With a ding, the system's voice spread again.
[Congratulations to the host for completing the physical contact mission. You have earned 10 points and your lifespan has been increased by one month, leaving you with three months of remaining lifespan.]
The word "three months" startled everyone who could hear the system's voice. Sun Wanying looked to be only in her early twenties. Could it be that she only had three months left to live?
Sun Wanying didn't expect the mission to be completed so suddenly. She didn't have time to talk to the system and quickly stood up. "Thank you."
Qi Shuo hummed and let go of Sun Wanying's hand. He just wanted to walk away.
Old Master Sun looked down at Sun Wanying's sprained ankle and asked, "How is it?"
"It's okay, Grandpa." Sun Wanying said that she was supported in time and the sprain was not serious.
Qi Jun glanced at Qi Shuo who was standing over and said to Grandpa Sun, "Let the young people talk."
Old Master Sun naturally had no objection. He left with Qi Jun on crutches, leaving Sun Wanying alone here.
She was a little embarrassed, not for anything else, but because she felt guilty.
Suddenly, she was bound to a strange system and was asked to find Qi Shuo to complete a task.
She didn't even know Qi Shuo. If her grandfather and the second master of the Qi family didn't know him, she wouldn't even have a way to meet Qi Shuo.
She didn't want to come originally, but her illness...
Sun Wanying pursed her lips and was about to say goodbye to everyone and go to the living room when the system started ringing in her mind again.
[New mission released. Please be alone with the target person for ten minutes, no more than two meters apart. The mission time limit is one hour. Completing the mission will earn the host 10 points and increase their lifespan by one month. Failure will deduct 10 points and reduce their lifespan by one month. Please complete the mission as soon as possible.]
It’s less than three hours, but I still need to be alone!
Sun Wanying opened her beautiful eyes wide, and swallowed the words she wanted to say to leave. She stood there at a loss.
Qi Shuo was also speechless about this. He instinctively looked at Qi Jing, but Qi Jing had already started running away, followed by Gu Zhou.
Qi Mo just smiled when he met his gaze, pulled the confused Huo Yuanqi away, and even closed the door considerately.
This change happened too quickly, and Qi Shuo could only watch. He wanted to leave, but the voice of the system kept coming back to his mind. It was only ten minutes alone, so he could leave.
Qi Shuo simply sat down, put away the chess pieces on the board, and asked without looking up, "Next game?"
Sun Wanying was wondering why the others left, but when she heard Qi Shuo speak, she agreed. Ten minutes for a game of chess was enough.
Outside the door, Qi Jing stuffed a main talisman inside, then put on headphones and went to the room upstairs with Gu Zhou and Qi Mo.
There has been no liveliness at home since Huo Yuanqi and the others came, so Huo Yuanqi didn't have any gossip artifacts at all. He just looked at them puzzledly and left. He didn't know why they were wearing headphones at this time.
After closing the door, Qi Mo crossed his arms and asked, "This system seems a little different?"
"I don't know either, but it seems like this system doesn't have any special influence. The only person it affects is probably Sun Wanying." Qi Jing tilted his head. "Judging from her facial features, Sun Wanying is indeed going to die."
Gu Zhou swiped his phone and said, "I checked and found a similar system in online novels, but what is the purpose of the system targeting Big Brother? Isn't Big Brother the villain? I just met the heroine yesterday, and now there's another system?"
Qi Mo's attention was not on this. He said, "I think we should confirm whether the system can change the target. If not, Sun Wanying can only complete the task through the boss. There is no way we can ignore a life.
In addition, if the system is arrested as before, what will happen to Sun Wanying?"
Gu Zhou raised the possibility, "She'll probably die! Sun Wanying's condition isn't fate, nor is she a soul from another world. She is who she is. Without the system's points and lifespan blessing, Sun Wanying will die, and soon!"
"She's about to die, why isn't Sun Wanying proactive at all?" Qi Jing didn't understand. Normally, a dying person would desperately grasp any hope, regardless of whether it was true or false.
But judging from Sun Wanying's attitude, she doesn't seem very happy?
Gu Zhou analyzed, "Sun Wanying is sick, but she's not stupid. This system has emerged, and it still wants her to be entangled with a man. In other words, her future will be forced to be spent on a man she doesn't know. Anyone with a little common sense wouldn't have such an idea."
Qi Mo nodded in agreement, "Whether to catch the system or not is another matter. Let's see if we can find a way to avoid the system and talk to Sun Wanying."
"I'll give it a try."
Gu Zhou took out a bunch of spell cards from the ring and started drawing. Previously, he was studying how to capture the system, but now he wanted to block the system's magnetic field. Theoretically, they were different.
Qi Jing sat beside him, watching Gu Zhou's conversation and listening to the voices in the headphones. He asked curiously, "Why is there no sound? Aren't they talking?"
"What can we say if we all have our own thoughts?" Qi Mo had a faint smile on his face and found it quite interesting.
Qi Jing thought about it and felt that this was the case, so he stopped worrying about it and lay on the table watching Gu Zhou draw the talisman carefully.
Blocking the signal is much easier than capturing the system. Gu Zhou finished the painting quickly. Sun Wanying was also eager to escape after waiting for ten minutes. However, the game was not over yet, so she was embarrassed to leave.
After waiting for a while, there was a knock on the door, and before they could say anything, the door opened.
Qi Jing poked his head through the crack in the door, and after making sure the system was still there, he squeezed in, followed by Gu Zhou and Qi Mo. Qi Mo leaned against the door with his arms crossed, just like Qi Shuo had blocked him from going out yesterday.
Qi Shuo glanced at Gu Zhou who was sticking talisman paper, stood up, and leaned back on the display shelf consciously, doing the same action as Qi Mo.
Sun Wanying had no idea what was going on, but she felt that the atmosphere seemed a little off. She stood up, but before she could say anything, she was interrupted by Gu Zhou.
"Don't be nervous." Gu Zhou put the last spell card on, stood behind Qi Jing and forced him to sit down, "Try calling the system and see if there is any response."
Sun Wanying opened her eyes wide in shock, "How did you know?"
"Try it first."
Sun Wanying tried it half-heartedly, but there was no reaction at all. She became even more confused and asked with a frown, "Am I hallucinating?"
"It's not hallucinations. We heard it too." Qi Jing picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Sun Wanying. "It asked you to have physical contact with Qi Xiaoshuo and be alone for ten minutes before we left."
Qi Jing's blunt words made Sun Wanying feel embarrassed. She held the teacup nervously with both hands. "I'm sorry, I really don't know what happened. It suddenly appeared in my head and made me do those weird things."
