Chapter 1: Can the system still run away?
On a sweltering summer afternoon, as the green light came on, a bustling crowd poured into the bustling and wide crossroads like a tide.
A promotional video for a horror movie is playing on the conspicuous 3D screen in the CBD building opposite.
The trapped giant monster kept hitting the glass with its claws, opening its bloody mouth full of sharp teeth and roaring at the crowd below. The glass was full of cracks, as if the monster was about to break out of its shell at any time.
Perhaps because the visual effects were too realistic, people would stop to watch from time to time, and even let out a small exclamation.
However, most people are already accustomed to it, and they walk into the tall buildings in a hurry with indifferent expressions.
The green light came on again, and the crowd who had been standing on the side of the road for a long time crossed the road and walked across the street.
“Crack—”
The sharp and piercing sound of brakes pierced the air, accompanied by a huge crash. The crowd that had been orderly just now suddenly became chaotic.
"Someone got hit by a car!"
"After being hit like this...I'm afraid he won't survive, right?"
"Have you called the police? Have you called 120?"
"Someone come and help! He's almost dying!"
More and more people gathered around, and soon the busy intersection was completely blocked.
After a while, traffic police arrived at the scene and began to evacuate the crowd.
Several young people who squeezed in to watch the excitement were forced to retreat with the crowd, but they were caught off guard and bumped into a girl who was standing still behind them.
One of them turned around and complained: "What are you doing standing here..."
However, the moment his eyes met that girl's, he swallowed back the rest of his words.
That face was very bright and attractive, with delicate eyebrows and curled eyelashes, especially the beautiful light brown pupils, which made people unable to take their eyes off.
But her brows were furrowed, and her whole body was shrouded in low pressure, and she looked obviously in a bad mood.
"What's up?"
The girl threw out two words coldly.
The young man choked, waved his hands and took a step back: "No, no..."
Although she is very beautiful, she obviously looks like someone who is not easy to mess with.
Yan Chu was in a really bad mood at the moment.
She had just been in a serious car accident, and when she opened her eyes she found herself inexplicably in this strange place.
Not only that, there was a voice in her head that kept playing the same sentence over and over again -
【Congratulations on traveling into a book! 】
【Congratulations on traveling into a book! 】
【Congratulations on traveling into a book! 】
It was as if he was afraid that she didn't know she was in a book. His annoyance was comparable to the loud speaker for discount sales in a shopping mall.
Yan Chu took a deep breath: "Can you be quiet for a moment?"
The young man beside her looked at her in surprise:???
Yan Chu: "...I didn't say you."
The annoying voice in my head suddenly stopped. After a pause, it finally said its second sentence of the day:
[Okay! Now let me introduce you to the characters' backgrounds.]
And the character background?
[You are the vicious female supporting character in this apocalyptic novel.]
That simple sentence pierced her heart.
She? The vicious female supporting character?
[You snatched resources, backstabbed your teammates, and framed the heroine many times.]
Yan Chu: “…”
[Later, he even acted on his own, resulting in the annihilation of the team that came to rescue you.]
Yan Chu: "...wouldn't it be fine if you just told me you wanted me dead?"
[You are indeed dead, but not only you, but also the hero and heroine and all the team members are dead. ]
???
Yan Chu: "Do you want to listen to what you are saying? Is this a plot written by humans?"
[It doesn't matter, you just need to complete the mission of the vicious female supporting character and bravely face death in the end!]
“…”
Yan Chu pulled the corner of his mouth expressionlessly: "Hurry up and send it back to me, I can just die directly, and it will save so many steps."
After all, she is the eldest daughter of the Yan Group. Why should she suffer like this here?
"Are you really not going to reconsider this? You'll get eighty years of life as a reward after completing the mission, right?"
Yan Chu: “?”
Yan Chu: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I'll take this mission."
【……】
The book-traveling system seemed to be choked by Yan Chu's extraordinary change of expression, and it took a while to react.
[So let's start now...eh?]
The system was silent for a moment, then suddenly let out a terrified scream—
[It’s over, it’s over, how did He Fan die! ]
Yan Chu blinked: "He Fan? Who is that?"
At this moment, some vague memories in her mind suddenly became clear.
Last night, when she was bored and watching short videos before going to bed, she accidentally clicked on an advertisement and jumped into a post-apocalyptic novel.
This is the name of the male protagonist in that apocalyptic novel!
She was thinking about the lecture she had to attend the next day, so she glanced at it for a while and then left.
Before exiting, she flipped through the table of contents and it took her a long time to get to the end.
The book has a total of two thousand chapters, but in the final ending, the protagonists were actually wiped out by the Zombie King.
"What kind of abstract ending is this? Is the author crazy?"
At that time, I even made a complaint.
As a result, she was involved in a car accident on the way to a lecture early the next morning.
After all the clues matched up, Yan Chu was completely paralyzed.
It turns out that the culprit is this book!
**
Perhaps He Fan's death confused the system, and the system disappeared after saying a few random words.
Yan Chu also understood, after all, he was the male lead.
But if the male protagonist dies, how will the novel continue?
Does her eighty-year life still count?
Actually, she can act without a male lead, really.
Ten minutes passed and there was still no response from the system.
In the overly hot summer, even the air seems damp and sticky.
Yan Chu fanned himself with his hands, looked around, and decided to find a cool place to sit for a while.
As she turned to leave, she heard several young people beside her discussing in low voices:
"Hey, the one who got into the car accident, is that He Fan?"
"He Fan? No way?"
"I feel...it looks like it."
Yan Chu paused and looked back in surprise in the direction of the car accident.
She hadn't paid much attention to the car accident before, thinking it was just a coincidence.
By now the ambulance had arrived, and a man covered in blood was carefully carried into the ambulance.
So, the person who had the car accident was He Fan?
...It's so miserable, just as miserable as her.
After watching the ambulance leave, Yan Chu waited for nearly an hour, and his patience was almost exhausted.
How long do we have to wait?
At this moment, a prompt sound suddenly rang in her ears:
【System unbinding successful.】
Yan Chu:?
Wait, that guy really ran away?
Just leave her here?
Just when I was at a loss, the prompt sounded again:
【System binding successful.】
Yan Chu: “……?”
She felt like she was being tricked.
At this moment, something that looked like a potato appeared in front of her, with a cute loli voice.
[Master, your system cutie is here! ]
This potato is the system?
Yan Chu's eye twitched, and he was about to complain about what the unbinding and binding were doing, but suddenly realized that something was wrong.
She narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at the potato floating in the air: "Are you and the previous one in the same system?"
[Of course not, it's a book-traveling system, and I'm a cheat system.]
Yan Chu: “……?”
How is it a plug-in system?
Where's the book-traveling system? Where's her eighty-year lifespan?
Perhaps sensing the slight disdain in Yan Chu's eyes, Potato stood with his hands on his hips in dissatisfaction.
[Don't look at me like this, in the system world, my popularity is much higher than the book-traveling system! ]
Yan Chu: “…”
Yan Chu: "So what's going on?"
[The thing is, I originally belonged to the male protagonist He Fan's system, but due to He Fan's accidental death...]
"You just picked the nearest one and tied it up?" Yan Chu blinked.
Potato immediately retorted:
[How is that possible? You are the new master I carefully selected! ]
