On the Feasibility of Dueling with the System

---------------- Extra Story ------------------

Everyone in the world said that the underworld under the blue sky is the destination of the dead.But all creatures with souls, regardless of human demons, will eventually return to the underworld after death, cross the Wangchuan River, cross the Naihe Bridge, drink Meng Po soup, and then forget the past, reincarnate, and start a new life.

Mo Lin stood in front of the River of Forgetfulness, the torrential river separated the yin and yang, and the river on the other side was full of blood-red flowers.At the end of the Naihe Bridge, Meng Po scooped up bowls of Meng Po soup and handed it to the dead.

There is no time measurement in the underworld, and Mo Lin didn't know how long he waited, but Qin Zhan still didn't arrive.

He stared blankly at the way he came, expecting that the next soul would be a familiar face.

Suddenly, the sound of old cloth shoes rubbing against stone bricks became louder, coming from far and near.Mo Lin didn't look back, an old and kind old woman's voice sounded behind him, "Young man, what are you waiting for?"

"Wait someone."

"Who?"

"The one I love."

"Who is the person you love?"

"A snake demon."

"he died?"

"Yes."

Granny Meng shook her head, "Young man, old woman, I have been standing here for half a year, and I have never seen a ghost escort escorting a demon soul here. If he died at the same time as you, it is impossible for him not to come now."

Monsters don't die easily, even if they die, they will be taken away by other fairies and their souls will be scattered.For thousands of years, it can be said that there are very few demons who are willing to go to hell and reincarnate.

Mo Lin turned around, his pale face was full of bewilderment.

"You mean... I can't wait for him?"

"In the next life... I have already arranged everything, and we will be together in the next life."

"But why... I can't wait for him anymore?"

Mo Lin still had no expression on his face, but tears kept falling from his eyes, dripping on the stone steps and flowing into the boundless Wangchuan River.

Only then did Po Meng remember that there seemed to be a young son who had entered the underworld with a token before, and was even received by the King of Hades.

"Are you... Priest of Yu Kingdom?"

Mo Lin didn't speak, he turned around again, staring fixedly at the bronze gate leading to the underworld.

Granny Meng looked at him with compassion, "Young man, listen to what the old woman said. Even though you are a priest appointed by God and your soul is different from ordinary people, if you stay in the underworld for a long time, you will also be affected. You will gradually lose Wisdom becomes a meaningless wandering soul, leaving only the deepest obsessions in my heart."

"What's more, you will be swallowed by other stronger evil spirits, and you will become one of these ten thousand dead bones, and you will never be reborn forever." Po Meng raised her hand, pointing to the flowing Wangchuan River.

Mo Lin then turned his head, and in the turbid yellow river, several white bones could be vaguely seen floating up and down, looking at him with black, empty eyes, which seemed to be pity, but also seemed to be ridiculed.

"Obsession..." he murmured repeatedly.

Mo Lin understands the power of obsession.

If one day, when his obsession expands to occupy the entire soul, will he be driven by nature to find Qin Zhan who is wandering outside?

Thinking of this, he grinned and continued to stand beside the bridge silently, like a statue.

Po Meng sighed, turned and left.

In the underworld, there are gusts of gloomy winds, and the souls who come and go are expressionless and shackled, crossing the Wangchuan River like walking corpses.

On the other side of the Naihe Bridge, the other shore flowers are still blooming enchantingly.

------------------ Extra Story End ---------------------

Qin Zhan had a dream about the days when he was with Yuan Xitong.

It was Yuan Xitong's 27th birthday. A week ago, he called the senior who had been secretly in love with him. He seemed to mention this incident unintentionally, and the senior Dang even said that he would celebrate with him.

Standing outside, Qin Zhan saw the happy smile on Yuan Xitong's face through the crack of the door, he pursed his lips, and could only swallow any more words silently.

Yuan Xitong was in a good mood that week.

It's just that the senior works in a Fortune [-] company, and the nobles are busy, so they forgot about it.

On his birthday, Qin Zhan was busy preparing dinner all afternoon, six dishes and one soup, when it was brought to the table, Yuan Xitong suddenly lost his temper and threw away the soup bowl with a cold face. Soup spilled all over the table. .

Qin Zhan knew that he was upset, so he didn't compete with him, and comforted him softly, "What's the matter, which dish is not to your liking?"

