When someone tests you, the best approach is not to refute them, nor to give any affirmative or negative answer.
Instead, give the other person a questioning look first.
Then give the other person a blank look, and once the expression is right, ask a question, and finally, give a self-affirming denial.
A smooth little combo is something most ordinary people can handle.
"System?" Ling Yi looked at Qin Shuang blankly.
He then sneered and nodded, saying, "A system? I really wish I had a system, one that allows me to Revive Reincarnation repeatedly, giving me the chance to try and fail. That would already be our cheat code."
" Qin Shuang, if you had a system, what kind of system would you want?" Ling Yi asked in return.
Before Qin Shuang could answer, Ling Yi said coldly, "I want an oblivion system so that all of you will forget my existence."
"That way, I won't have to go back to your Qin Family, and I won't have to endure nearly three years of torment and humiliation."
"I lived in an orphanage. Although I lacked family affection, I was well-fed and warmly clothed, and the headmistress treated me like her own child."
" The Qin Family's kinship is like poison to me."
Qin Shuang was speechless.
[Ding! You have gained Qin Shuang's Regret Points, Regret Points +12!]
[Ding! You have gained Qin Shuang's Regret Points, Regret Points +15!]
At this moment, Qin Shuang felt incredibly guilty and wanted to explain something, but she didn't know how.
Should she tell Ling Yi that she suspects her first self, and the Qin Family, are characters in a novel, which is why they act so foolishly and maliciously, as if they've lost their minds?
Qin Shuang admits that she is not a good person. As the head of the Qin Group, she sometimes resorts to any means to achieve certain business conditions.
But he never thought of himself as a Coldblood Emotionless devil.
Qin Shuang also recalled her experiences in her previous two lives.
In her first life, she was ruthless and cruel, and bullying Qin Feng seemed to be an instinct and an inevitability.
In his second life, Qin Feng left home to start his own business, but she was still under Qin Wuyang's influence, causing Qin Feng all sorts of trouble.
However, in recalling her memories of these two lifetimes, Qin Shuang easily found the problem.
She was completely different at the Qin Family and when she was outside.
She displays completely different personalities when facing Qin Feng and when facing other people.
It's like having a split personality.
But those memories are all my own; there's no such thing as a second personality.
There must be some mysterious force at play that influenced her behavior and personality.
Aside from the novel's character settings, Qin Shuang couldn't think of anything else.
Once it's determined that these people are all characters in the novel, many things become reasonable.
Looking back at their memories from their previous two lives, the Qin Family were all villainous supporting characters.
Qin Wuyang is a scheming, manipulative villain, while the Protagonist is Qin Feng.
Qin Shuang is taking Qin Feng to the company today, mainly to test Qin Feng.
But after listening to Ling Yi's words, Qin Shuang felt that Ling Yi made sense.
Yes, Revive and Reincarnation are Qin Feng's cheat codes, and also their cheat codes.
But this cheat code is deadly.
It could push the entire Qin Family into the Abyss, an endless Abyss.
The car slowly drove out of the villa.
Once they were on the highway, Qin Shuang spoke again, "What do you think we should do to deal with Qin Wuyang?"
"He probably already guessed what's going on, and will definitely resort to underhanded tactics."
"What do you think we should do?" Ling Yi asked again.
"We can't kill him. If he dies, it means we'll all be subject to Reincarnation. The best way is to keep him under control and monitor everything he does."
Ling Yi shook his head. "The problem now isn't how to deal with Qin Wuyang. He's trash; any one of us could easily kill him."
"Are you worried about us? That we'll kill each other because of the Revive rules?" Qin Shuang asked.
"No, that's not the point. No matter what we do, if we can't break free from the rules of Revive, or rather, find a loophole in Revive rules, the outcome won't change."
"Vulnerability?"
"Yes, the vulnerability, or rather, the core of the Revive rule."
"Or, we could find that mysterious masked man and kill him outright; that would be the only way to truly solve the problem once and for all."
Qin Shuang shook her head and said, "Since that mysterious masked man can Revive Reincarnation people, I'm afraid it would be difficult for ordinary people like us to deal with him, right?"
"How will you know you can't handle it if you don't try?"
Ling Yi has a system; as long as he has enough Regret Points, it's not impossible for him to find that mysterious masked man.
Neither the first nor the second playthrough reveals the identity of the mysterious masked man.
And this world, by its very nature, is an ordinary world; apart from that mysterious masked man, there are no other signs of Transcendent power.
Therefore, the true identity of this mysterious mask is already quite obvious.
Of course, Ling Yi didn't want to confront the mysterious masked man; he just wanted to meet him.
There are certain things he wants to know, as they are important for Ling Yi's future travels to other worlds.
Ling Yi disliked this passive situation.
Whether it's time travel, the appearance of the system, or the Revive and Reincarnation in the plot, Ling Yi is always passive.
This made Ling Yi very annoyed.
The following day was rush Gao Feng, and there was a lot of traffic on the road.
Qin Shuang and her group's car was moving very slowly.
However, once we get past this section, we can pick up the speed.
