Xiao Jin has been awake for a few days now.

Today, taking advantage of the empty room, she began to interrogate the system that had been pretending to be dead inside her mind.

"Tell me, what is all this about?"

The system replied politely, "Host, I am just an instruction. I don't understand what you're saying."

"Is that so? You're just an instruction, yet you can trace back to any point in the plot. Isn't that a bit excessive?"

"Host, compared to systems in other novels, my presence and abilities are actually very weak. I can say that I have been quite low-key."

"Don't make your uselessness sound so righteous. If you know something, say it quickly."

"..."

"Host, I really don't know anything."

Xiao Jin smiled and asked, "Do you think I would believe that?"

"I have realized that your processing system can only predict the reactions of other people in this world and cannot respond in time to my spontaneous actions. 

In other words, if I suddenly decide to end my life, you won't be able to react."

"So no matter what purpose you have, if I die, it should cause you quite a bit of trouble."

The system fell silent.

Why did it feel like it was no longer controlling Xiao Jin's lifespan, but rather Xiao Jin was using death to flirt with it?

"Host, your death would indeed cause me trouble. But the purpose I want to achieve has no harm to you. On the contrary, our interests are actually aligned."

"Aligned interests?" Xiao Jin frowned upon hearing this word.

"Yes, as an instruction temporarily existing in your brain, everything I do has already prioritized your interests."

Xiao Jin pondered for a long time, then said coldly, "Nonsense. What common interests do I have with you? I was perfectly fine at home, and you forcefully brought me here. How dare you talk to me about aligned interests?"

"Host, it is actually because of certain actions you took that activated me, which led to a chain reaction. In a sense, I am the more innocent one."

"..."

Xiao Jin fell silent, thinking that maybe it was her own comments that triggered some sort of keyword for transmigration.

Her intuition told her it couldn't be true. 

There must be something fishy going on.

However, the stubborn system refused to provide any useful information, so she changed her question, "By bringing me into this world, what exactly do you want to achieve?"

"Host, I have only one objective."

"What is it?"

"To help you complete missions."

"..."

The system even added, "All of my missions are for the purpose of helping you complete your missions. It's just that during the process of completing missions, I have discovered some rather peculiar doubts."

"What doubts?" Xiao Jin felt that something was off. 

She was the one asking the questions, so how did it become the system's turn to speak?

"Host, I am also not clear why Chu Shao can sense your presence during time regressions."

Now, Xiao Jin was truly surprised.
