This night, it was unbelievably quiet.
Ning Xingzhou lay on the long-lost soft bed, feeling an indescribable feeling in his heart. After experiencing the life of eating and sleeping for several months, returning to normal again is like a dream.
There are many delicious snacks, soft and comfortable big beds, separate shower rooms, and even almost out-of-print stand-alone games in the last days. It should be very pleasant to live in such a place for a long time.
If he hadn't received the prompt message from the system that day, he should have enjoyed a few days without any psychological pressure.
But now, not at all. Couldn't even sleep at all.
The prompts from the system still echoed in his ears, and the image given by Wutong made him even more uneasy, and Li Yuan's abnormal attitude also made him uneasy.
Especially the "Fire Man" who was too similar to Li Yuan, which gave him an inexplicably familiar and terrifying feeling. Ever since I came to this world, there are weirdness everywhere, the disconnected system from time to time, the plot line with no reference value at all, and the influence value with no progress, all of which show that this world is unusual.
However, in the face of all this, he seems to be unable to do anything. He knew too little and was too weak, and this feeling of powerlessness deepened over time.
For example, now, he clearly knows what Li Yuan is trying to do behind his back, but he can't stop it.
"Su...Master Host! The task is complete, I...we can leave." Just when Ning Xingzhou was feeling extremely uncomfortable, the system's long-lost notification sound suddenly sounded. That soft and cute voice was the same as before, but for some reason, it sounded a little guilty.
For the first time, Ning Xingzhou wasn't surprised when he heard the system's voice.
For a moment, Ning Xingzhou seemed to have figured out something. With the degree of Li Yuan's cling to him, how could it be possible not to stay by his side at night, this rare good excuse, how could it be possible not to sleep with him.
Such a deliberate avoidance, leaving him alone in the room, was like deliberately giving him a... chance to leave.
The system that had been out of touch for a long time suddenly appeared, but he was not as panicked as he was when he was reminded of a disaster last time. If there was nothing in it, Ning Xingzhou would not believe it.
"Why, last time you hurriedly asked me to escape, why are you not in a hurry this time? The influence value has been stagnant for so long, and suddenly it is said that it is completed? Who are you fooling?"
Ning Xingzhou is usually gentle, but now he is a little anxious, and his tone has become quite unfriendly, "You can explain to me, what is the so-called disaster awareness? Why should I run away?"
"Su...Master Host, it's not...uh..." The system was attacked by Ning Xingzhou for the first time, and it got stuck for a while, and it was difficult to speak. Of course, another reason was that it was difficult to answer the questions Ning Xingzhou asked.
"There are too many questions at once, so I can't make them up, right? Then I'll ask a question. The sudden end of the mission has something to do with Li Yuan?" Ning Xingzhou asked with a cold face.
The system hesitated for a moment, and a mechanical stutter could be vaguely heard, "Uh...no, Mr. Host, don't think too much, it was just... um... a simple virus invasion, and the influence value evaluation system collapsed." It’s broken. It’s been repaired now, the host had better leave as soon as possible, so as not to malfunction again~”
"Oh, is that so?" Ning Xingzhou sneered, suddenly realizing how stupid he was. He has heard this sound similar to mechanical stuttering more than once. He always thought it was an illusion before, but now that he thinks about it, it's like human beings always have small inadvertent movements when lying. Whenever this sound appears, the system... Just lying.
At first, he was only a little skeptical. After all, it is an outrageous thing that the task object can be connected with the system. But now, the system's reaction convinced him that such an outrageous thing actually happened.
"In that case... I won't leave." Ning Xingzhou's mood gradually calmed down. He looked at the little turtle in front of him, with a smile on his brows and eyes, and his tone was surprisingly calm.
"Eh? Did Wo say the wrong thing and made the host angry? Oh, I'm sorry, the host, don't let it go, if you don't leave now, you probably won't be able to leave... Wuwu can't..." Ruan Meng The loli voice sounded terribly anxious. Although leaving now would mean giving up all previous efforts, it was better than dying.
Seeing that it was in such a hurry, Ning Xingzhou felt more at ease. He guessed right, as long as he didn't agree to leave, the system couldn't force him to recall him.
His memory of the first two worlds is not clear, only a vague impression, but he vaguely remembers that when to leave after the mission is completed, it is his own choice.
That being the case, the right to choose is still in his own hands.
After realizing this fact, Ning Xingzhou heaved a sigh of relief. The sense of anxiety that he had nowhere to dispose of had subsided a lot, and his tone eased, "I have to let me know what happened so that I can judge what to do next, right?"
"Well... but... but... there are several prohibitions in my settings, one of which is that the host's identity information cannot be disclosed..." The system feels wronged, and it also wants to tell the truth to the host, but there are layers of restrictions Put it there, it can't do it.
