The Villain's Journey of Pursuing Love (Part 1):
Since moving into the island, influenced by Sang Luo, Ji Congwu would take some time to sleep every day.
So much so that at first, when he found himself standing in a pure white and bright space, he thought he was dreaming.
Ji Congwu rarely dreams.
People like him wouldn't even like to dream.
I took two careless steps, just as I was about to escape from the dream—
His special ability did not disappear. Although he could not stop dreaming due to his strong mental strength, he could wake himself up with strong self-control after knowing that he was dreaming.
Surprisingly, it failed.
He didn't wake up.
Still in this space.
Ji Congwu immediately realized that this was not a dream mirror.
His consciousness was forcibly pulled into this space.
Ordinary people would probably panic or become alert and uneasy when faced with such a situation.
First of all, Ji Congwu is not an ordinary person.
Secondly, he does not have these emotions.
And he wasn't even angry.
Living on the island with Sang Luo for more than a year has helped Ji Congwu feel more relaxed.
People naturally become much calmer as a result.
He looked around leisurely, and even straightened the wrinkles on his collar.
Since the other party was able to pull him into this space silently, killing him would be easy.
Taking this trouble only means that you have something to ask him.
Sure enough, not long after, a magnificent humanoid figure appeared, which seemed to be formed by the combination of countless stars.
Ji Congwu looked at him with a faint smile on his lips.
His demeanor was unhurried, even nonchalant, quite like Sang Luo.
"You can call me the Lord God." The voice of this figure was difficult to tell whether it was male or female, and it contained a unique rhythm that seemed to soothe people's hearts.
Ji Congwu's expression remained unchanged, and he only raised his voice slightly, "Lord God?"
He almost subconsciously glanced at the other's arm - he certainly remembered the arm that caused the two monsters to evolve rapidly, and Sang Luo told him that the arm was cut off from the god.
At this time, the Lord God gently raised his hand, separated a ray of star data from his fingers and drilled into Ji Congwu's eyebrows.
The latter's eyes trembled slightly, and countless information poured into his mind.
…
Ji Congwu finally understood why Sang Luo saved him at first, but later didn't kill him when he could.
She said someone didn't want him to die.
Because this "person" is the rule by which the world operates.
And he is just the ultimate villain of a doomsday novel, and this world is formed by this novel.
As the biggest villain, such an important character, if he dies, the world will collapse.
As for Sang Luo, she was the tasker selected by the System Bureau.
If every book could form a world, Sang Luo would have visited countless worlds.
No wonder she said she had killed countless people like him.
The man's long eyelashes were slightly lowered, casting a light shadow on his fair skin.
There was no extra expression on his face, and the corners of his lips were still curved as before.
It just looks a lot more vague.
It's like standing on the edge of a cliff, and you can fall into the abyss if you are not careful.
After a few seconds, Ji Zongwu raised his eyes, his eyes were dark and it was impossible to tell the emotions surging inside.
He said calmly, "Your Excellency, Lord God, what is your purpose in telling me this?"
The Lord God asked him in a calm and gentle voice, "Are you satisfied with your current life?"
Perhaps it was a little unexpected, Ji Congwu raised his eyebrows slightly: "Of course."
The Lord God: "Your inner desires and wishes don't seem to indicate this."
Ji Congwu's eyes were deep, but he still used Sang Luo's accent: "Oh." He imitated it perfectly.
Then he stopped talking.
The Lord God was not angry at his disrespect. On the contrary, the data flowing in His body became visibly brighter.
Then he pointed his finger into the void, and the data flowed out from his finger.
Immediately, a holographic video played in front of Ji Congwu.
…
In the pure white and cold laboratory, the entire right wall is occupied by various data display screens, and several researchers, wearing protective clothing from head to toe and with their faces unclear, are walking around in a hurry.
On the operating table on the other side, a baby girl about a few months old was lying quietly with a breathing tube in her mouth.
A researcher took a knife and cut open the baby girl's head.
There was a camera set up next to him. He seemed to have just remembered and said to the camera: "The twenty-third experiment begins."
The man began performing delicate surgery on the baby girl's brain.
