Teleportations — I Wanna Be An Online Celebrity - Chapter 349
After coming out, they tried their best to walk towards the original route. Fortunately, they did not meet any system-assigned men on the quiet route.
They were originally very happy and thought that they could return safely and smoothly. However, they did not expect to meet a different system-assigned man on a street.
“All of you, stop! Be quiet and hide!”
After Tang Xia discovered the strangeness ahead, everyone stopped immediately.
If a system-assigned man was not disturbed, it was still possible for him to retreat quietly.
Everyone stopped moving after hearing what Tang Xia had said. Seeing this, Ye Yifan questioned Tang Xia, “What happened? Why did you suddenly stop walking? Shouldn’t we hurry back?”
…
Ye Yifan asked in a very low voice such that only two of them could hear. She pointed to the front, asking him to look.
“Look, there’s a system-assigned man over there who is left out. I’m thinking whether we should bypass him, or you can go and deal with him, and then we’ll walk away directly from the nearer path here?”
The rest of the people also seemed to have discovered that system-assigned man and they did not dare to make a sound for fear of provoking him.
In the face of such a situation, naturally, Ye Yifan would not dare to make a judgment casually. He was afraid that a mistake in his leadership would cause them to be attacked by that system-assigned man. Although there was only one system-assigned man, his power was probably not small.
“Let’s see what’s going on first. We can’t act rashly. We’re a group, not a single entity, so we can’t take risks.”
Ye Yifan replied to Tang Xia while thinking about this single system-assigned man. After thinking for a while, Tang Xia also hid with the others and did not take any action temporarily.
After observing for a while, Tang Xia kept on feeling that there was something wrong with that system-assigned man because other system-assigned men seemed to be very conscious and would wander around. Why did that system-assigned man seem like he did not have his own consciousness as if he was a zombie?
“Have you discovered that there’s something wrong with that person? Why do I feel like someone has sucked away his soul? It’s been so long already and not only did he not realize we are here, but he also did not move at all. He has no mechanism, which is different from other system-assigned men.”
Facing Ye Yifan, Tang Xia frowned and told him her doubts.
However, Ye Yifan refuted Tang Xia’s idea and told her all that he had found.
“I keep on feeling that he is not an ordinary system-assigned man. His eyes are not only filled with the mechanism of a system-assigned man, but he can also have human-like thoughts and consciousness.”
After Ye Yifan finished his sentence, Tang Xia observed that system-assigned man more carefully. Meanwhile, the others hid behind their backs. They did not dare to stick out their heads for fear that they would bring trouble for Ye Yifan and Tang Xia.
Realizing that this was not going to work out, Tang Xia decided to go and have a look herself.
“Okay, Ye Yifan, you and the rest wait for me here. If things are okay, you guys go back first. I’m going to find out why that system-assigned man is like this. I find him very strange as if there’s a secret hidden behind him.”
Hearing Tang Xia’s words, Ye Yifan frowned even more. He thought that she was crazy. Why would she have such an idea?
“Are you crazy? That’s impossible. The system-assigned men were always ruthless and aggressive to humans. If you stalk him, wouldn’t you be giving your life to him freely?”
Then, he pulled back Tang Xia who was in a position ready to leave. He definitely would not allow her to go alone.
When others heard that Tang Xia wanted to go and look at that system-assigned man alone, they were also worried and tried to persuade her.
“Let’s wait here for a while. If this system-assigned man leaves on his own, we’ll also leave by this road. Otherwise, we can take the risk of taking a longer way. You can’t take this risk.”Access vi pnovel.com
Tang Xia naturally understood that everyone was worried about her. However, she knew that she really wanted to investigate this system-assigned man. He was different from other system-assigned men. He seemed to have his own consciousness, and this was what attracted Tang Xia the most.
Tang Xia was hesitant for a while, but she still followed him eventually.
“No, I have to investigate this system-assigned man. I will have doubts in my heart If I don’t investigate him thoroughly. Maybe this is a clue, just that we haven’t found it before!”
Tang Xia’s tone was very firm and she had already gone out. Ye Yifan was unable to stop her, so he could only tell her not to go too far away.
Seeing that the delirious system-assigned man was getting closer and closer to her, Tang Xia was so happy that she thought she would definitely have a chance to catch up to him.
At this point, Tang Xia was only a few hundred meters away from Ye Yifan. She could still clearly see the actions of the group of people who were not far away, as well as that slightly-conscious system-assigned man. However, a group of mechanical system-assigned men suddenly appeared and chased after Tang Xia and the rest of them.
“Tang Xia, stop chasing after that system-assigned man. We can see him again if we have a chance, we’d better leave as soon as possible!”
Seeing the system-assigned men coming over, Ye Yifan quickly called Tang Xia back. Tang Xia was in a dilemma. She had already chased after that system-assigned man for a while now, but if she kept chasing after him, she would be in danger. Moreover, these emerging system-assigned men were still aimed at the crowd.
