Milky white light spread down from the top of her head, and a woman with long black hair suddenly appeared in the empty bathroom.
[We failed again. ] Accompanied by the sound of water flowing, the glass ball glowing with colorful arcs under the light said in frustration.
After a period of silence, the water in the pool swirled and flowed into the underground pipes. Lin Xiyue took a tissue from the side and slowly wiped her fingers and said quietly: "It's not us, it's you."
The sound of plaintive crying that only she could hear sounded in the bathroom. She still looked cold, as if she was not afraid at all of her sudden appearance in a strange place.
The glass ball floating in the air suddenly sprouted thin limbs and hugged a strand of black hair hanging on her chest, [Woooooooo, that last time was just an accident, Qiyue! You are really the only one who can help me now! 】
Lin Xiyue was indifferent to the familiarity of this strange creature who called himself the system. She threw the tissue in her hand into the trash can, opened the door and walked out.
This is a large shopping mall, and the monitors on the wall are showing various brands endorsed by unknown celebrities that she has never seen in the past, as well as a point in time that she would never be able to live with her status.
【April Fool's Day, April 1, 4323 in the New Calendar】
In other words, there is no such thing as a new calendar in her world, right?
Only then did she have the real feeling that she had traveled through time...or that she had come to a world evolved from books.
Maybe this is the curse of grabbing the naughty bubble machine that day.
The moment she pressed the button of the bubble machine, she was flooded with colorful bubbles. Before she could react, she was standing on the bridge, watching the figure of someone jumping from the tall building opposite. Down.
Although they were extremely far apart, she happened to see clearly the joyful eyes of this person as he glanced over.
Then the sky hung upside down and the stars rotated.
Once again she stood in a strange place.
Lin Xiyue glanced at the glass ball coming up next to her, and temporarily resisted her urge to drop it on the ground to see if it could break.
The glass ball was completely unaware of Lin Qiyue's dislike, and was still floating aside, dancing and chattering, [The node last time is no longer available. This time I moved the time forward for a while. I have checked it. Recently, the heroine The company is recruiting interns. As long as we enter her company, we will definitely find that she is always dead...】
"Why? Are there any dire consequences if I don't follow your request?" Lin Xiyue leaned on the railing and looked at the bustling crowd downstairs.
The glass ball paused for a moment, then flew around the black-haired woman, saying loudly: [World, this world is going to be destroyed! 】
[Including the time just now, I have restarted this world forty-four times. If this continues, as long as we cannot solve the cause of the death of the protagonist, everything here will fall apart like glass falling to the ground! 】
Lin Xiyue's eyes darkened, and she lowered her tone and said coaxingly: "So the protagonist is so important?"
The glass ball sighed and replied: [Originally it is not that important. The title of the protagonist is just to facilitate your understanding, but this world is different. 】
It floated up, shining like glass under the light. [The moment the protagonist dies for various reasons, the world will decline at a speed visible to the naked eye. I observed it for a long time before I got it. An answer. 】
[The protagonist dies and the world comes to a standstill. 】
Lin Xiyue tilted her head, not wanting to pollute her eyes with the strange spectrum, and then asked casually: "Then what will happen to us after the world is truly destroyed?"
Bubbles sat on the railing and swayed his thin legs, and replied stupidly: "You will go home, as for me... I don't know, it didn't take long for me to become conscious." 】
[But it doesn’t matter, as long as I have you I’ll be able to do it! 】
[Let’s go to the protagonist’s company now——]
Lin Xiyue didn't know where the confidence in this system came from. Since the destruction of this world had no impact on her at all, then why would she go to the protagonist?
She stood up straight and walked in the opposite direction pointed by the system.
Just treat this accident as a trip. Lin Xiyue's expression remained the same. Only those familiar with her could see a little bit of excitement in her eyes.
And it’s time travel, which is not much more interesting than the tourist attractions she wanted to visit before.
On the crowded street, a black-haired woman in a trench coat nimbly avoided the woman who almost bumped into her. A clear voice said, "Be careful."
