After the mind-reading and gossip-eating incident, officials in the imperial city were demoted one a

"Then thank you. I won't be burned to ashes and suffocate to death soon. I'll unlock a new way to die."

Although Ye Yaoyao said this, she was still thinking about how to save herself. If she could have another life, she should live it well.

"Host, you're welcome!"

The system's voice, transmitted through an electronic synthesizer, responded to her in the tone of a cute little boy, as if it didn't understand that she wasn't thanking it at that moment.

Ye Yaoyao couldn't help but curse inwardly, "Holy crap (grass is a type of plant), system, what kind of product are you? Are you a defective one?!"

She was filled with distrust towards this so-called "good friend" who had suddenly appeared.

Sensing her dissatisfaction, the system responded with a wronged voice: "Host, I'm going to be your good friend from now on, so you can't secretly scold me!"

Ye Yaoyao rolled her eyes, took a deep breath, and decided to try it out first to see if this system could really become her help.

"What system are you?"

The system's little boy voice suddenly became somewhat deep:

"Good and evil have been a topic of deep exploration since ancient times. My birth carries a sacred mission: to distinguish between good and evil in this world, so that people can discern right from wrong and find the light in their hearts amidst the complexities of life."

"Shut up and get to the point!"

Ye Yaoyao's voice carried a hint of impatience. She felt another tremor, and the coffin lid was nailed shut again. Then she heard what sounded like chanting for the deceased.

Fortunately, she had a coffin nail driven in, and they were chanting sutras outside. If this useless system continued to nag, she would really be nailed to death inside.

She needed to figure out a way to get out before the four nails were completely in place; she didn't have time to listen to the system's nagging.

"This system allows the host to know whether a person is good or bad. Through this system, the host can distinguish between a person's good and bad qualities, and also get to know a lot of fresh gossip that others are unaware of."

"Host, how about you form a contract with me? I guarantee you'll have a wonderful time here."

The system's voice gradually became lower and more seductive, because it knew that this host was not someone who enjoyed gossip.

That's right, Ye Yaoyao isn't a gossipy person. There's a medical dispute at the hospital every two or three days, and she usually avoids it as much as possible.

She was really unlucky this time. She had just arrived at the hospital when the phone rang. She took her phone out of her bag to answer it when she was stabbed and brought here.

"I'm completely powerless right now, lying in this coffin and unable to get out. You want me to go to the underworld to eat melons?"

The system was in an extremely awkward situation. Although it had the ability to read people's minds, it had no ability to rescue people from their coffins.

However, having already tracked it this far, how could the system give up so easily? So, the system cleared its throat and began to spout nonsense with a straight face:

"Host, you can rest assured that you are a person with great fortune and are destined not to die young."

"If you make a pact with me, I can find other ways to save you."

"what way?"

A glimmer of hope surged in Ye Yaoyao's heart. She listened to the system's seemingly confident tone and was somewhat tempted. Since she was just lying here waiting to die anyway, she might as well listen and see before making a decision.

"There's a benefit after the contract," the system drawled, keeping the audience in suspense.

"What benefits?" Can't this garbage system just tell me everything at once? Why does it have to keep me hanging like this?

However, she had no time to think anymore, and felt another tremor as the third nail was driven in.

Ye Yaoyao stopped asking questions and quickly agreed to the contract: "System, I agree to the contract with you, immediately."

"Okay! Host, I will form a contract with you now."

System: Hehehe! Consensus has finally been reached!

Ye Yaoyao felt something directly enter her body, and then she regained some strength. She could only hear faint sounds outside before, but now she could hear them louder. Otherwise, nothing seemed to have changed.

"Host, I've now formed a contract with you. From now on, you can communicate with me using your thoughts!"

The system's voice was excited, which displeased Ye Yaoyao; she felt cheated.

"This system is garbage. It doesn't say that there's a way to get me out after the contract is signed. I haven't felt any obvious benefits."

In the hall, the crowd, who were still grieving, seemed to hear Ye Yaoyao's voice. They were stunned for a moment, thinking they were hallucinating.

Everyone felt as if their hearts were being torn apart, and the thought of never hearing her cheerful and energetic voice again made the pain in their hearts even more unbearable.

"Yes, yes, host, don't worry, wait a moment, this benefit will arrive a little later."

The system continued to soothe Ye Yaoyao in a gentle tone, but it couldn't tell her directly that there would be potential bugs after signing a contract with it.

The bug is that some of her relatives and those with great fortune can hear her innermost thoughts.

This is an extremely sensitive issue, because no one wants their thoughts and feelings to be known by others. Even in such a dangerous moment, the system would not tell Ye Yaoyao the truth.

Ye Yaoyao keenly noticed the ambiguity in the system's words.

"How much later?" Ye Yaoyao felt like she might be being tricked.

"The exact time is uncertain; it could be the next second, or it could be... a day or two."

The system silently offered Ye Yaoyao words of encouragement:

Host, your life is in your own hands. Now, only you can save your life.

Unleash your incredible imagination! Go for it, we believe in you!

"Wouldn't I be completely dead in a day or two? I guess I really can't rely on others; I have to rely on myself."

Ye Yaoyao touched the cold surface, guessing it was a bronze burial object. She picked it up and continued to knock on it forcefully until her hand ached, but no one heard her.

"Phew! I'm exhausted." The coffin was made of some kind of material, yet she could feel the fluctuations in the system.

"Why does the system seem so excited? I'm about to die again, what's there to be so happy about?"

The system didn't respond. Even someone as strong and optimistic as Ye Yaoyao couldn't hold back at this moment.

"Mother! Gods and immortals, save me! Something inhumane is happening here, a beautiful young girl is about to suffocate."

Liu Yunshu suddenly stood up. She heard her daughter calling for her mother, and a light appeared in her empty eyes. She looked around and saw the others bowing their heads and grieving silently. Finally, she looked at the coffin.

"My goodness, why did you buy such a high-quality coffin? I can't even open the lid."

Liu Yunshu stared wide-eyed in disbelief. She...she...really heard her daughter's voice.

"It feels so bad, I feel like I'm going to suffocate."

Yao Yao said she was about to suffocate. Could it be that God was sending her daughter back to her side?

Just as the fourth nail was about to be driven in, Liu Yunshu acted faster than she thought and ran over to stop it.

"Don't nail it. Yaoyao isn't dead. You can't nail it."
