Xu Shiyue had heard such words from the Lord God many times during the time he was blind in the hospital.
The Xu family took away the things her parents left for her and replaced them. Everyone pretended to be deaf and dumb, and used the word "exchange" to respect her as the owner. No one really cared about her thoughts.
Xu Shiyue knew that Lu Shizhen was not a "thing" and did not belong to anyone.
Because of this, she couldn't let anyone just take her away without saying goodbye, splitting her soul and body into two and ending up in a muddle.
Xu Shiyue just stared at the Lord God on the high platform, her eyes even colder than hers: "Since you think these two Lu Shizhen are the same, why do you still want to replace that Lu Shizhen into this Lu Shizhen's shell."
"Why else? Because it's fun, of course." The Lord God answered crisply, his voice full of mischief.
She was still sitting on the armrest of the chair, stroking Lu Shizhen's face, and said to Xu Shiyue confidently: "I made a bet with Lu Shizhen, betting on whether you would forget her."
The Lord God paused as he spoke, and a look of regret slowly emerged on his harmless smiling face, as if he was hiding an apology: "It's a pity that she lost, so she has to accept the defeat and give herself to me to become my toy."
The child's face was too innocent, and the flickering candlelight was full of confusion that was enough to confuse people.
But Xu Shiyue's eyes were cold, without the slightest wavering. She didn't believe what the man said, and bluntly said, "Taking something without asking is called stealing, and hiding it from others is called cheating."
The Lord God raised his eyebrows when he heard this, as if he understood, but the smile in his eyes became even more intense.
She leaned back in her chair cynically and clapped her hands, "As expected of a protagonist whose knowledge base far exceeds that of most worlds. She knows quite a lot."
Such flattering words would not please Xu Shiyue. She kept her expression unchanged and her voice was even colder than before: "But even so, I still can't understand why you are so interested in Lu Shizhen."
The Lord God seemed to be in a better mood because of Xu Shiyue's question. He tidied up Lu Shizhen's curly hair in an appreciative manner and said, "The reason why Lu Shizhen is a bug is because she is the only one who escaped the fate of the host being inevitably assimilated into an NPC program after the mission is completed."
When Xu Shiyue heard the Lord God's words, he was slightly stunned.
So is this the reason why even though I recognized Lu Shizhen, she kept rejecting me and even avoiding me
"I have only encountered such a unique soul once in my 30 million years of life. Why shouldn't I like it?"
As the Lord God spoke, he hooked his fingers into Lu Shizhen's hair.
But this strand of curly hair seemed a little disobedient and got stuck in her joints. The little girl's lively and innocent expression suddenly turned melancholy.
She frowned and talked to herself: "But I just don't understand why she has a special liking for you and why she won't stay with me."
"I want to collect her as my most precious collection and treat her well."
When Xu Shiyue heard the Lord God's words, his eyes froze for a moment.
She looked around at the dolls that were almost drowned by roses, and suddenly realized that these dolls were actually...
Souls from all worlds.
For 30 million years, she has been in this space that belongs only to her, avoiding the monitoring of the main system and collecting these interesting souls one by one.
Every toy here had been dressed up by her as carefully as she had dressed up Lu Shizhen, and then after getting the next more interesting collection, she would throw them away like trash.
What kind of god is this
If we follow her rules, people like her who destroy the operation of the world should have died long ago.
She is selfish, cruel and capricious, and her paranoid rules are all used to restrain others.
This is a completely self-centered lunatic, a bad seed produced by a one in a hundred billion error in the system.
"But how can there be no regrets in life?"
The sound of the Lord God's footsteps walking down the platform brought Xu Shiyue back to her senses. He spoke to her with arrogance and morbidity, condescendingly: "So you have to have talent too."
"But I can make your regrets less."
"Is there anything you like among these? I can put it in Lu Shizhen's shell for you."
As the Lord God spoke, he gave Xu Shiyue an exceptionally sincere and innocent smile.
The candlelight shone on her face, which looked tender, green and non-aggressive.
But the shadow projected on the wall was covered with rose thorns, hideously devouring the flickering candle on the wall.
She just handed the doll in her arms to Xu Shiyue and introduced it to her with interest: "This is one I particularly liked before. The protagonist in her mission world also went crazy for her. I spent a lot of effort to push that man back to the main storyline. He is now living with the original female protagonist, lovingly having a child, and is being admired by everyone in the world."
As the Lord God said this, he made two "tsk tsk" sounds, and the child's innocent face was full of contemptuous ridicule and disdain: "So-called love is nothing more than this."
Not only the dolls in these rooms are her toys, but everyone in the three thousand lives is one.
