Origin System, I have a barren mountain

Cheng Yunmo's heart was pounding uncontrollably. Just a hair's breadth away from this young man disappearing right in front of her!

When Ma Dou came to his senses, he realized that the person he had just been frightened was almost dumbfounded.

I was so scared that I instinctively sat on the ground and looked at the refrigerator as if it were a terrifying monster!

"What? What is that?!"

Ma Dou's voice was filled with fear. Where was the person who had just saved him?

Then I looked to the side, but I didn't see anyone at all.

This is even more terrifying.

Cheng Yunmo's soul became very small, standing directly next to Ma Dou's shoulder, looking around.

Ma Dou is an office worker. As soon as he arrived at the company, he saw that his colleague at the front desk looked unwell. Her pale eyes were staring blankly at the computer in front of her, and she looked listless and weak.

"Sister Xiao, what's wrong?"

Sister Xiao knew that since they were confined to the town, no one had the mind to care about others. They already had enough troubles of their own, so why would they care about a colleague they didn't know very well?

She couldn't help but have tears in her eyes, as if she had been asked about something that had saddened her.

Ma Dou had only asked out of concern for his colleague, never expecting it to make Sister Xiao cry.

He hurriedly walked over, took out the paper from his bag, and handed it to Sister Xiao.

Cheng Yunmo jumped from Ma Dou's shoulder directly onto Sister Xiao's desk, just in time to see that the box of bread Sister Xiao had brought had turned into a pile of empty bread bags.

It was like watching a magic trick.

At this moment, this scene also fell into the eyes of the two of them.

Because when Sister Xiao's attention was on the bread box, Ma Dou also glanced at it.

Such things were nothing new, so Ma Dou understood that Sister Xiao had run into some trouble.

Out of curiosity, Cheng Yunmo walked over and picked up an empty bread bag, which, judging by its weight, still contained some bread.

In other words, the bread in the bread bag is temporarily waiting to be transported away, in an unknown manner.

Cheng Yunmo thought for a moment and opened a very small spacetime portal in Xu Kingdom.

As soon as the portal opened, data was seen being transmitted rapidly between the two sides, and the weight of several bread bags had already decreased.

Cheng Yunmo reached out to touch the data, but the connection suddenly dropped and the data disappeared.

The bread in the bread bag I just saw disappeared; only a few pieces were gone, the rest have been restored.

Cheng Yunmo was unaware that when the portal to another time and space was opened, she saw figures helping them retrieve the bread.

"benefactor?"

Ma Dou thought about how he was rescued when he was at the refrigerator.

Cheng Yunmo was a little surprised, then glanced at the receptionist and saw that she was also looking at her.

"Uh, hello everyone."

Having just witnessed that miraculous scene, Sister Xiao felt even more respect for the benefactor Ma Dou had mentioned.

She quickly grabbed the kettle from the side, poured a glass of water for Cheng Yunmo, and put it down.

"What would you like to eat? I'll go buy it."

Cheng Yunmo then realized that the two of them might need her help.

"Sister Xiao, is there anything I can help you with?"

Cheng Yunmo didn't expect that as soon as he asked the question, Sister Xiao's eyes turned red and she burst into tears.

"Please save my daughter! I... I'm willing to give you all my money, if you're willing to save her!"

Cheng Yunmo then belatedly realized that it seemed that Sister Xiao had seen her abilities and thought she could save people.

In fact, if the other side of time and space were Xu Guo, based on her understanding of Xu Guo, this matter would not be difficult. However, if this matter is related to seeing the machine world, she cannot guarantee that she can bring back the person she wants to bring back from the machine world.

When Cheng Yunmo hesitated, Sister Xiao probably realized that she would refuse.

Just as she was about to kneel down and beg Cheng Yunmo for his consent, Ma Dou, who was standing to the side, no longer had a smile on his face.

He grabbed his colleague, Sister Xiao's, arm, stopping her from kneeling down.

"Are you forcing your benefactor to agree, even if they don't want to?"

Ma Dou wouldn't disregard whether his benefactor was willing or not just because they were colleagues.

Cheng Yunmo hadn't expected that the young man she had rescued this time would care so much about her situation.

This made her feel much more relaxed and she breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Sister Xiao realized that the two people present must have thought that she was too afraid to go by herself, so they deliberately sent someone else to do the dangerous thing.

"No, that's not how it is. I went there. I really wanted to find my daughter, but in that vast mechanical world, there were machines everywhere. There was no flat ground at all. As soon as a person went there, I don't know where the weight couldn't bear it, and they would be directly digested by the machines and disappear."

When Sister Xiao brought up this matter, her eyes were filled with despair.

"My husband doesn't care about this. He says we have a son at home, so he's unwilling to help. I had to take my parents with me to look for him, and then...and then..."

The truth was so heavy that it was almost unbearable to think about. Sister Xiao suppressed her grief and said, "My parents are both dead. If they hadn't desperately pulled me back, I wouldn't be here now."

Ma Dou looked at Sister Xiao with a somewhat incredulous expression. Even now, she wasn't thinking about asking for leave and going back to properly bury her parents.

Sister Xiao naturally knew why Ma Dou was looking at her with such disapproval.

“I have perfect attendance these past few days, which earns me several hundred yuan. That’s just enough for me to buy a coffin.”

Sister Xiao said this with some shame.

She was short a few hundred yuan, so this was the only way.

Upon hearing this, Ma Dou quickly took out his wallet.

“I didn’t know this happened in your family. Here’s a thousand yuan, take it and use it first.”

Cheng Yunmo never expected that Sister Xiao's life would turn out like this.

"I can go and take a look for you."

Cheng Yunmo agreed.

Sister Xiao was extremely grateful and prepared to go with them.

Ma Dou initially thought that Sister Xiao didn't care about her benefactor's situation at all, but now he felt that since Sister Xiao's family was in trouble, and he couldn't just watch his benefactor go to such a dangerous place, he decided to go with her.

“My benefactor, you let me go with you. I’m all alone at home now. If you save me, I don’t want to just stand by and watch you do something dangerous without helping you.”

Cheng Yunmo was stunned. Wasn't what Sister Xiao had just said clear enough? Both of the old people had died in the mechanical world.

This shows that the place they went to wasn't exactly a fun place.

"You mustn't go. It would be such a shame if you went and never came back."

However, a glint of light shone in Ma Dou's eyes.

"My benefactor, so you won't encounter any danger if you go? But you still went anyway." Ma Dou said without thinking.