She looked at this girl. Many people have said that when she lowers her eyes and stares at someone seriously, she always makes people feel lingering.
They were a pair of beautiful eyes, different from the dark brown eyes of most people, which were a black-grey color wrapped in mist at night.
It reminds me of the crescent moon hanging in the sky on a cold winter day. If you approach it without protection, you will definitely be cut by this coldness.
A blush slowly appeared on the face of the girl she was supporting, "Yeah, yeah."
"I know-" The girl looked at the figure who had only his back and stamped his feet, and said to himself: "Oh, let's forget it."
"Actually, it's not impossible for me, right?"
"What can I do?" her friend asked as she came out holding two cups of milk tea.
She didn't speak, but watched with some disappointment as this woman she could do disappeared into the sea of people.
Lin Xiyue felt that it was completely impossible.
Because she discovered a difficult problem about survival in human society.
The first crisis she fell into in this world was actually because she was a gangster.
That stupid system directly brought her true form to this world. Although the household registration system here is not as strict as her original world, having no identity means that she cannot do many things in this world.
[You have to help me, and,] the glass ball circled in front of Lin Xiyue's face, trying to block her walking route with himself, [and if I hadn't pulled you over in advance, you would have died in three hours. ! For the sake of me saving your life, you, you should——】
Lin Xiyue did not seem to be grateful at all for being saved by a certain creature, but calmly retorted: "I don't believe in a... system that kidnaps people without saying hello?"
"Why don't you send me back, and I can wait for the death date you said in three hours."
[Woooooooooooooh——] The glass ball was startled for a moment, and then ran away crying.
Lin Xiyue sighed as the sights of the surrounding people swept over her, but she still chased after him.
After all, this is a strange world. Although this system is stupid, it at least knows a lot more information than her, a visitor from another world.
She had just left the spot when someone started chatting with each other behind her.
"Actually, I was quite nervous just now..."
"I didn't expect such a good-looking person to have such a brain..." Someone covered his mouth and whispered to a friend next to him: "Do you want to call the police?"
"It's better not to... I'm just talking to myself, it's not a big deal."
Lin Xiyue had no idea what her conversation with the glass ball would look like in the eyes of others. She just found the gray ball that had lost its colorful light in a hidden corner.
"You said before that you would go to the protagonist's company for an internship...so that means you can forge documents, right?" She sighed.
The spring equinox has passed, and the weather is gradually getting warmer. The wind with a light floral fragrance comes in from the half-open window, blowing the bound papers on the wall.
"Guest, your meal is ready. I wish you a pleasant meal." Lin Xiyue's long hair had already been tied into a ponytail, revealing her slender and lustrous neck. This system lived up to its reputation as a waste. The ID card prepared for her was actually changed manually by sneaking to the household registration management system in the middle of the night.
But as long as no one goes out of their way to check, there's probably no big problem for the time being.
But now she doesn’t even have a guarantee for her basic life, so——
As soon as the guests left, she looked at the glass ball that was still chattering aside and introducing the plot of the protagonist, "You can't give me a sum of money?"
Before this self-proclaimed system could speak, but it looked like a creature that had escaped from some fantasy world, she continued to sigh in a tone that looked very fake: "Without money, how can we save this beauty?" ”
The glass ball floated over and said in a suspicious tone, [Are you willing to help? 】
Lin Xiyue tried her best to make a sincere expression. Even if her expression seemed unchanged to others, it was still enough to fool the culprit who brought her here.
"Of course." She paused and turned to the direction she needed. "After all, if I had been so poor, I would have starved to death before I could meet the protagonist."
"And didn't you say that the protagonist will soon be betrayed by his partners and that the newly developed important project will be leaked to competitors?" She began to lie, "If I had money, maybe I could help."
The glass ball flew around her, [You are right! Wait for me, I'll be back with the money right away! 】
After saying that, it turned into a stream of light and rushed out the door and disappeared.
Lin Xiyue looked at its back and couldn't help but sigh, "It's so easy to cheat."
However, judging from the operation of this system last night, where will the money it talks about come from...
But before she could think of a reason, several customers poured into the coffee shop.
