Set up a funeral service team in a foreign land
Chapter 232: Peggy in the Fugitive World
The system's tone was a little melancholic: "...That was just a dream you had when you met me in that future line."
Perhaps, it cannot be considered an encounter, but just a cause and effect created by accident.
Xi Sui'an was stunned. Is it the future... a dream?
She closed her eyes and searched for the implanted memories. The so-called "past" was already hazy, and she couldn't remember it clearly even if she tried to think about it.
She dreamed of a carefree, peaceful life...
Xi Sui'an guessed that the ending of the self that the system met was probably not very good, most likely death, but that was not important.
She shifted her thoughts and digested the system's words. Combining them with what she knew now, she seemed to be able to deduce some of the truth of history.
According to the system, the status of "Chu" is like the world tree in the realm. It gave birth to and nurtured the gods, but one day they divided its power, and then the gods flourished.
And the power that was divided was unsurprisingly the godhead.
Then, the Land of Origin that had lost its "beginning" underwent a strange change, and the gods left the place of their birth. This was followed by the Age of the Fall of the Gods. Later, the changes in the Land of Origin became more and more severe, and the realm of the gods suffered devastating blows one after another. The remaining gods and their followers were severely injured in the chaotic fighting.
Finally, in the increasingly chaotic era of conflict, Xue Ji suddenly appeared. He chopped the world tree with his sword in order to stop the war and buy time for survival. After that, humans gradually gained the upper hand, and the remaining gods gradually disappeared.
Xi Sui'an pondered, his thoughts turning in circles.
The system was dormant and missed the changes in the Origin Land. Obviously, it didn't know what the changes were when she asked it, but it should be able to answer another question.
"who's that person?"
The system shook, acting like it was suffering from severe post-traumatic stress disorder.
"I've... said everything I can. She erased my important memories of her and placed a restriction on me. I can't say more. If the restriction is triggered, it could have extremely serious consequences. You don't want to be noticed by her and get killed along with me, do you?"
The system was helpless and looked sad.
Xi Sui'an opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopping himself, his expression becoming complicated.
Who can't see that she is such a shining chess piece...
The only person she could think of who could tamper with the system and create a space-time cage, besides Gulveig, was the elusive Wu Li.
This style of behavior feels more like Wu Li, who is truly an unfathomable person.
She lowered her eyes and said, "So, you reclaimed your godhead in order to restore the 'beginning' and end the changes in the Land of Origin?"
"The godhead originally belonged to 'Chu', and it is simply being returned to its original owner." The system snorted coldly.
Xi Sui'an stared at the system for a moment, then suddenly curled his lips. "So, when the object is returned to its original owner, what will happen to me, the container?"
Having obtained part of the power of the Godhead and carrying the core of the "beginning" before her, she could not escape unscathed no matter how hard she tried.
The system froze. It wanted to say that everything would be fine and they would get what they wanted, but... it had no bottom line, really no bottom line at all.
It did not see such a future, nor did it know whether the Origin Land could return to its original state after the mutation.
The system chuckled, feeling guilty. "Well, didn't you say we could try and turn a bicycle into a motorcycle? Let's take a gamble, but... we can only take a gamble."
The system said sincerely, "No matter what, we don't have much time left. What I can promise now is that you will always be you, and I will always be me. If the power assimilation exceeds the critical point, I will detach myself."
"I swear, you will never perish before I perish!"
Xi Sui'an stood there motionless as if lost in thought. The huge waves in the sea of souls had subsided, and in the blink of an eye, the sea was calm. However, the system could sense that undercurrents were brewing beneath the surface of the sea.
What a mess.
The system sighed silently.
The time spent waiting for Xi Sui'an to announce the results of the interrogation was so long that the system became a little uneasy.
It was a long time before Xi Sui'an took any action.
She stepped forward and touched the system, sighing silently: "I'm sorry."
She didn't treat it with sincerity after all.
"And most importantly, thank you, system."
Regardless of the reason, it ultimately gave her a unique opportunity to move the chessboard.
No matter what happens next, they will keep going and reach the end of the story together.
……
Xi Sui'an opened her eyes and stood up with a pale face. She fumbled for the red coral ring on her hand and searched carefully for a long time, only to find that the medicine supply had already run out.
