The bad value system is measuring values.

Chapter 107 The right choice

Gu Jinghe frantically dialed Qiao Xiao's number, but no one answered. This made him feel panicked, and his mind began to race with wild thoughts.

Just then, an unfamiliar public telephone rang, its ringing sound particularly jarring in the silent air.

Gu Jinghe hesitated for a moment before answering the phone. However, when he heard the hoarse voice on the other end, which sounded like it was being deliberately faked, he was completely stunned.

"She's at XX Bar right now. You'd better come over right away, or I can't guarantee her life!" These words struck Gu Jinghe like a bolt from the blue.

Although he knew in his heart that the phone call was most likely a scam, what if... what if it was all true?

If his negligence leads to irreparable consequences, he will forever blame himself and regret it.

After a brief moment of thought, Gu Jinghe decided he couldn't afford to take any chances. Without hesitation, he asked his advisor for leave and hurriedly headed towards XX Bar.

As he traveled, his mood grew heavier and heavier, and all sorts of terrifying scenes kept flashing through his mind.

Meanwhile, Qiao Xiao is going through a thrilling battle.

She was quick and agile, and in the blink of an eye, she successfully subdued the two people who were trying to harm her and retrieved her phone.

However, when she checked her phone, she was surprised to find that the SIM card that was originally inserted inside had disappeared.

Without the slightest hesitation, Qiao Xiao immediately turned and chased after them. She gripped the two men tightly by the neck and demanded sharply, "Where's my card? Tell me!"

Surprisingly, the taller and stronger man was the first to plead for him, stammering incoherently, "I...I...I really didn't take it! It was...it was him who took it!"

Meanwhile, his other accomplice, who was in cahoots with him, was completely bewildered and at a loss by this sudden turn of events.

Just then, as the unfortunate man was being severely punished by Qiao Xiao, a crisp gunshot pierced the air, followed by the piercing sirens of police cars.

Qiao Xiao acted decisively, immediately seeking a secluded place to hide. She no longer had time to worry about the phone card; after all, preserving her life was the most crucial thing.

However, unexpectedly, at this critical moment, a pop-up notification appeared from the system, displaying a line of striking text:

[The bar has been attacked by terrorists. Host, please choose the correct escape route in time.]

Seeing this, Qiao Xiao asked, "If my escape attempt fails, how far back will I be in time?"

The system quickly provided the answer: "It will revert to the current time period."

Hearing this, Qiao Xiao breathed a slight sigh of relief and decisively replied, "In that case, let's get started."

In the blink of an eye, Qiao Xiao forcefully shook off the two despicable guys and then sped away like an arrow.

Not long after, a fork in the road appeared ahead.

System: "Option 1 is on the left, and Option 2 is on the right. Please note that you must make an accurate judgment based on the current situation in order to make a more informed decision."

Qiao Xiao reacted extremely quickly, glancing at the situation on both sides like lightning.

On the left were two rooms, one wide open and the other tightly closed, blocking the end of the road completely.

Looking to the right, there's only one lonely room, and it ends at a bend.

Qiao Xiao answered without hesitation, "I choose the left!"

Before she finished speaking, her body had already involuntarily moved to the left.

Since she received no other prompts from the system, she had to choose between the two rooms herself. Relying on her own judgment, she went straight to the room with the door locked.

As soon as I stepped into the room, a strong, pungent smell of smoke hit me, making it almost impossible to breathe.

The entire room was filled with thick dust, as if one were in a state of chaos, instantly feeling as if swallowed by endless dust.

However, just as Qiao Xiao stepped into the house, the door behind her suddenly slammed shut with a sharp "snap".

System: "Unfortunately, your choice was flawed, ultimately leading to your death—suffocation."

Qiao Xiao couldn't help but exclaim in amazement: "Wow! Your design of omitting death is truly ingenious, allowing me to successfully avoid the terrible way of dying from suffocation."

System: "Backtracking..."

In an instant, time seemed to flow backward, and Qiao Xiao returned to the very beginning as if she had traveled through time and space.

The system posed another question to Qiao Xiao, offering several options for her to choose from.

This time, Qiao Xiao once again chose the left side without hesitation.

After all, there was another door she hadn't yet stepped through—that open door.

Just as she was about to step through the door, she suddenly heard a soft but unusually clear sound of footsteps.

