It was not until noon that Xie Qi finally opened his eyes slowly. He rubbed his temples, feeling a little dizzy.
Then Xie Qi couldn't help but ask 948, "Is this body sick?"
However, 948's face was filled with worry at this moment. He explained to Xie Qi with a bitter face: "Host, the original owner is not sick."
Hearing this answer, Xie Qi couldn't help but frown and asked, "If I'm not sick, then why am I vomiting blood for no reason?"
He stared at 948, as if wanting to get a reasonable answer from him.
948's expression instantly turned extremely pessimistic, and he even started to wail: "Host, we're really doomed now... wuwuwu!"
Xie Qi was startled by 948's sudden crying and quickly asked, "What's going on? What do you mean by 'finished'?"
948 sat on the edge of the bed, his head hanging weakly, and continued, "Host, every time I choose a host for you, I always pick the one whose soul is most compatible with yours. But this time, there's a big problem with this host."
Xie Qi's heart tightened and he asked, "Big problem?"
948 raised his head and glanced at Xie Qi, saying dejectedly: "A ban has been imposed on his body."
"Ban? What is that?" It was the first time that Xie Qi heard of this strange existence, and he couldn't help but become more curious.
948 took a deep breath and explained in detail, "Simply put, you, the host, cannot be OOC, meaning you cannot do anything the original owner wouldn't do. Furthermore, you must play the role of a traitor and oppose the male protagonist. If you violate these rules, you will experience a sharp pain in your heart, vomit blood, and even lose your life, just like today."
948 continued to explain seriously, "The original owner wasn't as polite as you every time he woke up. He wouldn't let me get up, and sometimes he'd even kick me. That's why you were deemed OOC."
After hearing 948's explanation, Xie Qi couldn't help but feel speechless. He sighed helplessly and said, "I was wondering why this plane was so simple. It turns out there's a trap waiting for me here."
As he spoke, Xie Qi swiftly got off the bed, reached out to take clothes from the hanger, and began to put them on.
During this time, he glanced at 948, then sighed deeply and said soothingly, "Don't be so dejected. Isn't it just playing a 'traitor'? I've seen this kind of plot many times in TV dramas."
However, 948 quickly corrected him, "No, we can't sell out our country, or the mission will fail!"
Xie Qi nodded slightly in agreement, but then changed the subject, a mysterious smile playing on his lips as he replied, "Of course I'll need your help. But who says the only way to do this is to be a traitor? I can also create another identity for myself."
948: "What identity?"
Xie Qi: "A patriotic spy among traitors, an unsung hero in the hearts of the people."
After saying that, Xie Qi narcissistically ruffled his hair with his hand, then raised his head and sighed, "Ah, I am so great."
948 frowned tightly, his face full of suspicion, and asked with a hint of uncertainty in his tone: "Is this really okay?"
Xie Qi, who was standing aside, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a confident smile, and responded: "Is it possible? Just try it and you'll know."
Before he finished speaking, Xie Qi reached out, opened the door, and walked out with big strides.
As soon as Xie Qi walked out of the room, he saw a trembling servant kneeling at the door. The servant immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy, saying, "Master, I'm sorry. This is all my fault. Please spare my life! Wuwuwu..."
At this moment, another servant came up quickly and kicked the servant who was kowtowing and begging for mercy to the ground.
Then, the servant quickly walked up to Xie Qi, bowed respectfully, and said with a smile on his face, "Master, you are finally awake."
At this moment, Xie Qi knew very well that he must not be OOC again. Moreover, the servant in front of him was not a good person at first glance.
Thinking of this, Xie Qi shouted impatiently: "What's going on? Why is this guy kneeling here?"
The servant wore a fawning smile and replied cautiously, "Young Master, the master said that because he didn't take good care of you, he must remain kneeling here until you wake up, and you can do whatever you want with him."
After saying this, the servant, with an extremely flattering look, came forward with a smile and asked softly, "Master, what are you going to do with him?"
Xie Qi looked coldly at the man kneeling on the ground, trembling all over. He frowned slightly, and said in a harsh tone, "Get out of here! I don't have time to deal with you. Go do what you need to do!"
When the servant heard this, he kowtowed immediately and said, "Yes, yes..." After saying this, the servant was afraid that Xie Qi would have time to deal with him again in the next second, so he immediately stood up and ran to work.
Xie Qi was heading towards the main gate of the Xie family mansion. Seeing this, the servants who had been waiting nearby followed their young master's steps and followed closely behind.
When Xie Qi walked onto the bustling street, the originally bustling and noisy market suddenly became silent.
When the vendors setting up stalls on the street saw Xie Qi, they were all terrified.
Passersby hurriedly stepped aside, fearing that they would accidentally block the way for Young Master Xie.
At this moment, Xie Qi deeply realized how bad the original owner's reputation was in this city.
Xie Qi, walking on the road, ignored the gazes of passers-by and asked, "948, where is the male lead now?"
948: "The male protagonist is currently listening to music in a teahouse."
Hearing this answer, Xie Qi couldn't help but be stunned, and then asked in surprise: "Listening to music? My wife actually has such leisure and elegance?"
948: "The hero isn't the only one listening to music in the teahouse. Now that the island nation's queen has moved into the capital, the Cao and Wang families have no choice but to temporarily feign complicity and superficial friendship with them in order to stabilize the current situation. Coincidentally, the queen loves to appreciate Chinese opera, so she always invites the Cao family to go along."
When Xie Qi heard this, he nodded in understanding and immediately went towards the teahouse.
