Chapter 46 Pretending I've Been Reborn Too A True Reborn Person: Heaven's Justice is Unfair...

Are you alright?

The first thing the viewers who rushed to Yin Chou's live stream heard was Si Qi's questioning words and his outstretched hand.

"I...I'm fine..."

Yin Chou collapsed to the ground, his face pale. Seeing his arm half-raised in the air to protect his head, and the monstrous corpse lying before him, the audience immediately recalled the scene from not long ago when Yin Chou was attacked by the monster, and Si Qi killed the monster with his sword, rescuing Yin Chou.

"??? So Si Qi actually saved Yin Chou's life back then?! What kind of heartless bastard is Yin Chou?!"

"I thought Yin Chou's actions had already crossed the line, but I never expected him to be even more despicable."

"You didn't see what happened before. The ten warriors entered the dungeon and chose their own classes. Si Qi was decisive and was the first to step forward to choose a token. The other warriors were influenced by him and stepped forward one after another. Yin Chou hid at the back, hesitant and afraid of danger. He only went over to get his token after everyone had taken it and made sure nothing was wrong."

"So that's where Yin Chou's earlier boast that I was the real warrior and that I was just taking back what was rightfully mine came from?"

"Nine people chose their professions first, but Yin Chou insisted that Si Qi stole his warrior identity. Well, well, his logic is impeccable!"

"Even I laughed at it."

"So he was deliberately targeting Si Qi, otherwise there were four warriors present, why would he deliberately leave the priest class for Si Qi, so that Si Qi could switch with him?"

"Everyone knows Si Qi has the talent to be a warrior, yet they still want him to change professions. Isn't that intentional?"

"I'm so angry! How could Yin Chou be so vicious!"

"What's even more insidious is yet to come. Didn't Si Qi say that he had been clearing the dungeon with an SS rating and everyone surviving since the first dungeon? That means that many of the heroes who died in the real world didn't actually die in this timeline."

"Oh my god, I can't even imagine how heartbroken the families and friends of those heroes would be if they saw this..."

"I'm afraid he'd even want to kill Yin Chou."

As everyone expected, Si Qi's reliability and natural ability to convince his teammates in the dungeon made the team members, who were initially panicked upon entering the dungeon, quickly calm down under Si Qi's guidance and began to follow the system's instructions step by step to solve the challenges.

Although everyone was a newbie who had just awakened their professional skills and was facing a bizarre and terrifying monster for the first time, with Si Qizhu leading the way and proving with his actions that the monster was not invincible, the team members gradually mustered their courage and followed his example, rushing forward.

Yin Chou, a priest, stood there bewildered, completely clueless about what he could do. His class was practically useless at killing monsters, and expecting him to overcome his fear and heal his teammates was wishful thinking. He spent the entire time dodging attacks and protecting himself. Hearing his teammates' exasperated complaints, "At least do something!", he wiped away his tears and cried, "It's not like I wanted to! I don't even have a single attack skill! What a terrible class I am!"

Everyone was speechless, wanting to say that even without offensive skills, he could still heal everyone. But Yin Chou was clearly emotional, hysterically cursing the world because of his own crisis, accusing it of being unfair to him, saying how pitiful he was, and why he had to suffer the same fate as everyone else. He even turned the tables on his profession, saying it was something everyone else had rejected, and blaming everyone for giving him the worst priest profession.

As people listened, they gradually lost the desire to communicate with him and began to become impatient.

They were already upset enough about what was going on, and then they had to listen to the guy who had been slacking off the whole time complaining and saying that the people who had put in the effort were no good. How could they stand it?

Everyone treated Yin Chou as if he were invisible, and when they heard him grumbling and complaining, they would angrily tell him to shut up.

Yin Chou felt wronged and pained, and became increasingly convinced that everyone was indeed working together against him. After taking the benefits, they ostracized him, the one who had suffered a loss, and wouldn't even let him speak.

That is, when Si Qi (the original owner) realized the function of the red bottle, he thought of his sick mother and guessed that it might be helpful to the patient. He began to change his aversion to the dungeon and considered whether he could take advantage of this "opportunity".

