So this villain was a classic "lone star of misfortune."
Anyone who got close to her was doomed!
Those close to her would unknowingly be killed, while those distant would be consciously cut down...
What kind of situation was this?!
Xu Zhen wanted to scream!
She never imagined that sweet, obedient Little Beggar could be the book's major villain.
Even more surprising was how well she got along with this villain.
Someone like her was obviously set up to be cut down later!
Even if she wasn't killed, imagining Little Beggar, unaware of her condition, in pain if she ever developed feelings was heartbreaking for Xu Zhen.
This setup was garbage.
Xu Zhen banged her head on the bed, trying to clear her mind.
Once she calmed down, she remembered she had a system!
The store had sold pills before. If the system offered a detoxifying pill, it might cure Little Beggar.
She hurriedly opened the system's store interface.
Unfortunately, no pills were available this time—only books.
Besides, there was a golden oval in the bottom right corner.
It was the first time Xu Zhen had seen such an oval. Upon inspection, it was labeled "Five-minute Conversation with AI."
It wasn't too expensive, only thirty points.
Thinking it was a bargain, Xu Zhen bought the oval.
The moment she clicked purchase, a voice sounded in her mind.
"System 001 at your service. To ensure quality, this call is limited to five minutes and will be recorded. To agree, please mentally say 'ok.'"
Stunned for a moment, Xu Zhen grasped at this lifeline, mentally yelling, "okokokok!"
The system asked, "What difficulties are you facing?"
With a sense of resignation, Xu Zhen asked, "Is this really the world of a book?"
The system gave a definitive answer: "Yes. The plot is progressing as expected, with the host's actions being the only variable."
Xu Zhen accepted it. She herself had died and come back to life; being in a reborn world that was a book didn't seem that shocking.
She sorrowfully explained Little Beggar's situation to the system, then asked, "So, do you sell detoxifying pills?"
The system replied, "Antidotes refresh randomly. The host just needs to wait patiently; a detoxifying pill will eventually appear."
Xu Zhen asked weakly, "What if I don't get one? What if the villain goes mad? Do you know how well we get along? I read to her every day, and I've even fed her. She's so sweet! How can she be a villain?!"
