The Villain Has A Yuri Halo [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 20

Dark clouds gathered one by one in the sky. The gloomy light in the car made Li Ju’s mood sink even more. She was a little tired of System 666’s notifications, not because she was about to die, but because it was supposed to be a happy Friday.

She had gotten off work early on a whim and even specially asked her assistant to order a bouquet of her favorite white roses. Speaking of white roses, Li Ju couldn’t help but think of that woman. It was Friday, and Tang Qingqing definitely had time since she didn’t have classes in the afternoon. With Tang Qingqing by her side, Li Ju wouldn’t have to play a one-person show at the hospital.

Her plan was perfect, but the voice of System 666 made this ordinary Friday extraordinary.

[Host, why aren’t you reacting?!]

[Accept the system’s application now!]

System 666 was puzzled. It felt like Li Ju was acting strange, but it couldn’t pinpoint what was off.

Li Ju averted her gaze from the man and woman under the sycamore tree. She pinched a petal on one of the white roses, and the deep imprint left a new bruise on the flawless white flower.

Li Ju thought for a moment and called her father, but no one answered.

She tried calling her grandmother, but again, no one answered.

Li Ju ran her fingers through her hair, her eyes showing a hint of weariness, as if she was reluctant to leave this world.

[Host!]

Li Ju said calmly, “I know. Don’t rush me. I’m about to die. You don’t seem to feel sorry for me at all!”

[This isn’t the first time the host has died. It’s as easy as drinking water for you. Does 666 need to give the host comfort?]

System 666 was not a human, and no matter how advanced it was, it still lacked a heart.

But Li Ju was oddly convinced. She paused, then looked down and laughed at herself. “What’s wrong with me? I’m not a rookie. Why am I getting so sentimental?”

System 666 reminded her that she was just a task-runner, and the body she was in was destined to be recycled. Once a person was dead, what feelings could be left?

Li Ju’s expression was indifferent, her eyes as calm as water. She picked up the bouquet of white roses, stared at them for a moment, and then tenderly stroked the petal she had bruised. She whispered to herself, “When I die, you’ll miss me, right?”

The “you” she was referring to was Tang Qingqing, the woman who was like the bruised white rose. She had endured a lot of Li Ju’s teasing, but she still maintained the most beautiful color in the world.

Suddenly, Li Ju frowned. A drop of bright red blood appeared on her fingertip.

“Where did this thorn come from?”

A thorn was hidden under the bud, and Li Ju hadn’t noticed it, so she was pricked.

Li Ju said helplessly, “Well, look at you. You’re getting revenge on me.”

She didn’t think much of it and pulled out a tissue to wipe the blood.

But soon, the sharp, stinging pain from the wound made Li Ju’s casual demeanor disappear. Her brows furrowed as if she was witnessing something bizarre and terrifying.

“It was just a thorn from a rose. Why does it hurt more than having my spirit root removed in the cultivation world?!”

A strong sense of weakness spread through Li Ju’s body. Her breathing became heavy, and she felt dizzy, as if she were hallucinating.

[…Beep…beep…]

[Parasite…parasite successful!]

[What a fragrant human!]

[Huh? Why is there another parasite already here?]

[Beep…injecting energy into the body, sleep, sleep!]

A suffocating feeling from a lack of oxygen forced Li Ju to use all her strength to open her heavy eyes. When she looked around in a panic, she found that all the discomfort had disappeared!

“666!”

[I’m here.]

Li Ju held her head, about to ask 666 what had just happened, but the sight before her made her eyes widen.

Where… where was the bloody tissue?

And what about the wound on her hand? Where did that big cut go?!

Even though Li Ju would sometimes slack off during her missions, it didn’t mean she was incompetent. She was experienced, well-traveled, and a veteran of her department.

And yet, even she couldn’t escape the shock of this incident.

[Host, what’s wrong?]

“I was pricked by a thorn.”

[When did that happen?]

Li Ju pursed her lips speechlessly. “Scan my body.”

[Right away.]

System 666 was fast, and Li Ju didn’t have to wait long.

[Based on the system scan, all of the host’s bodily functions are normal. Body is perfect, soul is perfect.]

Li Ju’s worried heart slowly settled. She frowned in confusion. Since everything was normal, what did she hear just now? It couldn’t be that there was a higher-level being than System 666, could it?

Could a higher-level being live inside a rose thorn?

That… that’s impossible, right?

[Host, please accept the mission!]

Li Ju composed herself and got out of the car, lazily putting her hands in her pockets.

She looked at the pair of people under the sycamore tree not far away. Their shared glance made Li Ju’s eyes darken. “That boy toy has a really bright smile. I’ll make sure he gets to eat my car hood later.”
