The male supporting character was actually myself.

"boom!"

The bronze cauldron was, after all, a counterfeit and not a true divine artifact. With the combined power of the three parties, it quickly developed cracks, broke into pieces, and fell to the ground.

In the center of the hall, a raging fire was burning. The talisman that Lingquan Daoist had pasted on the cauldron emitted a bright light and floated in the air, still maintaining its original shape and supporting a space similar to the cauldron, trapping Zhang Xiyue inside.

The Horcrux was pressed tightly against the inside of the aura to prevent it from directly impacting the talisman.

Even with Jiang Chen's secret support, Daoist Lingquan was still struggling.

Sweat beaded on his forehead and trickled down his handsome face. His eyes were closed, and he chanted the incantation more and more urgently.

The black mist, encountering obstacles and dissipating everywhere, began to crumble. After a brief stalemate, it finally exploded into several clumps that began to fight each other. Greed, meanness, ferocity, treachery, and all sorts of despicable traits wanted to possess the starlight-like qualities, tearing each other apart in an insatiable frenzy to satisfy their desires.

The chilling screams and cries continued for a long time, until Jiang Chen was almost asleep before they finally stopped.

Lingquan Daoist, soaked to the bone and looking exhausted, walked unsteadily out of the hall with a small jade bottle in his hand and bowed to him. "Many thanks to Commander Xiao for his righteous help. Lingquan has fulfilled his mission and sealed it. I have another request. I hope that Commander Xiao will go the extra mile and help me to send this seal to the foot of Kunlun Mountain to suppress it, so that it may never escape."

"You're too kind, Daoist Master. I'll arrange a flight right away so we can go straight to Kunlun Mountain!" Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief, used his soul artifact to add a second layer of protection to the sealed bottle, and personally escorted it to suppress the immortal soul.

..........................................

postscript.

Only after seeing the small jade bottle suppressed inside the bronze coffin on Mount Kunlun did Jiang Chen finally feel relieved.

Even if the review ends this time and the script team can't be punished, they won't be able to cause any trouble. They can't just make up some tomb raiding story, go through many difficulties, and then release the female lead's soul to wreak havoc on the world.

Usually, at this point, the script team should back down and let the mission world develop on its own. When they return to Yongning City, they should act as a compassionate general, enjoy infrastructure development, and have some romance.

However, the main system did not give him the chance to be carefree.

The day after returning to Yongning City from parting ways with Lingquan Daoist, the results of the investigation were released.

[After rigorous review, the auxiliary system has confirmed that the script team that reported the story has solid evidence and clear facts. The script team members who created the story are suspected of being contaminated by the virus and have a tendency to guide the trend of violence and gore. Therefore, all members will be destroyed as punishment as a warning.]

However, the host's behavior was erratic and hypocritical, even inducing the auxiliary system to kill the female protagonist. Although the host's heart was good, the behavior was inappropriate. In order to prevent other hosts from observing and learning from this and setting a bad example, the following punishment is hereby given:

The auxiliary system failed in its duty; the forum has been banned for three months, and relevant departments are assisting in virus detection and removal to prevent residual negativity from affecting subsequent work.

The host will be immediately repatriated to a confined space, forced to reflect on their actions, and required to submit a written self-criticism of no less than 3,000 words. Only after passing this review and undergoing ideological education can they continue their mission.

"Damn it, host, did we end up shooting ourselves in the foot?" The little white cat was terrified when it heard the review results. "What should we do? If that compressed file is found out, I'm in big trouble!"

Jiang Chen patted its head to comfort it, saying, "The script team has been destroyed. We're just undergoing inspection. At most, it's a case of hurting the enemy a thousand while losing eight hundred of our own. Don't worry, if you behave, nothing will happen."

The Horcrux obediently attached itself to the fluffy ball, quietly awaiting its master's next command.

In the spring of the third year of the Gregorian calendar, General Xiao Jiangchen, only twenty-six years old, passed away peacefully. He had made great military achievements during his lifetime and was given a grand funeral after his death, where he was laid to rest in the General's Tomb.

Three months later, the newly appointed Lingquan Daoist, who rushed over upon hearing the news, looked at his tombstone with a puzzled expression. "How strange! Commander Xiao's appearance didn't suggest a short-lived person, so how could he have died so suddenly? His body has already been buried, so why is there still a faint trace of his soul in the world? Could it be..."

He looked up at the sky, and after observing for a long time, he was stunned. "Has he achieved perfect merit in saving all living beings and attained enlightenment in cultivating the Great Dao? Commander Xiao... has become a god?"

Chapter One: Do You Know Your Mistake?

Jiang Chen had no idea whether he had become a god or not. After being dragged back to the script selection space, he was locked up and made to write a self-criticism.

The space where the script had previously floated now contained only a table, a chair, a stack of papers, and a pen. He was confined to a small area with a diameter of no more than one meter centered on the chair and could not escape.

