After successfully opening the disk, the chief supervisor of the monitoring system spent half a minute combing through all the contents before turning the disk into data and sending it directly back to the headquarters.
He politely thanked him, then got up, intending to stop the conversation: "Thank you for your cooperation."
Chi Xiaochi raised his hand, flung the ring off his little finger, threw it into the air, and grabbed it in the palm of his hand.
He asked, "What do you plan to do with those world lines that have been destroyed?"
The person in charge put his hands on the table: "This is what we should do, so don't bother Mr. Laochi."
Chi Xiaochi: "This is also what I should do. Don't forget, it is my wish to be the Lord."
The person in charge was startled, but he was more surprised than Chi Xiaochi: "Your wish... is it serious?"
Chi Xiaochi raised his eyebrows.
"Please don't misunderstand. Because this is a huge mess..." The other party sat down again, but his attitude was a little less businesslike. "Just based on the information we have collected so far, let alone completely restore the proper order, It will take at least a year to sort out all the world lines that have gone wrong."
He paused: "With all due respect, I'm afraid you don't understand this huge workload. We are also considering you. We don't want you to consume too much energy for our internal affairs after you have experienced danger. If you If necessary, I will apply upwards, so that you can return to the original world as soon as possible… ”
"You don't care if I understand it or not." Chi Xiaochi said, "I just ask one question: Do you have any plans to restore the world line and contract that were destroyed by the Lord?"
"Wanting to restore is a very..." The general manager said in a tactful manner, "difficult. We have checked all the backup contracts. Although there are word games, we have to say, whether it is the host or the original owner. , all signed a contract voluntarily.”
"The basis of our system's existence is 'entropy'." The general manager explained in as simple as possible, "Entropy is the only source of our energy, which is the negative emotions of human beings. From this point of view, we and human beings are Symbiotic. We seek cooperation with humans, such as you, such as 061, to serve the system in exchange for a chance to live again, which is also one of the ways we symbiotic with humans.”
"The slag attack recovery system, in our earliest version of the plan, is just a small system."
"According to our original plan for the scum attack system, we are only responsible for resurrecting the original owner from the time of death, charging 1,000 remorse points from the task object, plus the task object's personal emotions during the rebirth process, and receiving of external emotions, and eventually earn 2,000 entropy points.”
"However, 713, the current owner of the scum attack system, submitted a report to the supervisory agency after working for a few years, saying that the system should be reformed and the timeline should be reversed to any time so that the original owner could take revenge better."
"At first, we rejected the proposal because at least 10,000 points of entropy are required for each reversal of the timeline."
"713 insisted on this and submitted reports over and over again, and we let it run the new system in-house for a period of time. Unexpectedly, its performance far exceeded any other system."
Speaking of this, the general manager commented objectively: "I have to say that it is very good in terms of meeting the specified indicators."
-Use word games to deceive the host and the original owner; deliberately choose a host with serious personality defects; add a "favorability value" bar to confuse the host and entice the host to sink into the drama; do not explain to the host that the original owner's soul still exists in the body, In the end, the entropy value is collected from the host, the original owner, the target of the strategy, and the system, which is of course excellent.
Chi Xiaochi pondered, digesting the known information.
Lou Ying asked on his behalf, "Does it do any good in the end?"
"As the knowledge increases, the systems will also generate their own wishes." said the general manager, "in each system, there is an 'entropy' pool. When the pool is full, the Lord's mission will end, and we will Make a reasonable wish for the Lord."
"wish?"
"Become a higher-level system master, or gain freedom, become a person, and end the long immortality. After all, as a system, I have experienced everything, and the only thing I have not experienced is death."
"Then its wish is—"
"We've already asked it." The general manager shrugged, "It said that it just wants to stay here, and doesn't want to go anywhere, and make it the highest-level, highest-spec system."
Lou Ying laughed and laughed.
There is no very noble reason, all scourges originate only because of the "greed" of a system master.
The person in charge turned back to Chi Xiaochi, who had not said a word since just now: "The reason why we were able to sign a contract with the original owner is because the original owner had 'entropy' in his body when he died, and we captured the fine body that was about to be dispersed. Only by establishing a contractual relationship with them can they have the possibility of resurrection. But when the original owner dies completely, the fine body has completely disappeared, so it is almost impossible to go back."
"Thank you for your rigorous answer." Chi Xiaochi said, "You used 'almost', which means there is still a way."
