Chapter 53: Sugar Mommy, Kisses (XI) p2
Hua Baihe and the System were waiting and waiting in the space. If the conditions allowed, she would definitely have enacted a scene of plucking petals, directing a play of “the Ace of Hearts will come,” “the Ace of Hearts will not come”…
Unfortunately, the surroundings were empty.
In the extreme quiet and boredom, her thoughts began to wander.
Now that she had to place her hopes on a person she was completely unfamiliar with, she was quite uneasy in her heart. Although she had a fifty percent confidence that she could invite the other party after learning from the System that the Ace of Hearts and the Prime Deity had had a falling out in the past.
The remaining fifty percent was that the Ace of Hearts was a person who did not want to cause trouble, and to avoid gossip, she would handle it lightly.
Hua Baihe could only bet all her chips on the other party coming.
Otherwise…
She could only leave in this unclear way.
She would neither know how Wen Congshu’s world was mysteriously destroyed, nor would she be able to bring back a hundred million. It would all be like a big dream.
She would still have to bear the pointing fingers of her mother’s relatives, silently return to a cold grave, and tell her about this dream, and then wait for the day when her own ashes would also be placed inside.
Until now, she had not yet found someone to entrust her posthumous affairs to.
Just as Hua Baihe was lost in these aimless thoughts, the young man standing next to her suddenly’s eyes lit up, and he immediately said:
“Space authority has been activated. Welcome, Inspector.”
Hua Baihe was stunned for a moment.
Just as her gaze turned to the System, she saw him smile and nod at her—
This meant, it was a success.
The Ace of Hearts and the Prime Deity arrived faster than they had imagined. The System barely had time to tell Hua Baihe anything before two golden lights fell from the sky, and a woman in black and a man in pure white appeared in front of her.
At first glance, Hua Baihe thought the System had summoned the Black and White Impermanence.
Before she could speak, the Ace of Hearts walked over first. “You are the host of 1000286? I am this time’s inspector, the Ace of Hearts. This is your Prime Deity, Mary Sue. I heard you want to complain that the Prime Deity has interfered too much with your mission progress?”
Hua Baihe looked at the man with a complicated expression. “…”
Brother, are you serious about your name?
She tried her best to put on a very calm look and looked at the Ace of Hearts. She was not intimidated by her presence and just nodded. “Yes. My system can testify for me. It said at the time that I was a newcomer who had just signed a contract and was doing missions in a primary world. My rating had only dropped from S to E, so I shouldn’t have been subjected to this level of supervision.”
As she was speaking, the Ace of Hearts was looking in the direction of 1000286. Because there was a layer of black thin gauze blocking her, the emotion in her eyes was hard to distinguish for a moment.
After Hua Baihe finished speaking, she suddenly asked:
“Your current number is 1000286?”
The young man in the suit was a little puzzled by her question. What did she mean by “current number”? He had only had this number since he was created.
But despite his confusion, he still nodded.
The Ace of Hearts collected her emotions, nodded slightly, and then turned to look at Hua Baihe, replying:
“If you’re only talking about this matter—I must tell you, because your system has a loophole that allows it to judge your feelings for the Child of Destiny, the Prime Deity, to be on the safe side and to maintain the rules, this is a special case in the contract and is allowed to exist.”
“Besides…” the Ace of Hearts added casually, “the failure of your mission this time, which led to the destruction of the world, doesn’t that prove that the Prime Deity’s precautionary measures were correct?”
Her words seemed to be blaming Hua Baihe for insisting on violating the rules and getting into a relationship with the Child of Destiny. If not for that, the outcome of this world would not have been like this.
Hua Baihe: “…”
This meant that she had complained for nothing.
Hua Baihe felt that if she were the man in the white clothes right now, she would definitely want to reach out and strangle herself. Not only had she caused him to lose a world, but she had also tried to get his nemesis to mess with him.
Although Hua Baihe was a dying person, she was not sure how powerful this Prime Deity was. He was a god, and she was a mortal. There were many ways for him to make her unhappy.
Her mind was spinning rapidly. In the end, she still placed her gaze on the Ace of Hearts—
It was impossible for the other party to have come just to whitewash the Prime Deity. There must be other considerations.
Hua Baihe carefully chewed over the Ace of Hearts’ words, and her heart suddenly brightened. She spoke again:
“I have no defense for developing feelings for the Child of the World for the time being, but for the destruction of world 0…0857 this time, I request a review of the world line!”
The Ace of Hearts’ meaning was that the previous matter was not a big problem, and she hoped she could come up with more.
As Hua Baihe was speaking, she was sorting out her words in her mind and was soon able to continue fluently:
“My persona in the mission world has no enemies. Even if I changed the Child of Destiny’s fate line, it’s impossible for her to suddenly have enemies. It’s not logical. I request a review.”
