Chapter 678

The node had completely collapsed. It was like catkins falling from the sky. Amidst the dazzling lights, it entered the rhythm of death, bringing with it a sense of desolation. When everything disappeared, the environment returned to the original appearance of Room 233. A bed, two bedside cabinets, a table, a small television, and a cramped bathroom.

In the room, Su Bai and Fatso stood there. Su Bai stood there with his eyes closed, motionless.

Fatso walked in front of Su Bai and waved his hand. Su Bai still did not move.

"What happened to him?" Fatso said to himself. If something happened to Da Bai right after he was promoted to Advanced Listener, it would be too melodramatic. It was like crying for a drop of sweet dew.

"That Gold died too suddenly. Although the power to reverse time is fake, there is still a part of it left in his body. You can forcibly wake him up now. At most, he will feel a little uncomfortable. But let him stand here alone for a while, and he will recover," the remnant soul of the princess said in Fatso's heart.

Fatso nodded. He understood what it meant. It was almost like Gold had helped Su Bai before. It was equivalent to giving Su Bai a powerful injection of stimulant. The side effects had not yet passed. Of course, it was not dangerous for Su Bai. It was probably just that people who had carsick would be fine after sitting in the car for a long time.

"What's wrong? You are not going to say goodbye? You have helped him so much. Are you going to leave without saying anything?" The remnant soul of the princess saw that Fatso was about to open the door and leave.

"You don't need to care about my business." Fatso scolded the remnant soul in his heart. "Oh, you can't stay in my body for too long. You are too unlucky."

Pushing the door open, Fatso walked out of Room 233. When he walked out, he suddenly found that the magic circle outside the door was still there. It was still in operation. The magic circle here would not affect people who went out, but it would affect people who came in greatly.

Mr. Lei, is he still there?

Fatty wasn't very sure about this matter. He had the intention of finding Mister Lei to discuss some matters regarding matrixes, but it was hard to say if Mister Lei would even care about him. He didn't know when it started, but Fatty, who had always taken pride in running errands for the strong, actually had a rather proud and aloof temperament.

Fatso thought about it. He must have been infected by that mental illness.

Shaking his head, Fatso did not even return to his room. He went straight to the elevator and went to the hotel entrance. There were still a few listeners sitting at the hotel reception desk. They had not left yet, waiting to see the result.

Seeing that Fatso had walked out, they all stood up.

Fatty waved his hand. "Come, brothers. Let's go find a restaurant outside. We can talk while we eat. I'm starving."

It was now morning. Although it was almost noon, it wasn't past the morning tea time yet.

…

The news that Fatso had come out spread to the ears of all the listeners who were still here. Most of the listeners who were still here went outside to find Fatso, who was having a meal together. As a result, the table that Fatso had ordered could not be occupied, so he had to change to a big private room.

This was also because Fatso had a good interpersonal relationship, so many listeners had great expectations for some news from Fatso. In addition, except for a few people, the rest only knew that after everyone had been kicked out, only Fatso could continue to stay in that node.

After Liu Tao learned about this, he did not go to the restaurant outside to chat with Fatso. He went directly to Mr. Lei's room, but just happened to see Mr. Lei pushing his small suitcase out slowly.

"Mr. Lei, are you going to leave?"

"The node has collapsed, so there is no point for me to continue to stay here. It is better to go back first and make tea with the water from my well."

Liu Tao took the initiative to help Mr. Lei carry his suitcase. This was not flattery. After all, Mr. Lei was worthy of Liu Tao's help, be it in terms of age or experience. He was someone who had started to gather people to build a listener forum when he was still an experiencer. He still had this bit of foresight.

"That person came out," Liu Tao said, "but only one person came out, and that is Zhang Bayi, that Fatso."

"Oh," Mr. Lei responded faintly, without any special reaction.

"Mr. Lei, do you think he took out that magic weapon?" Liu Tao deliberately did not ask about Sun Hai. In fact, things were already very simple. Although he still could not enter room 233 because of the formation, now that the node had collapsed, if Sun Hai had succeeded in advancing to Senior Listener, he would have already come out and let everyone call him "Sir." It was impossible for him not to come out now. He simply could not help it.

So, the result was now very clear. Sun Hai did not succeed, and it was probably over.