Every person is connected by invisible threads, and as the main god who observes all this from afar, she enjoys the feeling of controlling millions of people and events.
Even like to make some naughty adjustments for this...
The Lord God slowly recalled some of her proud masterpieces, and the distance between her and Xu Shiyue gradually narrowed.
The water drops on the tips of her hair fell to the ground with a plop. Xu Shiyue just watched the Lord God's intoxicated look and quietly jumped up to launch a sneak attack on the Lord God.
Her movements were so fast that it only took half a second.
The Lord's long hair brushed across her fingertips, data flashed, and then the little girl holding the doll returned to her podium.
The bright red skirt hung to the ground, and her long, smooth hair was not at all messy.
Xu Shiyue lightly clenched the hand that had just touched the man's hair, feeling a little annoyed, but the look in his eyes when he looked into the Lord God's eyes was extremely calm.
She noticed something.
In this seemingly peaceful picture, the left half of the main god's body, which was wrapped tightly in cloth, seemed to have unstable electric currents flashing.
The Lord God also keenly realized that his physical condition was exposed because of his previous actions.
The innocent look in her eyes suddenly turned cold, and her slender fingers lifted Lu Shizhen's chin: "So I said, you don't know how to discipline people at all, and your dog is really naughty."
The wind blew across the quiet surface of the swimming pool, rippling the water.
It also rippled the figures reflected side by side on the water.
“Tsk.”
The Lord God was somewhat dissatisfied with the sudden blurred angle, and waved his hand to raise the projected line of sight a little from the low angle at the same level as the pool.
The young girl's slender legs were casually placed on the armrests of the seat. After adjusting the angle, she watched the scene of Xu Shiyue and "Lu Shizhen" with great interest together with Lu Shizhen.
"It seems that someone is about to be convinced." The Lord God was very satisfied with the words of the counterfeit soul he had placed. After noticing that the main system was shaken, his smile gradually became more obvious. "Xu Shiyue will soon fall asleep in peace and forget about you."
Lu Shizhen just sat there in the square cube that imprisoned her, not saying a word.
Her crow-feather-like eyelashes drooped as if avoiding the fake one, yet seemed to inevitably fall into Xu Shiyue's hand that was holding the fake one.
"Why did you suddenly think of using Braille?" The fake Lu Shizhen had not yet realized that the storm had come, and his calm voice revealed ignorant calmness.
When the Lord God heard this, his face turned stern.
Almost at the same time, she raised her hand and cut off the projection in front of her.
The little girl suddenly lowered her head and saw that her hands were subconsciously clenched together.
Thirty million years was a long time filled with all kinds of emotions, and this emotion called fear was the first time in her fearless ruling career.
She couldn't quite believe the conclusion she had just made.
Xu Shiyue is just an ordinary human being. Even if he is a bug, he can't have such ability...
impossible.
The Lord God was still refusing to accept the judgment from her brain, and then he heard Lu Shizhen's lost voice coming from the cube: "Xu Shiyue really forgot about me."
Perhaps he urgently needed something to satisfy himself or suppress his uneasiness. The Lord God was very satisfied with Lu Shizhen's rapid loss of confidence. His face was full of smiles again: "Yes, who doesn't like peace without bloodshed? Even Xu Shiyue couldn't help being tempted by such conditions, not to mention that you said it."
"Then do you want to come out?" She looked at Lu Shizhen, who was kneeling in the cube and looked lost and decadent, and invited her, "Live here with me after you come out. No one here will betray you."
As if being persuaded, Lu Shizhen raised his head slightly and asked: "Then can you help me fix Qiuqiu? This way I can have someone to chat with, and maybe I won't want to go back so much."
"Qiuqiu." The Lord thought for a moment, "Is it your little system? I remember that rebellious little thing was quite interesting. Didn't the main system fix it for you?"
"Yeah." Lu Shizhen nodded, his eyes full of urgency, "So, can you fix it?"
"Of course." Seeing his victory in sight, the Lord God readily agreed to Lu Shizhen's request and boasted: "It's just some of the emotional particles I stripped into the system space. I can strip a little more and make a new one for you."
As the Lord God said this, he seemed to remember something interesting and laughed out loud.
His slender fingers rested on her temples, his slightly narrowed eyes filled with a playful smile: "It's interesting to talk about it, how come you are the only one who encounters those low-probability events?"
Lu Shizhen paused sharply with a look of blind urgency, and repeated: "All?"
"Yes, all." The Lord God nodded, his eyes full of smiles.
But she didn't continue to explain. She snapped her fingers, and the cube that trapped Lu Shizhen instantly disappeared.
“Ouch!”
