Chapter 0005 Report on a Fake Person!
Three hours later.
The dormitory was so quiet you could hear a pin drop!
Wu You stared at the score on the computer screen, his expression frozen.
For the past three hours, Liu Bai has been right about every single ball!
The score of Xia Guo team, the own goal, and the final score of this match is 3 to 2!
"This is absolutely outrageous!"
Wu You stared at the computer screen for a long time before finally managing to utter this sentence.
He could guess that Liu Bai had known about the previous team-building activities in advance from someone else.
But the ball game...
He couldn't even imagine that someone could predict an own goal or an accurate score!
This is an official competition!
Even if a match is fixed, it's not something an ordinary person could access, let alone someone like Liu Bai who has no interest in football!
So now there's only one possibility!
Liu Bai's statement about going back to the day before is true!
"So, do you believe me now?" Liu Bai asked, looking at Wu You, who was standing there in a daze.
"Monster invasion, going back in time, this is simply..."
Wu You turned to look at Liu Bai, his eyes burning with desire:
"This is so awesome! It's like a time loop in a sci-fi movie! You're the main character!"
"Main character my foot!"
Liu Bai looked utterly helpless:
"I'd rather everything be peaceful and uneventful; that monster can kill!"
"You already have the ability to loop through time, what are you afraid of?"
Wu You remained noncommittal.
"If you keep going through this cycle enough times, you'll eventually find a way to survive, right? So... good brother, don't forget me when you're rich and powerful!"
Liu Bai nodded. Since he had told Wu You about this, he would naturally take him with him on the run.
"Now that the competition is over, when is the earliest we can get the money? As soon as we get it, we'll fly to Kyoto!"
"Just wait until the football betting shops open at 10 a.m. tomorrow."
After Wu You finished speaking, he took out the lottery ticket and beat his chest in frustration:
"What a huge loss! I didn't bet more on this match, and I've lost a hundred million!"
Liu Bai was speechless.
"Shouldn't the focus be on the monsters right now...? You can't have all the money in the world if you don't live to enjoy it!"
"That's true!"
Wu You immediately realized what was happening and said seriously:
"By the way, what's the origin of those monsters you mentioned?"
Liu Bai shook his head:
"I don't know. Before I died last time, I searched online all night but couldn't find any information about monsters. But one thing is certain: there are monsters on the train, and a lot of them!"
Wu You continued to ask:
"Where was the train at that time?"
Liu Bai pondered for a moment, then said uncertainly:
"Around 7 o'clock...it should be in Anan City."
Wu You immediately adopted the demeanor of a famous detective:
"The monster on the train might have followed us when we boarded in the city, so we need to avoid everyone after we fly to Kyoto!"
Liu Bai agreed:
"We'll find a secluded, deserted place to hide, and keep a close eye on the news from Luocheng!"
"Also, we'll call our family when the time comes to see if anything unexpected has happened!"
"Your home is in another province, and mine is on the other side of the province. If monsters only appear in Luocheng, it's impossible for them to quickly appear in other provinces!"
Listening to Liu Bai's arrangements, Wu You nodded seriously:
"Okay, I'll do as you say!"
Liu Bai stopped wasting words:
"Let's check the plane tickets first. The school is half an hour away from the airport. I'll get the money at 10 o'clock, so I'll book a ticket for after 11 o'clock."
After Liu Bai finished speaking, he immediately opened his phone to search.
He lives in Yue Province, which is located in the southernmost part of the country, but it is only a three-hour drive from Kyoto.
Wu Youze had no objection to this matter, and instead asked Liu Bai about the characteristics of the monster.
He planned to search online again himself!
Because he felt... these features sounded somewhat familiar.
Liu Bai had no objection to this and described all the characteristics of the monster.
His last death occurred in the second timeline.
On his second playthrough, although he searched thoroughly, there were bound to be some oversights.
Wu You is a seasoned internet surfer and a more professional information searcher than him.
"There is a flight from Changyun Airport to Kyoto at noon tomorrow."
Liu Bai looked at the message on his phone and called out to Wu You, who was sitting at the computer desk.
"Then let's lie here."
After giving a brief reply, Wu You continued browsing the colorful websites.
For him, nothing is a big deal unless it's the end of the world.
Even if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up.
"Okay, it's settled then."
Liu Bai nodded, noted down the itinerary, and then climbed into bed and lay down.
The dormitory air conditioner was on, but the air was thick with a stuffy atmosphere, like the prelude to midsummer.
The dormitory has returned to quiet.
The doors and windows creaked as the evening breeze pushed them open.
The toilet faucet was dripping continuously.
The sound of Wu You's keyboard typing was intermittent.
Lying back in bed, Liu Bai didn't feel sleepy.
He had just woken up, so naturally he couldn't fall back asleep.
"What exactly are these beings?"
The monster had extremely long limbs and immense strength. He didn't believe that the Federation was unaware of such a being!
What's more, after the monster peels off the human skin, that skin will stand up and become a new monster!
If this kind of thing isn't dealt with, it will fill the whole world in just a few days!
"Hiss~ If it happened all over the world, wouldn't my family and I be doomed?"
Liu Bai couldn't help but shudder.
If it were to spread all over the world, then humanity would be completely doomed!
Thinking of this, Liu Bai opened his phone again and began searching for the characteristics of these monsters.
Even if the sky falls, there are still tall people to hold it up.
But since monsters exist, it's best to find out about them beforehand!
He just wanted to live a peaceful life!
.........
"Old Bai, wake up."
A soft voice called out in Liu Bai's ear.
He groggily opened his eyes and instinctively picked up his phone.
【8:39】
"Hiss... It's the next morning!"
Liu Bai woke up instantly.
Wu You looked at Liu Bai strangely:
"You're really something. You slept all day yesterday and were still able to sleep last night."
"I fell asleep while lying down."
Liu Bai got up, rubbed his eyes, and immediately went to the bathroom to wash up.
He didn't fully wake up until he finished washing up.
Liu Bai looked at Wu You, who had faint dark circles under his eyes, and asked while looking at his phone:
"How did your investigation go last night?"
"I found some information that might resemble the monster you described."
Wu You looked exhausted, but his eyes were filled with excitement:
"However, this is a niche urban legend that was popular abroad a few years ago."
"Urban legend?"
Liu Bai immediately perked up: "Let me see."
Wu You gestured for Liu Bai to come to the computer and skillfully opened the record document.
"This urban legend has been banned in various countries for some reason, and only a few words of it can still be found online."
"Currently, only someone like me who uses VPNs extensively to surf the internet still remembers it."
Wu You stepped aside, and Liu Bai looked at the document on the computer.
[Report on a Fake Person]
A striking title.
Liu Bai sat down directly, focusing his gaze on the document.
"First, pseudo-humans are creatures that imitate humans. Some have extremely long limbs and immense strength. Others have no physical form and can only attach themselves to objects. But without exception, their code of conduct is to eliminate or replace humans!"
