Soul Patch

Chapter 51 I'm Not Well

After finishing his workday, Wenjie went home and ate a quick meal. He sat down at his computer and laid out the documents he had printed at work during the day, one by one.

He picked up a piece of paper covered with densely printed small characters, enough to trigger trypophobia in anyone who glanced at it.

"The human subconscious"

Never mind… Wenjie tossed aside the paper and picked up another: “Freud’s Dream Analysis”

I watched it for ten minutes, then... oh well, never mind!

"Mind projection"

I watched it for twenty minutes straight, uh...

never mind!

These things are all too abstract. I read them entirely by sheer willpower, and as a result, I found that I forgot what I had read.

Wenjie pulled out a piece of paper and wrote "June 21, 2017" heavily with a black carbon pen.

He concentrated, staring intently at the date for a full half hour.

When I close my eyes, it seems that my mind is completely empty except for this date.

This time, Wenjie was more cautious. He set a two-hour alarm on his phone and turned on his computer's webcam, wanting to see what happened to him after activating the system's C-level mission.

The system started up quickly. After the familiar feeling of weightlessness and falling, I opened my eyes and saw him standing at the school gate saying goodbye to Lin Yufei.

"No, no, no, don't go, follow her!"

As soon as Wenjie's thought crossed her mind, Zhang Qian paused for a moment before quickly walking towards the school gate.

A few prop figures walked past Zhang Qian, all dressed in school uniforms, without faces, and even their hairstyles were the same.

As she stepped into the campus, the prop figure beside her "whooshed" into the teaching building.

So fast that you can't even see the figure, like the wind blowing by—is this Zhang Qian subconsciously fast-forwarding through time?

When Zhang Qian entered the teaching building, the classrooms inside seemed to be painted on the walls, with signs indicating doors, windows, desks, chairs, and blackboards.

She didn't look at the abstract classrooms, but walked towards the room where the noise was coming from.

It was a room located at the corner on the second floor of the teaching building, and it seemed that sobbing sounds were coming from there.

She panicked as soon as she heard that and ran to the door, kicking it frantically.

The house looks very realistic, with a black security door and a metal sign next to it that reads: Academic Affairs Office.

The door wasn't open, but she could see through it that the male teacher with the strange-looking head at the school gate was beckoning to the girl.

The girl's mouth was gagged and her head was covered.

It's Feifei!

The girl's outer garment was thrown on the ground, revealing her pink undergarments.

Those were the clothes she chose for Feifei. Feifei developed early and was afraid of being laughed at by her classmates, so she always wore those very thin and somewhat transparent styles.

Wearing the school uniform over them makes it less noticeable. Girls are still a bit shy about these sexual characteristics, especially afraid of being teased by male classmates during running in PE class.

Today, she saw that Feifei was wearing this pink dress with a small and cute pink ribbon tied into a bow in the middle. Without an outer garment, the unique softness of the girl's upper body was perfectly presented.

And that damned teacher actually had the heart to do it.

Wenjie was stunned. This... this was really different from adult films. It had a unique youthful vibe, and he felt something jelly-like inside him again.

"Hit him!" Wenjie was furious.

How dare she do such a disgusting thing in front of him? Does she not allow a thousand-year-old virgin to live?

Just as Zhang Qian picked up a chair to smash it, everything in front of her froze, and then the pixels scattered in an instant.

Zhang Qian opened her arms, trying to hug Lin Yufei tightly, but only managed to grab empty air.

Wenjie kept repeating the date Lin Yufei drowned in his mind: June 21, 2017.

Miraculously, the pixels reassembled and pieced together the image of Lin Yufei, but Lin Yufei was being held down in a bucket in the women's restroom by a well-dressed and fashionable woman.

As Lin Yufei struggled, water kept overflowing from the red plastic bucket, and slowly Lin Yufei's slender body slumped weakly beside the bucket.

As soon as the woman let go, Lin Yufei fell to the ground with a thud.

Lin Yufei, who then stopped breathing and her heartbeat, scattered like petals and disappeared into the small space of the toilet.

This is completely illogical; Wenjie is starting to have a headache.

At this moment, the woman who drowned Lin Yufei stood up straight and tidied her clothes and hair.

This is... Qin Fen?

It should be Qin Fen; she looks just like her in every way.

The woman slowly turned around, her profile revealing a striking S-shaped curve...

Damn it... Just when Wenjie was mentally prepared to face Qin Fen's beautiful face, what he saw was a blank whiteboard.

How can someone so important in this incident be stereotyped?

Oh……

Nobody knew her, nobody paid attention to her, so she was stereotyped and relegated to the ranks of ordinary people.

The woman calmly went through the sliding door into the bathroom and took off her clothes, which were soaked by the splashing water...

Is it really necessary to be so alluring? Everything in the subconscious projection is illusory and conceptual, so the toilet door is practically useless. This woman almost immediately took off her clothes in front of Wenjie and changed into clothes that had been prepared in advance in her bag.

This is not suitable for children! Wenjie raised his hand to block it, but couldn't help peeking at the woman through his fingers.

What are you standing there for?

"Snatch her purse and check if she has an ID in her wallet!"

Am I really powerless against you, you random passerby?