“…A review?” The Ace of Hearts chewed on this phrase.
Logically, it was impossible for an ordinary mission personnel like Hua Baihe to understand the rules of the gods. Thinking of this, the Ace of Hearts couldn’t help but look at the young man in the suit next to her with a thoughtful expression.
1000286 had not violated the rules, but feeling her gaze, he felt a little guilty for some reason and averted his gaze.
Compared to the flow of their gazes, the man in white next to them had a much uglier expression.
He glanced at Hua Baihe without leaving a trace, and the coldness in his gaze successfully made Hua Baihe shiver.
Hua Baihe immediately rubbed her arms and frowned at her own system. “Didn’t you say your own space is at a constant temperature? Strange, why do I feel a little cold?”
Prime Deity: “…”
System: “…”
The Ace of Hearts suddenly smiled. She had the right to question these low-level gods, which meant that as long as she was willing, she could ask the other party to submit all reports on the operation of their subordinate worlds.
Mary Sue gritted his teeth. He had never thought he would be questioned by a human. He had thought that terminating the contract with her at this time would, on the one hand, prove that he had not played any tricks. After all, world 0857 had just been destroyed, and the Ace of Hearts would never have thought he would sacrifice a mission quota for nothing.
On the other hand, firing Hua Baihe was also a very natural thing to do. After all, Hua Baihe’s violation was there for all to see.
He never would have thought that a human would have the guts to use the excuse of complaining about him to frantically try to get his rival to find fault with him, just short of telling the Ace of Hearts—
This Prime Deity has a problem! Quick, investigate him!
He said to the woman in black in an uncertain tone, “It seems that your agency’s system, this batch has a rather large loophole. Even the core loyalty setting has a problem.”
These words were very damning to the Main Brain. The moment the System heard his meaning, it knew what he was implying. He was implying that it had the intention of selling out the gods’ information. If the Ace of Hearts really believed him, what awaited it was to be remade.
He tensed up and became as stiff as an icicle. But the woman in black, after hearing his words, just said lightly,
“That’s not for you to worry about—I’m suddenly interested in the situation of those failed worlds. Please upload the relevant data.”
Then, this man named Mary Sue smiled and said, even more shamelessly than before:
“I never keep failed works. Since the main system supervises the process anyway, I directly destroyed the relevant data after the world was destroyed.”
The Main System’s gentle voice was unusually ashamed. “Because the program was normal, I did not back it up. And the Prime Deity also has the right to let his subordinate worlds be destroyed—after all, he really doesn’t have enough energy for three reboots.”
Ace of Hearts: “…”
Hua Baihe was amazed at the level of shamelessness of the gods.
After that Mary Sue had been shameless for a while, he looked directly at Hua Baihe and said, “Human, not only did you seriously violate the terms of the contract, but now you are also trying to slander my fairness. If you do not stop this behavior immediately, I will reserve the right to pursue you for everything you have done today in the future—”
Hua Baihe was suddenly threatened, and her pupils contracted!
Just then, a gentle voice sounded behind her, “I have a backup.”
The moment these words were said, all the gazes in the room focused on him.
1000286 raised his hand, his tone a little embarrassed. “Because this is my first time cooperating with this host, I wanted to record the mission situation of each world. So, whether it was a successful world or a failed world, I have backed up the world line before the host left.”
Who knows where the sound of vomiting blood came from.
Hua Baihe and the Ace of Hearts both looked in the direction of the man in white. Then he looked back at them expressionlessly, his eyes as fierce as they could be.
The Ace of Hearts raised her hand to cover her lips, nodded slightly at the young man in the suit, and said:
“Then, upload the data.”
He replied, “Yes.”
The moment his voice fell, a thin golden light flew out from his temple and drilled under the black woman’s thin gauze high hat.
* * *
The speed at which a god’s brain processed information was beyond human comprehension. In the blink of an eye, Inspector Ace of Hearts had already received and processed the content of the Relationship System.
She raised her hand, and a screen unfolded in front of her. The image showed a corner of an alley, with a figure standing with its back to the crowd.
“Identity display,” the Ace of Hearts commanded.
A blue line immediately appeared next to the person, directly marking a box on the screen, with the internal display:
Name: John Jackson
Gender: Male
Identity: Fugitive Professional Killer
The Ace of Hearts continued to issue instructions, “Display the relationship with the Child of the World.”
The image on the screen paused for a long time, and then it showed: “John was being hunted by the local forces on the i-country island. In a moment of desperation, he opened fire on the crowd, accidentally injuring the Child of the World.”
“Accidentally injured?” The Ace of Hearts chewed on these words for a while.
