Chapter 63: The mission must be completed. What can I do to save you and my system?

I got up from the bed and sat there for a few minutes, hoping that maybe I had just woken up and my ears were not sensitive enough, or maybe the system was disconnected and reconnecting.

When he was sure that there was only suffocating silence around him, Ye Man took a quick breath and a thought came to his mind.

——The system disappeared.

From one day on, the voice that had been circling in his mind completely disappeared. After he gradually realized this clearly in his heart, he slowly began to feel so nervous that it made him feel nauseous.

"Brother Tong? System?" He tried to call a few more times.

Still no response.

Ye Man pinched his palms, maybe the signal was bad, or the system was busy with other things and couldn't spare the time.

He tried to comfort himself, holding the quilt and lying back on the bed, trying to pretend that he had not woken up in the middle of the night. He slept until dawn, and when he woke up the next day, everything returned to normal, and the system began to chatter to him.

But the silence and darkness were too terrifying. There was no movement at all. He was lying alone on the bed, making the bedroom, which was not empty to begin with, become terrifying.

Five minutes later, Ye Man resigned himself to his fate and climbed out of bed, dragging the quilt with him, and crawled into the closet with grunts.

After closing the cabinet door and wedging his body into the corner of the cabinet, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"I won't go out until Brother Tong comes back." He leaned against a corner of the cabinet, complaining.

He wanted to show Brother Tong how serious the consequences would be if he left casually and without saying a word. If he didn't give him more points, there was no way he would get out of here honestly!

Ye Man had no intention of admitting that he was the one who woke up in the middle of the night and ran into the system when it was not there, and was ready to put all the blame on the system.

Now that everything is in the cupboard, I can finally sleep peacefully, right?

Ye Man found that he was suffering from insomnia.

This has never happened before. This is the first time that a method that has worked for so many years has failed.

He had no choice but to hold his cell phone, check the time every once in a while, and listen to the clock on the phone. He stayed like this until dawn, and he felt a little confused.

Ye Man heard a knock on the door in a hazy state. He was frightened and subconsciously wanted to find a place to hide, but found that there was nowhere to hide.

When the cabinet door was opened, he was instinctively weeping, preparing to deal with what was going to happen next. The blinding light shone in, and he heard someone calling his name in panic.

"Xiao Man! Big brother...he's here! He's fine!"

......

At ten o'clock in the morning, Ye Man had not come down from the upstairs. The Chi family thought that he had stayed up too late last night and needed to sleep more.

At twelve o'clock, no one came down, so Grandma Chi knocked on the door, hoping to get someone to get up and eat before going back to sleep. But no one answered from inside the room, wondering if they were sleeping too soundly and didn't hear anything.

Another half hour passed and I knocked on the door a second time, but still no response.

This time, Chi Jue was called. He knocked hard and shouted twice in a louder voice, but there was still no movement in the room. He turned the handle, but the door was locked.

"Maybe she slept too soundly." Chi Jue said this to comfort her worried grandmother, but he felt something was wrong in his heart.

Soon everyone in the family knew about it. Chi Yan asked someone to send the key to the room. When they opened the door, Ye Man was not in bed. There was no one in the bathroom, toilet, or cloakroom. Everyone in the family panicked.

"How could a good person just disappear from the room like this?"

The room was on the second floor, not very high. A young and strong guy might be able to climb out through the window, but Ye Man obviously did not meet this requirement. He couldn't even see, so how could he have such skills?

A group of people were searching around the room, and finally Chi Jue looked at the half-person-high storage cabinet under the bookshelf.

It's a bit ridiculous to think like this, but considering Xiaoman's size... maybe it's possible if she squeezes in.

He strode over and pulled open the cabinet door with force. A small ball of quilt corners fell out from inside the cabinet.

Chi Jue held his breath hard. The pale-skinned, black-haired boy huddled inside, like a frozen, still painting.

He supported the fallen body of the other person and quickly notified others - the person was found.

Chi Yan came over and saw this scene, and her breathing froze.

He bent his legs and squatted, carried the person out of the cupboard, and glanced at Chi Jue. Chi Jue immediately nodded and walked out quickly to contact a doctor.

