Hold on, the system and I have never been angry

The desert environment is extremely harsh. The dry sand blowing on the face is as painful as a knife. The sand under your feet is also constantly moving, making it difficult to keep your balance.

Even though I slowed down my pace, the smell in the air became stronger as time went by. The pungent smell of blood meant that I was very close to the scene.

It reminds me of the scene where there are many broken limbs and pieces of flesh all over the ground.

Qiansui suggested to take a detour to avoid encountering any extraordinary things and dying before achieving success. After all, many of its functions have been banned, and it is hard to say whether it can survive with the host to the end.

What if the host's soul is trapped in the body and cannot get out, and is severely damaged and cannot recover?

"If I upgrade to an advanced system, I can unlock your built-in stealth ability, and your survival rate will definitely be much higher. It's a pity that I don't know if that day will come yet... But on second thought, it might not be bad to die with you." Thinking randomly, it rubbed its host's face affectionately.

"Can't you hope for me to be better?" Lu Jinzhao covered his mouth and nose with his cloak and walked to a place with a lighter smell. "Unless the opponent is a powerful person from a small world of cultivation, or he has some high-tech that can instantly annihilate a planet, I still have the strength to fight, OK?"

"That's impossible." Qiansui affirmed, "This kind of powerful being who can freely travel between different small worlds without the need for a system is not allowed to go to a small world with a very different worldview that can be easily destroyed by them. Even if they really come here by accident, they will be suppressed by the power of the laws of the small world, and their strength will not be much greater than that of the strongest natives of the small world. The power of the laws is the last trump card to prevent the destruction of the small world. It is independent of the regulations of the Administration. Even if they come, they cannot forcibly change it. We don't need to worry too much about this."

"According to what you said, this small world is in the stage of destruction, but I didn't see any law power appear."

"That's because the deaths of these people were originally planned by the original author. It's not an unexpected process of world destruction."

"I see. It's your fault for not reading the synopsis before choosing Small World."

"Why don't you take me to the veterinary hospital to check my spine when you have time??? See if a cat like me can bear such a heavy blame from you!" Chitose said angrily, "You came in here without even checking it yourself! And T503 can't check it for you, okay! It's confidential!"

"Yes, yes, our Master Cat is the most amazing, how could anything go wrong?"

If it weren't for the host's relaxed expression and smile, Qiansui would have thought he was being sarcastic and curled his lips to express his dissatisfaction: "What? You only know how to coax me. It's not enough that you've been a celebrity and coaxed so many girls into being your fans. Now you're acting like a drama queen again, right..."

"You're going to fall for it. I know."

After being interrupted by him, Qiansui's rare negative emotions disappeared completely: "I really lost to you."

Seeing Qiansui regain his spirits, Lu Jinzhao reached out and rubbed the cat's head, "Don't worry, I'll protect you."

"Help!"

A bloody man jumped out from nowhere and stumbled towards the man and the cat.

Lu Jinchao reflexively took several steps back, and unsheathed Yingyue sword pointed directly at the man's throat.

The woman covered in blood was lying on the sand, her hair was messy and her face was unclear. She stretched out her hand tremblingly: "Please, save me... I don't want to die..."

Not far away, a group of people were rushing towards this side, some of them holding bloody cold weapons in their hands. Lu Jinzhao glanced at them and decisively turned around and left.

"Don't go! Please save me!" The bloody woman grabbed his white cloak and begged, "Please, I really don't want to die!"

"It's none of my business." Swinging his knife to cut off his robe, Lu Jinchao quickly left this place of trouble before the group of people arrived.

"Why do so many people ask for help as their first words when they see you? It makes me laugh to death." Chitose teased, holding her paws in her hands, "I thought you would save her like you saved Otsuichi."

"Why would I bring a burden with me to the end of the world?"

"Have you been taking care of a few people during this period? Why is your kindness still intermittent?"

"You talk a lot of nonsense."

"Why don't you stop letting yourself go and go back to being the celebrity you were when you were trying to maintain your image... I'm really not used to you being like this."

"Then you should get used to it sooner."

"Hmm."

Seeing the man with the black cat walking away, the bloody woman dropped the rag in her hand, got up from the ground, and slowly straightened her clothes. She shook her head at the others who were chasing after her: "The pig is alert. I didn't succeed. Let's find another one."

