Miss Xihai gently patted Miu Miu’s back. She remained silent for a moment, but then her lips curled up and her eyes curved into crescent moon shapes, creating an eerie smile. “So what? I was going to send her to her death. What can you do to me? Even if you know, there’s nothing you can do. This child is very filial and cannot bear to see her mother suffer. Are you angry? If you have the ability, come and hit me.”
The silver-haired wizard’s expression instantly turned dark, and the temperature around them dropped sharply. Countless ice shards even formed beneath his feet.
Miss Xihai was not afraid and even laughed out loud. Her voice was so loud that Miu Miu, who was sleeping soundly in her arms, did not wake up, and even looked as though she had passed out.
Bai Lixin tugged at the silver-haired wizard’s wide sleeve, then scrutinized the mermaid that had removed its mask. “How much longer do we have in this world?”
Miss Xihai swept her gaze outside. “Based on the current fading rate, it’s probably only tonight. After tonight, I can say goodbye to you.”
“Is there really nothing we can do?” Bai Lixin sighed, pulling the silver-haired wizard to sit on the sofa. The silver-haired wizard’s expression changed several times, but he still sat down, although he left a large space between himself and Bai Lixin, indicating some kind of estrangement between them.
“You are really amazing and smart,” Bai Lixin looked at Miss Xihai, who already looked triumphant, “you are the smartest opponent I have ever encountered, and you have played me around. If I weren’t your enemy, perhaps we could have been good friends. After all, there aren’t many people as clever as I am.”
Miss Xihai looked at Bai Lixin suspiciously. “What tricks are you playing now?”
Bai Lixin shrugged, completely relaxed, and his expression was pure and innocent. “I really have no other options. As you said, no matter what method I use, it’s not as effective as you becoming Miu Miu’s mother. You’ve already taken control, so I give up.”
Miss Xihai still didn’t quite believe him. “Really?”
Bai Lixin replied, “Really? If you don’t believe me, then tell me what else I can do.”
Miss Xihai thought for a moment, her expression becoming increasingly manic. “Haha, you’re right, you have no other options. You are a clever person.”
Bai Lixin said, “Of course, I am very good at judging the situation. Since I am almost dead, can you answer a few questions for me?”
Miss Xihai replied, “You can ask me, but I will answer if I feel like it.”
Bai Lixin asked, “Who is Miu Miu? Who are you? She looks like just a little girl, so why are you so determined to kill her?”
Miss Xihai blinked her eyes and hesitated for a moment, glancing down at Miu Miu before she finally spoke. “I might as well tell you since everything is already settled. This little girl is not an ordinary person, but a virus.”
“I am the antivirus system of this game, and I know you are a player.”
“This virus is quite useless, to be honest, and it does not pose much of a threat to the game system. But even the smallest virus, I won’t let it go.”
“But killing this virus is a bit troublesome. I tried to kill her several times in the real world, but her mother’s soul blocked me every time.”
Bai Li Xin thought of something: “So, the truck that suddenly rushed out and the wind that blew the painting paper into the sea were your doing?”
“Hehe, not just that. There’s a lot more,” Miss Xihai giggled. “In reality, her mother’s soul has been guarding her, preventing me from entering. So I thought of entering the dream as an invader. No matter how strong her mother’s soul is, she cannot enter the dream. This is my home field.”
“After entering, I didn’t immediately go to find this little girl. I did a lot of preliminary preparations.”
Bai Li Xin lowered his head in thought. He had a question he wanted to ask but didn’t know whether he should or not.
If Miss Xihai is an anti-virus, logically speaking, she should be there to protect the system and stand on the same side as the system. So why does the task require him to find and eliminate her as an invader?
Could it be that it wasn’t the system’s original intention to assign him this task, but rather that Tan Yue implanted some virus that caused the task error?
“That stupid system,” Miss Xihai coldly snorted, “because I violated the rules, it actually asked the tasker to eliminate me.”
Bai Lixin raised his head in confusion, “What?”
Miss Xihai said, “Are you curious why I am helping the system, but the system asked you to eliminate me?”
Bai Lixing replied, “Yes, very curious.”
Isn’t it because Tan Yue did something tricky?
Miss Xihai said, “As an immune system, I must obey the main brain’s orders. In the last command the main brain gave me, it was to give up attacking this virus because in its final inspection, he determined that she was not a virus chain, but a safe resident.”
