Chapter 473: Chapter 473: This system looks a bit like a turtle
Scarlett Jennings stared intently at the small turtle in Isria Jennings’s hand, her expression sowhat complicated for a mont.
Lucas Jennings and Alicia Sharp had already rushed into the barrier, making a move to take Isria out. Facing Scarlett’s gaze, they suddenly felt a bit nervous,
“Sis, is sothing wrong?”
“Scarlett? What about that Evil God System? Is it over?”
They couldn’t see the system’s existence, so they cautiously asked, only to see Scarlett shake her head solemnly, then lift her hand to point at Isria.
Their hearts instantly raced, nearly holding their breath, as they heard Scarlett speak with a subtle tone, pointing at the turtle in Isria’s hand,
“It’s inside that turtle.”
Isria looked bewilderedly down, not understanding what Scarlett was talking about.
Lucas and Alicia, however, caught on imdiately, their eyes widening as they looked at the Wood Pattern Turtle in Isria’s hand.
The next second, Lucas reached out and swiftly slapped the turtle from Isria’s hand, while Alicia quickly picked up Isria, retreating while kicking the turtle on the ground far away.
The two of them, along with Isria, retreated outside the barrier almost instantly.
At first, Isria pouted, about to cry when her little cousin knocked away her turtle, but suddenly being picked up and running off, seeing Lucas and Alicia’s serious expressions, she beca confused.
Not understanding, she decided to wait and see before deciding whether to cry.
Scarlett watched as the group swiftly retreated, holding her Peach Wood Sword decisively against the turtle that had been kicked and couldn’t turn over by her feet.
The turtle scrambled with its limbs, struggling in vain.
Looking down at it, Scarlett asked, “Are you coming out on your own, or should I force you out?”
The little turtle strained its neck to look at her, but the system inside showed no intention of erging.
Seeing this, Scarlett intended to take action herself, but the next mont, it seed as if she heard the system’s voice in her mind.
[I can’t co out, please don’t kill !]
Startled, Scarlett looked at the turtle still struggling thoughtlessly under the Peach Wood Sword, frowning slightly,
“You can infiltrate my consciousness too?”
The system replied,
[My energy is nearly gone, I can only communicate with you through the energy of my subsystem on your wooden sword.]
It seed worried that if it spoke too much, the human before it would impatiently drain its last bit of energy, directly offering its terms.
[I can’t do anything now, but if you keep , I can tell you a secret. Otherwise, without , that girl nad Alicia Sharp will vanish too.]
The system quickly divulged a secret. Scarlett’s eyes narrowed upon hearing it, instinctively looking towards Alicia holding Isria outside the barrier.
After a long mont, she slowly withdrew the Peach Wood Sword pressed against the turtle’s belly.
Even so, the little turtle remained helplessly unable to flip over.
But the system inside the turtle secretly sighed in relief.
Good, Scarlett Jennings believed its words.
As long as she believed it, it could retain this last sliver of energy.
Though it couldn’t do much now, given ti to regain its fortune, its energy could return!
Binding unintentionally to the little turtle was nothing, once it recovered a bit of energy, it could easily change turtle hosts!
With this in mind, Scarlett suddenly bent down, flipping the turtle over, and swiftly drew a Spirit Talisman in the air.
The next second, the talisman struck the little turtle, and its rune slowly seeped into the shell.
Then, she said coldly,
“Until I confirm you’re telling the truth, you’ll stay inside this turtle.”
System: ?!!
She actually used a talisman to forcibly seal it inside this little turtle!
Even if its energy replenished, it couldn’t escape now!
Sneaky!
How could there be such a sneaky human?!
The system was so furious it almost couldn’t maintain its settings, starting to lash out in dissatisfaction.
However, Scarlett couldn’t hear its insults without the Peach Wood Sword in hand.
After adding another sealing talisman on the shell to ensure the system couldn’t escape even if its energy restored, she then removed the barrier and picked up the turtle from the ground.
…
Half an hour later.
The Jennings Family, who had been preparing to head out individually, were once again gathered by Scarlett in the study. A group stood around the coffee table, looking at a slow-moving Wood Pattern Turtle on a plate.
“Scarlett, you’re saying, this is that… system??”
“The system actually looks like this?”
“Mm, kind of resembles a turtle.”
Donovan Jennings’s family and Adam Jennings exchanged remarks, clearly curious about the so-called system.
As a key observer of the entire event, Lucas quickly corrected his clueless father.
“Dad! This is just a turtle, but inside this turtle, my sister sealed that system! The system doesn’t look like a turtle!”
Flora Xalvadora listened to her son’s words and couldn’t help but pat her chest,
“I told you… Azura Loomis couldn’t have just stuffed a turtle in her brain, that would be too scary.”
Compared to Azura having the system, the idea that the system looked like a turtle was even more unbelievable to them.
Scarlett recounted how the system went to Alicia and was unexpectedly transferred to Isria’s turtle.
Mainly to reassure the family.
At least, they temporarily didn’t have to worry about the system returning to Azura Loomis.
As for the secret the system revealed about Alicia, Scarlett didn’t plan to tell them.
Old Mrs. Jennings, listening by the side, suddenly asked instinctively,
“Since this system has been caught, can we cancel the bounty on Azura… Loomis?”
After the old lady’s words, there was a mont of silence among the people present.
Scarlett didn’t speak.
Lucas seed disgruntled, wanting to speak but was preemptively stopped by Flora Xalvadora.
Finally, Donovan smiled and replied,
“Grandmother, once a bounty order is issued on the dark web, it can’t be withdrawn.”
Unless the person is caught, or they’re dead.
Old Mrs. Jennings seed to want to say more, but Old Sir Jiang interjected,
“This matter has already been decided, it won’t change, so you need not speak further.”
With Old Sir Jiang’s authoritative suppression, the old lady opened her mouth but ultimately said nothing.
Michael Jennings, next to her, wasn’t concerned about Azura Loomis’s bounty but more about the item before them.
Although Scarlett claid the system was sealed inside the turtle, who knew if it might accidentally escape, potentially bringing misfortune to the family with prolonged exposure?
With this thought, he turned to Scarlett with a serious expression, half-reproachful half-commanding,
“Scarlett, hurry up and deal with this turtle! This thing can’t stay in our house. Given how dangerous you know the system is, how could you bring it here to show everyone?”
