Rebirth: I have Monopoly System

It was already five in the afternoon by the time he left Xu Chenxi’s rented apartment.

Sitting in the car, Wu Yun was lost in thought. ’For a preventable stampede like this, isn’t there something I can do?’

’After all, I’m a normal person. Knowing so many people will die, can I really just stand by and watch dozens of innocent bystanders get trampled to death?’

Wu Yun knew he wasn’t that cold-blooded.

At that moment, Wu Yun wished someone could give him advice on how to prevent the accident, or at least mitigate the damage.

’Contact the relevant authorities to warn them? Even if I did, they’d treat it as a joke and ignore it. "Our great Modu has held this New Year’s event so many times without a single incident! Are you trying to tell us how to do our jobs?"’

’Send people to intervene? The ones I send might get caught up in it themselves.’

Wu Yun didn’t come up with a good solution by the time he reached the Modu Drama Academy.

During dinner, Qi Fei noticed Wu Yun’s distracted air and knew at once that something was weighing on his mind. This was the first time she had ever seen him like this.

Usually, Wu Yun projected an image of confidence and decisiveness.

"Xiaoyunzi! What are you thinking about? Hurry up and eat! The food’s getting cold!" Qi Fei couldn’t help but say.

Wu Yun looked up and forced a smile. "It’s nothing. Just thinking about something. I’m still a bit undecided."

Qi Fei picked up a piece of boiled fish with her chopsticks and took a small bite. She then spat the clean-licked fish bones onto the paper mat on the table.

Once her mouth was clear of bones, Qi Fei spoke. "Is it about the company? Or something else? Tell me, I can help you think it through."

Wu Yun frowned. "I’m thinking about the New Year’s Eve celebration at the Bund."

Qi Fei looked surprised. "The New Year’s Eve at the Bund!? Xiaoyunzi, I was just about to ask you—since this will be our first New Year’s together, shouldn’t we go to the Bund and soak in the atmosphere?"

"The three of them and I were just talking today about whether we should all go to the Bund together. We didn’t get to go last year."

"Sigh..." Wu Yun let out a long sigh and said with a wry smile, "Qi Fei, let’s just watch the Bund celebration from home this time. I’ve been feeling uneasy lately, like something terrible is about to happen."

Qi Fei hadn’t expected Wu Yun to believe in such things. She laughed and said, "Xiaoyunzi, I never knew you were so superstitious!"

Wu Yun paused. ’She’s right,’ he thought. ’I’ve even been reincarnated! What’s so unbelievable about this?!’

"Qi Fei, tell me. If I knew in advance that something terrible was going to happen at the Bund on New Year’s Eve and wanted to warn the public, but I couldn’t explain how I knew, and I’d probably just be ridiculed... but if I don’t say anything, my conscience won’t be clear. What do you think? Should I do it?"

Qi Fei was baffled by his words. After a moment of contemplation, she smiled. "Xiaoyunzi, I think you should say it. Although I don’t know what you’ve discovered, I’ve always trusted you. Go ahead and do what you think is right. At the very least, I believe you. Like you said, the worst that can happen is you get ridiculed. It’s not like you’re a celebrity who needs to protect their public image."

Qi Fei’s tone shifted, and she asked curiously, "So tell me, what do you think is going to happen at the Bund?"

Wu Yun stuffed a large fish maw into his mouth, chewed it up in a few bites, and then said, "Because we were coming to Modu, last night I had a dream that you and I were at the Bund, waiting to ring in the New Year. But not far ahead of us, someone slipped and fell, triggering a chain reaction of people falling, which led to a mass stampede."

"In the dream, there was blood everywhere, bodies lying motionless on the ground... and people wailing and crying in pain!"

Hearing Wu Yun’s description, Qi Fei couldn’t help but shiver. She imagined the scene—no matter how strong Wu Yun was, he wouldn’t be able to withstand the force of a surging crowd.

In the face of disaster, everyone is equal. All the money in the world is just smoke in the wind.

Qi Fei didn’t think what Wu Yun described was impossible. After all, tens of thousands of people gathered at the Bund every year for the countdown. The smallest incident could be the spark that ignites a crowd event.

A sense of fear washed over Qi Fei. If some troublemaker wanted to cause chaos, they wouldn’t even need to do anything illegal. Just shouting "Run!" could cause a catastrophe due to mob mentality.

Although the possibility was remote, Qi Fei no longer had any desire to join the crowds.

A wise person avoids unnecessary risks. Since they had foreseen danger, Qi Fei felt it was best not to go. "Xiaoyunzi, I’ll message Qin Qin and the others right now and invite them to celebrate New Year’s at our place!"

Wu Yun just nodded silently, shoveling food into his mouth. He was in no mood to savor the delicious boiled fish Aunt Wang had made.

Soon, Qi Fei received replies in their group chat.

The idea of celebrating New Year’s Eve from a rich person’s perspective was a novel experience, so Song Qin and the others agreed immediately without asking for a reason.

Uncharacteristically, Wu Yun only ate one bowl of rice. So much so that when Aunt Wang came to clear the table, she asked, "Sir, was the food not to your liking today?"

Having made up his mind, Wu Yun smiled. "No, I just don’t have much of an appetite today. Your boiled fish was delicious as always, Aunt Wang."

"Very good, Sir. You go on with your business. I’ll take care of this."

...

"Xiaoyunzi, are you saying you’re going to post a video like last time?" Qi Fei asked, watching Wu Yun straighten his appearance.

Wu Yun nodded. "I’m going to post a video and @ the official authorities, and also urge everyone to be careful. A public warning, showing my face and using my real name—it’s the best method I can think of. The rest will be up to the power of the netizens."

"I’m hoping that someone who sees it will have a wake-up call. Sometimes, once you say something out loud, it loses its power and won’t happen. If that’s the case, I can handle getting flamed online for it."

Qi Fei deeply admired this socially responsible side of Wu Yun. Her beautiful eyes, filled with a mix of emotions, were fixed on him as he picked up his phone.

"Hello, everyone! Good evening! I’m Wu Yun, and this is the second time I’m filming a video showing my face and using my real name."

Wu Yun leaned back on the sofa, getting comfortable. "I had a nightmare recently about a stampede at the Bund. I’m someone who trusts my sixth sense, and I also believe in traditional culture like the Heavenly Stems, Earthly Branches, the Five Elements, and the Eight Trigrams. So I specifically checked the daily almanac for auspicious and inauspicious activities, and I found that both the 31st and January 1st of next year are ’inauspicious for gatherings.’"

"So, after thinking it over and combining it with my dream, even though I originally wanted to experience the New Year’s atmosphere in the Great Modu, I’ve now decided to stay home and watch all of you celebrate!"

"The real reason I’m saying all this is to remind everyone to be careful! I hope everything I’ve said turns out to be a joke. When the time comes, please go easy on me~"

In the video, just as Wu Yun was about to stop recording, he suddenly remembered something. "Oh, right! I’d like to take this chance to wish everyone a safe and peaceful New Year in advance!"

After he finished recording, Wu Yun hit "post" and tagged the Modu Public Security Bureau.
