Chapter 245

[Luo Luo, I miss you so much, my dear sister...]

[Luo Luo, why did you become like this? What happened to your body?]

[Dear sister, my body is... Ah...]

The System's voice trailed off, and it immediately let out a series of agonizing screams. A surge of electricity flashed, and the System's voice vanished without a trace.

[Luo Luo... what's going on? Luo Luo...]

[I am the Second Doppelganger System, temporarily serving the host on behalf of the Primary System. Since the seal on the host is showing signs of loosening, this system will forcibly strengthen the seal on the host.

Four, three, two, one... forcibly sealing the host's memories.]

[Wait, what about Luo Luo? What happened to him? Where is his body?]

Before Lin Zaozao could finish speaking, a powerful electric current surged through her body, causing her to involuntarily tremble in pain.

Meanwhile, Gu Shan, Ye Yi, Xiao Liuli, and others who had been surrounding Lin Zaozao and trying to get closer to her saw a brilliant, blinding light erupting from her body, forcing everyone to shield their eyes.

[Luo Luo, Luo Luo?]

[Sealing complete. When the host awakens again, the Primary System will provide optimal service after everything has been sorted out.]

As the cold, mechanical electronic voice faded away, Lin Zaozao's body collapsed uncontrollably to the side.

In the moment before she closed her eyes, she saw a boyish figure with a doll-like face trailing behind her, sweetly calling her "dear sister."

That was her...

"Zaozao, Zaozao!"

Gu Shan crawled over to the fallen Lin Zaozao, his eyes reddening as he trembled and slowly pulled her into his embrace.

Cradling the unconscious Lin Zaozao, tears welled up in Gu Shan's eyes. He cursed himself for letting his beloved go rescue those emotionless, undead beings.

Now, his dear one had paid the price for it.

What did those people have to do with him? The only one he cared about was Zaozao.

Why did he have to hurt his love for the sake of outsiders?

Was he foolish?

He deserved to die! Truly deserved to die!

"Zao, Zaozao. I don't want you to save anyone anymore. I don't need you to save anyone. Let them die, it has nothing to do with me.

Zaozao, I beg you, don't scare me like this. I beg you, I beg you. Don't scare me, don't scare me, wake up quickly..."

"Gu Shan, let me see Zaozao," Ye Yi crawled over and reached out to examine her condition.

"Get away! No one is allowed to touch her. She's mine, mine alone! Anyone who dares to take her from me, I'll kill them!"

Pushed aside, Ye Yi looked at the naked killing intent in Gu Shan's eyes, his heart sinking.

Gu Shan was on the verge of going insane.

This was bad. Once Gu Shan lost his rationality, how many of those present would survive?

Before Ye Yi could get up from the ground, Gu Shan wrapped one arm around Lin Zaozao while gripping the throat of the puppet assassin called Qiu Shi with his other hand, his eyes glowing red as he spoke:

"It's all your fault. If Zaozao hadn't saved you, she wouldn't have ended up like this. If you die, will Zaozao be okay?"

"National Master, what happened to Zaozao earlier? Why did such a powerful force emanate from her body?" Ye Yi asked worriedly, holding Lin Zaozao's hand.

"Ye Yi, you should know. The Grand Priest Xibei and I share a bond from our previous lives with Zaozao.

Now, Xibei and I can recall what happened in our past lives, but Zaozao has no memory of her previous life.

The reason Zaozao can't remember her past life is because someone sealed away her memories.

If she suddenly regains those memories before the appointed time, the overwhelming flood of memories without any buffer would drive her insane.

What happened to Zaozao earlier was triggered by a massive shock, causing the seal on her to loosen."

"National Master, quickly reinforce the seal then! Now that it's loosened, what if Zaozao suddenly remembers everything from before?" Ye Yi urged.

"Ye Yi, neither Xibei nor I have the ability to do that. The one who sealed Zaozao's memories is not us."

"To be honest, the sacrificial abilities that Ye Yi, Xiao Liuli and I possess were originally Lin Zaozao's from her previous life. She divided her sacrificial abilities into two parts and gave them to us."

"Wh-what? Your sacrificial abilities were given to you by Lin Zaozao. Then what was Lin Zaozao's identity in her previous life? Was she...?"

"Correct, Lin Zaozao's previous life was that of an astonishingly talented and erudite Grand Priest. Her identity as a sacrificer was so revered that even I, as an emperor, had to bow to her.

Such an extraordinarily gifted and beautiful person, yet she met a tragic end to her life because of a villain."

Xiao Liuli looked at Lin Zaozao, who was tightly embraced by Gu Shan, and his eyes were filled with the vision of a bloody mist.

A person of such lofty status!

How could she have met such a wretched demise!

Ye Yi and Xiao Liuli saw the pallor on Xiao Liuli's face, but they could not bring themselves to ask any further questions.

Lin Zaozao's ending in her previous life must have been dreadful.

Otherwise, the National Master would not be so grief-stricken now...

When Lin Zaozao woke up again, the first thing she saw upon opening her eyes was a handsome face.

Gazing at the handsome face before her, Lin Zaozao's eyes lit up with delight.

Oh heavens! She had just awakened, and God had already placed such a dashing man before her.

This must be a test of her self-control, right?

Unfortunately, Lin Zaozao had no self-control whatsoever when it came to handsome men, especially since this handsome man was her significant other.

Thinking this, Lin Zaozao embraced Gu Shan's face and planted a firm kiss on his lips.

Hmm! The taste was off!

Lin Zaozao turned her head and spat out some saliva, only then noticing the faint traces of blood on Gu Shan's face.

Had she just licked the blood off Gu Shan's face into her mouth?! The metallic taste of blood in her mouth made Lin Zaozao grimace and immediately feel nauseous.

Oh dear! She had just kissed the blood off Gu Shan's face into her own mouth.

"Zaozao, you're awake!"

Meeting Gu Shan's delighted gaze, Lin Zaozao stuck out her tongue and hugged his waist, pouting playfully.

"My dear Gu Shan, how long has it been since you last bathed? To be honest, you're starting to stink."

"Really... that bad?"

Gu Shan raised his arm and took a whiff, indeed, the odor was quite pungent.
