82: Year after year, strong

What responded to her was the beast god's long silence.

Nan Zhisui laughed out of pure anger.

"Delusional enough to interfere with others' freedom. What difference is there between you and the childbearing system?"

[I am sorry.]

[My standpoint is the Beast World, so... my apologies.]

"The fact that I've come to the Beast World again, was that your doing?" Nan Zhisui asked.

[Apologies.]

"Stop apologizing and just talk."

[The person who brought you back to this world again was indeed me.]

Nan Zhisui actually felt a sense of 'as I thought' in her heart.

She had guessed as much before. After she completed the childbearing mission and left the Beast World, if the System had summoned her back, why wouldn't it assign any missions? So she had always felt it wasn't the System that brought her back.

After communicating with the beast god twice later on, she had a faint inkling.

Her encounter this time might not have originated from the childbearing system, but from the beast god.

She had never considered the childbearing system to be a good entity. Thus, during her first interaction with the beast god, she hadn't whole-heartedly trusted him or viewed him as a good person either.

[But, I am very weak now. I am already unable to bring someone from another world to the Beast World on my own. So, in bringing you back, your beast husbands actually helped.]

"...What?"

[Resentment, anger, longing, love... all the emotions your bonded beast husbands feel for you can become the power for me to bring you back. I used that power to bring you back.]

[Nan Zhisui, you have ties here. Everyone hopes for your return.]

"I have ties here? Do I not have ties on Earth? My parents, my younger brother, my life and career—which of those isn't important?!"

Nan Zhisui was somewhat enraged. "I could have been on Earth, living with my mom and dad. I could have been lecturing my annoying brother every day."

"I am a Veterinarian. I could have continued treating cats and dogs, and all sorts of small animals."

"Why do I have to come to this crappy Beast World with no computers, no cell phones, no parents, no brother, and none of my friends?!"

The beast god remained silent.

Nan Zhisui roared aggrievedly, "You kidnapped me to the Beast World and even placed a wisp of divine consciousness inside my body to monitor me??! And you call yourself a god??!"

The beast god was clearly embarrassed on the other end, and he apologized hesitantly: [I'm sorry...]

[But... but I haven't been monitoring you. That's the truth.]

"Why did you do this?"

[Because you are very special.]

"I'm special?"

[Yes... you are the only girl who has completely broken free from the childbearing system and returned to Earth alive, and you are one of the participants in all these events. So...]

The beast god coughed twice. Perhaps wanting to soothe her, his voice became gentle: [Only you can save this world. And only you can save the poor girls bound to future childbearing systems like 008, 009, 010, and so on.]

[Nan Zhisui, I know it was improper to forcibly bring you back to this world. That's why after I brought you here, I didn't tell you about the childbearing system right away.]

[I hoped you would discover it yourself, perceive it yourself, and then choose for yourself.]

"Choose what?" Nan Zhisui asked.

[Choose whether to soothe the resentment of your beast husbands and Cubs, and whether to become an enemy of the childbearing system.]

"..."

Nan Zhisui slumped down, completely abandoning her image.

"I'm just an ordinary human Veterinarian, and you're giving me two massive missions? Are you crazy?"

[Do you know what the System that controlled you for so long actually is?] the beast god asked, leading her on.

"...?"

[A System is just a System.]

Nan Zhisui calmed down slightly. "What are you talking about?"

The beast god said: [Actually, you must have noticed something, right? Regarding the rewards the System gave you—the Strongman Ability, the 200-Cubic-Meter Space Ability, and the 30 million RMB.]

[The 30 million RMB is the easiest to explain. The System only needs to use interstellar resources to exchange with Earth's scientists. Of course, there are many other ways.]

Nan Zhisui suddenly became very calm. "What do you mean?"

[Once all the veils of mystery are lifted, it won't be so mysterious anymore. Just like me, a beast god, who can now only weakly communicate with you through a wisp of divine consciousness. So, shall we try to unveil the System first?]

At this moment, Nan Zhisui completely regained her composure.

She asked: "How do you explain the Strongman Ability?"

[Your Strongman Ability is fading, Nan Zhisui.]

Nan Zhisui: "..."

[In the technologically advanced interstellar world, there is a type of potion. After use, it can modify a human body to increase their strength. However, this potion has a time limit. Once the effective period passes, it is metabolized by the human body, leading to the gradual loss of the Strongman Ability.]

