Chapter 4148 Appearance
Although Soma Yukihira stated that he wanted to come and wasn't tricked, Linton felt that he was just being used as a pawn.

Now it seems that the possibility of the system Xiao Hei being on Yukihira Soma has greatly decreased. Linton feels that this guy was just tricked into coming here to test the situation.

In fact, Soma Yukihira did have a chance to kill Yusuke Takaoka just now. It's estimated that the system Xiao Hei sent him here not to fight him, but to find an opportunity to eliminate Yusuke Takaoka. After all, if that technique really spread, it would be too much of a blow to the system Xiao Hei.

Unexpectedly, Soma Yukihira completely disregarded the mission and instead saved Yusuke Takaoka. The system, Black, must be furious.

Even if they had actually killed Takaoka Yūnō, it wouldn't have made much difference, since Linton was already there and could decide who died. However, System Black didn't know this at the time. If it hadn't tricked Yukihira Soma into coming, Ashura could have killed Takaoka Yūnō directly, and System Black would probably have been overjoyed.

But now, well, the system Xiao Hei is definitely not laughing anymore.

"Is this what you call your mission?" Linton looked at Yukihira Soma, who was speechless for a long time, and spread his hands. "It seems that what I said before did cause you some misunderstanding, but it's no use saying it now."

Before Yukihira Soma could react, Linton waved his hand, and Yukihira Soma, who was still in mid-air, fell rapidly. In an instant, Linton pulled him in front of him and grabbed him by the neck with one hand.

Soma Yukihira was completely still in shock from what had just happened, and it was only when Linton suddenly grabbed his neck that he snapped out of it somewhat. Instinctively, he tried to grab Linton's hand that was choking him, but of course, that was obviously useless.

"Logically speaking, if the protagonist is in danger, someone should come to his rescue," Linton said calmly, holding Yukihira Soma in his arms, then looked around. "Who else?"

Silence reigned, broken only by Linton's voice. Although many people remained, most were still reeling from the earlier incident and stood frozen in place.

"Really not? Then I won't hold back." Linton said, immediately increasing the pressure on his hand. It would only take a moment to snap Yukihira Soma's neck.

However, at that very moment, sure enough, there was some movement.

Linton had previously experienced the so-called world will in the cultivation world, and he didn't know if the so-called world will also exist in this world. However, at this moment, Yukihira Soma, who was being held by Linton, underwent a change.

At that moment, an amazing light suddenly appeared on Soma Yukihira's body, and Linton could also feel a power gathering on his body.

Before Linton could figure out what kind of power this was, a gasp of surprise came from the side.

"System unbinding?"

Linton turned to look at the person who spoke. He didn't recognize him, but he knew that he was one of Takaoka Yuzuri's men.

The person who actually spoke was He Xinchangping. Obviously, he said this because he suddenly received a warning from his system.

Although his original goal was to unbind the system and prevent Linton from detecting him, he hadn't even started practicing his cultivation technique yet, and the system suddenly unbound him without warning—that's what made him shout out involuntarily.

Looking at Shimizu Ritsu next to him, he was relieved that he had collected enough points to exchange for healing items for Shimizu Ritsu, and he had already healed him.

Of course, "well treated" doesn't mean that Shimizu Ritsu's severed limbs regenerated; it just means that the bleeding was stopped and her life was saved.

Although he was still streaming, unfortunately, most of the viewers' attention was focused on a few main characters, such as Takaoka Yūnori, who had been the center of attention, and Ozaki Naomichi, who had just shone particularly brightly. His points weren't increasing very quickly; being able to collect enough healing items was already considered good. Now that the system had suddenly disconnected, all the unused points were simply wasted. That's why He Xinchangping was glad that he hadn't hesitated to exchange for the items earlier, otherwise they would all be wasted now.

This system is really unreliable.

When he shouted this, Linton immediately understood what was going on.

Actually, he didn't need to figure it out, because Aizen quickly appeared not far from him.

Logically speaking, in such a pretentious setting, Aizen wouldn't usually compete with Linton for the prize. So, although he came with Linton, Aizen never showed up.

But now he has appeared, of course, because he has finally captured the system entity he was looking for.

"The signals of the system holders we locked onto have all disappeared," Aizen said directly. "It's quite obvious what's going on..."

"System Xiao Hei's true form finally couldn't hold back and withdrew all its emotional energy, right?" Linton said, following Aizen's words.

“That’s right, he finally couldn’t hold back anymore,” Aizen said. “Of course, this also exposed his location.”

Aizen had been waiting for the other party to reclaim this emotional energy; if he dared to do so, his location would be instantly exposed. And now was the moment he had been waiting for.

Linton looked at Yukihira Soma in his hand and asked, "Is it him?"

Aizen didn't speak, but simply nodded slightly.

"Good heavens, it really is on the protagonist... Damn it, are you deliberately trying to slap me in the face? Luckily I didn't say it out loud." Linton said speechlessly. He had just suspected that the system Xiao Hei wasn't on the protagonist, and this was the first thing it did, which made Linton even angrier.

With a "crack," Linton didn't hold back. With a forceful snap of his right hand, he instantly broke Yukihira Soma's neck.

That's right, Linton was too lazy to wait for the other party to transform again or anything, so he just killed it directly.

Soma Yukihira's head tilted to the side, and his whole body went limp. However, before Linton could let go, his body immediately moved again, his head quickly straightened, and he even opened his eyes, staring blankly at Linton.

At this moment, Soma Yukihira's eyes clearly changed. They were no longer the clear yet foolish eyes of a typical Japanese male protagonist, but rather quite cold.

If someone who had just died suddenly opened their eyes and stared coldly at you, most people would probably be terrified. But Linton was clearly not an ordinary person; he calmly met the gaze of this newly resurrected corpse.

"We meet again, Blackie. I'm the one who gave you that name. You just left without even saying goodbye. That's a bit much." Linton could sense that the person controlling Yukihira Soma's body was the system Blackie, and greeted him with a smile.

"Don't call me by that name." The system, Xiao Hei, spoke up, its voice the same as when Linton had encountered it before. "I have my own name. Please call me... Zhang Tuo."
