Chapter 1

What kind of feeling is it to see your own body lying on the ground like a lump of mud?

Jin Qing tilted her head, standing to the side, looking at her body, which had been shattered by the construction site crane, and silently pondered, there are countless ways to die, but this one is truly miserable!

It turns out that there really is a soul after death. Watching the rescue teams rush past her body to save other severely injured people, it was a very strange feeling, as if she were like the wind, about to scatter at any moment, yet able to instantly coalesce again.

She reached out to touch her body, which she had used for 30 years, but she couldn't do it.

They say that when a person dies, their life flashes before their eyes like a movie, but Jin Qing didn't have that experience at all. However, it was for the best; she had always been alone in the world, with no ties or attachments, and there was nothing worth lingering over. She only remembered the last scene in her memory: seeing a mother and child about to be hit by the unbalanced crane, she suddenly burst with an unknown surge of energy and pushed them away, only to be hit herself along with a few other unfortunate souls.

Now, Jin Qing stood there, watching the people around her. Some were shouting, some were moaning, some were calling 120, and others were trying to move the crane to rescue the survivors. In the distance, the developer was wailing, "This is the end!"

Of course it is, with so many casualties, if you could still live, I would have died in vain! Jin Qing thought to herself. Meanwhile, the mother she had saved had already come to her senses and quietly slipped away with her child, unnoticed by everyone.

"Hmph! Human nature," Jin Qing raised an eyebrow and sneered. After all, she had never done anything good in the past 30 years, and saving two people before her death could be considered giving back to society.

As the crane was slowly moved away, the workers and rescue teams rushed forward to check the injuries of the victims. At this moment, Jin Qing noticed that her soul was beginning to disperse like a drop of ink in a glass of water. She looked up at the sun one last time, perhaps she would never see it again.

"You're melting me!" Jin Qing complained to the sun. But the more she looked at the sun, the more it seemed wrong, gradually growing larger and falling towards her. It felt like it was crashing down on her again. Was it not enough to be hit by a crane, now the sun too?

Only when it was close did she realize that it wasn't the sun, but a white vortex that swept up her dispersing soul and vanished as if nothing had happened.

"Beep, suitable host found! Checking compatibility for soul binding."

"Check complete, host attributes fully compatible with the system. The Compassionate Redemption System is now bound. I am 707, ready to serve you." A Siri-like voice echoed.

"Host, wake up." Jin Qing closed her eyes, enjoying the moment of peace and nothingness, but the Siri-like voice wouldn't let her be.

She opened her eyes groggily to a blinding white. Was this a hospital? How could she still be alive after being crushed into a spineless creature? It was unbelievable. Then she noticed a silver light ball bouncing around happily.

"Am I not dead?" Jin Qing asked in confusion, realizing she could speak again. She couldn't make any sound when her soul left her body, so why was she still alive? She looked at her hands, which were not the rough, thick hands from years of bricklaying, but smooth and delicate, almost translucent, yet beautiful. In her memory, her hands hadn't been so smooth and soft since she was 15.

"You are dead, but now you are in a soul state. Since your mental age is 14, your soul appears as a 14-year-old. You are a kind-hearted host, and as a redemption system, I love hosts like you!" The light ball continued to bounce excitedly.

The bouncing was making Jin Qing's mind restless, and she couldn't concentrate. She reached out to grab the light ball, intending to stop it. If it kept bouncing, she would vomit, even if her stomach hadn't been crushed. But her hand passed through the light ball, grabbing nothing. "Right, I'm a ghost..." (；д；) Jin Qing finally recalled her last moments.

"Host, you are not a ghost, you are a spirit!" The light ball contracted and bounced even more happily, seemingly unaware that it had just been in danger. "Host must really like me, she was trying to touch me! ♪(≧?≦*)♪"

"Can you stop bouncing? Where are we?" Jin Qing tried to control her emotions, reminding herself that she couldn't touch it, while also processing the fact that she was dead.

"Host, hello. I am the Compassionate Redemption System 707. You can call me 707. Because of your kind heart and your selfless act of saving others, your soul sent a signal to our main brain. Since your situation fits our system's criteria, we have collected your soul, making you a noble tasker to complete our redemption missions and save those in dire straits." 707 explained enthusiastically.

I might have encountered a brainless alien, I wonder how much I could sell it for! This was Jin Qing's first impression of 707.

"Being a tasker has many benefits!" 707 quickly tried to entice her.

"Benefits?" Jin Qing's eyes lit up, subconsciously ignoring the word "tasker."

"Yes, as a tasker, you can travel to many different worlds, experience different landscapes, and help different people. You can save their lives, help them achieve their goals, and reach the pinnacle of life." 707 enthusiastically pitched to Jin Qing.

"Not interested, I want to reincarnate." Nonsense tasker, just trying to trick me into doing hard work. Who will save me? Jin Qing thought disdainfully.

From a young age, she had learned that one could only rely on oneself. If you didn't pick up money on the street, you lost it. Asking her to help others save their lives was a joke. Jin Qing laughed coldly inside.

"But you are already bound to me, so you can't reincarnate." 707 stopped bouncing, and the silver ball turned pink as if it had been heated.

"Really, you can change color?" Jin Qing was surprised.

"Please focus, host." 707's pink color deepened.

"What is binding?" Jin Qing asked.

"Binding means we are a life symbiont. Our souls are connected, living and dying together. When you become strong, I become strong, and when you disappear, I disappear. So you can't reincarnate. My energy is too powerful for humans to handle. If you really want to reincarnate, the mother and child would explode." 707 explained.

"Who made you bind with me? I just want to die. I've had enough of living. How about we die together?" Jin Qing rubbed her nose and sincerely suggested to 707.

Main brain (ㄒoㄒ)~~ Save me, this host is impossible, not at all kind, and I'm bound to a lunatic! This was 707's first impression of Jin Qing. The white ball, now pink, was completely panicked.
