Chapter 170: Ghost Hunting (I)

"Wuwu... I want 001... I want 001 wuwu..."

5789 I didn’t expect that big brother’s little host could cry so much. It has been crying since it said the first sentence. I don’t understand why big brother cares so much about Chu Yun’s weak and useless appearance?

The system respects the strong. Although 5789 currently looks down on this person, it feels that this host must have outstanding qualities, otherwise the eldest brother would not have asked it to come.

So there was no choice but to keep a good eye on him until the big brother came back and prevent him from causing any trouble.

[Don’t cry…]

Chu Yun was almost heartbroken. He needed company when he left the mission world. 001 was not there at the most critical moment, and this stupid system took over his affairs.

"...Will 001 come back?"

5789 works very hard, but for some reason his boss never assigns him a host, so he memorizes the system rules by heart when he has nothing to do.

Article 158 of the System Rules states that one should not speak too confidently to the host without absolute certainty.

5789 knew that with 001's intelligence, he would definitely be able to get out, and the small space-time prison could not trap him, but nothing is absolute.

"Maybe I can come back... or maybe I can't."

Same crap.

Chu Yun's expectant eyes dimmed. This system spoke in a very rigid manner and was not as easy to talk to as 001.

Chu Yun forgot that 001 was also so strict in the beginning.

As soon as he woke up from the system space, he called 001 expectantly. It was the same mechanical voice, but it did not contain the gentleness that Chu Yun was familiar with.

[Hello host, I am cannon fodder system 5789. Due to 001's violation of the rules, I will now take over the host's subsequent mission world.]

Now seeing Chu Yun pouting and wanting to cry, 5789 began to worry. He was worried that his elder brother would blame him for not taking good care of Chu Yun.

[Host, don't cry. Maybe Big Brother will come back in the next world...]

Chu Yun's eyes lit up.

[…Maybe he won’t come back]

Chu Yun wanted to change the system. He was almost mad. At least he wanted to stop letting this idiot in front of him control him.

5789 saw that the person in front of him stopped crying, his face flushed and he was breathing heavily. He had never taken over a host before, and it was not his turn, so 5789 did not understand humans, and only felt that Chu Yun was happy.

[Then settle now? ]

No one spoke for a long time. 5789 didn't understand why Chu Yun was silent again.

[Abo Cannon Fodder, Difficulty Rating: A]

[Host Chuyun, mission completed, plot exploration level: 82, mission completion level: 100. Rating: A+]

The excellent ratings couldn't make Chu Yun feel better. He squatted in the corner like a wet mushroom, motionless.

【Host……】

Chu Yun was getting moldy and didn't want to talk.

【Host……】

"what?!?"

Seeing that Chu Yun was finally willing to pay attention to it, 5789's tone became happy:

[Host! When will you complete the mission? ]

Chu Yun suspected that 5789 was the dumbest system. He was already sad, yet they still asked him to complete the task?

“I won’t do it!!!”

5789 The sky has fallen. If the host does not complete the task, he will not be able to get points, and he will not be able to exchange them for his favorite lithium batteries.

Although their system will not make you hungry, eating lithium batteries will make you feel comfortable all over. It is the most expensive snack!

It works hard to memorize the system rules so that it can better assist the host in completing tasks in the future and earn more points.

5789 has never earned any points since it was created. Its boss disliked it and refused to let it take on a host. The only time it ate a lithium battery was when 001 threw it to it.

In fact, 001 is not its big brother at all, nor is it 001's little brother. It just regards 001 as an idol, and for the sake of bragging, it announces to the outside world that it is 001's little brother.

001 is the most powerful system in the cannon fodder group. It has too many points to count, and it never lacks hosts.

When 001 was imprisoned in the space-time prison because of Chu Yun, 5789 didn't believe it at all and explained to everyone that it must be a rumor. 001 would not be that stupid.

But it turned out that 001 was really locked up, and 5789 used all his life's knowledge to successfully squeeze in among the systems and take over Chuyun.

He thought about the lithium battery again. According to human terms, it should be sweet and delicious, so...

[Host, go do your mission quickly. You won't be sad if you're busy!]

Chu Yun hates 5789, it is an inhumane system.

“Go away! I don’t want it!”

5789 was anxious, but there was nothing he could do. Forget it, if he didn't want to go, then he wouldn't go...

5789 stayed in the system space for an unknown amount of time, but still couldn't sit still. It thought for several days before coming up with a good excuse to convince Chu Yun.

[Host, maybe Big Brother will be back when you finish your mission!]

Chu Yun felt that this excuse was terrible, but there was nothing he could do. He couldn't give up on himself.

"Then you have to use half of the points I earned from completing missions to save 001 and redeem it."

5789 was silent for a long time. The system had no friends or relatives. It seemed to understand why 001 was so risking his life for Chu Yun. Its efforts were rewarded.

【good. 】

——

"When do you think the boss will be able to come out?"

"Who knows? It'll probably take another hundred years."

"When can we be as powerful as it? Eat up those stinky Taoist priests in one bite! Crunch!"

"Dream on with your dreams!"

"Tsk, you're still the boss? You've been sealed in by a few talismans from the Taoist priests and can't get out. You're just a coward, and you're the only one..."

Before he finished speaking, the face of the person in front of him twisted, and he turned into mist and dissipated in the wind.

When Chu Yun opened his eyes and saw this scene, he was so scared that he fainted.

It’s not because this person turned into mist, but because there are many densely packed ghosts standing around him.

How could Chu Yun be so sure they were ghosts? Each one looked terrifying to the extreme. Some were eyeless, some had swords stuck in their heads, and some had their stomachs ripped open, so that Chu Yun could clearly see their internal organs wriggling.

Any one of these people would have fatal injuries on his body, but he could still jump around and talk.

If it’s not a ghost, then what is it?

Chu Yun is afraid of many things in his life, ghosts are definitely the first, second are zombies, and third are snakes.

The second time Chu Yun woke up, he was struck by lightning. He felt severe pain all over his body and his arms were burned, but he was not dead.

so……

【You are also a ghost.】