Seeing such a situation, Tang Xia knew that she could not take any more risks. So she shouted as she walked back, “Ok, you lead them to defend yourselves, I’ll come back now!” As she spoke, Tang Xia got closer to the crowd.
Tang Xia originally thought that they would also have a fierce battle with these system-assigned men. She did not expect them to take initiative to attack that slightly-conscious system-assigned man. Everyone had a close shave. It was just a false alarm.
“Tang Xia, come back quickly. He will attack us if we don’t go now. Think about what’s going to happen after this. We can’t spend too much time on them. Let’s leave quickly and stop wasting time!”
Ye Yifan was very anxious when he looked at Tang Xia for fear that she would not listen to him.
Hence, Ye Yifan kept shouting for Tang Xia to come back. He certainly could not rush out to get her back now.
If Tang Xia was alone, he would definitely go out and do that, but the problem was that they were in a group. He could not possibly leave them alone.
The crowd stopped making trouble for Tang Xia and Ye Yifan and no one dared to say things like they were not willing to take risks.
“Okay, Tang Xia, let’s go now. Leave that system-assigned man alone. We can’t waste our time here any longer. Otherwise, we will all be in danger. Besides, others are still waiting for us to go back.”
Ye Yifan reminded Tang Xia out of goodwill. After glancing at the crowd, Tang Xia decided to go back with them.
“Protect yourselves first. I’m coming!”
Tang Xia decided not to let them worry about her anymore. She knew that given their character, it was impossible for them not to worry about her.
The investigation of that system-assigned man had come to an end. If it were not for the sudden siege and obstruction by these system-assigned men, Tang Xia would definitely go up and find out what was going on.Access vi pnovel.com
There were still system-assigned men waiting for Tang Xia to deal with them. After that system-assigned man stopped Tang Xia’s group, these system-assigned men continued to wander around here. Hence, Tang Xia had no choice but to lead the crowd to go back to the castle.
“Open the door quickly, Tang Xia and the rest are back, let them in! It seems that they have brought back supplies! Hurry up, don’t look back. The system-assigned men are coming. Let them in first!”
When Tang Xia was still 100 meters away from the castle, she saw the sentinel shouting for the door to be opened.
Tang Xia also picked up speed and quickly ran into the castle with the crowd.
“Everyone, hurry up. The city gate is opening and we must enter it as soon as possible in case the system-assigned men appear and create new danger for everyone!”
Ye Yifan and Tang Xia took the lead and the crowd also ran into the castle as fast as they could. The distance between them was a few hundred meters, so they naturally could not lower their guards.
“Okay, we’ll speed up!”
It was as if everyone had been injected with energy. There was hope in front of them, so they naturally would not give up so easily. Their response back to Tang Xia and Ye Yifan was like a cheer for themselves.
Finally, everyone successfully gathered together after a false alarm.
“It’s great that you guys can come back. Are you guys alright?”
Looking at their travel-worn faces,Mu Chengxuan naturally knew that they had gone through great danger.
At this moment, Tang Xia was not in the mood to talk about this with them. Seeing that the group had collated all of the supplies on their own, she pulled Mu Chengxuan and Ye Yifan over.
“We met a non-mechanical system-assigned man on the way, but he seemed to have some human consciousness. If it weren’t for the obstruction of those system-assigned men who emerged suddenly, I would have run after him!”
Tang Xia pulled Ye Yifan and Mu Chengxuan to a corner and explained the situation to them while doing so. Ye Yifan and Mu Chengxuan both expressed that there must be a reason why this person had such a problem.
“My guts tell me that this system-assigned man surely has something to do with other system-assigned men’s attack. Otherwise, why was it so coincidental that his appearance led to their attack?”
Both Tang Xia and Ye Yifan thought that what Mu Chengxuan had said was reasonable, but they could not prove it. It was just an inference.
After listening to their inputs, Tang Xia put everything together carefully and deconstructed them one by one. Then, she seemed to have thought of something.
“Do you think that someone is controlling these system-assigned men to mass-kill streamers? Otherwise, how can they know all of our actions so clearly?”
After hearing Tang Xia’s words, Ye Yifan was still opposed.
“I don’t think you are right. These system-assigned men are like zombies. They have no intelligence but only mechanism. So, I think that this is just chaos caused by the system virus.”
However, Ye Yifan regretted it after he finished his words because after he thought about it carefully, it seemed that what Tang Xia had said was true.
Meanwhile, Mu Chengxuan remained silent and did not speak.
He tried to make an in-depth understanding of what he had heard and what Tang Xia had told him. However, his thoughts were different from Tang Xia’s. Then he thought about it silently at a side before he blurted out uncontrollably in a low voice, “Is Chu Tiankuo really not dead?”
