Chapter 1: Guess what he was thinking.
Xu You died on a sunny and windy day.
That day she took advantage of her free time to go up the mountain to enjoy the flowers, and was killed by a sudden fall of a huge rock.
Before she had time to regret it, her soul drifted through dark, narrow tunnels to a cloudy cliff filled with white flowers.
It was a place she had never seen before, didn't have a single memory of it, but somehow felt familiar, as if she was supposed to have grown up here.
And then she kept floating upwards to no man's land.
In a blank scene ...... Can't say it's empty, because there's a matchmaker there?
That's why it's said that when people die they don't turn into stars, they don't go to heaven and hell, and they don't meet the gods and goddesses, they only meet a ...... Matchmaker.
It has a black head and black face, and the wood body is so roughly made that when you look closely you can see shreds of wood shavings on it.
"Hello, Fast Wear Trainee Xu You ," Matchmaker spoke in a businesslike manner, "I'm System Seven-Eight bound to you."
Xu You proves from personal experience that death is not necessarily the end of the road, but most likely some kind of corner point.
She smoothly picked up the conversation, "Say seven, not eight, and civilize you and me."
System: "......."
The two stare at each other for a moment, and Xu You waves his hand, "You continue."
"There are countless parallel worlds in the time and space you can't see, and some of them are misplaced due to some strong obsession, turning people who were originally set to be decent heroes into murderous villains, and all you have to do is to warm them up, gain their trust, and then cut them down to size."
Xu You sat down cross-legged with a calm face, "You mean to get rid of them, so wouldn't it be fine for your system to just finish them off?"
The system said: "According to their original setting is a protagonist halo, in their world, they are God, even if they become a villain, the protagonist halo still exists, so you need to host the identity of that world to infiltrate, and when you reach the point of opportunity to take action."
Xu You held his chin up and parsed, "So there's a million computers in the world, and there's always a few with viruses, so you have to send something to kill them?"
"You ..... It's okay if you interpret it that way." The look on Matchmaker's black face was a little forced.
Xu You gave an oh-so-careless sigh.
Seeing that she didn't take it seriously at all, nor did she give this any importance, treating it as if she were treating an advertisement paper she had swept up and seen on a street corner, the system couldn't help but say, "Couldn't you have acted a little more afraid, the mission object doesn't talk to you about three views and reason."
"Heaven forbid," Xu You said languidly, "if it doesn't pain my heart and mind and strain my sinews and bones, it would be better if I could take care of my health, and don't expect too much of the rest."
There is a complete lack of pursuit and accountability in the mold.
"......" The system held back and steadied its expression, "Do you have anything else to say, no we'll get going."
Xu You glanced at it and slowly ahhed, "This system of yours looks so cheap, can't you do a 50 cent special effect or build a mold?"
"......." The system obviously didn't want to pay any attention to her question, and simply stood upside down and drew a circle around Xu You with its brain, scratching out a rustling sound and bubbling up some Mars.
The match caps leave black circles on the blank ground, and in a flash a pillar of fire rushes out, encompassing Xu You.
Although there is no pain from the fire, Xu You feels like a potato that has been thrown into a gas oven.
"Wait, for real?" It took a distortion in space and time for Xu You to realize that the poorly made matchmaker wasn't fooling her.
A world line that had appeared in her head gradually became clearer.
The world she is about to go to is a more modern and diversified world, this world has experienced the post-apocalyptic period before, when the zombies were infested, and the zombie king who appeared afterward was the only zombie with human consciousness, he manipulated the zombies to bring about the extinction of human beings, and in the end, it is still the human beings who have the light of science that have won the victory, and after the destruction of the zombies, the human beings re-establish the homeland after the hundred and one years of destruction.
However, after only fifty years, some people had a crooked idea, after seeing the zombie king manipulating the zombie army, some people were incredibly impressed, wildly fantasizing about being able to manipulate puppets that would never rebel, so they wanted to develop an equivalent replacement for the zombie king - the puppet king.
They set up an underground laboratory to conceal the fact that they were in the middle of the world, pulling together a group of science fanatics to use the preserved remains of the zombie king for experiments, and after tens of thousands of failures, Min Duan, the puppet king, was born.
They had always thought that the things they had created should follow their orders, and that as long as they manipulated the puppet king, then it would be the same as having an army of puppets, but none of them had expected that the things made by the ice-cold instruments had no human emotions, yet they had their own consciousness from the very beginning.
