I, the female supporting role, play three male supporting roles at the same time

Chapter 293 Return

After three rounds of tea, Francois said, "I didn't expect to see you here. I thought there was only one 'position' in a world."

Zhao Ruoming also sighed: "I also thought I was the only one fighting alone."

Francois put down his teacup and asked curiously, "How long have you been here?"

"It's been half a year," Zhao Ruoming counted the days, "It will be seven months by the time of the Chinese New Year."

Francois was silent for a while, with a hint of envy in his eyes: "It's great. I've been here for three years."

No wonder François is so skilled in his work, it turns out he has been through the test of time.

Zhao Ruoming asked tentatively: "You...what's going on?"

Francois smiled bitterly and said, "I was hit by a drunk driver. I have no parents, and my grandmother raised me by picking up trash. I was not very talented, and I studied hard since I was young. I was admitted to a key high school and then a key university. But when I was using the first scholarship in my life to buy a gift for my grandmother, I was hit by someone and died."

When François said this, his tone was very calm. If it weren't for the bitterness between his brows that was almost surging out, it would have sounded like he was talking about someone else's business.

François clenched his fists, then immediately released them: "I can't accept this, I really can't accept this. My grandmother was just about to live a good life, and I hadn't become her pride yet, but I died so worthlessly! I didn't even close my eyes when I died, I stared at the driver with gritted teeth, wishing I could eat his flesh and drink his blood..."

Dwelling on the past cannot change the past, Francois exhaled and quickly returned to the topic: "At this time, the system of the Wanxiang Universe bound me and told me that as long as I completed a task according to their requirements, I could be resurrected."

Zhao Ruoming was a little envious when he heard this. Francois could be resurrected by completing a task! She had to complete three!

"So, you agreed?" Zhao Ruoming said.

"Yes. When I came here, the real Francois was already dead." A trace of disgust flashed in Francois' eyes. "Although I am occupying his body now and scolding him for taking advantage of him, I must say that his death was not unjust."

Zhao Ruoming coughed lightly: "François? Isn't your name Theodore?"

Francois was stunned for a moment, and then he looked embarrassed. He had been fighting alone for three years, and he was so eager for companions that he couldn't help but get carried away in front of Zhao Ruoming, and he even blurted out his real name.

After all, Zhao Ruoming and he are from the same hometown, and they are also tasked with the same mission. If he confronts him now, maybe he will cooperate in the mission later, which will be more convenient.

François hesitated and said, "Actually... I'm not Theodore."

Zhao Ruoming opened his eyes wide in pretense: "Ah? You're using a fake name?"

"No." Francois's embarrassment was almost overflowing, "The Theodore you know is actually my brother."

"Ah!" Zhao Ruoming said exaggeratedly, "Why did you pretend to be your brother and lie to me?"

"I'm sorry." Francois' forehead was already covered with cold sweat. "This matter is related to my mission. Can we talk about it later?"

Zhao Ruoming suppressed his laughter and nodded seriously, "Okay. But you have to give me a reasonable explanation."

"Of course." Francois wiped the sweat off his forehead. "Where were we just talking about?"

"François's death." Zhao Ruoming of course still remembered what Theodore had told her about François's deeds. She was also very interested in the ending of this scumbag. "How did he die?"

François hesitated. "He has killed many people. In order to bring him down, his eldest brother adopted the child of his enemy. That child put a deadly poison on his lipstick and face cream. I won't tell you the details, as I'm afraid it will dirty your ears. Anyway, he capsized in the gutter."

It really is a very Mansfield way to die.

"Then I came. After I came back to life, his eldest brother was so scared that he wanted to bring me down every day." Francois showed a lingering fear. "You know our country's college students are mainly innocent. When I first came, those methods almost scared me to tears."

Zhao Ruoming asked with interest: "But I see that you are quite imposing now?"

Francois: “…”

Francois smiled bitterly and said, "Don't tease me. I'm just lucky. If you stayed in the Mansfield family for three years, you would be more powerful than me."

"This is not a tease, nor a compliment." Zhao Ruoming looked at Francois meaningfully, "You are too modest."

The Mansfield family is like a Gu pond, dedicated to raising the biggest and most poisonous Gu worms. Three years in this environment is like a battle royale of rules and ghost stories - after all, what old Mansfield lacks the least is sons. Theodore is such a shameless, difficult and favored person, but he is just a younger brother in this family.

Francois was born in a commoner family, and he established himself there in just three years. Even so, he still said that he was clear and stupid, which was too modest.

François said thoughtfully, "It's not that I'm good, but that they're stupid. You don't know that foreigners' ideas and experiences in struggle are so frighteningly straightforward and shallow, and there's almost no strategy to speak of... At first I thought it was a fight between nine princes for the throne, but it turned out to be just a bunch of little kids shooting at each other with machine guns. I won without realizing it."

Zhao Ruoming thought of Theodore's "strategy of driving the tiger to devour the wolf": "..."

Zhao Ruoming shook his head, expelling the idea of ​​feeding shit to the dog from his mind, and said with a smile: "What exactly is your mission?"

