There is a bound mission relationship between 057 and Song Mengwan.
Therefore, it only needs a thought to teleport back to Song Mengwan's vicinity.
On the weekend, Song Mengwan had no filming assignments and spent her time at home scrolling through her phone.
057 can't be found on the first floor.
It ran around the room like a madman: [Host, host, something terrible has happened!!!!]
At the same time, a loud commotion came from the second floor of the villa: "It's terrible! It's terrible! We're doomed! We're doomed!"
Song Mengwan hurriedly threw on a coat and rushed downstairs.
At the corner of the stairs, the two almost bumped into each other.
Fortunately, Song Mengwan stopped herself in time: "Little trash? When did you get back?"
Ever since meeting Ning Yanshu, 057 has always liked to stay by his side.
They completely forgot that they were already an owned system.
Unless a task is assigned, even Song Mengwan rarely sees it on ordinary days.
Character 057, in a panic: [None of that matters now. I'm telling you, something terrible has happened! I know…]
The words that were about to be uttered suddenly stopped, and 057 could not believe what he was seeing.
Suddenly, a floating platform appeared in front of it.
That was a task issued by the system space.
At the very bottom of the task list, there is a row of warning notes in small red font—
[Task: Find and drive away the transmigrators in the novel's world. Time limit: 3 months.]
Friendly reminder: Do not interfere in Ning Yanshu's kidnapping case.
Why?
057 has a blank expression.
Why shouldn't it interfere with the little book's affairs? ...
Oh right, I almost forgot about it.
Its own existence is meant to hasten the villain's unfortunate fate, prompting him to turn evil and ultimately meet his death.
But what can we do?
It had already promised Xiao Shu that it would lead everyone back to save him.
You must keep your promises.
But if the task isn't completed in time, then it...
...
Seeing 057's vacant eyes, standing there blankly, lost in thought, without reacting for a long time.
Song Mengwan couldn't help but nudge it: "Hey, you little rascal. What's wrong with you? Did it crash?"
057 kept his eyes tightly shut, not daring to look at her: 【N-nothing.】
It tried to dispel the lingering reluctance in its heart and suppress its unease.
It's just a system, a machine.
It doesn't have a conscience.
It doesn't have feelings either.
It's feeling a little pain and discomfort right now. Perhaps it's just because of some kind of malfunction in the machine.
Once the mission is over, it will return to normal after returning to the main god space for maintenance...
...
A moment later, he looked up again.
057's fundus has regained its clarity.
Song Mengwan found 057's strange behavior odd: "What did you just say you knew?"
057 replied: 【I am aware of the latest task issued by the system.】
It quietly concealed the warning.
The task requirements were only presented to Song Mengwan.
[Mission: Find and drive away the transmigrators in the novel's world. Time limit: 3 months.]
Song Mengwan was stunned: "057, do you mean that there are transmigrators in this novel world?"
[Yes, host.] 057 said, [Our mission this time is to find this transmigrator and drive him away. We can't let him disrupt the novel's plot structure.]
057: [This task is quite difficult, but it also has a long timeframe. Therefore, we have ample time to prepare.]
Song Mengwan rested her chin on her hand and thought for a moment: "Since the novel revolves around the story of the male and female protagonists, the person who transmigrates into the book is most likely someone close to the male and female protagonists."
If we just follow this clue, it shouldn't be too difficult...
...
"Oh no! I almost forgot!" Song Mengwan slapped her thigh. "I have some really urgent business to attend to, and you've made me almost forget about it."
057 asked, puzzled, "What happened?"
"Xiao Shu has been kidnapped!"
057 felt a jolt in his heart.
He then lowered his head guiltily, his eyes darting around nervously.
“I haven’t looked for Wanwan in a long time. I was planning to go to Wanwan’s house for a meal this weekend. But when I called, I found out that Xiaoshu had been missing for an afternoon.” Song Mengwan said, “We’re not sure yet whether it was abduction or kidnapping, but I have to go there first.”
After saying that, Song Mengwan jogged to the entrance to put on her shoes.
While doing so, she turned back to 057 and asked, "Little trash, I remember you've been following Xiaoshu around every day lately. Don't you know about this?"
057 forced a calm demeanor: 【...Because I've been acting more like a system in the Main God Space these past few days, I don't know what happened...】
Seeing that Song Mengwan's gaze was still fixed on her, 057 asked a few more dry questions: "How could this happen... Is Xiao Shu... is he alright?"
“I don’t know, I haven’t been able to get in touch with them. The police are still investigating.” Song Mengwan put on sunglasses, a mask, and a hat, fully disguising herself. “Anyway, I’ll go to Wanwan’s place first. I might need your help if necessary.”
Upon hearing Song Mengwan's words, 057 suddenly became somewhat anxious.
It blocked her way: "No! You can't. Host, you can't go over there!"
"Why?" Song Mengwan's beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"Little slut, you're acting really strange today?" Her eyes were fixed on 057: "Usually, aren't you the one who cares most about Xiaoshu and likes to discuss his affairs with me the most?"
Why do they seem so indifferent and apathetic at this moment?
Song Mengwan slowly walked towards 057.
Her eyes were sharp. With each step she took closer, 057 would take a step back in fright.
Only when the cloud was pressed against the wall, with no way to retreat, did it force itself to explain: "I...I was just afraid that the host's public figure identity would be exposed..."
Song Mengwan didn't believe it.
The gaze was like a venomous snake, tightly coiling around 057.
057 felt a chill run down his spine from her gaze, but more than that, he felt a guilty nervousness.
Just as it was about to give up and pretend to die to escape, Song Mengwan suddenly looked away and said, "Never mind, I don't want to talk to you."
057 breathed a long sigh of relief, as if he had been granted a pardon.
But when he saw Song Mengwan leaving the house, he was stunned again: [Host, you...]
"Don't try to stop me." Song Mengwan's tone was unfriendly. She said irritably, "If you can't help me, then don't even try to stop me."
"Humans are complex creatures with complicated emotions; you piece of trash wouldn't understand!"
After saying that, Song Mengwan lowered the brim of her hat and left without looking back.
057 was left standing there, bewildered and lost...
