After I Was Erased by the System, She Went Mad

Chapter 61 : She Will Die!

Su Huan let out a cold laugh, the mockery in her eyes obvious.

"Shi Qiubai, if I had this much time, I'd rather think about how to lure Tang Tang away from Ning Yu."

Shi Qiubai rolled her eyes irritably. "Senior Su, do you have any evidence for what you're saying? Like the missing researchers? Or the so-called explosion? Without proof, why should I believe you?"

Her eyes rolled. "How about this—when Senior Su finds evidence, we can continue our chat."

"Shake your brain and pour out the water inside!" Su Huan's gaze was indifferent as she couldn't help but mock. "I just said those people disappeared from this world! The explosion is also gone—the system modified everyone's memories! Under these circumstances, where do you think I could find clues?"

Shi Qiubai narrowed her eyes and countered: "Since everyone forgot, why do you still remember?"

Su Huan paused for a moment, as if thinking of something, her expression somewhat sad.

"Perhaps Tang Tang's system can't control me."

Her peripheral vision glanced toward Shen Xiaoyu, her voice flat but unable to hide that trace of sorrow. "Or maybe it's because of Xiaoyu's system... but none of this matters. What I want to tell you isn't about this. This world is going to collapse. We need to send Shen Xiaoyu away before the plot is completely corrected."

"We?" Shi Qiubai pointed at herself, then at Su Huan, her head full of question marks. "You don't think I can't see these are excuses you made up, do you? What disappearance, what awakening... Su Huan, if you're going to make up reasons, at least make up better ones."

She shook her head, looking helpless. "I'll control Sister's pursuit progress. You don't need to worry about her being punished again. But if you want Sister to leave me—"

Her voice grew cold again. "I absolutely won't agree!"

Su Huan frowned. "Shi Qiubai! Put away your arrogance. If Xiaoyu doesn't complete her mission, she'll die!"

"I wasn't raised on intimidation!" Shi Qiubai showed no fear. "Sister has a system, and the system won't let her die."

"It's just an invader—it can't fight Tang Tang's system at all!" Su Huan's temper flared as she emphasized her words. "Even if the system protects her, once the plot correction succeeds, Shen Xiaoyu will still die!"

She paused. "Not just Shen Xiaoyu—we'll all die."

The plot would restart, and everyone's memories and thoughts would be wiped clean.

By then, they would all become puppets of the plot, everyone walking their original destined paths.

Su Huan didn't know how to explain this to Shi Qiubai. She was afraid that knowing this would make her do something even more extreme, so she could only repeatedly emphasize the consequences for Shen Xiaoyu if she continued to stay in this world.

Shi Qiubai propped her chin on her hand, not caring about her words and even sounding quite impatient.

"Alright, alright, Senior Su doesn't need to say more. Since you can't convince me, why not go look for evidence? What if you succeed?"

She smiled ambiguously, clearly still not believing Su Huan's words.

In her view, everything Su Huan said was just to take Shen Xiaoyu away from her side.

"Can you not be so stubborn? This isn't about who Shen Xiaoyu is with! If Shen Xiaoyu could stay in this world, she could do whatever she wants! But she simply doesn't have that time—Tang Tang's system won't let her exist in this world!"

"Then I'll just die together with Sister." Shi Qiubai smiled cheerfully, not taking her words to heart at all.

Veins bulged on Su Huan's forehead. She felt restless and irritated, her heart alternately burning like fire, drowning like water, and crushed like stone—not a moment of comfort.

"I'm afraid by then, you won't even have the right to die."

She glared at Shi Qiubai, clenching and unclenching her fists, cursing the system countless times in her heart.

But things still needed to be resolved. Su Huan checked the time—she had already exceeded the ten minutes she'd told Shen Nian'an by five minutes.

If she didn't go out soon, An'an would get anxious.

"I hope Xiaoyu lives."

If that wasn't possible, she didn't mind using other means to forcibly complete the mission.

Su Huan's gaze shifted to the person on the hospital bed. She bent down and said gently: "I'll arrange things for An'an first, then come back in a while."

Now that everything was out in the open, she didn't need to pretend anymore.

Shi Qiubai raised an eyebrow upon hearing her words.

She'd call more people later—not even a fly would be allowed in, let alone Su Huan.

Su Huan roughly knew what she was thinking. Before leaving, she specifically had someone watch the ward and instructed: "If anyone else comes, don't give them face—kick them out directly! But be careful not to make loud noises and disturb other patients' rest. Understand?"

"Understood."

Only after getting a definitive answer did Su Huan leave the hospital with her daughter.

In the ward, Shi Qiubai gave her an irritated look, then continued watching Shen Xiaoyu on the hospital bed, though her mind unconsciously recalled what Su Huan had just said.

An explosion?

She hadn't listened carefully to when Su Huan said the explosion occurred.

But Sister seemed to have mentioned similar things too.

Shi Qiubai thought for a moment, frowned, and used her phone to check the time of that social news story.

She remembered very clearly that the night before, she and Sister had discussed the content of this news and its impact on society. But why was Sister so surprised when she saw it this morning?

Su Huan said the system had modified everyone's memories...

