"Ming Zhu, the Sanbao Sect has given me the Opium Poppy. You know what the Opium Poppy is, right? It's something that can take a life.
It's because of that damned Opium Poppy that I've been living in a fantasy for a while, gradually turning into the state I'm in now.
Sometimes I wonder, in my previous life, if I hadn't greedily wanted things that didn't belong to me during the transmigration, would I have lived a happier life?
After all, in my previous life, I already had beauty, status, and power.
But there are no 'ifs' in this world. What I can't understand is, the Female Emperor of Canglan Country and I have already been punished for things in our previous lives.
But why are we still being punished in this life for what happened in our previous lives?
That damned thing didn't spare you, but it didn't spare us either!
But the result! You have so many people around you protecting you. But the Female Emperor of Canglan Country and I are like two rats living in a sewer, hated and loathed by everyone!"
Listening to the Female Emperor of Fengshuo Country's agonized voice, Lin Zaozao felt that her so-called suffering was well-deserved, and she was making a terrible racket.
After doing so many bad things, how dare she complain about her own painful experiences?
"I don't care if you're called Zhao Xue or Qian Xue, Female Emperor of Fengshuo Country. I'll just ask you a few things. Answer me honestly, and I'll tell you why everyone hates you."
"Speak," the Female Emperor of Fengshuo Country said with red eyes.
"Were the puppets and poisoned people in Purgatory Valley your and the Female Emperor of Canglan Country's doing?"
"Yes, it was us."
"Were the child corpses hanging from the trees outside Xi City your doing?"
"It was me!"
"Were the missing women in Fengshuo Country killed by you?"
"It was me!"
"Were the scattered remains outside your doing?"
"It was me!" the Female Emperor of Fengshuo Country said with red eyes.
"Then this pool of blood, was that your doing too?"
Lin Zaozao roared.
"That was me too!" the Female Emperor of Fengshuo Country shouted back.
"Ha! Female Emperor of Fengshuo Country, you're quite direct in admitting to all the despicable things you've done!
You've done so many bad things, your heart is so wicked, so why should anyone like you?"
"..."
"What? Nothing to say now?"
Lin Zaozao walked two steps towards the edge of the blood pool, staring at her with a dazed look and asking incomprehensibly,
"My aunt, you said you've transmigrated twice. If you and I really come from the same place, I can't understand how someone who grew up in such a peaceful place could do such vicious things.
Could it be... you were just born evil? Otherwise, how could you kill so mercilessly!
Let's not even talk about the scattered remains outside, just this pool of blood—how many people did you have to kill to accumulate this much?"
Hearing Lin Zaozao's words, the Female Emperor of Fengshuo Country looked at the pool of blood, then extended her hand to look at her pale, swollen, corpse-like arm.
The next second, she started clawing at herself like a madwoman, with such force that Lin Zaozao could clearly see strips of flesh being torn from her body.
This woman is really vicious!
Oh my god! This scene is damn disgusting too.
She felt that ever since transmigrating, her courage had truly grown a lot. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to stand at the edge of a pool formed from human blood and talk to the Female Emperor of Fengshuo Country.
After the Female Emperor of Fengshuo Country had vented enough, she panted heavily, looking at Lin Zaozao and Xi Luo behind her, her voice trembling as she said,
"Ming Zhu, I didn't want to do it either. You know? Before I transmigrated, I was just a student who had never even touched a knife.
My teachers, my family, my friends, they all taught me positive, optimistic, and bright things.
But after I transmigrated, a thing called a 'system' appeared inside the bodies of the Female Emperor of Canglan Country and me.
That system first made the Female Emperor of Canglan Country and me do simple tasks. After we completed the tasks, it would give us generous rewards.
But if we didn't do the tasks it gave, it would shock us, and even kill us, threatening our families as hostages.
To stay alive, we could only obey its words.
So the Female Emperor of Canglan Country and I were gradually led astray by it, step by step falling into the trap it set.
After we died in our previous life, we thought we would be free, and no longer bound by that damned system.
But unexpectedly, in this life, as soon as I opened my eyes, I found myself reborn here.
And that damned system was still by my side, controlling my thoughts, making me do things I didn't want to do.
