The System Teaches You How to Be Human

Si Yisi had his own considerations for not immediately ‘cutting the weeds and eliminating the roots.’

Ever since he absorbed the host’s memories, he realized that his heart had grown increasingly cold and ruthless. Of course, he had to admit that tearing someone apart like this brought him far more enjoyment.

Dealing with trash like Lu Chaoxi with a single strike was definitely insufficient. First, he needed to crush his spirit, then inflict a physical wound so unforgettable that it would haunt him for a lifetime.

For example; letting the women he had belittled take action.

Si Yisi had no doubt that the women Lu Chaoxi had deceived would unleash a terrifying power when provoked. After all, women might appear soft and easy to bully, but once their bottom line was crossed, they could tear apart a Tyrannosaurus Rex with their bare hands.

Lu Chaoxi’s address was in a remote villa district, a quiet area where few people wandered around. Si Yisi figured that Lu Chaoxi was trying to avoid attention, afraid that too many eyes might accidentally expose something he didn’t want revealed.

This also gave Si Yisi an opportunity to exploit.

The security guard at the villa district blinked and suddenly felt a gust of wind rush past, blurring his vision. “What the… where did that wind come from?”

With such a strong gust of wind, Si Yisi crouched low and stealthily slipped into the villa.

Inside the villa.

A small, gray, scruffy puppy suddenly perked up its ears. It let out a low whimper, and a single tear instinctively rolled down its face.

Si Yisi approached the little puppy and gently picked it up.

“I am Si Yisi, System 414. I’m here to save you.”

The two systems established a mental connection, and the voice of System 1314, attached to the puppy, shakily transmitted its thoughts to Si Yisi.

[S-System? Not a host? I’m System 1314… Lu Yang… No, just Yang.] 1314’s tone sounded much calmer after hearing Si Yisi’s voice.

The little puppy let out a soft whimper, its voice so weak that it gave the impression of someone on the brink of death.

“Where is your host?”

[In the innermost room, with a woman,] 1314 replied.

Si Yisi was about to tuck the system-possessed puppy into his arms when it firmly but slowly refused.

[I want to stay here for now. Can you lend me a tool that can record visuals with my eyes? You’re here on a mission, right? I’ll help you ensure that… Lu Chaoxi loses completely and can never rise again.]

Yang’s frail voice carried a hint of hatred.

“I understand,” Si Yisi said without hesitation, purchasing a tool from the system marketplace and tossing it to Yang. “I’ll leave him for you to deal with.”

It seemed there would likely be another person; or rather, system, added to the list of those eager to cause Lu Chaoxi physical and emotional torment.

So, here was a lesson; don’t provoke women lightly, don’t provoke female systems, and anything remotely related to ‘woman’ should make one think twice before acting.

After finishing his exchange with Yang, Si Yisi immediately stood up and headed for the innermost room. He effortlessly used a tool to pass through the wall and stood directly in front of Lu Chaoxi.

Lu Chaoxi was sound asleep, and under the blanket beside him lay a completely naked woman, her face flushed with lingering heat.

Si Yisi immediately recognized her as the currently trending starlet, a popular internet sensation.

Even in his sleep, Lu Chaoxi’s hand instinctively caressed the woman beside him. The starlet let out soft, alluring murmurs, creating a scene that was, to say the least, an eyesore.

Si Yisi wiped his eyes dramatically. “Blinded…”

Ah Tu blinked at the scene, then raised his tail and slapped it over his eyes.

Blind, blind, absolutely blind!

Without a second thought, Si Yisi used a tool to pull both Lu Chaoxi and the starlet into a shared dream.

***

Lu Chaoxi furrowed his brows slightly as he vaguely heard the starlet’s enticing voice. Even in his sleep, he couldn’t help but think; She’s still being flirtatious even while sleeping?

Honest to his instincts, he woke up. But as soon as he did, a chill ran across his body.

Lu Chaoxi’s eyes shot open, and he found himself stark naked, tied to a wooden rack. His limbs were tightly bound with rough hemp ropes that left red marks on his skin. He looked like a helpless lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

In front of him stood the starlet, little beauty whom he had just been with moments ago.

Completely confused, Lu Chaoxi thought he was dreaming about some sort of roleplay scenario. Overcome by lust, he said, “Ah Yu, are you thinking of trying something fresh and exciting?”

‘Ah Yu’, who was actually Si Yisi, looked at him with a blank expression. Taking a step closer, he held up a gleaming kitchen knife that reflected an almost blinding silver light. “Yes, let’s try something fresh.”

In Lu Chaoxi’s eyes, ‘Ah Yu’ appeared full of tender affection, holding a thin red rope as if intending to add some thrilling new experience.

“…Bring it on,” Lu Chaoxi coaxed, his voice dripping with indulgence.

