Chapter 5%
My brother and Gerald froze in place, their voices sharp and panicked in the darkness.
“Impossible! There’s no way Luna could be dead! She had a protagonist halo, how could she die?“>
They tried calling out to the original system, but all they received was a cold, mechanical reply:
[System No. 1007 made a fatal error and has been executed by the Heavenly Law. I am System No. 1008. This world is now under my control.]
[Due to the host’s forced modification of the plot, resulting in the tragic death of an important character, the plot will now be reset. Countdown: 3 days. Please prepare…]}
My brother and Gerald suddenly opened their eyes.
They found themselves still in the hospital room. Daisy was still crying, with the doctor bandaging her wounds.
Seeing that they didn’t respond, she said in a soft voice, “Nick, Gerald, it hurts so much… Am I going to die?“>
If this had been before, her words would have made both of them panic with concern.
Although she wasn’t aware of the system’s presence, she had noticed that whenever she got injured, these two would always show an abnormal level of anxiety.”
This was one of the reasons she had stayed in the Helmes Family for five years.
Although my brother and Gerald seemed to favor me on the surface, as long as she faked an injury and played the victim, the two of them would always reprimand me for it and sometimes even subtly punish me.
But now, her plan had fallen apart.}
My brother and Gerald rushed to my bedside.}
“Luna, hang on, you’re not going to die!“}
“We were wrong. As soon as you wake up, we will find the evidence of those thugs who kidnapped and harmed you and clear your name!“}
My brother trembled as he placed his hand under my nose. His face turned ashen.”
“She really has no breath…”
“Impossible! Luna is the protagonist. She has a halo. How could she die? She loves us so much, how could she choose to die?“}
Gerald shouted, hastily putting my oxygen mask back on.}]
The cold voice of the new system echoed: [If the protagonist completely loses their will to survive, they can choose to end their life.]}
“System, please, save her, please! She shouldn’t be the one hurt. She should not be the one who dies!“}]
My brother’s tears, full of regret, fell onto my face in large drops.
[When you hid the truth from the Heavenly Law and allowed her to bear these injuries in Daisy’s place, why didn’t you think about it then? To tei! you the truth, she overheard your conversation with the old system while she was being tortured and that’s why she has long since given up on living.]}
The two of them were stunned on the spot, their faces completely pale.”
My brother slapped his own face in anguish, whispering in pain. “So that’s how it is… When my sister was tortured by those beasts, she must have felt utterly hopeless! She must have wondered, why would her closest brother allow her to suffer like this?”
Gerald also fell to his knees beside the hospital bed, painfully tugging at his hair. “I’m sorry… Luna, it’s my fault. I was cowardly and afraid of death, which is why I pushed you into the fire… We grew up together in the orphanage, we promised to be family for life. Don’t die… Please give me a chance to make it right.“}
My brother pulled the doctor over, shouting, “Hurry! Use electrotherapy, I don’t care what method you use, just save my sister!”
The doctor hurriedly called the nurse and began to attempt to resuscitate my body.”
It was only at this moment that the doctor finally realized something was wrong. “Those thugs are simply inhuman. They are beasts! She was even pregnant, but they… they still…!”
Upon hearing this, Gerald froze in place. “Luna… was carrying my child?“}
“When she was assaulted, the child was lost… She is so pitiful!“}
The doctor and nurse had tears in their reddened eyes. Gerald knelt on the floor, completely numb with shock.
“How could this happen… Luna, I was the one who hurt you. I was the one who hurt you and our child!”
My brother sobbed bitterly as well. “You must save my sister!”
Daisy, clutching her wound, looked on in disbelief. These two had always been the ones most concerned about her.
Why were they now standing by, watching her bleed and suffer without lifting a finger?
‘It’s all that wretched woman’s fault! Is she actually faking her death just to get their attention?‘
