"You, don't, think... This is my body. Don't think that I will give in just because you keep saying that you are Huo Xiao. I am the owner of this body. You were simply sent by the man with a blurred face! I don't know what you want to do, but if you want to hurt the person I love, I will never let it go!" Huo Xiao lay on the hospital bed, gritting his teeth. When he was about to give up, he reached out his trembling hand to touch Yan Xi's hand, trying to remind himself not to give up.
However, with this touch, the blue light of the black hair pendant on his neck suddenly flashed.
Huo Xiao screamed unconsciously and fell limply on the bed.
Hearing the sound, Yan Xi suddenly opened his eyes. As soon as he sat up, he saw a wisp of black smoke escaping from Huo Xiao's body.
System 5555: "Oh no, host, it's trying to run away!"
Yan Xi used his wood-type ability to try to catch it, but he didn't expect that the wisp of black smoke was so cunning that it scattered in all directions and disappeared the next moment.
System 5555: "Damn, it actually ran away!"
Yan Xi's expression was stern. "What on earth is this thing? It doesn't look like a human soul. It seems that it is not the original male protagonist."
System 5555: "If I'm not mistaken, the abnormal energy mass I sensed last time was this. Based on my detection, it should be a demonic system without self-awareness and being controlled by someone."
Yan Xi: "Evil Spirit System?"
System 5555 said gravely, "Yes, this type of system is usually crafted by evil spirits. It's a very evil system, not produced by our Spacetime Administration. My brother and his host encountered this type of system before, and he almost died protecting its host. It can devour other systems to increase its own energy, but I just discovered it doesn't seem to harbor ill will towards you. Otherwise, we'd have a fierce battle. But why is it targeting the hero?"
System 5555 fell into deep thought.
Yan Xi couldn't figure it out either.
But after careful consideration, he found that this evil spirit system did not seem to want him and Huo Xiao to be together.
But why?
Suddenly, Yan Xi thought of something and asked, "Do you think we will be discovered by the Heavenly Dao again?"
System 5555: "That's possible, but it's not right. If the Heavenly Dao really discovered us, it shouldn't send the evil spirit system to target the hero. It should target us and kick us out of this plane directly. Look at this evil spirit system, it controls the hero. Although it followed the original plot and got engaged to the heroine, it doesn't seem to have any intention of properly breaking up. Instead, it wants to use this to humiliate you and make you think that the hero doesn't love you. Don't you think so?"
Yan Xi analyzed its words and felt more and more depressed. "According to what you said, it seems that we are being targeted by another force."
System 5555 listened, feeling worried. "Yes, our situation is getting worse. Oh, and when I went to see my brother earlier, he told me to try my best to stand by you and protect you. Do you think he anticipated this?"
"Stand on my side?" Yan Xi grasped the key words, his eyes fixed, "I feel like your brother's words seem to have a deeper meaning."
System 5555: "Yeah, I felt the same way at the time."
Yan Xi lowered her eyes and looked at the unconscious Huo Xiao, her eyes darkening a little.
Why do you say you are on his side?
Normally, if he had anticipated that they would encounter difficulties, he should have only asked them to protect him. There would be no need to say these words again, unless the other party was another master of System 5555.
Only in this situation will you say whose side you are on.
System 5555's brother only gave a reminder but did not directly explain or step in to stop it, so this person's status in the Space-Time Administration must be no lower than his.
Who is above the director?
The Lord God?
But why would a Lord God care about a small tasker like him?
Even if they wanted to intervene, wouldn't it be enough to just let System 5555 wipe him out? Why bother with such a huge petition?
So what is his purpose?
Yan Xi's reasoning reached a dead end. The more he thought about it, the less he understood why. Instead, his head ached from thinking so much.
Yan Xi covered her head, cleared her messy thoughts, and after a long while, she raised her hand to help Huo Xiao up and laid him on the bed.
His eyes fell on the pendant on Huo Xiao's chest. He reached out and touched it, whispering, "Fortunately, I gave you this before. If it hadn't protected you, you might have been swallowed by the evil spirit system. I will never give it a chance to get close to you again."
Yan Xi bent down slightly, leaned over and gently kissed him on the lips, feeling glad for her previous decision.
——
The night was dark and there was a strong wind.
The wind was howling, and the man in ancient costume standing on the top floor of the high-rise building opposite the hospital noticed the wisp of black smoke that was fleeing wildly.
"I'm sorry, master, I failed." The black smoke trembled, as if it was very afraid of him.
The man in ancient costume had his sleeves fluttering and his long hair flowing. Upon hearing this, his eyes were cold and he crushed it with one hand, "Useless, you can't even do such a small thing. There's no point in keeping you."
It's strange to say, this Huo Xiao has followed Xier through so many worlds, but he is neither a demon, a monster, nor a god, and he can't even figure out this person's past and present life.
But no matter who this person is, he cannot stop his son from returning to the throne of God!
He looked up at the brightly lit hospital across from him, his lips curled slightly, "Fortunately, his abilities have almost awakened. I believe he will be able to go home soon."
Wei Xi, wait for me...
