Bai Xiyue tasted the taste of blood.
It was warm, permeating between her lips and teeth, with a nauseating fishy smell.
Her eyes were clear for a moment, then turned into a deeper fierceness.
She had tried very hard to survive.
I try very hard to change what I can, just to survive.
The world suddenly became confusing and it was hard to tell what was real or what was fake.
She bit without mercy, her eyes fixed on the piece of skin in front of her.
Pei Yuzhou's body was stiff, but he didn't push Bai Xiyue away. His body slowly softened as he endured the pain.
He still combed Bai Xiyue's hair patiently with a smile on his face.
As long as it was given by Bai Xiyue, even if it was painful, he would accept it completely.
Pei Yuzhou's bite marks were already bloody. Bai Xiyue was just an ordinary person after all, and did not have the ability to bite a person's throat like a beast.
She couldn't kill him.
"I hate you."
Bai Xiyue's voice was hoarse, and she heard Pei Yuzhou's laughter.
"I know."
Pei Yuzhou held Bai Xiyue's hand, and regardless of Bai Xiyue's wishes, interlocked their fingers.
"Even if you kill me, you can't escape from here."
Pei Yuzhou didn't mind his bloody neck at all and kissed the corner of Bai Xiyue's eye.
This was the perfect cage he had built for her.
No one will be able to find this place in decades, no one will be able to discover it.
Pei Yuzhou's lips were warm, but Bai Xiyue felt they were cold.
The coldness penetrated into her bones and entangled every part of her body.
Disgusting.
That's disgusting.
This kind of morbid, bigoted and unfree love.
Bai Xiyue closed her eyes, and could almost imagine what she would become in the future.
I feel numb and hopeless, and my teeth shudder just thinking about it.
Don't live so tenaciously in the shadow of others.
When all the sharpness and edges were worn away, and he became a docile puppet dependent on others, dull and cowardly, pale and weak, Bai Xiyue felt suffocated just thinking about it.
At the beginning, she didn't think about this.
But now, she really wanted to kill Pei Yuzhou by biting his throat and turning him into a lifeless corpse.
It seemed as if there had never been such a system in her mind, as if the previous rescues and missions she had completed were just her lengthy dreams.
But no fantasy could be so real, so real that she could touch other people's body temperature, so real that she could feel the pain of being killed.
But how come she was suddenly thrown back?
Even if it was just a game with bad intentions, it shouldn't have ended in such a sloppy way without any sequel.
"What are you thinking about?"
Pei Yuzhou looked at her blood-stained red lips and the fire that never went out in her eyes.
It looks really good.
When Pei Yuzhou was about to kiss her, Bai Xiyue turned her head away, letting his lips brush against her face.
Pei Yuzhou didn't bother and just kissed Bai Xiyue on the face.
The stubbornness and affection in his eyes made Bai Xiyue's scalp tingle.
To correct a wrong is to go too far, to correct it is to go too far.
Bai Xiyue wanted to be loved. Who doesn't want someone to love them wholeheartedly?
But the kind of love we need should be moderate, not like this, like a heavy piece of iron, forcing it on her and making her breathless.
Bai Xiyue knew that pretending to be obedient could save her from suffering, but she just didn't want to.
When she was first imprisoned, Pei Yuzhou never tortured her.
He simply left her in this dark and small environment, with her limbs tied up and facing endless loneliness.
Bai Xiyue felt that this was not love, this was torture.
She knew what Pei Yuzhou wanted to see. He wanted to see her completely collapse, to see her unable to leave him and regard him as her only support.
Bai Xiyue endured it until she was in a trance.
Fortunately, the system suddenly appeared, allowing her to take a breath.
Otherwise, she didn't know when she would become what Pei Yuzhou wanted.
"Yueyue, I love you."
Pei Yuzhou's voice rang in her ears like a ghost.
The ghost kept whispering words of love in her ears, tirelessly, over and over again.
Sometimes, Bai Xiyue would be brainwashed after listening to it for so long.
Bai Xiyue closed her eyes wearily, feeling Pei Yuzhou gently touching her face.
The overwhelming feeling of powerlessness almost overwhelmed her.
I try hard to do something, but I just can't finish it.
Bai Xiyue felt a little anxious and a little negative, which mixed together to create an extremely complicated mood.
She doesn't want to see this world anymore.
I don't want to die like this, but I don't want to live like this either.
The air calmed down.
Bai Xiyue thought about the day she came to break up. It was a very ordinary day, with the same weather as usual. The things that happened before she set out seemed unremarkable. At that time, she didn't know that she was on the verge of danger, and just thought of it as an ordinary day in her life.
But as soon as you take a step, the situation changes suddenly.
Bai Xiyue hated the feeling of self-pity, and also hated herself for being helpless now.
She wondered what kind of unknown destination she would end up in if she followed the path planned by the system.
