Plot Correction System (XVII)

Lu Yao was beaten.

Although Lu Yao was just a fictional being in the domain, he still became the punching bag for the two people who had long been resentful.

A few minutes later, Shang Li found the key from the unlucky guy and forced him into the huge office on the top floor of Ximing Company.

By the way, Cui Lan was brought along with him, with whom he reached a truce agreement again.

He said that he had reached an agreement, but in fact, Shang Li blocked his five senses and simply pinched Cui Lan's waist with one hand and hugged him up.

So now, Shang Li and Cui Lan sat on the single leather sofas facing each other on both sides, sandwiching Lu Yao in the middle.

A man with a body as big as a double-door refrigerator sat on the sofa. In the eyes of Shang Li and Cui Lan, who were not as strong as him, he sat with his hands and feet restrained, and looked a bit like a young wife.

"Well, it's not a good idea to keep fighting. In the end, both sides will suffer and gain nothing."

Shang Li smiled and said, "Why don't you sit down and have a good chat? It would be best if we can solve the problem in a peaceful way."

Cui Lan, who had only recovered the senses of his upper body, picked up the teapot on the tea table and poured himself a glass of water without making any comment.

The illusion Lu Yao dared not speak out but was angry.

"I just talked to Jiang Mingyu." Shang Li suddenly changed the topic to another person.

The other two looked over and said in unison: "That's not Jiang Mingyu."

"I know, that's another person occupying Xiao Jiang's body."

Shang Li smiled at Cui Lan, then looked at Lu Yao, "But I'm curious, how did you know that?"

"It's easy to see." Lu Yao said dissatisfiedly.

He straightened his shoulders with a bit of pride and raised his chin slightly. "I can tell whether a person's transformation is due to his personality or a change of soul."

[It depends on the mission and the hosts' acting skills...]

568 heard these words through Shang Li's ears and said softly in his heart.

Shang Li pretended not to hear what the system said and continued, "That person wants to completely replace Jiang Mingyu. This is something none of us can accept."

Cui Lan agreed silently.

Even if the time traveler is better than the original Jiang Mingyu in every aspect in a universal sense, he is still not the younger brother who was raised by him since childhood.

Even if you are an incurable love-brain, so what?

He did hope that his brother could grow up to be a better person, such as abandoning his love-mindedness and standing on the top of the entertainment industry, stepping on Lu Yao under his feet, but he absolutely could not just replace him with another one.

However...these issues were already resolved two years ago.

Cui Lan raised his eyelids and looked at Shang Li, not understanding why he had used his authority to come here at this time to mention this matter to her.

"Before I came here, I always thought that all time travelers were like this."

Shang Li reached out and gently used his middle finger to flick the glass in front of him that Lu Yao had casually filled with tea, making a crisp sound, "Until I saw the illusion of myself two years ago, with the soul of a time traveler."

A question mark popped up in Lu Yao's head, "What did you just say?"

He heard the man next to him who was suspected of abusing his authority from the Bureau of Supernatural Powers say half a sentence, and then suddenly the sound seemed to be muted, and he could only see his mouth opening and closing.

【Host.】

568 said helplessly: [Can you please stop questioning the blocking function of our system? ]

Shang Li simply ignored 568 and the puzzled Lu Yao in his mind and turned his attention to Cui Lan, "So I think... we may not be able to reach a cooperation."

"Xiao Cui, I guess you should have a good relationship with the time traveler from two years ago." He narrowed his beautiful red eyes.

"You have a keen eye for insight," Cui Lan commented. "You have known each other for less than two hours and yet you understand each other so well."

"Don't be so weird."

Shang Li said: "I guess he took the initiative to ask you to let him die."

"But your purpose is obviously different from his."

Cui Lan took a sip of hot tea from the cup. "If you also want to leave this body, just stand there and let me chop you up."

"Even if I leave, there will always be another traveler."

Shang Li smiled unchanged, and temporarily acknowledged his identity as a time traveler in front of his wife, "Xiao Cui, since ten years ago, more than ten time travelers have descended upon Shang Li. It's impossible that you don't feel something is wrong."

"Once you killed the person in Xiao Jiang's body, the real Xiao Jiang came back directly. Why is it different for Shang Li?"

"What secrets does he have that make the systems favor him so much, even to the point of seamless integration?"

[At least I don’t, host.] 568 defended himself.

"If you interrupt again, I'll put you in the dark room." Shang Li responded coldly in his heart, "You don't want to do that either."

The system went silent instantly.

Cui Lan's face darkened when he heard this. "You know?"

Shang Li shook his head: "I don't know."

“But I want to find out.”

His voice also lowered, and there was a little more hoarseness in his gentle voice, "Whether it is to find the 'real Shang Li', or to prevent another consciousness from suddenly invading this body."

"I'm sure you've noticed that I have a system."

Shang Li pointed to his temple with his right finger and said, "I stole it from Xiao Chen."

