The surroundings were stark white, as if trapped in an alternate dimension—silent and lonely. In the vast space, only Su Meng and the unidentified flying object twisting its small body before her remained.
【Hello, host! Um… please don’t be afraid!】666 enthusiastically introduced itself. As a newly activated system, it cheerfully circled around Su Meng, careful not to startle her.
After all, this host was meticulously chosen from thousands of candidates. Data indicated she was a delicate, kind-hearted girl named Lin Jiaojiao, cherished and pampered by her family since childhood. She would even shed tears at the sight of an injured small animal.
Compassionate toward all things, she had never experienced major hardships. Even those who harmed her were forgiven and reformed through her influence.
Binding with such a gentle and benevolent host would surely help correct the darkened villain in this story!
How clever of it!
【Here’s the situation: You’ve now entered a small world within a book. Because the villain in this story later becomes an uncontrollable madman, the entire plot has collapsed and destabilized. I want to bind with you so you can return to the villain’s youth, save him, and guide him away from darkness and destruction. It’s simple—just like how you usually rescue people and shelter small animals. Use your kindness, selflessness, and gentle words and actions to reform him.】
Su Meng keenly noticed the adjectives the system used.
Her? Forgiving enemies, kind, selfless, gentle? These words clearly didn’t describe her. Recalling her actions before death and contrasting them with these descriptors, Su Meng’s lips curled slightly in mockery.
When she looked up again, her expression had shifted to resemble the timid, gentle girl the system described—one who had never faced storms. Seemingly frightened, she pursed her lips and whispered:
【What happens if I don’t bind with you? Are you… very powerful? Will you kill me?】Su Meng asked.
【If you don’t bind with me, you’ll return to your original body. If you bind with me and complete all tasks, you’ll earn a chance at rebirth. If you die, you can use this opportunity to revive, essentially gaining a second life. Although you don’t need it now… I truly hope to cooperate with you.】
666 spoke with persuasive guidance, feeling slightly sly—as if deceiving a child—while striving to sincerely share all it knew.
Hearing the system’s words, Su Meng deduced that the person originally intended to be summoned could return to their body unharmed. But if she returned to her body… it had already been blown to dust, ashes scattered across the Pacific.
【Although I’d like to help you, according to your description, you’re offering a reward I currently don’t need in exchange for my labor. It’s really…】Instead of hastily agreeing to bind with 666, Su Meng feigned hesitation, biting her lip as if reluctant to proceed.【Alright! If you’re willing to bind with me, besides the promised rebirth reward after completing the tasks, I’ll also give you an extra cheat. You can…】Listening to Su Meng’s words, 666 felt a bit uneasy in its conscience. Gritting its teeth, it offered an additional reward.
【Well… okay then.】Su Meng blinked her eyes and reluctantly agreed.
666, fearing Su Meng might change her mind, quickly bound the two together—the kind that couldn’t be undone until the tasks were completed. This was to prevent Su Meng from regretting it later. Even if she tried to force an unbinding, both she and 666 would have to agree.
【Done. I’ve sent you the background story. Oh, right, I forgot to introduce myself. I’m 666. Host, you…】After the binding, 666 eagerly checked the host’s past records. But as soon as it looked, it froze in place.
Huh? These life experiences… seem a bit off.
From childhood to adulthood, she was vengeful, ruthless, and merciless, with methods as cruel and cunning as the later-stage darkened villain—if not even more brutal.
Then, glancing at the mismatched host name—Su… Su Meng?
What? Su what Meng?
Damn, did it pull the wrong host??
This wasn’t the other female villain in this story.
In fact, later on, she broke free from the original setting, casting shadows, causing turmoil, and bringing ruin to the originally smooth-sailing female protagonist, leaving her miserable and broken. One could even say that if it weren’t for the protagonist halo of the female and male leads, they would have died long ago.
【Oh, I also forgot to introduce myself. Su Meng, well… how should I put it…】Su Meng read the summary of the story background sent by the system, her smile deepening. She paused briefly before continuing.
【I seem to be the other villain you mentioned in this book.】Su Meng’s lips curved slightly. Her almond-shaped eyes were dark and bright, with long, curled lashes that slightly veiled her gaze, as if she were a bit puzzled. Her skin was pale, and she had a frail, harmless appearance, looking quite innocent. The corners of her eyes lifted slightly as she licked her crimson lips.
Like a succubus shedding all pretense—ferocious, seductive, luring others into corruption, both enchanting and dangerous. No one would ever think her harmless again.
In a sweet, soft voice, she whispered gently.
【Well then, happy cooperation.】
666’s vision went dark.
Damn, it had brought together two villains who originally had no connection in the plot.
Sh-shouldn’t be… a big problem, right?
…
