Chapter 144 My sister-in-law is...
The system naturally saw the witch's donation, and it became even more panicked. Although it knew that the viewers in the live stream could not reveal key information, it was still worried that Yan Xun would discover something.
Fortunately, it is currently in the form of a plush dinosaur, so Yan Xun really can't see any emotional changes from its plush face.
Yan Xun also saw the donation, of course, after he opened the live stream he hadn't watched since entering this instance.
I noticed the comments section was filled with people betting on who that "sister-in-law" was—
I bet 1000 points that my sister-in-law is definitely Mu Yuanming!
[Impossible! If my sister-in-law were Mu Yuanming, would this man really be so ruthless as to kill her?]
[I think my sister-in-law is probably He Jingtang... Once Yan Xun confesses, she'll 100% agree.]
[Who said that? He Jingtang is a straight man, okay!]
[Heh, "straight men" is a lie you've told me; I've seen through it all.]
Yan Xun: "..."
So before the rollback, he secretly started dating someone, hiding it from everyone, including the system?
Even the people in the live stream didn't know how they dated.
"I've never been on a date even once?" Yan Xun asked the viewers in the live stream.
【No! If you'd even been on a date, would we need to be guessing here? (annoyed)】
Be bold, maybe I'll take them all, haha.
[That makes sense. Emperor Yan is truly blessed; his harem is filled with such troublesome beauties. How delightful!]
[Get out of here if you're running a large compound! This is where Product Manager shines, and I support He Jinqiu!]
[He Jinqiu is the least likely candidate. They share a room and haven't done anything suspicious. Could she be Yan Xun's secret lover?]
"You mean, even though I've never been on a date or even confessed my feelings, I have a sister-in-law?" Yan Xun even suspected that the live stream and the system were lying to him.
How exactly did he manage to bypass the system and the viewers in the live stream and secretly start a relationship?
And then this person was discovered by a Weibo post...?
The person who leaked this information on Weibo must be incredibly shrewd, right?
Wait a minute, Yan Xun fell silent for a few seconds for no apparent reason.
He knew himself quite well; the sister-in-law he created to pass the level definitely wouldn't be any of his teammates.
If Xiao Zheng were his sister-in-law, the viewers in the live stream would definitely know that Xiao Zheng was by his side.
Did they just randomly pick a random passerby as an NPC when recording a variety show or program?
That's impossible.
He couldn't very well go and find a passerby to say—
"Hello, I'm Yan Xun. Would you like to date me?"
Are you waiting to be exposed by paparazzi and gossip accounts?
Besides, it's so obvious that Song Baiyuan wouldn't have failed to investigate.
Yan Xun suddenly wore a mask of anguish because he realized that once all other possibilities were ruled out, the least likely answer was probably the correct one.
"It seems there really aren't any normal people in our group," Yan Xun couldn't help but sigh.
Xiao Zheng, standing beside him, glanced at Yan Xun with a puzzled look.
Yan Xun waved his hand wearily.
He guessed who his sister-in-law was...
Jia Ye.
After eliminating all the wrong options, no matter how outrageous the answer was, Yan Xun could only believe that it was the choice he had made back then.
Meanwhile, the progress bar, which had been blank for a long time, finally started to move.
Main Quest: Who Has a Sister-in-Law? (Completed)
[Company player Yan Xun discovers that he's actually the one with his sister-in-law in SLNT! (surprised)]
[It's a pity your sister-in-law can't bear to part with you and doesn't want you to leave the instance (laughs)]
[Please keep trying and complete the hidden quest to clear the game and leave.]
Yan Xun: "……………………………………"
system:【……………………………………】
Live Stream Room——
【…………………………】
【…………………】
Wow, Emperor Yan is truly amazing...
[This sister-in-law is someone I can't mess with, I'm outta here :)]
The system crashed, the system went mad, and the system finally realized why they didn't leave the instance in the first round and were forced to activate Nightmare Mode.
[Host!!! Aa ...
Aaaaaaah! Yan Xun wants to find himself a sister-in-law, but why this one?! Aaaaaahhhhhh!
【No, which of your teammates is bad??】
Even if you don't want to be with your teammates, Xiao Zheng will make do; he's obedient enough.
The system really wanted to kill itself. When Yan Xun confidently told it that he had found his sister-in-law and that they could leave the instance, it should have asked a few more questions.
It knew that Yan Xun wouldn't complete the mission peacefully.
Now that's it, the system is completely disheartened; no wonder they couldn't leave the instance.
I'm completely trapped in this dungeon.
Yan Xun: "...Haha."
He wiped away non-existent cold sweat from his forehead and felt himself sweating profusely.
In that instant, he could even picture what he was thinking.
Most people feel awkward finding teammates, so it's better to find a stranger to date. Besides, who has ever heard of being responsible to evil spirits when dating?
Why doesn't he just leave after completing the task?
The live stream was left with only the laughing witch, who then gave some more gifts and left a string of "hahahahaha".
The witch certainly wouldn't give a reward rashly.
Yan Xun thought that the other party gave a reward because he was guessing the system's purpose and asking about how to revert the save file when it wasn't in the instance—this proved that the witch definitely knew the truth of the whole matter.
He found it amusing that the system was speechless and that he had touched upon part of the truth, which led him to give a tip.
Yan Xun had some suspicions in his mind, but he lacked sufficient evidence and couldn't afford to break ties with the system. He could only pretend to have forgotten about the previous topic and start thinking about how to complete the mission and leave the instance.
If he wasn't mistaken, the connection between several of his teammates and Jia Ye should be like this.
He Jinqiu needs no further explanation.
My childhood and the death of my parents were mostly related to Kaye.
Ning Xinian's resurrection was likely orchestrated by Jia Ye.
Mu Yuanming… Yan Xun thought for a moment. In his memory, Mu Yuanming was the so-called Golden Boy under the Bodhisattva Fairy. Logically speaking, he shouldn’t have any connection with Jia Ye.
However, the deaths of the other party's parents were suspicious, and were most likely related to Jia Ye.
In fact, Yan Xun had a guess in mind that combined elements from the movie.
But the truth was somewhat cruel, making Yan Xun hesitate—
He suspected that Mu Yuanming's parents, brother, and sister did not leave because of the instructions given by the Fairy Pugu, but because the other party used the power of Jiaye.
In the face of endless, near-despairing pain, he decided to use Jia Ye to carry out this revenge.
As for He Jingtang...
Yan Xun propped his head up and looked out the window of the van; the company building had already come into view.
Since there are believers in the Gaya tradition in this world, there should also be opponents.
He Jingtang was so familiar with Mu Yuanming's past, and when He Jingtang had tentatively inquired about it before, Mu Yuanming had shown his hatred for "charlatans".
Yan Xun thought for a moment, "Have any strange things happened at the company?"
