Chapter 4150 The truth
To Linton's surprise, Zhang Tuo, who had expected the system claiming to be Zhang Tuo, to produce a lot of incredible information, suddenly stared blankly at Linton after he asked the question.

Linton glanced at the other person's expression and felt that the other person seemed a little confused by what he had said, as if what he had said was completely unexpected and that he didn't know how to respond for a moment.

"No, what do you mean by this?" Linton couldn't help but say. "You first gave your own name, then mentioned the name of a woman you didn't know, and now you insist that I know her? Should I know her? Why would I know her?"

"..." Zhang Tuo on this side also remained silent.

"Then let me ask you, do you know me?" Linton asked again.

There was no response again. Zhang Tuo just looked at Lin Dun without saying anything.

This inexplicable silence was really getting on Linton's nerves.

I finally spent some time thinking about the other person's situation, and now I was just waiting to verify my guess. But at this crucial moment, the other person suddenly stopped talking. What does that mean? Are they messing with me?

"So, you're not Zhang Tuo at all, right?" Before Lin Dun could throw a tantrum, Aizen suddenly spoke up.

"Huh? Is that so?" Linton asked, looking at Aizen beside him.

"These ambiguous questions are just a way to extract information. What you want to know is about the investigation, isn't it?" Aizen continued speaking to the system that called itself Zhang Tuo.

“Since we’ve been discovered, well… there’s nothing we can do about it.” “Zhang Tuo” on the other end smiled and said, “That’s right, I’m just too curious about you investigators.”

"Before this, a man named Zhang Tuo found me possessing a statue. It was as if he knew beforehand that I was possessed. At first, I didn't respond, and he even tried to bind me to the system by dripping blood. After thinking about it, I did as he said and started playing the role of the system." System Xiao Hei said with a somewhat mocking expression.

"After spending time with this guy, I gradually realized that something was off about him," System Black continued. "He told me that if he hadn't found me first, I would have been found and activated by someone named Gu Shanjun, and then I would have helped him become the creator god of the new world..."

"Hehehehe... How is that possible?" At this point, the system Xiao Hei suddenly burst into laughter. "How could I possibly help someone become some kind of creator god? Even according to the plot that guy described, it should be me who possesses that person's body."

"So what you said before, that your first host was Koyama Shun and that Zhang Tuo killed him, was also false?" Aizen asked.

"That's not entirely true, because Zhang Tuo did kill Gu Shanjun, but... it was I who instigated it." This time, what System Xiao Hei said should be the truth, because it was quite fluent and detailed, unlike the previous brief summaries.

"So you've actually set your sights on Zhang Tuo, haven't you?" Aizen asked.

“Yes, this person… is very naive,” System Xiao Hei said. “I don’t know if it’s because I’m a system, but he seems to trust me quite a bit and is very easy to be honest with me. For example… about the investigators, about the world outside this world, and even about his girlfriend named Xu Yuan, who is also an investigator.”

“Oh, Xu Yuan is Zhang Tuo’s girlfriend,” Linton said. “So you asked me if I knew these two because you assumed we were both investigators and from the same organization, and therefore knew each other, right?”

"Really not?" System Xiao Hei said speechlessly. "Didn't you say that guy would tell you everything? You didn't even know this?" Linton facepalmed.

"That's why I said this guy is naive." System Xiao Hei was speechless in this regard; it desperately wanted to know about the investigation and vaguely sensed that this matter was not simple. But Zhang Tuo didn't take it seriously.

When the topic of exploration came up, Zhang Tuo didn't talk about the specifics of the exploration; instead, he talked more about discussing the future with Xu Yuan.

Because his initial exploration rank was very low, he could only act solo. Zhang Tuo expressed his desire to team up with his girlfriend so they could explore other worlds together. He also wanted to be promoted so that he could become a squad leader, allowing him to team up and explore with his girlfriend.

System Black gets so frustrated every time it hears this guy talking about these things. You're supposed to be someone who can travel between different worlds, and all you ever talk about is lovey-dovey nonsense. It's infuriating!

"Honestly, it's really hard for me to put up with this guy," said System Xiao Hei. "Besides, the identity of this investigator is so precious, I just couldn't resist. So, before I was even ready, I couldn't wait to make my move... and then..."

"So that guy went straight back after he died, right?" Linton said with a smile.

"I never expected it to turn out like this. I thought that by seizing his mind, I could take his place. But suddenly he and his body disappeared, and I lost my body again. Fortunately, the statue was still there. I used all my strength to return to the statue, almost exhausting all my power and nearly dissipating completely," said System Xiao Hei.

"So you've already been burned once, why do you still want me? Are you planning to tie me down the moment we meet?" Linton asked with a smile.

“When the temptation is great enough, taking risks is a must,” said System Xiao Hei.

"So, your goal now is still to become an explorer and escape this world?" Linton asked.

The system didn't reply, which was the best answer, it was the default.

"No, how dare you?" Linton rubbed his forehead and said, "You can't even handle a mere Zhang Tuo, and you're already eyeing me?"

"Do you know why I'm telling you everything now?" System Xiao Hei suddenly said.

"So... you think you're confident you can win me over?" Linton asked.

"I'm not sure about the outcome, but right now, I should be at my strongest," said the system, Xiao Hei. "I told you so much to buy some time, because... the power within my body is constantly flowing in."

"Uh... I understand." Linton thought for a moment and understood what System Xiao Hei meant. This thing was originally designed to absorb emotional energy, and look at the present, with hundreds of millions of viewers watching the live stream right now. What this guy said about a continuous influx of power is really true.

So what? Linton didn't even bother to stop him, and he wasn't even going to stop the live stream. He just wanted to see what this guy was so confident about.
