"Doesn't the host want the shortest way?"
"I'm very annoyed now, don't joke with me." Sometimes Fan Zhiyi really wanted to drag it out and beat it up, this damn system.
"The entire Zhaixing Tower is now locked by Bing Nandong's barrier. If the host wants to get out, this is the only way."
Fan Zhiyi: “…”
He didn't believe it and started looking for the gate.
This building was very strange. Fan Zhiyi couldn't find the entrance, so he returned to the top floor and tried to escape from the roof, but just when he was about to succeed, he was thrown back onto the soft bed. Fan Zhiyi did not give up and returned to his room to try to escape through the window, but as expected, it didn't work.
Finally, Fan Zhiyi returned to the bottom floor and looked at the ground beneath his feet in silence: "Is there a spell that can drill into the ground?"
"Yes, we have both spells and charms. Which one do you want to learn?"
“Which one is more studious?”
“They’re all hard to learn.”
Fan Zhiyi grabbed a handful of hair. Okay, okay, he was finally about to be driven crazy by the artificial intelligence in his head: "Sometimes I really doubt whether you are a traitor in the system world."
"...Please rest assured, host. I am a truly high-quality system."
“…”
Previously, he was busy looking for Bing Nandong. Since he couldn't get out for the time being, Fan Zhiyi sat on the ground, looked at the martial arts technique that Bai Bai had adjusted for him, and asked: "How is Bing Nandong doing inside the Ghost Gate now? What is it like inside the Ghost Gate? No!" Fan Zhiyi suddenly realized something. Bing Nandong's cultivation had not reached the peak. Even if he had reached the peak, how could he seal the Ghost Gate?
He was so frightened by his own flash of inspiration that his palms broke out in sweat. He didn't know how to say the next words: "What if Bing Nandong's seal fails?"
"According to the data collected so far, the male protagonist has not attempted to seal the Ghost Gate on his own. If we calculate based on the male protagonist's peak combat power, sealing the Ghost Gate will be no problem."
Fan Zhiyi was silent for a moment, analyzing Bai Bai's words word by word: "Why were you able to calculate Bing Nandong's peak combat power?" The system must have some important clues that it has never revealed to him.
“…”
He was silent again. Given the system's capabilities, it wouldn't be difficult to infer Bing Nandong's peak strength based on his current strength, but his silence at this moment made it hard not to wonder about the system's ulterior motives.
One good thing about his system is that he rarely lies. Silence often means that his questions are close to the correct answer.
So what is the truth behind all this? Has Bing Nandong ever reached his peak before?
Impossible. Even though I have lost my memory, based on my interactions with Bing Nandong over the past few days and all the signs I've seen, this speculation is not reasonable. Furthermore, if Bing Nandong had truly reached his peak, how could he have ended up like this?
"Assuming Bing Nandong and Guimen die together, the seal is considered successful, right?"
The system didn't care about Bing Nandong's life or death. They were trying to get him to have good intentions, improve his combat power, and finally seal the Ghost Gate. Not only did they have to keep him a secret, but they also had to use him as a middleman for every mission. Bai Bai knew Bing Nandong would listen to them.
Isn't this just asking Bing Nandong to willingly take the risk of death?
Shameless and treacherous!
Fan Zhiyi clenched his fists tighter and tighter. Bing Nandong was so clever, he must have guessed what the final goal of his mission would be, which was why he locked himself up here and went to the Ghost Gate alone. Bing Nandong's ghostly aura was growing stronger. His loss of control last night was because he had truly relied on the ghostly aura for rapid cultivation.
"There are still two months until your deadline, right?"
"Host, time has sped up."
Fan Zhiyi couldn't hold it in any longer and burst out: "What do you mean?"
"Because of the male protagonist's sudden involvement, the ghost gate opened much faster than expected."
Fan Zhiyi sneered: "You are really unreliable." Bing Nandong is in the ghost gate, so the only ones who can help may be Gao Xiao, Xiaoman and others, and the monk they met that day.
There's no point getting anxious here, and even less use getting angry. It'll just be a waste of time. Think of a solution, and put your brain to work!
Fan Zhiyi forced himself to remain calm. Things had already come to this point, and regretting was useless. This situation was his fault. He was too stupid. He couldn't see the big picture like Bing Nandong. Otherwise, he... what else could he do? His life was in the hands of the system.
Damn it! Fan Zhiyi couldn't help but punch the ground hard, and his spiritual power dug a small hole in the ground.
Why bother learning the magic of drilling into the ground? It would be faster to just smash the ground into pieces with your punches.
Bai Bai seemed to see through his intentions, and perhaps because of a sudden surge of conscience, she dissuaded him: "Host, this method is not feasible."
"I want to bring Bing Nandong back from the ghost gate." No matter what method.
"Indeed, the hero is not completely confident right now. It would be a waste of time to seal the Ghost Gate rashly."
"What I mean is, I won't let him seal the Ghost Gate until I make sure Bing Nandong can survive the act."
Bai Bai calmly analyzed: "But if the host resists completing the mission, he will be pulled out of the world."
"I didn't resist." Fan Zhiyi's thoughts were exceptionally clear. "I just wanted to work with Bing Nandong to come up with a more reliable solution."
"But you, host, clearly know that there is no other way out. When the time comes, this is the only way."
"Yes, there will be." Fan Zhiyi became upset again after being poured cold water on for nothing. "Why did the world develop like this? Why did I become such a useless person? Why can't I help at all and have to be trapped here, watching the person I like die in vain?" The more he spoke, the more angry Fan Zhiyi became, and he could hardly control his temper.
This is an unsolvable situation, and it has always been unsolvable. If Bing Nandong does not seal it, it will be just like what is described in the novel, with the gates of hell opening, all lives lost, the world destroyed, and he failing in his mission and dying; if Bing Nandong seals it, then Bing Nandong might die.
"Host, please calm down."
Fan Zhiyi closed his eyes, carefully recalling the events in the book and the clues he already had. Suddenly, an idea flashed on his mind: "Could Bing Nandong control ghosts?"
"Yes, but host, there are countless evil spirits in the Ghost Gate, and if they knew that Bing Nandong wanted to seal them all in the Ghost Gate, there is no guarantee that they would not riot."
"So the problem now is that Bingnandong is not strong enough. If he wants to become stronger in a short period of time, he can only rely on ghost energy training."
So, this is still a vicious circle that we can never get out of.
