128. Chapter 128: Small World

【Tong'er? What happened to you?】

【Tong'er??】

Luo Xixi discovered she had lost contact with the Baby System and immediately realized this matter likely had something to do with Yan Yu. She hurriedly looked toward Yan Yu, but the moment she turned her head—

Luo Xixi suddenly felt a darkness before her eyes. Her entire body seemed to be gripped by a massive suction force; she was completely unable to control herself or resist, and immediately after, she lost consciousness.

When she regained consciousness again, Luo Xixi found herself in a strange space where everything was pitch black. Even though there was no light source around, Luo Xixi could clearly see herself, feeling as if her whole body was glowing.

What is this situation?

What kind of strange phenomenon is this?

Just as Luo Xixi was completely at a loss, a tall figure slowly walked toward her.

It was none other than Yan Yu.

"Xi..."

Yan Yu had only just spoken, but the next second, Luo Xixi threw a punch toward Yan Yu's face. "Yan Yu, you bastard! What did you do to me? What is this place? Where is my Tong'er? I can't contact it! Is this your doing too?!"

Yan Yu was knocked to the ground by Luo Xixi's punch, but he wasn't angry. He simply pressed his hand against his struck face and said with helpless annoyance, "Xixi, before you take action, can you think twice?"

"No!!!"

Luo Xixi walked over, grabbed Yan Yu by the collar, and hauled him up, saying angrily, "Yan Yu, what exactly are you trying to do?"

Yan Yu stared at her and said, "There are no outsiders here, and no systems. You can call me by my original name."

Luo Xixi, full of defiance, said rebelliously, "I won't! I'll call you whatever I want!"

"..."

This girl!!!

Yan Yu took a deep breath to calm himself down and said to Luo Xixi, "Fine, suit yourself. This is a Small World that belongs exclusively to me. I blocked your system because their systems all have monitoring functions installed. Once Transmigrators discuss system-related topics, the system and the Host are forcibly logged out of this Book World. I want to talk to you about other topics, and your system cannot be present."

"You can even create your own Small World?"

The more Luo Xixi looked at Yan Yu, the more she felt this person was mysterious. She said incredulously, "What kind of person are you? You can actually forcibly separate a system from a Transmigrator? Qiyuan, what is your true purpose in approaching me?"

Yan Yu gave Luo Xixi a faint look and said, "Guess..."

Luo Xixi said angrily, "I won't guess! Do you think this is the Lantern Festival guessing riddles?"

Yan Yu was also getting irritated by Luo Xixi. He glared at her and said gloomily, "Luo Xixi, are you a pig? Is your brain only filled with bean dregs? Why I came to find you—can't you think about it carefully?"

"I thought about it carefully and still can't figure it out! How would I know what mission the system gave you?!"

Luo Xixi also retorted loudly and righteously.

Yan Yu said angrily, "I don't have a system!! And I don't have a mission!"

"What do you mean?"

Hearing Yan Yu say this, Luo Xixi was even more surprised. "If you don't have a system, how could you come to this Book World? And you can even create this Small World; how can you not have a system?"

Yan Yu didn't know how to explain this to Luo Xixi. He irritably raked his hair, then reached out to grab Luo Xixi's wrist, saying to her seriously and earnestly, "Luo Xixi, let's go!"

"Go? Go where?"

Luo Xixi was confused.

Yan Yu said solemnly, "Leave this Book World!"

"What?!"

Once these words were out, Luo Xixi immediately shook off Yan Yu's hand and retreated several steps to keep her distance, watching him vigilantly as she said, "Why would I want to leave this world? And if I leave, where can I go?"

Yan Yu said, "Anywhere in the world. Every Book World is a universe unto itself; there are billions of such worlds, and many have already been abandoned by the System Headquarters. They won't be able to find us, and we can live freely and at ease. This world has already been turned into a mess by Transmigrators; the System Headquarters will soon detect the anomaly, and at that time, all Transmigrators will be logged out of this world. I'm not sure if I'll be able to see you again after you're forcibly logged out, so come with me now!"

"All Transmigrators will be logged out of this world?"

Hearing these words from Yan Yu, Luo Xixi's heart suddenly skipped a beat. In that instant, images of her parents in the Luo Family, her eldest brother, her third brother, and the great beauty Suna flashed through her mind.

These people were originally all Cannon Fodder, but now they had begun to develop Self-Awareness. Moreover, they were all very good to her. From these people, Luo Xixi truly felt familial love and friendship.

But now Yan Yu was telling her that she was about to be forcibly removed from this world?

At the thought of leaving and never seeing these people again, Luo Xixi felt as if a huge chunk had been gouged out of her heart. It was very painful and very distressing.

"Xixi...?"

Seeing that Luo Xixi had no reaction, Yan Yu called her name again.

Luo Xixi looked up, her lips trembling. Her eyes were filled with panic and helplessness. Her voice was a bit hoarse as she stared at Yan Yu and asked, "Qiyuan, you're so capable, can't you think of a way? I don't want to leave this world..."

"..."

Yan Yu paused when he saw Luo Xixi's reaction.

He took a deep breath and asked, "Have you really developed feelings for this world?"

"Isn't it only natural to develop feelings?"

Luo Xixi bit her lip and said, "The Luo Family members are all very good to me. No matter how the outside world slanders me, they stand unconditionally on my side, even my third brother, who was influenced by Shiqing several times, is like that. I like them, I don't want to be separated from them, and didn't you promise me you would help me save my eldest brother? You can't go back on your word."

"..."

Luo Xixi rarely spoke to Yan Yu in such a soft and pitiful tone, and he was clearly a sucker for it.

Being spoken to so pitifully by her, Yan Yu began to get a headache.

He sighed while supporting his forehead and said, "Although I thought you might develop feelings for that group of people, I didn't expect it to be this deep. This matter is very difficult to handle. You should have noticed too—this Book World is very abnormal."

"Yeah, it's almost been riddled with holes by Transmigrators."

Luo Xixi responded.

It was clear that a Book World should have at most two Transmigrators, yet four had arrived in their world at once! It was truly absurd.

Yan Yu choked, then said, "That is one aspect... and then there is that Shiqing's system. It has clearly committed violations—it's using an External Cheat—but the higher-ups haven't reacted at all. It's evident that at least two factions have emerged within the system, both secretly competing in this Book World. Now that the plot has collapsed to such a degree, there is no room for recovery."
