Chapter 145 It’s Just a Dream

Tu Lei gently rubbed the metal box and said calmly, "Boss Lu, we in Sun City particularly respect your master. That master is the true hero of our human race."

"I'll tell the truth."

As he spoke, Toure turned his attention to the two people in front of the coffee table.

"Sun City and the Bureau of Fortune have never cooperated. There are many reasons for this, which I will not go into."

"The problem now is that we want the Bureau of Creation's audio suppression technology, and the Bureau of Creation wants our artificial crystal core technology, but we are both afraid that the other party will monopolize the technology."

"So, we asked you, Boss Lu, to be our witness."

"Make sure both parties get what they want."

"As long as you nod, Boss Lu, this cooperation will be considered a success."

"Once the experiment yields results, Niu Jiashun and the surviving Niujia Village people can become human again."

"I wonder what you think, Boss Lu?"

That's it?

Is my face already so great?

Lu Changsheng was a little surprised.

To him, neither Toure nor Charlene, whom he had just met, was a close friendship.

Unexpectedly, these two people actually recognized the ghost snake.

Lu Changsheng's original intention was not to get involved in the affairs of Sun City and the Bureau of Creation, but when he thought of Er Gouzi's eyes when he participated in the experiment, he still hesitated.

The tea table fell silent for a moment.

The conflict between Sun City and the Bureau of Fortune, what does it mean to bring me in?

Why are you putting so much effort into this disciple who is obviously not recognized by the system?

Isn't this just causing trouble for yourself...

You can't use mall coins for free, and you can't do tasks to exchange skills, so why don't you just ignore it.

Anyway, the Kraken won't go crazy, and maybe he can continue to live like this normally in the future.

Wouldn't that be nice...

Otherwise, pretend not to know about this?

Tu Lei and Charlene both waited quietly for Lu Changsheng's reply.

It wasn't until the tea was slightly cold that Lu Changsheng let out a long sigh.

"If Niu Jiashun can really return to adulthood, I can be your witness."

"If someone violates the agreement in the future, you can come to me to prove it."

After all, Lu Changsheng still couldn't ignore his apprentice.

Even this apprentice has never called him "Master".

Tu Lei nodded slightly, gently closed the metal box lid, and simply pushed it in front of Charlene.

"I will personally send the specific drawings and data to the Bureau of Creation."

Charlene took the metal box and said, "I will prepare all the information to suppress the audio and hand it over to you when the time comes."

This transaction, which would change the fate of countless people, was witnessed by Lu Changsheng.

It was settled in a few words.

Neither Tu Lei nor Xia Lin ever doubted what Lu Changsheng said.

It was as if the guarantee he casually said was more effective than any contract or agreement in the world.

Even Lu Changsheng himself didn't notice it.

Unknowingly, he has gone from a shopkeeper in a remote town to a big shot who can influence the direction of the world...

...

In the largest amusement park in Sun City.

In front of the roller coaster.

"Jia'er, are you really not going to play?" Hongye asked with some pity.

"Well, Sister Hongye, you can play with Ergouzi. I'm a little tired. I'll wait for you below." Gu Jia's voice was indeed a little tired.

"Okay then, Ergouzi, let's go. You are too timid. I will help you build up your courage today." Hongye said, carrying Ergouzi with one hand and getting on the front row of the roller coaster.

Er Gouzi struggled and cast a look at his senior sister asking for help.

But he found that the senior sister had disappeared without knowing it.

As the roller coaster slowly climbed up the slope, Er Gouzi's soul seemed to have left his body.

Gu Jia sat down on a bench in the amusement park. The boy next to him was wearing a black peaked cap, covering his conspicuous silver hair, and he was half-leaning on the back of the chair, as if he was asleep.

"I told you, I'm different from you." Gu Jia said coldly, looking at the roller coaster spinning rapidly in the sky.

Zhou Ce raised his head slightly, the sun shining through the brim of his hat onto his face, but he couldn't see his expression clearly.

It seems that he always has half of his face, hidden in the darkness.

"I used to be like you, thinking that I was different." Zhou Ce spoke very slowly, as if he was immersed in memories.

"I have always felt that I am a human being, not a monster."

"That sound was just because I was too tired and had hallucinations."

"Until my Lord's command crosses the sky, crosses the mountains, crosses countless main cities, and comes to me."

"With my own hands..."

"Wring my parents' heads off."

Just as he was talking, Zhou Ce seemed to have remembered some joke, and his body trembled slightly.

He smiled softly and said quietly, "That day is my birthday."

"Their blood spilled on the cake and didn't put out the candles."

"Can you believe it? The blood spurted to the roof, actually..."

"Didn't put out the candle..."

"How ridiculous..."

Gu Jia's fists clenched tighter and tighter, and all the blood in her body seemed to be concentrated in her chest, making it impossible for her to breathe.

It was like a big earthquake had occurred in her body, and her internal organs were like gears with wrong teeth.

She tried her best to turn it, but it was so stuck that it hurt her.

"Your memory must have become confused, right?"

"Often forgetting what just happened, or even forgetting the entire day."

"Don't resist, this is a good thing for you."

"Forget your own identity, forget all the past, those are just..."

"A big dream."

Zhou Ce slowly stood up and lowered the brim of his hat again, letting the shadow completely cover his entire face.

"If you really can't do it, just leave."

"Go far away, where they can't find you."

"Otherwise the first task our Lord gives you..."

"It will be to twist your father's head off!"

"This is..."

"'Our' destiny."

After Zhou Ce finished speaking, he left without looking back.

During the whole process, he didn't even look at Gu Jia.

"He is not my father..." Gu Jia murmured, tears in his eyes sliding down his cheeks and falling on the back of his hands.

The hot tears seemed to want to burn through her body, but only a few shallow tears were left behind.

"He is my master!"

Gu Jia lowered her head and shouted out the voice in her heart.

It attracted countless glances from passers-by.

In the busy playground, a girl cried helplessly.

The cheerful voice covered up the small sadness.

People were playing, fighting, and enjoying rare happiness.

No one cares about what a girl who has nothing to do with him is sad about.

until...

"Jia'er, what's wrong with you?"

A familiar voice dragged Gu Jia back from the black and white world.

She slowly raised her head and gently wiped her red and swollen eyes with the back of her hand.

Lu Changsheng touched Gu Jia's forehead and confirmed that there was no fever. Then he asked softly, "Jia'er, are you feeling unwell?"

"Let's go..."

"Master will take you home."

Gu Jia once again confirmed that the figure in front of him was not his hallucination.

She saw a light.

Just like back then...

Warmth shines.
