This time, Lin Yang fell silent.

Being threatened is a truly unpleasant experience, especially since the other party is an invisible and intangible system that exists within one's own mind.

Lin Yang ground his back teeth together, making a grinding sound. "Of course, you are the system, Master System."

If you're so tough, don't hide in my head, okay?

Want to come out and fight?

"Host 001, please remember, you're here to participate in a revenge mission, not to whitewash a scumbag, OK? Go back to your original world, or stay and play with that scumbag forever, it's your choice. Think it over carefully, okay?" The system kept trying to persuade you, subtly shifting the topic.

"Going home, of course I'm going home. I was tricked into coming to this godforsaken place by you in the first place." Hearing this, Lin Yang instantly sobered up.

"That's more like it." The system nodded in satisfaction. "If you have any concerns, I have a suggestion for you."

"What trick?" Lin Yang asked.

"Think about it, you're not from this world to begin with, so just treat them as fake people, or as if you're having a dream, acting out a play or something. Anyway, once you return to your own world, they won't actually exist there, right?" After the system finished speaking, it secretly felt like a little genius.

Think about it carefully.

That seems to make sense?

Seeing that Lin Yang was wavering, the system pressed on, "Besides, you've asked me repeatedly whether Xu Chengzhi is a scumbag. In the memories I gave you of the original owner, there were no missing memories related to scumbags, right? Scumbags in the previous life were so good at pretending, how can you be sure that Xu Chengzhi's current state isn't a pretense?"

Oh right, I almost forgot!

The scumbag in the previous life was indeed very good at pretending. He deceived the original owner from beginning to end, and only revealed his true colors when the female lead was about to kick the bucket.

Lin Yang lowered her head and recalled the original owner's memories of the scumbag boyfriend, then nodded in agreement.

The system chuckled in the darkness, increasingly pleased with its own cleverness, believing it could easily trick Lin Yang with its silver tongue.

Indeed, how can a human compare to his flawless system?

Otherwise, why would the master dote on him so much?

"Host, have you thought this through? I'm really trying to persuade you with all my heart. If it were any other host, I would have already declared her mission a failure and made her accept the punishment!" The system almost got so caught up in the act that it almost became one with itself.

If I weren't afraid of being punished by my master, would I be so desperate to persuade you to continue doing the mission?

We should have sent you wherever you were supposed to go!

Lin Yang nodded, looking like she had been successfully brainwashed, "You're right, System! Home is the most important thing!"

The system nodded approvingly, looking like it had found a promising student. "That's right! If you listen to the system, there's hope of going home soon!"

This sentence even rhymes a little inexplicably!

"Well then, host, I wish you a successful mission! I'm going back to hibernation now. I hope that when we meet again, I will be the one informing you that the mission is complete." The system left these words, and the darkness slowly dissipated.

Lin Yang's unfocused pupils slowly regained their focus.

Once I got used to it, I could see that black vertical line again in my field of vision.

Her phone screen was still blank, displaying the editable text.

Tsk, why even bother posting on Weibo!

After being brainwashed and coming to her senses, Lin Yang exited the Weibo account, which hadn't been edited at all, and turned off the screen with her fingertip.

Lying in bed, I began to think about the remaining tasks.

How can one find evidence of an affair between Xu Chengzhi and Lu Xiangxi when they are completely unfamiliar with each other in this life?