"Xiaoman," Chi Yan called softly, "If you feel uncomfortable, tell big brother."

Ye Man was actually sober, but his reaction was slow and dull after staying up all night. He felt drowsy and soon realized that this was the Chi family's old house and the situation he was prepared for would never happen.

When he heard the familiar voices and knew who the people were, he relaxed.

That still made people around him feel nervous.

Even though Ye Man said that he was fine and just didn't sleep well last night, his family still called a family doctor to come and check on him to make sure that nothing was wrong.

Ye Man leaned on Chi Yan, a little embarrassed to let his grandmother feed him chicken soup, and secretly pulled Chi Yan's sleeve, wanting him to think of a solution!

He really just stayed up all night, there's no need to make such a big fuss!

"Let me do it, grandma." Chi Yan may have misunderstood what he meant. He took the chicken soup from grandma and asked her to feed her instead.

Instead of arguing about this, it is better to finish it quickly. Ye Man stopped struggling and actively cooperated with Chi Yan's actions and drank the whole bowl of soup.

Needless to say, the hot soup really relieved his tight stomach and made him feel much better. As his body warmed up, he felt sleepy after staying up all night, and he dozed off.

The elders of the Chi family wanted to ask him what happened, why he ran into the cupboard, what happened, and why he didn't call anyone.

Chi Yan motioned for others to stop talking and touched her brother's head: "If you are sleepy, take a nap. When you wake up, it's time to get up and eat."

Ye Man didn't have the energy to think too much, so he nodded randomly and added, "I'm sleeping on the sofa and won't go back to the room."

"Um."

Grandpa Chi was about to say something, but Grandma Chi pinched him and he was silent. Qin Fangrui looked around, took a wool blanket and pillow, and quickly spread them on the sofa. When Ye Man fell on the sofa, he fell into a warm and soft cloud.

He rubbed the quilt that someone had covered him with, and frowned unconsciously. A shadow was trembling restlessly on his eyelids, and the blue blood vessels showed through his cold white skin, making him look haggard and lonely.

"Brother Tong?"

"......"

Brother Tong is really gone.

......

It was evening when I woke up.

Ye Man still felt heavy, his reactions were slow, and his mind was like a mess.

Chi Yan was beside him and said something, but he couldn't hear clearly.

Ye Man was concentrating on thinking.

In fact, there were signs of this a long time ago. After the last mission failed, the system's contact with him became intermittent.

That's right.

He held his own hands.

The system was created to help him become a vicious cannon fodder and maintain the relationship between top and bottom. Ye Man failed in his missions one after another, and Chi Jue and Meng Yao's relationship did not progress. Naturally, the system did not need to continue to accompany him. It was only a matter of time before it would be disappointed in him, give up on him, and leave him.

The more Ye Man thought about it, the more absorbed he became.

He told himself not to panic, he still had time to do something to get Brother Tong back.

Mission, mission keeps failing...

......As long as he can complete a mission, the plot is not over and can be put back on track. Does Brother Tong have to come back and continue to assist him?

Ye Man's heart was beating fast.

He tried hard to recall what the system had told him. Where was the next mission node? What was it? What should he do?

Countless conversations and exchanges flashed through his mind, and Ye Man was sweating as he thought about it.

"...Meng Yao found an excuse and used someone else's words to invite Chi Jue to Svalbard to see the aurora. A snowstorm occurred, and the vacation plan that was originally scheduled for less than a week was delayed for half a month..."

"Chi Jue, Meng Yao, and all of you rich second-generations are here. After your troublemaking a few times, Chi Jue and Meng Yao slowly opened up to each other and became very close. You saw the ambiguity between the two of them, and you were almost jealous to death..."

"...You secretly cut off the power in the villa, and used the excuse of being afraid of the dark to lock yourself and Meng Yao in a room. As a result, not only did you accidentally lock Chi Jue and Meng Yao together, but you also got discovered by other rich second-generations who locked you up in the attic."

"You were locked up alone in the cold and darkness for a whole night, listening to the terrifying sound of a blizzard raging outside the attic window. No one paid any attention to you no matter how you cried. When you were released in the morning..."

Ye Man had no intention of thinking about the following words.

