Chapter 53
"What is this?" Yun Mian pinched a light white pupil and observed it curiously in the palm of her hand.
The system squatted on her wrist and explained excitedly: "This is a spiritual pupil!"
Spiritual pupil?
"Mianmian, the spiritual pupil has its own spiritual energy. It was originally something that could only be cultivated in the world of immortal cultivation. It can help you see all the monsters and demons that are invisible to the naked eye. It can see through illusions. Even buildings within a certain range are transparent and penetrable to the spiritual pupil."
"It is much stronger than the Yin-Yang Eyes or other abilities such as perspective. If I have the opportunity to go to the world of immortal cultivation in the future, I can continue to absorb spiritual energy to upgrade. By then, I will definitely be more powerful!"
As the system explained, Yunmian’s mouth opened wider and wider, and finally she couldn’t help but let out a “wow”.
Sounds awesome!
"Fortunately, we settled our merits in advance, otherwise we wouldn't be able to draw such a good thing!" The system flew up happily, as if it was the one who won the prize.
Afterwards, Yun Mian followed the guidance of the system to integrate the spiritual pupil into her eyes. Although she only drew one pupil, both eyes changed after it was integrated into her body.
The vision has become clearer, especially the dynamic vision. Yunmian can even capture the trajectory left by the system uncle flying in mid-air.
My eyes felt warm, as if they were being gently compressed by hot steam.
"Mianmian, your eye color has become a little darker." After careful observation, the system concluded: "It was dark brown before, but now the brown color seems to be gone."
Yun Mian blinked, and her dark pupils could still let in the light. She didn't look gloomy at all, but rather had a bit of clarity.
"Mianmian, it's beautiful!" The system said happily: "We really found a treasure this time!"
Yunmian nodded with her eyes curved: "Yeah! Then let's continue with the task? I miss my mother a little bit~"
Although it has only been a short while since she left the mission world, Yun Mian couldn't wait to see her because her mother died too early in the previous world due to many diseases she suffered in the war when she was young.
"Okay." The system uploaded the task application and said in a hurry: "However, because the task object in the previous world had a bug, the original plot can't be used. So after discussion, the General Administration unanimously decided that our task world will no longer release the plot. We will only tell you who the protagonist is. The weight of the main task and the side task will also become the same. As long as we complete one of them, we can successfully leave the task world."
Before Yunmian could answer, the transmission began.
Therefore, she didn't hear the system's next words: "I will also change the name from Villain Role Playing System to Villain Counterattack System!!"
Linjiang City, Angel Welfare Home.
Lying on a small, very old bed, Yun Mian rubbed her eyes and lifted the damp, thin quilt from her body uncomfortably.
The ball of light flew in front of her, and waited patiently for her to open her eyes before gently saying, "Mianmian, your body is still sick. Let's go out and sit in the sun for a while."
The child who had just woken up pursed his lips and nodded gently.
The system flew to her shoulder and caressed her cold cheek affectionately as a way of comforting her.
It was not until Yunmian got up from the small bed that the system realized that her body looked too thin.
It subconsciously flew up a little, inexplicably afraid that its sphere would add more weight to the child's already thin body.
As Yunmian walked out slowly, the system flipped through the tasks and world introductions, and tried to soften its voice and said slowly: "Mianmian, this world is a bit dangerous. There are ghosts. Fortunately, we drew the spiritual pupil before..."
When it said this, it found that Yunmian suddenly stopped.
"...Uncle, where is my mother?" The little girl's dark eyes stared blankly into the air. She must have read the original memory of this body.
The system paused and introduced with difficulty: "Mianmian, in this world, your mother has passed away in order to protect you."
Before she finished her words, big tears ran down her cheeks. For a moment, the system couldn't tell whether it was a problem with Yunmian's soul or the sadness that remained in this body.
Yunmian stood blankly in the cold shadow. She only needed to take one step forward to touch the warm sunshine.
The system gently touched her cheek and comforted her in a gentle voice: "Don't be afraid, Mianmian, your mother is still here. Wait two more days and she will come to see you."
It is now the fifth day after Yun Jinli's death, the third day since Yun Mian was sent to the welfare home by the police, and in two days it will be the seventh day after Yun Jinli's death.
As if her mind was awakened by these words, Yun Mian pursed her lips and lowered her head, then slowly walked out of the shadow behind her.
She sat on the steps, the sunlight falling on her, gradually dispelling the coldness in the house.
After spending some time quietly basking in the sun with Yunmian, the system briefly explained the mission to the child.