Let's go back and talk to Professor Agatha, she thought, her eyes paused on the empty medicine bottle, and she thought of Zhong Heng, whose life or death was still unknown, and her head hurt even more.
Chao Xi suddenly woke up, sensing that Xi Sui'an was not in the right state: "Hmm...eh? Why is your soul sea so messed up? What did that guy do to you?!"
Being shielded, it had no idea what was happening.
Xi Sui'an shook his head: "It's okay."
She stood at the window and looked outside. The snow had stopped, and the misty morning fog made the sky, the earth, and the city seem unclear.
Xi Sui'an was a little absent-minded, his eyes were deep.
By the way, did the system really escape successfully?
She took a deep breath, letting the cool air soak into her lungs.
After a long time, when he was about to look away, he caught a glimpse of two men and women in black appearing at the end of the long street. They were walking on both sides of a red-haired woman who looked as if she had lost her parents.
The familiar delicate eyebrows and eyes of the person in the middle made Xi Sui'an wake up instantly. Chao Xi couldn't help but climb up the window and look out when he saw her astonished look, and then he rubbed his eyes in surprise.
"Big fluttering moth?"
"Paige?"
Xi Sui'an raised his eyebrows, his eyes fell on the dark bracelet on the other person's hand, and his expression became subtle.
Soul-forbidden ring?
Wasn't this guy going undercover? How come he was captured by Yinglong Guards in the human world at this critical moment?
And it seems that this person was sent to her?
-
"I'm sorry to bother you, but this is an urgent matter. I apologize for any disturbance I've caused."
In the small hall, the young man in black pushed his glasses and apologized to the family opposite with a serious expression.
"It's okay, it's okay..." Zhao Ya and Xi Yuan looked at each other, sitting there in a rare stiff manner, warily sizing up the strange trio opposite them.
The woman opposite smiled and took out a nameplate engraved with a pattern of a Yinglong with spread wings wrapped around a sword and the words "Du Chenran from the seventh group".
Xi Sui'an took a look and could vaguely sense a familiar ancient aura from the dragon clan.
It was the first time she saw the emblem representing the Yinglong Guard. It seemed that they were about to surface and be displayed to the world.
The man on the other side politely said, "Let me introduce myself first. I'm Du Chenran, leader of the 7th Action Team of Yinglong Guard, and this is my team member, Ling Zijin. We're in charge of H City. Xi Sui'an, I'm sure you already know why we're here."
Xi Sui'an looked at the agitated Peggy, held his forehead and sighed, "...I see. Can you explain the situation in more detail?"
She also really wanted to know how this devil-eyed moth flew to the human world and fell into the arms of Yinglongwei.
Peggy looked at Xi Sui'an, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, and her watery eyes blinked, and tears fell.
He suddenly rushed over and hugged Xi Sui'an's thighs, and burst into tears: "Master, I almost didn't see you anymore, wuwu..."
"If it weren't for the warning crystal pendant you gave me, I would have almost never seen you again!"
"Master... woo woo, please make the decision for me..."
Peggy looked so miserable, crying like a pear blossom in the rain, that Xi Yuan and his wife, who were watching, were at a loss but also felt pity for her.
What a poor girl...
Du Chenran's mouth twitched slightly. It's no big deal. They didn't do anything to him!
Unable to bear watching, she turned to look at Xi Sui'an and got down to business: "Yesterday, Senior Brother Jingci abolished the Yinglong Guard's concealment regulations and issued instructions to monitor and investigate alien races."
"While we were carrying out the mission, this Demon Eye Moth Paige noticed our actions and took the initiative to surrender herself to us."
"According to him, he was being hunted by the Rosicrucian Society and fled to the human world. Besides that, he was looking for you. We know you're a non-staff member of ours, and since he's your informant, it's difficult for us to get rid of him, so we brought him here and handed him over to you."
The young man next to him, Ling Zijin, nodded and added, "If possible, please pack it up and take it with you when you return to the foreign land. Thank you."
"..."
Xi Sui'an was speechless, and then looked at Peggy who was still sobbing and acting pitiful.
What a trap!
It seems that Jingci's sudden search operation has brought her quite a bit of gains...
