After I Was Erased by the System, She Went Mad

[Self-destructive tendency detected in protagonist, activating backup program—]

[Backup program activated, consciousness takeover successful!]

Tang Tang's body paused for an instant, the light in her eyes immediately extinguished, then lit up again the next second.

She released her grip, and the shard in her hand fell to the ground with a sound, shattering into countless pieces that scattered and cut the exposed skin on her body.

Shi Qiubai witnessed the system taking over Tang Tang's body with her own eyes, her eyes widening slightly. "You, you..."

Su Huan took a step back, her face full of vigilance. "System."

'Tang Tang' smiled and tilted her head to look at them. "Countdown: one hour, three minutes."

"Your plan won't succeed," 'Tang Tang' said. "Ning Yu is the female lead—she can't possibly die. And the ending time has been set. Even if all the Ning family members die, Ning Yu will definitely marry Tang Tang. Moreover, none of them will die. No supporting character will die on the protagonist's wedding day, especially those in the protagonist's group."

If that person really died, it could only mean they were opposing the protagonists.

Antagonists usually don't have good endings.

Like Shi Qiubai, and like... Su Huan.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you—if any protagonist dies, this world will immediately restart!" 'Tang Tang' laughed heartily, her eyes full of malice. "If I were you, I wouldn't hope for Ning Yu to die! After all, Shen Xiaoyu is still trapped in the loop."

Upon hearing this, the color completely drained from both their faces.

No wonder protagonists all had immortality curses!

No wonder Tang Tang had tried so many methods but still hadn't managed to die.

She looked down at her bleeding hands and frowned.

"What a pity. In novel endings, there's usually no bloodshed on wedding days. Sigh~ There's no time to choose other ending dates, so this will have to do. Let's consider today the final climactic plot before the ending!"

Su Huan and Shi Qiubai exchanged glances, seeing each other's ugly expressions, but neither spoke.

'Tang Tang' moved her ears as if hearing something, looking toward the door with excitement. "They're here."

As soon as she finished speaking, chaotic footsteps sounded outside. Before Li Xiang could stop anyone, the laboratory door was violently crashed open, and Ning Yu in formal wear strode in from outside.

Upon seeing everything inside, Ning Yu's expression completely changed, violent emotions spreading without concealment.

She spoke word by word through gritted teeth: "Su! Huan! Shi Qiubai?"

Ning Yu walked toward them step by step. When she saw 'Tang Tang' kneeling among the glass shards, her jawline tightened and her ink-dark eyes seemed ready to unleash a storm.

'Tang Tang' immediately softened upon seeing her, becoming gentle and weak all over, breathlessly saying: "A Yu..."

"Tang Tang!"

Ning Yu forcefully pushed aside the two people in front of her and knelt on one knee. Seeing the deep wounds on Tang Tang's hands that revealed bone, her eyes became bloodshot and her whole body trembled.

"A Yu, you finally came. I almost couldn't see you again." The woman leaned weakly against her chest, half-closing her eyes and inadvertently revealing the marks left by the electrode patches.

Seeing this, how could Ning Yu not understand? Her brow furrowed tightly, angry flames flickering in her eyes.

"How dare you..."

Shi Qiubai crossed her arms, looking at her with calm eyes.

In the past, she would definitely have tried to appease Ning Yu, but now... fuck it, the world was about to be destroyed—even domineering CEOs had to die!

The only pity was that Su Huan had failed and couldn't suppress the system, so they could only be killed by it.

What about Sister?

She was still trapped in that world. Thinking about the remaining two days, Shi Qiubai felt restless and anxious.

'Can't reset! Can't forget Sister! Can't just give up like this!'

Shi Qiubai clenched her fists. As Ning Yu held the unconscious Tang Tang and turned to leave, she suddenly picked up a glass shard from the ground and quickly walked toward them.

Just as she was about to plunge the shard into Ning Yu's heart, Ning Yu seemed to have eyes in the back of her head, dodging sideways while holding the person, then turning around with a flying kick.

Ning Yu was wearing a dress, which already made her movements awkward, and she was holding someone—the flying kick was greatly compromised.

Shi Qiubai could have easily dodged, but for some reason, just as she was about to turn, her body seemed controlled and stood motionless, watching helplessly as Ning Yu kicked her in the stomach, sending her flying.

She crashed into the mess, the glass in her hand exploding on the ground as tiny shards pierced her body. She groaned in pain.

