The male supporting character was actually myself.

Chapter Twenty-Six: Is there some misunderstanding on your part?

The little white cat looked disdainful and said, "Tsk tsk, clumsy tricks!"

Host, I bet this guy is definitely no more than twenty years old in reality. He's so immature and thinks he's incredibly amazing.

I feel nauseous just looking at her; I've lost all interest in even eating melon seeds.

"Host, I'm going to take a stroll outside first. You can continue the interrogation."

Lu Xinnan was a traditional, upright, and virtuous woman. She was immediately displeased to hear the young girl speak like that, and her gaze towards her became colder.

"This is blatantly trying to seduce your sugar daddy, so you'd better watch out." The little panda rolled over and said lazily, "There are plenty of green tea bitches who rise to power. This girl has both a pretty face and a great figure. If your sugar daddy has weak willpower, he might really be seduced."

She frowned slightly as she looked at Jiang Chen.

The other person's eyes remained calm. "Sister Lu, could you make me a pot of hot tea and take a break to relax? You're too tense."

"Alright then, be careful." Lu Xinnan didn't object, but glanced at Li Zixuan, who was locked up, with a hint of worry.

While Jiang Chen was carrying a stool over and sitting down, the little girl gave her a provocative look and a smile.

Once the basement door was closed, Li Zixuan couldn't wait any longer and said coquettishly, "Handsome guy, these handcuffs and leg irons are so cold they hurt me. Can you open them and let me down? I'm very obedient, you know. I'll do whatever you want!"

“Whether someone is well-behaved or not depends on their actions, not just their words.” Jiang Chen sat comfortably in his chair, looked her up and down, and then asked, “How old are you really? I mean, before you were bound to the support item, in the real world.”

Li Zixuan swayed her waist and replied in a charming voice, "Nineteen years old? I'm an adult! And you, handsome?"

"Nineteen years old, still in school, right?" Jiang Chen ignored her and asked to himself.

The other person chuckled, "Yeah, I study at the Beijing Information Technology College. Why are you asking about this, handsome? Or are we from the same world?"

"Maybe, just tell me your real-life home address and basic information."

"Hey? Handsome brother, why are you asking such a strange question?" Li Zixuan was about to act coquettishly, but seeing the other party's indifferent eyes, she slightly restrained herself and said, "My original name is Li Zixuan. I live in 1-2-1304, Binhai Xingfuyuan, Haiyang District, Beijing. I am a student at Beijing Information Technology College."

My parents both work in the public sector. My grades weren't good, so they got me into that school for two years, planning to send me abroad to get some experience before I came back and got a government job.

Who knew that after partying at the bar all day, and drinking a little too much, I would inexplicably die and be conscripted by the auxiliary system and sent here.

Handsome guy, please don't kill me.

I wanted to accumulate enough medals to be reborn and go back. My family has so much money and connections; I died before I could even enjoy my prime years. What a waste of my young age!

Jiang Chen compared the information she provided with what she remembered.

It was confirmed that she, like Lu Xinnan, was a time traveler from the same world and era as him.

Do you remember when the accident happened?

"Something happened? Do you mean I died?" Li Zixuan thought carefully for a moment. "It was probably on the evening of May 7th or the morning of May 8th, but I can't remember exactly."

May 7th was my best friend's birthday. At noon, she booked out her family's bar and invited a lot of friends to have a blast.

I drank a bit too much. I guess I was taken upstairs to sleep at night and then suddenly died.

That's so unlucky. It's very likely he drank too much, couldn't vomit, and choked to death, like those cases often reported on the news.

Another May 7th?

Jiang Chen frowned slightly; this was definitely not a coincidence!

Strangely, the known individuals, including myself, Lu Xinnan, and Li Zixuan, all "died" at the same point in time. Why are they all high-level hosts who have already experienced seventy or eighty mission worlds and are about to complete the mission of accumulating medals, while I have only experienced a dozen or so mission worlds and am still a newbie?

Does this mean that all the hosts bound to the auxiliary system died on May 7th?