The image suddenly paused.
Ji never heard the voice of the Lord God:
"The human brain is very powerful. It can send and receive commands and control every part of the body."
"It involves emotion, intelligence, balance..."
"A human being is like a blank sheet of paper when he is born. As time passes and he grows older, this plain white sheet of paper gradually becomes colorful."
"But what if there is a surgery that can modify this ordinary white paper into an extraordinary white paper?"
"Then, on this now-no longer ordinary white paper, they scribble whatever they desire and sign their name. This white paper, now a painting, belongs entirely to them, and they have the power to modify or destroy it."
The Lord God said this and stopped talking.
Ji Congwu naturally added: "Actually, it's just about transforming the brain."
The Lord God remained silent, and with a tap of his finger, the image replayed.
The baby girl's surgery is complete.
The researcher in charge of the operation threw away the scalpel with a clang, ignoring the blood on his hands, his excited eyes flashing with a creepy madness:
"I feel it! I feel it!! This time it will definitely work!!!"
The scene changed to show the researcher's angry scream.
The baby girl whom he asserted would definitely succeed did wake up, could crawl, move and eat, but there was no light in her eyes.
She can see, but she won't react to the outside world.
And the high IQ that those people expect is simply zero.
In other words, the baby girl became stupid after the operation.
In other words, she just keeps her body "alive", but the active areas of her brain are empty.
It was worse than the previous twenty or so experiments and failed completely.
Although the baby used in the previous experiment failed, it still responded to the outside world.
So he was sent back to his parents.
——These babies were all bought from the laboratory.
The researcher considered this unresponsive baby girl a disgrace, and he decided to make her into a specimen to serve as a spur and reminder to himself.
But one of the staff members, Liu Ke, felt compassion.
Because when she was feeding the baby girl, she once held her finger.
So she secretly took the baby girl home and told the researcher that the baby girl was accidentally eaten by the experimental species.
The researcher was furious, but there was nothing he could do.
It just so happened that Liu Ke had long been unable to bear the work in the laboratory, so she took the opportunity to resign.
She has a husband and a son, and her family doesn't know what specific work she does.
Although I doubted her resignation, I also understood it.
At the same time, she was very happy about the baby girl she brought back.
Liu Ke explained that the child was abandoned and he happened to meet him on the road. He felt so pitiful that he brought the child home.
The husband was overjoyed to have a daughter for free.
Even though he learned from his wife that the baby girl was most likely a fool, he didn't mind.
The son felt a little jealous, but thinking about his sweet and soft sister, it seemed quite interesting.
…
Ji Congwu watched with little interest.
He really couldn't figure out what this Lord God wanted to do.
I dragged him here in the middle of the night, first told him that this was a world created by a novel, and then played him a boring little movie.
But for some reason, Ji never chose to hold back.
But the impatience between his eyebrows was already very obvious.
…
The baby girl lived in Liu Ke's home.
She doesn't cry, laugh, make any sound, and rarely even moves.
Putting her in one place would ignore her existence.
But Liu Ke always felt that the little guy could sense them.
Sometimes when she turned around, she would find her dark eyes looking at them.
Even if there is no light in those eyes.
That's how she felt.
So Liu Ke began to focus a lot of energy on the baby girl, and then found that she responded to the sound of "five".
She named the baby girl: Xiaowu.
Because of Xiaowu's strangeness, and in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Liu Ke discussed with her husband and decided to move the family to another city.
Seven years passed like this, ordinary days.
Xiaowu still wouldn't communicate with them. She looked dull and stupid, as if she was not in the same world as them.
At first, Liu Ke thought - maybe as long as she was patient enough, she could at least teach Xiaowu to be more normal.
Later I found it useless and finally gave up.
Unable to communicate and teach her knowledge, Liu Ke had no choice but to try to teach her some housework.
I didn't expect her to understand, but I didn't expect her to do it so well.
She knew Xiaowu was copying her movements, but she was still somewhat relieved.
Gradually, Xiaowu became more like a silent, moving robot at home.
The family got used to ignoring her.
Anyway, she would give it to her at mealtime, and she would eat it in silence;
If she goes out, lock her at home. She will be the same as she was before she left and when she comes back.
