No matter what, this time, I finally got the dormant body by myself.

Li Yuebai weighed the small black coffin that he had snatched from Wang Wen and felt it was very strange. It was the first time he had seen an unopened coffin. It was neither light nor heavy, neither big nor small. He had no idea what the dormant body inside looked like...

The small black coffin was tightly closed, with several familiar silver chains tied on it - sealing silver chains, which looked exactly the same as the one that killed Xu Lili.

Strangely enough, this time, the dormant body did not use any mind control ability. It did not control Zhuo Zhuo, Wang Wen and Xiao Tian, ​​nor did it control Ye Qing and himself. It was completely different from the previous dormant bodies that desperately stretched out their thoughts to control others at the first opportunity. Why is this so? Do dormant bodies have different personalities? Of course, there are definitely different personalities, but the desire to "escape and possess" should be very strong, right? Only this one does not seem to have such a strong desire in this regard.

Whatever the case, hand it in and study it carefully, and you may get the result.

Speaking of which, everything went surprisingly smoothly today.

Ye Qing avoided the mission from Yongfeng Company. When the people in the bureau were carrying out the mission, they were also on guard against the dormant body and were equipped with complete tools and weapons, so they were more than capable of dealing with it. This was a battle without suspense.

In other words, Ye Qing will not become a vampire as in the original plot.

Li Yuebai put the small black coffin into his shirt pocket and planned to deal with the rotten stall with Ye Qing.

Zhuo Zhuo was just confused and his life was not in danger. Gao Chengyu's two men could be legally detained...

The food at home is almost gone. Should I buy some when I pass by the supermarket later...

And what are the next steps?

A lot of mess came to my mind, and for a moment I felt a little annoyed.

Ye Qing at the end of the corridor put away his gun and walked towards him quietly.

Li Yuebai suddenly felt that he was lucky.

Although the male protagonist I met in the first time was a bit weird, making it hard to figure out his nature and clinging to me in a sticky way, he was always there to assist me and did everything according to my instructions, which was very smooth and touching.

Now in the second time, the male protagonist is more reliable. Not only is he reliable, he is not as clingy as in the first time. He has always been calm and provided long-range fire support, and his bullets never missed.

It's a rare opportunity that the system didn't cause any trouble today.

Everything went so smoothly.

Li Yuebai raised his right hand and walked towards Ye Qing with a smile, intending to high-five him, although he would most likely be ignored by Ye Qing...

There was a strange buzzing sound in his ears, and it took Li Yuebai a few seconds to realize that something was wrong.

They were now standing in a hallway with bulletproof glass windows to their right.

Everything seemed to be a little wrong.

A large group of dragonflies with blue wings flew over from somewhere, landed on the window, and stopped at the edge of the glass and window frame, motionless. At first glance, it looked like a large field of flowers.

Looking down through the window, you can see people downstairs - there are security guards who are still looking for Zhuozhuo for unknown reasons, and tourists who are just here to visit. People were originally fine and normal, but suddenly they were running away in all directions, waving their arms and screaming. Unfortunately, I couldn't hear what they were shouting or saying through the glass.

There is a decorative pond in the square downstairs, which is filled with colorful koi. Now, looking from afar, Li Yuebai seemed to see countless koi jumping out of the water, jumping high in the air, and then falling back into the water.

What a mess! Is this still Earth? What is going on?

Li Yuebai had lived such a peaceful life that it took him several seconds to understand such an obvious sign.

"Xiao Ye!" After realizing what was going on, Li Yuebai suddenly shouted, "Let's go!"

Earthquake! It was an earthquake!

The Earthquake Bureau had no previous forecast!

There are no reminders in the system!

There was no such thing in the plot summary of the previous life!

And suddenly there was an earthquake!

There was a dizzying sound, followed by the sound of bursting water pipes, falling bricks, and flying dust.

This building is an important one. It was designed to be earthquake-proof according to Class A standards before it was built, so generally speaking, there won't be any major problems...

Generally speaking...

There were loud noises and violent shaking everywhere. Li Yuebai felt his eyes go dark for a moment and he stumbled forward, not knowing whether Ye Qing was following him. After a brief confusion, the violent shaking gradually subsided.

It is clearly written in textbooks and escape guides that earthquakes do not occur in just one wave, so when the first wave of shaking stops, you must quickly escape to an open area.

Li Yuebai got up from the ground with great difficulty and turned back to look for Ye Qing.

The quality of the building is indeed good. There are a few cracks on the wall and the pipes are burst, but overall, it is not serious.

But what's with that pool of blood on the ground?

When the dust cleared, Li Yuebai could see the scene clearly.

