Plot Correction System (IV)

Half a moment later, the unconscious body was dragged back to the mourning hall by Shang Li.

He left Chen Jin on the table in the middle of the mourning hall and asked Ye Bai to take care of him, while he carried the puppet whose appearance kept changing to the open space outside.

"Hey, buddy?"

Shang Li stretched out his finger and poked the blank doll that was almost formed, "I know you are still conscious, please respond to me."

The doll does not look like Chen Jin, but a male with a completely unfamiliar face.

"You're so sorry that I'm still giving you a funeral..." Its limbs drooped like a limp leek.

"You're not my brother at all."

"Who cares?" Shang Li sneered.

He placed the puppet on the ground and sat cross-legged in front of it, face to face, with a threatening tone, "Tell me everything you know, and I may be able to spare your life in the end. Otherwise, I will send you to hell right now."

“…”

The time traveler trembled.

"First question, what was your name before you traveled through time?" Shang Li asked, crossing his arms.

The doll choked, then hugged its own little self, muttering in a low voice, "Don't we all end up as someone with the same name when we travel through time?"

Otherwise, why would there be such a thing as memorizing the entire text in advance?

Shang Li's eyebrows jumped.

Ah, so this is what it’s like when you travel through time.

"Then can I call you Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen?" he continued.

What the hell is this? I have no choice at all!

Time traveler, no, Xiao Chen complained in his heart.

"Of course you can," it responded insincerely.

Shang Lili burst out laughing.

When he spoke again, he asked the third consciousness present, "Is the plot correction system here? I know you can hear me. Come out quickly. I have something important to tell you."

【……】

After a long time, the puppet's eyes and head finally tilted, as if there was a problem, and it came to a standstill.

After a while, its eyes lit up again, and data flowing in them could be vaguely seen.

The body is now controlled by the system.

"Good morning."

Shang Li smiled and greeted, "This is the first time we meet."

"Hello."

The correction system lifted the puppet's head and asked carefully, "What do you want to know?"

Shang Li smiled and followed the same rhetoric he had used to bluff the time travelers, saying, "It's like this. As a time traveler, I also have a system, the protagonist strategy system."

"Um."

The correction system manipulated the puppet to nod.

The system can obtain information from the outside world through the host's eyes and ears, so it naturally knows what Shang Li said in the rift a few days ago.

"But the original plot I got is completely different from the plot of your plot correction system."

He made up a story about saving poor little Cui Lan and changing his tragic fate.

However, before he could finish speaking, 568 interrupted him with a disapproving voice.

[The plot is not like this at all! ]

It controlled the puppet to wave its cotton hands angrily.

"This is what my system told me." Shang Li remained calm.

【Sir, you can't believe it, you have to believe me. 】

568 said to Shang Li excitedly: [The protagonist of this world is Ye Bai! ]

[That system is deceiving you, it is definitely not a good system! ]

"Really?"

The man snapped his fingers and pushed the puppet, which had stood up due to inexplicable emotions, to the ground. "How can I be sure?"

"Maybe you are the deceiving bad system, preventing me from completing my mission, saving others and doing good deeds."

"So, I'm considering whether I should get rid of you first, so that you don't get in the way."

【I am a good system! 】

568, who was only in charge of the group data, intuitively felt that a crisis was approaching and immediately began to prove himself.

[Saving a villain and changing his fate is definitely not a good thing for this world. 】

Shang Li held his head and uttered a long "hmm", without expressing any opinion.

Seeing that the man in front of her didn't react much and even started to fiddle with his nails in boredom, the mechanical sound of 568's original tablet became a little hurried.

[If the plot of this world is not successfully corrected according to the contents of the book, the world will eventually collapse! ! ]

Wow.

Shang Li thought, a shocking secret.

But he still maintained a faint smile on his face, as if the words just now could not cause any fluctuations in his emotions.

"Our world collapsed. What does it have to do with your system?" Shang Li stretched out his index finger and pushed 568 to the ground again.

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

568: [Of course it is related. If the mission is completed and the world does not collapse in the end, our system will be able to collect the power of "order" and supply it to the main system.]

"Oh - so this is the purpose." The man showed an understanding expression.

[But I really want to save the world.] 568 immediately added: [I was born to save the world.]

Now you should believe it.

It wants to.

Unexpectedly, Shang Li said, "But my system tells me that as long as Cui Lan is conquered, the world will be filled with love and peace."

"There is no such thing as an unchangeable world line."

“…”

A small system that had just been born collapsed.

Looking at the puppet that was almost forced to cry, Shang Li couldn't help but smile even more.

He stretched out his hand to 568 and said, "In that case, do you want to leave Xiao Chen and come with me?"

"Prove to my system who is right."

After hearing this, 568 hesitated.

"Ah, is it because it is bound to the host that it cannot be removed?"

Shang Li's tone was very understanding. "Forget it, I'll just get rid of you here and continue to work with my system..."

[Although the host cannot actively untie from us, if we have a suitable replacement host, we can actually actively untie from the current host. ]

After hearing this, 568 made a quick decision.

Mission completion is the most important thing for it.

No matter who the host is, as long as he can ensure that the protagonist completes the key nodes of the plot.

Anyway, the current host Xiao Chen just wants to do nothing every day and waste time, so it’s better to change him to someone who is more proactive!

It walked forward resolutely, stretched out its soft claws and placed them on Shang Li's hand.

A light blue data stream glowed faintly from the small puppet, passed through the intersection of the two sides, and entered the chip in the brain along the arm of the big puppet.

