The Host Has Fallen for the Second Female Lead Again - Chapter 112

Qin Xiu’s heart was a little flustered, but he quickly calmed down. He did want to escape and had to do it before that man returned.

Being able to read people’s minds was a very unpleasant feeling of being seen through, and it made him feel a shiver down his spine.

Now that the man wasn’t here, he could act however he wanted.

After he threw a punch back, the people around him quieted down.

Qin Xiu walked out and quickly contacted Ji Mingxiao.

When Ji Mingxiao received Qin Xiu’s message, she raised an eyebrow, a bit speechless, but she still sent someone to pick him up.

When the two met, many people from the Qin family also arrived. Qin Xiu’s parents were there, and their expressions were more sullen than the others.

“You already left, why come back?” Ji Mingxiao’s tool was already in her hand, and she glanced at Xianyu.

Xianyu waved her hand, signaling that she would handle it.

Ji Mingxiao breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that she didn’t have to fight for it.

“I just got involved. I don’t know anything about what they did. There’s no need for me to hide with them.”

“But you were involved, and you trapped me there. That should count as kidnapping, right? Then you set up a trap on Spirit Mountain to try to kill me, so that’s attempted murder, isn’t it?” Ji Mingxiao smiled.

Qin Xiu’s expression was a little grim.

“Wanwan, I think this matter…”

Qin Xiu’s parents wanted to speak, but Ji Mingxiao had no intention of listening to their explanations.

“Tell me, where is their base? Also, have you seen the mastermind?” Ji Mingxiao looked at Qin Xiu.

“I’ll give you the address. I saw that person; they can read minds,” Qin Xiu said. “I’ve been out for so long now, I don’t know if they’ve moved.”

Ji Mingxiao nodded. “You’ll stay in the Qin family for this period. Don’t go out.”

“Okay.”

He didn’t want to go out either. The Qin family was safer now, although he didn’t know if there were others here who were with those people.

After getting the address, the Qin family immediately sent people over, and Ji Mingxiao followed.

As expected, when they arrived, the place was deserted.

However, on the ground in the courtyard, there was a huge array left behind, written in blood.

Ji Mingxiao took a quick look and directly broke the array. Forcibly breaking an array was the most fatal method.

“Is that so casual?”

“Yes.” Ji Mingxiao nodded, then glanced at the person, carrying a hint of an otherworldly master’s demeanor.

Everyone present was a little shocked.

They had only heard that Ji Mingxiao was formidable, but they didn’t know she had reached this level.

The single move she showed today was enough to win over those who had been unconvinced by her before.

After checking the courtyard inside and out, there was nothing else strange besides that array. They had left cleanly, without a single soul left behind.

“Qin Xiu said they want to create another Spirit Mountain. Where do you think they will choose the location?” Ji Mingxiao asked.

Everyone exchanged glances, but no one spoke.

There were just too many places to choose from.

After all, those people didn’t necessarily have to stay in K City.

Ji Mingxiao knew her question was asking for too much.

She took a deep breath.

Qin Xiu was no longer of any use, so in the evening, she used her tool to collect him.

The conscious Qin Xiu was taken away, and the system would re-arrange a new NPC to go online. The new NPC would still follow the original trajectory but would gradually fade out of the plot, reducing their impact on the world.

Ji Mingxiao’s points became 10,000, and she was in a great mood.

However, when she returned to her room, she saw an unfamiliar number calling her frantically.

She answered.

Xiang Ying’s voice came from the other side.

“I’ve come to K City.”

Ji Mingxiao frowned. Hearing Xiang Ying’s voice, Xi Ruan also came closer, looking curious.

“What are you doing here?”

Xiang Ying took a deep breath. “Are you doing something dangerous? Did you break up with me because you were afraid I would worry?”

“Can I come and stay with you?”

Ji Mingxiao: ???

“You’re quite imaginative. No, you don’t need to. Please go back. Don’t come and cause me trouble.”

“Wanwan…”

“Anyone trying to get close to me now, I suspect them of having ulterior motives. If you come, I will contact the police directly,” Ji Mingxiao said.

Xiang Ying on the other end was stunned.

Xi Ruan immediately laughed out loud.

“Please go back immediately,” Ji Mingxiao sneered. “What I’m doing has always been confidential. I don’t know where you heard any news, but whatever it is, I hope you drop it.”

“How can you think that of me?”

“Why can’t I?” Ji Mingxiao hung up the phone after speaking.

She was feeling a little irritated.

“I think she’ll still come.”

“Yeah.” Ji Mingxiao rubbed her temples. “Why is this person so annoying?”

Xi Ruan coughed twice and said in a high-pitched voice, “When you liked her, you called her ‘sweetie pie,’ but now you don’t, and you’re even going to call the police.”

Ji Mingxiao glanced at Xi Ruan.

Xi Ruan smiled cheerfully. Ji Mingxiao reached out and suddenly grabbed Xi Ruan’s wrist.

Xi Ruan was stunned for a moment, and the next second, she was in Ji Mingxiao’s arms.

