Woke Up to Find the Game I Made Came True

Chapter 136

Seeing the familiar bald man by the spaceship, Ye Bai was momentarily stunned before her thoughts raced. The suspicions she had harbored were now fully confirmed.

Black Hole had targeted her—it was indeed connected to the former Macul Group!

But… what was the deal with this Luo Jin before her?

Ye Bai was absolutely certain that the bald man from Macul had died right in front of her, killed by Silienna. With the Stellar Alliance handling the aftermath, there was no chance he had survived or left any traces.

So, ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????what was the relationship between this identical bald ‘Luo Jin’ and the one from Macul? Twins? A clone? Or perhaps a member of some psychic-linked species? Countless theories flashed through Ye Bai’s mind.

The information about her ‘unique spiritual form’ must have been relayed to Black Hole through the deceased Macul Group member, somehow tipping off the mastermind and prompting the costly bounty on her head.

Hidden behind cover, Ye Bai observed quietly. Luo Jin stood dutifully by the ship, not sending further messages or pressing for updates—proof of Black Hole’s ironclad control over his subordinates.

This unexpected discovery left Ye Bai rooted in thought.

Originally, she had planned to exploit Black Hole’s identity, swindling resources from his underling Luo Jin before cutting ties and laying low in the chaotic star sector—like the five million base shields and this very ship.

But that plan carried risks. Once Luo Jin realized the ‘Black Hole’ at the base relay station was a fraud, future investigations would have to proceed ‘from the outside in.’ Now, however, Ye Bai had a chance to operate ‘from the inside out’—by impersonating Black Hole in front of his loyal subordinate.

Of course, this required a solid contingency plan and an exit strategy if exposed.

Ye Bai’s unique talents, [Appraisal] and [Insight], allowed her to perceive others’ spiritual forms with unmatched clarity. Those at or below her mental level were effectively ‘invisible’ to her.

Conversely, most psychics couldn’t gauge another’s strength outside combat.

Back in the Macul Group, even as a mere D-class psychic, Ye Bai had ‘seen’ the spiritual form of Silienna, a B-class, without detection. It was only her unusual glance at ‘Luo Jin’ that had drawn attention.

Now, the spiritual form of this Luo Jin lay bare before her—a diamond-like structure, unlike the ‘eye’ shape she’d witnessed on Macul. This Luo Jin might not share his predecessor’s abilities.

More crucially, Ye Bai was no longer a D-class. She had reached B-class herself, wielding the versatile power of time manipulation.

In the end, she made her choice.

Adopting Black Hole’s guise and carrying a compact backpack, Ye Bai strode toward the ship.

Her newfound strength had shifted her mindset. Excessive caution had failed her before—Black Hole had still tracked her via the exchange zone’s locator. Sometimes, risk brought reward.

…

“Boss.”

The moment Luo Jin spotted Ye Bai, he stepped forward, bowing slightly in deference.

Perfectly mimicking Black Hole’s appearance and voice, Ye Bai maintained a cold, stern expression. Without sparing him a glance, she ordered, “Board the ship. We leave immediately.”

Where ‘immediately’ meant, she had no idea. But given how Black Hole had hunted her down after Macul, Luo Jin likely knew his master’s hideout.

As she spoke, Ye Bai tensed internally, ready to fight if he sensed deception.

Fortunately, her gamble paid off. Interpreting her grave tone, Luo Jin stiffened. “Understood!”

The ship’s hatch hissed open.

Ye Bai marched inside without hesitation, Luo Jin close behind.

Click.

Channeling every ounce of acting skill, she took the central seat at the rear and casually tossed her backpack aside—filled with nutrient packs and meds purchased earlier.

Luo Jin’s gaze lingered on the bag, confusion flickering across his face as he paused mid-step.

As Ye Bai knew, Black Hole was an A-class powerhouse whose spatial manipulation left no need for luggage. Even after his petrified demise, only a specialized terminal remained.

A carrying bag was… unusual.

Just as Luo Jin’s suspicion peaked, Ye Bai—eyes shut—spoke slowly. “I’m injured.”

“Boss—!” Luo Jin’s pupils dilated. Suddenly, everything made sense.

No wonder he came to the relay station without warning, demanded a job transfer, and now this rushed departure… Even the bag fits—his injuries must be severe enough to disrupt spatial abilities!

His expression darkened with concern. For Black Hole to be wounded… what kind of enemy could do that?

