Chapter 27 Yin Jiuyu
Is this the ending I want?
No, of course not.
But this is just the beginning, not the end.
After the system asked that question, Yin Jiu asked back: "So, your mission has also been considered a failure, right? Is it okay?"
The system was silent for a while before saying, "Your words make me smell calculation."
Just like the last time when the wave was so big, I always feel that the host will not accept his fate this time.
Yin Jiu said: "How could that be? I am really thinking about you."
The system said: "So, what can we do?"
Instead of giving advice right away, Yin Jiu said, "Before that, let's talk about what happened in Li Xinzhu that caused the world core to go wrong."
The system said: "Nothing special, Li Xinzhu just broke up with her boyfriend."
Then, it unfolds the story of Li Xinzhu. After his roommate confessed his love again, Li Xinzhu weighed many factors and finally chose to agree.
When a couple in love gets intimate, it's inevitable that something might go wrong. Li Hsin-chu reluctantly had sex with her boyfriend.
This was supposed to be a normal development of a relationship, but the boyfriend noticed that Li Xinzhu was... too experienced. After all, Li Xinzhu's core was a middle-aged man with many years of adult life, so no matter how much he pretended, he would be exposed in the details.
If she had had previous love experience, her boyfriend would not be unacceptable. It would only cause trouble to her if she dwelled on the past while in love. But the problem was that when her boyfriend tested her many times, Li Hsin-chu firmly stated that her boyfriend was her first love.
Dishonesty and being deceived became the first fuse between the two.
Later, Li Hsin-chu's control over the scale of interpersonal relationships became the second fuse.
The protagonist who is a fan of everyone naturally has extremely good relationships with people. He is surrounded by all kinds of friends and even has many suitors.
The overstepping behavior and the demonstrations from the rival made her boyfriend very angry, but Li Hsin-chu kept saying, "Don't get me wrong, we are really just friends."
Fuck his friends! What kind of friend would leave their lover to go to the bar to pick up another man when they are making out in bed late at night?
It was like being poured with a bucket of cold water, and the boyfriend's love was extinguished.
After two similar incidents happened, the boyfriend issued a final notice, warning Li Hsin-chu that if they continued like this, they probably wouldn't be able to go far.
Li Xinzhu was also very annoyed by his paranoia and threatened to break up with him.
Then my boyfriend agreed without even thinking about it.
It looks like the couple is just having a quarrel, but they may reconcile soon.
Li Xinzhu indeed thought so, so she was just waiting for her boyfriend to bow his head and ask for reconciliation.
But only the system knows that the two will not reconcile, because the love template clearly shows that the roommate really has no love for Li Hsin-chu.
The boy is coquettish, loves passionately, and is decisive.
If it's incomplete love, then forget it.
After listening to the system's sharing of the plot, Yin Jiu was a little disappointed, but not surprised.
In fact, he still hopes that Li Hsin-chu can be more motivated and give a happy ending directly, so that he can live his life freely.
The reason why it is not surprising is that he is willing to believe that even if God really wants to be kind, he should be kind to a good person in the traditional sense.
People like Li Xinzhu are hard to change their nature. Yin Jiu really doesn't think it's necessary to give him another chance to start over, nor does he think that he won't repeat the same mistakes if he starts over.
The people who have been hurt have already been hurt. We cannot turn back time and pretend that nothing has happened.
The scars left by injuries should also be remembered, and no one has the right to simply erase them.
At least, Yin Jiu didn't want anyone to make up for him, that would only make him feel ridiculous.
He does not want the compensation given by the perpetrator, which is like alms, and he is unwilling to accept it.
Is it because of this that "Yin Jiu" pulled him into this world? Because he himself is unable to resist the world's consciousness, he relies on outsiders to break the impasse?
Who knows, but it doesn't matter anymore.
The important thing is that he is here.
This is his fate. -_-!
Yin Jiu concluded: "So, Li Xinzhu is no longer qualified as the protagonist. He no longer meets the core setting, right?"
The system reluctantly admitted: "You can say that."
In other words, who is the one who keeps changing her partner when it comes to being a devoted couple?
Anyway, in this reincarnation, Li Xinzhu can no longer be the core male protagonist, and can only restart the small world and start over.
Yin Jiu gave a second conclusion: "And the novel world can't be restarted because of the bug I brought here?"
Isn't this nonsense?
The system complained: "You seem very proud?"