Seeing the handsome man remain silent, Li Zixuan tilted her head and asked, "What are you thinking about? Why are you asking these questions? You don't happen to have a crush on me and plan to come back to me when you return to reality, do you?"

Ignoring her question, Jiang Chen continued, "Did you or your family have any religious beliefs? Did you do anything unusual before you died?"

"My grandma and mom are Buddhists, and they're so long-winded and annoying. My dad and I don't believe in anything! We've done some unusual things... Does using a Ouija board count? I think we also used a spirit board, and if I remember correctly, we might have played that ghost-summoning game with some friends."

It was a game where a few people stood in a corner, turned off the lights, drew the curtains, and took turns spun around counter-clockwise, tapping each other on the shoulder. Ugh, I can't remember exactly, but it was a bunch of young people looking for thrills and having fun. Who knows what other weird games they played.

"Tell me about your driver assistance system, how is it?"

Li Zixuan rolled her eyes at the chubby little whale floating above, still rolling and blowing bubbles, and her anger flared up. "Auxiliary system? Heh, it's just a piece of trash..."

She was clearly very dissatisfied with the system she was bound to, and she kept swearing as soon as she opened her mouth.

After rambling on and on, Jiang Chen finally managed to deduce the information he wanted to know.

Like Lu Xinnan's auxiliary system, Li Zixuan's little chubby whale can only stay within a meter of her. Besides telling her the background of the mission world she is about to enter and explaining the mission issued by the main system to avoid ambiguity, it has no other function.

Similarly, the little fat whales have also had their memories from various mission worlds folded. Although they can remember more than the host, they are obviously more obedient to the main system and will not proactively tell the host any useful information.

With new evidence, it was finally confirmed that their own assistance system was the abnormal one.

Jiang Chen frowned slightly. Li Zixuan also mentioned that her auxiliary system said that the host binding was directly assigned by the main system, and there was no chance to pick and choose. Even if the temperaments didn't match, there was nothing that could be done.

But he vaguely remembered that the little white cat had mentioned that it had chosen him as its host before binding with him.

That's strange. Is it really a system bug?

"Tell me everything about this Hunter Alliance. How many of you are there? Who is the leader? How much do you know about him?"

Li Zixuan rolled her eyes and said coquettishly, "Handsome brother, I've answered so many of your questions truthfully, but I still don't know your name."

Besides, even prisoners of war have human rights.

Or, how about we try asking the question differently?

For example, could you put me down first? I'm so delicate and can't run away, and being handcuffed like this hurts so much. Besides, look, my clothes are all wet and see-through. Let me take off these uncomfortable clothes and feel a little more comfortable, okay?

Jiang Chen flicked his finger slightly, and another wound appeared on the other person's fair arm, from which blood gushed out, causing her to scream.

"Do you have some misunderstanding about the word 'prisoner of war'?" he said in a calm tone. "You have two choices: either answer my questions truthfully to avoid physical punishment, or be prepared to be interrogated by my words and actions."

I don't have that much time to waste with you in this damp, cold basement.

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Those Who Indiscriminately Slaughter the Innocent Deserve to Die

"It hurts so much, waaaaah..." Li Zixuan had obviously never suffered much pain, and she started wailing as soon as she was injured and bled.

Jiang Chen frowned slightly and flicked her finger again, and two more blood lines appeared on her exposed, fair calves, with round drops of blood flowing down her legs.

"I hate it when women cry and whine. If they don't listen and answer the questions quietly, the next thing they might do is slash their faces."

"No! No! I... I won't cry anymore, I'll answer the questions properly." Li Zixuan screamed first, then her voice trembled slightly as she tried to steady herself. Her breathing was a little rapid as she looked at the wounds on her body and tears silently streamed down her face.

The chubby whale continued blowing bubbles. "I already told you, if you don't want to suffer, just surrender and tell the truth. But you had to try to be clever. How about that? Reality has given you a good slap in the face, hasn't it?"

Let me tell you, not every man is brainless or even idiotic.

The idea of ​​being unable to walk past someone with even a little bit of good looks, or having people fawn over you with just a wave of your hand, either happens in novels where you need to have some kind of status, or it happens when you encounter a complete loser.