If I had gone back to the steps the system gave me when it was speaking and faced everything, what would it be like now?
Bai Xiyue didn't know if she would regret it in the future, but she definitely wouldn't regret it now.
Abandoning the false light, I returned to this dark world.
In this drowsy state, Bai Xiyue felt that she was falling continuously.
When I opened my eyes again, I saw a beige color in front of me.
She sat up with her hands on her hands, looking around warily.
This is another strange and bad situation.
"Pei Yuzhou?"
No one responded.
Bai Xiyue looked at her hands and legs. They were clean and white, without any trace of being restrained by handcuffs.
This shouldn't happen.
Did he appear in some strange place again?
"System?"
Still no one answered.
Bai Xiyue pinched herself quietly, it hurt.
It was only when she lowered her head and pinched it that Bai Xiyue realized that her clothes were different.
There was a mirror in the room. Bai Xiyue walked over barefoot and saw herself in the mirror.
It was her, or rather, her face.
Bai Xiyue stretched out her hands and looked at the patterns on her palms.
It's her.
Bai Xiyue sat back on the bed, waiting for an explanation of everything.
The silence was broken only after Bai Xiyue looked around the room.
"Miss Bai, did you have a good rest?"
A clear child's voice echoed in the room.
"Generally, who are you?"
Bai Xiyue looked around and spoke into the air.
"I'm here."
The wall in front of me suddenly turned into a projection screen, and a small cartoon dinosaur appeared on it.
"I am your future system. You can call me Kaka."
The little green dinosaur swung its tail and a childish voice came from inside.
"I need an explanation."
"You have participated in our activities before, so we can be considered old friends."
"Who is your old friend?"
Bai Xiyue twitched the corner of her mouth.
"What social harmony department are you from?"
"Well, we had a minor glitch before, so we sent you back to your original world. Now you can choose to continue your mission."
The clicking sound is brisk.
"As long as you collect ten energy points, you can return to the original world. We have compensated you for the malfunction in the previous world. Your current account balance is four points."
"Where is my previous system?"
Bai Xiyue looked at the cartoon dragon on the projection screen.
"Something went wrong and we're currently repairing it."
"I want it, not you."
"Eh? My authority is higher than its. It's just an elementary system."
"I want it."
Bai Xiyue reiterated.
"I'll let you know when it's repaired."
"Now that Miss Bai has rested, can we start the mission?"
"I don't want to do the mission anymore, send me back."
Bai Xiyue stared at the dinosaur, her brain working rapidly.
"We have signed the contract. We cannot stop until the mission is completed."
The little dinosaur's tone was no longer as friendly as before, and his attitude turned cold.
"That's fine. Do whatever you want. Even if you put me in a mission world, I won't do any missions. The worst that can happen is that I will rewind infinitely."
"Ms. Bai, if you don't cooperate like this, it will cause mental damage. It is very likely that you will enter an extreme state and develop a mental illness."
"It doesn't matter."
Anyway, it's not far from crazy.
She even wanted to commit suicide while hugging Pei Yuzhou.
No, she hoped Pei Yuzhou would die on his own.
Bai Xiyue's attitude now is, you can dance as you like, it's none of my business.
She just wanted to see what kind of drugs these weirdos were selling, doing this and that.
"Ms. Bai, you can go back after completing the mission. We will rescue you and give you a sum of money as we agreed before. Don't you want these?"
"In no mood."
Bai Xiyue felt nothing in her heart, and even wanted to rap.
Bai Xiyue calmly took the initiative in her own hands and watched to see what the other party was up to.
"But how will this benefit you?"
"I'm happy."
"Where do you really want to go back to? According to our estimation, you may be killed by Pei Yuzhou in a few days. By then, there will be no chance for you to regret."
"Well? Then what?"
Bai Xiyue even showed an interested smile on her face, and she looked invulnerable to both swords and guns, and could not be attacked by either soft or hard methods.
Kaka was silent for a moment, as if thinking.
"If I die, won't you let me do some tasks?"
Bai Xiyue sneered, looking like she didn't care much.
"Yes, when your vital signs disappear, we will not be able to save you, so you have to seize the opportunity."
"That's not bad. At least you don't have to worry about being caught and used as a laborer after you die."
Bai Xiyue breathed a sigh of relief and was no longer afraid.
I was startled for a moment and then realized that I was being tricked.
"Ms. Bai, can I ask for your reason? I think humans should cherish their lives."
"Do you know what is mankind's greatest weapon?"
Bai Xiyue blinked.
"Head?"
"No," Bai Xiyue shook her head, "It's the determination to risk it all."
If you want to risk your life, you can give it up.
Even the weakest person can burst out with strength.
"I want to hear the truth."
Bai Xiyue looked at the little green dinosaur.
What is the plot behind all this?
The author has something to say: "Do you know what is mankind's greatest weapon?"
“It’s the determination to go all out.”
