Chapter 005 Extra: Is the Second Cycle Endless?
She brought him over in a forceful manner, but then said to him, "It's nice to meet you."
What's your name?
Rong Qian smiled and asked, her eyes crinkling.
After they entered the basement, the twins let go of his hand and stood obediently to the side, but their lifeless eyes continued to stare at him.
The young man rotated his wrist and looked at Rong Qian expressionlessly. "I don't have a name."
"All right."
Rong Qian stood up, smiled and walked towards him, her hands behind her back and her head tilted slightly up to look at him. "But more than that, I want to know what that thing inside you is."
He turned his head and gestured for us to sit down: "Please sit down, I'd like to talk to you."
The young man looked at him, "You..."
"Um?"
Rong Qian smiled and looked up, staring straight at him. After two seconds, she lowered her narrowed eyes and asked, "What...do you want to say?"
Something black protruded from his body, looking like a sticky liquid or an ethereal gas.
Black mist spread and gathered, forming a figure. Although the face was not visible, the body shape indicated a young man.
The black figure twisted and completely enveloped Rong Qian.
"Is this what you wanted to say?" Rong Qian's muffled voice came from within.
The young man's lips twitched slightly.
'System, did you say that such a monster exists in this world?'
[Host, this is indeed an ordinary technological world.]
'Hmm, what's in front of me?'
[Sorry, host, the system cannot detect this.]
"system?"
The young man lowered his head, and the boy, who had returned to normal, smiled at him.
Rong Qian sat back down in her chair, her posture obedient. "So the abnormal data fluctuations residing in your body are called a system."
The young man sat down on the chair next to him, crossed his legs, and looked at him. "So you brought me here just for this?"
Rong Qian narrowed her eyes. "Yes."
He smiled and slowly extended his hand toward the young man, looking at him with a beaming smile.
"..."
"Your system allows you to travel freely through the world; I'd like to study this ability."
"It's possible, but I have conditions."
"Okay, I'll pay you back after I finish taking the samples."
Rong Qian still stretched out his hand, gesturing for the young man to extend his hand as well.
The moment their hands touched, a mechanical voice sounded in each of their ears.
[Abnormal data has been compromised; sampling is in progress]
[Note... *buzzing sounds*... The system... has been... hacked... by... unknown... *buzzing sounds*...]
A moment later.
[Sampling complete.]
Rong Qian released his hand, a smile appearing somewhat adorable on his youthful face: "Alright, what are your conditions?"
The young man didn't mince words: "Help me completely disconnect the link between my system and the main system behind it."
He originally planned to wait until he had accumulated enough strength before dealing with this matter, but now... if there is a shortcut, why not take it directly?
“No problem.” Rong Qian nodded and reached out to hold his hand again. “Dawn.”
[clear. ]
[Had infiltrated the 'Evil Collection System' - Initiating data erasure - Modifying data - Initiating permission modification -]
[Revision complete.]
"alright."
The young man withdrew his hand and checked the status of his system.
[The system is loading.]
[The system is restarting.]
[System update successful.]
“If you have nothing else to say, then I’ll have someone send you away.” Rong Qian smiled slightly. “By the way, I’d like to remind you that you won’t be able to collect anything you need in this world. You can try.”
The young man was led away from the underground laboratory by the twins.
He stood by the roadside, looking thoughtfully at the person who happened to pass by, then suddenly pulled out a gun, pointed it at him, and pulled the trigger.
Two sounds rang out in succession.
A gunshot rang out, followed by the sound of a body falling to the ground.
Other passersby were attracted by the sound, but only glanced at it before continuing on their own.
There were no screams, no panic, and no one called the police; it was as if nothing more than the death of an ant had occurred.
The young man sheathed his gun and turned away indifferently.
In this kind of world, you really can't get any sin points.
"System, change the mission world."
[Yes, Master.]
Rong Qian noticed it the moment the young man left.
He didn't care much about it, and just looked at the screen Dawn was projecting in front of him.
The above is an analysis of the "Sin Collection System".
Let Dawn continue her analysis and research, and Rong Qian left the laboratory.
This lifetime.
He died from a alleged home invasion robbery, in which he was stabbed in the throat.
On her 26th birthday.
...
The 725th time.
When Rong Qian opened her eyes this time, she was still five years old.
