Chapter 242: Provoking a Tug of War



System 333 was speaking excitedly when he suddenly shuddered. "I sense a murderous aura. Could it be that the system is trying to strike back?"

Fang Shan said in a teaching tone, "Before you say something bad about someone, it's basic practice to look back first."

Upon hearing this, System 333 stiffly turned its neck inch by inch. No matter how many Bodhisattvas and Buddhas it worshipped in its heart, the cruel reality did not change at all: Wei Sushen was standing quietly behind it like a ghost.

"I..." System 333 swallowed, "I just have nothing better to do, so I'm going to share some information about marriage law."

Wei Sushen's face was terribly cold: "And then accidentally spread the news about the protections that need to be paid attention to after divorce?"

System 333 pressed down on Fang Shan's clothes and said word by word, "Save me."

"Let's set a small goal first," Fang Shan said, raising his lips. "For example, leaving the body intact."

“…”

When System 333 was kicked out, he fell to the ground with his face, shouting that he would not be able to see anyone for the next few days.

Fang Shan felt pain for him from the bottom of his heart.

"Don't listen to his nonsense," Wei Sushen said coldly, "I'm not with you for that."

Fang Shan's gaze froze for a moment, and he tried to speak calmly, "I believe you."

Their eyes met and an awkward silence spread. Wei Sushen cut his losses in time and stopped discussing the above meaningless topics.

There was no TV in the room. Fang Shan tapped the extremely old radio, which barely had a few channels working. He finally stopped at the news channel, tuning in to the latest major events.

Compared to the previous few weeks, the situation is relatively peaceful now. We haven't heard of any panic-inducing incidents like serial killers.

Fang Shan started searching online for keywords again and discovered that the evil god had become an urban legend. Although few people paid attention, there was a detailed introduction.

According to legend, the evil god stays young by sucking blood and eating hearts, and can give people eternal vitality.

Fang Shan shook his head repeatedly as he watched: "Isn't this just a combination of a monster and a vampire?"

I couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for Wei Sushen. After all, he was a god in his previous life, but after reincarnation he was criticized so badly.

As a victim, Wei Sushen's concern was probably as light as a feather, and he even focused on other things: "Mirror."

After hearing what he said, Fang Shan searched through his almost forgotten memories and remembered that when he was involved in the murder case on the small island, the charming woman had mentioned that the owner of the forum was looking for a mirror that was said to be able to reflect the reincarnation of the evil god.

"It's rare that the host still has an impression of me." Fang Shan sighed.

Ever since he learned about the past connection, he treated some of the previous information as garbage.

Wei Sushen said without emotion: "If you delete the memory of the Marriage Protection Act, your memory will be very good."

Fang Shan: ...System 333 is harming me!

"A mirror..." Trying to get back to the serious stuff, Fang Shan asked, "In the immortal world, has the host ever seen a mirror?"

Wei Sushen shook his head: "You have quite a few dressing mirrors, but they are all very ordinary."

For at least five hundred years, he had watched Fang Shan question herself in the mirror every day about who was the most beautiful person in the world.

Thinking came to an impasse, Fang Shan went downstairs and stole a few bags of snacks for the fat boy to replenish his sugar intake.

Wei Sushen: "Remember to use a different excuse next time."

He uses the same excuse every time, and there's no sincerity at all.

"I'm serious." Fang Shan said sincerely.

Wei Sushen naturally didn't believe it. He watched him eat three bags of junk food, and when the system's claws were about to open a new bag, he tried to stop him.

Fang Shan was about to say something more, but suddenly he slapped the inflated packaging hard, and it instantly deflated. "So that's how it is."

He didn't look like he was faking it, and it seemed like he had really thought of something. Wei Sushen couldn't help but ponder... Could it be that eating really works?

Fang Shan patted him awake with a little force: "One fat person in the family is enough."

Wei Sushen recalled that the system had transformed into a heavy sword weighing at least 300 pounds, and nodded.

Fang Shan suppressed the absurdity in his expression and said seriously, "It's not a mirror at all. It's probably the real immortality."

Wei Sushen was slightly stunned.

From the outside, the immortality in sleep does look like a mirror.

Fang Shan frowned. "Although the world of the Immortal Construction is a dream, everything that happened in it was real."

On the other hand, obtaining it does allow one to learn about the past and present lives of the evil god.

"And they once mistakenly believed that I possessed a treasure that could transcend the cycle of reincarnation," Fang Shan said coldly. "In fact, the one who possesses this ability is immortal."

Immortality does not belong to any world and is an existence that transcends reincarnation.

"That makes sense." Wei Sushen stared at the crushed bag of snacks, half of his mind pondering the significance of sugar to the brain. Predictably, after this incident, Fang Shan had found a legitimate reason to eat a late-night snack.

"Now that you've figured out the whole process, where do you plan to start?"

Perhaps because the system always plays by unconventional means, Wei Sushen usually figures out his thoughts before making plans to avoid being tricked halfway.

Fang Shan: "If the host is unwilling to use the wedding to lure out the mastermind, I will consider finding another solution."

"Let's do it another way." Wei Sushen said calmly, "I don't intend for the wedding to be on world news."

