Siheyuan: Sap is the last word

"Wait! I still have a lot of things to do, I can't die!" He Yudong wanted to get up and chase him, but found that he couldn't move at all.

"It's useless. Your life span is over and no one can save you." The old lady's voice gradually faded away outside the door.

He Yudong closed his eyes in despair. Was he really going to die? He was unwilling to accept this! He hadn't married yet, and he hadn't lived a good life yet. He couldn't just die in obscurity like this!

At this moment, a cold mechanical voice sounded in his mind: "Ding! The host's life is detected to be in danger, and the system is binding..."

System? What system? A glimmer of hope ignited in He Yudong's heart. Could he still be saved?

The black mist was like a living thing, carrying a disgusting stench, and quickly spread to everyone. The panicked people tried to avoid it and fled in all directions. Yi Zhonghai was so frightened by this sudden change that he sat on the ground, trembling and pointing at Jia Dongxu, unable to even utter a complete sentence.

"Silly Zhu! Hurry! Stop him!" An old man pointed at Jia Dongxu and shouted at He Yuzhu who was still in a daze.

He Yuzhu finally reacted, picked up a bamboo pole used for drying clothes in the yard, and rushed over, shouting, "Jia Dongxu! Are you fucking crazy!"

Before he finished speaking, He Yuzhu had already rushed in front of Jia Dongxu, swung the bamboo pole and hit him. But before the bamboo pole touched Jia Dongxu, it was bounced back by the black mist, and the huge force made He Yuzhu's palm numb, and he retreated repeatedly.

"This...what the hell is this?" He Yuzhu looked at everything in front of him in horror, and cold sweat instantly soaked his back.

Jia Dongxu was wrapped in black fog, and his expression could not be seen clearly. All he could hear was a creepy sneer coming out of his mouth: "Hehehehe... He Yuzhu, do you think you can stop me just by yourself? Wishful thinking!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jia Dongxu suddenly threw Jia Zhang's body towards He Yuzhu, and took the opportunity to transform himself into a black shadow and attacked He Yuzhu from behind.

He Yuzhu was unable to dodge and was hit by Jia Zhang's body. Immediately, a stench of corpse hit his nose, which made his stomach churn and he almost vomited on the spot.

"System! System! What's going on?!" He Yuzhu anxiously called out to the system in his heart.

"Ding! Abnormal energy fluctuations detected around the host, currently being analyzed..."

"Analysis, damn it! It's already this late, and you're still analyzing! Find a solution quickly!" He Yuzhu roared in his heart.

"Ding! Analysis completed! Abnormal energy source: unknown. Danger level: extremely dangerous. Host recommended: stay away as soon as possible!"

"Stay away? That's easy to say! I'm fucking entangled with this thing now, how can I stay away from it?!" He Yuzhu was in tears.

At this time, Jia Dongxu had already circled behind He Yuzhu, and the black mist formed a huge palm, which brought with it a sharp gust of wind and slapped towards He Yuzhu's back.

At the critical moment, He Yuzhu suddenly had an idea in his mind and remembered that the random skill rewarded by the system had not been used yet.

"System! Quick! Use random skills!" He Yuzhu roared in his heart.

"Ding! Randomly extracting skills..."

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the skill: Light Footsteps!"

In an instant, He Yuzhu felt a new information in his mind, which was the practice method of "Lingbo Weibu". Without thinking too much, He Yuzhu relied on his instinct to circulate the energy in his body according to the information in his mind. His body moved sideways several meters like a ghost, and barely avoided the fatal blow.

"Hmm?" Jia Dongxu let out a light exclamation, seeming a little surprised that He Yuzhu was able to dodge his attack.

He Yuzhu stood firm, looking at Jia Dongxu in front of him, secretly shocked. This "Lingbo Weibu" was indeed magical, and it actually allowed him to dodge this strange attack.

"Jia Dongxu! What exactly do you want to do?" He Yuzhu asked while staring at Jia Dongxu vigilantly.

"Hehehe...what do I want to do? I want you...to be buried with my mother!" Jia Dongxu's voice sounded as if it came from the Netherworld, eerie and terrifying, making people shudder.

"You beat your mother to death yourself, what does it have to do with me?!" He Yuzhu said angrily.

"No! It's all your fault! You killed my mom! It's you!" Jia Dongxu rushed towards He Yuzhu, screaming like crazy...

The black mist rushed into Jia Dongxu's seven orifices like a living thing. His body swelled at a speed visible to the naked eye. His skin turned purple and his eyeballs bulged out as if he would explode at any time.

"Silly Zhu, run!"

Someone in the crowd shouted, and everyone suddenly woke up as if from a dream, screaming and running away in all directions.

