Villain Rescue System (V)

The skinny man had his back to the alley entrance, holding a knife stained with crimson liquid, swinging his arm and stabbing again and again at the thin body that he was blocking.

But Cui Lan could still accurately see from the corner of the body:

Without a doubt, it was Shang Li.

Blood flowed all over the ground, soaking into the soil. The child, who usually would cry and act cute when accidentally touched, was silent now, lying motionless on the ground, allowing the man to cut his body apart.

“…”

Cui Lan shuddered and shrank back.

Tears fell unconsciously in fear. He quickly took out his cell phone from his schoolbag with his cold hands and made a call. He tried to lower the volume and said, "Hello, is this the police? I'm..."

Before he could finish his sentence, his hands suddenly felt empty.

“…”

Cui Lan's breathing stagnated.

He turned his head slowly, like a broken machine.

The dry big hand was holding the stolen phone, and the man covered in blood appeared silently behind him.

"!"

Cui Lan opened his legs and tried to escape, but a huge pulling force lifted the back collar of his school uniform, leaving his feet hanging in the air.

“Boom!”

The world was spinning in his eyes, and when he came to his senses, he had already fallen heavily onto the rough ground.

“…”

Cui Lan forced herself to sit up, staring at the man who was approaching step by step.

"Gudong."

He swallowed the saliva in his throat and used his hands to drag his limp body deeper into the alley.

Until I touched the moist soil and came into contact with the still warm body.

That's it.

Cui Lan thought in despair that if he died here with Shang Li, they would still be able to accompany each other in the underworld.

The sky was completely dark, and the man had turned into a black shadow, like a tall and thin monster in a horror story, walking towards him with a silver-glowing weapon in his hand.

He saw the man's ferocious face clearly, and the boning knife that was raised high and swung towards his head with a cold wind.

"Tick, tick."

Death did not come as promised.

The boning knife brushed past his head, and a pale little hand covered with blood covered Hu Ma's face.

Shang Li, who should have died long ago, had already climbed up behind the man with deep red eyes.

[Superpower: Information Ghost

First-level ability: □□After unnatural death, consciousness turns into information flow, capable of tampering with and distorting the information received by all objects that have direct contact with itself. ]

Data flows, and Hu Ma's five senses are suddenly tampered with.

He didn't know what he felt. His legs and feet were unsteady, and he swung the bone-chopping knife wildly, screaming in confusion.

However, Shang Li was still squatting steadily on Hu Ma's shoulder, with a playful smile in his red eyes.

As if he had completely sunk into a distorted world, Hu Ma staggered to the ground, tumbling and twisting in the soaked mud. His facial features were all over the place, and he had a few mouthfuls of mud in his mouth.

The man who had brought endless fear to people before now looked very funny, like a crazy clown in a circus.

The boning knife had been thrown away somewhere unknown. He clutched his hair tightly with both hands and screamed as if in his last struggle before death, and then there was no movement.

Cui Lan sat on the ground in a daze, watching the blood-covered boy gently jump off Hu Ma's body and slowly come to him.

At this moment, he felt as if his frozen blood began to flow again, and regret and relief filled his heart in an instant.

He finally couldn't help himself and burst into tears as he tried to grab Shang Li's hand, "I was wrong. I will never let you go alone again... Don't leave me. I don't want you to die—"

Perhaps it was the tears that blurred my vision, the outstretched hand actually passed through the red body.

The next moment, Shang Li took the initiative to hug him tightly, "You're still alive."

"Um."

Cui Lan was completely relieved and sobbed in the warm embrace, "I love you the most."

Later he called again, and soon the police arrived at the scene, took Hu Ma away and sent him to the Supernatural Bureau.

A serial killer was arrested and, as expected, sentenced to death.

But he is still alive and well now.

"You're lucky."

On the deck, Cui Lan stared coldly at Hu Ma, who was unable to move, with his silver-gray eyes, and his tone was like the ice that had not melted for thousands of years on the snow-capped mountains.

"But it's still not too late to kill you now."

Silver light condensed, and a long sword appeared in his hand.

Fuck your dad! !

Why is this ship full of this body's past karma? !

Hu Ma wanted to cry but had no tears, so he used the same old trick again: "Please spare me, big brother! I am not this body..."

"I know, you are a time traveler." Cui Lan interrupted him directly.

"?"

Hu Ma's pupils trembled: "Fuck, why are you also..."

Before he finished speaking, Cui Lan raised the tip of his knife, "Just in time to kill you!"

His eyes flickered.

Two seconds later, a sharp and miserable howl echoed throughout the cruise ship.

——

On the other side, Shang Li came back to his senses from the sea of ​​fire.

Luo Qinglian's unconscious body was still lying beside him.

One of them is a ghost who is immune to physical damage, and the other is a fire-type mutant who specializes in setting fires. Naturally, bombs have no effect on them.

In just a few minutes, Shang Li had finished browsing the data sent to him by the system.

In the mouth of this "Villain Rescue System" 031, this world is still a novel of the aura resurrection type, just like what 568 said.

