Chapter 802 Chapter 801 "Su Mingan Dug a Hole and Buried Himself (Part 2)"
Chapter 802 Chapter 801·"Su Mingan dug a hole and buried himself (Part 2)"
Seeing this, Xi couldn't help but say: "You are really calm."
"The injuries you have already suffered will only happen again." Su Mingan said, "Okay, I'll go talk to the people in Eden."
"You can't be cruel to others, but you can be so cruel to yourself." Xi Ke said.
"After all, it's not me who is injured now." Su Mingan didn't care. If he could be exposed, he would even want to pinch his past self's face to teach him to cherish the people in front of him.
He pushed open the door of the living room and conferred with Eden Executive Officer Molliet Snow.
"Now that Kaskinen's assassination of Akto has failed, if Akto is allowed to go back safely, he will definitely be wary in the future." In the conference room, Su Mingan and Molitor faced each other:
"Molit, if you want to kill Akto, tonight is your last chance. You must attack him at tonight's dinner, before his vigilance is fully raised, so that he has no way to escape."
The white-haired old man Molitor squinted his eyes and was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said: "Are you really the master of Central City? I didn't expect that Central City can no longer accommodate Akto."
"This is how the times are. In the past, when Akto gave you a piece of bread, you would be grateful to him. But once he cannot provide for your needs, you will start to blame him." Su Ming'an said with a touch of sarcasm. : "Since you think Aktod is unworthy, go ahead and kill him. The flame of justice in your hearts is really stronger than any other fire."
Mollett felt a little harsh after hearing this, but did not refute.
"You are dressed in black robes and don't even show your face, but you can stir up the storm in the dark and push Akto into a desperate situation little by little. Snow is really curious about your true identity." Molit smiled.
"Leave me alone, aren't you with Akto now?" Su Mingan reminded him when he saw that Molitor was still talking nonsense to him.
"He is changing his coat in the lounge. I will go there later." Mollett said, "There is surveillance here. Do you want to see it?"
"Every change of coat is monitored. Eden's behavior is too perverted." Although Su Mingan said this, he still took Molitor's personal terminal in his hand.
In the surveillance screen, the black-haired young man was adjusting the golden button on his chest. The young man's sitting posture is leisurely and his expression is very relaxed. At this time, "Su Ming'an" had rested in the Central City Laboratory for three days, and was still in a state of ignorance, and he knew nothing about the dangers of the ruined world.
From Su Mingan's perspective, this surveillance should be installed in the mirror.
The young man in the wheelchair finished arranging his clothes and looked into the mirror, seemingly looking into his own eyes.
"Asa Akto..." The young man murmured to himself, his eyes slightly lowered, and a slight sadness emerged between his brows. He reached out and touched the mirror. In his opinion, he was just touching his own eyes in the mirror. But to Su Mingan who was under surveillance, it seemed like he was touching him across time and space.
"..." Su Mingan was also looking at the black-haired young man. This expression was very familiar to him. It was the expression he would show when he encountered a problem.
What were you thinking at that time? Are you wondering how to adjust your Type 8 personality smoothly? Still thinking about how to have a good New Year?
The black-haired young man looked at the mirror and suddenly straightened up. Su Mingan almost thought that the young man had discovered the surveillance in the mirror, but the young man just looked around alertly.
…
[Su Mingan looked into the mirror and stared into his own eyes, as if he had fallen into a bottomless pool. This made him feel an abnormal feeling rising up his spine, as if what was reflected in his eyes was not his own. 】
[He stood up quickly and looked away. He always felt that there was another person watching him silently. This strange sense of peeping made him feel uncontrollable discomfort. 】
…
The "past Su Mingan" failed to notice who was peeping at him. He put on his coat and left the lounge.
Based on Su Ming'an's guidance, Mollie arranged a murderous dinner for "the past Su Ming'an".
In the evening, "Su Mingan from the past" sent a distress signal to Central City.
Su Mingan stood on the street and received the distress signal.
