The system hid quietly in the cracks of the space-time turbulence. It originally wanted to wait for Huo Siyuan to finish going crazy, but the data that kept popping up prevented it from calming down.
[Our Lady Index -20%, currently at 38%.]
Our Lady Index - 25%, currently at 13%.
【Our Lady Index - 10%, currently Our Lady Index is 3%. 】
Our Lady Index...
system:"!!!"
How come it dropped so much?
Song Li was leaning on a soft and comfortable pillow. She couldn't move her neck and was biting an apple piece on a toothpick with her mouth open. The roar of the system that had disappeared for a long time suddenly came out.
[Song Li, the heroine's Madonna Index has dropped sharply and is now in the single digits. Hurry and stop it! Don't forget your mission!]
Song Li almost poked his lips with the skewer. What a crappy system!
"Mrs. Huo, are you okay?" Next to her was Zhao Xiaohe, the maid of the Huo family who came to take care of Song Li. She had sharp eyes and was frightened by Song Li's seemingly unintentional little action.
It's such a sharp stick, be careful not to prick your eyes.
In Zhao Xiaohe's opinion, Song Li seemed to be about to poke his eyeball with the stick.
She was blamed for being nervous. When she came, she accepted the housekeeper's repeated instructions to be careful, and Mr. Huo, who was always aloof and difficult to approach, made an exception and gave her a lot of reminders.
This made Zhao Xiaohe feel a little nervous and frightened.
"It's okay, it's okay, you can go out first." Song Li waved his hand casually.
Zhao Xiaohe thought for a moment, took the stick from Song Li's hand, and took away the cup on the bedside that could hit someone. He looked around and made sure that there was nothing that could accidentally hurt Song Li before leaving.
"Ma'am, if you need anything, just call me."
As soon as Zhao Xiaohe left, Song Li started cursing at the system: "Rubbish system, bullshit system, how dare you come out here? You used me to protect that little bitch Hua Rongrong from disaster, and you still expect me to complete the mission. Why don't you just go to heaven!"
system:【……】
Women who are too stupid or too smart are both annoying.
The system decided to continue to swallow its anger and persuade with kind words. It happened that Huo Siyuan was not around, so it was temporarily safe.
[Host, calm down. If anything happens to Hua Rongrong, the world will collapse. That's why I asked you to help her out of necessity. Besides, aren't you okay now?]
"Your dog system is really a dog system. You never speak human language or do human things. You're okay? My neck is so cut that I can't move it. You say it's okay? Do you think getting your neck chopped is like cutting your nails, which doesn't hurt?"
[You're fine now, just a little injured. The heroine Hua Rongrong's Madonna Index has plummeted to... already 0! She was almost tortured to death by Huo Siyuan!]
Song Li inexplicably thought of a line: You only lost your legs, but she lost her love.
When I heard the second half of the sentence, I felt inexplicably relieved.
Huo Siyuan, well done!
This idea was passed to the system without any disguise, and the system felt like vomiting blood.
[The decrease in the heroine's sainthood index is not good for you. Don't forget your mission. Don't you want to go back?!]
The system used its trump card.
Here it comes, here comes the point.
Song Li suppressed her rapidly beating heart and raised an eyebrow. "What a rubbish system! Speaking of going back..." She paused for a moment before continuing, "You've completely destroyed my trust in you. You disregarded my safety and casually used me as cannon fodder to protect Hua Rongrong from disaster. How can I trust you?"
System: [What do you want to say?]
"Our cooperation is that I help you turn the heroine into a true saint, and you send me home, right?"
【……Yes. 】
"All along, I was the one who diligently and cautiously completed the mission, raising the heroine's sainthood index to 58%. In the end, she was too useless and a hopeless case, and she ruined herself, right?"
[…Yes.] The system wanted to refute it, but couldn't find an excuse to justify itself, so it could only concede in frustration.
"And you, besides asking me to do tasks all day, just play around and lose contact, right?"
【……yes. 】
"So, I've been working hard all along, and you just promised me a big deal, a promise to send me home. Other than that, you haven't given anything. Moreover, you manipulated me into shielding Hua Rongrong from disaster, and I almost died. Our cooperation is only possible because I trust you, my unconditional and unconditional belief that you can send me home."
"Now, your actions make it impossible for me to trust you. It's impossible for me to trust you. You can control my body to protect Hua Rongrong from disaster, and then you can cross the river and demolish the bridge when I have completed the mission and am no longer of any use to you."
The system was silent for a long time.
What do you want?
Song Li took a deep breath and said, "You have to prove that you are capable of sending me back. Otherwise, I refuse to do the mission."
system:【……】
System: [You want me to send you back now? ]
Song Li: "It's just temporary. Just send me back, even for a few minutes."
The system rejected it without hesitation: [No!]
Once Song Li's soul leaves at this time, the madman Huo Siyuan will definitely notice it immediately, and he will not be able to bear the consequences.
Song Li: "Oh, then cancel the cooperation. It seems that you don't have the ability to send me back. Rubbish system, goodbye, oh no, goodbye forever."
The system gritted its teeth and said, "I can connect you to your original world, and you can meet one of your relatives, but the time is only one minute."
Song Li's eyes lit up: "Sure!"
Who do you want to see?
"My grandfather."
【name. 】
"Song Huaian."
The system finds the location: [Please prepare yourself. You only have one minute.]
Song Li took a deep breath, and the words he had prepared long ago were already in his mind. "Okay."
As soon as Song Li finished speaking, cracks suddenly appeared in the space in front of him, and something was distorted, as if something was forcibly broken. Various electric currents flowed rapidly, and the picture flickered a few times. Finally, the appearance of an old man appeared. The old man was sitting in a yard, with various bamboo strips piled around him. A pair of old, dry hands, marked with traces of time, were covered with various new and old scars. He was bowing his head to weave a bamboo basket.
"Grandpa! Grandpa!" Song Li shouted excitedly.
The old man was old and his hearing was a little poor, but he raised his head as soon as Song Li called him. There was a daze in his old eyes. After seeing Song Li, the old wrinkles on his face stretched out one by one, and his joy was beyond words.
"Little Ali?" He dropped the half-woven bamboo basket, stood up tremblingly, and walked towards Song Li with his hands shaking.
In his vision, Song Li was still wearing the clothes he wore in his original world before he transmigrated into the book, standing not far in front of him.
"Grandpa, it's me!" Hearing her grandfather's familiar voice, Song Li almost couldn't control her tears. She subconsciously stretched forward to help Grandpa Song, but all she touched was air.
