"System," the voice echoed in the post-apocalyptic world, "the body you're currently inhabiting belongs to the son of the woman before you. It's best not to break character."
Upon hearing the system's words, 'Ning Chu''s eyes lit up. He sat up from the bed, looked at the woman by the door, and called out with a smile, "Mom!"
Seeing the shamelessness of the male lead, the system within the space was so speechless it almost rolled its eyes. Truly, he was quick to improvise… So brazen…
Ming Li looked at the little boy whose demeanor had drastically changed. She walked towards him expressionlessly.
Seeing this, 'Ning Chu' narrowed his eyes, stood up, and lunged towards Ming Li's embrace, "Mom, hug me!"
"Hmph!"
Ming Li let out a cold laugh. She raised her hand and grabbed 'Ning Chu' by the back of his collar, her expression unreadable. How dare he try to touch her mission target? He was tired of living!
As 'Ning Chu' was still grinning and about to say something else, he suddenly felt his soul wracked with agonizing pain.
"You… What did you do to me!"
"Hmph! What did I do? You dared to touch my person, what do you think?"
'Ning Chu', "?!!" What? How did she find out? Had he been exposed so quickly? Impossible! Besides, there wasn't anyone this powerful in the novel! Could it be… because he transmigrated, the novel's plot had changed?
Seeing that the person before her was still in a daze, Ming Li narrowed her eyes dangerously. The next moment, a strange power from her hand fiercely attacked 'Ning Chu's soul.
The post-apocalyptic system, seeing this, quickly pulled his soul into the system space and then rapidly fled the scene.
"Hmph! Run? Do you think you can escape?"
Within the space, the system looked at the killing intent in Ming Li's eyes and quickly said, "Host, leave him for now. Let's return Little Zhu's soul to his body first." If they delayed any longer, he'd be done for…
Hearing the system's words, the killing intent in Ming Li's eyes gradually receded. She took out a white container from her space and released Yue Zhu's soul from it into his body.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Yue Zhu suddenly coughed. After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes. Upon clearly seeing the figure before him, Yue Zhu rubbed his eyes and asked, "Mom? Why are you here?"
Ming Li, "It's nothing. Little Zhu, sleep soundly. Don't worry about Mom."
"Okay."
After watching the little boy in front of her fall asleep, Ming Li, to be safe, took out the pen from before and meticulously drew on his forehead…
After an unknown amount of time, Ming Li finally stopped. She took out a dark red necklace and placed it around Yue Zhu's neck, then left the room.
On the other side, the post-apocalyptic system looked at 'Ning Chu's dying soul within the space, remaining silent.
The feeling the woman just gave it was too terrifying, as if its life and death… were all within her whim. If it hadn't paid an enormous price just now, they would have already…
"Hiss!"
At this moment, 'Ning Chu' frowned and woke up. Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, he instinctively asked, "Where is this?"
The post-apocalyptic system, "This is my system space. Your soul cannot stay here for more than twenty-four hours, otherwise, my system space will be unable to withstand it and collapse…"
Upon hearing this, 'Ning Chu' frowned and asked, "What happened? What just happened?"
The post-apocalyptic system, "Your soul was just discovered. She… wanted to obliterate you. I paid a great price to bring you into my system space."
