Chapter 49 Pretending I've Been Reborn Too A True Reborn Person: Heaven's Justice is Unfair...
With the fall of the evil god, humanity regained its complete freedom.
After regaining consciousness, many people immediately got up and tried to find out what was happening in fear.
This fear didn't last long, however, as they soon heard the radio outside and the television inside their house broadcasting news that the evil god had been completely killed by Si Qi.
The media emphasized that it was a "complete" kill.
People were stunned and at a loss, their hearts filled with bewilderment at the sudden arrival of such a huge surprise.
They were eager to know more, and China, being at the center of the world's attention, was no exception.
Si Qi smiled at the officials who rushed over to confirm the situation and said, "Don't worry, it's all been resolved."
Even now, the official's heart is pounding, and his face is flushed with excitement: "You, you are truly amazing! How did you do that?!"
They already found it unbelievable that Si Qi could kill a part of the evil god's body with human power, but who knew that Si Qi also possessed the means to completely kill the evil god? This was simply unbelievable!
Si Qi had already prepared an excuse: "As long as you have enough power, you can annihilate anything, whether it's a stone or a god."
He casually pointed to the rubble in the distance, and a fireball flew out, striking the rocks and engulfing them in scorching flames.
Everyone was dumbfounded: "This, isn't this a mage's skill?!"
Si Qi: "Is it because I changed jobs after being reborn? I have become more proficient in mastering the power of different systems and have discovered that they are all essentially a form of energy, and there is no need to be limited to the professional system."
Everyone seemed to understand, but their faces were full of admiration. Clearly, whatever Si Qi said at this moment, they would only think that Si Qi was awesome, rather than delving into the reasons behind it.
"So you actually possessed this ability long ago, and you joined forces with Commander Chu to set up this scheme—or rather, this scheme?"
Although the incident startled everyone at the time, judging from Si Qi's complete control from beginning to end, it was clear that he had been prepared all along, just waiting for the evil god to fall into the trap.
"You and Commander Chu are truly farsighted... But how much courage must it have taken to make the decision to let an evil god take over your body?"
Si Qi looked at Chu Feng beside him and smiled, "When we obtained the artifact of sharing life and death, we guessed that the evil god would probably make his move through one of us, so we made preparations in advance."
The evil god of this world has devoured countless types of life from various planets, and possesses a very distinct personality. Its violent and highly targeted style of action means it will most likely not miss this opportunity to kill Si Qi.
It's highly likely that it wanted Si Qi to personally experience despair and betrayal, and it certainly didn't expect to die like this at first. Therefore, Si Qi and Chu Feng set up a barrier within their bodies long ago to protect their safety and also to restrain the careless evil god.
When confronting the evil god, Si Qi unusually kept taunting and attacking, actually prolonging the time for the formation to take effect and coordinate with the world consciousness from the inside and outside.
Otherwise, who would mock insects before killing them? There's no need for that.
After hearing the explanation, everyone suddenly understood. While marveling at Si Qi's strong mental fortitude, they couldn't help but feel heartache and their eyes reddened: "You're using yourself as bait..."
No one dares to imagine the consequences of letting an evil god enter their body; there's absolutely no guarantee they'll survive after it's all over.
Even Si Qi couldn't be 100% sure he wouldn't get into trouble, after all, he was just a mortal human being!
They must have made this decision after careful consideration, believing that the fate of humanity is greater than their own.
Moved by the scene they had imagined, everyone said with tears in their eyes, "You two are heroes to all of humanity!"
Si Qi smiled without saying a word, which was indeed what Chu Feng thought. At this moment, Chu Feng simply hummed in agreement, not taking credit for it.
In his view, he simply trusted Si Qi and unconditionally supported all of Si Qi's decisions; it was far from being a "sacrifice."
He was willing to do anything for Si Qi, even die for him.
His only request was that Si Qi not be in danger because of this.
Surrounded by everyone, the two left the central conference hall. It is conceivable that this place will soon lose its original function and become a museum or exhibition hall, which will be visited by people from all over the world for thousands of years to come and continue to exist in human civilization.
The outside world quickly erupted into a global celebration following the good news brought by Si Qi.
Various media outlets, speaking in different languages, excitedly reported on this event that is worthy of being recorded in human history. They unanimously designated this day as a day of celebration, putting aside their work and studies to come to the streets and enjoy this wonderful day with their compatriots.
Si Qi and Chu Feng had been busy for a long time and finally got to rest. After returning home, Si Qi lay on the bed with his arms outstretched and let out a long sigh of relief.
