Chapter 83: Scene 41 "The Real Halftime"
It was the first time He Yuezhe had experienced such thoughtful service. She only needed to lie still while someone turned the pages and offered her water.
"Come on," she shouted to the system.
"Hehe, if I had known I wouldn't have chosen this super sweet, delicious, round, plump, giant underwater grape for you, less than 10 meters from the target."
The system hummed a few times, walked over slowly, and helped her turn another page of the diary.
"But host, after looking at it for so long, don't your eyes really hurt?"
"It hurts, it hurts, but the diary looks better."
"Hey, host, your health is more important."
"oh."
In the last ten minutes when his vision was blocked, He Yuezhe barely managed to finish reading the entire diary.
"It seems that Twenty is indeed from the previous world."
"But her relationship with Wuming..."
"Wu Ming obviously knew Shi Zao, Shi Ban, and Shi Wu. She even gave two of them their names."
"But the bus driver should have said 20 at first, and then changed to 12:30. You can tell from his tone and behavior."
"Then how did Twenty know these three people?"
"Soul swapping, memory sharing...if that's really the case."
"——The concept of 'isotope' can explain this very well."
"After all, Twenty had already discussed this with Shi Zao on the phone while we were on the bus."
"But Twenty and Wuming don't belong to the same world."
"And in the previous world, the concept of 'isotopes' did not exist."
"Could it be that—"Isotope" actually just a local term here, and that this kind of person can actually transcend the world?"
"Um……"
"Based on the description in the diary and the conversation I overheard between Twenty and Wuming a few days ago."
In order to avoid forgetting, He Yuezhe decided to tell the system all his guesses from the moment he turned into a grape.
——Although the system could have seen "all" of her memories.
"In other words, there are indeed three completely different souls in this world: Wuming, Shihan, and Twenty."
"If the contents of the diary are completely correct, then the correspondence between the soul and the body at that time was—"
"Inside Tokihan's body is Wuming, inside Twenty's body is Twenty, and inside Wuming's body... well, I can't be sure yet."
"After the first exchange between the three of us, which was probably until about three months ago, the number in the Time and a Half body was always twenty."
"After Twenty's body was abandoned, a body named 'Chen Shu' appeared, and within it resided an unnamed soul."
"Now, the situation is exactly the same as it was at the beginning."
"It's just that the body used by Twenty changed from 'Twenty' to 'Chen Shu'."
"But if you think about it this way, then the number of people who form a 'co-topic' relationship with the body of 'Shiban' is a bit too much."
"Why is 'Time and a Half' so special?"
"Also, the strange thing is, where did the 'real Shiban' go...?"
"Hello?" A simple and honest voice suddenly appeared.
"Gululu."
“Pah.”
This was the first time in real life that He Yuezhe heard someone talking to her in the 11 days since she turned into a grape.
"Why aren't you talking?"
"I want to talk, too."
"This grape is you, isn't it?"
"Rustle."
It seemed as if something soft was slowly approaching her.
"I, I touched you! You really are a grape, but how can a grape—"
"——Why are you so big??!"
The system seemed to have brought the syringe back to its small space and was now broadcasting the images to He Yuezhe in real time.
"Host, this little nut actually has facial features and limbs!"
"Nuts... senses and limbs?"
"Hey, don't you have eyes? How can you see what I look like?"
"Host!! It actually knew the conversation between you and me!!!"
"...It seems like it can only hear me."
"Who are you talking to? Aren't we the only ones here?"
"Host, it has retreated in fear. The distance between you is now approximately 57cm."
"It's right behind you. Why don't you pay attention to it? It will get angry and sad!"
"Maybe I'll eat you in one bite!! Hahahahahahahahahahaha!" He Yuezhe couldn't help laughing even after threatening.
"You, are you serious?! There's really something behind me?!?"
"Host, it covered its heart with both hands, with a strange expression on its face, as if it was really frightened by you."
"So stupid, it's not fun at all." He Yuezhe said with a snort.
"You lied to me? Why would you lie to me? Can grapes lie? Are you really a grape?"
"Host, its expression changed to hurt."
"I'm not a grape."
"Then what are you? You look just like all the grapes I've seen."
"I am—I won't tell you! Hehe, then tell me, what species are you?"
"I'm a nut, the kind you can eat. It's just that I'm special and can't eat it."
"What makes you special?"
"My body is made of cotton. If people eat cotton, they will choke. That's why you can't eat me. Isn't that special?"
"That's not so special at all! Aren't there many people like you?"
"Yeah, I have a lot of family, just like me."
"Host, its eyes are starting to light up. It seems you've touched upon something it enjoys."
"Then you're not special anymore. How dare you say you're..."
“…”
“…?”
“…”
“Wuwu ...
"What? Host, you actually scolded it?!!"
"This is utterly immoral. As your personal eunuch, I must strictly monitor your every word and action! So you should apologize to it immediately!"
He Yuezhe: ???
"I just said a few words to you, don't cry."
"Ooooooooooooooooooo, if I'm not special, no one will like me anymore."
"H-Ahem, how could that be! I really like you."
"But you just said to me wu ...
"Okay, I love you the most. You are my favorite nut. Don't cry."
"Hmmmmmmmmmm, really?..."
If He Yuezhe wasn't a grape now without limbs, she would definitely knock the nut open with one punch!
"Host, please don't open the shell. The inside of this nut must be very unpalatable! You should eat me instead!!"
“…”
"Wuwu ...
“???”
^
“Host, I really can’t do anything else, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!”
"Woooooooooo!"
