Chapter 142 The Useless Prince's Power Seizure (20)
[6058: This is a time-traveling rescue system.]
This system, like the first world, is a counterfeit of the observer system.
The original body of this little palace maid had accidentally fallen into the water while playing with the little princess the day before. When she came out of the water, her soul had been replaced.
According to the analysis of 6058, the task prepared for this time traveler by the rescue system is to get close to Yu An, warm Yu An's heart, untie his knot, and take him away from the palace.
From this perspective, the methods used by the mastermind in this world are not much different from before. They are wary of Yu An and worried that taking direct action would bring about changes, so they remain roundabout and conservative in their dealings with Yu An.
This also gave Jingli and 6058 a little breathing space.
[6058: There's only this one system in this world right now. It seems Yu An's recent changes have caught their attention.]
[6058: But they actually dared to throw the system in?]
The counterfeit system in the first world was completely destroyed by 6058, yet they didn't even realize it. I don't know whether to call them stupid or arrogant.
[Jingli: The fact that there's only one system suggests that this is likely just an emergency measure, a vanguard.]
[6058: That's right. As long as we keep this advance force in check, we can create the illusion that everything is under control for them along this line.]
Jingli and 6058 reached an agreement within the system and then got busy with their respective tasks.
In the first world, 6058 was afraid of alerting the enemy, so the action of removing the system was carried out in a unified manner after the Security Bureau had captured all those pawns. Before that, 6058 had only captured these systems and acted as an intermediary to cut off the signals on both sides.
But in this world, 6058 has a new idea.
He first captured the system on the little palace maid, and then transferred some of the remaining energy in the system to Jingli.
Through her learning in the previous world, Jingli has been able to use her energy to capture some spirits and store them in the Soul Nourishing Talisman.
Coincidentally, the binding of this counterfeit system is also related to the soul.
Jingli only needs to use the trace of energy extracted from 6058 to extract the soul of the transmigrator from the body of the little palace maid.
In this way, the connection between the system and the soul will not be severed, and people outside the world will no longer be able to control people within the world through the system.
However, the original form of the little palace maid would also be affected to some extent.
The fact that she was taken over by a time traveler only shows that she was likely to die in the water that time.
6058 still left a trace of energy from the system to help stabilize her soul; the rest was up to her.
In this way, being sent out of the palace might not be a bad thing.
After all, who knows whether her falling into the water was an accident or intentional?
·
Consort Yingyue acted swiftly, arranging for the young palace maid to be sent outside the palace that very afternoon. She had been chosen from among her mother's children, so returning would simply be a return to where she started.
At night, the young palace maid lay in bed, anxiously tapping on the system.
[What should we do? We don't know when we'll be able to go back to the palace after this trip. System, do you think it's possible for Yu An to leave the palace?]
Ugh, what a waste! I haven't even used the amazing voice-enhancing product I bought yet!
That Third Prince is so stingy! I'm sure he'll just be cannon fodder.
6058 originally wanted to interact with her, but after hearing this, she instantly lost her nerve.
[6058: Let's get started.]
The young palace maid asked, "How should we proceed?"
Then, the little palace maid, or rather, the transmigrator, felt a dizzying sensation as she watched herself being pulled out of the little palace maid's body, and then watched as the little palace maid opened her eyes again, looking in her direction with eyes full of resentment.
Then, it was as if she had entered a time tunnel; everything around her flashed by so quickly that she felt dizzy.
"Huh? It's not a child."
The transmigrator felt nauseous, but she clearly hadn't adapted to her new soul form and couldn't vomit anything.
She weakly raised her head, looked at the person in front of her, and exclaimed in surprise, "It's you!"
How did that prince, whom she thought was cannon fodder, end up here? And why is he getting bigger and bigger?
No, she's getting smaller!
Jingli condensed a layer of energy around the transmigrator's soul to prevent her from being affected by the shadowy figure due to excessive emotional fluctuations. Then, he softly uttered something, and with a flick of his finger, the transmigrator's soul body shrank to the size of a palm.
"Where did you come from? And how did this system become linked to you?"
The time traveler was already intimidated by Jing Li's actions, and upon hearing Jing Li's question, he even began to tremble slightly.
When she woke up and was bound to the system, she thought she was the chosen one. She never expected that someone in this world could see through her system and even pull her out of her original body.
Just what kind of monster is this person?!
Looking at the magnified version of the child's face in front of him, the time traveler couldn't muster any thoughts of resistance. He felt a physiological urge to cry—if he could shed tears.
"I... I'm not from this world. I just got bound to the system, and I haven't done anything yet, except fly that kite..."
Jingli nodded and then asked, "What happened to you in your original world?"
The transmigrator shook his head frantically: "I just took a nap and had a dream where Yu An was the male protagonist of this world, and then I transmigrated. The system said that Yu An's current 'darkening value' is very high, and my mission is to eliminate his 'darkening value,' gain his favor, and then take him away from this palace..."
[6058: She wasn't lying.]
Jingli nodded again.
Do you want to go back? Back to your original world?
The time traveler suddenly looked up: "Is it okay?"
She had read many novels and thought that this kind of time travel was irreversible. She spent several minutes preparing herself mentally and had just started the mission with a carefree attitude when Jingli caught her red-handed.
She was on the verge of collapse when she was kicked out of the palace today, fearing that she would be erased by the system.
Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better.
Her original life wasn't that bad. If she could go back, who would want to live a life of ignominy in this strange world?
"Sure, come in, take a nap, and you'll be able to go back."
With a wave of his hand, Jingli conjured a Soul Nourishing Talisman.
The talisman paper contained the energy of the scene, and since the transmigrator was currently in a soul state, the energy of the scene made her feel very comfortable.
She hesitated for a moment, then took a step forward and said to Jingli, "You can't lie to me, okay? You won't kill me, will you? I still have my mom, dad, and brother at home. I really want to go back. I'm a kind person, I haven't done anything bad..."
She talks a lot; 6058 just noticed that.
"Don't worry," Jingli said patiently.
The time traveler hesitated for a moment, then closed his eyes and strode toward the Soul Nourishing Talisman.
Her figure quickly merged with the Soul Nourishing Talisman, and once inside, she would begin a long dream.
Every world is still in chaos right now, and Jingli can't guarantee that he can send her back. He can only wait for everything to be resolved.
The Soul Nourishing Talismans were converted into cards and stored in the Observer System. 6058 has also completed the Counterfeit System.
[6058: Little Fish, I've temporarily transferred the progress bar of this transmigration system to you.]
As soon as he finished speaking, Jingli heard a mechanical announcement.
[Mission Objective: Yu An]
[Darkness Level: 97/100, First Stage Target: 80]
[Affection Level: 54/100, First Stage Goal: 100 (Note: Affection level cap will increase as the mission progresses)]
[Congratulations, host, you have completed more than half of the favorability task and have earned 500 coins, which can be used to purchase items in the system shop.]
[Would you like to activate the system store?]
Jingli: ?
6058: The smile gradually brightened.
