Chapter 1044: Chapter 1044: Side Story - Live Streaming World 13

According to the setup of this world, everyone can only remember their basic information, and whether they possess any skills, how they got here, what environment they once lived in, or whom they know, they have no idea.

In other words, the moment someone enters, the inspectors of this world place a memory barrier.

Bai Youwei was not affected, probably because of her identity as the King.

She pondered slowly: Strictly speaking, the Inspector and I should be considered as equals in "rank", and since we are on the same level, it of course cannot tamper with my memory.

But things looked grim for Shen Mo.

Shen Mo was a subject, and if he truly lost his memory, he probably wouldn’t come looking for her, and even if they met, he likely wouldn’t recognize her.

Bai Youwei furrowed her brows, feeling quite uneasy.

Over there, Yi Zichu had already prepared the fish, seasoning it with ginger and green onions, before moving on to handle the large shrimps in the bag.

Removing the shrimp whiskers, head spines, slicing the back, and deveining...

It was a strange feeling.

His movements were clumsy and unskilled, yet every step mysteriously surfaced in his mind automatically.

Yi Zichu paused for a moment and muttered to himself, "Maybe... I used to be an apprentice in a restaurant kitchen?"

"Who would want a 16-year-old apprentice?" scoffed Bai Youwei disdainfully.

Yi Zichu hurriedly said, "Many apprentices start at around fifteen or sixteen years old, initially just doing odd jobs, washing and picking vegetables, then they begin to practice their knife skills, helping to chop and prepare ingredients, learn to make marinades, arrange cold dishes, season, prepare hot and cold platters..."

As he spoke, he slowly stopped, realizing that the whole sequence of processes in a kitchen was becoming clearer in his mind.

Bai Youwei said, "Can’t you think of it in a positive way? Maybe you’re the heir of some great chef, and you accidentally ended up here before finishing your apprenticeship."

"It’s possible..." Yi Zichu smiled, bowing his head to continue working on the shrimp.

After a while, as he busied himself, he told Bai Youwei, "By the way, I encountered the police earlier outside. Since I had previously reported an incident, they came to inquire... But we don’t know the names or addresses of those thugs, and there are no surveillance cameras here, so even if the case is filed, it’s likely to end up unresolved."

Bai Youwei exclaimed in surprise, "Is the police here so negligent in their duties?"

"After all, it’s a live streaming world... There are broadcasters among the police too. To maintain their popularity, they focus their forces on serious crimes," Yi Zichu sighed lightly, sounding mature beyond his years, "Serial Sharkman, dismemberment cases, mysterious predator... Investigating such cases attracts more audience enthusiasm."

Bai Youwei nodded.

That’s true, compared to those sensational images, who would enjoy watching the police catching a few minor troublemakers?

Yi Zichu continued, "In this place, the more bustling and populous the area, the higher the crime rate. Everyone goes to great lengths to attract attention, which is why living here has its advantages—remote but also safer."

"Safe?" Bai Youwei ruthlessly exposed the truth, "If you report an incident, it takes half an hour for the police to arrive. If I were to kidnap you, no help could be found."

Yi Zichu: "..."

After hesitating for a moment, he mustered his courage: "Since you have been able to purchase so much food, you must have earned sufficient points. Could you... let us go? We can’t afford any ransom, nor do we have any capabilities... Kidnapping us brings no benefits to you, right?"

Bai Youwei: "I’m pleased to."

Yi Zichu again: "..."

Bai Youwei looked towards Youyou standing by, imperiously commanding her: "I see you can’t help much around here, go clean the rooms! I want a room for myself, a bunch of kids grinding their teeth or talking in their sleep at night makes it impossible for me to sleep!"

Youyou’s hands fidgeted nervously, she lowered her head to say "Oh," and quickly left.
