The unscrupulous system forced me to frantically test the small black room

Tao Zhi stretched out his hand towards Gong Cheng's face, and his warm and soft fingertips fell on Gong Cheng's eyebrows.

These eyes no longer have the immaturity they had when I first met them, but they are still as clear as before.

"Small town." Tao Zhi called softly.

"Hmm?" Gong Cheng responded.

"Because of my willfulness over the years, I have brought a lot of bad memories into your life and made you suffer a lot. I am sorry for you." Tao Zhi said.

Hearing this, Gong Cheng shook his head with red eyes.

"Every minute and every second I spend with my husband is worth cherishing."

"Mr. has never let me down. It is because I am too useless that Mr. has been worried about his love for me because of various obstacles."

"Although my husband has cheated on me many times and pushed me away many times, I know that he has always loved me."

"Now, my husband can wear this wedding dress for me. This is my life's luck."

Gong Cheng's eyes were filled with love and his words were nasal.

We are running out of time, Tao Zhi thought to himself.

Tao Zhi couldn't help but let her tears fall in front of Gong Cheng's eyes, but she still forced herself to laugh while crying and wiped away the tears pretending to be casual.

"What you said was so corny, I feel embarrassed listening to it. Look how touched I am, it's so embarrassing."

"Let's not talk about it anymore. We have to go downstairs quickly. You go down first. I'll get the phone from the bedside table and I'll come down to find you later." Tao Zhi said.

Tao Zhi pushed Gong Cheng to turn his head, then he retreated into the door, holding the door with his hand and closed it until there was only a gap of half a face left.

Gong Cheng subconsciously turned his head and saw Tao Zhi behind the half-open door.

Why should I close the door when I'm just taking a cell phone?

Gong Cheng felt uneasy and stepped forward to push the door open, but Tao Zhi held the door tightly and looked at Gong Cheng through the gap.

"Why are you closing the door? What are you going to do?" Gong Cheng asked in panic.

"Small town." Tao Zhi called softly.

Gong Cheng's heart trembled when he heard the voice. The uneasiness in his heart filled his entire chest, making it difficult for him to speak.

"Even though you already know that I love you."

"But I still want to tell you that I love you."

"And happy wedding."

This is really the last time I will lie to you, Tao Zhi thought to himself.

Tears glistened in Tao Zhi's eyes. He tried hard to make his eyebrows curved, hoping that the last image of himself that Gong Cheng saw would be of him smiling.

Without waiting for Gong Cheng to react, the gap in the door was closed, until the last ray of light in the gap was blocked out, and Tao Zhi's face was immersed in darkness.

"Plot reset measures are being initiated, final countdown 60 seconds."

"60."

"59."

"58."

……

When Fanfan's voice suddenly came, Gong Cheng was startled and then he banged on the door with his eyes wide open.

"Sir! Open the door!"

"What does it mean by resetting the plot? What are you going to do?"

"Didn't you say you wouldn't lie to me again? Didn't you say you would stay with me forever and never separate again?"

"Why did you lie to me again!"

"Tao Zhi, don't do this to me. Can you please open the door? Please, don't abandon me."

"Can you please come out? We can think of a solution together. We can definitely find a solution."

"Why do you have to make the decision all by yourself? Why do you have to make the decision for me?"

"Today is our wedding, they are all waiting for us to come over, you can't do this to me."

"Is it okay if I don't want to be the protagonist anymore? I don't want anything but you."

"Come out, Tao Zhi."

Gong Cheng cried out at the top of his lungs and banged his body against the door again and again.

Tao Zhi inside the door collapsed and sat down weakly, leaning against the door, covering his eyes with his hands to suppress his uncontrollable crying. His sobs overflowed from between his fingers like a flood bursting through a dam, and his shoulders trembled violently.

"11."

"10."

"9."

……

"Tao Zhi!"

"you liar!"

"fraud!"

"Open the door!"

"How could you bear to abandon me on our wedding day!"

"Please, don't do this to me."

Gong Cheng slammed and banged on the door desperately, trying his best every time, but the door bounced open time and time again without moving a muscle.

Tears had blurred his eyes, his crying and shouting were intertwined, he looked really miserable with tears streaming down his face, his hair was messy and stuck to his cheeks, his clothes were wrinkled due to the violent ups and downs of his emotions, his body was shaking constantly with his crying and banging on the door.

