Yan Xi sat by the window in the cafe, his eyes fixed on the phone on the table.
He is waiting.
Waiting for Mrs. Duan’s call.
But after three hours, there was still no movement.
Yan Xi's anxiety reached its peak.
"It's over, it's over. She must have misunderstood my hint and threw the tissue away like it was just another one." He leaned weakly against the sofa, his eyes dull. "It looks like this approach won't work. We can only find a way to sneak into Duan Lingxiao's hospital ward."
System 5555: "This is the only way we can do it now, but I'm worried Duan Junchen will be even more ruthless."
Upon hearing this, Yan Xi angrily slapped the sofa and took a swig of coffee. "Duan Lingxiao is already like this, what else does this vicious man want to do? What can he do?"
System 5555: "A man as vicious as him is capable of so many things. For example, shutting down the game would leave Duan Lingxiao's consciousness trapped in the game system forever, with no way of waking up. And think about it, once the game is shut down, even if Duan Lingxiao's body is intact, wouldn't he still be dead?"
Yan Xi: “!!!” I can no longer use the word “need” to describe my anger.
"Damn, no, I have to find a way to prevent the possibility you mentioned. Otherwise, if Duan Lingxiao dies, I won't be able to complete my mission. Then not only will he die, but I will be buried with him." Yan Xi paid the bill quickly, picked up his phone and left.
System 5555, however, was slightly stunned when he heard his words for a long time before speaking, "You are so worried about the hero and so emotional, is it just because of the mission?"
Yan Xi walked quickly while replying, "Why not? What else could it be? As a mission leader, shouldn't you prioritize the mission?"
System 5555 was silent for a moment, then asked, "The male protagonist said that if he could wake up, he would definitely find you and marry you. He likes you very much."
Hearing this, Yan Xi paused. Looking at the bustling streets and listening to the shrill honking of cars, a sense of bewilderment welled up in his heart. After a pause, he continued walking, "I know, but this matter is based on the mission. Without the mission, these things would be impossible."
System 5555 listened, and then closed its mouth again as it wanted to say something.
Yan Xi stopped a taxi on the road, and when the car stopped, his cell phone suddenly rang.
He quickly looked down, stepped aside and answered the call, "Hello, who is this?"
"You should know who I am. I saw the words on the tissue. Let's meet tonight."
The gentle voice was like the sound of nature, and Yan Xi was indescribably excited. "Okay! When we meet, I'll tell you everything I know!"
“Ding Di——”
"Sir, do you want to get in the car or not?"
The driver of the taxi next to him looked at him impatiently.
Yan Xi waved her hands quickly, looking apologetic. "No, no, sorry to bother you."
Upon hearing this, the driver drove away.
Yan Xi didn't care about all this and returned to the cafe happily.
There was no point in going back. He would just sit here and wait for Mrs. Duan to get off work.
Time passed by minute by minute, and this day seemed to be particularly long.
The agreed time finally arrived.
Mrs. Duan hurried over and arrived as promised.
Yan Xi told her everything about himself and Yan Ziyuan. Of course, he always said that he was using the virtual image of his game account to get along with Yan Ziyuan, and he did not tell the truth.
"... Ziyuan... No, it was Lingxiao. He told me everything about him and Duan Junchen. He's always wanted to return to the real world, and there was still hope. But now the entire network of the game "God of War" is undergoing maintenance, and I'm afraid he's in danger. So, Mrs. Duan, I hope you can take action as soon as possible and help him through this difficult time."
Mrs. Duan's eyes were red, and she choked up a little: "Okay, I will do it. Thank you for telling me this."
"It's okay. He and I have a special relationship. I'm already very grateful that you didn't dislike me. No need to thank me. It's what I should do." Yan Xi smiled and shook his head.
At the same time, Duan Junchen and his employees fixed the game bug as quickly as possible, then packed up and prepared to go off work to meet Huo Yi.
But just as he left the garage, he thought of a problem and dialed a number, deliberately lowering his voice. "Dad, there's something I need you to take care of. I think you saw the news. He's about to wake up, and I'm afraid I can't control him this time. Besides, I also found out that he has an assistant, even though he's a useless piece of shit. But it's better to be safe than sorry. We'd better make sure he never wakes up."