The general manager did not answer directly.
"The power of 'entropy' can go back to the time line. Naturally, it can also go back to the time when the original owners just signed the contract. However, you did not intend to do so." Chi Xiaochi said, "It can be understood that after systematic precise calculation , resurrecting all the original owners who have been victimized is a very small business."
The general manager smiled slightly, neither affirming nor denying.
Chi Xiaochi will never forget that although these real innate systems have human appearances and human expressions, their quality is a pile of data.
The pursuit of data is a beautiful and cold optimal solution.
The general manager said: "Mr. Chi, we are very grateful to you for letting us discover such a major bug. That's why I told you so much to let you know how big a quagmire you are going to jump in. Now , you can say your wish."
Chi Xiaochi leaned back: "This master, I've made it."
The person in charge showed a puzzled look: "Mr. Chi, I thought you were a very shrewd person."
Chi Xiaochi said, "I'm never shrewd."
If he is smart enough, Chi Xiaochi will not wait for a person who can't come back, nor will he embark on a completely different life path for a person who can't come back.
Whatever he wants, he always does.
"To your system, everything is just business. To do business, reputation is the most important thing, isn't it?"
In business affairs, Chi Xiaochi didn't play any emotional cards, and said directly: "If after a vicious accident, you just replaced another innate system to call the shots, no matter the bad debts that happened in the past, do you think other leaders should take it as a warning Is there a high possibility that the 713 master’s cheating experience is stolen and used for himself? The so-called symbiotic relationship is about equal exchange. If the account cannot be settled, there is no equivalent. The secrets of the innate system's spread, and guess what, will the system riot?"
The person in charge finally changed color and stood up suddenly: "How do you know about the 'innate system'—"
Chi Xiaochi smiled: "Don't worry about how I know."
"Instead of letting go of me who knew the secret and letting another new master know about it, or causing a riot in the system, it's better to let this secret rot with me." Chi Xiaochi said, "I will hide it. This secret will give these 'innate systems' the best possible ending, and I will help you settle this account, using all the entropy accumulated in the outgoing master's 'entropy' pool, as well as the entropy that will be earned , to replace these victims with a new life. How?"
The person in charge looked at him: "Mr. Chi, you are really a weirdo. In my database, I have never seen a person willing to jump into a fire pit."
"As you said." Chi Xiaochi said, "The Lord's wish is to become a more advanced Lord, or to die as a human being. I have already died, and I don't mind living a good life."
The original simple submission of evidence turned into a long conversation of nearly an hour.
When walking out of the hut, Lou Ying asked Chi Xiaochi: "What's the secret of the 'Xiantian system'?"
Chi Xiaochi didn't answer, looking at the corner of the space.
He had been there last time and knew that there was 009's dormitory in that direction.
The memory data belonging to these "innate systems" have collapsed, just like Lou Ying's mission memory for more than ten years, which has been broken into pieces and vanished into smoke.
Chi Xiaochi couldn't control others, but he only didn't want Lou Ying to have too much psychological burden, so he patted his chest with a smile: "It's rotten here."
Lou Ying put his hand on it, touched it gently, and was about to speak when a crisp whistle came from the side.
089 leaned against the dormitory door of 023.
Lou Ying: "Why are you here?"
089 touched the tip of his nose: "I just said goodbye to them, and 23 is still crying. Now I can't leave for the time being. He is thin-skinned and doesn't want to stay with me, so he drove me out..."
The door of the dormitory suddenly made a muffled sound from the inside, and then came the shouting of 023 urn: "Who is crying!"
089 smiled and raised his eyebrows at the two, signaling the end of this topic.
Chi Xiaochi had no intention of telling him that 089 was almost wiped out of his memory by the Lord.
He is willing to make everything simple, especially feelings.
He didn't want to add a layer of kindness to the friendship, which would inevitably add to the superfluous.
So he changed the topic along 089: "I heard Brother Lou say that when you went to work for Brother Lou last time, you did a private matter?"
"The new master is here to check the post." 089 joked, "Yes, it's done."
Chi Xiaochi has heard the general thing from Lou Ying: "I know, you can convince yourself to believe in such a strange and chaotic thing, but I can't imagine how you would convince 023 to make him believe that he will be in a certain year. Something happened to the moon?"
089 said: "I don't like to persuade people. But I will protect him."
