Chapter 352 - Gu Ze

Chapter 352 Gu Ze

After Tang Xia shouted at the abnormal system-assigned man, he did not respond. She thought that maybe she was too soft or too far away and he could not hear her at all.

For a moment, Tang Xia did not know if she should keep moving forward.

Tang Xia turned around and looked at the others. She immediately saw Mu Chengxuan looking at her nervously and full of worry. Tang Xia felt very sorry.

She then looked at her surroundings. Then, she decided to call everyone over to discuss countermeasures.

Hence, Tang Xia waved her hand and asked them to gather around her. Then, she kept an eye on the situation around her in case the abnormal system-assigned man suddenly lose control and cause harm to everyone.

Mu Chengxuan rushed over in a hurry. When he saw that Tang Xia was fine, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

When he was about to ask what had happened inside, Tang Xia interrupted him with a gesture, asking him to stay silent.

Tang Xia said in a low voice, “It’s nothing, I’m just worried that you guys will be worried while you’re staying there and I’m also afraid that you guys will run into danger, so I called you all over.”

Tang Xia looked back and said, “Did you guys notice that there was never another system-assigned man around this one?”

When Mu Chengxuan and the others heard this, they quickly surveyed their surroundings and realized that it was indeed the case. Hence, they nodded and waited for Tang Xia to continue speaking.

“The main reason why I asked you all to come here is that if something goes wrong, we can take care of each other. Otherwise, it would be much more dangerous if we all go on separate ways.”

Tang Xia thought for a while and continued to say, “How about this? You guys wait here and don’t make any noise. Get someone to keep watch outside. If anything goes wrong, quickly come back and notify us so that we can leave as soon as possible.”

“Let me do it. I’m alert and quick to react. I can complete this task.” Before Tang Xia could finish her sentence, Mu Chengxuan volunteered himself.

Mu Chengxuan did not want Tang Xia to take all the risks. Be it for the dignity or the responsibility of a man, Mu Chengxuan felt that he should take the initiative to step forward when needed.

Seeing Mu Chengxuan stand out on his own, Tang Xia did not say anything else and gave him a few reminders.

“You must be more careful. If something really goes wrong, you must inform me immediately.”

Mu Chengxuan nodded intensely as a response. After that, he walked towards the door to be a good sentinel and guard everyone’s back.

Tang Xia watched Mu Chengxuan walk to his “post” before making arrangements for the rest.

Tang Xia said to everyone seriously, “Just now I tested this abnormal system-assigned man but I found that something was not quite right. I’ll go and see what’s going on. Once I find something, it means that we have hope.”

“Then what are you going to do? Will it be too dangerous?” One of them asked.

Tang Xia felt everyone’s concern for her and was moved. Hence, she said, “I don’t know what will happen either. Because I’m unsure, I have to try. I might just succeed.”

While saying this, Tang Xia saw the ray of hope in everyone’s eyes. Hence, she whispered, “Remember, if anything happens later, don’t worry about me. Go find Mu Chengxuan and run away without looking back. You’ll be safe when you get back to the castle.”

“Then what about you?”

Tang Xia smiled and said, “No need to care about me. Don’t worry, I have my way.”

Actually, Tang Xia did not know what to do. However, she could not pull them back for her sake. Hence, she must tell them the plan for the worst-case scenario first so that they would not panic too much if something was to happen.

“Alright then, you take care of yourself. If you feel that something is wrong, you must run quickly.”

“Okay, don’t worry.” Tang Xia smiled.

After saying that, Tang Xia walked towards the abnormal system-assigned man.

Tang Xia’s instinct told her that this abnormal system-assigned man was called “Gu Ze”. But why did he ignore her just now, as if he did not hear her?

Tang Xia felt that this abnormal system-assigned man probably had his own self-consciousness. However, she did not know the reason why he lost a part of his memory and even a large part of his self-consciousness.

Tang Xia felt that this abnormal system-assigned man named Gu Ze must be the key to solving all the problems.

Hence, Tang Xia was unresigned and carefully searched for Gu Ze again. She wanted to know more details.

“Gu Ze, are you Gu Ze?” Tang Xia tried to strike up a conversation with him again.

Just like that, she asked three or four times continuously and got no response. Just when Tang Xia was very frustrated and about to give up, she suddenly heard someone talking. She turned around and saw ‘Gu Ze’ starting to talk.

“Gu Ze, I’m Gu Ze. Where is Mu Mu?”

Tang Xia was very shocked to receive a response from “Gu Ze”. She was surprised to find out that “Gu Ze” could communicate. Hence, she quickly asked probingly, “Do you know what happened in this world that caused it to become like this?”

However, this time around, she got his silence. This abnormal system-assigned man named “Gu Ze” had been staring intensely at the cake counter in the dessert shop without moving.

