The wind was biting cold, and the screams of fear from the people filled the air.
Shang Yanting was on a high building, his mind in darkness.
His eyes were vacant as he stared ahead, demonic power already gathering in his palm. He was about to unleash the Myriad Demon Seal, at which point the demonic energy would transform into thousands upon thousands of evil spirits, dragging the people of Shangmou City into darkness.
Shang Yanting slowly formed a hand seal, and at the last second, he suddenly heard a familiar, energetic, and vibrant voice.
"Host, dear!"
Shang Yanting's hand gestures stopped, and when he looked up, his expression was even blank.
He was in complete darkness, and his eyes were blind.
But in the endless darkness, I saw a person.
Her hair was disheveled.
She was dressed strangely.
Her smile was radiant, her whole body glowing, as if she could pull people out of the darkness.
She opened her arms and rushed towards him with enthusiasm and passion, "Dear host, my system is back!"
She moved extremely close to him, her slightly chubby cheeks pouting, and a small red mole stood out prominently against her milky-white skin at the corner of her eye.
Her face was smooth and her skin delicate, her gaze lingering on the delicate parts.
This line of poetry suddenly popped into Shang Yanting's mind.
The hand that had been forming the hand seal loosened, and the person involuntarily opened their arms to greet the other person.
The moment he touched her, the figure vanished before his eyes, and Shang Yanting returned to darkness. In his hand, however, lay a fluffy creature—a raccoon.
Unaware of what was happening, Jia Xitong rolled her hands twice in his palm.
I can't be his darling daughter, but I can be his beloved bear.
"Dear host, did you miss me during the month I was asleep?"
The realistic touch of the silken down made from ice silkworms in his palm made Shang Yanting feel as if he were in another world.
"No."
His voice was a little hoarse, and he spoke softly and slowly. The memory and shock of what had just happened were still lingering in his mind.
"You're lying! You must have been worried sick because I suddenly disappeared, right?"
They must still miss me terribly.
But he just kept quiet.
After being cooped up for a month, Jia Xitong was unusually talkative, and she was also very excited to reunite with her friends, "Let me see if you've lost weight... Holy crap!"
Jia Xitong glanced at Shang Yanting from bottom to top and saw his chin, which was so thin it looked unrecognizable.
In just one month, he went from a strong and healthy man to a paper-thin figure!
It wasn't just that he was thin; his dull eyes were fixed on the distance ahead.
He also went blind.
At the same time, the system's voice sounded in my ear.
[Current male protagonist's good/evil rating: -91]
[Please note that if the male protagonist's morality score exceeds -100, the mission will fail.]
Shang Yanting has lost a lot of weight again.
Blindness again
They even lowered the system's good/evil rating to -91.
She was only in a coma for a month, what...what happened?!
##
"Let us out!"
"Help! Can someone open the door?"
"Don't take my things, don't touch my child!"
The cries of refugees fleeing from below the city wall drew Jia Xitong's attention, causing her to momentarily lose focus. "What are they doing?"
"They want to get out."
"If you want to go out, then go out. Why are you crying?"
"……Um."
With those words, the iron lock on the city gate cracked open.
All the people who had been blocking the entrance rushed out, scrambling to escape as if there were ghosts in the city.
[Current male protagonist's good/evil rating: -90]
The true system's voice sounded again.
Given the flawed way the true system calculates good and evil values, Jia Xitong plans to study it properly when she has more time. She skillfully jumped into Shang Yanting's arms, "Let's go, dear host."
Where to?
"See a doctor? Do you not want your eyes anymore?"
Are you going to sit here and starve instead of seeing a doctor if you're blind?
The thought of him going blind prompted Jia Xitong to take a rope from the talisman, let him hold one end and keep the other in her mouth, saying, "Slow down, don't let go."
After saying that, she led him down the road, and although they stumbled along the way, they were fortunately safe.
##
The city was utterly desolate.
None of the shops or inns were open, and every household kept their doors tightly shut.
There were also pedestrians on the road, some of whom were families preparing to flee, while others were robbing and looting.
Jia Xitong almost didn't recognize that this was Shang Moucheng.
She walked for a long time before finding a clinic. The clinic was closed, and Jia Xitong knocked on the door for a long time before it was opened.
The old man inside opened the door a crack, glanced outside, and then immediately closed it again.
"Our shop is closed today. Please find somewhere else to look for business, sir."
If one place is closed, then everywhere is closed.
Jia Xitong glanced at Shang Yanting, who was standing silently at the back, and then at the century-old brand with its prominent signboard. In the end, she decided to make the shopkeeper suffer a little.
She suddenly jumped up, gathering her faint spiritual energy in her legs and then kicking hard.
boom--
She kicked down the wooden door, and the old doctor stood at the door with a terrified expression.
"What's wrong?"
Shang Yanting frowned slightly upon hearing the noise.
"It's alright, the doctor has opened the door for us."
Jia Xitong, holding the rope in her mouth, brought Shang Yanting in, and even said very politely, "Excuse me."
"We're here for medical treatment, we have no ill intentions."
The old doctor's legs trembled slightly as he looked at the talking monster and the blood-soaked man behind it.
"We'll treat you right away."
The old lady in the room was calmer.
She first had the helpers inside reinstall the door to prevent anyone from barging in again. Then she took out her medical equipment, patted the old doctor on the back to signal him not to hide and to be firm.
"Your Qi and blood are too weak, and your liver fire is too strong. Your spiritual energy is disordered, which is compressing your meridians and causing you to experience blindness."
