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

"Are people from abroad also under your jurisdiction?" Tao Zhi asked suddenly.

"That is the scope of work of my colleague Jesus. Our job responsibilities are clearly divided. Although there will be cross-regional collaboration, that is an additional price," said the old Taoist.

"You still say you are not a god." Tao Zhi rolled his eyes slightly.

"No, no, no, I'm just a cow or horse who has lived a little longer than you." said the old Taoist.

"Let's get back to the point. In addition to the people I'm responsible for in reality, there's another special existence that's also within my area of ​​responsibility."

“Even if you are born between paper and ink, just a few words can create a world of their own in the moment when the ink is put down.”

"As an author, you personally create a fictional world with yourself as the protagonist, and then you have your own second ball."

"There is nothing wrong with this matter itself. The problem lies in the fact that you changed the protagonist in the middle of the process."

As the old Taoist said this, he handed the two balls with frozen images to Tao Zhi.

"These two balls were originally created in your novel with you as the protagonist. However, because you willingly reduced yourself to a supporting role in your own life, you gave up the protagonist's identity to someone else, causing the plot to go off track and the data to be wrong."

"To put it simply, you are a bug in my job."

"So I brought you into this world you created, let you rewrite your own story, and become the protagonist of your life, so as to fix the bug." The old Taoist sighed.

Tao Zhi: Confused.

"Then why did you let Fanfan give me the title of cannon fodder at the beginning, and then restrict me with so many rules and regulations, forcing me to do the villain mission?" Tao Zhi complained.

"This has nothing to do with me. The editor does not have such authority."

"You're stuck in this, and you're just making things difficult for yourself."

"After going through three world lines, even if you choose to forget everything, you still instinctively become a supporting role."

"In your mind, you don't deserve to be a dazzling existence, don't deserve to be the protagonist, and don't deserve to have happiness."

"You are self-deprecating and self-pitying, and you only dare to live in a corner, rejecting any opportunity to step into the sunlight."

"As long as you continue to despise yourself and choose to escape, then the ball that belongs to you will always be dim and dull."

"This novel is the cage you wove for yourself with thorns," said the old Taoist.

Tao Zhi was unable to come back to his senses for a long time, his lips slightly open, words stuck in his throat and he couldn't utter a word for a long time, his heart was surging.

"But, this place is not a cage for me, but a beautiful dream."

"I don't want to wake up from this beautiful dream, nor do I want to shatter this beautiful dream again and again."

"Old Taoist priest, what should I do?" Tao Zhi asked.

"Only by pulling away the thorns can you see the door of the cage. That's why you can see me here." said the old Taoist.

"If you keep me in suspense, I'll get angry." Tao Zhi said expressionlessly.

Tao Zhi was so anxious that he wanted to scratch his head after listening to the Taoist's confusing words.

"That tomato is the shackle you put on yourself to confine yourself to the role of a supporting actor."

"You just beat it and broke the shackles, so you can see me here." The old Taoist explained.

"Beat Fanfan? But I have beaten it before, why didn't I see you then?" Tao Zhi wondered.

"The hit was not hard enough." The old Taoist said quietly.

Tao Zhi fell into deep thought.

"So you are the door you mentioned?" Tao Zhi asked.

"I'm not." The old Taoist replied quickly.

Tao Zhi became furious when he heard this and became extremely angry.

"Then why have you been hanging around in this corner for so long?" Tao Zhi said with a grin.

"Wow, three world lines. I've waited for you so hard, you have to let me complain about you." The old Taoist waved his hand.

Tao Zhi couldn't help twitching his mouth when he heard this.

"So what should I do now? What I do affects the quality of your work. You and I are on the same page. Can you give me some constructive suggestions?" Tao Zhi asked.

The old Taoist handed the fourth ball, which still had a faint glow, to Tao Zhi.

"You've been searching for the answer for so long, going around in circles, but the answer is right in front of you."

"Acknowledge that you are the protagonist of your own life. Acknowledge that you deserve to be loved and deserve happiness."

"It's that simple." The old Taoist said gently.

Tao Zhi took the ball, and felt the warmth in his palm. His eyes fell on the picture in the center of the ball, where he was holding the ball.

Tao Zhi's gaze met his own in the ball, and his heart felt as if a huge rock had fallen, causing ripples.

There was a sudden glow in my hand, shining brightly.

Tao Zhi stretched out his hand, the ball slipped out of his hand, and then he looked at the old Taoist.

"I should go out now." Tao Zhi said.

"Okay, Ahri will take you out."

"See you again if we're lucky." The old Taoist said with a smile.

"No, I don't want to see you again." Tao Zhi rolled his eyes.

Tao Zhi put his hands in his pockets and followed the cat out the door in a nonchalant manner. He stopped at the door, turned his head, looked at the galaxy behind him, and remained silent for a few breaths.

"Old liar."

"Thank you for bringing me to this beautiful dream, which has allowed me to obtain everything that was once out of reach."

"Also, the locust flowers in Daoyuan Temple are really beautiful." Tao Zhi shouted.

The old Taoist said nothing, but just waved to Tao Zhi at the door.

Tao Zhi pushed open the door, stepped out, and walked leisurely along the dark blue path he came up. At the end of the path, Tao Zhi stepped into empty air.

Tao Zhi suddenly opened his eyes and found that Gong Cheng and others had surrounded him.

"Sir, you finally woke up!" Gong Cheng cried with red eyes.

"Damn, this rotten tomato actually launched a sneak attack. If I hadn't held it tightly, it would have popped out." Lang Bushin curled his lips.

Gong Cheng helped Tao Zhi to stand up. Tao Zhi's legs were shaking and half of his body was leaning on Gong Cheng.

"What should I do now? It's the last few minutes. Am I destined to die here? Isn't there usually a turning point at the end of a novel? Where is the turning point?" Lang Bushin said dejectedly.

"Lang Bushin, you are right. The ending of a novel always has a bloody turn." Tao Zhi said.

Lang Bushin was puzzled when he heard this.

"Brother Tao, what do you mean by this?" Lang Bushin asked excitedly.

Tao Zhi looked at Gong Cheng in front of him with a smile in his eyes.

"Xiao Cheng, your husband has found a way out. I know how to complete the task."

"The world line will not be cleared, and no one will die as a result."

"Everyone will have a happy ending as I wish." Tao Zhi said gently.

Gong Cheng did not look happy about this, but felt uneasy.

If the mission is completed, sir, will he have to return to his original world?

"Are you one of the people who will have a happy ending?" Gong Cheng asked.
