The unscrupulous system forced me to frantically test the small black room

I just want death to come faster.

Before his pupils collapsed and lost the last bit of luster, the colorful fish in front of him were still swimming around carefree as before. A curious fish swam to his mouth and touched it gently.

At that time, I was wondering if I could have a good dream after I died?

Just like the characters in the novel, you don’t have to struggle in life because of lack of money, nor do you have to be trapped in a dim room because of physical illness.

You have parents who love you without any limit, you have an older brother who will protect you when you are scared, you have a bunch of friends who laugh and play with you, and you have a lover who will accept your imperfections.

"Fanfan, tell me again the cause of my death."

"Host Tao Zhi, aged 28, died of drowning in a fish tank."

Tao Zhi's consciousness gradually faded away. Someone shattered the faint floating light and ran towards Tao Zhi through the splashes of water.

Gong Cheng and Xu Yanze jumped into the water almost at the same time. Gong Cheng swam towards Tao Zhi in the water without hesitation, while Xu Yanze hesitated for only a moment and turned around to swim towards Nova.

Gong Cheng grabbed Tao Zhi's wrist. Tao Zhi struggled to open his heavy eyelids and saw Gong Cheng's anxious expression.

Gong Cheng put Tao Zhi's arm on his shoulder, then put his arm around Tao Zhi's waist and swam upwards.

The moment he swam out of the water, many servants from the shore had already gathered around him after hearing the noise.

Gong Cheng helped Tao Zhi, who was almost fainting, to get ashore. Tao Zhi's legs collapsed weakly on the ground, and his wet hair stuck to his face.

Tao Zhi's eyes were blurry and his heartbeat was almost silent. There was noise all around him. Gong Cheng knelt down, with red eyes, and performed CPR and artificial respiration on Tao Zhi over and over again.

It was not until Tao Zhi twisted his face and spat out a pool of water that he regained some consciousness.

Seeing Tao Zhi's reaction, Gong Cheng pulled Tao Zhi up and held him in his arms. His arms squeezed Tao Zhi so hard that it hurt. Tao Zhi trembled violently, gasped heavily, and was filled with fear.

Tao Zhi patted Gong Cheng's back gently with trembling hands.

"You're hugging me too tight. I can't breathe." Tao Zhi said weakly.

Upon hearing this, Gong Cheng let go of Tao Zhi and wiped the wet and red corners of his eyes with the back of his hand, not knowing whether he was wiping away water stains or tears.

"Gong Cheng, I'm a little cold. I want to go back to my room to take a hot bath. Can you take me back now?" Tao Zhi's eyes were gentle.

Upon hearing this, Gong Cheng stood up and supported Tao Zhi. When the two left, Nova next to them had regained consciousness. Before she had recovered from her coughing, she was hugged by Emma who was crying and shouting.

At this moment, Nova was in a very bad state, no longer looking like a princess. However, she did not try to hide her embarrassment, but instead looked directly at Xu Yanze, who had just pulled her out of death.

Xu Yanze was looking at Gong Cheng and Tao Zhi who were walking away. The worry in his eyes slowly faded away, but he could not hide the sadness that was flowing through his heart.

Tao Zhi entered the house and Gong Cheng was about to follow him in, but Tao Zhi slammed the door shut and locked it without waiting for Gong Cheng to react.

"Sir?" Gong Cheng outside the door asked in confusion.

"I want to rest for a while after taking a shower. Go find someplace to play by yourself and don't disturb me for now." Tao Zhi tried to make his tone sound natural.

After Tao Zhi finished speaking, he staggered towards the bed. Before he could sit on it, he fell down awkwardly on the side of the bed and simply leaned against the edge of the bed.

After a few moments of silence, he spoke.

"Fanfan, come out." Tao Zhi said.

"Is there anything I can do to help the host?" Fanfan asked.

"Am I committing suicide?" Tao Zhi asked straight to the point.

"Yes." He answered quickly.

Tao Zhi was shocked. Although he had guessed the answer, he was still shocked when he heard it in person.

But why did I commit suicide?

Although he was ill, he still had a mother who loved him. Even though he had been trapped in that house for more than a decade, he never thought of ending his life.

How could I abandon my mother and choose death?

Could it be that...something happened to my mom?

Thinking of this possibility, Tao Zhi's pupils constricted and his throat felt as if it was strangled, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

Tao Zhi took a long time to calm down before speaking with trembling voice.

"Why did I commit suicide?" Tao Zhi asked.

"The system is unable to analyze your psychology before your death, and cannot come to a definitive conclusion about the reasons that led to your suicide behavior," Fanfan said.

Tao Zhi was not relieved by this sentence, but raised his questions again.

"Why don't I have any memory of committing suicide before?" Tao Zhi asked in a hoarse voice.

"Because you, the host, asked me to store your related memories in a sealed manner." Fanfan answered.

Tao Zhi was stunned when he heard this.

Did you ask for it?

"Now I ask you to return these memories to me." Tao Zhi said.

"Before the memory is unlocked, the system will play the message you prepared in advance so that the host can confirm whether you really want to unlock the memory."

"It's super fucking painful to seal the memory, so it's better not to unseal it. Remember to listen to advice." Fanfan said.

Tao Zhi was a little dazed, but it was obvious that he would not listen to advice at this time, even if the person giving the advice was himself.

"Confirmed to be unblocked." Tao Zhi said.

"The host has been unblocked." Fanfan replied.

As soon as he finished speaking, a bunch of things swept into Tao Zhi's mind. The rapid flood of memories made Tao Zhi dizzy and his stomach churned. His body gradually drooped on the bed, his wet hair hung behind his head, slowly soaking the sheets.

"I'm really tired. I've persisted for more than ten years, but I'm really tired."

"My life shouldn't be like this. I have my own friends and family. I could have lived happily and freely, but I have been trapped with you for so many years."

"I don't want this to happen. Everyone is telling me to leave you and your father behind. I want to give up everything and start a new life, but I can't let you go. How can I leave you behind?"

"You are not a burden or a burden to me. You are my child. Your father and I have been looking forward to your birth. I almost died on the operating table because of difficulties giving birth to you. How can I abandon you now?"

"I'm sorry, but I really can't hold on any longer."

"The doctor said that Mom's illness has a chance of being cured as long as she persists with chemotherapy, but where can we get the money to support the medical expenses for both of us?"

"What would you do if your mother died?"

"Mom can't just abandon you like this and let you live alone in this world."

"Come with mom, let's leave this world together."

"As long as I die, all the pain will end."

"Mom will be waiting for you on the road, waiting for you to come over."