Oh no! Did I mishear again?

Knowing something was wrong, Qiao Xiao immediately turned around and tried to escape.

But who could have predicted that fate would play such a cruel trick on people? As she turned around, she bumped right into the arms of a terrorist!

hateful!

System: "Unfortunately, your choice was flawed, ultimately leading to your death—being shot."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiao couldn't help but let out a cold laugh, a surge of uncontrollable irritation rising within her.

She casually picked up a few stray strands of hair and asked coldly, "So you can die anywhere, huh?"

This time, she rushed toward the room on her right with the determination to die. As soon as she opened the door, there was someone there. She quickly closed the door and then walked toward the only corner.

Damn it! There are still people here?!

She immediately elbowed the person, intending to knock them unconscious, but unexpectedly, the person turned out to be...

Qiao Xiao: "Ms. Nancy, what are you doing here?"

Nancy: "Oh my God, Joe! There's been a shooting here! I'm looking for my daughter!"

Qiao Xiao: "Your daughter?"

She pulled a photo out of her bag. "This is my daughter, Rosie. She's having a party with her friends, and I'm about to pick her up."

Qiao Xiao: "You should find a place to hide first. I'll find your daughter."

Nancy: "Joe! I know you can get away with it, but it's too dangerous. I can't let you take that risk."

This woman, who was still elegant and dignified despite her age, now looks haggard and has aged considerably in an instant.

Qiao Xiao: Whether she's a good person or a bad person, we can't let her stay here any longer, otherwise we'll both be dead.

She decisively offered her opinion: "Madam, let's leave here first. We'll only have a chance to find them if we survive."

Before Nancy could react, Qiao Xiao grabbed her arm tightly and forcibly took her away without saying a word.

Qiao Xiao: Okay, now that the story options are over, it means I won't die directly because of the wrong choice. Instead, I'll be able to fight them with all my might!

Qiao Xiao settled Nancy in a relatively safe place.

Nancy knew perfectly well what Qiao Xiao's purpose was in doing this. She cried out anxiously, "No, Qiao, I can't just sit here and wait to die. I have to go find my precious daughter!"

But she couldn't bring herself to be so heartless, and replied, "Then wait until the right time to come out; it's too dangerous now."

Nancy nodded and curled up in the corner.

Qiao Xiao was like a bloodthirsty beast. In an instant, her eyes shot out a bewitching and dazzling red light. Her originally delicate face was now twisted and deformed due to extreme excitement, as if every cell in her body was madly clamoring for killing and bloodshed.

"This is wonderful! It's been far too long since I've felt the thrill of killing. Today, I can finally do it openly and honestly..."

Just as she was immersed in her beautiful fantasy, a terrorist suddenly appeared in front of her.

This terrorist seemed like a bug in this world, staring blankly at Qiao Xiao without any reaction.

Seeing this, Qiao Xiao cursed inwardly, "Human robot!"

Immediately afterwards, she moved with lightning speed, pouncing forward like a nimble cheetah.

With lightning speed, she snatched the gun from the terrorist's hand and, without hesitation, kicked the still-stunned enemy hard against the wall.

Then, Qiao Xiao's lips curled up slightly, revealing a contemptuous smile, and she said softly, "Thank you for your generous gift, pathetic NPC."

Before she finished speaking, she pulled the trigger without hesitation and fired several shots at the body lying on the ground.

Instantly, crimson blood splattered everywhere, creating a gruesome scene, and the terrorist was completely killed by the dense barrage of bullets.

System notification: "Malfunction value increased."

Qiao Xiao's face was filled with excitement, "That evil value is too good to be true."

Like a war goddess, she received the bounty of death amidst hope and despair. Once again, she became the scythe of death, proving to death his authority and absolute rule.

The leader who organized the terrorist attack noticed something was wrong; he couldn't contact several people.

He cursed, "Damn it, no cops could have infiltrated. How could those incompetent cops have arrived so quickly?"

Unexpectedly, he received a call from his arch-enemy.

"What is it?" he asked irritably.

"Operation canceled; target identified."

He didn't treat the others as brothers; they were merely his underlings. He had no idea how many of his men had died, but he knew perfectly well that if he returned with heavy losses, he would face severe punishment and questioning.

"Okay, got it."