568: [……]

568: I have so much pain that I can’t express it.

“It was him.”

Cui Lan reminisced for a while and realized that the "little Chen" Shang Li mentioned was a doll that the two children took turns holding.

"Yes, but I'm not using his situation to give you advice on how to deal with time travelers."

Shang Li bent his upper body and put his elbows on his knees, holding his cheeks with his hands, looking cute, "Of course, you can also take a look."

"In short, I just learned from the time-traveling Xiao Jiang that this guy Lu Yao is the protagonist in the plot he got." He blinked.

"I am his protagonist?"

Lu Yao, who had been ignored for a long time, finally heard the key points of the discovery related to himself from the mostly muted words, and was stunned, "That person who always looks down on others, turns out he likes me too?"

“…”

"I said we should have killed him right away." Cui Lan said in a cold tone.

"I thought it would have some effect." Shang Li pointed at his finger aggrievedly.

"After all, I think he, as the prophet who gave you the advice, knows something about the situation."

Cui Lan: “Bullshit idea.”

The two men, who had just begun to show signs of hostility, once again united to confront the enemy.

Lu Yao: Died suddenly.

"Ahem, let's get back on track."

After quickly dealing with the big problem on his hands, Shang Li stood up and clapped his hands, then stood in front of the tea table and continued, "I learned from the system I got that this world is a novel."

Cui Lan didn't react, as if he had known this information for a long time.

"So, if this world is really based on a novel as it claims, why are there completely different protagonists and plots?"

Shang Li walked to the sofa where Cui Lan was, put his hands on the armrests on both sides, and looked down at the person who was controlled by the supernatural power and unable to move. "I want to know, is the world born according to the novel, or is the novel originally written according to the appearance of this world?"

"Why do you think I know?"

Cui Lan turned her head away, not looking at those crimson eyes. “Ask your system.”

"That guy would just say that the main system told him everything." Shang Li said.

After hearing what was in his heart being spoken out by the host, 568 swallowed back the sound that was about to come out.

"The system has an information shielding system. Only fellow travelers can hear it."

"The Lu Yao constructed in this realm cannot hear the full content of my words."

Shang Li picked up a strand of Cui Lan's hair and put it to his lips, saying softly: "But you can communicate with me without any hindrance."

"Xiao Cui, if I am a time traveler, what about you?"

He asked sincerely: "Are you a time traveler?"

“…”

Cui Lan was silent.

"I don't think you are."

Shang Li continued to talk to himself, "I'm not like you who can't tell who is the real Shang Li."

"From the moment I saw you through the rift I knew you were the one I had always known."

"So, cooperate with me."

He leaned down and gave Cui Lan a tight and warm hug.

After such a long time of intimate contact, Shang Li couldn't help but let out a long sigh, "It's okay if you continue to treat me as a time traveler, and it's okay if you continue to kill me."

"At least let me go after I know the truth."

“…”

"Okay, I've asked all the questions I need to ask."

The sound of a police car siren was heard outside the window. Perhaps someone had discovered that Jiang Mingyu's throat had been cut.

Shang Li kissed Cui Lan on the top of his head and pressed the authority in his hand.

"See you in the future, wife."

The two men changed their shapes and disappeared in the office in an instant.

The copy from four years ago was once again hidden deep in the realm. Shang Li pushed away the darkness in front of him and walked out of the house that hid countless small worlds.

The time in the realm is different from that in the outside world. He stayed in it for several hours, but in reality only a few minutes had passed.

Everything went smoothly afterwards, and students came out of the field one after another.

All the accidents that happened in the field were treated as if they had never happened. The woman who helped to look after the equipment had already disappeared.

When the two students who spoke outrageously apologized to him, Shang Li just smiled and pushed the blame to Huan Xiang, saying:

“That’s a teacher in the field, not a teacher in reality.”

As for the fact that after Lin Siyuan came out, at Ye Bai's instigation, he called home to tell them that his eldest brother had died, but was scolded by Lin Sirong on the other end of the phone...

Shang Li sat on the bus on the way back and thought: I am not omniscient and omnipotent, so it is normal to make mistakes in my guesses.

As for who this real Lin Sirong is and what the relationship between the young masters of the Lin family will be like, that is none of my business.

After returning to school, Shang Li walked alone on the campus, preparing to go directly to the office to correct students' homework.

Someone called him at this moment.

"Mr. Shang."

"What?"

Shang Li turned around and saw a strange male teacher behind him handing him a letter.

"On my way to work, I met a man who said he was your brother. He asked me to give this letter to you," said the male teacher.

So fast?

"Excuse me."

Shang Li took the fragrant letter, thanked the kind person in front of him, and returned to the office to open it.

Inside the envelope was a black card and a thin piece of writing paper.

There was only one short sentence on the letter:

【Sincerely invite Mr. Shang Li to join the cruise trip next month——Lu Yao】
