Book 5: Chapter 10: Scapegoat System
“I don’t know. I initially thought I re:lived. This is my first time hearing that the world had reset. System 2333, get out here!” The moment Luo Li spoke, Chen Heng knew she had double standards. He kept feeling she was not very nice to this system.
However, Chen Heng did not care. It was not his system, after all. For all he knew, this system might enjoy being treated like this.
“I’m here.” The system immediately appeared after Luo Li summoned it.
“Since the world reset, why didn’t you tell me?” Luo Li believed what Chen Heng’s ancestor had said. After all, he was a transcender.
Although Luo Li did not fully grasp the concept of a transcender, she had a rough idea based on her system’s attitude towards the Chen Clan ancestor.
Had Luo Li known this was a world reset, she would have come looking for Chen Heng long ago. Thus, it was all the system’s fault. If the system did not give her a perfect explanation, she did not mind teaching it another lesson.
“Honestly, I refuse the bear the blame for this. Every time I wanted to tell you about it, you would interrupt me. Every time I raised it, you refused to listen. All you do is call for Elder Brother Heng this, Elder Brother Heng that every time. How can you blame me? Just think about how many times you have interrupted me.” The more System 2333 spoke, the more aggrieved it felt. Even Chen Heng looked at it with pity.
This system…feels quite beaten down for some reason.
“Cough! Cough! Elder Brother Heng, something went wrong with the system, so I did not notice.” Luo Li answered Chen Heng’s question seriously.
What a girl! If Chen Heng had not heard what the system said, he would have thought it was true.
“By the way, Elder Brother Heng, how did you know about the future?”
“Ah! Speaking of that, it is thanks to the woman wearing a kimono standing beside my ancestor earlier. If you checked with Mo Qingtong, you should know she is my younger sister in name who suddenly appeared. Based on earlier, her world consciousness must have wanted to come out for a break, so it used her body to come to this world. When that occurred, she happened to give me an ability called Absolute Precognition. However, based on the current situation, something went wrong with the Precognition, so the future I saw was incomplete.”
Initially, Chen Heng wanted to tell Luo Li the truth, that he had not experienced the future and only seen it through the Absolute Precognition, which allowed him to know of those experiences.
That explanation was based on Luo Li and Mo Qingtong being re:livers. What else could Chen Heng say in this situation?
“Is that so?” Luo Li nodded while deep in thought.
“It’s always like this…it’s always like this…every time something goes wrong, you blame me. You never reflect on yourself. Who is the one who does not listen to my explanation…” Since the system came out, it had been complaining, venting all its past grievances.
“…Sorry.”
“I forgive you. Just don’t do that again.” System 2333 quickly forgave Luo Li upon hearing her apology. It looked more like the system was apologizing instead.
That’s it? Just an apology, and the system forgave her? That’s too humble of it.
However, Chen Heng was in no position to get involved with how a host interacted with their system. Instead, he turned his head to look at Sirin and Jeanne d’Arc.
“Sirin, did you miss me?” Chen Heng spread his arms out to Sirin.
“Yes! I missed you a lot.” Sirin cooperatively ran into Chen Heng’s embrace.
“Then Jeanne d’Arc, what about you?” Chen Heng asked while hugging Sirin.
“Yes, yes. I miss you. I missed you a lot. I missed you to death.”
How half-hearted. Can you not answer while playing games? That lacks sincerity, alright?
“That’s right. Little Li, Qingtong and you joined an organization called the Re:Life Chat Group, right? Qingtong probably brought her family to another world to seek refuge. If it is convenient, can you call her back? After all, the danger has passed.”
Chen Heng recalled Luo Li mentioning Mo Qingtong left this world with her family. Now that the danger had passed, they should inform her.
Chen Heng felt that if he did not tell Luo Li, she might not tell Mo Qingtong the truth. Even if Mo Qingtong asked Luo Li about it, Luo Li might just brush Mo Qingtong off.
“It’s not convenient.”
“…” Alright, Chen Heng knew Luo Li did not get along with Mo Qingtong. However, he had not expected her to not even put on a pretense. She clearly did not want Mo Qingtong to return.
“Got it, got it. I’ll inform Mo Qingtong after some time.” Luo Li gave in after Chen Heng stared at her for a while.
After some time…alright. Chen Heng did not dwell on the topic of how long “after some time” was. Getting Luo Li to inform Mo Qingtong was already her giving Chen Heng face.
“Alright. Since I have already dealt with the world consciousness’s matter, I have to make a report.” Reporting was actually secondary. The most important part was the reward; he had to give a reminder.
Customer Service! Customer Service, are you there?
You are finally willing to reply. How did it go?
Not very well. The world consciousness died. However, my ancestor created another world consciousness. As for what my ancestor is doing now…he is probably going to the Multidimensional World Consciousness Conference.
He created another world consciousness? It sounds like your ancestor’s style. Never mind, never mind. As long as it did not result in a transcender war or the destruction of a world, it is acceptable.
Then about my reward…
Don’t worry. I absolutely won’t let you take a loss. I don’t want your ancestor to come to have a chat with me. Your 1,000,000 points and 10 invitations will arrive seven days later. Just wait patiently.
OK.
This was Chen Heng’s first time hearing a subservient tone in Customer Service’s words.
You used to answer me half-heartedly. Now you want us to stand equally? This is getting interesting.
However, the one Customer Service fears is not me but my ancestor.
He Who Knows Fate: Alright, alright. The matter is dealt with.
17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: Too bad you could not livestream it. That is a transcender.
He Who Knows Fate: You still want to watch the livestream? In any case, I feel my ancestor would probably notice others watching him. After all, he could beat up a world consciousness with one hand. If he knew his descendant was livestreaming him for others to watch, you might not see me again.
17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: …
Queen of Ice and Snow: Since we cannot watch a livestream, can you leak some information to us? Like information about transcenders, the Purple Firmament Palace, or whatnot. I feel very curious.
