Chapter 293 A Battle of Fate, Winner Takes All
Otrus's dog-like face was quite interesting; it was showing extreme terror at that moment.
“I’ve never encountered anything so strange before… Logically speaking, whether it’s Xiao Yichen or Yi Mohan, they should just be NPCs in this world… at most, NPCs with strong luck… only Ye Si, we guessed at the time that he might be another mission participant, which is why we couldn’t romance him, but even if he is a mission participant, he shouldn’t be this terrifyingly strong…”
The two-headed dog seemed completely baffled.
Whether it was Xiao Yichen, Yi Mohan, or Ye Si, each of them exceeded their expectations.
Fang Ke's eyebrows twitched slightly, gleaning a message from his words. Instead of immediately pressing for an answer, she simply followed up, "Oh, what do you mean?"
Just waiting for her to ask, Eutrus really wanted to complain, especially to someone who knew the situation, so he recounted all the unlucky things that had happened to him in the past few days.
"First, there's Xiao Yichen, right? You probably already know about it. I don't know what that old bastard Heavenly Dao did, but anyway, your progress bars for conquering Su Yao are reversed. When you succeed in conquering her, her progress will decrease."
Fang Ke narrowed her eyes. This was yet another piece of new information. When Xiao Yichen's favorability rating was reset to zero, and hers also dropped to zero, she had briefly suspected something.
However, because Xiao Yichen's progress bar turned gray and showed that he could not be completed, Fang Ke also thought that this was a manifestation of a malfunction.
Unexpectedly... it was actually inversely proportional to Su Yao's dynamics.
"So you must have seen it immediately: Xiao Yichen's progress bar has turned to 0."
Fang Ke smiled, pretending that she already knew everything, "Indeed, I was quite surprised. Why would Su Yao do that? Was it just a stupid mistake?"
Otrus looked resentful. "Who says otherwise... but this is all thanks to you..."
Fang Ke tightened the chain around his neck. "Who gave you this?"
Otrus struggled frantically, "Stop, stop, stop! It's all thanks to our stupidity..."
He stuck out his tongue, looking utterly miserable. "At first, I didn't believe in superstitions and insisted on provoking you... We also thought you might just be a W707 mutant, which is why you have some special abilities... But later..."
Later, she was proven wrong when Fang Ke captured three skill cards in a row, and not by violent destruction, but by taking the skills to her side, which was outrageous.
This operation can only be performed by the mission taker, so Otrus adjusted his response plan immediately, but he did not expect to encounter the even more wicked Xiao Yichen.
Fang Ke said, "Since you initially thought I wasn't a mission taker, how did you know we both had affinity bars, and that they were reversed?"
"As for speculation, I've been working with systems for so many years and have seen quite a few situations. What you're doing is called a clash of fortunes. In short, the winner takes all, and the winner can take away all of the opponent's fortunes."
"Moreover, Su Yao's progress bar keeps decreasing, while the relationships between you and the various NPCs are getting better and better. Isn't this a direct negative correlation? As it turns out, I guessed right."
Fang Ke smiled slightly. "That's interesting."
Otrus's words just now were actually a test; the system is indeed more intelligent than Su Yao.
"You're saying you can't win over Yes?"
However, Ye Si had a favorable impression of her, and Fang Ke hesitated for a moment, feeling that Ye Si might be hiding something from her.
"Yeah, Yes has always been grayed out and frozen in Su Yao's favorability list, making him impossible to win over. So you're pretty amazing to have managed to get this guy."
Fang Ke remained silent, while Otrus sighed, "But this Yes is also a strange character. I can't figure him out. Let's talk about him later."
"Actually, it's quite normal for mission participants to fight and struggle in the training grounds... I just didn't expect it to start so early this time, in the ordinary world..."
"If W707 continues like this, it will definitely not be able to withstand the Honkai, and it might just turn into another training ground of scorched earth..."