After that, he became even more ferocious in killing monsters. What others saw as danger were all walking experience packs and his mother's healing potions to him; he didn't want to let any of them go. To outsiders, this behavior made him seem responsible, taking on more danger for his teammates, and a truly great person.

The reason he repeatedly saved Yin Chou was for the same reason: he couldn't bear to let go of that monster that was facing away from him and could be killed with a single backstab, which would give him a huge experience bonus. So he directly attacked and killed the monster, and also saved the priest. After all, if the red potions ran out, the priest would be the only one who could heal everyone. It would be best if he didn't die.

Unlike the original owner, everyone else didn't think as much. They just felt that Si Qi was a very generous person, willing to save even someone like Yin Chou, and after saving him, he kindly asked him, "Are you alright?"

What else could this be but a living bodhisattva who saves people from suffering?

Unfortunately, Si Qi rescued an oddball who, after gaining some benefits, took advantage of the situation to climb the social ladder.

Yin Chou ignored all the other teammates who had conflicts with him, but he stuck with Si Qi, who seemed to have the best personality, the best temper, and the best strength.

He asserted that this was something Si Qi owed him, because Si Qi had chosen the professional token first, and he had taken the best one!

No one could understand Yin Chou's logic. The more they thought about it, the more they felt that this guy was crazy—who knew what profession was written on the back of the token before it was turned over?

The original owner also realized that this guy was mentally unstable, and after that, she completely ignored Yin Chou and refused to speak to him. This became the initial reason why Yin Chou resented the original owner and thought that the original owner was a hypocrite.

Under the original owner's guidance, the dungeon was cleared without any major incidents. Because the original owner obtained the only SS rating in the world at that time, his name quickly stood out in a series of media reports and became a sensation across the entire internet.

It was as if it were the first clarion call to symbolize the rise of a hero. After that, Si Qi's rise to fame was faster than a rocket.

Unlike those around him who were hesitant and fearful about facing the dungeon, Si Qi was particularly enthusiastic about entering it.

Considering his successful career and status as a true winner in life, as well as his willingness to be at the forefront and always do his best to help his fellow dungeon members survive—everyone thought he was a super saint, a savior sent by God to this troubled world.

With his strong abilities, good looks, and calm and reliable personality, Si Qi became an idol worshipped by the entire nation and a top-tier powerhouse known to everyone both at home and abroad.

The people inside the instance were overjoyed and excited by Si Qi's appearance, but the viewers watching the live stream outside the instance were gloomy and felt like their lungs were about to explode.

"Si Qi could have been so dazzling, leading everyone to solve the dungeon from the very beginning, providing everyone with powerful guidance. But then that piece of trash Yin Chou! He actually reincarnated! He even abused Si Qi and incited public opinion to launch cyberbullying against Si Qi! This... this... this bastard... this... this... this bastard!!!"

"I would like to ask, does killing Yin Chou count as bringing glory to the country and eliminating a scourge for the people?"

"For the first time in my life, I so genuinely wanted someone to die."

"Damn it, every single one of those dungeons had everyone alive! Everyone alive!! The more I think about those who died, the angrier I get, my eyes are practically red!!"

"If I could be reborn, I would definitely kill Yin Chou first, and then risk my life to protect Si Qi."

"Who wouldn't? This is a hero who killed the evil god and saved all of humanity! How could anyone bear to let him get hurt!"

Since Si Qi's rebirth, every word he has spoken has been true. Everyone firmly believes that Si Qi will kill the evil god and save the planet in the future, and their worship of him has instantly risen to an unprecedented level.

Frustration and hopelessness are all jokes—they are Siqi!

The morale, which had almost slumped, was quickly boosted by the live broadcast, much to the delight of the officials, who knew there was no better or more powerful way to encourage the team.

The scene continued, and everyone watched with great anticipation, filled with admiration for Si Qi.

They witnessed Si Qi's undefeated record, his meteoric rise to become an idol for all humanity, and the widespread discussion about him on the streets. They saw people enthusiastically expressing their admiration for Si Qi and praising his immense power.

