A woman without shoes walked down the street in the afternoon. She was very beautiful, but her face was inexplicably pale and weak. She stepped on the sun-baked floor, but she seemed oblivious. Many passersby recognized her as Xia Fengguang, the big star. But how could the high-profile and always glamorous Xia Fengguang appear on the street like a mental patient?
People were unsure, so they didn't dare to speak.
This is a common human psychology: when something that one wouldn't normally dare to imagine appears before one's eyes, one always feels disbelief.
Feng Guang seemed oblivious to these subtle glances, even though a huge storm was raging in her mind, her calm face betrayed nothing.
"Host, you need to complete the mission."
"Oh, really? To complete the mission of finding the man who wants to kill me, and then live in constant fear of death?"
"This is a mission."
"I remember a long time ago... back when we were with Xue Ran, you reminded me of the same thing. This was a mission, so you were satisfied that I could abandon my principles and be with him, right? Since you didn't choose to erase my feelings, how can a person with normal emotions be with someone who wants to kill them?"
"Host……"
“System,” she interrupted him, “sometimes I wonder why you’re even more eager than I am for points?”
After a moment, he replied, "Because that is what I exist for."
"Very well, then can you tell me what happened with that scene that appeared in my mind at that time?" The scene she saw before losing consciousness still haunts her.
The system calmly said, "This happened to the host in the third world."
"Why don't I have any memory of this? How could I not remember the target who drove me to the point of slitting my wrists?" For example, Xue Ran, she can still remember this person now.
"Because that world collapsed, the host's memories were completely wiped out."
She remained silent, her silence strange.
"Host?"
"Why are you so nervous?" she sneered. "Are you hiding something from me?"
The system's voice paused for a while before ringing out again, "The host has started to become paranoid because of Wen Qiong."
She retorted, "You're talking nonsense."
"The host's current mindset is very abnormal."
"You didn't tell me that Wen Qiong was a man who wanted to kill me. Apart from his name, you never told me much about him from the beginning. You wanted me to complete the mission without knowing the truth, didn't you? You really have a good plan."
"This is for the mission."
"Alright, I hereby declare this mission a failure." She only had three points anyway, so it was fine if she lost them. "Anyway, waiting to be played to death by Wen Qiong and declared a failure meant being wiped out. So, if I declare the mission a failure now, it will make things much easier for both of us."
To put it bluntly, she was just throwing caution to the wind. Besides, she had a gut feeling that the system wouldn't let her die, otherwise it wouldn't have helped her escape from desperate situations in some of those moments.
Unexpectedly, the system did not say that the host was not allowed to declare the mission a failure. It said as if it was compromising: "Are you sure you want to declare the mission a failure? Once the mission fails, this world will return to its original plot. Wen Qiong will not be resurrected, but will die."
"...He doesn't even care about his own life, so what does it have to do with me?"
"At the host's request, mission failure has been selected. Five seconds remaining before exiting the world. Five, four, three, two..."
