… The young man thought that he must look very stupid now.
He tried hard to move the corners of his stiff lips, but obviously failed. This made him look like a thousand-year-old zombie, with a very strange expression.
The conflict that Yuan Yuxue caused him was too great, like a violent firework exploding in his mind, making him dizzy and dazed.
He paused for a long while before asking in confusion -
"W-why would you want to do this?"
Yuan Yuxue: “?”
He tilted his head, and this action made him look indescribably cute, which was quite suitable for his current age.
The young man continued to speak dizzily, his tone slightly stuttering. He couldn't help but press his forehead to suppress the blue veins that were about to pop out. "You are, you are making an enemy of all the players—no, that's not the point."
"You are making an enemy of the copy."
He said dryly, "This is the task prompt given to us by the system. You may not want to sacrifice these people... these NPCs, but this is also a helpless move. Only their blood can quell this disaster. You know what? This has nothing to do with us players. Our task is just to survive, follow the rules, and complete the task—"
When he mentioned the words "complete the mission", Yuan Yuxue's eyes flickered slightly, and he was obviously a little guilty. However, he turned his head slightly, still with that cold expression, and the person in front of him didn't notice anything wrong.
The next second, Yuan Yuxue spoke righteously.
"That's not a mission."
"I don't recognize the legitimacy of a mission that is premised on inducing the killing of so many people. So I don't think that's a mission," he said.
Although she considered it to be a damaged defective product and it was normal for it to have some malfunctions, Yuan Yuxue still had her own logic and rationalized her behavior this time.
"The system must have been invaded by a virus, which caused such a wrong instruction." Yuan Yuxue tilted her head slightly, "Before receiving the correct mission order, I must carefully follow the initial mission instructions and basic rules."
Protecting the citizens of City A was Yuan Yuxue's initial mission instruction. So even if they were human players, if they did something that obviously endangered the public—such as destroying the defense shield, deliberately opening the shelter, and leading the monsters in—then Yuan Yuxue would have listed them as high-risk candidates for the Red Celebrity List.
No longer an object of protection, but an enemy.
The young man was slightly stunned, and was obviously confused by Yuan Yuxue's logic. He even had some thoughts of smiling bitterly in his spare time.
What is this? Even if it is an order given to him by the copy system, as long as he does not agree with it, he will not do it
This player is too willful.
But while secretly criticizing the other party's willfulness, he had a very subtle feeling in his heart.
This feeling was not very comfortable. Because in comparison, the selfishness and cold-bloodedness in his behavior stood out like a drop of blood in the snow. It was hard to be discovered, but once noticed, it was hard to ignore. Even his wrist holding the energy gun felt a little numb.
