Soul Patch

Chapter 250 He made the same choice...

"boom!"

Wenjie jumped out of bed.

With the system task having progressed to this point, he could no longer stand idly by.

He couldn't stay behind the scenes and watch the battle raging outside, with the patch carriers vying for power.

In fact, when he saw the patch carrier confronting the intrusion cheat, his heart was in his throat.

I thought there would be a fight; at the very least, if the patch carrier couldn't beat the opponent, it should run away.

He was prepared that if the patch carrier escaped from the 3D interface, he would not hesitate to rush out the door and run over to help.

However, the patch carrier didn't move at all. Wenjie thought the patch carrier had the victory in hand, but he didn't expect that in the end, he/she would be waiting to die.

Watching the patch carrier's health points disappear instantly evoked a strange sadness.

He went out and ran straight downstairs. During this process, he clicked on the last pistol icon on the system interface.

It's Andy.

Andy is still in ward 3125 on the third floor.

Andy, in his hospital room, was woken up by a system notification.

[System assigns temporary task: Remove intruding cheats from the system]

Andy was half asleep when he glanced at the system interface and was a little confused.

Plug-in?

Are they the people from my grandfather's anti-system alliance?
We need to...we need to eliminate them?

That grandfather...

Before Andy could ponder it, the system interface in front of her jumped directly to a scene of her grandfather confronting a man.

The system's focus was on the grandfather, the meaning of which was clear: the grandfather was the intruder she needed to remove from the system.

The system sent her three task prompts in succession.

She did not respond.

She couldn't possibly lay a hand on her grandfather!
How could she do such a rebellious and disrespectful thing?
If it weren't for her grandfather's repeated protection, she would have been killed in the system long ago.

Grandpa kept saying that he organized this "anti-system alliance" to avenge his deceased daughter and son-in-law, which meant avenging Andy's parents.

But Andy understood that her grandfather's more important goal was to break her bond with the system.

Amidst a flurry of thoughts, the system started a countdown:
[30, 29, 28…]

Please select whether to execute the system task within the specified time.

A accepts, B rejects.

Refusing to perform system tasks will result in your account being directly deleted by the system, and a new patch will be found to overwrite the existing records.

[27, 26, 25, 24...]

Andy saw the ultimatum from the system and burst into tears.

She glanced at the "reject" button and her eyes welled up with tears.

With less than 20 seconds left on the countdown, she didn't know what to do and cried like a child.

The crying startled Jia Nan.

Jia Nan yawned and got up, only to see Andy in front of her crying her eyes out.

He asked blankly, "What's wrong?"

He stood up, walked over to her, and gently patted her delicate shoulder.

"If it's you and your loved one, and one of you has to die..."

Before Andy could finish speaking, Jia Nan seemed to understand, and nodded heavily, saying, "I will choose myself. My motivation for living now is to avenge my brother!"

Suddenly, Andy's gaze froze, and he stared at Jia Nan in astonishment, remaining silent for a long while.

Jia Nan asked doubtfully, "That was just my choice. If you think it's wrong, don't worry about it..."

Andy's piercing sobs interrupted him; she was crying so hard she could barely breathe, almost falling off her chair. Jia Nan pulled her close and held her in his arms.

for a long time……

Andy looked up and said with difficulty, "That's what he chose too..."

After she finished speaking, tears streamed down her face again.

Grandpa! Grandpa made the same choice!

……

Old Master Luo didn't want to put Andy in a difficult position, and he didn't want anything to happen to Andy...

If the system orders Andy to remove the hacking cheat, Andy will likely refuse to carry out the task and be directly eliminated by the system.

How could Old Master Luo bear to see Andy killed? He couldn't stand seeing Andy suffer any injustice.

Even if Ah Wei glanced at Andy, he wanted to roughly stop him.

Therefore, after hearing what Xiao Yi said, Old Luo was prepared to die.

He soon bumped into Wenjie at the corner of the stairs.

Wenjie and Elder Luo faced off, and only this time did Wenjie truly see Elder Luo's integrity.

That was the demeanor and aura of a master; simply standing in front of him, the overwhelming pressure had already crushed and killed him.

Wenjie seemed to understand that he would die at the hands of this old man before he even had a chance to make a move.

Even so, he was determined to fight!

Dying in battle is not shameful!

Old Luo narrowed his eyes, looked at the doctor in the white coat in front of him, smiled knowingly, and asked, "You must be Wenjie?"

The sound was like a thunderclap, making Wenjie's heart sink.

He realized that he was on a completely different level from this old man. If the old man just roared at him, he would probably be so shocked that he would bleed from all seven orifices and die.

Wenjie steadied himself: "Yes, that's right! You are..."

"My surname is Luo, and everyone calls me Old Luo..." Old Luo glanced at Wenjie with a rather complicated expression.

Wenjie didn't understand what that look meant, and only said, "Other patch carriers will be coming to help soon!"

"Others?" Old Luo wondered to himself: What other patch carriers are there?
His expression dimmed for a moment, a deep sorrow and reluctance welling up inside him: "You mean Andy?"

I couldn't help but think to myself: This time, the system really outsmarted me!

The system hadn't assigned Andy any tasks, but unexpectedly, the system was using Andy as a trump card, using him at a crucial moment to destroy itself, and in the process, destroy the "anti-system alliance" that Andy had painstakingly organized.

Old Luo twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing a bleak smile: "When will you arrive?"

She was hoping to at least see Andy once, even just for a glimpse!

Wenjie looked at the system countdown and sighed, "I don't know. There are only a few seconds left. If she refuses the system's mission, she will be eliminated by the system!"

These words sounded so familiar; Xiao Yi had barely finished speaking when Wen Jie brought them up again.

But this time they're talking about Andy!
He cherished it with all his might, the only lifeline of the Luo family... was it going to be erased by the system?

Old Luo's expression darkened, but his tone softened slightly: "Wenjie, there's no time left. Promise me you'll get Andy out of the system alive!"

Wenjie was stunned by this sudden change:

what's the situation?
What did Elder Luo mean by those words just now?
How did I manage to get Andy out of the system alive?

Does it mean leaving this mission? Or leaving the system?
How can we break free from the system? I'm still controlled by the system myself. How can I help Andy break free?
Countless questions arose, leaving Wenjie feeling lost.

Seeing Old Luo staring at him expectantly, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind: he recalled the scene where the system's security mode was successfully unlocked when he entered his birthday!
Why is the password your birthday?

And the background image has that familiar feeling!
Is it...

Could it be that this mysterious system is truly connected to me in some profound way?

Looking at Elder Luo's eager and expectant eyes, Wenjie nodded hesitantly.
