover up this matter, but his throat seemed to be out of his control.
"I heard people say that you put a price tag on our identities and fates and sold them as commodities," Dai Lei's voice continued to echo. "I thought it was ridiculous at the time."
Dai Lei: "Who would like to live as someone else?"
Ke Ming opened his mouth with difficulty, but he could not utter a word, his consciousness having been completely swallowed up by fear.
… they like it.
Because they are data that can only hide in the database of Chuanshuju. They can never see the light of day and can only live in stories.
But the story still didn't feel true, and they were never satisfied—and then they finally found a solution.
Make this world into a story, close the original database, completely immerse yourself in the stolen identity, treat yourself as this person, and then choose the future and destiny you like.
If the plot had not been seriously deviated this time and the anti-addiction system had not forcibly awakened him, he would still have believed that he was Ke Ming, that he was destined to debut and become famous, that he would have a smooth and bright future...
… In this low-dimensional world, how could anyone know such a secret that only players and terminals know
What on earth happened to Chuanshuju when they didn't know?!
"I don't know you. The person whose fate you stole was the buddy who escaped with me."
Dai Lei raised his hand and tapped Ke Ming's chest: "When this is over, I have to help him get back the stolen things."
Ke Ming seemed to have his breathing blocked by the blow he struck him.
Dai Lei didn't waste any more time with him. He turned on his headset and listened to the report from the other side: "I'm here, and there's nothing here either."
"Pu Ke said that we must find him and not let Mr. Yu suffer any harm from him."
Dai Lei said, "Their situation is different from ours. They may have ways to block our detection... No matter what method is used, Mr. Yu must be protected."
"I can only try my best to find it - yes, the most likely place is still that rooftop..."
Dai Lei paused.
The engineering and military action teams seemed to have received an order at the same time. They put on their headsets at the same time, listened seriously for a moment, and hurried to the stairs.
Ke Ming looked at the backs of these people leaving. He could no longer stand and sat on the ground in despair.
Rooftop.
Sui Si rushed up panting and stumbling.
He saw military personnel and workers who appeared inexplicably in the hotel. The strange thing was that these people clearly saw him, but he didn't know what orders they received, and no one came up to stop him or question him.
Sui Si almost bumped into a figure. He didn't have time to stand still and hurriedly grabbed the other person's arm: "Yu Tang, don't—"
He saw the face of the person coming and his hoarse voice got stuck in his throat.
…not Yu Tang.
Standing in front of him was a young man with a cold brow, wearing a security uniform. A red birthmark showed through the collar of his shirt, and even the wrinkles were sharp and indifferent.
The other person's eyes fell on him, his pupils were dark and clear, as if revealing a cold aura that could tear his skin and bones apart.
Behind the person who came, there was a young man sitting on the rooftop railing with conspicuous and flamboyant short red hair.
He was wearing the combat uniform of the Alliance Fleet and was nonchalantly bandaging his bleeding arm with one hand. The nameplate on his chest read "Luo Ran".
Hearing the embarrassed sound made by Sui Si, Luo Ran looked up while biting the bandage that was wrapping his wound, and glanced over with the same cold expression.
"I asked them to let you up."
The person who stopped him said, "My name is Pu Ying, and I'm a section chief in the Special Investigation Division of the Security Department."
"I'm here to pick up Mr. Yu."
Pu Ying said: "He worked here before, and his name should be 'Yu Tang'."
Sui Si looked up in surprise.
…
He couldn't imagine how Yu Tang would be related to the Security Department. After a long pause, he finally spoke with difficulty: "Why are you looking for... looking for Yu Tang?"
Sui Si swallowed hard, he couldn't protect himself, there wasn't much he could do for Yu Tang, he could only try his best to think: "Has anything happened to Yu Tang? I can help him - he is still a member of the Sui family, I can contact the Sui family for him..."
"He is our most important friend. He saved us."
Pu Ying interrupted him and said, "There's no need to go through the Sui family. If you know where he is, we can pick him up right now."
Sui Si's eyes widened and he opened his mouth weakly: "...What?"
Sui Si almost suspected that there was something wrong with his ears and he misheard what the other party said: "Who can he save? Are you real or fake? Where did you come from-"
His words were interrupted by the work ID card displayed in front of him.
The Sui family is a military and political family. Even the most incompetent sons cannot fail to distinguish these things.
Sui Si looked at the gold-plated work permit of the Security Department, raised his head blankly, and his shoulders slumped down.
"There's no need to explain further to you."
Pu Ying put away his work ID: "We are just here to pick up Mr. Yu."
They just came out of an interstellar battle.
Luo Ran is fighting everywhere, but he is best at moving freely in harsh environments, and he knows how to enter an electronic storm better than any human.
For him, driving a mecha in an electronic storm is not much more difficult than riding a motorcycle in a catastrophic thunderstorm.
After leading the alliance fleet into the eye of the storm, Luo Ran has remained in the fleet as a special instructor.
