It was already night after returning from the hotel. The dark night color made the silence in the room a little weird.

Lou Xiao, who was typing his phone down, suddenly asked, "Is the system still there?"

The system that just scans the host's past data: [In.]

Lou Xiao: "Why did you suddenly stop talking?"

system:【……】

What can it say? Can it confess that it shouldn’t be lazy and choose the host based on its original owner’s name?

Lou Xiao didn't get an answer and asked again: "Apart from 'mental electric shock', do you have any other means of punishment?"

The system is still silent because there is no other punishment method except for mental electric shock. After all, the system is not born to torture the host, and the punishment method is inevitably single. Moreover, it did not expect that someone could really resist mental electric shock.

However... the system thinks that it can lie to the host and create a punishment that is enough to make the host afraid, such as "if the task is not completed, it will be erased". As long as the host does not dare to verify the authenticity, it can continue to cheat.

Just as the system was planning how to deceive Lou Xiao, Lou Xiao said to himself: "I guess not. If there is, you should say it out from the beginning to achieve the best deterrent effect."

Lou Xiao paused for a moment and continued to say slowly: "Or you will scare me and say that if I don't complete the task, you will erase me. I won't believe it, because you said at the beginning that if I don't follow your instructions, you will torture me to mental disorders by using mental shocks to meet the criteria for changing the host. This sentence means that once a host is selected, you cannot decide whether to stay or live or die at will. You have regulations that you must change the host when the host is mentally ill. Is my guess right?"

system:【……】

Yes, that's right. If it has a body, it can get goosebumps all over.

A sense of helplessness arose, and the system finally stopped silent and said: [Sir, you are more like a system than me.]

Analyzing the dialogue, selecting key information from it and using it is more like something that only system programs do.

Lou Xiao noticed that the system used respectful words to her and chuckled: "You are more like a person than me."

Know the current affairs and bow your head when you know it is time to bow your head.

After completing this wave of commercial mutual bragging, Lou Xiao asked again: "Would you like to make a deal with me?"

System: [What is the transaction content?]

Lou Xiao: "I will help you complete some of the plot, and you will tell me all the contents in the book."

The system carefully analyzed Lou Xiao's words and replied: [This does not comply with the regulations, and you said that you only completed "partial plots", but for the system, as long as the plot has a slight deviation, I will be punished. Unless you are willing to finish the plot, I will not agree to your request.]

Lou Xiao didn't blink for a moment: "Okay, I promise to help you finish the plot. You can tell me the whole book first."

System: [...According to the host's physiological sign analysis, you are lying.]

Lou Xiao is indeed lying. For a human from the end of the world, lying for survival is as ordinary as eating and drinking water for survival.

She could not give up her hard-earned life for the sake of a ghost plot, nor would she want to let the unknown plot affect her life.

Lou Xiao was not embarrassed at all: "It is true to help you complete some of the plot, as long as you are willing to tell me the plot."

The system was angry at Lou Xiao's lying and said decisively: [The system refuses transactions.]

Lou Xiao was upset: "Are you minding my lie just now? I can apologize, and hope you can objectively consider my proposal without personal emotions. After all, you said it yourself. If the plot is not completed, you will be punished. I believe that the severity of your system's punishment will be linked to the plot completion degree. Anyway, it will not be completed. Trying to reduce the punishment as much as possible is not the most important thing, right?"

The system was shocked by Lou Xiao's keenness - she was right, the severity of the system's punishment was indeed related to the degree of completion.

Because a single mistake will harm the enthusiasm of the system. Therefore, if the plot is completed at a high level, the punishment will be light, if the completion degree is low, the punishment will be heavy, if the completion degree is low, the punishment will be severe, if the completion degree is low, the threshold will be broken, and the system will be destroyed by the factory.

But Lou Xiao was able to grasp its ability to be fatal with just one sentence, which made it scared, so it said: [The system needs time to consider it.]

Lou Xiao: "Then you have to step up."

The system panicked: [What are you going to do?]

Lou Xiao did not answer.

Lou Xiao put away his cell phone and left the room, knocking on the door of the room next door.

After a while, Mu Dongyang opened the door from inside and saw that it was Lou Xiao, an unnatural expression appeared on his face.

Mu Dongyang moved out after being admitted to university. Today, in the hotel, Chu Xiuzhen proposed to let her go home and give Lou Xiao a tutoring every day. She didn't dare to refuse, so she followed her back here.

She had just cleaned up the room and heard the knock on the door and thought it was her uncle, but she didn't expect it was her cousin Lou Xiao, which surprised and nervous.

Lou Xiao, who had always hated her, would come to her on his own initiative. She was nervous because she was afraid that Lou Xiao would be unkind. Wan had a conflict and she would be scolded by Chu Xiuzhen again.

"Are you here to get something?" Mu Dongyang asked carefully, his humble attitude, and he didn't look like a sister at all.

Mu Dongyang's bedroom is equivalent to half a storage room, and everything you don't need at home will be placed here.

