Soul Patch

Chapter 238 Don't kill Jia Nan
Old Luo's gaze shifted from Awei to the bedside, and he bent down to look at the card pasted on the headboard.

That's right, this is Jia Nan's hospital room.

Andy also went over and glanced at the head of the bed, silently memorizing the name "Jia Nan".

He came from the doctor's office and found out that Jia Nan's ward was located at room 3015 on the 3rd floor of the East Building of the Mental Hospital.

Based on his understanding of the system, he knew that the patch carrier would be placed around the mental hospital. He instructed Xiao Yi and Awei to search around the east and west buildings and bring the patch carrier over once they found it.

Actually, he was anxious to find his granddaughter, which was the real reason he hacked into the system.

Fearing that Xiao Yi and Awei might notice, they were sent away first.

At this moment, Old Luo looked at Xiao Yi, who had a suspicious look on her face, and slowly asked, "Xiao Yi, have you discovered anything?"

Xiao Yi glanced at Andy, hesitated, and shook her head: "It's nothing, I just feel the system is a bit strange. By the way, how's Andy doing?"

When Xiao Yi asked this, Andy looked in the direction of her grandfather. Seeing that her grandfather nodded slightly, she cleared her throat and said, "The target appeared in Jia Nan's ward. Jia Nan seems to have a deep grudge against him and has already chased after him."

Xiao Yi looked at Elder Luo and Awei in surprise and blurted out, "Then why didn't you stop them? What if Jia Nan kidnapped the target and found out where he is? He could take action tomorrow, and then the mission would fail!"

Andy looked at them innocently and said in a low voice, "They're both pretty tough to deal with. I'm no match for them at all!"

A complex smile appeared on Xiao Yi's face, a smile that contained both mockery and a hint of understanding.

She breathed a sigh of relief and stopped looking at Andy.

It has a strong sense of "look at that, she's just a pretty face, all looks and no substance!"

Ah Wei's bones melted at the sound of those sweet words. If it weren't for the presence of Elder Luo and Xiao Yi, he probably would have volunteered to protect them.

Old Luo remained calm, and after a moment's thought, he said to Andy, "You stay here. You've had contact with Jia Nan, and he didn't harm you, which means you've gained his trust."

If Jia Nan returns, please contact us.

After saying that, he took a walkie-talkie out of his pocket and handed it to Andy.

Old Luo then looked at Xiao Yi and Awei: "We'll split into two groups. I'll go after the target, and you two will stop Jia Nan... If necessary: ​​kill!"

"do not want!"

Andy vehemently denied it almost the instant he heard the word "kill".

She shook her head and waved her hands toward her grandfather, desperately trying to stop them from doing so.

Old Luo looked back at Andy with surprise, his eyes flickering as he wondered: What's this little girl up to?
Seeing Andy's flushed face, and not being able to give a reason, he just waved his hand and muttered, "Don't kill me, don't kill me."

It seems I've guessed the general idea.

Andy clearly knew that the NPCs killed by the hacked system were irreversible.

Unlike NPCs killed by patch carriers.

When you exit the system, all the dead NPCs will be restored to their normal lives.

Ultimately, the system scenario is virtual, and this virtual scenario will only change the life trajectories of three types of people:

First, mission objectives

Second, patch carrier

Third, hacking cheats

But wouldn't Andy's words reveal something to Yi and Wei?
Old Luo glanced at Xiao Yi and Awei out of the corner of his eye and saw them exchange a strange look.

He looked at Andy thoughtfully and asked cautiously, "Does Jia Nan still have any use?" Andy had acted entirely on instinct; the word "no" had practically slipped out without her thinking. Upon hearing this, each of them had their own thoughts, and she realized she had said the wrong thing.

He coughed twice, thought for a moment, and then carefully chose his words: "He might play a crucial role in changing the course of your life!"

After she finished speaking, she looked at Xiao Yi and Awei with feigned composure.

This argument wasn't very convincing, and the two men's expressions didn't improve.

They both looked at Elder Luo at the same time. Elder Luo stood with his hands behind his back and shouted to Xiao Yi and Awei, "Let's go! If we catch Jia Nan, I will interrogate him personally."

Xiao Yi and Awei nodded simultaneously, replying, "Okay, Elder Luo."

The three of them quickly left the room.

Andy was left alone in the room. She looked around Jia Nan's room. The room was simply furnished with a bed, a desk, a chair, and a wardrobe.

The room, which was about 10 or 20 square meters, felt very crowded when it was just occupied by four people, but now that she was the only one left, it looked quite spacious.

She walked to the door, reached out to grasp the doorknob, and prepared to lock the room before her grandfather returned.

Just then, a large hand grabbed the door frame first, followed by a figure squeezing into the room.

After Andy realized what was happening, he desperately tried to hold the door shut: "Who are you? Get out! Get out now, or I'll call for help!"

The other person was a burly man, strong and powerful, with strength emanating from his entire body. He easily pushed the door open, muttering, "The system is so merciful, the villain in this mission is so weak..."

Andy realized that this was a patch carrier who had come knocking on his door, clearly a guy who was all brawn and no brains.

It's likely that they found out about the feud between Jia Nan and the target from somewhere, so they sneaked into Jia Nan's hospital room, intending to kill the murderer and end it all.

The murderer is dead, so how can we kill the target tomorrow?

I've never seen a dead person kill someone before!

This isn't some ghost story from Liaozhai; the system is all about logical relationships and cause-and-effect cycles.

Andy stammered, "You've got it wrong, you...you..."

How could the burly man have the patience to listen to the "murderer's" explanation? He had already prejudged the man as Jia Nan. Killing him would basically complete 60% of the mission.

As for those laborious and mentally taxing corrections to one's life trajectory, let other patching tools handle that; he's not capable of doing it.

He grabbed Andy by the neck, intending to strangle him to death.

When a person is about to die, their explosive power is astonishing. Andy's long leg kicked him directly in the groin area.

Steady, accurate, and ruthless!
With a cry of pain, the burly man knelt on the ground, clutching a certain part of his lower body.

My daily morning workouts aren't for nothing; my leg muscles are very strong. No matter how big the opponent is, one kick will leave them in a terrible state.

Andy immediately adopted a grappling stance. The man on the ground hadn't recovered yet when he saw this seemingly easy-to-deal-with beauty who appeared to have some training, something he hadn't expected.

He was sweating profusely from the pain in his lower body and couldn't stand up for a while. Seeing the beautiful woman launching another attack, he could only close his eyes and prepare to endure it.

Seeing that he had completely gained the upper hand, Andy glared at him and said, "I'm the patch carrier, the real killer has already escaped! Instead of going after the killer, you're thinking of killing each other? Have you lost your mind?"

Upon hearing this, the burly man opened his eyes in confusion, stared blankly at the beautiful woman in front of him for a moment, and grinned as he said, "The target told me that the murderer is sleeping in this room, and he told me to kill the murderer, Jia Nan!"

"Target individual? You mean Wenjie?"

The man on the ground nodded frantically, then sat down angrily, rubbing his injured area.
