【Target Unreachable!】
【You are Number 0!】
【Counterattack is Impossible!】
【Counterattack Will Be Struck by Lightning!】
Beep, beep, beep—
Jun Ye opened his eyes, the threatening voice of the “system” echoing in his mind like a scolding reprimand.
Before him was a pure white ceiling, a room with white walls all around, and the air was filled with the scent of disinfectant.
As his gaze shifted downward, he noticed two nurses pushing carts outside the window in the inner wall, and a person in a police uniform checking their watch.
Further down, he saw the white quilt and bed sheets, and his hand attached to an IV drip.
In the upper left corner of his vision, the system map displayed several yellow dots moving about and seven or eight green dots—this was the first time he had entered a new world with so many friendly allies.
There was something hard under his pillow, making his head slightly uncomfortable…
Click—
The door opened, and Jun Ye glanced at the system map.
A green dot, an ally.
A man in his early twenties walked in, wearing a military uniform, though his demeanor was far from that of a soldier. His striking white hair was particularly eye-catching.
“Captain, how are you feeling now? Dizzy? Seeing double? Can you tell how many fingers I’m holding up?” The newcomer held up his thumb and index finger.
Jun Ye felt an inexplicable urge not to respond, closing his eyes and rubbing his temple, pondering how to bluff his way through.
This person felt very familiar to him, clearly someone the original body knew well.
Captain… Was the original body also a soldier? But judging by the obvious dye job on the man’s hair, this military unit couldn’t be too formal.
The white-haired man, ignored, awkwardly retracted his fingers and seriously reported, “Ahem, Captain, this is the First Hospital. You’ve been unconscious for two hours. The lightning ability user who caused the commotion has already been sent to school for ideological education, but the psychic ability user who ambushed you hasn’t been found yet. The data team is still screening and searching…”
Jun Ye’s eyes suddenly snapped open.
A lightning ability user?!
He had initially been struck by lightning while dealing with an attack by a lightning ability user, which had somehow caused him to cross worlds, and then this “system” appeared.
Could it be… that this is his original world?
He had once suspected that the “system” had killed him—how could a mere Level 4 ability user have struck him dead?
Wait, from what this man said, was he ambushed by a psychic ability user? How could that be…
Jun Ye forced himself to calm down. He hadn’t merely dreamt all those experiences due to a psychic attack.
The system map was still there, and the system itself was still active. He had lived through five entirely different worlds, experiencing hundreds of years of life. If all of that had been fabricated, then whoever was behind it could no longer be called human.
“Captain?” The white-haired man asked worriedly, “Are you sure you’re not feeling dizzy or seeing double? The data team suspects that the psychic ability user is either Level 4 or close to Level 5. Don’t push yourself too hard—if there’s a problem, just say so, and we’ll figure it out together.”
Jun Ye: “Bai Mao1He literally calls him White Hair.”
“Yes, sir!”
Jun Ye: “…” So I really used to call him that…
“You can leave now.”
“Oh, yes, sir.” The white-haired man took two steps before turning back and asking, “Captain, do you want some water? Patients on TV always ask for water when they wake up.”
“…No.”
“Huh? Well, then, have a good rest. Let me know if you need water.” The white-haired man stepped out and gently closed the door.
Jun Ye closed his eyes, processing the known information with his somewhat aching head.
He had entered a new world, his original world.
In his memories from hundreds of years ago, he had been struck by lightning and transported to another world, but the white-haired man said he was ambushed by a psychic ability user.
Perhaps he had indeed been ambushed, but Jun Ye didn’t believe the worlds he had experienced were fake. It was more likely that he was in a world with similar experiences, or perhaps a parallel world.
One more thing, after leaving the last world, he hadn’t returned to the system space. His memory cut off the moment the person in his arms closed their eyes, and he was directly transported here.
His last two transfers had been rushed…
And those things the “system” had drilled into his mind—they didn’t add up.
From the start, it hadn’t informed him of any tasks, gave him low ratings after each world, emphasized “the task object is untouchable” in the last world, and now this “Counterattacker Will Be Struck by Lightning.”
It felt like… the blade had finally been revealed.
The “system” didn’t care if he pursued the task object, it stressed that he couldn’t be the pursuer, couldn’t take the lead.
Why?
Knock, knock, knock—
The door was knocked again, Jun Ye opened his eyes, and his peripheral vision caught sight of a red, almost black dot on the system map.
Jun Ye reached under his pillow.
“Come in.”
The door was pushed open.
“Miss Angel, do you need my help?” It was the white-haired man’s voice.
“Stay away from me, or I’ll report you for harassment.” A slightly androgynous female voice responded, making Jun Ye’s right eyelid twitch.
The outside quieted down. First came a medical cart, followed by a blonde, black-eyed woman in a pink nurse’s uniform.
Jun Ye’s eyelid twitched even more. He recalled a classic line—I’d recognize you even if you turned to ashes.
Maybe when you have strong feelings for someone, that person is naturally distinguished from others in your eyes.
So, even if you wear lipstick, a skirt, have a 36D bust, and appear as a red, almost black dot on the system map, I still…
“…” Jun Ye covered his eyes.
Why did the target in this world turn into a girl?!!
“Officer, why aren’t you looking at me? Are you having some wicked thoughts?” Jun Ye felt something soft pressing against him.
Hmm, two somethings.
Jun Ye moved his hand away, glancing at the seemingly gender-swapped target on top of him, then towards the window on the inner wall.
The white-haired man was wandering the hallway, occasionally casting glances in, with a “nothing unusual, nothing interesting here” expression.
The “nurse” gazed at Jun Ye with a soft smile, “Officer, don’t worry. The windows in our hospital rooms are one-way mirrors; no one outside can see what we’re doing in here.”
Jun Ye grabbed the hand that was reaching for his face.
A soft, delicate hand, as if it would break with a squeeze.
Jun Ye frowned, “Before you came in, two nurses passed by and greeted me.”
The “nurse” pretended to think seriously for a moment before quietly reaching out again, “Maybe your subordinates cleverly replaced the glass?”
—How handsome, the captain of the Chinese ability users, with such a strikingly handsome face. Even a frown or a glance makes my blood race.
Jun Ye caught the hand that was once again reaching for his face and asked, “What do you want?”
“Officer, you’re the one holding my hand right now. Shouldn’t I be asking what you want to do to someone as stunning as me?” The “nurse” winked at Jun Ye.
Jun Ye: “I want to throw you out.”
“You’re so cruel,” the “nurse” laughed, “Where’s your gun? Under the pillow?”
“Here?” The “nurse” nudged Jun Ye’s side with their knee, finding the gun by touch, but the knee didn’t stop there and moved further, pressing against Jun Ye.
They leaned in closer, teasingly, “Or… is it here?”
“…” Jun Ye angrily tossed the person off him.
—Damn it!
—You bent me2He means he made him gay, and you think you can turn me back?!
—36D still gets a firm rejection!
“Mmm, Officer, you look so charming even when you’re being aloof. It’s getting me all excited…”
The “nurse” smiled, lowering their gaze to rub their wrist. It didn’t hurt, but they couldn’t escape when restrained. A rose with thorns is the most enticing.
Jun Ye had just sat up and removed the needle from his hand. Hearing this, he turned to look at the 36D-chested target, paused, and asked expressionlessly, “Where are you excited?”
We’re finally reaching the original world!!! I hope we can get some insight about the system
Also, “Miss” Angel is definitely the most proactive of our targets lol, idk if it’s an act or not
Thanks for reading!
