Hold on, the system and I have never been angry

System No. 5 brought Lu Jinzhao and Tumenqian back to the system space, locked the unconscious Tumenqian in Shifeng's room, turned around and walked to the center console and looked at him nervously, "Master, you must not get into trouble..."

Qiansui scratched his head: "Why, she can't fight?"

System No. 5 sighed: "It is because you are too powerful that you need to suppress the power in your body."

Seeing Nox fight all the way to where Earl was, knocking down everyone easily, and carrying Earl back through the portal like a chicken, Qiansui couldn't help but applaud: "Awesome! Really cool!"

“Hahahahahaha—” Nox put his hands on his hips and laughed, “Great! Last time I caught this guy, he tricked me. This time I’ll give him a taste of his own medicine. I want to see what he can do to me.”

The screen did not stop. After Heli Kappa returned to his base, he saw only ruins. He hurried back to Tristan and found that Earl was nowhere to be seen. He laughed in anger and looked at Lu Jinzhao and Nox through the surveillance screen: "I was careless this time. You won't be so lucky next time."

Nox said sarcastically: "You won't be so lucky next time~~~ I'm so scared."

After the yin and yang, she cut off the screen.

Lu Jinzhao was amazed. He deliberately appeared in front of him to let Heli Kappa sense it, and rushed back to take advantage of Heli Kappa's absence to deal with Earl, who was obviously weaker. He really caught him off guard. When he thought of the Golden Retriever's angry look, he almost said to Nox, "Well done."

Qiansui held the two light balls that his host had signed a "sale contract" in exchange for and started to chew them. The sooner it evolved, the sooner the host could get out of the current predicament.

Nox pounded his shoulders and stretched his body: "I haven't fought for a long time, my bones are almost rusty."

Qiansui asked in confusion while chewing: "Since you are so powerful, why did you take action now?"

“Don’t make it sound like I’m neglecting my duty.” Nox waved his index finger to deny. “First, there is a certain delay in the executors taking on tasks. We need to wait until an error occurs in the small world and is detected by the main control center, and then we can assign tasks based on the personnel distribution at that time. Usually, the world is already in chaos by this time, and when the executors arrive, they can only start to clean up the mess based on the current situation.”

"The most difficult part of this small world is mainly those external system holders. I need to clean them up first, otherwise if they focus their fire on me, no matter how powerful I am, I can't fight four hands with two fists. I was just halfway through the cleanup, and who knew that your host would cause so many changes."

Qiansui curled his lips: "Don't you have more than a dozen system clones? Why are you cleaning so slowly?"

Nox slapped it on the head with a slap. "Can they all be combat types? You are also a system, do you have the combat capability? Besides, I have to monitor the Tumen royal family, search the vast universe for the planet you are trapped on, look for Earl's base, etc. Do you think I have nothing to do? I see that you look smart, little cat, but your IQ doesn't seem to be very high. So the hair on your ears is not smart hair, but stubborn hair, right?"

Qiansui was angry but dared not say anything, and stared at her with resentment.

Number One and Number Five looked at each other and watched helplessly as the two childish ghosts quarreled.

Lu Jinzhao next to him thought silently for a moment, then walked to the unconscious Earl, took off his mask, revealing his handsome face underneath.

No scars.

At first he even wondered if his appearance was damaged, so he had to cover his face.

System No. 1 brought an iron chain to tie the man up, Nox brought a basin of water with a lot of ice cubes floating in it, asked Lu Jinzhao to move away, and then poured the water directly on Earl's head.

Earl suddenly opened his eyes, coughed a few times, gasped for air, looked around, and after realizing his current situation, he quickly calmed down and laughed disdainfully: "Should I praise you for your ability? You actually managed to capture me from Tristan - wuwuwu!"

Nox took out the spray gel and stuffed it into his mouth, crossing his arms over his chest: "Stop talking nonsense and save your energy for wailing."

Lu Jinchao didn't understand her actions. Wasn't the purpose of waking Earl up to interrogate him? How could they interrogate him if they blocked his mouth?

Earl kept struggling. System No. 1 put on a portable consciousness helmet for him, took out a glowing cable from behind his ear, and inserted it into the helmet. "This version of the memory extractor will have the side effect of severe pain. Please hold on."

Nox's mind moved slightly, and a soft sofa appeared behind her. She patted the seat beside her and motioned Lu Jinzhao to sit over. "Come and sit. When you go to the small world to perform missions in the future, this kind of forced confession is inevitable. I will let you see the most reliable method in advance, the memory extractor. All creatures with human nature may lie with their mouths, but only memories will never lie."