Mind whirling with assumptions, Luo Jin hurriedly activated the ship, speeding away from the station.

Seated calmly yet poised to strike, Ye Bai finally exhaled inwardly in relief.

…

The spacecraft Luo Jin brought was several tiers faster than the one Ye Bai had previously taken with the Red Peak Team, and it was exceptionally stable. The difference was palpable during curvature engine jumps.

The terminal of Black Hole contained a star map of the Chaotic Star Sea, though it was unclear when it had been recorded. Only rough outlines were visible, with no detailed information on every planet.

Even so, just from a planar perspective, the Chaotic Star Sea had at least tens of millions of stars—let alone the fact that the starfield was a three-dimensional space, multiplying that number exponentially. The scale of the Chaotic Star Sea likely rivaled that of the Milky Way Star Cluster.

As Luo Jin piloted the ship into the boundless depths of space, Ye Bai kept track of time. Nearly six days passed before they arrived at a seemingly unremarkable, uninhabited minor planet.

While the ship was still descending, Ye Bai extended her psychic senses, using her "mental vision" to scout the planet ahead of time.

Now that she had advanced to B-rank, her psychic abilities—both in range and strength—had improved drastically compared to before. Even before the ship fully landed, she confirmed her gamble had paid off: Black Hole’s hidden lair was indeed here, and there was no one else present.

Perhaps it was because A-rank psychics had minimal material needs and didn’t require a retinue of subordinates who might expose their location. The planet itself was uninhabitable—without specialized equipment, it would be nearly impossible for psychics below B-rank to survive here.

Given Black Hole’s cautious nature—even keeping his location hidden from someone as trusted as Luo Jin—Ye Bai had predicted this scenario.

Now, even if she were accidentally exposed, she only had to deal with Luo Jin alone.

As she pondered, the ship touched down on the minor planet.

"Boss, we’re here."

Ye Bai opened her eyes at Luo Jin’s words, grabbed her backpack, and stepped out of the ship, with Luo Jin following closely behind.

Noticing that Luo Jin seemed to intentionally lag a step behind, Ye Bai’s eyes flickered slightly. Was that deliberate, or accidental?

Still, she didn’t hesitate. She strode across the barren ground until she stopped at a spot that looked no different from the rest.

During her earlier psychic sweep, she had detected something unusual beneath this exact location—a distinct energy fluctuation.

Without revealing anything, she disabled the signal shielding on her personal terminal and connected to the local network.

[Identity Verification Protocol: Personal Terminal Verification…]

[Personal Terminal Verification: Approved]

Ye Bai’s brows had just relaxed when another signal came through.

[Identity Verification Protocol: Psychic Verification. Please release psychic energy…]

There was even a psychic verification?

Her expression tightened. Her attention shifted subtly toward Luo Jin, who stood not far away. A quiet sigh escaped her. After all this, Black Hole’s caution had been both a boon and now a hurdle.

With one last barrier in place, she wondered—could she force her way in without triggering a self-destruct? Would the data inside be wiped if she tried?

Meanwhile, Luo Jin, seeing Ye Bai standing before the "gate" yet making no move to open it, froze in place. The unease he had suppressed earlier surged back, and this time, clear suspicion flashed across his face.

On the desolate, uninhabited planet, the atmosphere grew tense.

Less than ten meters apart, Ye Bai—still in her unshaped, adaptive state—suddenly moved.

A ripple of psychic energy emanated from her. Luo Jin tensed, his diamond-shaped psychic form flaring to life, faintly materializing into a crystalline apparition.

At the same time, chains of psychic energy extended from Ye Bai’s form—

[Psychic Verification: Approved]

The ground near Ye Bai’s feet distorted, and a concealed door rose from the surface, sliding open.

"…" That actually worked?

Ye Bai’s pupils constricted in shock. She had only intended to mimic Black Hole’s attack patterns to distract Luo Jin before striking—she hadn’t expected to bypass the verification entirely.

After all, this was a skill she had acquired through disintegration and reabsorption, stored and replicated with her own psychic signature. Yet the system had recognized it as Black Hole’s?

By then, the psychic chains she had unleashed were already converging toward Luo Jin, weaving into a net that enveloped him.

Wait… maybe silencing him wasn’t necessary anymore?

In that split second, Ye Bai seized the initiative. She whirled around, her gaze sharp as a blade, and confronted the bald man first:

"Luo Jin, what are you trying to do?"
