When hearing this series of system prompts, Lu almost burst out with swear words.

Damn you.

Even if her mind was not clear at this moment, she could clearly understand that this was a trap designed for her by the system.

The so-called hidden plot is a hidden content specially made to make up for the deviation of the main line. If she completes all the main line tasks today, exposes Xiao Wu's identity and lets the main line go according to the original situation, then this hidden plot will not appear. But now that the main line is deviated, it must be filled with hidden plots.

What saint, what lost, it's all nonsense. How could a seven-year-old child get lost in such a large Spirit Hall full of masters? The only explanation is that the system has done something wrong. The system used special power to block Spirit Hall's perception of her, and buried a time bomb that would explode when she disobeyed the main plot.

Obviously, Bibi Dong knew about this. Judging from the fact that she possessed the power of black fog, she might be related to the system.

"What Saintess?" Dai Mubai was completely confused. No matter how blind he was, he could see that all the Spirit Hall's spirit masters were kneeling in the direction of Lu Ye. "Lu Lu... Lu Lu, what are they talking about?"

Tang San and Xiao Wu looked at Lu Ye with shock in their eyes.

Lu Ye, is he from Spirit Hall?

Her unclear life experience suddenly became clear at this moment, and all the inexplicable things had a reasonable explanation - she was not a wanderer before the age of seven, but had always lived in the Spirit Hall. And when she was just picked up by Dean Flanders, she already had a white spirit ring, including all the spirit rings on her body. These spirit rings were not obtained by hunting, but as Bibi Dong said, they were "spirit rings given by God."

[Important NPC Bibi Dong has released a side quest: "The Saint Returns". 】

[1. Return to the Spirit Hall and become the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall.

2. Don’t deny your identity and past.

3. Don’t look back. 】

Once a side quest is started, if it is not completed, the ending is complete obliteration.

On the system panel, the four words "Don't Look Back" were written in bold and heavy fonts, and the thick ink color looked like twisted and hideous blood.

Lu Ye's eyes were bloodshot.

No one knew better than her that this ending was the price she paid in exchange for Xiao Wu's safety. Only if she became a villain, Xiao Wu's identity would not be discovered now.

"Sister Lulu..." Xiao Wu looked at her in disbelief, her eyes also full of bloodshot, "Tell me, this is not true, right?"

Lu didn't say anything. She raised her foot and took a step towards Bibi Dong.

Dai Mubai's anxious voice rang out: "Lulu!"

Two steps, three steps.

"Sister Lulu!" Ning Rongrong chased after her, "You must have some difficulties, right? It was the Spirit Hall that coerced you, right?"

The deer continued to move forward.

She knew very well that the system could tamper with people's cognition to a certain extent, and was especially good at aggravating certain emotions. As long as the Shrek Seven Devils had clear logic, they could actually judge that this matter was full of loopholes. However, now, the slightest suspicion generated by the shock would be infinitely magnified by the system.

She could not explain, nor could she turn back. And all her silence would eventually become evidence of her trial, fermenting under the influence of the system, proving that she was a true traitor.

This is what the system wants. To separate her from the protagonists, strip her of all her privileges, and make her a member of the villains, contributing to the balance of the main plot.

"Sister Lulu!" Oscar shouted, "Come back——"

Five steps, six steps, seven steps.

The three members of the Spirit Hall Academy team, Xie Yue, Yan, and Hu Liena, all showed extremely shocked expressions. However, since all the spirit masters knelt down, they had no choice but to obey and accept, and knelt down on one knee towards Lu Ye's position.

Tang San's mind was already in chaos.

He didn't understand what was going on, nor did he understand why his companion who he had been with day and night suddenly became the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall. He stared blankly at Lu Ye walking towards Bibi Dong step by step.

"She is an undercover sent by the Spirit Hall..." The strange voice in his mind that had troubled Tang San many times rang out, "She took away your honor in a despicable way, and then dedicated this honor to the Spirit Hall."

No, that's not the case.

Lu is not that kind of person.

"What alliance? It's just your wishful thinking." The voice sneered, "You have been deceived by her all along. She has never regarded you as a friend."

"She broke your vows long ago."

That’s not the case…

Tang San held his head in pain, but he couldn't stop the voice from ringing again and again, and those words that he denied again and again seemed to become real thoughts and images invisibly, imprinted in his mind. The girl's face in the memory was distorted, turning into a terrifying monster, laughing mockingly at him.

"Foolish, you were manipulated by a woman." The voice also said sarcastically, "All the glory originally belonged to you, but she took it all away from you."

Tang San hit his head with his fist. The people of Shrek Academy cried out in surprise. Xiao Wu grabbed his hand and asked him what happened in panic.

However, it was all in vain. Not only were the voices and thoughts that he denied and resisted not curbed, but they grew louder and louder and could not be driven out of his mind at all.

The voice kept saying that everything should have belonged to him.

The admiration and love of countless people, the position of the leader of the Shrek Seven Devils, the honor and reward of defeating the Spirit Hall, the center of attention. These should all belong to him.

It was the deer that also caused him to lose it all.

In the end, Tang San discovered in despair that the voice that kept appearing in his mind was his own voice.

It seemed as if he had always been the despicable and shameless person who had such thoughts.

"Brother," Xiao Wu's panicked voice sounded, bringing his thoughts back to reality, "Why, why are you crying?"

Tang San was stunned, and the moment he turned around, he saw his own reflection in Xiao Wu's pupils. He looked embarrassed now, his eyes were red, and there was a hint of irony in the corners of his mouth, but tears were flowing from his eyes, as if two completely opposite emotions were fighting on his face, fighting for control of this body.

"Tears are weak and useless." The voice that sounded exactly like his said in his mind, "From today on, she is no longer your companion, but your enemy. You must take back everything that originally belonged to you."

"Follow your truest thoughts... They will guide you to become a god and the only strongest person on this continent..."

[The protagonist's favorability towards the tasker has dropped significantly. 】

[Current favorability: 80.]

[Current favorability: 70.]

[Current favorability: 60.]

【…】

Thirty steps, thirty-one steps, thirty-two steps.

The deer had also become numb to the headaches.

The sun was shining brightly over the Pope's Palace, but her limbs were as cold and stiff as if she had fallen into an ice cave. At the fiftieth step, she walked in front of Bibi Dong and looked at this elegant and graceful woman who smiled at her.

It was a smile so pious that it was creepy, as if she was not looking at Luye, but was seeing a higher being through herself, the god she spoke of.

"The Saint has returned." Bibi Dong said, "May her light forever cover the Spirit Hall."

The malicious voice of the system was like a cold and sticky poisonous snake, and it hit her ears at the right time.

[Congratulations to the quester for completing the branch quest: "The Saint Returns". ]

[You have joined the villain: Wuhundian camp. ]
