Chapter 356 Book of Destiny_2
"Oh, oh, the person you often mention, she really does look a lot like me," Xiaoyue said with a sparkling gaze, pulling on Ai's face.
The two girls standing together looked like twin sisters, one with a voluptuous chest and the other flat-chested; one without glasses, her big eyes curving into crescents as she smiled, the other wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, her gaze as cool as ever.
"From now on, you all must call me 'Captain Your Excellency.'" Wang Hao cleared his throat, beginning to enjoy the pleasure of having a harem.
"Captain Your Excellency, you now have two girls!"
No need to guess, it was definitely Xiaoyue teasing him.
"Say it again!"
"Captain Your Excellency~~~"
For some reason, Xiaoyue's call had a pouty tone, transforming her into Yueyue. Wang Hao suddenly realized that the "cousin" label hadn't carried over into the game.
This woman is really letting herself go!
"Shall I continue to show you around here?"
Xiaoyue immediately shook her head, "Actually, I'm not really interested in weapons like Star Annihilation Cannons; I'm just interested in the stories here."
"Like your two guests, what kind of achievements will they eventually make?"
"And about the storyline involving Prehistoric Civilization, don't you think that's more fun than big guns?"
Xiaoyue looked around east and west, quickly getting the hang of the life equipment in Paradise.
Even though there were only three people in the world right now, it seemed somewhat desolate.
"Alright," Wang Hao sighed, "Ai, using the ability of the Emperor of Heaven, deduce the future."
"To use the High Level Demon God's ability and activate the future timeline deduction function will consume 31.34 of Space-Time Tidal Energy, are you sure?"
This expense did not constitute any trade, so it didn't need to be counted in the cost system of the "Desire" shop.
But, it still felt a bit reluctant.
Wang Hao fell silent for a while, suddenly noticing a gleaming golden book, "plop," falling in front of him.
Picking it up to look.
The cover had two pitch-black characters— "Destiny."
[Book of Destiny, a mysterious book that can peek into the future destinies of mankind. Peeking into the future brings karma that the observer must bear themselves, can be used only once a day. Preciousness level: S.]
"Do I have this thing in my treasure trove? Or is it property left over from Prehistoric Civilization?"
"Or is it Lucky Fish Fortune bursting forth, sending a treasure for free?"
Wang Hao picked up the book, relishing in reading it.
...
In the view of Ai and Xiaoyue, a gold book suddenly popped out from the black flame above the Captain Your Excellency's head.
The cover had two pitch-black characters— "Destiny."
Not everyone could read this book. Ordinary humans who saw its contents would immediately go insane, and even the artificial intelligence Ai subconsciously blocked her visual function.
Well, Xiaoyue was no longer surprised by the sudden finding of Equipment like this.
But Ai stood there somewhat bewildered, "Captain Your Excellency, do you still need me to calculate?"
"No need for that, why pay when you can get it for free!"
...
Wang Hao took a deep breath and opened the cover.
"Observe the life trajectory of Fu Liaoyi."
Text began to appear, and soon it filled the pages with Fu Liaoyi's forthcoming life trajectory.
The first chapter had only a few pages, introducing that in the coming years, Fu Liaoyi would graduate smoothly from university and successfully pass the judicial examination, becoming a well-performing lawyer.
"Pretty much in line with what was expected," Wang Hao chuckled. "Drinking our 100,000-yuan Life Spring makes passing university exams a breeze."
He flipped to the next page.
But the second chapter of the book suddenly became ominous.
The chapter was titled "The Death of Jin Qi!"
At first glance, he still didn't know who this "Jin Qi" was.
But soon, Wang Hao frowned slightly—it was the girl "Qiqi," a sister who was very good at acting!
His favorite sister Qiqi, she actually died?!
In fact, during the four years Fu Liaoyi was in university, he and Qiqi didn't have much interaction. Their destinies were like two straight lines, intersecting only at a single point, then growing further and further apart.
But for some reason, at this moment, Qiqi appeared again in Fu Liaoyi's view, still as a dead person.
According to the "Book of Destiny", Qiqi's original dream was to become an actress, but she never had good opportunities, so she had always been looking for the right chance.
She dealt with so-called "high society" and "rich businessmen" just to realize her own dream.
In the following years, due to her beauty and cuteness, she was noticed by an entertainment company and signed a harsh contract.
Elated and heart pounding with excitement, sister Qiqi thought she could achieve a career of her own.
But soon, she knew what the real Mortal World Hell was—though she gained some negligible film and television resources after joining the company, she was also bound by exorbitant breach-of-contract fees that restricted her personal freedom.
In this wicked company, there were many predecessors who had committed suicide, but why did those predecessors commit suicide?
Because they were forced by reality, they had to do certain things for the company.
If they were unwilling to entertain a dozen clients a day, they would be locked in a room and beaten for several hours; forced into intercourse with multiple clients; and in order to better serve the clients, they were also required to consume various drugs to satisfy the clients' special fetishes. All sorts of bizarre demands—if not obeyed, they might be beaten.
Before committing suicide, Jin Qi made a tearful phone call to Fu Liaoyi, who she hadn't contacted for a long time, lamenting that she was merely a plaything, and that even in death, she would not stir up much of a storm.
...
"You are a lawyer, can you help me? I want to leave the company... I just want to leave... but the breach penalty is simply too high, I can't afford it."
"..."
"If, on that night, I didn't need anything and just hoped you would take me away, would you have taken me away?"
Fu Liaoyi was silent for a very long time, trying to think of a better solution, but clearly, he couldn't change such cruel realities.
He sighed, "I don't know, perhaps… People really need dignity, right?"
"Yes."
However, nothing could be done over.
After the phone call, Qiqi leapt from a high-rise building.
She left a suicide note, listing some names, a list imbued with dark aspects.
Regrettably, this list didn't cause any ripple. No one took responsibility, and her death was in vain.
The young Fu Liaoyi, at least, was not capable of fighting against these things.
...
"What a chilling story."
"I knew it, as soon as it ties into that damned topic of 'saving humanity,' the game just couldn't be enjoyable anymore."
Wang Hao sighed lightly, then suddenly remembered—there were such stories in the real South Gao Country as well, making his heart feel helpless.
What's true and what's false, the lines blur.
He wanted to flip to chapter three of the book, but was suddenly stopped by Xiaoyue.
"Your beloved Qiqi sister just jumped off a building and died like that? Aren't you going to do something about it, big cousin?" Xiaoyue blinked, speaking somewhat sympathetically.
"What do you mean my beloved Qiqi sister, I don't have anything to do with her." Wang Hao hurriedly clarified, "Even Fu Liaoyi himself only had that one day of connection with Qiqi. It was just that she decided to commit suicide and then called Fu Liaoyi."
"What can I do then?"
Xiaoyue pondered for a while and said, "Is there... any way to save her?"
"After all, we are only predicting the future, the events haven't happened yet, why can't they be averted?"
Xiaoyue began to implore her cousin—not in the game, but in reality, old Wang felt his arm being gripped and shaken by Xiaoyue.
"Don't press on me, we are playing a game."
Such cutesy, coquettish behaviors can be hard to bear!
The AI student Xiao Ai was dumbfounded, not believing this was even possible.
Why doesn't Xiaoyue approaching old Wang cause a personality collapse?
Is it because of normal human relationships?