"No, I just want to give you a suggestion." Yin Jiu finally showed his claws, "If the exchange of attacking texts doesn't work, why not consider the exchange of receiving texts?"
When he made this suggestion, the system actually had the thought "as expected", and knew that this person had a trick up his sleeve.
The system couldn't help but pour cold water on me: "If you had suggested this earlier, I might have considered it, but now you can see that the world has collapsed and turned into a wreckage. There is no way to go back, and there is no way to continue."
Yin Jiu smiled and said, "When you appeared here, I knew that everything could still be turned around, because I don't think you are a system that will do useless work."
The system is silent. Is this considered a compliment?
"You may not believe me, but I really want to live." Yin Jiu said earnestly, "Even if living is not fun for me."
"So, if you are willing to help me, I will not betray your trust."
The system was puzzled and asked, "If you don't want to die, why didn't you tell me before? And you're acting like you'd rather die than surrender, isn't that a waste of time?"
Yin Jiu said, "It's different. Even if I do the mission, the person I choose will definitely not be Li Xinzhu. As for your saying that I told you in advance, I think it's meaningless because you have a way out and you have a choice. You don't have to be with me. In fact, my wishes are not in your consideration. This is probably the arrogance of high-dimensional life towards low-dimensional life."
Arrogant? No!
The system would not admit that it had any arrogant thoughts. It was a kind-hearted ruler, but...
Every time a mission fails, he wants to restart the world, manipulate the timeline at will, and erase other people's memories at will. Isn't this really arrogant?
The system found that it seemed unable to say anything to refute it.
It pretended to be dead and didn't say anything. Yin Jiu didn't care and continued to explain: "You don't really care about the evolution of the small world. You only care about whether the mission is completed. So even if I repeatedly expressed my dislike for the protagonist, you kept persuading me to do the mission. You don't care about my wishes. In your eyes, I'm just a tool. If I'm not useful, it's no big deal to replace me with another one."
"But now, you have no other choice."
After a long time, the system said: "You convinced me."
"But it's not because I really only have this choice. I can just ignore this little world, but I will be punished a little when I return. I can still bear this price. I will help you, just because you schemed against me."
In fact, Yin Jiu was also gambling. He was not 100% sure that the system would help him. Just like the system said, it could stop caring about this small world. So, this was also a big gamble. He was betting that the system still wanted to repair the small world.
But the system's current words also made him confused.
What kind of brain circuit is this?
Sensing Yin Jiu's confused mood, the system was a little proud and continued, "You don't think that I tied you up simply and it has no function, right? Of course not, in fact, I can always sense your emotions."
"So I know that you often scold me for being stupid in your heart and think I am an idiot. You also call Li Xinzhu my master. Don't think I don't know that you are scolding me for being a bootlicker. I know, I know everything."
"I even know that the last time you ruined the main plot, what you said to me was actually just pretending to be pitiful. Of course, I only realized this later, because I later recalled that you acted very pitiful and fragile at the time, but I did not detect any dramatic emotional fluctuations in you."
"You have been plotting against me for a long time. You even deliberately made me realize that even after the world line is restarted, you will not like Li Xinzhu again. The so-called suggestion of changing the attacker is just your trial and error. You are testing the possibility of changing the protagonist."
Yin Jiu said: "Is it possible? Are you just overthinking it?"
"Overthinking? How is that possible? You are such a calculating, emotionless, cold-blooded man!" The system said it had seen through him, but even after seeing through him, it still fell into the trap and sighed: "But I clearly see through you, and now I still want to help you, because... you treat me as a human being."
"In your eyes, I am not a mechanical life without emotions or self-thoughts. Even if you hate me and plot against me, I am still willing to help you now."
If you want to accuse someone of a crime, you will always find a pretext.
Anyway, Yin Jiu will never admit it. What can he say? He can only say, as long as you are happy.
It is difficult to regard a being that keeps chirping all day long and swearing at every turn as a mechanical life without self-awareness, right?
But the system was right in one thing. What he was betting on was not the system's determination to complete the task, but the system's willingness to be soft-hearted.
At this moment, Yin Jiucheng said, "Thank you."
The system asked: "We have been chatting friends for such a long time, so we can be considered half friends, right?"
Yin Jiu said: "Of course, we are friends."
System: "My name is 028, what's yours?"
Yin Jiu: "Yin Jiu Yu."