His extremely reliable teammate, the male protagonist Xiao Ye, fell in a pool of blood and died.

The building, which was designed to be Class A earthquake-resistant, was renovated some time ago and a metal pipe was installed.

In the earthquake just now, the heavy pipe loosened from the ceiling above the corridor and fell down, hitting Ye Qing.

Li Yuebai's ears buzzed and he could hear nothing.

His hands were shaking.

I wanted to call out "Xiao Ye" out of habit, but no sound came out.

Dead?

Li Yuebai didn't know how he walked over. He squatted down and felt the other person's breathing with his trembling hands.

No breathing, no heartbeat, no pulse.

Of course not. The metal pipe that fell from the sky pierced Ye Qing's chest at a strange angle. Blood was all over the ground. There was no possibility of survival.

"System!" Li Yuebai was speechless and could only roar silently in his heart.

"Dear host, hello." The system's voice jumped out cheerfully: "Because you completed the task too easily and the process was too smooth, the system must increase the difficulty for you and introduce the [Banana Peel Mechanism] once."

The banana peel mechanism is a term in physics and also a term in science fiction. It means that when a time traveler wants to take an action to change history, God will throw a banana peel to him, causing him to slip and be forced to terminate the action. He cannot change history and can only accept his fixed fate.

This is the hand of God that humans cannot resist.

An earthquake occurred without any warning, and a metal pipe fell for no reason, killing the male protagonist with no probability. This is a naked and undisguised banana peel mechanism.

This was the first time Li Yuebai felt despair since starting this time-travel game.

No matter how strong you are or how hard you try, you will eventually die from a light flick of the system's finger.

Other male time-travelling protagonists have golden fingers, but he doesn’t. He originally thought that it was nothing and that he could just rely on his own efforts.

I didn't expect the system to cruelly add such a big anti-cheat.

"System, I want to negotiate." At this point, Li Yuebai regained his composure: "According to the alliance contract between Ye Qing and I, as long as any one of the allies dies, this mission will fail."

"Yes." The system confirmed the alliance agreement signed by Li Yuebai and Ye Qing. It was correct.

"If the banana peel mechanism exists to make me fail directly, then the entire time travel is meaningless." Li Yuebai took a deep breath and tried hard to suppress the urge to fight desperately with the system.

If the mission fails, we will have to accept the fate of Gu Xisha.

Compared with such a prospect, suicide is actually a better choice. Ending one's life here directly can avoid such cruel and long torture.

But Li Yuebai didn't want to commit suicide and admit defeat so easily. He wanted to at least fight for a chance to negotiate with the system.

"Of course, of course, the system will not be so cruel to the host. Since the banana peel mechanism has caused the current situation, in the interests of fairness, the system will give you a chance to terminate the contract." The system smiled and gave Li Yuebai a way out.

A dialogue box popped up in front of Li Yuebai.

The countdown is thirty seconds and has started.

The dialogue box reads: Hello host Li Yuebai, do you want to terminate the alliance contract with Ye Qing?

There are two options below: Yes and No.

"As long as you choose yes, the contract between you and Ye Qing will be terminated, and his death will not have any impact on you." The system introduced enthusiastically: "As compensation, the system will assign you a more powerful assistant to continue the mission in this world..."

Twenty seconds.

Li Yuebai closed his eyes and felt his mind go blank, then pitch black, with endless starlight bursting out in the darkness.

The person lying on the rooftop looking at the stars is now dead, waiting to be abandoned by himself.

A familiar feeling welled up in my heart, not only endless sadness, but also anger.

The seconds countdown gradually decreased: 8, 7, 6, 5...

"Host, please make your choice as soon as possible, time is running out." The system reminded considerately.

3, 2……

"hehe."

Li Yuebai made his choice at the last second.

He pressed the "No" button with almost all his strength.

It was an impulsive choice, and one that suited his current anger perfectly.

Li Yuebai has always been a person with a particularly good temper, but the better the temper, the more terrible he is when he gets angry. He just has a low bottom line, not no bottom line. When his bottom line is touched, he will make radical choices that are different from his usual conservative strategy.

Commonly known as going crazy.

"Dear host, whether you choose or not, your alliance with Ye Qing will continue. According to the regulations, if one of the allies dies, the other..." the system talked incessantly.

"Shut up." Li Yuebai stopped the system from talking nonstop: "What if my allies... don't die?"

"Dear host, as long as both allies are alive, the mission can certainly be completed along the original track..." The system was helpless.

"That's fine." Li Yuebai nodded: "Get lost."

He said the word "roll" lightly, but with an unquestionable authority.

The system disappeared obediently.