She was busy ordering, putting the matter behind her for the moment.
Soon, the setting sun cast its afterglow, the lights on the tall buildings turned off one by one and then on again, and the wind blowing in from the window also brought a hint of coolness at night.
Lin Xiyue handed over the work to her subsequent colleagues and walked alone on the street with her daily salary,
"It seems that I can only find a place to deal with it tonight."
The red light ahead began to count down, and the night wind blew by, blowing her black hair behind her ears, and she staggered onto the zebra crossing.
Deng Deng Deng——
The sound of someone running behind her reached her ears, and she gave way slightly to one side, just in time to avoid the woman's hand that suddenly stretched out to grab her.
The green trees planted on both sides of the street rustled in the wind, dissipating the remaining heat of the day.
The waning moon hanging on the treetops still looked cold and cold.
Lin Xiyue turned around and looked at her with lowered eyes.
"What's your name?" The woman who wanted to grab her wrist suddenly took a deep breath, and took a step back as if she was afraid of being scared. She said with complicated eyes: "I'm sorry, I just... think you are very... Like someone I know.”
The woman who wanted to hold her had long eyelashes, her complexion was somewhat pale, and even her well-shaped lips were light pink.
It was clear that her eyes were very sharp just now, but they softened the moment she looked over.
She suddenly took a step back and hid under the shadow of a tree that was not illuminated by the street lights. Lin Xiyue could only see the white earlobes in her black hair and her amber eyes.
The red light ahead ran for the last second, and the vehicles on the road passed by quickly. Apart from the trees and the crescent moon, the two of them were the only ones left here.
"What's the matter with you?" Lin Xiyue was a little surprised and looked behind her, suspecting that this was some kind of signal for help.
The woman was suddenly startled, nodded blankly, then shook her head suddenly, and said in an erratic tone: "...My name is Jiang Sui."
"Excuse me, are you talking to me?" Her voice sounded like she was searching for something, "You were asking me just now..."
"Mr. Jiang! What happened?!" the visitor asked, breathing heavily.
God knows how flustered he was when his employer suddenly demanded to get out of the car in traffic while driving.
It seems that someone who knows her is here.
Lin Xiyue nodded towards this strange woman, "Goodbye."
Jiang Sui stood there and looked at her back. He hesitated for a moment, but had no choice to follow her.
The wind blows the leaves that have fallen to the ground.
She looked down at her long and slender left hand, and suddenly asked in her heart, did I feel the temperature of my skin just now?
No one answered, and the world remained silent as usual.
(End of chapter)
The author said: Babies can take a look at my advance receipt:
"After death, he became the stand-in for the movie queen's ex-girlfriend"
Xie Zhiyu and Nan Chu have been in love for nearly six years since they were childhood sweethearts.
As a result, he accidentally died in the end while discovering Nan Chu's cheating and going to question her.
But as soon as she opened and closed her eyes, Xie Zhiyu found herself reborn and became a twenty-eight-tier actress with the same name as her in the entertainment industry.
Ten years have passed since the year she died.
Nanchu has grown from an inconspicuous little star to a popular movie queen now. Her face is still as beautiful as a flower, but every frown and smile can still bring her deep pain.
But when she looked at Nan Chu's face on the TV, she no longer had the intention to question him.
***
Ten years after Xie Zhiyu's death, Nan Chu seemed like nothing had happened and he was still working hard as usual.
But no matter how late she worked, she would still return to the apartment they had built together.
The clock has stopped turning, and the flowers and plants planted have long since withered and withered.
There were fewer and fewer traces of Xie Zhiyu, and one day she suddenly realized that she had even forgotten Xie Zhiyu's face.
But she didn't know until the day they met.
Nan Chu will never forget Xie Zhiyu.
Xie Zhiyu was still the same as he had been many years ago, but he passed her and ran towards another woman with a smile.
***
Xie Zhiyu, who was still twenty-five years old, couldn't understand the current Nan Chu.
She looked at this woman looking at her again as if she had been abandoned, and couldn't help but said: "Miss Nanchu, I will not be a substitute."