You don't even have the eye to observe men, yet you think you're so amazing.

This guy is definitely not some pathetic simp; using that approach will only humiliate you!

"This damn system is so annoying because it doesn't help at all!" Li Zixuan was both angry and anxious, and worried about angering the guy outside, so she could only swallow her anger and keep her head down in silence.

“I have tools that can test for lies.” Jiang Chen sat in his chair, tapping slowly with his fingers, and said in a cold tone, “You should be aware of the capabilities of these tools.”

After I finish asking all the questions, I will use it to verify your answers and see if you are lying.

If the props indicate that you've concealed something or said something wrong, I think you can imagine what will happen to you.

Li Zixuan's body trembled uncontrollably, and she hurriedly screamed, "I lied! I... I'll answer your question again!"

After modifying some information that was not important to Jiang Chen, she took the initiative to explain her entry into the mission system, and also explained how Meng Xiucheng recruited people, how she screened information, and how she dealt with uncooperative contestants.

She even revealed all the types of props she voluntarily handed over to Meng Xiucheng.

"In just one month, you've hunted down seven contestants? And probably five or six more were recruited by Meng Xiucheng to participate in the hunt?" Jiang Chen frowned, his anger burning.

How many people participated in the assessment competition in total?

The more hosts who use the items, the greater the chance of victory in the galactic war.

Seven hosts were killed as soon as they arrived on the main planet. How much of a loss is that?!

"Are you sure you've only hunted down participants? No innocent tourists? How do you determine if someone is a participant? Also, since you've already hunted down so many people, why haven't you completed your mission yet? You and Meng Xiucheng are allies, so you should give your team members priority."

"I...I don't know either," Li Zixuan said in a trembling voice. "I was controlled by his props, and I did everything he said."

He said he only killed the contestants, so I believed him.

He didn't prepare a hunting opportunity for me because he wanted to win over others and give the opportunity to other followers first.

My own work wouldn't normally allow me to find so much information about people, but Meng Xiucheng said that the underlying rule of the main system is to encourage us to actively hunt. Even if I provide information, it will be included in the rewards and will improve my position in the Hunter Alliance, making it easier to gain merit when participating in interstellar wars in the future.

So... I relied on sleeping with other administrators to get information from them and then provide them with a list of suspicious individuals...

I am a victim; he controlled me!

"And I really didn't kill anyone, please don't kill me!"

After a moment's thought, Jiang Chen said, "Provide me with the detailed list you know. As for how to deal with you, we'll discuss that after I've clarified the information about these people."

Having escaped a calamity for the time being, Li Zixuan tried her best to tell him all the information she could remember.

"What do you mean you were controlled and had no choice? You were clearly enjoying this kind of fun." The little fat whale shook its head and sneered, "Although the lie detector may not be able to detect it, since you were indeed controlled by the golden item, it won't really believe you are a victim."

Good luck to you!

A quick shot and the loss of a medal, waiting for the assessment to finish – that's the best outcome for you.

Otherwise… his methods of torture are far more numerous than you can imagine.”

"Shut the hell up!" Hearing the basement door close and lock, Li Zixuan could no longer contain her fear and frustration as she roared, "What else can you do besides blabbering? Useless trash! Garbage! Why don't you just die!"

The little fat whale calmly blew bubbles, "I've worked diligently and haven't made any mistakes, so of course the main system won't destroy me. Even if you die, I might not die."

With her body ice-cold and her arms and calves aching, Li Zixuan recalled her actions after entering the mission world and sobbed softly with regret.

It felt great to eliminate other contestants, but now that it's her turn, she realizes how cruel it is.

These hosts, who should be in the same boat, have finally managed to gather together. Why can't they unite and work together to complete the mission?

It's all the main system's fault for creating these hunting missions!

It's all its fault! It was because of this mission that I went astray!

Damn it, may the main system die a horrible death!

Confined in the basement, Li Zixuan channeled all her anger onto the main system, venting her frustration with every filthy word she could think of.