Si Qi had been exhausted during this time. Chu Feng walked over, gently stroked the stray hairs on Si Qi's forehead with his fingertips, and placed a kiss on his brow: "You've worked hard."
Si Qi rolled over and hugged him, burying himself in Chu Feng's arms, tracing circles on his chest with his fingers: "You know I've had a hard time, so how are you going to reward me?"
Chu Feng's expression was gentle: "Shall I cook you a big meal?"
Si Qi: "..."
A big meal is also good, Si Qi said, "Remember to bring two more bowls of pudding."
Chu Feng readily agreed: "No problem."
"You also want to go on a date with me; you can decide what to do."
"Okay." Chu Feng also wanted to have a date with Si Qi like a normal couple.
Previously, every time they met, they were either on the battlefield carrying weapons or conducting joint drills in different locations. Chu Feng didn't want Si Qi to get the impression that he was tied to combat; he wanted Si Qi to see the shining points in his daily life and like him even more.
Si Qi looked at Chu Feng with a grin and said happily, "And then... you'll marry me."
Chu Feng's eyes widened, and he subconsciously tightened his arms, leaning forward to hug Si Qi tightly.
After a long pause, he said seriously, "Okay."
"After the wedding comes the honeymoon," Si Qi said, lying on top of Chu Feng, his legs swinging back and forth in the air, "and we'll spend several more years on it."
Chu Feng was overjoyed and had no reason to refuse.
He was not good with words but good with actions. He couldn't help but turn over and press Si Qi down on the bed, then lowered his head and kissed him tenderly, wishing he could meld Si Qi into his own flesh and blood.
...
The death of the evil god has far more impact than simply the loss of the Grim Reaper's scythe that hangs above humanity's heads.
Many professionals have discovered that the systems within their bodies have quietly disappeared, and many skills that could previously be used by consuming mana bars can no longer be activated.
Only a small number of heroes who originally possessed the instantaneous casting technique and absorbed the skill into their own abilities were able to continue using their extraordinary powers. Most heroes reverted to being ordinary people, only with improved physical abilities and the ability to still sense the presence of magic.
As for the means of leveling up and improving strength by killing monsters and solving dungeons, they have completely disappeared. When many people look back on the past, they even feel a little regretful that the evil god died so young.
Since Si Qi had said that Blue Star had become a world where magic and technology coexisted, no one was particularly panicked. The disappearance of the system simply meant that humanity had lost the means to use the world's consciousness to help them gain advantages, not that humanity was unable to awaken professions again.
Although many professionals have suffered a significant drop in strength as a result—mages who could once summon thunderclouds with a wave of their hand can now barely condense a ball of water in their palms—their future is undoubtedly bright. They know their own capabilities, and as long as they keep moving forward, humanity will eventually reach the heights it once was.
As a result, departments specifically established for professionals emerged, and the placement of professionals began to become more systematic and standardized. Many schools even went so far as to offer courses targeting the three professional systems, providing comprehensive training from a young age.
It is foreseeable that human civilization will therefore take a completely different, but much broader, future.
Si Qi was elected by everyone as the president of the Professionals Association.
This is not only because of the contributions Si Qi made during this period, but also because before the system disappeared, Si Qi had already achieved instant casting of all skills in both the Warrior and Priest systems, and had also mastered the abilities of the Mage system.
It is speculated that even if the system disappears, Si Qi's strength may still remain at the level it was at before the evil god's death.
For modern humans, this is absolutely overwhelming.
It was hard for people to imagine who could take the position if Si Qi didn't become the president. So the president's position was easily secured, but the various positions in the subordinate branches were fiercely contested by people from different countries.
Everyone wants a piece of the pie and to seize the most precious resources at this crucial moment as the new era begins.
China maintained its composure as a major power, demonstrating remarkable ease and composure at this juncture.
It's not just because Si Qi's act of saving the world allows China to rightfully enjoy the highest level of treatment.
Because of Si Qi's ability to destroy cities with a wave of his hand and revive the dead with a snap of his fingers, many people who fear Si Qi's power and hope to be saved by him in the future will not easily offend Si Qi or the Huaguo (China) behind him.
The world has shown great respect for China and is grateful for China's selfless assistance to various countries during this period.
China has become the focus of world attention, and it is undoubtedly number one in both prestige and strength.
Once the process of dividing the pie was complete, a global professional association was established. Professionals actively participated, and ordinary people who were not yet awakened could not become members of Siqi's organization, but they could actively respond in the real world and online.
Si Qi's influence among the people now far exceeds the level he held in Yin Chou's memories of his previous life.