It seems that public opinion around the world is revolving around Si Qi.

This pleases the fanatical worshippers, but torments the dark and resentful.

"You and Si Qi entered the instance at the same time, right? How come he became the savior of all mankind, while you're still such a useless piece of trash?"

"An illegitimate child is indeed an illegitimate child, utterly unfit for respect. Even though he had contact with the savior and was saved by him, he didn't learn a single thing about manners."

"It's such a waste to use that profession token on you. So many ordinary people yearn to enter the dungeon but don't even have the chance, yet you hide at home all day, afraid to even leave the house. What? Are you afraid of entering the occupied zone? Aren't you a priest? How can you be worse than those ordinary people who dare to rush in to save people?"

“You are no match for Si Qi at all. He is the same age as you, but he is successful and in the spotlight. What about you? You are just a rat in the gutter.”

It seems that they discovered Yin Chou's jealousy towards Si Qi. Whenever Si Qi's name was mentioned, Yin Chou would immediately break down, and those around him who disliked him would use Si Qi's name to harass Yin Chou.

Those who admired Si Qi found it even more intolerable. People who had been saved by Si Qi dared to turn around and resent him, and even those who had no grudge against him treated him with extreme indifference.

Yin Chou was already biased in his thinking, and the psychological rejection he felt after being criticized and ridiculed made him more prone to getting stuck in a rut. The more he recalled the scenes in the dungeon, the more he believed that if others hadn't taken his good class from him, he wouldn't have awakened to become the most useless priest.

If he weren't a priest and had even a little bit of offensive ability, he wouldn't have developed a psychological trauma from the dungeon and be afraid to enter it.

If he and Si Qi had the same starting point, he should have been able to rise quickly ahead of everyone else when the first wave of dungeons appeared, just like Si Qi.

If Si Qi can do it, why can't he?

Si Qi must have stolen his warrior class token. There must be some secret in that token, otherwise other warriors wouldn't be this powerful, but Si Qi is different.

It all comes down to that token from back then!

People who make mistakes always like to find excuses to shirk responsibility, believing it's someone else's fault. The more Yin Chou refused to admit his cowardice and incompetence, and the more afraid he was to enter the dungeon, the more convinced he became that it was his profession that was the problem, and that someone else had stolen his opportunity.

If he were a warrior, he certainly wouldn't be like this now; he would even act more bravely than Si Qi!

If Si Qi hadn't taken his things, he would have been standing in that spotlight, worshipped by everyone!

Unfortunately, he was framed by Si Qi and missed the best opportunity, which allowed the thief to rise to power and deceive everyone into being fooled by this despicable person!

She wasn't the only one with this kind of thinking; the world is so big, there will always be a lot of oddballs. Those professional trolls who would pick on anything online for no reason became Yin Chou's best confidants at the time.

Hearing Yin Chou's accusations, they felt immense sympathy for him, saying that Si Qi wasn't as amazing as everyone claimed. His outstanding performance was merely due to the entertainment company's packaging, and he actually had no real talent. They said that if they had been among the first to awaken, they would definitely have been even more awesome than Si Qi.

Yin Chou chatted with them every day, becoming more and more engrossed and confident—the whole world had been deceived by Si Qi, and only they held the final truth!

Although this group of people were quickly summoned for questioning for spreading rumors and defaming celebrities, and suddenly became more sensible, understanding that heroes cannot be slandered, Yin Chou's father did not want the Yin family's image to be tarnished, so he managed to protect Yin Chou and prevent him from going to the police station for education.

This strengthened Yin Chou's resolve, who had escaped death, making him feel like a lone hero who had stood alone against oppression, and he was deeply proud of his own character.

The moment the evil god was slain by Si Qi, viewers both on and off screen cheered, cried, and shouted loudly.

Only Yin Chou shook his head with a sigh of regret, lamenting that things could not be changed and that the villains had ultimately succeeded, allowing the world to fall into the clutches of charlatans.

Just then, the evil god's last vestige of power was about to dissipate on Blue Star. It sensed someone's reluctance and regret at its death, and felt this person's resentment and dissatisfaction towards Si Qi. Using its last bit of energy, it bound itself to Yin Chou, took him as a believer, and asked him if he wanted to change everything.

