Chapter 160 The Main Characters—Shu Ning and Xiao Chong
"And what about your mother?" Shu Ning continued to ask.
“She…” Xiao Chong said after a moment of silence, “After hiding my father, she continued to fight the beastmen who wanted to kill him, and in the end, we could no longer find any trace of her.”
"Does your father know? Didn't he go to save her?" Shu Ning asked, frowning.
“He was already unconscious at the time, and it was the guards who told him,” Xiao Chong said, his eyes darkening. “Later, he searched many places, but he could never find any trace of her.”
Shu Ning finally understood why they had been staying in this abandoned beast domain.
She sensed his low spirits, placed her hand on his chest, and gently patted it.
A moment later, Xiao Chong took her hand, turned her around, and kissed her forehead.
"Ningning..." he called out in a low voice.
"Hmm?" Shu Ning looked up and responded, watching the possessiveness gradually surging in the depths of his silver-gray eyes, and feeling his breathing become more and more rapid.
Xiao Chong didn't respond directly, but his hands didn't stop; he continued kissing her nose, lips, and neck...
The next morning.
Shu Ning woke up from a sweet dream and looked at the handsome profile of the man beside her who was still asleep, his pale skin, long eyelashes, high nose bridge, and... the thin lips that had kissed her.
Suddenly, the image of the two of them entwined last night flashed into her mind, and she couldn't help but cover her face in embarrassment.
Suddenly, Xiao Chong turned over, hugged her tightly, buried his head in the side of her neck, and breathed on her neck.
Feeling Xiao Chong pressed close to her, Shu Ning reached out and placed her hand on his cheek, her fingertips tracing the texture of his skin.
Suddenly remembering that terrible nightmare, she asked herself, "007, what's happening with the main characters you mentioned before?"
“They’re in the forest now,” 007 replied immediately upon hearing Shu Ning’s voice.
"Didn't they say they'd only stay a few minutes? Why haven't they left yet?" Shu Ning frowned.
“They saw Mo Li transform into a dragon and decided to stay and watch,” 007 said.
“Host, you’d better not run into them,” 007 warned.
This was already beyond his capabilities.
"Okay, sure." Shu Ning nodded slightly.
But she still wondered, "Why? Aren't they human?"
“They are human, but they come from 50,000 years in the future from your original world. They carry highly advanced technology that you cannot compare to.”
"Fifty thousand years later...they'll still be human, right? Shouldn't human civilization in their era be more advanced?" Shu Ning asked doubtfully.
“That’s right, but no matter how sophisticated it is, human nature will never change,” 007 said meaningfully.
"As long as there is demand, emotions such as greed, desire, jealousy, and anger will still arise."
“Okay, then introduce them to me,” Shu Ning said. “It’s been so long, I don’t really remember them anymore.”
"Okay, here is the main character's information—"
Vilti, the female lead, is covered in high-tech gadgets. She is somewhat kind, but not much, and she likes Chess.
Elune, female character 2, enjoys thrilling, realistic killing games. She actively bound herself to the villain system, currently at level 0, relying entirely on herself. She is one of the system's hosts, and her first task is to kill a life.
Karisa, the third female character, enjoys the thrill of killing. She is arrogant, domineering, and ruthless.
Chess, male 1, is aloof, calm and silent, and not close to anyone. He is the first choice to succeed the next supervisor at the system headquarters.
Cronus, the second male character, despises everyone equally, including his companions, but outwardly maintains a peaceful relationship with them.
Caesar, the third male character, is violent and can't stand the laws of his planet. He disables the surveillance cameras on his body and enjoys indiscriminately killing people outside the planet.
Upon hearing this, Shu Ning felt a chill run down her spine. "007, quick, take me back!"
“Xiao Chong and the others were with us too,” she added.
“Host, your mission is not yet complete. You cannot forcibly unbind the system,” 007 said. “ Nor can you take them away.”
"They're all villains! How can a recent female college graduate like me possibly fight against these top-tier bullies!" Shu Ning thought bitterly.
"Don't worry, host, as long as you don't run into them, everything will be fine," 007 reassured him.
"Wait, 007, you said Elune is bound to a villain system? Then who is the system that helps her achieve her goals?" Shu Ning asked, "It's not you, is it?"
"It is I," 007 replied proudly.
Hearing this, Shu Ning felt a mix of emotions, her mind racing. Suddenly, she realized something and her pupils dilated in surprise.
"007, you told me her information, but you didn't tell her mine too, did you?"
"Don't worry, host, she's currently at level 0 and isn't qualified to know these things yet," 007 replied.
"So, if her level is above level one, she'll know about me?" Shu Ning asked.
"It depends. If she behaves well..." 007 paused deliberately, "it's not impossible."
At this moment, Shu Ning felt like the sky was falling. Then, thinking of something, she asked, "007, what does 'Chesel' mean as a candidate for supervisor of the system headquarters?"
“They’re from the same era as me,” 007 replied.
"What!?" Shu Ning exclaimed in surprise, "Then..."
She wanted to ask more questions, but the amount of information in her mind was too much for her to process.
"Aren't they characters from the book? How come they're from the same era as you?"
“That’s right, Ningning. You were reading a novel that foreshadowed the future. The main characters were not only characters in the novel, but also real people living in the same era as me.”
“Actually, I originally wanted you to be put into the villain system,” 007 replied.
"But considering your past life, I've thought about it and still think it would be better for you to travel to this beast world to do strategy, which suits your personality."
"Wait, wait, wait, you said they are humans living in the same era as you. Aren't you the system assistant?" Shu Ning frowned.
“I am the system assistant, the assistant,” 007 emphasized.
Shu Ning couldn't believe her own guess. "So what I'm actually doing is a strategy mission, but you, who are helping me complete the mission, are also human?"
“That’s right,” 007 replied.
"Huh!?" Shu Ning was speechless.
Shu Ning's pupils widened in shock. Thinking back to when she was with them before... didn't he already know everything?
"What's wrong?" At this moment, Xiao Chong sensed Shu Ning's movement, looked up at her, and asked with gentle concern.
Shu Ning quickly recovered from her surprise and looked at Xiao Chong: "It's okay, Xiao Chong."
Xiao Chong smiled slightly, patted her head, put his elbow beside her, and looked at her worried expression that she couldn't hide. His voice was deep and magnetic as he said, "Tell me whatever's on your mind, okay?"
