After I awakened my inner voice, I became the treasure of my family.

Chapter 226 Gloomy Ink Words

She frowned, trying hard to recall any clues from the storybook, but couldn't remember them for the time being.

Li Tingxue paused in her act of cracking sunflower seeds. She looked at Jiang Mianmian sitting opposite her with a surprised expression and muttered to herself, "No, Mother-in-law, you must know her well!"

Isn't that the heroine from our third son's storybook? How could you forget her?

First there was that book, "After the Female Lead Reborn, She Went Crazy Cool," and then there's this one, "After the Female Lead Reborn, She Went Crazy Killing Part 2." That's already two books!

I wonder if they'll release any new works in the future.

Just then, Jiang Mianmian happened to see the name of the blood-soaked female assassin Wu Zhenmin. Her eyes widened suddenly, and she instantly understood:

[Oh, I remember now, isn't this the storybook of the third brother? Wait a minute, the third brother has already had a second book, but the character Mo Ci is actually from the first book!]

Jiang Mianmian frowned. "Besides, he's just a cannon fodder character. That's strange; why didn't I notice him when I read the first book?"

Upon hearing this, Situ Wenqi and Xiao Luan were both shocked: What? Your third son has already written two storybooks?!

In an instant, the two animals looked at each other, unsure of who should sympathize with whom.

After all, no one can say for sure whether these stories will continue to develop into a third, fourth, or even more...

If there really is another one...

The thought sent a chill down the spines of the two non-human creatures.

They thought with lingering fear, "We've already been forced into animal form once, do we have to go through this a second time? If it really happens again..."

My God!

What on earth is going on?! Don't they want people to live?!

And another thing, they thought this new guy was like a silent gourd, never saying a word!

Mo Ci, lying in the corner, was practically a statue, not moving an inch.

If Jiang Mianmian hadn't been constantly flipping through the plot analysis materials, muttering to herself endlessly...

The people and the two animals present probably all thought there wasn't even a cat here!

Mo Ci's presence is so weak, it's almost negligible.

That's right, the all-black cat was lying silently in the corner.

However, no matter where it hides, even if it is well hidden, as long as it is within Jiang Mianmian's line of sight, the bright, shiny tag on its head will instantly reveal its location.

Therefore, finding the black cat was an easy task for Jiang Mianmian.

She seized the opportunity with lightning speed and quickly flipped through the plot interpretation displayed above Mo Ci's head.

At this moment, she was filled with curiosity and wanted to find out what had happened to the black cat that the female protagonist was fixated on, this gloomy villain who could be considered a heavyweight.

The events of the previous story weren't described in detail in the plot summary; only a general outline was given. However, the events of this life are described in considerable detail.

For example, Mo Ci grew up in an orphanage from a young age. Whether he was in the orphanage or after he left, he was always the one being bullied and bullied by others.

If he had anything of even slightly better quality, it would be ruthlessly snatched away by someone else in an instant.

How can a teenager growing up in such an environment possibly have a sunny disposition?

For a long time, he had been gloomy and withdrawn, usually silent and not fond of talking to people.

Such personality traits undoubtedly became evidence in the eyes of the children in the welfare home that "he is not a good person".

Admittedly, not all children bully others, but he still inevitably faced rejection and alienation from other children.

Some children would deliberately bully him from time to time, while others would pretend not to see it. To put it bluntly, everyone was isolating him.

The consequence of his "isolated" personality traits was that whenever he was bullied and humiliated by other children, no one could "notice" what was happening.

At first, no one saw him being bullied; then, when he was bullied even more severely, no one still saw it, and so, he was bullied...

This experience repeated itself day after day, as if trapped in a vicious cycle with no end, and the situation was getting worse and worse.

This deteriorating situation eventually led him down a dark path, and his personality gradually became gloomy, unpredictable, and difficult to fathom.

"So that's how it is! This is the root cause of his descent into darkness!" Jiang Mianmian couldn't help but exclaim.

Indeed, no one is born evil, and he was no exception. He had simply suffered too much bullying and injustice, his heart filled with anger and resentment, yearning for those who had committed heinous crimes to receive their due punishment.

Unfortunately, no one helped him at that time, and in his isolation, he had to rely on himself.