Lu Jinzhao sat half a body away from her on the right, his face indifferent, and he didn't say anything. He remembered that there was a painless version of the memory extractor, and he had used it. The memory submitted to T503 was based on that.

As an S-rank executive at the top of the food chain, Nox couldn't possibly be unaware of item iterations, so she must have deliberately woken Earl up to let him feel the pain of the side effects.

However, he still had doubts, and asked on the spot: "Since you were able to bring the author in, you should have read the original work and know why Earl did all this. What is the main purpose of capturing him and torturing him now?"

Nox: “This is the tricky part. It’s not in the original work. Wu Xiaolin said she hasn’t thought about it yet.”

Lu Jinzhao: "So you plan to extract Earl's memory directly."

"Yes, let's see if there is a breakthrough."

While we were talking, System No. 1 had debugged the machine and was officially started.

The micro-current passed through Earl's brain, and he looked disdainful. That's it? It was just like scratching an itch.

Following Nox's eye signal, No. 1 adjusted the power to the highest level. However, within a few minutes, Earl's screams resounded throughout the system space.

Lu Jinzhao plugged one ear with his fingers, turned sideways to look at Nox, and asked, "You just said that memory won't lie, so if the memory has been reset, will the extracted memory still include the part before the reset?"

Nox pondered for a moment: "Good question, I haven't tried it. Usually after resetting the small world, everything is back on track. Who would catch the natives to check their memories?"

Chitose had just finished chewing a ball of light, licked his paw, and interrupted, "If you don't do a random check, how can you be sure that there are no fish that retain their memories after the world line is reset?"

"I guess this cat usually makes you feel helpless." Nox looked at Lu Jinzhao sympathetically. "The so-called resetting of the world line is to trace the timeline of all related characters back to before the incident, not simply depriving them of their memories. The source of the incident has long been eliminated, and it will continue to operate normally according to the original timeline. In other words, they are not losing their memories, but returning to a time when they have never met the source of the incident. How can they retain their memories if it has never happened?"

After listening to it, Qiansui's CPU almost burned out. Nox could tell at a glance that it didn't understand, but it didn't matter, as long as its host understood it.

The screams lasted for more than ten minutes, and even though No. 1 used a noise reducer to lower the decibels, it was still unpleasant to hear.

By the time Number One extracted his complete memory, Earl had already fainted from exhaustion.

Chitose: "Tsk, he was calling me 'human' before, but now it seems he is just an ordinary human. That's it?"

Nox stood up and gave orders: "Xiaowu, send Tumenqian back to the palace, Xiaoyi, analyze the memory, Xiaosi, keep an eye on Er'er and don't let him escape, Xiaolu, go and bring back your helpers, pack up, and prepare for the battle."

Lu Jinzhao: “Okay.”

*

In the long history of the Blue Star Empire, there has never been such an uneasy moment.

Emperor Tumenqian stood on the highest tower of the palace, his eyes piercing through the light curtain, staring at the ominous light spots that symbolized the alien star fleet. His not-so-young face looked even more tired under the starlight, and the silver-white imperial robe fluttered gently in the night breeze, but it still couldn't inject vitality into him.

The shadow of war hung over the entire empire.

Tumenquan walked over, standing behind Tumenqian neither servile nor overbearing, and said calmly: "Father, now that things have come to this, it's time for you to tell us the truth, right?"

Tumenqian turned around suddenly, as if to refute, but accidentally used too much force and started coughing violently: "Cough, cough, cough! I said, there are some things you don't need to know."

Tumen Quan's expression remained unchanged: "The empire will be handed over to me sooner or later. Is there anything that the future queen is not worthy of knowing?"

"That's why I want to make sure it's clean and spotless when I hand it over to you! Don't ask any more questions. I will put an end to all this as soon as possible."

"Okay, I won't ask about this anymore." Tumen Quan looked at the old emperor sharply, "The people you brought back proposed to share information and resources with us. It would be beneficial to cooperate with them. Why did you reject it?"

Tumenqian clasped his hands on the scepter and said after a long while, "What's the point of having a team that doesn't obey orders?"

"Even now, you are still putting on your royal airs. No wonder my mother didn't want to see you for the last time until she died." Tumen Quan turned around and said, "Just watch and see how I solve all this."

