In the Quick Transmigration Bureau,
A room filled with cutting-edge technology was packed with top doctors from all over. They all focused on the beautiful youth lying quietly in the holographic pod, whispering to each other from time to time.
The youth in the holographic pod had an androgynous face, fair skin, a perfect facial structure, eyelashes like raven feathers, and a high nose bridge. His lips, though pale and fragile, were still astonishingly beautiful.
It made one wonder what a magnificent sight it would be, how breathtaking, the moment he opened his eyes.
"Alas, ever since young master Ye activated the holographic world and his soul entered the small worlds within the game, his soul has grown weaker and weaker. If this continues, the situation is not optimistic."
"Mm, if young master Ye doesn't wake up soon, he might remain in the small worlds forever, and the real world will see him become a vegetative state, or even brain-dead."
"If only we could track his soul and wake him up."
"Have the task-takers from the Quick Transmigration Bureau encountered young master Ye in the various small worlds? Alas, even if they did, they wouldn't be able to confirm it's him."
"The possibility is too slim. Firstly, his holographic pod was modified by himself, so we can't study it without moving his body. Secondly, if we forcibly wake him up, he might be stimulated, and the situation could worsen. Lastly, he himself is indulging in the small worlds and unwilling to wake up. It's difficult..."
...
Ye Xuan, the director of the Quick Transmigration Bureau, watched the youth in the holographic pod with a blank expression, his eyes holding an unfathomable depth of concern.
This was his only brother, his only kin. Was he going to lose this brother?
Suddenly, the power equipment in the entire room flickered. Ye Xuan hurried to check. Fortunately, the holographic pod's power supply was self-contained and unaffected.
The next moment, a maiden, dressed in an intricately designed ancient gown and indescribably beautiful, hovered above the holographic pod. Her gaze was fixed on the youth within, a hint of surprise in her eyes.
Ye Xuan moved his body subtly, blocking the woman's line of sight, and asked in a friendly yet wary tone, "Excuse me, who are you?"
With current technology, it was impossible for people to levitate in the air. Who was this woman? And she was wearing strange, indescribably beautiful ancient clothing. Could she be a soul body from a cultivation world in a small world?
But looking at her solid form, she didn't seem like a soul body.
"I'm here to find him." The maiden extended her slender, jade-like fingers and pointed at the youth in the holographic pod.
The maiden was Qiao Ci.
Even Little Spoon was seeing Qiao Ci's true appearance for the first time. She bore some resemblance to her appearance in the system space, but was a thousand times more refined and perfect.
Sensing a familiar aura from the maiden before him, Ye Xuan's gaze sharpened, "Are you a Quick Transmigration task-taker?"
"You could say that," Qiao Ci replied indifferently, her entire being exuding an indescribable laziness, elegance, and nobility.
Having been discovered, Little Spoon, fearing further transgression, quickly reported its whereabouts to the main system.
After asking others to leave, Ye Xuan remained in the room alone with Qiao Ci.
Qiao Ci traced Ye Bai's features through the transparent holographic pod, her expression unconsciously carrying a hint of gentle doting.
My youth, I have come to find you. Kuai Shu Ge.
It's just that I didn't expect you to be in such a state. Why haven't you woken up yet?
"Hello, my name is Ye Xuan, and this is my younger brother, Ye Bai." Seeing that the woman had no intention of harming his brother, and even exuded traces of tenderness, Ye Xuan finally felt relieved.
"Qiao Ci," Qiao Ci replied.
"May I ask what your relationship is with my brother?" Ye Xuan already had some guesses and wanted to get confirmation from Qiao Ci.
"Boyfriend and girlfriend? Partners? Spouses? I suppose all of those apply." Facing the cub's family, Qiao Ci showed no shyness; instead, she answered his questions very calmly.
"When you were doing Quick Transmigration tasks, did you encounter my brother? And did you find your way here using some method?" Ye Xuan voiced his conjecture.
"Mm, I encounter him in every world," Qiao Ci stated frankly.
"Is he happy in the small worlds?" After a long pause, Ye Xuan asked, pursing his lips.
As the director of the Quick Transmigration Bureau, he was busy every day and had no time to care for his brother. What brought his attention to the matter was Ye Bai's immersion in the holographic world, to the point of becoming a vegetative state.
He wanted to save his brother but had no idea how.
Upon learning that Ye Bai was likely unwilling to wake up due to his indulgence in the holographic world, Ye Xuan's self-blame only grew. He didn't know why Ye Bai didn't want to wake up, and he knew too little about his younger brother.
"In the plots of every life, he's been very miserable," Qiao Ci said truthfully, concisely.
Ye Xuan knew Qiao Ci was a task-taker and that her mission might be related to his brother. He asked again, "Your mission is to save Ye Bai from his miserable fate in every life, right?"
Therefore, you were able to charm him and have intimate relations with him.
Ye Xuan felt a complex mix of emotions about this purposeful courtship. He didn't know if Qiao Ci truly loved Ye Bai or if it was a misconception developed during her missions.
Most importantly, obtaining his brother's affection through some sort of ulterior motive made him feel his brother was being shortchanged.
Firstly, the emotions were not pure. Secondly, none of the Quick Transmigration task-takers he knew were emotionally exclusive. Because they had to continuously charm target individuals in various small worlds, even if they were different people.
However, he wouldn't say it explicitly. Currently, if he could safely wake his brother, this woman might be the key.
"No, my mission is to abuse the scumbags." Qiao Ci's small face turned a little serious. She then remembered that in every small world, she seemed to have been busy dating, which was somewhat neglecting her primary duties.
"Then my brother?" Ye Xuan was now genuinely curious. "Are you abusing my brother?"
"Your brother is just a pitiful supporting cannon fodder character," Qiao Ci said concisely. My mission has nothing to do with your brother.
"Uh, so you were together in every life?" Ye Xuan was a bit confused.
"Mm." Facing the cub's family, Qiao Ci's attitude was quite good.
Mainly, Ye Xuan seemed to care quite a bit about the cub, and she didn't dislike him much.
"May I ask, how were you able to recognize my brother, that passerby cannon fodder, in every world?"
He knew Qiao Ci's identity was likely not simple, possibly even beyond scientific explanation. After all, no one had ever appeared out of thin air and suspended in the air without any technological support. However, Ye Xuan still wanted to know how Qiao Ci recognized his brother, or how she found her way here through the holographic worlds.
"I could recognize him at a glance." Before Ye Xuan could ask why, Qiao Ci continued, "In every world, he was the most handsome."
Ye Xuan: ...My apologies, I was being too shallow!