Did this mean that what she and Sister talked about the night before wasn't this news story, and her memory had been altered?

A chill ran down Shi Qiubai's spine. She unconsciously denied the thought that had just occurred to her. Impossible! If memories were really deleted, why did Su Huan's memories remain?

Sister hadn't been controlled because of the system, but what about Su Huan?

What qualified her?

But then again, since she and Sister had discussed this news, why couldn't she remember anything she had said?

Shi Qiubai touched her chin, falling into deep thought.

Meanwhile, Su Huan, who had left, took her daughter to dinner near the hospital.

While eating, she specifically contacted the auntie at home to pick up Shen Nian'an and take care of her.

Upon hearing this, Shen Nian'an immediately put down her chopsticks and pleaded: "Mommy, I want to stay at the hospital to keep Mama company."

"No, you must go home to rest at night. Mommy will be at the hospital—Mommy will take good care of Mama, okay?" Su Huan spoke gently.

"Not okay." The little girl shook her head decisively, lowered her head, twisted her clothes with both hands, and tears fell drop by drop. She threw herself into Su Huan's arms, fearfully gripping her clothes tightly.

"I'm sorry, Mommy! It's all my fault. If I hadn't wanted milk tea, Mama wouldn't have crossed the street and wouldn't have had a car accident. It's because of me that Mama is in danger."

She wailed loudly while still pleading with Su Huan: "I must stay at the hospital and wait for Mama to wake up. Please, Mommy."

She looked up with red-rimmed eyes, looking pitiful as she gazed at Su Huan.

Su Huan didn't know there had been this episode before the accident. She quickly comforted her: "An'an doesn't need to worry—it's not related to you. Your mama won't blame you either."

On the contrary, they should be grateful. If Shen Xiaoyu hadn't left alone because of this, the car accident might have injured more than just Shen Xiaoyu.

If something happened to Shen Xiaoyu, as long as she completed the pursuit mission while still breathing, she could return to her own world. But if something happened to her daughter, it would truly be over—there would be no room for redemption.

Thinking of this, Su Huan felt a wave of fear and couldn't help but hold her daughter tighter. "It's okay, don't worry too much. Mama will be fine too."

After soothing Shen Nian'an's anxious emotions, she continued asking: "Did you tell Shi Qiubai about this?"

Shen Nian'an shook her head and shrank into her arms. "I'm scared."

She couldn't accept that Mama had the car accident because of her, and she didn't dare think about what she would do if Mama really didn't wake up.

She had waited until Mommy came back before daring to tell Mommy these things.

"It's okay." Su Huan rubbed her head. "Go home with Auntie tonight and sleep early. Tomorrow, have Auntie bring you to the hospital."

Shen Nian'an pursed her lips and said nothing.

Soon, the driver brought the auntie over. After Shen Nian'an finished eating, Su Huan watched them leave together.

Standing at the restaurant entrance, Su Huan let out a long breath. Her face grew longer and tighter, her gaze sinister and cold.

"Hello? This is Su Huan. Any discoveries?" Su Huan held her phone, leaning against a tree, her eyes looking toward the hospital.

"Security at Ning Yu's villa has been strengthened. According to the guards at the entrance, a woman did come looking for Ning Yu at eight o'clock tonight. And she was personally brought back by Ning Yu." From the other end of the phone came Ning Bai's voice. "Preliminary determination—it's Tang Tang."

"Good, I understand."

As she had thought, Tang Tang went to find Ning Yu. But after a day and night, Tang Tang only just contacted Ning Yu?

Did something happen to Tang Tang, or to the system?

Su Huan rubbed her temples and said thank you.

Just before hanging up, Ning Bai's voice came again: "Su Huan, after helping you with so much, you should at least tell me what you're doing, right?"

Su Huan withdrew her gaze, looked down at the stones under her feet, and kicked them casually.

"I think you'd better not know."

No one could accept being an NPC in a book.

Besides, time was running out. Ning Bai wouldn't remember these things anyway—telling him would only add unnecessary trouble.

Shi Qiubai was an exception; she was an anomaly.

"What could I not be qualified to know? Don't forget, you're investigating my Ning family!" Ning Bai snorted coldly. "Su Huan, if you don't tell me, don't expect me to help you anymore!"

Su Huan frowned irritably and changed the subject: "Let me think about it. I'll tell you when I've figured it out."

"I'm giving you one day. If I don't get an answer, I won't manage Ning Yu's side anymore." After Ning Bai finished speaking, he hung up directly.

It seemed he was angry.

Su Huan didn't care. She told the people at the research institute about Tang Tang's whereabouts to see if they had any way to reconnect with the system. After all, they had been researching for so many years—there must be some progress.

The research institute didn't respond.

Su Huan exhaled and turned toward the hospital, her mind thinking about how to deal with Ning Yu and Tang Tang.

At the same time, Ning Yu had learned from 'Tang Tang' about the experiments Su Huan had conducted on her and was furious.

Ning Yu slammed her hand on the table, her face livid, gritting her teeth: "Su Huan! How wonderful!"

How dare she touch her person!

She glanced at Tang Tang's protruding belly, her anger intensifying. Fortunately, nothing happened to the child, or she would definitely make Su Huan pay the price!
