A hint of hidden light flashed in Mantou's eyes, but his expression remained calm and composed.

"I'm just a part-time job system. I don't know that. My existence is to assist the host in completing the mission. I think I've told you this before."

Last time, it was caught by Shen Jiahe and forced to reveal Shen Anran's secret.

What's going on now?

The rules of how the world works? Is that something it can know?

Shen Jiahe's eyes instantly turned cold. "You two must give me an answer today, or no one of you can leave here."

As soon as these words came out, the temperature in the surrounding air seemed to be sucked out, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.

The fat cat raised its paw cautiously, a hint of panic in its voice.

"Master, let me be honest. I'm just new here. I really don't know what you're talking about. I think this senior must know the inside story."

When Mantou heard Fat Cat pointing the finger at him, he immediately became furious and yelled, "Are you sick? You don't know, but how could I know it?"

It's not a high-ranking figure, so it doesn't know any rules.

Shen Jiahe said to Fat Cat, "You can go out now."

Fat Cat felt relieved, nodded quickly, and ran outside quickly, fearing that Shen Jiahe would change his mind.

It had been with Shen Jiahe for so long, but this was the first time it had seen her with such a cold expression, one could even say it was filled with murderous intent.

It seems that he is really angry this time. That senior can only wish him good luck.

Only Shen Jiahe and Mantou were left in the room. The man and the cat just stared at each other, and a strange atmosphere spread in the air.

Mantou sighed, breaking the tense atmosphere.

It said helplessly: "I really don't know, and aren't you the creator of this world? You should know more than me."

The operation of this world is based on the background of the novel. As the author of the novel, Shen Jiahe should be familiar with everyone's experience and every plot.

Ask it what's the use of a humble working system, it can't contact the main system now.

Even if we know that there are holes in this world, we cannot fix them.

It could only pray silently that Shen Anran would get rid of his inner obsession as soon as possible so that it could take a vacation.

Since Shen Anran warned it last time, it has not peeked at the numbers again, but its intuition tells it that Shen Anran's obsession is slowly decreasing.

Shen Jiahe's eyes were cold. "But is this really the way it was originally? This isn't Shen Anran's first rebirth, is it?"

When Mantou heard this, his eyes widened in disbelief.

"That's impossible. I really don't know. I told you before that Shen Anran was already dead when I arrived. The main system told me that if anything happened to Shen Anran, it might cause the world to restart, but she didn't."

Shen Jiahe slowly approached Mantou, her eyes becoming increasingly gloomy.

She said coldly: "You are hiding something from me."

Mantou felt unprecedented pressure. He tried his best to remain calm, but his voice was still trembling: "Really not."

Shen Jiahe's aura was too strong, and Mantou didn't dare to look her in the eye.

It took a few steps back, trying to distance itself from Shen Jiahe.

"I hate deception the most. Since you know nothing and have no value to exploit, I don't think I need to continue wasting my time with you."

As the words fell, Shen Jiahe suddenly took out a fruit knife from somewhere.

Mantou was frightened by her gaze and for a moment he even forgot to run away, his body stiffening in place.

Shen Jiahe gestured with a knife at Mantou's neck. Although her movements were gentle, they were full of threats.

"You are a system. You won't truly die. When this body dies, you should appear in another animal."

Mantou finally came to his senses under the threat of death.

It yelled, "Shen Anran will be sad if she knows. You can't hurt me!"

Shen Jiahe sneered, "Really? But she doesn't know about it. Maybe you ran away and left her behind."

"I really don't know. I'm just an ordinary system with very limited authority. Those confidential information is not for me to know."

"Negotiation failed, goodbye."

Shen Jiahe swung his arm down, and the fruit knife flashed with a cold light and went straight to Mantou's neck.

At this critical moment, Mantou quickly told the information he knew:

"I overheard them saying that this world is very strange. A time traveler once came here, but he disappeared. Some said he stayed here, while others said he was dead."

This sentence was like a spell that froze Shen Jiahe's movements in mid-air.

She retracted the knife, her eyes fixed on Mantou, wondering in her heart whether the information was true.

"Go on." Shen Jiahe's voice was cold and hard, but the murderous intent in his eyes had diminished a little.

Mantou added weakly, "That was a conversation I overheard. I don't know if it's true or not."

"What will happen to those who stay here?"

Mantou swallowed and told the answer he knew.

"Travelers are not allowed to stay in other time and space. If they force it, there will be only one ending. That is, when the most important person dies, they will be trapped in reincarnation countless times, watching the other person die before their eyes again and again."

This answer made Shen Jiahe's expression even more solemn.

"What's the name of this time traveler? Is he a man or a woman?"

Mantou shook his head. "I don't know either, but I didn't find anything unusual about this world. Maybe they made a mistake."

And those were the words it overheard. What if they were talking about other worlds?

Shen Jiahe was silent for a moment, and the knife in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.

Her voice was still cold: "Does Shen Anran know about this?"

"She doesn't know, because she has always wanted to return to the real world, but there is only one way to go back, and that is to eliminate the obsession in her heart."

"What if she doesn't want to go back?"

Mantou was silent. The answer was obvious, but he was unwilling to say it.

Although it didn't have much affection for Shen Anran, she was its host after all.

It will also affect its holidays and wages.

If Shen Anran is unwilling to go back, then when Zhou Jingyan dies, she will be immersed in reincarnation and watch Zhou Jingyan die again and again.

This reincarnation is not a rebirth, but a spiritual dream, until her soul is shattered and her body can no longer bear it, and she eventually dies here.

"I don't want Shen Anran to know about our conversation." Shen Jiahe warned.

"it is good."

Of course, it would not tell Shen Anran on its own initiative, as that would be digging a hole for itself.

Shen Jiahe strode out, his expression becoming increasingly cold.

If Shen Anran is a book traveler, then according to the rules told by the cat, Zhou Jingyan will definitely die before Shen Anran.

But in the novel, Shen Anran died in the streets, and Zhou Jingyan died on the way back home after learning the news.

Therefore, the real person who traveled through the book was not Shen Anran, but Zhou Jingyan.
