Spiritual Recovery: Gamification of Reality

Chapter 27

Xu Bai stood on the road on Peace Avenue and looked at the Night Rose Nightclub located on the opposite side. It looked grand and crowded.

There were five districts in Feng City, in the east, west, south, and north, and one central district.

Xu Bai was currently in the Eastern District. The Peace Avenue that he was standing on was the richest area in the entire Eastern District.

Xu Bai had been there for about ten minutes. He saw at least a hundred people entering and leaving the Night Rose nightclub across the street. Xu Bai had never been to this place before, mostly because he had never been interested in such places. Besides, he did not have any spare money to spend on places like this.

However, Xu Bai had heard his colleagues talk about it. According to them, if one wanted to have fun in the Night Rose nightclub, which was considered the top nightclub in the entire Feng City, one night’s expenses would probably be their annual salary and bonus, and even then it might not be enough. In short, the Night Rose nightclub was a money-squandering den. Fortunately, Xu Bai wasn’t here to play.

The corners of Xu Bai’s lips curled up slightly, revealing a trace of coldness. Then, he took out a pair of silver-rimmed glasses that made him look refined. He walked towards the nightclub where people were coming and going.

Anya was right.

The best, most direct, and simplest way to get rid of a problem was to get rid of the person causing the problem. If there wasn’t anyone causing a problem, there would be no problem.

Since all the problems were caused by Xiao Jingtian’s brother, Xiao Jingnan, wouldn’t it be fine to just eliminate him? Xu Bai was not so weak that he needed his adorable disciple to take a bullet for him.

Su Meng was the one who proposed the idea of exchanging credit for Xiao Jingtian’s brother. Su Meng also needed to use this credit to join the Special Disaster Operations Team. This made it look like it was a fair trade.

“I’ll help you deal with it. In return, you take the credit.”

Although Xu Bai agreed to the deal, it was because Su Meng had nothing to do with the contents of the deal. Even without the threat of Xiao Jingnan, as long as Su Meng said it, Xu Bai would still give the credit to Su Meng so that she could join the team. Xu Bai was not interested in that group anyway, but he was interested in Xiao Jingnan. He really wanted to know how terrifying Xiao Jingnan’s strength was. The best defense in this situation was offense.

What if Homeland Security didn’t stop him? Or, since Xiao Jingnan was so terrifying, what if he found out the truth about his brother’s death through other means? Xu Bai also wanted to know what kind of existence An Ya, Su Meng’s uncle, Su Bancheng, and Xiao Jingtian from the Grand Desolate World were like.

“IDs.”

“Here.” New novel chapt𝒆rs are published on novel(b)in(.)com

Xu Bai, who was wearing casual sportswear, took out his ID from his pocket and handed it to the security guard in a suit standing at the door.

The security guard took the ID and looked at it. Then, he handed the ID to a security guard behind him. The guard behind him placed Xu Bai’s identification card on a handheld device.

[Ding!]

On the screen of the device, the contents of the document instantly appeared and passed the verification. Then, he took Xu Bai’s ID and handed it back to Xu Bai.

“Boss, your identification. Have a good time.”

“Thank you.”

Xu Bai smiled. He passed through the security gate and walked in. It was a fake ID. For Xu Bai, who worked in the police station, it was not a difficult task in getting one.?This fake certificate was not on the 38th Precinct’s system. Xu Bai was not stupid enough to use his authority to apply for a fake certificate for himself.

After Xu Bai passed through the security checkpoint, he saw a bright light in front of him. He arrived at a brightly lit dance hall. The dance floor was full of people. The music was deafening. Xu Bai looked for the washroom. Seeing the sign, he walked straight towards it.

“When is Xu Qinya here?”

“Every day. She lives above the nightclub.”

“Did Skinny Monkey say how to get up there?”

“He did. He was afraid you wouldn’t remember. He told me he wrote a note and put it in the hall bathroom. It’s in the third stall. He wanted to bring it out for you, but they were off duty and there were people checking their bodies every day, so that was the only way.”

“…Alright.”

Xu Bai glanced at the washroom sign above his head and turned left. After walking down the corridor, he pushed open the door to the men’s washroom. After walking in, he looked at the third stall. Fortunately for him, no one was in it.

Xu Bai used his elbow to push open the door. After entering, he took out a pair of gloves from his pocket. Closing the door behind him, he lifted the lid of the water tank in front of him. The first thing he saw was…a plastic bag containing the note.

Xu Bai took out the bag and closed the lid. After throwing the plastic bag into the trash can, he sat on the toilet and opened the folded paper.

There was no map on the paper, only a sentence.

“Surprised?”

“…”
