My lady, don't be angry. I'm letting you touch my big tail.

Qiao Dawang and the others certainly didn't believe this tall, thin man.

But the tall, thin man told Joey a lot of things.

The system was explained in particular.

The system's principle is to implant a soul, something they don't understand, but they grasp the general idea.

More importantly, there's Inugami. Without Joey, he wouldn't be able to solve his sister's problems at all.

Even if she manages to escape the village and survive the jaws of that blood-soaked Qilin, there will be no peace afterward. As long as the Shadow Monster remains, it will always be a danger to her sister.

However, before Inugami could speak, Hanazono spoke first.

"Can you really wake up my wife?"

"It's not a big problem, and besides me, none of you can do anything about it."

The tall, thin man smiled again.

“I would never harm her. Now that Qiao Zan and Qiao Yu are missing, I can only survive in this village by relying on Yi Yi, so you don’t need to worry at all.”

Hua Ran's shoulders trembled again, and she sobbed several times.

She took a small handkerchief and wiped away her tears.

"How about... we give it a try?"

Qiao Dawang wanted to say something, but Hua Ran didn't let him.

The tall, thin man was delighted and immediately squatted down beside Qiao Yi, saying, "In this matriarchal world, you are quite enlightened. No wonder Yi Yi likes you."

Hua Ran looked into his eyes, didn't respond to his question, but instead asked a question.

“My wife said that you have liked her for a long time and have always had a crush on her. But when she asked you for help, you ran away. Do you think such a love can last?”

The tall, thin man answered easily, "I was timid and cowardly back then, but it's different now. I can do anything for her. I'm here to atone for my sins."

"Okay, go do what you can do."

The tall, thin man immediately went over with delight and stroked Joey's forehead.

Soon, his consciousness was taken over by Joey.

I gladly entered the system's consciousness space.

See? No one who owns a system would not want to fine-tune it.

He wanted to take this opportunity to make sure that Joey could no longer use the system and would never wake up again.

In reality, his body collapsed.

Hua Ran gave a cold laugh at the body.

"Liar~ Your lies are so cheap, no wonder my wife never liked you from the start."

Qiao Dawang was the closest, and he was taken aback when he heard this.

"You sly fox, what are you saying?"

Hua Ran looked up, her shoulders trembling again, tears welling up in her eyes.

She still covered her face with a small handkerchief.

"Waaah... My poor wife, she kindly helped that guy, and he actually hurt her... This matter wasn't even settled yet, and she got into trouble herself first..."

Hua Ran wiped away her tears, stood up, and carried Qiao Yi on her back.

"My wife must be trying her best to wake up from her unconsciousness, so we can't waste this time. I can't let that man go either."

With that, Hua Ran went out first.

Qiao Dawan opened and closed his mouth.

He seemed to realize something and felt a chill run down his spine.

The fox spirit... probably let him go time and time again because he was just Joey's beast.

If one day he rebels against Joey, or does something to harm Joey, then the vixen won't need to use any force; she might just be outmaneuvered.

As for the tall, thin man, after his consciousness entered Joey's consciousness space, he had been searching for Joey.

"Yiyi, Yiyi?"

On the pitch-black road, suddenly, there was light at the end.

Joey stood there, with her system standing next to her.

The entire space of consciousness then appears.

The tall, thin man immediately ran over, his expression one of extreme worry.

"Yiyi, you've suffered very serious injuries. Your consciousness can't activate the system anymore, can it?"

According to common sense, any host that is compatible with the system will trigger system protection after being injured, unless they die directly.

It means the system protects its consciousness from being violated.

However, similarly, this constitutes overprotection, also known as maximizing protection.

Therefore, if the host's consciousness wants to leave the system, human intervention is required.

Since Joey didn't have much contact with Joezan and the others in this world, it's impossible that the system was shut down first.

Thinking of this, the tall, thin man ran over.

"Yiyi, don't worry! Now that my consciousness has entered, I can cure anything that's a system issue!"

Joey sighed, pointed to the computer screen next to her, and said, "It just won't start... If it won't start, I'll be stuck in the consciousness space. Luckily you came in."

The tall, thin man was overjoyed upon hearing this.

He immediately went to the screen.

Just as he was about to make a move, Qiao Yi stopped him.

"Wait a minute, have you thought it through? Do you really want to use this method?"

The tall, thin man seemed a bit impatient.

"Of course, this is the only way. I've debugged countless systems, and besides, as I told you before, there are many things you don't know."

Seeing that Joey didn't stop him, he went to the screen, moving his hands across the letter keys as he spoke.

"Your system couldn't match the host at first, right? I remember going through many twists and turns, and when no one wanted it and it was about to be destroyed, it was finally able to adapt to you."

There's a reason for all of this. Initially, I deliberately destroyed a string of memory genes in the system, intending to conduct an experiment.

The man spoke nonchalantly.

He stated that everything was for the sake of the experiment.

But he's different from others.

As his colleagues became more successful, his skills could no longer stand out among them, so he had to resort to other methods to gain attention.

It means... destroying the system.

If he can create a system with a particularly bad temper, and when the system eventually commits numerous evils and is destroyed, he can also become famous.

But unexpectedly, the system with one less gene pair was able to match with Joey.

He found it strange, and only found out later when Joey died.

"Yiyi, it turns out you're not from the system world. Your soul was originally in the system world, and it couldn't match the system. I didn't expect that the system, which is missing a set of genes, would be a perfect match for you."

This is also why your system keeps generating strange missions in this world.

His hands were still tapping the letter keys.

The screen displays strings of data characters.

As he pressed Enter, he said, "Okay, Yiyi, I'm sorry, you can never go back."

This system is truly a breakthrough, a breakthrough in another world.

So if I bring the system back, I can redeem myself in front of my colleagues. None of them discovered this achievement; I'll be the first! Haha…

And you, I can only say I'm sorry, your consciousness will remain in the realm of consciousness forever, never to awaken again.

But the next moment, many shackles appeared on the screen, binding the tall, thin man.

The man was startled.

"What...what's going on!?"

The system rubbed its temples.

"Now you're destined to live here forever~"
