Chapter 1

My girlfriend, Heather Reid, looked at me lovingly as she placed a warm plate of food before me.“Nick, you’ve been busy for the whole morning. Have your lunch before it goes cold.” I thanked her softly, but my gaze lingered on that delicate lunchbox for a few seconds longer.In the past, it seemed like I had started becoming sleepy at work after having this specific lunch.“Why aren’t you eating? Do you not like the food I brought you?” Heather saw that I was not eating, so she questioned me urgently. I looked at her and flashed her a gentle smile. However, inside, I felt no trace of warmth.The new male colleague, Justin Smith, walked over at the same time. “Nick, you’re a lucky man!“Not only are you the top sales performer in our company, but you also have such a lovely girlfriend who prepares meals for you. I’m so jealous of you.” I smiled in response. Then, I picked up the lunchbox and said meaningfully, “Very soon, you’ll have a girlfriend who’s exactly like thi

This afternoon, I was making a phone call with an important client. When we were about to discuss the key agenda, I felt that familiar sense of sleepiness again. I kept pinching my thigh. My fingernails were digging into my flesh, but my eyes were still glued shut. I was woken up by the client’s impatient voice. “Mr. Callum, are you there? Mr. Callum!” I came back to my senses and immediately apologized. However, the client had already lost his patience. He had hung up on me. I put down my phone dispiritedly, and when I looked up, I met Justin’s smug eyes. Heather walked over, seeming disappointed. “Nick, what’s going on with you? We’ve been working on Mr. White’s case for almost two months. How can you suddenly drop the ball on us?” I was disgusted by her hypocrisy. “I…”I wanted to say something, but I realized I did not even have the strength to explain. That bone-deep exhaustion was drowning my will slowly. I had to find out how this bug was planted in me. Ot

Justin immediately teared up. He stared at me in disbelief, and his lips were trembling. “Nick, I really don’t know what you’re implying. I don’t know what I did wrong. Why are you targeting me?”His teary expression made others sympathize with him. The other colleagues and Peter saw my hysterical expression. They looked at me with disdain and confusion. It was as if I were truly an unreasonable madman. Peter finally lost his patience. He yelled at me, “Nick! I think you’ve been under too much stress recently. That’s why you’ve been acting crazy!“Next week, a leader from our headquarters will visit us. You should take some time off to rest. I don’t want you to act up when they come!“You can hand your ongoing work over to Justin!” After Peter said that, he left without looking back. A few colleagues started to gossip, and I felt hurt by all the ridicule and mockery. Even Heather was looking at me with cold disappointment. I grabbed my bag absent-mindedly and left the

Justin immediately snapped up and stared at the crowd that was surrounding him in a daze. His eyes were filled with confusion. Peter was glaring fiercely at him with a darkened expression. As for Mr. Robinson, he was looking at Peter with a disappointed look. Though Mr. Robinson’s voice was not loud, he hit the nail on the head. “Peter, the CEO handed East Corporation’s branch to you, and this is how you govern it?”He pointed at Justin, who was fast asleep, and said sarcastically. “Your employee is sleeping during working hours. Does he think that this is a hotel?“I don’t think there’s a need for me to continue my visit.“That’s all. I’ll report what I have seen today to the CEO, and I’ll be perfectly honest!” After he said that, he did not even spare a glance at Peter and his pale expression. He turned around and left with his assistants. Peter was terrified. He immediately went forward to send them off. He looked as though he was smiling in pain. It seemed like he

Justin trembled and took a step back subconsciously.“I didn’t even take any action when you slept during working hours a few days ago!“Yet, how dare you sleep before Mr. Robinson today? Were you a pig in your past life?“How is it possible that you’re sleeping like a pig?”Peter’s words got harsher, and everyone else was dead silent. No one even dared to breathe too loudly. Justin’s face was flushed from embarrassment. Even his neck was red, and he could not even say a word. His mind was tangled up. It was not right!He clearly remembered that after he sundried the sleepy bug and ground it into powder, he secretly smeared the powder all over my seat when I was not around. Once I sat down, it would automatically connect me to him and transfer his sleepiness to me. He had seen that I had become sleepy. He even saw me fall asleep after putting my head on the desk. How had this happened, then? Why was he the one who fell asleep in the end? He could not figure it out, a

Justin was extremely furious. He stared at Heather in disbelief. Heather was the one who promised him confidently that if he managed to take me down, she would break up with me.Then, she would be with him and make him the top sales performer of the company. They would be able to live a good life together. Instead, she was trying to disentangle herself from this mess! Justin lost his rationality after Heather’s betrayal and after getting fired. “Heather, you witch! You’re a liar!” He roared and simply picked up an uncovered pen from the desk. Then, with all his might, he stabbed the pen into Heather’s neck. With a loud noise, blood splattered out from Heather’s neck and onto Justin’s face. “Ah!” A few timid female colleagues started screaming. The situation was out of control. It was as though Justin could not sense anything around him. His face was covered in warm blood as he started laughing maniacally.He turned around and stared intently at me with bloodshot

After I settled Justin’s case, there was another person that I needed to say goodbye to. I brought a fruit basket with me as I walked into the ward of the city hospital. I saw Heather lying on the hospital bed. Her neck was wrapped in thick bandages, and her face was extremely pale. She was staring blankly at the ceiling. The once beautiful woman had become a soulless shell.Her empty eyes lit up a little when she saw me walking in. She struggled to sit upright, and she was making some noises, but she could not say a word. I placed the fruit basket on the bedside table and looked at her calmly. Even though she survived the attack, her vocal cords were completely damaged. She would no longer speak again. She saw that I looked indifferent, and she blinked at me anxiously. She pointed at her mouth, and then she gestured an apology. I understood her, so I said, “Are you trying to apologize to me?”She nodded frantically. Her eyes were filled with regret and desperatio

Chapter 8

The system I was in was called [Causality Reversal System]. The core rule was not a simple rebound. Before the system started, I had to fulfill three criteria, which were to clearly identify the person who put the spell on me, the attacking medium, and the attacking method. It was a clear procedure, and I had to gather every single piece of evidence. It was why, even though I clearly knew that they were behind it, the system did not kick-start. Even though I knew Justin and Heather were the ones behind it and knew that they were using a sleepy bug, I did not know the exact medium for that transference. When I blew up at work, though it seemed like I was losing my temper on the surface, I was actually trying to probe them. When I yelled at Justin for transferring the sleepiness to me and claimed that the jacket was the medium, I saw that Justin glanced at the chair instead. It was then that I noticed there was some white powder residue on my office chair. Then, I put two
