The system hiding in the consciousness space trembled.He didn't expect Cheng Lang to notice something was wrong so quickly.After being silent for a long while, he could only reply resignedly: "The character Qin Mu has indeed awakened his self-awareness."

Cheng Lang cursed secretly.I couldn't help but uttered a swear word in my heart.

He knew that the system was quiet, and he must be acting as a demon.But he didn't expect that the system would release such a big move in order to trick him.

It is simply to injure the enemy eight hundred and self-injure one thousand.

Cheng Lang gave Qin Mu a sad look.

As mentioned above, Cheng Lang is a task performer.His job is to travel to the world of novels where various plot lines have deviated, and try to pull back the deviated plots, so that the ending of the story will happen as set in the novel.Make sure the world of fiction can keep going.

Usually, there are two reasons why accidents such as plot line deviations occur in a novel world.One is the interference of external forces.That is, the smuggler uses methods that cannot be detected by the system to possess the characters. Because he is unwilling to follow the story set in the original book and complete his life step by step, he has to stand up and resist.To explain it in a simple way, it means that outsiders wear books.

Another reason is the awakening of the character's self-awareness.Because he was dissatisfied with the plot arranged by the original work, he gradually awakened his consciousness in the reincarnation of the story for many years.In order to avoid repeating those miserable lives in countless reincarnations, I want to stand up and resist.End this miserable fate.Commonly known as character rebirth.

But no matter what the reason is, as long as it affects the normal operation of the novel world, according to the judgment of the system, it is a bug that affects the normal operation of the program and needs to be actively removed.Therefore, in addition to maintaining the normal operation of the world line, the mission executor also shoulders the important task of obliterating the awakened consciousness—that is, obliterating other book piercers or reborn people.In addition, in order to protect the normal operation of its own world, the world line will also actively remove BUG.

For example, Shen Huaiyu, the target of Cheng Lang's mission this time, is a bug that has awakened his subconscious mind.It's just because of Shen Huaiyu's special status as the protagonist of the novel world, his suicide will directly affect the ending of the story and the normal operation of the world line.So neither the world line nor the system dared to easily erase the consciousness of the original owner, Shen Huaiyu.The only way to maintain the normal operation of the world line is to arrange supporting roles to assist Shen Huaiyu to complete the plot line.

However, because Shen Huaiyu has suffered from severe depression under the long-term torture of the plot, outsiders cannot resolve the suicidal tendency, so no matter how hard the task executor tries to fulfill the plot line, at the end of the story, Shen Huaiyu will still go to suicide. road.

Until Cheng Lang crossed over, he didn't pay attention to the plot line at all, but actively helped Shen Huaiyu establish a career line, and worked hard to live his own life well.The original actor who kept wanting to commit suicide in the reincarnation line of the story finally let go of the idea of ​​suicide.At least so far, I am still happily studying milk tea!

This is also an important reason why the system is not in a hurry to urge Cheng Lang to complete the plot line.Because they detected that Shen Huaiyu's mental state was improving.According to this progress, I believe that by the end of the story, Shen Huaiyu will definitely not commit suicide.Then the world line will not collapse.As long as the world line works well, this task is considered complete.

——Just like in fairy tales, every novel will only write about the prince and princess living happily ever after.As for what happened to everyone after being together, not everyone will care.

So Cheng Lang only needs to arrange for Shen Huaiyu and Lu Chengxuan to go to the finale set in the original book.As for after the finale, there will be any stories of obedience and injustice, as long as it does not affect the normal operation of the world line.I believe no one will interfere with his approach.

Because of this, Cheng Lang always felt that this task was very easy.It's even so easy that he still has time to develop a "world romance", find a supporting role who is eye-catching and won't affect the plot line to talk about a sweet love.When the task is over, you can leave with a pat on the butt.

But Cheng Lang never expected that Qin Mu would awaken his self-awareness.

Leaving aside the common sense of tasks such as the obliteration of supporting roles in consciousness awakening, Cheng Lang is even more curious about why Qin Mu was born with self-awareness.

Thinking of this, Cheng Lang paused, thinking of the car accident that Qin Mu couldn't find out no matter how hard he checked, he suddenly came back to his senses: "So it's not the first time Qin Mu has awakened his self-awareness. That car accident—"

Hearing Cheng Lang's question, the system was inexplicably guilty, and bit the bullet and said, "That's right. That car accident was arranged by the world consciousness."

The original world is developed based on the emotional lines of the two male protagonists, Lu Chengxuan and Shen Huaiyu.According to the original setting, Qin Mu is just Lu Chengxuan's white moonlight.But the existence of this Bai Yueguang is too good, and it has faintly affected the perfect character design of Gong Gong in the original book.That's why the world consciousness wants to obliterate Qin Mu's existence, maintain the aura of the protagonist in the original book, and ensure the normal operation of the world line.