In the fierce battle with the Zerg, Luo Ran changed three mechas and rescued more than a dozen teams in the cosmic storm set off by the Zerg. He didn't care about treating his injuries, and left the cosmic battlefield that had just subsided. Together with Pu Ying, he went through the "door" opened in the game world and rushed back to the hotel.
Pu Ying waited for Sui Si for a few seconds, disappointment showing in her cold black pupils.
… Sui Si is their last clue.
The data of this beta test player is the only one that has slipped through the net, and is also the key to the final plot.
If Yu Tang needed to deal with something, he would definitely come to this person - but both Sui Si and Ke Ming seemed to be unaware of the whereabouts of Mr. Yu and Mr. Zhan.
Pu Ying no longer wasted time on Sui Si. He instructed his men to take Sui Si away. He met the gaze of Shi Ji who had hurried over and shook his head.
Shi Ji arrived earlier than them. The military turned the hotel upside down but could not find any trace of Yu Tang.
"Dai Lei's speculation makes sense. Mr. Yu and Mr. Zhan may be able to block our detection."
Pu Ying whispered, "We won't be able to find it if we look like this."
Shi Ji came over silently, his shoulders and back were tense, his eyes became darker because of these words.
He glanced at Sui Si and said, "Is this the man who took over Mr. Zhan's identity and deceived Mr. Yu?"
Pu Ying nodded.
Shi Ji's attitude and tone were very gentle, but Sui Si inexplicably felt a strong sense of coldness when he looked at him.
This time, Shi Ji didn't need to introduce himself, he could recognize the dazzling star on Shi Ji's military uniform.
Sui Si had seen many elites of the Sui family, but he had never seen such a young general. He couldn't imagine how Yu Tang could have any relationship with these people, nor did he understand what he meant by status: "You - what on earth are you going to do?"
"Let me see Yu Tang." Sui Si said hoarsely, "I know I was wrong, and I want to go find him now."
He listened to the recording and learned that Yu Tang was also from Ke Ming's orphanage. He finally understood the shameful past that happened in the orphanage.
Now he could see clearly what kind of person Ke Ming was.
"You have to let me see him. I'm afraid he'll commit suicide."
Sui Si shook off the person who was pulling him, his throat almost smoking with anxiety: "I'm not kidding, he won't survive without me-"
His voice was barely paused by the sudden warning sound in his mind.
Sui Si had never heard of such a strange warning sound, but for some reason he felt it was familiar.
He stopped talking and stood there in a daze, facing the strange gazes from all directions, his heart beating faster and faster.
…
The overwhelming fear came over him again.
"He hasn't woken up yet?" Shi Ji asked Pu Ying.
Pu Ying shook his head. Just as he was about to speak, his eyes suddenly fixed on the enclosed platform higher up on the rooftop.
Shi Ji's reaction was just as quick as his, not slower. The moment he noticed the figure, he had already swiftly jumped up, and using the force of holding onto the railing, he climbed up nimbly and reached out to pull it.
He was only a second late.
Just before the young Alliance commander rushed to the ignored platform at the fastest speed and wanted to capture the figure, the phantom light of the electronic storm had already embraced Yu Tang.
In this timeline, Yu Tang’s life was replaced by Naitang.
The most obedient, the most sensible, the most helpful, saving enough money bit by bit, happily waiting to have a little home of his own, but his fate was directly painted by a piece of contract.
…
"This is a particle that has completely separated from me. It has its own life."
Before rushing back to the hotel, Pu Ying received the only voice message. Yu Tang's voice was mixed with the sound of electricity and was a little unclear: "I have added all the business talent cards to him. He will do a good job in the work of the W&P consortium."
"Thank you for helping me take care of him."
Yu Tang's voice played to the end: "Zhan Xue and I will go and push this world out."
Pu Ying held the phone tightly.
He met Luo Ran's gaze, nodded, and jumped onto the Dolphin which was floating in place on its own.
Shi Ji jumped down from the high platform and landed steadily in the cabin of the wingman. He put on goggles and closed the protective cover: "Follow me."
The Dolphin flashed a small red light.
In the uncorrected timeline, a dead Yu Tang was already sleeping in the electronic storm.
Now, Yu Tang, who has fallen into the electronic storm, will cause the timeline to distort. This distortion will cause serious shocks to the world. This is the only chance to blow up the pit in the timeline.
It is possible to liberate this world that has been turned into a story in a book.
…
The space began to vibrate invisibly, and the moonlight suddenly became thick, cutting out the shadow of the entire world.
In their dreams, people hear the sound of turbulent flow in the river of time, which is extremely subtle and distant, yet seems extremely grand and magnificent.
The morning star hangs in the sky, the night fog is flowing, and the world is still sleeping unconsciously.
The silver-gray streamlined mecha reflected the starry sky and, under the guidance of the wingman, cut through the dark night like a sharp blade unsheathed, sweeping into the sea of light that was about to disappear.
