Chapter 171 System vs. System (XXI)
Seeing who was behind him, Chi Xiaochi drowsily clutched Wen Yujing’s white dress in his arms with his left hand and spoke with difficulty, “Knock me out and take me away!”
Ye Jiming also saw the difference in his condition and, without asking, struck Chi Xiaochi on the back of the neck with the sheath of his Xuanjin sword against his hand.
Chi Xiaochi felt a numbness in the back of his neck and was about to fall forward when a hand caught his right hand, pulled it back and spun around to meet his back.
With the unconscious man on his back, Ye Jiming grabbed Duan Shujue’s wrists around his chest with one hand, holding his sword in one hand, and made great strides back the way he had come.
But before he could get more than a few steps away, he felt a thick white mist spray over the back of his head.
He turned around abruptly, black snake scales in the shape of a swastika emerging from his face, his golden pupils flashing with a stern light: “How dare you!”
The pandemonium in front of us is like a cloud, and we can’t see what’s in the room, but the rustling of snakes is everywhere, giving you goosebumps.
”Oh? A young snake.” A disembodied and sinister female voice came out of the mist, making it hard to tell from which direction it was coming, “It’s been a long time since I’ve found such a delicious little dessert.”
Ye Jiming shouted, “Fuck you, go home and eat your own.”
The female voice was silent.
She didn’t expect that the food coming in would be well-dressed, and that they would all look like good young men.
She quickly came back to her senses and covered her mouth with a smile, “Aiya~ This is so rude of the young scholar, it really hurts my slave’s heart.”
Before the words were out of his mouth, three small venomous snakes flew from each of the three directions in the shadows, and without any further ado, they opened their mouths and spewed out several streams of transparent venom towards Duan Ye and the two of them.
A few drops of venom fell on him and burned him with a hiss, but did not hurt him a bit.
Ye Jiming’s tone cooled as he gritted his teeth and said, word for word, “My lord says, unbridled!”
A lavender poisonous mist rose up around him and quickly merged into the white mist.
The viper is a highly poisonous snake, and the three snakes that were foolish enough to resist the toxicity of the purple mist were killed on the spot and softened into three colourful ropes.
Ye Jiming was just about to leave when he felt the fishy heat around him intensify, and the earth shook faintly.
He was standing at the eye of a formation, watching vigilantly, when he suddenly felt something different under his feet.
Ye Jiming leaps to the ground on his toes.
His instincts were not bad at all. Just as his toes left the ground, a bloody snake’s mouth burst out from under the ground he had just stood on, and its body rose upright from the earth, three feet above the ground, and it had not yet reached its end!
…… That evil auger, surprisingly, kept swimming in the ground, quietly trailing them.
The huge mouth of the abyss was chasing Ye Jiming, and the venomous light from the snake’s teeth was clearly visible, just inches from his feet, intent on swallowing him alive!
Ye Jiming, unable to escape, cursed and turned to draw his sword to cut off the head of the dragon, but a shadow shifted in front of him and the snake transformed into a naked beauty, smiling sweetly at him.
She was fully expecting this man to be enchanted by her beauty.
A young and beautiful viper with a lot of blood in its veins, even if it is not used for food, it would be a good thing to keep as a face.
But Ye Jiming didn’t hesitate, his sword slashed straight down into the face of that beauty!
The sculptor was unprepared for the sword and took the sword with his face, but thanks to the hardness of his scales, his head was not split into a watermelon.
But she was still left with a bloody mark on her face.
The sword completely enraged the evil scaly dragon, and her whole body disappeared from the mud, transforming into a scaly dragon again, raising her tail and sweeping Ye Jiming’s waist with a strong wind!
With one hand protecting the unconscious Duan Shujue and the other attacking with the other, Ye Jiming was already struggling to do his best.
He hastily embraced Duan Shujue to his body and shielded his head.
And the next second, his body slammed hard into a tree, his blood churning and a mouthful of moist heat spurting straight out.
But he didn’t wander, moving nimbly, dodging and shifting, holding Duan Shujue face to face, jumping across the dead tree a few times and disappearing into the forest.
The evil scorpion reappears in human form, spitting out its forked, bright red letters and licking the blood from the corners of its lips before fading into the earth and disappearing into thin air.
The Valley of the Lost Butterflies was her territory, and she was confident that there was no way this little viper could escape.
He had to pay for that wound.
Ye Jiming leapt through the trees, blood spilling from his mouth and lips, but he was too busy trying to escape to follow the path he had come from.