This paranoid reborn individual could not accept any of this until his death.
Since being sent to prison, his life has taken a sharp turn for the worse. Even if his life wasn't very good in his previous life due to his background and personality, at least he was free and safe.
Now, because he framed Si Qi, he has broken the law and gone to prison. He has to undergo labor reform every day, and his every move is under strict surveillance.
To make matters worse, because his level is higher than most heroes, he is almost always forced into dungeons by the system, and then repeatedly disliked and ostracized by his dungeon teammates.
He nearly died there several times.
Or rather, sometimes he really wished he could die there.
This way, you won't have to face endless dungeon monsters and wake up every day to a hopeless life despised by everyone.
But when the evil god was finally destroyed and humanity regained its freedom, he suddenly realized that his previous life had been good enough, and that he was about to fall into hell.
Having lost any chance of rebirth, he was scheduled for lethal injection. His father, whose crime was less serious than his, had already passed away before him, and to this day, no one has come to claim his ashes.
The moment he was put on the injection table and strapped in, his face turned deathly pale, his body convulsed and trembled uncontrollably, and tears streamed down his face.
Seeing how nervous he was, the doctor who gave the injection kindly comforted him, "Don't be nervous, relax, it will be over soon."
His tears started flowing even more fiercely.
"No, no, I won't die, evil god, the evil god will bring me back to life!"
He kept muttering in despair.
Upon hearing this, the doctor couldn't help but remind him, "The evil god died even before you."
"Ugh..." Yin Chou whimpered, struggling and crying, "No, no..."
"I will be resurrected, I will be resurrected, evil god, evil god... Doesn't Si Qi know the resurrection technique? Let him come and save me! I don't want to die, I don't want to die!"
He started rambling incoherently, his mind clearly in a state of confusion. In his hazy consciousness, he even longed for the days when, even when facing dungeons, at least he could survive.
The medicine was steadily administered into the tube, accompanied by his cries. He quickly stopped making noise, his eyes gradually lost their light, and his physiological reactions disappeared one by one.
The media are constantly paying attention to all news related to Si Qi, including Yin Chou, who has had connections with Si Qi.
The news of Yin Chou's death quickly spread, and everyone reacted in unison: "This man only died now!"
Since the dungeons fully descended upon Blue Star, the live stream was shut down, and everyone lost their usual opportunity to go and curse Yin Chou, gradually forgetting about him.
After Si Qi decisively killed the evil god, everyone was overjoyed and no one dared to mention anything unlucky at that moment.
It wasn't until news of Yin Chou's death spread that people were quite happy to see such news, and his name reappeared in the public eye.
Whenever Yin Chou is mentioned, his father and the Yin family he controlled inevitably come to mind. The once prosperous Yin family quickly declined after the two men were sentenced to death. Unless they were desperate, the remaining members of the Yin family dared not use the Yin family name in public and all acted very discreetly, for fear of being targeted.
As for Yin Chou's several children born out of wedlock and his ex-wife, because they had already fallen out with Yin's father in public, everyone had a good impression of them, and even though they were Yin's father's blood relatives, they were not implicated.
Yin Chou thus generated a brief period of heated discussion online thanks to his death, only to be quickly forgotten by forgetful netizens. Everyone returned to the same old, seemingly endless topics: Si Qi's recent wedding, just how powerful Si Qi really was, and what would happen if Si Qi were reborn as a mage.
Of course, some people have diverged their thinking and imagined what would have happened to humanity if Si Qi hadn't been reborn, but in the end, they always end with "How could that be? That's Si Qi."
They always had unwavering confidence in the savior of mankind.
...
…
Because they saved the world, the world's consciousness took extra care of Si Qi and Chu Feng, extending their lives as much as possible.
With Si Qi's mastery of various elemental powers and his ability to continuously unleash the Resurrection Technique, theoretically, Si Qi could achieve eternal youth and immortality.
The doctors regularly give Si Qi and Chu Feng physical examinations, and the results are always the same.
Chu Feng didn't react at first, she was simply happy for Si Qi.
But as the two grew older, Chu Feng's appearance gradually matured from her initial youthful innocence, while Si Qi remained as young as ever.
He began to frequently review his medical examination reports, and when he washed his face in front of the mirror in the morning, an indescribable gloom hung over his eyes.
Si Qi hugged him from behind, his voice still hoarse from just waking up: "What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"
Chu Feng: "It's nothing..."
Si Qi nuzzled his head against Chu Feng's neck, saying, "Don't try to fool me."
Chu Feng sighed helplessly and remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "I'm getting old."
