Chapter 327 Destroying the System
As soon as Tang Xia finished saying that, she got up and was about to pack up and leave. However, July felt inexplicably worried as she looked at her. “You’re just going to agree like that? You’re not even going to…consider it?”
Feeling humored, Tang Xia glanced at July, but her tone was full of helplessness. “Do you think I still have a choice? If I disagree, I will probably be blacklisted. If I agree, at least I get to live two more days.”
While saying so, she jokingly walked towards the door slowly. July also became silent as she had spoken the truth and she could not refute it.
However, at that instant when her hand touched the door handle, she suddenly stopped. She did not look back, but said in a low voice, “If I agree, at least I can see him one more time. I already don’t care about things like popularity.”
After saying that, she left behind a stunned July in the office. At the moment when she stepped out of the room, Ye Yifan, who had obviously been waiting for very long, quickly came to her. He looked at her and did not know what to do as well.
“Um, you must’ve heard about the company’s final decision, right? I think July must have said it.”
Tang Xia nodded lightly. “I agreed to it. As long as the company notifies me about the time, I will go.” However, Ye Yifan’s brows furrowed deeper, as if he was very distressed.
“Can I be with you for this live broadcast? I’ll be worried if you’re alone.” Ye Yifan simply made it clear and did not beat around the bush. However, Tang Xia frowned as she felt displeased.
She only agreed to this broadcast just so she could see Chu Tiankuo one last time. However, if Ye Yifan joined, he would get in her way. Hence, she rejected him directly, “It’s okay, I can do it on my own.”
However, Ye Yifan went up to her and grabbed her by the wrist directly. He said angrily, “That is precisely why I am worried! I don’t believe that you’ll be able to do it.”
“Do you know you will be blacklisted if you fail this time around? Do you know what it means to be blacklisted?”
Tang Xia did not want to know at all. She just wanted to go back and rest for a while. However, she could not break away from his grasp. “It’s just losing my job, what else do you want me to do?”
It seemed like Tang Xia did not know the seriousness of this matter. Ye Yifan could not help but feel like yelling at her, “Blacklisting you means that you cannot continue in the broadcast industry anymore, do you know that? Even if you want to change to another platform, no one will dare to take you in, do you know that?”
After listening to his explanation, Tang Xia became dull again. Ye Yifan looked at her expression and thought it finally worked. However, she suddenly laughed and said, “So what?”
Suddenly, she looked at Ye Yifan very seriously and asked a question she always wanted to ask. “I want to know, in your heart, is Chu Tiankuo just a virtual character without any human touch?”
Ye Yifan was immediately stunned by her question. The two of them looked at each other for a long time. Ye Yifan felt it was a century-long. After a long time, he slowly said, “Yes.”
Tang Xia was silent. In fact, during the period of time he was thinking, he had already got the answer and only he knew. She just wanted to ask the question and did not want to know the real answer.
This time around, Ye Yifan did not have the urge to hold her back anymore. Tang Xia broke free from his grip and turned to leave. Looking at her back view, Ye Yifan stayed silent for a while. Eventually, he smiled helplessly, “Yes or no, does the answer matter? Can it change the result?”
The time for the live broadcast was soon fixed. The next day, Tang Xia and Ye Yifan, who would not let her go alone no matter what, entered the broadcast together under all the upper management’s supervision.
After they entered, they felt that this time was different from each time. The atmosphere was also very strange.
When the white light in front of them disappeared completely, Tang Xia and Ye Yifan then realized that this was a white room with nothing around them. It was different from all the live broadcast world.
It seemed like a world that Chu Tiankuo had created himself to deliberately lure them here. Ye Yifan touched his body and was suddenly relieved when he felt a hard and sharp tool on the side. Fortunately, the system gave him a weapon to kill Chu Tiankuo.
The room was very huge. Suddenly, they noticed someone standing not far away from them. Tang Xia took just one glance to figure out who it was. She instantly ran towards him excitedly.
The person sitting in the center was indeed Chu Tiankuo. His expression was different from the past, but his eyes that looked back at Tang Xia were still gentle.
Tang Xia initially wanted to plunge into his arms directly and held back by her strong restrain. Looking at the man in front of her, she remained silent for a while and frowned in contemplation. “Last time, I was kicked out because the game was stopped halfway.”Read More chapter on our vi pnovel. com
Chu Tiankuo’s eyes at her were still full of smiles. “I know, it’s okay. You’re here now anyway. As long as you’re by my side, everything is fine.” After he said those words, standing on one side, Ye Yifan was not pleased.