Once when I was going on a long trip, I originally didn’t plan to bring Xiaowu with me, but considering that I would not be back for a few days, I ended up bringing Xiaowu with me.
Unfortunately, they encountered robbery during their journey.
The group belonged to a specialized robbery organization, and each of them was ruthless and cruel.
Even though the money has been offered to them, they still want to kill them all and torture them before killing them.
…
In the video, the man tried desperately to resist but was kicked to the ground; the woman was grabbed by the hair and her clothes were shaking;
The ten-year-old boy was grabbed by the neck by a tall and strong man and held in the air, kicking desperately.
Ji Congwu's eyes finally showed a hint of interest. His gaze did not linger on the miserable plight of that family, but fell on Xiaowu.
The holographic image was as immersive as if he were actually there, and at first glance it looked like Xiaowu was standing right next to him.
A short man twirling a knife in his hand said, "This yellow-haired girl is a little weird," and he approached Xiaowu step by step while spat and baring his yellow teeth.
Ji Congwu lowered his head slightly.
Xiaowu has a pair of beautiful big eyes. Her pupils are so black that they are almost deep, and no light can be reflected into them - commonly known as highlights - so they appear as cold as a machine.
Those who are a little timid will feel scared if they stare for too long.
The family that raised her since she was a child suffered a disaster, but she just watched with a blank expression, without any emotion.
Of course, for a fool whose intracranial area was damaged by a failed operation, such a reaction is normal.
Ji Congwu raised the corners of his eyes slightly: from this angle, he could clearly see that Xiaowu's pupils, which were like machines, contracted very quickly when he heard Liu Ke's scream.
Then, when the short man went to pick up Xiaowu, the dull and dazed Xiaowu suddenly moved.
What followed was an astonishing counterattack.
Xiaowu turns into a killing machine——
She snatched the more than ten-centimeter-long knife from the short man's hand, grabbed his wrist, and when he was pulled down by surprise, a cold light flashed, and the blade swept across his throat.
The little man didn't understand what was happening at this time. He mumbled unconsciously and covered his throat with his hands in vain.
…
In the end, Xiaowu's thin body stood in a pool of blood on the ground. Although he was covered with scars, not a single bandit was left.
She blinked her long eyelashes stained with blood and looked at Liu Ke and the other two who had gathered together.
They weren't seriously injured - Xiaowu stopped them in time.
Xiaowu walked towards them.
They all stepped back in horror, looking at her as if she were a monster.
Xiaowu stopped and seemed puzzled.
…
Ji Congwu raised the corner of his mouth in a sarcastic tone and sneered softly.
He probably guessed what would happen next.
A stupid little girl who refused to communicate with the outside world and had a damaged brain suddenly picked up a knife and killed nearly ten adult men with terrifying speed and terrible methods.
It's like a harmless pet at home that suddenly starts walking upright like a human and kills people with a knife...
If this isn’t a monster, what is?
How could I not be afraid?
They would constantly wonder if she would suddenly pick up a knife and kill them.
She saved them.
But they were completely lost.
…
Sure enough, as Ji had never expected, Xiaowu was abandoned.
"Don't blame me, Xiaowu. Since you are so powerful, you can survive alone."
Liu Ke looked at Xiao Wu's emotionless, cold black eyes and trembled all over.
She suddenly felt that Xiaowu's brain might not have been damaged from the beginning.
The experiment was successful: she simply realized the danger and took the initiative to protect herself, which is why she is what she is now.
Liu Ke left cruelly, muttering that he had done the right thing.
She didn't want to never wake up again.
She also didn't want to wake up to face the dead bodies of her husband and son, and then see Xiaowu smiling at her covered in blood.
The son was crying and shouting, "Don't abandon your sister."
He found out that his mother was about to abandon his sister, so he followed her and was discovered.
Liu Ke held her son tightly in her arms.
Silly son, we were all wrong. That's not your sister, that's a monster.
…
The image slowly disappeared here, leaving only a tiny Xiaowu.
Her dark eyes were fixed on the direction where Liu Ke disappeared, without moving for a long time.