Chi Xiaochi: "So confident?"
089 looked back at the window and saw 023 who was secretly looking out. He smiled softly: "Because it's me."
…
at the same time.
Ji Feihong was dragging the suitcase in his left hand and holding the note that the young student named "Lou Ying" left him two months ago in his right hand, walking down the red brick path in Eastern Europe.
The twilight of Sihe caught his shadow, and he was looking for the residents of No.
In the distance, on the bench next to the destination, he saw a white-haired young man in a hat, wearing headphones, looking like an elf, slightly closing his eyes, breathing fresh air.
Ji Feihong thought about it, and had a hunch that this was the person he was looking for.
As written on the note, at six o'clock in the evening, when the sun was not so strong, he would come out of the house and sit on the bench outside.
No wonder the other party said that as long as he saw Zhuang Changting, he could be recognized at a glance.
The eyesight of young people is indeed not very good.
When Ji Feihong stopped in front of him, he raised his head, thinking that it was a tourist who wanted to ask for directions, and estranged and clumsily issued a eviction order: "Hello, I don't know the way, you can ask someone else for the way."
"Ai. Hello." Ji Feihong squatted down and found that the young man's face was very tender, and he didn't look older than himself at all, "Is your surname Zhuang?"
This clear and upright voice should not belong to a bad person, but the white-haired young man can still be alert: "You know me?"
"You can get to know each other from today." Ji Feihong smiled with his eyes bent, "I'm a newcomer from this street, and I'm your neighbor."
After sorting out the affairs in the orphanage and basically mastering the Ukrainian language, Ji Feihong asked his father for a year of relaxation.
Father Ji is well aware of his son's temperament. No matter how rich the family is, he is still a master of whatever he wants. It is not uncommon to have to repair tires and sell insurance one day.
This time he is willing to go abroad, whether it is as he said, to learn the advanced experience of foreign nurseries, or simply want to relax, Ji's father will go with him.
"Neighbors?" Zhuang Changting was very vigilant, "How do you know my name?"
"Listen to what others have said." Ji Feihong replied fluently, "There is a 'child from the moon' on the 66th, called Zhuang Changting."
Zhuang Changting thought happily, he was not a good person.
The person across from him reported his family name: "Hello, my name is Ji Feihong, and I am also Chinese."
He has a quick mouth and a cheerful voice. He quickly introduced his family background and the purpose of coming to Ukraine, and talked about his hobbies and hobbies. One of them was "love to play games", but Zhuang Changting's ears perked up sharply.
Zhuang Changting thought again, it's a bit silly talker.
After a long self-introduction, Ji Feihong said briskly, "I didn't expect the neighbor to be of Chinese descent. It's really nice. Speaking Chinese is really more comfortable than speaking Ukrainian. I want to be a friend with you, how about it?"
Zhuang Changting rarely talks to people face to face, and looks cold. In fact, his hand is tightly gripping the armrest of the bench, so as to suppress the nervousness in his heart: "I don't usually come out often."
Ji Feihong is very thick-skinned: "Then can I come to your house often to find you?"
Zhuang Changting had never had a friend, and the corners of his mouth were taut and silent, a little longing and a little bit resistant in his heart.
After a long silence, Zhuang Changting said indifferently, "Whatever you want."
… As soon as the words were out of his mouth, he regretted it.
He rarely speaks, so he has no control over his own tone of voice.
Why do you have this attitude? !
He thought, yes.
But before the frustration came over, the person on the opposite side let out a chuckle: "Then it's settled. I'll come to you later when I'm free."
Zhuang Changting didn't dare to take Qiao too much now, for fear that he would go back on it, he said "um" very quickly.
Ji Feihong looked at his face seriously.
His original plan was to become his friend for a year, and then naturally bring him out of the doom of death.
To save a life, it is worth a year for Ji Feihong to pay for it.
But after seeing the people of Zhuang Changting, some thoughts slowly changed unconsciously.
There are other things that have also changed unknowingly.
Chi Xiaochi, who belongs to the same world line as Ji Feihong and Zhuang Changting, was so embarrassed that he was admitted to the high school where Lou Ying was studying, and then he was admitted to the same university.
They were playing down that involuntary time by coincidence, and when they met, they were as close as they were in the past.
The two did not want to be ungrateful.