Before the feeling of weightlessness had time to rush to Lu Shizhen's brain, the pain in her tailbone rushed along her spine to the top of her head.
Lu Shizhen was caught off guard and sat down on the ground.
She rubbed her buttocks and complained to the Lord God in pain: "I said, can you give me a sign? I am a human soul after all. What if I get broken?"
As she spoke, Lu Shizhen looked up at the Lord God in the distance. Her tone was no longer hostile and disgusted as it was at the beginning. Instead, she sounded a little bit like a spoiled child: "I say, Lord God, what's wrong with you? I'm in this state, and you don't even come to help me?"
The Lord God looked at Lu Shizhen's hand stretched out to her. She had never been ordered around by anyone in these years, so she pursed her lips in dissatisfaction.
But after a pause, he said "trouble" and then walked towards Lu Shizhen.
"Okay, get up quickly."
But as soon as she finished speaking, she felt someone pulling her wrist hard, and she was pulled over by Lu Shizhen without any defense.
It is neither the flattery of submission nor the ambiguity of flirting.
Lu Shizhen's palm clasped the Lord God's unhealed wound with incredible precision. The gauze penetrated the blood and fell directly onto the exposed electronic components.
Bugs are like bacteria, and the Lord God frowned in pain at the first second of contact.
She tried hard to break free from Lu Shizhen's restraints, but this man's hands held her tightly, almost grasping her bones.
It's like a one-sided crushing, and there will be no rejection of the attack.
But how is this possible
The blood is digesting the programs in the main god's body, and the rejection reaction of the electronic components is also desperately trying to eliminate this bug.
The pain was equally accumulated in Lu Shizhen's blood, but it was not as painful as the joy she felt in her heart at that moment.
The program's breakdown spread to the entire arm on the left side of the Lord God. Lu Shizhen just looked at her own achievements, and her vein-filled hand tightly grasped the Lord God who wanted to break free, and smiled in her ear: "If you find it troublesome, why come here again?"
When the Lord God heard Lu Shizhen's words, every syllable was eroded by uncontrollable pain.
She never expected that Lu Shizhen would cut her palm in order to control her.
So what she said just now was all lies to her.
Cheating her...
The Lord God was in great pain, his eyes wide open with anger rising like fire.
Without any mercy, anger mobilized her body which was shrouded in pain, and she instantly struck Lu Shizhen in the heart.
The empty pure white space was boundless. Lu Shizhen was stunned for a moment and rolled on the ground several times before stopping.
Only then did she realize that when things happen suddenly, people will really be stunned, and the first thing to wake up is the damn pain.
The rejection attack in the blood was buried in Lu Shizhen's body and rushing around, and the pain in her bones attacked her from all directions at the same time.
She clenched her hands tightly and habitually gritted her teeth in the face of pain, feeling that the Lord God's palm was about to shatter her soul.
Before she could recover, she heard the Lord God's angry voice: "Lu Shizhen, are you a dog? You bite people and won't let go!"
Lu Shizhen was lying on the ground, struggling to raise her head in the direction where the sound came from, and saw that most of the left side of the body of the Lord God had been destroyed by her. The electronic components glowing blue were exposed to the air, giving it a cyberpunk feel.
Thinking of this, Lu Shizhen laughed with a heavy breath, and there was a bit of boasting in his voice: "How did you know? That's what our October said to me."
The bright light filled her eyes, and there was no trace of hesitation in her eyes. They were dark and firm, like the brightest gemstone in the cave: "I tell you, Xu Shiyue will definitely come to find you. She has been looking for me for five years. You will never let her forget me."
It's too dazzling.
It's really dazzling.
The Lord God sat on her high platform, dragging her arm, which had completely lost its strength, and the trembling of her shoulder caused it to shake weakly.
She had never been so angry before, and no one had ever teased her like this before.
This toy is too disobedient. There is no way it can accompany her like this.
She had to make her toys completely obedient.
The Lord God just looked at Lu Shizhen, who was obediently letting him play with her, as if he was appreciating a work of art that he was particularly proud of. He curved his eyes with satisfaction and turned to look at Xu Shiyue who was standing in the sea of roses.
Now, someone wants to take away her toy collection.
She won't agree.
Moreover, if things continue to develop in this way, it seems that what her toy said will be confirmed.
So she lost the bet.
This is even more unacceptable!
The Lord God had a lot of paranoia in her eyes, but she forced herself to suppress the last bit of rationality and said to Xu Shiyue, the bug who could check and balance her: "Since you are not satisfied with this plan, let's talk about something else."
"I know you are more powerful than Lu Shizhen and can kill me more directly, and you came here to kill me. But if you kill me, Lu Shizhen's soul will be shattered by me and disappear in the three thousand worlds."
