Chapter 629: 12.31 Unknown Star – Modern ABO World: The Protagonist Shou, Yi Rouya
While the couple in the other condominium room was having a world on their own, Hei Anjing and Zhi Yue these two gossipers were munching on popcorn cooked by Zhi Yang as they watched the live streaming of the events unfolding in the other room. They don’t need modern surveillance as they have a high-world surveillance system installed in Zhi Yue and Zhi yang. They were treating Hei Yuhua and Ye Yuyan’s story like a movie.
Zhi Yue commented, “Who is this Yi Rouya? Even if he is the Protagonist Shou there shouldn’t be a way for him to know Yuhua is coming over that day right? What do you think of Lord Hei?”
“I think that the bump on Yuhua’s forehead looks painful. If you didn’t slow down his fall for a bit his forehead would be definitely bleeding right now~” Said Hei Anjing.
Zhi Yue helplessly complained, “Lord Hei, I’m asking about that character Yi Rouya. Don’t you think it’s weird?”
“It’s not that weird. There are two kinds of people who will appear in that situation. One is a world hopper like us and the second option is that Yi Rouya is a person who regressed like what we did to Hei Yuhua and Ye Yuyan.” answered Hei Anjing.
Zhi Yang commented, “That character Yi Rouya’s background of the story is that the heavenly laws allowed him to regress with full memories of the future. He pushed Hei Yuhua to death to get the ending he wanted.”
“This world is more complicated than the few worlds we entered,” said Lou Wei while massaging his wife’s shoulders.
.....
Yun Jie remained calm as always and said, “This is an S-class world. For A-class and S Classes worlds, rebirth, regression, reincarnation and transmigration are all possible.”
Hei Anjing thought of something and said to Zhi Yang and Zhi Yue, “Yang, you have a copy of Hei Yuhua let me see it, Yue the same goes for Ye Yuyan’s memories. I need to make a comparison and find the flaws of that toy... I mean Yi Rouya’s movements.”
Zhi Yang and Zhi Yue did as they were told. After giving Hei Anjing the memories of both Ye Yuyan and Hei Yuhua, he found what he was looking for. Every time Ye Yuyan and Hei Yuhua would be destined to meet at a certain place, Yi Rouya would interfere and force one of the pair to leave. Thus, this fated pair never got to meet each other except for the certain situation where one would hate the other.
The others who watched as Lord Hei asked Yun Ming in Yun Jie’s to weave the two memories and reconstruct them so that the two memories would become one big plot for three people. Yun Ming as a former God of Fate can reconstruct a being’s whole life story in accordance with his wants. At that time as long as he doesn’t go against the divine laws and forcefully include his fate with another high-ranked God, he would have never ended up falling to the Nether System as a prisoner.
Warden Lou was dumbfounded that his lover being able to do this means his memories and skills had all come back to him. But he who locked those memories can never be undone without the Nether keys in his possession.
“But how? The Nether keys that lock your memories and skills are still on me?” asked Warden Lou in Lou Wei’s body.
Yun Jie glanced at him and answered honestly, “In the world where my role is to be an Ice Spirit King, Lord Hei gave me a drop of his blood. Nether Keys’ main material is the blood of someone from the Mo Family. Lord Hei’s blood had the same effect as the keys. It is just that my memories return bit by bit the same happens with my skills. I just... didn’t tell you about it.”
Lou Wei, “...”
Hei Anjing said, “Don’t get angry, Warden~. As the Young Lord of the Nether System, I also have the privilege of pardoning prisoners in exchange for him serving me. I had chosen A’Ming as my aide. So in the future, he would be working with you. He cannot come back to the God System as God of Fate. That role had long been taken over by one of my cousins.
You should know them right? They are Uncle Mo Baojun and Uncle Shen Siwang’s sons. They are twins, the elder one is called Shen Wanyi and Shen Yaolan. Though they like using the surname Mo rather than Shen. Wanyi is the new God of Fate while Yaolan is the God of Dreams.
So~ A’Ming can’t return to his former job. If you don’t accept him and allow him to work in the Nether System, A’Ming wouldn’t have a place to return to~” explained the God of Destruction.
System Yue commented, “But to be able to stay in the Netherworld one would have to become a Nethergod. Lord Hei isn’t a Nethergod but he is a God of Destruction, the Nether System is under his jurisdiction as he is the wife of Lord God Ye. Sir Yun Ming would need to get married to someone from the Nether System to enter the records of the Nether world.”
