Chapter 213: Volume 1 Chapter 213 – I See Your Forehead Is Dark (1)

Jiang Zhi, who had just woken up in the Rest Cabin, had a tear slide down the corner of her eye; she reached up to wipe it away and slowly sat up.

777 whispered: "Host, are you alright?"

Jiang Zhi's emotions quickly settled, returning to normal, and she curled her lips into a smile: "I'm fine."

777 sometimes suspected the Host was a robot, capable of autonomously erasing memories and emotions. Ordinary people, after experiencing a long lifetime, cannot move on, but the Host is different—she needs only a few seconds to do so.

"Do you want to rest a day before entering the next world?"

Jiang Zhi shook her head: "No need."

She stretched, then said: "Let's go to that world."

——

In the pitch-black, cramped basement, the temperature was cold and damp, the air thin, filled with an unpleasant odor.

As soon as Jiang Zhi woke up, she felt piercing pain throughout her body; moreover, this body was running a fever, her head felt dizzy and swollen, and her breathing was rapid.

【World Setting: Sharp-tongued, lazybones.】

【Mission: Capture the antagonist.】

【Special mission: TBD.】

Jiang Zhi pressed her unsteady chest, asking: "Brother Seven, what about the original host's memories?"

777 wanted to speak but hesitated: "Host..."

Jiang Zhi: "Say it."

777: "When the Host transmitted her soul, a bug occurred, temporarily placing her in the antagonist's body."

"Don't worry, Host; once the bug is fixed, you'll be able to return to your designated body."

Jiang Zhi nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood.

This is probably the first bug she has encountered since taking the job.

No wonder this body feels so uncomfortable—it turns out to be the antagonist's body.

The antagonist is Yu Beihan, the sole heir of the Hua Guo Yu family, the greatest aristocratic clan; at age twelve, he was kidnapped by his enemies and locked in the basement to be tortured.

He was imprisoned for nearly two years; after escaping the basement, a sudden fire burned everyone in the building to death, leaving him as the sole survivor.

After those two years, Yu Beihan's legs were crippled, his mind became especially twisted and perverse; as he grew older, he became even more brutal and ruthless, posing as the CEO of the Yu family while secretly committing dozens of murders.

If the plot were merely this, the story's genre would at most be a mystery crime.

But after the mystery crime label, an extra condition was added: supernatural.

There are ghosts and evil spirits.

Yu Beihan is a reincarnation of an emperor, born into the Yu family with Imperial Purple Qi surrounding him; he should have led a smooth life, but unexpectedly, at age twelve, he was kidnapped by his enemies, and his Imperial Purple Qi was transferred to the enemy's son.

The enemy's son is this world's male lead.

After losing his Imperial Purple Qi, Yu Beihan's malice surged, attracting myriad evil spirits that sought to devour his soul.

Yu Beihan slaughtered the evil spirits, absorbing their yin energy, becoming so powerful that even the underworld's reapers dare not approach him.

The ending is that he wants to utterly destroy this world; the male and female leads try to stop him, but in the end they die at his hands, and even the plot god pillar cannot prevent it—only able to watch the world's destruction.

This is the nineteenth world after the repair; if the world is destroyed again, there will be no way to restrain the antagonist any further.

It's understandable that the previous Host would fail; each time this antagonist destroys a world, his resistance to the plot god pillar increases slightly, and his self-awareness awakens as well.

Once the antagonist gains self-awareness, he is no longer merely as simple as an S-rank difficulty.

Now the world has been destroyed nineteen times, and the antagonist Yu Beihan has become perverted to an absurd degree.

"Who are you?"

Suddenly, at that moment, a cold, gloomy, childish voice reached Jiang Zhi's ears.

She couldn't help but blurt out:

"I'm your father."

【Antagonist Yu Beihan Favorability -50 points.】

Jiang Zhi: "This sharp-tongued persona really harms people, huh QAQ"