He only caught the most crucial sentences: Going to Svalbard, cutting the villa's electricity meter, and being locked up in the attic for a night.

"Xiaoman, eat something first." Chi Jue served some food, squatted in front of him, and said carefully.

Chi Jue saw that his face was pale and he seemed to be distracted. He didn't know what he was thinking about. That look made him feel uneasy.

After calling for a long time but the person still didn't come back to his senses, he almost took the person to the hospital. Chi Yan thought about it and contacted a famous psychologist.

As a result, when Chi Jue stood up, he was grabbed by Ye Man.

Finally there is a response!

Chi Jue turned around in ecstasy, and Ye Man asked him seriously, "Do you have any plans to go on vacation recently?"

Chi Jue was stunned: "No."

“......!”

Ye Man pursed her lips, tears welling up in her eyes, "No, no?"

Chi Jue gasped and squatted back quickly, sweating anxiously: "Yes! Where, where do you want to go?"

"It's not me who wants to go, it's you who wants to go..."

"Yes, I want to go," Chi Jue corrected himself, but he was immediately dumbfounded, "Where do I want to go——!"

Where does he want him to go?

Ye Man choked up: "Svalbard..."

"Oh, yes, Svalbard, I want to go to Svalbard—" Chi Jue stared at Dabu's bloodshot eyes and called Chi Yan: "Brother!"

Chi Yan took out her phone and said, "I asked Xiao Li to book a flight ticket. Svalbard... is in the Arctic."

Chi Jue: “…”

Seeing the reply, Chi Yan frowned: "There is expected to be a snowstorm in three days. I don't know how long it will last. There is no snowstorm at the moment... We have to leave when the weather is good. Give me some time to solve some problems."

Seeing Ye Man's nervous expression, Chi Yan softened her tone and said, "Relax, there is no problem that Big Brother can't solve."

Ye Man sniffed and nodded vigorously.

Chi Jue also breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately, Ye Man couldn't help but ask: "Meng Yao... not going?"

Chi Jue's eyes widened again: "Go! Let him go!"

After answering, he stroked his forehead.

No, what does it have to do with Meng Yao? Why did Xiao Man mention him?

After looking at Ye Man, the boy finally relaxed his tense body. Chi Jue swallowed back what he was about to say.

Grit your teeth and call Meng Yao.

I called for a long time but no one answered. Then I contacted a few mutual friends.

Chi Jue received some unfortunate news: Meng Yao was locked up by his mother.

Chi Jue gritted his teeth and looked at Ye Man in pain: "Xiao Man, Meng Yao, does he have to go..."

Ye Man replied in a muffled voice: "...I have to go."

"Okay, wait for me," Chi Jue rolled up his sleeves calmly, "I'll go to the Meng family and kidnap Meng Yao. Wait for me, second brother will be back soon."

There was a flash of coldness in his eyes.

He has to go to Svalbard whether he wants to or not!

Ye Man: “?”

Well, there is no need for kidnapping, right? There is something wrong with this plot!

After stopping Chi Jue, Ye Man learned from him that Meng Yao was imprisoned by the Meng family.

Woo...Brother Tong...

Why is this happening? Is there really no hope?

Ye Manhun sat paralyzed for a while as if all his strength had been drained away.

Suddenly I remembered something. I hurriedly took out my cell phone and made a call.

Ye Man thought he had done a good job. He felt uncomfortable, scared and panicked, but he tried to stay calm and rational, and successfully found a way to solve the problem.

When the call was connected, a familiar man's voice rang in his ears, and Ye Man shouted: "Ricardo..."

The person opposite him took a deep breath.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"Meng Yao has been locked up. He can't go to Svalbard with us..." Ye Man said dejectedly.

"You want Meng Yao to accompany you to Svalbard?" Xu Huaiting figured out the clue from his intermittent words.

There was no beginning or end to the question, and he didn't explain why he wanted Meng Yao to go to Svalbard. It was just this one sentence.

But Xu Huaiting did not ask, he just said: "What's the big deal to me? Who said Meng Yao is not going?"

Ye Man: "Will you go?"

Xu Huaiting smiled and said, "Yes."

"Don't cry."