He carried himself like an emperor, high and mighty, gazing down at what he imagined to be a submissive servant kneeling at his feet.

Si Yisi had no idea what sort of fantasy was playing out in Lu Chaoxi’s mind. He only thought that Lu Chaoxi was being incredibly cooperative and proactive.

How considerate…

Si Yisi pressed the blade of the kitchen knife against Lu Chaoxi’s lower body.

For a split second, Lu Chaoxi felt a chilling sensation and realized something was wrong. But before he could react further, Si Yisi made his move.

Without a moment’s hesitation, the blade came down swiftly, cleanly, and decisively, as though chopping vegetables.

“AAAAAAHHHHH!” Lu Chaoxi let out a blood-curdling scream. His pupils contracted as the overwhelming pain coursed through him. The sight of his own blood spurting out brought an all-consuming madness to his mind.

The excruciating pain, so deep it reached his bones, left Lu Chaoxi’s brain blank. His entire body went numb, losing all sense of control as he hung limp on the wooden rack like a dead dog.

“Fresh enough for you?” Si Yisi timed his actions perfectly, ensuring that Lu Chaoxi felt the full extent of the agony while being unable to escape from the dream.

Lu Chaoxi desperately wanted to wake up and leave the dream.

Would he succeed?

Then he could only die once!

But was dying really that easy? Under Si Yisi’s hands, Lu Chaoxi wouldn’t be able to die even if he wanted to. Desperately yearning for death but unable to achieve it; how painful that would be.

He would have to watch himself slowly transform into the very thing he hated the most—!

“AAAHHHH!” In the well-soundproofed villa, Lu Chaoxi, who had fallen into a dream, suddenly erupted with one scream after another, full of agony!

Only Si Yisi had dragged him into the dream, blocking his awareness of the surroundings. The little beauty, Ah Yu, rubbed her face and sat up.

She instantly saw Lu Chaoxi’s tortured, contorted face, and in shock, she scratched his chest with her claws, leaving a long, bloody scratch!

Had a hidden illness flared up?

She panicked and flustered, instinctively stood up to leave, but as soon as she lifted the blanket, she was hit by a strong odor of urine.

“AH!” She watched in disbelief as a pale yellow liquid began to pour from beneath Lu Chaoxi, realizing he had involuntarily wet himself!

***

Si Yisi casually tossed the kitchen knife aside. He also cut the ropes binding Lu Chaoxi.

Lu Chaoxi fell straight down, his face crashing heavily into the floor.

“AAAHHHH—!” He weakly screamed, the scent of blood driving him to madness, lingering around his nostrils.

That’s enough.

Si Yisi hadn’t intended to drive Lu Chaoxi to madness completely. Besides, he wasn’t particularly fond of such slow, torturous methods. However, it had to be said, the trauma was indeed immense.

He ended the dream in time.

If he broke someone completely, what would be left to do?

After all, Gu Changkong’s resentment toward Lu Chaoxi mainly focused on the plagiarism and deceiving his family, so it was only right that the deceived victim should be the one to take care of him.

Si Yisi glanced at Lu Chaoxi, who had lost control of his bodily functions, with disdain. Then, left without a second glance.

In the living room, the little puppy whined softly. She sensed everything that had happened and, in a tone slightly happy, said to Si Yisi’s retreating figure.

[…He’s so good.]

The voice of System 1314 was no longer soft but filled with pure joy, as though this incident had triggered a complete transformation in her.

Just a few seconds after Si Yisi left, Lu Chaoxi suddenly sprang to his feet!

Terrified, he reached down to touch himself and found the blanket beneath him soaked.

“AAAHHHH!!” Lu Chaoxi’s eyes turned red as he heard the little beauty’s footsteps crashing against the security door.

How… how did I get such a dream!?

Shame… Pain, pain, pain! Lu Chaoxi smashed everything he could find, sending broken pieces of the vase scattering all over the floor!

***

Meanwhile, Si Yisi, strolling back leisurely, looked full of energy, completely unlike the frail and exhausted figure he had been earlier.

The ever-thoughtful Gu Haoyue: “….”

Her brother’s transformation was terrifyingly drastic. First, he had seemed like a fragile flower being crushed, and now he returned, suddenly radiating energy like a little sun!

This time, his sister finally didn’t think in the wrong direction; she just felt that she should find a psychologist for Changkong.

Si Yisi didn’t know how Gu Haoyue viewed him.

He returned to his room and began to slowly tidy up the work that Gu Changkong had created for ‘Towards Heaven’.

Gu Changkong no longer had the time to polish it further, as his soul could no longer support occupying his body again.

So Si Yisi would do it for him; catch the errors, fix the bad sentences, the grammar…

Si Yisi opened the author’s update page and slowly typed in a title. The title he entered was–the one that Gu Changkong had written, the true… ‘Towards Heaven’!
