001 couldn't bear it anymore.
It found a reason, almost escaping into the void—it could no longer stay in the small courtyard of the host, the scarlet blood on the ground glistened in the moonlight, as sharp as an arrow, and every time it looked at it, it felt like A dull, tearing pain.
The evening breeze is gentle, and the smell of blood mixed with the sweet and greasy aroma of peach blossom is almost suffocating.
001 stumbled and ran in the void.
It wanted to growl, to curse, to have a good fight with something.
But there is nothing in the void, and the endless darkness spreads farther than the line of sight, gloomy, like dark clouds that linger all year round, covering the sky, even if you try your best, you can't see the light of the sky again.
Xie Ziyou's painful eyes repeatedly appeared in 001's mind. In his imagination, the boy's clear eyes were gradually stained with blood, and the beautiful gold-like pupils accumulated sediment, and gradually transformed into the familiar eyes of 001, which belonged to other eyes he had seen before. The eyes of the villain.
Numbness, indifference, turning a blind eye to the misery in the world, because I have been rejected by the light countless times, so I no longer continue to hope for extravagance.
… No, it shouldn't be like this.
001 thought helplessly, that boy named Xie Ziyou, he is not suitable to be a villain, he deserves a better and happier life.
Kindness in this world must be rewarded.
Innocent people can also be guarded to grow up.
If every good person is destined to be hurt and assimilated by the ugliness of the world, he will eventually join the ranks of evil and become one he hates.
That would be a... what a sad world.
It was like a raging fire burning in 001's heart, gradually spreading into a monstrous sea of flames.
Can't go on like this.
It wanted to... do something for that teenager.
…
001 finds 025, tells the matter to 025, and asks for its opinion.
In 001's mind, 025 is a magical system. Although it looks foolish, it can always have some whimsical ideas, and is familiar with the loopholes in the system. Maybe there will be a way.
As it turns out, 025 is real... a fool.
Light spots danced around 001, laughing loudly: "Hahahahaha! I really didn't expect that there could be a more naive system than me in this world... Ah bah, I'm not naive, but you are so naive."
001 looked at the light spot laughing until he had epilepsy, and suddenly felt deep regret for his decision.
Damn it, what's wrong with me, I think 025 will have a solution
But 025 laughed for a while, wiped his face suddenly, and put on a serious expression.
"Brother, you are right to find me. I really have a way."
001 was suspicious: "Really?"
"It's more real than real gold." 025 nodded repeatedly.
But after only three seconds of seriousness, it grinned again and said with a smile: "Before that, I have to see what kind of little guy it is that can take your soul away... Tsk tsk tsk, I'm so curious, yes Which family's celestial being descended to the mortal world?"
"Don't talk nonsense, I don't like him, I just think... He's quite pitiful, not suitable to be a villain."
"Yo, explaining is just covering up." 025 teased, "I can't tell, you're quite innocent, aren't you?"
"... Is there anything you can do, don't tell me I'm leaving."
"Hey, don't worry. I told you that I want to see my sister-in-law first. You're praising him to the sky, why don't people see it?"
Saying that, the light spot flew into the sky and quickly escaped into the void.
001 was taken aback by the word "sister-in-law", and when he came back to his senses, 025 had disappeared without a trace, no matter how difficult it was to catch up.
It could only shake its head with a wry smile and wait silently in place.
Strange to say, the system obviously has no body, 001 stands still in the void, but feels hot all over for no reason.
If there are beautiful clouds rendering the heart, the breeze is gentle, and the birds are passing by, casting a warm seed.
…
025 returned shortly thereafter.
When it went away, it was carefree and loose, but when it came back, it flew very slowly, with heavy steps and complicated eyes.
001 was terrified by its weird eyes, couldn't help but stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong?"
"nothing."
025 shook his head, then fixedly looked at 001, as if he wanted to see it through from inside to outside.
001: "...?"
"Brother!" 025 flew forward and lowered his voice, but he couldn't suppress the excitement in his voice, "We are really destined to be brothers—from the moment I saw my sister-in-law's system, I knew that you are a big brother and I am a brother." Confirmed!"
It spoke extremely fast, and the light around it suddenly became extremely bright, almost blinding 001's eyes.
001 is a little dizzy.
This relationship... seems a bit complicated
"Don't worry about anything else, hurry up." 025 said, "Going back to the previous question, we need to find a way to protect my sister-in-law and prevent him from receiving too cruel villain missions, right?"
001 thought for a moment, then nodded.