He was overjoyed and shouted "I do!" at the void above his head.

The viewers outside the live stream were ashen-faced, clearly realizing something from Yin Chou's performance.

Sure enough, the next second, time and space shifted, and Yin Chou returned to the familiar yet unfamiliar room.

He rushed over, turned on his phone screen, saw the time displayed, and burst into laughter.

After that, he sent people to investigate Si Qi's identity, set a trap for Si Qi's company, caused Si Qi to be exhausted by his mother's illness and his company to go bankrupt, and forced Si Qi, who was burdened with debt and unable to afford medical expenses, to sign a contract of servitude...

The audience clenched their fists, wishing they could rush into the screen and beat this scoundrel to death.

They watched helplessly as their hero was humiliated, as their savior had his class token stolen, was repeatedly suppressed in dungeons, and was cursed by public opinion...

Many people lost control of their emotions and watched the whole thing with tears in their eyes. Even though they knew it was all over, they still couldn't bear to recall the suffering Si Qi had endured.

Why? Why? He's clearly a benefactor to all of humanity, so why does he have to suffer all this?!

Many people wished they could take Si Qi's place and bear so much suffering for him, and they regretted not standing up for Si Qi back then.

Many people typed through tears: "His loved one was seriously ill, his career was ruined, his own life was threatened, and he was being condemned by everyone! It's so tragic. How did he manage to get through it all?"

"When I first learned about Si Qi, he was already very powerful. I only saw his strength and took his past experiences as proof of a hero's fearlessness. I had no idea how much pain he was going through back then."

"I thought Si Qi's counterattack against Yin Chou was so forceful that this matter hadn't affected him much at all—but how could that be?"

"The judge was too lenient in sentencing. This could easily be considered treason. Yin Chou betrayed all of humanity; he almost extinguished our hope of fighting back against the evil god!"

"We strongly demand a retrial!"

"I don't understand the reason for letting this person continue to live. Aren't his actions enough to prove how harmful he is? How many people has he directly or indirectly killed since his rebirth? Why should he be allowed to live when others have died? How are the families of the deceased supposed to feel about this!"

Online comments targeting Yin Chou were rampant. Even the few remaining fans who were willing to speak up for Yin Chou were controlled by their parents, who pointed their fingers at them and cursed, "Try speaking to that person again, do you want us to be killed by him too!"

And so the last remaining resistance vanished.

As the saying goes, "When a wall falls, everyone pushes it down," and while everyone was extremely confident of victory, they gradually became zero-tolerance towards Yin Chou and the other culprits.

The more people love Si Qi, the more they hate those who have hurt him.

One of the original owner's wishes was thus successfully fulfilled.

Si Qi and the official team's goal of encouraging everyone has been successfully achieved.

This challenge, which involved recalling all the heroes' memories, was quickly discovered and solved by Si Qi because of the 'flaw' that Chu Feng hadn't confessed to Si Qi before his death.

The other teammates, who were trapped in the illusionary level and almost fell into a strange trap, were all still shaken, exclaiming that the dungeon was becoming increasingly bizarre and impossible to guard against.

Only Chu Feng's expression showed a hint of regret.

Viewers who watched his perspective jokingly commented, "He almost married Si Qi."

"You've already walked to the marriage registration office, but when you're signing the papers, you're suddenly brought back to reality. How can you not feel regret?"

"If it were me, I would definitely be willing to continue dreaming, at least until after the wedding before leaving."

"What?! You're willing to leave after marrying Si Qi?!"

"Forehead……"

Everyone chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere quickly became lively again as Si Qi and his group successfully overcame the obstacle.

Many people realized that Si Qi had deliberately brought Yin Chou into this instance, understood Si Qi's good intentions, and sighed that he always brought hope to everyone, no matter what.

The dungeon was quickly and perfectly cleared under Si Qi's guidance.

As a result, public opinion has surged to unprecedented levels. People are more confident about the future, and adventurers are even more motivated to conquer new challenges.

