Chapter 1
This is a mysterious realm independent of time and space.
The snow-white space made it impossible to distinguish east, west, south, and north, and even the concepts of up and down became blurred. There were countless flickering shadows in the air and underfoot. Although only their general outlines could be seen, some of them did not resemble human forms. This made people feel a fear of the unknown in this mysterious space.
In the center of this strange space, a strange development that is completely out of place in the environment is now taking place.
A glowing ball was earnestly advising the young man in front of it: "You are really not suitable for acting."
Bai Yun was not convinced: "Look at my face and say it again."
System: ...
I have never met such a narcissistic person in my life.
The system wanted to scold, but for the sake of KPI, it had to get rid of this ancestor as soon as possible, so it swallowed its anger and tactfully tried to save the country in a roundabout way: "Although you don't quite meet the requirements of my movie star training system, but we have known each other for so long, I can help you transfer to the stupid beauty lying win system next door. The business scope there is wider, and you can also act."
——Although it sounds a bit weird because of the resentment in my heart.
Bai Yun shook her head: "But even if we take away the advantage of my face, my acting skills are still remarkable."
If that's the case, why would I be here talking to you???
Bai Yun was still nagging at the side: "But I have to admit that I have felt a bottleneck recently. If I want to break through, it will not be very beneficial to simulate performances in space as usual. I have to act with real people."
He turned his head and looked at the system: "So when will you let me out?"
The system finally couldn't help but say, "If I let you go, I'm afraid I'll be ruined."
Bai Yun looked at him in surprise: "It turns out you are quite humorous."
System: “…”
After cursing Bai Yun eight million times in his heart, the system suddenly had an idea and suggested: "How about this, I will transfer you to the vest role-playing system next door."
It highly recommends: "Not only can you act there, but by adjusting the matching degree, you can also further obtain the vest's emotions and way of thinking, which can be called a ghost-possessed performance. It will definitely work wonders for actors like you who... have not made any breakthroughs for a long time."
The young man straightened up after hearing this. The system saw that he was interested and pressed on: "Think about it, you are in the role, you know you are acting, but others don't know, so once you do something that is inconsistent with the character setting, everyone will notice it."
"This is a great test of acting skills!"
Bai Yun tried to imagine this scene and was actually quite moved.
The system had finally convinced this ancestor, so there was no time for him to regret. When he realized that there was still a glimmer of hope for his half-dead career, he ran to the resentful colleague with his people and pushed Bai Yun over.
The Vest System is a bit more advanced than the Movie Actor System, in that it has four extra slender limbs, and its body has also grown. It is no longer a complete sphere, but more like an ellipse, and looks like a glowing egg with four toothpicks stuck in it.
The vest system and the best actor system were originally developed at the same time, and in fact, during the initial assessment, the best actor system's performance was slightly better.
But ever since it encountered Bai Yun, the complainer, the Movie Emperor System has never made any progress at work. It is no longer on the internal employee rankings, and there are even rumors among some of its peers that it fell in love with a host and eloped secretly.
But after today, everything will be different!
The three-year period has come to an end, and this system is going to take back everything that belongs to it!
The vest role-playing system looked at the colleague who had just entered the room with a look of great success, and slowly typed out a question mark: "What's wrong with you?"
Movie King System: "Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask."
Vest system: “???”
Without waiting for the other party to respond, the Movie Emperor System said to itself, "Didn't you say before that you were too busy here? I sent you a new person."
"I have something urgent to do, so I'll leave first."
After saying this, it disappeared in a flash as if it was being chased by a ghost.
Bai Yun and the vest system were left staring at each other.
Vest System: "...Sorry for the trouble. I have to train another newcomer right away."
After an unknown senior accidentally broke through the dimensional wall, hosts from various parallel worlds poured in at once. For a while, a rare and strange situation of "the system has fewer people than people" appeared.
In this situation, the Lord God quickly issued a new rule, which is that the host can decide for himself whether to complete the task alone with only a non-intelligent auxiliary system.
But this choice is more for old hosts. Most new hosts need to complete novice tasks under the assistance and supervision of the systems. After making sure that the new hosts have some idea of what they are doing and will not suffer a bloody defeat at the beginning, the systems will let go little by little.
By the way, Bai Yun and the Movie Emperor System were stuck at this stage before.
The vest system scratched its head with its short hands and asked, "Can you wait until I'm done?"
Although Bai Yun had not understood it in detail before, because she had stayed in the mission hall for a long time, she had some idea of the duration of the vest-type missions.
Unless you die as soon as you land, the time to complete a vest-type mission basically ranges from a few weeks to a few months. It is not uncommon for it to take years.
For a system with a slow concept of time, this might just be the time it takes to go out, and even the food in the refrigerator can still be eaten when he returns. But Bai Yun had been idle for so long and really didn't want to wait any longer, so he suggested, "Why don't I go by myself?"
