Chapter 52: Ye Shangyu (2/2)
“I’m Miss Y.” Ye Shangyu’s expression turned serious, “You must have seen my post. What are your thoughts on it?”
Miss Y?
Hearing Ye Shangyu announce her real identity, Bai Yan’s face slightly changed. He quickly recalled the contents of that post and asked with slight doubt, “Were all of the things written inside real?”
“All of it was my personal experience.” Ye Shangyu pointed out, “The data inside that research institute was quite comprehensive. There were many records on how to deal with ghosts. So much so that it could even beat the knowledge shared by the players in the forum. The researchers inside were also experienced. If they were players, they would at least live through the harder levels. Only, unfortunately…”
Ye Shangyu wildly shook her head as if dismissing a thought and merely gazed at Bai Yan, waiting for his answer.
“A doomsday world, outside the research institute was full of ghosts…”
Bai Yan perceived what Ye Shangyu wanted to tell him something concerning the Supernatural Club’s map full of red marks, so he wildly guessed, “Could this world’s end become just like that?”
“Yeah.”
Ye Shangyu silently nodded her head, still quietly looking at him and not saying anything unnecessary.
“What else? What do you want to tell me?”
Seeing that Ye Shangyu made him take a gander multiple times, Bai Yan was somewhat fidgety. He disliked these kinds of guessing games.
Ye Shangyu called him to go outside to discuss something with him, but she only said half of it and refused to say anything more, just looking at him like a monkey and patiently waiting for him to connect the dots, making Bai Yan fairly disgruntled.
He wasn’t surprised when he found out that Ye Shangyu knew information about him in the real world.
Simply watching how Ye Shangyu easily invaded public security through her computer skills, using Wang Ze’s name to trail back to him wasn’t all that difficult.
Bai Yan tiredly kneaded his temples, closing his eyes and reflecting on the possible deeper meaning of Ye Shangyu’s words.
After a while, Bai Yan suddenly raised his head and stared at Ye Shangyu’s eyes, “You don’t want to tell me… or you can’t tell me?”
“We can’t say anything about the game in the real world, but I’m afraid that I’d be targeted by it if I say this in the game. I still can’t die right now.”
Bai Yan nodded in agreement, this ‘it’ she was referring to must have been the app.
In the real world, they couldn’t say anything about the game no matter what, he’s even tested it before. However, saying it inside the game would also make him a possible target, this was the first time he heard this.
Ye Shangyu still looked at him with expectation in her eyes, but the clues she gave were little to nothing, so he really couldn’t guess anymore.
Helplessness immediately flashed through Bai Yan’s eyes. He didn’t want to guess randomly anymore and sincerely admitted, “I can’t come up with anything else.”
“Okay.” Ye Shangyu exasperated, “If I may ask, what do you want to achieve in your wish?”
Bai Yan hesitated for a second but still said, “I want to resurrect a person.”
“Is it Wang Ze?” Ye Shangyu said indifferently, “Then, you don’t need to think this over. Whatever you have in mind, you’ll eventually regret it.”
“Is the wish a bluff? Could it be that the revived person isn’t the same?” Bai Yan’s expression drastically changed.
This time, Ye Shangyu didn’t keep her mouth shut. It seemed that matters concerning the wish could be discussed.
“That person would still be himself, but if he knew at what cost he was resurrected for, I suppose it would make him regret being alive…
Oh, that’s right. I forgot that you’re a basket case, maybe this would make you even more glad…”
Ye Shangyu said a lot of unclear ideas, but seeing that Bai Yan’s complexion grew darker with each passing second, she suddenly stopped spewing out confusing ideas, sincerely saying, “Considering that I’ve revealed a great deal to you, the day you understand what I’m talking about, will you promise me one thing?”
“I guarantee that this thing would suit you well, and you won’t feel that it’s unpleasant.” Her tone didn’t seem pressing, as if she was sure that Bai Yan would have agreed.
“No, why should I make a promise?” Bai Yan rebuffed. Ye Shangyu said plenty of things, and right now, his mind was extremely muddled.
The only matters he completely understood was that as expected, the app wasn’t kind and that there’s big trouble that came with the wish. According to Ye Shangyu’s leaked info, the wish could be done, but there must be a heavy price to be paid for the wish’s fulfillment.
At what cost would make a resurrected person wish that they’ve never lived?
Could it be that Wang Ze would know that he was revived for the sole reason for him being stabbed to death again?
Bai Yan wasn’t sure if Ye Shangyu also knew about this. He had never shared this with anybody before.
Thinking that Ye Shangyu had been trying to tell him something but didn’t dare say anything because of the app’s restrictions, Bai Yan felt that Ye Shangyu must have been giving him hints since before. However, he couldn’t think of what it was right now.