【Hey, host. 】

After the system was re-bound, 568 asked the new host Shang Li, "Where is your system?"

【Why didn’t I find it? 】

"It's right here."

Shang Li responded briskly, "In my mouth."

【！ ！ ！ 】

568 then realized that he had been fooled, and then immediately realized that something was wrong.

[Wait! This is impossible. If you are not a time traveler, why is your information not blocked?! ]

"shield?"

Shang Li had activated half of his ability when he became interested again by 568's words.

[It’s the identity confidentiality function! ]

568 was extremely worried. [If they were native to this world, they would not be able to detect the existence of our system! ]

[Even if you are a time traveler, if you want to reveal information about time travel and the system in front of the natives, you will be completely blocked! ]

This is why 568 never doubted from the beginning that Shang Li was a native resident of this world.

"Whatever you say, it is." Shang Li said in a nonchalant tone.

Although he said this, out of a verification attitude, he turned around and shouted "Xiao Ye" in the mourning hall, calling out Ye Bai.

"What's the matter, Mr. Shang?"

Ye Bai responded by poking his little head out from the door of the mourning hall.

"I am a time traveler, this is my system."

Shang Li stood up, holding the little doll, and shook it at the child twice with a smile.

"?"

Ye Bai looked puzzled, "Teacher Shang, what are you talking about? I don't think I heard it clearly."

Shang Li paused and repeated it again.

The result remains the same.

Really blocked?

He began to regret it.

Tsk, I forgot whether the verification was blocked by this broken system just now, or it was blocked from the very beginning.

If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have been so considerate to change the way I said things to Lao Zhang, but should have told him the whole story.

Shang Li's wish came true. I, a local resident, am now treated as a time traveler. My wife will definitely misunderstand me even more in the future.

But regardless of whether there is a system or not, he is determined to kill me...

Thinking of this, he suddenly realized that Cui Lan also knew about the time traveler.

Haha, even my wife can’t be blocked. This system is just a lie.

[I've already said that this is not a system that deceives people! ]

568 Angry, [It’s you who is a time traveler, but you still refuse to admit it! ]

“…”

Somehow these words suddenly hit Shang Li's sore spot, and he simply moved his fingers and activated his supernatural powers.

568: “?!”

When it discovered that the host's special ability actually had an effect on its tiny piece of data, it immediately planned to slide down on its knees and beg for mercy.

However, it was too late. The functional modules of the entire 568 system that received external information were instantly blocked, as if it had entered forced hibernation. Shang Li locked him in a small black room made up of bright red data.

Three minutes later, Shang Li, with a smile on his face, returned to the mourning hall carrying the doll of which only Xiao Chen was conscious.

He casually threw the gloomy-looking Xiao Chen into Ye Bai's arms and said, "Xiao Ye, I have a gift for you."

"Thank you, Mr. Shang!"

Ye Bai took the puppet that looked as lifeless as a living person, and was somewhat flattered, "You are so kind to me!"

"As I should." Shang Li rubbed the child's hair and secretly gave a warning look to Xiao Chen, who had lost his body and system in just ten minutes.

"This doll has intelligence. Take good care of it. You can treat it as a companion or a pet. Be careful not to damage it."

He pulled a long chair for himself and sat comfortably on it. "Well, it's okay if I accidentally mess it up. I'll just take it as bad luck."

Xiao Chen: “…”

I deserve it?

The sun rises, the minute hand moves, and time slowly reaches nine o'clock in the morning.

The real Chen Jin gradually woke up from the table.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the bright incandescent light on the ceiling, and the subordinate he had cultivated with his own hands, but who stabbed him in the back at the last moment.

The subordinate lowered his head and said with a smile: "You are awake. It seems that the operation was successful."

Chen Jin: “?”

He straightened his old waist and sat up suddenly like a spring.

The white cloth covering the body, the mourning hall hung with wreaths, and the members of the Ability Bureau who came to pay their respects instantly caught his eye.

“…”

Chen Jin's originally stern eyes became a little confused, "I came back from the dead?"

The members of the Ability Bureau looked at each other, and no one said a word.

The original notice said that we were going to attend the funeral of Comrade Shang Li. However, when we entered the mourning hall, we found Shang Li, who died in the crack, standing in front of us in good health, while our superior was lying in the middle of the mourning hall with a white cloth covering his face.

They didn't dare to speak or ask, for fear of accidentally ruining any special plans, so they have been waiting until now.

“…”

The boss's stern gaze immediately fell on his subordinate.

Shang Li did not dodge, but adjusted his glasses and said calmly: "Teacher, these are all temporary measures. You know, if we don't do this, it will be difficult for us to escape from Cui Lan intact."

He did not explain too much, leaving the rest to Chen Jin to complete himself - mainly because it was too troublesome to edit.

Not long after, just as Shang Li had thought, whatever story he had come up with in his mind, Chen Jin seemed to have explained it to himself in his head and his expression calmed down.

"…Let them all go."

Chen Jin waved his hand and dispersed the crowd, "Those who need to go to work should go to work!"

The funeral ended in a noisy manner like a farce.

After a while, life finally returned to normal.

Two days later, Shang Li took the system that was locked in the small dark room and went to the Ability Bureau to apply to his superior Chen Jin on the grounds of retiring from the front line. He and the transferred student Ye Bai went to Peiying High School, which was set up by the Ability Bureau to train young people with special abilities.