"Damn it, you let three of them run away in one afternoon. Looks like your trick doesn't work anymore. You have to think of another way."

"Why are you in such a hurry? Who said we were going to let them get away? Didn't Zhuozi go over there to stop them? Are you still not confident in his strength?"

"I trust Zhuozi's ability, but I don't agree with his character! He killed fourteen and ate eight for himself. I've never seen such a greedy person!"

"He is highly regarded by the leader. What can you do? Say less and pass on the message."

*

After walking aimlessly for an unknown period of time, we finally saw the buildings at the end of the desert in the distance. They were bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun, emitting a warm orange-yellow glow.

Qiansui looked over and warned, "There is a small town ahead. It may not be safe. Let's stay alert."

Lu Jinzhao nodded. He loved playing games and knew that any seemingly safe place in the game could hide unknown threats. Holding the hilt of the knife, he walked into the town cautiously, but did not see any living creatures.

The first thing you feel when you step into this small town on the edge of the desert is a strange tranquility. There are some low-rise mud-brick houses on both sides of the street, with doors and windows tightly closed, which seem to hide unknown secrets.

The sun shines through the sparse clouds, casting faint light on the empty streets, adding a sense of mystery to the small town.

He and Chitose walked slowly forward, their footsteps echoing in the quiet street.

Passing by a small shop, the door was half open, and an old signboard eroded by wind and sand caught Lu Jinzhao's attention. It read "Water and food, limited free supply."

Realizing that this might be the key to triggering the incident, Lu Jinzhao stood at the door and did not enter the store immediately.

A middle-aged woman in simple clothes lifted the door curtain and walked out, holding a basket of freshly baked bread wrapped in oil paper. She waved to the man and the cat and said, "Young man, you must be tired from traveling. Come in and have a rest and eat something."

Looking behind her, the shop is small but exudes a warm atmosphere. The shop is simply decorated with a few wooden tables and chairs scattered around the shop. Several people are already enjoying their food. They eat with big mouthfuls and seem very satisfied.

The proprietress noticed his gaze and said with a smile, "Are you hungry too? Come in and eat with us. It's free."

Qiansui complained silently: "No, don't you really teach your children from a young age to 'not eat anything given by strangers'? Who would dare to eat this?"

"No thanks." Lu Jinzhao refused directly and continued walking forward.

Three steps away from Lu Jinzhao, the space suddenly began to fluctuate strangely, as if a crack had appeared in the air. Then, a man in a disheveled state, holding a weapon, fell to the ground. He had obviously just finished a fight and was teleported here. He was covered in blood and his face was exhausted. The man's eyes were suddenly attracted by the bread in the hands of the proprietress. He rushed to the proprietress desperately, grabbed a piece of bread roughly, stuffed it into his mouth, and began to devour it.

The shop owner was obviously startled and took a half step back.

Soon after, several more people who had been teleported appeared. When they saw the food, they rushed over to grab it, causing the bread to scatter all over the ground.

While everyone's attention was not on him, Lu Jinzhao turned into a small alley, jumped onto the roof, and carefully observed the movements over there.

Qiansui yawned and asked, "Do you think we should leave overnight or stay and continue watching the show?"

"You found it."

"I'm not blind. The woman in front of me covered in blood looks scary, but actually she doesn't have any wounds on her body. The pursuers behind her are armed, but I can't sense any killing intent. There's a saying that free is the most expensive. Although this lady boss seems to be kind enough to hand out bread on the street, there are actually several people hiding in the store. Cats have very good hearing! These two groups of people may not be accomplices, but at least one of them definitely has bad intentions."

"Continue watching the show?"

"Okay, I'm also curious about what they want to do."

The proprietress quickly calmed down her expression and used the excuse that the bread was too dry to swallow, and invited the few people who were wolfing down the food to come into the store.

Maybe they were very hungry, or maybe they saw other people dining in the restaurant, so they didn't even have the slightest bit of guard and just followed him into the restaurant.

The transmission continued, and people appeared in the town one after another. The proprietress hurriedly hung up a sign saying "Suspended Business" and closed the shop.

Lu Jinchao had a hunch that if nothing unexpected happened, these people would never be able to walk out of the store on their own.