In the luxuriously decorated royal church, Lu Jinzhao sat in the last row, listening to the children chattering. Including Nox and a few systems that were temporarily unoccupied, a quick glance showed that there were more than twenty people crammed into the three rows of seats.

A few days ago, Qiansui evolved into an advanced system and successfully rescued everyone trapped in the game with his host. After discussion, they decided to distribute props to them and everyone went their separate ways to hunt the remaining system holders.

Unlike Lu Jinzhao's side where almost all the members are capable of fighting, most of those people are not combat-type and can be easily killed by simply finding their hiding places.

Lu Jinzhao and Nox gave them a lot of high-level props and burned a lot of points. Fortunately, the blitzkrieg went very smoothly and Earl's death game completely collapsed.

Now the monsters on that planet are being recovered and destroyed in batches, and the survivors are boarding starships and returning to their own planets. The situation is very good.

However, there is also bad news. There are large blanks in Earl's memory, and almost no useful information can be extracted. Nox believes that since the villain is no longer useful, he should be eliminated as soon as possible, but Emperor Tumenqian said that Earl should be executed on a chosen day and the news should be made public to calm the people and boost morale.

Finally, everyone discussed and agreed that this was the truth. So they moved Earl to the dungeon under the palace, and planned to execute him publicly when the war situation improved a little.

With their numbers and resources, they were not enough to solve everything quickly, so they expressed their willingness to cooperate with the Tumen royal family. Tumen Qian said that a meeting was needed to discuss it, but Princess Tumen Quan directly expressed her willingness to cooperate.

Lan Jue holds a military rank, and Tu Ling, Tu Yue and others are students in military academy. With their introduction, Tumen Quan did not show too much suspicion.

When the princess walked in, Lingying and Yicen were pulling each other's hair, while Yiyi and Yumo were trying to stop them.

Yes, you read that right, the way they fought was to pull each other's hair, which almost made Qiansui laugh so hard that his teeth fell out.

Just as Lu Jinchao said, Lingying and Qiya returned to Tristan Base after the game collapsed. They saw the bodies of their teammates and turned on the base surveillance. They found that it was Earl who ordered the killing. They immediately decided to turn against them and join Lu Jinchao.

Qi Ya wanted to discuss the original price. He didn't want five times the original price, but it would be nice to have two or three times the original price. Unexpectedly, Lu Jinchao opened his palm and offered a 50% discount on the original price, not giving a penny more.

Five times the price became 50% off. Even the king of heaven would not bargain like this. But they had no choice but to agree with tears and hatred. If they were to fight alone, they might not have the chance to avenge their brothers in this life.

Yi Cen clamped Lingying's neck with the legs of a pair of scissors and grabbed his medium-length hair with both hands and pulled it to both sides. The pain made Lingying's eyes burst into tears. He refused to be outdone and grabbed Yi Cen's long hair and wrestled with her. A lot of hair from both of them fell to the ground.

Lingying yelled, "Crazy woman, let go!"

Yi Cen also raised his voice: "Who are you calling a crazy woman? You perverted peeping Tom!"

"Who is the pervert! I told you I was just passing by! Just passing by! With your flat body and breasts not even as big as mine, who would want to peek at you?!"

The others were each doing their own thing, more or less watching the show and not intervening. Yi Yi and Yu Mo didn't even bother to pull the two apart.

Tumenquan cleared his throat: "Ahem."

Wen Renjin stepped forward and pulled the two apart, one in each hand: "Don't be rude in front of the princess."

Tumenquan went straight to the point: "Let's not waste time talking nonsense. Everyone here is a talented person. I would like to ask you to divide into four groups. Three of them will go to the three borders where the fighting is most intense to quell the war. The last group will stay and guard the capital planet to prevent the enemy from attacking. Do you have any objections?"

Nox spoke first: "Yes. Do the troops obey our orders?"

Tumenquan: "I will convey this to the military and grant you a certain degree of military rank and power, independent of the regular army."

Chitose: "That is, the special operations team."

"That's right." A huge light curtain unfolded behind Tumenquan, on which was a star map. She pointed to an area marked with a red dot and said, "According to reports from the front, this is very likely to be the base of the Serenach tribe. I need you to raid here and destroy their headquarters. It would be best if you can capture the enemy leader alive."

Wen Renjin: "The bases of the other two tribes are still being explored. The exploration mission may have to be handed over to you. Let's discuss the grouping next."

Nox looked around the room and said, "There shouldn't be any need to divide them into groups, right?"