"Where's the cake?" Yuan Xitong asked.

Qin Zhan paused, and said apologetically, "When I came back, it was raining too much, there was traffic jam on the road, and the cake shop was not on the way, so—"

"I want to eat cake." Yuan Xitong said, without looking at him, leaning against the back of the chair with his arms folded.

Qin Zhan turned his head and looked out the window. The big raindrops slapped on the glass and the eaves, making a crackling sound.

He smiled and put down his chopsticks, "Okay, I'll go get them now, you should drink some hot soup to cushion your stomach, or your stomach will hurt again soon."

Yuan Xitong frowned, "You can just take what you have, and don't care what to do with so much."

Qin Zhan went out and held up his umbrella.

He worked overtime a few days ago, developed a low-grade fever due to overwork, and was busy preparing for Yuan Xitong's birthday, so he didn't have time to see a doctor.Although it is not a difficult and serious illness, it is still difficult to recover. I have a headache every day, and my body temperature is always maintained at 38c.It is late autumn now, if the temperature is lower at night, the body temperature will almost break through the 39c mark. He has been taking antipyretics by himself for the past few days, and plans to see the doctor after Yuan Xitong's birthday.

But what does it matter?If eating cake can make Yuan Xitong happy, there is nothing he can't do.

Qin Zhan took the cake back in the rain, but when he returned home, he heard Yuan Xitong calling in his room, looking very excited.

"It's okay, it doesn't matter, the senior is so busy, it's okay to forget."

"Now? To Formosa? Oh...and then to the bar?"

"...Okay, senior, wait a moment, I'll go over right away."

Qin Zhan was silent, turned around and put the cake on the dining table, his frozen fingers turned blue and white.

After a while, Yuan Xitong came out and told him falteringly that he wanted to go out.

Qin Zhan smiled, "It's raining outside, where are you going, I'll see you off."

Yuan Xitong refused, with a flustered tone, "No need, I can take a taxi, it's not far."

Qin Zhan could only nod his head.

He's used to pampering and pampering him, even if it's a breakup, as long as Yuan Xitong is happy, there's nothing wrong with it.

However, they have known each other for 15 years, Qin Zhan has liked him for 12 years, and they have been together for five years. Yuan Xitong still misses his senior.

That being the case, why did you agree to his pursuit back then, and why didn't you break up with him now?

Qin Zhan rubbed his temples tiredly, put all the cold meals into the microwave to heat them up, and finished dinner alone.

At 12:30, Yuan Xitong called Qin Zhan and asked him to pick him up at the bar.

Qin Zhan hurriedly put on a coat and went out to bring his drunken lover home.

Yuan Xitong had a bad stomach, so Qin Zhan hurriedly helped him wash and change clothes, made sober soup, prepared stomach medicine, and fed him one by one.

Yuan Xitong leaned in his arms, choked up and cried to him.

It turned out that the senior already had a girlfriend, and the girlfriend's father was a high-ranking official in the province, which was good for his future.It's just that she can't let go of Yuan Xitong who has always liked him, so she always talks about him, never expressing it clearly.Today when they were at the bar with some other friends, the senior's girlfriend was also there. Seeing that the two were very affectionate, Yuan Xitong was stimulated, so he could only drink blindly.

"Qin Zhan...help me, help me forget him..." Yuan Xitong cried out of breath, trembling in his arms like a wounded little animal, "Please, help me help me……"

Qin Zhan lowered his eyes and patted his back gently.

"It's been five years, haven't I been helping you all the time?" He asked in a low voice.

For five full years, even a rock should be warmed up.

What is the saddest thing between lovers?

There is a distance of 99 steps between us, I walked [-] steps, but you are stingy with taking one step, but you still say that I am not working hard enough.

In the dream, Qin Zhan was like an outsider, even though he had his own consciousness, he was trapped in a body, repeating the past between him and Yuan Xitong.

Half a year later, Qin Zhan wanted to break up, but Yuan Xitong disagreed.He was tired, so he asked the company for a long vacation and moved to another city while the other party was at work.

But the difference is that this time Qin Zhan didn't experience the past from his own perspective, his consciousness still stayed at his and Yuan Xitong's home.

On the first day of moving out, Yuan Xitong called and asked all of Qin Zhan's friends, but no one wanted to talk to him.In the evening, Yuan Xitong drank wine all night at home. This time, no one helped him prepare hangover soup and stomach medicine.

