500: Don’t believe the news.
500: Don’t believe the news.
Maggie sighed.
“It’s the same pitch their watchers give every system host they want to entice, old or new.
They promise glory and grandeur and then make you do a whole lot of dirty work in order to trap you.
Everyone on the dark side has taken the life of an innocent person, it’s like their initiation ritual.
They keep such evidence and bring it out if you try to leave.
It can be leaked on the internet, sent to the police or your loved ones, leaving you with no way out but death, usually at your own hands or hiding for the rest of your life.” The more Alix heard, the angrier she became.
“I am wise enough to see through those snake oil salesmen they are but others that are naive and they will easily buy into their shit.
Their goals are dangerous and their methods are worse.” She looked at the the chaos around her and shook her head.
Did they have to go this far just to convince one system host to join their side?
The chaos here was unnecessary if they wanted to talk to her.
They could have approached her at school, her mall, when she was out to eat or any other place and not blown up cars or injured people.
“Like i said, incinerator, starting with the woman we just met.
Her system is not even worth eating.” her system chimed in again.
The look of heavy disgust on it’s face could not be disguised with anything.
Obviously, even if that system was dipped in honey, her blue elf would not lick it.
Standing around made her feel useless and a part of her felt partially responsible for the mess.
The least she could do was help out.
“What can i do?
Should i join the group handling evacuations or something else?” Maggie shook his head.
“Go home and get some sleep, the clean up team is handling everything.
You sticking around although noble is not necessarily a good thing.
There are many people here with cameras so you could get filmed and end up on the news.” He pointed to Majesty’s head.
“This little one is quite sleepy, you should take him home.” Alix was reluctant but she saw the wisdom in his words.
If she was caught on camera at the scene, people would wonder what she was doing there at 4 a.m.
“You don’t need to morph into a dragon, one of the cleaners…err..officers can drop you home.” He waved a policeman at the scene.
“Take her home, Blossom courts.” Alix followed him and he drove her back to Blossom courts in perfect silence.
Not a single word was said through the entire journey.
When she arrived, she found Caishen awake, waiting for her in the living room.
She had left him in bed so it was a bit unexpected to see him up already.
He wasn’t alone, Wu Gang was awake as well and they were watching the news.
She joined them and sat down.”Why are you guys awake?” “Wu Wei is snoring.” Wu Gang mumbled unhappily.
He had a thick blanket covering his legs and there was a hot cup of milk on a small wooden table in front of him.
“Big sis, i want my own room or a sound proof partition between me and Wei.” “Tell me when you decide on which.” she told him.
He covered himself fully and turned around, giving them his back.
Obviously he planned to sleep in the living room.
Caishen lowered the volume of the television and pulled her closer.
“Where have you been?
Your side of the bed was cold when i opened my eyes and Majesty was nowhere to be seen.” “Out, meeting someone from the dark side.” He looked at her curiously.
“And you didn’t take me with you!
How could you do something so dangerous like that?” he hissed.
She looked at Wu Gang and then shushed him.
“Keep your voice down hubby we don’t want the whole house to hear us.
I was not alone, the bureau followed me which i knew they would do right from the beginning.
Most importantly, you are our secret weapon, we cannot risk them finding out about you.” He grabbed her gloved hands and held them between his, firmly.
“I am still unhappy.” The tightness on his face expressed just how unhappy he was.
“You should have at least woken me up and told me where you were going.” She laughed lightly as if it was funny.
“Then we would both have been ended up awake for no reason, losing precious sleeping time.” He shook his head, put his arms around her and touched his head to hers.
“I don’t care if i lose a months worth of sleep, you matter to me more than sleep.
Stop, please, please stop making me worry Alix.
I am not a twenty year old man anymore, my heart cannot take much more excitement from you.” She responded by chortling and bumping her shoulder against his chest.
“I had no idea that you were such an old man.
I should begin calling you old Zhang, it’s better than hubby Zhang given your very old age.” “That’s not funny.” “Yes it is.” she chuckled.
“Is your little field trip related to the news on television by any chance?
There is a report of a couple of explosions at a church.
I saw Rui Yi Sao on the news and i knew it was definitely special case related.
I don’t even trust the news anymore, they are calling this a case of accidental setting off of fireworks by a group of teenagers.
They even showed unclear footage of the police making arrests and taking three teenage boys away in their cars.
I guess the teenagers are somehow related to the bureau.
They will be let off after making a few apologies and the injured people will be compensated.
What happened out there?” She sighed and closed her eyes.
“It was them, the dark side.
They made that mess in order to buy a few moments of privacy with me so that their watcher could try and convince me to join their side.
You should have heard her Caishen, she was talking about ordinary humans as if they are a lower species and them…us, extraordinary.
These people, i don’t think they are living in the same reality as the rest of us, they have drunk the cool aid.
If they are determined to have their way, i have a feeling that things might get worse before they get better.
If things show signs of becoming bad, we should hide everyone in the hidden city.” “You sound worried.” He raised his head and turned her shoulders to look are him.
“Are you scared?” “Not for myself.” she diverted her eyes and looked at Wu Gang.
He was already sleeping, or so it appeared.
“God i hate this,” she said after taking a deep breath.
“It is supposed to be fun having a system.
Do the missions, become rich and have a successful life.
Why are they ruining it?” “Because for a certain system out there, fun is not enough and power is the goal.” Her system shared.
Alix was not looking at the virtual screen, she she didn’t see its clenched fists.
