Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 1798: Chapter 1801: Imagination

Under Lu Xiaobu’s waiting, there was finally a response.

But.

What appeared in front of Lu Xiaobu was not the system, but an old man.

And it was presenting outside, not directly in his mind.

”A portable grandpa?”

Lu Xiaobu frowned, exited the child’s consciousness, and looked at the translucent old man floating in the air.

”What are you talking about?!”

The old man frowned, very displeased: ”You, junior, are so rude. When I was roaming the world, you weren’t even born!”

Lu Xiaobu still ignored him and looked towards the system: ”Is it him?”

”Yes and no!” The system shook its head and looked at the old man: ”He should be an existence similar to me.”

”Oh?!”

Lu Xiaobu raised an eyebrow, and he understood.

What kind of existence is the system?

The spokesperson of the system’s origin!

And this old man is also a spokesperson!

”Junior!”

The old man was extremely angry, staring fiercely at Lu Xiaobu: ”Who are you, what do you want?!”

”Shut up!”

Lu Xiaobu’s face turned cold and he grabbed the old man, glaring at him: ”The one I’m looking for is not you, but the thing behind you, or rather, the thing behind that. Don’t provoke me, otherwise, I’ll kill you!”

”Don’t talk to me about who you used to be, I don’t care! Remember, right now, just now, you’re nothing!”

After saying this, the old man’s face flushed red, but he didn’t dare to resist.

He could deceive some naive young men, but against a truly ruthless character like this, he was utterly powerless!

After all, although he’s not the same kind of entity as a system, their mode of existence is similar—parasitic!

It seems they don’t need anything, yet they silently reap many benefits.

As long as they are slightly stronger than the host, they can control the host!

The child next to them was completely stunned!

The old man had told him he was a former Demon Lord, but now, how did he end up like this?!

”How is it? Can you find the origin?”

Lu Xiaobu looked towards the system.

”I should be able to, I’ll give it a try!”

The system-controlled Knight robot squinted its eyes, a hint of madness emanating.

Even though he is lazy, doing nothing all day.

But, you should know, proximity to vermilion makes you red, proximity to ink makes you black!

Him?

It’s not a matter of proximity, but parasitizing on such a host.

Think about it, what kind of personality would he be subtly influenced into!

Lazier than anyone when he needs to be lazy, crazier than anyone when he needs to be crazy.

If what he’s doing now were to be known by other systems, they’d go crazy!

But him?

Not scared at all, instead eager to give it a try!

”Host, bring him close to me, don’t let him leave!”

The system spoke out.

”Okay!”

Lu Xiaobu nodded and brought the old man and the Knight robot together!

In an instant.

Lu Xiaobu saw the Knight robot freeze.

Meanwhile, the old man began to tremble violently: ”What are you doing?! What are you doing?! Let go of me!”

”Shut up! Release everything you have! Or I’ll kill you!” Lu Xiaobu looked at him coldly.

”Let go of me! You want to kill me?! But I am...”

The old man shouted loudly.

Earlier he could refrain from resisting, but now, he couldn’t help it!

”Do you think I can’t kill you?” Lu Xiaobu’s eyes flashed with a dangerous light: ”But what if I kill him instead?!”

Lu Xiaobu looked at the old man’s host next to him.

The system said, if the host dies, the system will perish.

This should be the same!

Indeed!

The old man was stunned, looking incredulously at Lu Xiaobu.

”I know much more than you do!”

Lu Xiaobu whispered softly.

But after saying this, the old man no longer dared to resist!

As long as the host is alive, even if he’s crushed, he can still catch a breath and resurrect.

But on the flip side, he’s done for!

”Host, found it!”

At this moment, the system’s excited voice echoed from within the old man’s body.

Then came a rough voice.

”Damn it, trying to run?!”

”The boss can’t handle the essence being, but can’t I handle you?!”

”What do you think you are! Can’t even speak, and daring to run?!”

”Hide!? Can you hide?! Such a tiny place!”

The system’s grumbling voice kept coming out.

Listen, it’s obviously Lu Xiaobu’s system!

Soon.

The Knight robot regained its spirit.

Conversely, the old man’s body became increasingly flimsy.

”What exactly is it?”

Lu Xiaobu asked the system.

”Can’t take it out, use your Divine Thought to see! This thing looks familiar!”

The system said somewhat puzzled.

”Okay, I’ll take a look.”

Lu Xiaobu nodded.

Divine Thought entered.

Suddenly, he discovered a round thing floating up and down.

”Hiss! This is...”

Lu Xiaobu frowned, staring at the round thing intently.

Yes, just like the system said, this thing also seemed familiar to him.

”Damn! Isn’t this a World Tree Seed?!”

Lu Xiaobu remembered!

”Damn! It really is!”

The system also exclaimed.

World Tree Seed, others may find this thing unfamiliar, but not Lu Xiaobu and the system!

They had seen it twice!

Once when it was planted in the core of Gourd Island by that Sao Bao.

The other when he opened a passage to the Heavenly Dynasty using his own Golden Core.

At this moment, seeing this thing, they suddenly remembered!

”The World Tree Seed is the system’s origin?!”

Lu Xiaobu muttered to himself.

”Then if that’s the case, then the system, you are likely the consciousness formed from the Golden Core planted in the seed?!”

”Very possible, very possible!”

”Everyone knows the seed can open a passage when planted in the core, but no one ever said what the seed would eventually become!”

”Since the seed can open passages, it proves that it has the ability to traverse space, just like how the system retrieves things from other spaces for me!”

”Right, right, everything is linked together, it should be correct! Correct!”

Lu Xiaobu hypothesized to himself.

The system was stunned: ”So, at the very beginning, I was also a person? More accurately, a part of a person?”

”Also, if that’s the case, host, then won’t your Golden Core eventually become like me?!”

”Hehe, if you encounter a host similar to you, hahaha! Even you have your day!”

”Get lost!” Lu Xiaobu kicked out!

However!

Even after being kicked, the system didn’t stop this wonderful fantasy!

The main thing is, this fantasy is just too wonderful!

Just thinking about his lawless host getting tormented, hahahahahahahahaha!