But Si Qi is still young, and may even be immortal.
What he once thought was a wonderful idea of "living and dying together" has now become an inescapable curse in his heart.
Should we... just get rid of this thing?
Si Qi looked up at Chu Feng's eyes, which held a hint of sadness, in the mirror, and said with a smile, "You're thinking about that? But even when you're old, you'll still be the most handsome old man in the world!"
Chu Feng: "...Don't interrupt, you know that's not what I meant."
Si Qi maintained the same expression, but his eyes became serious: "You don't want to abandon me and die first, do you? Let me tell you, don't even think about it. I'll haunt you even as a ghost."
These words sounded funny, but Chu Feng couldn't help but feel heartbroken upon hearing them. She turned around and hugged Si Qi, saying, "It's my fault for dragging you down."
“It’s not a burden,” Si Qi cupped Chu Feng’s face and kissed him on the lips. “In this world, there is death and rebirth, so there must also be reincarnation. What if you go first and are reborn with someone else? Wouldn’t I be furious? I would definitely cling to you and not let you go for a second.”
Chu Feng chuckled at Si Qi's words: "I wouldn't go looking for anyone else."
"Aren't you afraid that after you leave, I'll be with someone else?" Si Qi provocatively asked.
Chu Feng thought for a moment, his voice choked in his throat, hoarse and choked: "If you like—"
"Ugh, you're so annoying!" This kind of thing is impossible to resolve, so I might as well deepen the brief kiss and shut Chu Feng's noisy mouth.
"Um...you..."
"Life goes by so fast, it's such a waste not to cherish it. What's the point of saying all that nonsense?" Si Qi shouted. "Compared to all that, we haven't even tried the sink yet. Shall we give it a try?"
Chu Feng hesitated, "It's still morning..."
Si Qi: "Shall we give it a try?"
Chu Feng: "...Try."
He has a lifetime to slowly explore the answers he can't find now.
Cherish the present.
...
...
Decades later, bidding a reluctant farewell to his most cherished lover, Si Qi's consciousness was transferred into a new body. Standing in front of a glass door bearing a police insignia, he stepped out.
He wasn't quite sure why he had come out of the police station at this moment. He lowered his eyes to read the memories that Xiu Xiu had transmitted to him, and soon found that he had come to a world that had evolved from a novel.
And unfortunately, the original novel in this world is a very dark and brutal story with a protagonist-torture theme, and the body he is currently using is the unfortunate protagonist of that novel.
The main plot of the story is that the spiritual energy in the modern world has been restored, and extraordinary individuals with all kinds of special abilities have appeared one after another.
The protagonist, who awakens extraordinary abilities, rises to power, suffering constant torment along the way. After experiencing eighty-one kinds of tribulations, he is besieged and killed by countless people when he is most desperate and helpless. After his death, he becomes a monstrous place, killing all living beings nearby and perishing together with the entire world.
Because the content was so convoluted and difficult, like a collection of ancient tortures, Si Qi skimmed through it almost at a glance, and even after finishing it, he still felt that his mind had been severely polluted.
What kind of person would harbor such deep resentment towards their protagonist, wishing they could inflict all the malice in the world upon him? They would force a boy who started out as gentle as a white moonlight to transform into a disfigured and twisted monster, driven to despair so much that he could only seek release through suicide, and whose only obsession after death would drag the whole world down with him.
With a soft sigh, Si Qi reflected on his current situation in light of the original story, realizing that he was at the beginning of the story, at the point when the original owner was about to awaken his superpowers after the spiritual energy had been restored.
The reason he was at the police station was because on his way to meet up with his friends, he heard a girl crying for help coming from an alley.
The original owner of this body, driven by a strong sense of justice, rushed into the alley to try to stop the illegal activity, only to witness a very strange scene.
The girl, tears streaming down her face, kept pleading and her body was softly pressed against another man. She took off her clothes and made ambiguous, even somewhat lewd, gestures.
The man's face was lewd, his eyes were full of malice, and his expression clearly suggested he was forcing someone.
As soon as the girl saw the original owner arrive, she kept shouting for help, saying that her body was out of control and begging him to save her.
The original owner's mind was in chaos, and he didn't know what was going on. But the girl's pitiful cries were so heartbreaking that he had no choice but to go forward to help her. He was immediately knocked to the ground by an invisible force, and heard the man's contemptuous and disdainful laughter in his ears.
An unseen fist pounded relentlessly against the original owner, who was powerless to retaliate. His body writhed in pain, and in his hazy consciousness, an inexplicable power was activated by spiritual energy, unearthing the latent abilities within him.
