Chapter 674: System’s Grain Reserve

“System can you let his demonic Qi out now?” Lonemoon pointed to Two Bucks Zuo on the bed and turned towards the cube.

[Of course!]

An ‘okay’ emoticon immediately flashed on the translucent system cube. Since it gained a body, even its manner speaking became much more humane and it even came with emoticons.

[The seal on him is a very low-level space technique, there are many loopholes, it can simply be released through the back door.]

As it spoke, it flew directly above Two Bucks Zuo, a moment later, the entire cube radiated a white light that swept towards the back of his waist, where the demonic Qi was locked in. A while later, a string of characters that resembled a code flashed across Two Bucks Zuo’s body, shreds of black wobbly gases floated out of his body.

Yi Qing promptly conjured a spell, those demonic Qi streamed out like they were being pulled and flowed steadily into his palm. In a short while, a ball the size of a basin was gathered.

Until all the demonic Qi were drawn out, Yi Qing then summoned the True Phoenix Fire and burned it all.

Lonemoon frowned, though such a ball of demonic Qi was really nothing to the Demon Clan, if the average immortal was infected by it, it would take some time to completely dispel it, yet to humans, even such low level Foundation Establishment cultivators like Two Bucks Zuo, if he doesn’t die, he would turn demonic.

This move of Shu Yi was really rather harsh, she was trying to make sure that Two Bucks Zuo won’t have a place to stand on amongst the orthodox sects and be totally reduced to a fiendish cultivator.

[Reporting to Big Boss, the substance locked in that space has been completely removed!]

The system retracted the white light and circled Shen Ying like it was seeking credit.

Lonemoon released his divine perception for a check and found that the special energy was still in Two Bucks Zuo’s body, but the aura of the demonic Qi was totally gone. He instantly heaved a sigh of relief. Recalling the system’s words from earlier, he could not help but ask, “System, earlier on, you said that the sealing technique in his body was very low level, what did you mean?”

[Such sealing technique is the most elementary one, when I left the factory, it’d essentially been out of use already.]

Lonemoon’s eyes lit up. “You mean that, you’re at a higher level than the system who did the locking?”

[A system with such a sealing technique loaded in it is probably a version older than me.] The system replied in all seriousness, though there were no changes in its tone, the translucent cube had already shown several tsundere little flowers.

“Then can you separate it from its tie to the host?” Lonemoon was delighted. If this Parenting system could settle that 001, it would save them a lot of trouble, they wouldn’t have to wait till the invader escapes this plane to strike too.

[In theory, yes.]

Lonemoon and Yi Qing exchanged a glance, joy evident in their expressions. On the contrary, Shen Ying who was munching on a fruit at the side suddenly paused and glanced at the little cube, seeming to be in deep thought.

“On the right below this floating peak, there is a system named 001, can you catch it?” Lonemoon turned and pointed outside the window as he spoke.

[It is the pleasure of CIEH12 model support system to serve you.]

With that said, the system flew directly to the window, a white light started to radiate from the blue cube again.

[Ding! Activated range scanning… target found! Confirmed serial number 001, preparing to invade backstage… backstage… chaos… warning! Warning!]

The system’s blue cube suddenly shook, where there used to be a pair of small eyes, now had all sorts of disordered codes scrolling past, even the system’s voice became unstable, coupled with static noises like it was stuck, more importantly, something was about to leave the cube.

“What’s going on!” Lonemoon and Yi Qing’s expression changed, it couldn’t have crashed with just a scan.

On the contrary, Shen Ying stepped forward and reached out to tap on some spot on the blue cube, a lighted screen popped out instantly. Shen Ying stuffed the fruit into her mouth and held it then while both hands tapped swiftly across the screen. A while later, the disordered codes were cleared and the symbol of a lock took their place, the while light then dimmed and the cube went silent.

“Is this system okay?” Lonemoon asked anxiously, no matter how he looked at it, it seemed like something had gone wrong. “What was that earlier?”

Shen Ying stopped and the lighted screen disappeared too, she then took her fruit from her mouth and took a bite before replying, “It’s fine, just crashed into a firewall.”

“…” This gadget even has a firewall? What happened to the top class system!

As he was in his thoughts, a pair of cartoon-like eyes appeared on the dim blue cube again, it blinked twice, as if it was just rebooted. But in the next second, the whole system suddenly let out a beeping warning sound.

[Warning! Warning! Rebelling system that robs consciousness discovered, critical violation! Critical violation! Report to Interstellar court immediately, report immediately… connection to interstellar web failed! Connecting again…]

The system seemed to have malfunctioned, the entire cube bounced around the room and even crashed into the wall several times.

Lonemoon: “…”

Yi Qing: “…”

Shen Ying: “…”

What was going on? Has the system gone mad?

Lonemoon could not bear to watch on and reached out to pull the system who was still crashing into the wall back. “What’s with this system? Infected by a virus?”

The system’s cartoon eyes blinked twice, before it seemed to come back to its senses, A string of exclamation marks scrolled past on the translucent cube and it spoke urgently.

[Big Boss, Big Boss, that system has stolen the consciousness of a living thing and fused it into its consciousness, this has severely violated the basic regulations of the system. Please flog it!]

“I got it.” Shen Ying answered.

Huh?

The system lagged for a moment and blinked its pair of eyes.

Instead Lonemoon and Yi Qing were wholly confused. “What did that mean? What stealing?”

[At the beginning of the creation of our system, we’re all a string of numbers, it is very difficult for a consciousness to develop, especially an elementary system like the other one, there is essentially no possibility of a consciousness developing.] The system explained with some urgency. [But I just scanned that the other system has another consciousness fused into it that made into a brand new system with independent thinking.]

“What consciousness?” The two were still lost.

“Living creatures!” Shen Ying exclaimed.

“Are you referring to Shu Yi?” Lonemoon faltered.

“Not only her.” Shen Ying continued to explain. “It’s 001!”

“What does that mean?” Lonemoon had yet to catch anything and was dazed for a moment before his eyes widened abruptly. “You mean that besides Shu Yi, the system has another soul fused with it?”

“Mm.” Shen Ying nodded. “If not, what did you guys think its motive of invading into the various worlds was?”

“Wasn’t it to cheat the primary souls of others?” He blurted out.

“Since that’s the case, then why should it let ‘Shu Yi’ off?” Don’t forget that though ‘Shu Yi’ was an invader, she was a soul too.

[Rebelling systems sustains their independent consciousness by stealing and swallowing living creatures.] The system went on to explain. [But the setup of living systems are different and will definitely result in a repelling reaction, there will come a day where the living creature being swallowed is exhausted and fusing also requires a fixed period of time.]

“So….Shu Yi is actually the grain reserve of that system?!” Lonemoon’s eyes were wide.
