The System Make Me Near With The Emperor
Chapter 36

"So, there's actually a hidden mission? And that hidden mission is to experience death again?" Xie Hongyi spoke while asking for affirmation on the little white fox which turned out to be the original form of the system that guided him all along.

"really. You'll get a high exp, but your points are reset. "

"Are you kidding me? I'm a poor point and with confidence you take all my points?" Xie Hongyi could not help his voice.

The system timidly looked at Xie Hongyi. "Don't blame me. That's the policy of the center. I'm just running what I'm told." The little fox then explained. "You were already dead when you drowned. But since it is a hidden mission, your soul will return. And when you complete that mission, then your level will instantly rise to Senior level. The system will also be updated and the redemption space as well. This space was actually a time-dimensional space, only hosts who had reached Senior level could have it."

"But, the impact of your points will be reset to zero. You'll have to go on another mission if you want your points back."

Xie Hongyi was about to make another sound when he heard cries out of nowhere. "Who is crying?"

The little fox looked around. "Maybe the sound came from outside."

Xie Hongyi realized that he had to get out of there immediately. "How do I get out of here?"

The little fox pointed in a direction with its claws. "You can get out that door."

Xie Hongyi looked at the direction the little fox pointed at and found a door on which was a red and flickering 'EXIT' inscription from the LED. "That's the way out?" Why is there no waiting room?

The little fox who saw Xie Hongyi said like that, then spoke while snatching. "Would you like to go out or not?"

"All right." Then Xie Hongyi walked towards the exit.

As he walked through the door, a white light filled Xie Hongyi's gaze. And after that light faded, Xie Hongyi had returned to his body.

"Then, now is there a mission I have to work on?" Xie Hongyi said to the system he had now released. The little animal was sitting on the edge of his bed.

"You need to find the trigger. Triggers can come from someone else or yourself."

Other guy? Xie Hongyi felt a little clueless. But if he remembered the things that happened before, he finally understood. At the time of the first mission, two men came to his residence and said that he had to come to court to be questioned. Then the second mission, when he saw Prince Jue, gave him a mission to entertain him. Then the next missions are the same, the trigger comes from someone else. Thinking about this, he then remembered something. "System, what about the skeleton I saw at the bottom of the lake?"

Yes, the white object he saw at the bottom of the pond or lake was a pile of human bones.

"The trigger has been activated! It was your mission to find the truth." As he said this, the long ears of the little fox swayed.

"Then I'll investigate!" For the sake of points he would do anything!

Xie Hongyi stood by the lake while holding his chin, looking like he was thinking. His eyes stared at the reflection of himself on the water. Previously, Xie Hongyi had already entered the pond and drowned due to osmotic pressure.

The pool has a depth of about 10 meters. The water temperature is cold because soon the winter is coming. After taking a look around the lake, Xie Hongyi decided to leave.

As his clothes were dangling down to the soles of his feet, when he stepped, Xie Hongyi's feet instead stumbled and nearly fell into the pond again. But a big, strong hand held his stomach, holding himself back from falling. "Do you want to die?" A thunderous voice with an angry tone echoed above Xie Hongyi's head.

Through his reflection on the water, it turned out that the person who saved him was Huang Long. Xie Hongyi turned his head, and looked at the black-faced Huang Long. "Your Majesty, I don't want to die." Xie Hongyi did not realize that his tone was like that of a child.

"Then why are you here?"

"I'm taking a walk. Not more."

Xie Hongyi denied. "But I still want to take a walk."

Huang Long's eyes narrowed dangerously. No one knew of her worried and anxious feelings when yesterday she heard the news that Xie Hongyi was drowning. He also investigated what had really happened. The servants who caused Xie Hongyi to drown will be sentenced to death. At one point he saw Xie Hongyi standing by the pool almost falling down, the feeling of anxiety and worry coming back. He quickly ran towards Xie Hongyi before it was too late. "You dare to refute Zhen?"

Xie Hongyi was always astonished. She used to be a strict and independent-minded woman. He always gave orders to others. But why was it that when he faced Huang Long he was always a little afraid? As of this moment, when Huang Long finished speaking, his body trembled slightly and it was as if he would always obey Huang Long.

Biting his own teeth, Xie Hongyi said heavily. "All right."

After which, Huang Long removed his hand from Xie Hongyi's stomach. Xie Hongyi realized that his body was still held by Huang Long. His face was burning, and he looked the other way. "good. Come back." Huang Long finally left.

Xie Hongyi thought that Huang Long's attitude towards him was like a ghost, who came and went all of a sudden.

The corner of Xie Hongyi's eyes glanced at Huang Long. The man was walking followed by some people who seemed to be officials and some eunuchs. Wait, if they were here just now, that means they saw him hugged by Huang Long?!

Xie Hongyi crouched down while covering his face with both hands. "Ohhhh!" Xie Hongyi let out a small scream.

Next to his ears, he heard a mocking sound of ruckus. The system is laughing at him! Hardly Xie Hongyi held the ear of the system. Shame and blush had overflowed into the free air as he ridiculed the system. "You must be taught a lesson." After saying so, heartlessly Xie Hongyi sunk the system into the lake.

"Hmmm..." Rebellious system.

By the time the system was lifted back up, the little fox was drenched. He looked sadly at Xie Hongyi. Xie Hongyi felt that his actions were a little cruel. But he was also angry at the system. "More times I'll give you another punishment if you make fun of me again." He said sweet on the system.

The little fox whined. Why did he get such a cruel host!

Nightfall.

A woman dressed in black seemed to be sneaking around the backyard. The woman then stopped at a lake where the water seemed calm, reflecting the shape of the moon hanging in the night sky.

The woman then took off her clothes. It turned out that under the dark clothes he was wearing a darker and tighter shirt. He then opened the bag he was carrying and attached several objects from inside the bag to his body. Once everything was ready, he then jumped into the lake. The cold temperature of the lake made his body shiver. But he stubbornly remained diving into the lake.

In the water, he dived while looking for something. Just relying on the light shining on his head, he fumbled at the bottom of the lake. Shortly after, he finally found the thing he was looking for.

But the moment he picked up the object, suddenly a long pointed tip shot out from the surface. Unfortunately, it was stuck around his feet. "Damn!" Xie Hongyi cursed inwardly.

The woman turned out to be Xie Hongyi. With a complete set for diving, he dived into the lake to search for the skeleton. He wanted to identify the bone to find out its identity.

He heard someone shouting something. "Infoiler!"

Apparently when he jumped into the lake and made a sound, there was a soldier on patrol hearing him. The soldier then went to check and found a set of clothes lying by the lake. The soldier was convinced that the clothes belonged to the person inside the lake because there was a splash of water by the lake.

The soldier then called his other companion. They concluded that it was an intruder and tried to attack the intruder.

After one arrow was fired, the other arrows followed. In the water, Xie Hongyi struggled to remove the arrows stuck on the feet of his fish.

As the dozens of arrows reached the edge of the lake, Xie Hongyi tried to avoid them as much as possible, but because he could not freely move, one of the arrows managed to scratch his right upper arm. Surprised by the pain, Xie Hongyi forcefully pulled his leg. Eventually the fish's leg slipped off the arrow and Xie Hongyi was able to move to escape.
