After a long while, Tao Wu finally raised his head.
His expression remained as calm as usual. If it weren't for the redness on his nose, Su Chen would have thought that someone else had been crying.
"Do you want to eat...human flesh?" Tao Wu asked seriously, his face expressionless.
What?! How could the villainous boss ask such a terrifying question with such a blank expression?
“I…have never eaten it, and I’ve never been hungry, so I shouldn’t need to eat human flesh. But…” Su Chen lowered her head, lost in thought.
"What?" Tao Wu frowned.
"I need the crystal core from the zombie's brain, and I think... you should need it too."
[If the big boss eats so many crystal cores that he becomes stronger than the male lead, wouldn't the plot fall apart?]
"No, tragedies are part of the plot too~" Su Chen thought about the tragic ending of the male and female protagonists and actually felt a little happy.
[Oh no, host, please no, please don't! Grandma! Dad! Grandpa! We can't afford to offend the chosen one! If you steal their plotline, you'll suffer a terrible death! Trust me!]
"The chosen one? You mean the protagonist?" Su Chen raised an eyebrow.
【Yes...yes.】 Oh no! Did the host discover something?
Su Chen didn't ask any more questions.
The system was inwardly panicked, but breathed a sigh of relief when she didn't ask any more questions.
After hearing what she said, Tao Wu immediately put on his coat and prepared to go out.
"What are you going to do?"
Tao Wu didn't even turn his head, but simply waved his hand and said, "Find the crystal core."
Su Chen smiled naturally. Really... she had always wanted to meet a man who didn't talk much but would show her through his actions that he loved her very much.
More than sweet words, she prefers someone who will warm her cold hands in their arms on a cold day, someone who will comfort her when she has period cramps, and someone down-to-earth who, without flowery words or romantic language, is simply good to her unconditionally…
It's so tiring being alone... I wish there was someone to share the burden with.
[Host...you cried?]
Did she cry? Su Chen raised her hand and touched the corner of her eye.
"Damn system, you lied to me!" She looked at her face and there were no tears at all.
I'm not lying to you, I can sense the strong emotions deep within you. I clearly felt sadness just now...
Host, this system reminds you not to get too emotionally involved in these small worlds!
I've encountered hosts who fall in love with someone in a world, refusing to do any missions, wanting only to stay with that person in that world forever, until they grow old and die... and then...
"after?"
After that, I erased her memories of that person completely, leaving not a trace.
The system flashed, its furry body landing lightly on Su Chen's lap. It looked up at her earnestly, "If you do this too... I will too..."
Before he could finish speaking, Su Chen burst out laughing.
"I know, erase my memories. Don't worry, I won't fall for it even without your reminder." A glint of light flashed in Su Chen's eyes before she fell silent.
"Hmm." For the first time, the system felt gratified because its host was carefree.
"Host... Shall we make a quick getaway now?" The system leaped to the ground, wagging its fluffy tail as it looked at her.
"Let's wait for him to come back. We need to give him an explanation." Su Chen lowered her eyes, lost in thought.
"Remember what this system said: never develop feelings for anyone! Especially the villains!" The system shook its head and its fur, then its figure flickered and returned to its spatial dimension.
