For the first time in his life, Tyler finally realized the helplessness that the male lead had to face whenever he would leave the world. After Neil died in his arms, all he could do was stare at the male lead's face for half a day before finally realizing that this person was really dead, not just playing a prank on him.
And before he could even sort out his emotions that were boiling in his heart, making him feel choked up, his system error bell rang again, giving him a migraine.
The system's message was another thing that made him curse this transmigration system.
[User360,
We regretfully inform you that the male lead's human body faced extreme blood loss, and he was unable to become a zombie because Hope hadn't killed him using her power. It was someone else who had killed him. If he were to die under the zombie's hands, he would have become a zombie, but unfortunately, things went beyond our imagination.
You don't need to dwell on who killed the [email protected]#&()vdj.]
[email protected]#&()vdj? Why did this feel more like a virus rather than a genuine host of the transmigration system?
[Your current mission is to stay back in this world for 100 more years before you can leave since you have taken the place of the female lead.]
Tyler's eyes widened at this. A hundred more years?!
[And don't worry about him. We would make him wait in his resting place for a long time before sending you both to the next world. But the mishap that happened in this world was greater than others.
Since the error has occured, we would make sure that you two wouldn't be able to make that mistake ever again. Please understand that this is for your own sake, and [email protected]#&()vdj willingly jumped in this pit to help you. So he would have to suffer a little more.
And the kind of suffering will be a bit different this time. From the next world onwards, we would restrict [email protected]#&()vdj's memories when you both have transmigrated into the worlds, only giving him a primary task. So you don't have to worry. But we're taking this step to prevent such mishaps from happening again in the future. And don't worry. He wouldn't be having amnesia like you. He would just forget about everything whenever he would take up a role with you in another world.
So we would really like to apologize. As compensation, we would answer one question related to you and [email protected]#&()vdj.]
Tyler's eyes widened when he saw the last sentence. He really was curious about that person. So he didn't hesitate before asking one question that had bugged him ever since the previous world. And he was sure that he had often thought about this before his memories were lost.
Now that he thought about it, the way the male lead was losing his memories gave him a hint of how he had probably lost his own memories. So this wasn't the first time such a mishap had happened.
He would think about this later. For now, he would just focus on asking that question.
Tyler quickly opened the typing panel and wrote something, double-checking his words before hitting the send button.
[Higher-ups, please tell me what kind of relationship was between him and me before we entered the transmigration system?]
After this, the system seemed to pause for a moment as if the higher-ups hadn't expected Tyler to ask this kind of question. They perhaps were sure that he would ask about the male lead's identity, and they were also prepared to answer it.
But when they saw this question, they were all stunned and started discussing how to best answer this question without offending any of the parties. It was because only one word could be used to describe the relationship between the two: complicated.
So the higher-up sitting before the screen wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and typed:
[User360,
You were junior, and [email protected]#&()vdj was your senior in your original world before you entered this transmigration system.]
Tyler stared at these words for a long time before he finally realized that something big had been revealed to him without any hesitation. But he was similarly confused. Senior and junior in what exactly? Were they in the military or school? Or worst, was it a cultivation world?
When he asked this question to the system, the latter only bluntly told him that 'this was the second question, and they were not obliged to answer that.'
For a moment, Tyler was frustrated before revealing a bitter smile on his face. So what if he finally knew about his and that person's relationship in the original world? Neil wasn't even alive! With whom would he share this secret? He would also have to stay alive for another hundred years on top of that!
So he simply cursed the system before closing the interface.
After that, he glanced at the male lead's dead body and traced the latter's cheeks before he softly pecked Neil's lips. "So you were my senior."
Tyler sighed and held Neil's body in his arms, carrying this person inside the room. This place was an apartment. So there was no shortage of rooms here. He took the male lead in one of the rooms and laid the dead body down on the bed before climbing beside him.
And just like that, Tyler kept lying on the bed, staring at the body unblinkingly for a long time before he scooted closer and hugged the man to sleep.
This was the first time he had to stay behind after the male lead died, and he was already finding it difficult. How would he live for another hundred years? His grip around the male lead tightened as he rubbed his face against Neil's arms.
The male lead's dead body was also that of a human. So Tyler couldn't even do anything to preserve it.
One thought suddenly entered his head, and he thought of trying it out.
Anyway, he had all the time in the world now. What else could he do but keep himself busy?
