Chapter 96: Besides Pei Ci, there's also Lu Ran. ...
Zhou Qu paused for a moment when the thought crossed his mind, but after a few seconds, he accepted it.
In fact, he was never a good person. He was born in a barren, dark street, where the air reeked of decay. His parents gave him life, but they also passed on their baseness to him. He once rebelled, preparing everything to run away from home and fly far away. This wasn't in pursuit of some so-called freedom or light; he simply didn't want to become a rotting corpse, thrown into a garbage dump to be eaten by crows and wild dogs.
He will take Pei Ci away not out of kindness, but simply because he wants to possess this flower for himself.
He nurtured it with his heart, his very soul, and all his energy and time, just so that he could become one with this flower, an eternal and inseparable existence.
And if this goal cannot be achieved, what's wrong with perishing along with the world?
Moreover, if this world were to be destroyed, there would be an extremely small chance that he could return to his original world and meet Ah Ci again.
After making this decision, Zhou Qu began his actions.
First, they locked onto the female protagonist of this world, a girl named Ye Qingyu, who also had a similar face and curly hair to Ye Lin, but possessed a gentleness and innocence that Ye Lin lacked.
“You…” Ye Lin blinked, “You are…”
The girl's reddish-brown eyes gazed at him quietly, which almost instantly reminded Zhou Qu of Pei Ci. She was the same, staying in the orphanage like a flower temporarily forgotten by the world, growing alone.
It seems that Ye Lin also projected A Ci's shadow onto her own persona.
Do you both love and hate it?
Zhou Qu's lips twitched. He didn't find it interesting, only annoying. A fake is a fake, and any resemblance is an insult to A Ci.
He frowned and walked away coldly. Given his status in this world, taking someone away was incredibly easy. He took the female lead away almost effortlessly.
However, this is just the beginning—
That very night, Zhou Qu suffered a terrifying backlash.
As the protagonist of this world, the chosen one, the world's consciousness wouldn't allow anyone to harm him. Thus, inexplicable accidents and inexplicable pain made his body feel like it was being squeezed into a mold every second, just waiting for the immense pressure to crush it. He endured the pain, slashing his wrists again and again, and then, under this extreme agony, he developed a new way of coping.
The female lead must be taken away.
But as long as you don't go against the world, it's fine.
So Zhou Qu let the female lead go. He calmly lay in wait in the shadows, repeating the plot he knew over and over in his mind. First, he replaced some unimportant people in the orphanage, and then he turned some core people against him, so that he could actually control the entire orphanage.
Then comes another line.
A happy but poor family, a resilient boy who hates the rich, a carefully orchestrated car accident, and the creation of a doll that harbors absolute hatred for the protagonist.
at last……
In the fire that occurs during the plot, the original female lead is replaced.
He calmly observed everything, watching the plot begin to go wrong, watching the male and female protagonists turn against each other, and watching the world consciousness try everything to bring them together but only pushes the two who already hated each other further and further apart.
He felt neither happy nor amused; he had no emotions whatsoever, simply waiting for the predetermined future that led to death.
However--
In the very end.
"ah--"
"Very good!!!!"
"She's saved! She's definitely saved!!!"
"This is really difficult."
"Zhou Songyin, my good son, thank goodness you're still alive."
The familiar voice, the familiar conversation, the familiar embrace made Zhou Qu open his eyes. Then, in just a few seconds, Zhou Qu accepted the fact that the world had restarted.
Is this world still struggling?
How many times will you restart?
Zhou Qu coldly pondered as he cut the skin on his arm.
Then it keeps failing again and again, and restarting again and again.
Of course, his consciousness wasn't always clear during this process. But whether it was a brief moment of lucidity unintentionally brought on by pain, or an unconscious, instinctive act of carrying out the task, he always managed to lead the world to its final conclusion.
However, the cycle cannot continue indefinitely.
After repeating this more than two hundred times, Zhou Qu decided to change his strategy.
Simply replacing the female lead, turning the male and female leads against each other, causing the main storyline to collapse and the world to be destroyed is not enough.
