Am I destined to be cannon fodder? Unlock the system and lead the motherland

Chapter 59: Unexplained Facial Pain
Yun Ximo's eyes seemed to be glued to her with 502 super glue, and she paused for a long while, until a scene that frightened her whole body came into view - a man who made her feel so complicated that she could open a grocery store: "..."

"...Well, this world is really small, so small that I met a 'familiar stranger'."

"Fuck, her luck is like she's opened a hidden gem in a blind box—surprise! A random ex/weird colleague/creditor makes a surprise appearance!"

Turns out, none of them.

He thought to himself that something was wrong, and the word "shock" was almost written on his face.

Unwilling to accept this, so unwilling! Yun Ximo decided to give her eyes a "Windows reboot" and rubbed them hard, hoping that this incredible scene would disappear without a trace in the next moment like a webpage error.

"I must have seen it wrong. I must have seen it wrong. Or maybe it's because I haven't seen the stars in so long that my eyes are like night vision goggles, and I'm seeing the shadows under the streetlights as aliens."

Restart completed, second focus——

"Wow, this move is a sure thing. This move is a real eye contact. I've met the right person (no, I've met someone I don't want to see)!"

Yun Ximo's heart has now been broken into a QR code, waiting for some kind-hearted person to scan it and give her a tip for "understanding my breakdown".

"Holy crap! Doesn't this guy have to save the world? He's in the Criminal Investigation Brigade, but he's outwitting criminals every day. With so many cases, shouldn't he be constantly busy? Why is he just casually strolling into a bar?"

"Could it be that the Criminal Investigation Brigade has also followed the trend and implemented a 'Flexible Work Plus' system, allowing employees to work part-time as bartenders after hours? Or have the criminals collectively taken leave to attend the annual meeting?"

The doubts in Yun Ximo's heart popped up like bamboo shoots after a rain.

I almost wanted to pull out my phone and dial 110: "Hello, is this 110? There's a public servant who seems to have skipped work early. Can you help? Oh, no, the police might think there's something wrong with my eyes and I saw something I shouldn't have seen..."

But her reason told her that even though she was in a mess and her heart was in turmoil, she had to maintain the illusion of "I'm fine, I didn't see it" on the surface.

"Lolo." Yun Ximo rushed back to the sofa from the window, not forgetting to smooth out her sleeves as she said with a look of disgust, "Is this guy going to come all the way with Cupid's arrow to shoot at my innocent heart again?"

"Who?" Luo Luo asked curiously, her eyes twinkling with curiosity. "Looking at your expression, it's like you've met a creditor from your past life, your nemesis in this life!"

Yun Ximo almost turned herself into an ungrateful person: "Am I out of my mind, or am I just a fool? Am I looking for trouble? Otherwise, who would be so eager to see him?"

Unless... "He came with the good news of winning the lottery. Oh no, even if that's the case, I have to consider whether I should give him a 'Please stay away from me' talisman first."

After listening to this, Luo Luo gave a look that said, "I surrender to you."

Yun Ximo is very sad. A dark cloud floating across the sky brings with it a song called "Liangliang".

"Ah, the moment I saw him, my heart started pounding. Good news? Not happening!" She started her rapid-fire mode again. "Not long ago, I happily went to a milk tea shop, but instead of milk tea, a plainclothes police officer made a surprise attack!"

"Don't you think this is bizarre? I was 'caught' in the interrogation room without knowing what was happening, and then my 'family history review' began, from Uncle Pangu swinging his axe all the way to the abdication of the Qing Emperor. I even almost spilled the beans about my alien identity!"

"Even though it was a misunderstanding, I feel like I've been bitten by a fly. I'm so upset! How can I be arrested and released at will? It seems like I'm just a bouncy ball in the hands of the police, and they can bounce me however they want. Isn't my dignity and feelings worth anything?"

Yun Ximo became more and more excited as she spoke, "The most annoying thing is that now whenever I pass by that milk tea shop, I have to take a detour, for fear that I'll be caught by the police again.

Do I have a connection with the police? Next time, I can just apply for the position of 'extra-staff consultant'."