His sense of smell was particularly sensitive and he had lived with Duan Shujue for so long that he knew that he had a distinctive and elegant scent of water, so he followed it all the way to his rescue.
Now after a lot of blind dancing he managed to get lost.
After escaping for some distance, Ye Jiming was too tired and sore to walk, so he put Duan Shujue down under a dead pine and rested for a while.
He gasped and leaned alongside him against the tree, wiping the blood from the corner of his lip, and said angrily, “Chi, you’re going to get me killed.”
The man’s eyes were closed and he did not move, his left hand still holding on to the white robe, which was stained with Ye Jiming’s blood and looked quite gruesome.
He didn’t say a word, which made Ye Jiming a little angry, but when he looked at that quiet, sleeping face, Ye Jiming softened his heart and muttered twice, resting his head against a tree, trying to rest his eyes for a while before running for his life.
Ye Jiming has lived a new life, and although he has changed the habit of playing fish for three days and sunbathing for two days, with his current cultivation level, he would undoubtedly be seeking his own death if he were to go head-to-head with that formed evil auger.
The thought of it made him anxious again.
If Duan Shujue could be alongside him, the two of them would be able to stack up and their chances of winning would go up.
But in this case, if Duan Shujue could not rise again, he would have to risk his life.
Ye Jiming was lost in thought when his left hand was suddenly gently gripped by someone.
Ye Jiming thought it was his own illusion, but when he looked down and saw that his left hand was indeed held in his right palm, his face darkened three times: “Chi, are you awake?”
The man beside him is silent, still with his eyes closed.
Ye Jiming rolled over and half-kneeled in front of him, sizing up his face: “Don’t tease me! Tell me clearly, Chi, what happened to Little Fish? Wen Yujing, where did he go?”
The man does not move.
Ye Jiming grew impatient and moved closer: “Can you hear me -”
Ye Jiming fell headlong into contact with his mouth and lips as his right hand grabbed him by the front collar and pulled him forward.
Ye Jiming’s body went completely rigid, his hands propped up next to Duan Shujue’s knees, his elbows trembling and his heart beating wildly.
By the time he reacted, he was ready to kill.
What’s wrong with this Ike–
However, in the next instant, something was ferried into his mouth.
As soon as the object entered his body, Ye Jiming felt a sense of relaxation and exhaustion, and his bloodline became twice as powerful, with his spiritual energy surging in an endless stream.
Ye Jiming separated himself from Duan Shujue in some distress, covered his mouth and quickly spat the object out.
Glistening in his palm is Duan Shujue’s shark dan.
The next moment he met a pair of eyes that were faintly blue in their blackness.
That gaze was calm, cool and gentle, the same eyes that Ye Jiming had dreamed of for so many years.
Pulling Ye Jiming close and kissing him seemed to take all his strength, and soon those eyes slowly closed and his hands slid helplessly down his front.
Ye Jiming grabbed Duan Shujue’s right hand, his lips numb and hot, the heat burning all the way to his cheeks, causing him to feel at a loss for words and a mixture of emotions.
He placed that hand against his forehead and called in a small whisper, “…… little fish.”
The shark dan is the life of a shark, and by giving it to himself, he is giving up his life.
And how could he let him down?
Ye Jiming simply placed a protective spell around Duan Shujue, then removed Duan Shujue’s belt, placed it over his eyes and ordered, “No peeking.”
And in the next moment, he took the shark dan in his mouth, swung up his black and gold longsword and plunged it into the earth without hesitation!
A woman’s shrill whistle comes out of the ground at first!
With the shark dan in his mouth, his spiritual aperture was wide open, and he knew that the evil augur had long since wandered into the mud beneath their feet, waiting for the right moment to strike.
This time, he wouldn’t let her get the upper hand again!
Ye Jiming shakes his body and transforms into his original form.
After more than a year of hard training, he was still the same petite vicious snake, looking into the wind and growing instantly into a three-foot black python, opening its mouth and letting out a long, earth-shaking whistle, then biting the body of the vicious jiao that had arched out of the ground due to pain and flinging her out of the ground alive!
Although he is still vicious, his body is surrounded by the aura of jiao, thanks to Duan Shujue’s cultivation.
Ye Jiming didn’t know how far Duan Shujue’s cultivation had reached, but he only knew that after he had entered the shark pellet, the power in his body tumbled up and down, and he was unable to suppress the evil dragon.