Chitose: "What should we do now? There seem to be more and more people. Should we follow them or wait and see?"

"Let's wait and see."

In the current situation, we have no teammates, no resources, and we know nothing. Everyone may have evil intentions, so we can never be too cautious.

As the number of people transferred increased, the town began to become lively, but people did not communicate with each other, but were wary of each other. The vacant houses were occupied one after another, and Lu Jinzhao chose a small house with an attic nearby and bolted the door.

From this position, you can vaguely see what's going on inside the store through the window.

Several unlucky people who ate the bread fell to the ground.

Several people who had been hiding in the store came out upon hearing the noise and dragged all the unconscious people into the kitchen.

He and Qiansui pricked up their ears and listened carefully to the noise inside. They could vaguely hear several people talking, but unfortunately they couldn't make out the content clearly.

Chitose: "I see Earl is mostly targeting humans. I have hardly seen any other races on the planet. Even the Zora tribe to which Otsuichi Otsugen belongs is a human branch. Assuming that this is the second stage of the massacre game or something, most of those teleported here should be humans? They don't look like aliens. Although I don't know why they kidnapped other people, they shouldn't eat people, right?"

"I don't know. But on Earth, there are cannibals in the Amazon rainforest. It's hard to guarantee that there aren't any in the interstellar space."

"How long do you think this wave of teleportation will last? I roughly estimate that there are about a hundred people in the town now. This can't be a safe house. I don't think it's very safe..."

"do not know."

"Damn it, it feels like nothing has gone smoothly since I came to this little world. I encountered a monster as soon as I arrived, I built a wooden house but couldn't live in it, I surrendered in the city but couldn't live there for long, I followed a crazy man all the way but he wasn't the protagonist, I finally got clues but they turned out to be invalid information, I rescued people and trained them in kung fu thinking it would be easier for me but now they are all separated. How could this happen? Is your luck really that bad???"

"Normal." Lu Jinzhao sat down beside the bed: "Things in the world will not always go as we wish."

Qiansui covered his head, his heart was about to break: "No, big brother, can you give me some emotional feedback? Now is not the time to calmly comprehend life! Think about what to do first, okay??? If you are trapped to death in this body, I may not be able to take you away, and then both of us will be finished!"

"Didn't you say a few hours ago that it would be nice to die with me?"

"That's the worst possible outcome! Think about your luxury cars, mansions, assets, your best friends, your unfinished paintings, and your son and daughter. Can you bear to die like this???"

"You're giving me a headache. If you can still turn invisible, go and watch the store and see if you can trigger anything. If you can't turn invisible, come and sleep with me."

“Is it time to go to bed now???”

"You don't understand. There is a mental state called: The world is in chaos, and I am sleeping soundly."

"You're crazy... The emperor isn't anxious, but the eunuch is. I don't care about you anymore!"

Seeing that his host was actually lying down with a peaceful look on his face, Qiansui angrily turned invisible, floated out of the room, and went straight into the store he had just been to.

The store was dark, with only a little light coming from behind the short door curtain. Qiansui floated into the back kitchen, but after just one look, he almost vomited.

The simple pool was filled with human viscera.

Several freshly hollowed-out human bodies stood nearby, their eyes opened in tacit understanding, staring straight at Qiansui - it was clearly invisible, yet he felt as if he was being seen through.

They were naked, wrapped in long strips of cloth with strange symbols written in blood, and at first glance they looked like mummies.

The proprietress at the side was chopping someone's thigh with a knife in her hand and chewing a piece of her finger.

Qiansui turned around on the spot and quickly ran back to his host, gesturing with his four paws up and down: "Oh my god, they...yue--they really eat people...vomit vomit vomit..."

Lu Jinchao knew that it would not spit out anything, but he still reached out and stroked the cat's back: "Including the five that were teleported in from behind, there were originally four people in the store, a total of nine people. How many did you see just now?"

"Let me think... Yue, there are three hollowed-out ones standing there, and one being chopped on the chopping board... or maybe two."

"That means four or five people are missing. Their lives are unknown. They may not be in the store yet, right?"

"right……"

"I just watched from the window and didn't see anyone leave this area. There must be a secret room or secret passage in the store. Do you want to come with me to take a look?"
