"The target of my pursuit?!"
Am I hallucinating?
Seeing Xianglan's excited expression, Shen Qiyin couldn't help but have a bold guess, so she asked her for confirmation: "Do you know what it means?"
"If that's what I mean, then of course I know!" Xianglan thought to herself, no one knows better than me.
"What about the system?"
"The system?!" Xianglan's expression of shock grew increasingly exaggerated: "Miss, you even know about the system?!"
She grabbed Shen Qiyin's hand: "You wouldn't happen to have traveled here too, would you?"
"What is a cup of Imperial Jade Liquor plus a big hammer, minus a small hammer?"
Shen Xiyin was stunned.
She blinked twice with a blank expression, then silently reached out and touched Xianglan's forehead.
Seeing this, Xianglan sighed and resignedly said, "Fine, no."
The young lady had just mentioned language that didn't belong to this era, and given her drastic personality change earlier, she assumed that the young lady had also traveled through time like herself.
As it turns out, I was overthinking things.
but--
"How does Miss know about the target and the system?" Could she be the executor of this space's missions?
“I…” Shen Qiyin hesitated for a moment before saying, “I heard it.”
"Who told you that?"
“A guy called 'System'.”
Xianglan covered her mouth in surprise, as if she had discovered some earth-shattering secret: "You really are the mission executor!"
Shen Qiyin thought about her words for a moment, then slowly shook her head: "I am not, Huo Fanshuang is."
"Huo Fanshuang?!" What does that have to do with her?
“Every time I see Huo Fanshuang, I can hear that person who calls himself ‘the system’ talking to her, but I can only hear his voice and not what Huo Fanshuang is saying.”
Next, Shen Qiyin told Xianglan about her experiences and discoveries over the past few days in detail.
She always felt that since Xianglan could understand those words, she would most likely understand what was going on.
After all, her usual vocabulary was just as strange as that system's.
From beginning to end, Xianglan's mouth never closed.
Only after Shen Qiyin finished speaking did she raise her hand to gesture to her and say, "...Wait, wait a minute, there's too much information, let me digest it."
She originally thought that her ability to time travel was already bizarre enough, but she never expected that there would be something even more bizarre!
Miss can actually hear what the system is saying, isn't that an extra big and thick cheat code?
Xianglan went through the whole story carefully from beginning to end, explaining to Shen Qiyin as clearly as possible what a system and a strategy mission were.
"Based on my experience reading storybooks, most players are forced to accept missions, and only by completing the missions can they return to the real world."
"But according to what the system said to you, Miss, Huo Fanshuang is not like that."
"She accepted the mission to advance her status, which is different from what I knew."
"Also, most of these conquest missions occur between opposite sexes. The goal is to make the other person fall in love with you, or..."
"or?"
"Or it could be a correction of a plot that has gone astray, bringing the story back onto the right track."
Xianglan looked thoughtful: "Judging from Huo Fanshuang's various behaviors, as well as the so-called favorability rating from the system, she probably wants to show you goodwill and become your friend."
At this point, Xianglan suddenly paused, taken aback.
Huh?
There are many ways to become friends, so why does Huo Fanshuang always try to lecture the young lady, as if she has done something wrong that she shouldn't have done?
Does the system believe that the prostitute shouldn't be behaving this way?
Xianglan was puzzled: "Could it be the second possibility?"
Compared to her uncertainty, Shen Qiyin's tone was much more certain: "Yes."
"How did you know, Miss?!" And you were so sure.
"Because things have developed in a way that deviated from your original plan."
She was reborn!
Everything changed the moment she refused to go to the Qin residence.
Huo Fanshuang's appearance may be for this reason.
In other words, the plot she wanted to change was to make herself like a cripple, unable to interfere in anything anymore, and ultimately die two years later.
Or to put it more bluntly, there's no need to wait two years; she's going to die on her own!
But then she couldn't figure it out again.
If what I'm guessing is true, then why doesn't she just kill me?
"Miss?" Xianglan waved her hand in front of her eyes. "What are you thinking about?"
“I suspect Huo Fanshuang’s ultimate goal is to kill me, but I can’t understand why she doesn’t do it herself.” Shaking her head, she said softly, “Perhaps I’m wrong.”
But Xianglan clapped her hands excitedly after hearing this: "That's it!"
She suddenly stared at Shen Qiyin and asked with a serious expression, "Miss, please answer this question for me. You must not hide anything, because this is very important."
"you say."
"You..." Xianglan swallowed hard, and asked nervously, "Have you died once before?"
Chen Xiyin's gaze froze.
Xianglan pressed on, "In our hometown, we call it rebirth!"
"Have you been reborn?"
Her personality has undergone a complete transformation compared to before; the only explanation besides time travel is rebirth.
This also explains why Huo Fanshuang came to correct some plot point.
Their eyes met, and Shen Qiyin remained silent for a moment before finally saying in a low voice, "It's not just in your hometown; here too, it's called rebirth."
