Chapter 16 Chapter 16 The Second Wish
Li Shanyue wanted to stand up and scream, but she had no strength at all.
Chen Mu held up the rabbit doll with both hands, looked at it carefully, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Li Shanyue was horrified. Why would Gong Yuan do this? What did he know? He opened his mouth, but no sound came out. Li Shanyue felt as if there was a thick layer of glass between him and Gong Yuan. He could only watch helplessly as all this happened.
Chen Mu examined it for a moment, then placed the rabbit doll on the table. Li Shanyue then noticed the intricate patterns carved beneath it. The blood-red lines exuded an ominous aura. The entire room darkened, only a hazy red light enveloped everything.
What is this thing? Li Shanyue's scalp tingled. What he saw was completely beyond his understanding of this world.
"This world is so convenient! Even formation materials can be purchased online." Chen Mu muttered to himself. Then he walked towards Li Shanyue and said to him, "Come, let's talk."
Li Shanyue shuddered suddenly, realizing he could move again. He immediately stood up and looked to the side. Jinglin was lying unconscious on the ground. He called System 05 in his mind, but received no response.
"Stop yelling." Chen Mu pointed at the formation expressionlessly, "It's also in a dormant state now."
Li Shanyue asked nervously, "Who are you? What are you going to do?"
Chen Mu sighed, "It actually chose someone like you."
Li Shanyue thought of his previous strange behavior. It turned out that the other party had known about the existence of Wish System 05 for a long time.
"I can't control it for long. It will wake up soon." Chen Mu said, "Let's talk about it. Your wish is to make Jinglin fall in love with you, right?"
"Who are you?" Li Shanyue slowly walked towards the rabbit doll. Compared to the weird Gong Yuan, he certainly trusted System 05 more.
Chen Mu watched him move with a half-smile: "Your wish is about to come true, which means it will leave soon."
Li Shanyue's expression changed slightly.
Chen Mu: "It seems that you, like me, don't want it to leave this world."
Li Shanyue gritted her teeth and said, "Who are you?"
Chen Mu sighed softly. He sat down and stared at the sleeping System 05. The tenderness and nostalgia in his eyes surprised Li Shanyue. "I was his previous host."
Li Shanyue was a little shocked and confused for a moment. System 05 must have more than one host, but it was too bizarre that the previous host came to him.
"I come from another world." Chen Mu kneaded his knuckles, his expression unchanged, yet he exuded a strong sense of oppression. He stared at Li Shanyue, his dark eyes motionless. "I don't want it to abandon me, but I can't keep it... and neither can you."
Li Shanyue's heart was gripped tightly. He knew he had to remain calm to take the initiative in the conversation. At the very least, he couldn't let Chen Mu lead him by the nose. He took a deep breath to suppress his emotions and asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
"Leave it in this world."
Li Shanyue frowned deeply. He was indeed tempted by this proposal, but he also knew that it was tantamount to betraying System 05.
"...What should we do?" Li Shanyue asked in a low voice.
Chen Mu smiled and said, "I will make your wish impossible to come true."
Li Shanyue glanced at Jinglin: "I'm already very cold to him. This is not something I can decide."
Chen Mu hummed, covered his mouth, and said thoughtfully: "Jinglin has mysophobia. If you were with Gong Yuan, he would probably suppress his feelings."
"With you?" Li Shanyue immediately took a step back.
"I'm not Gong Yuan."
"But I still feel sick." Li Shanyue said insincerely, "I'm sorry."
"Fortunately, you didn't agree. I also feel disgusted." Chen Mu continued, "Or I can try to prepare some pills that can make Jinglin lose his memory. As long as he forgets you, he will naturally have no feelings for you."
“Are there any side effects?”
"The extent of my amnesia is beyond my control."
"Forget it." Li Shanyue didn't want to hurt Jinglin.
Chen Mu remained noncommittal about his mentality: "Or you can stab him."
Li Shanyue: “…”
Chen Mu rubbed his fingers: "Or, I will kill you."
Li Shanyue discovered that he was actually serious.
"Perhaps after the host dies, it will be forced to stay in this world." However, this is just Chen Mu's guess. But based on his understanding of System 05, it is more likely to leave this world immediately.
...Wait a little longer, there will be an answer later, he has plenty of patience.
The red light of the Soul Locking Formation gradually faded, and Chen Mu spoke faster: "No matter what method you use, you must stop Jing Lin from falling completely in love with you. If you can't do it, I will do it."
The red light dissipated and Jinglin woke up from his coma. He felt vaguely that he had had a terrible dream, but he could not remember anything.
