Chapter 329: Three Treasures in One Birth: My Sweet Wife (78)
[Host! Are you trying to kill yourself? You scared me to death!] The system yelled at the top of its voice.
"Scare you to death? I'm scared to death too, okay?" Shen Ci said.
[Ha!] The system laughed and didn’t believe a word she said.
The person who was almost scared to death just did that?
But it was very confused: [Host, why did you save Yue Ling? She just wanted to kill you! ]
"I have no good heart. The story is about her. If she dies, this world that is collapsing rapidly will probably collapse in an instant. Do you have the ability to quickly evacuate me from this world?" Shen Ci asked the system.
[But... Host, according to the system's detection just now, the plot is not about Yue Ling.] The system reported to Shen Ci seriously.
"Not here?" Shen Ci frowned.
[Yes, just now the host was adventuring, and the system was afraid that something might happen to the host, so it wanted to grab the plot from the heroine's body, but it turned out that the plot was not in Yue Ling's body at all.] The system explained.
If it’s not in Yue Ling’s body, then where is it?
Was he not there before she came, or was he not there after she came?
According to the current situation, it seems like before coming.
If he was not there before arriving, it would be no wonder that the system detected that the cause was Yue Ling.
[Host, the system has detected that this world is quite dangerous. In order to ensure the host's own safety, the system recommends that you give up the mission in this world.] After the system finished explaining, it said after a while.
Shen Ci fell silent after hearing this.
She drove the car, turned a corner, and asked the system: "What about this world?"
[It may be destruction, but there is nothing we can do about it. If the world cannot evolve, we can only maintain this world like our original mission. But this world, it seems, has collapsed before we came, so... Host, we can only give up this world.] The system said in a very depressed mood.
Although it had experienced many such things before meeting the host, it never encountered them again after meeting the host.
It thought... something like this would never happen again, but things are unpredictable...
"So the original body and many innocent people in this world will disappear?" Shen Ci asked.
【Yes.】The system responded.
"Tong, do you think I have a heart of stone?" Shen Ci asked suddenly.
The system shook its head in confusion: [No, host.]
"There is something wrong with your cognition, I do." Shen Ci said.
She doesn't care whether her original body or the innocent people in this world disappear or not. They have nothing to do with her and she has no feelings for them. She has always been an indifferent person.
But, the flowers in this world are fragrant, the stars are beautiful, and the summer breeze is cool...
"Try again and find out where the plot is first." Shen Ci said again.
After listening to her words, the system's originally depressed mood suddenly recovered. It cheered up and said: "I understand, host. I will do my best to help you."
Shen Ci stopped talking to it. She opened her mouth and asked Yue Ling: "Ms. Yue, you haven't answered my question yet. How did you know those things?"
Yue Ling's mind finally calmed down a little from the sadness: "I, it was Miss Shi who told me."
"Miss Shi?" Shen Ci thought, recalling the name, and finally dug up her memory, "Shi Qi?"
Yue Ling nodded: "Yes."
"How does she know all this?" Shen Ci asked.
Yue Ling pursed his lips: "I promised Miss Guoshi not to tell anyone."
Shen Ci glanced at the rearview mirror inside the car, and through it, saw Yue Ling in the back seat of the car: "Miss Yue, think about it carefully, don't you wonder why your Ah Cheng wants to hit you to death?"
Yue Ling raised his eyes, looked at Shen Ci with burning eyes, and asked: "Why?"
"If you want to know something, you have to exchange it with something else." Shen Ci said.
Yue Ling grabbed the corner of his clothes and said, "She said she was the plot maintainer."
"Plot maintainer?" Shen Ci appeared calm, but in his heart he asked the system, "Did you meet someone in the same profession?"
The system shook its head: [Impossible, the boss has set it up so that each world can only match one system. It is absolutely impossible to meet someone of the same kind.]
"If we are not in the same business, can you explain the situation?"
System: [……] There’s no way it can explain this. It’s also confused right now!
"And then?" Shen Ci saw that the system was silent, and realized that it didn't know what was going on, so he asked Yue Ling to continue.
Yue Ling opened his lips and continued to explain: "She said that a plot maintainer like her plays a supporting role in the novel and keeps the plot from collapsing. But where there are maintainers, there will be destroyers. She said that soon, a destroyer will descend upon Lu Siyu's body, so Lu Siyu must be dealt with."
"But the plan didn't keep up with the changes, and Lu Siyu chose to jump into the sea. I thought the problem was solved after Lu Siyu jumped into the sea, but I didn't expect you, the saboteur, to come."
"She said that your existence is to ruin the plot and ruin my relationship with Ah Cheng. I have given so much to Ah Cheng, how can I give up Ah Cheng? So between us, either you fail or I fail."
Shen Ci: "..."
Maintainer... Destroyer, is there such a setting?
While Shen Ci was thinking, the system immediately denied: [Pooh! What destroyer, what maintainer! If there is such a setting, the host and I are also maintainers, how can we be destroyers. 】
Shen Ci: "..."
"Ahem," Shen Ci coughed, "Tong, based on what I did, it seems that I am indeed a saboteur."
System: [……]
[Don’t just look at the results, look at the process.] The system will say after a moment of silence.
Shen Ci nodded seriously: "Just looking at the results, we are definitely the maintainers."
[Yes!] The system responded loudly, [So what that person said is bullshit, we are not destroyers, we are protectors.]
Shen Ci sighed: "Tong, you are being too picky. What you should be concerned about now is not these, but Shi Qi."
System: [……]
"So, I can't figure it out again, why did you save me? If I died, wouldn't you have completed your mission?" Yue Ling leaned on the back seat and murmured.
Shen Ci suddenly stopped the car and turned to look at Yue Ling: "Although it may be a bit offensive, I still want to ask, Miss Yue, have you ever taken an IQ test?"
"What?" Yue Ling was unable to respond to her question.
Shen Ci pointed at her head and said, "Have you ever taken an IQ test?"
"I... Miss Lu, isn't it bad to make personal attacks?" Yue Ling realized what she meant and asked with a slightly sour expression.
"I'm asking a very normal question, Miss Yue. You do have a little IQ... do you understand?" Shen Ci looked at her with deep eyes.
Yue Ling: “…” She doesn’t want to understand.
