At the start of this summer vacation, Sun Kaicheng was called away with a mission, and the two of them actually guessed right.
"That...that person named Shao Yifang has been released?" Just like Qian Wangcai, they were released because they were no longer useful?
Sun Kaicheng shook his head: "It's probably still on Shao Yifang. Just like the twin eggs need a carrier, if they could break free from Shao Yifang, they would have changed hosts long ago. The fact that they were caught like this means they probably can't change hosts anymore."
"Then tell me, will this person have a chance to come out again?"
"The chances are slim."
The two exchanged a glance and understood each other's meaning. They had to keep their secret tightly under wraps and never let anyone find out, otherwise they would suffer the same fate as Shao Yifang.
"We all guessed that this kind of system needs to accumulate something through tasks so that it can have the power to cause trouble. Now that people have been arrested, how can they continue to do tasks?"
"Tell me, what kind of tasks does that system make you do?" Qian Xiao was most curious about this. Novels always describe things like absorbing other people's luck, but how do you do that?
"I only vaguely heard some things, saying that during the last period of Shao Yifang's life in the village, several of the more outstanding children were injured, either with broken legs or broken arms."
Qian Xiao's eyes widened in shock: "You mean, getting hurt is her mission? What's the point?"
He also wanted to know what the motive was. But he couldn't figure it out. He asked Shuangdan, who was also part of the system, but Shuangdan couldn't answer either.
"Could it really be related to that mysterious and mysterious luck, just like we guessed at the beginning?"
"Who can say for sure? We don't understand those metaphysical things." Neither of them knew anything about metaphysics.
Shao Yifang, who was being discussed by the two of them, is now on the verge of going crazy. She is being pressured by her superiors to buy or exchange with the so-called system and get more useful things to study.
The problem is that after the last machine was put together, the so-called system stopped making any noise. If it weren't for the occasional hissing or crackling sound, she would have thought that the thing was gone.
She's been spending all her time alone and is still being forced to contact the system, which is pretending to be dead. It's as if everyone is pressuring her. Now, she's probably just one straw away from going crazy.
The system is also helpless. The tasks it issues are all for the purpose of obtaining energy for itself. Now that the energy source is gone, how can it keep making things out?
It panicked. If it had just ignored these people from the beginning, it could have safely left the host and found a new one after the host died.
As a result, the energy is now depleted, and it's uncertain whether it will even have the chance to meet the next host.
Regardless of whether the system regrets it or not, its current situation indicates that there will be no next time.
...
As Qian Xiao walked into the alley carrying her things, she suddenly felt as if someone was about to attack her from behind. She quickly moved to the side, and then someone suddenly appeared behind her, almost causing her to fall.
Qian Xiaoyi exclaimed, "Oh my god, isn't this Sun Kaicheng's third sister, Comrade Sun Cheng?" He quickly withdrew his kick and reached out to pull her back, otherwise she would have fallen flat on her face.
"Sister Cheng, it's you? You didn't say anything. I thought someone was going to attack me from behind. If I hadn't been carrying something, you would be lying on the ground by now."
Sun Cheng steadied himself and patted his chest: "My god, that scared me! If I had landed face down, I would have been disfigured!"
"I just got back, and when I looked up, it was you. I was thinking of suddenly tapping you on the shoulder to scare you, but who would have thought you would suddenly dodge?" She almost fell to the ground from the impact.
Thinking of this, Sun Cheng quickly looked around to see if anyone had seen what she had just done. She was very concerned about her image, you know. Here, she was always like the big sister. If others saw her make a fool of herself, how embarrassing would that be?
Seeing that no one was around, Sun Cheng breathed a sigh of relief: "Why did you come alone? Where's Chengcheng?"
"Sister Cheng, I have a question." Qian Xiao didn't answer Sun Cheng, but instead thought of a question.
"Go ahead and say it. Why are you being so polite with Sister Cheng? I treat you even better than my little brother," Sun Cheng said in a big sister tone.
"Hey, look, you and Sun Kaicheng both end with the character 'Cheng,' they're homophones but different characters, and your nicknames are similar too. Won't there be a scene where someone calls out 'Chengcheng,' and you both turn around at the same time?"
Tell me about this name, with so many characters, why did you have to choose a homophone?
Sun Cheng rolled her eyes, thinking this girl wanted to ask something else, but it was nothing.
"My nickname is Chengcheng, and mine is Xiaochengzi. They're completely different, you wouldn't mistake them for each other. You haven't answered me yet, why are you the only one here? Where's Chengcheng?" This guy always tries to be friendly with Xiaoxiao whenever he has time.
"I'm busy, you guys know that, right? What? You're not letting me visit your house just because your brother isn't here?"
Sun Cheng put his arm around Qian Xiao's shoulder and said, "How could that be? Isn't it a bit strange? You two are usually inseparable, so it's quite unusual to suddenly see someone else like this."
"That's as if we're cobblers who're always together. We rarely see each other at school because we're different ages and don't attend classes together."
"Weren't you supposed to be off today? Why did you go out so early?"
“I went back to my grandfather’s house yesterday and just got back.”
“You didn’t go looking for someone to fight with, did you?” Sun Kaicheng said, recalling that the person who went on a blind date with Sister Cheng lived in the compound.
Sun Cheng stumbled as she walked: "Why does that brat Sun Kaicheng tell you everything? Is your sister Cheng really that tasteless, chasing after people to beat them up? I just haven't been back to see my grandparents in a long time, so I went back to see the two old folks."
"Oh~~" This life is full of twists and turns, and it contains other meanings.
Sun Cheng tapped Qian Xiao on the head: "Don't overthink it. I haven't even asked you yet. How are my grandparents doing now?"
"Don't worry, everything's fine. At this time, it's actually better to be in the countryside than in the city. Even if there's not much food, there's plenty of food to eat on the mountain. Besides, there's no shortage of food."
The last sentence was spoken in a breathy voice. At this time, people were quite sensitive about food, so she dared not say it out loud.
"The old couple are always smiling, and they seem to be in better health than when I first arrived." Indeed, they're always strolling around, smiling and without a care in the world.
"That's good. It's too far away, and it's difficult to visit them. I'll go with you to visit Grandpa and Grandma this winter vacation."