Su Huan didn't move, staring straight at Ning Yu with clenched fists.

Ning Yu raised an eyebrow, curling her lips with wild, brutal eyes. "What? You want to fight me too?"

"Of course not."

How could she possibly beat the protagonist, especially at the end of the plot?

"Tang Tang, don't forget! This is your body. If you can't even control your own consciousness, no one can save you." She seemed to ignore Ning Yu's frowning eyes and continued: "Awakening was an accident during the plot restart process, but it also gave you an opportunity. You've been using the wrong methods all along. To escape the plot, you need to rely on yourself!

You're also a protagonist! As long as you want to, no one can stop you! Not even Ning Yu!"

Ning Yu couldn't understand what she was saying, but the person in her arms moved slightly, seeming to resist something, struggling and frowning slightly.

Ning Yu didn't notice, only glaring at Su Huan. "Su Huan, this isn't over!"

After saying this, she left holding Tang Tang.

Su Huan didn't care much and turned to help Shi Qiubai up. When her hand touched Shi Qiubai's back, she felt something wet and sticky.

Her movements paused slightly as she saw a palm-sized shard embedded in Shi Qiubai's lower back, with blood flowing freely from the wound.

Su Huan's expression changed dramatically as she turned to shout outside: "Li Xiang! Get a doctor over here! Quickly!"

Some of the laboratory researchers had medical training, but most were on the path of scientific development.

Considering future experiments, Su Huan had found several doctors to stand by in the laboratory, but she hadn't expected them to be needed here.

Getting no response, Su Huan raised her voice: "Li Xiang, quickly get someone over here!"

"Sister Huan, Ning Yu left people behind." Li Xiang's restrained voice came from outside the door.

Only then did Su Huan see the people guarding the door and the controlled Li Xiang.

Clearly, Ning Yu didn't want to let them off easily.

Su Huan helped the person sit on the hospital bed and turned to walk outside, looking ready to charge out.

But she hadn't taken two steps before someone grabbed her from behind.

"Don't go looking for trouble. Ning Yu won't let you out." Shi Qiubai said weakly, "She's trying to teach us a lesson, to avenge Tang Tang."

'Have to say, truly worthy of being the protagonist! This scene would definitely be satisfying in a novel. Of course, if we weren't the ones being abused, I'd find it satisfying too.'

"But you'll die." Su Huan's expression was complex. "The laboratory isn't exactly clean, and your wound has bled so much. If it's not treated promptly, you..."

"What does it matter? Whether I die early or late, I'll still die." Shi Qiubai seemed to suddenly see things clearly, sighing slightly. "If I had known I was just cannon fodder, why did I work so hard? Lying flat is truly a very happy thing! If I could start over..."

She paused and didn't continue.

Su Huan sat beside her, worried about Shen Xiaoyu and not in the mood to listen.

She hoped Tang Tang wouldn't disappoint her.

Outside, Ning Yu got in the car holding Tang Tang and instructed the driver to return while calling the family elders to tell them the person had been found.

She had intended to say the wedding should be postponed and they should find an auspicious date.

Just as the words reached her lips, someone grasped her hand. 'Tang Tang' leaning in her arms had somehow awakened, looking at her with watery, burning eyes.

"A Yu, don't delay the wedding." She spoke gently, "I want to marry you today. I can't wait any longer."

Ning Yu's heart melted completely as she lowered her head to kiss her forehead. "We'll arrange the wedding again. This time it really was too hasty. If we postpone it for a while, I'll definitely give you a grander wedding! I'll let everyone know you're my wife." For more chapters visıt novel fire.net

She had the confidence and ability to do so.

'Tang Tang' trusted her very much, but—

"No need. I just want to get recognition from family. The wedding hasn't started anyway—we can go back and continue the ceremony."

She said this while cupping Ning Yu's hand and kissing it. "Or does A Yu not want to marry me anymore?"

Ning Yu laughed. "Of course not. I'm just worried about our child. I don't know what experiments Su Huan did on you or whether those things affected the child, so I wanted to take you to the hospital for a check-up."

"Su Huan didn't have time to do anything to me before all her people collapsed." 'Tang Tang' was soft and weak. "Fortunately you came in time, otherwise I really don't know what else Su Huan would have done to me."

Her brow furrowed as she was on the verge of tears. "Wife, let's get married first, okay? I'm really scared. Only marriage can give me a sense of security. Please?"