The Lord God looked at Ji Congwu, and a rhythmic voice slowly rang out: "I have a task here. You can choose to accept it or not."
Ji Congwu asked back: "Why did you choose me?"
The Lord God said in a gentle voice: "You can regard this as a reward from me."
Mission = Reward.
Ji Congwu lowered his eyelids to hide the darkening color in his eyes. He asked, "What mission?"
The Lord God pointed at Xiao Wu and said, "I will send you to that world. Find her, take good care of her, and gain her favor."
Ji Congwu: "No time limit?"
Lord God: "You can leave when your favorability reaches the maximum value. Don't worry. No matter how long it takes, in this world, it is just a dream for you to sleep for one night."
Ji Congwu: "What if I don't accept it?"
The Lord God: "It's not too late to listen to the rewards first and then choose."
Ji Congwu: "I'd like to hear the details."
The data stream lingering on the Lord God's fingertips caressed Xiao Wu and said slowly, "She is the lady in your heart, the original incarnation."
“…”
A layer of dark red suddenly appeared on the edges of Ji Congwu's pupils.
He guessed that the mission should be related to Xiaowu, but he didn't expect that Xiaowu and Sang Luo could be equated.
"A Luo is by my side now." In just a moment, Ji Congwu's strange feeling disappeared, and he could distinguish between reality and illusion.
What is played in the image is the past.
Upon hearing this, the Lord God did not say much, and He left two doors open.
One door is for going back, and the other is for going on a mission.
There is also a saying: "Dreams can reflect reality."
…
As soon as the Lord God left, Ji Congwu's expression darkened.
He pondered the words of the Lord God.
Following this task is the direction of the reward:
Find Xiaowu and take care of her to gain her favorability. When it is full, come back and Sang Luo will wake up. Obviously, her favorability towards him will also increase.
The man's eyebrows moved slightly.
Over the past year or so, his progress has been very slow.
If you want her to really take you to heart... this method is really good.
Thinking of this, a light seemed to flash in Ji Congwu's eyes.
After a moment, the man straightened his clothes and walked gracefully into the "mission gate".
…
When Ji Zongwu opened his eyes again, before he could figure out the environment that came into his field of vision, he was first hit by a burst of dense punches.
A group of people surrounded him and beat and kicked him.
Ji Congwu: "..."
Anger spread from his chest, but he soon realized something was wrong.
——His body shrank!
About ten years old.
Not only did it shrink, but it also became weak, and it couldn't muster any strength in its body.
“…………”
In a hurry, he had to hold his head and curl up to protect his vital organs.
At this moment, one of the teenagers who were beating people shouted loudly: "Run away, run away, the evil spirit is coming!"
The next second, the "raindrops" on Ji Congwu disappeared, and a group of people ran forward with their legs swinging.
The posture was as if there was a ghost chasing him from behind, and he was afraid of being caught up. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared.
Ji Congwu: "..."
He took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and sat up on the ground with an expressionless face - he couldn't stand up for a while.
Covered by the shadow in front of him, Ji Congwu raised his eyes gloomily and met a pair of eyes as dark as ink.
Xiaowu.
Or rather, Sang Luo, who was standing one meter away, looking down at him condescendingly.
This posture looks very familiar.
——He didn’t know how many times Sang Luo had looked at him like this.
Unlike in the video, she was a little older now, about ten years old.
He no longer looked dull and sluggish, and looked no different from a normal person.
She was holding a large bag in her left hand, dragging it on the ground. It was bulging with things.
As she walked, the friction against the ground made a slight prickly sound.
Ji Congwu looked at the little girl, his emotions fluctuating and complicated.
Just as he was about to speak, Sang Luo spoke.
She looked him up and down, a look of disgust on her face, then she raised her pointed little chin, and that arrogant look was also very familiar.
"Have you seen enough? If you have, kowtow to your Fifth Grandma and make amends."
Ji Congwu: “……?”
"You're so brave to fight on my territory! Believe it or not, I'll chop you off!"
Ji Congwu: “…………”
Confirmed, 100% Sang Luo, honest and trustworthy.
