Due to a certain lazy author who wanted to save time on the long prelude of time travel, by the time Gu Bai woke up, he was already dead.
…
He was surrounded by a pitch-black, boundless starry sky. There was nothing but stars in the sky. It was so desolate that it made him feel lonely.
Gu Bai's soul had been floating in the air for a long time. Although he did not know what happened, he knew that he must be dead now.
Because his surroundings felt too real and his body was transparent, he could not lie to himself that he was dreaming. His luck had always been bad. He definitely did not think that he could survive the plane explosion.
"Do you want to live?"
Suddenly, a somewhat cold, machine-like, emotionless, flat voice sounded in the starry sky.
Gu Bai was stunned and did not react. He really did not know what was going on. This place did not look like heaven or hell. What the hell was going on?
With a heart full of doubts, Gu Bai could not help but look around, trying to find the source of the voice. "Who are you?"
The voice paused for a moment before saying, "Who I am is not important. What's important is that you're about to disappear. I can give you a chance to live..."
"What do you mean by disappear?" Gu Bai keenly grasped the key point.
"You're already dead. You're just a weak soul now. If you disappear again, you won't even have the chance to reincarnate. In other words, you'll never exist..."
The voice was very patient.
Accompanied by the voice, Gu Bai could indeed feel his body becoming more and more transparent. His soul became weaker and weaker, as if it was about to dissipate.
The feeling of being gone forever was not a good feeling, and he did not want to die for real.
No matter how cruel reality was, since the first day he was sensible in the orphanage, there was only one thought in his mind.
Live, and live a better life. This was his dream.
However, Gu Bai did not believe that a pie fell from the sky, so he was still a little hesitant. He continued to observe the pitch-black surroundings that did not exist at all.
"... I want to live, but what are your conditions?"
"My condition is that you become my subordinate, enter the world I designate, and complete the mission..."
That voice was still cold and emotionless.
"What mission do I need to complete?" Gu Bai continued to ask.
The voice wasn't in a hurry to answer. After a short silence, the surrounding pitch-black space changed. Then, one after another, flashing books appeared and danced in the air.
"Just like the books you're looking at now, although they're all stories, they're all real small worlds. The protagonists and supporting characters had real souls when the books were born …"
"I need you to enter the worlds in these books and fulfill the wishes of the souls who seek my help. When the mission is completed, you will continue to live and enjoy life in those worlds. If you fail, you will disappear forever. You won't even be able to exist in your current soul state …"
"In other words, even if I'm alive, I'm using someone else's body?"
Gu Bai muttered to himself. He wanted to live, but what was the point of becoming someone else? Did the name Gu Bai still have any meaning?
As if sensing his hesitation, the cold voice was silent for a moment before speaking again.
"Yes, but if you complete the mission well, I might give you a chance to be reborn in the future. You still have half an hour to choose whether you want to continue living in your soul state or disappear immediately after completing the mission."
"I choose to complete the mission."
Gu Bai didn't hesitate anymore. Although he was no longer human and his living body was someone else's, at least it was better than disappearing forever.
He didn't want to die. Humans were greedy for life. At least, he didn't want to die now. Moreover, this mysterious voice said that if he completed the mission well, he would have a chance to be reborn.
"Target has agreed and signed the contract. Name: Gu Bai, male, twenty-three years old …"
As soon as he finished speaking, the cold voice rang out. Gu Bai only felt that the surrounding space seemed to distort. Then, something drilled into his body, causing his transparent soul to become corporeal. It was extremely comfortable.
With the feeling and hope of survival, Gu Bai touched his soul and was very satisfied. A pure and kind smile appeared on his handsome face.
He was born with this. Although the word "pure and kind" had nothing to do with people like him who crawled their way out of a black-hearted orphanage, he was born with a pure and kind face.
Perhaps this was one of the reasons why the mysterious voice chose him to complete the mission. A pure and kind person should be a loyal and hardworking subordinate.
However, although he wasn't pure and kind, he knew what it meant to be a wise man submits to circumstances.
Therefore, he quickly accepted the current situation. He rubbed his hands together and spoke respectfully to the empty space in the air.
