Chapter 137: Second Scene [I’m Back to Find You]
"A special message has been detected and will be played automatically for you soon!"
“Beep—”
"Hello, this savior from another world. I am Liu Hui, the original owner of the body you will be using this time."
"Seven years ago, I died in an accident. What you see now are just the last words I left when I signed the agreement with the platform."
"So, don't be afraid, I absolutely will not hurt you!"
"I know that many others who 'voluntarily gave up their existence' might not leave a last message like I did. You might also be wondering if I have some particularly important task to entrust to you."
"But no, it's not like that. I just, I just want to talk to you."
"Say hello again, hello, the salvation master from another world."
"Excuse me, in the worlds you have experienced, is there anyone who has a happy family that is like heaven?"
"Excuse me, in those worlds, are there people who have lots of good friends, who play together, laugh together, and cry together all day long?"
"Excuse me, in those worlds, is there anyone who lives an ordinary student life, grows up healthy and happy, and finally marries someone she really loves, who also really loves her?"
"Excuse me, in the world you see, are there such people?"
"Is she happy?"
"Is she happy?"
"Is she healthy?"
"I know that every existence has its own equivalent."
"So I thought, if the questions I asked, if your answers... if, if there really is such a person..."
"Master, I know full well that my life is not happy, joyful, or healthy."
"Just looking at those people crying and begging me, threatening me with their frightened faces, I just couldn't bring myself to do it."
"It's not because I'm afraid of them, nor because I can't beat them."
"It's just because someone once told me that if I did that, I would be arrested and the life I had left would be cut short because of those bastards."
"So, if possible, please take my place, live on in my place, and find that truly happy life in my place."
"Finally, Master, many of them dislike me, even hate me. Your movements may not be very convenient. I'm really sorry to cause you trouble."
"I'm sorry for letting you know about my miserable life. I'm sorry for making you bear their malice on my behalf. I'm sorry for putting you in a difficult position."
"...Well, that's all for now. Farewell, salvation master from another world! Have a pleasant journey!"
The existence of "Liu Hui" was very heavy. She was held in He Yuezhe's arms, but she floated into the void again and again.
Unlike the original owner of the body in the previous world, "Liu Hui" seemed to have only malice in her past. The only bit of kindness that could be squeezed out was when "Liu Hui" was abandoned by her parents as a child. Her grandmother, who had been "missing" for many years, stuffed the key with her home address engraved on it into her hand before she died. The key could not open the door, but it could not open the door.
He Yuezhe picked up the rusty old key on the ground that was constructed by "Liu Hui's" imagination and inserted it into the iron door in front of him with layers of couplets pasted on it.
The iron gate opened, and outside, a small, well-behaved little girl was carrying a bag of meat with difficulty.
"Mom, I'm back!" The girl smiled and waved towards the door.
Warm sunlight poured into the door with the girl's brisk steps, but stopped in front of a beer bottle that rolled out.
He Yue turned back.
He was a very strong man. He was pulling a woman's hair and beating her hard with his fists.
The girl rushed in, into the pitch-black darkness.
The girl kicked the beer bottle away and kicked it out of the closed iron door.
So it rolled and rolled, rolled down the stairs, and rolled in front of a butcher's shop.
The conversation between a man and a madman in a butcher's shop, their fantasy about a "cute" little girl, echoed in its belly.
Afterwards, the beer bottle was crushed by a passerby and picked up by a sanitation worker and thrown into the trash can.
In the trash can, it heard gossip about the trash from that supposedly aristocratic school.
It is said that there was a girl with extremely bad behavior in that school. She had a very bad relationship with her classmates, was isolated by the teacher, and had an unclear relationship with the school doctor.
Soon, all the garbage in the trash can was dumped into the garbage truck.
After a period of darkness, the beer bottle appeared on a pile of garbage.
An old woman with difficulty walking and smelling of garbage climbed up and picked it up.
From that point on, a beer bottle wasn't just a beer bottle anymore.
Because there was a very special string of symbols on its body, and even its body was bent into a special shape by the old woman.
Then, it and many of its friends met the little girl again.
The little girl still smiled. She hugged them and said that although she had no home, she would give them a home.
Beer Bottle thought: I don’t believe it, she must have a family!
However, it was not until the beer bottle watched itself pierce the girl's neck that it realized that this girl really had no home.
Blood was everywhere, almost obscuring He Yuezhe's vision.
All she could hear was the quarrel between several people in the distance and the creaking sound of a door opening, and then Ji Xiaogao's murmurs.
"Ding Dong! Congratulations, you've unlocked the side quest: Revenge for Liu Hui! After completing this side quest, you can liberate the original owner, Liu Hui, and gain more energy!"
He Yuezhe finally opened his eyes.

"Hello everyone, I'm number 10, Liu Hui."
He Yuezhe looked up and quietly looked at Liu Zhaodi, who was trembling all over and with bruises on her face, and was right across the room from her.
