Help, I've become a paper man

After receiving the reply, Song Yi did not delay too much and started his return journey. It was inevitable that this was an easier journey than before for him to take the same route again.

In addition, the system had been out of touch for a long time, and now that they were able to communicate, it could be considered a long-awaited reunion. They began chatting, talking as they walked.

Song Yi first asked: "How can you speak now?"

"The item you carry can block most of the power of Purgatory."

Song Yi thought for a moment and said jokingly, "I understand. The existence of Purgatory is equivalent to a virus. Wherever it invades, it will affect your operation."

When he said it, he made a simple guess that most likely the system had read the message and did not reply, and a small part of it might be a "perfunctory response". The result was unexpected.

The system not only responded, but also readily agreed, and further explained:

"It's not just my authority. To be precise, after it descended, it occupied our space."

Song Yi commented: "You are very good at talking now, but please hold back for now. There is no benefit in trying to build a relationship with me. You should look for Yan Changyue."

"He won't believe me."

Noah's Ark's answer was calm, which was beyond Song Yi's expectation. He actually expressed two meanings in one sentence.

First, the existence of the system is not, as it expresses, limited to players and denies human contact.

Secondly, this thing has bad intentions. It is not just a simple "contact" with Yan Changyue, but has sufficient knowledge about her.

Song Yi responded with a smile and fell into another stage. He no longer cooperated in the conversation, but began to wait.

He believed that the other party would give an explanation, and as expected, after a few seconds, the voice of Noah's Ark sounded.

"Powerful humans, close to Stardust's parents, once they have contact, even if it is a brief contact when establishing a contract, they can easily be caught."

"The most extreme ones will leave traces on it and try again and again to establish contact with us."

"For example, the experiment with the goat. The new contract applied to you is one of the results of the experiment."

Song Yi wanted to ask, that's the goat's father, why did it become a goat at this point? But before he opened his mouth, a more important question came up first.

"Yan Changyue was also with you. Did she leave any traces?" he asked.

Noah's Ark gave a positive answer, and the air became a little quiet. They continued to move forward towards the camp. Soon, Song Yi would be able to return home.

The system suddenly spoke and asked, "What do you want to tell Yan Changyue?"

Song Yi replied: "Please, I'm in love, of course I'll tell you everything."

There was silence for a few seconds, and then the system spoke again, saying, "You better be kidding."

Song Yi laughed out loud. Even if it was originally a joke, now that things have come to this, he will bite the bullet and continue:

"How could that be? Don't underestimate the love brain."

The system stopped talking. Half an hour later, Song Yi returned to the camp. As soon as he approached, he immediately attracted attention. Someone left early and reported the situation to the higher-ups.

Song Yi's journey was shorter than everyone imagined, but it did not affect the treatment he deserved.

With everyone's help, he turned around and headed for the meeting room. Under everyone's gaze, he began to present the results of his exploration of the outside world during his "scout" life.

Song Yi didn't bring back much information, which focused on the mumbling he heard after he approached Purgatory, and the problems that occurred in the system during his attempts to resist.

He told everyone the words of the "snake" and Noah's Ark in the form of "guesses".

And at the end, he picked up the task panel and shared the task "Cleaning up Purgatory", allowing everyone in the meeting room to choose to accept or reject it.

At the same time, everyone's expression was different, from expectation, to frozen expression, and then to thoughtful.

In the end, two leaders stood up for Song Yi and openly expressed their trust in him, which led to the votes for Song Yi.

Song Yi did not delay. Seeing the development of the situation and the album of speculation, he sent out the drawings for everyone's reference and discussion.

Whether it was the words on the picture or the meaning behind it, it instantly caught everyone's attention, and everyone stopped dwelling on the task name and moved on to the next topic.

Song Yi breathed a sigh of relief. While everyone was discussing, he wanted to sneak down, but he didn't expect that he was caught by Zhao Xian after taking only two steps.

Friendship is friendship, and work is work. This person was merciless and asked directly about the details.

It's about the system.

Song Yi said: "In Purgatory, the use of the system will be restricted. They are like opposing lineups, and the system is a little weaker."

"It is more sophisticated," someone retorted.

Song Yi nodded perfunctorily and tried to find an excuse to escape from the misery again, but the situation changed. Everyone stopped attacking him and started to think along his lines during the argument.

Gradually, the voices of flattery became one, chirping:

"That's right. With the inferno coming, the system is indeed unusable."

"Right, I thought it was an illusion, thinking about my own problems, and almost continued to convince myself."

"Hahaha, you guys are idiots. It never works in Purgatory. It's obviously Purgatory's problem."

"Forget it, let's not talk about the past. Just a while ago, you encountered something like this and you cried to me."

"I almost thought that the difficulty had increased, so I cut off half of the assist."

The voices of the crowd mixed together. Song Yi stood on the high platform and looked down at them.

Looking at the lips opening and closing, for a moment he was in a trance and almost thought he was dreaming, and returned to the ocean of dreams.

And he was being carried forward by the stardust.

Yan Changyue clapped her hands, reminding everyone to pay attention and focus on the drawings.

Everyone came over and started discussing the paper. The content became more and more professional, and Song Yi began to not understand.

He doesn't want quiet either. He is simply uneducated and simply "inappropriate".

Song Yi had a lot of things to ask Yan Changyue after the trip, but he kept his mouth shut in public.

Now everyone has accepted it well. Not only do they believe in the relationship between the "system" and "purgatory", but they also let it go and brush aside the current situation.

The goal is to first adapt to the harsh nature, find a way to survive, and then further create advantages in battle.

To put it bluntly, they are still competing with Purgatory for territory, and there is a cleanup plan behind it.

They said "it's for the living space of mankind", and the topic became more and more sharp. Even if you didn't understand, you could taste the madness from their wild faces.

Song Yi took a breath, moved towards the door, and gradually left the center position.

"Don't underestimate the love brain."

The system's voice rang out, and Song Yi's expression froze. He listened to everyone chatting and ignored Noah's Ark.

"Of course I'll tell you everything."

The system reminded again that this was pointing fingers at Song Yi's behavior, obviously reminding him that not all had been said.

But he is no longer the same person as before. He will not be so foolish as to confess everything. He clearly realizes that there are always some things that should be avoided.

He answered in his mind: "Come on, stop pretending, Noah's Ark, don't worry, anyway, according to the original inference, your world is going to end."

"Let's try for a while longer. Maybe we can find a solution before Sui Yuesheng does."

The system was silent for a few seconds, and then replied:

"It's our world."

Song Yi had nothing to say, so he simply read the message without replying and continued to listen to everyone's discussion.
