This villain has become a ghost

"Then... fate brought down punishment and destroyed the system. As a result... I couldn't go home and stayed here forever."

Nangong Wanqing's voice was low and hoarse, containing infinite sadness, which struck Yue Liuyun and Qiu Shuangwan's hearts like pieces of gravel.

Qiu Shuangwan suddenly felt a chill on her back: "How is this possible? The system was killed by destiny... How is this possible..."

If that's the case, then what was that system he and Yue Liuyun encountered? They clearly received instructions and tasks from the system!

Will it be...

A terrifying thought emerged in his mind, and he whispered, "Yue Liuyun, what do you think? Could it be that it was actually destiny, not the system, that issued us this mission? It didn't intend to take us home at all, but instead tricked us here... to keep us here forever?"

Could it be that this is all just a scam and they can't actually go home at all?

Otherwise, they wouldn't be given such meaningless tasks as "survive to the end", nor would they appear once and then disappear without a trace... Qiu Shuangwan became more and more scared as she thought about it. Her body trembled slightly. She looked at Yue Liuyun eagerly, placing all her hopes on her.

He doesn't want to stay here.

"will not."

Yue Liuyun and Nangong Wanqing retorted in unison, and saw the answer in each other's eyes.

Their firm voices made Qiu Shuangwan feel a little more at ease.

Yue Liuyun said, "Everything is tied to profit. Why would Destiny trap us here? It doesn't benefit it at all. Besides...it's Destiny that has always been the one who doesn't want outsiders to interfere with this world. The system is the one who truly brought us here."

"So I'm more inclined to believe that after the old system was destroyed, the new system reached a consensus with Heaven's Fate, or that the new system convinced Heaven's Fate, which led us here."

But these are just guesses.

Nangong Mingzhu's spirit listened to her thoughtfully, then suddenly drifted to Yue Liuyun's side, lowered its head, a sharp glint flashed in its eyes, and nonchalantly leaned close to her ear and said, "Instead of guessing here, it's better to..."

Yue Liuyun met his eyes, understood what he meant, and chuckled.

That's right.

It would be better to...

Just force it out.

Yue Liuyun stroked the scabbard with his fingers, then gripped the handle tightly and placed it across...Qiu Shuangwan's neck. The sharp blade was only 0.01 centimeters away from his neck.

Qiu Shuangwan: “…”

My friend, what are you doing?! ! !

She smiled and said, "It's come to this, and you still haven't come out. Isn't that too much of a stretch? If that's the case, how can we trust you? If we don't trust you, then there's no reason for us to continue the mission."

She smiled kindly, but her tone was sinister and contained some naked threats.

"In that case, I'd rather die in glory than live in disgrace. I'll kill them both first and then commit suicide. You can find someone else. We sisters won't do this anymore!"

Qiu Shuangwan: “…”

Then what about not hitting her first or hitting you first? And what about "sisters"? He is a man, okay?

Nangong Wanqing cooperated very well and said, "Why don't you chop me first and give Brother Liu a decent death, like drinking some poisoned wine or something."

"Sister Wan is so righteous," Qiu Shuangwan dodged the sword and cupped her hands, "I am very satisfied with this way of dying."

Yue Liuyun nodded and said, "Okay." Then he put the knife across Nangong Wanqing's neck.

Nangong Wanqing was not afraid of death. She leaned her neck forward, and the sharp blade cut a bloody mark on her fair skin...

Even Yue Liuyun was stunned.

Sis, please don't do that. I'm afraid my hands are shaking and if I can't hold it steady, you'll really get hurt. Calm down. This is just an act...

Just as the blade was about to penetrate her flesh and cut her throat, Yue Liuyun quickly retracted the knife, followed by a young and sweet voice of a young boy, which rang in the minds of the three people.

[Stop, don't hurt her!] His voice was very urgent, filled with anxiety and uneasiness, and he said in a deep voice, [What do you want to know? I tell you, don't hurt her!]

Yue Liuyun and Qiu Shuangwan breathed a sigh of relief. The system finally showed up. What a joke.

However, after hearing this voice, Nangong Wanqing's pupils constricted, her eyes suddenly froze, and she froze in place. Her eye sockets suddenly turned red, and tears welled up in her eyes, wetting her face.

Her lips trembled as she slowly stood up, clenching the Buddhist beads in her hand. Tears silently flowed out, and she looked around blankly. In the candlelight, her expression was filled with sorrow and pain, and she whispered, "Atan..."

A Tan?

Yue Liuyun and Qiu Shuangwan looked at each other and saw shock and confusion in each other's eyes.

what the hell.

What's happening here.

This system that finally appeared seemed to have a deep and unknown relationship with Nangong Wanqing.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and the entire room was filled with an oppressive and heavy atmosphere. Nangong Wanqing's tears fell like pearls from a broken string, her eyes filled with confusion and pain. The truth told her that this system was her A-Tan.

Finally, the system broke the silence, with a barely perceptible tremor in its voice.

【Wanqing, it’s me…I’m sorry.】

His voice was bitter, filled with deep guilt and helplessness.

"What is going on? You died saving me back then, so why have you become a system now?" Nangong Wanqing's voice trembled. She forced herself to calm down, bitterness lingering between her lips and teeth, and she spoke with difficulty.

The system was silent.

After a long time, his voice sounded again. He did not answer directly, but changed the subject and spoke hesitantly.

[Wanqing, are you safe now? Did they hurt you?]

Nangong Wanqing shook her head slightly, tears still flowing uncontrollably, and she burst into laughter: "You fool, you are still as stupid as before, can't you see that we are acting?"

Her voice contained a hint of teasing, a hint of helplessness, but more of it was deep nostalgia.

Although she was shocked and sad, she was more relieved to have found what she had lost. She had never thought that she could still hear her voice and feel his presence.

At least he's alive.

System: [……] The knife was really about to cut her throat at that time, how could she act like this?

He was a little angry, but he didn't know what to be angry about.

Maybe... he really is just a fool.

Just as Yue Liuyun and Qiu Shuangwan were enjoying their melons, Nangong Mingzhu suddenly calmed down, frowned, and said to Yue Liuyun, "I seem to... remember this name."

Yue Liuyun: “!!!”

Could it be that Nangong Mingzhu also knew him?
