Who let him join the Sword Sect?!-Chapter 653 - 355: The Future of the Six Sects Is Shrouded in Darkness

Ever since the Noobs 'Old Thing' took over the account and had a fallout with the little monk, Miemie lost contact with it.

All communications are unread and unanswered, only cold automatic responses.

"Otherwise, why do you think it's so difficult for me to get some points? If Old Thing was around, it would've been arranged for me long ago."

Miemie shrugged, implying that's just how things are.

"But if the Old Thing is gone, then what's going on with Everywhere Pass now?" Zhang Ze examined the room furnishings, somewhat puzzled.

Whether it was last night's covert visit or this moment of meeting, that indescribable power still loomed over Everywhere Pass, never fading for a moment.

And Miemie's big book continued to function normally.

"Old Thing said it's called automatic operation. Whether something unexpected happens to me or it, this... model or plan can continue running smoothly."

"So, when Old Thing is absent, this book will still work, and Everywhere Pass will continue to operate, until its return."

"And if I'm not there, the person certified will become the new Miemie, continuing to serve Old Thing."

Miemie found a throw pillow, crossed her legs and sat on it, speaking.

From what Miemie means, she and 'Old Thing' exist independently within this system, one as the executor, the other as the administrator.

No matter who is absent, there will be a successor to fill the vacancy.

But if that's the case, then what's the deal with his system?

Not entirely an administrator-free automatic response, it still retains some subjective initiative, but isn't as lively as 'Old Thing'.

And it never communicates with him.

Odd.

Zhang Ze pondered for a while and stopped fretting about his system, then looked at Miemie and asked.

"So, what exactly is the plan you have with Old Thing, and where do you come from?"

Listening to Zhang Ze's words, Miemie shrugged again, "I don't know."

She hopped off the little pillow and paced back and forth on the table with her hands behind her back. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

"I was about to ask you about this too? Since the items in the box are yours, you might really be my predecessor, so what did you do back then?"

Zhang Ze felt a bit embarrassed, "If I knew, why would I come here looking for you."

Miemie, "True."

Both of them fell into silence for a moment.

Zhang Ze arrived at a coincidental time, and Miemie had just had her memory washed by Old Thing, recalling nothing, while the talkative 'Old Thing' was nowhere to be found.

Zhang Ze was thinking while nudging his system, hoping it could speak like Old Thing does.

The system and Old Thing definitely have some connection, otherwise one wouldn't be storing the box and the other the key.

But the system remained silent, only persistently displaying popups.

Looking at the popups, Zhang Ze suddenly exclaimed.

[Task: Exorcism][Task Objective: Eliminate that bald guy]

A task named Exorcism had been occupying the top spot of the system page since last night, like a stubborn stain.

And he remembered, Miemie mentioned that Old Thing's disappearance was also due to this task named Exorcism.

Is this a hint to me?

Should I accept it.

Reluctantly, Zhang Ze clicked on accept.

However, the moment Zhang Ze confirmed it, the system stuttered then dinged, directly blue-screened.

Crapped out.

'No need to be that excited, I'm only half a year behind on tasks, seriously.'

While waiting for the system to reboot, Zhang Ze asked Miemie.

"By the way, Miemie, earlier you mentioned when you fought with the little monk, there was a black handprint on his back, lacking one finger, right?"

Miemie thought for a moment then nodded, "Yes, the monk had a handprint on his back, what's up?"

"No wonder." As soon as Zhang Ze realized this person was involved too, he felt troubled.

The little monk, although seemingly easygoing, is actually quite a stubborn brute, almost a hidden punk.

Adding in the principle of triple-strength when blackened, the little monk controlled by Emperor Xiaojing's hand makes him genuinely dangerous now.

Speaking of Emperor Xiaojing, Zhang Ze recalled a past event he discussed during casual chats with Jade Book Tower.

Loulou mentioned that in Emperor Xiaojing's later years, he once contemplated exchanging East Sea and Diannan lands for Northern Territory Demon Race territory.

But due to its absurdity, the matter ultimately fizzled out.

If Xiaojing's goal had always been the system...

"Northern Territory..."

Mumbling these two words, Zhang Ze recalled the ancient Demon Race city he recently encountered in Li's stomach, and the Everywhere Pass within that city.

He pinpointed two threads in the chaos he left behind.

One thread is the little monk's bald head, who at this moment might be entangled with Emperor Xiaojing's Immortal hand, finding him could lead to finding 'Old Thing', thereby uncovering his personal secrets.

And the second thread is to head north, go to the Demon Race's Imperial Capital, White Emperor City, and directly unravel the secrets he buried years ago.

Zhang Ze shared his thoughts with Miemie, suggesting they head straight to White Emperor City.

Firstly, the matter of the little monk and the Immortal hand could be handled by the Six Sects. Secondly, the issue in White Emperor City likely falls on the shoulders of just the two of them.

Besides the big shots of the Human Race being unable to go north due to conflicting paths, the second reason is currently only the two of them unaffected by such twisted cognitive forces.
