Chapter 788 Don’t Blame Me
Brother Ba looked at her obviously aggrieved expression. In a moment of silence, the remaining long tail suddenly swung in front of her and gently patted her head, just like he used to coax her.
Si Linglong subconsciously reached out to grab the tail.
However, before she could touch it, the slender tiger tail had already been retracted deftly.
"I never left you."
Brother Ba's voice changed. It was no longer as unattainable as a distant bell, but the simple and heavy tone still made Si Linglong feel attached to it.
"I never told you that this world originally belonged to you."
Si Linglong's heart trembled, and she subconsciously thought that she had misheard, but she listened to him continue to talk.
"Thousands of years ago, Quanxian opened the gate of Kunlun Mountain for his own selfish desires, causing a tsunami, resulting in countless casualties in the human world and even in Kunlun. He was later sealed in the Fusang Pen by Di Ting..."
The Fusang Pen was forged from the ancient sacred tree Fusang with a strand of divine thought. It possesses the power to twist space and make rules. What's more, the words written by the Fusang Pen can dominate the fate of mortals.
"When Quan was sealed, she gave up half of her soul and injected her obsession into the Fuso pen, forcibly creating a so-called original world. Your intrusion changed the direction of the story, but in fact, she has been waiting for someone to change everything."
Although Si Linglong had roughly guessed the connection between Yuanzun and Quanxian from their occasional crazy words, it was never as clear as Brother Ba said.
Hearing this, she subconsciously asked, "Why..."
Brother Ba looked at her, his voice quiet.
"Because the Fuso Pen is a binding force, when someone tries to change the rules set by the Fuso Pen, it will forcibly intervene and make corrections."
When Si Linglong heard this, her heart was shocked, and she seemed to have thought of something.
So the Fuso Pen is her system?
All the punishments the system had inflicted on her in the past were indeed intended to make her comply with the plot of the original novel.
However, Si Linglong felt as if something was wrong.
Before she could figure it out, she heard Brother Ba continue, "The Fusang Pen itself has no consciousness. It only has the power of rules, and this power of rules is ineffective against Kunlun. When you enter Kunlun, Quanxian will be dead, and the Fusang Pen's power to restrict you will no longer exist. After five days, the Kunlun Mountain Gate will open again, and you can go back and live the life you want without worry..."
Si Linglong listened to his words in a daze.
Even in the past, Brother Ba had never said so many words.
She used to have many questions, but he was always too lazy to answer them.
But now, he spoke so carefully.
It was as if he just wanted to reassure her.
She looked at him, suddenly interrupted him and asked him,
"Brother Ba, are you my system?"
These words made Lu Wu stop talking. He looked at her with calm eyes.
Si Linglong's eyes instantly turned red and she asked him again,
"Are you my system?"
Everything he just said seemed to be fine at first glance.
As Rikugo, he did everything as a matter of course.
But when you think about it carefully, everything is wrong.
He said he never left her.
He said Fusobi would step in and make corrections when someone tries to change the rules.
He also said that the Fuso pen has no consciousness.
If Fusobi is not conscious, then who is the system that has been ruthlessly asking her to follow the plot, giving her tasks, and pretending to be dead every time she is punished?
Not to mention, the Brother Ba in front of her seemed to know everything she had done here.
“You are my system.”
Si Linglong choked and gritted her teeth, but her tone was firm when she spoke.
Brother Ba looked at her stubborn and resolute look with red eyes, and the remaining tail drooped slightly.
After a long while, he sighed and said,
"Linglong, don't blame me."