Min Duan turns the people who made him into puppets and then manipulates them into committing suicide. He is so disgusted with crowds that he simply goes into hiding and lives in a house where people who come to rent a room become the subjects of his experiments.
In that world, there was a cannon fodder named Xu You, who lived in Min Duan's building and was dissected alive by him and died.
The heroine is Xu You's cousin Qi You, who is the only light in Min Duan's life. People in the darkness always tend to be in the light, and Min Duan naturally falls madly in love with Qi You, but he has always felt that he is a monster, so he chooses to keep his love deep in his heart.
Qi You falls in love with a man named Shaosi Xu, who has an affair with her and is discovered by his fiancée, Lanlan Lin, who becomes jealous and sets up the destruction of the You family, and Qi You's child is aborted, and finally commits suicide in despair.
The death of Min Duan's beloved one due to hatred caused his hatred for human beings to rise like never before, and he created an army of puppets to fight with human beings, which resulted in the destruction of lives and corpses, and human civilization retreated for hundreds of years, and he died due to exhaustion.
After reading the world line, Xu You fell silent, just one paragraph was enough to send hair on her back and make her scalp explode.
She even imagined herself lying on a cold test bed, watching her skin and flesh being cut away by a scalpel, filled with despair and pain.
The protagonist halo she kind of understands what it means, but turning into a villain and still having a protagonist halo, what kind of bug is this, still letting people live?
Xu You both hands and feet grasped the edge of the light doorway, the whole person stuck in the light doorway did not move: "Wait a minute, what kind of world is this, and puppet master this kind of operation, don't you think it's very perverted ......."
"I don't think," the system interrupted her, a smile cracking on his dark face, "and I don't want you to think either."
"Wait a bit more, I'm new, can the quest objective be a whole normal person first, do I not deserve a newbie quest or what ......"
Before the words left her mouth, the system did a direct roundhouse kick and disliked her.
Xu You: "......"
The white light disappeared and the body immediately felt solid.
She was standing in front of a dark iron door, her finger was pressing on the doorbell, and in her ears was the ringing doorbell.
Xu You bashful for a moment, received a little bit of the previous plot, the original body just moved to this building today, she went out to eat back, extremely enthusiastic and active to find the landlord, want to say hello, polite acquaintance two, and then came to this black iron door, pressed the doorbell.
Normal moves, normal behavior, and normal things, the only thing that's not normal is the fact that the original body has no idea that his landlord is a villainous Big Boss, or a bigot who can dismember people at the drop of a hat.
The more the cannon fodder has to do, the more likely it is to die early, and the original body is quietly nestled in the house, and still not two clicks away from the guillotine?
No wonder she hadn't even received many memories of her original body, since it had been disposed of at light speed.
Xu You immediately drew back his hand, quickly turned around, wanting to quickly withdraw from the battlefield, and in his heart he said 18,000 times Min Duan is not at home, Min Duan does not open the door, Min Duan did not hear.
As a result, she had just turned her body halfway when she heard a "click-" and the door opened.
The slight sound was drawn out by the wind in the corridor, long, long, like a hypnotic tune from hell.
Xu You's scalp tingled, his neck stiffened, and his eyes looked over in despair.
The person who came out was wearing a black long-sleeved sweatshirt and slacks, a sweatshirt cap, and an extremely indifferent demeanor.
His skin looked like it had never seen daylight, cold and white to the core, his features were deep with nice smooth lines, brownish teal eyes and crimson lips.
Somewhat juvenile, yet extremely grim in temperament.
Xu You froze and stared at him for two seconds, and the system, with an eating face, said in her head, "Host, what's going on with your heart rate, it's a bit fast."
"Your system can still measure a person's heartbeat?"
"Of course, our system is fully functional."
"Fear and dread raise adrenaline," Xu You returns it, "You're Tinder, you don't understand."
System: "......"
Min Duan's eyes have an inward and outward hook, thin eyelids, and beautifully translucent tea-brown eyes.
Only those eyes narrowed slightly at her, cold and shadowy, like they were surveying some kind of test subject.
Xu You was sent chills down his spine by the look, gulped, and weakly asked the system, "Guess, what is he thinking right now?"
"My guess," the system said slowly, "is that he hates the scent of the living and is trying to figure out which part of you to dissect."
"............"