The Lord God casually let go of the bow ribbon on Lu Shizhen. She narrowed her eyes slightly, and her tone was light, but full of intimidation: "Don't even think about getting what I can't get."
As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere in the entire space instantly fell.
Xu Shiyue stared at the main god sitting on the high platform without saying a word, his sinister eyes swept across the rose bushes, as if he was restrained by this patch of thorns.
"So, instead of killing me and losing Lu Shizhen, why don't you cooperate with me?" The Lord God looked at Xu Shiyue's expression and proposed her idea. "I can promise you absolute control over the world you are in. You can live forever like me and stay with Lu Shizhen in your arms forever, or you can find a replacement."
As she said this, her tone slowed down a lot.
Her red lips touched each other lightly, and between the lines was her best coaxing: "Your life will be very long, and Lu Shizhen is not irreplaceable. You can do whatever you want."
"After all, being the chairman of the Xu Group is not your original ideal in life, right?" The Lord God said as he raised his eyes to Xu Shiyue, with a childish look that showed sincerity. "Didn't you also want to be a doctor?"
When Xu Shiyue heard the Lord God's words, his eyes suddenly froze.
The simple rhetorical question was like a key, suddenly reminding Xu Shiyue of this wish that she had forgotten for a long time.
Wanting to be a doctor was Xu Shiyue’s first plan for the future.
But she couldn't remember when the first one happened or what the opportunity was.
It seems to be for one person.
But, for whom
The dusty memories brought Xu Shiyue a sense of familiarity and flooded into her mind, but there was no node in her continuous and clear life where this memory could be inserted.
Xu Shiyue suddenly felt that a hole had suddenly appeared in his previously clear and continuous life, and it was so deep that he could not see the bottom.
And in this emptiness, there is something very important to her.
What's up…
Why she couldn't remember.
Why can't she remember
Xu Shiyue frowned slightly, her wet long hair sticking to her body, emitting a cool feeling.
She suddenly felt that perhaps she needed time to find the answer.
The wind blew across the candle, causing the flame to jump.
The rich fragrance of roses lingers silently in the space, with nowhere to rest.
Xu Shiyue picked up a rose in front of her and her eyes fell on the sleeping body in her arms.
The lips that were lightly pursed opened and closed again. After a long while, she seemed to have made a heavy decision and said to the Lord God: "Then I want the one next to you."
"That's right. Power is more reliable than any emotion." The Lord God was very satisfied with Xu Shiyue's choice and enthusiastically picked up the girl doll next to her. "This one is very obedient and also likes to draw. I think you will like it."
Hearing this, Xu Shiyue asked calmly: "So you want me to go up?"
"Okay." The Lord God nodded. Her body was seriously damaged and she was too lazy to move. "Then carry Lu Shizhen over here."
"Wait a moment." Xu Shiyue said, and picked up Lu Shizhen who was lying in the flowers.
The wet skirt passed heavily over the sea of roses, filled with the fragrance of flowers.
The soft soil wrapped around her bare feet, and the smell of blood blended into the soil.
"Leave it there. I will write our contract into her body, and that will be it."
The Lord God gave orders and asked Xu Shiyue to put Lu Shizhen's body on the ground.
She was very satisfied with her bloodless operation this time, with a dark and rich smile in her eyes, and even took the initiative to make way for Xu Shiyue: "This is still..."
But he hadn't finished his proud words, and the pride in his heart didn't last long.
The expression on the Lord God's face froze in an instant, and his round eyes widened.
The sound of electronic components collapsing could be heard in the empty world, subtle yet extremely clear.
The Lord God lowered his head slowly, seemingly unwilling to accept this fact.
But she still saw it out of the corner of her eye...
Xu Shiyue was holding a bunch of roses in her hand, and the sharp thorns cut her palms, leaving blood.
She was the same as Lu Shizhen, but more ruthless than her. She used her hand as a blade and stabbed it straight into the side of the Lord God's body that was damaged by Lu Shizhen.
The sudden wind shook the scene in the Lord's sight, and the scent of the rose was filled with blood.
It was like roses blooming on her chest.
Bright red and crawling with death.
The Lord God's eyes were filled with angry struggle, but all she could do was be angry.
The face she hated was too close, so close that it embedded itself into her body.
The smell of blood blended with the scent of roses, rich, brilliant, and filled with the chillness of death.
The sneering breath vibrated the air beside the Lord God's ear. Xu Shiyue turned her head slightly and smiled in her ear. Her deep voice was full of contempt and ridicule: "You can do the same thing twice. It's too easy for you, a God."
