She was still too late.
Cui Ziqi's next target is her!
Xia Wan felt a chill run through her body, and her heart sank into an ice cellar.
The mission failed, and Cui Ziqi went mad.
With the male lead Zheng Minghuai not here, she, who impersonated Cui Ziqi's savior, became his next target for killing.
The system alarm sounded louder and louder in her mind, almost bursting out of her head.
The dagger slipped from her hand and fell to the ground. She clutched her head in pain, her vision beginning to blur.
Cui Ziqi, dressed in a black trench coat, strode towards her. She could vaguely see the arc of his coat hem rising and falling. Looking up, the lamplight cast a shadow on his head, obscuring the expression on his relaxed face.
She could only feel those burning, menacing gazes sweeping over her.
She started to feel pain all over her body.
Failure of the mission means that she will soon leave this body, and the system will arrange for her to do a mission in another world until the mission is completed and she returns to the real world.
I felt a tearing pain all over my body, as if my soul was leaving my body.
She held onto the door frame, enduring wave after wave of increasingly intense pain.
[Host, I have applied for the next task from the main system. I have used your accumulated points to redeem a simple task, which is currently in the queue. Please wait.]
A strong sense of emptiness washed over my heart.
The man in front of her was getting closer and closer.
She was afraid, yet inexplicably felt reluctant to part with it.
What will happen to Cui Ziqi?
She asked the system.
The system will respond when it has time.
[There were police outside. Cui Ziqi goes on a killing spree at the nightclub and was shot dead on the spot by Liang Qi. Luckily, the male lead wasn't there, otherwise he might have been caught in the crossfire of the male supporting character's rampage.]
'Is this... the main system's arrangement?'
That's right, only if the unstable male supporting character dies can the male lead's life be prevented from threatening him, and thus the world won't collapse.
Xia Wan felt as if she had been stabbed in the heart, unable to imagine the scene of Cui Ziqi dying under the police's gun.
At the same time.
Cui Ziqi had already walked up to her.
A slender, white hand reached out to her, and she instinctively felt that it was a hand that would take her life.
Why do you look so pale?
The voice was unexpectedly gentle.
Xia Wan couldn't help but raise her eyes and meet his scarlet yet cautious gaze.
His warm hand landed on her slender, smooth nape, pressing her head closer. He bent down, pressing his cheek against hers, his lips near her ear, his warm breath falling on her earlobe, which had turned red from his touch.
"Don't look back, wait for me here, I'll take you home in a bit."
His voice was still pleasant, seemingly soothing.
She didn't see the ruthlessness in Cui Ziqi's gaze as she looked up at the people outside the door.
She endured the churning pain inside her body, watching Cui Ziqi's every move with astonishment.
Take her home?
He won't kill her?
Cui Ziqi gently rubbed her head, walked past her, and went out the door.
Soon, the sound of fists hitting flesh rang out behind them, along with Cui Jiyang's angry curses that came from near and far, and Cui Nan's trembling voice as she tried to break up the fight.
Xia Wan was in so much pain that she couldn't stand up, so she squatted down while holding onto the door frame.
She didn't look back, but instead negotiated with the system with hopeful eyes.
'System, Cui Ziqi didn't kill me, he didn't go crazy, is there something wrong with your data?'
I can't possibly make a mistake!
The system is very confident and assertive.
Soon, a crackling sound echoed in my mind, followed by the system's bewildered and guilty voice.
[...There seems to be an error; the male supporting character's corruption level is 98%...]
The system couldn't believe it.
How could it possibly be wrong?
But the facts are right here; there isn't even a record of the male supporting character's "darkening" value exploding just now.
In other words, it was wrong from the very beginning!
It is unacceptable.
Xia Wan felt her discomfort gradually disappear, and she felt relaxed all over. A smile unconsciously appeared on her lips.
'The data was corrupted, and it almost wasted resources by making the host switch sources to complete the task. You damn system, you should really think about how you're going to explain this to your main system.'
The system disappeared, wailing.
Xia Wan wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and turned to look at the battlefield that belonged to Cui Ziqi.
The bodyguards who had just been swaggering in front of her were now lying scattered on the ground, groaning in pain. Some tried to get up, but after struggling for a bit, they fell back down.
She turned to step out the door.
A dark shadow flew over from mid-air, and Xia Wan hurriedly dodged backward.
Yu Rong, bruised and battered, was thrown to her feet and fainted. His body was covered in dirt, and his face was splattered with thick blood.
She instinctively took a step back.
"Cui Jiyang, do you dare to scheme against me like this? Are you gambling with my filial piety?"
A faint sound came from the doorway.
Xia Wan peeked out, turned to the left, and met Cui Ziqi's gloomy and unpredictable gaze.
Before the man could react, his cold gaze fell directly on Xia Wan, who trembled involuntarily.
Cui Ziqi frowned, her red eyes flashing slightly.
"Go in."
Startled, Xia Wan quickly shrank back and crawled back into the study.
Cui Ziqi had no tools in his hands, and none of the bodyguards and others who were beaten to the ground had fatal injuries.
It seems he still has some sense and has no intention of killing anyone.
She breathed a long sigh of relief, and as her tense mind relaxed, tears welled up in her eyes.
Fortunately, Cui Ziqi lived up to expectations.
There was a faint sobbing sound coming from inside the room.
It came from Fu Li.
