Spy Wars: Playboy? I'm the best agent!

Chapter 356: A cannibalistic society, an unchangeable ending

Chen Shen listened to the system's narration, and the shock in his heart was beyond words.

He imagined the Northern and Southern Dynasties, a time filled with war, famine, and despair, where people were struggling on the brink of life and death. The mysterious man suffered in such an environment and ultimately chose such an extreme way to seek relief.

"Then why did he choose to come to our world after escaping?"

Chen Shen asked.

The system was silent for a while and then said.

"It could be a random choice, or it could be that he thinks the world has what he desires."

Chen Shen asked in confusion

"What does he desire?"

The system said.

"Maybe it's peace and tranquility, or maybe it's power and wealth. We'll only know the details when we find him."

He sighed.

"It's not easy to find someone who deliberately hides himself in such a big world."

The system said.

"But you must complete your mission, find and expel him, or this world will fall into chaos."

Chen Shen gritted his teeth.

"I know, but we know almost nothing about him now. We don't even know his appearance or characteristics. How can we find him?"

it says.

"From his behavioral patterns and psychology, growing up in an environment like the Northern and Southern Dynasties, his personality must be extreme and suspicious, and he would act with extreme caution."

Chen Shen nodded.

"That's a clue, but it's still too vague."

"Tell me about the mysterious man's living environment."

He then asked questions.

The system's voice sounded mechanically and coldly.

"The mysterious man existed during the early stages of the Five Barbarians' Invasion of China, and only developed a rebellious mentality during the later stages. He witnessed the extremely bloody massacres during the Eight Princes' Rebellion in the late Western Jin Dynasty and once harbored the ambition to change that era, but because he was a slave and had no personal freedom, he was powerless."

Chen Shen frowned and interrupted.

"Didn't he try to get the golden finger and change his fate?"

The system responded without any emotion.

"Of course he did. But as the lowest of slaves, if he even took a moment to get the golden finger, he would be immediately considered lazy. He was caught for this and received twenty lashes of the cane, and he almost lost his life."

Chen Shen couldn't help but sigh when he heard this.

"My world doesn't seem so bad by comparison."

The system then states.

"According to the original setting, his scenario was to use the cheat code granted by the system to rise from the slaves to become a king, and then to become emperor after suppressing the Five Barbarians' Rebellion.

However, reality is cruel. The sufferings of that world completely wore him down and assimilated his will.

He no longer sought to change the world, but chose to break free from the constraints of the system and escape from that world."

Chen Shen asked.

"Then which world had he been to before? Why did he run away from that world?"

The system replied.

"The world he traveled to previously was during the Eight-Nation Alliance's invasion of China. As for what exactly happened in that world, we have no way of knowing. This is because our system can only detect whether there are outsiders intruding into the world it manages. As for details such as their location and specific circumstances, the system is powerless."

Chen Shen couldn't help but sigh.

"He really knows how to pick his time. He never found a truly peaceful era. It was always a period of war and chaos."

The system continued.

"Perhaps this is his destiny. He seems to be always attracted to turbulence and chaos, or perhaps he wants to find some kind of opportunity for change in these extreme environments. But in any case, his behavior has seriously violated the rules of the system."

Chen Shen fell into deep thought and spoke after a moment.

"So now we know almost nothing about him, how can we find him and prevent the damage he may cause?"

The system responds.

"For now, we can only monitor this world's anomalies in the hope of discovering his whereabouts. But this requires time and luck."

Chen Shen gritted his teeth.

"We can't just sit there and wait for death. We have to find a way to take the initiative."

The system said.

"But we don't have a clear direction, and actively searching is like looking for a needle in a haystack."

Chen Shen's eyes were firm.

"Even if it's like looking for a needle in a haystack, we have to find it. We should start by looking at similar turbulent periods in history and analyzing where he might have appeared and what his motives were."

The system was silent for a moment, as if calculating the feasibility, and then spoke.

“You can try, but the probability of success is unpredictable.”

Chen Shen said.

"It's better than doing nothing. Let's start with areas where wars are frequent and social order is disrupted."

The system responded.

"Okay, I'll follow your advice. But you also have to be mentally prepared. This may be a long and difficult process."

Chen took a deep breath.

"I understand, but in order to protect this world, we have to do it no matter how difficult it is."

Just then, the system's sound began to become intermittent.

"I... don't have much... time... to communicate... with... you... better... take... care... of... yourself..."

Afterwards, the system's voice disappeared completely, and Chen Shen's consciousness gradually returned to reality.

But his thoughts were still on the conversation with the system, thinking about how to find the mysterious man next.

Chen Shen finally woke up in a daze. He slowly opened his eyes and saw Yu Manli's face, which was full of fatigue but also full of joy.

When Yu Manli saw Chen Shen wake up, she immediately poured him a glass of water and placed it to his lips. Chen Shen took a sip and asked in a hoarse voice.

"How long have I slept?"

Yu Manli said excitedly.

"Chen Shen, you've been in a coma for two days. You fainted not far from the orphanage. We wanted to let you stay there, but there was no bed. Your sister-in-law let you sleep on her bed, and then Cheng Jinyun and I took you home. I've been taking care of you here, and I even asked Fujita Yoshimasa for leave for you."

As Chen Shen listened to Yu Manli's narration, a warm feeling surged in his heart.

"Thank you for your hard work, Manli."

Chen Shen said.

Yu Manli shook her head.

"As long as you can wake up, it doesn't matter if I work harder."

Yu Manli called Cheng Jinyun over again. Cheng Jinyun examined Chen Shen again.

"It's nothing serious, but you need to get more nutrition. Don't work so hard in the future, otherwise your body will not be able to bear it."

Cheng Jinyun instructed.

Chen Shen nodded.

"Thank you, Jinyun."

Yu Manli said from the side.

"Chen Shen, you must listen to the doctor's advice this time and get your health back before going back to work."

Chen Shen said with a smile.

"okay, I get it."

In the following days, Yu Manli took good care of Chen Shen every day and prepared nutritious meals for him.

Chen Shen's body is gradually recovering.

One day, Chen Shen leaned against the head of the bed, looking at the busy Yu Manli, his heart filled with gratitude and guilt.
