He quietly crept up to Lin Jiujiu and sat down next to her.
Seeing that Lin Jiujiu wasn't angry, he spoke softly.
"This mermaid pearl carries your original essence."
Lin Jiujiu's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"What's the meaning?"
Xiao Bai paused for a moment. He just felt that the aura above was too familiar. He had only recently developed self-awareness, and the person he had come into contact with the most was Lin Jiujiu.
There are some things he can't figure out clearly, so he can only say everything he can think of.
"It is a part of you, and absorbing it can help you advance to a higher level."
The more Xiaobai talked about it, the more convinced he became that this was indeed the case.
Although it was just a transmigration into another world, and Lin Jiujiu was even reborn by borrowing someone else's body.
But for some reason, from the moment it saw the mermaid pearl, it felt that this thing belonged to her, not to her body, but to her soul.
Even after experiencing countless small worlds, it's still the same.
Suddenly, Xiaobai seemed to remember something and eagerly tugged at Lin Jiujiu's arm with its two little paws.
"Jiujiu, I have a bold guess."
Lin Jiujiu looked at its excited appearance, but didn't pay much attention to it.
After all, she didn't think that Xiaobai's little brain could remember anything useful.
In addition, she was in a bad mood and didn't have any nice words for Xiaobai.
He simply and coldly pried open its claws.
"put."
Xiao Bai didn't pay attention to what she was saying; he was just excited that he might be close to the truth.
He opened his mouth and launched into a long string of words.
"Do you think you might be a big shot in some world, someone who wants to kill you but finds that ordinary methods can't deal with you, so they try to suppress you?"
Then, through this so-called system, they make you do tasks, and then use these so-called tasks to gradually strip away your original power.
Then she stretched out her little paw and pointed at the mermaid pearl, saying, "It's just like this thing."
Lin Jiujiu's action of holding the wine pot and drinking wine froze in mid-air.
Although the guess was somewhat absurd, Lin Jiujiu felt an urge to believe him for some reason.
Because everything she's experienced is illogical, this even more illogical explanation now seems somewhat reasonable.
Seeing that Lin Jiujiu seemed willing to believe him, Xiaobai became even more enthusiastic.
"No wonder, every time you completed a mission before, I felt that you were a few points weaker than before."
On the contrary, even if you fail the mission and receive severe punishment, it will only result in superficial injuries and won't cause you much harm.
Moreover, what's strangest is that the tasks the main system always gives her are those that seem unlikely to succeed, but are actually not difficult.
However, all the scripts she received were those of tragic heroines.
According to the plot, she suffers physical and emotional torment but ultimately has to forgive the scumbag, and then it ends happily.
When Xiaobai was originally the system, it also felt that the plot was too melodramatic and unreasonable, but it could only accept the main system's instructions and urge Lin Jiujiu to complete the task.
Looking back now, it does reveal many illogical aspects.
Hearing him say that, Lin Jiujiu became somewhat suspicious.
After all, Xiaobai was originally bound to her soul.
There are some things that she herself may not be as aware of as Xiaobai.
If someone were to maliciously weaken her soul little by little, like boiling a frog in lukewarm water, she might not easily notice.
Lin Jiujiu had already believed 80-90% of what Xiaobai said. After all, they were now one, and if she wasn't doing well, Xiaobai wouldn't be either.
Even if it weren't for her, I wouldn't betray her for my own sake.
Thinking this, Lin Jiujiu waved to the mermaid pearl floating in mid-air.
The mermaid pearl seemed to have its own consciousness and could understand Lin Jiujiu's intentions. Not only did it fly towards her, but it also affectionately rubbed against her before landing in her palm.
The moment Lin Jiujiu held the mermaid pearl in her hand, she felt a tremor in her soul.
The feeling was somewhat like a single, decisive blow, as if one's soul was floating and ascending to heaven.
Overwhelmed with emotion, Lin Jiujiu found that the mermaid pearl had spontaneously merged with her.
The original, soul-stirring stimulation has been further elevated.
Lin Jiujiu subconsciously curled her toes to prevent herself from making any shameful sounds.
After all, that little rascal, Xiaobai, was still watching longingly from the sidelines.
After waiting for a while, Lin Jiujiu finally opened her slightly squinted eyes.
Little White couldn't wait to straighten up, lift its two front paws off the ground, and look at her expectantly as it asked.
"How is it? Is it a fragment of your soul?"
Lin Jiujiu looked down at him and finally nodded.
"How much do you know about me based on my past life?"
It took Lin Jiujiu a long time to finally ask the question.
She only remembered the lifetime in which she was bound to the system.
She was just an ordinary working woman. If there was anything extraordinary about her, it was that she was an orphan.
He was abandoned at the gate of an orphanage as a child and didn't know who his biological parents were.
The orphanage raised her until she was sixteen, as per regulations, and she began working part-time while studying.
After graduating from high school, she entered a second-tier university and supported herself with student loans and odd jobs.
It wasn't until I graduated from university at the age of 22 and entered a small private company that my life gradually got on track.
However, at the age of twenty-three, he died at the bottom of the icy lake while saving a child who had fallen into the water.
Her soul was captured by the system and forcibly signed into a contract.
At first, she thought it was a compensation from heaven, but as the mission unfolded, she realized how naive she had been.
Although she is the female lead in the mission, she is always the one who suffers physical and emotional abuse.
The female supporting character needs a kidney transplant, and she's always the one who's a match.
If the female supporting character needs her uterus, then she will definitely have it removed, even if the other party is completely unusable.
Her main tactic is to cut whatever others want.
Finally, a terminal illness is introduced, causing the male protagonist to repent. Then, he drinks a lot of old wine and gets caught in a downpour, and everyone will persuade him to forgive her.
They'll also say things like, "A prodigal son who returns is more precious than gold," and "The male lead still loves her; she should cherish him."
She resisted this melodramatic, deliberately angsty plot the first time she experienced it.
Of course, aside from those who are mentally unstable, no one can resist it.
It is precisely because of this resistance that she is prone to out-of-character (OOC) behavior in mission worlds, causing her to fail missions frequently, and as a result, she suffers many inhumane punishments.
Now Xiaobai tells her that the reason she is like this might be because she is not herself.
How could Lin Jiujiu not be curious?
However, this little idiot, Xiaobai, was destined to be of little use.
He was completely bewildered after hearing Lin Jiujiu's question.
"I don't know either. When the main system asked me to bind with you, it only said that your soul was powerful and that I should pay attention to your movements at all times and report to it."
They also provided a complete set of punishment mechanisms, saying that if you disobey, you can be appropriately punished.
