Chapter 108 Fate is Predestined
Chapter 108 Fate is Predestined
Seeing his reaction, the administrator gave a soft "Oh," and then said with a sudden realization, "I almost forgot, your memory has been wiped clean, and you no longer remember what happened before."
Wang Laoliu pointed at his own nose, "You...you mean me? My memory has been wiped?!"
The administrator confirmed, "That's right. You're not a newcomer to the position of customer service representative for the transmigration system. You're already a veteran who has experienced all sorts of deaths and has a wealth of death experiences."
Wang Laoliu was completely confused and said with skepticism, "How is that possible? I'm just a customer service representative, not a transmigrated host. I don't need to fight and challenge myself every day."
He stayed obediently in my little dark room, there was no safety hazard at all, how could he possibly die, let alone die so many times?
The administrator said in a compassionate tone, "That's a long story. The world timeline of the book you wrote has been restarted ninety-nine times, and you've been defeated by the characters you created every time. It's truly pathetic."
Wang Laoliu was stunned and paled: "You mean, this plane has fallen into a loop, and it has looped as many as ninety-nine times?!"
Why was he unaware, his host unaware, and 001 provided no notification whatsoever?
Also, what does it mean that he was killed by the characters he created?
How could he be killed by a character in a book?!
They're from completely different worlds!
The administrator said, "Listen to me, there's only one truth—"
Initially, the character 001 was associated with was not actually the main villain of "The First Sword of Immortals".
It's the male lead, not the female lead.
When Wang Laoliu was first taken to the dark room, he chose a reader who was of good quality and reliable character as his host.
The host's soul transmigrates into the world of the book and gains control of the protagonist's body.
Wang Laoliu and his personally chosen host are facing an incredibly favorable start with a bright future!
They are expected to achieve instant fame, complete the main quest without needing to start a loop, and smoothly return to the real world.
They should have been among the lucky 30% of the 999 people led by the administrator.
But this is just a perfect fantasy.
The imagination is rich, but the reality is harsh, even tragic.
The reality is that Wang Laoliu and his host failed a total of ninety-nine times.
They could not escape the predetermined fate of dimensional collapse.
Wang Laoliu retorted, "That shouldn't be the case! The protagonist is the chosen one of this world, the chosen one of heaven. Even the Heavenly Dao is on his side. How could he possibly lose so miserably?!"
The administrator laughed and said, "It shouldn't be like that. Unfortunately, the villainous BOSS in the original book was too powerful. The world line was restarted ninety-nine times, and the final ending was always him destroying the world and becoming a demon."
"what?!"
Wang Laoliu felt as if he had been struck on the head with a blunt object.
"Li Tingyun really slaughtered the last person in the world, he... he really became a demon?!"
Wang Laoliu's mind was buzzing. "Damn it, the ending I originally wanted to write wasn't like this at all!"
He created the premise that "one cannot become a demon without destroying the world," which clearly states that one cannot succeed through crooked paths. How could anyone in this world be so depraved?!
Even if Li Tingyun really wanted to drag the whole world down with him, thinking about it and actually doing it are two different things.
How could he possibly wipe out all the living beings in the lower realm by himself? Even a swarm of flies and mosquitoes couldn't be completely eradicated!
The administrator looked at the bewildered Wang Laoliu and shrugged, saying, "Who knows? Anyway, he did it."
"He not only destroyed the world and became a demon, but also tore apart the dimensional space and destroyed the 001 system console."
"And he killed you, the one who created him."
“He did this repeatedly, more than once.”
Wang Laoliu's lips trembled. "He's insane, he really is insane... He's fucking insane..."
The administrator sighed, "This is the first time I've encountered this situation."
Wang Laoliu asked, "Then... how did you handle it later?"
The administrator said, "The villains in your book are too dangerous, even threatening the safety of the entire dimensional space. Of course, I can't just deal with them arbitrarily."
After much deliberation, he finally came up with a brilliant idea.
Wang Laoliu pressed, "What good idea have you come up with?"
The administrator revealed the truth: "I have decided to end 001's transmigration business and completely destroy those 99 loop restarts."
"Then, I erased the memories of the villain from the original book and sent him to your modern civilized world to undergo systematic ideological reformation..."
The administrator, without changing his expression, said: "In layman's terms, it means nine years of compulsory education, high school basic education, plus four years of higher education."
Wang Laoliu: "...6".
The administrator explained it in a very serious and earnest manner.
Wang Laoliu, however, looked constipated and didn't believe a word he said. He reluctantly replied, "Keep making things up. Let's see what other tricks you can come up with."
The administrator was very kind to him and didn't find his words offensive at all.
“A wise man heeds my words, for the gods do not lie.”
"Please believe me, I will not lie to you."
"The villains you created have been transported to your civilized world for ideological reform..."
"He saw the book you wrote at a specific time, and you happened to choose him as the host of the book. It was all my arrangement."
“I think, since the root cause of those 99 failures lies with him, why not let him be the host and try again?”
"The one who tied the knot must untie it. Perhaps only in this way can we truly save the novel's world and avoid restarting the cycle and repeating the same mistakes."
"Now, do you understand?"
It can only be said that everything is preordained.
Wang Laoliu's constipation has worsened. "But do you really think what you're doing is a wise move?"
"I've spent so many days with Li Tingyun, and I haven't seen a single thing about him that he's a good person!"
"This ideological reform is utterly useless!"
The administrator said unhappily, "How could it be useless? To determine whether ideological reform is complete, I even set a high standard. You can go back and test him: 'Prosperity, democracy, civility, and harmony,' what comes next?"
Wang Laoliu cried out in protest: "My God, is this the 'high' standard you consider a complete transformation?! Anyone can recite a poem, even a parrot can mimic it!"
The administrator said, "Of course it's not that simple. I also took the time to check his academic performance. He has always been at the top of his class since elementary school, with extremely high scores in political and ideological courses. He majored in law and minored in medicine in college, and was always the top student in his major every year."
This renovation is clearly very good.
Wang Laoliu looked at him with deep resentment.
If you persuade someone to study medicine, you'll be struck by lightning; if you persuade someone to study law, you'll be torn to pieces—are there any animals more miserable than medical and law students on university campuses?
If he had chosen those two majors in college, he would have wanted to drag the whole world down with him every day!
The administrator, noticing his resentful look, added, "The law upholds the bottom line of morality, and doctors are angels who protect life... Isn't my arrangement appropriate enough?"
Wang Laoliu coughed up blood and said, "Please, you don't actually think you're helping the villain undergo ideological reform, or that you're the mastermind behind a high-IQ crime, do you?!"
The administrator stroked his chin and thought for a moment, "Okay, there is indeed that risk. But I didn't think about it that much at the time. You should have reminded me sooner."
Wang Laoliu's eyes widened, and he said sarcastically, "Oh, my esteemed god, so you're unreliable too! If I had known this beforehand, I would have chopped off my hand instead of writing novels!"
The administrator said, "Good idea. Let me think about it some more. Is there any way to fulfill your desire to cut off your hands?"
Wang Laoliu's heart skipped a beat, fearing that he was serious, and he said anxiously, "No, I was just kidding, this is not what I want! You can't be Aladdin's lamp, granting every wish and making your words come true, can you?"
The administrator said, "Of course not, I was just kidding you. How was it? Was it fun?"
Wang Laoliu: "..."