On the one hand, they knew that the past should not be revealed, on the other hand, they had experienced the strange feelings between another Chi Xiaochi and Lou Ying.
...the two of them in another world, they seem to be lovers.
For Chi Xiaochi and Lou Ying, who were still teenagers, this was something they had only heard of but never touched in their lives.
When he couldn't sleep at night, Chi Xiaochi put the quilt together and thought, how could the two men be together. Will it be comfortable to hold, and is it different from a girl when kissing
He just thought about it, after all, he had been with Lou Ying since he was a child, and he had never been in contact with girls, so there was no way to compare.
But when this idea came up, his heart was itchy, as if a thread had grown out of his heart for no reason, and it was swayingly connected to the apex of the person downstairs.
Thanks to another Chi Xiaochi, Chi Xiaochi has a wider world.
He found basketball to be very interesting, he found that going to school every day was not torture, and he found that Tong Zhuo, who used to be at the same table in junior high school, even got into a different class in the same high school with him.
It's just that in the last life, he didn't have the heart to dig out these exciting beauties.
On the first day of high school, Tong Zhuo grabbed him and sighed, "Damn, why is it you again?"
Chi Xiaochi hooked his shoulders and said, "How wonderful. If you leave get out of class early, you can go to the cafeteria to occupy a seat for me; if I leave get out of class early, how about I go to occupy a seat?"
Tong Zhuo thought for a while: "Aiqing is right, I don't blame you for always following me."
But soon after, Tong Zhuo lamented that he was too fucking careless in making friends.
... Class B will always end earlier than Class A. Moreover, Chi Xiaochi will eat and play one portion each time for Brother Lou, who is in his third year of high school.
Tong Zhuo complained: "Lou Ge Lou Ge, you know your Lou Ge. You are such a young daughter-in-law, marry him."
Chi Xiaochi smashed him with his schoolbag, but thought of another Chi Xiaochi.
That day, he hugged himself and went to the public bathroom in the tube building to wash his hair.
"Are you disappointed to see the other you when you grow up?" Another long-haired Chi Xiaochi lowered his head, brushing his slightly longer hair by his ear, and said, "As long as you don't look like me in the future, I'm thankful."
At that time, Chi Xiaochi couldn't speak, but he answered in his heart:
-I really want to become another you, someone who can protect the people you care about the most.
Thinking of this, Chi Xiaochi suddenly became enlightened, and felt that his inexplicable heart palpitations were all because of that obsession.
He wants to protect Brother Lou.
He didn't know what Lou Ying was thinking.
Chi Xiaochi was willing to give up his body in order to bring Lou Ying back to life. As for Lou Ying, he was clearly living a good life. It must be quite unpleasant.
But when Chi Xiaochi was alone with him and asked about it, Lou Ying said, "No, I am very grateful to that person."
Chi Xiaochi was relieved.
He was quite afraid that Lou Yingji would hate the object of their benefactor: "That's right. They are kind, and they didn't mean to steal your body on purpose."
"Well." Lou Ying smiled warmly, lowered his head and wrote a few lines, then turned his head to call him, "Xiaochi."
Chi Xiaochi is studying a big physics problem related to acceleration: "Huh?"
Lou Ying asked, "Do you think that Lou is better, or this Lou?"
Chi Xiaochi smiled and said, "It's all good."
But he thought to himself, that brother Lou is fine, but this brother Lou is by my side.
It was too strange to say, and he just thought about it in his heart, and the strange thread began to entangle his heart again, making him a little breathless.
Lou Ying made another "um" and continued to write the question, but the corners of his lips twitched in annoyance for a moment.
Lou Yinglai could be directly recommended to the university, but he wanted to take the test once, and the final result was unexpectedly impressive.
He went to other places and often sent text messages to Chi Xiaochi to talk about his current situation.
Once, Chi Xiaochi sent him a text message, but he didn't reply for a long time. He called after an hour, slightly out of breath.
Lou Ying apologized: "I'm sorry, I was practicing boxing just now."
Chi Xiaochi became sensitive: "Why are you practicing boxing. Did anyone bully you at school?"
Lou Ying paused: "No. I suddenly want to learn a little more."
Chi Xiaochi breathed a sigh of relief.
Since Lou Ying's incident, Chi Xiaochi has always been allergic to similar things: "don't scare me."
"I don't want to scare you." Lou Ying's voice softened, "If you're worried about me, come in early and look at me."