Are you kidding me? In an ordinary world, there are two mission takers: one who seems to be a super mission taker (Ye Si), one who has some kind of weird thing on him (Xiao Yichen), and one whose soul has some kind of weird thing on him (Yi Mohan)...
That's incredible!
If this world doesn't collapse, he can hang himself upside down.
"Aren't you getting off-topic? Let's get back to Xiao Yichen. What did you encounter with Xiao Yichen?"
Otrus paused for a moment and said, "Yes, the strange Xiao Yichen, after his favorability was drained..."
They circled back to square one, and Otrus couldn't help but complain, "Su Yao's attempt to trap you that day failed, and you ended up outmaneuvering her with your stealth. When she woke up, she almost made the headlines naked. You should at least admit to what you did, right?"
Fang Ke smiled and nodded, "How about it?"
"...You went too far. If I had a host like you, I would have already slaughtered everyone in the world."
Fang Ke stared at him with disdain, "You're a bit ugly. I still prefer my little dumpling."
"..."
Otrus was panting heavily, furious. "Anyway, in order to save her, she used up Xiao Yichen's favorability and exchanged it for an item in the system shop that can erase everyone's memories."
Fang Ke suddenly realized, "Oh, I see."
"This is extremely unwise! That prop was just an ordinary prop, and it's obviously impossible for Su Yao to regain Xiao Yichen's favorability... When she saw Xiao Yichen again, he seemed to have mutated, as if he was possessed by some kind of ghost."
Fang Ke asked, "Isn't Xiao Yichen a complete native?"
"That's how it should have been, but his favorability was forcibly taken away by the Alliance Mall. I suspect that Xiao Yichen's essence was also taken away by the Alliance, so he has now become an empty body. Anyone can possess him, even me... I might be able to control him."
Fang Ke's eyes darkened. "And then?"
"When I saw Xiao Yichen again, he seemed perfectly normal at first, and even had a meal with Su Yao. Now that I think about it, it was like a last meal before his execution..."
"...Could you use less description? Get to the point."
"Okay, in short, after he pretended to be a warm and gentlemanly man, he revealed his true colors. I don't know what he used, but at that moment I saw a terrifying energy emanating from him. He just asked Su Yao how much she loved him, and Su Yao, still trying to win him back, said a bunch of cloyingly sweet things, but Xiao Yichen was completely unmoved and just said..."
Let me see how many souls who love me reside within this body of yours.
"As soon as he finished speaking, we were pulled out of our bodies and sucked into the Dark Realm by an object."
Fang Ke seemed to be deep in thought, and looked around. "Is this the place?"
Otrus nodded, and as Fang Ke turned his head away, a snake tail appeared behind his dog body, the tip of which turned into a snake head, revealing fangs.
Hellhound, with two heads and a snake's tail, is a shape described in mythology.
Otrus wasn't joking. During his conversation with Fang Ke, he had already clarified his next goal: to directly bind Fang Ke's soul in this space!
As for the incredibly weak system on Fang Ke's body, it can serve as nourishment for him and satisfy his cravings.
The two-headed dog couldn't help but drool, and its snake tail slowly approached Fang Ke at a speed that Fang Ke wouldn't notice.
He continued telling the story to keep Fang Ke's attention, "Yes, it seems that the dark realms are interconnected. After we were sucked in, because Su Yao's soul power was weak, she was constantly attacked and devoured by various monsters..."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "Fang Ke is so good! He's been here for so long, and just because he's been by Fang Ke's side, these monsters don't dare to come near them!"
This is the benefit of a powerful soul!
Moreover, Fang Ke was able to deploy three cards simultaneously on such a large scale, demonstrating his terrifying mental strength.
Otrus was getting more and more excited and couldn't wait to bind with Fang Ke.
"Just when we were about to despair, Yi Mohan actually came to this place. He's such a devoted lover, I was almost moved to tears by him... But Su Yao and I have to survive, so we have to absorb his luck and energy... But unexpectedly, this time, there's been another damn problem."