As a result, the original owner awakened his own special ability—an extraordinary ability that perfectly matched his personality: he was gentle and disliked fighting since childhood, and even when he was beaten, he would only think about stopping and preventing the other party from doing evil.
--plunder.
The ability to take away the opponent's power and completely silence them as long as you make direct contact with their ability.
It may sound brutal, but in reality, it does not cause any physical harm to the perpetrator and has zero proactive aggression.
Because he never intended to hurt anyone, the protagonist in the story only realized he had this ability much, much later.
As the original owner's abilities awakened, he took away the man's powers in the alley, and the invisible fist and the power to control the girl to undress disappeared. The girl cried and picked up her clothes and ran away quickly. The man roared and chased after her, trying to stop her. The original owner fell to the ground, dazed, and only had time to get up and call the police.
Si Qi arrived at the time when the original owner had called the police and was preparing to leave the police station.
The phone rang in his pocket. Si Qi picked it up, ignoring the bruise on his ear that had been bleeding, and answered the call.
"Where the hell have you been?! When are you coming back?!"
A barrage of harsh curses came from the other end of the phone, accusing Si Qi of daring to stand them up.
"I saw someone being bullied, so I called the police, and they're at the police station now..."
Si Qi subconsciously offered an explanation.
The voice on the other end paused, then erupted into an even more furious barrage of questions: "What business is it of yours if someone gets bullied? Do you really think you're so great! So many of us have been waiting here for you for hours, and you still have the leisure to run around like this? I think you don't respect us at all..."
Si Qi frowned. The original owner's personality had a great influence on him. His mind was filled with guilt and unease, and he felt that he had done something wrong.
At the same time, he also remembered who the person on the other end of the line was: the original owner's "good friend" who grew up with him in the orphanage, the culprit who repeatedly used, betrayed, and harmed him in the original work, and ultimately caused the original owner to suffer a fate worse than death—in dark-themed novels, this kind of character seems to be a standard feature.
There are three culprits in total, named Lin An, Lin Dong and Lin Yuan. Unlike the original owner Si Qi, who was maliciously abandoned at the gate of an orphanage at the age of three or four and already knew his own name, they were abandoned in various corners of the city after birth due to their gender, illness and other reasons, and were subsequently sent to orphanages by the authorities for care.
Because the original owner was well-behaved and gentle from a young age and knew how to be considerate of others, he often "shared" his toys and food with his three friends. As a result, his friends played with him, and their relationship seemed to be very good at first glance.
But what the actual situation is, only readers who have read the original work and the four members of the group of friends probably know.
Thinking of this, due to the pain from the beating and the fever that hadn't fully awakened his supernatural abilities, Si Qi didn't want to waste any more time talking to the other people. He said in a low voice, "Then you guys play by yourselves. I'm not feeling well, so I'm going back first."
Perhaps the phone was playing the caller ID, because after he finished speaking, a clear female voice suddenly switched to his voice, asking, "Are you feeling unwell? How are you feeling unwell?"
Si Qi tried to pretend he hadn't heard and hung up the phone, but the original owner's docile, ox-like nature made him reflexively reply, "I have a slight fever."
Si Qi, regaining his senses: "…………"
He was somewhat speechless. He raised his hand to press the hang-up button, and as he did so, he heard the woman's voice pause, her breathing quicken, and her volume rise noticeably by two decibels: "Wait for me in the yard, I'll be right there!"
The person next to him looked bewildered: "Xiao Ji, what's wrong? He has a fever, just leave him alone..."
After hanging up the phone, Si Qi frowned slightly.
In the group of four friends, there is no one named "Xiao Ji".
Or rather, in the original story, the original owner never even came into contact with this girl at this point in time.
As he walked toward the orphanage, he compared the original owner's memories with those in the original story, and quickly discovered the differences between the two.
In the original owner's memories, this girl named "Qi Ji" appeared frequently in her friends' groups from the time the original owner started high school. Because she was wealthy and her parents generously donated many things to the orphanage, many children in the orphanage liked to play with her.
The original owner's most snobbish friends certainly wouldn't miss this opportunity, and they quickly became good friends with Qi Ji. The four friends quickly became a five-person group with Qi Ji at its core.
After Qi Ji appeared, the other three, who already didn't have a good attitude towards the original owner, looked down on this free supply station they had grown up with even more and wanted to kick Si Qi out of the circle to reduce a competitor.
However, Qi Ji always liked to include Si Qi in everything she did, and she was not very willing to participate in activities without Si Qi's involvement, which made Lin Dong and the others increasingly dissatisfied with Si Qi.
