137.
Ji Fengfeng has been feeling a little erratic lately because of a male voice that suddenly appeared in her head.
The voice called itself "System 2195" and said that her current life was fake. She said she was a player who had been clearing levels in the dungeon world to gain experience, but because of some accidental fall into this strange world, all her memories were blocked.
At first, she thought she was under too much academic pressure, and because she wanted to escape from studying, she had such outrageous fantasies...
But after several days, the voice still existed. Ji Fengfeng's mental state became worse and worse, and he could only begin to believe that he might be crazy.
For example, at this moment, this "System 2195" is still talking in her mind.
[Mr. Ji, please be careful. I've detected some strange fluctuations in the data nearby.]
Ji Fengfeng had calmed down. What was the point of arguing with a voice in his head? There was no prize even if he won.
But she had to admit that this 2195 was indeed capable. It could actually control computers and connect to the Internet. Its technology was comparable to that of the world's top hackers.
If what it said had not been so shocking, Ji Fengfeng would have thought that he had gotten lucky and had a golden finger.
After hesitating for a while, Ji Fengfeng was ready to ask.
[Ji Fengfeng: Didn’t you say you’re the player system for KB Games, and that KB Games has a scam management team that specifically rips off players? Then why are you helping me?]
System 2195 was silent for a long time before speaking.
[2195: After you forcibly removed me from the main system network, I merged with your consciousness.]
Ji Fengfeng suddenly realized: [We are grasshoppers on the same rope. If you want to survive, you must save mine?]
System 2195 didn't respond. Perhaps he was struggling to recover from the tragic past?
Ji Fengfeng didn't care much, and only sighed: "It seems I am still very smart."
[2196: Clever Mr. Ji, I've detected seven mutated nightmares on campus. Data indicates they're from another dungeon world. According to the KB Game Peace Treaty, data concatenation is extremely dangerous and could cause the dungeon to collapse.]
[Ji Fengfeng: Nightmare?]
[2195: Yes, the Nightmare is a magical beast created in the Immortal Cultivation dungeon. It possesses the bite and aggressiveness of a wild beast, but lacks intelligence and cannot cultivate to become a spirit.]
Ji Fengfeng wanted to continue asking questions when screams came from the direction of the dormitory building. Under the dim light, a large number of students rushed out of the dormitory building's fence gate. Everyone was panicked and terrified, and some even sobbed and cried.
[2195: Mr. Ji, I will immediately replace your prosthetic limbs with the original combat-grade ones. Do you agree?]
[Ji Fengfeng: Battle...battle type?]
[2195: Yes.]
In reality, they had inexplicably landed here after successfully clearing a supernatural dungeon. Upon entering this dungeon, an unknown force intercepted and trapped 2195.
In the end, it captured a string of numbers that were different from the unknown power and copy data. After analysis, it found a way to break out, otherwise it would have been trapped there.
After escaping, 2195 quickly found Ji Fengfeng through the consciousness connection, but Ji Fengfeng's memory had been tampered with and he had become a copy character.
Because it also lost data due to its forced breakout, it could only slowly repair the data in Ji Fengfeng's consciousness.
If 2195 hadn't noticed the trace of the nightmare, he would not have jumped out to tell Ji Fengfeng the truth.
After all, it doesn't have the ability to remove the constraints on Ji Fengfeng's memory now.
Ji Fengfeng was a little flustered, and she chose to retreat and escape with the crowd without hesitation.
[Ji Fengfeng: I'm usually pretty tough, but that's just an act to avoid getting bullied! I'm not a superhero, you want me to fight?]
[2195: You are!]
The tone was unexpectedly firm.
[2195: You have crippled legs and no awakened superpowers, so completing each mission requires you to work several, even dozens of times harder than other players. Yet, you are the first player to use your consciousness to block the connection between the player system and the main system. You also leverage the power of your consciousness to support my operations, making me even more powerful than before. Human willpower, when unwavering to this degree, becomes a superpower capable of moving mountains and filling seas!]
[Ji Fengfeng: You mean, I'm really disabled? There are players who awaken superpowers? But I'm a player without superpowers?]
[2195: Watch out to the left!]
A huge black shadow jumped out from the flower bed on the left. Ji Fengfeng subconsciously bent down and lowered his head. He dodged to the side and the black shadow passed by. A fishy smell came to his nose.
She didn't even have time to think about her body reaction, which was a familiar reaction that was almost instinctive.
Immediately afterwards, Ji Fengfeng felt a warmth coming from the skin where the severed limb and the prosthesis met. It was not the burning sensation caused by friction. This time there was no pain, but it was like a force slowly spreading throughout his body.
[2195: Since Mr. Ji did not respond to the question about replacing his prosthetic limbs, the system defaults to 'Agree'. Next, do you want to draw your weapons?]
arms?
Ji Fengfeng's expression was tense. In this situation, was she still allowed to refuse?
The shadow turned and pounced on her.

Lu Cai sat in the back seat, looking at the scenery outside the window. The window glass blocked out the noise, leaving only the gorgeous night scene of lights, which was very lively under the dark sky.