"Then, give me back the memory of the previous mission world first." Ning Xingzhou closed his eyes and said calmly.
In order to be able to devote himself to the current mission world, he took the initiative to ask the system to seal his memory. But now, there is too much unknown information, but hands are tied, thinking about the choice at the beginning, it is really shooting yourself in the foot.
"Well... this is still possible." 229 thought for a while, and then turned into a green light, which penetrated into Ning Xingzhou's eyebrows.
Too much information came into his head at once, Ning Xingzhou let out a low moan, and sat on the edge of the bed for a while before recovering.
Every mission world is completely different, everything around is changing, but the only constant... is A Yuan. How could he be so stupid back then, to believe the system's nonsense, that the appearance of the task object was generated according to the aesthetics of the host, to lie to the child
The ridiculous thing is that I really believed it at the beginning. Ning Xingzhou curled his lips, a little regretful, because he believed in the system too much at the beginning, he never thought that the system would lie to him.
"229, I remember you said that I came to the mission world to save others and myself. Is this true?" Ning Xingzhou sighed and asked in a low voice.
"Of course! If it succeeds, the host can save many, many people." Speaking of this, 229 seemed a little excited, wishing to talk about it with teeth and claws.
"..." Ning Xingzhou was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect to get such an answer, "Actually, what I want to ask is, is it A Yuan who I want to save?"
In the past two days, Li Yuan has always been forcing him to call him A Yuan, and he called it a lot, and unexpectedly he said it smoothly.
"Well... yes." 229 pondered for a moment, and replied affirmatively. When Ning Xingzhou entered Sikong Yuan's spiritual world back then, his purpose was to save many, many people, and the way to achieve this was to save Sikong Yuan.
"Then if I leave now, what will happen to Ah Yuan?" After receiving an affirmative answer, Ning Xingzhou still felt heavy, and his frowning brows did not relax at all.
"No... I don't know..." 229 replied weakly, sounding extremely guilty.
Not long ago, it reached a consensus with Sikong Yuan to send Ning Xingzhou back to the real world. Thanks to Sikong Yuan's help, it was able to survive the strong intervention of the disaster consciousness.
As for who will win after Ning Xingzhou leaves, Sikong Yuan or Calamity, it is impossible to determine. But what it can be sure of is that if Ning Xingzhou participates in it, his consciousness is likely to be completely eroded.
After all, this is Sikong Yuan's world of consciousness, a battlefield that belongs to Sikong Yuan's human consciousness and disaster consciousness. Ning Xingzhou's spiritual body is at the top level among human beings, but it is still not enough in the face of disaster.
After all, its authority was completely granted by Ning Xingzhou, but after the consciousness of disaster awakened, its authority to leave was completely blocked. Fortunately, Sikong Yuan's human consciousness was also completely awakened, and his permission to leave was only briefly opened.
If you don't leave now, if Sikong Yuan can't stand it anymore, Ning Xingzhou's consciousness may be completely trapped here. If that was the case, Ning Xingzhou would really be dead in reality.
"I understand." Ning Xingzhou closed his eyes and settled his mind. When he opened his eyes again, his eyes flickered with unprecedented firmness, "I will not leave until I confirm that A Yuan is safe."
What saved many, many people, he is not the savior, what does those people have to do with him...
He doesn't know what kind of person he is in reality, he only knows that if he chooses to leave now, he will regret it.
"But...but..." 229 wanted to persuade him, but was interrupted by Ning Xingzhou.
"That guy who looks very similar to Ah Yuan should... be the so-called calamity, right?" Ning Xingzhou raised his hand to touch the flame mark on his forehead, and murmured in a low voice.
It is clearly a question sentence, but the words are already certain. He wasn't stupid at all, but when he was with Li Yuan, his IQ would always drop. Now that Li Yuan is not around to confuse the audience, many things will become clear after careful consideration.
Fortunately, he was still worried about provoking Li Yuan again, so he never dared to mention the disaster, but in the end, he was the one who was kept in the dark.
"Hey, the host is so smart." 229 praised sincerely. This was guessed by the host himself. It didn't say anything, so it wasn't a violation. However, why can't the smart host figure it out, should they leave now
The early awakening of disaster consciousness meant that Ning Xingzhou's actions were seriously deviated from the expected situation. Under such circumstances, protecting oneself is the most important thing to do, instead of being so emotional as it is now.
"It's not smart, it should be too stupid." Ning Xingzhou smiled and shook his head, laughing at himself.
There was something wrong with Mingming Li Yuan's performance everywhere, and he realized it only now. Even if Li Yuan and 229 teamed up to send him back out of the idea of protecting him, he couldn't accept it at all.
Arbitrarily made a decision for him, but never asked if he was willing or not.
A little angry.