The vest system "looked" at him with its egg-shell face without any facial features, and its voice revealed doubt: "Can you do it?"
Bai Zhu replied confidently: "Don't worry, it's no problem."
Bai Zhu's face is very deceptive, and people who don't know his true colors can be easily fooled.
The vest system knew nothing about the young man's true strength. It remembered that this was sent by the Movie King System and estimated that he really had some foundation, so it stopped worrying about it.
What it didn't expect was what consequences such a small misunderstanding would lead to.
*
After passing through the invisible barrier of the world, the pain found Bai Yun before his consciousness truly returned.
Generally speaking, when experiencing great pain, the body's self-protection mechanism will be stimulated, and a large amount of adrenaline will be secreted to support important organs. Only after it is diluted by the blood over time will the delayed, piercing pain be felt.
Bai Yun's current condition made him wonder if there was something wrong with his body functions.
Or is he not a living person at all now?
A certain cold yet active energy was roiling under Bai Yun's flesh, as if it wanted to tear his skin and break through the restraints of his body. The excessive pain made the young man's eyes go black, and he was unable to detect the condition of his surroundings at all.
[It has been detected that the host's mental fluctuations exceed the safe value. Do you choose to abandon the mission? 】
...Of course not!
Bai Yun's chaotic consciousness regained a bit of clarity.
He was finally released, no one can think of letting him go back so easily!
With this in mind, Bai Yun made a quick judgment. His consciousness moved slightly, and the matching degree with the vest was almost perfected in an instant.
Before being thrown into the mission world, Bai Yun briefly checked the identity of the vest he had drawn.
The alias that Bai Yun drew this time, Uchiha Obito, was born in a world where children are taught how to hold weapons without getting hurt before they can use chopsticks, and a world where a child who has not yet reached double digits will be pushed onto the battlefield early.
A world where Uchiha Obito, who had just turned thirty, had more than twenty years of practical combat experience.
Although the power system will be slightly adjusted according to the different world views, the vest's own experience and memory will not change. Chakra and cursed power are not exactly the same thing, but by analogy, one of the world bosses is definitely stronger than Bai Yun, who has been living under the red flag and has never been exposed to mysterious power before encountering the system.
The effect of increasing the matching degree is immediate.
The surging cursed energy roared and contracted towards a certain center in his body, and then flowed throughout the body in a more soothing manner according to the guidance of the meridians, subtly strengthening and protecting the body.
The pain slowly faded away, and blurry images gradually appeared in front of my eyes.
It is probably late at night now, a full moon hangs in the sky, and all around is a forest with a gap that looks like it was hit by a cannon. There is a lake under my feet, and in front of me is the ceiling of this world that I have been in for who knows how long, the natural enemy of the curses.
“…”
With the match being too high, the memories of Uchiha Obito filled Bai Yun's mind. The image of a man with gray hair overlapped with Gojo Satoru in front of him for a moment, but the young man reacted quickly.
He is not him.
Half of Gojo Satoru's face is covered by an eye patch, making it difficult to judge his true emotions.
"Have you finally come to your senses? That's great. I was wondering how you would make up for the time you wasted if you couldn't understand what people were saying."
Gojo Satoru put his hands in his pockets, looking nonchalant, and stepped on the calm lake surface in an unscientific way.
The tinnitus made Gojo Satoru's voice unclear, but Bai Yun could still make out the calmness in it.
"Since I've waited so long, how about you talk to me?"
Last night, Gojo Satoru was ambushed by an unregistered special-grade cursed spirit on his way to Principal Yega.
Although the cursed spirit with the volcano head was of average strength (to him), and was quickly defeated, he was rescued by another companion who seemed to be of the same level before Gojo Satoru could torture him to extract any useful information.
Cursed spirits that have never appeared before and have intelligence that can communicate normally with humans, and they appear in groups, so there must be some unknown conspiracy behind them.
So today when the assistant supervisors came to the crime scene to clean up the aftermath, Gojo Satoru followed along, wanting to see if there were any clues that they had missed.
As a result, he really found something strange.
The appearance of a cursed spirit is usually related to the reason for its birth. Humanoid cursed spirits are already a minority among them, not to mention the one in front of him who looks no different from a living person.
You know, even the rare occurrence of a curse that occurs when a human being is transformed after death will basically be distorted by the tremendous power of the curse, from thoughts to bodies, becoming a completely different existence from when they were alive.
This is the embodiment of the huge, unbridgeable chasm between life and death.
The cursed spirit in front of him seemed to be completely unaffected. If it hadn't lost its heaving chest and the cursed power that was roaring and surging not long ago, it would have looked like an unlucky creature in some fantasy works whose soul had left the body due to various accidents.
The cursed spirit remained silent, and Gojo Satoru didn't care. He continued speaking, "Well, the first question."
"Who are you looking at through me?"
