2.2 – This seems to have become a protracted war
translator: xiin
Music from the piano resounded throughout the venue, and everyone’s eyes were attracted to the person on the stage. Even the judges held their breath out of fear that the slightest noise would disturb the genius.
That young man played a piece that seemed to come straight from the soul, that pair of hands that moved ceaselessly with the music, seemed to bring people’s hearts with them as they moved up and down.

The man’s golden eyes seemed to be locked on that person’s body, his whole aura even softened because of his music. The butler to one side looked at his master with some surprise, then turned his eyes to the man on the stage, and made a decision in the depths of his heart.
When Xue Ling finished his song, standing up to take a bow, nobody had yet recovered from their daze.
He also didn’t seem to mind, turning around to step down from the stage. He had booked his ticket before coming onto stage, and now he needs to head to the airport to catch the next flight back to China.
It was not until he stepped off the stage that he heard applause filling the concert hall, endlessly ringing in his ears.
Unfortunately, Xue Ling didn’t really care about the applause. Despite arranging a place to go for his sister and nephew, Xue Ling still had to meet them personally to reassure them, and he had no time to dally here. So by the time the competition staff rushed back to knock at his door, his room was already empty.
The staff member’s expression wavered, and the face of the butler who followed him was also strange.
In the VIP room, a man dressed in a slim fitting suit twisted the ring on his finger, and slowly stood up.

The students in the competition were still playing hard on the stage, and the audience had no plans to leave, but the man was already a little impatient, expressionlessly opening the door just in time to see the strange look on the butler’s face.
The bowed slightly and gave a very concise apology: “I’m sorry, sir, that young man is not here anymore.”
The man didn’t spare him a glance, directly stepping forward. The butler looked at him oddly, then heard him say, “Go and investigate.”
“Yes.”
At this time, Xue Ling had already caught his flight, because he was in a hurry, he chose to buy a first class ticket with fewer people. It wasn’t until he was settled in his seat that he took a deep breath and held the system into his hands. “There are some things I still need to understand.”

The system perched obediently on its host’s legs, although it is a fox, it manages to look like a well behaved pet. “The host can ask anything, I will say all that I know without exception.”
“I came into this world in order to change the fate of the main characters?”
“Yes, when their destiny is changed, the will of the world will be able to take their luck away.” The system has affirmed this point from the outset.
Xue Ling asked again, “Because I am occupying this body, I need to get revenge for the original owner of this body? So when I entered this body, were there any other stipulations? Is it possible that they will show up just before dying, and the next second they’ve died?”
The system feels that its host is somewhat fanciful, after pondering for a while, finally decides to explain it like this to Xue Ling. “Taking the host adult’s current body as an example, the information you received is his whole life’s fate trajectory, and the will of the world will only arrange you to enter a person’s body after confirming with the other party. That is why you can see his life, and feel his resentment.”
“Then won’t I be endlessly taking revenge for these people?”
“No, there are some other factors when choosing the body. Sometimes the body that is chosen is not just as unlucky the two that you have gotten so far.”
Xue Ling’s face is full of an unspoken sentiment, ‘you can say it like that, not just as unlucky, that would mean they are even more unlucky.’
“Then if I fulfill their wishes and destroy the life trajectory of the protagonists, it should be fine if I just leave. Why do I need to live their whole life for them? Although I am not rejecting such a task, but isn’t the will of the world anxious for luck?”

“It’s not that it’s not in a hurry, but while it’s easy to integrate a soul into the world, after you make a big change, it becomes more difficult to separate. And if you leave, the body will die. Besides dying a natural death, I don’t think the host will want to experience the other ways.”
Xue Ling’s lips twitched, that’s a good point, working so hard to make a good future for himself so that there will be no worries about happiness in the future, wrecking the protagonists’ affairs, with everything going well, and then suddenly dying…
No matter how you look at it, it seems like one was then doing so much work in vain?
At this point, Xue Ling has a good idea regarding what he needs to do.
He just needs to play this role well, living this life and fulfilling the previous owner’s wish. For Xue Ling who has always been capricious, this can also be considered an entirely new experience. In the past, although he did go into society and lived a for long time, it was still his own life after all. To live like someone else, can also be seen as a type of challenge for him.
Nevermind that the system only requires him not to rashly expose flaws in order to prevent rejection from the world.
