Chapter 59 Embrace

After a moment of silence, 1551 emerged from the dim alley.

Like a vigilant little stray cat, she stared at him with wide eyes.

He Zi looked at his face, which was a little dusty but did not diminish his handsomeness. After a moment of silence, he said with some sarcasm: "Aren't you going to become an advanced system? How did you end up being wanted by the Lord God all over the world?"

Ever since he was slapped in the face when they met last time in the other world, he would think of 1551 from time to time.

1551 didn't say anything. He looked at He Zi, wondering if he could trust this man.

The secret he had discovered was so huge that he was afraid telling others before the dust settled, as it would cause more problems.

At least for now, he has no intention of exposing himself immediately.

1551: "There are just some misunderstandings that need to be resolved. Can you please not tell others that you have seen me?"

What he needs to do now is to find something that can be exploded. In the other world, he can buy bombs and other items, which will be perfect for destroying the system processing plant.

He wants to liberate the emotions in the bottle, including his own.

He Zi looked at his eyes, which were clearly bright despite being thinking about something else. After his fingers twitched for a moment, he finally agreed: "Come with me to where I live. I can provide you with a place to stay temporarily."

1551 looked at him with some surprise: "Thank you."

Soon, He Zi found a huge black hat from somewhere and put it on 1551.

If 1551 went out alone wearing this hat, he would definitely be noticed by others. But it would be different if there was a human being around him.

He Zi took him back to his home.

1551 saw a completely unfamiliar system there. The system had a similar build to his own, soft black hair, and rounded black eyes.

Even the mechanical part is an external equipment, but he has white dog ears on his head and a slightly curled white dog tail behind him, which is fluffy and somewhat similar to a Samoyed.

If someone else saw it, they would probably think it was somewhat similar to him.

However, 1551, who was a little absent-minded, didn't notice it at this time. He stretched out his hand and greeted the system.

From what the two attackers who just passed by said, the Lord God did not ask the systems to search for him, so it doesn't matter if he is seen by other systems.

For this, he should thank the Lord God for his suspicion, which gave him a margin of error.

The system just looked at him coldly, nodded politely, and then took a glass of water and went into his small room.

The moment He Zi saw them meet, he felt a little guilty.

He was indeed following the new system that 1551 had found, but he never found another system with a personality similar to 1551's.

1551: "I remember the last time I saw you, your system was still a girl."

He Zi felt a little irritated, not sure if it was directed at him or something else, so his tone was a little depressed: "I changed another one. Anyway, you are just systems, tools without emotions."

They naturally won't be sad if they are abandoned. To them, it doesn't matter who their users are.

No.

For a moment, 1551 wanted to open his mouth to refute, but fortunately he reacted in time and shut his mouth.

He Zi: "I don't know why the Lord God is looking for you, and I don't want to get into trouble. Just stay for a while and then leave."

1551 nodded and thanked him again.

After He Zi left, 1551's tense nerves finally relaxed a little. Sitting on the soft sofa, he could finally start thinking about what to do next.

He couldn't open his system panel to make the purchase. Once opened, the Lord God might monitor his movements.

This risk cannot be taken.

But how could he get enough explosives other than from the system store?

1551 unconsciously stood up from the sofa and began to pace frequently.

Perhaps the pacing was a bit too noisy, the dogtail system that had just left reappeared and gave him a blank look: "Why don't you go wash your face? You look dirty."

1551 smiled at him and said, "Thank you for reminding me."

It's a somewhat strange system.

The dog's tail couldn't help but wag.

1551's attention was suddenly drawn to his dog's tail, and a sense of familiarity flashed through his mind.

He had seen this kind of external dog tail system in other places... at the entrance of the black market.

At that time, he and 999 witnessed a dog tail system being sent to the black market for surgery by a companion on the pretext of a virus, in order to clear out all the remaining emotions.

It turns out that everything was foreshadowed. With the Lord God's strong desire for control, how could he allow a black market belonging to the system to exist in the other world?

The reason for turning a blind eye is to ensure that all systems have no unnecessary emotions. Even if emotions arise, the systems will only think they are viruses and will take the initiative to carry out "repairs".

They have the warm hearts of humans, but they have always mistakenly believed that the beating is given by the Lord God.

Black market...black market!

1551's eyes suddenly lit up.

Although the existence of that place is tacitly allowed by the Lord God, in order to conceal his true thoughts, the Lord God never monitors that place, which seems to be a cover-up.

Now that all the hosts are trying to catch him, the black market, which only the system can enter, has become the safest place.

He can also buy bombs there!

1551 said thank you to the confused Samoyed mimic system and went to wash his face with a happy look.

At this time, He Zi, who was upstairs, received a letter that only the host could see.

His originally nonchalant expression suddenly changed after he saw the content above.

Another letter from the Lord God.

It is clearly stated above that as long as a host can find the offending system and report it in time, he or she can be directly upgraded to a high-level host, configured with an exclusive high-level system, and the Lord God will additionally reward ten S-level items and a large number of A-level items, etc.

He Zi had never seen such a generous reward before.

There is no attacker who doesn't want to become a high-level attacker, who can have a private conversation with the Lord God, be above other attackers and systems, and even be ordered around by high-level systems.

You can also select the strategy world first.

You no longer have to be assigned to those surface worlds where the characters are not popular or where it is difficult to survive in the world.

Regardless of the latter part, the first one alone is enough to make everyone excited.

At the same time, he felt uneasy.

He had never seen the Lord God so anxious to seize a system.

It seemed that He took this matter much more seriously than he had imagined.