After this incident, Qi Ji and the other three often took the original owner to places he didn't like to play. Every time, he would inevitably encounter various unexpected events from the original story, such as being attacked, kidnapped, or tortured. Only after he returned battered and bruised and struggling on his own would the four of them come to say something of concern, blaming him for running around and disappearing all of a sudden.
The original owner was completely fooled by this group of people.
Until the very end, when this group of people held his hands and feet, cut open his body with a knife, and extracted the power crystal containing the original owner's superpower that every superhuman possessed, he still didn't know what he had done to offend them or why he was being treated this way.
Si Qi slowly recalled the differences between the original owner's memories and the original story. The effects of the fever made him increasingly tired. He collapsed on the bed in the orphanage and drifted into a dark dream brought on by the illness, and soon fell asleep.
Then I was impatiently and forcefully pushed awake from the bed.
"Wake up, wake up, stop pretending, I know you're not asleep."
Si Qi struggled to open his eyes, his blurry vision revealing four people standing opposite him: two men and two women. Their breaths were burning hot, their cheeks flushed, and their faces showed signs of illness due to a fever.
"Xiao Qi, are you sick?" The girl looked down at Si Qi, and after confirming that he did have a fever, a flash of annoyance crossed her eyes. She asked him with concern, "Did this suddenly happen after you left the police station? Do you have any other symptoms?"
"It's just a fever after being frightened. We've scared him a few times before, and every time he gets sick like this, making a big fuss to get people's sympathy..."
"The dean even wronged us because of this, saying that we bullied him. It's unbelievable. He's clearly just a coward."
"I told you not to try to be a hero. You don't even know your own limitations. Not only did you get beaten up, but you also got sick. The worst part is that you made us wait for so long for nothing!"
Impatient voices began to emerge from the room. Several of Si Qi's childhood friends said irritably, "Alright, just ignore him. He'll be fine after a nap."
"Yes, we went to the mall, but we just stood there waiting for ages and didn't buy anything."
"Didn't you promise to buy us gifts to celebrate our graduation? Now that everyone has seen it, let's just ignore it and go back again."
The group harbored deep resentment towards Si Qi.
Qi Ji had already agreed to buy them gifts, but this person insisted on waiting until Si Qi arrived before buying them together.
Then they waited for several hours, and in the end, Si Qi actually went to the police station, saying "I'm sick" and then refused to go!
What about all that waiting they did from beginning to end? The promised gift is still missing, and it's all Si Qi's fault!
Qi Ji sighed, thinking to himself, "But the villain suddenly has a fever. He must have awakened his plundering ability, right? What am I going to do? Linlin's ability will be stolen by the villain, and she might even be implicated and killed by him. I'm so worried!"
Si Qi opened his eyes, wondering what Qi Ji had suddenly said.
Before he could even ask, he saw that his three friends, who had been standing to the side looking annoyed, suddenly changed their expressions to strange and resentful ones, their eyes filled with venom as they looked at Si Qi.
[If only we could directly disrupt the villain's awakening of superpowers, but instead he got caught up in a supernatural event, developed a fever, and awakened his superpowers.]
[Sigh... Everyone says that the type of superpower is related to the nature of the superhuman. I hope my efforts over this period of time have influenced the villain and made him stop being so selfish and always trying to steal from others.]
At least, don't always drag your friends into this. Not only did you steal Linlin's superpower, but you also sold her at a high price to a black organization that harms superhumans, causing her to be vivisectioned and die on the operating table...
Si Qi found it increasingly strange as he listened, thinking, "Isn't this what these three scumbags did to the original owner in the original story?" But he quickly noticed that although Qi Ji had been talking the whole time, his lips hadn't moved an inch.
And it was obvious that Si Qi, as well as the other teenagers who thought they were putting on a good show, had all heard this person's voice—because the eyes of these three people, whose names could all be 'Lin Lin', were noticeably different from before.
His mind was foggy, and he was trying to figure out what was going on. Unlike the plundering ability that the original owner had awakened, the extraordinary ability that Si Qi had awakened based on his own abilities and nature had finally come into being in Si Qi's mind.
[Omniscient and omnipotent]
A cheat-level ability, just like his plundering ability, that was completely beyond the scope of his abilities, appeared in Si Qi's mind.
Because of the inherent characteristics of the superpower, there was no need for any adaptation time. The omnipotent nature of the superpower allowed Si Qi to master it without any teacher. The omniscient perspective allowed him to see the superpower lights on Qi Ji's body.