-

[Well, think about it this way. You can't blame the police entirely for your mistaken arrest. They're just mortals, after all. How could they possibly defeat Yun Yimeng's insanely powerful system? They blurred you into a 'perfect stand-in' at the crime scene!]

Lolo suddenly interrupted cautiously.

Yun Ximo's face was dark, and the corners of her mouth twitched: "...Lolo, are you sure you are comforting me?"

"Are you sure? The look in the eyes of that police officer in the interrogation room is like I'm the number one suspect. I could flood the entire police station with my grievances!"

Yun Ximo held her forehead helplessly.

"After all, isn't it because you're not powerful enough? If you had half the advanced system of Yun Yimeng, I wouldn't be complaining to you here and almost becoming a scapegoat!"

Lolo immediately shrank her neck, her baby voice sounding a little aggrieved.

[Oh, I was wrong, okay? I may not be as awesome as Yun Yimeng, but I will try my best!]

"Alright, alright, stop making me a 'suspect' for no reason."

Yun Ximo walked to the window again and looked at the figure standing in front of the Volkswagen.

It was strange to say, even though she had only met Xie Jing twice briefly and had never paid special attention to his appearance before...

She looked at Xie Jing carefully at this moment and found that his face was actually very handsome and solemn, standing tall like a green pine.

The age of twenty-five or twenty-six is ​​the intersection of youth and maturity. The body is tall and straight, as steady and reliable as a mountain, and as agile and strong as a cheetah.

A well-fitting black suit outlines his body perfectly, revealing a natural coldness and arrogance in his bones.

Luo Luo suddenly became excited, yelling, "Come on, let me give Xie Jing a full-body X-ray. No, no, a full-body scan! The results are in—this guy is a pure Earthling in our dimension, not some fantasy character from some alternate-dimensional game, nor some big shot from some otherworldly world!"

"What? Doesn't that mean he's... a villain?!"

After saying that, Yun Ximo rubbed her hands nervously.

Seeing this, Luo Luo almost laughed to death. "Don't worry, my dearest aunt, he's not here to deal with your villainous boss. Look how scared you are." Luo Luo continued, her furry face adorned with gossip: "This guy, the 'rebellious eldest grandson' of the Xie family in Mingjing, has just played the 'runaway' game with the Xie family."

While other fifteen-year-olds were still figuring out how to sneak out and play video games, he, on the other hand, took the test and was immediately admitted to the mysterious Hogwarts-like Supernatural Department, saying goodbye to all the trivialities of the Xie family. Once he got through that door, not only would his grandfather be in the family, but even his ancestors would have to wait in line to see him! He's so selfless that he doesn't even recognize his own family!

Old Master Xie was in a state of turmoil. On one hand, he slapped his thigh and cried out in grief, "What misfortune for our family! My precious grandson is going to be snatched away by the country!" On the other hand, he was grinning like a Maitreya Buddha, his mouth wide open. He was so happy inside that he praised everyone he met, "My boy is going to do great things!"
After hearing this, Yun Ximo became curious and asked, "So, you, my smart kid, do you know what he does in the supernatural department?"

Luo Luo shrugged. "I'm such a jerk! His details and identity are as secretive as a national treasure. Want to find out? No way! It seems this guy isn't just a simple character, he's a low-key boss wearing a Superman cape!"

[And then, this guy unexpectedly sneaked into East City again and was parachuted into the Criminal Investigation Brigade.]

-

-

Luo Luo suddenly yelled, and the expression on his face was "Oh my God, I almost became a sinner for all eternity."

[Oh my god, my mind almost wandered! Momo, I have a confession to make. My pause button is like the beef in the instant noodle commercials. It's completely imaginary. It only has three minutes. Now the countdown is thirty seconds, and the restart is about to begin -]

Yun Ximo: “…” She asked the heavens speechlessly, thinking that she needed to have an electrocardiogram.

"Hey, hey, hey, Lolo, your early warning system is so lagging, isn't it? My little heart almost wanted to follow your screams and do square dancing, the kind where you lead the dance!"

Before she finished speaking, Yun Ximo rushed to Qu Yan's side, grabbed her cell phone, threw a wet wipe, and started a "disinfection operation" on her cell phone.

"Hmph, anything touched by a bunch of 'greasy little loaches' like you, I need to give it a 'holy water baptism' to purify it!"

