QT: Against My Will-Chapter 96

96 3.00.01 – Downfall of Humanity

° After Xuan Mu’s death, somewhere in Dimensional Abyss Headquarters...

° A middle-aged assistant in a white robe beamed through the pillared entrance, appearing in an office of an old and stoic man.

° “Chief good news! The broken soul died due to a natural cause!” he said, placing a report in the form of a futuristic screen on the desk. “Though he died young, he should be fixed because, until the end, he never gave up on living.”

° “Did you find out how it got fixed?” asked the head chief, going through the report – a white-bearded man in a similar robe; there was a bluish stole around his neck with the ends hanging down in front.

° Before a person died, essential parts of his life would flash before his eyes; that’d the moment when Dimensional Abyss Headquarters would take their chance to learn about that person’s life. Next, was the judgment time. 𝑓𝗿𝐞𝘦𝘄ｅ𝘣n𝘰𝘷eƖ.c𝘰𝗺

° The assistant shook his shoulders in tension, “We are not sure. There is a high possibility that another soul is the cause of it; he fell in love with a girl, who is not his soulmate. They should not be compatible, especially intimately. The odd thing is, somehow, they worked it out. The love he had for the girl was stronger than we thought. He was too obsessed with her to a point of refusing his soulmate!”

° The assistant took a deep breath then continued, “She is not just any soulmate. His soulmate is Guan Fei, our ex-host, who finished her missions! Her wish was to have a leisure life with a soulmate. She was sent to the nearest one without a bond. Who would have thought that her soulmate was already in a relationship.”

° “A girl? She had to be something to go against an ex-host and mending the broken soul at the same time,” the chief’s hand went through his long beard in contemplation, “The System Headquarters are looking for a host compatible with the world patching system 001 for a long time. Maybe she is the one?”

° “She seems to be still alive. What do we do with his soul? Should we send him to a reincarnation cycle?” asked the assistant. 𝐟𝙧ee𝔀e𝐛𝓃𝐨𝚟𝑒𝗹.c𝗼𝚖

.....

° “No, we are not a hundred percent sure if the soul is fixed. If we sent him to a reincarnation cycle, we won’t be able to check on him. Lock his memories and sent him to a trial world (F rank). About that girl... send me her report as soon as she dies.”

° “Yes, chief,” said the assistant.

° After Bing Shi’s death, somewhere in Dimensional Abyss Headquarters ...

° “Chief, his girlfriend died. Going through her past world, we found out that in her first lifetime, she was a slave for a high ranked concubine. In her second lifetime, she was a servant for an empress. In both lifetimes, she never met her soulmate due to her occupation. The strange thing is, she died due to old age; usually, maids and servants have a high mortality rate.”

° “In her third lifetime, she was a science student who was raped on her way home. The one who raped her ended in prison. She, on the other side, gave up her studies and became a nun in a Buddhist shrine, which she never left since then. Even though she met her soulmate, who visited the shrine, as a nun, she never responded to his feelings. She died due to old age.” (Do you remember Bing Shi’s stalker?)

° “In a fourth lifetime, she was a mad scientist, who very rarely left her laboratory. That’s where she met her soulmate again. They became a couple. Before they could develop their feelings more, both of them died because of their experiment.” (Do you remember Zhu Cai’s dreams?)

° “A common soul?” The chief smiled while looking through the report. “She is a hidden treasure. Call the system headquarters. I have a recommendation. Their world patching system 001 is finally having a host.”

° “Yes, Chief!” Without wasting words, the assistant rushed out of the office.
