Bai Yu stood up straight as if he had been electrocuted. His whole body was as stiff as a bamboo pole.

Brother Long!

How could it be Brother Long?!

That gaze was definitely not Professor Shen's. Bai Yu had seen Brother Long look at him with that gaze many times. There was no way he would mistake it for someone else.

But he had transmigrated to this world because of the system. What was up with Brother Long?

He stood there thinking for less than three seconds. Then he turned around and rushed downstairs without saying a word. When he reached the entrance of the building, he was pulled back to reality by the system's voice.

[OOC warning!

Your emotions are too obvious. Host, please be careful. I repeat, please be careful!]

Bai Yu, "!!!"

Bai Yu braked at the last moment when he reached the door and almost hit the door frame. He pressed on the door frame to steady himself. He then took a deep breath and put on Zhao Yunlan's skin again. He walked out of the door and pretended to introduce himself to "Shen Wei."

At this moment, Zhu Yilong also turned around, his expression returning to normal.

Although they did not have time to communicate, they tacitly chose to play their roles in front of Daqing and Xiao Guo.

Fortunately, she had acted in a movie before, and she had been binge-watching a lot of dramas recently, so she managed to remember most of her lines. Moreover, there weren't any particularly important lines in the first meeting. After Bai Yu successfully handed Zhao Yunlan's name card over, the scene was considered to be over.

Although the scene was over, Bai Yu had to take Xiao Guo and Daqing to find the murder witness, Li Qian. He could not stay behind to talk to his Brother Long. He could only make a phone call to Zhu Yilong without Xiao Guo noticing.

Zhu Yilong immediately understood. He held the business card in his hand and stood still. He blinked his eyes and agreed.

After they left, the system notified him that the mission had been completed. Zhu Yilong heaved a sigh of relief. He did not even have time to look at the so-called mission reward. He turned around and returned to his office.

After entering the office, Zhu Yilong immediately picked up the landline and dialed the number on the business card.

The person on the other end picked up almost instantly. After saying "Hello," he said excitedly, "Brother Long?!"

Upon hearing this emotional shout, Zhu Yilong finally released most of the anger that he had been holding in all morning.

He sighed in amusement. "How did you know it was me?"

"Do you even need to ask?

Our hearts are linked! "

Bai Yu joked out of habit. Then she said, "I sent Xiao Guo Daqing to look for Li Qian as soon as I came out. Now I'm in the bathroom waiting for your call!"

"Toilet?

You're not sitting on the toilet again, are you? "

"How's that possible?"

Bai Yu, who was sitting on the toilet window sill, jumped down reflexively and looked out the window. "Brother Long, why are you here?"

It would have been better if she did not mention this. Now that she mentioned it, Zhu Yilong's anger that had just subsided instantly flared up again. "How dare you say that!

I'm telling you, it's all your fault! "

"Blame me?

How can you blame me for this?

What did I do? "Bai Yu cried out that he had been wronged." No, Brother Long, where did you learn to shift the blame? "

"Don't be in such a hurry to cry out that you're innocent. This time it's really your fault." Zhu Yilong snorted. "Let me ask you, how did you come to this world?"

"I'm …" Bai Yu briefly described his "fortuitous encounter". He was still confused. After a few sentences, he asked, "What about you?

Did you also encounter this system? "

"I didn't encounter it!

It's purely because of you! "

Zhu Yilong could tell that Bai Yu was still a little confused. He guessed that this guy did not realize that he had been tricked. He sighed and said, "I inexplicably came here after a nap. The system told me that I was selected by its host as an 'auxiliary prop', so I appeared here.

Tell me, is this your doing? "

"Auxiliary prop?

Indeed … Hmm … "Bai Yu felt that these words sounded a little familiar. He scratched the tip of his nose with his free hand and suddenly remembered that he had heard Brother Long's name when he was in a daze. He seemed to have heard a multiple-choice question and blurted out Brother Long's name …

"You remember now?"

Seeing that Bai Yu did not respond for a long time and looked guilty, Zhu Yilong snorted softly. "I'm telling you that it's all your fault. I didn't wrongly accuse you, did I?"

Bai Yu raised his hand and scratched the back of his neck in annoyance. "Hehe, that …" He tried to fool him with a silly smile. Unfortunately, the other party was an expert at fooling people with cuteness. As soon as he heard his laughter, he knew what he was thinking.

"I'm warning you. If you confess, you'll be lenient. If you resist, you'll be severely punished."

Bai Yu was speechless.

Bai Yu's idea of fooling around was crushed in the bud. He felt that life was too difficult for him. He sighed and said, "Brother Long, life is hard. Don't expose me!"

"So?"

"So I'm sorry. I was wrong. I didn't do it on purpose. Please let me go!"

Zhu Yilong was speechless.

Facing this guy, he really could not vent his anger even if he wanted to.

