Chapter 600: Special Affairs Department

Meng Kexin is very sensitive to people's gazes; their corner is fairly secluded, so even if she just chats with Yang Yixie like this, it's actually fine—no one else could hear.

The problem is, she's already seen a few girls getting restless, trying to come over to ask for Bai Mu Yun's contact info.

In response, Yang Yixie merely glanced at Bai Mu Yun beside him.

Given his financial situation, he couldn't afford particularly expensive clothes, but Bai Mu Yun herself has a great sense of style.

That head of white curls is already striking enough in the real world; that cool, aloof aura, plus the dark circles giving a hint of world-weariness, is incredibly appealing to young girls.

"He can really put on an act......"

"Can a sheep also spread its tail?"

Meng Kexin and Yang Yixie couldn't help leaning in to whisper, and Bai Mu Yun's motion of picking up her coffee cup stiffened for a moment.

"I can hear you."

The two merely averted their gazes as if nothing had happened; they were deliberately speaking for Bai Mu Yun to hear.

"Wait for Xi Ren Sheng to come out, then we'll leave; if you have something urgent, you can go ahead first."

They deliberately chose this spot for their meeting—isn't it because this café is nearest to the hospital where Xi Ren Sheng is being 'detained'?

Yang Yixie picked up his phone; after a faint flash of Ying Guang Lu, he successfully hacked into the hospital's surveillance system.

Xi Ren Sheng seems to have used Aberrant Arts to muddle his own condition, making his wake-up time a bit later than the normal return time for players.

The hospital staff are still cooperating with his checkups; so far everything looks normal, and he should be able to be 'released after serving his sentence' before long.

"Then I need to get ready to buy a ticket back to Shoudu."

Meng Kexin said without hesitation, she had basically packed everything she needed to bring; in fact, she also somewhat understood why Hua Jian Lei and Lao Bao had chosen to leave early.

They were originally forced together by this game; after Yang Yixie could no longer enter that game, their communication was bound to diminish greatly.

Especially given the 1:7 time ratio between the two worlds, the game had left them overly exhausted, and they only had this one day to give themselves a little break.

Meng Kexin directly chose to leave.

"Um... can I get your contact info?"

After seeing Meng Kexin leave, the girl over there finally mustered the courage to come over and approach Bai Mu Yun.

Come to think of it, he still needs to buy Bai Mu Yun a phone.

After obtaining Hua Jian Lei's entrusted ID from Meng Kexin, everything became more convenient, but there are still many hassles.

"Sorry, I left my phone at home today; how about next time?"

Bai Mu Yun, no wonder as a big designer who's been making waves in Heavenly Dome City, even though she's just arrived in this society, she's already learned how to politely turn people down.

Yang Yixie only felt a bit bored; he had originally wanted to find some fun little games to kill time, but after experiencing that level of battle, those games lost all their enjoyment.

Come to think of it, his streaming account has been offline for a while, but Yang Yichen recently apparently struck it rich, having previously sent him plenty of money for daily expenses, leaving him completely well-off.

He could also craft a batch of rune weapons and sell them to the authorities under the pretense of entropy increase; in the short term, his family wouldn't have to worry about money.

However, the subsequent troubles in the game were more than he imagined; from Meng Kexin he learned that the Church and the Dome had put aside their differences, fully achieving cooperation to face a common enemy.

Moreover, the Church's team, after returning, was also not stable; the first to bear the brunt were Chi Jinan and Qi Junyi.

No wonder Qi Junyi, who was only in his forties at the time, could replace Chi Jinan in the command position; it wasn't solely because Chi Jinan was crazy enough to need others to direct—if that were the case, they could have simply drafted another squad leader from the Supervision Bureau to join the operation.

Qi Junyi also employed his Aberrant Arts.

And Qi Junyi's Aberrant Arts also happen to be related to balance, though with harsher conditions, which is why he normally only chooses to combine energy with his own physical techniques.

The content of his Aberrant Arts is to convert his own lifespan into a short-term surge in level.

They managed to escape successfully from the Eternal Silent Abyss, and Qi Junyi alone contributed a great deal, since everyone else's trump cards had been mostly spent, plus there was a berserk Chi Jinan.

Meanwhile, Chi Jinan was forcibly subdued by Qi Junyi, taken back to Tianmian City, and then completely vanished from records.

Soon, Yang Yixie and Bai Mu Yun were waiting for Xi Ren Sheng.

Xi Ren Sheng glanced at Bai Mu Yun sitting beside Yang Yixie, merely curled his lip, and held an ordinary impression of him.

This time Xi Ren Sheng came to meet them also to say farewell, since Yang Yixie himself now had enough power to protect his mother without relying on others, so Xi Ren Sheng could go elsewhere to find fun.

That is, the game would become boring again without Yang Yixie's presence, but it looks like it'll turn into Lao Bao's ecstasy later on.

The Aberrant Species outbreaks happen that frequently purely because some combat maniacs are ecstatic.

After chatting for a while, Xi Ren Sheng also chose to leave; this city is still too small and remote, unable to accommodate too many actors as a stage.

After that, Yang Yixie lived several days of quite ordinary life.

He and his mother researched the various university majors together in the living room, evaluating how his scores should be applied for, and which major he himself is more interested in.

For several days straight, Yang Yixie didn't open any games; his computer was practically taken over by Bai Mu Yun, who watched modern fashion shows from various eras, and even began self-studying English to understand overseas fashion shows.

Their life was exceptionally peaceful; all risks would be silently resolved by Yang Yixie before they even approached that old neighborhood, everything plain yet happy.

In the game, Aberrant Species continue to invade this world, and those mutating monsters keep getting stronger; lately, news from everywhere reports Aberrant Species rampaging, then being suppressed by the authorities.

And amid this chaotic high-pressure situation, the authorities officially disclosed everything to the public.

In fact, abroad had already done this a day earlier, but for ordinary people it still seemed distant; however, once the authorities stepped forward to prove it, the situation became completely different.

Originally hidden among civilians, players also responded in droves to the authorities' policy, actively registering, and the authorities also set up a communication forum exclusively for players to interact with each other.

Moreover, the authorities already have an official department to handle these invading Aberrant Species.

This department is currently named the "Special Department".