Yuan Xitong endured the whole night, endured the stomachache the next day and chased him to the company, pestering several friends who had made good friends with Qin Zhan to ask him where he was.Several friends were entrusted by Qin Zhan not to disclose his address, and because they really hated his repetitive personality, they stopped showing mercy and asked the security guard to drive him out.

On the third day after moving out, Yuan Xitong also asked for leave, and continued to stalk his friends' houses with the cheek to ask questions.

On the fourth day after moving out, Qin Zhan felt sorry for his friends being disturbed and asked them to tell Yuan Xitong the address.

Because he couldn't book a ticket, Yeyuan Xitong bought a ticket and chased him overnight, and he didn't arrive until noon the next day. But at that time, Qin Zhan had already had a car accident and was sent to the hospital.

In Qin Zhan's mobile phone contacts, Yuan Xitong was set as a star contact, the first one, and the doctor called him.

So Yuan Xitong rushed to the hospital without stopping. When he arrived, the doctor issued a critical illness notice.

Floating in mid-air with ideology, Qin Zhan saw Yuan Xitong staggering back as if struck by lightning, collapsed to the ground, howled like a child, and kept begging the doctor to treat him.

After the operation, Qin Zhan was sent to the ICU ward.

Yuan Xitong lay on the glass and looked in. He hadn't eaten and slept well for a few days, his face was pale, and his face was stained with tears.

The memory came to an abrupt end here, and Qin Zhan woke up suddenly, seeing darkness in front of him.

He turned his head, the accompanying bed next to the hospital bed was empty, Yuan Xitong moved a chair and sat on the side of the bed, lying on the bed with his head resting on his arms and fell asleep, the other hand was still holding his hand tightly .

Qin Zhan withdrew his hand expressionlessly, turned over, closed his eyes and continued to sleep.

Yuan Xitong was awakened by his movement, and turned on the night light on the bedside table behind her, stood up tiptoe and looked at him, and her spine, which had been stiff for a long time, clicked.

He whispered, "Ah Zhan?"

Qin Zhan didn't answer him.

The night outside the window is dark, and the crescent moon hangs high.

Yuan Xitong sat back on the chair, unable to hide his disappointment.

----------------------------------

Qin Zhan's body is recovering day by day. Except for the broken right leg, which requires a wheelchair and rest, all other bodily functions have fully recovered. People living in the ICU ward are able to walk on crutches at this time. This achievement is not something other people can easily achieve.

One sunny afternoon, Yuan Xitong pushed the wheelchair and took him to the small garden to relax. Qin Zhan brought a book and read it under the shade of a tree.

Later, Yuan Xitong went to the side to answer the phone, Qin Zhan picked up the water bottle he carried with him and took a sip of water, but when he looked down, he saw a fluffy black and white thing lying on his lap with a whining sound, dawdling like a baby with.

Qin Zhan took a closer look, and found that it was a majestic Alaska, and when it landed on all fours, it reached the height of his thighs when he was sitting.

"This is a hospital, where did the little...cough, big guy?" Qin Zhan rubbed its head with a smile.

Alaska grabbed Qin Zhan's thigh with two front paws, and read a book with him with his head on the side.

This dog is very well-behaved, unlike other cats and dogs who like to stick out their tongues and lick people everywhere, at most they just poke their heads around him, which is very pleasing.

Qin Zhan took out a pack of beef jerky from the snacks that Yuan Xitong brought, and Alaska lay on his lap and watched eagerly.Seeing that, Qin Zhan squinted his eyes and smiled, raising his left hand, "Want to eat? Please."

"Woo..." Alaska wagged his tail flatteringly, kept rubbing against the back of his hand, and looked at him from bottom to top with two round black eyes.

Qin Zhan only felt that a cupid shot him in the heart with a puff of a bow and arrow, so he couldn't help but laughed and cursed, "Little bastard, how do you know that I can't stand being cute?" Open your mouth wide to welcome a new round of 'rain of dried meat'.

"Uh, hello."

As if shrouded by a big umbrella, the fine sunlight shining on Qin Zhan's body through the gaps in the leaves was completely blocked. He raised his head and looked at the foreigner who spoke bad Chinese.

