Siheyuan: Hang Jia Dongxu, smash Banggeng to death!

"What?!"

The Revenge System's voice suddenly turned shrill, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, "Can you hear us?"

Zhang Shiyu's face also turned slightly pale. She didn't expect Lin Tian to be able to hear her. Could it be that Lin Tian could also hear her conversations with the system before?

She gripped the hem of her clothes, which actually calmed her voice: "Lin Tian, ​​let me tell you... I am actually a time traveler."

I transmigrated into the body of Director Wang's youngest daughter, the little girl you blinded and deafened.

After I died, this revenge system came after me, telling me to kill you to take revenge.

But I can't do it, I don't want to, and I dare not.

I'm just an outsider, and I don't have much affection for Director Wang's family. This system has been trying to entice me to take revenge.

You want me to use candy to threaten you?

I refuse, so I'm going to tell you the truth. Do with me as you please.

"Damn host! How dare you!!"

The revenge system's voice was furious, like a wild beast trapped in a cage, never expecting its host to betray it.

After listening, Lin Tian slowly nodded, his gaze falling on Zhang Shiyu's face as he studied her for a while:

"No wonder you seemed strange and a little afraid of me when we first met. Now that I think about it, it makes sense."

"So, your plan is to have me help you break free from the system's control and start a new, decent life?"

Zhang Shiyu raised her head, her eyes slightly red: "Yes, Lin Tian. I have no ill intentions towards you. I'm just an ordinary girl on Earth, and I just want to live a simple life."

I don't want revenge, I don't want to kill, I don't want to be controlled by anyone, I just want to... live well.

The air fell silent for a moment.

When the Revenge System's voice rang out again, it was now tinged with an almost shattering rage:

"Zhang Shiyu! You betrayed me! Do you think he'll let you go? Do you think he'll believe you? You're too naive."

Lin Tian raised his hand, his voice not loud but clearly covering the furious tone: "Enough."

His cold gaze fell on Zhang Shiyu's uneasy eyes, and he smiled calmly:

I believe you.

Lin Tian didn't say much, he just reached out his hand to Zhang Shiyu.

Zhang Shiyu was stunned for a moment, then burst into tears of joy, and slowly raised her hand.

The revenge system is going crazy.

That damned Zhang Shiyu, she actually betrayed us!

"Host, you ungrateful wretch, have you forgotten who resurrected you? Who killed you?"

Do you think you can get rid of me like this?

I come from a higher-dimensional system; I am indestructible. You betrayed me; I will kill you.

Lin Tian didn't stop moving. He grasped Zhang Shiyu's hand, and an invisible force surged from his palm like an invisible stream.

It seeped into Zhang Shiyu's body from her fingertips, probing all the way to the curled-up, restless shadow deep in her consciousness.

When the Revenge System sensed the approaching unfamiliar system power, it let out a short, sharp scream, almost like an animal's howl.

"You can't do this to me, I..."

Lin Tian declared, "Of course I can. I'm just waiting for you to come out on your own."

Zhang Shiyu felt something deep inside her body suddenly being pulled out by an invisible force, like a blade of grass being uprooted.

After a brief, almost negligible dizziness, she felt a sudden lightness throughout her body, as if something that had been pressing on her shoulders had finally been removed.

Zhang Shiyu looked down at her hand, where the system that had long resided within her body was now being held by Lin Tian.

The Revenge System, like a wisp of mist forming an outline, struggled in his palm.

It contracts and expands, like a moth with its wings pinched, each struggle becoming weaker and weaker.

Lin Tian glanced down at it: "You're just a mass of data thrown into this world. You shouldn't have consciousness, nor resentment. Who put you in this world?"

The Revenge System's voice became intermittent, like a radio with a shaky signal: "I...I can't say..."

"I know you can't say it."

Lin Tian clenched his fist lightly, and the Revenge System screamed in agony: "Aaaaaah!!!"

Zhang Shiyu stood behind Lin Tian, ​​her initial timidity long gone. She stood quietly, watching.

"I can sense that it's afraid of you; it's never acted like this before."

"It used to always have a condescending tone."

The data in the Revenge System began to become blurry and unstable, like a dark cloud about to be blown away by the wind.

Its sound was intermittent, interspersed with unstable "buzzing" sounds, like an old radio struggling between channels:

"You...do you think I'd just...give up? This space...has already been infiltrated by my tentacles. You want me dead? Don't even think about it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a thin crack appeared in the ground, and gray-black roots emerged from under the floorboards, spreading along the base of the wall towards Zhang Shiyu.

A thin, cold hair was gently wrapped around her ankle, like a soaked rope.

The Revenge System's voice rang out once again: "Host, you are ultimately just my vessel. Do you think you are safe just by standing next to him?"

Do you think he would pay any price for you?

"You are like a feather in my hand, easily squeezed by me..."

The tendril tightened a little, and Zhang Shiyu frowned, but bit her lower lip and remained silent.

Just as Lin Tian was about to move, the Revenge System shouted, "Don't move! If you move even one more time, believe me, I'll crush her!"

Lin Tian smiled calmly and said, "What does it have to do with me if you kill her? Are you out of your mind? Have you forgotten that I killed her once too?"

quiet!

The revenge system froze, as if those words had blocked all its breathing.

The roots loosened slightly in that instant, like a tightly clenched hand suddenly losing its strength.

The Revenge System was speechless for a full two seconds, its voice filled with disbelief and bewilderment: "You…"

"What? You have a bad memory, and you're blaming others?"

Lin Tian's tone was impatient.

The revenge system fell completely silent.

The dark gray mist slowly shrank, like a plant that had suddenly lost its moisture, its edges curling and drying out, emitting a faint cracking sound.

The roots that had been spreading toward Zhang Shiyu also began to shrink back at that moment, like vines that had been drained of their life force.

It's trying to escape.

however.

Lin Tian's system capabilities were already waiting, like a large net swooping down, and the revenge system was caught as soon as it tried to escape.

"Am I an easy person to talk to?"

"Trying to run away? Think again in your next life."

"Aaaaaah!!!"

The revenge system let out a final, hoarse scream: "Host...you will regret this..."

"Lin Tian, ​​please spare my life..."

"No!!!"

The voice of the Revenge System grew softer and softer, like a wick being extinguished, before finally going out completely after emitting a last faint red glow.

silence!

Zhang Shiyu looked down at her empty hands, her fingers spreading and closing as if confirming something.

"Is it really dead?"

"Um."

Lin Tiandao said, "It no longer exists."
