After I Faked My Death, My Demon Lord Disciple Wanted Me Back - Chapter 2

Chapter 2

Because I completed the mission, the System gave me a generous reward-enough to live a life of leisure and luxury forever.

Lying in my sea-view villa, I felt it had been a pretty good deal.

Sure, I had suffered for ten years inside a book.

But now I could slack off for the rest of my life!

And so, I spent three months in blissful contentment.

Just when I thought I would be this happy forever, the System’s alarm blared in my head again.

A sense of unease rose in my heart. When I opened my eyes again, I had transmigrated back into the book.

God damn it.

I stood there in silence for a full three minutes, feeling as if my world had collapsed.

Unable to take it anymore, I asked the System, “I already finished the mission. What is the meaning of this?”

The System said in a mournful tone: [Although the Male Lead successfully fell to darkness… he has now gone too far down that path. The three realms are under immense shock, and now this world is on the verge of collapsing.]

I had a breakdown. “Isn’t this a redemption story? Send the Female Lead to redeem him! What’s the point of bringing me here!”

The System was also having a breakdown: [I don’t know either! But I detected that 99% of the Male Lead’s Resentment Value is because of you. So I could only bring you back, waahhh…]

[Your mission this time is to resolve his resentment and prevent the world from collapsing.]

Now the sky really had fallen…

The priority was to figure out the current situation, so I asked, “What year is it now?”

System: [Five hundred years later.]

How many?! Five hundred years?!

I let out a cold sneer. “Oh, so now that the kid is dead, you know to bring the milk? Now that the world is about to be destroyed, you know to look for me?”

Knowing it was in the wrong, the System simply played dead.

I looked down at my body and then in a mirror. I found that my appearance hadn’t changed, but I no longer had any spiritual power.

I had become a plain, ordinary mortal.

As I was thinking, a chorus of cries and screams came from outside. Many people were running in a blind panic.

I still didn’t understand the situation, so I grabbed a passerby and asked, “Hey, miss, what is everyone running from?”

The girl in blue clothes said hurriedly, “Run, quickly! That fiend is coming!”

“What fiend?”

“Who else could it be? The one who almost slaughtered the entire city before! Our city probably won’t survive this time. Run for your life!”

A faint suspicion formed in my mind. I asked, “Why does he want to slaughter the city?”

The girl in blue lowered her voice. “I heard that when that fiend was young, he was humiliated by many people. He’s likely here for revenge now.”

“And he doesn’t give people a quick death. He loves to lock them up and torture them bit by bit… until they have a mental breakdown and commit suicide. Only then is his heart’s hatred appeased.”

Lock them up and torture them bit by bit…?

So Xie Zhuo has such a high level of resentment because he didn’t get to personally torture and kill me…?

I let go of the girl’s hand.

The girl in blue continued to nag and urge me: “So we should hurry up and run. If he gets unhappy while taking his revenge and decides to kill everyone nearby, wouldn’t we be finished?”

I said calmly, “There’s no need to run.”

The girl looked at me in confusion. “Why not run? Your life is at stake!”

My heart was like dead ashes.

“Yeah, because I’m the enemy he’s looking for.”

And the one he hates the most.