"It's too noisy! I can't hear what Twenty is saying. You two, be quiet within three seconds!"
“No no no ahh ...!”
"3."
"What's wrong with you? Ughhhhhhhhhh!"
"2."
"Host, save—"
"1."
"Hey, why did it fly out by itself?"
Two days have passed since Little Nut's visit.
He Yuezhe was already familiar with its energy fluctuations and could basically tell when, where and what it was doing.
"It's learned to fly, that's a good thing. Go praise it and come back to me later."
"Oh, oh, okay. Elf, here I come!"
^
After transferring the energy used to detect the location of the small nut to Twenty, the sound was indeed much clearer.
"Suicide note... Hey, how do you write a suicide note?"
"You, I don't even know how to write this kind of font, how can I use it as a reference? Aren't you putting me in a difficult position?"
"Bad signal? You're doing this again. How many times have you done this? You're so shameless."
"Okay, that's good. Be quicker next time."
"Don't turn off the screen, aren't you the system panel? How can you turn off the screen every 20 seconds?"
"By the way, do you have a name?"
"I, I decided to include you in the suicide note, after all—"
"Hey, hey, hey, I mean, you still helped me a lot. Even though I hate you, I, I am the kind of person who will fall in love with you over time."
"So, I decided not to bother with you!"
"No? Haha ...
"You, you, you can still take out the things I deposited earlier? But what is this thing, ugh, it stinks!!"
"It really stinks, take it back quickly, quickly, quickly——"
"vomit……"
"I know, I know. I won't say that to you anymore! Take it back now!!"
“…”
There was a sound of something breaking, followed by the sound of a human body colliding with something hard.
"Hey, you..."
“You you you you you are a real person??!”
"Wait, don't come any closer—"
"Bang--!!!"
“Sizzle—!!!”
"Shiban, are you crazy?!!"
"I didn't—, I just—!!"
The sound of quarreling suddenly appeared, and even the space where He Yuezhe was began to shake!
"Host, we have detected extremely strong emotional fluctuations in the target!"
"Please pay attention to the mission completion time!!"
"Wow, why is there an earthquake? Sister, let me support you, be careful!"
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
"Half an hour!!!"
The quarrel became louder and louder, and He Yuezhe felt that his ears were about to be deafened.
“HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Let me kill you, let me kill you!”
"Then He Yuezhe will come and kill me. She will come and kill me. Haha ...!!!!!"
"You, you, you are really crazy!!"
Twenty's voice was accompanied by heavy gasps. She seemed to be strangled by the neck and her breathing became gradually difficult.
"I'm a villain, I'm a villain!! I'm destined to die!!"
Is this... "real half time"?
How could she suddenly appear here!?
"No no no no no, Twenty, come and kill me, come and kill me!!! I don't want to die at the hands of He Yuezhe, come and kill me!!"
"You haven't killed anyone yet, have you?!"
“Come on, come and taste the honey of death hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!”
The human voice disappeared after these words, and the only sound that could be heard was the sound of metal fighting against human bodies.
"Can I speak? Just for one minute!" He Yuezhe asked anxiously.
"Host, the target has only a 0.00000001% chance of winning this argument. Please do not interfere."
The system voice was indifferent.
"You are now only about 1 meter away from the target. The mission 'Accompany the target until death' will be considered a success."
“Only 1 meter”? !
Doesn't that mean Twenty is right there, separated from me by just a wall?!
But where's the sound? Why is there no sound at all?!
Statement, statement, my little statement, are you still there? !
Please... I don't want to watch your body die, I can't do it, I can't do it...!!
Briefly, I think...
【Xiaozhe, I'm here. 】
Chen...Shu...? It's really you!
[Xiaozhe, I will grant you one wish, tell me quickly? ]
...I want you to be with me forever and ever!
...Okay?
【good. 】
…
"One, half!" Twenty's voices rang out at the same time, "You lunatic!"
"Host?!!!"
"Hahahahaha, is that all you can say?!"
"What else do you want?!"
"Twenty, you've known for a long time that Wuming and I are two souls in one body, right?!"
"Two souls in one body"! ?
"Why didn't you tell her? Why did you help me hide it from her?!!"
“Because, because…!”
"No wonder Shiban's body is so special," He Yuezhe frowned, "it turns out to be 'one body, two souls'."
"Two different souls are entangled together, each of them has so many 'alienations' that they can constantly shuttle through this body."
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT HER TO KILL ME, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!!"
"Twenty!! You're so ridiculous hahahahahahahahaha!!!!"
"No wonder I can't find the body that originally belonged to Wuming from any traces in this world."
“—Because Wuming and Shihan’s bodies are originally one!”
"You're not continuing now because you don't want to hurt Wuming, right?!"
"Look at you, you're covered in wounds!!"
"And me?! And I—"
“Puff…Puff…”
"You still haha ...
What will be the skill of twenty?
There was the sound of flesh exploding again, followed by the sound of fluid flowing.
"Goodbye, Shiban."
"...Goodbye...Wuming..."
"Host, failed again."
"With a 0.00000001% probability, how come the target of this mission still hasn't died?"
"Host, do you want to keep up the good work?"
^
"Host."
"what."
"Host, we've detected a violation on your part. All your senses will be shut down before the 15th day of using this body. After the 15th day, you will be automatically assigned another body."
“…”
"Host, I'm sorry, this wasn't my intention. It's just that the platform is very strict, and if they find out about even the smallest mistake, they'll harp on you for a long time. This is the punishment I fought for, so it's considered very light."
“…”
"Please forgive me."
“…Ah, is this… a reminder?”
