Endless void...
"Where... am I...?"
Mo Xing floated there, opening his eyes and looking around at the space with confusion.
"Wasn't I watching the release event announcing the premiere date for Super God Academy 3: Thunderous Might? How did I end up here in the blink of an eye?"
Mo Xing was truly baffled...
The Super God Academy series had always been an anime he followed, and today was the premiere date announcement event for Super God Academy 3.
Thinking that Super God Academy 3 was about to air, Mo Xing could not help but grow excited.
An excited heart, trembling hands...
Especially after hearing Liang Bing call out "Rose" in the trailer, Mo Xing had become even more thrilled!
Liang Bing was coming back!
Did that mean Kesha and He Xi would be returning as well?
Throughout the entire Super God Academy and Super God Academy series, the Three Kings had an enormous number of fans!
It was no exaggeration to say that each of the Three Kings had a fanbase comparable to Angel Yan's!
And Angel Yan had the title: "North of the Milky Way, Yan is the most beautiful!"
One could imagine how many netizens had been thrilled by this news!
Mo Xing was one of them!
Back then, when Kesha was blown up and He Xi and Liang Bing entered black holes one after another, countless netizens had been heartbroken.
Some netizens had even said that if the Three Kings were not revived, they would send the director some "local specialties."
And now, in Super God Academy 3, the wishes of countless netizens were finally about to come true!
However...
Mo Xing looked at his transparent hands and the pitch-black space around him, then lowered his head in dejection...
Clearly, Mo Xing had realized that he was already dead.
As for how he had died, even he did not know.
Not only that, he had no idea where this place was.
What troubled Mo Xing most was that Super God Academy 3 was about to air, yet he had died...
How cruel was this to Mo Xing...
He had been on the verge of seeing the Three Kings he had longed for return, yet he had left first...
After wallowing for a while, Mo Xing looked at the dark space around him, at a complete loss for what to do.
"Come to think of it, where exactly is this? Even if I'm dead, shouldn't someone at least take me to reincarnate?"
"Why is it pitch-black all around? What the hell is going on when there's nothing here?!!!"
Mo Xing was extremely agitated now.
Humans were social creatures by nature. If someone were made to live alone in an enclosed, dark space, it would not take long before they were driven mad!
Because such an environment was even more terrifying than solitary confinement!
After all, someone still brought food to a solitary cell, but where Mo Xing was now, there was no light whatsoever beyond endless darkness.
And the only source of light was his own transparent soul body!
How could Mo Xing possibly accept that...
"Ahem..."
Just as the last of Mo Xing's sanity was about to completely dissipate, a voice rang out.
"Ahem, well..."
"Hello, human..."
Mo Xing's eyes suddenly lit up as he shouted back, "Who is it? Come out right now and tell me where this place is!"
The moment Mo Xing finished speaking, a ball of light appeared before him.
The instant Mo Xing saw that ball of light, he became excited.
"A system?"
After hearing Mo Xing call it that, the ball of light fell silent for a moment, then flashed twice in acknowledgment.
Seeing that, Mo Xing became even more delighted. "Haha, I hit the jackpot! I never thought I'd actually run into a system!"
"Tell me, what kind of system are you? Did you cause me to end up like this? And can you send me back?"
"And are you going to bind with me and lead me to the pinnacle of life? Come on, then. I'm ready!"
With that, Mo Xing spread his arms wide, looking as though he were ready to welcome the system into his embrace.
After hearing Mo Xing's questions and seeing him like that, the ball of light said somewhat guiltily, "Well... y-you're not my host, and I can't take you back..."
Hearing that, Mo Xing stared at the ball of light before him with a grim expression.
"So my death really was connected to you, wasn't it?"
Of course Mo Xing had seen situations like this before!
Although he had only encountered them in web novel plots, Mo Xing had never imagined that such a thing would happen to him!
As an IT shut-in, he had read plenty of web novels. So from the moment the system appeared, Mo Xing had prepared himself for the possibility that he had died unjustly!
The reason was that the system had not appeared at first, only revealing itself when he was on the verge of breaking down!
"Well... I'm terribly sorry. It was my mistake that caused you to..."
"Heh~"
Listening to the ball of light's timid voice, Mo Xing gave a cold snort. Then he crossed his arms and stared directly at it.
"You should know about my situation, right?"
Mo Xing said coldly, "I'm not an orphan. Although I'm not an only child, I'm the only boy in my family. Letting me die like this is practically cutting off my family line!"
The low, chilling tone made the ball of light visibly tremble twice.
Mo Xing was right. Though he was not an only child, he truly was the only boy in his family.
Truthfully, not everyone wanted to transmigrate, because not everyone had no attachments to the world they were born into!
His family had been perfect, yet this system before him had caused him to die unjustly!
From what it had said earlier, he could no longer return. Not only that, he was not even its host.
How could Mo Xing not be angry!
If this system had come to bind with him, then perhaps with its help, even if he truly transmigrated, he might still have been able to return to his original world someday.
But now, that "someday" had been cut off!
Meanwhile, inside the ball of light, a little girl trembled as she muttered to herself, "What should I do? If... finds out, then my consciousness will definitely be erased, and I'll be sent back to the factory..."
"It's all because I was careless. I found the wrong host and even destroyed a family. I... what am I supposed to do..."
Mo Xing watched the ball of light flicker between brightness and dimness, a cold smile curling onto his lips.
He knew the system before him would not bind with him. In that case, it had to compensate him for his current state. Otherwise, it would certainly suffer some kind of punishment!
Did it really think I'd spent over a decade reading web novels for nothing? Next comes the so-called negotiation phase!
"Even if you're a system, since you got me into this state, I'm going to peel a layer off you no matter what!"
"Enough. Stop playing dead. Tell me, how are you planning to handle me?"
"Or rather, how do you plan to compensate me?"
Mo Xing stared fixedly at the ball of light that had stopped flashing, ready to make an outrageous demand.