When the wet wipes were used up, she made a beautiful parabola and put the wet wipes into the basket accurately in one go.

Then, Yun Ximo took a deep breath and gathered her Qi in her Dantian like a martial arts master. She punched Qu Yan under the chin and gave a "fist salute": "This punch, I represent the moon, to destroy you, arrogant brat!"

As he turned around, Shi Heshen's barely presentable face could not escape her "attention".

There was a crisp sound of "Pa", which was more refreshing than the sound of New Year's firecrackers. Oh no, she had to correct herself, this was not thunderous applause, but a crisp slap in the face.

The whole process was smooth and refreshing.

Yun Ximo's face was almost blooming with joy.

"Haha, with Luo Luo's immobilization technique, I can fight without breaking the law. I'm the 'free and easy heroine' of the Jianghu! If it weren't for Luo Luo's stingy three-minute setting, I could even throw in a set of Wing Chun and Foshan Shadowless Kick!"

Just as she was about to leave, she leisurely walked to the door of the box, timing it perfectly. When the three minutes were up, she leaned against the door with her back, her eyes full of "cold sarcasm" towards these young men, and announced domineeringly:
"I'll be leaving first. Everyone, no need to see me off. Remember to bring your IQ with you next time we meet, or I'll have to do the 'restart' service for you!"

Before he finished speaking, he turned into a wisp of breeze and disappeared without a trace, leaving behind a group of young men who were still "restarting and loading". They looked at each other, with doubts written on their faces, "Who am I? Where am I? What just happened?"

Watching Yun Ximo disappear like a nimble kitten.

Shi Heshen stood up suddenly, his expression extremely cold, and the temperature around him dropped ten degrees in an instant.

The young masters trembled collectively, all startled. They looked at each other and winked at each other, "Why does Brother He Shen look so angry?"

Finally, a brave young man, with a trembling voice, squeezed out a sentence like squeezing toothpaste: "Brother He Shen, what's wrong with you?"

Shi Heshen said lightly: "I have something personal to do, so I'll leave first. You guys continue to play. I'll pay for today's bill. You're welcome."

After saying that, he picked up the expensive suit, turned around and left the box.

Yun Ximo, this woman is beyond his control, which makes him feel unprecedented irritation and frustration. Staying here will only add to his troubles.

However, just as he was about to walk out of the box, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his face, as if he had been slapped hard for no reason. The pain was so severe that he almost couldn't help but scream.

He frowned, feeling an inexplicable irritation and anger in his heart.

But on second thought, he calmed down again. Who in this box would dare to hit him? Who didn't act according to his mood? This pain in his face was probably the "internal injury" caused by Yun Ximo's anger.

Shi He took a deep breath, forced his anger into carbon dioxide, and released it into the air.

-

-

As for Qu Yan, he finally realized what was happening and yelled out, "Brother He Shen, why did you leave like that?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes and spotlights were all directed at Qu Yan's face, which was as red as a ripe tomato and could be used as a signal light.

Qu Yan himself felt that the atmosphere was so strange that it could be squeezed out of water, and it was filled with an invisible silence.

At this moment, Song Li raised his hand and adjusted his pair of gold-rimmed glasses that shone subtly. His voice was neither too high nor too low: "Go to the mirror and take a look."

Qu Yan pretended to be calm, gritted his teeth, and went to the bathroom in a rage.

As soon as I opened the door, the light in the bathroom was cold and dazzling. The face in the mirror, which usually looked as stern as a crab, now looked like an eggplant hit by frost, as miserable as it could be.

"He stared at himself in the mirror with wide eyes: 'What's going on? When has Qu Yan ever been treated so humiliatingly?' The burning sensation on his face almost made him lose control. He wished he could transform into a Charizard and roast the culprit!"

He touched his cheek, the pain so real that he almost couldn't help but yell, "Who? Don't you want to live anymore? Who is this blind fellow who plotted against me?"

In the end, Qu Yan racked his brains but still couldn't figure out what was wrong with his face.

--at the same time.

Yun Ximo hurriedly rushed from the second floor to the first floor. A hungry wolf was chasing her, oh no, it was her stomach that was protesting.
