While the Night Rose nightclub was in chaos, Xu Bai had already left with Shou Hou. He took Skinny Monkey along a lane with no surveillance cameras, got into his car parked in an alley two blocks away, and sped back to the old factory community.

When they reached his house, he brought Shou Hou in and closed the door. Xu Bai dropped Shou Hou onto the sofa.

Skinny Monkey fell onto the sofa. Suddenly, he screamed and jumped up from the sofa while holding his butt.

“Ouch…”

“Shut up.”

“…ugh.”

Shou Hou covered his butt with his hands and looked at Xu Bai with tears in his eyes. Seeing this, Xu Bai could not help but shudder. He sighed and pointed at the guest room. “The medicine is in that room.”

Shou Hou quickly ran towards the guest room.

Xu Bai poured himself a cup of bourbon and finished it in one gulp.

Previously, when he was in middle school, after realizing what the System was, he was feeling suicidal. At one point, he had suspected that he was just a player in a video game. For this reason, he had even jumped off a building. In a game without any rules or restrictions, players faced the NPCs without any moral scruples. So how was he any different from an NPC?

At that time, Xu Bai looked at the NPCs around him with the information bar. He always had the feeling that he had completely put himself in the perspective of a player. In the end, he found a psychiatrist and received treatment. During the treatment process, he relied on his own efforts to learn how to keep other people’s information bar at ease. Only then did this restlessness gradually subside.

It had only calmed down. Today, after killing Xu Qinya, Xu Bai felt that his “player heart” was restless again. Fortunately, he had left quickly. If the security guards had rushed in when he was still there, Xu Bai seriously suspected that he would not be able to suppress his restless “player’s heart”. Xu Bai sat on the sofa, holding his glass with both hands. He sipped the bourbon, and his eyes sparkled.

He went into the guest room. Xu Bai looked at Shou Hou.

[Name: Hou Liang]

[Gender: Male]

[Level: 14]

[Realm: Level Two Martial Apprentice]

[Familiarity: Worshiper]

[Note: Reincarnated person from the Great Desolate World.]

Hou Liang, also known as Shou Hou, was also someone from the Grand Desolate World. However, Xu Bai clearly remembered that Hou Liang’s information was no different from Wang Qiang and the others. There was no Level or Realm. Could it be that he had to wait for these people to remember that he was from the Grand Desolate Plateau before the information panel would recognize him?

“Garbage.”

“…”

After applying the medication, Hou Liang walked to the sofa opposite Xu Bai and sat down. He looked at Xu Bai with an aggrieved expression. “Boss.”

Xu Bai came back to his senses and looked at the aggrieved Hou Liang. He waved his hand and said, “I’m not talking about you.” Then, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. “Skinny Monkey, Hou Liang, Da Huang Ha.”

Hou Liang, sitting across from Xu Bai, froze. When he met Xu Bai’s gaze, he looked away.

“Boss, what are you talking about?”

Xu Bai leaned against the sofa. He looked at Hou Liang, who was shrinking into himself. “Are you going to spit it out, or do I have to make you like when we were young?”

An image flashed through Hou Liang’s mind. He shuddered and looked up at Xu Bai. Just as Hou Liang was about to speak, Xu Bai’s phone rang.

Xu Bai gestured for Hou Liang to wait. He took out his phone and raised his eyebrows when he saw the caller ID.

He got up. Xu Bai walked to the balcony and picked up the call.

Su Meng’s voice came from the other end of the phone. “Master, something happened at the Night Rose nightclub on Peace Avenue. Where are you?”

“…At home.”

Xu Bai frowned and said, “Mengmeng, shouldn’t you be at home…”

Su Meng interrupted him.

“I’ll pick you up now.”

“Hey, hey…”

Xu Bai frowned when he saw that she had been hung up. Su Meng didn’t come to the police station today so Xu Bai thought Su Meng had gone home.

What was going on now?

“Wait a minute.”

Xu Bai recalled Su Meng’s words before she hung up the phone. He came back to his senses, walked into the living room, and headed for the bedroom.

Three minutes later.

Xu Bai, who had changed into a suit, walked out of the bedroom. As he fixed his collar and walked toward the door, he said to Skinny Monkey on the sofa, “Stay here and organize your thoughts. When I come back, I don’t want to have to wait. You’ll tell me everything.”

Shou Hou opened his mouth, but Xu Bai had already opened the door and walked out before Shou Hou could say anything.

Just as Xu Bai reached the entrance of the community, a red sports car arrived in front of Xu Bai like a red lightning bolt in the night.

“Master.”

Su Meng, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, looked at Xu Bai through the passenger window and shouted, “We don’t have time. Get in the car, or the case will be taken.”

She leaned over and opened the passenger door for him. Xu Bai got into Su Meng’s sports car. As soon as Xu Bai closed the door, Su Meng, who could not wait any longer, stepped on the accelerator.

In an instant, the sports car took off.

Xu Bai felt his entire body being pushed into his seat. He saw the surrounding scenery pass by at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.

Buzz!

Su Meng drove the red lightning and quickly flew towards Peace Avenue.
