Chapter 195: Who Are You?
After the meeting, Bai Yan returned to the real world.
Now, lying in bed in his pajamas with a newly bought phone in his hand, he appeared lazy yet calm—completely different from his demeanor as ‘Profligate’ or ‘Savior’ when he was just giving directions in the Crystal Palace.
Bai Yan got up from the comfortable white bed, took a deep breath, opened the curtains, and looked out at the sunlight streaming in.
He squinted his eyes slightly and felt the coolness of the autumn breeze.
A good morning.
It was already past eight in the morning, and Bai Yan knew very well that Lady Helen and her daughter Sylve must be having breakfast by now. They were the type of aristocratic family who ate breakfast relatively late.
In this small family, most of the servants woke up at five, had their meal at six, and then began to clean various rooms and prepare breakfast for the masters.
Everything in the villa would be properly taken care of before eight o’clock.
Only then would the mother and daughter wake up, wash up, and come together to the dining room for their meal.
In fact, the Air Alliance’s noble etiquette was mostly learned from the Euro League.
After all, the founding members of the Air Alliance were just “landlords” in human settlements in the “wilderness” at the beginning, completely unrelated to the aristocracy.
The customs and practices of the Euro League are more similar to modern times, where many people there are unaware of the existence of the internet, and the so-called “true aristocrats” are also preserved in the Euro League.
The Air Alliance was nothing more than a country formed by a group of upstart aristocrats.
By the way, the name “Euro League” was only given to them by the Air Alliance and Night Union. Those people often referred to their country as “The Kingdom of Dark Light” or “His Divine Kingdom.”
The Euro League had a much older history than the Air Alliance and the Night Union, and had direct divine protection. Many people there believed that theirs was the most perfect country, and the other two nations didn’t need to exist at all.
Bai Yan came to the bathroom, took out his washing supplies, and began to brush his teeth and wash his face.
After that, he went to the exclusive bathroom used by the daughter of this mother-daughter pair and calmly sat in the bathtub for a soak.
On odd-numbered days, he would use Sylve’s bathroom, and on even-numbered days, he would use Lady Helen’s bathroom. He had always done this.
After dressing up, Bai Yan finally made his way to the dining room, where the surrounding servants completely ignored his presence.
There were many hot dishes on the table, including Chinese cuisine that Bai Yan specifically instructed the chef to prepare. The taste was decent, and the freshness was definitely guaranteed.
After enjoying everything, Bai Yan calmly came to the luxuriously decorated secondary living room in the villa, where Lady Helen and her daughter were also present.
They sat calmly here, watching the big television not far away, while Bai Yan sat by the side, watching with them.
Sylve hadn’t been going to school recently. Due to her bullying of a classmate, a girl’s arm was broken, and Sylve needed to stay at home to avoid further trouble.
There were actually many programs on the television in Tatsumi City, with a variety of channels, but most of them were not very interesting… Lady Helen was a news enthusiast and was currently watching the Air Alliance news.
The biennial election for the Air Alliance leader was about to officially begin, and the eighty kings were roughly divided into two factions. One faction was the “Eyes” supported by the Eyes of the Empire, which supported a middle-aged man named Luun to become the new leader.
Luun was a very eloquent guy, a big fat and strong bald man who could talk about anything confidently at any time. But many people thought he was just a puppet of the “world.”
The other faction of kings supported the mastermind behind the Shadow Association, a woman nicknamed “Ms. Peggie” or “the Secret Box.”
Bai Yan remembered her well. This awful old woman was openly bisexual and was quite interested in the unlucky Maryse in private. She had even reached out to the Augustus family on her own initiative.
By the way, the previous leader could not be reelected as the new leader. The name of the previous leader was “Yue Xin,” an old man who was over a hundred years old and had not publicly expressed support for either side.
The eighty kings of the Air Alliance represented 228 independent cities in the country, and in Bai Yan’s impression, only twenty-six of the “kings” had oriental faces and surnames.
To be honest, during the first few years of his cross-border travel, Bai Yan always felt that a country where Eastern and Western people mixed together was strange. But he gradually got used to it later.
After all, this was the Otherworld, where even rabbits could talk and fight. What else was impossible?
“If only we could hire supernaturals at the awakening level… cough, cough.”
Lady Helen seemed to have a bit of a sore throat. She suddenly coughed several times while watching TV, slightly lowered her head, and held her throat.
“Do you need me to pour you a glass of water, Lady Helen?” Bai Yan suddenly asked gently.
“Very well, Mr. Moriarty.”
Helen turned her head towards him, smiled, and nodded. She lightly touched the ends of her hair, seeming to become a bit doubtful.
Bai Yan got up to pour two glasses of water—one for himself and the other he handed to Lady Helen.
Lady Helen and Sylve both watched the scene silently, neither seemed to be moved.
After a while, Lady Helen frowned suddenly and asked in confusion, “Mr. Moriarty, I’m sorry, but I can’t seem to remember—who exactly are you to me?”
She soon became aware of a huge sense of disharmony. How could she ask such a question to someone she was familiar with?
Wait, her husband had already passed away and she didn’t have any brothers with her.
Mr. Moriarty, this person who seemed to have already lived with me for a long time… this person… Who is he?
Who exactly is he?
Sylve, who was standing aside, also froze and asked perplexed, “Mom, why would you ask such a question? Isn’t Mr. Moriarty our… our…”
She stayed there for a while, suddenly realizing that she couldn’t remember who this man was either.
Despite his presence in many places in her memory, she still didn’t know who he really was.
“What is going on here?”
Lady Helen became increasingly aware that something was wrong and suddenly stood up in fear!
Full of horror, she looked at Bai Yan who was sitting there calmly.
A tremendous sense of absurdity and despair rose from the depths of Lady Helen’s heart.
“Who are you?”
She screamed and protected her daughter, her heart pounding with fear as she trembled uncontrollably.
And Bai Yan just sat on the sofa, wearing a smile on his face.
“It seems that it’s still not good enough. Memory modification is a very complex matter. I still need to practice more… You all need to cooperate with me more in the future. Sorry about that.”
It felt quite good to have these two experimental subjects who had committed many wrongful acts but were not deserving of death by your side…
“Memory modification?”
Lady Helen and Sylve were both stunned. They instinctively tried to turn and run, but quickly realized that the servants from the family had all silently gathered around them.
Every person stared at the mother and daughter with a confused expression.
Full of strangeness.
Lady Helen instinctively held her daughter, her heart filled with despair and fear.
What’s going on? What exactly happened?
Who exactly is he?
“Please, let my daughter go. I am willing to do anything…”
Before the words were finished, Lady Helen and Sylve, who were embracing each other, also looked confused.
They sat down again.
Then, both of them ignored Bai Yan, who slowly put down his palms beside them, and heard nothing.
“Very good, very obedient.”
Bai Yan smiled, took the remote control from Lady Helen’s hand, and changed the channel.
The news now was meaningless. He already knew who would become the new alliance leader.
After having lunch together, Bai Yan came to the garden of the villa alone. He sat on a clean bench and took out his phone to open “Babel Tower.”
“Think carefully, besides you, there is no one else who is more suitable for it… Only when the Sword of Demons is drawn, can it be rotated with you for use.”
Actually, other Core Operators could also use it, but normal people could not bear this kind of gameplay.
After much deliberation, Bai Yan finally gave the Sacred Rune “Astarte” he obtained not long ago to Fusion Slime.
“It’s decided, it’s you.”
