The End of the World: I am a rent collector in a shelter

Chapter 177: Sacrifice Begins

"Ji Wanwan——"

The ethereal voice in my ears seemed unreal.

Ji Wanwan asked in a daze: "Who?"

“I am the system.”

The sounds in her ears gradually became clearer, and Ji Wanwan's consciousness gradually returned, but the floating feeling was still there, and her consciousness still had not returned to her body.

There seemed to be a shadow moving in front of her eyes, but Ji Wanwan couldn't see clearly: "System?"

It seemed that the system had never called her by her name before, and always just called her the host. Why did it change its tone today?
"it's me."

Along with the sound, a ray of light appeared in the chaotic world in front of Ji Wanwan, and the vague shadow gradually became clear.

Seeing the system in front of him speaking clearly, Ji Wanwan was stunned: "Are you the system?"

The girl in front of her, who looked exactly like her but had a completely different expression, smiled gently: "It's me."

Under Ji Wanwan's shocked and stunned gaze, the girl slowly approached her and raised her hand to gently stroke her cheek: "Don't be afraid, don't be nervous, I am the system, and I am also you."

Ji Wanwan was full of confusion, but not the slightest bit of fear.

Not only because the girl in front of her looked exactly like her, but also because she could feel kindness in her eyes.

She relaxed her body, letting herself drift in the chaos like the sea: "You are me?"

No matter where she wanders, the system will always follow her like a shadow: "Yes, I am your obsession, your unwillingness, and your hope."

Along with the system's words, everything from her previous life appeared before Ji Wanwan's eyes.

All these things flashed before her eyes quickly like a movie.

After the end of the world came, she struggled desperately, but ultimately could not escape a tragic death.

She was unwilling and regretful, but she never gave up hope of living. Before she died, what she wanted to do most was to go back to the past and hug her parents and the stars again.

Ji Wanwan's figure is reflected in the system's eyes. She is Ji Wanwan, so she understands all of Ji Wanwan's grievances and sadness.

She looked at Ji Wanwan with eyes full of heartache: "Wanwan, Bai Ze is not only the Zombie King, he is also the son of luck in this world. As long as he wants, this world can change because of him. You are the little fish he deliberately let go. As long as he wants, he can catch you back at any time."

Ji Wanwan knew that she was able to be reborn only because an unintentional action in her previous life aroused Bai Ze's interest.

Bai Ze can give her a chance to start over, and he can also take it all back. They are not on the same level, and fighting him is like hitting a rock with an egg. But if she really has to give up, she will feel very unwilling to do so.

She smiled bitterly: "Is there really no way to compete with him?"

Maybe giving in is really the best option.

As long as she can be a good little fish in Bai Ze's fish tank and continue to make him happy, at least she can protect herself and the relatives and friends she cares about.

But is this still the world she wants?

In a world like this, what's the point of surviving?

System: "Wanwan, do you know the relationship between Bai Ze and Wang Youde?"

Ji Wanwan shook her head: "I don't know."

The system continued: "Bai Ze is an ancient auspicious beast that can speak, understand the feelings of all things, and know the affairs of ghosts and gods. It only appears when the king is virtuous and can eliminate all evil spirits in the world." Ji Wanwan suddenly realized: "The king is virtuous... the king is virtuous... the king is virtuous!! So Wang Youde is Bai Ze, and Bai Ze is also Wang Youde!"

The system nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, Bai Ze has gathered all the evil energy in the world, while Wang Youde is just the opposite. Bai Ze and Wang Youde coexist. When the filthy energy in this world becomes stronger, Bai Ze will become the master of the body, and vice versa."

Ji Wanwan was a little puzzled: "Then why can Bai Ze switch to Wang Youde at any time without being affected?"

The system explained: "Because Bai Ze's mental power is strong enough, it is strong enough to completely suppress Wang Youde, leaving Wang Youde with no room for resistance and can only let him control him."

Ji Wanwan thought for a while and asked again: "If I can gain a chance for Wang Youde's mental strength to resist, will we be able to defeat Bai Ze?"

The system nodded: "Yes, but it's difficult."

Ji Wanwan lowered her eyes.

Of course she knew it was difficult, but as long as there was a glimmer of hope, she should fight for it, right?

Ji Wanwan's eyes lit up with hope: "System, do you know what to do?"

The system smiled faintly, with a hint of determination in its eyes.

Ji Wanwan noticed the change in her eyes and was slightly startled: "Will I have to pay a terrible price? Will you disappear...?"

The system smiled carefreely: "You are very smart, and you have always been so smart."

Ji Wanwan felt sad, but couldn't shed a tear in the chaos.

The system saw her sadness and comforted her: "Don't be sad for me, because I am you. My disappearance is just returning to the place where I originally belonged."

After a long silence, Ji Wanwan uttered a few words with difficulty: "What should I do?"

The system held Ji Wanwan's hand and said, "I will sacrifice myself to temporarily increase your mental power tenfold. At the moment of the increase, you will comprehend all the supernatural powers that Bai Ze possesses, but it can only last for ten seconds. Wanwan, you only have ten seconds to defeat Bai Ze."

"Ten seconds?!" Ji Wanwan was shocked for a moment, but quickly accepted the reality.

The gap between her and Bai Ze can be described as a chasm. The ten seconds the system can buy for her is already the limit, and she should be content.

She held the system's hand with her backhand: "System, thank you..."

The system touched Ji Wanwan's hair comfortingly: "Come on, Wanwan, you can do it!"

As the words fell, the system gradually became blurred.

Ji Wanwan felt the white little hand in her palm being pulled away little by little, and her heart began to ache uncontrollably.

The pain gradually spread to all parts of the body.

The body feels more solid, and there is a light, fresh cedar scent between the wings of the nose, which is particularly comfortable, and even the physical discomfort is well relieved.

Slowly, Ji Wanwan was finally able to control her body. She slowly opened her eyes, and what came into view were the man's charming peach blossom eyes, as stunning as ever, but they made her breathing stop for a moment and her whole body tense up.

Ji Wanwan sat up almost instinctively and raised her hand to push away the man who was holding her, no, the male zombie king.

"Tsk..." Bai Ze frowned unexpectedly, feeling a little hurt: "You actually resist me so much."

Ji Wanwan ignored Bai Ze and quickly glanced around at the surroundings.

She floated in the chaotic world for a long time, so long that she almost forgot everything. She thought that a long time had passed in the real world as well, but everything in front of her was exactly the same as before she fell into a coma, and nothing seemed to have changed.

Could it be that she wasn't unconscious for long?
