This system is outrageous.

Looking at the ever-changing firelight outside the window, Ye Fei suddenly had a strange idea.

I rummaged around on the bed for a while before finding my phone. I stood by the window and took a few photos, but I wasn't satisfied.

"What a pity! If a scene like this were filmed, it would definitely be a blockbuster movie."

"No, it's too dangerous." Ling Rui rejected Ye Fei's proposal without thinking.

Ye Fei curled her lips helplessly. Since she couldn't go out, she might as well look for stories on the Internet.

When Ye Fei logged into the Small World website, he was shocked by the overwhelming headlines.

"This little online world is so exaggerated, full of clickbait headlines."

"Is there anything you want to see?" Ling Rui sat opposite Ye Fei and seemed to be unconcerned about anything outside.

"It's a pity that they are all blurry pictures, there's not even a close-up video." Ye Fei turned off the Internet and sighed.

The fire in the distance had gradually faded, and the thick black smoke was also dissipating, but Changfeng and Shiyi had not returned. Ye Fei and Ling Rui had finished their lunch, and the sky outside the window still showed no signs of getting brighter. The phone's notification sounded, and the system prompted that the plot of the small world had been updated.

"Why was it updated? What exactly happened?" Ye Fei looked at the updated content and suddenly felt a little confused.

"They are testing changing the male lead but not changing the main storyline, so they can avoid system detection." Ling Rui's words answered Ye Fei's doubts.

"You mean they want to replace the main characters of the small world with people they want, or people of their choice."

Ling Rui nodded. "It may not be that simple. They may want to evade system monitoring by replacing characters, so as to achieve the ultimate goal of controlling the small world.

"It would be terrible if they really succeed." Ye Fei felt a chill down his spine when he thought of this.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little heavy, and Ye Fei stood up and walked to the window. The scarlet sky outside the window matched the plot that was happening at the moment, and everything seemed so weird.

"Senior, that mission ended with the small world collapsing and four people being seriously injured, right? We can win this time, right?"

Ling Rui came to Ye Fei and rubbed her head.

"Don't worry, history will not repeat itself."

Changfeng and Shiyi here have followed the clues to a base. They cracked the surveillance and database. Just as they were about to leave, they found a group of people coming towards them.

"Would you like to take a look?" Eleven asked tentatively.

Changfeng decisively chose to stay, and Shiyi followed obediently behind him.

Looking at the masks worn by the NPCs in the room, Eleven curled his lips in disgust.

"What kind of cult gathering style is this? Don't they think this mask is ugly?"

Changfeng glared at Eleven who wanted to continue complaining, and Eleven immediately shut up.

The NPC on the stage gave a passionate speech, winning warm cheers and applause from the audience. The NPCs dispersed and Eleven reached out to clean his ears.

"My ears are numb from hearing so much trash talk."

"At least it proves that the current situation was deliberately arranged by the crows. There is nothing useful here anymore. Let's go back first."

Eleven minutes before the two left, they updated the surveillance system again so that he could get first-hand information here at any time.

The two returned to the room and saw Ling Rui sitting on the sofa reading a book and Ye Fei browsing on her phone.

"Oh, you look so relaxed. Aren't you worried about us at all?"

Ye Fei stopped surfing the Internet and glanced sideways at Ling Rui.

"Is there anything to worry about? No."

Ling Rui nodded in agreement. "Don't worry at all."

Eleven sat aside without getting angry, and told the two of them about their discoveries of the day.

"So, there is no crow or sparrow leading the entire organization, and it all depends on the NPCs themselves?" Ling Rui obviously did not believe this conclusion.

"But a lot of plots have indeed been changed in the system." Ye Fei raised his eyebrows and looked up the system prompts again.

"We have investigated their base very closely and found no trace or scent of crows. Unless..."

"Unless they have just recruited a new person here." Ling Rui could only think of this possibility.

"Maybe they recruited a group of people." Eleven still felt disgusted when he thought of the mask party and couldn't help but curl his lips in disgust.