Zhang Qian moved her hand away from her eyes, walked directly to the toilet stall, and grabbed a large red women's handbag.

The woman, half-naked, was standing on one leg pulling up her pants when the toilet door suddenly opened and Zhang Qian grabbed her handbag.

Knowing exactly where the bag was, he grabbed it firmly, accurately, and decisively.

The woman, clutching herself, dissolved into pigment spots and scattered.

Zhang Qian quickly rummaged through her bag and found her ID card: Cheng Xiaohui.

When Zhang Qian saw the name, she screamed in surprise.

Looking at the ID card again, it had shattered into powder and was flying towards the open window of the toilet.

Not Qin Fen?

Someone framed Qin Fen!

So, does that mean Qin Fen must have been at the Sixth Middle School of M City that day?

Zhang Qian walked step by step to where Lin Yufei was lying, and knelt down and cried in anguish.

As Zhang Qian cried herself to sleep, the sky around Wenjie began to darken and the air grew thicker...

Wait... what happened to Zhang Qian in real life?

"Wake up! Wake up now!"

It darkened rapidly, and soon darkness enveloped Wenjie. From within the darkness, a faint, ethereal sound could be heard:

"Zhang Qian! Zhang Qian! Zhang Qian! Haha, she must be dead! She was crazy, then struck by lightning and crippled. Did she want to drag me down for life? This whole family is weird, one thing after another, I must have had the worst luck ever..."

The sounds of maniacal laughter and suppressed sobbing came and went, followed by a loud "bang," and the dark space where Wenjie was located became deathly silent.

exploded?

Could Lin Tao have released the gas and tried to kill himself with Zhang Qian?

What the hell...

If the patch carrier does not exit the system before the target entity dies, it will be permanently lost along with the target entity's consciousness.

The system screen flashed, and lines of data appeared against a black background:

[Patch Material 1. ***Sixth A-Rank Mission: Destruction of Life's Trajectory]

[Patch Carrier 2. ***First C-Rank Mission: Life Trajectory Destroyed]

[Patch carrier 3.*** failed system testing; life trajectory destroyed]

……

[Patch carrier 100. Zhang Hongshan violated confidentiality principles and was struck by lightning, resulting in the destruction of his life trajectory.]

[Patch Carrier 101: Wenjie's life trajectory collapses during his third C-level mission]

The system automatically stores the data from completed task 101 of patch carrier.

The progress bar started crawling forward little by little, like a snail.

Against a black background, frame by frame, Wenjie completed the system tasks: videos of Zhao Xiaolong, Yang Shanshan, the cross-dressing master, and Qin Fen flashed before Wenjie's eyes as if a fast-forward button had been pressed.

As the progress bar slowly approached 100%, Wenjie felt a fear he had never experienced before.

Is this the end for me?

He's still a virgin!

What exactly is the difference between the destruction of one's life trajectory and the collapse of one's life trajectory?

Finally, the system completed data storage, the screen went black, and Wenjie closed his eyes.

He truly regretted not sleeping with Yang Shanshan that night. Why the hell did he think so much? Who knows how long he'll live?

The system did not stop just because Wenjie closed his eyes; the images seemed to be projected directly onto Wenjie's retina, exceptionally clear.

[System detected 101 carriers with life points +1]

[Automatically activate +1 health]

[System reset begins]

……

[Ding! Soul Patch System Now Online]

[Hello, patch carrier, welcome to the Soul Patch System. First, you need to pass the system's test for patch carriers before you can bind to the system.]

Wenjie slowly opened his eyes and saw himself sitting on the bed in his apartment bedroom. Night had fallen outside the window, and the city lights were already on. The lights of the neighboring building stretched out in his eyes like a city. He covered his eyes with his hands, and something trickled down between his fingers.

No one can understand what he went through from the last second to this second.

"Get lost... Who wants to be tied to you!" Wenjie roared inwardly.

[During the system testing phase, both system startup and locking are automatically triggered.]

[Test question data retrieval has been triggered]

The scene shifts to a man walking down the street, occasionally glancing into shop windows...

What kind of test questions are these now? Why are they different every time?!

Wenjie is about to have a mental breakdown!

[Test countdown: 36 hours remaining]

[Failure of the patch carrier to complete the test will result in the destruction of the patch carrier's life trajectory.]

A life trajectory destroyed!!!

The system is no joke!!!

The "ding" startled Wenjie. What had made that sound? He looked around the room, bewildered.

Damn... it's a cell phone!

These days, even a ringing phone can scare me half to death!

The phone was still on the video recording screen. Wenjie shakily turned off the recording and went into the photo album.

The recorded video lay eerily in his photo album. He hesitated for a moment before clicking the play button: in the video, he remained sitting motionless on the bed, as if the video had frozen.

But in the end, as if possessed, he climbed onto the bedroom window and opened it...

That's 18 floors!

If you jump, you'll be smashed to pieces, won't you?

Just as he was about to leap, he closed his eyes, climbed down from the window, and sat back on the bed.

The position is exactly the same, the posture is exactly the same, as if they had never left at all.

It’s evil!

Oh, Wenjie almost forgot about WeChat. He opened it and saw a message from Yang Shanshan: "Wenjie, are you okay?"

"I'm not feeling well!" Wenjie's hands were still trembling as he typed.
