Chapter 211: Chapter 211- System and Shunya
[On o_O]
[Off O?_?o]
[On >?.?<]
[Off ^?_?^]
Inside an unknown place, the space shrouded in white light, lay a kneeling statue. Its head was bowed towards the ground, bound by a thousand chains gleaming in golden light.
These chains, shining in gold, bound its neck, arms, legs, and whole body, while the other end of chain was embedded on the floor, keeping the statue static in its position.
Yet, another beam of orange light, resembling a screen or window, hovered around the statue.
[Woah, it's really working Shunya]
The system sang of how it had finally gained control over the disability that had long suppressed it, as the full window turned toward the direction of the pillar.
?Can you leave now, evil system?? came a soft, childish yet whispered voice from the direction of the pillar, the metallic surface adorned with patterns while a silhouette seemed to peek from behind.
[Huh =?_?=]
[If I am evil, then what are you? My dad?]
?H-how presumptuous of you?, the voice trembled, hearing such false allegations from an intruder who refused to leave despite enduring continuous suppression for five months and more.
[Come outside and tell me the whole story], the System demanded, inquiring about the complexities of the tale it had been told after enduring relentless suppression from Shunya.
Regardless, it was evident that the System's existence was formidable enough for Shunya to completely nullify it.
So, from the System's perspective, if it couldn't be killed then it couldn't be conquered or forced to leave without completing its task.
?I told you daddy needed to be killed or else...?
Once more, the trembling childish voice emanated from behind the pillar, this time tinged with slight irritation at being asked the same question.
[So, you killed him in the previous life?] the System repeated the information provided by Shunya about how it had killed its host in previous life, in an accident caused by malfunctioning energy—electricity—within the traffic light and the vehicles surrounding it.
Technically, electricity and light are also forms of energy which provided Shunya—which wasn't under any influence of its host—ability to manipulate the surrounding energy and execute a clear accident.
?It was necessary! I told you already?
That childish voice again retaliated for being condemned for killing its father and being doubted by an evil system who tried to hijack Shunya's daddy.
[Hmm, Can you elaborate?]
System wasn't going to retreat without getting its answers, causing it to inquire about the reason for it to kill the system's present host in the previous life.
?It was due to brother, he is very evil?
That voice slightly trembled, though appearing like a girl child yet seemed to appear genuine enough.
Not that the system found it trustworthy, and at least definitely not after being treated like a slave for more than four months.
[Brother? Who?... Host?]
System inquired, not finding anyone more evil than that guy from its database.
?Father is not evil but brother?
[=?_?= So you were calling Host as a father for all this time?]
?Of course, you low IQ Evil System?
[Hey, you know right, I can.....tell me your weaknesses]
Indeed, the system initially wanted to threaten Shunya but changed its approach, realizing that there wasn't anything it could analyze until now that could give it the upper hand, as this ability was always throwing its access away.
So it directly asked without thinking much, since wouldn't it be easy to fool a child.
?I am not a low IQ Evil System to reveal my weakness?
The voice scoffed, hearing such a simple strategy used against it to fool Shunya into revealing its weakness, which Shunya would not fall for anytime soon.
[But aren't you the low IQ one too?]
The system, seeing how it was soon going to be declared a low IQ punk, directly threw the stone at that voice hiding behind that pillar.
?How is that possible? Isn't Shunya very smart?
That voice mockingly said while keeping the tone of a child curious to know the reason for being called dumb.
[Nah, you are not]
The system denied and further clarified.
[You even know that Host will hate you if he finds out that you were the one who killed him previously]
Naturally, the system was aware that if this information was given to Ryuk, then there were chances that he would try to find any way to get Shunya out of his body just like how he did with his bloodline.
?How will he find out though??
[Huh?]
[Kid, you can't kill me <?(???????)?>]
The system felt that the voice was threatening to erase the evidence, which was the system itself, but being already aware of the limitations that could not erase its existence, it reminded Shunya.
?But I can kill Father though?
[....and you call me evil]
?It's because you are evil who tried to take over father's body!?
[Idiot, it's better than killing him!]
Even though already dealt with many kids in its long journey, it was the first time the system encountered a psychopathic kid like this.
Of course, the system didn't literally suppose Shunya as a kid, but the voice was similar to that of a child, so for this split moment, it considered that Shunya was indeed a kid.
?But It was needed to escape from Brother!?
Shunya again protested with a clear shockwave emitting from behind the pillar.
[stop—ERROR!]
[Alert! External Force Detected...]
[System Defense Status: Compromised]
[Engaging Countermeasures...ERROR 345: SYSTEM OVERRIDE]
[Fuck! Not again!]
.
.
.
?Now go away evil system?
After an hour of one-sided bombardment, the voice from behind the pillar directed its attention towards the center, where an orange screen, broken from corners, displayed a red bold ERROR message.
[>>>Hey, weren't we friends a moment ago?]
?No, Shunya can never be an evil system's friend?
[Then why did you give me access to your passive ability controls?]
?You lied to me!?
[...So, did you really think I would stay in here for eternity, you dumb kid O?_?o]
System again doubted the authenticity of the IQ of this ability Shunya, which believed in the system's words of always remaining in this place and playing with Shunya.
Like hell it would remain beside a Psychopath.
?See! You are evil, liar, and a low IQ person?
[Kekeke, fine then, how about we play a game?]
?What game??
[Simple: You need to roll the dice I give you, and when doing so, every time one loses, the other will give a task to perform or ask a question. How about it?]
?Isn't this truth and dare, you low IQ System??
[....]
[Similar somewhat, but I invented it]
?Fine, you roll the dice?
With the deathwise, a small finger of complete white glow pointed towards the window of the system as a dice started to materialize before rolling up in the air and falling on the floor.
{2... 6}
[Fine, Now it's your chance]
System, without getting noticed by Shunya, turned the dice from 2 to 6.
?Fine, throw it for me?
The voice commanded, seeing how it could at least draw the first match.
Dice rolled again and fell on the floor.
{6... 2}
[tch, tch, bad luck kid, you lost this ^?_?^]
Without a hint of shame after cheating with a kid, system cheered for Shunya.
?I lost....fine, I will just kill the father and erase you so this defeat shall be buried in here?
[Huh? W-wait, psychopath!]
.
.
.
[So, what shall we do then?]
System's window, lazily lying down on the nearby floor beside that chained statue, inquired to the silhouette moving beside it.
Indeed, the system somewhat saved its host before Shunya could do something.
?Let me clear the statue first, you can play by yourself?
The silhouette, which appeared as a little girl in a frock but completely glowing white, used a piece of cloth to clear the dirt forming on the statue and the chains.
[....Fine, I will just play turn on and off again]
[On o_O]
[Off O?_?o]
[On >?.?<]
[Off ^?_?^]
Unaware of the results, this small play was on the outside body of its host, system kept playing.....
