"Host, welcome to Amiens."
The familiar system voice rang in his ears, and Li Yuebai felt himself slowly floating up in the ocean of consciousness, becoming more awake bit by bit.
Amiens...star?
This time, even the Earth is gone?
Come to think of it, the system's voice sounds familiar.
"It's you again?" Li Yuebai asked back, "The system you wore last time?"
"Yes, it's still me." The system replied politely.
"good."
Compared with previous systems, this system is closer to a robot, has no emotions, and speaks very calmly. Although I am not 100% satisfied with it, it is better than getting a system that goes against me in every way.
No bad news is the best news.
As for the Star of Amiens...
"We are wearing this..."
"Interstellar." The system replied politely: "Welcome to the boundless and vast galaxy."
It was said to be a boundless and vast galaxy, but after Li Yuebai opened his eyes, what he saw was a white temple. He was standing in the center of the temple. No matter which direction he looked, he could only see the interior of the temple.
The material of the temple looks very much like snow-white marble, but it is much more delicate than marble. A dozen white stone pillars rise high into the clouds, supporting the dome above. The dome is engraved with stars. There are no statues in the temple, only a huge... halo hanging in the center?
That halo looked the same as the moonlight bracelet on his wrist, except that it was magnified a thousand times. It seemed to be weightless, emitting a soft light, suspended in the air, motionless, as if it had been there since the beginning of the world.
"What is this halo? Is it important?" Li Yuebai asked the system.
"Host, you don't need to ask me this question." The system said helplessly: "You should ask yourself."
Too.
The first moment Li Yuebai opened his eyes, his gaze was attracted by the temple and the huge halo, and he didn't even bother to look at himself.
This time, no mirror was needed.
The floor was pitch black, I couldn't tell if it was obsidian or black agate, but it was polished to a very bright shine, reflecting people's shadows clearly like a mirror.
The outfit is more like a Japanese anime style, white in color, and a bit like the Pope's robe, solemn and gorgeous, with complex patterns decorated on the edges. She wears a silver necklace around her neck with a ring at the end.
Even the top of the staff in his hand was in the shape of a ring.
Li Yuebai brought the staff in front of him and took a closer look. The ring on the top was made of metal and was polished to a very bright finish. His face was reflected on it.
It was a very beautiful face, slightly long, with a slightly pointed chin, light grey eyes with a smile, a very gentle expression, and long silver grey hair. The whole person seemed to be shrouded in a layer of holy light.
It has both divinity and friendliness, and is very suitable for expressing God's mercy and love.
Li Yuebai smiled.
"System, what do you think?"
"If I were a human, I would be willing to half-kneel in front of you, begging you to touch my head and pray for me." The system thought seriously for a moment and replied.
"The original owner must be very good at doing this." Li Yuebai looked back at the huge halo again.
The original owner's memories have been imported into the brain, and everything in the temple is clearly defined in the mind.
Amiens is the capital of the state of the Halo Church.
The Star Ring Church State has a very small territory - it only owns a small galaxy. It is a peaceful country founded on religion.
The halo worshipped in the temple is a symbol of the Star Ring God. The Star Ring Cult - most of the residents on Amiens are devout believers of the Star Ring Cult. Of course, the Star Ring Cult has more than just these believers, its believers are spread throughout the universe and on countless planets.
It can be compared to the Vatican in the real world... Li Yuebai understood it secretly.
The original owner was the high priest of the Star Ring Church State, and was deeply loved by believers. Even those who did not believe in the Star Ring Church could not help but fall in love with his beauty and kindness.
"So, it really is the Virgin Mary this time?"
"Perhaps this is a deliberate arrangement made by the Lord God for you..." The system guessed: "Host, I still remember what you said in the last time."
"I've said too many things. Which one?" Li Yuebai said casually.
"You say you have Madonna syndrome... and you ask in return - is the Madonna wrong?"
That's true.
In recent years, many characters in literary works have been criticized by readers as being too saintly.
This means that the character is not only kind, but also too kind. He lacks the necessary vigilance and the necessary decisiveness to kill, which will lead to bad consequences.
But no matter what, Li Yuebai thinks it is better for people to be kinder.
"So, the Lord God's arrangement this time may be to let you once again experience in person how unlucky the Holy Mother can be." said the system.
"Oh? How did I get into trouble again after wearing this?" Li Yuebai paced a few steps on the dark mirror-like ground. If it wasn't for maintaining the character's image, he would have wanted to sneer: "Does the Lord God really have no new tricks?"
"There's something new." The system said, "Your character has suffered some kind of mental torture this time."
"Which one?" Li Yuebai carefully recalled the past few days and felt that he had seen all kinds of mental torture.
"People like you..." the system said slowly, "Of course it hurts when you get hurt, but that's not the scariest thing. The scariest thing is when you hurt the person you love with your own hands."
"I never hurt people I like." Li Yuebai said decisively.
The definition of liking is very broad. In Li Yuebai's view, it has nothing to do with love. Friends and even students can be considered.
"Host, your answer is too decisive. It may be self-hypnosis." The system said coldly: "According to the data, you have done things that hurt people."
"..." Li Yuebai only felt a sudden pain in his temple.
