Let the system try to save the world

Gu Yugui looks only eight or nine years old now.

Xitong patted Gu Yugui's head with a hint of pride. God knows how annoyed he was with these overbearing protagonists who were often 1.80 or 1.90 meters tall. He had to raise his head to talk to them every day. Can't these authors write a protagonist who is 1.40 meters tall?

"Tell me, what did Meng Ruyan tell you?" Xitong asked.

"Meng Ruyan knew you would see his body, and he told me not to worry, he's not really dead." Little Gu Yugui still had baby fat on his face, and when he spoke, one could vaguely see the spirited young man's appearance, "If you do the right thing later, we will leave here together."

"That's right? What is the correct standard?" Xitong asked hurriedly.

"I can't say." Gu Yugui said helplessly.

"Are there any demons that can control people's language?" Xitong asked.

"No, you couldn't hear me even if I said it." Gu Yugui's mouth opened and closed. Xitong patted his ears, and indeed he couldn't hear a word.

Xitong felt a little frustrated. Almost all the plots he had obtained from the plot assistance system so far contained hidden messages. Was he really too harsh on those taskers and the system?

Nonsense.

Xitong slapped himself, and when he realized the problem, he began to wonder if the predicament was too difficult and he began to develop human bad habits.

The main system is invincible and victorious in every battle.

"How is my health now?" Gu Yugui asked.

"It's okay, your vital signs are stable. Your father is taking care of you." Xitong said, "Tell me in detail what happened after you came here."

“Before I passed out, I think I was in a coma,” Gu Yugui said uncertainly, “I only found a handful of broken pearls and a suspicious person in the aquarium’s theater pool.”

"After I chased him out, I found that he was gone." Gu Yugui said, "I stopped where I was for a while, and then I heard a voice like this..."

Gu Yugui clapped his empty palms, "It was that kind of footsteps, like the sound of someone just walking out of the bathroom in wet slippers after taking a shower."

"Footsteps..." Xitong pondered for a moment, "How much do you think that person weighs?"

"I'm not sure about that." Gu Yugui said, "But he sounds very light, so he is definitely not a fat or strong man."

"What I can be sure of is that the other person is not an omega or alpha." Gu Yugui shook his head, "Because that person doesn't have any pheromone smell at all."

"A well-trained beta?" Gu Yugui muttered, "That shouldn't be the case... My master said that most people can't beat me."

"Your master is just coaxing you." Xitong said casually.

It is so difficult to be a domineering CEO nowadays that Gu Yugui actually becomes an apprentice to learn fighting skills.

From their last experience of fighting with the Gu Diao on the rooftop, he could tell that Gu Yugui had at least learned alpine skiing and bungee jumping, which seemed to be the standard for modern domineering CEOs.

Gu Yugui was ultimately restricted by the fixed rules of this world. Xitong breathed a sigh of relief. There were more than just betas who didn't have the smell of pheromones.

"My master won't coax me." Gu Yugui muttered, and with his childish face, he looked very adorable.

Xitong thought about the people who might have attacked Gu Yugui, and he ruled out the mermaid first.

Because mermaids don't have feet at all.

Let's exclude Fan Che. Fan Che still looked like a monster with a human head the day before, but when Xitong saw him, he had turned into a giant who was three meters tall with uncoordinated limbs. Unless he learned to walk on stilts during this period, it would be impossible for him to knock down Gu Yugui so easily.

That's Ankang? Xitong shook her head. Ankang had not shown any offensive abilities except for her exquisite illusion. She even maintained the human form created by the illusion when facing Xitong, the enemy. Was there any reason why she couldn't show her true form?

What's more, Ankang looks like a weak woman, and Gu Yugui shouldn't avoid her.

There was another person. Xitong blinked. It was the mother the mermaid mentioned.

The "mother" was obviously a leader among the water monsters. When he took the mermaid away, his mother was obviously furious. She swept up most of Ningcheng's water supply. If the mermaid had not taken action to suppress the surging water volume in the end, Xitong had no doubt that she could have drowned all the people in Ningcheng.

But even in that situation, the mother did not show up. Xitong stroked her chin. Was there any reason why she couldn't show up?

"Tell me more about why you are here." Xitong looked around the little house, "Why do you live alone?"

"It's obvious." Gu Yugui spread his hands. Xitong saw some pride on his face. "I'm in solitary confinement."

"You seem very proud." Xitong asked, "What did you do?"

"Escape." Gu Yugui said confidently, "I violated the dean's rules and climbed to the top of the wall to see outside. This wall is much shorter than the one in my high school, and there are no steel spikes or electric fences."

"What's outside?" Xitong asked.

"..."Gu Yugui said.

"Okay, this is something I can't hear again." Xitong raised her hand to interrupt him, "I'll go and see it myself."

"Meng Ruyan told me your purpose." Gu Yugui said, "You want to find the 鵸鵸, right?"

"Looking for the Heihe... yes." Xitong said, "Your body has fallen into a deep sleep in the real world. The solution I thought of is to find the Heihe and eat your dream, which is this space, so that you will wake up naturally."

"This is not my dream." Gu Yugui said, "You have to be careful. If you treat this place as a dream, your subsequent choices will be very problematic."

"Huh, I get it." Xitong said, "But I haven't told Meng Ruyan that I'm looking for Yu Yu."

"You have reached a consensus, right?" Gu Yugui took out an iron spoon from under the bed in the confinement room and began to carve words on the wall. "Leave what you need to do."

"1. Find the 鵸鵌 2. Find the cause of Meng Ruyan's death." Gu Yugui squatted on the ground and carved hard for a long time, "Okay."

"Yeah." Xitong affirmed.

The clock in the corridor struck twice, and the doors in the corridor opened one by one. Xitong heard the sound of people coming down the stairs. Gu Yugui dropped the spoon in panic and said, "Hide quickly."

"What's wrong?" As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place. Xitong hid under the door panel as he was told. There was only a small window separated by iron bars on the door of the confinement room. There was not even a window. The situation inside could be seen at a glance.

"It's time for dinner. Someone will come to check the confinement room soon." Gu Yugui said.

Sure enough, not long after, a pair of footsteps gradually approached the confinement room. There might be some metal ornaments on his shoes or trouser legs, and Xitong could hear the sound of metal rubbing against the ground.

Xitong pressed his back against the door. He could almost hear the breathing of the person outside the door.

The breathing was steady, not at all like he had just climbed the stairs and walked to the end of a long corridor.

He is a martial artist, Xitong thought.

"Little Gu Yugui," the voice asked, "did you see anyone coming over here?"

"No, teacher." Gu Yugui stood there honestly with his hands behind his back.

"Is that so?" Xitong felt a layer of cold sweat on his back. His body reacted faster. He rolled on the ground and stood in the blind spot behind the door. "Why is the chain on the door broken?"

The next moment, the door of the confinement room was pushed open.

Xitong looked through the crack in the door and saw a long, reflective piece of iron held in the hand of the visitor.

It was a sword dripping with blood.