On the other side of the back seat sat her resentful brother, whose expression was even more uglier than hers, and who was also looking out the window with his head tilted.
There was a hint of awkwardness in the silence in the car.
"The case in your school has not been solved yet?" Gu Mengshu broke the silence first.
Lu Cai looked at Lu Jue beside him. He was probably not ready to speak, so he replied, "Well, we are still investigating."
"You should be more careful at school," Gu Mengshu reminded them. "Now that this has happened, many parents are considering transferring their children to other schools."
Transferring to a regular school may be the most suitable solution they can think of. The admission rate to key schools in the county is relatively high, and parents may not be willing to transfer directly.
"I will definitely be careful. I will always follow the crowd and never go to the laboratory building alone." Cai Lu was used to coaxing people, so he could easily say soothing words.
As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Jue beside her snorted coldly, as if commenting on her words.
She glanced at Lu Jue, but Lu Cai ignored her. She was not going to bother with this unlucky brother.
The car continued to speed along the dark asphalt road, and was driving up from one end of a long bridge. Looking outside the bridge railing, the deep and dark water surface was swaying, crushing the pouring lights.
Lu Cai stared out the window. The dark water surface shook violently. She frowned and saw splashes of water and something jumped out of the river.
She moved closer to the car window, trying to see something in the dark night.
Gu Mengshu glanced at the back seat through the rearview mirror: "What's wrong?"
Lu Cai wasn't sure what he saw, so he shook his head and said, "Nothing, probably dazzled."
Just as he finished speaking, the car behind him suddenly crashed into him. Their car tilted and the front of the car hit the bridge guardrail in the opposite lane.
Gu Mengshu quickly calmed down without any panic and quickly stopped the car.
The two people in the back seat also jerked, staring at each other with wide eyes in fear as the car stopped.
"What's going on?!" Gu Mengshu frowned, her tone slightly cold. She was about to get out of the car to argue when the door opened a crack and screams rang out one after another from behind.
Lu Cai quickly looked out the window and saw a giant beast with black smoke crouching on top of the black car that had hit the rear end of their car. The car swayed from side to side and rushed out of the bridge, breaking the bridge railing and falling straight down.
"Let's go!" Lu Jue on the side also looked towards Lu Cai's car window and saw what happened just now.
Lu Cai stood up and leaned on the seat, looking out the rear window. He saw a group of black smoke beasts rushing onto the bridge from behind.
Gu Mengshu decisively closed the car door, turned the steering wheel and drove the car to the other side of the bridge.
But they were not the only ones rushing forward. The cars catching up from behind were overtaking them at high speed, and the vehicles coming from the opposite direction turned around on the spot. For a moment, the narrow bridge was so congested that it was impossible to move forward.
The screams overlapped and continued to come.
Lu Cai felt his heart beating rapidly with fear. Suddenly, there was a loud "bang" on the roof of the car above his head, as if something heavy had stepped on it, leaving a dent in the steel roof.
There was another sudden shock, and the beast's sharp claws pierced the roof of the car. Half of the claw extended into the car and hung on the top of the back seat.
"Get down!" Gu Mengshu almost roared.
At that moment, Lu Cai's mind suddenly went blank, and she moved faster than she could think. She raised her hand to open the car door. Fortunately, there was still some distance between cars, and the gap between the doors was enough for her to squeeze out.
Standing outside the car, she turned around and saw the monster on the roof. Under the black smoke, only four claws were visible, and its full appearance could not be seen clearly.
The black smoke beast seemed to ignore Lu Cai who had escaped from the car, and concentrated on tearing the iron sheet on the roof - its target was still the person in the back seat.
Lu Cai looked around and found that the car on one side was empty. The driver inside had probably gotten out and ran away. She stepped on the car window, climbed onto the roof, took off her backpack, and threw it at the black smoke.
A high school student's backpack is so heavy that even a monster cannot bear it.
The beast's body was shaken by the blow, and it finally turned its attention to Lu Cai.
Lu Cai could only vaguely make out the outline of its head, but couldn't determine its condition. Seeing the black smoke move, she immediately turned around, stepped on the roof and jumped onto another car. Behind her, there was a "sizzle" sound, the sound of the monster pulling out its claws.
She ran as hard as she could, but she was only a high school student after all. Leaping over several cars that were close to her had exhausted her strength and slowed down her speed.
The thumping and bouncing sounds of cars behind him were already close to his ears. Lu Cai was distracted and his foot stepped on the hood of the car. He suddenly slipped and fell directly on the front windshield of the car under his feet.
Her limbs were filled with shaking pain, and her eyes went dark.
She felt the shadow of death approaching and struggled to get up. Before she could look back, a figure flashed past her and then the whole car shook violently.
Cai Lu turned his head and saw a tall and straight figure wearing the security uniform of the county's No. 1 Middle School. His legs were slightly bent, his hands raised above his head, and a circular red barrier was formed where his palms were clasped.
Her eyes fell on Lu Xiaoliu's wrist. The red string was emitting a faint red glow, like a faint warm sun, spreading hope.
