Quick Transmigration: Refusing to Be a Victim's Child

Wu Liangxin slowly opened her eyes and found herself in a narrow and dark tin shack.

Recalling the terrifying scene of her and her parents sitting in the car just moments before, and then the car plunging off a cliff, she shuddered and instinctively reached out to grab something nearby.

However, as soon as she made a move, some blurry images flashed through her mind.

"Beast meat? Poisoning? The outer perimeter of the base... the Shao family... superpowers... ugh, my head hurts!"

Wu Liangxin covered her head tightly with both hands, gasped softly, and uttered only fragments of words.

After a long while, using the crimson light filtering through the gaps in the metal sheet, she examined her calloused and withered hands and murmured to herself:

"So, I really time-traveled? What if my parents also...?"

Thinking of this possibility, Wu Liangxin didn't even bother to put on her shoes and ran out of the small house barefoot.

What came into view was a middle-aged couple whose faces were unfamiliar. They were sitting solemnly at a wooden table in the living room, with pots, pans and dishes that had not been washed the night before on the table.

Perhaps hearing the noise, the couple turned their heads at the same time, their eyes filled with doubt and scrutiny, and looked at Wu Liangxin.

Wu Liangxin felt a chill run down her spine under their gaze. She involuntarily stopped and fixed her eyes on the original owner's parents in front of her. She slowly and tentatively began to speak:

"Mom and Dad, have you ever heard of the Dragon's Spine Tunnel?"

This is the location where the Wu family of three was involved in a car accident. If the couple in front of you knows this place, it means that her parents have also traveled through time.

Wu Liangxin unconsciously clasped her hands together, her heart pounding in her chest.

Are you Liang...Xin?

The middle-aged man broke the silence first, meeting Wu Liangxin's excited gaze, and said in a slightly hoarse voice:

"...So, you've possessed this body? This is what they call 'time travel,' right?"

"Yes, waaaaah, that's great! Mom and Dad, you've traveled through time too."

Wu Liangxin could no longer control her emotions and happily leaped into the middle-aged woman's arms, saying with a look of lingering fear:

"I thought I would never see you all again in this lifetime. Fortunately, you are all here."

The middle-aged woman was suddenly embraced tightly by her, her body stiffening instantly, her eyes filled with sorrow and hatred.

She slowly raised her hands, about to grab Wu Liangxin's neck, but her husband quickly stopped her.

The middle-aged man shook his head secretly, signaling to the other party not to make any rash moves.

Seeing this, the woman pursed her lips and changed her pinching action to a gentle stroking, lightly caressing Wu Liangxin's back with one hand.

Wu Liangxin nestled affectionately in her mother's arms and cried for a while, but then noticed that her mother was unusually quiet, which made her feel a little strange.

She wiped away her tears, looked up, and asked with a puzzled expression:

"Mom, what's wrong? Why are you suddenly not saying anything?" This isn't like my mom at all.

In the past, once she found out that everyone was safe and sound, her mother would definitely have given her father a good scolding and wouldn't have given up until she won the argument.

Why is Mom acting so strangely today?

"It all happened so suddenly. Your mother is still caught up in the emotions of our family's time travel and hasn't recovered yet. We need to give her some time to process it."

After all, the three of us were in the car one second, and the next we were in this strange world. If my whole family hadn't been with me, we probably would have been scared to death.

The middle-aged man quickly spoke up to smooth things over for his wife.

After listening, Wu Liangxin nodded in agreement.

She didn't doubt that the couple in front of her weren't her biological parents, since they could accurately call her by her name. If it were the original owner of this body, how would she know these things?

Thinking of this, Wu Liangxin's peripheral vision fell on the small house next to the original owner.

Using the remaining memories in her body, she was about to speak when a clear electronic voice suddenly rang in her mind:

[Ding! The Ascetic System has been successfully activated. Do you wish to confirm the binding?]

Wu Liangxin's pupils suddenly contracted, followed by an indescribable surge of joy.

It's the system!

Isn't this the essential cheat code for any time traveler?

At that moment, Wu Liangxin had no time to talk to her parents; she lowered her head and began to communicate with the system in her mind.

The couple, left standing to the side, saw her like this, and the smiles that had finally appeared on their faces gradually disappeared, replaced by identical hatred and pain.

According to the couple, their family of four had simply enjoyed a rare good meal the night before, only to be poisoned and faint from eating exotic animal meat.

Perhaps because the couple were physically stronger, those so-called "time travelers" were expelled as soon as they entered their bodies.

From the remaining memories of the other party, they learned that these strange people were a family of three from another world, including the missing Wu couple and their daughter.

Just as Shao's parents finished checking on their condition, they were about to go see their daughter inside when they saw her rushing out of the house, speaking in a place name they had never heard of before.

At that moment, the couple felt as if the sky was about to fall.

If Shao's father hadn't been worried that these "time travelers" had other tricks up their sleeves and hadn't intended to feign compliance for the time being, he probably would have already rushed up and torn them to pieces to avenge his daughter.

Inside the hall, the couple remained silent, their eyes gradually reddening.

Looking at her absent-minded "daughter" in front of her, and then thinking of her son in the house, Shao's mother was afraid that something had happened to the child, and was just thinking of finding an excuse to go and check on him.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she took a step, her "daughter" clapped excitedly, then grabbed the couple's arms and whispered:

"Mom and Dad, I've got a cheat code! From now on, we can walk sideways in this world!"

As Wu Liangxin spoke, without caring whether the couple understood, she eagerly raised her right hand and grabbed at the air. Instantly, a small porcelain white dish appeared in her previously empty palm.

In a small dish, about the size of a palm, lies a black seed the size of a fingernail.

Upon seeing this, Shao's parents were jolted and instinctively wanted to back away, but they restrained themselves and kept their eyes fixed on their "daughter" opposite them.

Suppressing his fear, Shao's father stepped forward, shielding his wife behind him, and feigned curiosity, asking:

"Liang, Liangxin, where did you get this thing from? How did it just appear out of thin air?"

What was that "golden finger" you just mentioned? Could it be a type of superpower?

"Hmph, my cheat ability is much more powerful than any superpower."

Wu Liangxin proudly raised her head, then raised her palm slightly and said:

"System, you know, right? This seed was given to me by it."

"As long as I parasitize the seed on a living person, watering it with the suffering of the parasitized, I can continuously exchange it for all sorts of benefits, such as food, crystal cores, and even superpowers—anything is possible."

"Wow, you can really exchange anything?"

Excitement and desire instantly ignited in the couple's eyes, and they quickly began to plan how to seize this "system" for themselves and get rid of the imposter in front of them.

But the next second, they heard the other person nod in affirmation:

"Of course, but... the only requirement is that the person being parasitized must be related to me by blood."

As Wu Liangxin spoke, her gaze greedily drifted to a small house that remained completely still, and she said in a low voice:

"I was originally planning to send that kid to reunite with his family, but now it seems that he still has some value to be used."

As soon as she finished speaking, the couple, who were still in a state of excitement, seemed to have been doused with a bucket of cold water, and their pupils instantly contracted slightly.

Seeing this imposter about to head towards her son's room, Mrs. Shao's heart tightened, and she hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, interjecting:

"Daughter... daughter, is this stuff reliable? Tell your mother how exactly to use these seeds."

Caught off guard by Shao's mother's blockade, Wu Liang stumbled, nearly spilling the seeds from the small dish. Startled, she gasped and said angrily:

"Mom, why are you making such a fuss? What if this thing hits us?"

Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in the eyes of both the couple present.