"It's about becoming the Emperor of Darkness, and then having a tragic love affair with the heroine. It's so stupid." Francois pinched his straight nose. "The moment your system saw the heroine Feng Liuxue, it should have been able to find out the content of this book, right? All systems in the Book Department have this function."

The male and female protagonists both have special magnetic fields, which the system can see. Of course, the tasker is an outsider, equivalent to the A-grade male and female protagonists, and does not have this kind of magnetic field. So 203 can see Feng Liuxue's information, but not Francois's.

"The physical and emotional abuse with the heroine... Never mind, you've already seen it. The more difficult part is that I have to become the head of the Mansfield family. After all, sharing a manor with more than a dozen sons, what kind of person is this, uh, the emperor of darkness? I have been planning for a while, and now I have succeeded."

Zhao Ruoming suppressed a smile and said, "Since you have become the head of the family, then it should be smooth sailing, right?"

"Smoothly?" Francois repeated the word, as if amused. "Maybe. I used to think so."

The word "once" gave Zhao Ruoming a sense of foreboding, "Don't you think so now?"

Francois paused.

Suddenly, a trace of hatred flashed in his gem-like eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said, "However, not long ago I found out that I was deceived by them!"

Zhao Ruoming was startled, and leaned forward and asked, "Is the resurrection fake?"

"No, it's true." Francois realized that he was too excited, and quickly tapped Zhao Ruoming's hand with his knuckles to comfort him, "Sit down first and wait for me, until I calm down."

Zhao Ruoming looked at François nervously. If she had been busy for half a year and something went wrong with the resurrection and return home, she would really be devastated!

The more tense the situation became, the more the waiters started to bring food to the private room. Zhao Ruoming could only suppress his anxiety and wait for the waiter to leave.

The dishes were almost all served one after another. After the last dish was served, the waiter said with a smile: "Please enjoy your meal!" Only then did the room become quiet.

After the waiter closed the door, François exhaled, picked up a piece of crystal clear pork belly with chopsticks, but did not put it in his mouth. He just looked at it silently.

After a long while, Francois said, "Some time ago, I accidentally learned that the flow rate in the mission world is the same as that in our hometown world."

Zhao Ruoming was shocked!

François said in a low voice: "I originally thought that the so-called resurrection means that after the mission is completed, we will be sent back to the node where we died to avoid this death, or be "rescued" back. But now I know that the so-called "resurrection" is that after the mission is completed, our repaired bodies will be randomly thrown back to the Earth at the [same time point]. As for the identity, documents and even other people's memories of a person after he is resurrected, the Vientiane Universe does not care at all."

Zhao Ruoming felt his body slowly cooling down.

The universe has always been like this, killing but not burying. The Earth missionaries are worse than disposable toilet paper. Imagine a dead person suddenly emerged from the ground. Whether relatives and friends are excited or scared is not to mention, how to survive has become a problem. No wonder Francois felt that he was deceived——

Wait, that's not right.

wrong!

Zhao Ruoming suddenly remembered the introduction of "The Killer Bewitches the World: The Beautiful and Divorced Wife" that 203 read to her.

[Ten years of entanglement, love and hate. He held her hand tightly, his heart was torn, and every word was tearful...]

ten years!

It was as if a bolt of lightning struck Zhao Ruoming's brain, instantly causing a huge wave of energy. Zhao Ruoming felt that the blood in his body had almost solidified!

Francois covered his eyes to hide his pain: "Do you know how long this task will take me?"

Zhao Ruoming remained silent.

François didn't intend to let her guess, so he said directly: "Ten years! A full ten years!"

François put down his hand and threw away the chopsticks. Veins popped out on the back of his ivory hand. "How many decades can a person have in his life? My grandmother is already old! Who knows if she will still be alive in ten years? If I work hard on a mission for ten years, and then I only see a pile of dirt when I return, what's the point? I might as well die at that intersection forever!"

Zhao Ruoming couldn't help but flash a trace of sadness in her eyes. She couldn't comfort Francois. At this moment, all the comfort seemed pale and powerless, even a little hypocritical.

François' temples were throbbing, and the pain, confusion, and despair that had been suppressed for three years burst out: "Those despicable guys! They deceived me! They gave me a life and made me do those dirty things for them with gratitude for three years! But that night, I realized that all this was meaningless!"

Zhao Ruoming subconsciously touched his arm and felt it was cold.

Francois bent down to pick up the chopsticks, took a deep breath, and said with a wry smile: "Sorry, I was too excited."

"It's okay." Zhao Ruoming handed him a new pair of chopsticks. No wonder Francois was so arrogant in private. Vientiane Universe really screwed him over.

"After I found out about this, I almost lost hope and even thought about dying." Francois recounted the past as calmly as possible, "But if I really die, there will be nothing. 0.0001% hope is better than zero. So I still gritted my teeth and did the task, telling myself that grandma is in good health and a mere ten years will not break her."

Zhao Ruoming lowered his long eyelashes.

"It sounds cowardly, doesn't it? Someone like me actually believes in hope." Francois whispered, "But this is what I really think. I would rather believe that my grandmother will live a hundred years and sit in my yard forever, waiting for me to come home."