"Master, I'm ready. We can begin the mission …"
"Yes, enter the world immediately. Remember, if you die before completing the mission, you will disappear forever …"
The mysterious voice was still emotionless and cold. With a wave of distorted dizziness, Gu Bai lost consciousness. His body turned into a ray of white light and entered the world.
*****
"Lu Rongqing, you can slowly enjoy yourself here …"
As soon as Gu Bai regained consciousness, he heard a woman's gloating voice in his ear. Then, he heard the sound of high heels clacking as she left.
Then, before he could react, he felt waves of heat coming from his body. His head was a little dizzy, and there was a special kind of desire.
He moaned reflexively. He couldn't help but curl up his body and clamp his legs together. He bit his lips hard before opening his eyes.
This was a KTV room. Other than the screen that was playing the song, the surrounding light was very dim. The snacks, fruit plates, and drinks on the table were all scattered on the ground. The room was a mess.
Gu Bai didn't know what was going on, but he instinctively felt that something was wrong.
He clearly remembered that the mysterious voice said that if he died before completing the mission, he would disappear forever. Therefore, the most important thing now was to figure out his mission.
Feeling the uncomfortable heat in his body, he crawled to the table and drank a glass of water with ice cubes on the table. Then, he locked the door of the room to prevent accidents from happening if someone broke in. Only then did he close his eyes to receive the plot …
The world he was doing this mission in was a novel about a reincarnated girl who changed her fate for revenge.
The female lead in the novel was called Wu Zhenzhen. She was the daughter of a real estate businessman.
Although the Wu family wasn't considered the top wealthy family in B City, they were definitely rich and upper-class. Like most wealthy families, the Wu family also had one or two illegitimate children.
However, Wu Zhenzhen was born of the Wu family's first wife. Her status in the family was very high. Her father liked her very much. Growing up in such a wealthy family and being doted on by her parents, her personality was very simple and her thoughts were very simple.
Living in a wealthy family with a melodramatic fight, people with simple thoughts would not have a good ending. Therefore, after her mother passed away, without protection, she was no match for the illegitimate children in the family.
No matter how much Mr. Wu liked her, he had no time to care about her because of his busy work. Soon, her situation became worse and worse under the scheme of one of the illegitimate children.
Her father, who used to love her, hated her more and more. Her friends also liked the illegitimate daughter very much. Even the boy she liked and pursued for many years, who was about to be hers, had a change of heart and gradually fell in love with the illegitimate daughter.
She was so angry that she fought with the illegitimate daughter. However, her skills were not as good as hers. Instead, she was set up and raped by the illegitimate daughter. Those unsightly photos were spread and ruined her reputation.
After that, her life completely fell to the bottom. Everyone hated her and despised her. She could not stay in the country anymore. Her father could only send her abroad.
However, she did not expect that even after leaving the country, she could not escape the illegitimate daughter's scheme. Coupled with the fact that she gave up on herself, she quickly became addicted to drugs and gambling. Her father was so angry that he cut off all ties with her. In the end, she died on the streets of the country because of her drug addiction.
Wu Zhenzhen was very young when she died. She was only in her twenties. It was the prime of her youth, so she was very unwilling and resentful.
After being reborn, she began to take revenge with strong resentment and unwillingness.
She wanted to take revenge on her father. If it wasn't for her father being unfaithful to her mother and having an affair outside, there wouldn't be that evil illegitimate daughter. She wanted to take revenge on the bitch who ruined her life. She wanted to take revenge on all the people who harmed her!
Using the memories of her previous life, she began to work hard to enrich herself before the illegitimate daughter married into the family. She turned the originally unruly little princess into a rich young lady.
After the illegitimate daughter married into the family, she began her revenge plan. She set up layers of traps. Not only did she take back the boyfriend she liked, she also planned to return the rape to the illegitimate daughter. She let the illegitimate daughter suffer the consequences of her own actions.
She also spread those photos in the plan of a tooth for a tooth. She destroyed the illegitimate daughter's pretentious and pure image and reputation. She found people to lure the illegitimate daughter onto the same path as her previous life: drugs, sex, gambling, and so on.
There was also her father and those who had offended her in her previous life. She found a chance to take revenge on them all.
And the original owner was one of the cannon fodder for her revenge.
