Chapter 129
Chapter 129
Liu Zikang still remembers the thirteenth night a few months ago after his eldest brother disappeared.
She happily enjoyed life in the prison specially prepared for her. Except for not being able to go out, her elder brother prepared everything she needed for food and drink, even some ancient arithmetic books. Liu Zikang still wanted to complete the task and return to the real world to continue his studies.
She was in a good mood and did some arithmetic, then put it aside and started reading the travel notes.
Recently, the eldest brother was busy and had not contacted her, so she was sensible enough not to bother him. If it hadn't been for the eldest brother's timely help during the rebellion mission in the first year, she would have died countless times. He sent messages on the system to give her advice from time to time. She was poisoned and almost killed by his men, but it was the eldest brother who appeared in time, like a god, to keep her alive.
Liu Zikang had thought about abandoning this life-threatening identity, but in such an ancient society, he needed a pass to go out, and there was still a curfew except for grand festivals. He was incapable of inventing and manufacturing, and he was not good at writing ancient poems or essays. He could not carry anything on his shoulders or lift his hands, so it was almost impossible for him to fulfill his mission of being a "parasite".
Finally she had made it to the present moment, and she was too lazy to think about the torture of being torn apart by five horses. System 937 had registered such a difficult task for its underage host because of its hasty actions, and was too ashamed to speak out. When Liu Zikang begged it to teleport when it first arrived in the world, it betrayed its principles and teleported its host to Ni Yangzhou, and was severely punished by the Lord God. Recently, it had been in a state of low battery and was always in hibernation.
Before falling asleep, as if entrusting her last wishes to Liu Zikang, she told Liu Zikang to hold Ni Yangzhou's thighs tightly. In this small world, Ni Yangzhou was the most likely person to help her complete the task.
Liu Zikang felt that she was pretty good and that she held her brother very tightly. Her brother would even give her snacks on his own initiative, and she truly regarded her brother as a relative.
But that night, Min Liu came.
At first, he didn't say anything, but just stared at her with his dark phoenix eyes for a long time, then asked:
"Have you seen him?"
Both people present knew who that "he" was.
Liu Zikang climbed down from the bed in panic, not caring that in the eyes of others she seemed to be waving and poking at the air, and just hurriedly sent a message to her only friend.
But the other party never responded again.
Liu Zikang moved closer to the translucent interface and saw a small bracket next to his eldest brother's name, with a row of small words in the bracket.
[Status: Ghost].
She slid to the ground exhausted, her mind in a mess. Is her elder brother dead? How could it be? He is in the state of a "ghost". Is that because his soul has left his body?
She knew that the young man had been staring at her, but she didn't feel like paying attention. She just kept calling 937, and finally got a weak response from the system. When Liu Zikang told her what happened, 937 thought for a while and answered uncertainly:
"There may still be a chance of a turnaround. In a world with ghosts and gods, even if you become a ghost, it doesn't mean you will fail. If the mission is successfully completed in the world line, the host's mission will also succeed naturally. Kang Kang, even without him, you have to find a way to complete the mission..."
I couldn't say any more words of comfort because the noise of 937's electrical current drowned out my words and silence returned to my mind.
Liu Zikang stared blankly at his elder brother's chat window, his hands and feet freezing cold from the ground.
"Do you know how he is?"
The young man watched the whole process, his heart felt like it was immersed in ice water. He intuitively felt that the answer from the other party might not be the answer he wanted.
Liu Zikang raised his head, looked at the young man, tried to calm himself down, and stood up.
"Are you the emperor?"
Liu Zikang walked closer step by step, not afraid, but just asked directly with a hint of anxiety.
In the past ten days, Min Liu used up all the elixirs left by his brother, and searched every inch of the palace, the observatory, and any place his brother might have been. Every moment was heartbreaking and painful, and his anxiety made him unable to tell the passage of time. When he became a little more sober, he finally remembered this "little brother" who was favored by his brother.
He had a premonition on his way here.
"Not yet." The young man answered truthfully, his mind churning over those precise words of his brother, exploding in his brain like boiling water.
"I tell you."
Liu Zikang saw Min Liu's face change and realized that he could no longer panic, so he sat down opposite the young man.
"There are some things I can't say clearly, or I'll be punished."
Liu Zikang gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "But I guess whether my brother can come back and succeed depends on you."
937 has been dormant. If he says anything revealing anything, he might be punished by electric shock from the main system. Liu Zikang doesn't know if being punished like this will stain his credit, but at this moment, if he doesn't explain clearly, his mission at this time will definitely be over.
"You must ascend the throne, and you must draw me into pieces."
Ni Yangzhou did not tell Liu Zikang about the requirements of the task he was going to complete. It was just the conclusions and guesses that Liu Zikang made through observation.
"My brother said so. If I finish this, he will come back?"
Liu Zikang closed his mouth and shook his head, choosing his words carefully: "Brother is not from here."
Liu Zikang pointed to the ground and said, "He is just like me. He has to do something. Only when he finishes it can he be considered successful. And he has to do it. He has to do it, no matter if he wants to or not."
Min Liu looked straight into the other person's eyes.
"What if it fails?"
“It was a complete failure.”
"It failed. It's gone. You know what? It disappeared. I can't find it anywhere."
There was a deep sense of powerlessness in Liu Zikang's words.
"Think about what Big Brother expected and asked of you before, and go and fulfill his expectations."
Thinking of what Ni Yangzhou had said to him in the chat area before, about when he would help her complete the task, Liu Zikang added:
"Pay attention to the time limit, some tasks..."
Liu Zikang fell to the ground screaming after blurting out these words. His internal organs seemed to be shattered into a paste and his head seemed to be pierced through by an awl. Cold sweat streamed down his back. Min Liu looked at the man in front of him lying on the ground with a hideous look on his face and fainted.
This, he thought, was the punishment his brother might receive.
His brother, the omnipotent brother, the brother who had everything under control, could be punished by such an invisible force and turned into a puddle of painful mud on the ground.
Min Liu's heart suddenly tightened.
The person lying on the ground finally woke up, and what he saw were the other person's animal-like, emotionless eyes. When those eyes looked at Ni Yangzhou, they were always shy and smiling, but looking at them again now, he couldn't dig out any emotion at all.
The young man squatted beside her and asked:
"You are also... one of the things that need to be done. If you die and complete it, will your brother come back?"
Liu Zikang's back was soaked with cold sweat. Just like the many times she encountered murderous intent, she thought quickly and answered in a hoarse voice:
"You have to die the way you deserve. And..."
Liu Zikang raised his head and answered without hiding anything or fear: "Big brother said he would help me complete my task."
"Big brother loves me."
The young man narrowed his eyes and stood up suddenly.
Don’t mess around. My brother likes kind people.
You can't just kill them.
