Chapter 640: Long Time No See

A few minutes ago.

Chen Mo Zhi hadn't expected that the Church would send Si Jing to negotiate with the authorities.

Now it seems he can no longer be called Die Yuzhe, because after the Eternal Silent Abyss operation, the team led by the Dome was Fang Zhiyan, and after Fang Zhiyan's identity was exposed, the squad he brought in also fell under suspicion.

Many of them outright defected from the Church; Si Jing himself was the Church's undercover agent in the Dome, so he was hauled back with the main force.

In the end, only Sha Yu Feng's whereabouts were unknown.

These past few years have been extremely turbulent, with too many events; Die Yuzhe also doesn't know where Sha Yu Feng went, whether he's dead or alive, or if he even arrived in this world.

Although Chen Mo Zhi was a bit surprised, it was only a surprise, since he and Si Jing have little interaction.

Even though he was sent by Chen Xiao Shuang, he actually didn't know what he was supposed to do; his sister only wanted him to come over once, saying someone else would handle the negotiations.

He thought Si Jing had been sent to negotiate with the authorities.

Then the two of them waited here, waiting, and after a while they saw Meng Kexin and a girl in an official uniform walk in side by side.

Both were dressed very efficiently—one with hair up, the other with a high ponytail—carrying a document as they discussed the situation; after entering, they merely glanced casually at the two grown men.

"That should be about it," Meng Kexin said, then handed a copy of the document to Ye Lin and walked over to Chen Mo Zhi.

Chen Mo Zhi instinctively pushed his untouched water over, and Meng Kexin naturally took it and took a sip.

If it had been drunk, Chen Mo Zhi would never have dared to hand it to her.

That is probably the tacit understanding they've built over so long a partnership.

Chen Mo Zhi also didn't expect that Chen Xiao Shuang would send Meng Kexin to handle the negotiations.

After all, she is also an Undead.

Sensing Chen Mo Zhi's strange gaze, Meng Kexin gave him a look.

"Don't worry, your sister and I have already signed a contract; she gave me the position of general manager of the company."

After all, Chen Xiao Shuang intends to integrate the Chen Family's enterprises into this world, and the best way is to find a local who knows the market, and Meng Kexin happens to meet all her requirements.

She is familiar with the Chen Family's situation, understands the real-world market, and having worked for the Chen Family so long, she also has a solid foundation of trust.

That's not the issue......

Chen Mo Zhi had long suspected Meng Kexin's identity, but never dared to expose it; when the world merged and that body fell stiffly, it truly terrified him.

Fortunately, after full integration, that body turned into specks of starlight and vanished completely, and he seemed to understand something.

But now, after all, it's not a good time for reminiscing.

All branches of the Church chose to actively cooperate with the authorities, and the authorities did not issue any oppressive contracts—like treating game survivors as slaves—rather they opted for tolerance and acceptance.

However, capable Special Ability Practitioners are subject to much stricter rules, and Si Jing accepts reasonable proposals without objection.

The entire communication process went quite smoothly; Ye Lin, representing the authorities, seemed to have negotiated with the Church many times, being thoroughly familiar with the procedure, and quickly finalized some details.

But after the discussion ended, the situation turned uneasy.

Meng Kexin looked at Si Jing opposite her, her expression rather odd, but finally she sighed, as if offering gentle counsel, yet somehow also sounding like a threat.

"My personal suggestion is that Mr. Die Yuzhe should stay in Tianmian City and not come down to the surface......"

Die Yuzhe:???

He recalled that he didn't think he had ever offended this miss?

Si Jing painstakingly recalled every possible conflict with this miss, only then remembering the incident at the auction a year or two ago.

Ah, speaking of it, one of the victims at that auction was someone who had been sitting beside him...

Strangely, Si Jing felt as if he were sitting on a bed of needles.

The other victim, Ye Lin, was merely tidying the documents before her eyes; upon hearing Meng Kexin's words, she slightly frowned, as if worried Meng Kexin might clash with Si Jing.

Chen Mo Zhi didn't know what had happened, only that the previously smooth negotiation atmosphere suddenly shifted and grew tense.

Then he silently moved to stand behind Meng Kexin.

"How should I put it......"

Meng Kexin slightly frowned, feeling at a loss for how to begin.

How should she tell Si Jing that there may be many people in this world who want his life?

Back then in the Eternal Silent Abyss, Ying Duo had once harbored murderous intent toward Si Jing, but perhaps fearing the circumstances, ultimately she never acted.

But this world also has another direct victim, Bai Mu Yun......

Unlike Ying Duo's fleeting impulse, Bai Mu Yun was a genuine victim, killed by Die Yuzhe.

Although the specifics are unknown, since she was responsible for transferring and introducing Bai Mu Yun's consciousness, upon seeing the phosphorous residue on Bai Mu Yun's consciousness and meeting Si Jing, she could guess the gist.

A Consciousness Law Special Ability Practitioner is precisely such an entity, adept at killing invisibly; until death, many people don't even know how they themselves were trapped to die.

"No, no need to say more......"

Si Jing raised a hand, stopping Meng Kexin before she could utter the words.

He had already realized that he would not leave Tianmian City another step; any tasks that require dealing with the outside world should be left to others!

Back then in the Undercurrent, he had offended far too many people, all of whom are now high-level figures in this world; he is still very pragmatic.

"Hello, is anyone there?"

Jiangdu knocked on the door, and after hearing a response from inside, pushed it open and entered.

"Hello, I was sent by the authorities to serve as a guide for a few people......"

After opening the door, Jiangdu froze in place.

The official suddenly approached him, saying that a few guests from Tianmian City were visiting; ever since Tianmian City descended into this world, Lei Zhao has been very silent, often locking himself inside his house.

Indeed, after all Lei Zhao had never explained his identity to the authorities, originally thinking he was in a different world, perhaps they'd remain like that forever.

As a result, towns from the game world merged into this world.

He didn't know what to do, and then the official suddenly showed up.

It is said that the newcomer is also a student of Mitra Academy; if he is as well, they might know each other, and even if they don't, they have common topics, so I hope he can introduce this world to these people.

Also out of curiosity about the newcomer, Jiangdu agreed.

As it turned out, he really was an acquaintance!

Even though each face before him had become far more mature, they were, after all, the Academy's notable figures, and in his pitifully limited memory they stood out especially; with just one glance, Jiangdu recognized them.

Clearly, for him, it had only been a month or two since they last met......

But in the game, it felt like that much longer.

"Long time no see."

Qi Hengyu looked at Jiangdu's face, thought for a moment, then recognized him and was the first to rush over and greet him.
