Let the system try to save the world

The tide is receding.

"Xing Yan has used the secret technique of the mermaids to drive the water back." Xitong leaned over and picked up the half scroll that was floating down with the water. "Lihuo, he went against your wishes."

"I never imagined this." Li Huo still had a smile on his face. "What trick did you use to make him willingly obey you?"

"I didn't do anything." Xitong thought for a moment, "If I have to say, I gave him a name."

"Name..." Li Huo murmured.

"Forget it. The mermaid retreated, which only means that this experiment has failed." She quickly smiled, "But, A001, you can't kill me."

"I can do this kind of experiment in Ningcheng, the Imperial Capital, or the Magic Capital." Li Huo said, "Humans are weak and ignorant. You can't be in two places at once. You can't keep an eye on me all the time."

"I don't need to kill you." Xitong said, his eyes were like two bright stars, like a deep lake, clear and pure, as if he could see through the secrets of people's hearts. "My reinforcements are here."

"Make way! There is a dragon, make way for it!" Without even looking back, Lu Jingming's excited voice reached the ears of several people.

The dragon's eyes are bright and full of energy, revealing a breath of wisdom and majesty. Its nose is tall and slender, like an exquisite sword.

There is a pair of huge dragon whiskers on both sides of the dragon head, which are like two flowing ribbons, swaying gently.

Xitong pulled a dragon whisker, picked up the half piece of drawing paper, urged his spiritual power, and the ink on it flew out of the paper.

Like a blooming flower, the ink is deep and rich, and each stroke is smooth and powerful, like a rushing river.

"Don't grab my beard!" Lu Jingming cried out in pain, "You are really taking advantage of me..."

"Come out." Xitong threw away the dragon's beard, and the half piece of drawing paper in his hand emitted a bright white light. Lihuo's pupils shrank, and his body was uncontrollably sucked towards the paper.

With her cultivation level at the Tribulation Crossing Stage, she couldn't even resist this tiny piece of paper.

The disembodied Plastic Heart chuckled, with a hint of helplessness in its sound. A puff of black smoke was sucked directly into it. "You can't run away."

Li Huo was startled, and her spiritual sense suddenly spread out, arriving above Ningcheng.

The raging flood never flowed out of Ningcheng city at all!

A black dragon that stretched for who knows how many kilometers tightly coiled around the entire Ningcheng. Every time the flood rose an inch, the dragon's body grew a point larger, not to mention the flood that was now beginning to recede under Xing Yan's magic.

The roaring flood hit the water dragon's body. The dragon yawned, and his mouth opened, revealing sharp teeth. Each tooth was like a sword, emitting a sharp cold light.

The corners of the black dragon's mouth curled up slightly, as if he was smiling, revealing a hint of playfulness.

No wonder Lu Jingming was disdainful. He was a water dragon, and the flood was just like tickling him, except that the force was a little too strong.

Lihuo withdrew his crumbling consciousness and put all his energy into practicing, desperately fighting against it.

"Who are you?" Li Huo said gritting her teeth, her pretty face looking a little hideous. She didn't know what was in the paper, but she knew that if she followed Xitong's wishes and lost the initiative, it would not be a good ending for her.

"You obviously haven't reached the Golden Core stage, how come you know the laws of space!"

"I am a system." Xitong said, "When it comes to playing with space, even your ancestors can't catch up with me."

In the system of the Sea of ​​Laws, the first thing one does after being born is to learn to travel through the many small worlds. Otherwise, do those taskers have to swim across the Sea of ​​Laws by themselves?

Li Huo began to panic when she sensed that the spiritual consciousness of the water monsters was decreasing one by one.

"I just have one last question." Li Huo said, "I recognize this painting. It should be in the archives of the Psychic Bureau now."

"How did you..." Li Huo swallowed hard, her bones creaking, "How did you see it and be sure it would come here?"

"I just said it." Xitong said, "I am the system."

"All the surveillance cameras in Ningcheng are within my sight, and all the machines are extensions of my hands."

"It's not that I'm sure it will come to me." Xitong said, "It's that I will definitely make it come to me."

"Lu Jingming, say that sentence." Xitong said softly.

"I am the guardian of the Dragon Kingdom's land veins." Lu Jingming's voice was not very confident at first. Xitong patted the pair of huge dragon horns above the dragon head. They extended upward like two bright stars, shining with golden light.

"As the guardian of the Dragon Nation's land veins, I formally expel you." Lu Jingming's voice gradually took on the majestic sound of a dragon's roar, "You are not welcome on this land of Ningcheng."

Xitong slapped the paper with the word "出" written on it. The ink of the calligraphy penetrated the paper, leaving different shades of ink. He shouted in a low voice, "出!"

"Get out!" Lu Jingming roared.

Li Huo's body trembled, and the power of the law with heavy pressure swept over her. She became unstable, stumbled, and fell into the drawing paper.

Xitong put away the drawing paper, and Lu Jingming turned into a human form. He maintained the dragon body for too long and was very weak. He almost couldn't stand. Xitong hurriedly helped him up.

"Hey." Lu Jingming put his chin on Xitong's shoulder, closed his eyes, and whispered, "Brother."

"I'm here." Xitong replied.

"I'm so tired, please carry me home." Lu Jingming said with a bit of coquettishness.

"Okay." Xitong agreed. He put Lu Jingming on his back and walked towards the Lu family.

He walked very slowly, just like the time when Lu Jingming carried him to the hospital not long ago.

"I say." Lu Jingming whispered in Xitong's ear, "Come back, let's take a family photo."

"Okay." Xitong said.

"Are you AI? Is that the only answer?"

"Very good." Xitong said, "I mean, very good."

After a night of heavy rain, it finally stopped, the dark clouds dispersed, and the morning sun shone on the earth again.

After the heavy rain, everything becomes fresh and bright, as if the world has been renewed.

When people who had spent the night in various shelters heard the all-clear, they cheered and hugged strangers who had escaped death.

Everyone packed up their bags and prepared to return to their families and greet a new day.

…Dear citizens, we have just experienced a disaster, but we are not defeated. We are united and face it bravely…

Now is the time to show our tenacity and determination. Disaster may destroy our material wealth, but it cannot destroy our spirit and will. We will face more new challenges with a newer look and means.

I would like to declare hereby that a new era begins today.
