Shen Jinghe stared for a long time before recognizing her granddaughter from Mingli's battered and tattered face.
Mingli had expected Shen Jinghe to rush forward and hug her, perhaps weeping, but the next moment she saw the old man opposite her instinctively take a step back, "Li...Li'er, actually, your grandpa is doing quite well, you don't need to specially come back to see me..."
Mingli: "..." This dynamic seemed a bit off... Wasn't this old man supposed to be a ghost hunter? Why was he reacting like this upon seeing her?
"Ahhh! A ghost!"
Suddenly, a terrified voice, nearly cracking, echoed in Mingli's mind.
As soon as the system woke up, it was met with a face covered in blood, a truly terrifying sight, which almost caused it to crash again.
Hearing the voice, Mingli's lips twitched uncontrollably. She asked with a blank expression, "What are you wailing about?"
Upon hearing the familiar tone, the system's cries gradually subsided, and it tentatively asked, "Host... Host?"
Mingli ignored the system, emanating a chilling aura. She glanced at the old man in front of her and said, "I will be back."
Before the words had even faded, her figure had vanished from the spot.
Shen Jinghe: "..." You really didn't need to come back so seriously... He was old and couldn't handle such scares!
Mingli arrived at a deserted place and pulled the system out of the spatial dimension, her gaze chillingly fixed on it, making the system tremble with fear.
Looking at the distorted face before it, the system swallowed hard, suppressed the urge to scream, and shakily asked, "Host, you, you, you, what are you doing?"
Seeing the system's reaction, Mingli narrowed her eyes, "What are you afraid of? Isn't this the body you chose yourself? Are you dissatisfied with it?"
System: "...Host, this, this... it was random, you can't blame me..."
Mingli raised an eyebrow, "Is that so?"
Seeing the system nod frantically, Mingli changed the subject, "Then what were you doing just now?"
"Huh? Doing nothing?" Just a simple system crash.
Their eyes met, and after two seconds, Mingli asked again, "What about the plot?"
"Huh?" The system looked at Mingli, bewildered, not understanding her meaning, "Host, wasn't the plot already transmitted to you?"
As it spoke, the system conjured a light screen, and its two small light hands swiped across it. After a moment, the system suddenly realized and said, "Host, well, this plane doesn't have male and female lead plot points; you'll need to discover those yourself. Moreover, this mission doesn't seem to be related to male and female leads."
Mingli said expressionlessly, "Do you think that's possible?"
The system was about to say no, but when it looked up, it met Mingli's strange gaze, "It... it's not impossible..."
"However, Host, I don't have the plot for the male and female leads of this plane either. You'll have to handle it yourself."
Mingli: "What use are you then?"
System: "..." Then let it return to the dimension! Damn it, facing your newly emerged appearance outside, isn't it scared to death?
As if sensing what the system was thinking, Mingli revealed a mischievous smile and said lightly, "In this plane, you can play outside."
System: "?!!!" No! It refused! It absolutely did not want to be scared to death!
