Ye Wenya knew that Gu Tailin was trying to change the subject, and she really didn't want to continue talking about the previous topic. She knew very well that continuing the previous topic would not lead to the result she wanted.
"You specifically studied this instrument to target the system? What do you want to do?" she asked coldly.
Gu Tailin spoke frankly, "I was worried that the system would harm you, so I thought of developing this instrument to create a system. This way, the system can no longer use you or harm you."
Ye Wenya really didn't expect that Gu Tailin was researching this instrument for her. She stared at the instrument in his hand in a daze, and the expression on her face gradually eased, and the coldness between her eyebrows also dissipated.
"Why do you think so?" She picked up the instrument and looked at it again and again. Could this instrument really cause great harm to the system?
At the beginning, the system said that this instrument could cause certain interference to him.
Gu Tailin touched her head, his eyes gentle. "Anyone would think so. A system that comes from nowhere, tells you all those strange things, and asks you to do so many things, must have some ulterior motive, and it might even cause you harm."
"I've told you many times not to touch me." Ye Wenya slapped his hand away and snorted.
The coldness on her face was gone, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Gu Tailin was no longer so cold.
Gu Tailin could tell she wasn't really angry and chuckled, "Okay, it's my fault. I shouldn't have touched you."
"Combined with the two previous instances of this instrument interfering with the system, it suggests it has some effect on the system, though I don't know the exact extent of that effect. Can you tell me more about the system?"
Ye Wenya returned the instrument to him and shook her head slowly. "I don't know much about the system. There are many things the system is unwilling to tell me. I don't know what its real purpose is."
"What we know for now is that someone or a system is interfering with the system, preventing him from returning to me."
Gu Tailin didn't ask any further questions. He stroked his chin and thought about it. "Have you ever thought that this whole thing is a conspiracy?"
"Why do you say that? My brother said that things are indeed not that simple. The system hides a lot of things."
"First of all, why did the system choose you instead of the male and female protagonists? Wouldn't it be easier for him to complete the task if he chose the male and female protagonists?"
Ye Wenya thought of the task the system had asked her to do in the beginning, her eyes glaring. "You mean, the system came to me to achieve some of its goals through me?"
"It's just that, after all this time, the system hasn't done anything strange, nor has it forced me to do anything."
Gu Tailin's deep pupils glowed with a faint cold light, and his voice was cold, "No, that's because you didn't notice it."
"I've specifically researched the so-called system. Such a system requires you to complete tasks or gain energy. If the system asks you to do a task and you don't complete it, it means that it has gained some energy."
Ye Wenya thought about the whole thing, but still found nothing unusual. "What kind of energy?"
Gu Tailin's brows furrowed, his tone sinking slightly. "It's hard to say. My intuition suggests it has something to do with us. Look at how much everyone around you has changed."
"Especially Fu Yu. He was acting strangely yesterday. Do you think he would do something like that to grandma?"
Ye Wenya said without hesitation, "No! Fu Yu is a bastard and a scumbag, but he would not do such a thing to grandma."
"Are you suspecting that the system's disappearance was fake, and that he's using it to hide in the dark and cause trouble, or is he using me to achieve some purpose?"
Gu Tailin nodded. "I can't rule out this possibility. Another possibility is that there really is something wrong with the system."
"Assuming there's a real problem with the system, it means there's a person or a system that's been secretly watching your every move. And when the situation gets out of control, they're taking advantage of the system."
Ye Wenya held up two fingers and expressed her opinion, "I lean towards the second one. If the system really wants to use me, wouldn't it be better for it to stay by my side forever?"
"Also, the system wants me to find the author as soon as possible. If I do find the author, it will be a huge threat to the system. Even if the author is in this world, he can still have a great impact on this world."
Gu Tailin pondered for a moment and said, "What you said makes sense."
"Come, let's sort out the existing clues from the beginning. The system said this is the world of a novel, and Fu Yu and Wen Shushu are the male and female protagonists. This is very problematic. Can a woman like Wen Shushu be the female protagonist? Would I do so many stupid things for a woman like that?"
Ye Wenya looked at him strangely, "You can't? You always find interesting people or things and find ways to deal with them... woo woo woo!"
Gu Tailin covered her mouth with his hand, his face darkening. "I really want to kiss you right there, but I don't want you to get angry. I'm warning you one last time. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll make sure you can't get out of bed."
This woman deserves to be punished for daring to say such things.
Ye Wenya rolled her eyes and pulled his hand down, “Okay, okay, I won’t say that.”
The two resumed the discussion.
In Gu Tailin's opinion, he would never do so many stupid things for a woman like Wen Shushu. The most important point is that Fu Yu and Wen Shushu alone would never be able to swallow up the Gu family.
He suspected that this was not a world of fiction, nor a so-called independent world, but a real world that had become what it is today for some reason.
For its own ulterior motives, the system, unable to use Fu Yu and Wen Shushu, chose to use Ye Wenya to achieve its own goals. But something went wrong, or perhaps he had already been targeted by someone or a system, leading to the current situation.
"Why can't the system use Fu Yu and Wen Shushu?" Ye Wenya's mind flashed with inspiration, and she clapped her hands lightly, "Are they the male and female protagonists of this world?"
Gu Tailin walked around the ward calmly. "That's one possibility, but we can't rule out other possibilities. For example, the system couldn't achieve its goal by using these two people, but it can achieve it by using you."
The more Ye Wenya thought about it, the more confused she became. In the end, she simply gave up. "Forget it, the system disappeared inexplicably. There's no point in thinking too much. I'd better give my brain a rest."
She walked to the balcony, opened her arms to bask in the sunshine, and closed her eyes to relax her tense nerves.
The golden sunlight fell on her, gilding her with a golden glow. Her long, thick eyelashes cast a layer of gray-green on her eyelids, and a comfortable smile played at the corners of her lips. She looked beautiful and peaceful, like an elf resting in the sun.
This scene fascinated Gu Tailin. He gazed at Ye Wenya with tender eyes, unwilling to disturb this beauty.
