The Counterattack Plan of A Villain With Ten Thousand Fans - Chapter 228

Chapter 228

Under the request of such a beauty, I believe any normal man would choose to affirmatively respond, but Ling Chunann is clearly not a normal person. He pretends to take out his phone to check the time, "Sister-in-law, how about I call a taxi for you to go back? It’s time for me to head home."

Bao Jing's expression changes for a moment, but she quickly recovers and smiles, "It's only a little past seven, still early. How about I treat you, little Yan brother, to dinner before you go? I saw you didn't eat much, and you’ve been with me all afternoon, you must be hungry."

"I'm not hungry. I'm not used to eating out, and my family requires that I come home right after school, it’s already a bit late for me now." Ling Chunann says, looking at the car stopped in front of them, he smiles at Bao Jing, "The car is here, sister-in-law, I won’t see you off then."

"Alright then, I'll be going now. Little Yan brother, remember to come out and play when sister visits next time." Bao Jing waves at Ling Chunann with allure, opens the car door, and gets in.

Watching the car leave, Ling Chunann turns his head towards Tang Shouxu who just appeared, "Notice anything?"

Tang Shouxu's voice resonates in Ling Chunann's ears, "Violator."

Ling Chunann looks at Tang Shouxu, puzzled.

Tang Shouxu remains silent for a moment, then reaches out to pat Ling Chunann's head, "Let's go home."

Seeing Tang Shouxu unwilling to elaborate, Ling Chunann doesn't ask further, "Okay."

After returning home, Tang Shouxu heads to the study, and Ling Chunann goes back to his bedroom, "098."

"098: "Yes, Host."

"What's a violator?" Ling Chunann inquires.

"Ah?" 098 is surprised, "Host, where did you hear this term?"

Ling Chunann: "Tang Shouxu mentioned it on our way back, didn’t you hear?"

098 replays the conversation between the two, then confidently says, "Host, when you asked him what he noticed, he did not respond to your question and just said 'let's go home.' If you don't believe me, I can send you the scene."

If it were anyone else, they would doubt their judgment in this situation, but Ling Chunann's memory is impeccable. He clearly heard Tang Shouxu's voice. Normally, when Tang Shouxu communicates telepathically, 098 can hear it too, so the message must have been conveyed in another way.

Without further explanation to 098, Ling Chunann continues, "So what does 'violator' mean?"

"098: "To the host, 'violator' is the term used above us; we usually call them 'Exiles.' As the name implies, they are individuals exiled from various worlds. Their identities are not limited to task performers; some are systems as well."

Ling Chunann: "Why do they exist?"

"098: "The authorities have always had a certain tolerance for task performers and systems, so violators are rare. All systems receive a detailed set of rules upon creation, outlining what can and cannot be done. Hence, the punishment for violators is severe. Once verified, they are executed directly. Therefore, some systems, upon realizing their mistakes, will flee with task performers before the adjudicating system discovers them, escaping the realms governed by the Main God."

"At one point, the Main God could still capture them for punishment, but for some reason, the Main God has been missing for a long time." 098 sighs, then perks up, "Host, are you saying that fox spirit is a violator?"

Could it mean that Tang Shouxu has a connection with the Main God? It had suspected that Tang Shouxu had relations with higher authorities, and suddenly having its guess so directly confirmed is quite embarrassing.

Ignoring the system's descent into a self-satisfied state, Ling Chunann changes into his pajamas and climbs into bed.

098 hadn't finished speaking, but Ling Chunann had almost guessed it. A violator capable of sneaking back from other spaces must be extraordinarily powerful; otherwise, Tang Shouxu, who has been a bug-like existence from the start, wouldn't have mentioned being on par with it.

Just when 098 thought Ling Chunann had fallen asleep, Ling Chunann suddenly speaks, "098, if I make a mistake in the future, would you run away with me?"

"Of course." 098 replies, then realizes what it said but doesn't feel regret, just a bit anxious, "Host, what are you planning to do? Could it destroy several worlds?"

"Probably not?" Ling Chunann responds.

"

Then it's fine. As long as you don't destroy worlds, you definitely won't be judged as a violator." 098 breathes a sigh of relief. Compared to a life on the run, it prefers the feeling of steadily completing tasks and leveling up.

Ling Chunann smiles, "Just kidding."

098: ...That's a relief.

That night, Ling Chunann is sleeping soundly when he suddenly feels something watching him from outside the window.

At this time, Tang Shouxu is not in the room. Ling Chunann senses briefly that Tang Shouxu is not home, and to avoid alarming whatever is outside the window, he mentally calls, "098, outside the first window on the left, send me the image."