He Yudong also wanted to run, but his legs seemed to be filled with lead and he could not move. He could only watch Jia Dongxu approaching step by step, with a look of despair on his face.

"It's over..."

Just when He Yudong thought he was dead, a cold mechanical voice suddenly sounded in his mind:

"Ding! The host has been detected to be in extreme danger, and the system has been automatically activated!"

"System binding...binding successful!"

"Congratulations to the host for receiving a novice gift pack. Do you want to open it?"

The sound of the system was like the sound of nature, which rekindled He Yudong's hope.

"Open it, open it quickly!" He Yudong said without hesitation.

"Ding! The novice gift package was opened successfully. Congratulations to the host for receiving the following rewards:"

"1. Skill: Flash Step (Entry Level)"

"2. Item: a brick (upgradeable)"

"3. Attribute points: 10 points (free allocation)"

As soon as the system's voice fell, He Yudong felt a powerful force surging into his body, and his originally stiff limbs became flexible.

At the same time, a red brick appeared out of thin air in his hand. The brick was emitting a faint golden light and looked very extraordinary.

"It's now!"

A gleam of light flashed in He Yudong's eyes. His mind moved and his body disappeared from the spot in an instant.

"Shunpo!"

The next moment, He Yudong appeared behind Jia Dongxu. He raised the brick in his hand high and hit Jia Dongxu's back of the head hard.

"boom!"

With a muffled sound, Jia Dongxu's body shook violently, the red light in his eyes disappeared instantly, and his huge body fell to the ground with a bang, stirring up a cloud of dust.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully killing Jia Dongxu who was possessed by an evil spirit, and gaining 100 experience points!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the hidden mission: Kill the evil spirit and get a special reward: a random draw!"

The system's prompt sounds rang one after another, but He Yudong didn't bother to pay attention. He looked at Jia Dongxu's body on the ground, his heart filled with shock and confusion.

Possessed by evil spirits?

What exactly is going on?

Before He Yudong could figure it out, the scene around him suddenly changed. The originally noisy courtyard disappeared, replaced by a vast white space.

"here it is......"

He Yudong looked around in confusion, not knowing what was going on.

"Welcome to the system space."

A cold mechanical voice sounded in He Yudong's ears, "I am system number 001, and I am happy to serve you."

"System space?" He Yudong frowned slightly, "What is this place?"

"The system space is a space independent of the real world. Here, you can perform various operations, such as checking personal attributes, learning skills, exchanging items, etc." System No. 001 explained.

"Then how can I return to the real world?" He Yudong asked.

"When you complete the tasks issued by the system, you can return to the real world."

"Mission?" He Yudong was stunned for a moment, "What mission?"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for triggering the main quest: Becoming the strongest person in the courtyard!"

"Mission Objective:"

“1. Obtain approval from all residents.”

"2. Become the manager of the courtyard."

"3...."

Before System 001 could finish, He Yudong couldn't help but interrupt, "Wait, becoming the strongest person in the courtyard? What kind of bullshit mission is that?"

"You want me, a young man in the 21st century, to engage in intrigue with a bunch of petty citizens. Are you sure you're not kidding me?"

He Yudong was speechless. He originally thought that traveling to this era was outrageous enough, but he didn't expect that there were even more outrageous things waiting for him.

"Host, please do not question the system's decision." System 001's voice was still cold and ruthless. "If you refuse to complete the task, you will be punished by the system."

"Punishment?" He Yudong raised his eyebrows, "What punishment?"

"Erase."

The black fog spread rapidly, as if it had life, swallowing up everything around it. The crowd panicked, screaming and running away, but found that no matter how they ran, they could not escape this strange black fog.

He Yudong's heart was filled with alarm. He knew that this black fog was definitely not simple. He quickly took out a piece of talisman paper from his pocket, muttered something, and was about to activate it, but found that his body was like being filled with lead and could not move.

"Damn it! What the hell is this thing!" He Yudong cursed inwardly and struggled desperately, but to no avail.

The black fog became thicker and thicker, completely enveloping He Yudong. He felt his consciousness gradually blurring, and everything in front of him became distorted. Faintly, he seemed to see a pair of blood-red eyes, flashing a strange light in the black fog.

"Hehe... Hehe..." Jia Dongxu's eerie and terrifying laughter echoed in He Yudong's ears, like the devil's sound from hell, making him shudder.

......

When He Yudong woke up again, he found himself in a completely unfamiliar place.

This is a small, dark room with mottled walls and a musty smell. There is only an old wooden bed and a rickety table in the room, with a dim oil lamp on it, barely illuminating the room.

He Yudong struggled to get up from the bed, looked around, and frowned.

"Where is this? Why am I here?"

He tried hard to recall what had happened before, but found his memory was blank. He only remembered that he was swallowed by a black mist and then lost consciousness.