[Passing on Heartfelt Voices]
A superpower that functions similarly to dialogue, allowing the transmission of sound without speaking.
It may seem a bit useless, but it's actually very useful for talking badly about people behind their backs, secretly passing on information, doing dirty tricks in front of others, and revealing secrets that can't be told.
This perfectly matches the character of the person in front of me, whether a transmigrator or a reincarnated individual.
Si Qi thought it was most likely that he was a transmigrator.
Otherwise, they wouldn't use the word "villain" to describe a living person in reality, and they certainly wouldn't repeatedly take the original owner to the locations described in the original work in the original timeline, using the original owner to resist the attacks of the superhumans while secretly taking away superhuman items and obtaining the benefits that should have belonged to the original owner in the original work.
Even a reborn person probably couldn't know the original owner's life experiences so well that they could perfectly intercept them from the protagonist time and time again.
As for the description of "villain"...
Looking at the three "friends" opposite him who became increasingly resentful of him the more Qi Ji described him, Si Qi thought that this was probably Qi Ji's purpose.
Using a villain from the beginning to the end of the original story to set a trap for the protagonist is definitely much easier than having a newcomer like her, who is not familiar with the protagonist, do it herself.
In fact, in the original owner's last memories, he was indeed killed by these three friends who inexplicably hated him, who stole the superpower that was powerful enough to destroy the world from his body.
With the most powerful supernatural abilities in the novel, they could, to some extent, even control the entire world, achieve true immortality, and fear no supernatural organization.
However... judging from the indignant looks of the three people next to him, do they think it's normal that they can hear Qi Ji's thoughts? Or do they simply mistakenly believe that they have also awakened some kind of superpower that allows them to eavesdrop on other people's thoughts?
After all, in the original story, these three scumbags never awakened their superpowers through any legitimate channels. They either stumbled upon extraordinary crystals by chance, demanded the original owner share their powers out of jealousy, or brought it upon themselves by joining an illegal organization and gaining twisted powers through human experimentation…
They should all be ordinary people now... Si Qi thought, not seeing any signs of supernatural abilities in them at all.
The reason they continue to listen to Qi Ji's lies without making a sound, without telling Qi Ji that they can hear his thoughts, without actively asking Qi Ji for details, and without causing trouble for the "villain," is either because they believe that the information they overheard is the most authentic, or because they have been deceived by Qi Ji.
Sure enough, the next second, Qi Ji added: "We can't let the villain know that Linlin will awaken her telepathic abilities and overhear their thoughts. Otherwise, the villain will kill her immediately to hide their true identity."
Sure enough, the group immediately revealed wary and apprehensive looks, and their lips tightened even more.
Si Qi: "…………"
Okay, so this group of people so firmly believed the nonsense Qi Ji was spouting, and even though all three of them heard the voices, they all pretended they hadn't heard anything, just because they were afraid that this "villain" would kill them in the future.
Why don't they talk about this with Qi Ji, who is "particularly protective of himself"? That way, they wouldn't have to go through the trouble of eavesdropping to solve the problem, and they could discuss and brainstorm solutions together.
Is it to eavesdrop on more secrets revealed by the transmigrator and gain more benefits for themselves? Or is it to prevent the transmigrator from revealing that they have awakened superpowers in front of the villain, so they are also wary of the transmigrator?
Whatever the reason, it fits the behavior of these three guys in the original work. The transmigrator must have taken this into account as well.
After listening to Qi Ji's long, provocative speech, the three people's resentment towards Si Qi reached its peak. They took turns criticizing the feverish Si Qi as if he were their father's killer.
Meanwhile, Qi Ji, who is beautiful and kind-hearted and has been trying to influence the villains and save the protagonist, stands aside and keeps trying to smooth things over, steer the conversation toward "I'll invite you to the amusement park next time, and we can all make up."
The amusement park is the place in the original story where the original owner encountered the superhuman incident while working. The original owner, who thought himself an ordinary person, accidentally obtained his first cheat ability right under the noses of a group of superhumans.
Because his cheat ability was too powerful, the protagonist embarked on his first journey of being hunted down, rising to power while being repeatedly tormented.
In the timeline before Si Qi arrived, which is the original owner's memory, he did indeed obtain a cheat ability at the amusement park. However, the cheat ability was switched by Qi Ji in the next second, and the original owner was forced to take the blame and was inexplicably besieged by countless people. Qi Ji, knowing that the original owner was being hunted down, enjoyed the benefits brought by the cheat ability and watched from the sidelines with a clear conscience.
Si Qi certainly wouldn't knowingly walk into a trap at the amusement park and become a sucker who delivers money to others.
