Chapter 412: Si Chen'S Awakening Of Self-Awareness
Luck?
Or perhaps it could be called destiny.
Si Chen didn't understand so much, but what was terrifying was that, in the facts he had investigated, ever since Chu Lingfeng ate the apple and went to the capital, he had become extremely unlucky.
Before that, Chu Lingfeng had been smooth sailing.
Coming from some remote corner of the mountains, he saw an old man being hit by a car on the side of the road, and amidst the doubts of everyone, he readily saved the old man. As a result, the old man turned out to be the elder of a certain family in Jiuzhou City.
The elder thanked him profusely and introduced him to a higher circle.
Finding treasures, making money, beautiful women throwing themselves at him, the elder of a certain healthy family suddenly fell ill, and was just cured by his Thirteen Supreme Needles.
Again and again, he gained fame and fortune.
If this luck continued, Chu Lingfeng could have made a name for himself in the capital.
In fact, he was already a legend in the circles of the capital.
When he went back home for the New Year, an elderly member of his own Si family was seriously ill, and many people suggested inviting Doctor Chu to take a look.
As if cursed, they didn't trust the top scientific medical teams at home and abroad, but instead believed in a wild man from the mountains.
That was why Si Chen speculated that it was that mysterious apple that had ruined Chu Lingfeng's luck.
Otherwise, why would Chi Xiaocheng, after being thrown out by the bodyguard and almost dying, still insist on giving the apple to Chu Lingfeng?
What frightened Si Chen even more was that he discovered that Ye Liang, who had already died, had also eaten an apple before his death!
During his hospitalization, he ate apples almost every day, possibly considering the need for nutrition.
Was it possible that one of the apples he ate was also abnormal?
More importantly, Ye Liang seemed to have been smooth sailing and very lucky before that.
But ever since he became an enemy of Chi Xiaocheng, he had become a failure.
Then Si Chen self-examined his own past.
He was surprised to find that he was also extremely lucky.
Even that fellow Dongfang Yang was the same.
The four of them seemed to have this deep commonality.
Because he discovered these things, he could easily associate them with some illogical events in reality.
The more he thought about it, the more terrified he became.
Plus the inexplicable thoughts that had emerged in his mind this time.
And the fact that Chi Xiaocheng and Su Tao were always being targeted.
After Si Chen laid out his analysis in full, he swallowed deeply, still shaken. "Chi Xiaocheng, I have a feeling that this world seems to be manipulated by an invisible hand."
"Sometimes, I even wonder if I'm living in The Truman Show!"
And when he said this last sentence, Si Chen suddenly felt a chilling sensation again.
Goosebumps erupted all over his body, and he froze in place as if his fur had been raised.
Chi Xiaocheng didn't expect Si Chen to guess the truth of the world so bluntly, and even say it out loud.
She jumped off the chair and quickly asked, "Are you okay?"
[Host, don't worry, Si Chen was targeted by the world's will just now. I have now shielded the world's will from peeking.]
Si Chen swallowed hard, still shaken. "I... I'm fine. It's just that strange feeling I mentioned earlier, it's come over me again."
He saw Chi Xiaocheng looking relieved and quickly asked, "Do you know something?"
The latter sat back in the chair and said slowly, "Some things cannot be said, even if you know, you can't say them."
Hearing this, Si Chen's pupils contracted. "Do you mean..."
He quickly covered his mouth, but gestured to indicate what he had just said.
Chi Xiaocheng nodded lightly.
Si Chen's character authority was not low enough. If he knew some things, bad things would happen.
And the system's shielding of the world's will was essentially her fighting the world's will head-on.
The world's will had no time to care about Si Chen, so naturally he no longer had that feeling.
If Chi Xiaocheng were cruel, she could actually say it directly, so that the world's will would target Si Chen instead of Su Tao.
Let Si Chen bear everything.
But...
Si Chen was, after all, one of the male leads, incredibly loyal, and Chi Xiaocheng couldn't bring herself to push her friend out as a scapegoat.
Perhaps Xiao Hei would be able to do it.
Chi Xiaocheng sighed. "Si Chen, all I can tell you for now is that you can do some things that don't fit your persona, which will reduce the feeling you described."
Si Chen pushed up his glasses and pondered for a while. "It's a bit difficult. As a psychology student, I'm aware that my deep, rational, and mature personality is completely set. Changing it... won't happen overnight."
As soon as he said this, Si Chen glanced at the girl in front of him and couldn't help but pause. "Chi Xiaocheng, what kind of look is that you're giving me?"
"No... it's nothing. Anyway, you understand what I mean. Also, tell me about the feeling of having that thought of kidnapping me pop into your head."
Si Chen recalled, "It's an unspeakable impulse, like a thought emerging from the subconscious. You can understand it as a simple reflex, or an unconditioned reflex. When your hand is burned, your first reaction is to pull it back."
"But if you're holding a plate of food, you'll realize that if you pull your hand back, the plate will break. Then you'll endure the pain and prioritize putting the hot dish down."
"I belong to the latter. I can clearly realize that I shouldn't have such thoughts."
Chi Xiaocheng pursed her lips and nodded lightly.
The thing she was most worried about had still happened.
The world's will possessed the ability to influence a person's thinking!
Si Chen, a self-rational type of character, could be influenced. What about Tao Tao?
If some impulse in her heart was amplified by the world's will, could she stick to her original heart?
"System, what do you think?"
[There's no way. All I can do is prevent it. I can't detect His actions until the world's will directly reveals itself. And another fact is that He is much stronger than me.]
After countless reincarnations, the system was slowly growing.
But after all, this was the world's will's main battlefield.
[Another way is for the host to think of a way to reduce Su Tao's character authority to below 50%.]
Reduce character authority.
The simplest way was to do something that ruined the character.
Or seriously deviate from the original plot.
Chi Xiaocheng gritted her teeth and suddenly thought of a way to quickly reduce Su Tao's character authority.
But... she wasn't sure if their current relationship had reached that point.
Tao Tao secretly kissed her every night, and when she hugged her, she would occasionally smell her hair or secretly touch her waist.
Thinking of this, Chi Xiaocheng's ears began to turn a peach color.
