"In that case, the original owner's wish has already been fulfilled?" Leng Yue suddenly realized. "What's the point of a mission then?"
Zero had transformed into a cute little boy, constantly admiring himself in the mirror in the space. Only when he heard Leng Yue's question did he put down the mirror.
“Although the original owner already knows who harmed her, she has no intention of coming back. She said she wants to be reincarnated and have a completely new life.” Zero said, sending the original owner’s last message to Leng Yue.
Leng Yue glanced at it. "Does she want to get revenge?"
Zero shook her head. "She didn't say, but it seems she didn't want to." As she spoke, Zero remembered something else. "Oh right, I remember she seemed to say something like, 'So it's because of Father? It seems there really is no hatred without a cause in this world,' and then she left."
Leng Yue looked at the message in her hand; it contained only a few words: "Fated one, I hope you cherish this life. Best wishes."
"Do you think it's because she's kind or something else?" For the first time, Leng Yue didn't directly call her a saint.
The original owner of this body clearly had a chance to start over; she had the opportunity to turn the tables and take revenge on the female lead. But she chose to turn away and even offered her blessings to a complete stranger before leaving. It's truly baffling!
Unlike the previous Jianjia, who evoked a sense of disappointment at her lack of ambition, Leng Yue felt a pang of sympathy for the original owner of this body.
It's easy for people to become obsessed and lose their way in life; it's truly difficult to achieve complete enlightenment.
The female protagonist is obsessed with revenge; in fact, she lost her way after being reborn. She never felt she was wrong; in her mind, everyone else was at fault. Therefore, she needs to constantly take revenge on others to resolve the hatred in her heart.
However, this is only a temporary solution. Who can guarantee that she won't encounter something in her life that touches upon her deepest wounds and causes her to turn to the dark side again?
Happiness sometimes truly comes from the heart. Like the female protagonist, if the knot in her heart isn't untied, this ticking time bomb will remain with her for the rest of her life.
The reborn female lead is willful and carefree, seemingly living a better life than anyone else, but no one knows whether the scars in her heart have healed.
Leng Yue thought, perhaps the original owner was too clear-headed, which is why she didn't want this life riddled with holes? Every time she woke up in the middle of the night, she was still affected by that untouchable yet unforgettable pain, right?
Perhaps the original owner saw all this clearly, which is why, after all that back and forth, he decisively left to seek a new life.
"Yueyue, why didn't you call her a saint this time?" Ling asked, puzzled. In the previous fantasy world, Leng Yue had called the female lead a saint. How come the same act of repaying evil with kindness received such different evaluations?
"Of course it's different. Jianjia has amnesia, but creatures in the immortal realm have long lifespans. Even if she goes back, the people who hurt her will still be the same people. In that case, the most satisfying thing to do is to take direct revenge!"
"But this time is different. For the original owner, the past life has already happened, and the pain of the past life cannot be healed. They say out of sight, out of mind, and although such an escapist attitude is not good, isn't it also a way of letting go and redeeming oneself?"
"Therefore, after figuring all this out, the original owner chose to forget the past and start anew."
Leng Yue talked a lot, and the more she talked, the more convinced she became of her point. She couldn't help but show off to Ling, "How about it? Haven't I become much more enlightened?"
“But even so, she can come back and live a life that avoids harm and seeks benefit, right?” Zero ignored Leng Yue’s self-praise and instead raised her own question, “Why doesn’t she come back and enjoy life again? After all, she suffered so much in her previous life, what’s wrong with having the opportunity to come back and take control of her life again?”
Leng Yue thought about it carefully for a while before answering softly, "I guess if the original owner were to return to her familiar body and face familiar people, she would inevitably remember all the unbearable things from her past life. Then, she would inevitably act on emotion. Anyone would break down when faced with such torment, both physically and mentally."
"So at this point, should she seek revenge or not? If she doesn't want revenge, she doesn't want to be blinded by hatred, but she can't truly let go. How can she enjoy life properly then? Rather than living a life of resentment, it would be easier to forget everything and start over."
"As I always say, don't get stuck on things. Sometimes you really don't have to make things too hard on yourself."
"Moreover, I think their kind of mission world where people can be reborn is pretty unreliable and boring."
"Why?" Ling seemed to understand, but he didn't quite get it. He didn't understand why Leng Yue would suddenly say something like that.
"Look, if the female lead can be reborn because she has the female lead halo, then what about the original owner? What was her reason? These two can all be reborn, and in the end, isn't it just that you mess with my past life, and I'll create your future life? It's a vicious cycle, is it interesting?" Leng Yue got goosebumps just thinking about it. If that's really the case, then this world is probably not far from being ruined.
"Sigh, actually, the headquarters' approach was alright before. After the mission participants had their lives corrected, they could go back after their memories were erased. But since the reforms, this benefit is gone, and they really can't go back." Leng Yue sighed. The headquarters is always changing the rules, one every day.
"That's true, Yueyue, you're so smart." Ling praised Leng Yue with a smile.
"That's right, I'm a top student now! By the way, has the female lead found that thug yet?" Leng Yue tapped on the desk. She arrived quite late, and the night the original owner was hurt was getting closer and closer.
“Yes, they’ve already met. Not only that, Leng Fei has also been swindled out of almost all his money. Should we do something about it?” Ling asked Leng Yue.
"No need. You gather evidence first. We still need to use legal means." Leng Yue didn't plan to confront the female lead directly for the time being. She also wanted to see just how far the female lead could go.
"Can you handle this on your own?" Zero looked at the thin and frail Leng Yue with a face full of worry.
"It should be fine. He's just a small-time thug. I can handle him." Leng Yue wasn't afraid. After all, her soul power had increased. Let alone one small-time thug, she could handle ten of them without any problem.
"But this body isn't yours, is it? You're so thin, are you sure you can manage?" Zero expressed doubt.
Leng Yue looked at her thin arms and said, "I had really forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it. Tell me, how could the original owner have been so thin?"
The original owner was beautiful, but she was the kind of frail, sickly beauty. She was so delicate and fragile, it felt like a gust of wind could blow her away!
Leng Yue reached out to lift the table, but couldn't. Unable to move even a single table, Leng Yue was on the verge of tears.
"Do you have any strength potion?" They say that great strength can bring miracles. Leng Yue is powerless. Even if she has all kinds of martial arts skills, what can she do? She might not even be able to swat a mosquito in the end.
"Yes, it's harmless to the body and can be used for life—Miracle Water!" Ling pulled out the most suitable potion for Leng Yue.
"I'll buy it. How many points is it?" Leng Yue was very interested and immediately decided to buy it.
"Three thousand," Zero answered, biting her finger, then asked, "Buy it or not?"
Leng Yue nodded, "Buy it."