“Right. We are strict when it comes to the background of those who worked for the Nether System because those who might have connections outside would be partial once they saw their family members falling to imprisonment and destroying the stability of the Netherworld,” said System Yang.
Calm as always, Yun Ming says, “It’s okay. I can just marry Wuye when that time comes.”
The jolly System Yue said, “Kyaa~ how cheesy... A proposal on the spot!!”
“Well, that’s okay then.” reacted System Yang, he is as cool as always.
Lou Wei hugged Yun Jie like a big bear and said, “Yes, I will marry. I will marry you, Ming’er~”
With a rare smile on Yun Jie’s face, he tried to calm the huge bear hugging him. He almost destroyed the task he was currently working on.
“Calm down. I’m working now, dear,” said Yun Jie.
Hei Anjing joined the fun and said, “After our trials let’s have a double wedding and leave for the honeymoon.”
System Yang asked, “What about work then, Master?”
“It’s okay. Let A’Liang and Jue-ge handle it. If not enough, A’Xia and I will ask someone else to help for a while too.” replied Hei Anjing.
While the group was having fun playing around System Yue noticed the arrival of someone they didn’t expect, System Yue who had nothing to do would take control of the surveillance camera in the house of his lords or the road surveillance recordings. It is his hobby to gather things that involve the two lords. So when someone like Yi Rouya who is considered the Protagonist Shou of the world appeared they weren’t surprised.
Hei Anjing looked like he was about to have something new to toy with. While Yun Jie who was merging two memories found out that today was supposed to be the day Prime Minister Ye would go visit his son and Lou Wei would come over to report. Yi Rouya asked the minister to bring him over as well with the excuse that he misses him.
Lou Wei spoke, “That’s weird. I’ve already reported to the Prime Minister secretly about Hei Yuhua’s identity to him. Why did he still come over?”
System Yang checked the past world records a few hours ago and saw the reason why the prime minister dropped by the place.
“Found it. The communication between the Director of Aster, Wei Ying, and Prime Minister Ye had resumed when the identity of Hei Yuhua being an Agent of Aster was reported by Lou Wei. It was Director Wei who asked his friend to explain the current situation with Hei Yuhua and Ye Yuyan. Yi Rouya tagged along without permission but the old minister couldn’t push him away. So they ended up coming together.” explained Zhi Yang.
Zhi Yue asked, “Why did that protagonist shou come over? Didn’t we change the identity of the protagonist gong to an unknown variable?”
“Then he must have chosen Ye Yuyan who was a knight in his memories. What should we do, Lord Hei?” asked Yun Jie.
Under the gaze of everyone, Hei Anjing’s lips curl into a smile until he smirks like an evil being. He looks like he is enjoying himself as he explained to them the plan. Zhi Yang and Zhi Yue returned to their avatar form where only a few beings can see them. Hei Anjing resumed his ghost form and only allowed Ye Yuyan and Hei Yuhua to see him aside from his group.
Together with the two systems, Hei Anjing came over to the next room and explained the situation to the couple. On the other hand, Lou Wei and Yun Jie acted as they came over to report together with their designated bosses. Lou Wei came to report to Ye Yuyan while Yun Jie came for Hei Yuhua though this is only a part of the activities they planned to expose Yi Rouya to a different reality he had expected.
By the time the Prime Minister arrived outside his son’s condominium with Yi Rouya, they saw Lou Wei who was about to knock on the door with Yun Jie standing beside him. Once the two recognize the Prime Minister they’ve greeted him accordingly.
“Greetings to the Prime Minister!” said Lou Wei and Yun Jie.
The Prime Minister was delighted to see them, especially Yun Jie. If an Agent from Aster, someone like Yun Jie, appears here that means that the person his son had fallen in love with is the same person he met at the hotel. It might have been an accident to sleep together at that time, but his son did the right thing to take responsibility for his actions. The old father was finally relieved that his son wouldn’t grow old alone as he thought he would be.
‘This must be Agent Yun. The one who works with the top Agent of Aster. Does that mean my son and Agent Hei already live together? I wonder when I’ll be able to hug my grandchildren... Hoho~’ Thoughts of the Prime Minister as he returns the greeting to the two good young men before him.
