Chapter 179 System Selection
After making such a big move and running away for such a long time, they are still staying in the palace.
Shen Yu sighed inwardly. He heard footsteps not far away, so he hugged his arms and hid behind the collapsed wall next to him.
"Surround this entire area! Remember, search every spot carefully, don't leave any corner untouched!"
"There is an evil spirit wreaking havoc in the palace, and the Queen is also an accomplice! Pass on His Majesty's decree, and all suspects must be beheaded on the spot!"
Shen Yu did not move when he heard the sound. He leaned against the back edge of the wall and looked far outside through the gap.
The guards in the palace were approaching them. It was dark at night and they could not see clearly. Only the burning torches were swaying randomly in the air. After entering the collapsed area, the guards split into four groups and searched every corner.
Shen Yu withdrew his gaze and walked further inward to avoid the burning fire that was getting closer and closer behind him.
Gu Suo Wei has not yet sensed the energy fluctuations of the coal ball. Now its system has been damaged and its size has shrunk. If it confronts the coal ball again, the situation will only get worse.
Shen Yu also understood the meaning of this. He quietly moved away and walked deeper into the cold palace along the wall. The cold palace was the farthest from Kunning Palace and the emperor's bedroom. These long distances could reduce the perception of coal balls to a certain extent.
Shen Yu finally hid in a corner of a pile of rocks, at the edge of which was a black river. The river seemed to be full of stagnant water, with no ripples or signs of flow.
Shen Yu covered his mouth and nose, he lowered his eyes to look at Gouqie Toutongsheng, and saw that the light on Gouqie Toutongsheng was gradually dimming, and it had reached the critical value. Shen Yu didn't say much, he directly gave it most of his Yang Qi value.
With a hissing sound, the purple light on his body lit up again.
"What should we do now? If we continue like this, we will be found by Meiqiu and his gang sooner or later." Gouqiu Tousheng was sad, "We can't live like this for another day."
Shen Yu didn't say anything. He looked at the silent black water under his feet in silence. After a moment, he heard the sound of dots and ticks on its data panel.
Shen Yu glanced at the data board in Gouqie Tousheng's hand. He saw that the two names on the board kept changing positions, and he couldn't help but frowned slightly: "Gouqie Tousheng... why did you write Wen Yu's name on it as well?"
It was natural for Wen Yu to live a life of his own: "Didn't you say before? You and Wen Yu are the same person, so if I tie you up, I'm tying him up, and if I tie him up, I'm tying you up. It's okay for me to tie you both up at once."
Shen Yu: “…”
"You want to earn two Yang points, right?" Shen Yu said coldly.
"You're talking nonsense! I didn't! I wouldn't be happy if the system didn't judge me as violating the rules!" Gouqiu Tousheng said unhappily.
"Do you know that I have to run back and forth to tie you two up? From outside the imperial city to inside the imperial city, I am exhausted! And Wen Yu's yang energy is even lower than yours. I have never seen such a useless male protagonist. His yang energy is even lower than yours. Sigh——"
Sighing, it numbly scrolled through the pages of the data tablet in its hand, and finally compared the data values of the two of them.
"Look, isn't Wen Yu's lower than yours? You still have at least 10,000 Yang points, but Wen Yu doesn't even have one tenth of yours..."
Before it could finish its attempt to survive, the alarm on its system suddenly sounded.
With a startled look, it and Shen Yu looked at the data panel in its hand and saw that the Yang energy value of Wen Yu suddenly rose after a moment's pause, from one thousand to ten thousand, one hundred thousand, and then continued to rise to over one million.
Shen Yu: "...He has no future?"
"Wow—" Gouqie Tousheng was greatly shocked. He patted the data board in his hand, suspecting that the panel had been invaded by a virus. "He can still rise?! He is really promising!"
"..." Shen Yu frowned, staring at the data on the panel for a long time, and asked, "How do you calculate this yang value?"
"Well... this is very mysterious. In addition to the most important energy, it also includes your controllability, stability, goodwill value, malice value, degree of blackening, etc." Gouqie Tousheng said.
Shen Yu: “For example?”
"I knew you wouldn't understand." Gouqiu Tuosheng was helpless. He patted Shen Yu's head and explained.
"Take my previous two hosts as examples. Their Yang Qi values were 10 and 250 respectively, both below 500, which means they had almost no vitality. However, they were stable and had a low degree of blackening, so they were low-risk hosts and could be bound by me."
Seeing Shen Yu looking up at it, it deliberately emphasized: "Not everyone can be tied up by me. I will only tie up those who are innocent and kind, and who died innocently."
Shen Yu thought for a moment and asked, "Then how did you tie me up?"
"Because you are also innocent and kind." Gou Qie lied with his eyes open, "and your purity is the highest among all my hosts."
Shen Yu: “…”
"According to what you said, when my Yang Qi rises, my personality will also be affected?"
"Oh, that won't happen." Gou Qie raised his opposing card, "This is a good rule. These Yang points will only make you more energetic."
Shen Yu: “…”
He shifted his gaze, slowly fixing it on Wen Yu's rising yang energy.
Instability... controllability... maliciousness... degree of darkness...
Shen Yu pinched his brows. He couldn't control the situation on Wen Yu's side now, and he didn't know what he encountered after he went out.
The people escorting the carriage were all Shadow Tower's shadows. If he met Mo Qianyu and had his arm cut off, his Yang Qi would go crazy...
Shen Yu was unwilling to speculate further. He listened to Gouqie Tousheng's words and vaguely grasped some key points: "Gouqie Tousheng, if... the host you bind is too unstable and completely out of your control, what will you do?"
"I will completely wipe him out." Gouqie Tousheng said coldly, "This applies to all systems."
Shen Yu didn't say anything else. He lowered his eyes and thought about something. Suddenly, he heard footsteps getting closer and closer behind him.
"Commander Mu, we have just searched this place, but have not found any trace of the Demon Queen."
"You go to the north and continue searching, and leave the south to me." There was an indescribable gloom and depression in Mu Yuyi's tone. He sent a team of guards to the north, and then walked alone towards the direction where Shen Yu was.
Gou Jue Tou Sheng immediately fell silent and hid in Shen Yu's sleeve, with the data bar on his body still jumping and sliding.
Shen Yu sensed that Mu Yuyi's footsteps were getting closer, so he exerted force with his arms and simply held the gravel in his hand tightly with one hand.
