The system said helplessly, "Her logic is that once I see the keywords, it's no different from knowing her past—"
"She seems to care a lot?"
"Well—even though I've cycled with her many times, and even though I've sensed a lot about her past through my brain waves, even when I was asleep—she still doesn't want anyone to spy on her. Perhaps she simply thinks it's disgusting to have someone peering into her mind—" The system sighed lightly, "So, I originally didn't have permission to view the master's keywords. After she became my master, I strengthened this part."
“That’s still…” Chu Shangli’s eyes turned: “It’s really inconvenient.”
"It seems like you're the one who wants to know your keywords."
"Of course I do. I don't know myself well enough. If I could understand my inner self a little bit through this method, perhaps my future plans would be more convenient."
"Then it's fine if you don't need 'keywords' or anything like that. If you're willing, just cultivate my goodwill. Then you'll be able to access my intelligence database, which might be more useful to you than keywords. Of course, I'm not denying the role of keywords. I just think that if we can combine both aspects, we can actually gain more."
"Anyway, keywords can be linked to each other. Maybe one of them can be linked to mine—" Chu Shangli nodded. "Yes, you are right. I agree with your idea. Prioritize cultivating your favorability and exploring keywords. Combining the two may reveal more. Although this is an uncertain possibility, there is no benefit in being stuck in the plot at the same time."
"Not necessarily. If you're willing to stay in the space where I stopped for six or seven days, or four or five years of your own subjective time, perhaps you can trigger some special plot."
"Did your former master, who loved experiments, ever try it?"
"Ah—indeed, she tried. But, although my former master was very decisive when it came to suicide, she was also incredibly impatient in some areas. Especially without keeping track of time—wanting to remain motionless and simply communicate with me for two days. I suspect my former master would have gone mad because of this—of course, she wasn't normal to begin with. I mean, something even crazier than this, forbidding me from interfering in her suicide..."
"Is it that serious?"
"Well—indeed, besides being afraid of death, my former master was also very afraid of being alone. Her repeated deaths were a way to live better, and to have more people around her. I think the reason she couldn't stay away from the Cheshire Cat's other relative, besides love, actually included other complex emotions—for example, she had to find someone to accompany her, so it would be better if it was someone she knew well."
"Cheshire Cat is also okay, right?"
"In theory, it's possible, but she actually hates her daughter more than she realizes. Even if she can pretend to be overflowing with maternal love, acting is always acting, just like competing for character image, it will be exposed sooner or later. The Cheshire Cat probably also feels that her mother's maternal love is just a copy and paste of what she heard—" The system sighed: "However, it is true that the Cheshire Cat cut off more possibilities of my previous master."
