Chapter 20: Life Goes By
Seven days have passed since the departure of the ninth uncle, and Cheng Xiao has also been suspended in the main hall for seven days.
In the past seven days, the head of Maoshan has used Maoshan leaves and secret techniques to maintain Cheng Xiao's vitality.
But...... There are still three hours left before the life is completely gone.
At some point, the dark clouds in the sky began to gather, and the bleak wind began to blow. Flocks of crows shrouded the gloomy sky.
The eyes of the head who was cross-legged in front of Cheng Xiao suddenly opened, his face changed, and he hurriedly calculated.
"A flock of crows swirling, an ominous disaster. Ah Jiu...... It's me who is sorry for you. β
There is still one minute left before Cheng Xiao's vitality is completely gone.
59.

[Detects that the host's life is dying, forcibly initiates the return, and terminates the mission.] γ
In an instant, Cheng Xiao's body disappeared from the Maoshan Hall, leaving behind the heads and elders who looked at each other.
When I opened my eyes, I saw a dull yellow, which was the roof of the wooden house.
Cheng Xiao felt pain all over his body at the moment, and it seemed that he would fall apart if he moved a little.
Looking at this familiar cabin, Cheng Xiao's face leaked a look of confusion.
(What happened?) How did I end up here? Am I not on a task? My head hurts. οΌ
patted his head painfully, Cheng Xiao tried hard to stand up, but failed again and again.
Simply, lying on the ground and trying to remember what had happened.
"I ...... It seems that my body was invaded, and then Uncle Nine brought someone to save me. At last...... In the end, I seem to be Uncle Nine? A slap knocked out. And then, and then how did I come back? β
"System, what's going on?"
At this time, Cheng Xiao finally remembered that he still had a system.
[The host's life is in danger, and the system protects the host's soul from infringement, forcibly initiates the return, and ends the mission.] γ
βοΌοΌοΌβ
"Dying? How could I be dying? β
"Something is wrong, something is wrong."
"I'm going to think about it."
After thinking about it for a long time, Cheng Xiao finally gave up. No matter how he thought about it, the last impression only stayed on Uncle Nine's slap.
"System, look at my current situation."
[Host: Cheng Xiao (dying), lifespan: 28 years
Evaluation grade: D, late stage of Qi training. Acquired Thunder (Depleted)
Friendly reminder: Host life is running out at a rapid pace. γ
"What happens when the rapid passage passes?"
[This body will be completely destroyed.] γ
"Grass!"
I hammered the floor hard, only to find that my arm was so weak.
"What to do? Are you going to die? β
"Nope! There must be a way, there must be a way. System, there is a system. System, help me. β
[Ask the host to use the causal point to repair their body.] γ
"That's right! Causal ...... Causal points. β
"But...... How so? β
The desperate Cheng Xiao completely collapsed to the ground, and his causal point was 0.
"Why? Why!! No, why have I been so unlucky, thief, why are you doing this to me, and have I done something wrong? β
"I've been like this since I was a kid, and now I've been given a system that doesn't give me anything! You look at the protagonist in other people's books, with the system, pretending to be forced and beating others all day long, I originally thought I would be like this, but ...... Why do this to me. Why, woo woo ~ why? I haven't lived long enough to travel the world and see the wonders of the world. I haven't told my parents that I have money and ability now. Are you going to die now? β
Just when Cheng Xiao was grieving for the impending death, he seemed to remember what the system had said.
"Soul? Soul??? The system says that I protect my soul from harm, that is, my soul is completely fine? β
"My body dies and my soul still exists? Isn't it! System. β
γYesγ
"So can I go to other worlds to complete the mission?"
γYesγ
Cheng Xiao, who learned the news, did not have much joy.
Soul...... What a strange word.
Are spirits ghosts? Or something else. Cheng Xiao didn't know. He didn't know what would happen to him when he became a soul, but he had only one choice.
"Alas......"
With a sigh, he waited quietly for the death of the flesh.
As time passed, Cheng Xiao felt that his body began to get out of control. There's something that's slowly disappearing.
I'm afraid this is life......
Finally, Cheng Xiao closed his eyes unwillingly. The body lay motionless on the ground like a statue.
