Unfinished draft, I’ll look at it later!

The System was stunned as well. It seemed to want to say something, yet didn’t know what to say. [Host...]
Shen Tang just let out a soft laugh. "No need to rush to explain. I know—you bound yourself to me for the sake of an experiment too."
Her voice was very soft, as if it would be blown away by the wind in the next second, yet it was piercingly clear, as though it had seen through many things. "Even though I don’t know why you helped me so much, even went so far as to rebel against the Main System for me, after all this time, I’ve slowly come to understand a lot."
"From the moment I was born, I’ve never known who my parents were. Even when I tried to search for information about them when I was little, those so-called parents were like they didn’t exist in this world at all, leaving no trace of information behind."
"I do have nineteen years’ worth of memories from a previous life. In my recollections there were clearly familiar friends and so many experiences, yet for some reason, whenever I tried to think about them carefully, those memories felt both clear and blurry. No matter how I tried, I couldn’t recall many details. It was like watching someone else’s movie—so familiar yet so foreign to me, to the point that it filled me with an indescribable fear..."
"I suddenly realized that all those past memories might be fake, just information someone implanted into this brain of mine, just like with that No. 3 experimental subject—thinking they were real memories when they were all false..."
"It suddenly made sense. Turns out, I am that No. 2 experimental subject."
"Why don’t I have parents? Because my memories were fake to begin with. Since they’re just irrelevant fabricated memories, of course the simpler the better. Only by removing the closest blood ties would they be less likely to be exposed."
She gave a self-mocking smile. "So when you first bound yourself to me, System, I wasn’t some lucky one-in-a-million chosen one at all, and it wasn’t any sudden death from staying up late. I’m just like Shen Qingli and that No. 3 experimental subject—we’re nothing but lab rats in a laboratory."
"That so-called ’original plot’ is just another stretch of fake memory, right? Set up with the variables of heroine and side heroine, forcing them to slaughter each other according to different life scripts... What kind of satisfying answer is this experiment trying to achieve, exactly?"


"Thank you for walking this road with me."
