Chapter 177
Before Chi Yanxun could react to what this meant, his vision went black. A certain sealed memory rushed into his brain like turbulent seawater.
He leaned against the elevator wall for a while before barely suppressing the discomfort. The elevator opened with a ding. The person outside was startled seeing his pale face. The person walked in and asked kindly, “Sir, are you okay?”
Chi Yanxun shook his head. He had recovered, but a massive amount of information was still stored in his brain, undigested.
His face was ashen as he pressed the button for the underground garage on B2.
The concerned passerby also pressed the button for their desired floor. Seeing his face, they couldn’t help asking, “Are you really okay? Maybe you should see a doctor.”
Chi Yanxun said stiffly, “Thanks, no need.”
The kind passerby dropped the subject.
Arriving at the garage, Chi Yanxun got into his car. He had driven himself today. The scent of fresh flowers still lingered in the car, but now the scent turned into needles, stimulating his nerves bit by bit.
He rolled down the window for a while, leaned his head against the seat back, and closed his eyes.
Not long after, he opened them again. His well-defined fingers unbuttoned the top button of his shirt. He asked coldly: [Why are you back again?]
The Luck System said: [Host, of course I came back because you have a need.]
Before Chi Yanxun could speak, the Luck System added: [Don’t worry. I can get whatever you want for you. Right now, do you want to be with Shen Shuyu?]
Chi Yanxun looked outside: [And then?]
[I will help you! And your taste is really accurate! Recently, the magnetic field of your world has changed a bit, and Shen Shuyu is the reason for the change.]
Chi Yanxun frowned: [What do you mean?]
The Luck System said: [It means he is about to become the sub-center of the world. This is also why I came back.]
Chi Yanxun hummed low: [And then?]
The Luck System said: [We cannot change who the main center of the world is. But the sub-center can change due to various reasons. You knew this five years ago, so I won’t elaborate.]
The Luck System continued: [Although we haven’t found out why Shen Shuyu suddenly moved toward being the sub-center, the only thing certain is that it should be related to his frequent communication with the main center.]
The System paused: [Oh~ forgot to say, the main center of your world is your classmate Shen Xili!]
Shen Xili?
It was actually him?!
Five years ago, this thing called the Luck System found him, but at that time, it couldn’t detect who the world’s main center was. Unexpectedly, it was Shen Xili!
No wonder. After the System left, Chi Yanxun did everything smoothly. Only after this Shen Xili arrived did some things become very subtle.
After all, between main and sub, naturally, main is superior.
The System in his mind was still chattering some nonsense. Chi Yanxun pressed his temples: [Cut the crap, what should I do?]
Luck paused: [Host, it’s actually very simple. Just make everything go back to the right track.]
Back to the right track?
Chi Yanxun looked thoughtful. What kind of right track?
Inside the ward.
The System, having been beaten up with a set of military boxing, came online weakly: [Host~]
Shen Shuyu said grumpily: [What?]
The System said: [Just reporting to you. I tracked Black Robe’s traces and found a way to let Shen Yisi and the others know. There shouldn’t be any major problems later; you can rest assured!]
That was good news. Shen Shuyu poked his head out of the quilt. He asked: [Are Shen Xili and the Star Thieves done? Don’t let it be that after Zhong goes, Black Robe comes, and after Black Robe is solved, a White Robe comes or something.]
Endless trouble; he felt tired for Shen Xili.
The System said: [Rest assured, Host! Shen Xili is the main center of the world. Even if a few more colorful robes come, it doesn’t matter!]
…But he and Wen Jiafei weren’t!
Shen Shuyu thought of the two bruises on Wen Jiafei’s neck from being pinched. He didn’t like to express himself. Even when the doctor asked him during the checkup just now, he just said indifferently that he was fine.
How could he be fine!
And that Black Robe was too supernatural, actually able to travel through space!
Shen Shuyu couldn’t help asking the System why he hadn’t seen this before, and the protagonists didn’t seem to have this kind of fantasy-leaning ability either.
The System said: [Host, sometimes novel worlds are hard to understand with normal thinking. Let’s put it this way: this is Amor. Outside Amor, there are other planets. The original author also wrote stories about other planets, and the settings would definitely be different. The Star Thieves group itself captures people from various planets. There are many you haven’t seen.]
Shen Shuyu half-understood.
The System said: [But this isn’t important. We only need to focus on things on Planet Amor.]
Shen Shuyu nodded: [Understood. But there shouldn’t be people like this in the future, right?]
[Shouldn’t be.] The System spoke very vaguely.
Shouldn’t?
Shen Shuyu expressed a bit of disbelief.
The System added: [But Host, I have one more thing to tell you.]
The System became serious, making Shen Shuyu nervous too: [What? Is it about Wen Jiafei or Shen Xili?]
[Neither.] The System said: [Just now, I sensed another system.]
Another system?
Shen Shuyu didn’t quite understand: [Is someone else here to do missions too?]
[The energy fields between us systems can actually sense each other too. But that system isn’t managed by our Master Brain, so I don’t know specifically what it does. Telling you is just to let you be mentally prepared.] The System said.
[Then won’t you be sensed too?] Shen Shuyu asked back.
[That won’t happen.] The System became proud at this moment: [I am a system with a formal serial number. Unlike that system that popped out from nowhere, it can’t sense me.]
It almost said the words ‘the opponent system is trash.’
Shen Shuyu watched the proud big tail the System conjured up wagging so fast it created afterimages. He said helplessly: [Fine, hurry up and investigate clearly.]
After all, those who come are not friendly, and those who are friendly do not come.
After the System went offline, Shen Shuyu got out of bed. He had no mood to rest now.
He wanted to check on the other two.
Just heard from the System that Shen Xili went to the police station, so only Wen Jiafei was in the room next to him.
Shen Shuyu stood at the door and looked inside. Unfortunately, the curtain by the bed was drawn, so he couldn’t see the situation inside.
Shen Shuyu thought for a moment, then opened the door lightly and walked in. Behind the curtain, Wen Jiafei was resting under a thin quilt.
Medicine was applied to the bruises on his neck; who knew when they would heal. The hospital gown made him look extremely delicate right now.
Shen Shuyu thought of something. He looked around but didn’t see the set of clothes Wen Jiafei had changed out of.
It must have been Shen Yisi’s order to have them washed. He always did things thoughtfully and properly.
Shen Shuyu’s gaze returned to Wen Jiafei.
So… why did he hug him at that time?
Although he didn’t see Wen Jiafei’s expression at that time, judging from the strength of his hug, he seemed to be afraid of something.
Was the fear of explosives real?
Then shouldn’t he dodge?
Shen Shuyu pursed his lips. He wanted to ask just now but was embarrassed to ask. After all, thinking back on this matter, Wen Jiafei probably felt quite awkward too.
Forget it.
Better not ask.
Shen Shuyu looked at him twice more, preparing to go back to his ward lightly. Just as he turned around, he heard the person behind him call him.
“Shen Shuyu.”
