Qin Feichang received a call from Meishan while he was working. Meishan, who had not been in touch for a long time, burst into tears on the phone. Qin Feichang listened to her crying for at least three minutes before she began to sob and express her fear.
"I've played that game, Rose Manor, so, is the plot of that game true? Our ancestors once went to Kirishima... those people, so Egbert wants to curse us." Meishan said while crying, "If that's true, he will definitely not let us go, what should we do?"
After a moment's silence, Qin recalled that last night, Egbert hugged her waist, kissed her ear, and indeed said in her ear, "I will not let you go."
However, not letting it go seems to be different from what Meishan meant.
She pushed up her glasses and said, "I'll have time later. Come over to my office and we can talk."
She really didn't expect that after such a long time, when Egbert didn't bother her, Meishan could still be so scared. She also underestimated the shadow that Egbert left on them.
Mei Shan came very quickly. When she sat down, she seemed to be having some secret love affair. She was afraid of being discovered and looked around anxiously.
Qin Feichang saw what she was worried about at a glance, "Egbert is not here."
But she didn't know whether he would suddenly appear.
Mei Shan was not clear about this, but she relaxed a lot after hearing this. She grabbed her bag and told him everything that had happened recently.
"... I was originally planning to find a reliable wizard with Leon to deal with Egbert, but I don't have any way to find a powerful wizard. As for Leon, he failed before and there has been no news for a long time. I saw that game again and was too scared, so I couldn't help but come to you... What should I do, Roland?!"
Pushing a cup of hot tea over, Qin Feichang said, "Meishan, just live your life like you did before. There's no need to be so desperate."
Mei Shan, who was talking incessantly, was stunned. "Loran, do you mean that Egbert won't do anything to us anymore?" She asked hopefully.
Qin Feichang: "Don't provoke him again, and nothing will happen."
Mei Shan: "But our ancestors killed him and took away his treasures. He will take revenge and kill us!"
Qin was very helpless. It was useless to dwell on the past grudges and hatreds. The biggest difference between her and others was that she was always thinking about how to deal with the things in front of her and how to appease Egbert. The most important thing was not the past, but the present.
She had successfully attracted Egbert's attention to herself, and as long as the others did not take the initiative to stand up, Egbert would probably not bother to deal with them. After all, this was a new world for him, and there were many more people and things more interesting than them.
She saw the situation clearly with Kirishima and her group, changed her attitude decisively, and chose the approach that was most beneficial to herself, but it was obvious that the others had not yet seen it clearly.
Mei Shan was still looking at her eagerly, wanting to get a reassuring answer from her.
Qin Feichang took a sip of water and said calmly, "Human life is very short, and Egbert has existed for a long time. You and I, and the rest of us, can only live for a few decades at most. These decades are our lifetime, but they may not be a big deal to Egbert. Do you understand?"
It's like a person who can live for a hundred years compared to a cicada that can only live for one summer, or like a cicada that can live for one summer compared to a mayfly that can only live for one day.
"From the beginning to the end, in Egbert's eyes, we are a piece of fun. When he is bored, he can play with us in the palm of his hand. Similarly, when he is not bored, he can let us go lightly." Qin Feichang said here and put down the cup in his hand. "Now, he has let you go lightly."
Mei Shan was stunned for a moment when she heard her cold voice, and murmured, "Really..."
Qin Feichang: "Maybe one day, he will continue this curse on a whim, but in my opinion, the possibility is very small. The most likely possibility is that after we die, he will extract our descendants to play a special 'game', but by then it will have nothing to do with us."
Mei Shan shuddered, "Then, is there really no way to completely solve this problem?"
Qin Feichang: "My advice is to live well and don't provoke him."
Meishan was in mixed emotions, she didn't know whether she should feel relaxed or depressed. Egbert's existence was like a sword of Damocles hanging over their heads, and she didn't know when it would fall.
When she was feeling extremely depressed, Qin Feichang opened the bag she brought and pulled out a few contracts. His tone was just as calm as before, "The company is profitable, and your previous investment has paid off. Next, I plan to start another company. I wonder if you are still interested in continuing to invest."
Mei Shan: “???”
Qin Feichang: "You also have a large product channel. We may need to cooperate in the future..."
Meishan was extremely confused. Weren't they just talking about Egbert? Why did they suddenly start talking about work
So Qin Feichang's visit was not to chat, she was really here to discuss work. Although Meishan was not very capable, she had a good character, and her family's company also met her next cooperation requirements, so it would be best if she could establish this relationship.
Finally, Meishan went back confusedly with her contract and plan, and promised to help persuade her father to cooperate.
Qin Feichang sent Meishan away and sat alone on a chair drinking water. When he looked up again, Egbert was sitting opposite him.
He propped his chin up and played with the white porcelain cup, smiling and saying, "I don't really like what you said to me just now."
"You're wrong." He placed his fingers on the back of Qin Feichang's hand, "Do you know where you're wrong?"
Of course she knew. Qin Feichang remained calm, "You will let them go, but you won't let me go."