So Chi Xiaochi was soon admitted to his school with a high score.
On the day of the report, when taking a bus to the west train in a nearby city, Chi Xiaochi was carrying his luggage and bumped into Tong Zhuo, who was also carrying a suitcase.
The two were speechless.
Tong Zhuo: "Beijing?"
Chi Xiaochi: "Beijing."
Tong Zhuo: "The drive in half an hour?"
Chi Xiaochi: "Well, that trip."
Tong Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief, put a hand on his shoulder, and laughed heartily: "Let's go."
Lou Ying, who returned to school from the summer vacation early because he was doing errands for his tutor, picked him up in the car.
Chi Xiaochi threw himself into Lou Ying's arms and smiled coquettishly: "Senior!"
Tong Zhuo smacked his lips, thinking that good-looking people are really popular, change their appearance, and then change the object, the picture of a person more than 1.8 meters high in his arms must not bear to look directly.
Lou Ying picked him up and rubbed his forehead gently: "Have you eaten on the train? Are you hungry?"
There just happened to be good news today, Lou Ying's postgraduate research should be a certainty, and Chi Xiaochi came to the school to report again, so after reporting and placing the luggage, Chi Xiaochi wanted to celebrate and get to know Lou Ying by the way. friend.
Celebrate and celebrate, but Chi Xiaochi still overestimated his alcohol intake.
He is different from the other Chi Xiaochi. The one who has been in the entertainment industry for many years has learned how to drink alcohol. Under Lou Ying's close care, this one has no chance of getting addicted to smoking.
Chi Xiaochi was carried back to his dormitory by Lou Ying.
In my junior year, there are not many classmates who are still living in the dormitory seriously. Most of them go out to rent a room with their girlfriends. There is only one resident roommate of Lou Ying. Afraid of staying overnight.
Lou Ying moved Chi Xiaochi to his bed, took out the washbasin, and was about to go to the hot water room to make hot water for him to wipe his face, but before closing the door, he heard a muffled sound from the room.
Lou Ying was in a hurry, and opened the door again, and saw Chi Xiaochi, who had been drunk for five or three times, rolled to the ground wrapped in a quilt.
Lou Ying hugged his waist tightly and hugged him horizontally: "You."
The boy blushed and hooked his neck: "Lou brother, Lou brother."
Lou Ying's drinking capacity is not bad, but he was a little dizzy by the smell of alcohol coming from his face, and patiently responded to the little drunkard's words: "Huh?"
Chi Xiaochi tore off the quilt, pointed to his heart, and said, "I'm not comfortable."
Lou Ying heard him say that he was uncomfortable, and his heart pounded: "Why are you uncomfortable? I'll take you to the school doctor's office... "
"It's like it's tied with a cable." Chi Xiaochi murmured, "It's like this when you think of Brother Lou. Is this normal?"
Lou Ying was stunned, his heart tensed up bit by bit.
He didn't know if he had misunderstood what Chi Xiaochi meant.
"That Lou Ying likes that Chi Xiaochi, that's right.... That Chi Xiaochi is so good." Chi Xiaochi said to himself, "... But, will my brother Lou like me?"
The next morning, Chi Xiaochi was lying on Lou Ying's bed filled with the scent of lemon, with a look of unrequited love.
he thought, calf.
It was not until three poles in the sun that Lou Ying came back with breakfast and helped Chi Xiaochi up from the bed.
Chi Xiaochi drank the bean curd brain, just looking forward to Lou Ying's thoughtfulness as always, don't ask anything.
However, when he put down the bowl, Lou Ying asked him, "Do you remember what you said yesterday?"
The teenager who remembered everything retracted into the quilt and tried to deny: "I'm broken."
Lou Ying lifted the quilt, looked at Chi Xiaochi for a moment, leaned down, and gently kissed his lips.
"Do you remember?" Lou Ying's voice was shaking, and her cheeks were slightly red, "If you don't remember, I can give you another reminder."
What Chi Xiaochi didn't know was that Lou Ying was even more grateful to those two people than Chi Xiaochi.
If it weren't for them, Lou Ying would have taken more years to recognize his feelings.
- He likes the boy who grew up under his care.
Since he was 18 years old, when he realized that he was about to be unable to see Chi Xiaochi all the time, he realized that his feelings were not right.
Fortunately, it turned out that he was never wishful thinking.