He just thought that 1551 had made a mistake, but now it seems that this mistake is not something he can tolerate at all.

If he were to be discovered, he would surely be considered a criminal by the Lord God.

The expression on He Zi's face changed several times, and finally stopped at a rather ugly look.

Boom boom boom.

There was a sudden knock on the door.

The man, immersed in weighing the pros and cons, was startled. He spoke in an unnatural voice, "Come in."

Polite 1551 carefully pushed open a crack and poked his head in: "I have one last favor to ask of you, is that okay?"

In the dark room, the expression on He Zi's face was unclear.

"What's up?"

"I want you to accompany me to the black market. Just take me to the entrance." 1551 twitched his cat ears. "Once this is over, I'll definitely pay you!"

What can you pay for?

It's nothing more than some general-level props and points.

How can it compare to the conditions offered by the Lord God?

He Zi's expression changed slightly, but he finally stood up under 1551's expectant gaze: "Let's go."

The cat's tail behind 1551 swayed happily: "Thank you."

He didn't notice that the expression on He Zi's face changed the moment he turned his back to him.

Putting on the pitch-black hats again, they used the same method to conceal their tracks as they walked towards the black market.

Only 1551 knew how to get to the black market, so he walked ahead to lead the way.

At the same time, I also discovered the changes in the surroundings.

More and more raiders began to search, and from time to time you would run into a whole team of raiders searching on the road.

It seems that the Lord God is even more anxious.

1551's heart sank, and the bad premonition spread again.

Sure enough, just as they passed another corner and were about to reach the entrance of the black market, they suddenly ran into another group of people. They were raiders living in another area and did not know He Zi.

After discovering that 1551 was dressed suspiciously, they stopped them.

"Show us, why are you covering yourself?"

In the other world, there are many strategists with weird and eccentric personalities. Those who don't like to show their faces are usually never suspected, but now is a special period.

The other world was on guard, so being asked to see someone's face was within reason.

1551 was silent for a moment, and just when he was at a loss, He Zi spoke.

He Zi: "My friend just had laser surgery and needs to avoid light. Do you think I, a human, would protect a system?"

Several people looked at each other, and the suspicion in their eyes still did not disappear.

They had just learned that they had a chance to become high-level strategists, so how could they be willing to let go of any suspicion?

"Let's take a look." The leader said as he raised his hand to lift it.

"Run!" He Zi's eyes changed, "Run forward!"

At this point, 1551 could only run forward, the wind blowing the corners of his clothes making a constant noise.

When he passed by a dark alley again, he hid in it again.

This time they were lucky. The group of people were held back by He Zi. He had already hidden when they came over. They were misled and continued to run forward. They never thought that the person was hiding in the dead end.

Hearing He Zi calling him, 1551 came out from his hiding place and smiled: "I'm here."

They were very close to the black market and would soon be able to buy bombs and liberate the emotions of all systems.

Thinking of this, even though he was always very cautious, he couldn't help but reveal his dimples in advance.

He Zi looked at him with a complicated expression.

1551Unclear, he gradually put away his smile: "What's wrong?"

He Zi: “…I’m sorry.”

He suddenly took a step forward and reached out to push 1551 back.

1551:!!!

His round eyes looked like they were covered with a layer of mist because of the shock, and he was pushed backwards by the sudden force - into a temporary white hole in space.

What space crack is that? It’s the Lord God!

1551 felt a familiar, terrifying, and cold aura from that space.

He didn't fall into the hole right away, but instead got half his body stuck in it. He stretched out his hands and tightly grasped the edge of the space crack, not daring to let go. He looked up in disbelief: "Why?"

He Zi turned his head away and didn't look him in the eye: "Haven't you ever thought about what will happen to me if I'm found out after I've protected you?"

It's just an excuse.

1551 looked at him with some dismay, and got the answer from his gaze that didn't dare to meet hers.

"If you were worried about harboring someone, you could have simply refused my request to take me to the black market, or you could have handed me over to those people just now." 1551's lips had turned pale from the force of the blow, and the color had long since drained from his delicate face. "The Lord God raised the stakes, and you're tempted, aren't you?"

He Zi's expression turned ugly. "So what? I helped you before. You're just a system anyway. I abandoned you once, but you still chose to trust me again. This shows that you systems don't understand emotions at all."

“It’s just a system anyway.”

For some unknown reason, He Zi repeated this sentence again, and the blue veins on his clenched fists were clearly visible.

It seems that only in this way can the inexplicable feeling of guilt in my heart disappear.

The suction behind him grew stronger, and even though 1551 was trying to hold on with his last bit of strength, he had to let go.

After falling down, I will probably be destroyed by the Lord God immediately.

1551 closed his eyes in some pain.

The next second, someone grabbed his wrist.

The familiar cold fragrance mixed with a hint of blood suddenly enveloped him.

It was not until he was pulled out by another irresistible force that 1551 suddenly opened his eyes and stared blankly at the man who appeared in front of him like a god.

The gloomy eyes were filled with violence, and the murderous aura finally floated around the man without any disguise, like a sharp blade that had been sharpened and seen blood. However, the moment she looked into his eyes, it immediately transformed into another emotion.

Heartache, love, redemption... too many complicated things, like a white paper filled with formulas just to find an answer, and no different from the gray sky.

1551 blurted out: "Gu Chenzhou!?"

All the bones in his body were aching, and at the same time, the pain was telling him one thing clearly - all this was not an illusion.

He really appeared in front of him.

She broke the barrier between the inner and outer worlds and truly stood here to protect him.

1551 blinked and reached out to him without hesitation.

Then, I was held in his arms with a feeling of absolute security.