So he closed his eyes, tilted his head to the side, and pretended to be seriously ill and unconscious, showing no reaction whatsoever.
The group of people who were cursing were getting angry, but Si Qi didn't even glance at them or say a word from beginning to end. Gradually, their voices grew softer and softer, and they were so angry that they couldn't continue cursing.
Qi Ji, who was trying to trick Si Qi into becoming her tool, couldn't break her persona by forcibly waking Si Qi up, so she had to give up for the time being.
The group left the cramped room in a noisy commotion. Lin Yuan, clinging to her "best friend's" arm, said, "If Si Qi isn't going, fine. How about we go shopping? I've wanted that bag for ages!"
In her heart, Qi Ji, who had portrayed herself as a good sister, naturally agreed without hesitation: "Okay, Lin An and Lin Dong can come along too."
The four walked side by side in the corridor of the orphanage, chatting and laughing in perfect harmony, completely concealing the scheming and undercurrents swirling beneath the surface.
Inside the room, Si Qi, who had been pretending to be asleep, opened his eyes. The buzzing noise in his ears disappeared, and he felt that the whole world was much quieter.
However, when he thought about the transmigrator who had been plotting for a long time, the original owner's tragic future, and the novels that abused the protagonist with all sorts of malice, he couldn't help but feel exhausted.
He truly inherited the original owner's gentle and averse-to-fighting nature, like the gentle moonlight, calm and serene, illuminating the earth without any scorching intent.
Si Qi had absolutely no interest in fighting these people to the death to become a super-powered ability user and crush all enemies. But passively taking a beating and waiting for trouble to come knocking on his door was clearly not in Si Qi's nature, and it would be extremely troublesome.
As far as he knew, the original owner had offended the superhuman who used his powers to molest the girl because he had called the police.
This superhuman, born into wealth and with a twisted personality, fell for the school beauty but failed to win her over by force, and even lost his prized superpower. At this point, hatred filled his mind.
He harbored a grudge against the original owner of the body who interrupted his good time and seemed to have caused him to lose his superpowers. When the police came knocking, he used his family background to bribe the school beauty and had her turn the tables and say that the original owner had hurt her, and that the rich second-generation only hit the original owner to save someone.
As a result, the original owner was taken away by the police in full view of the school. The school beauty cried and told her classmates about the violence that the original owner had committed against her. The rich second-generation, with the halo of being a hero who saved her, kept smearing the original owner in the school.
In this dark and brutal novel, the original owner experienced for the first time being slandered for doing a good deed. Everyone cursed and scorned him. His friends (the trio of scumbags) didn't believe him and even accused him instead. He was condemned by everyone at school and online. He could only leave school and work outside, wearing a heavy mascot costume in the sweltering heat, to earn money to pay the school beauty's family, who demanded a huge sum of money for emotional distress.
Then...then he encountered the superhuman incident at the amusement park and was drawn into a new wave of turmoil (being tortured).
...So who exactly is reading these protagonist-torture novels? The tropes are just too classic.
Si Qi rubbed his forehead.
Logically, at this point, Si Qi should have gotten up immediately and gathered evidence. He could have recorded the conversation with the rich kid to prove his innocence, and then waited for the school beauty's distorted testimony to reverse the truth.
But he was truly impatient to face the endless stream of troubles that followed. The original owner's personality wasn't suited to these kinds of things, and it would be incredibly torturous for him, like throwing a quiet, socially awkward person into a party and forcing him to be the center of attention.
It's not that I'm not capable of doing it, it's that the process is too painful, and just thinking about it makes me feel exhausted.
Si Qi thought for a moment, then quietly leaned back on the bed, lounging like a lazy bum. While recuperating, he also used his [Omniscient and Omnipotent] ability to create a book that could not be destroyed by any external force and delivered it to the officials of this world.
That book is the original work of this world.
That is also... the future that is about to happen in this world.
A future where extraordinary individuals emerge one after another, social systems are in turmoil, and even the entire world is destroyed by one person.
People in this world would certainly not expect that kind of ending. They would be more anxious than anyone else to find the protagonist and protect the boy in the original story who was "favored by fate" and would never truly die no matter how much he was tortured or killed, until he finally gave up hope and transformed into a ferocious monster that devoured the entire world.
They won't stand idly by and let him, as in the original story, be deceived, used, and betrayed all the way, and then be driven step by step to that miserable and hopeless dead end, embracing pain and perishing with the whole world...
So, you must protect your main character!
Si Qi closed his eyes and fell asleep peacefully.
