reincarnation npc, but tomorrow's ark

Therefore, Bai Ye had some other guesses about Wei Yanwu's intentions in inviting him this time.

If it were just a private matter, it wouldn't require such a grand gesture. Therefore, it must be something more important, just something that's not convenient to discuss in the governor's office.

Which aspect could it be?

Bai Ye blinked.

Bai Xue led the way. When they got out of the car earlier, the two of them actually breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, which made Bai Xue a little embarrassed. She couldn't wait to take Bai Ye to Wei Yanwu's place as soon as possible, and then she would consider her mission accomplished.

Although Wei Yanwu and Wen Yue are one, Bai Xue is still loyal to Lady Wen Yue, not to Old Wei.

In other words, under certain circumstances, Bai Xue can choose to prioritize obeying Madam Wen Yue's instructions, rather than Old Wei's.

It seems like Lao Wei is being persecuted every day...

-------------------------------------

Bai Ye entered the mansion, where Wei Yanwu was drinking tea.

Since Chen Huijie took over the Guard Bureau, he can finally relax a little.

After all, as the director of the Security Bureau, Chen Huijie can share some other responsibilities, rather than being limited to the Major Crimes Unit itself.

Under the guise of mentoring the younger generation, Wei Yanwu delegated some tasks to Lao Chen.

Therefore, on Requiem Night, he could rest peacefully at the mansion instead of staying in the office as usual.

"Where is Lady Wenyue?"

Bai Ye was a little curious; how come this guy in front of him had turned into the lonely Old Wei again?

Apart from Bai Xue, who was hiding, there was no one else in the house.

“Actually, you can also call Wen Yue Auntie…no need to be so polite,” Old Wei complained about Bai Ye’s way of addressing her.

They almost became family, but every time this guy came over, he still called her Madam Wenyue and Commander Wei, always maintaining a great distance.

"Then you've taken advantage of me for nothing, haven't you?" Bai Ye rolled her eyes, showing disdain for Lao Wei's argument.

Wei Yanwu shook his head.

Everyone else was desperate to get involved with him, but this guy just didn't care at all.

……

However, when Wen Yue was mentioned, Lao Wei's expression became somewhat strange:

"Wen Yue should be outside right now?"

"Today is Carnival, and she's always been very interested in these kinds of things."

"Oh, no wonder. I saw your motorcycle was taken from the garage," Bai Ye said, suddenly realizing.

“Motorcycle? No, no, that’s not mine, that’s Wen Yue’s,” Wei Yanwu corrected.

Chapter 100 He still wants to thank us!

Bai Ye was startled by Wei Yanwu's words.

What do you mean by "the motorcycle belongs to Wenyue"?

Then, Bai Ye laughed again. Old Wei's explanation sounded familiar, just like a member of a certain tabletop role-playing game group next door who bought a Switch but insisted on making up an excuse that his sister wanted to play it.

If you want to play, just say so. Why keep being so stubborn?

Although Bai Ye could tell that Madam Wen Yue was indeed extraordinary and probably a master, he still couldn't connect this virtuous wife of Old Wei with something like a motorcycle.

"Sigh..." Seeing Bai Ye's expression, Lao Wei knew exactly what Bai Ye was thinking.

He sighed helplessly, then looked at Bai Ye and slowly said:

"It is indeed Wen Yue's."

"She loves playing with this stuff, and sometimes she'll even go out and race cars in the streets at night. It's become an urban legend."

It was precisely because Bai Ye had an extraordinary relationship with Chen Huijie and Talulah, and because Bai Ye had been helping Talulah in the core city all this time, that Wei Yanwu was so kind as to tell Bai Ye such gossip and secrets.

……

"Clam?"

Bai Ye was truly shocked this time.

You're telling me that the elegant and gentle Lady Fumizuki actually races cars? Only Hoshiguma would believe that…

However, Bai Ye could tell from Wei Yanwu's expression that he was not lying. Besides, someone like him would not stoop to lying any longer.

It seems to be true.

Goodness, it's the same example of the group member who bought the Switch and his sister. But this time, it's the other way around. Even though it was the sister who wanted to play, everyone will think that the brother bought it because he wanted to play it himself.

"..."

Bai Ye finally realized what was happening:

"So, during this Requiem Night carnival, Lady Wenyue will be dressed in outlandish costumes and racing cars through the streets of Lungmen?"

"Hmm." Wei Yanwu nodded, his expression somewhat stiff.

"Well, it's not so bad." Bai Ye laughed. "Madam Wen Yue probably suppresses her true nature most of the time. Releasing it occasionally will make her feel much better."

"So, was she the kind of gangster princess who used to carry a watermelon knife and lead a group of thugs to kill people?"

Wei Yanwu's face darkened upon hearing this:

"She did indeed kill people before; you can ask Bai Xue if you don't believe me. But overall, she is still a proper princess."

Let's leave the past behind.

After checking the time, Wei Yanwu stopped chatting with Bai Ye about those trivial matters.

Bai Ye nodded and adjusted his posture.

He then opened the soundproof barrier, and as invisible atmospheric ripples spread throughout the room, the soundproof vacuum layer enveloped the area where the two were sitting. At the same time, Bai Ye changed the light refractive index on the outside of the barrier, making it one-way transparent.

What used to be a very delicate operation for him is now a very simple basic operation for him.

