Chapter 212 The First World (2)
Chapter 212 The First World (2)
When Yao Xiaoxiao opened her eyes, she was back in this world at the age of 15, the day Lin Xiaoxiao and Lin Yunxiao first met.
Sitting on the bus home from school, I closed my eyes and pondered my plan.
The driver slowly drove to her doorstep. She got out of the car as usual, walked in, looked at the people sitting on the sofa, paused for a moment, and went over to greet them.
As if following procedure, Lin's father introduced this uninvited guest to their home, at which point she should have been furious.
After all, two more people suddenly appeared in the family for no reason—a mother and a brother. Her mother was dead and had never had a second child.
But she didn't. She calmly nodded and greeted him, and seeing Lin Yunxiao's somewhat strange expression, she became more certain of her guess.
Ignoring everyone else, she got up and went upstairs to her room.
Almost everyone in the family could tell that she was unhappy and in a bad mood; she didn't even go downstairs for dinner.
When there was a knock on her door that evening, she got up and opened it. She looked at Lin Yunxiao outside the door, paused for a moment, and waited for him to continue.
Lin Yunxiao's eyes were slightly red, and he tentatively asked, "Xiaoxiao?"
"Hmm." She was indeed waiting to see if the dog she had painstakingly trained was still obedient and well-behaved.
The result, of course, did not disappoint her.
She let him in and saw the person crying uncontrollably. Yao Xiaoxiao frowned and pondered. So it wasn't that she was being paranoid; this NPC, Lin Yunxiao, really did have a problem.
She sensed something was off during her first playthrough, but she didn't know where the strange feeling came from.
After he had cried enough, Yao Xiaoxiao remained silent, waiting for him to tell her everything.
Lin Yunxiao recounted in detail that he did indeed have memories of each time. Each time, he returned to the first day they met when the female lead died. Each time it was Lin Xiaoxiao, but he knew that it was not the same person each time. Memories can be blurred and implanted, but feelings cannot.
Until the 444th time, the 444th Lin Xiaoxiao broke all of this.
Originally, he could only be manipulated to follow fixed responses, but when the 444th Lin Xiaoxiao said a different line than the other Lin Xiaoxiaos, from that moment on, she broke free from the seemingly predetermined framework, and he followed suit and broke free from the restrictions.
This was the 445th time. He was afraid it wasn't her, not the Xiaoxiao he would risk his life to save, but thankfully it was her, she had returned.
Yao Xiaoxiao listened to his story, lowered her eyes in thought, and after a long while asked, "How did you kill them?"
He did indeed omit some things he didn't want to say, but she wasn't stupid; she was just curious. As he said, he was bound to follow the existing procedures, so how could he act to kill the mission takers ahead of him?
Lin Yunxiao was stunned when he heard this. Of course, he knew who they were referring to.
After much hesitation, he suppressed the urge to explain and, as if he had done something wrong, meekly said:
"It was... by accident, all accidents."
Yao Xiaoxiao looked directly at him, "Brother, no one knows you better than me. Don't let me down, okay?"
Under her gaze, Lin Yunxiao blushed, lowered his head, and admitted his mistake.
"Although I may not be able to kill them, you know, there are many coincidences in this world, and a little casual, unintentional act may sow the seeds of a big problem."
He didn't actually do it himself, nor was he capable of doing it himself, but by simply planting some small hidden dangers and accidents in the daily routine where he couldn't escape the rules, there was always a chance that it would lead to someone's death.
So he wasn't wrong. Their deaths were indeed accidents, a sudden situation with an extremely low probability that anyone might encounter, and there was no trace of human intervention.
Yao Xiaoxiao understood; this wasn't an important matter.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Lin Yunxiao carefully explained, "They bullied me."
Indeed, in the beginning of the story, the female lead did target him in many ways, so Lin Yunxiao did not know that the future would be one where they would have a happy ending, and he would get everything and marry Lin Xiaoxiao.
This is roughly the disadvantage of the manipulated party.
Yao Xiaoxiao was busy researching the new world and didn't have time to follow the plot. After dealing with the NPC Lin Yunxiao, she flipped through the plot and pondered.
The notebook is almost worn out, but I can't find any clues.
Based on her observations, without exception, people from other worlds who didn't belong to the novel's world were all around the male protagonist, and they were either helpful to him or had a good relationship with him. They were definitely not his adversaries, which narrowed down her investigation scope by half.
She was serious, her mind was practically exploding with V09, she was completely dazed.
What? What is all this? How can a two-dimensional character like the male lead have memories? His previous 443 employees were killed by him?
V09 is depressed, the kind that can't be comforted.
Yao Xiaoxiao returned to this world, and she didn't have to walk the same path again. Looking at the information Lin Yunxiao had collected, she instructed V09 to keep an eye on these people.
Within a year, she tested almost everyone, but none of them were right.
It's strange, as if that special person doesn't exist in this world at all.
Once again, after calming down and thinking it over, according to V09, there is one last world besides this one, in which she can revive Lin Nian. This is different from the promise of 100,000 points made in the past, which also means that the person behind it is about to achieve their goal.
Looking at Lin Yunxiao, who had once again brought her a stack of new documents, Yao Xiaoxiao lowered her eyes and said:
"You won't need to do that anymore."
Finding a needle in a haystack is not an option. There is another way. Yao Xiaoxiao smiled, a hint of madness in her eyes.
She then devoted all her time to learning new things. Traveling through so many worlds, she secretly learned about various new fields and knowledge in addition to her acting roles.
Since she got busy, Shi Chuan and Lin Yunxiao haven't seen her much.
As time once again progressed to the point of nearing the finale, the world changed this time. Looking at the world that had fallen into desolation and death under her control, Yao Xiaoxiao remained unmoved.
"Found it!" V09 exclaimed excitedly.
Following his directions, Yao Xiaoxiao found the special person. He was the only one who hadn't mutated like everyone else, which made him truly special. He was lying in a hospital bed, in a vegetative state? No wonder she couldn't find him.
Humans have all mutated, and other people in a vegetative state have also mutated and become lively and energetic, but he's just lying there. Is that reasonable?
Sure enough, my wrist felt slightly hot when I got close.
V09 looked miserable. "Xiaoxiao, now you and the male lead are the only normal humans left in the whole world. What about the mission?"
Yao Xiaoxiao smiled silently, looked at Lin Yunxiao who had come with her, and gently patted him.
"Brother, shall we start over?"
His words were pleading and inquiring, yet his hand plunged a sharp blade straight into her heart without hesitation.
Seeing that he was docile and obedient, she tenderly covered his wound, saying, "Don't be afraid, it will be over soon."
As Lin Yunxiao's life force weakened, the world before Yao Xiaoxiao's eyes began to shatter, just as it had for the first time.
"Warning! Warning! The male protagonist is dead. Mission taker number 444 has failed! Enter the punishment room!"
