ARIWLBBC Chapter 45

The room was so quiet that one could hear breathing. The teenager turned his head and looked up along the arm, his lips lightly brushing against the back of the man’s hand, warm and soft, as if offering a sincere and careful reward to the savior.

Breath left a fleeting mist on the metal cufflink. The teenager looked up, resembling some kind of furry little creature, with bright black eyes reflecting his own hero.

Bo Ge had only seen the image of a big cat in military uniform in projections, a swift and upright figure, exuding a solemn and dignified aura. But seeing the big cat in military uniform standing before his eyes was another kind of heartbeat.

The pure black and gold blend was a restrained, elegant, and solemn combination, with a sturdy and resolute temperament supporting the uniform from the inside out, a perfect match.

Finally, someone in the room reacted, their voice trembling, waking everyone up.

“Vice, Vice-Stabilizer.”

The Vice-Stabilizer from the Second World, the Chief of the Interstellar Alliance in the real world, a figure only glimpsed through projections, was standing vividly in front of them one day!

“It must be fake…” Slime turned into a blob of jelly. “I must be dreaming.”

Everyone unconsciously pinched themselves; the pain with a realism level of 80% made everyone understand that this wasn’t a dream.

The room space flickered, and a dozen inspectors in black uniforms entered the room. The rules set by players were ineffective against the inspectors and Vice-Stabilizer. The room became even more crowded, and the hyenas tried to huddle together, attempting to avoid getting close to these expressionless official figures.

“Class B incident, designation B0357.”

Bo Ge heard the man speak, his tone as cold as if he could freeze ice crystals, devoid of any emotion, without the slightest fluctuation in his voice, as if dealing with an event completely unrelated to himself.

“Player Yang Yun, attempted assault on Alliance Tier 1 protected species, maliciously attacking law enforcement personnel. Law enforcement personnel are to make an immediate punitive decision.”

“Requesting activation of intelligent blur for protected species.”

Suddenly, a voice sounded in Bo Ge’s ear: [Request successful.]

Hmm?

It seemed that everything in front of him was pixelated, only able to vaguely discern the general shapes. Bo Ge felt the hand on his face move away, and vaguely saw Yang Yun being held by the big cat by the throat, his whole body lifted up.

With a click, like the breaking of a bone, Bo Ge tried hard to widen his eyes, but the figure before him remained blurry, like wearing glasses fogged with mist, making it impossible to see clearly.

The room fell silent, and no one dared to move. The hyenas tightened their bodies, trying to minimize their presence.

“In the Interstellar Alliance Rare Species Protection Act, Chapter 3, Article 21, illegal harm or imprisonment of Alliance Tier 1 protected species in the Second World shall be punished with imprisonment of up to three years or detention, permanent account suspension, filing, and fines, depending on the severity of the circumstances.

Due to the timely intervention of law enforcement personnel, the attempted assault was thwarted, and the subsequent attack on law enforcement personnel led to the obstruction of official duties, punishable by imprisonment of up to three years, detention, or fines, pursuant to Article 277 of the Alliance Criminal Code.

Excessive defense by law enforcement personnel, according to Alliance law, the Chief has immunity, and the law enforcement personnel will submit a written immunity application within ten days.

The inspection team will review the room’s video footage, and player Yang Yun’s accomplices will be treated as co-defendants.”

The inspection team quickly took control of the scene, putting electronic collars on the hyenas and taking them away. Bo Ge’s vision gradually cleared, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Amber and the concerned faces of others.

But where was the big cat?

Bo Ge looked around, pushing through the crowd until he finally saw the man standing on the other side, next to the inspectors, reviewing the video together.

Several inspectors were tense, their eyes fixed on the screen, their hands that were extracting crime segments were trembling slightly.

Breaking through the crowd, Gugu couldn’t wait to run up to the big cat, but before she got close, she was blocked by several inspectors.

“The Vice-Stabilizer and inspectors are reviewing and analyzing the case, please do not disturb.”

The inspector’s voice successfully caught their attention inside. Seeing the big cat turn around, Gugu waved happily at him.

Lie Beishuang whispered to the inspectors and then strode over.

The inspectors blocking Bo Ge quickly moved aside. Bo Ge took out a disinfectant wipe he had just bought from the mall, pulled up the big cat’s beautiful hand, and carefully wiped it in his palm.

“Gugu!” Amber watched everything before her, her breath almost stopping.

The hyena just touched the Vice-Stabilizer’s hand lightly and was lifted and had its neck twisted. Where did the teenager get the courage to dare such a thing!

“Gugu, come over here!” Amber felt like she was suffocating, afraid that the hand the teenager was currently wiping might suddenly grasp the teenager’s fragile neck.

This was a simulation space with a realism level of 80%. The eyes of the hyena being twisted to death, its struggling limbs, kept replaying in Amber’s mind.

What the Star Network said about this man isn’t baseless. The madness, the bloodlust, it’s all becoming apparent!

Hearing Amber’s voice, Bo Ge turned and gave her a bright smile. “Sister, we’re all safe now.” Thanks to my big cat, he’s the best!

Amber rolled her eyes and almost fainted.

Slime quickly steadied Amber. “Don’t worry, Vice-Captain. He’s human, the Vice-Stabilizer won’t harm a human.”