It's as simple as breathing.

It is not an Originium Arts technique, nor does it require arranging the Originium energy within the casting unit. It can be done simply by thinking about it.

However, whether intentionally or unintentionally, Bai Ye's soundproof barrier did not cover the ninja girl Bai Xue who was standing in the shadows outside the reception room.

In other words, no matter what the two were discussing inside the barrier, Bai Xue could neither hear nor see it, nor could she discern it through lip reading.

The ninja girl stomped her foot outside, but Wei Yanwu was completely unaware of this; he simply nodded in satisfaction.

That's a really convenient ability.

"Alright, you can talk now."

White Night created an environment where private conversations could take place.

"Hmm... I originally wanted to tell you this when we met in the core city of Chernobog last time... but everyone was thinking about the Adventurers' Guild at the time, so I didn't have a chance."

Wei Yanwu then looked at Bai Ye and said:

“You caused quite a stir in the core city before. Speaker Witt even wrote to me to complain about it.”

Clearly, Wei Yanwu was referring to the purge that Bai Ye carried out in the core city of Chernobog.

That was a thorough extermination operation for the entire Chernobog core city, which has since been known as the "graveyard of spies."

Some believe Talulah was responsible, or that she directly instructed her subordinates to do so, since they argue that only Talulah possessed the authority to issue such horrific orders within the Marquisate. Thus, the young woman earned the nickname "Bloody Marquis." Of course, many others disagree.

They believed that someone like Talulah was absolutely incapable of doing such a thing, and that there must be someone else behind her.

The most likely candidate is, of course, the eldest father.

This pure-blooded Wendigo once led the Ursus guerrillas to hunt down and wipe out the Empire's infected picket squads on the frozen plains (Big Daddy says he was just hiding). The legend of the terrifying cannibals has long been part of the mysterious frozen plains legends.

So, Daddy inexplicably became a Peking University student again, and this explanation was quickly accepted by the first group of people.

In short, everyone has now reached a consensus.

The Wendigos were the masterminds behind this purge.

Even Bai Ye, the real mastermind, was somewhat convinced after hearing this rumor.

What these people are saying makes a really damn good point.

He almost believed it.

……

Of course, Wei Yanwu clearly knew that this was something that the handsome young man in front of him had done himself.

He wasn't even the one who gave the order, nor was he the mastermind; rather, he was the only one who planned and executed the entire operation.

Don't judge a book by its cover.

"I just dealt with a few nobles who reached out their dirty hands... Later, Ghost brought these esteemed adults to justice as well. However, these guys are all conservatives, insects that hinder Emperor Ursus. I eliminated these insects for the Empire, and Speaker Witt should thank me."

Since White Night and Talulah occupied the core city of Chernobog and turned the land and surrounding territories into the fiefdom of Marquis Talulah, the royalist reformists led by Speaker Witt have gradually gained the upper hand in the Imperial Diet, and the Emperor's power has been gradually taken back.

They really should thank Bai Ye.

Wei Yanwu nodded:

"Logically speaking, I should indeed give you a lecture, since your approach is a bit too extreme."

However, as Wei Yanwu was speaking, he suddenly changed the subject:

"But from a personal perspective, although it may sound selfish, I really want to thank you."

Chapter 101 I Need More Money

Bai Ye was not surprised at all by Lao Wei's gratitude.

Because this is something that should be taken for granted.

After all, he was essentially working for Talulah. Talulah was too young, or rather, lacked a certain level of sensitivity; she was practically letting her family business be infiltrated and riddled with holes without even realizing it.

If Bai Ye hadn't intervened and detonated the bomb prematurely, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Wei Yanwu had no intention of repeating the mistakes of Longmen back then.

……

Bai Ye smiled:

"If it was just to thank me, why bother calling me over in all this trouble?"

Anyway, I've already received the thank-you gift.

As Bai Ye spoke, he waved his finger in mid-air.

Wei Yanwu stared blankly at the trajectory of Bai Ye's finger.

"You haven't known the Crimson Sky Sword Technique for very long, have you? And now you've already grasped its essence?"

It's no wonder Wei Yanwu was so surprised. After all, a young man like Chen Huijie is already considered a martial arts genius. Yet Bai Ye could learn the Crimson Sky Secret Technique with just one glance and mastered its essence in such a short time.

If other martial arts masters of the Great Yan Dynasty found out, they probably wouldn't sit still either.

What a monster.

Bai Ye shook his head, seemingly still somewhat dissatisfied:

"A single sword technique is indeed not enough to push my swordsmanship to a higher level."

Bai Ye wanted to break through the bottleneck and obstacles he encountered as a player before his transmigration. He had once glimpsed a corner of the ultimate martial arts, but as a player, he was unable to step into that realm.

The old game system limited the skill level cap, but now he is no longer limited and should climb to higher levels.

"So you're a martial arts fanatic too..." Wei Yanwu chuckled.

Bai Ye shook his head:

"I'm not some kind of martial arts fanatic... Never mind, if you think so, then so be it."

Sigh, I'd better not argue. After all, you can't make someone who doesn't play games much understand what it means to pursue a higher level. And even for gamers, it's difficult to connect reality with the game in their understanding.

Only a player like Bai Ye, who has played a fully immersive game and then traveled into the "game," would have this way of thinking.
