A Sinister Simulation (Continued)

Liu Bai nodded as he looked at Elysia's smile.

It's rare to find a simulation game so relaxing that I can only play by myself, and I'm actually finding it hard to get used to.

But then again, doesn't this mean I haven't done anything at all?

The only Flame-Chasers he was involved with were Mobius, Kevin, Hua, and Su, plus Mei as the leader.

If left unchecked, this simulation might not change anything at all.

Although I didn't see Elysia's final storyline in the game before I transmigrated, it probably wasn't a happy ending either.

The essence of this simulation is to witness the end...

The simulation itself is a special large-scale simulation, and just looking at the prefix, it seems to have a bigger presence than the final simulation, "The End of Civilization".

Not to mention the bizarre content of this simulation.

Perhaps... Elysia's simulation shouldn't be the second one to be conducted.

Suddenly, Liu Bai had a realization.

It seems I'll have to try simulating other Flame-Chasers.

Fortunately, I don't lack simulation attempts right now...

After all, the rewards given by Otto's nearly four-digit compatibility level are simply too generous.

Furthermore, since Otto's skills overlapped significantly with Liu Bai's, the rewards were basically just skill points and simulation attempts...

"Hey, Liu Bai, stop spacing out."

Elysia waved her hand in front of Liu Bai's eyes.

"Time to go into the playhouse!"

Liu Bai snapped out of his daze and looked up.

Ah... sure enough, the dark little house that used to be completely black has now been painted purple with various star patterns.

"Now, Liu Bai only needs to remember one friend in her mind~"

"Remembering a friend?"

Liu Bai was taken aback when Elysia dragged him into the cabin.

The next moment, the scene before my eyes changed instantly.

[Enter the built-in simulation - Rita Rossweisse's Dream]

[Simulation type confirmed - Dream Simulation]

The results of the dream simulation will not be reflected in reality; they will only be reflected in the simulated subject as part of the dream.

"..."

Dream simulation?

"Ah... that time with Mobius..."

[Yes]

"..."

Liu Bai remained silent.

If everything is reflected in dreams, doesn't that count as a reflection on reality?

——Well, after all, there really was no reaction. If there had been a reaction, things would have gone terribly wrong.

"Oh... I really want to meet the friend that Liu Bai subconsciously recalled."

"..."

Upon hearing the sound, Liu Bai looked at Elysia beside him with a strange expression.

Why is this thing here?!

Wasn't she absent from the last time Mobius's dream simulation?

Okay, I'm used to it. After all, conventional thinking doesn't apply to this simulation.

[Completion requirements for this simulation: Spend 12 hours in this simulation]

But then again, why did I suddenly think of Rita?

Oh... it's because of what Rita said to herself before going to sleep.

Things like doing things couples do at an amusement park, like a first kiss...

He turned around and went to the amusement park with Elysia.

Moreover, it seems that he and Elysia have actually done these things together!

It would be a miracle if you didn't instinctively think of Rita!

... What's causing this inexplicable feeling of guilt?

How did I suddenly become a scumbag who cheated on his gentle and virtuous wife with other women?

Is there something wrong with the script?

Liu Bai couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"This place is really beautiful."

Elysia looked up and around, then glanced at Liu Bai.

"Liu Bai's clothes are also very handsome—he looks just like a prince on a white horse."

"Me? Clothes?"

Liu Bai glanced at himself subconsciously.

Ah...

He wore a purple coat with gold trim, and white collar and cuffs, giving him an aristocratic air.

... Isn't this Otto's usual attire?

Liu Bai looked in the mirror.

Thankfully, I am still myself.

Liu Bai took another closer look at Elysia — Elysia hadn't changed much, still wearing a cool pink dress.

"Hmm... is this change because I have a role to play here?"

Liu Bai glanced at the surroundings again.

A magnificent office... Could this be Otto's office?

Knock knock!

A sudden knock on the door drew their attention.

Knock knock!

"It seems Liu Bai, you're the one in charge here?"

Elysia nudged Liu Bai, signaling him to snap out of his daze.

"Ahem, please come in."

Liu Bai cleared his throat, sat down behind his desk, and spoke.

"Excuse me, Your Excellency."

A beautifully dressed maid entered through the door carrying a stack of documents.

—It is Rita wearing the Dark Rose Armor.

Rita pushed open the door and gave Liu Bai a familiar, gentle smile. However, Rita then saw Elysia standing next to Liu Bai's desk.

A brief look of surprise crossed Rita's eyes.

"Your Excellency, these are today's documents. Please take a look."

Although taken aback by the sudden appearance of strangers, Rita's outstanding manners led her to place the documents on Liu Bai's desk.

"Good morning, Rita... By the way, do you see anything on my face?"

Liu Bai first greeted Rita, then asked abruptly.

"Thing?"

Rita looked slightly confused.

Which aspect are you referring to?

"...It's nothing." Liu Bai shook his head. His presence didn't seem to surprise Rita at all—well, it was just a dream after all. "By the way, could you please change your title? I'm not used to the title 'Bishop'."

It seems I've taken Otto's place.

... So, does that mean Rita actually really wants to become the Bishop of Schicksal?

"Change how you address me?" Rita pondered the request for a moment, then a smile appeared in her eyes. "Then... Master?"

"Cough cough! That's so cheesy..."

Although Liu Bai felt great, he remained rather reserved.

He then lowered his head as if looking at a document.

Seeing Liu Bai looking down at the documents, Rita turned her gaze to Elysia.

"Excuse me, miss, who are you...?"

"Um, she's new here..."

Liu Bai then remembered that he still needed to explain Elysia's matter, but Elysia interrupted him the next moment.

"I am Liu Bai's friend!"

Elysia smiled and reached out her hand to Rita.

"My name is Elysia, and what is yours, Miss Maid?"

"Friend?"

Rita paused for a moment, then gave Liu Bai a meaningful smile, but still gave Elysia a peaceful smile.

"My name is Rita Losweiser, my master... also Lord Liu Bai's personal maid, and... wife."

Liu Bai: "..."

"..."

Elysia touched her chin.

"... Why does this setting feel so familiar?"

Then Elysia also cast a strange look at Liu Bai.

Dr. Mobius was also designed this way, right?

Why is it that all the roles you play Liu Bai, are other people's husbands?

"Cough cough."

Liu Bai coughed lightly twice, then lowered his head, pretending not to see.

"What do you mean by déjà vu?" Rita asked Elysia with a smile.

"Uh... it's nothing."

Seemingly sensing danger in Rita's smile, Elysia immediately shook her head.

"I just didn't expect Liu Bai to be so popular..."

"Is that so?" Rita continued to smile. "As a wife, I'm also quite worried that my husband might be lured away by some shady women."

"..."

Elysia scratched her face.

Why does this sentence sound so familiar?

"Please don't mind it, I wasn't talking about you, Miss Elysia."
