Chapter 271: Erasure

~8 min read 1,506 words

Qiao Suisui followed Ye Xi's instructions and took out the Recorder, and sure enough, she discovered that the button she mentioned was depressed, and a very concealed indicator light next to it was blinking incessantly.

She told Ye Xi about this situation.

【It's over it's over it's over it's over it's over it's over it's over it's over it's over it's over it's over it's over】

Ye Xi's messages kept popping up one after another—

【This is the Signal Key】

【It can connect her situation to the Headquarters with one click】

【You said she mentioned the Live Broadcast at the time? That bitch is just using this method to set you up】

【If the matter of the Live Broadcast is true, and you know about it, the Headquarters will definitely erase you】

【Moreover, for a confidential matter like the Live Broadcast, if the level of secrecy is as high as she said, then the company must have set up Sensitive Words. Any content that speaks the Sensitive Words will be intelligently isolated and reported the next second, so regardless of whether she has evidence of your Recall, she must erase you and your world】

After reading Ye Xi's words, Qiao Suisui did not panic; instead, she became completely calm.

Because if she had kept not knowing what the Supervisor had done with the Recorder, she would have been anxious instead; conversely, now that she knew she had already sent a signal to the Headquarters, she could deduce that the company's next move must be to erase her world, force her to log out, and perhaps even find her in the Modern World, because once the matter of the Live Broadcast was exposed, it would be equivalent to touching their cake.

She thought quietly for more than ten minutes, and Ye Xi's messages kept popping up.

【Are you okay?】

【Don't panic yet, let me think of a way】

【Ahhhhh what should we do】

Qiao Suisui calmly sent a message to Ye Xi.

【I am logging out now, let's meet directly at the airport and go to the INF Company】

Ye Xi: 【??????】

Ye Xi: 【Huh?】

Ye Xi: 【Now?】

Ye Xi: 【1, I'm buying the tickets】

Qiao Suisui ended the conversation.

Where there is danger, there is opportunity; rather than sitting and waiting for death, it is better to take the initiative.

She did not know how much chance of winning she had, but it was clear that staying in the Game World would only mean being at the mercy of others, waiting to be erased. Because they were ultimately the Creators of this world, and if she wanted to change things, she had to become the Creator.

Qiao Suisui raised her eyes, determination flashing within them.

At the same time, in the Modern World.

The thin mist gradually dissipated, revealing those modern high-rise buildings.

This was the heart of global technology, and on the wide roads, autonomous vehicles shuttled back and forth.

The office building complex shimmered with a metallic luster, and the glass curtain walls that towered into the clouds shone brightly under the sunlight.

Each building was uniquely designed and full of a sense of technology, like fortresses of the future.

Inside the buildings, the open office spaces were full of a modern feel, and the walls were covered with huge LCD screens, updating the dynamics of the global market and the latest technological information in real-time.

Young people in suits and leather shoes came and went, holding coffee, their steps hurried.

INF Company Building.

Inside the conference room, a photo of a young girl appeared on the electronic screen, with her various data and performance in the game next to it.

A middle-aged man was making a report in an orderly manner, "We have retrieved the various parameters and plot progress of Player 002, and there is a very important discovery: she is currently the only player who can make the character Anubis's life progress extend infinitely."

"This means she has already passed the First Stage Plot and entered the Second Stage Plot."

Another man wearing a plaid shirt and glasses stood up and said: "I disagree. The difficulty of this plot is already very high. One player passing it does not mean that most people can pass it. If it is set too difficult here, it will make players give up, directly affecting the game experience."

The legal counsel tapped the table with a pen and prompted expressionlessly: "I think everyone present has ignored the most important premise. Shouldn't the core of our meeting be to discuss how to avoid the risk of players knowing about the right to know regarding the Live Broadcast?" The people who had just been discussing intensely all quieted down and turned their gazes in unison toward the man sitting at the very center of the long conference table.

"President Han, what do you think?"

Han Chen tossed the baseball in his hand and caught it, repeating this five or six times, but no one in the conference room dared to urge him.

After a long while, he said: "Erase it."

As soon as the words fell, the man in the plaid shirt stood up excitedly and said: "President Han, this is the only player who has cleared the Second Stage Plot so far. Her Game World is very referential!"

Another man said: "Considering it from the company's perspective, I think there are some risks. After all, Player 002 is currently the most popular player in the Live Broadcast plan. If her Live Broadcast is suddenly gone, the promotional effect might be greatly discounted. Moreover, we incubated her for three months, and we haven't been able to have a second player who can achieve the same popularity as her."

Han Chen smiled indifferently and asked: "Do you know how INF was established?"

Several people looked at each other, and one said: "I heard that President Han accidentally discovered a very capable game designer—Ye, and then grew it from a startup company of a few people to the company being listed on the New York Stock Exchange today."

"Is Ye still here?"

The few people stopped talking.

Han Chen continued: "Ye is gone, but I and INF are still here. What does that mean? This company doesn't stop turning just because of one person. Understand? It's just a player. If you can't incubate a better player, find me a few big internet celebrities to do the testing. At that time, it will still be able to be promoted. Will the company fail just because she is gone?"

Everyone was silent and no longer argued.

Han Chen threw the baseball in his hand casually, pushed open the door of the conference room and walked out, instructing the Medium: "Player 002's world, initiate erasure."

The Medium employee repeated without any emotional fluctuation: "Received. Player 002's world, Erasure Program started. Erasure will be completed in 48 hours."

Game World.

Qiao Suisui and the others returned to the Huangting.

Inside the Dian, the atmosphere was stiff for a moment.

". That's about it, so I must go back now."

She explained all her thoughts, but after waiting for a while, the men did not speak.

After a long while, Laiboli asked the first question: "If this world is erased, what will happen?"

"You and everything in this world will disappear, as if you had never appeared. And I will not be able to return to the world. Everything I have experienced here will become a story without a trace."

The Dian fell into silence again.

Qiao Suisui also felt a heaviness in her heart, but she could not show it, because now only she could save this situation.

"Do you trust me?"

Everyone heard this and looked at her.

Anubis said in a deep voice without the slightest hesitation, "I trust you."

Luka smiled gently and patted her head, "I have always trusted you."

Ka'er smoothed out his tightly furrowed brow and revealed an unrestrained smile, "Does that even need to be said? I'll be waiting for you to come back."

Laiboli and Zongfang, however, said nothing.

Qiao Suisui looked at them and said, "When I returned to the past time and time again to be with you all, I kept thinking about one question: does doing this count as forcing things? Should I have just accepted the predetermined ending and muddled along like that? But later, when I truly succeeded, I felt fortunate that the me from back then didn't give up."

"Therefore, the me of today will not give up either; I will use all my strength to change their decision to erase this world."

"Because this is my home, and you are all here."

Laiboli's eyes turned red, and he turned his head away so she wouldn't see. Zongfang strode over and hugged Qiao Suisui.

He closed his eyes and held her tightly, saying in a slightly trembling voice close to her ear, "I will wait for you."

Cast your votes; I'm going to write something satisfying now. (End of chapter)