“That’s impossible. I scanned her many times, and she did have the virus source. How did she suddenly become safe? I am responsible for the existence of the entire system, and my duty does not allow me to let any virus slip through. I had no personal motives, but I went against the main brain’s command. I chose to continue chasing this virus, and the main brain considered me a traitor, and asked you to destroy me.”
“But the truth will eventually come to light. I have never betrayed anyone. I was just doing my job! I am the best in the anti-virus system. How could I betray anyone?”
Bai Lixin looked at Miss Xihai’s suddenly despondent expression, and he seemed to understand what was going on.
Tan Yue did not change the task. He just quietly alienated the best anti virus system from the main brain. It seemed that this anti virus system had interfered with his actions to some extent.
Bai Lixin made a slightly exaggerated expression, “So that’s it. You really worked hard.”
“In fact, I have another question,” Bai Lixin looked at Miss Xihai. “Since you were in the real world before, you should have witnessed Miu Miu’s mother’s death. Why would there be an accident while boating in the river? Were there no rescue personnel nearby? Is there something hidden?”
Miss Xihai put away her despondent expression and became serious again. “You’re really smart. What accident? To put it plainly, it was insurance fraud.”
Bai Lixin asked, “Insurance fraud?”
Miss Xihai said, “Miu Miu’s mother was a strong woman, and her father was initially her subordinate. He used sweet words to get Miu Miu’s mother, but what he really wanted was her assets.”
“But Miu Miu’s mother was very cautious, and after marriage, even after Miu Miu was born, her money was either in a trust fund or in her own hands. That man hardly ever saw any money.”
“That man loved gambling and owed a lot of debt. He didn’t dare to ask her for money and thought of killing two birds with one stone.”
“He had planned his scheme for a long time, buying a huge amount of accidental insurance for Miu Miu’s mother a year in advance. Of course, to avoid being labeled as insurance fraud, he waited a year to implement the plan.”
“The opportunity finally came a year later. He constantly hinted to Miu Miu that her mother didn’t love her and didn’t even have time to spend with her, encouraging Miu Miu to ask her mother to go boating with her.”
“Miu Miu became confused and became the rope that her mother into that man’s trap.”
Suddenly, another bolt of lightning struck from the sky, this time even bigger. It instantly pierced the sky and split it in half.
Immediately afterwards, the ground shook and mountains trembled. Through the window, one could even see the distant sea churning and countless waves rolling. Under the azure lightning, a huge tsunami was sweeping towards them from the center of the sea.
Miss Xihai quickly lowered her head to look at the sleeping Miu Miu in her arms. Miu Miu was still sound asleep with no intention of waking up. However, the weather outside was clearly due to Miu Miu’s influence.
Suddenly, she raised her head and glared at Bai Lixin fiercely. “What’s going on?!”
There was no joy of victory on Bai Lixin’s face. He pulled out a black card from his backpack, and the word “Invisibility” was written on it in large letters.
He withdrew the “Invisibility” skill, and several people of different sizes suddenly appeared between him and the silver-haired wizard.
A dignified blond man was holding a little girl with a pale face, and she was silently crying. Tears fell on the blond man’s clothes, and she looked very sad.
The silver-haired wizard next to Bai Lixin couldn’t bear it and waved his magic wand towards the little girl and the girl immediately yelled at Miss Xihai in front of her, “So my father killed my mother? Am I my father’s accomplice?!”
Miss Xihai looked stunned at the sudden turn of events. If the little girl in front of her was Miu Miu, then who was in her arms…?
She lowered her head, and the little girl who had been in her arms turned into wriggling green vines. The vines tightly wrapped around Miss Xihai’s body, binding her tightly.
Several vines gathered in front of Miss Xihai’s shocked face and formed a circular ball. The ball twisted and turned, transforming into a green-faced monster with a vaguely discernible expression. “Mother, do you like my new look?”
Miss Xihai’s face turned greener than the vines from before.
“How dare you play me?!”
“You deserve to die!”
“Who asked you to trick us so many times?” The green-faced vine continued to taunt her. “It’s just a game of tit for tat.”
At this moment, Bai Lixin remained silent. He looked at Miu Miu beside him, who looked as if the sky had fallen. He took out a piece of drawing from his backpack and put it in Miu Miu’s arms.
“Now you know the truth you wanted to know. Your mother has not been avenged. Do you really want to die like this?”
In the study before, Miu Miu wavered after hearing Bai Lixin’s words just like this and Bai Lixin immediately went into action.
He summoned the sea monster and the dragon. The vines could take on a thousand different forms, so to prevent the real Miu Miu from being hypnotized, he had the sea monster turn into Miu Miu’s likeness.