His throat seemed to be strangled and his voice was hoarse, but he was still shouting in despair, each cry becoming more mournful and desperate than the last.

"3."

"2."

"At least... let me take another look at you."

"gentlemen."

"1."

After a creaking sound, the door opened a crack.

Gong Cheng pushed the door open suddenly, rushed in, rushed into the light, and saw a silhouette standing in the light.

"Small town?"

Gong Cheng staggered and looked up at the person in front of him.

"Xiaocheng, what's wrong with you?"

Gu Dongnan put down the clothes in his hands and walked towards Gong Cheng who suddenly rushed into the room, and gently held Gong Cheng's shoulders with his hands.

At this time, Gong Cheng's eyes were red and bloodshot, the tears in the corners of his eyes had not been wiped away, his breathing was very rapid, his whole body was shaking, and his hair was already wet with sweat.

"What happened? Why are you crying?" Gu Dongnan asked worriedly.

Gong Cheng stood there in a daze for a moment, and stiffly reached out his hand to wipe his face, which was covered with tears.

Why am I crying?

What was the purpose of pushing the door open?

"Are you too anxious because we are going back home? Or are you having a nightmare?"

"If you don't want to go back because of what happened in the past, you don't have to go back with me."

"It's my own business to go back to my country and start my own business. You don't need to put pressure on yourself."

"If you don't want to go back, you can stay here."

Gu Dongnan gently wiped Gong Cheng's tears.

But the tears kept flowing.

Gong Cheng frantically wiped his tears with his hands, but the more he wiped, the more tears flowed through his fingers, and the unknown emotions in his heart became more and more out of control.

Gong Cheng looked confused, with helplessness emanating from his eyes.

What happened to yourself?

Why am I crying?

What's wrong with the heart?

Why does it hurt so much?

Gong Cheng didn't understand where the tremendous pain and grievance in his chest came from. He only knew that he could hardly breathe because of the grief, and his heart felt as if it was being crushed and the pain was unbearable.

By the time I came to my senses, I was already sobbing uncontrollably, my voice suppressed and sorrowful. I was drowning in this overwhelming and inexplicable sadness, gradually being drowned by the surging emotions.

I wanted to scream, I wanted to cry out, but my hoarse throat could only make broken sobs.

What's wrong with me?

What was I going to do when I opened this door?

Am I looking for something?

Did I forget something important?

Why did I forget?

Gu Dongnan looked at Gong Cheng's painful appearance and hugged him in his arms helplessly, but he didn't know how to comfort him. He could only pat Gong Cheng's back gently and watch Gong Cheng vent his pain quietly.

The countdown ended and there was no more voice of Gong Cheng outside the door.

After crying for a while, Tao Zhi struggled to stand up, stood at the door for a long time, mustered up the courage to reach out to open the door, but found that his hand had passed through the door handle.

Tao Zhi was stunned for a moment.

"Fanfan, what's wrong with me? Am I dead?" Tao Zhi asked.

"The host itself is not dead. It is the plot that has selected the best modification plan based on the host's request to blur other people's memories of you."

"The best solution is to modify the plot deviation caused by the host. The original owner Tao Zhi is set to have died in prison in the current protagonist's return node."

"Therefore, there is no need for the host to appear in the next plot. He has temporarily left the world and exists in a void." Fanfan said.

"Since I can die directly, why did you let me complete the task of being retaliated by the protagonist and then dying?" Tao Zhi asked.

"The current plot modification is a last resort, a rescue measure for the main plot at the expense of the secondary plot." Fanfan said.

Tao Zhi felt heavy in his heart, thinking that everything he had been busy with before was really ridiculous. In the end, he was the biggest hindrance in completing the task.

Tao Zhi looked at his transparent hands and was silent for a few breaths.

"So I'm a ghost now?" Tao Zhi asked.

"In layman's terms, host, you can understand that you are now in the so-called soul state in human consciousness. You cannot be seen by others, and you cannot touch anything except the bed in the room."

"This room will be set up as a temporary waiting room. Please wait patiently for the plot to develop to its conclusion in the waiting room."

"If the two protagonists achieve a happy ending within the time limit, the mission will be declared successful. If not, the mission will fail." Fanfan said.

"Does that mean I can't leave this room until the end?" Tao Zhi asked in surprise.

"Yes." Fanfan said.

Tao Zhi was a little confused.

So now I have not only become a ghost, but also a ghost similar to the Earthbound Spirit.