It was a rather strong and straight foreign man. His shirt was bulging out of his muscles, and he looked even more handsome with a suit.He should be above 185 by visual inspection, with short dark brown hair, gray-blue eyes, deep contours, handsome features, and an aura like a sharp sword that has not been unsheathed, restrained yet sharp.

"Hello," Qin Zhan smiled gently and said in English, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

"Uh...you can use Chinese. Recently, I've been practicing Chinese." The man stumbled and said, Qin Zhan pursed his lips and smiled, "Okay, sir."

"You can call me oliver," he squatted down to match Qin Zhan's height, and stretched out his right hand holding flowers behind his back, "Qin, I wish you a speedy recovery."

"Hmm..." Qin Zhan tilted his head to look at him in confusion, "I know you?"

Oliver paused, then smiled.He smiled very charmingly, and his originally fierce aura instantly softened, his eyes were bent, and he was as graceful as a British gentleman.

... But an English gentleman is not as big as he is.

"Of course I do," he said, "Although it's only a few times...but you've helped me a lot, and I'm very grateful to you."

Qin Zhan knew there was something wrong with his memory, so he didn't go into it at this time. After thanking him, he took the flowers. It was a bouquet of lilies, occasionally dotted with a few roses and orchids. The color was bright and the fragrance was fresh and elegant. It was very suitable for displaying in the ward.

"Then you have a good rest, I won't bother you any more." Oliver said, "I'll come and visit you tomorrow."

Qin Zhan nodded, Yuan Xitong came back in a hurry not long after Oliver left, and apologized, "I'm sorry, I'll take—" Halfway through speaking, he caught a glimpse of Alaska who was still squatting beside Qin Zhan, and his The smile froze on the face of the flowers in his arms, "This, this... er, this..."

"I don't know where this dog came from. It's smart and sensible. I like it very much." Qin Zhan said casually, ignoring the question of flowers on purpose.Alaska squinted his eyes and let out a grunt from his throat, touched his leg with a front paw, raised his head and gave Yuan Xitong a provocative look.

Yuan Xitong's face was a bit ugly, he forced a smile, "But the hospital doesn't allow dogs, not even the VIP ward."

That's right, Qin Zhan frowned in embarrassment, and lowered his head to meet Alaska's eyes, "Hey, what do you think?" He asked jokingly.

The big dog snorted, moved its paws to the armrest of the wheelchair, tried its best to prop up its upper body and rubbed against his face, then jumped back and stood on the ground on all fours, whining a few times as if saying goodbye, one step at a time Turn around and leave three times.

Qin Zhan looked at Alaska in surprise and disappeared from that corner. This big dog has never barked loudly from the beginning to the end. It is a big difference from those dogs that bark all day long. Don't tell me it's just a dumb dog?

Qin Zhan was brainstorming endlessly. Yuan Xitong saw that the wind was blowing, so he took off his coat and put it on him, and said in a low voice, "Ah Zhan, it's cold, next time you go out, you should wear more."

Qin Zhan didn't appreciate it, turned his head and said, "It's been so many days, don't you have to go to work?"

"You haven't recovered yet, how can I leave." Yuan Xitong smiled and knelt down in front of him, "Ah Zhan, you have always taken care of me before, now it's my turn to take care of you."

"I'm fine now. I can walk with a cane, and I don't have any serious illnesses. It's fine to have a nurse around, and I don't need anyone to take care of me." Qin Zhan said lightly.

Yuan Xitong didn't speak, he knew that talking about it would only increase his sadness, so he walked behind Qin Zhan and pushed the wheelchair to take him back to the ward.

"The weather has changed a lot recently. Don't stay outside after four o'clock. Your leg injury is still not healed. Be careful of catching a cold." He quickly cleaned up his emotions and said with a smile as usual. This is Qin Zhan's memory It was the first time Li saw Yuan Xitong so gentle and considerate, and it was also the first time he saw him appear so calm and rational.

Qin Zhan looked up at the sky. Since he woke up, not only Yuan Xitong and himself have undergone earth-shaking changes in personality, but even the earth seems to have been lost by a superman.Their city is on the southeast coast, but it's only September, and it's the end of summer. As a result, the sun has set at the beginning of four o'clock in the afternoon, and the temperature at night is even closer to 0C, which is as cold as winter.

He had some bad premonition, as if something big was about to happen.