Nan Zhisui's hands began to tremble.

Everything she encountered today—whether it was the words left by Qi Yingmei or the beast god's talk—made Nan Zhisui's skin crawl.

"Then what about the space?"

[Look for where your body feels wrong.]

"It messed with my body??!"

True, it had even used a strongman potion on her. What was a little modification to her body?

Nan Zhisui felt around her arms, legs, belly, and back. Finally, she felt a small, hard ball in her left forearm.

"..."

Nan Zhisui was stunned.

She immediately opened her space to take out alcohol and a dagger. After cleaning her arm with the alcohol, she used the dagger to slice into her arm. Usually afraid of pain, she didn't even care about the sting as she dug out that hard ball.

[Space-Folding Technology. It's a bit expensive, but it circulates in the interstellar world. In fact, on high-tech planets, it's just a small toy,] the beast god said.

"Damn it!!!"

Once all the veils of mystery are lifted, it wouldn't be so mysterious anymore.

That System 007 was just a dog System.

It was just a System!!!

[The childbearing system uses technology slightly ahead of Earth's to deceive you human girls. That's all.]

Nan Zhisui's heart was screaming, and she closed her eyes to process her emotions.

Just then, Xuan Jin, who had been playing a cat-and-mouse game with her, suddenly caught a strong scent of blood in the air.

The Little Female's scent!

She was injured!

The Cold-Blooded Snake Beastman panicked uncontrollably.

He rushed to her side at his fastest speed!

The tall Male supported her thin shoulders, his dark eyes darkening instantly as he saw the blood on her arm!

"Who hurt you?" Xuan Jin asked in a low voice, carrying an irrepressible, yandere-like madness.

The Little Female he carefully cherished. The Little Female he tried every means to protect.

She repeatedly angered him, hit him, scolded him, bit him, and misunderstood him.

Yet he couldn't bear to hurt even a tiny bit of her.

Who hurt her?!

No matter who it was, he would make them pay the price!

Nan Zhisui had no intention of communicating with him, and she even forgot about her failed escape.

She gripped the small, round metal ball she had dug out of her arm tightly in her hand and closed her eyes.

Sui Sui, be strong. Sui Sui, you have to be strong.

The beast god said slowly: [Nan Zhisui, you've received too much information today; you're tired. Rest first. I'll tell you the rest later.]

...[If you ever have the chance to return to our Hometown, I hope you can inform my family that I have already died in this world.]

[I was born on May 6, 1956, a natural science teacher from ** County, ** City, ** Province in China. My name is Qi Yingmei.]

[By mating and conceiving naturally, I was still able to complete the childbearing missions, though my pregnancy term increased to two months. However, the children I had without taking the childbearing pill were all single births. This is the normal number for human pregnancy and childbirth.]

[And all the children are completely healthy! My own physical condition has also begun to improve greatly.]

[Nan Zhisui, the childbearing system uses technology slightly ahead of Earth's to deceive you human girls. That's all.]

[I hope you discover it yourself, perceive it yourself, and then choose for yourself.]

[Choose whether to soothe the resentment of your beast husbands, and whether to become an enemy of the childbearing system.]

[Only you can save this world. And only you can save the poor girls bound to future childbearing systems like 008, 009, 010, and so on.]

I want to go home.

I don't want to keep having children.

I don't want to treat them like tools, and I certainly don't want to just abandon them and the Cubs.

I don't want to be so immoral.

I don't want to be a heartless woman.

I'm the most pitiful one here.

Why doesn't anyone take pity on me... "Nan Zhisui! Little Female, Little Female..."

After Xuan Jin brought her back to the Cave, he discovered she had developed a fever.

The Cold-Blooded Snake Beastman's eyes were dark. He hissed and flicked his tongue, attempting to use his saliva to disinfect her wound to prevent infection from worsening.

The worry and dread in the eyes of Xuan Jin, the tall and strong leader of the cold-blooded beasts, were even more intense than they had been five years ago.

"Overcome it, Little Female. Everything will get better."

I've wanted to write an anti-childbearing system novel for a long time.

The childbearing system is detestable, and kidnapping is detestable!

In this event, everyone is a victim.

Do not glorify suffering; do not yield to suffering.

All human women are striving to live and striving to resist.

Not a single one has truly and completely become a slave to the childbearing system.

This is the spirit of human girls.
