[How long will he remain in this state? ] Zheng Xiyao asked the system with a hoarse voice.
[According to the original plot, the time for the second personality to appear generally lasts about 4 hours. 】The system answers.
[How long will it take? 】
【ten minutes…】
Ten minutes sounded very short, but as she looked at the thousands of low-level insect soldiers outside the barrier, she was afraid that she would be bitten to pieces the second she stepped out of the barrier.
It seems that this Hawke really hates her.
The man deliberately approached her and whispered in her ear: "If you die, I will definitely find Hunter and give him to you as a burial companion."
Zheng Xiyao sneered when she heard this: "Okay."
【Host? ! 】The system is surprised, which will undoubtedly anger the male protagonist.
Zheng Xiyao lowered her eyes and completely ignored the system's reminder.
When the man heard her answer, his eyes darkened, and he pushed her to the edge of Ace's barrier with his left hand.
"With the order of the Head of State, open the Ace barrier." Following Hawke's order, the barrier behind her slowly faded away.
【warn! warn! The host's life is in danger, please stay away from this place. 】
Zheng Xiyao: [What's the use of warning me? I have to be able to leave. 】
System [Host, I enable world teleportation, let’s give up this mission. 】
Zheng Xiyao: [Then if I give up, can I still go home? 】
The system […host, currently seems unlikely. 】
Zheng Xiyao [Then, don’t leave. 】
She looked up at the male protagonist with a pale face and said calmly to him: "I'm leaving."
Hawke stared at Zheng Xiyao calmly, his dark eyes seemed to have no light at all, as if he had fallen into a black hole of an endless abyss.
"goodbye."
As the man finished speaking, half of her body was revealed outside the Ace barrier.
Zheng Xiyao lowered her eyes, not letting the male protagonist see her fearful expression at this time.
In an instant, low-level Zerg soldiers swarmed up like flies asking for bloody flesh.
[System, how can the male protagonist regain his personality? ] Zheng Xiyao asked fearfully and tremblingly.
[Host, this may be able to help you. 】
Zheng Xiyao felt her chest burning. She rubbed it for a while and took out a worn sachet.
What exactly is this?
"You are still in a trance now." A man's voice suddenly appeared above her head. Zheng Xiyao shook her hand and dropped the sachet and floated towards the male protagonist.
The male protagonist's expression gradually became strange as the sachet fell. His originally cold and stern eyes now revealed sadness.
"Yao'er..."
That soft murmur sounded like an auditory hallucination, and Zheng Xiyao's heart throbbed involuntarily.
"Ah!" Zheng Xiyao shouted in pain. Her left hand had been bitten by an insect soldier, and her sharp teeth pierced the flesh. The pain from her fingers to her heart instantly covered up her heartache.
The male protagonist was awakened by her cry of pain, saw her bloody hands, and subconsciously held her in his arms.
"Yao Yao." The man's hands holding her were trembling and he whispered softly.
It was a familiar yet unfamiliar voice.
Zheng Xiyao was unable to care about anything else because of the pain in her wound, but she suddenly remembered the wailing around her and the strong wind that suddenly blew around her.
She opened her eyes with difficulty, only to realize that three interstellar battleships had appeared overhead and were fighting Zerg soldiers. And they were protected in the arms of the male host armor.
Turns out he was using her as bait.
"Hiss~" Before he could think clearly, his injured left hand felt a chill. It turned out that the special treatment robot in the male host armor was treating his wounds.
"If you hate me so much, why do you want to save me?" Zheng Xiyao said in a hoarse voice.
Upon hearing this, Hawke's eyes darkened, and his deep eyes flashed with a chilling coldness. After a while, he looked at Zheng Xiyao and said, "Only if you have really experienced what I have experienced can you understand firsthand how I felt at that time. Just now, what you experienced was only one-tenth of what I experienced at that time."
Zheng Xiyao was silent after hearing this, then raised her head suddenly, and replied with firm and bright eyes: "I will never regret the decision I made at that time."
Zheng Xiyao will always remember the embrace of the male protagonist Hawke at this time, trembling slightly, as if he wanted to hug her tightly, but also seemed to want to isolate her with disgust.
【? ? what are you saying? ! 】The system said in shock.
God knows it almost burst out after hearing Zheng Xiyao's words.
[Host, do you want to die or not? 】
After treatment, the injury on Zheng Xiyao's hand was no longer as painful as before, and she was finally able to recover.
She weakly said to the system: [I want him to regret what he did today. 】
System: [What do you mean? 】
Zheng Xiyao: [Oh, what are the weaknesses of that second personality? 】
System: ...The second personality is the personality born of the male protagonist because of your betrayal, so as long as the main personality's heart knot is untied, the second personality may disappear.
[Untie the knot...] Zheng Xiyao murmured to herself.
At this moment, a cold mechanical voice sounded: [Alarm cleared, detection environment is safe, no life threat. 】
Zheng Xiyao finally let go of her hanging heart. When she glanced at the sachet in the male protagonist's hand, Zheng Xiyao felt a strange feeling welling up in her heart.
Her intuition told her that it was this sachet that saved her life, which made the second character Hawk change his mind.
"That's mine." Zheng Xiyao pointed to the sachet and said to the hero.
Hawke looked carefully at the sachet in his hand that was damaged by Ace's barrier, and looked confused: "I don't know how it came to be in my hand."
Zheng Xiyao saw that Hawke had memory loss and said, "You broke it. This is a very important thing to me." She directly placed the responsibility for the damage of the sachet on Hawke.
Hawke frowned and said lightly, "Sorry."
"Only sorry?"
"...Then what do you want to do?"
"If I make you angry again, you can't hurt me like you did today," she glanced at him cautiously; "You can't hurt my body, including but not limited to physical and mental."
If the male protagonist agrees, she won't have to worry about her life later.
"Okay." The male protagonist replied in a deep voice after thinking for a while.
Zheng Xiyao was stunned, not expecting that the male protagonist would really agree.
She didn't notice the corners of the male protagonist's mouth rising.
【Niubi! 】The system heard the male protagonist's answer and exclaimed.
Zheng Xiyao: [Heh. 】
"How did you..." Zheng Xiyao watched as Hawke stuffed the sachet into his arms, "That's mine."
"It's mine now." Hawke replied unceremoniously.
Zheng Xiyao waved to the male protagonist, and Hawke approached her. Zheng Xiyao lay on Hawke's shoulder and whispered in his ear: "Hoke, it's time for you to rest."
"What?!" Before Hawke could react, Zheng Xiyao inserted a burst of sedative into the hero's carotid artery.
System: [Host, what are you doing? 】
Zheng Xiyao hugged the male protagonist, hugged his waist, and walked towards the mecha step by step: [Go back, of course. 】
[But if you treat the male protagonist like this, what will he do when he wakes up? 】
[He treated me like this today, of course I can’t live up to his kindness. ] Zheng Xiyao said calmly.
However, after the system took a look at the male protagonist's face, it suddenly said: [But why do I feel... things may not develop as you think. 】
Zheng Xiyao did not listen to the system anymore.
This injection is harmless to the human body. It will only make people fall into nightmares, and the things they fear most will appear repeatedly in their dreams.
And this injection was used by her to save her life when she was in danger in this world. It is a pity that it is now used on the male protagonist.
Hawke, you hurt me and I gave you a good dream, don't thank me too much.
The system trembles: The host looks scary~