She suddenly asked, “At this time, what was the mission progress of the Child of Destiny?”
Hua Baihe and the System said in unison, “92!”
So, the Ace of Hearts’ gaze immediately turned to the man in white. “I remember that the probability of the Child of the World’s life ending in an accident when they are about to succeed is less than 0.0000000001%, right?”
Prime Deity: “…”
He said with a deadpan expression, “Yes, but this one seems to have bad luck.”
Hua Baihe: “…”
The Prime Deity ignored her and instead looked at the Ace of Hearts. At this moment, she had a teasing smile on her face. The Mary Sue male Prime Deity’s face darkened, and he asked, “What? Do you think I would actively abandon my own subordinate world? What’s in it for me?”
The Ace of Hearts already had a conclusion in her heart. A hint of a smile appeared in her eyes under the black gauze. She curled her lips and replied:
“Yes, what’s in it for you?”
She withdrew her hand, and the images disappeared with her action.
Then, this Inspector looked at Hua Baihe and said, “You were able to change the emotional line of the Child of Destiny because of a loophole in the emotional judgment progress of 1000286. Strictly speaking, you were exploiting a loophole.”
Hua Baihe lowered her head in shame.
“Besides,” the Ace of Hearts said, “although you changed the object of the Child of Destiny’s emotions, you still maintained the normal operation of three worlds—”
The Ace of Hearts followed the man’s words:
“Unfortunately, you have bad luck. An accident happened in this world.”
Hua Baihe: “…”
That’s right. It’s rare for an ordinary person to have two partners die in a row after confessing to them twice.
Even though she had always been broad-minded, at this moment, she couldn’t help but feel a little disheartened. She could no longer hear the other person’s other words and couldn’t help but think about what would happen after she went back.
It was a bit embarrassing to think about.
But the person in the grave probably couldn’t lift the coffin lid to laugh at her.
She seemed to have always been like this…
Accomplishing nothing.
She couldn’t have a relationship, and this was the first time in her life she had planned to fight for her sexuality. She hadn’t even earned the money yet, but she got cancer first.
When things took a turn for the better, she thought she could at least take something away from this game.
In the end, she had lost her own tattered, patched-up heart here.
Even more unbearable than when she came.
Maybe the Prime Deity was right…
She just had bad luck.
Hua Baihe was in a daze. She didn’t know when the “Black and White Impermanence” had left, nor did she know when a figure had appeared in front of her.
* * *
“Hey.”
The System looked away, stood in front of her, and called out to her in a deliberately harsh tone.
Hua Baihe lifted her eyelids and looked at him listlessly, indicating that he should get to the point.
“I have something urgent to do, so I might—”
Hua Baihe immediately interrupted, “System, my dear, are you in a hurry to be reincarnated? You won’t even send me off, and you’re lying to me about having something urgent to do?”
My son is rebellious and has broken my heart.
System: “Huh?”
He blinked. “Send you off? Where to?”
Hua Baihe replied dejectedly, “Aren’t you terminating the contract? You can finally get rid of me now. Are you happy? Do you want me to buy you a string of firecrackers to celebrate?”
The young man in the suit was stunned for a moment and raised his hand to touch her forehead.
Hua Baihe dodged it a second before he touched her. “What are you doing? You think you can take advantage of me just because I’m not your master anymore?”
The System was even more incredulous than her. “Have you lost your memory?”
He said, “I’m going back with the Ace of Hearts to fix the program and get a patch. I’m telling you to wait for me here. What were you thinking?”
“And what contract termination? Didn’t you hear what the Ace of Hearts said just now?”
Hua Baihe’s face changed. She opened her mouth and said, “Are you talking about the part where she said I have bad luck?”
The System said with a dark face, “The next sentence!”
Hua Baihe: “…”
Her face was blank, with a question mark almost tattooed on it, telling the System clearly:
The next sentence?
I didn’t hear it.
The young man sucked in a sharp breath and asked, “Are you a dragon?” (In Chinese, the character for deaf sounds like the character for dragon.)
Hua Baihe felt that if she said she was a pig, she would probably be scolded even more, so she shut up.
The System was too lazy to explain to Hua Baihe and replayed the scene in the space just now in front of her. Then he turned into a golden light and flew into the sky.
“It’ll only be a few minutes. You should think about how to complete the mission in the next world.”
The moment his voice fell, the image he had left behind reappeared. It was the scene when that red lady had been standing here just now:
“But—I’m not one to believe in fate. Since you haven’t shown your true potential in the previous missions, then, after 1000286 is repaired, I’ll give you another chance to let me see your potential.”
Hua Baihe: “…”
If this red lady knew that she had no other potential besides seducing the protagonist, would she, in a fit of rage, have the System take her with it to perish together?
