Chapter 505: Chapter 497 【Baby, Let Me Explain—】
Qian Qi from Bright Orphanage.
A girl who diligently maintains the orphanage and dares to face any authority.
[You’ve got quite the luck.] The system said: [It detects that this world is about to be engulfed by a terrifying extraterrestrial invasion, perhaps, compared to that, this place might be safer for her.]
"Then let her be it."
Qian Qi said, brushing over the profile of this girl on the panel, feeling a sense of familiarity that vanished the next moment.
The scene before her shifted.
She deliberately lured Zhang Miao Miao, who was jealous and fearful of her, into framing her, swallowing a magic potion that temporarily suppressed her second spiritual power. She then went to the back mountain and slit her throat with the Fire Qilin Lotus.
As that golden soul from the otherworld poured into her body, the three spiritual powers began to clash with each other.
The red spiritual power transformed into a blade, greedily and violently attempting to erode the gold coin-like golden spiritual power and the sword-like white spiritual power. In the sea of consciousness, it was invincible; the weak golden coin could only dodge and hide, while the powerful white sword tried its best to clash against the red blade, causing ripples that made the tiny golden coin shudder constantly, ready to shatter at any moment.
The side effect of the magic potion was strong, and Qian Qi’s face twisted and contorted, the spiritual power manifesting on her face, making her cry, laugh, and turn madly violent as if her skin was about to tear, a gentle tug would cause it to come off. She rolled on the ground, letting out endless howls and screams.
Under the near-mutually-destructive impact of the white sword, the red blade eventually weakened, yet was still far stronger than the white sword. As the white sword was nearly unable to hold on, a white soul light suddenly merged with the sword, expanding it several times over.
So what if there’s a second personality.
A soul is only one.
And it chose the first personality.
The white spiritual power, fused with the soul, struck at the red blade with unstoppable momentum, devouring and weakening it. The overwhelming red light dimmed, but just as the red spiritual power was about to be completely eradicated, the red blade seemed to reset, returning to its initial might.
It gazed at the white sword, whose soul light was gradually dimming, seemingly letting out a cold laugh as if saying: Know your limits.
"Know your limits."
At that moment, a sinister ghostly voice of a woman echoed, like a ghostly bell suddenly ringing in the dead of night, horrifying and shocking.
The white sword abruptly emitted an eye-piercing bloodthirsty red light, sinister enough to make one shiver.
Lying in pain on the ground, Qian Qi suddenly looked up with a face twisted to a frightening level, a pair of huge blood-red eyes staring straight in a certain direction, like a vengeful ghost seeking retribution, terrifying and shocking.
The red lips skewed to her forehead curled into an extremely bizarre and playful smile.
"Found you."
The red sword suddenly turned into a red blade, shattering that counterfeit red spiritual power into powder, then shooting straight out from Qian Qi’s body, striking into the forehead of the A-grade phantom beast.
The A-grade phantom beast didn’t even have time to let out a dying wail before it instantly lost all signs of life, collapsing on the ground as a corpse.
"Hmm..."
Qian Qi woke up from her coma, her face intact but with blood-red eyes that were terrifyingly red. She scratched her helmet, looking at the dead phantom beast on the ground.
"What the heck? An operation as fierce as a tiger, and in the end, it triggered my second spiritual power? You beasts are quite awesome!"
Phantom beast’s corpse: ...
System: ...
[What did you see?] The system pondered uncertainly, wondering if the residual consciousness of "Qian Qi" was encountering the contents of an Illusion Realm or a mental invasion and attack.
The appearance of "Qian Qi" had no pattern. After all, "its" existence was already a miracle. The system, lacking relevant data, was still exploring.
"I..." This time, Qian Qi appeared more dominant in consciousness. She glanced at the system, smiling, "I saw it, I was calling you trash."
System: ???
Go away, duck!
In this world, only Qian Qi would dare call it trash, hateful, hateful, hateful!
[Did you see that you encountered a life-threatening situation, and I couldn’t bring out the Golden Finger to save you?] The system asked dubiously, not believing that an A-grade phantom beast’s Illusion Realm would be so straightforward.
"Something like that, but not entirely." Qian Qi said calmly.
Something like that? The system racked its brains for a moment, then asked: [Did you see your lover face a life-threatening situation, and I couldn’t bring out the Golden Finger to save your lover?]
Qian Qi: ?
It seems she doesn’t have a lover yet, right? Her only lover is money!
"I also saw you bound to that Qian Qi." Qian Qi walked towards the phantom beast’s corpse. The real appearance of this phantom beast was not a cute little beast but rather a white ape about the height of an adult, which she shoved expressionlessly into the system’s mouth, "I also saw you extract my soul onto her."
...
...
...
System: (((;꒪ꈊ꒪;)))
System: [Baby, let me explain——]
Qian Qi: "Trash system, I don’t want to hear it."
System: [It’s not like you think!]
Qian Qi: "You usually call me a pervert when you’re guilty; when you’re feeling guilty, you call me sweetie, and you say you’re not a trash system?"
System: [I really didn’t intend to kill you——]
Qian Qi: "Oh, as I expected, I was killed by you."
System: !!!
System: [No! In fact, your heart was already under heavy load. Dying young was only a matter of time! Not to mention, your world is already being invaded by extraterrestrial forces, and with your physical condition, there’s no way you could awaken your superpower! So rather than dying there, it’s better to be reborn here!]
Qian Qi paused in stuffing the body. She lowered her eyes slightly, "Then... what about them?"
She actually knew, after years of sleeplessness and overwork, her heart could no longer take it.
But she...still wanted to stay in that world a few more days, to be with the director mother and the older brothers and sisters...
[Their constitution is pretty good; they could awaken their superpowers, at least to have self-protection ability.]
The system looked at Qian Qi: [If you stayed, you’d definitely feel you were dragging everyone down, then secretly leave them at night to live on your own, right?]
But in a world invaded by extraterrestrials, how many days can one without superpowers survive?
So, she was the best choice.
The system was right. If she really stayed in the original world, as a burden, she’d leave the orphanage without hesitation.
"Why are you so nervous?" Qian Qi put on a smile again, "I’m not blaming you."
The system looked at her face, which was smiling insincerely: ...
Trust her ghost words.
"As long as you compensate me with some benefits." Qian Qi added, rubbing her little finger with a greasy tone.
The system: It knew it!
It knew that this money-grubber would take the opportunity to make an exorbitant demand!
[Alright, alright, I’ll compensate you.] After all, it did hide many secrets, [What else did you see?]
Surely she didn’t see it conspiring with "Qian Qi" about that... did she?
Although compared to soul extraction, that seemed much less important, but indeed a bit shameless to say...
"Yes, I did." Qian Qi cleared her throat, then raised an orchid finger, mimicking: "Oh, jor, oh, summah~ welcome to the Savior’s world~"
System: ...
System: Aaaaargh——!
Don’t mimic those adolescent lines!
And who said oh jor, oh summah! Don’t randomly insert weird lines!