Egbert: “Hahahaha~”
He laughed loudly, looking very happy, and grabbed Qin Feichang's hand, but there was no smile in his eyes. Qin Feichang understood very well that he was dissatisfied with what she had just said.
"Those stupid guys might get rid of me if they die, but you can't. Even if you die, as long as I want, you will still become a ghost and stay by my side. Do you understand? If you provoke me, there will be no good end."
Qin was not frightened by the change of face of this little lunatic. She answered him calmly: "I have a check-up every month and I am in good health. If there is no accident, I should be able to live to 80 years old as a human being. My habit is to make a plan every ten years. Now I haven't planned for my death. When the plan comes, I will think about what happens after death."
It's a statement that fits her style very well.
Egbert laughed in anger, "Well, you really are!"
The little princess got angry and turned away. Qin Feichang looked at the empty seat, picked up the water and took another sip, with a smile in his eyes.
It's not like he's the only one who takes pleasure in making her angry.
Egbert was unhappy and wanted to find someone to vent his anger on, so he suddenly remembered Leon who had caused him trouble some time ago and the three wizard mediums who had been destroyed by him before they could stir up any trouble.
Soon, those gamers who dreamed after playing Rose Manor found that there were three more wizards and mediums in their extremely realistic dreams. These three new "NPCs" would appear on their escape road when they were chased by ghosts, and serve as their partners to endure all kinds of dangers together.
Those game players found it new and interesting, after all, they only had an occasional nightmare after playing the game. But for the three wizard mediums who were forced to enter their dreams, the situation was very bad.
They have to frequently experience the "holographic nightmare game" with different people and hone their skills in dealing with ghosts and monsters in the game. They soon become like internet-addicted teenagers who stay up all night playing games, with big dark circles and bags under their eyes, and yawning all day long.
As for Leon, his reinforcements were unable to take care of themselves, and he could only be manipulated by Egbert. The company given to him by his father was almost bankrupt.
He suffers from ringtone phobia. Every time he hears the phone ringing, his scalp goes numb, but he dares not not answer it.
The devil's voice came from the other end of the phone again and again: "I, Egbert, want to send money."
Leon really regretted it.
Before he was killed, Qin saved him in time and took Egbert back from Leon's house.
Before she went to pick someone up, she took the contract from Leon's father and smiled with satisfaction.
The work went smoothly, but angry Egbert was not so easy to appease.
Qin Feichang watched the beautiful boy get into his car and instantly turned into a skeleton. He immediately realized that he was still angry.
She immediately canceled the candlelight dinner schedule she had just prepared, because she was afraid that she would scare people if she went to the restaurant with a skeleton, and she also didn't want to be in the news because of her special hobby.
She returned home carrying a skeleton. The skeleton didn't say a word to her, pushed the car down the stairs, and walked upstairs openly.
The landlady heard the noise and came out to greet them. Egbert had no intention of avoiding him. Although he was just a skeleton, Qin was very sure that he looked like he was enjoying a good show. This guy was just looking for trouble on purpose.
Seeing that the landlady was about to turn around and see Egbert's skeleton, Qin Feichang strode forward, supported the old lady, and forced her to sit down on the sofa in the living room.
Landlady: “?”
Qin asked very seriously: "Are you okay? I saw you swaying a little just now and seemed to be about to faint. Is it hypoglycemia?"
She spoke so sincerely and seriously that the landlady began to doubt herself, "Ah? Just now? I didn't seem to feel unwell?"
After dealing with the old lady, Qin Feichang saw Egbert's skeleton leaning against the stairs and trembling.
A man and a skeleton walked in one after the other, and the skeleton locked himself in the bathroom.
A layer of foam in the bathtub covered the water surface. A skeleton was placed on a children's swimming ring, with only the head sticking out of the water and both hands resting on the edge of the bathtub.
As soon as Qin Feichang opened the bathroom door, he could smell the rich rose fragrance inside - which came from bath products such as shower gel and bath balls.
I don't know what's wrong with this prince. He has to put so many fancy things in a bath, such as this bath ball that continuously releases rainbow bubbles in the water.
Qin, who came in wrapped in a bath towel, hesitated suspiciously, not knowing whether to put himself in the rainbow bathtub.
Finally, she squeezed in without changing her expression. She pushed the skeleton in the bathtub to the other side with her foot and occupied one side herself.
"What?" Egbert Skeleton put his arms around his chest in the bathtub. He knew very well that this cunning fox must be here to apologize.
As a result, he heard Qin Feichang say: "You are very troublesome and have delayed a lot of my work."
... What? Egbert found that he had heard correctly. Bones scraped against the bathtub, making a sharp crunching sound.
Qin Feichang ignored the brutal threat and continued, "I have never spent so much time and thought on anyone. You are the first and biggest trouble in my life."
The sound of bones scraping against the bathtub suddenly stopped.
Although this was not a nice thing to say, Egbert was strangely pleased.
Qin Feichang finally said: "In my future life, there will never be another person who can make me waste so much time and energy."
This was probably the most straightforward confession she could have said.
The skeleton was silent for a moment, then transformed into a beautiful boy in the bathtub. He flicked the foam on his hand onto her head angrily, "Sly woman!"
