Like Yan Lubai, they also suspected that the three people were the same person.

After reading Yan Lubai's message, Liu Huaming said, "I think so too."

The others remained silent and did not refute.

Shen Xingxian suppressed the discomfort in his heart and said, "If that's the case, I think Miss has let it go and she has plans to start a new life."

Liu Huaming suddenly realized: "She wanted to kill us."

Shen Xingxian: "Why didn't she kill me?"

Jian Yueqiu said: "She knows you."

Shen Xingxian also remembered what Xu Xuerui said in the elevator: "When I was assigned to the elevator, she said that all her men were unfaithful and she wanted to kill them."

Liu Huaming concluded: "Then the original owner of this system is very likely Xu Xuerui. If we can persuade her and make her have hope for life again, the system will be destroyed and we can get out."

He Feiyu: “Yes.”

"Then let's go without further delay!" Jian Yueqiu said.

Shen Xingxian also adjusted his mentality: "Then let's go!"

When they arrived at the building, Shen Xingxian and his friends entered through the passage through the parking lot. The elevator felt a bit dangerous, so Liu Huaming suggested taking the stairs as it was safer. The fire escape door was too heavy and those who covered their faces could not open it.

They arrived quietly at Xu Xuerui's home on the sixteenth floor.

They wanted to kick the door open and communicate with Xu Xuerui, but they heard people inside arguing from the door, so they all listened outside.

The main reason Xu Ranqing returned to the human world this time was to let her mother start her life again, because her mother had not visited her for five years.

She came to the room where she used to live and lay on the bed. The sun had risen very high outside. The girl looked at the ground outside the window. The ground was very bright, just like the light she longed for.

She remembered that she didn't want to get up to study because of her unsatisfactory midterm exam results, so she stayed in bed until noon. The room was dark, with only the light from the neighbor next door. Xu Xuerui came back and opened the curtains in her room as usual and said, "Baby, it's time to get up."

She replied, “I don’t want to remember.”

Xu Xuerui sat next to Xu Ranqing, patting her thighs with both hands and sighing, "How could you be so depraved now!"

Xu Ranqing was furious. She said angrily, "I just don't want to get up. I am depraved. I can't get up. Get out."

Xu Xuerui went out and cooked dinner, then came to call her to eat again, but Xu Ranqing didn't want to get up. She was still as irritable as before. She didn't understand why. Whenever her mother came to talk to her, she would get particularly angry.

Xu Xuerui shouted, "Baby, get up and eat."

She pulled open Xu Ranqing's quilt, and Xu Ranqing covered it again. Xu Xuerui wanted her daughter to get up and eat, so she asked, "Why aren't you as lively and cheerful as Xiao Wu's daughter?"

Xu Ranqing said angrily: "Yes, I'm not as good as her. She is not only good at dressing up, but also has good grades. You should let her be your daughter!"

Xu Xuerui walked away because she had to do business in the afternoon. When she left Xu Ranqing's room, she said, "Daughter! I have prepared the food. It is on the table. You can get up and heat it up to eat later."

"Ah."

Xu Xuerui left and went to eat, and Xu Ranqing didn't want to talk too much with Xu Xuerui.

After Xu Xuerui finished her meal, Xu Ranqing got up and said to her mother, "Mom, I want to buy a bucket to hold the waste water from washing vegetables. This way, we can save a lot of water."

Xu Xuerui said: "It's better not to waste that money."

"If you don't buy it, I will."

"Wouldn't it be great if a small thing could make the world less catastrophic?"

Xu Xuerui didn't understand what Xu Ranqing said, so she expressed her thoughts: "Those are not our business. All you have to do is study hard and find a stable job in the future."

Xu Ranqing was angry when she saw that her mother did not understand her behavior and said, "I don't want to study anymore, and I don't want to find a job."

Xu Xuerui was very angry when she heard her daughter talking like this: "If you don't want to study, come down and carry the baskets with me."

Xu Ranqing squatted down and held her head and cried: "Mom, why don't you understand me? Can you understand me?"

When Xu Xuerui saw her daughter like this, she sat on the chair and tears fell uncontrollably. She didn't understand what was wrong with what she did. She just wanted her daughter to study hard and not be like her in the future. What was wrong with her?

She shouted at her daughter, "Xu Ranqing, can you be more realistic?"

