Scum Gong Walks the Career Line in the Crematorium

Shu Shuangyu stared fixedly at Lin Hanchuan, revealing a nauseating greed and salivation.

Even though Pei Cun didn’t know what he was up to, he was certain it couldn’t be anything good and couldn’t help but chuckle, “Take back that disgusting look, or else…”

“Or else what?” Shu Shuangyu subconsciously retorted, but as soon as the words left his mouth, he knew he had exposed his intentions and regretted it.

Pei Cun scanned him and noticed his clenched fists. He took a step forward and forcibly snatched something from Shu Shuangyu’s hand.

No matter how much Shu Shuangyu struggled, he couldn’t resist Pei Cun’s strength and had to let go of the Love Card, his eyes reddening, “What are you doing? Let go of me! Who do you think you are, stealing my things…”

As he struggled, Shu Shuangyu couldn’t help glancing at Lin Hanchuan with a pitiful look.

However, Lin Hanchuan remained indifferent, coldly observing Shu Shuangyu being bullied, and didn’t even spare him an ounce of attention, focusing solely on Pei Cun.

Inwardly fuming, Shu Shuangyu asked the system, [“What’s going on? Who is this person and why does he know I have a prop?”]

Before the system could answer, Shu Shuangyu came up with his own conclusion, [“Is he also a mission taker?”]

The system remained silent.

[“You said that once I completed the mission, I could return to the real world. Why are there other mission takers appearing?”] Shu Shuangyu’s mind was in turmoil.

During the quick transmigration, Shu Shuangyu knew that these small worlds were all virtual. He treated all the characters as NPCs and only wished to return to reality.

But now, there were mission takers in this so-called “reality”!

For the first time, Shu Shuangyu doubted the world. Could it be that he hadn’t actually left the quick transmigration world? Was all of this just an illusion created by the system?

The more he thought about it, the more confused Shu Shuangyu became.

When he saw Pei Cun pick up the small Love Card, roughly the size of two fingers, Shu Shuangyu couldn’t help but hold his breath. He disliked this white-haired man who revolved around Lin Hanchuan, but if… if he accidentally used the Love Card on himself, causing him to fall deeply in love…

Looking at Pei Cun’s handsome and almost enchanting face, Shu Shuangyu found himself somewhat intrigued.

However, Pei Cun merely held the Love Card with a faint smile, played with it between his fingers for a moment, and then raised an eyebrow, casually tossing the small card out of the window, disappearing into the unknown.

Seeing Pei Cun’s cold expression, Shu Shuangyu’s pupils contracted, unconsciously taking a step back.

“Pei Cun, don’t take action.” Lin Hanchuan stopped Pei Cun, his expression dangerous, but his reasoning was, “Taking action is against the law, and it’ll cause trouble for you.”

…

Why did this happen? When Shu Shuangyu was “invited” out of the Lin Corporation, he was still in a daze.

How could someone be immune to system props? Was this world real or fake? And was this Lin Hanchuan… the same Lin Hanchuan he had been yearning for all these years?

In a daze, Shu Shuangyu took heavy steps forward, suddenly feeling something amiss. He turned around abruptly and saw a stray dog, as tall as his calf, staring at him with a drooling mouth. The dog barked and dashed towards Shu Shuangyu with all its might.

Caught off guard, Shu Shuangyu was knocked to the ground by the stray dog, screaming in fear. The dog didn’t harm him; instead, it fervently licked his face, trying to find a suitable spot on him.

In this familiar Teddy-like posture… Shu Shuangyu screamed even more miserably, wailing for help.

Surrounding them, a crowd had gathered, and some people took out their phones to record videos, the laughter echoing in Shu Shuangyu’s ears, making him feel a mix of resentment, embarrassment, and shame, his face turning red.

“What’s going on with this guy? Why is the dog behaving like this towards him?”

“I don’t know, maybe his female dog is in heat, and the scent on him is provoking the dog?”

“I can’t stop laughing, a grown man being pinned down by a dog, hilarious scene.”

“Don’t worry, young man, the dog doesn’t seem to have any ill intentions toward you. It’ll calm down soon.”

“Hey, you know what, this guy is quite good-looking. No wonder he attracts even male dogs.”

Amidst the laughter, Shu Shuangyu’s vision blurred, and he almost fainted.

[After investigation, the Love Card was swallowed by the stray dog] The system suddenly spoke up.

Shu Shuangyu clenched his teeth and hated Pei Cun even more. He fiercely tried to push away the stray dog that was jumping towards him while retreating in a state of disarray.

In this embarrassing and infuriating situation, Shu Shuangyu secretly made a vow: If someone could save him and take him away, he would definitely fall in love with that person!

As if in response to his plea, Shu Shuangyu’s eyes fell on a familiar face in the crowd. However, next to that face was still the hateful white-haired man.

In his rage, Shu Shuangyu actually fainted.

When Shu Shuangyu woke up again, he found himself lying on a large, luxurious bed, surrounded by low-key luxury furnishings that appeared to be extremely expensive.

Shu Shuangyu felt delighted, thinking that Lin Hanchuan did have feelings for him and was willing to bring him home.

As he began to imagine how to intentionally yet naturally seduce Lin Hanchuan, someone entered the room.

The moment he saw that person, Shu Shuangyu’s blood seemed to freeze.

