Chapter 759 Dilemma

Xia Fan couldn't help rubbing his forehead. Even if the escape tower stopped running, humans could continue to reproduce, but once the protective circle failed, the situation would be completely different.

He suddenly thought of another question, "What about when this world was first established? It's impossible to pull a group of people from the earth as fuel, right?"

"This is the disadvantage of the word soul." Sikong chuckled, "Except for fusion life forms like you, once a person dies, he is dead. The condensed qi does not mean that the person's consciousness still exists. Even the escape committee will not use secondary life forms as fuel, let alone natural people. Your problem is actually very simple, that is, the fusion life form acts as a guide, just like the qi sensor drives the magic weapon."

"Like me?" Xia Fan was slightly stunned.

"You are far from meeting the requirements." Thought Control replied, "Just as the power of Chaos Entities is far stronger than that of Small Evil Spirits, the closer the consciousness is to the human boundary, the more Qi it can transform. But this kind of fusion can easily cross the boundary and become another kind of existence, so you'd better not try to take this step easily."

"But you also said that I will become that kind of monster sooner or later..."

"Because it is unrealistic to expect humans to restrain their curiosity, and before that, I still hope you can think more about this world."

Xia Fan looked at Thought Control with a look of surprise on his face.

The latter raised his eyebrows slightly strangely, "What's wrong, is there something strange on my face?"

"I didn't expect you to care about this world." He sighed, "I thought you wouldn't care about anything except completing the instructions given by the controller."

"..." Thought Control rarely took up the conversation immediately.

The logical partition failed to provide the correct answer in the first time.

What's going on?

She searched the database and found no damage or missing. Could this part of the logical barrier come from the escape tower? After all, the multifunctional doll has a limited volume, and she can only carry a very limited part of the data.

But this is not a problem for the best control system.

She quickly reorganized an answer, "I'm not concerned about the world, but once you cross the border, I can only return to a silent state - this does not conform to the original intention of the escape tower: to serve mankind."

"Really..." Xia Fan did not delve into it. He noticed that there were some wet marks on the lower half of the other's hair and shoulders, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Where were you when it rained last night?"

"On the tree tower."

"Why didn't you go home?"

After returning to Jinxia City, he also arranged a residence for Sikong, which was in the new residential area.

"There is no fault, so there is no reason to go back for repairs." Sikong said.

"You won't stand here all night... until we arrive in the morning?" Xia Fan frowned.

"This saves energy. I don't need to sleep or eat, and interrupting the system operation is harmful." She said indifferently, "Besides, the multifunctional doll has good waterproof and moisture-proof functions. Even if it is soaked in water, the body can remain dry for a long time."

But it doesn't look like a real person. Xia Fan thought.

Although it doesn't make much sense to dwell on this, he doesn't want to see the other person standing alone in the rain.

"How about this, if the project is not busy, you can help me take care of Miss Luo." He thought for a while and said, "She has lost most of her eyesight, which is quite inconvenient in her daily life, especially when listening, reading and writing. If you are here, I think her situation will be much better."

Of course, this is an excuse.

Luo Qingqing doesn't need anyone to take care of her. At the same time, she is a very delicate girl. In addition, she usually lives with Luo Youer. With these two people watching Sikong, she shouldn't stand alone in the rainy night again.

"I will do it." Sikong simply nodded, "If this is your request."

...

In a secluded house in the XC area of ​​Jinxia City.

Zhou Sheng put the last bottle of wine to his mouth and poured it for a long time, but not a drop of wine flowed out.

He threw the bottle on the ground angrily, "No more wine."

No one answered around.

He suddenly raised his voice and said, "I said there is no more wine, didn't you hear it!?"

There was still no response in the room.

He half-closed his eyes and looked around the room. Wherever he looked, it was a mess. Apart from him, there was no one else.

Yes, yesterday the last servant couldn't stand his scolding and left the Zhou Mansion with his luggage. Now he was the only one left in the whole house.

Of course, this was also that person's fault! How dare servants leave before? Without redeeming the contract of sale, they would be beaten and caught sooner or later when they walked out of the door. Even if they were lynched to death, no one could say no. But it doesn't work now... What prohibition of human trafficking and restriction of personal freedom as a felony have made these servants bolder. With the support of the government, they can run away as they please!

Don't think about who will compensate for the losses of the rich family!

Forget it, go buy some wine by yourself...

Zhou Sheng stood up swayingly, took out the purse from his waist, and poured it into his palm. Only a few pieces of silver fell into his palm.

Seeing this, he felt a surge of anger.

When had the Zhou family ever been so embarrassed?

His family was not rich, but at least they lived a good life. It was not until he accepted Fei Nian's dispatch and returned to Jinxia City to serve the Privy Council that his family's financial situation took a sharp turn for the worse. At that time, he not only had to arrange accommodation for the spies, but also had to pay for their unreasonable expenses. Even when the food and rations were not distributed on time, the Zhou family had to pay in advance! After squandering for so many months, not only were there few savings left, but the Ten States Alliance was also defeated. The previously promised top three position has become a joke!

He could not imagine that such a big court actually lost to Jinxia City.

From then on, Zhou Sheng fell into despair.

He thought that the princess's people would come to his door soon and put him in jail, but he did not expect that the Bureau of Affairs did not launch a large-scale search after the war. The remaining spies completely disappeared from his sight, and he did not know whether those people fled far away or joined the princess.

However, such a life is definitely not a good one.

The shadow of arrest always loomed over his head. Every time someone knocked on the door of the house, Zhou Sheng would feel frightened. It's not that he had never thought about just leaving, but that would mean that he had given up the task assigned to him by the court, and even the last chance of a comeback would no longer exist.

He sent his whole family to Liuzhou, which was already a life-threatening act. If he also escaped from Jinxia in disgrace, what would be left for the Zhou family?

Could it be that he, a dignified Jinshi, would have to beg for a living in his next life! ?

This was a path that Zhou Sheng, a great scholar, absolutely did not want to choose.

Just as he stumbled into the yard, the door of the house was suddenly pushed open and a man walked in.