"He can't take it out." Mr. Lei casually sighed. He knew that Liu Tao did not understand this. Some knowledge had to be at least at the Advanced Listener level before one could truly come into contact with it. For example, the existence of the things in the node was originally not allowed by the rules of this real world. Usually, it could only be used in secret, but it could not appear in the hands of a person or a Listener. This was because this thing could not see the light of day. If it wanted to see the light of day, it had to be severely damaged and become a defective product. However, that would lose the meaning of taking it out and using it.

Just like some chemicals, they could only be stored in sealed containers in the laboratory or preserved in other special ways. They could not be completely placed in the natural environment, otherwise, they would quickly react with water or oxygen in the air and deteriorate.

Liu Tao sent Mr. Lei to the door. After watching Mr. Lei get into the taxi, he slowly retreated to the side.

Before the taxi drove away, Mr. Lei pulled down his window and looked at Liu Tao, who was still standing respectfully on the side. Humans were not plants and trees, and they could not be emotionless. Even if a dog had always been considerate to you, you would still throw a bone at it.

"When do you plan to leave?" asked Mr. Lei.

"Soon," replied Liu Tao. Liu Tao replied. There was a high chance that Sun Hai had already fallen, so he had to go back and handle the matters in the forum as soon as possible. This involved the redistribution of benefits.

"I suggest you stay for another day and see what happens." Mr. Lei smiled. "Do you still remember the guy in the black sportswear in the video? He's the same generation as me."

After saying this, Mr. Lei rolled up the window and signaled the driver to go to the airport.

Liu Tao stood in the same place and chewed the last words of Mr. Lei in his mind. Mr. Lei's meaning was actually very simple. That was, the young man in black sportswear was also a senior listener, but why didn't Mr. Lei mention it before?

In Liu Tao's view, if the young man in black sportswear was also a senior listener, the previous appearance and departure, as well as the subsequent overlapping images, could be explained.

Human nature was always curious and awe-inspiring about things that they didn't know. At the same time, they would throw all kinds of possibilities and impossibilities at the head of the unknown. Liu Tao was naturally envious of the level of the Advanced Listener, so he naturally felt that it was reasonable for any incredible things to happen to the Advanced Listener.

This was like the perception that ordinary people had when they looked at the veterans. In the eyes of ordinary people, the veterans were really no different from Gods.

So, did Mr. Lei also determine that the person was also a senior listener after a lot of analysis? But why was he able to enter that node when he was a senior listener?

Although many details were brainlessly thrown to the conclusion that he was a senior listener, there were still many things that could not be explained. Liu Tao was too lazy to continue thinking about it. The death of Sun Hai would certainly cause changes in the vested interests of the forum administrators, including himself, but he still felt that compared to those, it was more cost-effective to befriend a young senior listener. After all, since Mr. Lei did not know this senior listener at the beginning, it meant that this person should also be newly promoted. Taking advantage of this time to build a good relationship would always be beneficial in the future.

After all, Liu Tao's mentality was different from Su Bai's. Su Bai was only short of an opportunity to be promoted to senior listener, but Liu Tao was still a long way from being promoted to senior listener. Promotion was far from being arranged in his schedule. Naturally, his mentality towards senior listeners was completely different now.

...

The node collapsed. Su Bai, who had just been promoted to senior listener, was still immersed in the pleasure of promotion.

Strength.

For men, it was no less than good wine and beautiful women. It could really make people addicted to it and unable to extricate themselves.

However, when he teleported back, Su Bai found that it was dark outside. He remembered that when he entered this node, it was already in the middle of the night. Was the sky still dark now?

According to the time in the node, it should be in the morning. Could it be that the time in the node was also different from the real world?

But it should be impossible. After all, the node was fake. That piece of Gold could not have the ability to tamper with the flow of time like the horror radio story world.

Fatso was not in the room, which made Su Bai feel a little strange. After the node collapsed, the two of them should have appeared in this room together. He picked up his phone and planned to call Fatso, but he found that there was no signal at all.

"Forget it."

Su Bai found a pair of headphones in his backpack and put them on. He pushed the door open, walked to the elevator, and took the elevator down. After getting out of the elevator, he jogged all the way out of the service hall.

The night in Guangzhou was deep, and beside him was the Pearl River. For some reason, it seemed that he had stayed in the node for a long time and had seen the old Beijing Road street from more than 20 years ago. At this time, Su Bai suddenly wanted to run along this street and have a look.

This feeling was like revisiting an old place. In fact, it was really revisiting an old place.

At this time, a black listener Montbus, who had just gotten off the plane to participate in the listener forum event tomorrow, had just found a group of black brothers playing together near the hotel.
