Chapter 368 – Your family’s plum blossom is lost again (44)
Wang Shi froze slightly upon hearing the soft and cute voice of Little Pink.
Hearing the mention of the horror dimension and recalling the voice from earlier, she hadn’t seen the system itself, but she was all too familiar with its voice.
The tall, dark figure beside her had no time to say much before its body stiffened and dissipated.
A pink light flickered slightly, then floated toward Yan Luo.
Wang Shi collapsed onto the ground, her bond with the system abruptly severed, sending a violent shock through her mind.
The pain in her head was unbearable. She clutched her head with one hand, pressed the other against the ground, and gritted her teeth as she looked up at Yan Luo.
By now, Yan Luo no longer showed any trace of earlier panic and distress. Though still a bit pale, she stood there calmly, looking down at Wang Shi.
The little pink light swayed and slowly drifted in front of her.
“You have a system too…?! You’re from another world as well?!”
[That thing you had, something that doesn’t even have a proper name, existing solely to plunder, doesn’t qualify as a system, little girl.] Though Little Pink’s voice remained as soft and cute as before, there was a distinct chill in its tone.
Clearly, it was displeased that Wang Shi had lumped it together with the pseudo-system.
—No wonder… No wonder I had never been able to defeat her, even with all my advantages…
Wang Shi lowered her head slightly, her fingers clenching tighter and tighter as she listened to Little Pink. The pain was so intense that she was close to losing consciousness.
Then she heard Yan Luo speak. “Little Pink, that pseudo-system has already been destroyed. What about this person?”
[Ordinary people without special abilities can bind with a pseudo-system, but their minds aren’t strong enough to withstand its energy. In a few minutes, this barrier will fade, and by then, she’ll suffer a complete mental breakdown.]
In other words, Wang Shi would go insane.
[I’ve already notified headquarters. There will be professionals sent to take care of people like her.] Handling it themselves would be troublesome, it was easier to let headquarters deal with it.
“In that case, since the problem is solved so quickly, let’s go.” Yan Luo still had to figure out how to provoke that supposedly emotionless Xiao Gege.
Since he had changed so much recently, it meant there was still a way to handle him.
Watching Yan Luo’s retreating figure, Wang Shi let out an unwilling roar. “You were just luckier than me! If I had bonded with your system…”
—If I had bonded with your system, you would have been the one to lose to me instead of things turning out like this…
Little Pink was just about to return to its original position when it heard that and immediately flared up.
Did she think it would bind with just any random thing?!
Before it could even respond, its Host suddenly paused, tapped lightly on the now-weakening barrier, then turned slightly to look at Wang Shi.
“Harboring malice only brings misfortune upon yourself. Understand?”
The pain in Wang Shi’s mind peaked. She collapsed on the ground, trembling slightly. She watched as the barrier in front of Yan Luo shattered into countless shimmering fragments, then she lost consciousness entirely.
Yan Luo, on the other hand, paused mid-step. A few raindrops fell onto her face, and then—
A sudden clap of thunder roared in her ears, draining what little color had returned to her face.
The original owner’s emotions surged violently within her.
Yan Luo : This weather… is out to get me… So cursed! QAQ
