228 Another system appears
At that very moment, the previously calm atmosphere was suddenly shattered.
A series of intermittent sounds, seemingly traveling through time and space, invaded Liu Jiajia's thoughts without warning. It carried the chill of distant outer space, and seemed to be shrouded in mist, hazy and elusive.
The voice mumbled, "...Host detected..."
However, the mysterious words abruptly stopped before they could be finished, followed by another equally fragmented and indistinct sentence: "Host detected, preparing...preparing, contract, host, is...contract..."
This strange sound was sometimes clear as if it were right next to your ear, and sometimes as faint as the fluttering of a mosquito's wings; sometimes it seemed within reach, and sometimes it vanished into nothingness.
It's like a radio wave that's been severely interfered with, erratic and difficult to grasp its full meaning.
As the strange sound appeared and disappeared, Liu Jiajia's expression changed drastically in an instant.
Her once rosy face quickly lost its color and turned ashen white.
A look of terror surged forth like a flood bursting its banks, engulfing her completely without giving her a moment to breathe.
Her eyes widened, her pupils contracted sharply, and her mouth was slightly open as if she wanted to scream, but her throat felt as if it were being tightly gripped by an invisible hand, preventing her from making a sound.
Her delicate body trembled violently, as if struck by an invisible electric current, and she began to shake involuntarily.
Her hands shot up as if by reflex, covering her ears tightly, trying to completely shut out the eerie and chilling sound.
However, all these efforts were in vain.
The terrifying sound was like a sharp dagger, piercing straight through her palms and eardrums, and deeply penetrating the depths of her soul.
Extreme fear, like a surging black tide, instantly overwhelmed all her reason.
At this moment, she had completely fallen into madness and chaos.
Her face was filled with panic, her steps were unsteady, and she kept uttering frantic, incoherent low screams: "Who?! What are you? Come out! Come out!!"
Her voice trembled violently, each word sounding like it was being squeezed out from between her teeth, filled with undisguised terror and despair.
Extreme fear, like an invisible, enormous black hand, gripped her throat tightly, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.
Her eyes widened as if they were about to pop out of their sockets, her face was ashen, and large beads of sweat rolled down her forehead.
Just then, a few people who had not yet left gathered around.
They were each busy with their own tasks, some lost in thought, others talking quietly.
However, when Liu Jiajia's sudden, resounding scream rang out, everyone stopped what they were doing and turned to look at her with astonishment.
These gazes contained doubt, shock, and, more than anything, deep fear.
The faces of these people were filled with a bewildering, indescribable look of confusion. They stood there as if frozen in place, staring blankly ahead, completely unaware of what had happened.
So much so that one person involuntarily stopped walking, frozen in place like a statue, staring intently at Liu Jiajia. His gaze was like two searchlights, seemingly trying to penetrate Liu Jiajia's body to find any clues that could explain this incredible scene.
However, not everyone present paid attention to or became curious about Liu Jiajia's unusual behavior at this moment.
Among this group of people was a man whose once handsome face was now distorted by his intense disgust.
He gave Liu Jiajia a disdainful look, then his lips moved slightly as he mumbled a few words that were difficult for others to understand.
Without hesitation, he turned around, took long strides, and quickly left the place full of trouble and chaos, as if Liu Jiajia was nothing more than a phantom in the air, not worth his time or effort.
In that instant, Liu Jiajia completely disregarded the various strange looks that others were casting at her.
Her inner world seemed to have been ravaged by an extremely violent hurricane and torrential rain. Fear and unease surged in like a raging tide, instantly engulfing her in this turbulent sea.
At this moment, Liu Jiajia had no extra energy to pay attention to the strange looks she was receiving.
Her once peaceful heart seemed to be suddenly trampled and ravaged by a violent storm that arrived without warning.
That feeling of fear and unease was like a surging tide, one wave after another crashing against her, until it completely swallowed her up.
The mysterious entity that appeared out of nowhere and kept talking incessantly in her mind was like a huge mystery that could not be solved, causing a deep sense of fear to rise in her heart and gradually sinking her into the abyss of despair.
The mysterious voice that inexplicably entered the depths of her mind and kept chattering endlessly, like a tangled mess of a mystery, clung to her tightly, causing an extreme sense of fear to arise from the depths of her heart.
Whenever that voice echoed in her mind again, it was like an incredibly heavy iron hammer striking her fragile nerves, causing her body to tremble uncontrollably.
"What exactly are you? Why have you been hiding in my mind all this time? Show yourself right now! Now! Immediately! Right now!" Liu Jiajia screamed hoarsely, her voice echoing through the sky as if she wanted to tear the whole world apart.
She shook her head frantically and waved her hands wildly, trying to drive that mysterious and unpredictable presence out of her mind.
However, no matter how hard she tried, it was all in vain. The unknown thing, like a ghost, lingered deep in her mind and refused to leave.