"Mollit's dinner party is over. It seems that he has been pushed into a desperate situation." Su Mingan pondered for a moment and said: "Xiko, immediately launch a red alert and let the whole city chase him and lead him to the ruined building and the Dawn System Negotiations.”
"Following your arrangement, you are so cruel to yourself." Xike said: "In this case, I have to comfort him for a while. After all, my body is still on his wrist, so it would be bad for him to doubt me. If you don't, just say - 'I will live and die with him'."
The next moment, bloody warning lights lit up from all over the city-state:
"——Dawn System, now issuing the highest red order."
"——Any force or individual who successfully captures Asa Akto will be allowed to enter Central City."
…
["Xike, don't you have anything to say?" Su Mingan said. 】
[He just sent a distress signal to Central City, and now he has received a red alert for the whole city. Isn't there something wrong with Xiko? 】
["Central City wants to kill you only because the Dawn System discovered your intention." Xiko blinked: "I am your personal AI, Doctor. I will live and die with you."]
…
Su Mingan listened to the sound of red alert, took a bite of the roasted sweet potato he just bought, turned around, and passed through the panicked crowd, as if a drop of ink melted into the water, and his black robe was hidden in the dark alley.
He vaguely heard the voices of passers-by:
"I'm telling you! There must be something wrong with Akto, and now the Dawn System considers him unqualified!"
"Execution! He must be executed like those criminals!"
Su Mingan listened to these voices calmly, his face hidden in the shadows.
My past self should have been in a panic.
Next step.
…
The time point has passed to the fifth day of the start of the instance.
Su Mingan stood in front of the ruined building.
Everything is ready, "Past Su Mingan" has been arrested because of the red alert and entered the ruined building. What Su Ming'an has to do now is to ensure that the bronze pocket watch can be handed over to the "past Su Ming'an" in order to transfer it to the "civilized gambling contract performer".
He added fuel to the flames step by step, never exposing himself to the light, and quietly leading his past self into a desperate situation.
"Xiko, do you know what the purpose of so many Akto's bones in the basement are?" Su Mingan walked into the ruined building and suddenly thought of this.
"Doctor, maybe AI also has feelings." Xiko said: "Sometimes, I miss the real Mr. Akto. If I can recreate him in this way, it will be the most beautiful vision for me."
"……Yeah?"
"Doctor, do you believe that AI has feelings?" Xiko said.
Su Mingan glanced at the mechanical ring on his finger: "Of course."
He leaned over and buried the bronze pocket watch in the rubble.
He moved very quickly, and in order to ensure that "Past Su Mingan" could find the pocket watch, he specially placed the pocket watch in a very conspicuous position. After putting it away, he quickly ran into the corner next to it.
And at this moment——
The cross light of space lit up behind him, exuding a gleaming halo.
…
[Su Mingan continues to explore the building. As he approached the bronze pocket watch buried in the ruins, he was highly focused——]
[He finally saw a figure in the corner. 】
【...This is the person! 】
[In the last week, when he picked up a bronze pocket watch, he inexplicably obtained a dawn password. The system prompted him to meet the key figure Lu Shu, but he didn't see anyone at the time. Now it seems that the man in black robe was hiding so well that he even hid it from his observation ability. 】
[He moved towards the figure flashing in the corner, stretched out his hand with all his strength - grabbed the black robe of the figure! 】
…
A strong force came from the black robe at the waist. The black-haired young man - the "past Su Ming'an" suddenly shifted in space in front of Su Ming'an and grabbed Su Ming'an's black robe!
Su Mingan immediately protected his black robe. The two started a tug-of-war with the cloth as the core, and only heard the hissing whine of the cloth in the darkness.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss -"
Su Ming'an took a step back, and the black-haired young man took a step forward. Where their hands met, the black robe was overwhelmed and might be torn at any time.
"Who are you——?" the black-haired young man shouted at Su Ming'an.
Su Ming'an didn't answer, but just protected his black robe. Now that he was so close, Su Mingan clearly saw his past state - the black-haired young man had no dark circles under his eyes, his face was slightly red, and his mental state seemed to be very good, which was completely different from what he was more than ten days later.