He refused to let go of this great opportunity and did not hesitate to lay his hands on the killer.
When snakes fight, they tend to start by spying in the dark, but once they strike, they are as explosive as thunder.
Ye Jiming turned the snake’s body, twisting and tangling it with the vicious auger in a circle, gradually becoming a stranded head!
The evil augur had been wounded by the sword and did not expect the young man, who had not yet become augur, to be able to do so.
The snake was protected by a shark’s elixir and was quite powerful. The vicious scorpion had wanted to take advantage of the situation, but had been defeated.
Even if she had a thousand reluctances, it was too late.
This evil augur, who had taken over the mountain and was a scourge on the area, was strangled to death by Ye Jiming, his bones being pulled loose in sections.
After she perished, the poisonous mist in Misty Butterfly Valley dissipated and the original Moyle Formation collapsed and was no longer effective.
When she died, Ye Jiming did not dare to relax, fearing that the evil jiao might be cunning and trying to get away with a fraudulent death; only when he was sure that the miasma had subsided and the formation was no more did he feel completely at ease. He then knelt down in front of him on one knee and picked up the upper half of Duan Shujue’s body, trying to return the shark dan to him.
The thought of what it felt like to have their lips touching just now made Ye Jiming’s heart grow fierce, and he wanted to do exactly what he had done, and return the shark-dan as it was.
In his impression, Duan Shujue was a standard gentleman, and he was afraid that he had no choice but to cross Dan with his mouth, if he kissed him back ……
When he thought of that gentleman’s blushing face after being fed the pills, Ye Jiming felt happy and his lips smiled.
He pulled Duan Shujue’s body over, biting into the shark’s jelly, and was about to touch his lips when he suddenly remembered that there was an unconscious Chi Xiaochi inside.
Ye Jiming immediately lost his excitement and took the shark’s pellet out of his mouth, wiped it with the hem of his coat and fed it to Duan Shujue in a disciplined manner.
But just as he was lowering his head to feed the dan, a human voice suddenly rang out, startling him with cold sweat plunging down his back: “Shu Jie? …… Who are you?”
Ye Jiming’s heart fluttered and he couldn’t help but follow the sound.
–He had forgotten that once the Mo Xie formation was withdrawn, the Valley of the Lost Butterflies would just be an ordinary valley!
Ren Tingfeng, Yan Jinhua, Su Yun, and many of his disciples had managed to rendezvous and were standing a short distance away, staring at him in surprise and wariness, with Duan Shujue, unconscious in his arms.
In a flash of light, Ye Jiming realised that something was wrong.
The snake scales had not yet faded from his face, his murderous intent had not yet dissipated, and his viper breath had not yet had time to be half restrained, and his cheeks were still stained with the blood spat out by the vicious augur when it suffocated.
…… Duan Shujue is still lying in his arms, his shark dan, just fed back by his own hands.
Yan Jinhua is hiding at the back of the crowd.
If the atmosphere hadn’t been a little tense, he would have laughed out loud with his palms.
It was only thanks to his deliberate lead that Ren Tingfeng and the others came across this wonderful scene.
His original plan had not worked out, but instead, by mistake, he had achieved an unexpectedly brilliant game.
Ye Jiming, with his arms tightly around Duan Shujue, made the most appropriate move of the moment in a few moments.
He surprised Duan Shujue with a palm strike to the ribs!
Duan Shujue rolled to the ground, a stream of blood gushing from his mouth, and looked badly injured, but Ye Jiming had a count on his hands that would not hurt his internal organs.
With that, he pretended that he had not succeeded in stealing the pills and fled with his sword.
Sure enough, several disciples were misled by his actions and only thought that Senior Duan had been injured by this evil thing and immediately went after it.
Ren Tingfeng, however, did not go after it.
He walked over to Duan Shujue, looked at his eyes, which were bound by his own belt, and took Wen Yujing’s bloodstained white robe from his hands, looking at it with a slightly cold expression.
”Third Uncle!”
As he mused, a disciple behind him called to him.
Ren Tingfeng turned his head and was about to ask what was wrong when he saw the disciple coming from the forest with Wen Yujing’s emerald-coloured carp umbrella in his hand.
The disciple was also quite disturbed by his discovery: “Third Senior Uncle, I found this in the forest and did not dare to make a judgment, so I sent it to Third Senior Brother for his inspection. Is this Younger Senior Uncle’s umbrella sword?”
