Chapter 607 He is real
This time, the system's current sound seemed to be more chaotic. For the first time, it raised its doubts to Si Linglong.
System: [Why is the host unwilling to accept the mission? This is just a world in a book. Everyone in this world does not exist except the host. Doesn't the host want to leave this world and go home as soon as possible? ]
The mechanical sound of the system seemed to be without any emotion, but there seemed to be an imperceptible temptation in the doubt. Si Linglong's heart trembled slightly.
In just a moment, she regained her consciousness and subconsciously asked it back in a low voice.
[Does everyone here really not exist? ]
If it doesn't exist, then why is everyone she meets so real?
She can touch everyone's temperature and feel their joys, sorrows, anger and happiness.
She also lay on A Yue's chest and listened to his heartbeat.
She didn't believe this was just a world in a book.
I don't believe that A Yue and the others, including Xue Shan, are just paper-like existences.
The most fundamental basis is that the calligraphy that Brother Ba once asked her to copy was from A Yue's calligraphy.
Although she still doesn't understand why A Yue's calligraphy appeared in modern times and was handed to her by Brother Ba, she recognizes A Yue's handwriting, and that is a fact.
If this world is really just a world of novels as the system says, but novels can create characters' personalities and experiences, can it also create a handwriting specifically for a character?
Then there is only one answer, and it is also a question that Si Linglong has never thought about in the past.
The system deceived her.
Because of an inherent impression, and the fact that the system has always existed like an electronic machine, Si Linglong has never thought that machines could deceive people.
After thinking this through, Si Linglong decided not to be swayed by the system's words anymore.
[System, do you know what feelings are? ]
Si Linglong asked the system back, and without waiting for it to speak, she answered herself, "You definitely don't understand. You are just a machine that issues tasks without any emotions. You don't even have a name, so how can you understand what emotions are?"
[I live with people in this world day and night, and I can distinguish between what is fiction and what is real, so you don’t need to try to correct my thoughts.]
[Machines just follow the program, but we humans have some things we do and some things we don't do. If I let the man I love suffer for me today in order to suffer less, then what is the difference between me and you?]
[Even if I really go home in the future, Brother Ba will definitely scold me when he finds out.]
Si Linglong's voice became a little soft when she spoke the last part, because even she didn't know whether she could go home.
Because compared to going home, she just wants to save A Yue now.
The system seemed a little confused by her words, but in the end, it did not argue with her anymore, but confirmed the punishment for Si Linglong in a cold and mechanical voice.
[The host refused the main mission and seriously hindered the development of the plot. This time, the host will be given a severe punishment for seven days, two hours a day, and the severity of the punishment will gradually increase with the time limit. ]
After a pause, I replenished my energy.
[If the host regrets and is willing to accept the mission again, the system will immediately terminate the punishment. ]
Si Linglong did not answer, which meant she accepted the punishment tacitly.
In the next second, as if to make her realize the pain of punishment, a familiar pain swept up from her heart.
Si Linglong's breathing suddenly choked, and in an instant she felt as if her heart was pierced by a sharp spike, and the spike seemed to be moving inside step by step.
Si Linglong's face turned pale and a layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on her forehead. The strength in her body seemed to be stripped away in an instant. Her feet went soft and she fell onto the carpet.
The pain in her heart continued, as if it was going to break her heart into pieces.
Si Linglong subconsciously wanted to scream out in pain, but for a moment, she bit her lower lip hard and dared not make any sound.
She knows.
Once someone came in and saw her like this, even Lie Yi who was hiding in the palace would report to A Yue immediately if he heard her movements.
She had to keep it secret.
Si Linglong covered her chest with her hands, tears falling from her eyes in pain. She used the remaining strength in her hands to pull the small blanket on the couch next to her in front of her little by little, then rolled it up and stuffed it into her mouth.
"Ugh..." Si Linglong's face was pale, but she was biting the cloth ball in her mouth tightly, and her heart was no longer restrained from clamoring for the pain in her body.
【This is only the first day.】
[It hurts... It hurts more than last time. This bastard system must have done this on purpose.]
[Ayue, wuwu...Ayue...]
She is in so much pain.
Si Linglong silently called A Yue's name in her heart, as if only this could slightly alleviate the pain coming from her body. Her tears slid down and fell on the floor with a plop, soaking the carpet in a few moments.
At the same time, Xuanzheng Hall.
Helian Yue, who was redefining the tax policy with Bai Zaifu, seemed to sense something and frowned subconsciously. Then, he looked out the window, which was the direction of Yuxiu Palace.