Xu Ranqing rolled on the ground and said, "I'm not realistic. I don't want reality."

Xu Xuerui had mixed feelings. She didn't know how to comfort her daughter and could only let her roll on the ground. It was not easy to beat a grown-up girl, so she could only sit on a chair and feel miserable in silence.

Xu Ranqing kept repeating a few questions on the ground.

"Why did you let me be born?"

“What do you expect from me?”

"Do you love me?"

“What is the meaning of my life?”

Xu Ranqing couldn't answer any of these. As for the question of love, she felt that it would be particularly hypocritical to say it, so she didn't say it. She could only sit next to her daughter, crying uncontrollably, and then kept saying, "They say raising a son is a good way to prepare for old age."

"It is said that... raising children is a way to prepare for old age."

"How come I raised an ungrateful wolf? Why?"

Why can't my child be as filial as other children? Why? Why is this?

Xu Xuerui yelled like crazy: "It's like I'm raising an ancestor. When will I be able to enjoy the blessing?"

Her mother's words pierced her heart like needles. Xu Ranqing felt that she was just a tool for her mother to "raise a child to provide for her old age". There was no emotional bond between them, only the involvement of interests. Facing such a mother, Xu Ranqing was already discouraged. She stopped rolling around and stood up to question her mother: "Mom, do you love me?"

Xu Xuerui did not answer.

Xu Ranqing was furious: "It was because of you that my dad left to find that person. People like you will never be happy."

After Xu Ranqing finished speaking, she slammed the door and left with her schoolbag on her back, leaving Xu Xuerui sitting there alone. Her daughter's words were like a basin of freezing cold water, pouring straight into her heart.

Xu Ranqing thought that after so many years, things were no longer the same as before, but nothing had changed and they still had a big fight.

Shen Xingxian pulled He Feiyu to chase Xu Ranqing, and Zhang Feng and Wang Xiao followed them.

Jian Yueqiu, Liu Huaming and Shang Yanliang went in to check on Xu Xuerui's condition.

Xu Xuerui did not chase him out. She said to herself expressionlessly, "People say that daughters look like their fathers and sons look like their mothers. They are right. I see that she looks more and more like that man. I can actually accept that. But why did she quarrel with me?"

Xu Xuerui suddenly shouted: "Why do you want me to recall the past? Why? I love her, I love her! My daughter, please come back soon!"

She knelt on the ground, lowered her head and was silent for a while, then suddenly raised her head and faced the sun outside the window and shouted frantically: "It's all that man's fault. Without him, I wouldn't be like this now. I want to kill that man, I want to kill him. They killed me and my daughter, I want to kill them."

Liu Huaming didn't want to see her despair. She didn't care whether Xu Xuerui was aggressive or not. She walked forward and took Xu Xuerui's arm to help her up. Jian Yueqiu took her other arm, and Shang Yanliang pushed the things on the sofa aside to give Xu Xuerui a place to sit.

Xu Xuerui suddenly grabbed Liu Huaming's hand. Liu Huaming did not resist. Xu Xuerui looked at Liu Huaming with eyes wide open: "Go find my daughter, find my daughter."

Xu Xuerui said she was looking for her daughter, but she panicked because she didn't know where her daughter was. She grabbed her hair with both hands and pulled it frantically: "I can't remember where she is. Where is she? Why don't I know where my daughter is? Find her, please find her."

Liu Huaming squatted and whispered to Xu Xuerui: "Aunt Xu, we will find her."

Jian Yueqiu gently stroked Xu Xuerui's hand and comforted her: "Auntie, we will find her."

Xu Xuerui smiled bitterly: "Everything will be fine, right?"

The three of them hummed.

Xu Xuerui stared at the ceiling, began to spin in circles, and laughed: "Hahaha, everything will be fine? Hahaha, this is a huge joke."

After laughing, she burst into tears again: "My daughter is everything to me. Nothing will be good, and neither will I. I want my daughter."

Her eyes became determined: "I'm going to go find my daughter. When I find her, I'm going to kill you all, hahahaha!"

Jian Yueqiu questioned: "We tried to dissuade you with good intentions, but you turned your kindness into hatred."

Xu Xuerui has gone crazy. She doesn't care about anything anymore. She looks at Jian Yueqiu, grabs her chin and says, "I've lost everything that's most important to me. I'm going to destroy everything for others too. Hahaha, this world is the most unfair. Why do you treat me like this? You don't even satisfy my lowest demands. I only want my daughter. Daughter, mom is here to find you."