"When you were a teacher in the real world, you once wrongly punished a student. Later you found out that it was a misunderstanding, but it was too late to remedy it..." The system said.
Li Yuebai's whole body tensed up.
My heart felt like it was stabbed by a knife, and every nerve in my body was trembling with pain.
He remembered the feeling, the regret and guilt, but he couldn't remember what it was exactly... Maybe because he felt so guilty, the memory was erased.
"The system doesn't want to bring up the past with you, it just wants to remind you how painful this feeling is." The system said, "Now your character is facing the same dilemma - he is about to hurt the person he loves with his own hands under the deception of the enemy, and he will make mistakes again and again and cannot make up for it. Until this planet is destroyed, there is no way to escape this fate."
"Will this planet be destroyed?" Li Yuebai tried to calm his breathing, stroked his aching heart, and looked outside the temple.
The Star of Amiens is indeed extremely beautiful.
The temple was built on a high mountain, with a very high terrain and a panoramic view. It was spring outside. In the rosy red sky, several huge planets were shining with colorful lights. Under the rosy red sky was a blue-green ocean. On the sea level, huge white ships could be clearly seen coming and going. Dark green trees were growing lushly, and brick-red houses were dotted between the trees. It was daytime and the sunlight was very good. Although the light was no longer provided by the sun in the solar system, but by another star, Li Yuebai still habitually called it sunlight.
"Yes, it will be destroyed. This is all because your character has contracted the Virgin Mary syndrome... Your character is the sinner of Amiens." said the system.
"What time is it now? Is it too late to make up for it?" Li Yuebai looked down at this planet which looked pretty good. He felt that it was peaceful and tranquil, and it didn't seem like anything bad had happened.
"It's like this, host. You have arrived here in advance. At this point in time, no disaster has occurred." The system explained: "In order to help you better understand the plot, the system has given you a chance to experience it yourself. However, at present, you can only experience the development of the plot yourself and cannot change the original owner's wrong decision."
"When can I completely control the original owner's body?"
"Wait until the original owner makes the first mistake." The system said
"The mistake had already been made. Can it be undone?" Li Yuebai said angrily.
"Sorry, host." The system's voice sounded a little sad.
When the Lord God wants to torture someone, there are countless ways to do it, and the system is powerless to disobey the Lord God's orders.
"I refuse." Li Yuebai said sternly, "You let me watch the plot unfold without being able to change anything. Am I still a time traveler?"
"If you refuse, the system can adjust the time for you." The system said: "You can be directly sent to the time when you can truly control the original owner's body, that is, after the original owner made the first mistake..."
Li Yuebai weighed the pros and cons and decided to maintain the current model.
At least I can see all the plots clearly, so I don't have to read a lot of introductions later.
"Host, someone is coming." The system reminded.
Li Yuebai stood beside the stone pillars of the temple, looking down at the snow-white steps that extended all the way up from the foot of the mountain.
In fact, even if the system didn't say it, he would have noticed that someone was walking up from the bottom of the stairs.
He was a young man in a black uniform. The closer he got, the clearer his appearance could be seen - he was very tall, with broad shoulders and long legs. The black military uniform was tailored exquisitely and elegantly, perfectly outlining his body lines. He had black hair and black eyes, and his facial features were sharp and handsome. The light in his eyes seemed to be able to pierce through the clouds. He did not bring any attendants with him, but he naturally exuded the elegance of someone who had been in a high position for a long time.
"Host," the system asked seriously, "Do you like this person?"
"..." Li Yuebai found it difficult to answer that he didn't like it.
"I like it." After hesitating for a few seconds, he answered frankly.
"Oh." The system said solemnly.
Li Yuebai felt like he was facing a gossipy companion. What was even more terrifying was that this companion was gossiping in such a serious tone.
"No, system, don't get the wrong idea. I mean," Li Yuebai said helplessly, "Take a close look at that person. And then make your own judgment... Is there anyone who doesn't like him?"
"Yes, you are right." The system agreed seriously.
Li Yuebai found it difficult to take his eyes off the visitor. While looking at him, he listened to the system chattering on and on about the visitor's identity.
"His name is Lei Ares. He is the youngest admiral of the Star Ring Church. He is from a noble family and is impeccable in every way, except that he has a somewhat violent personality. He is an aggressive military genius... and also your best friend."
"Best friend?" Li Yuebai searched the original owner's memory and found that it was indeed the case.
The original owner and Lei had known each other since they were teenagers. Although their concepts and strategies were very different, they appreciated each other and established an unbreakable relationship.
"The original owner had a very good vision." Li Yuebai said.
"Oh, by the way, the original owner's memory bank will not contain things that happened in the future, but as a system, I must remind you." The system said word by word: "This person will be killed by you in the future."
"What?" Li Yuebai's heart sank.
"According to the original plot, you would have done your best to help him and save him, but such behavior led to his death." said the system.
"..." Li Yuebai was silent for a long time, and cursed the Lord God in his heart again.
"And you will suffer from regret for a long time... until the end of time." The system added.
"No matter what the original plot is." After cursing the Lord God, Li Yuebai came back to his senses: "Since I'm here, this person will not die."
