My Master Disconnected Yet Again (Part 4)

Chapter 675: Restarting the Competition

[You can take it that way.] The system blinked then continued, [And I detected that it is only a supplementary system, its main program is not on this plane. The version of its main program should be newer than mine, so I did not succeed in invading it.]

"What?!" Lonemoon was shocked. "There's still a main program behind that system?"

[Yes!] System replied with certainty.

Lonemoon felt that he was getting a lot of information at a go and took some time to straighten them out. "Which means... the primary soul that this 001 invaded to take away is actually meant for the main program behind it, whereas 'Shu Yi' was prepared for itself, when the soul that it is initially swallowing has become ineffective, it will eat her up too!"

In that case, this system was really wasting nothing. First sweet-talk the host to complete missions in every world to cheat others of their primary souls, then eat her up after it's done making use of her.

No wonder Lonemoon always felt that something was off previously, Shen Ying was right, if the target of all these so-called systems were souls, why would they solely let their hosts off, they were souls too. Could it be that there were differences in tastes between the souls, and they minded that hosts were tasteless?

For such a simple logic, Shu Yi seemed to be completely unaware and even trusted the 001 system wholeheartedly, constantly working hard to help it complete the so-called missions and even thought she was being self-righteous. However, she did not know that she was merely a grain reserve.

For a while, he didn't even know whether to pity Shu Yi or not.

"It was such a big stir earlier, could the opposite party have sensed the parenting system?" Lonemoon recalled and glanced at the blue little cube.

"No." Shen Ying answered. "I'd already deleted all its traces earlier, it won't be able to find anything."

That's great! However, it seems like the plan to kick the opposing system out in advance using the parenting system wouldn't work now, they still had to wait till it leaves this plane to strike.

As of now Shu Yi has already stealthily sealed demonic Qi in Zuo Shuming's body, it wouldn't be long before she strikes, they just needed to wait.

——————

Lonemoon's guess was right, it really did not take long, in just two days' time, Shu Yi's side started to take action. For the past two days, the sect was on lockdown, they searched everyone but still could not find who it was who killed Elder Yin and no one found any traces of a fiendish cultivator either. Everyone was beginning to suspect that the culprit might have left Gui Yi Sect long ago.

Early morning, Lonemoon and Zuo Shuming were separately summoned to the Great Hall, there were a dozen of Golden Core and Foundation Establishment disciples there, everyone looked rather familiar, Shu Yi was amongst them too. In the hall, only Sect Master Yu Luan and several Elders that ran affairs were present.

"Continue the sect competition?" Zuo Shuming glanced at the sect master with slight surprise. "Wasn't it canceled already? Why is it suddenly being continued now?"

"It can be resumed even after being canceled!" Shu Yi who arrived slightly before them said out loud. "The sect competition is Gui Yi Sect's grand event held once a decade. We still don't have an outcome now, isn't it very normal to continue the competition?"

Lonemoon's eyes narrowed as he looked towards Yu Luan. "Sect Master, the culprit that murdered Elder Yin has yet to be found, if we continue the competition, I'm afraid we'd be giving culprit another opportunity to strike."