Xu Xuerui regained some of her sanity and said calmly, "I'm going to find my daughter. You guys go now!"

Seeing that Jian Yueqiu and the others had not left, she said, "Although this is my home, if you don't leave, I will leave. We won't meet even if we are destined to meet."

Xu Xuerui bent her back and walked slowly towards the door. Liu Huaming and the others wanted to know where Xu Xuerui was going, so they followed her. When she reached the door, Xu Xuerui disappeared from Liu Huaming's sight in a flash.

They went forward to check, but Xu Xuerui had disappeared without a trace.

Shen Xingxian and He Feiyu were running to the rooftop.

Zhang Feng and the others shouted from behind: "Don't go to the top floor."

Shen Xingxian took a breath and said, "We have to go. Isn't that where Xu Ranqing committed suicide? Xu Xuerui didn't want to accept the truth about her daughter's death, so she didn't allow anyone to go up there."

He Feiyu asked them in return: "How did you know?"

Zhang Feng said: "When she was under control, she ordered us puppets not to go up to the top floor every day."

Shen Xingxian asked doubtfully: "Are you still conscious after being controlled?"

When they were about to reach the top floor, they were chasing Xu Ranqing and suddenly split into two girls. Shen Xingxian chased to the right, and He Feiyu was too tired to follow Shen Xingxian. Zhang Feng said to He Feiyu: "You go to your friend's side, and we will chase the other side."

He Feiyu made an OK gesture to Zhang Feng and the others, and went to chase Shen Xingxian.

As Shen Xingxian chased, he found that Xu Ranqing was gone, and He Feiyu was gone too.

He was in darkness. He locked Shang Yan in the supermarket, turned on the flashlight prepared for them, and shone it around, but could not see anything. He remembered the beads he found in Xu Xuerui's house, so he ordered to the beads: "Beads, please open it."

In a trance, he traveled through time.

When he opened his eyes, he was already in a cube-shaped room with a closed door and a window on the right side of the door.

Shen Xingxian walked towards the window. It was sunny outside. The glass window was a sliding type, and the glass surface was covered with dust. The wooden edges surrounding the glass had become moldy and black. There was a spider hole in the corner of the windowsill, but the spider had left long ago.

In order to prevent bad people from coming in, the window is welded with thin cylindrical iron rods arranged in parallel. Since there are no curtains, the owner of the room wrapped the entire window with waste newspapers. The newspapers have turned yellow, indicating that the original owner has left the room a long time ago.

Shen Xingxian turned around and walked to the bed and sat down. He thought that this room was very suitable for sleeping at night with the lights turned off, but it was indeed very eerie during the day. There was a bed at the innermost part of the room, and the light from the window could not reach the bed, but only the ground close to the bed. The reflection on the ground made the whole room not so dark, but not so bright either. The only thing he could see was the dim corners.

Shen Xingxian was a little thirsty. He was about to get a bowl of water to drink, but he couldn't control his body. What was going on?

Shen Xingxian felt that he was much shorter than before, but there was no mirror.

He suddenly heard the body he was in speaking: "Mom and Dad, when will they come back? I'm so hungry!"

Shen Xingxian thought that he might have entered Xu Ranqing's body, and felt that Xu Ranqing was still a child who was unable to go to school.

He couldn't communicate with her now and could only listen to her quietly.

Xu Ranqing went to the table to break up the instant noodles, put the seasoning packet in and stirred it, then started to eat. Shen Xingxian was already thirsty, and now he was even thirstier.

"Dad, I really want to buy that book! Even though I can't understand it, can you buy it for me? When I go to school, I will be able to understand it."

Xu Ranqing ate instant noodles and said, "I really want to go to school, so that I won't be locked up at home by my parents."

Xu Ranqing listened to the groups of children laughing and walking past her house. She leaned over the window and looked out. How she wished she could be one of them.

He sighed, "I want to grow up so that my parents won't leave me at home because of money."

Shen Xingxian felt mixed emotions because he didn't understand why they would give birth to a child and let him suffer.

Shen Xingxian silently comforted her in his heart: Sister, I am a strange brother you will meet in the future. Although I already know your ending, I really hope you can be happy in your next life.

Shen Xingxian felt so upset that he couldn't stop crying.