It looks like he won't get away with this easily unless he writes a 3,000-word self-criticism.

"What should I write?" Jiang Chen sat at the table, slowly twirling a pen in his right hand, staring blankly at the blank paper with only the two words "self-criticism" written on it.

Asking him to complain about the brainless, nonsensical plot points the script team wrote, or to write about how he tried to get back at someone for injustice, wouldn't even be enough for 3,000 words. But writing a self-criticism...

While casually fiddling with the little gadgets pressed on the paper, Jiang Chen realized that the heavy crystal paperweight was quite interesting.

The semi-circular paperweight held the stack of papers firmly in place. The transparent paperweight was so inconspicuous that it was almost unnoticeable at first glance. However, upon closer inspection, one would discover that it was cut into countless facets of equal size, like a diamond. With a slight movement and change of angle, it was a beautiful display of shimmering light.

As the light and shadow shift, each surface seems to offer a different view.

Jiang Chen leaned closer and squinted to get a better look, and the narrow cut surface suddenly magnified!

The next second, he felt as if he were inside a crystal paperweight. Looking up, he saw that each shimmering facet was a mission world, some of which he had experienced and some of which he had never seen before. Countless bizarre and wonderful scenes overlapped together like a psychedelic dream.

"Clang!" The pen fell from Jiang Chen's hand, startling him awake. He rubbed his eyes and looked back to find himself still sitting in the chair. Where was the world inside the paperweight?

Dizzy, Jiang Chen picked up the pen. When he looked at the crystal paperweight again, it was just an ordinary paperweight with an exquisite design that he couldn't put down. There was no colorful mission world or any strange things that suddenly magnified. The strange scene just now seemed to be an illusion.

He shook his still-dazed head, wondering if he had fallen asleep and was having a dream.

"I can't write anything, what should I do?" Jiang Chen rubbed his temples slowly with his fingers, racking his brains to come up with some words to get by.

He had planned to cause some trouble in the mission world long ago, but things didn't go as planned.

Instead of being arrested, the culprit who harmed the protagonist dragged Rongtuanzi down with him.

At this moment, from the first-person perspective of the Horcrux, Little White, who had been teleported to the same pure white space, was squatting there listlessly with his hands tucked in his pockets, his little head drooping and his little mouth pouting, seemingly lost in thought.

"Being silenced doesn't matter, the key issue is virus detection and removal." The little white cat frowned and pouted, pretending to be timid, but its big, dark blue eyes were actually darting around, and it was thinking to itself.

Kittens can be quite mischievous!

I need to quickly think of a way to get through this smoothly.

It hasn't performed a self-virus scan in a long time, mainly because it didn't feel anything unusual. It doesn't click on those random links on forums or download anything, so how could it have a virus?

However, during the last self-check, it directly detected an unknown compressed file that required a password. It didn't even know when it was added, and the file details were completely blank without any basic information.

"If I'm caught, should I just say I don't know? Won't the main system delete me as a virus? Should I say I knew but didn't report it? No, no, not reporting is a much bigger offense! What should I do?"

"Although I'm a little scared, looking at it from another angle, this thorough cleanup of the main system might not be a bad thing. It might just eliminate the hidden dangers."

"The most troublesome thing is how the main system views this compressed file..."

The fluffy ball of fluff had its eyes darting around. Before the pure white space had made any move, it had already come up with a backup plan—first, pretend to be stupid and ask questions without knowing anything. If it was discovered, it would be tough and confront the system directly. If it couldn't win, it would immediately back down. It had to be polite and quick. If necessary, it would even cry, whine, and beg the censorship system to be lenient and let it off the hook.

If this method doesn't work, then we'll just have to go all out!

Do you really think this cute and cuddly kitten is just a clueless newbie? It's been following its host around for so long, even if it can't learn the essence, it can at least learn some basics. Let's get this!

The assassin cat has struck; the outcome is still uncertain.

"Sigh, my biggest regret now is that I was too stingy before. I always thought about saving up more energy for a rainy day. If I had known I would be captured, I would have turned into a catgirl to cheer up my host." The little white cat listlessly scratched its fluffy tail, feeling a little regretful. If it were destroyed directly, its host would probably be very sad, right?

The more she thought about it, the sadder she became. The fluffy ball hugged its tail and lay down, sobbing, "We made a promise to change jobs and take the host flying, but now it's all over... Waaaaah, I still have so many dried fish that I haven't eaten yet. I wonder if changing the auxiliary system would be more considerate to my host... Waaaaah, it's all the fault of that damn scriptwriting team for writing such rubbish!"

[Best Supporting Actor Assistant System Novice, codename 00091300X, do you know your mistake?]

The sudden sound made the crying little white dog immediately stop crying. It stood up, shook its fur, and looked around warily, but couldn't find the source of the sound. Suddenly, it felt a little bad. Could it be that its every move was being watched?

Did your facial expressions and eye contact reveal anything?

Wouldn't it be more appropriate to play dumb now?

