"Mr. Bai."

A soft call came from behind. Bai Haozheng turned around, looked at the woman in the kimono, and nodded, "I'm here."

He stopped her from exchanging pleasantries, raised both hands, palms up.

In his left palm lay a blue capsule,

In his right palm, a red capsule.

"This is the last chance,"

Bai Haozheng said with a serious expression and a low voice, "Take the blue pill, and you will fall into a dream.

In the dream, you will lose all your past memories and start over,

As a normal person, in an ordinary world without abnormal phenomena,

Born, grow up, go to school, fall in love, marry, have children, grow old,

In the dream, you will live a happy life,

Maybe not rich and powerful, but definitely safe and joyful.

Finally, surrounded by your beloved family and friends, you will die peacefully without regrets—and in this world, your consciousness will dissipate without pain,

No longer bearing this overly heavy burden,

No longer suffering endless cycles of death.

Your soul, without perception, will continue to fulfill its duty of guarding the heretics of the present world, protecting everything in the real world."

Along with Bai Haozheng's words, the words [Zuì Shēng Mèng Sǐ] (living in a drunken dream) appeared above the blue pill.

"Take this red pill,"

Bai Haozheng said, "I will take your soul back to the 'real world' where your body is,

Rescue you from the instrument, and find out what happened to the instrument.

The script mission is over, and the system's restrictions on me have been lifted.

I will negotiate with the abnormal event control department in your world to find a way for you to get rid of this endless responsibility—

I have an item that can stay in the script world for up to three hours after the mission is completed.

Three hours is enough.

However, after taking the red pill,

Your soul and mine will be bound together, you will leave this world, and be forced to get involved in the killing game with me."

Bai Haozheng paused, looked at Yukari Kido in front of him, and slowly said, "I'm sorry, I don't have a perfect way to rescue you from your current situation.

These are the only two choices I can offer you."

"Choices...?"

The woman in the kimono took a deep breath, recalling the photos of the abnormal event crime scenes she had seen in the past, and recalling the officials from the abnormal event control department kneeling and begging in front of her.

She slowly reached out and picked up a pill.

This was the first time someone had told her that she actually had the right to choose.

————

Li Ang opened his eyes, and the familiar living room was in front of him, with a suitcase full of stickers at his feet.

He did not relax his vigilance, but first tested his summoning-type ability.

[Resurrection of Inanimate Objects] could be used, he could take the beehive out of his backpack,

In the system page's task log, the [Holiday Hotel] script task was also displayed as "Completed".

The main purpose of doing this was to check whether Li Ang had really escaped from the Dolphin Hotel,

To prevent him from being caught in some kind of illusion.

"Everything is normal."

After checking everything, Li Ang confirmed that he had returned to the real world, and took out the soul-summoning banner in the shape of a black umbrella from his backpack.

Chai Chai's head immediately popped out of the black umbrella. She looked around the environment vigilantly, and then looked up and down at Li Ang.

She noticed that the style of the white coat on his body seemed to have changed.

"The script mission is over."

Seeing Chai Chai's expression, Li Ang casually explained the process of this mission.

Chai Chai listened to Li Ang's story with a serious face, and sighed with emotion, "That Yukari Kido is really unfortunate... She clearly just wanted to be an ordinary person,

But because she possessed spiritual awareness, she was required to become a machine without self..."

"Yeah."

Li Ang nodded, and as if thinking of something, added, "But Bai Haozheng should help.

He was the first to know the deep worldview of the script mission,

And when we all chose to teleport away, he stayed there, so he probably still has something to finish."

As for whether Bai Haozheng wanted to stay in the script to say a final farewell to Yukari Kido,

Or whether they were mutually in love and suddenly sparked a flame of love, willing to betray the world to be together forever,

That was not within Li Ang's consideration.

"Hopefully."

Chai Chai nodded. From Yukari Kido's ill-fated destiny, she thought of herself, and couldn't help but sigh, "Alas, it's another day without a chance to appear.

This world is full of malice. When will we, the spiritual bodies, be able to stand up?

If this continues,

I feel like my scenes,

Will be like the female supporting characters in domestic TV dramas who don't have financial backing, getting fewer and fewer,

And finally reduced to being a background board watching the male and female protagonists show their affection, only able to bite a handkerchief and shed tears silently in a dark corner where no one can see..."

"You have so much drama."

Li Ang's eyes twitched, and he complained, "Going into a mission is not a fun thing,

Bob and 13mArk are also considered masters, but they died unclearly,

Personal strength is as strong as Ω, but he was tricked into losing his body, and he doesn't even know if he is still himself..."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Ang received a friend request from Ω.

After choosing to accept it, the other party first transferred 1500 game coins, and then sent a few messages to express his gratitude.

The body that Li Ang helped him create was extremely ugly,

And it hadn't been debugged, so the efficiency of using supernatural powers was low.

It was estimated that after a while, Ω would have to find someone to help him reshape his body.

In addition, Bai Haozheng and Hagoromo Kokoro also sent him friend requests, and Li Ang accepted them one by one.

Players entering and leaving the script are instantaneous in the real world.

Since Bai Haozheng could send him a friend request, it proved that he had not died within five minutes of the mission's completion.

This was a good thing.

The Other Shore organization would find out about Black Saint's death sooner or later.

They would definitely try to find out the cause of Black Saint's death, track down clues,

And even use blood vengeance curses to try to directly curse the existence that killed Black Saint to death.

The surviving players had discussed it before leaving the script world, agreeing not to publicize what happened in this mission,

So as not to attract unnecessary hostility.

Since Bai Haozheng was an intelligence analyst for the Special Affairs Bureau, he naturally had the confidence to survive the pursuit of the Other Shore organization, so Li Ang and the others didn't need to worry about him.

Li Ang closed the friend chat box,

And found that Chai Chai had surprisingly not rushed to play games and watch anime after the mission,

But was suspended in mid-air, sitting cross-legged, posing as if she was thinking seriously,

Talking to herself, muttering softly, looking like she was possessed,

"Rely on others, you will always be a princess. Rely on yourself, and you can become a queen."

"If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight. If you want to hold a rose, you must bear its thorns."

"Work hard, and ten years from now you will be extremely grateful to the diligent you now."

As she chanted, Chai Chai suddenly stood up, left a sentence "I'm going to check on the swarm," and ran into the bedroom. No one knew what sudden idea she had.

Li Ang sighed as he looked at Chai Chai's back, then turned his head to check the gains from this mission.