Tang Xia did not know what caused “Gu Ze” to lose his speech function. She could only examine everything about him carefully.

Suddenly, Tang Xia seemed to have thought of something. Hence, she could only ask cautiously again, “Gu Ze, who is Mu Mu?”

Who would have thought that “Gu Ze” would speak again! “Mu Mu, Mu Mu…” After he finished speaking, there was no more sound.

Tang Xia asked again. She had thought that ‘Gu Ze’ would tell her, but unexpectedly, he suddenly turned around, looked at her, and said to everyone, “Cake, Mu Mu loves to eat, you guys, no Mu Mu!”

After saying all this, he started to go crazy. He lost control of his actions and threw everything around him onto the floor. Then, when he saw Tang Xia in front of him, he started attacking her without saying anything else.

Tang Xia was taken aback by the sudden turn of events. She responded quickly and started defending herself. She quickly dodged his attacks in order to avoid getting hurt.

While dodging, Tang Xia shouted, “Quickly go! Don’t look back!”

When the rest of the people saw this, they were all so shocked and dumbfounded. After hearing Tang Xia’s voice, they then came back to their senses again.

They knew that what Tang Xia had said earlier, about asking them to escape and not care for her, was her trying to buy more time to help them escape further.

And later on, when she said that she had her own way to solve the problem, they were just words of comfort.

To be honest, everyone could tell how much Tang Xia had sacrificed. If they leave her behind at this life-and-death moment, without doubt, it would be equivalent to sending her to death.

How could they agree to such a thing?

As expected, Tang Xia became a little flustered after failing to dodge several attacks. There were a few times when she was barely able to avoid the attacks. Everyone knew that it was only a matter of time before Tang Xia lost.

Looking at how Tang Xia was protecting them by risking her life, everyone became determined to save her.

Hence, the rest of the team hurried forward to help Tang Xia. In no time, the dessert shop was in complete chaos. Everything was in disarray and the situation was so messy no one could see clearly what was going on.

Tang Xia understood that the most important thing now was for everyone to evacuate. This was not a problem that could be solved head-on. If the commotion becomes too big and alarms a big crowd of system-assigned men, it would be terrible.

None of them would be able to escape and they would not even have time to send out a signal for help. Or, even if they successfully called for help, they would not be able to wait until help finally arrives.

Tang Xia was very anxious right now. However, there was nothing she could do no matter how anxious she was. She could only shout loudly, “Don’t worry about me. Hurry up and leave. Get Mu Chengxuan and quickly go back to the castle. Tell Ye Yifan something happened here, don’t come looking for me.”

However, everyone just let Tang Xia shout and not a single one of them retreated.

“Tang Xia, we know your intentions, but we will not leave you alone. Save your strength to fight.”

Tang Xia glanced at everyone gratefully and said, “Okay, as long as we try our best, we will definitely be able to go back!”

Before Tang Xia could finish, Mu Chengxuan ran in. He froze from being shocked by the scene. It was not because he was afraid, but because he did not know why they started fighting.

When Tang Xia saw Mu Chengxuan, she thought that he was here to help her. Hence, she said angrily, “Mu Chengxuan, why did you come in suddenly? Didn’t we agree that it would be good for you to be on guard? If you are also like this, we don’t even have a sentinel. If something really happens, we won’t be able to get out for real! You have to get out now!”

After hearing Tang Xia’s words, Mu Chengxuan immediately came to his senses and joined in the fight with a bitter smile.

While fighting busily, he explained, “Tang Xia, we can’t leave already. I came in to tell you guys that we are about to be surrounded and should leave as soon as possible. But now it seems that none of us can get away.”

Tang Xia was also very shocked when she heard Mu Chengxuan’s words. This was because Tang Xia clearly remembered that the last time she was surrounded by a large group of system-assigned men was when she met this abnormal one. What was going on exactly?

“Mu Chengxuan, what’s the situation outside now? Do you know?” Tang Xia was not reconciled and asked.

“We can all see what’s going on outside, but I don’t know why they’re not coming in. Look outside if you don’t believe me.” While saying this, he pointed towards the window.

Tang Xia looked towards the direction he was pointing at and saw a dense concentration of system-assigned men. Tang Xia was shocked and felt devastated. However, no matter what, she could not give up now. She firmly believed that they could get out.

Did this “Gu Ze” call all those system-assigned men outside to come here?

Suddenly, a thought came to Tang Xia’s mind. Although she was shocked by her thought, she decided to give it a try because she thought it was feasible.

Meanwhile, when Tang Xia recalled how Gu Ze had turned crazy, she suddenly remembered something and then shouted loudly, “Gu Ze, Mu Mu is here!”