025 said solemnly: "I have an idea. You know, there are many differences between missions and missions. We can make up a program, fake it as a system setting, and pass it to my sister-in-law—then set it as a mode where you can choose missions freely. Let my sister-in-law choose the villain task she wants to do."
Thunder struck the ground, thousands of thunders exploded in 001's heart.
Unexpectedly... can this be done
"Can you do it?" 001 was so anxious that before 025 could respond, he couldn't help asking, "What if you are found out by the headquarters? Are you afraid of being implicated by me?"
"Hey, we're all family members, so what's involved is not involved. The headquarters is in charge of so many systems and hosts, so they won't notice our small patch. All in all, I will leave the programming to me—by the way, add a cost Points can be used to refresh the small settings of the task, good things that come in vain are easy to be suspicious, and a little bit of points will make this matter more decent."
025 said it lightly, but 001 listened carefully, feeling more and more heavy in his heart.
The two light spots shrunk in the corner of the void, surrounded by endless darkness, and the oppressive feeling was like Mount Tai, almost driving people crazy.
001 gritted his teeth hard.
"Okay," it said firmly in a hoarse voice, "just do it."
—If something happens, I will be the first to take the charge, and I must not let 025 get involved.
As if seeing through 001's mind, 025 glanced at it lightly, although he was silent, there was a hint of warmth in his eyes.
The next second, it returned to its carefree look, shook its head and said, "It's not over yet, it's not that easy, what about those tasks that were screened out by my sister-in-law? No one will do them, and the tasks will not disappear automatically."
001 said without hesitation, "I'll go."
"You? You are not a villain system."
"I can be a villain." 001's eyes sparkled like a scorching sun, "Doesn't the system have the right to take a vacation in a small world? Let me be the villain of those mission worlds. I will do what he doesn't want to do."
The tone is firm and loud.
This time it was 025 who was shocked.
"Brother, are you serious?"
It looked at 001 carefully, its pupils constricted violently, as if it was the first day it met this friend.
"It's not like you don't know how rare the system's vacation rights are. Even if the model worker is alive, he must bring at least 20 to 30 hosts to win it once, right?"
001 said: "Then I will bring 30."
"Sister-in-law, what if you refresh ten times?"
"... then 300."
025 stopped talking.
Silence drifted between the two spots of light, in the darkness where there was no light forever, the surrounding temperature was beyond imagination—001 did not feel cold.
On the contrary, a fire rose in its chest, so hot that it almost burned Yong Ye through.
"... talent." 025 whispered.
It swallowed, and suddenly smiled lowly.
Hoarse laughter came from the violently trembling spot of light, rippling, 025 raised his voice, and repeated to 001: "You are so fucking talented!"
001 also laughed.
"025, you are also a talent." It said
001's laughter is more gentle and gentle, but if you listen carefully, through that peaceful voice, you can hear the madness hidden in the depths, like thousands of tons of explosives buried in the dark mountain The timing of the detonation.
"But you are also a lunatic." 025 said again.
001 smiled and said, "Each to each other."
"...It doesn't matter." 025 shrugged, "I know myself, I've always been a lunatic, but I didn't expect that you are crazier than me—I don't understand, that Xie Ziyou is really so good, he deserves your help Pay so much?"
001 was silent for a moment, nodded slightly, and shook his head again.
025 added: "He is not your host yet, you don't even have a chance to contact him a few times!"
The light was dim, and 001 sighed with emotion, then fell into deep thought.
—Why are you so excited for Xie Ziyou
001 is also very puzzled.
To be honest, the teenager was beautiful, but not the only beautiful person 001 had ever met.
He's kind, but he's not the only kind person 001 has ever met.
There are thousands of lovely people in the world, and among them there may not be one cuter than Xie Ziyou. Now that 001 has brought 33 hosts, it is already a well-informed system.
... But Xie Ziyou was the only one who made 001 feel a strong desire to protect.
The chill invaded, and the darkness surged, trying to drown out everything within sight.
Two gleams of light float in the void, like two candles flickering in the night wind, weak and dim, like two ants in the endless darkness—but they firmly want to radiate their own light and heat.
After a long time, 001 turned slightly.
The light flickered, and it whispered: "Probably because... I want to fall in love, and he happened to show up. He is very good."
It's really good, with a fresh breath that hasn't been infected by system tasks, foolishly, innocently, stretching out slender arms, trying to stay awake in this sad world.
Like a beam of warm light illuminating the heart.
It appears in the coldest season, the darkest late night, the most confused moment, and the moment when you want to give up the most.
... how can we not perish
