The Paranoid Villains Have a Crush on Me - Chapter 73
This night was eerily quiet.
Ning Xingzhou was lying on the soft bed that he had not seen for a long time, with an indescribable feeling in his heart. After experiencing the life of sleeping in the wind for several months, it is like a dream to return to normal again.
There are many delicious snacks, soft and comfortable beds, independent shower rooms, and even stand-alone games that are almost out of print in the apocalypse. If you can live in such a place for a long time, it should be very comfortable.
If he hadn’t received the system’s prompt message that day, he should have enjoyed a few days without any psychological pressure.
But now, not at all. Can’t even sleep at all.
The system’s prompts were still echoing in his ears, and the image given by Wutong made him feel uneasy, and Li Yuan’s abnormal attitude also made him uneasy.
Especially the “Fire Man” who was too similar to Li Yuan, made him feel inexplicably familiar and terrifying. Ever since he came to this world, there has been a strangeness everywhere, a system that is disconnected from time to time, a plot line that has no reference value at all, and a role that has no progress.
However, in the face of all this, he doesn’t seem to be able to do anything. He knew too little and his ability was too weak, and this feeling of powerlessness became more and more profound as time went on.
For example, now, he knew what Li Yuan was trying to do behind his back, but he couldn’t stop it.
“Su… Lord Host! The mission is completed, I… we can leave.” Just when Ning Xingzhou felt extremely uncomfortable, the long-lost reminder sound from the system suddenly sounded. The soft and cute voice was the same as always, but for some reason, it sounded a little guilty.
It was the first time that Ning Xingzhou didn’t feel the slightest surprise when he heard the system’s voice.
For a moment, Ning Xingzhou seemed to have figured out something. With the degree of Li Yuan sticking to him, how could he not stay by his side at night, a rare good excuse, how could he not sleep with him.
Such deliberate avoidance and leaving him alone in the room is like deliberately giving him a chance to… leave.
The system that had been out of contact for a long time suddenly appeared, but it was not as panicked as the last reminder of Calamity. If there was nothing in it, Ning Xingzhou would not believe it.
“Why, you asked me to run away in a hurry last time, why not this time? The probation point has been stagnant for so long, and suddenly it’s finished? Who are you fooling?”
Ning Xingzhou is usually gentle, but at this moment, he is a little anxious and his tone has become quite unkind, “You explain to me, what is the so-called disaster consciousness? Why should I run away?”
“Su… Lord Host, it’s not… uh…” Ning Xingzhou was fierce for the first time in the system, and it got stuck for a while, and it was not easy to speak. Of course, there was another reason that it was difficult for Ning Xingzhou to answer these questions.
“There are too many questions all at once, and I can’t make them up, right? Then I’ll ask a question. The mission suddenly ended. Is it related to Li Yuan?” Ning Xingzhou asked with a cold face.
There was a moment of hesitation in the system, and a faint mechanical stuttering could be heard, “Hmm… no, Su… Master host, don’t think too much, it was… um… simple virus invasion, probation. The value evaluation system is broken. Now it has been repaired, the host should leave as soon as possible to avoid further failures~”
“Oh, is that so?” Ning Xingzhou sneered, suddenly realizing that he was too stupid. He had heard this kind of sound similar to mechanical freezes more than once, but he always thought it was an illusion before, but now that he thinks about it, it’s like human beings always make inadvertent little movements when they lie. Whenever this sound appears, the system… …is just lying.
At first, he was just a little skeptical. After all, it is such an outrageous thing for the task object to be able to connect with the system. But now, the system’s reaction convinced him that such an outrageous thing really happened.
“Since that’s the 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 eyebrows and a surprisingly calm tone.
“Eh? Did you make the host angry by saying something wrong? Woohoo, I’m sorry, don’t think about it, the host. If you don’t go now, it’s very likely that you won’t be able to leave… Uuu can’t…” The soft and cute loli sound sounded anxious, although leaving now is equivalent to giving up all previous efforts, but that is better than dying.
Seeing that Ning Xingzhou was in such a hurry, he felt more at ease. He guessed right, as long as he did not agree to leave, the system would not be able to forcibly recall him.
His memory of the first two worlds is not clear, only vague impressions, but he vaguely remembers that when he leaves after the task is completed, he chooses himself.
That being the case, the choice is still in his own hands.
After realizing this fact, Ning Xingzhou breathed a sigh of relief, the anxiety that had nowhere to be relieved, and his tone softened, “I have to let me know what happened, so I can judge what to do next, right?”
