Even though he actually really wanted to see them again.
"Besides, I should have chased it away earlier."
The wolf would not die.
Xu Shiqing thought, after all, they don’t actually need me, it’s me who needs them.
System 021 didn't know what to say, so he could only change the subject stiffly, trying to divert attention by throwing out the matter of the agreement. 001 was going to hold back the God of Nature and the consciousness of this world, and 021 had to take advantage of the opportunity to resolve this matter.
Xu Shiqing didn't notice anything wrong. He simply nodded in agreement after hearing the system's explanation, without even reading the regulations.
[Host, I thought you didn’t trust me very much] 021 said.
"...It's all tied to you." Xu Shiqing said helplessly, "I've signed so many agreements, this one won't make a difference, right?"
What if I lied to you?
"It's up to you." Xu Shiqing said, "I don't care whether my wish can be fulfilled or not. Even if something I don't want to do really happens, I still believe in my determination..."
"Besides, we are friends." He turned a page: "Even if you lie to me, I will forgive you."
[…The Space-Time Bureau hopes that your next mission will follow the procedures of the role-playing department.] System 021 said, [You know Protocol Zero, right?]
The Space-Time Bureau is divided into several departments, including the Quick Management Department, the Audit Department, the Role-playing Department, etc. They all have their own instruction manuals for executing tasks. They have different agreements based on the different needs of world consciousness and the different situations of the taskers.
The Quick Management Division's controls are relatively lax. The original owners involved in missions are always marginalized, and their involvement in the world consciousness isn't essential to the plot, requiring no effort on the part of the tasker to deliberately approach the protagonist. However, the Role Playing Division's missions are different. This division's tasks always require the tasker to pretend to be someone else, to guide, approach, and influence the protagonist. This constant stream of socializing and parting ways often leaves the Role Playing Division's personnel overwhelmed.
Thus, Protocol Zero was born.
Its core can be summarized in a simple and easy-to-understand way: after ending a world, the tasker's psychological condition is evaluated to decide whether to strip off and store the tasker's memories and emotions.
Doing so will help reduce the emotional and emotional burden of the tasker. People who are too spiritual are also too sensitive and are prone to depression, which can lead to heartbreaking tragedies.
After listening, Xu Shiqing was silent. He understood the concerns of the system and the Space-Time Bureau. He rubbed his head and said, "I understand. You are right."
The Space-Time Bureau simply wanted him to practice Protocol Zero in the next world; this kindness was self-evident. Xu Shiqing had no reason to reject this kindness for the sake of a vague future "friend."
'Thank you,' he said.
[No, I don’t think we helped you.] 021 was frustrated.
He had no way to take him back to the past, nor could he fulfill his wish to see Gu Yi and the others. All he could do was to accompany Xu Shiqing when he lost him again.
This is useless.