“Why can you touch me?” Xi Ruan blinked. It had been a long time since she had touched anything, and her expression was a little dazed.

“As a person, you have to find a way to solve problems.” Ji Mingxiao pinched Xi Ruan’s face. “Sweetie pie, don’t you agree?”

Xi Ruan: …

“Hmph.” Xi Ruan turned her face away, a little uncomfortable.

Ji Mingxiao rubbed Xi Ruan’s face again. “Don’t you agree?”

“I’m going to get angry.” Xi Ruan glared at Ji Mingxiao in warning.

“Mm.” Ji Mingxiao kissed Xi Ruan’s cheek.

“By the way, if Xiang Ying is coming, does that mean Qin Wan’s arch-nemesis has already appeared?” Xi Ruan asked, suddenly realizing this.

“Probably.” Ji Mingxiao tapped the table.

“It would be a lot of trouble if the arch-nemesis and that problematic NPC teamed up, wouldn’t it?” Xi Ruan frowned.

“True, but Xiang Ying will still come, so it shouldn’t be too difficult to catch him.”

Xi Ruan glanced at Ji Mingxiao, thinking deeply that what she was talking about was not the same thing as what she was saying.

“I feel like you’ve gotten a little cocky.”

Ji Mingxiao: …

“How can you say that? I’m still very serious. After all, I still want many more 10,000 points.”

Xi Ruan gave Ji Mingxiao another look, not wanting to say anything more to her.

She found a comfortable position in Ji Mingxiao’s arms and snuggled up.

“Am I a lounge chair?”

“Yes.”

Ji Mingxiao hugged her waist and rubbed her neck.

“It tickles,” Xi Ruan whispered.

Ji Mingxiao glanced at Xi Ruan again. “Don’t make strange noises.”

“Hmm?”

“When you make a sound like that, I want to kiss you.” But she didn’t want to use someone else’s mouth.

“I’m trying to hold back.”

Xi Ruan: …

The next second, she wanted to jump down, but Ji Mingxiao held her waist.

“We’ll just sleep together tonight.”

“But I don’t need to sleep.” Xi Ruan was in a state where she couldn’t sleep no matter what.

“Then just keep me company while I sleep.” Ji Mingxiao took Xi Ruan’s hand and shook it. “I won’t do anything.”

“What else do you want to do?” Xi Ruan’s voice immediately rose an octave.

Xianyu, standing at the door, was silent for a few seconds and then knocked. “Sorry, did I interrupt you?”

“No, you didn’t. We’re not doing anything,” Xi Ruan said immediately, quickly scrambling out of Ji Mingxiao’s arms.

After she said it, she realized her words were like a guilty admission. Xi Ruan coughed twice, her face slightly flushed.

Xianyu looked a little helpless. “Han Zhao has appeared in K City.”

“Mm.”

Han Zhao was the villainous leader who was at odds with Qin Wan.

“After Han Zhao came, he came into contact with another person. I suspect it’s the bug, because their appearance is very similar to what Qin Xiu described.”

Ji Mingxiao rubbed her temples, a little annoyed. She actually ran into them.

But it was also normal. To deal with outsiders like them, the more people, the better.

To capture a bug, the AI needs to be completely incapacitated, so the stronger the opponent, the harder they are to capture.

Ji Mingxiao tapped the table.

“Then let’s just wait for them to come to us,” Ji Mingxiao stretched.

“Oh, then I’ll go look for them,” Xianyu said and left.

Ji Mingxiao’s hand paused.

She cursed silently. Everyone was a potential source of points.

Sure enough, she couldn’t just wait for people to come to her. At Xianyu’s speed, she probably wouldn’t get to them in time.

And she was very curious as to why Xianyu could find so many people so quickly.

“It’s normal. She likes doing these kinds of missions and already has experience. She can tell at a glance who is a normal AI, an awakened AI, or a mission taker,” System A said. “Everyone has their specialty. If you came and just pressed them down, what would be the fun in that? She’s a great god who has been at the top of the points list for many years.”

Ji Mingxiao nodded, not getting too hung up on it.

But she was still a little annoyed. She went out and looked around, noticing the camera under the porch, and raised an eyebrow, suddenly having a bold idea.

At one in the morning, five little paper men scurried out of the room.

If you were lucky, you would see them running on the cameras in various places.

Ji Mingxiao had three or four computers on her desk, all turned on, and many screens were already showing surveillance footage.

“How long are you going to stare at this?”

“It will automatically lock onto the target.” Ji Mingxiao tapped her phone. “Who would have thought there would be a picture of Han Zhao in here?”

Xi Ruan: …

“Won’t you get caught? If you do, you’ll be arrested, right?”

“Don’t worry, I won’t. I’m using a metaphysical method of hacking. No one can find a trace,” Ji Mingxiao made a hand gesture.

Xi Ruan: …

“Why can’t you do something good?” Xi Ruan poked Ji Mingxiao’s head, leaned in, and glanced at the computer screen. Just that one look made her feel dizzy.
