Chapter 533 The System's Return

"Wow! System, you're finally back! ╰(*°▽°*)╯"

Lin Xiyue was so excited when she heard the system's voice that she almost jumped up. Her voice trembled with excitement.

She hadn't heard the system's voice for a very long time, and Lin Xiyue felt as if she had lost an important partner.

When she contacted the system earlier, without any warning, she only received a cold, mechanical voice telling her that the system had an urgent matter to attend to and had to go to the main system, with no return date set.

Although the system left Lin Xiyue with the most basic system functions, it was not the same thing at all!

Without the system around, she felt as if she had lost a friend with whom she could confide and share her joys and sorrows.

Moreover, that mechanical voice was worlds apart from the system's voice, completely lacking the warm and welcoming feel of the system.

Lin Xiyue and the system have been through so much together that she has long regarded the system as her family.

So when the system suddenly disappeared, she was really worried, but there was nothing she could do.

However, right now, the system has returned.

How could Lin Xiyue not be overjoyed?

[Yes, I'm back. (*^▽^*)]

With a light and cheerful tone, the system spoke to Lin Xiyue as usual.

"Great, you're finally back! Have you finished everything? Did you encounter any difficulties or need my help?"

When Lin Xiyue saw the system return, her joy was palpable, and she quickly asked with concern.

[Well...it's basically all done. We haven't encountered any major problems so far, and we don't need your help for now.]

The system thought for a moment, then shook its head and replied.

"That's good. So, now that you're back, you won't be leaving again for a while, right?"

Lin Xiyue's voice revealed a hint of anticipation, and her beautiful eyes were fixed on the system, as if she wanted to find some affirmation from its answer.

[Yes, not for now. Because things are more important for you right now.]

The system nodded heavily in Lin Xiyue's mind in response.

Lin Xiyue frowned slightly, seemingly puzzled by the system's words.

"Huh?! Oh dear?! My situation is more important? You mean, the matter with Amo?"

She hesitated for a moment, then asked.

[Yes, that's right. You know, I also left a backup program with Boss Mo, mainly for easier communication. However, that program also has built-in body monitoring capabilities.]

The system was silent for a moment, then spoke slowly.

Lin Xiyue's expression turned serious. She realized that the system's words were implied, and that something must have happened to A Mo.

"I understand that. Now, what's happening over there?"

She took a deep breath, composed herself, and then pressed for an answer.

[Yes. ]

[I actually got back last night. But you were already asleep, and I didn't want to disturb your sweet dreams, so I didn't wake you.]

The system's voice rang in Lin Xiyue's mind.

Lin Xiyue could imagine that she was immersed in a sweet dream last night, and then the system returned.

[When I saw Boss Mo next to you, out of habit, I gave you a full body scan.]

[At the same time, I also received some materials related to the assistant program. It was during this process that I discovered some problems.]

The system continued.

Lin Xiyue focused her attention, trying to visualize the scenario described by the system more clearly in her mind.

She noticed that the orb representing the system seemed dimmer than usual, probably because it was also worried about the discovery.

"What exactly happened? Is it serious?"

Lin Xiyue's heart began to race involuntarily, and she asked anxiously.

[Well... I'm not entirely sure myself, because I can't immediately say whether this situation is serious or not.]

The system hesitated for a moment before replying.

Lin Xiyue frowned deeply, somewhat confused by the system's response.

She had initially thought the system would provide a clear answer, telling her the severity of the problem, but now it seemed the situation was far more complicated than she had imagined.

"What do you mean?"

Lin Xiyue looked at the system with a face full of suspicion, her heart filled with doubt and confusion.

She couldn't understand what the system was saying because, normally, the system would present the scan results in the form of data, which would be clear and easy to understand.

But this time, the system suddenly said "it's hard to say," which surprised Lin Xiyue.

Could it be a system malfunction?

Lin Xiyue couldn't help but feel suspicious, after all, this situation was not common.

She suspected that the system might have encountered some kind of error or vulnerability, causing it to be unable to display data correctly.

"Is there a bug in your code? Is that why it's hard to say?"

So she directly asked the system this question.

The system seemed to want to explain, but found it difficult to express clearly in words.

After hesitating for a moment, it decided not to waste any more words and instead directly presented the relevant data to Lin Xiyue, letting her review and understand it herself.

Seeing this, Lin Xiyue stopped asking questions and quickly focused her attention on the data displayed by the system, hoping to find some clues to solve the mystery in her heart.

Scan results:

Its body was constantly fluctuating violently, with each fluctuation alternating between rapid decay and rapid recovery, occurring at least five times per second.

Alarm! Alarm! Alarm!

Their health is facing an unknown and significant danger; please seek medical attention immediately.

The scan results were displayed in large red font, making the three alerts and exclamation marks stand out prominently.

When Lin Xiyue saw the brief scan results, her face instantly turned ashen.

Her eyes widened as she stared at the screen in disbelief, her heart filled with worry for Meros's current condition.

"It's so dangerous! Why didn't you say so sooner?!"

Lin Xiyue's voice became sharp with extreme shock. She stood up abruptly, gripping the edge of the table tightly with both hands, her body trembling slightly.

While yelling at the system in her mind, she prepared to leave without hesitation, anxious to find Hissel and have her take her to see Meros immediately.

[There was no other way, Boss Mo wouldn't let me wake you up...]

The system's voice sounded somewhat aggrieved and helpless; it seemed to realize its mistake but didn't know how to explain it.

"He tells you not to tell, so you won't?! Are you stupid? Can't you tell what's important and what's urgent? If he told you never to tell me something like this, would you never tell me?"

Lin Xiyue's emotions became increasingly agitated.
