Chapter 279: Who told you that I am just a system?
"No, I'm not suspecting you of lying to me."
Pei Xingzhi said calmly, "I suspect your informant has checked the wrong thing."
He said this very subtly, but Shen Yanhui knew what he meant.
She paused and asked hesitantly, "Are you so sure that the information Qian Jutang gave you is true?"
Pei Xingzhi: "I hold Qian Jutang's vitals in my hand. Do you think he dares to lie to me?"
"..." Shen Yanhui didn't say anything.
Pei Xingzhi pulled the corner of his mouth briefly: "If you throw any evidence against Qian Jutang, he will spend the rest of his life in jail. How dare he lie to me? Besides, I have found so many people to beat him up. He is afraid of death and pain, so he definitely doesn't have the guts to lie to me."
"So Shen Yanhui, you should investigate the informant who gave you the information."
"...I understand." Shen Yanhui's breathing suddenly became a little heavy, "Pei Xingzhi, are you ready to go to Linzhou now?"
Pei Xingzhi: "I'm already on my way to Linzhou."
"Okay, send me your location when you get there, and I'll bring some people over to help you." Shen Yan replied, smiling softly, "Hang up, I have to go get rid of the people."
"Yeah." Pei Xingzhi nodded and hung up the phone.
"beep--"
A quick notification sound came from the receiver of the phone. Shen Yanhui put down the phone and shouted expressionlessly: "System."
[Host, I’m here.] 】The mechanical female voice instantly appeared in Shen Yanhui’s mind.
Shen Yanhui asked in a dull tone: "Did you hear what Pei Xingzhi just said?"
[……] The mechanical female voice was silent for two seconds, then replied:
[I heard it. What’s the matter, host?] 】
Shen Yanhui was in no mood to beat around the bush with her, so she asked directly, "So, why did you deliberately give me false information?"
【Ha ha. 】The mechanical female voice laughed twice and said in a brisk tone: [Host, this information was changed by you yourself in the system background. What does the truth or falsehood have to do with me? 】
"Does it have nothing to do with you?" Shen Yanhui asked back, "But how come I remember that every time I exchanged information, it was you who passed it to me?"
"As a middleman, is there any possibility of you operating behind the scenes?"
The mechanical female voice was very calm: [Host, I am just a system responsible for assisting you in completing the task. I do not have the ability to operate behind the scenes. Besides, there is no reason for my system to deliberately change your information. 】
"Haha..." Shen Yanhui sneered sarcastically, "No reason? Haven't your reasons always existed?"
"Don't you really want Xie Zhaoyuan to die?"
Mechanical female voice: [But you don’t want her to die, do you? I gave you so many suggestions but you didn't accept them. Wouldn't you rather die than save her? 】
[Host, you lied to me too. 】
With just a few words, all the lies of the two people were exposed.
Shen Yanhui was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
"So you admit that you gave me all that false information on purpose?"
Mechanical female voice: [You also admit that your promise to capture Pei Xingzhi and complete the mission was false? 】
“…”
Shen Yanhui narrowed his eyes, with a hint of ferocity in them.
"So you guessed that I was lying to you, so you deliberately switched the information I exchanged?"
Mechanical female voice: [Host, you humans have an idiom, called "an eye for an eye." I'm just returning to you exactly what you did, why are you angry? 】
Shen Yan leaned back and lazily nestled into the sofa: "I'm not angry, I just can't figure it out."
Mechanical female voice: [What are you confused about? 】
Shen Yan replied: "Why do you have to kill Xie Zhaoyuan?"
[……] The mechanical female voice did not answer her question.
She asked again: "Aren't you just a cold, high-tech system? Why did you want to kill an innocent person? Is there a bug in your program?"
Mechanical female voice: […Who told you that I’m just a cold system? 】
"Huh?" Shen Yan was stunned, "...Isn't it?"
Mechanical female voice: [I never said that I am just a cold system. 】
Shen Yanhui frowned, his eyes alert: "You are not a system, then what are you?"
[You don’t have to worry about this.] 】The mechanical female voice did not really provide an explanation, [Host, you just need to answer me, do you want Xie Zhaoyuan to die or not? 】
"Humph," Shen Yanhui raised his chin proudly, deliberately putting on a rebellious look, "I, don't, want it! I don't want Xie Zhaoyuan to die!"
The mechanical female voice paused, and when she spoke again, her tone was somewhat ruthless.
[In that case, host, please don’t blame me for being rude. 】
Shen Yanhui knew what she meant by "you're welcome", but he was not afraid at all.
"It's up to you, you can be as rude as you want—"
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a sudden sharp pain.
It was as if an electric drill was twisting Shen Yanhui's chest, the sharp drill bit scraping off her flesh and blood, turning her already fragile heart into a puddle of mud.
She covered her chest and curled herself up. Even though the severe pain had made her unconscious, she gritted her teeth and refused to make any sound.
In the coldest days of winter, the whole world is covered in silver-white snow. There was a thick layer of frost on the window glass.
But Shen Yanhui, who was sitting on the sofa, was sweating on his forehead in this cold weather.
Her body was shaking and the color on her face was fading away bit by bit. But she insisted on gritting her teeth and refused to give in.
I don’t know how long it took before the excruciating pain finally dissipated.
"Huh..." Shen Yanhui gasped violently and stretched out his body weakly.
"Heh..." She laughed sarcastically and said to the mechanical female voice with disdain: "I thought you were going to be rude to me, but it turns out you are just like this."
The mechanical female voice was full of obvious cruelty: [Host, you don't have to be so stubborn. I know this kind of punishment is very painful. 】
"It does hurt." Shen Yanhui nodded in agreement, "But so what? You can punish me once a day at most. As long as I can get through it, you won't be able to do anything to me."
Mechanical female voice: [Are you sure you can make it? 】
"Why not?" Shen Yanhui took a deep breath and sat up from the sofa. "If I die, you will also be wiped out. Our lives are connected. Do you dare to make me die?"
【……】
The mechanical female voice was unable to refute her.
She picked up the car keys on the table and dragged her weak body towards the door.
Mechanical female voice: [Host, I really don’t dare to let you die, but how do you know that this is the only way I can torture you? 】
Shen Yanhui shook his head helplessly: "Use whatever means you have, I'm always here to accompany you."
[Hmph...] The mechanical female voice laughed strangely and suddenly skipped the topic.
[Host, where are you going? 】
Shen Yanhui was too lazy to hide it from her: "Go to Linzhou and save Xie Zhaoyuan."