"Mom," He Yuezhe said without a word. He just opened his mouth slightly and said to Liu Zhaodi with a smile, "I'm back to find you."
"Liu as in willow leaf, Hui as in comet." She leaned closer to the microphone and her voice reappeared, "Everyone, please remember my name."
"Liu Hui? Is that the Liu Hui from the class that graduated seven years ago? But didn't I hear..." The voice came from Room 8. It was a man wearing a half-black mask.
"Number 8, I don't think now is the time to talk about this." said the woman in room 7 wearing a black mask with hair.
"Ah, No. 7, have we met somewhere before? You actually know about this too?"
"Okay, can you guys be quiet? That incident isn't a big deal. Is it necessary to keep talking about it from dinner time until now?" This was Wanxiang. She was wearing a black red mask that only covered the lower half of her face.
"Yeah, everyone should be quiet." In Room 3, which is next to Wanxiang's Room 2, a man wearing a half-face mask that was red to black echoed.
"Tsk, that's right, my daughter. I haven't said anything yet, but you guys are talking about it here, as if I don't exist!!" It was Dai Weiguo, and the information of a certain beer was printed on his mask.
"Weiguo, please be quiet..." Liu Zhaodi lowered her head and spoke in a timid voice. The black full-face mask on her face blocked most of her voice.
"Damn it, especially you, you damn bitch. It's just a daughter, isn't it? If she dies, she dies. You're still trying to stop me. Are you asking for a beating?!"
"Uncle, isn't it not nice for you to say that?" This was Ban Weile, who had just chatted with He Yuezhe. He was wearing a clown mask and sitting in the room with the number 1 on it.
"Hey, what are you looking for a beating? What are you looking for a beating? Is Liu Hui here? Where is she? Let her come to me!" A madman in the room on the other side of He Yuezhe, with a crooked hood on his head.
"Are you the one living downstairs at Liu Hui's house? I didn't expect that she would come to you even though you are such a bad person? It seems that she really is the kind of person who would do that kind of thing. I guess she has no other friends except me." Ji Xiaogao's voice came coldly from the opposite side of He Yuezhe.
"Character Zhang Luo has appeared!"
"The character Tan Renshou has appeared!"
"Character Wanshu has appeared!"
"The character Ba Ergou has appeared!"
"It seems everyone has remembered my name..."
"Hello, participant number 10. As you can see, what is displayed before you, visible only to you, is your identity for this game."
"Please don't tell anyone who you are, and don't show any strange reactions."
"Because this game involves your 'life', I hope you will carefully consider every step."
A few large words flashing with blue light were engraved on a rectangular card with a girl's bright smile on her face. They appeared in front of He Yuezhe just as she opened her mouth.
—Wait, that's Liu Hui in this photo!?
"After the [self-introduction], the night will officially begin."
"Hey, Liu Hui, are you done talking? If you're done, pass the conversation to the next person! Can't you see there are so many of us waiting here?!"
"Well, that's the end of the character introductions, Number 10, have fun."
"Dad," He Yuezhe turned his head and looked at Dai Weiguo, "People who talk too much are more likely to die."
"Hey, you little bastard—"
"[Speaking] Authority has been transferred to No. 1!"
"Number 1 used the 'Everyone Mute' power!"
"Everyone has been arguing for so long, you must be tired, it's better to take a break."
Since Ban Weile's room was right next to He Yuezhe's room, she couldn't clearly see Ban Weile's expression and could only hear what he said.
"I'm number 1, Xiong Le, you can call me Little Bear."
"If you need any help, you can come to me. I will help you as long as I can solve it."
"hope……"
"I hope, I hope everyone can be more peaceful. After all, if we kill each other here, we will only serve the organizer's will and we won't be able to escape."
"[Speaking] Authority has been transferred to No. 2!"
"It's my turn?" A woman's lazy voice came from Room 2.
"I'm Wanxiang, and I think everyone here knows me, especially some of you... well, I'm not a stingy person, so if I escape from here, I can give some of you some money."
"But, I'm quite picky and I have mysophobia. If you don't serve me well, I can make you lose your heads in a minute."
"Ah, it seems nothing..."
"Oh," Wanxiang changed the subject, "By the way, everyone, I'd like to kindly remind you that in this game, my identity is a [Witch]."
"If you want these two bottles of medicine in my hand, please do your best to please me."
"Of course, I also want to give a special reminder to our student No. 10, Liu Hui."
"Don't you know yet? Your parents love money more than you love them. If I just beckon you..."
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! So I advise you to learn them and please me as soon as possible. Otherwise, if one day I can't stand you anymore, you will die, okay?"
"[Speaking] Authority has been transferred to No. 3!"
Wanxiang was laughing so hard that her extremely exquisite and elegant suit was wrinkled by her movements.
He Yuezhe just looked at her, then looked at his own identity, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