“Well…but…but…there are several prohibitions in my settings, one of which is that the identity information of the host cannot be disclosed…” The system felt aggrieved, and it also wanted to tell the truth to the host. But there are layers upon layers of restrictions, and it can’t do it.
“Then, give me the memory of the previous mission world first.” Ning Xingzhou closed his eyes and said calmly.
Before, in order to be able to devote himself to the current task world, he took the initiative to ask the system to seal his memory. But now, there is too much unknown information, but instead, it is constrained. Thinking about the original choice, it is really shooting yourself in the foot.
“Well… this is still ok.” 229 thought for a while, turned into a green light, and got into Ning Xingzhou’s eyebrows.
All of a sudden, too much information entered his head, Ning Xingzhou groaned and sat on the bedside for a while before he recovered.
Every mission world is completely different, everything around is changing, the only constant… is A Yuan. How could he be so stupid back then, to believe the system’s nonsense, what kind of task object’s appearance is generated according to the host’s aesthetics, to deceive children?
The weird thing is, I really believed it at the beginning. Ning Xingzhou pursed his lips, feeling a little regretful. Back then, he believed in the system so much that he never thought that the system would lie to him.
“229, I remember you said that I came to the mission world to save people and to save myself. Is this true?” Ning Xingzhou sighed and asked in a low voice.
“Of course! If it is successful, the host can save many, many people.” Speaking of this, 229 seemed a little excited, and wished to tell it with all his 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 forced him to call A Yuan.
“Hmm… yes.” 229 pondered for a moment and replied affirmatively. When Ning Xingzhou entered Sikongyuan’s spiritual world, the purpose was to save many, many people, and the way to achieve this was to save Sikongyuan.
“Then what will happen to A Yuan if I leave now?” Ning Xingzhou was still in a heavy heart after receiving a positive answer, and his frowning brows did not stretch at all.
“No…I don’t know…” 229 replied weakly, his voice sounded extremely guilty.
Not long ago, it had just reached a consensus with Sikongyuan to send Ning Xingzhou back to the real world. Thanks to the help of Sikong Yuan, it was able to stay safe and sound under the strong intervention of Calamity Consciousness.
As for who would win between Sikongyuan and Calamity after Ning Xingzhou left, it was impossible to determine at all. But what it can be sure of is that if Ning Xingzhou is involved, his consciousness is likely to be completely eroded.
After all, this is Sikongyuan’s world of consciousness, a battlefield that belongs to Sikongyuan’s human consciousness and disaster consciousness. Ning Xingzhou’s spiritual body is at the top level among human beings, but in the face of disasters, it is still not enough.
After all, its authority was completely granted by Ning Xingzhou, but after the disaster consciousness awakened, its permission to leave was completely blocked. Fortunately, Sikong Yuan’s human consciousness was completely awakened, and his permission to leave was only briefly opened.
If he didn’t leave now, if Sikongyuan couldn’t stand it any longer, Ning Xingzhou’s consciousness might be completely trapped here. In that case, the real Ning Xingzhou would really be dead.
“I understand.” Ning Xingzhou closed his eyes and calmed down. When he opened his eyes again, his eyes flickered with unprecedented determination, “I won’t leave until I confirm that A Yuan is safe.”
What saves many, many people, and he is not the savior of the world, 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 was still trying to persuade, but was interrupted by Ning Xingzhou.
“That guy who is very similar to A Yuan should be… the so-called disaster, right?” Ning Xingzhou raised his hand and touched the flame mark between his foreheads and muttered in a low voice.
Obviously it is a question sentence, but the words are already determined. He was not stupid at all, but when he was with Li Yuan, his IQ would always drop. Now that there is no Li Yuan to confuse people, many things become clear after careful consideration.
Fortunately, he was worried that it would irritate Li Yuan again, and he never dared to mention the disaster again. In the end, it turned out that he 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, it was not a violation. However, why the smart host can’t figure it out, should they go now?
The early awakening of the disaster consciousness is doomed that Ning Xingzhou’s action deviates seriously from the expected situation. In such a situation, the best thing to do is to protect yourself, not as it is now – so emotional.
“What’s smart, it should be too stupid.” Ning Xingzhou smiled and shook his head, mocking himself.
There was something wrong with Li Yuan’s performance, but he didn’t realize it until now. Even if Li Yuan and 229 united to send him back, it was out of the idea of protecting him, he couldn’t accept it at all.
He made a decision for him without authorization, but never asked if he would like it or not.
A little **** off.