Not far from Liu Jiajia, several members of the Liu clan stood there, coldly watching the woman who had fallen into a state of madness.
Their eyes held no pity or sympathy, only deep disgust and disdain.
They were not surprised at all by Liu Jiajia's current frantic behavior, only thinking that she had been greatly stimulated by what she had just experienced, which was why she had become so crazy.
Liu Jiajia was disheveled, her face filled with terror and despair, and she kept muttering words that were incomprehensible to others.
She would laugh wildly at times, and then burst into tears at others, seemingly having completely lost her mind.
When the members of the Liu clan saw her ridiculous and nonsensical behavior, they couldn't help but feel contempt.
They all shook their heads and began to whisper among themselves:
"Look at her now, she's a complete madwoman! She's utterly disgraceful!"
"Hmph, isn't this all her own fault? If she hadn't done such a shameless thing back then, how could she have ended up in such a miserable state today?"
One of them said with a look of disgust, "Let's get out of here quickly. Let's not stay with this shameless woman anymore, lest we get bad luck from her. She brought this upon herself; she has no one else to blame!"
After saying that, he turned and walked away, with the others following closely behind, and soon disappeared from Liu Jiajia's sight.
One of them frowned, his displeasure evident on his face. He muttered in a low voice, "Let's hurry up and leave. Look at what this person has done. He deserves it all! He has no choice but to suffer such a miserable fate."
The other person next to him nodded in agreement, his face also showing disdain. He sighed and said, "That's right! How could such a nice young lady be so heartless as to do such disgraceful and shameful things? She actually shamelessly offered herself to a man, and what's even more infuriating is that the man didn't even care about her! Oh dear, this has really disgraced our Liu family! Come on, let's not stay here and watch this unbearable scene."
At this point, the two couldn't help but recall the woman's past appearance, and both shook their heads with emotion.
"Back then, she was a well-educated, dignified, and virtuous young lady. Who would have thought that she would be so resolute and do such a despicable thing? Not only does she disregard her own reputation to pester men, but she is also completely unaware of their indifference and coldness towards her."
"Sigh, I really don't know what she was thinking, that she would turn out like this... Isn't this bringing shame to the entire Liu clan? Oh well, let's leave quickly, so we don't have to see this embarrassing situation again."
With that, the two quickened their pace and hurriedly left the place.
"That's absolutely true! Even her own parents turned a blind eye to the situation and heartlessly walked away. Why should we, who have nothing to do with this, get involved in this mess?"
One of them shook his head repeatedly and sighed heavily.
Before he finished speaking, he turned around, as if to leave.
Just then, everyone present seemed to wake up from a dream and suddenly realized that Liu Jiajia's parents had quietly left the scene at some point.
At this moment, only Liu Jiajia remained there all alone. She was like a madwoman, completely out of control, agitated and disorderly.
Seeing this scene, everyone frowned in unison, their eyes filled with a variety of complex emotions that were hard to fathom.
While there was some pity and sympathy for her unfortunate situation, there was more of a feeling that her current wretched state was entirely her own fault and she deserved to suffer.
So people shook their heads slightly, each with a helpless expression and an almost indifferent attitude on their faces.
Immediately afterwards, everyone seemed to reach a tacit understanding, and no one paid any more attention to Liu Jiajia, who had lost her mind and was in a state of madness.
And so, one by one, the people shook their heads and sighed, then turned away expressionlessly, their heavy steps carrying them away, leaving Liu Jiajia alone to continue venting her inner pain and despair.
They turned away without a second thought, as if they hadn't seen her at all, and walked away resolutely into the distance.
They didn't even spare a glance for this seemingly deranged woman, as if she were just an inconspicuous stone on the roadside, not worth spending even a second to pay attention to.
At this moment, Liu Jiajia stood alone, like a fallen leaf, having lost her support and direction.
Her slender figure appeared exceptionally small and fragile in the crowd, as if a gentle breeze could blow her over.
However, the people passing by seemed oblivious to this scene. They hurried past with indifference and aloofness on their faces, showing no intention of stopping to offer a helping hand.
Although some people secretly felt sorry for Liu Jiajia, after all, who could bear to watch a girl be so heartlessly abandoned by her own parents?
However, whenever these people's thoughts returned to the various mistakes Liu Jiajia had made, the little bit of sympathy that had just emerged was like a candle flickering in the wind, instantly extinguished by the cold wind of reality and vanished without a trace.
Even for those who genuinely feel pity for Liu Jiajia's tragic past, the mere thought of her past behavior will instantly dispel any remaining sympathy.
It was like a sudden downpour that mercilessly extinguished the last bit of warmth, leaving only coldness and despair.
It must be admitted that, as the widely circulated proverb says, "Every pitiful person has something hateful about them," Liu Jiajia's appearance at this moment truly evokes feelings of pity and sympathy.
However, whenever people recall her past words and actions, the sympathy they initially felt for her, wanting to help and care for her, vanishes instantly and becomes difficult to maintain.
