"Can you hear my thoughts?" Ling Yi asked.
Jiang Xianxian wanted to nod, but when she tried to nod, she shook her head instead.
At the same time, a great terror arose in my heart.
It was as if, if she simply nodded in agreement, her soul would instantly vanish.
Jiang Xianxian wanted to cry, not because she wanted to lie, but because a great terror forced her to lie.
"Strange, can't it hear my thoughts? Or am I wrong?" Ling Yi frowned.
Actually, Ling Yi had suspected that his inner thoughts had been leaked for a long time.
There's no way around it, these female leads are just too weird.
Ling Yi wasn't unfamiliar with similar short dramas and online novels.
"Are you sure you can't hear my thoughts?" Ling Yi asked again.
Jiang Xianxian nodded painfully.
{Strange, how did Jiang Xianxian know all this? Could it be that, like Qin Wanwan and the others, some Awakened had contact with Jiang Xianxian Jiang Xianxian? }
There are likely quite a few Awakened in this world. If they want to disrupt the plot, they could very well secretly contact or warn these female protagonists.
Ling Yi's inner thoughts began to pour out once again.
Listening to Ling Yi's thoughts, Jiang Xianxian's little brain started working like crazy.
It's clear that there's something about this that they don't want Ling Yi to know.
Since that's the case, she needs to find a reason.
And being Awakened is a very good excuse.
" Ling Yi, do you know about Awakened?" Jiang Xianxian asked at this moment.
"You know about Awakened?" Ling Yi countered.
"Yes, the reason I know this is because the Awakened told me."
Who is it? Where is it?
Jiang Xianxian shook her head. "I don't know, I just heard the other person's voice, it just suddenly appeared in my mind."
"It was this Awakened told me everything. Yes, that's it!"
Ling Yi looked at Jiang Xianxian with a strange expression.
{Hmm, that seems plausible. Awakened know the plot, and since they know the plot, they must be able to seize the Protagonist's opportunities.}
{Putting everything else aside, these Awakened are very likely all possessing a Twin Fish Jade Pendant, and each of them is a cultivator.}
{Knowing a technique like Thousand-Li Voice Transmission or something is perfectly fine!}
[Host, Awakened cannot steal the Protagonist's opportunities, nor can they even touch them.]
At that moment, the system's voice sounded.
Why?
[ Awakened can shield themselves from the monitoring of the World Consciousness and the company's monitoring, but precisely because of this, they also shield themselves from all power systems; they can only be ordinary people.]
So, is Jiang Xianxian lying?
[Probably not. Although Awakened are shielded from all power systems in the current world, they do have a certain probability of mastering some overpowered abilities.]
For example?
[For example, you can leave messages, audio recordings, or images for the consciousness of characters in the story, and even, within a certain range, alter the plot and the character's settings.]
{That's awesome?}
Ling Yi was somewhat dumbfounded.
{Damn, if these Awakened deliberately trying to cause trouble for me, how am I supposed to complete the storyline smoothly?}
[Don't worry, host, you have me!]
What can you do?
[As long as the Awakened appears within 100 meters—no, 10 kilometers—of the host, I can analyze the bugged ability on the Awakened.]
{Then what?}
[Once the bug is analyzed, this system can naturally close it and Copy the bug's capabilities to the host.]
Ling Yi's eyes brightened.
Suddenly I'm starting to look forward to it!
{By the way, what did you mean by 100 meters and 10 kilometers? Is it because my strength has increased, so my range has expanded?}
[Yes, host, I am one with you. As you become stronger, my abilities will naturally increase.]
{Can you find the Awakened was in contact with Jiang Xianxian?}
Upon hearing Ling Yi's thoughts, Jiang Xianxian immediately tensed up.
[No Awakened were detected within a ten-kilometer radius.]
{You're kind of useless!}
Ling Yi communicates with the system very quickly.
It seemed like it took a long time, but in reality, it didn't even last ten seconds.
After all, it's a communication of consciousness.
"You should go back early. Don't dwell on the matter of the ancient immortal's cave."
Even if you obtain the inheritance of the ancient immortal's cave, it won't be long before everything is reduced to nothing!
What could the mother and daughter say? They could only nod.
From the moment they handed over the Key, they knew that their trip had been in vain.
Ling Yi's figure vanished in an instant.
The mother and daughter exchanged a glance and both gave a bitter smile.
"If I had known, I wouldn't have come. It's all for nothing," Jiang Xianxian said helplessly.
"It wasn't a complete waste of time; at least I witnessed the hidden secrets of this world."
Jiang Ruyun, however, quickly recovered her spirits.
The underground queen of Dafeng City, what storms hasn't she weathered?
She has experienced despair and witnessed all kinds of intrigue and backstabbing.
If this setback could make Jiang Ruyun completely despondent, then she wouldn't be Jiang Ruyun.
"Let's go back to Dafeng City. I'll teach you how to cultivate immortality first."
Upon hearing that Jiang Ruyun was going to teach him how to cultivate immortality, Jiang Xianxian became excited.
Jiang Ruyun started the car, turned it around, and drove directly towards Dafeng City.
Meanwhile, Ling Yi had already returned to the hotel.
"System, is your search range related to the range of my Divine Sense?"
Yes, host.
"System, I've discovered that you're not only a bit useless, but also a bit stupid. From now on, I'll just call you Dum-E," Ling Yi said, rolling his eyes.
Why?
Ling Yi was too lazy to explain why.
"You'd better not ask anymore, focus all your efforts on finding the Awakened."
After Ling Yi finished speaking, he activated his full Divine Sense with a thought.
Meanwhile, in Red Maple City, 150 kilometers south of Baihai City.
Liu Ruyan and her three companions, along with Qin Yu, appeared at the entrance of a bar called " There Is a Bar ".
"The few Awakened I know are all in the same boat as me, just giving up," Qin Yu said, shaking his head.
"The more times you reset, the easier it is to give up."
" Old Wu has reset the game more times than I have. He himself has lost count of how many times he's reset it. He's a real veteran."
With that, Qin Yu led the four women into the bar.
This bar is a quiet, uncluttered bar.
There weren't many people, but there were also quite a few.
But they all drank or chatted quietly.
Next to the bar, there was a small stage where a long-haired young man was playing the guitar and singing.
The song they sang was "Painting"!
"Draw a girl to keep me company, then draw a lace-trimmed quilt, a stove and firewood, we lived and thrived together..."
This person's singing is very different from the original.
His voice was a bit hoarse and weathered, but it had a unique charm and was very pleasant to listen to.
Qin Yu led the four women to an empty booth.
He pointed to the long-haired young man singing on stage and said, "That's him, Wu Yunsheng!"
Qin Wanwan paused for a moment and asked, " Wu Yunsheng? What's his relationship with Wu Yunqi?"
Wu Yunqi is the owner of the Crab Palace.
Qin Wanwan's suitor is the same one that Ling Yi used as a shield before.
He was also the first cannon fodder in the short drama.
" Wu Yunqi's half-brother, the horned cesium that Wu Yunqi is currently using, originally belonged to him."
Liu Ruyan looked at Wu Yunsheng on the stage and murmured, "There's a bug here!"
Because Liu Ruyan's voice was very soft, none of them could hear her clearly.
" Ruyan, what did you say?" Xu Zhiyi asked.
There's a bug here!
"What do you mean?" Xu Zhiyi a little confused, and felt a tickle on her scalp.
Qin Yu laughed and said, " Ruyan is so clever; she noticed the problem so quickly."