The difference between the Female Emperor of Canglan Country and me in this life is that I transmigrated into this world, while she transmigrated as a soul.
As soon as we transmigrated here, that damned system started ordering us to do things we didn't want to do again.
It told us that this was just a world in a book, and all the people living in this world were soulless paper people.
So the two of us could kill these people indiscriminately, to change our fortunes and stay in this world for a long time."
"So you two harmed so many people just to change your fortunes?"
"No, we didn't. Ming Zhu, as long as that system exists, the two of us can't control our own bodies.
We know killing is wrong, but the things we do and the words we say seem arranged by someone else.
Later, that system told us that if we killed you, the Female Emperor of Canglan Country and I would be free. And the only way to kill you was to use a curse formed from human lives!
To be free, we could only follow the system's instructions, first establishing Purgatory Valley, then using human lives to create the curse.
We gradually became accustomed to doing one evil deed after another, going from fear at first to treating it as normal now.
Ming Zhu, that damned system has turned the Female Emperor of Canglan Country and me into demons who eat people without spitting out the bones."
Listening to the Female Emperor of Fengshuo Country's roar, Lin Zaozao asked incomprehensibly,
"If your system within isn't some ordinary thing, I don't believe it would allow you to reveal details about yourself," said Ming Zhu.
"Of course it doesn't allow that. But what can I do if it can't control me now? The system on me has been restrained by someone else - it can no longer control me.
Ming Zhu, do you want to know who has the power to control the system within me?"
After speaking, the Female Emperor of Fengshuo Country looked straight at Xi Luo with her reddened eyes.
Following her gaze, Lin Zaozao turned her head to glance at Xi Luo, but didn't ask further questions.
Because the timing wasn't right.
"Ming Zhu, haven't you already guessed? Since you've guessed, why don't you directly ask your system who he really is?" said the Female Emperor of Fengshuo Country as Lin Zaozao turned her head. She reached out to grab Lin Zaozao's wrist.
But before she could move, the pool of blood slowly began to churn. The Female Emperor of Fengshuo Country's body visibly dissolved into the churning blood pool at a speed perceptible to the naked eye.
"Ah!"
Witnessing this, Lin Zaozao backed away several steps in fright until her back was against a pillar, her body trembling uncontrollably.
"Ming Zhu, I'm going to die. I'll pay the price for the evil I've done. I'll disappear from this world forever.
Hahaha... I'm dying, but Xi Luo, you'll have to die with me. Hahaha...
Ming Zhu, Xi Luo is your younger brother from your previous life - Lin Luoluo.
To protect you, he now has to die with me...
Hahaha... Ah!"
With the Female Emperor of Fengshuo Country's manic howling, Lin Zaozao turned her head in horror to see Xi Luo, who had been guarding her, slowly fading from existence before her very eyes.
"Luo Luo, it's you... This can't be possible? Luo Luo..."
"Elder sister, I'm sorry, but I can only accompany you this far. For the rest of the journey, you'll have to walk alone.
Elder sister, remember, your life is the most important. Never harm yourself for anyone else again..."
"Luo Luo, it really is you. What happened? Weren't you with Dad and Mom in the modern world? How did you end up here? And how did you become my system?"
Lin Zaozao tried desperately to grab Xi Luo's dissipating form.
But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't stop his body from vanishing, only able to watch helplessly as he disappeared bit by bit before her eyes.
"Elder sister, return to Canglan Country and regain the memories of your previous life! Do it quickly! This time, you must be ruthless!
Remember, never harm yourself for anyone else again. And sister, I don't want to be your brother, I want to be your lover.
Now, I can only help you one last time... Hurry! Go back to Canglan!"
In his final moments before disappearing, Xi Luo gently placed his hand on Lin Zaozao's forehead.
The next second, a white moonlight flower appeared on her brow. The moment the moonlight flower manifested, Lin Zaozao's eyes turned golden.
"Luo Luo, Luo Luo..."
Grief-stricken as she watched Lin Luoluo dissipate into light, Lin Zaozao opened her mouth several times but couldn't utter a word.
Her Luo Luo had vanished before her eyes.
She couldn't grab him, she couldn't save Luo Luo.