He was taking a nap alone in his room.
Rong Qian raised her hand to cover her neck, feeling that she couldn't make a sound at all. However, after a few times, she got used to it and recovered in a few seconds.
He got up and left the room.
Gu Hansheng, who was lying on the sofa watching TV and chatting, saw him and immediately smiled, waving at him, "Hey, Xiaoqian's awake, come over here~"
Rong Qian paused slightly, looking at Gu Hansheng with a bright smile.
Gu Hansheng and Rong Sheng were among the few who were not affected.
He walked over and sat down on the sofa, letting Gu Hansheng put his arm around him.
"Xiaoqian, what's wrong? Are you unhappy?"
Noticing that he looked unwell, Gu Hansheng gently cupped his cheek with one hand.
Rong Qian shook her head.
"Could it be that you're not feeling well?" Gu Hansheng immediately tensed up upon voicing this guess.
Rong Qian shook her head again.
"Okay." Gu Hansheng was still a little worried. She kissed Rong Qian on the cheek, patted his head, and whispered, "If you feel unwell or have anything on your mind, be sure to tell Mommy."
Rong Qian nodded.
Seeing that he seemed unwilling to say anything, Gu Hansheng helplessly remained silent and instead switched the TV to cartoons.
Rong Qian stared at the screen, seemingly engrossed in watching an animated film, but in reality, she was completely lost in thought, only occasionally waking up to chat with Dawn.
But soon, he snapped back to his senses, and the intense pain rising in his chest made his body tremble.
Gu Hansheng, who was standing very close to him, also felt the tremor. When he raised his hand, he saw Xiao Rongqian clutching her chest and bending over in pain.
"Xiao Qian!"
In a panic, Gu Hansheng reached out and hugged him from the front, her voice trembling as she asked the nuclear brain to call an ambulance.
Rong Qian was rushed to the hospital.
However, the cause could not be found.
His pain was clearly visible, but no cause for his suffering could be found.
Rong Qian lay on the hospital bed, his breath fogging up the oxygen mask and obscuring his pale face. He slightly opened his eyes and looked at the panicked Gu Hansheng. After a moment, he slowly closed his eyes.
Of course, it can't be found.
After all, it was his soul that was riddled with holes.
Rong Qian stayed in the hospital for two weeks, during which time she experienced heart pain several times, but unfortunately the hospital couldn't do anything about it.
Because he had expressed his unwillingness to stay in the hospital, Gu Hansheng and Rong Sheng took him back home after confirming that the hospital could not treat him.
——
Rong Qian sat alone in her bedroom, idly stroking a small, black rabbit.
He still felt pain coursing through his body, but he seemed oblivious to it.
His "soul" is influencing his "body".
A perfectly intact body will become dilapidated over time.
He could have ended this torment by taking his own life, but unfortunately, in this endless cycle, it wouldn't be the only time.
You'll get used to it.
There was a knock on the door.
Rong Qian stopped what he was doing, and the little black rabbit instantly melted back into his body.
He looked up at the doorway, and Gu Hansheng pushed it open and entered.
Seeing the worry on her face, he sighed silently and murmured something under his breath.
"Xiao Qian? What are you talking about?" Gu Hansheng sat down by the bed.
Rong Qian shook his head, then reached out his hand to her.
"Um?"
Gu Hansheng blinked, smiled, and gently took his hand. Before she could speak, she noticed a dark shape appear behind Rong Qian.
She was stunned for a moment, but the black thing quickly moved up Rong Qian's arm and reached her hand. She didn't even make a sound before she was enveloped by this liquid-like substance.
Soon, the black liquid disappeared, it was unclear whether it returned to Rong Qian's body or entered Gu Hansheng's body.
Seeing Gu Hansheng's blank expression, Rong Qian withdrew her hand.
At the same time, Rong Sheng, who was working at the company, suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart, and a bad premonition lingered in his mind.
He used his nuclear brain to ask Gu Hansheng, and quickly received a reply.
There was only one "It's okay".
After replying to Rong Sheng expressionlessly, Gu Hansheng glanced at Rong Qian indifferently, left with the words "You should lie down and rest," and got up to leave.
Rong Qian looked at the closed door, then looked down at her palms—
A slightly dim ball of light rested quietly in his palm.