Lou Xiao shook her head and pushed her into the room naturally, saying, "I remember you didn't bring your clothes back. You will definitely have no clothes to change when taking a shower later. I can lend you."

Mu Dongyang was surprised. She felt that Lou Xiao had changed, but it seemed that she had been away from home for so long, and it seemed that Lou Xiao had changed.

After all, people will grow up, and my cousin may have grown up and become sensible.

Mu Dongyang breathed a sigh of relief: "No need to be so troublesome. I was still wearing my clothes before, and I could still wear them."

"That's good." Lou Xiao sat down beside the bed and accidentally touched the quilt on Mu Dongyang's bed. He found that the quilt was hard and smelled moldy when he picked it up.

The quilt was taken out of the closet by Mu Dongyang himself, because it had not been sunburned for too long and was damp.

Mu Dongyang could find the problem of Lou Xiao, but she could do it, but she didn't dare to say it, let alone ask Chu Xiuzhen to take a comfortable quilt, for fear that Chu Xiuzhen would scold her for being difficult to serve.

Lou Xiao had no concerns about this. She stood up and said, "This quilt cannot be covered. I'll ask my mother if there are any other quilts."

When Mu Dongyang heard this, his scalp exploded. He quickly stopped Lou Xiao and said in a silence, "No, no, I'll sleep for one night first, and I'll take it to dry tomorrow."

Lou Xiao didn't say it was okay or not. She tilted her head and suggested: "How about you sleep with me tonight, and wait until the quilt is dry tomorrow before going back to bed here."

This method is obviously better than the previous one, so good that Mu Dongyang suspected that he was dreaming.

But when she finished taking a shower, Lou Xiaozhen pulled her back to her room and gave her the textbook, telling her what she didn't understand and let her teach herself.

Mu Dongyang was worried that Chu Xiuzhen and Lou Guodong would have any opinions, so he was absent-minded in the topic. Until half past ten, the door of the room was knocked, and Mu Dongyang trembled for a moment--

Here comes!

Lou Guodong came in with the door. He brought two cups of hot milk and told them to sleep after drinking and not stay up late.

Mu Dongyang drank the milk with Lou Xiao like a sleepwalking, went to rinse his mouth and cleaned up the tabletop, turned off the lights and went to bed.

Moonlight shone through the window on the corner of the bed. Mu Dongyang lay on Lou Xiao's bed, covered with a fluffy and soft quilt, and a small pillow with tea stems as a pillow core on the back of his head.

The faint fragrance surrounds her nose, and Mu Dongyang smells the smell more and more unreal because she has never felt such peace in this place in the past few years.

She had become accustomed to her aunt's mean words and her cousin's disgust for her, and knew that she was nothing in this place, just an annoying outsider, suddenly being cared for and taken care of, she would not take it for granted, she would only feel panic and incredible.

She had insomnia until the early morning, and her cell phone suddenly vibrated, which scared her to sit up immediately and hung up the phone.

She looked at Lou Xiao who was on the same bed, and confirmed that Lou Xiao was not awakened. She climbed out of bed and left the room with slightest steps.

Lou Guodong and Chu Xiuzhen were already asleep, and the living room was dark. She turned on the flashlight and walked to the balcony, then dialed the call she had just cut off.

"Dongyang." The sound of practicing mats came from the phone.

The character of the silence is always light, and the voice is also light, giving people a feeling of gentleness and indifference, but it was this cold voice that accepted her confession after she mustered up the courage to confess.

Mu Dongyang was once very excited about this, and he became more obsessed with practicing mats in the later days.

All the accidents that happened today were simply a disaster for her. Just when she wanted to apologize to Zhengshi on her mobile phone, Zhengshi actually said "I'm sorry".

He said: "I asked Ling Xueyi, and she admitted that it was she who deliberately lied to you to make you think I like seafood."

Mu Dongyang hurriedly said, "I'm not right, I don't even know that you are allergic to seafood."

The training seat was quiet for a while, and finally only two words were thrown out: "It's okay."

Mu Dongyang didn't know how to answer the conversation, and a silence spread between the two.

Finally, the practice mat said to her: "It's too late, go to bed."

Mu Dongyang: "Yes."

Hang up the call, Mu Dongyang lowered his hand and took a deep breath—

Lianxi apologized to her, and then Ling Xueyi lied to her and asked her to make a fool of herself in front of her friends who were practicing silence.

Lianxi did not ask her if she is now, nor did she ask her where she is now, nor did she even ask her for a belated happy birthday.

Does he really like himself?

Mu Dongyang felt confused.

If the training mat likes herself, she will try to make herself worthy of him, but if the training mat doesn't like her, she doesn't know what to do.

The feeling of being in decline made her suffer a lot, but she was reluctant to let go and stay away from this torture.

She breathed a sigh of relief and turned back to Lou Xiao's room.

The next morning, Mu Dongyang rose late.
Chapter completed!
