Metropolis: The System Makes Me A Villain

Seeing the disappointment flashing across his face and thinking of his movements, Ming Jingxue also understood something in her heart.

So she resisted the strangeness on her body, her voice trembled and said:

"Are you... looking for someone?"

Jiang Yichen nodded without hesitation, and continued to probe the people around him intently.

"I can help you."

Ming Jingxue looked straight, and suddenly snapped her fingers.

Then a huge light curtain suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Yichen.

What appeared in the light curtain were images of hundreds of strangers.

Seeing such a scene, Jiang Yichen was slightly startled, and tried to probe it with the system.

He was not surprised that Ming Jingxue could do such a thing.

But he is totally uncertain whether the system can detect the protagonist from the light curtain.

The most important thing is that this thing has no way to prove whether it works or not.

If there is a protagonist and can detect it, it's okay, indicating that this trick is useful.

If nothing appeared, Jiang Yichen had no idea whether it would be effective or not.

Because if there is no protagonist, the system will not show any information.

In this way, it has fallen into a dead end.

Without information, it may be that the light curtain is useful but there is no protagonist; there may be a protagonist but the system cannot detect it in the light curtain; it may not only be that the light curtain is useless, but the protagonist does not exist.

To really understand what the situation is, you must find a protagonist.

But in the case of uncertainty, you can't rely on this trick, you can only look for them one by one.

But they were all in front of him, Jiang Yichen could only be a dead horse and be a living horse doctor, first give it a try.

When the line of sight was placed on an old man, the system panel in front of Jiang Yichen's eyes suddenly changed.

But only a moment later, the panel was restored to its original state.

No matter how he probed afterwards, he never reproduced the previous situation.

As if the previous thing was just his illusion.

But even so, a big stone in Jiang Yichen's heart also fell.

Because this can prove that the light curtain used by Ming Jingxue is useful.

And with his cultivation base, he had already memorized the contents of the system panel that had just disappeared just now.

But this time the protagonist is really a bit special.

main character:? ? ?

Repair:? ? ?

Luck:? ? ?

Gold Finger:? ? ?

Ah this...

Recalling the content that had passed by before, Jiang Yichen couldn't help but twitched his mouth, and his originally good mood instantly fell to the bottom.

You are all question marks, I looked lonely.

Is the opponent so strong that even the system can't detect it?

Before the information only appeared for a moment, now even the name, cultivation base, Qi Luck, and Gold Finger have all become question marks.

In this way, apart from knowing the existence of the protagonist, what is the difference between knowing nothing?

After all, no matter how you say it, Jiang Yichen can't just go over directly.

The cultivation base is unknown, and Gold Finger is unknown. He really cannot guarantee his safety.

So even if he knows that there is a protagonist, he can't do anything.

If you are ready to wait for the other party to come, it is a bit dangerous to throw yourself into the net without knowing it.

Because I don't know what will be waiting for him in the other side's territory.

Of course, one thing is still very important to Jiang Yichen.

That is, this mysterious protagonist is at least related to the old man I just saw.

"So that's the case, the clone? Or a puppet? Or something else..."

Just when Jiang Yichen was thinking about it, Ming Jingxue noticed his expression and said softly:

"The breath of that person is not like a living person at all, like a marionette."

Hearing this, Jiang Yichen suddenly understood why the system could not detect the protagonist's information.

It's no wonder that the system panel disappears in a flash, and no matter how you probe it later, it won't help.

No wonder this person's information is full of question marks that represent the unknown.

It turns out that what he is observing now is not the real protagonist.

But although it is not the protagonist, at least it has a close relationship with the protagonist.

Otherwise, the system should not even react at all.

Not to mention that the system panel that represents the protagonist is revealed as it is now.

"I don't see anything here, so let's go to him directly."

Ming Jingxue put her chin on, and said to Jiang Yichen.

As soon as the voice fell, she took Jiang Yichen and disappeared in place.

Seeing Jiang Yichen's expression like this, she already knew that this was his purpose.

That being the case, it is natural to make a quick battle.

.........

Jiang Yichen and Ming Jingxue appeared in a small house.

On the bed in front of them, there was an old man with white hair and beard sitting.

That appearance was exactly the same as the person in the light curtain.

However, even the arrival of their two uninvited guests did not seem to make the old man fluctuate.

It seems that in his eyes, the two do not exist at all.

certainly. In fact, Jiang Yichen knew that this was nothing more than Ming Jingxue used a certain technique to keep them from showing off their bodies.

If he really shows up in front of the old man, it's hard to say how he will react.

In order not to fight the grass and startle the snake, Ming Jingxue adopted this method.

Seeing the old man up close, Jiang Yichen also found some clues.

The biggest flaw is undoubtedly the old man's motionless appearance at this time.

It is not so much a living person as it is a corpse.

Not only that, Jiang Yichen also felt a sense of incongruity in the old man.

Relying on these clues, Jiang Yichen could easily see that the old man was under someone's control.

But he also knew that this was just a flaw exposed by the old man in a defenseless state.

If he really noticed the existence of him and Ming Jingxue, maybe he would wake up from such a "dormant" state.

At that time, it is estimated that only by reaching the same state of Mingjingxue, can he notice the strangeness of the old man.

Otherwise, if the old man lives here, he will soon be seen through.

But unfortunately, even if he knew that the old man in front of him was a clone or puppet of the protagonist, Jiang Yichen could not find the protagonist behind him.

In the old man, there is no breath of the second person at all.

Jiang Yichen glanced at Ming Jingxue who frowned slightly, hoping she could find something.

In his heart, Ming Jingxue is almost omnipotent.

Not only forcibly raised his two realms, but also helped him improve his talent.

Coupled with the various methods she has shown in these days, Jiang Yichen is very confident about it.

The Wu Xiu of the Void God Realm is already the apex of this plane.

Only one step away, they can sit on an equal footing with plane consciousness.

It is not difficult for her to want to find a clue.

But this time disappointed Jiang Yichen.

After Ming Jingxue stared at the old man for a while, she turned her head and shook her head at him, transmitting the voice:

"Someone concealed the secret for him, but when I followed my breath to explore, I encountered a fog."

"Moreover, this person who conceals the secrets for him is at least equivalent to my cultivation level."

After explaining the reason for the inability to do so, Ming Jingxue threw another blockbuster.

These words made Jiang Yichen's heart gradually dignified.