"This world is a supernatural world. The protagonist is a little girl from the same orphanage as you, named An An. She has the ability to see ghosts. Our main quest is to become a heavenly master, and our side quest is to seal the ghost king."
After the system finished speaking, the child sitting in the sun still didn't respond. His long eyelashes cast a shadow on his eyelids, and his dark, clear eyes stared at the grass under the steps for a long time without blinking.
Yun Mian's mind was filled with fragments of memories of this body.
A few days ago, she was still a child with a mother and a home, but one night five days ago, a burglary changed everything.
Her mother hid her in the cupboard under the bed, and Yunmian had no idea what happened afterwards.
When she saw the light again, her mother was gone.
The policewoman covered her eyes, and she was unable to see her mother for the last time. Her relatives were unwilling to take over, so she was soon sent to an orphanage, fell ill, and stayed in bed for two days.
Yun Mian hugged herself tightly with her arms. The warm sunlight fell on her body, but she felt cold and shivering all over.
"Mianmian, are you feeling better today?" The auntie at the welfare home finally noticed her, walked over and touched her head with a smile.
Yun Mian raised her eyes, and her pupils contracted the next second.
She saw a boy lying on the aunt's back, covered in blood.
Yunmian subconsciously avoided her aunt's hand, pursed her lips and leaned back, showing resistance on her face.
Li Shuang's hand paused awkwardly in mid-air, then she quickly withdrew it with a smile, leaned over and asked softly, "Your name is Mianmian, right? Now that you're awake, can I take you to dinner?"
"Mianmian, follow her. You haven't eaten for two or three days." The system squatted on Yunmian's shoulder and also saw the bloody little ghost.
Li Shuang tried to hold Yunmian's hand, but the little girl had her hands behind her back. She could only shake her head and lead Yunmian slowly towards the cafeteria.
On the way to the cafeteria, the system took a look at the host's current status, then stared at the words "mild autism" and sighed helplessly.
Although it is Mianmian's own soul, her personality will indeed be affected at the beginning. I just hope that the appearance of the host mother in two days will allow her to slowly return to her original state.
Yun Mian followed behind Li Shuang. As she had just entered this world, she was still somewhat curious. She looked around the welfare home silently, but quickly dodged when she accidentally met the curious gazes of other children.
It's different from a hospital.
The welfare home looks a bit old, but it has some children's play facilities that Yunmian has only seen on TV. Although the paint on the walls has peeled off a lot, there are large paintings full of childlike fun, but they have faded a lot.
She also saw a little devil hiding in the shadow, the same one who had been lying on Li Shuang's shoulder before. He seemed to be a little hurt by the sun, and was huddled in the shadow of the corner, staring at Li Shuang with fierce eyes.
As if it noticed Yunmian's gaze, it looked over quietly.
Yunmian stared at it blankly, and after several seconds, she tilted her head towards it.
The voice of the system uncle rang in my ears: "Mianmian, the spiritual pupil can help you see ghosts, but others can't see them. They may hurt you, and humans may also hurt you, so don't tell others that you can see ghosts, and don't look ghosts in the eye, so as to avoid a lot of trouble and danger."
But Yunmian was still staring at the little ghost.
And as she was walking behind Li Shuang, she deviated from her route and walked straight towards the little ghost.
Li Shuang frowned and looked at her from behind, and the little ghost also raised his head and glared at her fiercely.
Yunmian squatted in front of it and stretched out her white and tender fingers to gently poke the little ghost's cheek.
The little ghost wanted to hide, but failed. The next second, Yun Mian picked him up like a rag doll.
The system was so frightened that it took a deep breath and didn't dare to speak for a long time.
The little ghost was also confused, his resentful eyes became dull, and he stood there for a long time without reacting after being hugged by Yunmian.
Yun Mian held it in her arms and turned to walk towards Li Shuang, who was frowning.
The sun was scorching behind her, but she blocked the curled-up little ghost tightly, and her little hand would occasionally rub the thin braid behind the little ghost's head.
System: “…Mianmian, aren’t you afraid?” Its voice was a little shaky.
Yun Mian looked down at the little ghost, her fingers itching to rub it again, which made the little ghost stunned. It opened its sharp teeth for a long time but didn't bite her.
"Mianmian, what's the posture you're in?" Li Shuang looked at the new kid strangely. Her arms were clasped together as if she was holding something, but it was clear that there was only invisible air in her hands.
For some reason, as she looked at Yun Mian's strange posture, a chill slowly crept up her spine.
Yun Mian ignored her, or rather, Yun Mian ignored everyone, and walked straight forward holding the little ghost in her arms.
She had seen the cafeteria.
It’s a new world. There are two more chapters to come.