“Have you not seen the videos on the Star Network?” Sasha, with braided hair, crouched quietly beside Slime and Amber, peeking at the tall man. “The Vice-Stabilizer doesn’t buy into human flattery. Even when humans try to appease him for free, he ignores them, very arrogant and eccentric.”

“Gugu, come over here.” Amber was on the verge of tears like an anxious mother.

“Just a moment.” Bo Ge held the big cat’s hand, making sure to clean the spot where it had touched the hyena before letting go.

Lie Beishuang held the teenager’s hand, his golden-red eyes filled with obscure emotions.

“They are my friends,” Bo Ge whispered to the big cat, “They’ve all helped me, especially Sister Amber. She even sold me a great house at a low price. She’s been bullied by a scumbag, and I need to go comfort her.”

Quietly lifting his eyes, Bo Ge glanced at the charming fox, realizing she wasn’t quite the teenager’s type.

“Go quickly and return quickly. I need your help. Tell me who the hyenas’ accomplices are.” Lie Bei shuang released the teenager’s hand, stooping down with a gentle and deep voice.

“No problem.” Bo Ge gestured and happily ran to Amber’s side. “Sister Amber, the Vice-Stabilizer will stand up for you, for us, and ensure justice!”

Amber couldn’t even look at the man opposite, not just from instinctive fear but also from the intimidating gaze of those golden-red eyes.

“Come over here.” Amber pulled Bo Ge into the crowd, her voice trembling. “Why did you just go over like that? Do you know who he is?”

“I know, he’s the Vice-Stabilizer.” Bo Ge scratched his head in confusion. “He just saved me. Sister Amber, why are you trembling? Are you cold?”

“You silly child.” Amber looked at Gugu’s fearless and clear eyes, not knowing what to say.

“That hyena just touched his hand and had its neck twisted. Although he’s a beastman, he’s different from others. He’s not as friendly to humans!” The girl with braided hair reminded Gugu beside her. “It’s best not to get close to him. You never know when he might lose control and grab your neck!”

Bo Ge saw the strange looks from the people around and sensed something.

It was like having a big leopard as a pet. Everyone says leopards are dangerous, capable of killing you in one bite. But only Gugu knew that this leopard’s personality was actually very good, even gentle.

“You misunderstand him.” Bo Ge argued for his big cat. “He looks good, and he’s got a good personality. He won’t grab my neck.”

The onlookers stared at the teenager in disbelief.

“Human, listen to me.” Slime moved closer, cautiously observing the situation outside. “The Vice-Stabilizer just saved you, we all saw it. But that doesn’t mean anything. He’s just doing his duty. Any inspector would have intervened in that situation. Don’t be fooled by him. You don’t understand the real him.”

“It’s you who don’t understand the real him.” Bo Ge straightened his chest, quickly squeezed out of the crowd, and ran to the big cat, reaching out. “I’ll assist you.”

Lie Beishuang glanced silently at the worried crowd opposite, then took the teenager to the video screen.

The video was long. One of the inspectors brought an intelligent chair, and Lie Bei Shuang naturally sat on it, holding the teenager and putting them on his lap.

There was a collective gasp in the room. Even the inspectors, who were as steady as Mount Tai, couldn’t help but widen their eyes.

“Chief, should I bring another intelligent chair?” The inspector who brought the chair felt like his brain was short-circuiting.

Lie Beishuang glanced faintly at the inspector.

Seems like his brain really isn’t working.

“This man.” Bo Ge sat on the big cat’s lap, pointing to Ye Heng who appeared on the screen. “He’s a hyena’s accomplice! He’s the hyena’s brother-in-law, the mastermind!”

The inspectors quickly took note, unintentionally casting a glance at the teenager.

Bo Ge noticed the strange looks from everyone but didn’t feel pressured. These people probably hadn’t seen a big cat turned into a cat blanket; that was even more comfortable than sitting on a big cat’s lap!

Under everyone’s gaze, Lie Beishuang wrapped his arm around the teenager’s waist, drawing closer, and could even see the fluffy top of the teenager’s head by lowering his head.

The angle of the intelligent chair shifted slightly, and Amber could clearly see the teenager placed on the big cat’s lap, watching the video attentively, pointing out the accomplices, unaware of occasionally lowering his head to nuzzle the big cat.

But Amber and Slime’s group saw it all, even feeling like the intelligent chair was positioned just right for them to see everything clearly.

What was this? Asserting dominance or flaunting favoritism toward humans?

“My little Gugu, he knows nothing.” Amber looked sad, feeling like she had lost a precious cabbage to a smelly cat.

“This is too abnormal.” Sasha twirled her finger around a braid. “How could the Vice-Stabilizer suddenly be interested in humans?”

Amber lifted her head from her sorrow, sensing something was off.

“Yeah, how could this be a coincidence? The Second World is so vast, how could the Vice-Stabilizer suddenly notice this room and happen to save Gugu?” Slime shook her body. “I have a feeling, it seems like these two already know each other.”

“It’s him who put Gugu on his lap,” Amber frowned. “Could it be… he’s interested in Gugu?”

“But that’s too far-fetched,” Sasha frowned. “The age gap between them is too big. Is he robbing the cradle?”

“Maybe Gugu has confidence in himself,” Amber pursed her lips. “It could be the young calf going after the old grass.”

Slime and Sasha looked at Amber simultaneously, their expressions strange.
