The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World

Chapter 167 167 - System Intervention [Part 2]

?

After reading those messages which had just appeared in front of him, Aiden couldn't help but wonder how the others would react.

How will the system make them lose their memories about what had just happened?

Aiden couldn't even begin to understand how those sorts of things even worked. It couldn't even understand how the system had so much impact on another world which even had people as powerful as Li Feng.

This was simply mind-blowing to Aiden as he knew that it would be difficult for him to surpass this system which was basically controlling everything about his life.

No matter the actions he would take, the system could probably intervene and change them back since it had even rendered Aiden impossible to speak.

The system had basically decided that Aiden couldn't reveal any information about it, and then it had started a Trial Reset it seemed.

As Aiden started observing those around him, he noticed that all of them had their eyes closed at the moment.

'This system is just too powerful,' thought Aiden as this was incredible.

It could control everyone even those who didn't use the system, how was this even possible?

Then, everyone who had their eyes closed opened them right away, looking around them.

Some of them muttered different things, however, it was always the same sorts of things.

"Where am I?"

"What happened?"

"Why does my head hurt?"

Those were the questions which were the most recurrent and that Aiden had heard the most. It really seemed like they had lost any sort of memory about what just happened.

Aiden, on the other hand, didn't have time to worry about how they were reacting and "waking" up.

He still needed to figure out how to move that damn energy that was supposedly called Qi. He knew that the same scene would be repeating itself once again if Aiden wasn't able to fight.

That's why he was currently meditating, putting all of his concentrating into letting that gray energy leave those chains in his body.

Because he had gotten his pores and pathways opened, the energy seemed more willing to leave those chains, however, it seemed that there was still something missing as it was barely coming out.

Aiden then stopped trying to pull it out with his mind and started to think about what he could do.

The first thing that came to mind was to ask Wu Lan, however, he knew that such a thing wasn't possible or else the same scene would happen again and Aiden wasn't sure if the system would be helping him that time.

In fact, he still had no idea why the system had helped him because, honestly, for a moment Aiden thought that it was simply the end and that he would fail this trial.

It was just such a complicated situation that he didn't imagine getting out of it.

But, then he dismissed those thoughts as they weren't the most important right now.

Aiden needed to figure out how to release that gray energy from behind those chains which were located around his heart.

That was the thing that mattered the most as he needed to be able to fly before everyone regained their means.

Time was ticking and Aiden needed to act as fast as possible.

'Alright what can I do?' thought Aiden.

However, as much as he wanted to find a solution, it was incredibly hard as he had never seen that energy before once in his life.

He remembered how he had gotten used to using Mana, but that wasn't the same thing as Aiden had been able to use Mana easily. 

However, this thing that they called Qi wouldn't budge no matter how much mental strength Aiden would be investing in it.

Aiden wasn't sure what he could do, to make his system release.

But, then, as despair took over his body he thought of something.

He remembered that something had changed when Wu Lan hit his back as he had immediately seen a change in how the gray energy acted.

This was the biggest hint that Aiden currently had which was why he was concentrating his thoughts on it trying his best to figure it out.

'I need help, I simply can't do this alone,' thought Aiden, as he couldn't find a way to use Qi no matter how hard he was trying.

He knew that he couldn't let the others "wake" up before he learnt how to fly. 

It was important for him to find out what he needed to do.

Then, as despair started to take over his body, another beeping sound once again resounded inside his mind.

*BEEP*

Just hearing that beeping noise, made Aiden curse instantly as he was tired of constantly hearing it.

Nonetheless, it wasn't like he could change anything about it.

[Do you want the method to learn how to use Qi?]

Reading those words which had just appeared in front of him, Aiden was shocked as the system was once again offering its help to him.

However, Aiden wasn't duped. He knew that nothing was free in life and that this system was a bastard.

He knew that the system, especially, wasn't the type to give freebies. It just wasn't in its nature.

'What do you want?' asked Aiden inside his mind as he knew that he was about to receive an answer.

Then, a beeping sound once again resounded inside Aiden's head.

*BEEP*

'I fucking knew it, it was just too good to be true,' thought Aiden, hearing that sound.

[A deal.]

Aiden who had just read this was confused.

'What sort of deal?' thought Aiden as he remembered that he had once asked for a deal with the system at the beginning, however, he had been refused back then.

However, this time there was a little delay as it seemed that even the system was currently thinking or calculating the best possible deal.

Then, another beeping sound resounded inside Aiden's mind.

*BEEP*

It seemed that the system had finished preparing that deal.
