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

The tall, thin man kept replaying what he had done in his mind.

They entered Joey's consciousness space without any problems.

The virus was successfully implanted into Joey's system.

He had clearly implanted the latest virus into the system under the guise of repair. With just one press of Enter, the virus would paralyze the system, and Joey's consciousness would be unable to connect to the system again, forever locked here.

Why……

Why is the system still able to restrain him even though it's fine?

"Yiyi... cough, listen to me, I'm doing this for you."

The tall, thin man licked his lips, unable to resist looking back, trying to analyze the system further.

And to buy themselves time.

“Yiyi, this system has its flaws. It’s a defective product that I made back then. It can’t be used with you. You should use a better system. What I said earlier was actually… actually the same as what Qiao Zan did, it was all for your own good.”

"I don't want you to have any compassion. I'll go back and destroy this system, and I'll replace it with a new one for you!"

Joey glanced back at her system.

It just so happens that everyone was watching her too.

The two looked at each other and immediately revealed similar wicked smiles.

Joey said, "What's with that bastard's nonsense? He thinks we're stupid and dumb~ Little does he know, he's the stupid one!"

"Yeah, baby, hahaha, there are always fools who think they're so smart, but actually it's all part of our plan~"

Both of them looked at the tall, thin man again and simultaneously pulled down their eye sockets.

"Idiot~ Hehehe~"

Joey rarely acts childishly, so this was probably a chance for her to relax.

After all, palace intrigue is inherently exhausting.

It's all scheming, but whether the other person falls for it is another matter.

She was still very happy to see the other party fall into the trap, just like when you're doing a multiple-choice question and the answer "whoosh" jumps in.

Joey exhaled and put on a serious expression.

With a flick of her sleeve, she walked up to the tall, thin man, raised her hand, pinched his chin, and twisted his face directly towards her.

"Just looking at your face makes me uncomfortable. Do you know why I've always been wary of you? When Qiao Zan stabbed me, I looked at you, and you only made eye contact with me for a moment before you ran away in a panic."

You even knocked over two trash cans. How scared must you be?

It's normal to be scared when you witness something like this, but your statement that you'd die for me contradicts your actions, which is why I believe you're unlikely to change.

The system took over the conversation.

"So, Baozi, he really hasn't changed. Look how scared he is."

When we were preparing food for the baby, he said he had nothing to eat and was relying on Qiao Zan's yang energy, but I detected crumbs of cake on his clothes.

"Once you've finished eating, just say so. You're relying on yang energy; there's only one point: you still have some left, and you don't want to divide it."

Joey slapped the tall, thin man's face hard with her other hand.

“You haven’t uttered a single truth, and you even want to kill me, so don’t blame me for being impolite. I didn’t care about your cowardice before, but if you want to kill me, then don’t go back. Your consciousness will remain here forever.”

The tall, thin man swallowed hard in fear.

"Then where exactly was my virus implanted?!"

The system shook its princess-cut hair and combed it into a ponytail in front of the mirror.

He looks quite cool with the rubber band in his mouth.

For a moment, Joey felt that it wasn't genderless; it was a man.

"Your virus will naturally go to the place you least want to go."

"The one you least want to go to?"

"Yu Yutong is currently paralyzed, completely unable to determine its location or carry out its mission. How about that? Happy, aren't you!"

The tall, thin man glared.

"You...you actually transferred the virus to it?!"

Joey's system shrugged, indicating that wasn't that normal, why keep the offspring?

"When did you take control of Qiao Yu's system? When I arrived, you hadn't even made any contact with him. How did you manage to take control?!"

Joey's system floated in the air and gently patted Joey's head.

"Of course, this still depends on my precious child~ Every time my precious child has contact with Qiao Yu and Qiao Zan, she is on guard, so much so that when I suppressed Qiao Zan's system and Qiao Yu's system earlier, she had already read their memories~"

Simply reading isn't enough; I'm socially awkward! To avoid secondary interaction, I need to control them all at once, so I won't speak to them the next time we meet. Isn't that a basic principle for every socially awkward person?

Joey's system chuckled, thanking the man for giving it one less set of gene sequences.

Otherwise, where would it find such a good host?

You can let it be socially awkward~

The system clenched its fist so tightly it made a "crackling" sound.

He walked in front of Joey, blocking her view.

"Hmm~ Do you know why I'm not socially anxious around you?"

The tall, thin man's eyes trembled incessantly.

The system chuckled, leaned close to the man's ear, and said, "Because a soul that can't leave won't make me socially anxious. You will stay here forever."

Immediately afterwards, the system conjured up boxing gloves, the kind covered in spikes.

"There won't be any bloodshed, but you will feel pain."

Then, once, twice... ten times.

The man initially screamed in pain, but later became mostly silent.

The system, however, seemed to get more and more excited as it played.

"You're such a liar! You kept saying you loved our baby, but all you wanted was research results. You're despicable and shameless!"

After the system finished typing, Joey clapped her hands.

"Just throw them into the six flower-dyed spaces, explain the situation, there's no hiding anything~"

"learn!"

When the tall, thin man caught his breath, he struggled to say, "Joey, Joey! I'm useful. Use me, I can help you..."

"Help me? No need."

Joey is now perfectly clear-headed.

Qiao Yu and Qiao Zan are not the same person.

Qiao Yu, this man, and the shadowy figure behind him are all connected by a thread.

She has destroyed the essence of the line.

Qiao Yu's line of command has completely collapsed.

When the system returned, it said, "Baby, I just tried to interrogate him. That guy said he didn't know anything about the baby girl's father. Do you think... he might just be being stubborn?"

Joey shook her head.

"The baby girl's biological father is another storyline. The Qilin is connected to the baby girl's biological father, and also to the disappearance of Qiao Zan, Qiao Yu, and others."

The system was taken aback.

"A Qilin?! No... how is that possible? You mean, did the Qilin make the baby girl's biological father do this? Wasn't the Qilin eaten from the beginning?"

The system says that although its large screen also displays what is happening outside.

They knew that Hua Ran and the others had encountered the spirit of a Qilin after its death, but how could it still help the people who had eaten it?

Joey chuckled.

"That wasn't the spirit of a dead Qilin at all. It's true that these guys ate Qilin meat, but how could a Qilin be so huge? Could a village of a few dozen people really kill a Qilin?"
