Spiritual Recovery: Gamification of Reality - Chapter 22

Chapter 22

We are only responsible for solving the problem.

Now that the person who caused the problem was dead, the problem no longer existed.

I like that you remember.

What do I remember?

Remember to silence me in the future?

Xu Bai turned his head and looked at Anya, who was already walking out without looking back. He felt that there was something wrong. Something felt strange.

“Boss.”

“What are you doing?”

“What does it mean to be a mole in this precinct?”

“What else could it mean?”

“Didn’t Team Leader An say that she’s just doing her job? Previously, she investigated you because someone complained about you. Now that the suspect is dead, the complaint is naturally gone.”

Xu Bai blinked. “Is that what she meant?”

Nero took a sip of the wolfberry juice in his hand. “What else do you think Team Leader An meant?”

Xu Bai shook his head.

“That’s not right.”

“What’s wrong again?”

“This snake is probably setting a trap for me.”

“What?”

Xu Bai’s eyes flickered. “Why do I feel like this snake is telling me that the best way to get rid of the problem is to get rid of the person causing the problem? If the person bringing it up keeps quiet, there won’t be a problem. This snake is probably setting a trap for me. The next time I do this, he will be there to get me.”

Nero Zhou opened his mouth and his eyebrows twitched.

After a while.

“You’re overthinking things, Team Leader An. She’s just a little cold. After all, she’s from the internal investigator. This is normal, but from what I understand, she’s actually quite a good person.”

Xu Bai raised his eyebrows and looked suspiciously at Nero Zhou.

Nero Zhou met Xu Bai’s gaze and couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong?”

Xu Bai shook his head. “Boss, you weren’t like this before…”

“Alright, alright. Team Leader An has returned your gun. Take the gun and leave. Get out of my sight. I need to drink at least three cups of wolfberry water to make up for it.”

Xu Bai was speechless.

“That’s a lie. Talk to me…”

“Get lost.”

“Goodbye.”

Xu Bai looked at Nero Zhou, who was about to fly into a rage. He quickly turned around and left the office behind him.

‘But…’

Just as Xu Bai left the office and was about to walk to his seat, he saw something from the corner of his eye. He stopped and looked to the side and saw Anya standing at the office door.

“Uh…”

Xu Bai’s expression contorted. He looked at Anya. “Team Leader An… has always been here?”

Anya, who had her arms crossed and was leaning against the wall, nodded.

“Right.”

“…What did you hear?”

“Let me think.”

Anya smiled. It was as if an iceberg had appeared. She walked towards Xu Bai. “You called me a traitor and a snake. I heard all of this. Did Agent Xu give me any other nicknames that I didn’t hear?”

Xu Bai looked up.

[Name: Anya]

[Gender: Female]

[Level: **** (The target’s level difference is more than five levels. Cannot be checked for the time being.)]

[Realm: ****” (The target’s Level difference is more than five levels. Cannot be checked for the time being.)]

[Familiarity: “****” (The target’s Level difference is more than five levels. Cannot be checked for the time being.)]

“…”

Hiss.

I’m already Level 20. Why won’t the data show?

What level was Anya at?

Furthermore…it had been hidden for so many years. It was too suspicious.

When Xu Bai saw that it was still a series of hidden text messages, he could not help but let out a long sigh.

The next second.

Xu Bai quietly prepared to turn around and leave.

Anya’s lips curled up slightly.

“Wait a minute.”

“…”

Xu Bai stopped in his tracks and listened to the sound of high heels approaching from behind. There was also the indescribable but pleasant scent that began to surround him from behind.

Anya walked to Xu Bai’s side and turned to look at him. After a couple of seconds, she smiled again. “You made the right choice.”

Xu Bai was slightly stunned and looked at Anya. “What?”

Anya said, “There is indeed something strange about Liu San’s case. It’s good to let Homeland Security take over.”

Xu Bai blinked. “Wasn’t this case taken away by Homeland Security when I was hospitalized?”

He really wanted to tell the snake in front of him to stop playing coy. He hated riddles the most. Moreover, he already knew that his Level was very high.

‘But…’

Xu Bai thought about it but kept it to himself.

He was not stupid. He knew that if he spoke without knowing any information, it would cause him unnecessary trouble.

Anya laughed.

“You know what I’m talking about.”

“I don’t know.”

“You do.”

“I don’t—”

Anya turned around and left without giving Xu Bai a chance to explain. However, after a few steps, she stopped again.

Xu Bai looked at Anya and frowned.

The next second.

Anya turned around and a smile appeared on her cold face again. “I know how to smile and I’m very pretty. It’s just that I don’t like to smile.”

With that, Anya turned around without looking back this time, leaving Xu Bai standing there with a dumbfounded expression.

Was he crazy?

Whether she smiled or not had nothing to do with him.

Xu Bai came back to his senses and watched as Anya disappeared down the corridor stairs. He grumbled and turned back to his seat.

Chen Shan, who had been sitting in his seat and observing the conversation with the back of his head, rolled his chair over with a whoosh.

“Brother Bai, what did our Kaoling Flower say to you?”

“What are you doing?”

Chen Shan said in a low voice, “Tell me about it. You don’t know how many people in our police station have asked me about Team Leader An’s every move. Tell me, if we earn money, we’ll split it equally.”

“…Get lost!”

“Come on, it’s a lot…”

“Get. Lost.”

Xu Bai kicked Chen Shan’s chair and sent him back to his seat.

Although Anya was nowhere in sight, he still felt observed.

‘But…’

This was a personal grudge. That was all. He could not secretly use other people’s gossip to benefit himself.

An hour later.

Phoenix City Homeland Security Bureau, Office of the Deputy Director of Operations.

“Knock, knock!”

“Please come in!”

Su Meng’s uncle, who was sitting behind his desk, raised his head and smiled when he saw Anya walking in. “Team Leader An, I was wondering when you would look for me.”

Anya walked in and looked expressionlessly at the Deputy Director of Operations of Homeland Security.