Since she had said this much, Ning Yu naturally wouldn't refuse, but she also instructed: "Alright, but if you feel any discomfort, we'll go to the hospital immediately."

Only then did 'Tang Tang' break into a smile through her tears. "Wife, you're so good."

The two embraced each other.

'Tang Tang' lowered her head, hiding the indifferent blue data in her eyes.

[Congratulations host, the mission is about to be completed.]

The controlled Tang Tang watched their interaction with bone-deep coldness, screaming frantically:

[I don't want to! I don't want to marry Ning Yu! Give me back my body! I want to leave! I'd rather die than marry Ning Yu!]

[Host emotional fluctuation detected. System will continue takeover program until the wedding begins.] 'Tang Tang's' voice was cold and merciless, completely ignoring Tang Tang's madness.

[No! No!] Tang Tang was squeezed into a corner by the system, cowering and murmuring.

The car drove very fast along the way. What usually took an hour only took half an hour today.

Ning Yu looked back somewhat strangely, feeling something wasn't quite right but unable to pinpoint what, so she attributed it to high spirits during happy events.

She brought the pale and weak Tang Tang into the hotel, specifically watching as the makeup artist redid her makeup and changed her clothes.

Tang Tang stared blankly at everything before her, the hatred in her heart growing deeper.

Soon, the wedding restarted.

The pastor stood at the center of the stage, and other wedding attendees also looked natural, showing no signs of anything unusual.

'Tang Tang' and Ning Yu walked hand in hand on the red carpet, step by step toward the pastor.

"Today we gather here for the wedding of Ms. Ning Yu and Ms. Tang Tang. So, Ms. Ning Yu, are you willing to choose Ms. Tang Tang as your wife? Whether in poverty or wealth, sickness or health, youth or old age, will you love, comfort, and accompany her forever, for life, never to part?"

"I do." Ning Yu was deeply affectionate.

"Ms. Tang Tang, are you willing to choose Ms. Ning Yu as your wife? Whether in poverty or wealth..."

'Tang Tang' looked at Ning Yu with gentle eyes, preparing to let Tang Tang come online at the last moment to complete the plot, but at this moment, a violent pain struck deep in her brain, and the pastor's voice became blurred.

She frowned, unconsciously gripping Ning Yu's hands tighter, and her vision went black.

The next second, light returned, and the pastor's voice came again: "...comfort her, accompany her, for life, never to part?"

"I..." Tang Tang opened her mouth, had just uttered one word when she realized she had regained control of her body.

Her head felt dizzy, and everything before her kept going black.

"I, I, I..." She repeated for a long time but couldn't say the rest.

The pastor immediately said: "Our bride is nervous. So Ms. Tang Tang, are you willing to... for life, never to part?"

She repeated the vows again, giving Tang Tang time to recover.

"I..." Tang Tang finally came to her senses, forcefully pushing away Ning Yu's hand and shouting loudly: "I'm not willing!"

"I don't want to marry you! I don't want to become a tool, don't want to be controlled! The plot can't do anything to me, and neither can the system! I'm the female lead! I'm also the female lead! Why can't I change my own fate even after awakening?!"

Tears streamed down her face as she screamed hoarsely: "I, Tang Tang, am not your tool! I won't let you manipulate me!"

She reached into her chest and pulled out a fruit knife that had somehow been hidden on her body. Before Ning Yu could react, she plunged it fiercely into her heart!

Blood sprayed out as Ning Yu's eyes widened in disbelief, falling to the ground.

But Tang Tang's face showed a smile. Looking at her blood-covered hands, she trembled with excitement, screaming madly: "I, I won't follow the plot, and you can't control me either!"

Amid the guests' screams, she raised the knife high and stabbed it into her protruding belly.

Intense pain struck as Tang Tang's face lost all color. Her legs went weak and she fell to her knees, blood from her abdomen blooming like gorgeous flowers on her white wedding dress.

She looked at her stomach, laughing wildly: "No one can control me!"

Tang Tang pulled out the knife and, with tears streaming down her face, pressed it to her neck. Amid the system's sharp warning sounds, she forcefully slit her throat.

Tang Tang lay on her back on the ground, watching the gradually darkening sky as the chaotic sounds around her disappeared bit by bit.

The entire world became quiet.

The corners of her mouth gradually stretched into a smile like a ray of sunshine after rain—clear and bright.

She had controlled her own life. This time, she had won!

Won...

"Hahahaha—fuck you—female lead..."
