Defeat the system! Kiss my little monster!

The heavy sound of the door slamming shut still echoes in Cheng Jingyi's ears, lingering for a long time.

A horde of zombies roared toward him from behind. Cheng Jingyi staggered a few steps and crawled to the door, where he frantically pounded on the iron gate.

The main door had already been locked from the inside, and even the windows had been boarded up from the inside, making the area completely sealed off.

"Let me in... Dad, Mom... let me in! Please!"

The fear that followed him was accompanied by trembling. Cheng Jingyi kept pounding on the door. His palms were cut open by the sharp edges, and blood kept flowing, but the reinforced iron door remained unmoved.

The colorful ball floated in the air, still exerting its alluring effect. As more and more zombies gathered, those hiding inside were also affected, standing hesitantly behind the door, unsure whether to open it.

In the end, Shen Heng managed to grab the doorknob, but time was running out. Cheng Jingyi was bitten on the back by a zombie that pounced on her and was dragged and thrown into the horde of zombies.

Screams seemed to come from inside the house. Cheng Jingyi fell into the horde of zombies. The gaping mouths of the zombies, dripping with saliva, were exposed to him, emitting a foul stench and pus and blood. They soon tore his body apart.

The colorful ball froze in mid-air, its radiance enveloping Cheng Jingyi's body. It seemed to want to protect Cheng Jingyi, but the effect was the opposite.

Those colorful lights attracted zombies from hundreds of miles around within a minute or two, and they all rushed towards Cheng Jingyi without regard for their lives.

“Ahhhh——!!!”

Cheng Jingyi seemed to hear the sound of his bones being crushed. His eyes were blurry and he couldn't see clearly. He could only feel the weight of the zombie horde piled on him increasing. These zombies were frantically and greedily devouring his flesh.

[don't want--]

A zombie bit off Cheng Jingyi's neck.

The world in Cheng Jingyi's mind fell silent. Darkness, silence, and pain intertwined and mixed together, leading to his death.

Cheng Jingyi didn't know how she gradually regained her senses.

He was supposed to be devoured by the zombies, but during the process of being eaten, the virus accelerated its infection of Cheng Jingyi's body. After he mutated, he became a low-level zombie and actually lifted the horde of zombies that were pressing down on him, escaping through the gaps.

After that, Cheng Jingyi was in a dazed state for a long time. Low-level zombies have no mind and are like walking corpses, and after the colored ball detected his death, it also released its binding on him.

Cheng Jingyi vaguely remembered what the colorful ball said to him before it left, but he was in a daze at the time and couldn't hear what it said at all.

After speaking, the colorful ball left Cheng Jingyi. Its power had not fully recovered and was not enough for it to leave this world, so it needed to find another host.

Cheng Jingyi was in a daze for nearly two or three months. Then one day, his body fell ill, and his heart, which had stopped beating, started beating again, and he miraculously woke up.

Cheng Jingyi still retains memories of what happened before. But now that he has become a zombie, he should have long since severed all ties with the past.

Until Cheng Jingyi saw Shen Heng again. And... the colorful ball system floating beside Shen Heng.

The colorful ball changed its target and reappeared in front of Cheng Jingyi.

The colorful ball seemed surprised that Cheng Jingyi could regain her senses. It carefully examined Cheng Jingyi's body, hesitated for a moment, and then decided to erase all of Cheng Jingyi's memories of it.

However, Cheng Jingyi's trajectory after the illness was no longer under the control of the Color Ball, and the memory erasure that the Color Ball had cast on Cheng Jingyi had no effect.

Cheng Jingyi dared not easily reveal himself, so he pretended to know nothing in front of the colorful ball.

The system can eliminate hosts it cannot control. Cheng Jingyi, as the former host of the colorful ball, is still within its elimination range.

Cheng Jingyi was aware of the colorful ball's abilities, and it stayed by Shen Heng's side, constantly demonstrating its brilliance and function.

Cheng Jingyi had no choice but to cooperate. Any unreasonable behavior would arouse Caiqiu's suspicion, and Cheng Jingyi didn't want to confront Caiqiu directly.

Just when everything was proceeding slowly according to the plan of the colorful ball, Shen Yisui appeared out of nowhere.

He was like an untamed wild beast, capable of both pretense and biting. He retained the worst aspect of his primal nature, always revealing his ferocity whenever he met Shen Heng.

The charm that Caiqiu possessed over others had absolutely no effect on Shen Yisui.

Cheng Jingyi had his suspicions. He had secretly observed Shen Yisui and Caiqiu and found that every time Shen Yisui appeared, Caiqiu would silently watch him from a distance that was neither too close nor too far.

It's like nostalgia, yet also like fear.

"You mean... it's afraid of me?" Shen Yisui frowned upon hearing this.

Cheng Jingyi's tone was particularly certain: "It is indeed timid, but it's not a system that runs away. However, it will give way appropriately every time you appear. Otherwise, how do you think you could have stabbed Shen Heng right under its nose?"

Shen Yisui found it even stranger: "But I don't recognize it, and I don't know what it looks like."

Shen Yisui was blind and could not see anything, let alone understand this alien system that was beyond his comprehension.

Even the chance to eke out a living only came after Shen Yisui's death, and Shen Yisui had no awareness of the colorful ball that Cheng Jingyi mentioned while he was alive.

“Then I don’t know.” Cheng Jingyi turned over, touched the bloody hole in Shen Yisui’s chest, and said, “But you keep going against Shen Heng, which will eventually make it unhappy.”

Shen Yi snorted: "I have never provoked him. He's always the one who picks trouble for no reason."

Cheng Jingyi smiled silently: "I know."

Shen Yisui is the kind of person who is as docile as a rabbit when silent, but as cunning as a wolf when in action. If Shen Heng hadn't said something that he found unbearable, Shen Yisui wouldn't have attacked Shen Heng in public.

Based on Shen Yisui's past behavior, he will most likely find an inconspicuous alley at night and kill Shen Heng.

Cheng Jingyi had previously imagined the scene where the colorful ball was still by his side, wanting to see Shen Yisui completely captivated by it.

Then I thought about it again and realized it wasn't very realistic. Shen Yisui is the best he is now. If he were really that easy to manipulate, it would make Cheng Jingyi feel bored.

Shen Yisui pursed his lips. He was so stiff and unable to move because of Cheng Jingyi's pressure that he changed his position in the closet.

“Cheng Jingyi, if it’s really as you say, then I do have a way to deal with it,” Shen Yisui said.

Cheng Jingyi narrowed her eyes: "What do you want?"

“Not very good.” Shen Yi’s pupils moved, and he spoke slowly, “Since this colorful ball doesn’t dare to attack me now, there are some things I think it’s necessary to let Shen Heng know.”
