"Do you need to go? Sorry if I took too much time from you." Jin said and Ayse laughed.
"No problems at all. In fact, I would like to see how that Sei is taking it. Call it a guilty pleasure of mine."
"You are a sadist." Jin shook his spiritual head.
"And yet, you employed me." Ayse shrugged as she went in with the System Rider intact and Sei was there lying on the bed, now ego deflated and acknowledging that not everything could be solved with just a higher power chi.
"Heh. And you think that it is enough to kill Jin if you use enough powerful skills? You have been fighting against his monsters and not him yet. He might be suffering with his body being knocked left and right by you but if this System Riders dies, his Maqi is mostly preserved to fight with you too, well with a tattered body but he still can fight like a berserker."
"I do not know whether you are complimenting me, taunting her, or whatever." Jin eventually gave up trying to argue with Ayse. She probably has the right lines to counterattack him if she really wants to. "In any case, let me talk to Ryuli, would you?" Jin asked and Sei eventually conceded. While her appearance did not exactly change, the colour of her eyes did.

The Dragon Internal Security Agent said she already heard that part of the story but listened again did help with the processing of the information.
"So, you are saying you had been blessed by this System thingy. That is one thing I did not exactly understand."
"You never read any web s before? Like how there is this almighty super unnatural being with the powers of computing that could serve just one particular person and make him above average than the usual person?"
"Above average? The System felt somewhat offended." The System replied and Jin rolled his eyes.
"Well, most Systems don't usually have personalities. This one had one since they are apparently my ancestors as well."
"What the fuck?" Ryuli had trouble understanding.
"Well, if she had already signed the verbal contract, I do not think it hurts for her to know the history about us?" Jin asked.
"It will take too long if you explain it. Ask one of the Nurses to prepare a bowl for her so she can vomit." The System said but Jin already found one under her cabinet that was beside the bed.
"What is this for?"
"For precautions. Okay, System go ahead." Jin said and the rush of memory transfers was given to Ryuli. True enough, she vomited due to the excessive headache and nausea she got from receiving those memories.
"Thank goodness you only had tea previously…" Jin said as there was nothing but liquid within the vomit.
"I… get what you mean right now. So, in short. I am stuck in this predicament because of you?"
"That's… yea. Welcome to the family…?" Jin clapped slowly not knowing what her reaction would be and Ryuli did was to sigh.
"Well, at least I now figured out the twenty year long question that had been stuck in my head on who my 'master' really was. It's a surprise but still a decent surprise, I guess. At the very least you are at the side of good."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Erm… you can't exactly say we are the good guys… more like the grey guys?" Jin shrugged his shoulders slowly when he said the last portion.
"In my books, as long as you aid in killing the Banned Emperor Terrorists, you are the good guys," Ryuli commented. "The rest, I do not really care."
"Your definition of good is rather vague," Jin said and Ryuli did not care as she tried to stand up.
"But it looked like without Sei's help, I would not be this strong too. So, thank you."
"I am not sure whether you want to continue the current cultivation you are using or you wish to follow Sei's cultivation. That way you will have a better affinity with her and maybe her brother as well when he comes in." Jin realised that was another hurdle he had to go through.
Unlike now where he had the power of the System Rider and his monsters to aid him, there is no such help within his subconsciousness. He had to fight Ryuu with little to no chi as that had always been the way it is within his subconscious world.
But considering how he had been in Synthesis World solely on his subconscious, perhaps he had the chance to use his Grade 4 Cultivation powers as well? That was a question he needed to explore when he returned to that world again.
For now, Ryuli was able to understand what had been happening to her and the real identity of Jin. The Leader of the Royal Zodiac Clan also gave a heads up to Kong Rong and he literally 'loled' when Jin told him that Ryuli was within the System. In fact, he was extremely happy that she was within the System as he finally had a helper who understood his agendas and secrets. Not to mention, this also meant that Ryuli was definitely an ally and he did not need to worry about any backstabbing from her. (After all, in the game of spies, everyone is a liar.)
"I should treat you to a meal when I have the chance." Kong Rong replied but Jin did not want a meal, he had Lynn cook for him lots of delicious stuff in the future. "Give me free information instead or I don't know, get me good locations to buy and snatch up prime area to create another store of mine."
"Gah, this guy. Always take the chance to take advantage of me. Fine, fine. I see what I can do but it won't be so soon."
