After Black Moonlight revealed her true feelings, everyone panicked.

At first, Lu Sijian did have suspicions that the fake Lu Ting was in cahoots with the system.

In her opinion, the original plot was too strange. If she was the villain who did all sorts of bad things, then it would be reasonable for her to be killed by the plot.

It's very strange that none of the three Lu brothers, who were clearly part of the main cast, met a good end.

It was as if an invisible hand was silently pushing everything forward, aiming to destroy the Lu family.

From the very beginning, Lu Sijian suspected the two survivors, Uncle Fu and Lu Ting.

After all, the ending of leaving the country because of heartbreak is too suspicious; it really seems like absconding with the money and getting away with it.

The two have been living abroad for many years. On the surface, the Lu family appears to be bankrupt, but if they were to secretly transfer assets abroad, it might not be detected in China.

Conversely, if the two want to transfer assets, they must remove Lu Lingjun, the biggest obstacle, then Lu Lingjun's vomiting blood is not simply due to cancer.

If it were a system, it wouldn't be impossible for it to create cancer for Lu Lingjun using props.

Because of these suspicions, she remained silent and passed the information to Sheng Yunchao when she discovered that the fake Lu Ting's hand injury would heal on its own.

They were too passive. Given the severe information asymmetry, they needed to find helpers and allies, which is why she asked Sheng Yunchao for help.

However, she was also surprised that Lu Lingjun, who had completely distanced himself from her, still chose to stand on her side.

“The plot was provided to me by you, so it’s normal for me to suspect you,” Lu Sijian said.

The black-haired priest lowered his eyes. He had never imagined that the deaths of the three Lu brothers were actually a conspiracy to seize all of the Lu family's property.

These plot points weren't just randomly written by the priests; they were deduced by the temple, representing the most likely outcomes of the small world's self-operation, and their accuracy is extremely high.

Therefore, he never interferes with the self-operation of the small world, nor does he assign random tasks to those who undertake them.

But humans are the biggest variable; sometimes even priests have to intervene, writing a storyline so that the smaller worlds operate according to it.

Taking advantage of this, Number 14 and his ilk recklessly used the power of the gods to manipulate the fates of people in the small world.

Although opinions were mixed, it did indeed invigorate the minds of those in the forbidden area.

The divine realm is accompanied by stars, but the stars are vast and boundless, and souls without bodies can easily fall into a deep sleep, never to awaken again.

Once the last soul falls asleep... the divine kingdom will also perish completely.

The black-haired priest snapped out of his thoughts. "You still haven't answered me. Why are we continuing the mission?"

The idea that childhood experiences cannot be erased is not an absolute reason.

How can a flower that blooms amidst hardship be easily defeated?

Lu Sijian: "Then answer me first, has time ever been reset?"

If time hasn't been reset, then why was Sheng Yunchao able to dream of the scenes deep within the temple?

Unless he had been inside before and had some unknown connection to the depths of the temple.

The black-haired priest remained silent for a moment.

[...Time has been reset, starting from when you woke up.]

The Kingdom of God can manipulate time, but only the time in which they participate. They cannot manipulate or know anything about the past.

This is why the fallen god entered this small world ahead of time, carefully influencing and confusing them without them even noticing.

Lu Sijian asked softly, "So those betrayals really happened?"

The black-haired priest knew that the best course of action was to remain silent and let her misunderstand, but his heart tightened slightly, and he was ultimately unwilling to keep it a secret.

[It happened, but you didn't experience it personally. Instead, other mission participants inhabited your body and carried out their tasks.]

Those were all former mission takers. Their crimes were minor, and after their release from prison, they would usually take a large reward and live a life of extravagance.

But once their money is all gone, those money-grubbing dens will kick them out. With nowhere to go, they have no choice but to work for the temple to earn extra money.

Because Lu Sijian, the person involved, refused to sign the agreement, Number 14, who was in charge of this small world at the time, went crazy with anger and dragged her soul to follow those mission takers, experiencing those betrayals again and again.

Sometimes, when some task participants are too self-centered, they will use this tactic to make the other party realize that their fate is unchangeable, and ultimately force them to compromise.

This is also to increase entertainment value and stimulate the activity of the brains deep within the temple.

Almost every mission taker, after having their memories stripped away, will inevitably perish step by step along the predetermined path of fate.

Lu Sijian eventually signed the agreement, but took the initiative to request "a system with stable emotions," which is why he became the manager.

At that time, he didn't think there was any difference between the mission takers and the mission takers.

To be honest, they were cunning and greedy, which is why they tested their ability to deliver on their promises at the very beginning of the mission.

Some priests were wary of such a test, feeling it was offensive, but he thought it was a good thing, as the money and goods were settled, so he directly paid out 50.

Looking back now, she was incredibly clever; she started probing his background right from that point on.

"See, this is the answer." Lu Sijian narrowed her eyes. "They betrayed me, of course I have to retaliate. Do you think I'd let them get away with it?"

"That's just who I am, I believe in an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth." She lightly jumped off the bed, her toes touching the soft carpet, and opened the glass door. A gust of wind rushed in, and her hair fluttered in the wind.

The cold moon outside the window was like frost, and the wind was biting and icy.

She stood against the wind, smiling softly, the smile not reaching her eyes. "The reason I signed the agreement back then was definitely for revenge, wasn't it?"

“I want to take revenge on each and every one of them. More than death, I want to see their spirits destroyed, to make them live a hundred times more tormented than if they were dead.”

This was the most vicious curse, ensuring they would never have peace for the rest of their lives.

The black-haired priest looked at her standing in the moonlight.

The bright moon shines like frost, reflecting people like a painting.

At that moment, my heart was pounding so hard it was unbearable.

"Okay, we'll cooperate," he said in a hoarse voice.

He was glad the control panel had a voice changer function; otherwise, she would have definitely heard the joy and eagerness in his voice.

The black-haired priest quickly adjusted his breathing, keeping himself strictly professional.

I will heal Lu Lingbai and Lu Lingjun, making them live the rest of their lives in regret; I will also protect you from judgment, so you can watch them suffer in agony from the temple.

Lu Sijian smiled gently: "Is that so? That's wonderful."

[But you must bring Number 2 out. I want to test that traitor, so I can't extradite you immediately...]

The black-haired priest hesitated for a moment, mainly because the task was somewhat difficult.

Number 2 killed Lu Ting, and the brothers Lu Lingjun and Lu Lingchen wished they could devour his flesh and drink his blood. Lu Sijian's actions were tantamount to betraying the Lu family.

Unexpectedly, Lu Sijian quickly agreed: "Okay, deal!"