But that was the only similarity, he thought.

In the "original work" provided by this system, the protagonist is Long Aotian, who has countless harems.

And the "villain" who needs to be rescued is named Shang Li.

The villain Shang Li had a hard childhood and was accidentally hurt by the protagonist Long Aotian during his growth. Since then, he has been full of hatred and has used all kinds of sinister means to stop Long Aotian, becoming one of the most hated villains by readers.

The goal of the system is to allow the time traveler to redeem Shang Li, so that he can become a good person from now on, and turn the ending around from him becoming a villain.

so……

"The person I want to capture is Shang Li."

He stood in the scorching flames unharmed, frowning.

"Who am I then?"

[You are the host Shang Li! ]

568 said urgently: [031 is lying. If you are not Shang Li, who else could you be? ]

[Before crossing over, you were an ordinary college student.] 031 said unconvinced.

[This system detected that you were reading a novel recommended by your cousin one night, so it determined that you were a suitable host and brought you to this world to complete the task of saving the villain.]

[Jiang Mingyu is the villain's younger brother in the work. Although he only appears twice as a minor character, he has a close relationship with the villain Shang Li, so his role as a savior is very suitable.]

"?"

How come you are related to that guy Jiang Mingyu again?

Shang Li's tone was suspicious, even tinged with a hint of doubt about life, "Wait, you mean... I'm Jiang Mingyu?"

[Yes, host.]

031 said foolishly: [Do you really think of yourself as Shang Li? ]

Shang Li, 568: "..."

【Host--】

568 can't stand it any longer, [Hurry up and throw this nonsense broken system into the small dark room! ]

[Does it know what it is saying? ! ]

This was the first time that Shang Li agreed with 568's opinion.

He decisively moved his fingers and blocked 031 who was talking nonsense.

How dare such a small system disturb my thoughts like this? Who would believe you?

The ghost looked down at his hands which were formed from his data, and then slowly clenched them.

I said I am Shang Li, and I am Shang Li.

I said I am not a time traveler, and I am not a time traveler.

He said this to himself in his heart.

He casually sent a coordinate to the rescue team of the Special Power Bureau, and Shang Lisan turned into red data and returned to his body in the control room.

A few minutes later, Cui Lan dragged the already-killed Hu Ma with one hand, preparing to throw his body off the deck and into the sea.

Sensing movement nearby, his silver-gray eyes turned toward the man walking toward him.

Shang Li dragged Luo Qinglian by the hand and stood at the edge of the deck with Cui Lan.

The sea breeze was chilly in the middle of the night, whistling past my ears and blowing my black hair high.

Looking at each other's hair messed up by the strong wind, they both laughed at the same time.

"What are you doing here in front of me now?"

Cui Lan quickly returned to his usual cold expression and threw the sesame seeds in his hand into the dark and boundless sea like feeding fish.

"Xiao Cui, are you complaining about why I didn't come to see you earlier?"

Shang Li responded with a smile and gently laid the unconscious Luo Qinglian flat on the deck.

"Whatever you think." Cui Lan said.

Hearing this, Shang Li's lips curved even deeper, "You are much kinder to me now than at the beginning."

"Didn't you say we should stop fighting and cooperate?"

Cui Lan turned and looked towards the cabin.

The control system of the entire cruise ship had already gone out of control.

The data was distorted, the circuits were broken, seawater was pouring back, the cabins were completely destroyed in explosions, and thick smoke rolled out.

It won't be long before the cruise ship sinks completely into the sea.

And there were only three people left alive on the cruise ship.

Shang Li, Cui Lan, and the unconscious Luo Qinglian.

The only thing left for Lu Yao to realize his plan was to stab the woman's neck with a knife and end her life.

The originally calm sea surface seemed to be not yet satisfied after swallowing the sesame, and it angrily raised waves.

These huge waves collided with each other, forming a huge whirlpool on the sea surface not far from the cruise ship, which continued to pull the cruise ship, half of which was submerged in water, closer.

However, the two people on the deck still did not feel the slightest sense of urgency.

"Do you think I am Shang Li?" Shang Li suddenly asked.

Cui Lan raised her eyebrows slightly, "You don't know?"

“…”

Shang Li puffed up his lips slightly in dissatisfaction.

"Well, my thoughts are still the same as they were at first."

Cui Lan followed suit and changed his answer.

He is the most similar one among the time travelers, far more similar than the others.

"I can sense a systematic aura coming from you."

He turned his head, looked at the vortex that was getting closer and closer, and said, "Not including the one you got later, but from the very beginning of the rift."

"Without it, I would have no doubt that the real Shangli had returned."

Perhaps because the person in front of him looked too familiar, Cui Lan spoke more unconsciously, "You followed me all the way, and you've heard almost everything you should have heard."

"Lu Yao told me that the real Shang Li is on this cruise ship."

"But until now, I have only found you."

"so……"

Cui Lan paused before continuing:

"I have decided to take you into consideration now."
