Leap Forward Comics: Watch How I Become a Villainess

Chapter 158 This time, we can say goodbye properly.

"Am I going to die?" Lu He stared wide-eyed, muttering to herself.

"There is a possibility that you won't die..." the system quickly reassured.

"What do you mean by 'possible'?" Lu He gave him a look that said, "Are you even speaking human language?"

"It's just a matter of filling in a gap according to the original procedure, and it's possible to be considered successful."

"What do you mean? Make up for the shortcomings of the last hunting ground? Do you mean Li Cen should die?" Lu He couldn't believe that the system had the nerve to say such a thing.

"That's right. With Li Cen dead, you'll have filled in the missing pieces of the story and completed your mission. You might be able to get back on track."

"Don't you think that's ridiculous?" Lu He almost laughed out of anger.

"You're saying the only way for me to live is to recover the fragments of this story where Li Cen should have died? And there's no guarantee of success; it's possible that even if she dies, I'll still be eliminated?"

Faced with Lu He's barrage of questions, the system could only sheepishly hum in response.

"Why would you gamble with Li Cen's life? Even if she dies and I can live, I still won't choose that!" Lu He was truly fed up with the system's mindset of treating people in the comic book world like they weren't human.

"Sometimes I really don't understand you. They're just comic book characters. If they die, they die. Why do you always feel sorry for them?" the system asked, puzzled.

"But you also said that they are just beings living in different worlds, and that they also have their own feelings, isn't that what you said?"

"I did say that, but that's because you asked me what kind of world the comic book world actually is." The system was also losing patience.

"They are indeed from a different world than you, but the only way for your worlds to intersect is through the system, because you are not in the same dimension!"

The system clearly not only didn't understand Lu He on this matter, but was also annoyed that she was always so clueless.

If she always considers the emotions and lives of comic book characters in this way, she will encounter many difficulties during her missions.

Each system originally had its own performance targets to meet; its task was to ensure that 100 shuttles successfully completed the mission in the area it was responsible for.

Therefore, it really hates Lu He, a time traveler who seems to die halfway through the journey.

"Do you know what it means to be in a different dimension? It means that even if the entire world here were destroyed, it wouldn't affect your original world in the slightest. Your original world is in a higher dimension than this one."

"But didn't you say that time travelers have appeared in my world too?" Now it was Lu He's turn to be confused.

"I'm just saying you're in a higher dimension than the current one, not that you're in the highest dimension. The highest dimension is the world I live in."

The more the system spoke, the more alarmed Lu He became. Were there really so many dimensions to the world? And he was just a speck of dust in these dimensional worlds.

"Then what's the point of struggling? Just accept your fate." Lu He sighed.

"You!" The system's voice was unusually angry, tinged with disappointment. "What do you want to do?"

"I don't want to do anything. I'll just wait to die. Disappear in three days. I understand. I accept it." Lu He lay down on the bed and gave up.

She completely disagreed with the system's output.

If higher-dimensional beings could manipulate lower-dimensional beings at will, that would be truly appalling.

If she agrees to kill Li Cen, how is that any different from what the system in that world is currently doing?

Does the weak prey on the even weaker?

The system was silent for a long time before saying, "Have you thought this through? If you give up, you will really be erased. You will not return to the system, nor will you return to your original world."

"Well, even if no one in my original world remembers my existence, I'd rather disappear completely, as long as I don't agree to touch Li Cen." Lu He closed her eyes, wrapped herself in the blanket, turned over, and went to sleep.

I will stop arguing with the system.

Different road non-phase plan.

The system wisely stopped talking.

This time traveler is too difficult to manage; he's completely different from many other time travelers.

Once most shuttlers understand these mechanisms, they can figure out how to make choices after completing the first stop.

But this Lu He, this stubborn one, is still so naive even now, he's hopeless.

The system also decided to give up on her.

Sure enough, Lu He's condition worsened the next day. She vomited blood several times, and her face was pale with bloodless lips.

Li Cen came to see her again, but the look in his eyes was complicated.

"Your Majesty!" Lu He walked to the door and tried to kneel down to pay his respects, but his body swayed and he was unsteady.

Li Cen helped her up, saying, "No need. You don't need to bow to me anymore."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lu He was too lazy to refuse, since it would only be three days anyway.

Li Cen continued to stare at her, as if deep in thought.

"Does Your Majesty have something to say?" Lu He noticed her hesitant expression; there must be something on her mind.

Li Cen hesitated. Should he really tell her his feelings and thoughts for her?

just in case……

Doesn't that mean we can't even be friends anymore...?

"Your Majesty?" Lu He couldn't help but call out again when he saw her biting her lip and not speaking.

"Can you not call me Your Majesty?" Li Cen felt a little uncomfortable. "Aren't we close friends? Why be so formal?"

Lu He lowered his head: "Your humble servant dares not."

"Tomorrow is the imperial celebration of a general amnesty, come out and have some fun with me..." Li Cen smiled with relief. In the end, she didn't say anything. It was good to just be close friends like this.

“Alright.” Lu He smiled as well. “But where can His Majesty go for fun? Isn’t he restricted to his guards’ close protection, unable to move an inch?”

"No, I've already made arrangements. The two of us will wear ordinary clothes and play among the crowd, just like ordinary people."

"Will the palace agree? What about His Majesty's safety?" Lu He was worried. What if something happened to him in the crowd without any protection?

"Don't worry, dressed like an ordinary person, he'll blend into a crowd. Guards won't be able to find him, and neither will assassins," Li Cen joked.

Although I'm still a little worried, since the system has already promised not to kill Li Cen, it shouldn't go back on its word.

Lu He readily agreed.

The two left the dormitory entrance separately, each lost in their own thoughts.

Having walked dozens of meters away, Li Cen realized that Lu He was no longer in sight, so he turned to ask the palace maid beside him.

"What did the imperial physician say this morning?"

"They say... his days are numbered..." the palace maid said tremblingly.

Li Cen frowned slightly but said nothing more.

Lu He was almost at the palace gate. Her steps were unsteady, and she looked like she might collapse at any moment.

The head palace maid, Qiu Xue, who was standing beside her, couldn't help but urge her to go back and rest.

Lu He shook her head: "It's okay, I won't die yet, it's not time for me to die." She smiled easily.

"What time?" Qiu Xue was stunned. When the imperial physician came to see her this morning, she was still fast asleep. He said she might only have half a month left to live. She shouldn't have heard that.

"It's nothing. What I mean is, I want to prepare some things before tomorrow..." to say a proper goodbye to Li Cen.

This time, she didn't want to miss the chance to say goodbye again.
