Chapter 638: Luo Jinyou: You don't know anything, do you?!

Well, well, does everyone know Ying Duo's identity?

Even back in Heavenly Dome City, Luo Jinyou had vaguely sensed that Ying Duo felt no real belonging to the Dome; later Ying Duo almost blurted out his Undead identity to him, and Luo Jinyou roughly figured it out.

But no matter what, the Ying Duo he had gotten along with for so long was still the Ying Duo he knew.

"Your relationship is really good; I've never seen him make such a good friend before."

Yang Yichen couldn't help sighing, saying that usually Yang Yixie values family above all else; although he seems to have one or two close friends he plays with, it's impossible for him to risk his own life for them.

"Actually...... is it okay?"

Luo Jinyou spoke hesitantly, really not knowing how to describe this friendship that felt like a home invasion.

Calling it friendship, he was simply arranged by Ying Duo to be clear about it; clearly he wanted to help, but ended up helping nothing, while Ying Duo figured out how to resolve the fragments inside him.

From start to finish, he felt like a useless extra, helping with nothing.

"Just the fact that he would cause a scene across all of Tianmian City to take you away shows how much he values you as a friend."

Yang Yichen nodded; his brother always acts this way—when he can't solve a problem, he tries to blow it up, expand and shift the conflict, then in that process find a way to achieve his goal.

But Ying Duo said taking him away was a mission of the Dome, right?

Luo Jinyou looked utterly confused, yet still echoed a few of Yang Yichen's words.

"Um, where is Ying Duo now......?"

He still asked it out.

In the game, after Ying Duo cast them all aside and walked a path no one had taken, he went to find the entropy-increasing people; although Hua Jian Lei didn't chase him away out of respect for Ying Duo, they indeed had no information there.

Of course, mainly Hua Jian Lei was too lazy to go back to reality and ask.

He couldn't possibly message the strategy group asking, 'You faked your death; if someone comes looking for you, how can I relay a message for you?'

Rather than worrying about this cliché drama, Hua Jian Lei would rather go to a bar, invite a few pretty girls for a drink, and properly enjoy the 'vacation' time after returning to reality.

"...... What's your name?" Yang Yichen frowned slightly.

"Luo Jinyou."

"Fine, I'll just call you Xiao You."

Yang Yichen nodded; since Ying Duo and Luo Jinyou were very familiar, he also directly used the nickname.

Yang Yichen's expression looked very solemn, and Luo Jinyou's heart tightened along with it.

Could Ying Duo have had an accident? Besides, his mental state in the game has always been off; if he comes into massive contact with divine fragments, he'll only be swallowed by the madness hidden within, which then affects reality......

"There's one thing you must prepare yourself for——"

Luo Jinyou clenched his fists, already prepared for the worst.

"The Xiao Xie of this world, that is Ying Duo, might not at all be the person you know."

Yang Yichen sighed heavily; Ying Duo is an Aberrant Species, his soul already twisted, and he no longer qualifies for a player to take over, while the Yang Yixie of this world is merely an ordinary person.

Perhaps Luo Jinyou would want to have some contact with this world's Yang Yixie; he must clarify this beforehand.

"The Xiao Xie of this world is just an ordinary person; he's never encountered anything dangerous, nor does he know any deep truth about players and Aberrant Species."

"If possible, I hope you can stay away from him, at least until the two worlds have blended to some extent, so you can keep your distance."

These words are more out of his protective instinct as an older brother for his younger brother.

This world's Yang Yixie is really ordinary; even if you have a grudge against Ying Duo, don't go harming my younger brother!!!

Yang Yichen still appeared calm on the surface, watching Luo Jinyou before him suddenly fall silent; he merely shook his head inwardly.

Since Luo Jinyou and Ying Duo are friends, he thinks Luo Jinyou won't bring danger to Yang Yixie; it's just that accepting this reality might take him a little time.

Luo Jinyou: "......"

Luo Jinyou: "???"

But, but...... Ying Duo isn't an Undead, is he?

Luo Jinyou's brain nearly crashed at that moment; others still thought he just needed a little time to accept reality.

Luo Jinyou had always thought Ying Duo would join the entropy-increasing people to rescue the Undead trapped in the Dome, cooperating with the authorities; but now it seems the authorities don't even know Ying Duo's identity at all?!

Luo Jinyou suddenly felt a bit relieved; he's not a talkative person, and he didn't corner Yang Yichen to spill all of Ying Duo's information in one go.

Afterward, Yang Yichen, out of respect for Ying Duo, also voiced comfort to Luo Jinyou several times, basically saying their authorities aren't rigid old fogeys who cling to rules, and they believe they won't do anything excessive to Luo Jinyou.

So by now, Luo Jinyou isn't really worried about how the authorities might treat him; he's more concerned about how they'll treat Ying Duo once his identity is exposed.

Shen Zexi turned around, noticed Luo Jinyou's shoulders still slightly trembling, and reached out to place a hand on his shoulder to comfort him.

"Don't worry, we're all with you."

Actually, Chen Mo Zhi originally came with them too, but the Chen Family now also has its own pharmaceutical company cooperating with the authorities; since Chen Mo Zhi needed to accompany them and Luo Jinyou to the surface, he was also assigned some Chen Family tasks, such as liaising with the authorities.

Chen Mo Zhi went off to handle his own affairs first; he'll come join them later.

"Hmm......"

Luo Jinyou just nodded absentmindedly; he didn't even know whether he should tell the truth to Qi Hengyu and Shen Zexi.

Although he knows Ying Duo is an Undead, the game's Ying Duo has basically cut off all contact with them; Shen Zexi and the others did ask him about some past events, and Luo Jinyou told them all he knew, after all he didn't know much to begin with.

But the situation is different now; they're very likely to run into Ying Duo on some surface street, and he definitely knows them.

Knowing them...... then what?

Actually, he'd probably just pretend not to know them; Ying Duo's brother said he's basically just an ordinary person in this world......

Shen Zexi didn't know why Luo Jinyou suddenly fell low-spirited again; he must have thought of some bad possibility, he was just about to tell Luo Jinyou not to be so pessimistic when the long-closed door was pushed open from outside.
