Author System ZHIZHI
Jiang Chen Lu was late. The moment he stopped and appeared at Qiong Qi's side, Mo Guan's body had already crashed and fell down hard onto the ground. He could hear the sound of broken bones.
Speechless, he threw a sharp gaze toward the elated Qiong Qi, just to see that the fiend didn't even feel guilty the slightest bit!
"I said, don't kill them, did I?", he fumed.
Greenish glow appeared all of a sudden and completely engulfed Qiong Qi inside. After sometimes, it slowly dimmed and a figure of red haired and thick bearded middle-aged man appeared from within.
"Why couldn't I? Just had a little revenge, not a big deal at all. Beside, just like this, you can still repair them, right?", Qiong Qi said nonchalantly.
If you looked more closely, you could see blue veins bulging on Jiang Chen Lu's forehead. A very rare sight!
"Can't. If not, I've resurrected that corpse over there.", he pointed his index finger toward first madam Jiang's coffin.
"Eh? You can't?", Qiong Qi was a little bit surprised. "You haven't healed yet? Why does it take so long?"
Jiang Chen Lu sighed and shook his head. "I miscalculated everything. The price I must paid was too heavy. The curse was too powerful, I was wrong thought that I could solve it with just my power."
Qiong Qi didn't utter a single word.
"And people from Ye clan had started to move. Their master is although young but very fierce. I'm afraid that they won't wait anymore.", Jiang Chen Lu added.
Both men stood at the center of that huge and completely messy hall, stared silently at the coffin in front of them. Corpse were lying around under their feet. Blood splattered everywhere. The only one still breathing weakly was the dying Mo Guan. Just a little bit more and he would soon come down to have a panoramic travel across the yellow river.
Qiong Qi was the first who broke the silence.
"I think, this is the time we should have a family meeting.", he grinned sinisterly. "Don't you think so, my brother?"
Jiang Chen Lu didn't reply. Standing firmly, he seemed to be calm. But from inside of his indifferent eyes, a chilling glint flashed before it disappeared the next second.
…
The cliff was surrounded by thick mist. Nothing could be seen everywhere, only stones and mist. Black and white.
The temperature was low. The sound of howling wind could be heard.
Very odd. Because if you observed it carefully, you would found out that…
There was actually no wind at all there!
The time seemed to be stagnant, nothing was moving. Even not a single fleck of dust.
At the center peak of the cliff, there was a small green thing on top of a big rock.
Green frog.
With all the thick mist covering it and its eyes closed, looked like that it was sleeping.
[System recovery completed. Initializing datas. 1%… 2%… 3%…]
A girl's voice suddenly heard, echoed in the air. Not knowing from where it came from...
[…98%… 99%… 100%. Re-activation completed. Welcome, host!]
And the surrounding mist disappeared instantly, showing a scenery of vast blue sky and shinning sun.
Green frog opened its two red protruding round eyes.
"Show me the recent progress!", it ordered.
[Affirmative. Searching the requesting datas…]
A book sized blue transparent screen appeared, showing a long list in small font.
[Displaying recent progress. Storyline deviation detected. Advanced analysis recommended.]
Two big red rectangular icons, 'YES' and 'NO', appeared.
"Storyline deviation?", green frog was startled. It leapt forward onto the ground. Green mist suddenly came out, enveloping its body. Next moment, it already changed into a human girl figure in green simple dress.
Green frog turned back and sat on top of the big rock, quickly touched the icon 'YES' on the screen.
The girl's voice was heard once again.
[Executing advanced analysis.]
The red icons disappeared, replaced by a big spinning and flickering blue circle symbol. At the center, there was a number in percentage. It slowly changed from 1% to 2 % to 3% and so on. Green Frog waited impatiently until the number showed a 100%.
[Analysis completed. Displaying result.]
Another list appeared on the screen. Green Frog read it carefully.

"It shouldn't be like this!", Green Frog exclaimed in shocked. "How could everything turn into a mess like this? Zhizhi, tell me! Is it possible that all of these were caused by eldest brother?"
[Responding. Author System doesn't have the feature mentioned. System Investigation recommended.]
The corner of Green Frog's lips twitched. She fumed, "Can you please change the way you talk to me? So annoying!"
[Affirmative. Opening setting menu. Changing speech output.]
Green Frog slapped her forehead in frustration. Feeling an urge to weep, she really wanted to tell her deceased master that the system he had created was a big failure!
[Alri~ight. Host, I had already changed it. What do you think? Are you happy? v(^o^)v]
Green Frog really wished that she able to throw this shitty system all the way into the outer space!
"Zhizhi…", she sighed heavily. "Now I need you to investigate the cause of all this mess. Quickly, please."
[Okay~ wait for a while, yes?]
On the screen in front of her, that blue flickered circle, appeared once again. This time, Green Frog could hear clearly as Zhizhi humming a nursery song cheerfully.
[Somebody… please…]
Feeling helpless, Green Frog stared skyward sluggishly.
[Done!], Zhizhi exclaimed gleefully.
[I already found the cause. Host, there is an unknown code from unknown source infiltrating my core that I can't remove. It have the ability to temporarily take over my control. And the worse is, seemed like that it had been there since the first time I was created.]
