Chapter 462 Why is it him?
Gu Jiayue was carried on his shoulders, and the bumpy ride made her stomach feel heavy.
She thought again and again with her confused mind, but she really couldn't remember when she had offended anyone.
Ever since she traveled to this Dagan, she has been living cautiously, avoiding leaving Taohua Village as much as possible, and rarely even going to the county town.
But every time I come to Juzhou City, nothing good happens!
She secretly swore in her heart: Even if the sky falls, she will never leave Taohua Village again!
"System, is there any way you can send a message to Jiang Luli and ask her to come and rescue us?"
In this situation, the only person Gu Jiayue could think of was Jiang Luli.
"Host, I can leave your consciousness and use my simulated body to find Jiang Luli and bring him to save you."
It is soul-bound to Gu Jiayue, and can accurately locate her position no matter how far away. "But if I'm too far away from you, if the kidnappers attack you, I won't be able to activate the defense system in time."
The system takes the host through various worlds, so it naturally needs to be able to protect the host. After all, seriously speaking, the host is an employee of their system world, and these days, good employees are hard to find.
The system's built-in defense function can withstand 80% of fatal damage when the host suffers external fatal injuries. However, this function can only be activated when the system is activated. If the system is not activated, it will naturally not be able to immediately detect whether the host is in danger or whether the damage received is fatal.
Gu Jiayue's heart tightened, but she still made a quick decision: "It's okay, I don't think this person has any intention of hurting me for the time being. Go and come back quickly, it will be too late if you are late!"
The kidnappers must have been quite skilled to have abducted her right under Jiang Luli's nose. With the system and her alone, she had no chance of escaping. She could only hope that Jiang Luli would bring someone to rescue her.
The system also knew the situation was urgent. "Alright! Host, be very careful. If you encounter any danger, try to avoid it. I'll be back as quickly as possible!"
As soon as the words fell, Gu Jiayue felt the connection of consciousness in her mind lighten for a moment.
The system has left her body and flew towards Juzhou City.
The system rushed back along the same route it came from, and the night wind made its simulated body tremble slightly.
After running back to the inn with great difficulty, I found that the front hall and kitchen were empty, without even a shadow of a person.
"Where did Jiang Luli go?"
The system was so anxious that it was pacing around the inn, scratching its head on the table in the front hall.
If it can't find Jiang Luli, who else can it turn to to save the host?
You can't just go find the innkeeper, right?
The shopkeeper is too weak to do anything, so it would be a waste of time if he went there.
Just when it was about to panic, it suddenly remembered the new function it had unlocked when it devoured Gu Yuchuan's system.
As long as there is a personal item of the target person, the other party's position can be located through the residual information on the item.
The system's eyes lit up and it quickly floated to the table in the corner.
Jiang Luli's luggage was placed there.
It immediately called up a new function, a light blue light swept across the luggage, and a string of data flashed quickly on the screen.
In just a moment, a clear route was formed, with the end point pointing to the General's Mansion in Juzhou.
The system did not dare to delay and quickly rushed to the general's mansion along the route.
When it arrived at the gate of the mansion, it crawled in through the dog hole in the corner of the general's mansion, avoiding the patrolling soldiers all the way, and finally saw Jiang Luli sitting on a chair at the door of the main hall.
The candlelight in the main room flickered. Jiang Luli frowned, his fingers tapping the table unconsciously, his face frighteningly gloomy.
The system quickly ran over and meowed at Jiang Luli's feet.
Come with me! Go save the host!
General Zhang, who was sitting nearby, was startled by the sudden appearance of the cat and quickly waved his hands: "Where did this wild cat come from? Quickly get someone to take it out!"
He knew from Jiang Luli's expression that the kidnapped girl was extremely important to him, and he couldn't let a cat bring bad luck to him at this time.
The servant outside the door heard the order, ran in immediately, and reached out to grab the system.
But the system was not a real cat. It was very agile, dodging left and right, avoiding the servant's hands, and finally jumped into Jiang Luli's arms.
Jiang Luli subconsciously raised his hand, wanting to throw the cat away.
He never liked raising these small animals because he thought they were troublesome.
But before he could do anything, the cat in his arms suddenly bit his sleeve and pulled its little head towards the door.
Jiang Luli was stunned for a moment, not understanding what the cat was trying to do.
General Zhang saw it clearly. He had a daughter at home and a cat in the yard. Whenever she was hungry, she would bite the hem of her skirt and drag her to the kitchen. He quickly said, "Your Highness, this cat seems to want to take you somewhere!"
Take him somewhere?
Jiang Luli then looked at the cat in his arms carefully.
It has snow-white fur and light blue eyes. It looks familiar, as if I've seen it in Taohua Village...
His heart moved, and he asked tentatively: "Are you the cat that Gu Jiayue raised? If so, meow twice."
"Meow!" The system immediately called twice, the sound was urgent and loud.
Jiang Luli's heart skipped a beat.
No, how could an ordinary cat understand human language?
Is it a coincidence?
He pressed on, "Is Gu Jiayue in danger? If so, call out three times."
“Meow meow meow!”
Now Jiang Luli was completely sure that the cat could really understand what he said.
He stood up suddenly and said to General Zhang, "Quick! Gather your troops and follow me on horseback!"
General Zhang did not dare to delay and immediately sent someone to urge the soldiers to assemble.
The system didn't waste any more time, jumped out of Jiang Luli's arms, and ran out of the general's mansion, looking back from time to time, afraid that they would not be able to keep up.
Jiang Luli and General Zhang rode their horses, following the system.
After leaving the city, Jiang Luli took out a bone flute and played it.
Soon, several dark shadows emerged from the darkness and followed the team.
Not long after, three thousand soldiers gathered and followed in a mighty force.
Under the guidance of the system, everyone soon arrived at a dilapidated temple outside the city.
The roof of the dilapidated temple was half collapsed, and the door was overgrown with weeds. When the wind blew at night, the temple door creaked, exuding an eerie atmosphere.
Jiang Luli waved his hand and ordered General Zhang to lead the soldiers to surround the ruined temple. He lowered his voice and ordered, "Surround this place completely and don't let anyone escape!"
The system could clearly sense that Gu Jiayue was in the ruined temple and was not in immediate danger of life.
It turned its head to look at Jiang Luli, confirmed that he already knew the host's location, then quickly ran to the grass not far away, put away its simulated body, turned into a ball of light that only Gu Jiayue could see, floated into the ruined temple, and entered Gu Jiayue's mind.
"Host! I'm back!" The system's voice was filled with joy. "Jiang Luli is outside, and he brought three thousand soldiers with him. He will be able to rescue you soon! Are you injured? Are you feeling unwell?"
It asked several questions in a row, but did not get a response from Gu Jiayue.
The system's heart sank, and it quickly checked Gu Jiayue's status.
Her eyes were clearly open, but her brain waves were unusually slow, as if she was in a deep sleep.
Further investigation revealed that her head nerve reactions were getting slower and slower, and she might disappear at any time!
"Oh no! The host may have suffered irreversible damage!" The system was in a panic. "No, we need to get Jiang Luli in quickly and take the host to see a doctor!"
It was just about to summon its simulated body again and run out to call for help, but suddenly it saw a man in black slowly turning around in the darkness deep in the ruined temple.
Even though the system was just a stream of emotionless data, it was shocked by this face and stopped, its voice trembling. "Why is it him?"