He blinked and saw Gong Yuan and Li Shanyue sitting side by side. Gong Yuan slightly turned his body, pointing at a book and saying something, while Li Shanyue had an expression of impatience but had to listen.
Jinglin sat up and found that he was still holding the game controller. Li Shanyue heard the movement, turned around and said, "You're awake."
Gong Yuan: "You just fell asleep while playing."
That seemed to be the case. Jinglin felt his eyes sore for some reason. Li Shanyue turned around and talked to Gong Yuan again. The two of them were always like this, as if they had some common secret that others had no way of knowing.
[I thought you'd be happier after the dinner.] System 05 said.
A week has passed since Li Shanyue returned from Gong Yuan's house. As before, he spends most of his time studying, and even has fewer conversations with System 05.
Li Shanyue clenched her pen guiltily: [I'm quite happy.]
His phone lit up, revealing a message from Gong Yuan. Li Shanyue glanced at it and placed the phone upside down on the table.
Li Shanyue and Gong Yuan have more frequent contacts.
Gong Yuan's favorability towards Li Shanyue has always been -99 and has never changed, but Li Shanyue's favorability towards Gong Yuan has dropped to -70.
After having dinner with Gong Yuan, his favorability actually decreased, but at the same time, their contacts continued to increase.
There was something wrong with that dinner.
System 05 would sometimes go dormant for a while in unimportant situations, cleaning up junk data, organizing memory space, etc. But at a gathering of three people, System 05 would never relax. It kept a constant eye on the favorability and was ready to add fuel to the fire at the right moment. However, in that room, it suddenly went dormant.
After waking up, it discovered the abnormality in the affection between Gong Yuan and Li Shanyue.
System 05 was certain that all this was Gong Yuan's doing. Considering what had happened before, it was obvious that Gong Yuan was preventing it from completing its mission.
But the question is, why did Gong Yuan do this, what did he want, and why did Li Shanyue conspire with him.
Putting aside the unexpected incident with Gong Yuan, Li Shanyue actually still likes Jing Lin very much. After getting to know the real Jing Lin, his favorability has remained stable. Isn't it best for them to realize their wish just like that?
System 05 looked down at Li Shanyue. He seemed even more guilty because of the message sent by Gong Yuan.
It seems that the problem still lies with Gong Yuan.
Gong Yuan, Gong Yuan, Gong Yuan.
After Li Shanyue fell asleep, System 05 left the rabbit doll and flew towards Gong Yuan's house.
At this time, the lights in Gong Yuan's house were still on, but System 05 subconsciously felt that he was not the type to go to bed and get up early. System 05 followed the wind into the room and was surprised to find quite a few people inside.
Gong Yuan lay in bed, the air filled with a strange smell. The doctor in a white coat held a syringe and said, "It will hurt a little, but it will be better soon. This is all for your health."
Gong Yuan remained silent, staring blankly at the snow-white ceiling. At such moments, his dark pupils seemed especially cold. The doctor lowered his head, concentrating on the injection. He pushed a full vial of liquid medicine into the patient, draining the last trace of color from his already pale complexion. The doctor raised his head, about to offer his customary words of comfort, when he noticed Gong Yuan suddenly smile.
Most people would find it hard to endure this kind of pain, but he could still laugh.
"Have you thought of anything good?" the doctor couldn't help asking.
Gong Yuan raised the corner of his mouth, his eyes sparkling under the light: "Yes."
If System 05 wasn't sure that ordinary people couldn't see it, it would definitely think he was smiling at it.
System 05 floated in the air, watching the doctors busy at work. According to Gong Yuan's character card, he survived by relying on medicine, and regular check-ups were necessary.
A glass man.
Before leaving, the doctor warned, "Although the root cause of the disease has been removed, your body is still very weak. You must rest."
What went wrong with such a glass man?
After everyone left, the room was empty again. Gong Yuan lay on the bed. System 05 was about to leave when he suddenly heard him say, "Don't go..."
System 05 paused, turned around, and flew in front of Gong Yuan.
The golden pupils and the black pupils were so close, System 05 looked down at him, and his long silver hair cascaded down like water, falling on the sickly boy. He was as pale and fragile as a piece of thin paper, as if being embraced by the moonlight.
Gong Yuan seemed to be looking at it, and also seemed to be looking through it into the unknown void.
System 05 reached out and slowly stroked Gong Yuan's cheek, his fingertips gradually moving upwards, stopping at the end of his cat-like eyes.
These eyes are very similar to another person's.
"Can you see me?" System 05 said softly.