Ren Tingfeng’s face grew sullen as he asked the disciples, “Have you seen your Uncle Wen all the way here?”
The disciples shook their heads and were filled with confusion.
Yan Jinhua picked the right moment and spoke up, “Third senior uncle, how could the disciples know? Younger Senior Uncle has always been with Senior Brother Duan, ah.”
Ren Tingfeng is silent for a long time with his hands in the air.
”Two men, take Duan Shujue back to Jing Xufeng and take good care of him, but don’t let him move around.” Soon, Ren Tingfeng settled down and calmly commanded, “The other disciples will stay behind and search the mountain. Wen is in the formation, how could he have disappeared into thin air?”
At this, Yan Jinhua smiles.
How does he not just disappear into thin air?
”Wen Yujing” has completely disappeared, it can’t come back, no one will cover Duan Shujue anymore.
And his disappearance will push Duan Shujue straight to the guillotine.
Duan Shujue Even if he had a mouth on his body, I’m afraid he wouldn’t be able to talk about it.
……
And while Yan Jinhua is controlling himself not to be overjoyed, within the system space of the Total System of Book Penetration, 061 is in full control.
For humanitarian reasons, the systems cannot take measures such as purging, formatting, or forced reading of information without the 061 resisting or refusing to account for its origins.
He was escorted into the interrogation room to await review and questioning by the system’s investigators.
Many systems had heard that an intruder had been arrested and was not bad looking, so they came to watch, and there was a lot of activity outside the interrogation room.
In a sea of dark blue system overalls, 061 in white and black trousers stands out.
And the strongly mobbed 061 is very quiet.
His hands were electronically shackled, his ankles were bound by a pair of heavy chains, and he wore a black data shock collar around his neck, and his face was set extraordinarily pale, but he did not look as if he were in any way alarmed, his hands resting regularly on his knees, looking at the system’s ten codes hanging on the wall, as if he were thinking about something, with an extraordinarily gentle look.
061 Faintly, I heard someone outside complimenting him on his good looks.
He chuckled softly, thinking of a problem that had nothing to do with his current situation.
Lord GOD Why did they shut down their self-awareness system for so long?
089, 023, all still have memories, and therefore do not need to look in the mirror to remember what they looked like before they were born.
However, after being formatted and losing his memories as a human being, 061 has already forgotten what he looks like.
As a result, before meeting Chi Xiaochi, he had lost the ability to perceive himself and his emotions, and lived a life so uneventful that he thought he was born with the same system as 009.
He wondered out loud, Lord GOD why he had to do this.
The noise outside dispersed in all directions with the arrival of the investigators.
Two systems, one male and one female, walk into the room and take a seat in front of 061.
They are not the least bit worried about any violent measures being taken by the system in front of them.
On the one hand, they had done a very good job of holding him captive, and on the other hand, before he was taken prisoner, 061 had been thoroughly checked by the system and all sharp objects had been removed from his body, even the buttons of his shirt containing copper.
As soon as the two systems were seated, 061 greeted them, “Hello.”
The man and woman who had come to interrogate him looked at each other.
061 The temperament is too soft and harmless to resemble the thug that the 199 host accused.
The man asked him, “Name, or number?”
061 replied truthfully, “Slag Attack Recovery System, 061, is on Worldline Mission 1329.”
The woman transmitted a letter of accusation of about 800 words to the public screen, pointing to Yan Jinhua’s bloody accusation on it, and asked in a businesslike manner, “Host 199 has made some accusations against you, do you admit them?”
061 A laugh was given.
The woman, of a serious disposition, said coldly, “Don’t be shady, answer the question, yes or no.”
”Quite a coincidence.” 061 Not paying any attention to the woman, he said, “I also have something that I want to show you.”
The two interrogators looked at each other again, and the woman frowned and tapped the desk, “Be honest. We are arresting you for questioning.”
061 With a slight bow, he said, “My sincerity is sufficient; after all, it is not you who have arrested me, but I have something to tell you, and that is why I have come here of my own accord.”
At this point, 061 pressed his handcuffed left hand to his chest, bent over in an extremely gentlemanly manner, and said sincerely, “Within my hard drive, I have a report of all allegations of irregularities in the operation of Host 199, and I have summarized the specifics in roughly 40,000 words for your acceptance.”
Two investigators: “……”
They were clearly unable to accept the fact that the “subject of the arrest” had become the “prosecution”.
And 061 remained calm and courteous: “I beg you to believe that I have come here, indeed, only to deliver your letter.”