"So you followed them to their base, but still didn't bring back anything useful?"

Ling Rui looked back and forth at the two of them, his face full of disbelief.

"It can't be said that it's completely useless. At least we know that the crows are indeed secretly involved."

Ye Fei rolled her eyes and pulled out a picture on her phone.

"I want to know who were those people fighting all over the place. What was the situation and what was the outcome?"

Eleven seemed to have guessed that Ye Fei would want to see the scene, so he took out his cell phone and clicked on the video.

"See for yourself."

Ye Fei took the phone with doubt, and looked at the two figures with fire all over their bodies fighting on the screen. From the screen, it can be seen that the strength of the two sides is very different, one is unilaterally attacking, and the other is passively beaten.

"The person who was beaten was from another school. That school was mentioned in the plot, but not much."

"Why are they fighting? It can't be a private fight."

Eleven pressed the pause button and pointed at the figure who was in the upper hand. "He is one of the protagonists. I suspect that Crow is going to promote him to the male lead now. As for the original male lead, he was in the dormitory during the melee."

Ye Fei took out his cell phone doubtfully, and began to look for the legendary protagonists by comparing the characters.

"Is she the one in the story who became obsessed with practicing and had all her skills destroyed by the male protagonist?"

Eleven nodded in satisfaction and pointed his finger at another human figure.

"This person is the one who competes with the male protagonist for the goddess. His plot has increased the most after the update."

Ye Fei narrowed his eyes and looked at the blurry figure in the picture.

After comparing it with the plot, I finally knew who it was.

"So now should we protect the male protagonist from being replaced first, or investigate who the crow bribed first."

Ye Fei looked at Changfeng and saw him drinking tea leisurely.

"If they want to recreate what happened back then, then they must be trying to use the fight between the two schools to pick someone they like to replace the male lead."

Chang Feng took a deep breath, as if he had made a great decision. "Back then, we always thought that as long as we kept the male lead's position, the plot of the small world could be pulled back, but we didn't expect that it would be used by the supporting characters instead."

Ye Fei and Shiyi both stopped what they were doing and waited for Changfeng to continue telling the story.

"We have to pick someone out for them before he finds me."

Ye Fei looked at Ling Rui blankly. Ling Rui smiled slightly and said nothing.

"You mean, we help them secretly, help them choose a candidate, and lure them into the game."

Changfeng nodded. "This time we will control the direction of the plot and lead them all to expose themselves."

Ye Fei looked at the time and it was already evening. He then looked at the sky outside the window and saw that there was no difference between day and night.

"It's time for dinner. Let's go eat something and check the reactions of the NPCs."

Changfeng put down the teacup and took out a flyer from his pocket.

“This one looks good, but I don’t know if it’s still open.”

Ye Fei leaned over to take a look. It was a promotion for the food street. It said that it was the food street’s anniversary and would be open 24 hours a day this week.

"This is a fantasy novel world. With just this little commotion, it shouldn't be closed for business." Ye Fei took out his cell phone, accessed the small world's network and started searching for the food street in the advertisement, only to find that the food street was actually nearby.

Sticking out his tongue in embarrassment, Ye Fei slowly closed his eyes and began to load the nearby map.

Soon he sighed helplessly.

"I sensed that although the food court is still there, it is too close to the brawl ground, so I guess the businesses will not be open for business."

Although they said so, the four of them still came to the food street. There were almost no pedestrians along the way, and no shops were open for business.

This area seemed to have been closed off and had nothing to do with the bustling city.

Abandoning the food street, the four came to the busiest neighborhood, where the lights were bright and neon lights were flashing, as if the abnormality in the sky did not cause any major panic.

The roadside stalls were still busy and the four of them ate a lot along the way. A long line in front caught Ye Fei's attention.

"It seems to be very popular over there. Let's go line up and read them one by one, right?" Seeing Ye Fei's expectant face, the three of them had to compromise.