Only Si's mother looked at Si Qi as he returned home, wiping away tears with sadness: "I didn't know you suffered so much... You went into the dungeon for my sake..."

Others have a very strong bias towards Si Qi, and based on the outcome, they deduce the cause, thinking that he is helpful, a super good saint, and that he entered the instance to benefit all mankind.

But Si Qi's mother, who raised him with her own hands, knew very well that Si Qi was not the type to enjoy adventure. At that time, he had no idea that he would become so powerful and be able to come out of the dungeon alive. He only entered the dungeon time and time again, risking his life, in order to find a way to cure her.

While everyone else was happy watching the live stream, anticipating Si Qi's journey to defeat the evil god, she was the only one who cried the entire time she watched the video.

She didn't care how handsome and powerful Si Qi was when he killed monsters; all she saw was her child repeatedly rushing to the place closest to death, fighting for her life against the Grim Reaper.

She was the one who pushed her child onto the battlefield!

No matter how Si Qi tried to comfort her, Si's mother still cried for a long time, blaming herself. Only when her body could no longer support her did she lie pale on the bed, her fingers trembling as she reached for the oxygen mask.

“This is my choice. If you object, I will be sad.” Si Qi helped her put on the oxygen mask and wiped away his mother’s tears. “Your life is my greatest wish. What’s this about suffering? This is not suffering at all. It is clearly the thing I enjoy the most.”

Si's mother shook her head, not wanting to speak. What kind of mother would let her child repeatedly put themselves in danger? Just thinking about how Si Qi was framed by Yin Chou and almost died with his head covered in blood, she felt that she would have rather died in her hospital bed back then.

Seeing his mother silently weeping, Si Qi unconsciously tightened his grip on her hand: "Aren't you making me feel bad? I finally got out of the dungeon, and you didn't even praise me for being amazing. You just said I shouldn't have done that."

Mrs. Si became nervous. "That's not what I meant."

“I know,” Si Qi gently patted his mother’s hand, “but I still hope you can recover your health soon. You also want to see me at my wedding, right? It wouldn’t be good if the table representing my family was empty at the wedding banquet.”

Si's mother nodded subconsciously. She would not let Si Qi be left alone. Even though Si Qi had become taller and stronger than her, she would still instinctively stand in front of Si Qi and protect him from the wind and rain when something happened.

After all, she is Si Qi's mother.

Si Qi: "Besides, it's not just for you alone. After I heal you, I still have to continue fighting. I can't let everyone down."

Mrs. Si opened her lips, remained silent for a long time, and then, with red eyes and a hoarse voice, admitted, "Yes, you should stand up."

Even though Si Qi is her son and her only family, she would support his decision if the country needed him to stand up against foreign invasion.

Even if the cost might be unbearable for her... she would still make this choice.

After all, she is Chinese.

Seeing that his mother had finally come to her senses, Si Qi smiled and said, "That's why I'm saying, everyone is happy, so you should smile too."

Seeing her son say this, Si's mother could only smile and pretend that she wasn't worried: "Yes, that's right."

She couldn't let Si Qi be distracted by worrying about her while he was facing danger outside.

She wants to be a mother to her children, not a burden.

She awkwardly changed the subject: "How are things going between you and Xiao Feng? Are you getting along well?"

Si Qi: "The progress is alright. I've been busy with dungeons lately, so we haven't had much time to spend alone together."

Si's mother: "It's alright, it's a special time after all. You two can be considered to be going through thick and thin together? I heard that he sacrificed himself to save you once... He's a good kid, a good person, and he loves you. You should cherish him."

Si Qi: "I will, as long as you like him too, Mom."

"When has Mom ever objected to anything you like?" Mrs. Si said with a smile. "I'm overjoyed that another person likes you."

The mother and son chatted warmly about everyday things until Si's mother became too tired and needed to rest. Only then did Si Qi quietly leave the room and ask the doctor waiting outside to take care of his mother.

The doctor was visibly excited upon seeing Si Qi, his voice brimming with excitement: "Don't worry!"

Clearly, she's another fan of Si Qi.
