As night fell, Lin Yang, having just taken a shower, tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.
I took my phone out from under my pillow, pressed the screen with my fingertip to turn it on, and slid the screen lock open.
I'm starting to feel conflicted again.
Or...should we explain?
With that thought in my head, my fingertips touched the screen and I opened Weibo.
The original owner used to update her Weibo every day, but ever since this 2G girl came into this body, she hasn't used Weibo, let alone posted any new content.
The black vertical lines flashed for a long time, and Lin Yang's mind was in a mess, not knowing how to sort out her words.
As she stared at the black vertical line for a long time, the blackness suddenly magnified infinitely, and the darkness invaded the surroundings, enveloping Lin Yang's vision.
This feeling... it's definitely the system pulling her into that world without warning again!
"Host 001, congratulations, you've completed half of the mission! Now, all you need to do is make public the evidence of Lu Xiangxi's affair with Xu Chengzhi, and you can move on to the next mission!" The system's cheerful voice rang out, celebrating her progress.
Lin Yang, however, could not feel happy. She was deeply troubled by the guilt she felt over Xu Chengzhi being cyberbullied.
Just when she was finally mustering the courage to clarify, this damn system was urging her to finish the other half of the task!
"Host 001, you look unhappy?" The system was in the shadows. Although Lin Yang was surrounded by endless blackness, it could see her expression and even her thoughts clearly.
"I can..." Lin Yang began, but after only two words, the system interrupted him.
"No! Not even if you want to! Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, host? Abandon the mission? Ha, has the host forgotten what the punishment is for automatically abandoning the mission or failing the mission?"
Lin Yang pursed her lower lip and answered in a muffled voice, "I haven't forgotten, I'll die at the hands of scumbags for all eternity."
"It's good that you haven't forgotten, host. You need to think this through carefully. Is it worth it for a scumbag who committed heinous crimes in your past life? You've already completed half of the mission. You're a smart person. If I were you, I wouldn't have so many concerns." The system kept talking, its words quite sharp.
"But system, why is Lu Xiangxi Chu Yu's agent? Are you sure you haven't made a mistake?" This was the third time Lin Yang had questioned the system.
"……"silence.
The system fell silent and began searching through the papers to verify the information.
The pages flipped from one end to the other, then back again, but the system remained silent.
Lin Yang yawned lazily, unsurprised by the unreliability of this troublesome system. "Are you done? Have you figured out how to explain this?"
"Wait! Let me look again!" the system said, while the sound of flipping through the pages continued.
"Stop looking. Chu Yu isn't even in your file, is he?" Lin Yang boldly offered her guess.
The system jerked its hand, and the rustling of paper stopped abruptly.
"..." The system dared not utter a sound.
Taking advantage of the silence, Lin Yang continued, "I guessed right."
It is a statement of affirmation.
From the moment Lin Yang could not find Chu Yu in the original owner's memories, something was wrong with her.
The original male lead in "Dynasty" was supposed to be a scumbag, but he ended up playing Chu Yu, who is practically unknown, and he even has Lu Xiangxi by his side.
So, who exactly is Chu Yu?
"Guess...guess what right you guessed!" The system stammered, but still tried to remain calm. "Chu Yu is just a man! As for Lu Xiangxi, she's Chu Yu's manager. It's all a coincidence! Your mission is to find evidence of Xu Chengzhi's affair with Lu Xiangxi, not to argue with me. Who's the system here, you or me?"
As the conversation progressed, the system remembered that it held the power to decide whether Lin Yang should go back or stay, and suddenly became assertive.