The headquarters of the Qin Group, owned by the Qin Family, is not located in the city center, but in the suburbs.
It is the company headquarters developed and built by the Qin Group.
"I'll stop the car after we pass this intersection!" Qin Shuang checked the time on her phone and then looked at the road sign before speaking slowly.
"Don't turn off the engine when you park," Ling Yi reminded him.
"Why?" Qin Shuang asked, puzzled.
"Since Qin Wuyang is Revive person, can you guarantee that he will follow the original plot? If Qin Wuyang changes his plans, we should have enough time to deal with it."
"Change the plan? For example?"
"For example, just kill us!"
"How dare he?" Qin Shuang frowned.
"Why wouldn't I dare? If it were me, I definitely would. At worst, I'd just Reincarnation again; it's not like I'd really die."
"Perhaps, we can use our deaths to test the rules of Revive."
Qin Wuyang nodded. Although she didn't quite believe Qin Wuyang would do such a thing, she ultimately listened to Ling Yi's words.
After the car passed another intersection, the traffic flow indeed decreased significantly.
I found a temporary parking space and parked.
But he only stopped the car, without turning off the engine or even shifting into gear. He just kept his foot on the brake, ready to switch to the accelerator at any moment.
However, Qin Shuang opened the car window, glanced at Ling Yi with her delicate and aloof face, and then looked out the window at the passing vehicles.
" Qin Feng, I'm sorry!" The voice wasn't loud, but Ling Yi heard it clearly.
Ling Yi never expected Qin Shuang to apologize to him at this time. Was this still the same aloof and Emotionless older sister, Qin Shuang?
Upon hearing Qin Shuang say "I'm sorry," Ling Yi inexplicably felt a surge of anger rising from the depths of his heart.
This anger was like a Blazing Fire, scorching Ling Yi's heart.
This caused Ling Yi to feel an inexplicable pain in his heart.
Ling Yi knew that this was Qin Feng's memory, or rather, Qin Feng's Obsession influencing him.
Several memories involuntarily flashed through my mind.
This made Ling Yi frown.
Ling Yi possesses Qin Feng's memories, and among Qin Feng's most vivid memories is the one where Qin Shuang broke his leg.
Whenever I recall it, it feels like my shinbone is still throbbing Yinyin.
In Qin Feng's memory, Qin Shuang was an extremely aloof and domineering person. Apart from Qin Wuyang, she rarely spoke to anyone else.
However, Ling Yi still couldn't connect the Qin Shuang in his memory with the Qin Shuang in front of him.
It was as if they were completely different people.
However, Ling Yi soon realized what was going on.
This Qin Shuang has probably already transcended the plot and broken free from the influence of the Plot Rules.
To be precise, it lost the Protagonist's —or rather, the villain Qin Wuyang's— Intelligence-Lowering Aura.
In the first playthrough, apart from the villains who still have a little bit of intelligence, everyone else becomes a brainless idiot as long as they stay by Qin Wuyang's side.
Even Qin Feng himself was the same.
Who says only Protagonist have Intelligence-Lowering Aura? This villain's Intelligence-Lowering Aura is even more ferocious.
Now that Qin Shuang is no longer affected by the Intelligence-Lowering Aura, she has probably already guessed some things.
"No wonder he asked for my real name and whether I had a cheat system."
It must be said that this woman is very intelligent, or rather, she has a very keen Perception, able to grasp the key points and deduce the truth successfully.
Without Qin Wuyang's Intelligence-Lowering Aura, it's likely that not only Qin Shuang, but also the rest of the Qin Family, have noticed something amiss!
"Your apology shouldn't be to me, it should be to Qin Feng in his first life!" Ling Yi said slowly.
" Qin Feng was already dead the moment you personally broke my leg."
[Ding! You have gained Qin Shuang's Regret Points, Regret Points +12!]
[Ding! You have gained Qin Shuang's Regret Points, Regret Points +15!]
Qin Shuang bit her lip, her face somewhat pale.
The further away Qin Wuyang was from Qin Shuang, the more guilty she felt. Every time she recalled what she had done to Qin Feng in her first life, her heart ached.
Qin Shuang was well aware that Qin Wuyang was still influencing the Qin Family and them.
However, Qin Feng is also influencing the Qin Family and its Qin Family.
However, Qin Wuyang's influence is decreasing, while Qin Feng's influence is increasing.
Or rather, Qin Shuang now feels like she finally has a human touch.
"What if I said that I wasn't myself back then, and that everything I did wasn't my true intention?" Qin Shuang turned to look at Ling Yi and said.
"Let's talk about that later, we're in trouble right now." Ling Yi pointed ahead.
Three black vans quickly approached Qin Shuang and her group's car.
In the blink of an eye, they stopped in front of them and surrounded their car.
Then a dozen or so people got out of the van, each holding a short knife, and approached the vehicle.
Qin Shuang and Ling Yi exchanged a glance. "Sure enough, everything is different now. That Qin Wuyang guy actually wants to kill us."
What do we do now?
"Don't resist, go see our good brother," Ling Yi said calmly.
"Good!"
The two got out of the car at the same time and then raised their hands.