For someone who is outnumbered and outmatched, what methods are available if they wish to take revenge?

It's hard to imagine him having any other choice but to resort to extremely cruel and extreme methods.

And so, the practice of hiring hitmen and framing others arose.

In a sudden and unexpected event, he came into contact with the ruthless killer, Wu Zhenmin.

From that moment on, their contact gradually increased, and their relationship grew closer. One willingly spent large sums of money to hire a killer, while the other ruthlessly carried out the killings.

To hire this cold-blooded female assassin, Mo Ci would undoubtedly have to pay a huge sum of money.

Therefore, left with no other choice, he was forced to embark on another path of no return—swindling other people out of their money.

[Because he truly had no other choice; unable to swindle or rob himself, he had to resort to deception. Otherwise, he simply couldn't come up with enough money to hire the infamous female assassin, Wu Zhenmin, to do his bidding.]

Upon hearing the name "Wu Zhenmin," Mo Ci couldn't help but raise his head: Wu Zhenmin... a female assassin!

He never imagined he would have so many enemies. And all of these enemies were taken care of by a female assassin.

Unfortunately, in his past life, he was ultimately exposed and met a tragic end. The reason for his ultimate failure was that he chose the wrong target to deceive—Situ Wenqi…

[Hmm, he actually dared to lie to Situ Wenqi?]

Upon seeing this, Jiang Mianmian abruptly turned her head to look at Situ Wenqi, exclaiming in surprise, "Wow, what a coincidence! I never imagined that Situ Wenqi would turn into a dog, while he would become a cat."

What's even more interesting is that you two are now living in my house. It seems you two are really destined for each other!

Upon hearing this, Situ Wenqi couldn't help but let out a cold laugh: "Heh...heh...what a coincidence, even something like this gets me involved?!"

At this moment, Mo Ci also turned to look at the dog in the house: So, I died at the hands of this person in my past life!

Seeing this, Xiao Ailuan, who was standing nearby, said: Hmm... it seems that I have nothing to do here!

[That's true. Although Situ Wenqi is usually recuperating, he still owns quite a few businesses, some of which can't be openly operated. Mo Ci foolishly stumbled into these businesses, so how could he not get arrested in the end?]

[Sure enough, Mo Ci was just arrested by Situ Wenqi and thoroughly investigated, and his past was instantly exposed!]

Seeing that he had nowhere to hide, Mo Ci was filled with despair and felt no will to live. Thus, the insane thought of perishing together with his enemy took hold of him.

However, things didn't go as planned! When the fire broke out, Situ Wenqi was unharmed and unharmed; it was Mo Ci himself who ultimately perished in the flames.

[Mo Ci died in his early twenties, very young. What's even more regrettable is that the book provides an extremely detailed description of his appearance, revealing him to be a handsome and exceptionally talented man.]

Upon closer reflection, Mo Ci is indeed a very intelligent and quick-witted person. It's just a pity that his life has been filled with hardship since childhood, his path to adulthood fraught with difficulties and thorns, causing him to waste his great talent.

If he had been born into a prominent family and received a good education, given time, his career would surely have been bright, his future limitless...

[Besides that, there's another crucial point—Mo Ci lacks love. It's precisely because of this that the female protagonist, Su Qianqian, feels pity for him and decides to rescue him from the darkness…]

[But no one could have predicted that Su Qianqian's so-called "rescue" method would be so unique and novel—she actually attempted to transform Mo Ci into a docile and obedient cat?]

Although her actions did allow Mo Ci to temporarily "forget" his hatred and enjoy a period of happiness, she felt she couldn't change his past, but she might be able to influence his future...

Unfortunately, the female protagonist ultimately failed to reverse Mo Ci's fate; instead, just as he regained his humanity and his sanity, she dealt him an even heavier blow and a greater shock.

Mo Ci couldn't help but sigh: "There are so many happy people in the world, why can't I be counted among them?"

Why was he the only one to suffer such torment? He was filled with resentment towards the world, which made his personality even more gloomy.

[Seriously? Logically, the female lead usually rescues the male lead from his misery, right? So why is Mo Ci doing the exact opposite? She's actually causing the male lead even more distress?]

Jiang Mianmian sensed something was wrong and quickly put the book down to continue reading.
