Lu Chiyan had not expected the truth to be like this.
"It's all thanks to you!" Lu Chiyan looked around excitedly, trying to find Little I, but it was still pitch black and he couldn't see anything.
Lu Chiyan shouted, "Where are you? Come out here! I want to go back, let me go back!"
Little I's voice came again, "It's no use. You're not getting out this time. For the sake of the world's stability, I'm not going to let you out. Give up on that idea!"
"Why are you locking me up here? I want to get out! Let me out!"
Lu Chiyan was agitated and ran frantically through the dark space, trying to find a way out.
It was so dark that he couldn't see any direction or what was in front of him. He ran and crashed into a transparent wall. The powerful impact sent him flying, and he fell heavily to the ground.
Lu Chiyan ignored the pain and quickly got up, ran in a different direction, only to meet the same result: he was thrown back and fell.
After trying this seven or eight times, Little I sighed and advised, "This will only hurt you. Once this space is locked, you won't be able to get out."
"Impossible! I don't believe it!" Lu Chiyan shouted defiantly. "I've been out before. You didn't lock me up last time, which proves that I can go out."
Little I said somewhat awkwardly, "Uh, well... letting you out last time was indeed a bug. So, after you left, I fixed that bug, and now you can't leave anymore. If you manage to leave this time, I'll change Little I name!"
Lu Chiyan: "..."
"Your 'I' written backwards is still 'I', isn't it?" Lu Chiyan rolled his eyes speechlessly.
Little I: Ah, this...
That seems to be the case!
Oh wait, is that the point?
Little I: "How about this, you don't need to do anything anymore, I'll make a deal with you."
Lu Chiyan was indeed quite tired from running, and he couldn't run any further. Hearing Little I say this, he sat cross-legged on the ground and asked, "Tell me what you have to say first."
" Little I, I think you're alright. Although your consciousness has awakened and you can no longer stay in this small world, I can send you to another small world and give you a different identity. As long as it doesn't affect the main storyline in that small world, you can live however you want. What do you think?"
Little I felt that the conditions he offered were already very good.
He wasn't so merciful to the other awakened ones.
He decided to go easy on Lu Chiyan simply because he found Lu Chiyan quite agreeable.
"Go to another small world? Then... is Qin Sili in this other small world?" Lu Chiyan asked.
"Of course not," Little I said. " Qin Sili is the villain of this world; he only exists in this world. Of course, he wouldn't exist in other smaller worlds."
Lu Chiyan scoffed coldly, "Then I'm not going!"
"Hey, don't be so stubborn!" Little I's tone was full of threat. "I gave you a way out, but you chose the dead end, didn't you? Do you know what the consequences are for an awakened person like you?"
"What kind of consequences?" Lu Chiyan, "To obliterate me? To make me disappear completely?"