However, if he really let him go, Zhu Yilong would feel uneasy. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly heard a faint knock on the door from the other side of the phone. Someone shouted loudly, "Lao Zhao, did you fall in?!

The witnesses are here. Hurry up and come out! "

"Oh, I'm coming!"

Bai Yu shouted outside. Then, he hurriedly said to the phone, "Brother Long, I'll hang up first. The plot has to continue. I'm going to Li Qian's place. Remember to bring your student back later!"

"Hey." Zhu Yilong was about to say something when he heard the beeping sound of the phone being hung up.

He secretly activated his Qi and decided to temporarily postpone his plan to beat someone up. Only then did he put down the phone. After muttering to himself for a moment, he called out to the system, "Are you there?"

[Yes.]

The system answered very quickly.

"You said before that I needed to be bound to the host in order to use more of the system's functions. Now that the host has appeared, how do I bind to him?"

The system said, [This operation needs to be carried out by the host. You only need to choose whether to accept or reject.]

There's an option to reject?

Zhu Yilong raised his eyebrows and said, "What if I reject?"

[Then you will return to the real world. Other than losing this memory, you won't lose anything.]

The system said.

Zhu Yilong didn't show any joy at this answer. In fact, he had vaguely guessed this answer before.

However —

"I can go back. What about him?"

[The host has been bound to the system. He must complete the main mission before returning.]

The system's voice was still monotonous and emotionless. It was so cold that it was almost cruel. [The auxiliary item is a welfare option given by the system when it is bound. If you reject it, the host will automatically lose this benefit and won't be able to choose it again.]

"… I understand."

Zhu Yilong licked his molars and narrowed his eyes. After a moment of silence, he asked another question.

"What kind of world is this?

If we die here, what will happen? "

[Insufficient authority. Please bind to the host first.]

Insufficient authority again?

Zhu Yilong couldn't help but frown at this answer. He had a bad feeling in his heart. If this world wasn't dangerous, the system could've just told him directly.

However, not only did it not give him a direct answer, but it also used authority as an excuse. This made him think more about it.

Indeed, aside from the many strange systems, everything here looked so real. It was basically a materialized version of Requiem's world.

How could it be safe in a world with supernatural settings?

So it was better to leave as soon as possible, right?

Zhu Yilong sat quietly in the office for a while. Finally, he stood up, pushed open the office door, and walked out.

He first went next door to find a familiar-looking teaching assistant, Zhang Ruonan. He planned to ask her to substitute for his ten o 'clock class. After that, he went to find Bai Yu. He had to solve the case first, and then deal with the weird binding.

However, when he looked up, he saw a small box of cakes on the table. His eyes suddenly turned cold.

This thing … Don't tell me that the plot of the third episode is about to start?

Zhang Ruonan saw that he knocked on the door and came in without saying anything. She felt a little strange. "Professor Shen, you … Is there anything I can help you with?"

Zhu Yilong came back to his senses. His brain worked quickly, and he came up with a solution in a moment.

He composed himself and said, "Mr. Zhang, are you free tonight?"

"What, what's wrong?"

Zhang Ruonan was obviously a little nervous when she was suddenly asked such a thought-provoking question by her Prince Charming, whom she had a crush on.

Zhu Yilong ignored the change in her expression and directly read out the draft he had just prepared. "My student, Li Qian, just had an accident. You know that I'm not good with electronic devices. Now that she's in trouble, I have to redo my courseware. Some of it will be used tomorrow.

I remember that you're good at this. Can you do me a favor and study the courseware with me tonight? "

After he finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Ruonan and blinked his eyes. Mr. Zhang was immediately defeated. He nodded without hesitation.

"Okay, okay!"

"Thank you. See you at six o 'clock tonight."

Zhu Yilong showed a satisfied smile. Before Zhang Ruonan could react, he directly settled the matter and then turned to leave.

Zhang Ruonan was still in a daze. When Zhu Yilong's figure disappeared, he remembered that he had an appointment with three other students that night.

This … six o 'clock in the evening?

What about the birthday party of the students?

Why not … why not … stand up for Prince Charming?!

…

Damn, I'm so stupid!

Not long after he walked out of Zhang Ruonan's office, Zhu Yilong realized that he had forgotten about the real deal. He had been so focused on stopping Zhang Ruonan from going through the plot of the drama that he had forgotten about the real deal.

The class was at ten o 'clock!

If he couldn't find someone to substitute for him, how could he, who majored in acting, teach contemporary college students about bioengineering?

Did he really have to talk about the things that Earthlings and Starfish had to talk about?

What a headache!

It was obviously unrealistic to go back and ask Zhang Ruonan to substitute for him. Zhu Yilong rubbed his temples and decided to find Bai Yu first. He might as well ask him to come forward and solve the problem. After all, he was the one who caused this mess. He must have a solution!
