Chapter 579 Severe Backlash

Seeing Lin Xiyue's current condition, the system standing to the side was extremely anxious.

Its round body has its signature beady eyes and tiny mouth almost squeezed together.

Seeing the situation becoming increasingly critical, the system rushed towards Lin Xiyue's brow without hesitation, completely disregarding the bloodstains covering her body.

It immediately transferred the energy it contained to her body through the point of contact between the two, so as to conduct a comprehensive and detailed physical examination of her.

"Phew... thank goodness, I still have a way! We can still solve this."

After the system quickly and thoroughly examined Lin Xiyue from head to toe, it finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Would you like to enter into a contract with me? If so, just blink gently."

Immediately afterwards, the system moved in front of Lin Xiyue's lifeless, dull eyes and asked her with an unusually serious and solemn expression.

As soon as he finished speaking, the system became very uneasy.

It nervously rubbed its short, thin hands, which looked like two black lines, while staring intently at Lin Xiyue's face, hoping that she would blink as it had said.

This is the only way to smoothly complete the contractual binding procedure between myself and her; it is necessary to go through this formality.

After all, only after successfully completing the binding can the system utilize the energy it contains and various precious and rare items and resources.

Only in this way can the system do its utmost to rescue Lin Xiyue and bring her back from danger.

It must be said that this method of having Lin Xiyue express her consent by blinking, thereby binding Lin Xiyue to the system, is truly a brilliant technique used by the system.

Because at this moment, Lin Xiyue had lost her self-awareness, like a lifeless puppet, completely unable to control her actions and thoughts.

All she could do was silently and passively accept the various information stimuli from the outside world.

But it is precisely this state that allows her to witness the complete picture of a memory that was buried deep in her heart when she looks at it now.

Time passed second by second, and finally, under the system's hopeful and eager gaze, Lin Xiyue's eyelids trembled slightly and she blinked slowly.

This subtle action, like a ray of dawn in the darkness, brought hope to the system.

The system, with its lightning-fast response, transformed into a dazzling beam of light the instant Lin Xiyue blinked, swiftly penetrating the depths of her mind.

Subsequently, it became closely connected with Lin Xiyue's soul, successfully achieving a binding.

With the binding process successfully completed, the system immediately launched a new round of comprehensive scanning, meticulously examining every detail of Lin Xiyue's body.

Next, the system began a tense and arduous large-scale project to repair Lin Xiyue's body.

In the initial stages, the system progressed exceptionally smoothly.

However, when the system began to process the most critical and complex areas of the brain, an unexpected situation suddenly arose.

At that time, Lin Xiyue's ability initially behaved very docilely and obediently. It cooperated closely with the energy entering the system without hesitation, working together to repair Lin Xiyue's constantly collapsing body.

However, when it comes to the brain, the most crucial and vital part of the body, the situation takes an unexpected turn.

At that moment, the originally obedient and submissive power within Lin Xiyue's body suddenly launched a fierce counterattack.

Suddenly, as if enraged, it launched a merciless attack on the system, attempting to devour the powerful energy contained within it in one fell swoop.

What's even more shocking is that this backlash is so ferocious that it not only tries to devour the system's energy but also attempts to devour Lin Xiyue's consciousness.

Faced with this sudden change, the system was completely caught off guard and was momentarily stunned.

It never expected to suffer such an attack and was thrown into extreme panic.

However, it was this sudden fright that caused problems with the system repair work.

At that moment, the system was startled, and its output capabilities instantly became chaotic.

Although the interruption lasted only a second, that brief moment caused Lin Xiyue's gradually improving condition to suddenly worsen, even becoming more severe than before.

[Aaaaaah! What do I do?! I'm going to die! I'm going to die! I'm going to die!! (((;???;)))]

The system was now closely connected to Lin Xiyue, so in her memory, she could clearly hear the system's anxious mutterings and its almost frantic, outbursts.

Now, little Lin Xiyue's health condition is getting more and more serious.

Not only was her skin cracked and bleeding, but more importantly, the surging energy within her was mercilessly backfiring on her.

Since she has completely lost consciousness, she is unable to control those violent and unruly energies with her own will and can only let them run rampant.

This ultimately triggered the terrifying phenomenon of the master being devoured.

The most striking change was that Lin Xiyue's amber eyes, which were originally as bright and dazzling as gemstones, were undergoing a subtle transformation.

Its iris color became increasingly pale, and in a short while it approached a silvery-white color.

This is the most dangerous sign. If her irises turn completely silver-white, it means that Lin Xiyue's mind has been completely captivated by her suddenly erupting supernatural power.

At that time, Lin Xiyue will no longer be herself and will become a puppet controlled by supernatural powers.

Faced with such a critical situation, the system did its best to mobilize its own energy to maintain Lin Xiyue's body and prevent it from collapsing, and racked its brains to figure out how to remedy the situation.

[Well, the situation is critical, this is the only way. Even if the chances of success are slim, it's better than waiting to die, right? Besides, I don't have enough energy to sustain the repair of the host's body for long, so I have to take a gamble.]

Thinking of this, the system finally sighed helplessly, speaking with a hint of self-abandonment.

I'm going to take you away from here now, so you'd better be prepared.

Yes, that's how it should be said. ...The rules clearly state that the host must be notified in advance before performing this type of operation.

Okay, I think I've now completed the notification process; there are no formalities involved.

After completing what it considered to be a flawless series of procedures, the system finally felt confident enough to begin its operation.

First, it carefully gathered most of the powerful energy used to protect Lin Xiyue's body. Then, at its fastest speed, before her body could completely collapse, it forcibly tore the energy and her soul out of her body.