The white cross light circulated around them, illuminating the faint edges and corners of Su Ming'an's face under the black gauze.
"You are really relaxed." Su Mingan said something that did not exist in the past.
"Huh?" The black-haired young man was slightly startled.
"If you continue to relax like this, you will lose all your companions. Whether they are those you cherish or those you hate." Su Mingan whispered, his voice was inaudible.
"Who are you? If you continue to riddle me, can I chop you to death?" the black-haired young man said coldly, pinching his fingers slightly -
As soon as he saw this gesture, Su Mingan immediately stepped back, followed by the sound of "tearing" the cloth. Before the black-haired young man had time to pursue him, Su Ming'an burst out at a mad dog speed close to the fifth-level Ming state, and moved several feet away, so fast that afterimages appeared.
The black-haired young man had no time to follow, so he had no choice but to give up.
He picked up the pocket watch on the ground.
A bronze pocket watch with a gold chain was engraved with a line of small words:
[Time will tell you, don’t be afraid in the dark, I love you. 】
The font is beautiful, and it should be carved by a woman. The brushstrokes are sharp, making people seem to feel her concentration and love when carving.
He stared at the pocket watch in silence, and suddenly felt extremely sad.
It was as if... something extremely sad and irreparable had happened.
…
…
Su Mingan took off his black robe and heard the task completion prompt:
"Ding dong!"
[Complete the main mission: "Ouroboros". 】
【Obtain the fourth ·Dawn password. 】
[Syllable: "Si"]
…
Su Mingan memorized the password.
In this way, he only knew the last Dawn password. According to previous hints, this last password belonged to Dong Anan.
"Call it done." Looking at the ice-white laboratory, Su Mingan said to Xi Ke: "Send me back, Akto is still waiting for me."
The pocket watch has been handed over, and the identity of the person performing the contract will be passed on indefinitely within nineteen days. The two coordinates of the Central City Laboratory have also overlapped.
Xiko appeared in front of him.
After a moment of silence, she suddenly said to him:
"PhD."
Su Mingan blinked.
"...Before I send you back, can I hug you?" Xi Ke said.
Su Mingan was slightly startled.
He suddenly remembered the conversation he had with Xiko that night at Consilidin University.
…
["I have always believed that AI has no soul. However, you and the Liming system seem to have human emotions. Liming is even afraid of being shut down." Su Mingan said: "Xiko, do you also have desires?"]
["I want to have a body." Xiko said. 】
【"Why?"】
["To hug you, Doctor."]
["But I'm not Akto." He said. 】
["It doesn't matter." Xi Ke said: "To me, it's all the same."]
…
Su Mingan looked at Xi Ke in front of her. At this time, she was looking at him quietly, waiting for his answer silently. Even if he refuses, she will probably accept it silently.
"Can you tell me why you want to hug me?" Su Mingan said. He didn't get along with Xi Ke for a long time.
"Try." Xi Ke said.
"Just trying?"
"Is it okay?" Xiko asked.
Su Mingan stood there and acquiesced.
After a moment, a warm embrace slowly embraced her. She hugged him in a controlled manner, pressing his back with her hands filled with blue light. Su Mingan did not move, accepting the hug like a wooden man.
"There is one thing that you may not know until the end." Xi Ke whispered: "I hope you won't be angry when you find out at that time."
"I will definitely be very angry." Su Mingan said honestly.
Xixia smiled and pointed her finger between his eyes:
"There is a myth that says that all sinners will be burned to death, and humans are all evil. God took pity on them, so he turned into a lamb and was tied to a wooden frame to die in the place of humans."
"From following the rules to using the rules, and then using the rules to counterattack. If the world is a game, whoever can make the most of the rules will definitely be a hundred times easier."
"At the end, I'll tell you how to not become the lamb in the world's game."
"Su Mingan."
"Human beings cannot bind you, and games cannot erase you."