Tang Xia hesitated for a moment and eventually made up her mind to tell him the truth. “Actually, my current mission is to kill you, so you don’t have to be so good to me.” After all, she came with a sinister purpose.
Meanwhile, Chu Tiankuo still looked like he did not care. Instead, he smiled. “I didn’t expect you to be so honest. Your mission last time around was to kill me too, right? But you didn’t. Let me try to guess the reason.”
After saying so, he touched his chin to act like he was thinking hard. Tang Xia became nervous subconsciously. She lowered her head and did not dare to look at him. At this moment, Ye Yifan suddenly interrupted from one side.
“Chu Tiankuo, since you want the best for Tang Xia, you should disappear directly. Do you know that if she does not complete the task this time around, she will be blacklisted after she exits the game!”
Tang Xia was stunned. What she did not want to let Chu Tiankuo know had just slipped from his mouth. Tang Xia could not stop him. She instantly glared at him angrily. “Who told you to talk!”
Ye Yifan only chimed in so that Chu Tiankuo would not continue what he was about to say, so he randomly found something to say. However, because of this, Ye Yifan was very upset.
“But are you going to sacrifice your own future in exchange for the future of a virtual character?”
However, Tang Xia was even more pissed when she heard the words ‘virtual character’. She quickly glanced at Chu Tiankuo’s expression. Indeed, his expression had changed. At that instant, she did not know what to say.
I saw Chu Tiankuo suddenly scoffed. He glanced sideways at Ye Yifan. “Huh, a virtual character?”
“Right now, your virtual character wants to destroy this entire broadcast system. This way, I’ll no longer be a virtual character and you guys cannot enter this world of virtual characters anymore, how about that!”
Tang Xia suddenly froze and looked at him in shock. Even Ye Yifan recovered his senses.
“What do you mean? You want to destroy all of these? Do you know what are the consequences of doing this!”
Chu Tiankuo was surprisingly calm. He slowly stood up from the chair and walked towards Tang Xia step by step. His eyes that looked at her were still so soft. So soft that people could not believe this was an emotion that a virtual character could have.
“Of course I know what the consequences are, but I think it’s all worth it. If I destroy the entire live broadcast system, in the future, your so-called real world and the virtual world will go on our own path and never intersect again.”
“Most importantly, you will be with me forever.” After saying so, he gently wrapped his arms around her.
Although Tang Xia felt that this embrace was extremely warm, she still did not want him to go astray.
She struggled to say, “Then do you know that if you really destroy the entire live broadcast system, thousands of innocent streamers will be trapped in the world of fiction and never return to the real world.”Read More chapter on our vi pnovel. com
Chu Tiankuo seemed to feel pitiful too. However, he suddenly remembered something and became firm. “But if that is the case, you should think that we can be together then. If we want to be together forever, this is the only way.”
This was also something that Tang Xia knew very well. Chu Tiankuo could come to the human world, let alone become human.
But for those innocent people involved, Tang Xia still decided to stop him.
She grabbed his arm and said firmly, “But I can’t accept this kind of getting together. We have to sacrifice so many people in exchange for our happiness. I can’t accept it, so don’t do it, alright?”
Looking at Tang Xia softening in front of him, Chu Tiankuo was silent for a long while.
He then grabbed her hands and said slowly, “But Tang Tang, do you know? You can leave here whenever and wherever you want, but I can only wait here forever. I can only see you when you come in. This is not fair to me.”
For Tang Xia who had never thought about this, this sentence was a great hit to her. She initially thought that she knew him very well, but she was shocked to find out that she did not know how helpless he felt.
Facing Tang Xia’s silence, Chu Tiankuo slowly brought pieces of her hair behind her ears. “Tang Tang, are you the same as others who just treat me like a set of data in the world of fiction, or an abnormal virus?”
Tang Xia quickly shook her head. Remembering how July kept on emphasizing that he was only a system data, her heart pained for him.
“No, I never felt that way. Since I first met you, I had never treated you like a set of data, which was why I would save you back then.”
Chu Tiankuo could not help but smile rather sadly. “From the moment I discovered the live broadcast platform, until the time when I accepted that I was a character in the novel world, I also don’t know why it became like this.”
“If I could choose again, I hope that I will never find out and just be a set of data happily.”
Standing at one side, Ye Yifan frowned as he listened more. Feeling increasingly distressed, Tang Xia grabbed his hand tighter.
He continued to complain, “Why do people in the real world think they can treat us casually like a past-time hobby!”