098, who was lazing around while the host rested, is startled, "Host, there's nothing outside the window." While saying this, it sends over the image.

"Don't look directly, search with energy." Ling Chunann advises.

"Yes." 098, feeling a chill, realizes what's outside after seeing it, and gasps, "Host, there's a huge fox outside."

The fox is in a vaporized state, with a terrifying blood-red color. Even through the window, 098 feels as if it can smell the blood emanating from it, and the energy it possesses is unimaginably strong.

After describing the situation outside the window to Ling Chunann, 098 says fearfully, "Host, you must be careful. In theory, we systems should be invincible in this world, but I feel it could swallow me whole, and I sensed the presence of other systems inside it. I'm afraid the task performers and systems that came to this world before have all been devoured by it."

No sooner had 098 finished speaking than the entity, turned into mist, silently breached Tang Shouxu's barrier outside the house and rushed in, quickly surrounding Ling Chunann.

"Host, this isn't the power of this world, celestial master skills are useless, suggest using the primal force." 098, fearing Ling Chunann might use the wrong skills, hurriedly advises, "If it swallows us, we will both disappear."

Though giving this warning, the entity is too strong. Even though Ling Chunann's primal force is much stronger than 098's, having grown up together, 098 knows that in the current situation, he is no match for it.

Before 098's warning, Ling Chunann had already sat up, forming a barrier with his inner energy, blocking the roaring blood mist trying to invade.

The entity has no physical form, Ling Chunann tries attacking a few times, but is countered each time.

098 falls silent for a while before asking, "Host, how long can your energy last?" With Tang Shouxu nowhere to be found, if this drags on, they are still in danger.

Ling Chunann, expressionless and calm, "Twenty minutes."

098: "......"

Completely oblivious to its system's anxiety, and surrounded by restless monsters eager to tear him apart and devour him, Ling Chunann focuses on a point within the mass of red mist for a while before slowly saying, "098, I might not be able to complete this mission."

"Ah?" 098 freezes, surprised that Ling Chunann is still concerned about the mission at this moment.

Ling Chunann shakes his head and doesn't speak. Sweat has started to form on his forehead as he prepares for his next move. Suddenly, the previously aggressive blood mist pauses, then disperses as suddenly and silently as it arrived.

When everything settles down, Tang Shouxu appears in the room, "Baby, are you alright?"

Ling Chunann looks at Tang Shouxu, wipes the sweat from his face, "I want to take a shower."

Tang Shouxu smiles and then pats Ling Chunann's head, "Okay, I'll prepare the bath for you."

After Tang Shouxu enters the bathroom, Ling Chunann stares at the closed door for a while before slowly getting out of bed.

From that night until Ling Chunann's college entrance examination, nothing happened. After bidding farewell that day, Bao Jing seemed to have disappeared, and even Han Chen didn't mention her again.

Ling Chunann's counterattack value also hit a bottleneck.

After the college entrance examination, Ling Chunann declined his classmates' invitation to gather, and upon exiting the school gate, he encounters the male lead waiting at the entrance.

Han Chen waves at Ling Chunann, "Little Yan."

"Chen brother, aren't you also busy with end-of-term exams? How do you have time to come back?" Ling Chunann asks.

"Little Yan is taking the college entrance exam, of course, I have to come back and see." Han Chen smiles, "Didn't your uncle come to pick you up?"

"He's busy today." Ling Chunann's gaze lingers on Han Chen's face for a while.

Han Chen touches

his face, "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

Ling Chunann shakes his head, "Nothing."

After agreeing to meet with Han Chen in a few days, Ling Chunann heads home.

The security guard at the entrance of the residential area smiles at Ling Chunann, "Little Xie is back so early today, not gathering with classmates? How did the exams go?"

"Hello, Uncle Chen." Ling Chunann nods, "I had something to do, so I came back early."

"Ha ha, go ahead and take care of your business then." The security guard says with a laugh.

"Okay."

"This kid, did he not do well on the exams?" The security guard mutters to himself after Ling Chunann leaves, "He seemed a bit cold today."

Hearing the voice behind him, 098 also feels a bit strange, "Host, are you alright?"

Ling Chunann reveals a radiant smile, "Do I look like I'm troubled? 098, I've found a way to complete the mission."

"......" It really can't tell if the host is troubled or not, but the host has been quite strange lately, always pondering over something. It seems it has never seen the host this troubled before. However, seeing Ling Chunann's smile, it can't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Now, its confident host is back.
