Chapter 431 Another Precious Card
[!? No, you were useless before!]
Upon seeing Lin Xiyue's actions, the system shouted without hesitation.
Its voice was filled with tension and worry, clearly indicating that it did not want Lin Xiyue to pass away now.
The system's obstruction made Lin Xiyue hesitate for a moment, but she did not stop.
[Something's wrong, something's very wrong with you right now!]
Just then, the system suddenly noticed that something was wrong with Lin Xiyue and hurriedly called out.
After all, under normal circumstances, Lin Xiyue would never have rushed over so impulsively without considering any possible consequences.
Moreover, her expression at this moment was unusual and quite strange.
Lin Xiyue looked dazed and confused, as if she had lost her usual clarity and alertness. She walked slowly and awkwardly.
If she weren't still speaking at a normal pace and with logical flow, the system would probably suspect that Lin Xiyue was being controlled by some mysterious force, or even possessed.
However, her thinking and language expression abilities were not affected.
"Huh? What's wrong?"
Lin Xiyue blinked slowly, seemingly a little confused about the system's question, but her mouth reflexively asked a series of questions.
The scene was incredibly bizarre. A person's movements were so slow that even blinking gave the illusion of a frame drop, yet her thoughts and words flowed so smoothly and without any hindrance.
This feeling of complete disconnect between body and mind is unsettling.
It's as if this person's brain and body have separated, each going its own way, completely losing their original coordination.
This bizarre state is so strange that it's hard to understand.
[You've really messed up! Stop it now!!!]
The system looked at Lin Xiyue in horror, its voice becoming shrill with extreme fear, as if it were about to pierce people's eardrums.
It couldn't understand why Lin Xiyue had suddenly become like this, as if she had lost control of her body, and was frantically rushing towards the center of the battle. The system's alarm kept echoing in Lin Xiyue's mind, but she seemed not to hear it at all, and continued to walk forward as if she didn't care.
Seeing that Lin Xiyue was moving slowly but steadily toward the center of the battle, the system was extremely anxious.
It desperately tried to stop Lin Xiyue, but found that it was powerless to do anything else.
However, the only advantage was that Lin Xiyue's movements were also unusually slow, even seeming to be getting slower and slower.
Because of the reduced speed, although Lin Xiyue was in a hurry, she actually only walked less than a hundred meters, not even reaching the length of the dilapidated truck bed.
This gave the system a slight sense of relief, but its mood remained heavy.
After all, Lin Xiyue was still heading in a dangerous direction, and she seemed to have completely lost her mind. No one knew what would happen next.
"What did you say? What problem could I possibly have?"
Lin Xiyue didn't understand at all, but the look of suspicion on her face took much longer to show.
She had no idea why the system would suddenly say such a thing, since she felt that everything was perfectly normal!
Seeing Lin Xiyue's blank and ignorant look, the system couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
[Tsk... how should I put it?]
It muttered to itself.
The system's gaze was fixed on Lin Xiyue, and it noticed that her eyes were gradually becoming somewhat vacant, which made the system even more worried.
However, despite being very anxious, the system didn't know how to explain it to Lin Xiyue.
After all, in Lin Xiyue's own perception, she hadn't noticed anything unusual. Therefore, the system's current challenge was: how to make Lin Xiyue realize that there was indeed a problem with her?
The system was deep in thought, and time passed by second by second, while Lin Xiyue's condition seemed to be getting worse and worse.
During the brief moment the system was thinking, Lin Xiyue's previously fluent speech began to become intermittent, as if her thoughts had been suddenly interrupted by something.
[No! Wait a minute!!]
The system's voice suddenly turned terrified. It had been thinking about how to explain things to Lin Xiyue, but when it heard her words become unclear, it was instantly scared out of its wits and dared not let her leave.
Without hesitation, the system took out a card from its treasured collection—its most prized possession!
However, it couldn't care less about anything else at this moment. It poured its energy into the card with a pained expression, and then threw the card at Lin Xiyue like it was a hot potato.
The card traced an arc in the air and landed precisely on Lin Xiyue.
The moment the card came into contact with Lin Xiyue, it melted rapidly like ice and snow meeting the warm sun and merged into Lin Xiyue's body, as if it had always been a part of her body.
This process is so fast that it leaves no time for anyone to react.
The card that merged into Lin Xiyue's body spread rapidly, like a drop of water falling into a lake.
It formed concentric ripples on the surface of Linxiyue in a way that was visible to the naked eye, just like a stone being thrown into a real lake, creating ripples.
These ripples spread outward continuously, one circle after another, getting faster and faster, and covering an increasingly larger area.
Soon, Lin Xiyue's entire body was covered by the water ripples, as if she were enveloped by a transparent water curtain.
The water ripples scanned Lin Xiyue's body incessantly, over and over again, as if searching for something.
Finally, after several scans, the water ripples settled in the very center of Lin Xiyue's chest.
The ripples on the water stopped spreading and instead formed a fixed circle, quietly encircling Lin Xiyue's chest.
The circle has an irregular polygonal shape, as if it were carefully drawn.
"What's this?"
Lin Xiyue's voice seemed to be stretched out by an invisible force. She slowly lowered her head, her gaze falling on the polygon that was still flashing white light on her chest.
The light was so bright that she couldn't help but squint.
Her lips trembled slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but something seemed to be blocking her throat, and she could only make these intermittent sounds.
"It...is...glowing..."
After a long while, she finally managed to speak to the system with difficulty.
However, the system did not answer her question immediately.
It didn't have time to answer Lin Xiyue's question; it was just staring intently at the polygon on her chest, feeling extremely annoyed.
