Chapter 25: Blood Clan Ancient Text (Bloodstain) 01 Restarting Three Times...
[Novice mission data settlement successful, mission completion rating 100%.]
A familiar mechanical sound rang in her head. She had heard it when she first bound the system.
When Song Qingqing woke up and sat up, she was met with a pair of inorganic silver-gray eyes. She was stunned for a moment and was a little unable to react.
She was in a silver-white environment that seemed to have no end. In front of her stood a strange guy in a white lab coat. He looked good, but he looked different from a normal person.
The man didn't say anything, so Song Qingqing quietly raised her eyes and observed him. Her action was actually very obvious from a condescending perspective, but she thought she hadn't been discovered.
His eyes were a cold silver-gray, his long eyelashes were snow-white, and coupled with his silver hair, he looked distant and indifferent, like some kind of hard, cold metal.
His thin lips were slightly parted, and even his voice had a cold, metallic quality.
"Tasker, congratulations on passing the novice mission."
He said congratulations, but there was no joy on his face, only a cold and businesslike expression.
When he started talking, Song Qingqing suddenly realized that this voice was the voice of the system, so the "person" in front of her was her system?
"I'm your guidance system, RE01." As if sensing the doubt in her eyes, RE01 slowed his speech. Thinking about her performance on this mission, he paused calmly before continuing, "Do you need me to review the mission for you?"
Theoretically, excellent taskers do not need it. They pursue the ultimate task completion rate and only seek efficiency. People, things, and emotions in the task world are useless burdens to them.
However, there are also less qualified taskers who will indulge in the illusory emotions in the task world, forget their own task goals, get lost in these worlds, and eventually be assimilated.
In order to prevent such dangerous mission emergencies, the space will be equipped with a corresponding emotional data dilution system.
After the emotional data has faded, there is usually no need to review the task unless the task fails.
As she can achieve a 100% completion rate for novice tasks, she is undoubtedly a tasker with great potential.
In other words, you will not be bound by the people and emotions in the mission.
RE01 analyzed rationally. From the perspective of general human cognition, they might be evaluated with derogatory words, but from his perspective, getting lost in the mission world is a manifestation of rationality out of control. It is wrong and should not exist... It is reasonable to be wiped out.
In other words, if she succeeds in her mission, she won't need to review the mission as an unnecessary step.
"all right."
Song Qingqing curiously moved closer to her system and looked up at the silver-white weirdo in front of her who was completely inhuman. She always felt that there was a cold aura about RE01.
But she was indeed very curious about the mission world and wanted to know the plot development of the whole book. She liked listening to stories very much. It was like watching other people's life development. The feeling was very wonderful.
RE01 paused subtly for a moment, her long snow-white eyelashes drooped slightly, and her silver-gray eyes stared motionlessly at Song Qingqing who was looking up at her.
"So, tasker, what information do you need?"
Song Qingqing fell into deep thought, and the system space instantly became quiet. RE01 was not in a hurry and quietly waited for her tasker. After a long time, she said, "Can you tell me the complete plot of the original book?"
RE01 said nothing, observing her with his cold, calm, metallic eyes.
The girl's eyes sparkled, and she looked not like a calm, rational, and efficient task performer, but more like a...novel reader who was following the latest updates.
And it is because the original book had a bad ending that readers came to the system to follow the updates.
RE was silent for a fraction of a second, but only in that fraction of a second, he organized his human language to explain the plot of the original book to Song Qingqing, "You should have seen the twin sister of the male protagonist Wen Yuxi. Yes, she is the young human woman you met at school."
"She is the heroine in the original storyline."
Song Qingqing was silent for a moment after hearing this, and thought hard: "You just said that Wen Yuxi is the male lead, and his sister is the female lead?"
"Yes," RE01 stated calmly. "The author's original plot outline had her as the heroine, but many readers, due to the previous plot, preconceived the idea that the ghost bride, Wen Yuxi, was the heroine. So much so that when the real heroine appeared in Chapter 600, the reader forum erupted in protest."
"Chapter 600?"
Song Qingqing raised her eyes to look at RE01, staring at him seriously and doubtfully.
RE01 nodded, confirming that his data was correct. "The original plot outline was a complete breakdown of values, character design, and plot. After the heroine appeared, Wen Yuxi turned evil and went down the path of a yandere, never to return. The final ending was the death of all the protagonists, and Wen Yuxi was sent to the eighteen levels of hell by a ghost messenger. His punishment included but was not limited to walking on a mountain of swords and diving into a sea of fire."
Song Qingqing: “…”
She is thinking.
Song Qingqing frowned slightly, "You mean, all the protagonists are dead, the male and female protagonists are dead?"
RE01 was actually quite confused. Before Song Qingqing went off to carry out the mission, he also made a judgment on the behavior of the characters in the plot outline. The logic system determined that all the character behaviors and emotions were within the reasonable range of human behavior logic.