But Qin Mu is an alternative who is excellent enough to affect the hero's halo, even if his existence is just an alien outside the main plot line, the spiritual power of this character is also very strong.Regardless of his wishes, the World Consciousness repeatedly forcibly erased him, causing Qin Mu to gradually develop unwilling resentment.And this kind of resentment has become more solidified and thicker in the tempering of reincarnation again and again.Until Cheng Lang inadvertently rescued him from the car accident arranged by the world consciousness, his strong desire to survive finally found a breakthrough.And this subconscious desire to survive was transformed into an admiration for Cheng Lang at Qin Mu's own will.

Just like a drowning man finally found the last piece of driftwood, that's why Qin Mu held Cheng Lang tightly.Because his subconscious mind has realized that Cheng Lang is different from other "people" he has come into contact with.Cheng Lang has the ability to pull him out of the abyss that imprisoned him.

Cheng Lang's face was livid.He did have a way to save Qin Mu.Task performers of their level have accumulated countless task allowances and employee benefits because they have cleared too many levels.They can even make a request to the system to tailor a lover that is exclusively for them.

Many of Cheng Lang's colleagues did this in the past.They think that long-term life is too lonely, so they want to customize a lover who completely suits their preferences, and accompany them to do the next task.Or they found "true love" during the mission, and spent a lot of mission allowance to redeem their lover from the mission world.From now on, we can be together forever.

Cheng Lang had always scoffed at this approach.Whether it is spending a lot of money to customize a lover, or paying a lot of money to redeem someone from the mission world, in Cheng Lang's view, it is an act of asking for trouble.Because people's preferences are not static.The person you like now may not necessarily like you in the future.Even if you live a hundred years, there is still the so-called seven-year itch.Who can guarantee that the lover he customized or the true love now is the true love of eternal life?

Now spend a lot of money to customize your lover, what will you do when you don't love it?Can you still plug your lover back into the system and replace it with another one?

Rather than being so troublesome, it's better to find a pleasing partner directly in the mission world.Wait until the task is over, pat your ass and leave.There will be no guilt about abandoning each other.

But Cheng Lang never thought that the character he wanted to maintain a relationship with for the first time on a whim would be a mutant who had awakened his self-awareness.

The front foot is still sweetly going to bed and falling in love, and the back foot is directly obliterating other people's consciousness and restoring the factory settings or something.Even Cheng Lang's essence, Haiwang scum, was not so cruel.Even letting him watch Qin Mu continue to fall under the obliteration of world consciousness, Cheng Lang couldn't do it.

No matter how you put it, he is also someone who has been with him for a whole world!

Cheng Lang sighed in difficulty.Haven't figured out how to arrange Qin Mu's ending yet.

The system huddled in a corner, and proposed anxiously: "You can bring him back to the system space. As his guide, let him become a new task executor. In this way, you can share the allowance for his task."

Cheng Lang sneered.He doesn't mind bringing characters who have awakened world consciousness to the system space and training them to be task performers.But what Cheng Lang cared about was Qin Mu's thoughts.He is well aware of how clingy and difficult Qin Mu is.I don't want to be followed by such a small tail forever after returning to the system space.

Besides, he crazily ridiculed his colleagues for customizing their lovers and even redeeming them from the system.Now I have to do the same...

Cheng Lang's knee hurts, and he already thought how those colleagues would laugh at him when the task was over.

"Then, then erase his consciousness." The system continued: "It's not the first time you've done this anyway."

Cheng Lang secretly glared at the system.If he could really calm down, he wouldn't be so entangled.

Neither this nor that.The system had no choice but to say: "Then you can let it go. When the mission is over, you can leave directly, and he can do whatever he likes!"

Cheng Lang didn't speak.He came back to his senses and glanced at Qin Mu.The other party was feeling uneasy because of Cheng Lang's sudden change of expression.There was a bit of solemnity on the expressionless face, and a pair of dark and clear eyes were wide open, like a frightened snow leopard.

Cheng Lang couldn't help but hugged him.After imagining the tragic end of the other party being wiped out by the world consciousness again and again after he left, Cheng Lang's breath suddenly stopped.

"If Qin Mu's awakened self-awareness is allowed to be obliterated by the world again and again. According to Qin Mu's aptitude, when his resentment accumulates to a certain level, he will mutate into a rebel. It will be very detrimental to the stability and harmony of the system space." Cheng Lang I found an excuse for myself, and said secretly: "I remember that if the task executor wants to exercise the right of a guide, and doesn't want newcomers to remember him, he can clear the memory of the character. Right?"

The system was silent for a while, and said strangely: "It can be done."

But usually no one chooses to do that.Because it also costs a huge amount of money to redeem people from the story world.Quest runners spend a lot of money to bring character awareness out of the quest world.Usually it's because you love the other person very much, or appreciate the other person's ability and heart.Want to bet and invest on the other side.Develop downlines to earn task allowances.

In this case, of course, the closer the relationship between the two people, the better.How could it be possible to spend another huge amount of money to erase the memory of the other party.

The system felt that Cheng Lang's idea was really weird.
