Defeat the system! Kiss my little monster!

"The phone number I gave you?" Yu Zhuo's golden eyes trembled slightly. He said in a low voice, "I haven't even spoken to you on the phone, why would I give you my phone number? Isn't this a scam call?"

Adrian: “…”

"Living a life of ignominy? Are you out of your mind? You called me at 3 a.m. the day before yesterday, and I didn't even complain about you. Now you're turning the tables on me?" Adrian said in an unfriendly tone. "You're finished. I'm telling you, I'm blocking you right now."

Hearing the rustling sounds from the other end, Yu Zhuo frowned, still somewhat hesitant, and said, "You said you're Adrian, can you give me a secret signal?"

Adrian: “…”

He seemed amused, raising his voice as he said, "Sure."

"How did you die before?"

"suicide."

What did I give you?

"A book."

"what colour?"

"White."

They actually answered all of them correctly.

Yu Zhuo was already seven or eight parts convinced, and he continued, "One last question, what was your initial yang energy level?"

The voice on the other end paused for a moment, as if it were thinking. After about ten seconds, Adrian's voice drifted back.

"Hmm... I don't remember exactly, it was something like 250?"

Yu Zhuo narrowed his eyes: "I told you the secret to obtaining Yang Qi. What is it?"

“...do”.

"Oh my god, Adrian, it really is you!" Yu Zhuo exclaimed in surprise. "I haven't heard your voice in so long, I've missed you so much!"

Adrian: “…”

"Little Gou Gou, are you kidding me?" Adrian was speechless. "What exactly are you up to?"

Yu Zhuo: "I was about to ask you that too. I was on a mission in another world, why did you suddenly call me? I hadn't contacted you before!"

To be precise, Yu Zhuo only contacted Pei Du in advance because of Lin Xuqiu's matter. As for the other people, he didn't make any special contact because he was just trying to survive.

"Huh? Are you serious?" Adrian couldn't help but be a little suspicious after seeing Yu Zhuo's repeated emphasis. "But you did call me the day before yesterday, saying you were doing a follow-up survey to collect information about my world."

"……what?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Zhuo froze on the spot.

Adrian hesitated and said, "That's not you? The voice and tone sound almost exactly like yours."

"No." Yu Zhuo picked up the phone, but the screen was still completely black, and he couldn't see what was happening inside.

He paused for a moment before asking, "Perhaps another system impersonated me and communicated with you. What did it ask you?"

"He just asked me about my recent life, whether I had encountered any danger or anything," Adrian sighed, drawing out the last words. "I thought it was you, so I just gave him a brief answer."

Yu Zhuo: "That's all he asked?"

“It was all basic stuff. He didn’t have enough energy, and he hung up after talking to me for less than a minute. But before he left, he gave me a phone number, saying that I could contact you through this number,” Adrian said. “I didn’t expect him to actually call you.”

Yu Zhuo's brows furrowed more and more. He had a bad feeling and asked, "Besides you, did he say who else he contacted?"

"Oh, that wasn't mentioned."

Yu Zhuo was confused about the situation, so he lowered his voice and said to Adrian, "Be careful lately. The system that contacts you is not easy to deal with. I can't leave now, but I'll go back to see you when I have time."

Adrian chuckled: "Little Gou Gou, you're so domineering. Don't worry, I'm perfectly fine lying in the palace right now, nothing's wrong."

Yu Zhuo was skeptical: "Then why did you suddenly call me?"

He knew Adrian very well. Adrian, that lazy and good-for-nothing male, would never ask Yu Zhuo for help unless he encountered a particularly difficult situation.

"I missed you, so I called to talk to you." Adrian's tone remained nonchalant, but his voice softened as he continued, "But I have indeed encountered some strange things with the Zerg recently."

Yu Zhuo: "What is it?"

"You bound yourself to me before, didn't you give me a cheat code? It's that allows me to see the shape, volume, and color of certain systems... like that love-brain pink ball before."

"But recently, I don't know what's going on, when I look out the window at night, I see that the Zerg sky, which was originally pitch black, is colorful, and it's been like this for two or three days in a row."

"...Colorful?" Yu Zhuo paused in his fiddle with his phone. "Are they all mini-systems?"

“Yeah, right,” Adrian exclaimed dramatically. “The sky is covered with them, all sorts of colored systems. It’s giving me trypophobia.”

Yu Zhuo immediately stood up and said, "Adrian, I'm transferring some of my energy to you now. Keep it safe. Just pretend you can't see those small systems. If they can't detect any danger, they won't attack you."

"I know, I've been lying low these past few days," Adrian whispered. "Little liar, what's going on? Is it the end of the world?"

"...Don't say that."

The system is responsible for maintaining the smooth operation of the world. It is already strange for a world to have two systems. Now, the main system has suddenly caused so many systems to flock to the same world. The purpose is probably not simple.

"Adrian, you need to protect yourself first. The situation is still unclear. Once I've dealt with the problems in this world, I'll come check on you... You absolutely cannot die again!"

Yu Zhuo felt inexplicably choked up.

He could roughly guess who the system communicating with Adrian belonged to. It could hack into his phone, clearly identify the host it had been bound to in its previous life, and possess information about all worlds…

Besides the main system, who else is there?

"It's okay, Xiao Gou Gou. My curtains block out light well, so it won't affect my sleep at all when they're drawn," Adrian said on the other end of the phone.

"Don't worry about what you're doing. I'm being extremely cautious right now and I'm very careful with my life. If all else fails... I'll go and try to build up my Yang energy."

Yu Zhuo chuckled and said, "Okay."

Adrian said a couple more words, mainly to explain the situation to Yu Zhuo, and then decisively hung up the phone.

Yu Zhuo sat on the bed, lost in thought. He picked up his phone, ended the call, and his phone returned to normal. The incoming phone number had vanished, as if everything before had been nothing.

Yu Zhuo slowly narrowed his eyes. He opened the Black Heart app and tried to contact the remaining two people.

Pei Du had already spoken to them, and Adrian had also called. There was still no news from Shen Yu and Shen Yisui…

Yu Zhuo felt that things were in a bit of a dilemma.

Even in the apocalypse, Shen Yisui could still make a phone call to check on things. How could Shen Yu make a phone call in ancient times? He didn't even have a cell phone.

Yu Zhuo tapped his fingertip on the table. He didn't have much time, so he decided to give Shen Yisui a hint first.

Yu Zhuo clicked into the Black Heart software. As soon as he injected energy into it, he keenly noticed the cold light outside the window.
