This time, Lu Qingyan didn't see Su Han when she returned to the system space. And suddenly, the place became pitch black, just like when she returned to the real world from the magical world; she couldn't see anything.
She called out to Su Han several times, but still received no reply. What on earth had happened? Lu Qingyan couldn't help but think of her failed mission.
She still couldn't save Bai Su!
Lu Qingyan thought regretfully.
It was so quiet here, there wasn't a sound at all. She missed the chattering Su Han a little, even though she had initially disliked the so-called system.
If the task fails, will the system also have problems? Why hasn't it appeared yet?
"Ah—" Lu Qingyan couldn't help but scream. Suddenly, her brain felt like it was being pierced by countless silver needles, and those strange yet familiar scenes flashed through her mind. She seemed to remember everything, yet she had forgotten everything.
"No, don't do this." Lu Qingyan curled up in mid-air, struggling to get rid of this uncontrollable feeling, but it was all in vain.
Is this what they call punishment for failure? Why, why must it be this painful?
The distant sound of a flute, seemingly from nowhere, reached her ears, filling her with courage and hope. With the sound of the flute, her sorrow seemed to lessen.
Finally, after an unknown amount of time, Lu Qingyan lost consciousness.
A man whose face was obscured appeared calmly, carrying a cage in his hand. Inside the cage was Su Han.
"Master, Master, Master, please don't treat me like this. Su Han will definitely be good from now on." The cat blinked its big, cute eyes and looked pitifully at a person. If it were an ordinary person, they would have softened their heart long ago.
The man sneered, "Little thing, I've given you many chances. But I haven't seen you become any more obedient. On the contrary, you've become bolder and bolder, capable of doing anything."
"Master," the snow-white cat wagged its tail, its blue eyes misty with tears.
"That trick only works on her; it won't work on me." The man said, a blue electric current flickering on the cage. The cat let out a piercing scream: "Meow—woof—"
The man looked at the adorable cat that had turned into an ugly bat, showing no surprise whatsoever: "I placed you next to her thinking that your appearance would make her feel closer to you. Too bad, you were too clever for your own good. Even if you turn into the same form, no one will like you."
"Master, please give Su Han another chance. Su Han will definitely do better," the bat with a human face pleaded repeatedly. She knew that saying anything now was useless; constantly begging for forgiveness was the best course of action.
The electric current in the man's hand didn't stop. He said hatefully, "You picked a really good story this time. Are you still regretting that I didn't kill her with my own hands?"
"Master!" The bat's beautiful face, filled with sorrow and resentment, now held a hint of hatred: "Why? Why did you choose her? I've followed you for so many years, is she really less important to you than a stranger?"
The man chuckled, "That's an interesting point. It was your own idea to stay by my side in the first place; I didn't force you."
