She had also imagined thousands of possibilities of failing to complete the mission, but she had never thought of dying before accomplishing it.
Is this something a normal person can do?
In other words, is this something the male protagonist can do?
If she remembered correctly, although Chen Jinggu's character was vindictive, he was definitely not one who broke his promise.
It was clearly agreed last night that I would help her complete the training of the task.
Is this how he helped her? Locked her in bed?
[Host, Xiao Qi didn't mean to hide this from you.]
[The male protagonist had only put some tranquilizing pills in the noodle soup, which were harmless to the host's body, thus evading the system's routine detection. Xiao Qi also had no idea that the male protagonist would lock the host up.]
Xiao Qi looked at the host who was deceived and hurt, and spoke carefully, fearing that it would upset his own host.
Woohoo, it's so useless. It should have thought of it earlier. If it had discovered it in advance, the host would at least have a chance to question the male protagonist instead of being locked up directly with some fasting pills.
Ning Wan buried her head in the quilt, trying to avoid reality, but she had no way of ignoring the subtle restraints on her hands.
So she turned her gaze to the rope that bound her hands and prevented her from getting out of bed, and tried to use the spiritual power in her body to struggle free, but the moment the spiritual power approached the rope, it instantly dissipated and she could not use it at all.
Well... damn it, at this time, you still use this trick?
For a moment, she suspected that the spiritual power in her body also recognized its master. She had taken too many elixirs given by Chen Jinggu, and even the spiritual power did not obey her command.
Ning Wan was probably very angry. After failing one after another, she lost control and bit him directly.
She imagined that her white teeth were made of copper and iron, and could bite the ropes that bound her around the pillar into pieces.
However, Ning Wan was wrong. Although she didn't know whether the rope that trapped her would be bitten into pieces, her teeth were very delicate. She only used a little force and felt a sour feeling in her tooth roots.
[Host, please stop biting. This is the magical weapon that Zhong Luan gave to the hero. It cannot be broken by physical force alone.]
Upon hearing this, Ning Wan's face froze and he looked up instantly.
Apart from her saliva, nothing else on the rope had changed.
Just by looking at the color and the luster, Ning Wan finally understood where the familiar feeling just now came from.
But there was something wrong with its shape. She remembered it was a chain.
[Host, Xiao Qi will not be mistaken. The form of the Demon-Trapping Lock is not fixed and can be changed at will by the user.]
Ning Wan: ...It's quite advanced, but it's used to lock monsters. Can you please not waste its talent?
She suddenly thought that if she failed in her mission and turned into a monster and happened to meet the returning Shen Jinggu, would she be stabbed by Shen Jinggu's sword?
It seems a bit bloody, but it is not impossible.
After hearing the host's guess, Xiao Qi suddenly felt a little regretful.
Regret for letting its host, who already had a strange way of thinking, read all kinds of storybooks without restraint.
"Host, stop imagining things. Perhaps the hero is just afraid that the monsters will hurt you." Xiao Qi looked at the host who was still trying to break free and spoke again:
[And, Master, this demon-binding lock is now only open to the male protagonist. If you want to forcibly open it, your own strength must be stronger than the male protagonist.]
Xiao Qi looked at the host who took out a dagger from somewhere, sighed helplessly, and then explained the science seriously.
But Ning Wan didn't put down the dagger after hearing this. Instead, he continued to grind on the rope, trying to use the blade to break the demon-binding chain, while muttering in a mysterious way:
"Xiao Qi, do you know what the consequences of me being trapped are?"
"Do you still remember that inhumane mission punishment?"
"Failing the mission is certainly terrifying, but what's even scarier is having me randomly transformed into a monster."
"What if the system goes haywire and turns me into a pig demon?"
Xiao Qi, who thought the sky was about to fall: [……]
"Host, is there a possibility that the mission only asks you to find the truth, but does not require you to find the truth yourself? If you can then trick the male protagonist into saying something, the mission will be easily completed."
Xiao Qi looked at the task panel in front of him and saw that it was clearly written: Break into Chongtou Village at night and find out the secret of why the hunters did not allow the disciples of Tianyan Sect to enter the village.
Ning Wan, who was still trying to struggle, immediately withdrew his hands and looked at the intact Demon-Trapping Chain in a very good mood.
There's nothing more pleasurable than lying back and watching a task being completed.
Electronic Sound, who was watching the fun from the side, looked at Xiao Qi who had once again exploited a loophole in the mission, and silently despised him in his heart: Just keep indulging him, there will always be a day when he will fail again, and then you two will regret it.
[Today's random mission: Go to Chongtou Village and rescue He Song. (Note: Since the host is not very motivated to complete the mission, which is not conducive to the plot development, this mission must be completed by the host.)
Mission completion time limit: within one hour. (Special reminder: If the rescue time is exceeded or the host is not rescued within the specified time, the mission will be considered a failure.)
Mission failure penalty: The host will transform into a pig demon when the number of people is estimated to be 100.
(Note: The penalty for this mission is life-threatening, please be mindful.)]
Ning Wan, who was just about to lie down, chuckled, then without any hesitation, he once again grasped the dagger that was thrown beside the pillow and began to "sharpen the knife" again, but he was already thinking about how to escape after the mission failed.
Of course, this doesn't mean she gave up on He Song.
The four words "it's not her rescue" reminded her that she just wanted to leave a way for herself while creating a way for others.
