Chapter 18 You chose me, idol!
Chapter 18 You chose me, idol!
After a few breaths, Yang Lan's consciousness gradually faded.
In the end, all I heard was the system notification tone.
[The participant has now been confirmed dead; the total reward for completing the game has increased by $1.]
When she opened her eyes again.
Once again, they returned to the room where the Free Ghost was.
The other party was still in a semi-ethereal state, almost vanished, and looked weak and listless.
"Why are you back so quickly? Did something happen?"
In less than ten minutes, the Free Ghost saw a white light appear before his eyes.
Once it was confirmed to be Yang Lan, it quickly reverted to its previously weakened form.
With nowhere to vent her anger, Yang Lan transformed into her Spinosaurus form and slammed her hand on the table, yelling and cursing.
"How dare you say that? It's all your fault! I was reincarnated as a baby and then suddenly disappeared."
Tell me more.
Free Ghost suppressed a laugh as he listened to Yang Lan's account. On the surface, he showed regret and sympathy, but inside he was overjoyed.
Seeing that the Free Ghost had shrank back, Yang Lan began to plot her own schemes again.
Anyway, you coward can't attack humans.
If I curse enough, it will definitely give me a better identity.
She had witnessed Free Spirit's cowardly and weak behavior over the past few weekends, not to mention that he had actually taken the initiative to reveal his weaknesses.
Humans must not be harmed.
He had just gone along with her wishes and given her great benefits.
Yang Lan increasingly believed that as long as she repeatedly used crying and making a scene, just like she usually did with Chinese government officials, she would definitely soften their hearts.
They forced the free spirit to act according to their own will.
However, the Free Ghost's next reaction surprised her.
No matter how much Yang Lan cried or made a scene, it would repeat the same thing with a regretful expression.
"Nobody wants this to happen."
"Maybe this is just a coincidence."
"It seems...it seems...to be true."
It's right. There are so many children in Liberty City. She was just unlucky and randomly ended up with a heartless mother.
Next time I'll definitely get a good start!
With that in mind, she stopped blaming the Free Spirit.
Quietly waiting for the second playthrough to begin.
Soon, another burst of white light appeared.
……
Second playthrough.
Yang Lan is still an infant. Although the incident didn't happen in a university restroom, the situation is strikingly similar.
Is there a big difference between the dilapidated park toilets and the public toilets at universities?
Yang Lan's defenses were instantly broken, and the negative energy in the dungeon increased by 20.
"Damn it! Why did I randomly turn into a baby again? This time it's in the park!"
Yang Lan resorted to her old trick, using her only remaining ability to cry.
This time, the crying did not attract her biological mother.
What appeared before her was a dirty stray dog with bald patches of fur on its body.
As a female college student with an innate ability to love animals, Yang Lan's first reaction upon seeing stray cats and dogs is always pity.
But seeing this drooling, bloodshot-eyed creature in front of him, he couldn't muster any sympathy.
Another reason is that the dog is bigger than her.
As the dog called.
The sound of dogs running and stomping on the grass.
The smell of excrement mixed with medicine and leaves gradually approached her.
Soon, four or five stray dogs came into Yang Lan's view. Each of them had red eyes, was drooling at her, and had rumbling stomachs.
Yang Lan could tell they were very hungry.
"Woof!"
One of the dogs opened its mouth and pawed at Yang Lan, followed by the other dogs, giving Yang Lan a taste of what is described in the female-oriented novel "I Spend the Night with Five Beast Husbands".
The scene was so beautiful that Yang Lan was speechless.
Negative energy +10, +30, +50...
……
Reborn and back in his room, he once again sought an opportunity to retaliate.
But the free spirit simply repeated the same old story.
"I'll trust you one more time!"
Third playthrough.
Still a baby.
This time it's different!
She was held in her mother's arms, while the biological mother was negotiating with the black man across from her who had a skull tattoo on his arm.
Being alive should be a joyful thing, but after hearing the contents of the negotiations between the two parties, Yang Lan could no longer feel happy.
"Franklin, please have mercy. I'm almost out of money to buy leaves. Can't you sell this child for a higher price?"
The black man shook his head and pouted helplessly.
"This is already the highest price I can offer. The Crocodile Gang next door only charges 100,000. We're already offering 150,000 for each medicine child, which is a lot."
"Okay, fine!"
With money exchanged for goods, Yang Lan, powerless to resist, was transferred from the free market to the Black Guild for 150,000.
In less than a day, she moved from the Black community to the university graduate school.
Johns Hopkins University Institute for Biological Studies?
Why does this name sound so familiar?
Without giving Yang Lan more time to familiarize herself with the equipment, she was quickly pushed onto the experimental table as a test subject, and this time a group of guys in white coats surrounded her.
Yang Lan's eyes widened, and she cried at the top of her lungs, trying to evoke the group's sympathy.
As she cried, a white man, as expected, wavered and wanted to save her.
The leading professor slapped him across the face.
"Stephenson, you good-for-nothing."
"I've said it countless times, a test subject is a test subject. They're not human."
"They are beings abandoned by God."
After slapping the other person, the professor then cupped their face in his hands, looked them in the eye, and spoke in a gentle, almost hypnotic tone.
"Remember that, Stephens. They are not like us."
"Moreover, the mother of this person is a severe drug addict who overdoses on lye, and her child was born with the drug. He is an excellent research subject."
"Do you understand? They are materials, research materials. They are monkeys that can be bought with money."
"What's wrong with using these monkeys for humanity, for the Hopkins Foundation, and for medical research!"
After a brief explanation, the professor turned around and continued giving instructions to the others.
"Several pediatric drugs under development in our lab have already entered the clinical trial stage, and this time we've encountered extremely valuable data. Please record the data carefully."
"Let's begin the experiment!"
"Yes, Professor," everyone responded in unison.
A wave of sadness washed over Yang Lan.
After the sorrow came an endless surge of anger.
Damn it, this is the third time in a row! It's always babies, and it gets worse every time!
I was actually tricked by that ghost!
Damn it, damn it, I deserve to die!
When I get back, I'll definitely settle the score with them.
What a kind ghost! He's clearly a vicious and despicable evil ghost.
In the mosaic-filled experiment, Yang Lan disappeared again.
This time, I lasted a total of 12 hours.
Returning to the room, I saw the Free Ghost leisurely drinking maggot coffee, smiling as he watched the entire process of me being censored in the lab.
She laughed out loud from time to time, completely unaware that Yang Lan had already returned.
Yang Lan was furious.
He slapped her across the face.
"Hey, hey, hey, this isn't China, your trick won't work on me."
The slap was blocked by the energy barrier, and Yang Lan's full-force attack hit the air.
"You wicked devil, you tricked me! Change it back right now!"
Seeing that Yang Lan had discovered the problem, Free Ghost dropped his disguise and burst into laughter.
Did I force you to choose an identity?
Did I force you to choose a child? Aren't babies children too?
"You...you...I..."
Yang Lan was stunned by the rebuttal and stammered, unable to refute it.
"Weren't they all chosen by you, idol?"