The person was dressed in a perfectly tailored military uniform, and the all-black attire highlighted his extraordinary handsomeness and coldness, like a chilling sharp blade. Only when he saw Shu Shuangyu did his expression soften slightly, “You’re awake? How do you feel?”

Shu Shuangyu recognized this person, and he could even say that he was extremely familiar with him.

He was Lu Xiu, a character that Shu Shuangyu had once pursued in a world.

He thought he would never see this person again in his lifetime, but now he appeared before him once more, causing Shu Shuangyu’s vision to go dark, especially since he left that world with an escape and didn’t know what happened to Lu Xiu afterward…

Seeing that Shu Shuangyu didn’t answer, Lu Xiu felt a bit worried. He walked closer, wanting to feel Shu Shuangyu’s forehead, “What’s wrong? Do you still have a headache?”

“It’s nothing.” Shu Shuangyu instinctively turned his head, avoiding Lu Xiu’s hand, and forced a dry laugh, asking, “What’s going on? How did I end up here…”

While he tried to maintain an appearance of forced calmness, Shu Shuangyu’s heart was completely breaking down inside.

[System! System, come out and explain to me what’s going on! Why did Lu Xiu appear? I knew this room’s layout looked familiar; it turns out to be Lu Xiu’s room… System, you must give me an explanation!]

This time, the system didn’t stay silent and replied, [“Due to your perfect pursuit of the protagonist and the antagonist, earning a full 100 Love Points, after you left, all the pursued characters blackened, and the small worlds were on the verge of collapse. You need to re-pursue them and cleanse the blackening value to return to the real world.”]

[“You blame me for completing the mission too perfectly?”] Shu Shuangyu was shocked and furious, [“Why didn’t you inform me in advance?”]

[“Please continue to strive and cleanse the blackening value of the pursuit targets.”]

The system’s mechanical voice almost infuriated Shu Shuangyu, [“Then at least tell me, what’s the progress of the plot now?”]

This time, the system didn’t refuse.

In this world, humans had already ventured into space, exploring the entire universe. Apart from humans, there were cosmic Zerg clans that lived in space, devouring everything in their path, consuming one planet after another.

The human territory was shrinking until Lu Xiu emerged as a military family member who had sacrificed everything to protect humanity. Lu Xiu accidentally discovered a method to deal with the Zerg clans, driving them out of human planets and becoming a hero for humanity.

When Shu Shuangyu received the mission to pursue Lu Xiu, he pretended to be an orphan whose parents were killed by the Zergs, pitiful and helpless, and clung to Lu Xiu.

When Lu Xiu’s Love Points reached 99, Shu Shuangyu staged his own death, making himself be devoured by the Zergs in front of Lu Xiu. At that moment of his death, the Love Points jumped to 100.

From then on, he would be Lu Xiu’s eternal, untouchable scar.

However, Lu Xiu didn’t know that Shu Shuangyu was simultaneously pursuing another target, a young future villain named Xia Zuo.

Unlike the distinguished Lu Xiu, Xia Zuo was a genuine orphan who witnessed the Zergs devouring his parents. He became a delinquent with nowhere to go.

While Shu Shuangyu was pretending to pursue Lu Xiu, he also revealed his fabricated identity to Xia Zuo, who quickly became close to him due to their similar experiences. Under Shu Shuangyu’s deliberate efforts, Xia Zuo’s Love Points also soared.

Xia Zuo also witnessed the scene where the Zergs devoured Shu Shuangyu, experiencing once again the pain of losing loved ones to the Zergs. His Love Points reached 100, and his blackening value also reached 100.

The Zergs were indeed hateful, but the intricate human power struggles caused delayed rescue, leading to the death of everyone he cared about… Xia Zuo not only wanted to exterminate the bugs but also sought to destroy humanity.

Now, it had been three years since Shu Shuangyu escaped death.

Lu Xiu had become a hero for humanity, but his hatred for the Zergs intensified because of his beloved’s death, and he wanted to eradicate humanity. As for Xia Zuo… after three years, he transformed from a delinquent into the uncrowned king of the underground kingdom, opposing humanity and desiring the world’s destruction.

After listening to the system’s explanation, Shu Shuangyu had a clear understanding. He smiled innocently at Lu Xiu and appeared bewildered, “Who are you? I don’t know you.”

[“I suggest the host not provoke the pursued characters,”] the system kindly reminded.

Shu Shuangyu snorted, [“What do you know? I disappeared without a reason for three years. I’m still alive but couldn’t go back to him, so I can only pretend that I lost my memory; otherwise, there’s no way to explain it.”]

“You… don’t know me?” Shu Shuangyu immersed himself in his thoughts, not noticing the strange look in Lu Xiu’s eyes.

Shu Shuangyu understood Lu Xiu; he knew that Lu Xiu had a hero complex, sympathizing with the weak. So he deliberately widened his eyes, showing a panic-stricken and forcibly composed expression, “I… I don’t know you… Why am I here? I want to go home…”

Seeing Shu Shuangyu trembling like that, Lu Xiu didn’t display the expected compassion and distress. Instead, he asked, “In the whole universe, every human knows my name. My photos are plastered on streets and alleys, and the internet is full of my publicity… You say you don’t know me?”

[“Uh-oh, I overacted.”] Shu Shuangyu’s heart skipped a beat and, while angry, he also felt a little impatient. [“Why isn’t he following the script? So annoying.”]