"Yes, the heroine was killed by Wen Yuxi after experiencing a torturous love affair and unrequited love. Taoist Lin Hanchuan was killed by Wen Yuxi on the eve of his nineteenth birthday. Shen Zhe also died in an accident during a mission investigation because he hindered Wen Yuxi from helping the evil spirit to seek revenge."
"Out of a morbid mentality, the yandere and darkened Wen Yuxi deliberately approaches the heroine, leading her on a love journey that divides the paths of a human and a ghost."
Song Qingqing didn't know what to say for a moment. It was the first time she felt so complicated that she didn't know how to describe it.
Wen Yuxi acted harmless in front of her, not as crazy as the system said?
She felt a little upset when she thought that the cheerful and lively girl she met by chance at school, who was Wen Yuxi's sister, would be killed by Wen Yuxi, who acted completely harmless in front of her.
RE01 concluded: "In short, the original plot is so utterly distorted that it's boycotted by the vast majority of readers."
"So, you, the tasker, completed this mission very well, repairing the broken plot line. This exceeded the system's estimate of your mission completion."
Song Qingqing tried hard to digest this huge amount of information.
RE01 opened the data panel and said calmly, "Tasker, would you like to start the next mission? The mission synopsis has been loaded."
Song Qingqing sighed and stopped thinking about the contents of that mission world. At least the result was good, and that was enough.
But before heading off to the next quest world...
Sitting on the floor of the space, Song Qingqing looked up at RE01, who seemed to have no emotion in front of her. She reached out and touched the sleeve of the other's white lab coat. The texture was very strange, a bit like cold soft metal.
RE01 lowered his eyes, and his calm gaze fell quietly on Song Qingqing's fingers that were pulling his sleeve. The fingers were slender and white, with a beautiful pink tint on the fingertips.
"Is there any other information you need?"
Seeing that RE01 did not reject her contact, Song Qingqing thought for a moment, and her fingers slid down slightly, touching his cold fingers.
It does not have human body temperature, but is made of metal tissue.
RE01 heard the soft-looking girl accusing him in a soft voice.
"RE01, you didn't clearly indicate Wen Yuxi's identity in the plot outline..."
Song Qingqing bit her lip and said everything she was thinking: "At first I also thought Wen Yuxi was the heroine, and I almost made the wrong judgment and choice."
If he made a wrong choice, he would probably be killed by the dangerous Wen Yuxi, and the mission would fail.
RE01 was silent for a second.
"Sorry, it was an oversight by the system. Considering the respect for the setting of the original plot outline, this part was also retained when the mission world plot outline was transferred."
Song Qingqing stared at RE01's silver eyes seriously, muttering to herself in her heart, not knowing whether this system did it intentionally or accidentally.
RE01 looked away, his voice cold.
"Accidentally."
ah?
Before Song Qingqing could come to her senses, a familiar mechanical sound rang out in the space as the accusation system secretly received her psychological data.
[There are only 10 seconds left for the mission review. Please prepare for the mind transfer.]
[Consciousness is being transmitted...]
Song Qingqing lost consciousness immediately. Before she even had the time to ask the system what the next world would be like, when she opened her eyes again, she found herself in a rose garden. The surrounding bright red roses were in full bloom, and from a distance they looked like balls of blooming blood.
Her fingertips felt a little sore, so she looked down.
The white fingertips may have been scratched by the thorns on the rose stem, and bright red blood was oozing out.
Her head was a little dazed and her whole body was weak, and she fell to the ground uncontrollably.
This body is still afraid of blood?
The result was that Song Qingqing died twice before receiving the mission plot outline.
Yes, twice...
Even Song Qingqing, who was emotionally stable, became a little silent.
When I met RE01 for the third time in the system space, the two of them were speechless.
The space was silent for a long moment, and then RE01 said calmly, "If the mission fails for the third time, this world will be sealed until a qualified taskmaster can restart it."
What she meant was that if she failed for the third time, she would skip the task.
Song Qingqing sighed deeply under the silent gaze of System RE01. She felt helpless.
Of course, Song Qingqing said that she was still a little surprised that she could skip the failed mission world.
After restarting the computer for the third time, Song Qingqing opened her eyes and saw her finger bleeding. She reacted faster than ever before and put the cut finger into her mouth, trying hard to suck out all the blood.
Although, the feeling of the iron smell with a sweet and fishy flavor spreading in the mouth is not particularly pleasant.
But Song Qingqing had no choice. This was the only solution at the moment.
The first two deaths were a bit confusing. There was no pain at all. You could even say that the feeling before death was very comfortable... It's very addictive.
This is not right.
Song Qingqing vaguely remembered dying twice, in different arms, cold fangs and gentle embraces, it was like a horror story.