“Good. No formalities are needed. We would all become a big family soon. Are you two here to report?” asked the Prime Minister.
Lou Wei smiled like a silly man and responded, “Well... The captain suddenly took a vacation and there is still some work left behind. I came to report about those.”
“Same reason as above,” said Yun Jie.
The Prime Minister knows that the young couple had been suspended temporarily. This is due to the sudden interaction between the police force and intelligence division. There is a need to stabilize the news first and hide a few things in secret.
“Well, that is also true. Then you can come with this old man to meet the young couple.” said the Prime Minister.
Meanwhile, Yi Rouya who didn’t expect to hear about his long-time crush suddenly having a lover felt like he was slapped on the face. He came over to stop Hei Yuhua from meeting Ye Yuyan. As though as long the two didn’t meet he would have successfully interfered with their fates to become lovers.
The events unfolding before him are totally different from what he remembers. Not only did the other man he is destined with had not shown his face in his dreams, but he had longed to decide that this man is supposed to be his future lover. If there is someone who fits to become his mate then he wants it to be Ye Yuyan.
He had such a dream. He even thought that some of the situations he had witnessed are the exact copy of the ones in his dreams. Like that night in the hotel where Ye Yuyan was drugged and slept accidentally with Hei Yuhua. So to Yi Rouya, as long as Hei Yuhua dies in the end, Ye Yuyan would become his.
Yi Rouya panicked seeing that the scenes he had seen in his dreams and had thought would happen in reality were different from what he had expected and was now a bit frantic at the sudden changes.
“I-Impossible... They aren’t supposed... to meet yet!?” exclaimed Yi Rouya.
Lou Wei and Yun Jie stared at him indifferently as if watching him act like a clown. The Prime Minister on the other hand was weirded out, but how Yi Rouya was acting and reprimanded him on the spot.
Prime Minister Ye said, “What’s wrong with you!? Suddenly shouting in front of someone else’s house, don’t you have manners?”
“S-Sorry... Uncle... I’m just...”
Click!
The sound of the door opening was followed by someone’s voice asking, “Who was it? Please don’t be noisy in front of someone’s house! Eh..”
Before Yi Rouya could complete his words the door nearest to them suddenly opens. Revealing Hei Yuhua who was wearing a clean, long and loose white sleeve and pants looking at the crowd outside the door. His surprise was shown on his face as he didn’t expect the arrival of these people. He only comes out to check where the noise outside is coming from.
“Prime Minister? Brother Wei, A’Jie, what are you guys doing here?” asked Hei Yuhua.
When in reality he and Ye Yuyan were watching the whole scene thanks to the live surveillance of System Yue. Hei Anjing ordered Hei Yuhua to come out at this time to provoke Yi Rouya further.
The Prime Minister was caught off guard and didn’t know what he was supposed to say to his daughter-in-law who suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Lou Wei and Yun Jie stayed silent while waiting for the show to progress. Then coming out of the house after Hei Yuhua is Ye Yuyan who was wearing the same type of clothes as Yuhua but black in color. They are obviously wearing a couple attire. Which looks annoying in the eyes of Yi Rouya.
“Yu’er, what’s wrong? Who came over?”
Ye Yuyan even reached out a hand and held Hei Yuhua’s waist as soon as he stood beside him.
Looking at his dumbfounded father, Ye Yuyan grinned and said, “Old man you came to visit. Are you here to check on your daughter-in-law?”
“D-Don’t be rude, A’Yan,” said Hei Yuhua to Ye Yuyan as he tried to pull away from the claws that were grabbing his waist. He even whispered to Ye Yuyan, “Let go. There are elders.”
“No. What’s wrong with me hugging my wife? The old man should be envious instead.” whispered back Ye Yuyan.
It was Hei Anjing who taught them how to flirt in public. But they act naturally as they genuinely love each other. As expected the others had suffered getting fed dog food on their faces. But Yi Rouya, who was watching from the side, could almost not hold back from pulling away Hei Yuhua, whom Ye Yuyan was hugging. Jealousy was shown not only on his face. He even looks like he wanted to eat Hei Yuhua alive at that moment.
Even his thoughts were in chaos, ‘How could this happen? Why are they already together? Isn’t Hei Yuhua supposed to come over for the first time today? What the hell is happening!? Are my memories faulty!!? AAAHHH!!!!’