What if we let the supporting actors take the lead?
Let this...
Zhou Qu's gaze fell once again on Pei Ci, a character created based on Pei Ci and thus possessing countless possibilities.
if……
Will Pei Ci become the female lead?
Zhou Qu tried to put his ideas into action, and soon, the destruction of the world began to accelerate.
So Zhou Qu began to intentionally use various means to give Pei Ci the elements of a female lead, the male lead and male supporting characters liking her, and...
The female lead's heart.
In reality, Ye Lin donated her heart to A Ci.
In the novel, it makes perfect sense for Ye Lin's alter ego to transplant her heart to Pei Ci.
Zhou ruthlessly pushed forward with his plan.
once.
once.
Once again.
The world collapsed countless times, restarted countless times, the cycle went on for too long and happened too many times. In this endless repetition, he even forgot what he was doing, what he wanted to do, and why he was doing it.
He became a screw, a machine, a virus, taking root in this world, solely to lead it to destruction.
However, this seemingly endless cycle underwent a qualitative change in its final three cycles. Zhou Qu didn't know the reason for this, as his conscious time was becoming increasingly limited, but his premonition grew stronger and stronger…
The world is about to be destroyed.
Right here...
The last time.
*
"Tick-tock".
"Tick-tock. Tick-tock."
Zhou blinked, then the light returned. He looked down at his arm and realized that he had unknowingly cut himself again.
pain.
It hurts a lot.
But he has learned to remain expressionless.
After quickly bandaging his wound, he got up from his seat and walked to the operating table on the side.
Lifting the white surgical drape, one finds Ye Qingyu, her limbs shackled, her breath faint. From the moment she was brought here, she has been in a long, slumber. She will grow, but she will never open her eyes; she is a silent plant. Plants blossom and bear fruit, and so will she; her fruit will be devoured by another girl at the opportune moment.
Then, the world was destroyed with his death.
And today, at this very moment.
"Beep beep—"
"Beep beep—"
It was the ringing of the phone. After answering, Pei Chi's cold voice came from the other end, "A-Ci will be here in ten minutes."
"Get ready."
“Okay,” Zhou Qu said.
Today is the day for a heart transplant.
After hanging up the phone, Zhou took the surgical gown for the operation, put on white gloves, picked up the scalpel, and sat down, looking at the monitor screen again.
The screen showed Pei Ci's room. Pei Ci closed her eyes. The tall security guard tiptoed into the room and then gently lifted her up. The girl had her eyes closed, her lips pursed, and her face was expressionless, but her unparalleled beauty always shone brightly in the darkness.
She is so beautiful.
It's too eye-catching.
Anyone who sees him will be mesmerized.
Zhou Qu felt the same way. Looking at that familiar, beautiful face, he always felt a strange sensation. Especially during these three reincarnations, he often couldn't control his behavior. Despite being a detached observer and a cold-blooded doctor, he couldn't help but soften his stance, and sometimes, his gaze would involuntarily follow her…
but--
"Smack!"
Zhou slapped himself.
The slap brought him back to his senses. He felt ashamed of his behavior and attributed it to the influence of the world on him.
because……
Perhaps because the world has so much to offer the female lead, it's increasingly favoring her, even causing the characters to develop strange feelings towards her.
"Smack!"
Zhou Qu slapped himself again. Out of sight, out of mind, he turned off the monitor and sat silently in his seat.
One second.
Two seconds.
Three minutes.
Ten minutes...
As time ticked by, Zhou Qu suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of unease.
"bite."
That's the sound of the operating room door about to open.
Strangely enough, Zhou Qu felt a long-lost tranquility from that sound.
However, when he saw the people outside, his eyes widened.
It was indeed Pei Ci outside.
But besides Pei Ci, there's also Lu Ran.
Pei Ci was asleep in the stroller, pushed by Lu Ran. Lu Ran's expression was calm. He met Zhou Qu's eyes, and after a few seconds, he waved to Zhou Songyin. Then, Lu Ran calmly said:
"A-Ci asked me to pass on a message to you. She said—"
"I've found you, Dr. Zhou."
