Chapter 1108: We are the Lightbulbs
Fang Ning looked up at the towering pillar and suddenly frowned. He understood why the System Map was so red that it had turned black…
He had only taken a rough look at it before and had found strange human-faced statues on the pillar and a peculiar creature.
Now that he had taken a closer look, he discovered that all those strange human faces were all made from countless tiny little human faces!
The statues of those creatures were the same. Every part of their body was a miniature replica of the entire image — for instance, the little sheep-like creature among them.
If one looked closer, one would find that all the sheep’s horns and wool were full of densely arranged little lambs…
“No wonder I always felt that this pillar was somewhat odd,” Fang Ning said thoughtfully, “It turns out that this malevolent god had swallowed up all of the creatures in this world.”
“That’s why this world is so quiet and deserted.” System No. 2 continued.
“Precisely so,” Fang Ning nodded as he asked, “Can we bring the others out now?”
“Let me sense the area,” System No. 2 said stoically.
Thus, Fang Ning halted control of his body and waited patiently. This was his habit. Before doing anything, he would first ascertain an escape route and eventually win by default.
After a long while, System No. 2 responded.
“It is not possible to exit directly. There are only two ways; the first is to break out of this world; the second is to break ourselves,” System No. 2 responded monotonously.
“Why?” Fang Ning asked confused, “We were able to get in without a hitch, but we can’t get out of here easily?”
“Oh, this problem, it is like a person swallowing a light bulb. People can easily swallow a light bulb, but it is difficult to take it out again and we are the lightbulbs. After being swallowed by this strange world, without the help of external forces, it would be extremely difficult to get out of here without a scratch again…” System No. 2 gave an analogy.
“Eh, you could actually come up with such a vivid analogy…” Fang Ning thought as he listened. After he thought about it further, he was impressed. “Sir System said you were dumb, but it looks like that’s not the case at all.”
“Oh, I was not the one who came up with the analogy. It was one of the warnings left by the real body to me: Never try to put a light bulb into your mouth unless you have gone through training and there is a professional on the standby to help. The real body had personally attempted this before.” System No. 2 explained earnestly.
“Sh*t, this b*stard, what has it done to my body whilst I was sleeping?” Fang Ning exclaimed angrily.
“Many, many things, the real body is a very passionate thinker.” System No. 2 delivered another critical blow.
“…” Fang Ning was speechless. Such was the pitfalls of being seized by the System!
If it was not for the fact that the System was still bound by the System’s Chivalry Rules, god knows what his body would have turned into by now…
However, what else could he do besides moping? His only option was to forgive it.
He thought about it and said, “It seems that our only choice is to break through the world. It’s impossible to choose suicide anyway. Once the world is destroyed, we’ll be fine, but what about the others, will they be able to resist the impact?”
“They will certainly not be able to resist. We must protect them with treasures,” System No. 2 said as it produced a yellowish-brown stone monument, “This monument should be able to do it.”
“Yeah, you really are Sir System’s son, it’s given you all the good stuff.” Fang Ning moaned.
“I had originally used this Earthly Monument for self-protection, but once I had left it inside the System Space. I didn’t expect that it would be given to you by that b*stard.”
“Perhaps it is because I am more valuable.” System No. 2 explained.
“Alright, less nonsense, hurry up and destroy this world.” Fang Ning ordered.
“If this world is destroyed, then the malevolent god will be released too. Now that it had swallowed all the creatures in this world, it is also confined by the world.” System No. 2 warned.
“Then what should we do? Could we get rid of this malevolent god first? After all, it’s so red it’s turning black, it deserves to be killed,” Fang Ning said seriously.
System No. 2 agreed. “Let me try.”
At that moment it was as if it had sensed the arrival of its impending doom, the column suddenly trembled.
All of the eerie human faces appeared to have come alive and turned towards Vigilante A and tears began to flow.
“Don’t kill me…”
“Don’t kill me…”
The creepy entity began to repeat again and Fang Ning felt his ears hurt.
“Hmph, you weren’t saying this when you were eating others and now you’re begging for mercy? You deserved this.” He refused to squander away his sympathy.
It was only because the System No. 2 possessed God-level powers that the malevolent god had cowered its head. When it faced Qiao Zijiang and the others, it had employed deceptive tactics and even tried to confuse the others so that they would not be able to understand it, the extent of its evil, sinister intentions were obvious.
