Chapter 974 - Can’t Laugh (2/2)

Hence, Vigilante A did not land into the house immediately, but activated his Spirit Gaze and began to inspect.

However, nothing was found under careful inspection.

“It seems that nothing has come here before?” Fang Ning looked through the System View and found no clues as well.

“What do you know? If you don’t find anything, it’s even scarier, okay? Of course, that’s for you,” said Sir System. “It seems that the intruder’s level of power has well exceeded us.”

“Oh, what, what should we do? Why don’t we quickly move too,” Fang Ning stuttered.

For a long time, he had been used to the overpowering fighting style of Sir System. Suddenly, he had to face an enemy more powerful than himself, he was really scared.

This was not in the World of Spirit and Souls, where he could do things recklessly. If he could not defeat the opponent, he could run away. Here, his actions were restricted. Vigilante A could run but Old Man Zheng could not. This was the reason Fang Ning wanted to move.

“What’s the hurry?” Sir System said calmly. “We could take this opportunity to use the IOU of that idiot quickly, save us the trouble if it dies one day and we have no use for it. I can’t afford Death’s divine skills, it needs too many pills.”

“Er, our way of thinking is really different,” Fang Ning admitted defeat.

System Notification: [The System consumed 100 Heavenly Merit Points and activated the skill “Heavenly Fortune”. Effect: Within 30 minutes, “being assisted by Heavens and Earth”.]

Subsequently, Sir System scanned again and found something immediately.

“Found it. Something searched your underwear before. Although the traces are subtle, it left a trace of spirit-like presence after all,” Sir System said, pleasantly surprised.

“Crap, who has such weird preference?” Fang Ning was very speechless. “Also, why do you sound so happy?”

“You’re overthinking again. I’m joyful because I don’t have to spend money anymore to buy the useless service of Death. The price-performance ratio of the stuff exchanged from Heavenly Axiom’s IOU is still quite high, at least it can find out monsters with power levels that are much higher than ours,” Sir System justified.

“Forget it, let’s not talk about this. Just now, you mentioned something about a spirit-like presence? Could it be that a spirit entered our house?” Fang Ning held his chin as if he was a famous detective.

“This is very obvious. We just had a killing spree in the World of Spirit and Souls. Now, it’s very logical for them to look for us.” Sir System said matter-of-factly.

“In your opinion, what do they want to do, sneaking in here?” Fang Ning wondered.

“It’s simple. There are just those few attack methods. They definitely want to take your personal belongings and use them to put a curse on you. Perhaps your little voodoo doll is now ready,” Sir System gloated.

Fang Ning was both fearful and angry, “I get cursed, why are you so happy? If I’m dead, even if you won’t die, there’ll be no place for you to live and you can only become a stray system! Not to mention that I’ve activated the achievement, you can’t run away, you can only die with me!”

“Er, sorry, I was thinking that if you’re dead, can I change to an intelligent and powerful master?” Sir System imagined and said.

“Heh, you good-for-nothing, you’re really simple,” Fang Ning immediately reprimanded. “If you really change to an intelligent and powerful host, do you think you can still be so comfortable? That person will cut you up into eight pieces, dissect you to do research, analyze your construction, and completely integrate your functions as his own. It’ll be just like scientists encountering aliens. It’s a delusion if you still want to live well!”

“Oh, it sounds quite logical,” said Sir System, suddenly feeling fortunate. “It seems that it’s good to have a lazy host, at least you must be too lazy to research these things.”

“You’re wrong. It’s not because I’m lazy that I’m not doing it. It’s because I am a man with 99 affection points. Even if it’s a pig, after living together for a long time, I’ll not kill it for its meat…” Fang Ning said compassionately.

“You make it sound like I’m on the same level as a pig,” Sir System said gloomily.

“Stop talking nonsense. For our safety, let’s quickly find the guys who put the curse,” Fang Ning urged.

“You don’t have to find them. They can’t put a curse on you.”

“Why?”

“They can’t find a powerful medium. I’ll usually clean up your traces in this world thoroughly, not even a fingerprint is left behind, let alone other things. As for other karmic things, they can’t be used against you. In any case, you’re a person who has activated the ‘Biomechanical Fusion’ achievement. If you feel uncomfortable, I’ll use that achievement immediately and by then you’ll have my resistance,” Sir System said seriously.

“I see. Thank you for your concern, Sir System. I’m relieved,” Fang Ning let out a long breath.

He did not expect that this idiot had evolved the attributes of tsundere. Although it kept saying that it could not wait for him to die, it was actually very cautious lest he die… (TN: Tsundere is a Japanese term that describes someone who is awkward in showing his/her feelings. They hide their feelings and try to be rude or cold to someone they care for.)