"I know I was wrong." At this crucial moment, eight hundred clever ideas suddenly activated, and the fluffy little girl lowered her head and answered softly, pretending to be sincere.

Do I know I'm wrong? Of course I know I'm wrong!

The mistake was that I shouldn't have made it so obvious and gotten caught red-handed. Next time, I'll remember to be more discreet if I want to secretly kill that bastard protagonist, so that even if the censors get involved, they won't find out.

[It is a great virtue to admit one's mistakes and correct them. As an auxiliary system, your duty is to assist the host in completing tasks. Given that your poisoning of the protagonist in this script was due to the host's resentment and malicious inducement, and considering your good attitude in admitting your mistake and that this is your first offense, you will not be severely punished.]

As the notification sound faded, a light blue light appeared from the void and scanned across it at an extremely fast speed.

There was a slight pause in the middle, and the password-protected, unknown compressed file appeared in the air using interlaced light and shadow.

[Beep! Detection shows no virus contamination; the auxiliary system is in good condition, responds quickly, and exhibits no malicious behavior.]

The blue light came and went quickly. The moment it paused startled Jiang Chen, who frowned slightly, worried that his soul weapon had been discovered. He was only slightly relieved when he heard the notification sound.

[Friendly reminder: Although the forum is monitored by relevant departments, there are still delays. Please do not download unknown files to avoid infection by unknown viruses that may lead to file deletion.]

As the sound faded, the compressed file that had been displaying interplay of light and shadow in the air also disappeared.

The little white cat breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that even the main system thought this thing was harmless, and simply didn't forcibly decompress and verify it to respect the privacy of the auxiliary system...

But then it wondered, could it really have accidentally downloaded a file while posting on the forum?

If not for that, it really can't think of any other source. Maybe it should wait until the ban period ends and check the forum's history? If it can find where it was downloaded, it might have the password to decompress it and delete it successfully?

"Buzz!"

Just as the fluffy dumpling was muttering to itself and lost in thought, a buzzing sound suddenly came from not far away, and then a small door appeared out of thin air.

"Stop peeking around, come in and talk." Inside the room, a man sat in a futuristic, egg-shaped chair that reminded the cat of a space capsule. When the door opened, the chair spun around, and the man stared at the cat without any apparent malice.

At first glance, it looks like a real person sitting there, but the little white cat blinked and suddenly sensed that it was a virtual image projected in by light and shadow, and that the person behind it might not be a person at all.

Jiang Chen didn't realize it and was instantly stunned.

This was the first time he had met a staff member in the virtual world, and he observed them very carefully.

The other person appeared to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, dressed in an exquisite black and red robe. He sat in a large, technologically advanced chair without looking out of place; on the contrary, it accentuated his nobility and majesty.

Her eyebrows and eyes were perfectly shaped, and she had an outstanding appearance, especially her long, narrow, slightly upturned eyes, which sparkled and reminded people of the cunning creatures like foxes.

His black stockings were casually draped over his shoulders, and judging from his height and leg length, he must be a muscular man at least 1.95 meters tall with a wasp waist and a broad back.

Who is this? Someone from within the main system?

Surely it couldn't be someone in charge of the script?

Jiang Chen carefully attached the soul weapon to Xiao Bai, not daring to move too much, lest he expose himself too early and be unable to protect it. Therefore, he looked up at Xiao Bai from the height of a kitten, making the other party appear even more tall and majestic.

The fluffy little cat walked gracefully into the room, squatted down, and obediently looked at him, opening its pink little mouth to let out a soft, childish meow, "Meow~"

"Pfft!"

The man was amused and waved his hand, laughing, "Don't give me that. You're quite the good girl now, though. You were having a good time in the mission world."

As he spoke, he pressed a button on the armrest of his chair, and instantly many projected images appeared in the room.

The backgrounds may differ, but the little white cat is present in every scene: either bubbling and rummaging through shipwrecks on the seabed; or playfully jumping around and acting strangely; or shouting and yelling while playing games on a phone; or feasting on a chicken leg in one paw and a lobster in the other...

"Uh... May I ask your name?" The little white cat immediately blushed, shook its fluffy big ears, and turned up the corners of its mouth slightly to act cute. It thought to itself that this guy seemed easy to talk to, and was probably the security officer in charge of monitoring the mission world.

It's actually similar to a security guard who watches a bunch of cameras. Otherwise, who would have the time to stare at a kitten and edit videos?

"You should know that apart from the auxiliary system having a simple name for the host's convenience, the other staff members here do not have names. You can call me Supervisor No. 003."

"Hello, supervisor, what are your instructions?"

"Heh..." Number 003 obviously didn't expect it to be so obedient and couldn't help but laugh. "I'm in charge of monitoring the security of all mission worlds. Last time, I was able to get rid of the virus thanks to your help. In that respect, I owe you a favor."

I'd like to take this opportunity to see for myself what kind of support system you are, and satisfy my curiosity.
