Seeing herself just moments before, practically "tears streaming down her face," and having uttered a series of deeply distressing words, Su Chen was finally embraced by Tao Wu...
“System, this person is not me,” Su Chen said with a frown.
[Who is that?] The system also sensed something was wrong. Logically speaking, the carefree host would not have revealed such a repressed "past".
Su Chen lowered her head and pondered for a moment, when suddenly a flash of inspiration struck her, "Do you still remember that world of 'the love story of a top student'?"
[Remember, in that world you weren't dressed as a depressed little girl who was unhappy at home and bullied at school?]
"I suspect she still exists within my consciousness!" Su Chen boldly speculated.
【How could that be? Everything was fine during the time you took her place, wasn't it? And you didn't seem sad or anything back then, did you?】
...
As the system spoke, a possibility occurred to it, and it suddenly gasped in shock…
[Could it be because you failed to complete the mission in that world... so... the main system forcibly locked the original owner's consciousness into your body?]
Su Chen's eyes flickered. "Do you think the main system has this ability?"
The system paused, its icy blue dog-like eyes suddenly clouding over, as if it had thought of something bad. It said in a low voice, "[There is...]"
[Now we can only wait until you've resolved things in this world before going back to deal with the "academic genius's love" world.] This is the only way to break the seal on the original owner's consciousness...
"Okay." Su Chen nodded. It seems... she should speed up the process of courting her own demise.

For some reason, Su Chen somehow summoned a large number of zombies, which attacked various protective camps within a radius of a hundred miles.
Only the protection camp where Wang Teng and Pan Yiyi were located remained unharmed, a fact they themselves couldn't understand.
These days, Tao Wu has been locked inside his room by Su Chen.
He could have easily smashed the door, but he didn't.
Tao Wu waited for Su Chen to return, just like before, and listened to the radio with her in his arms.
"Today, Dr. Xu's 'anti-zombie virus vaccine' has finally been successfully developed! It is now in mass production! Artificial rain is expected tomorrow..."
Su Chen, who was behind, fell asleep before she could even hear clearly...
Tao Wu, holding Su Chen in his arms, carefully laid her down on the bed and gently tucked her in.
He sighed, "Sometimes I wonder if you can foresee the future..."
He paused, "That's why they attacked the protection camp so brazenly..."
"You think I don't know you're seeking death? You think I don't know you locked me in this room to keep me alive? Ha! In your heart, do I not even have the right to die with you?"
A mournful, muffled laugh escaped Tao Wu's throat, and as he laughed, he covered his eyes, which were already brimming with tears.
“I’ve been dreaming about a woman since I was little… She’s wearing ancient costume… She doesn’t look like you at all, but…”
But every time she raised her carefree smile, it overlapped with the image of the woman in his dream who was holding his waist, twisting his ear, and laughing as she scolded him.
If people really have past lives and present lives, he thought... he must have met her in his past life too.
Tao Wu wiped his eyes and blurted out his first ever swear word: "Damn! You're such a loser!"
He rubbed his hands together, and when they finally warmed up, he carefully pulled Su Chen into his arms.