Then Bai Lixin used a prop card to make the golden dragon hold Miu Miu and become invisible. To prevent Miu Miu from making any sound halfway through, the silver-haired wizard had cast a silence spell on her.
Then they had the sincere conversation they had just had.
Miu Miu clenched the tattered drawing in her hand. She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeve, and her emerald green eyes turned blood-red, revealing a surge of hatred and murderous intent.
“I don’t want to die. I haven’t avenged my mother yet…”
“I hate my father, I hate that family, I want them to be buried with my mother!”

In the live broadcast room.
[Fuck, when it comes to mind games, we still need to bow for our God Xin.]
[Hate therapy also works. Many people don’t want to live because they can’t find a goal to live for. If hatred can become a motivation for survival, then that’s not bad. But this kind of method is not often used in the healing process because the values may not be right.]
[What’s wrong with the values? Letting those bad guys get away with it is positive energy! As long as it doesn’t break the law, what’s wrong with revenge? The more I think about it, the angrier I get. I support Miss Miu Miu in seeking revenge. That phoenix man deserves to die, then he deserves to die, damn it.]
[He deserves to die but in reality, we can’t just do whatever we want, can we?]
[I’ve seen news in the real world that are more tragic and dramatic than this.]
[Actually, reality is often more absurd than literary creations because when we imagine things, we tend to add constraints, but in reality, things can happen without those constraints. There’s nothing we can’t do if we put our minds to it.]
[…Wait, what does it mean that Miu Miu is a virus?]
[Isn’t it just a game? This trash game always has bugs, but calling Miu Miu a virus is probably a mistake. Everyone else says it’s not, but the anti virus system says it is, so it must be a bug in the immune system.]
[ I’m really confused today. I didn’t know viruses and anti virus systems were humanoid. I thought they were just strings of code that we can’t see.]
[I feel like I accidentally glimpsed the essence of this 口口, brothers and sisters! Does the anti virus system have its own consciousness? Shit, am I inside some kind of giant system?!]
[What does “口口” mean?]
[Well, I’m afraid of being censored, so I deliberately wrote it that way.]
[…That’s clever.]
————————
“The situation is messed up, everything is messed up!” Miss Xihai roared angrily, her originally beautiful face twisting and turning into a blue square string. “Miu Miu, why don’t you listen to me? You’re so pitiful, why not leave with a fake happiness and smile? Why do you have to go back to the painful real world?! Death is your right.”
Miu Miu was frightened by Miss Xihai’s face. She held onto her drawing tightly and gathered the courage to speak: “Because I have unfinished business, and because you’re not my mother. Not only are you not my mother, but you also want to kill me.”
“My mother is not even here. She’s in the real world, and I have many things to say to her. How could I die here?”
“Death is my right, but living is also my right!”
“I’m telling you, I don’t want to die!”
On hearing Miu Miu’s words, “Miss Xihai” suddenly stopped moving. She hung her head down and stood still like a soulless puppet.
The vines probed her with their pointed ends, but she made no response.
Miu Miu’s emotions fluctuated too violently, causing the ground to shake violently.
The sea monster turned his head towards Bai Lixin’s direction, and several vines twisted together to form Dijia’s handsome face, “What’s wrong with this ugly thing? Is she dead? I haven’t even used much force.”
Bai Lixin & the others: “…”
Look at yourself in the mirror, how dare you call someone an ugly thing!
-[Ding! Virus detected!]
-[Activating virus scan mode!]
When Bai Lixin was about to make a sarcastic comment, a cold and icy electric sound suddenly rang out above everyone’s heads.
The next second, a loud “bang” rang out. The vines that were entwining Miss Xihai broke into several pieces and scattered in the air.
And where Miss Xihai was standing just now, there was a data stream composed of huge blue square boxes making a bizarre and absurd shape.
The body of the deep blue squares was long and large, resembling a giant snake, and it was even spitting out a deep blue forked tongue. Its whole body was engulfed in deep blue flames, and it looked down from a high place.
The silver-haired wizard silently looked at the eyes of the giant snake above his head, and poked the blond man next to him with his wand: “Aren’t you a dragon? You go first.”
The giant snake opened its mouth wide and roared towards the wall next to it, biting off a piece of it, which instantly turned into a shattered block of data.
Golden Dragon: “…I can’t do it, you can go.”
Silver-haired wizard: “…”
I can’t do it either, this thing is too unnerving.
