Three? And they can be used in combination?
Qin Xiao couldn't care less about complaining about Yun Yiyi's system refresh mechanism, which always seemed to work by accident at crucial moments. He stared intently at Shu Rou, whose laughter was becoming increasingly manic and infatuated, and quickly weighed his options.
"Which three? Tell me quickly!"
"The first one is... the 'Yandere Core Module Targeted Removal Device'!" Yun Yiyi's voice carried a hint of pride, as if she were showing off a treasure. "The second one is the 'Innocent and Sweet Personality High Compatibility Overwrite Package'! The third one is the 'Unconditional Devotion Emotional Circuit Implantation Program (Bonus: Lucky Star Temporary Pendant)'!"
As Qin Xiao listened to these increasingly outrageous system names, the veins on his forehead began to throb again.
A yandere core stripped away? A naive and innocent rewrite? Unconditional devotion? And a lucky star charm included?
What the hell is going on!
But right now, he had no better choice. Shu Rou's whispered words, "I'll turn you into a game cartridge and 'play' with you every day," still echoed clearly in his ears, sending chills down his spine.
"Just these three! Immediately! Right now! Load them all! Use them on her!" Qin Xiao roared in his mind.
"Okay...okay, host!" Yun Yiyi seemed to be startled by Qin Xiao's resolute decision and immediately began to operate.
Almost the instant Qin Xiao gave the order, a soft white light, imperceptible to others and mixed with some pink and gold specks, surged from Qin Xiao's body, like mercury spilling onto the ground, instantly enveloping Shu Rou, who was approaching step by step, preparing to implement the "imprisonment plan".
Shu Rou's infatuated smile suddenly froze.
Her hand, which was reaching for Qin Xiao, froze in mid-air. In her shimmering peach blossom eyes, the surging madness and possessiveness rippled violently like the surface of a lake tossed with a boulder.
“Qin Baobao…you…” She seemed to realize something, a hint of confusion and struggle flashing in her eyes.
But the white light grew stronger, pink specks of light danced around her like mischievous sprites, and golden specks of light, like fine stardust, slowly merged into her brow.
Shu Rou's body began to tremble slightly, and the madness in her eyes quickly faded, replaced by a sense of bewilderment, then clarity, and finally, a kind of... naive innocence.
She blinked, then blinked again, looking at Qin Xiao who was so close to her. Her eyes gradually cleared from confusion, and finally, a big, untroubled smile slowly spread across her lips.
"Hey! Brother Qin Xiao!"
This call was as sweet and gentle as if it were freshly baked, completely different from the sickly "Qin Baobao" of before.
Qin Xiao was startled and looked at her warily, momentarily confused.
Is that all?
Shu Rou tilted her head, looking at the photos on the ground, then at Qin Xiao, a shy blush creeping onto her face. She squatted down and carefully picked up the photos one by one, gently patting off the dust, her movements as tender as if handling rare treasures.
"Brother Qin Xiao, why are all your photos on the floor? Oh my, this one is of you playing basketball, you look so handsome! This one is of you in a meeting, you look so stylish! Wow, this one... did you just take a shower? Your skin looks so good..."
As she tidied up, she let out soft exclamations of amazement, her eyes sparkling with pure admiration and a touch of... infatuation.
Qin Xiao: "..."
He felt his CPU was overheating.
This transformation is too fast! From an ultimate yandere who wanted to turn him into a game cartridge, she instantly became... a little fangirl who can only shout "Brother is so handsome"?
"Yun Yiyi," Qin Xiao asked in his mind, "did she succeed?"
"Reporting to the host! The 'Yandere Core Module Targeted Stripper' has successfully stripped the target's abnormal core module! The 'Innocent and Sweet Personality High-Compatibility Overwrite Package' has been successfully overwritten! The 'Unconditional Devotion Emotional Circuit Implantation Program' has been successfully implanted! The bonus 'Lucky Star Temporary Pendant' has also taken effect! The target, Shu Rou, is theoretically... um... completely transformed!" Yun Yiyi's voice carried a hint of smugness.
In theory?
Qin Xiao watched as Shu Rou carefully folded the photos one by one, then held them in her arms like treasures. She stood up, her large, watery eyes looking at him expectantly: "Brother Qin Xiao, can I have these photos? I... I'll keep them safe!"
Those eyes were pure and innocent, filled with the pleading of a small animal.
Qin Xiao's lips twitched: "...Take it if you like it."
"Great!" Shu Rou cheered, hugging the photo even tighter. Then, as if remembering something, she wrinkled her small nose in distress. "But... Brother Qin Xiao, I think... I've made a bit of a mess here." She pointed to the tilted display cabinet and the throwing knife still stuck in the wall. "And... I think I even hit you just now... Did I do something wrong?"
Her big eyes quickly filled with tears, and she looked at Qin Xiao pitifully, as if she was about to cry: "Brother Qin Xiao, please don't be angry, okay? I... I didn't mean to... I'll never do it again..."
Looking at her like this, Qin Xiao felt a complex mix of emotions.
The previous Shu Rou, though insane, was at least a mentally capable opponent. This one... looks like a child who needs to be coaxed.
"It's okay," Qin Xiao tried to make his voice sound gentle. "I'm not angry."
"Really?" Shu Rou's eyes lit up, then she asked cautiously, "Then... Brother Qin Xiao, are you in some trouble? Mom, Dad, and Ruoyan all seem unhappy... Are you short of money? I have lots and lots of money! Brother Qin Xiao, can I give you all my money? You can buy whatever you want!"