Once the fighting starts, the destructive power of the inter-system battle can be imagined; and if he holds a wedding, there is no need for a grand ceremony, at most relatives and friends will gather in a warmly decorated manor to have a meal.

At first glance, it sounded very economical, but Fang Shan felt something was wrong: "How big should the manor be?"

Wei Sushen: "Three hundred acres of land is enough."

Fang Shan's eyelids jumped: "What are the requirements for the food?"

Wei Sushen: "The dishes don't need to be too complicated, but seafood and game are essential, the fruits and vegetables must be fresh and rare, and the desserts and wines must be shipped from overseas in advance."

Fang Shan stopped asking for more details. His smile seemed sincere, but in reality it was stiff: "Thriftiness is a virtue."

Wei Sushen: "You know I've always been like this."

"..." After another slight twitch of his lips, Fang Shan began to think of another way. After failing to find any solution, he said, "As for the identity of that system, I have two ideas. One is that it is one of my countless enemies, and the other is that it is a former friend."

Wei Sushen asked the key question: "How many times?"

Fang Shan thought for a moment: "Before I became the source code."

Wei Sushen tapped the table with his index finger: "That person is most likely your former friend."

Fang Shan: "Why?"

Wei Sushen: "To be your friend, he must have extreme thoughts and biased behavior. Perhaps he will blame your death on the evil god."

Even this hatred can continue to this day.

Fang Shan's expression was not very good.

Wei Sushen reflected: "I said something too harsh."

“Do you know where the most desperate point is?”

Wei Sushen shook his head.

Fang Shan said sadly, "We are thinking of the same thing."

“…”

Wei Sushen stood up and took out two bottles of milk beer from the safe.

Since the advent of the system, safes have become equivalent to wine cabinets.

Fang Shan raised an eyebrow: "Are you offering to buy me a drink?"

Wei Sushen glanced at the food that was being used to vent his anger, and found that it was not as pleasing to the eye as the cans.

Fang Shan smacked his lips and tried to do a cool one-handed opening of the pull ring: "Is Chen Bingying still alive?"

The answer is yes.

She was released early in the morning. On the surface, she was left to fend for herself, but Wei Sushen secretly had someone keep an eye on her.

As an assistant, Arthur was forced to do the work of a detective, reporting the results of the tracking in detail. During this period, there was nothing too special. The other party seemed to have settled down a lot recently and had taken on a tutoring job.

Although he was prepared, Fang Shan couldn't help but frown after hearing this: "It's okay to start with that low-level Mary Sue system."

Unlike System 333, which is a fence-sitter, it seems to be a loyal follower of the mastermind behind the scenes.

Wei Sushen said coldly: "It's a pity that it hasn't appeared since Chen Bingying was captured last time."

Before the disaster even happened, they all flew away.

Fang Shan: "The dismantling of the organization must start from within."

I was originally thinking about how to deal with the Mary Sue system, but then I changed my mind and said, "Maybe they are planning the same thing."

Wei Sushen laughed at his bizarre idea: "Are you trying to alienate my family?"

Fang Shan: "Old-fashioned but very practical."

Although Wei Sushen found it funny, seeing that he was serious, he just cooperated and said, "Do you have any ideas?"

Fang Shan: "Go to my uncle's place and wait for him to come."

Wei Sushen sat up straight: "I'm not an only child."

Fang Shan was puzzled. What did this have to do with it?

Wei Sushen: "Even if I'm beaten to death, Xiao Pei will take care of me until the end of my life."

Fang Shan calculated the probability of never returning and gave up.

But the next moment, Wei Sushen said, "Let's get back to the point. Fortune and wealth are sought in danger."

“…”

The two finally chose a more compromising method. Wei Ye was temporarily staying in one of their hotels recently, and they quietly booked a room next door.

As a hunter, patience is a basic quality. Fang Shan and Wei Sushen ordered takeout for several days in a row and tried not to go out to avoid meeting Wei Ye.

Hot instant noodles could no longer satisfy his picky taste buds. Fang Shan curled his lips slightly and said, "If this trip yields no results, we'll go back to the original plan."

Miraculously, this time Wei Sushen did not directly object.

Fang Shan was alert. He coughed and said in a deliberately sarcastic tone, "What is your conspiracy?"

Wei Sushen: "Arthur sent me news yesterday that he has obtained the right to use the manor for the next quarter."

Thinking of the 'warm and simple' wedding he had described, Fang Shan couldn't decide whether he wanted the system to appear here, or...

The knocking sound was already very weak after being blocked by the door. Fang Shan put down the instant noodles, pricked his ears, and leaned over the peephole to observe the situation in the corridor.

A young man was knocking on the next door.

Wei Sushen: "Going out?"

Fang Shan shook his head: "Wait a little longer."

Who knows if it might be a pawn thrown out to explore the way.

There was a knock on the door for about a minute, but the person inside did not respond.

Fang Shan shook his head: "It seems that it's unfortunate that Uncle Wei is not here."

The young man was very perseverant and appeared again at night, but this time Wei Ye still did not show up.

Fang Shan: "Could it be that Uncle has checked out without us knowing?"

Wei Sushen looked at the newspaper absentmindedly: "No."

Fang Shan wondered: "Then why didn't you show up?"

Wei Sushen said calmly, "He taught me not to open the door to strangers since I was a child."

“…”
