Chapter 156 Resentment

Si Jue glared at him, as if to say, "Do I need it to remind me?"

The mainframe wasn't annoyed by the glare; the tiny thing, no bigger than a palm, crossed its arms and looked on with a smug expression.

[You, having lived for so many years, traversing countless dimensions every day, what kind of woman haven't you seen? How could you actually fall for a woman, and not only that, you completely succumb to her charms, only to be utterly despised by her? If I weren't following you around every day, I'd believe you were cursed!]

Si Jue sighed helplessly.

If he had known this day would come, he wouldn't have bothered with all the mystery when they first met. As a result, he was treated like a wolf every time they met.

"Alright, it's my own business if I fall for her, and she has the right to refuse to talk to me."

Yes, I feel a bit tightness in my chest.

[Okay, you Casanova, you're the boss, you're right. Are we still going to do the task?]

Si Jue gritted his teeth. He would do it. How could he not do it! If he dared to shirk his responsibilities, the mastermind would dare to harass that old lady. At that time, it might not be as simple as just getting beaten up.

[Raise her security level and let that mentally challenged kid protect her!]

The mastermind rolled his eyes inelegantly. "Look at how worthless he is," he thought. "I really want to write a short essay and send it to management so that his subordinates, who treat him like mice before a cat, can see what kind of sycophant their boss is."

"This is peacetime! Who can hurt a high-level superhuman like her? Don't go too far!"

Can security levels be increased at will?

Recently, the newspapers have been filled with "a hundred flowers blooming and a hundred schools of thought contending".

International news headlines dominated half the newspaper pages with banners and enormous titles that were quite alarming.

"All banks in a certain country were robbed overnight..."

Riots broke out in a certain country, and grain vanished overnight.

Is the alleged insult to a high-ranking general of a certain country a sign of moral decay or a distortion of humanity?

A series of explosions have occurred in the Southern Vietnamese Kingdom, causing extensive damage to important facilities. An economics professor predicts that the national economy will regress by fifteen years, and border defenses will face increased pressure. Will the enemy withdraw their troops and turn back to provide support?

Gu Zuozuo had long since returned to her fair and delicate appearance, and she sneered as she held the newspaper in her hand.

She had achieved her goal; what did it matter to her what became of the rest of them?

His eyes were fixed on the newspaper, but his thoughts seemed to have wandered off somewhere else, and he looked dazed.

I've been in this world for almost ten years now, and people have come and gone, left and returned.

Her former friends have all started their own families, with husbands and children, but she seems to have always been all alone.

[Host, you still have me!]

The system, which had just emerged from its "dark room" state while dragging a small stool, heard its host muttering to itself and couldn't help but offer a word of comfort.

Gu Zuozuo raised the corners of her eyebrows, her expression a half-smile.

"Is the one without points possible?"

[That won't do! Feelings are feelings, and points are points! You're the host; you can't bully your own leader!]

Gu Zuozuo chuckled, the sadness that had inexplicably risen just moments before vanishing completely.

Never mind, the world is vast and boundless.

With Tong by her side, where could she not go? Where was she forbidden to go?

After exhaling a long breath, Gu Zuozuo felt much more relaxed.

She threw away the melancholy that Si Jue had brought her, and without worries, she was once again the self-centered and idealistic Gu Zuozuo.

She doesn't believe in love, nor does she believe in men.
