The investigation into Lord 713 continued for nearly a month.
During this period, all existing tasks that can be suspended are suspended, and all systems that can be recalled are recalled.
Taking this opportunity, Chi Xiaochi, who has no official identity, visited the entire system, quite like a new master.
At the beginning, your system is a little bit at a loss.
Some people who like to flatter the old masters and play tricks for the tigers are all silent, for fear that the "new masters" will make a big deal with their past behaviors.
Most systems, on the other hand, couldn't imagine that they had killed so many people invisibly, and they shut themselves down for a while.
The entire scumbag recycling system was engulfed in an air of self-loathing.
At this time, Chi Xiaochi's bargaining with the chief executive played a big role.
He visited everywhere, assuring those systems in self-blame that he could restore the broken world line, and if they really felt guilty, they just needed to take the new host and do the task again.
Chi Xiaochi also said that in order not to oppress them, interested systems can voluntarily submit petitions, continue to serve the system, and make up for all the mistakes they have made in the past; while those who are in a hurry to go home, just need to do enough tasks at hand, You can end the mission by yourself and return to the original world.
Both options are free and never forced.
This time, the frustrated systems gradually regained their vitality, and one by one enthusiastically handed in pledges and petitions.
By the time the chief in charge finds out that the atmosphere of public opinion in the entire system is not right, it will be too late.
- Chi Xiaochi has been invisible and has become the new leader supported by all the systems.
Now, even if the main system, which is difficult to ride a tiger, wants to not give Chi Xiaochi the powers, it is impossible.
One day, Chi Xiaochi, who officially became the new owner, received a formal resignation application submitted by 089 to the new owner while chatting with him in the room of copywriter 009 over fruit.
... He is finally leaving.
When Chi Xiaochi was about to get up and leave, he looked at the boy with the baby face opposite: "You can think about it again."
"What? Be a human." 009 blinked, "No, no, I don't need it. Here, I can go to any world and eat any kind of food."
After having master authority, Chi Xiaochi read the information of his predecessor No. 127.
127 is a child who was abandoned by his family since he was a child. He was born fond of food, and his dream was to eat all over the world. After he died unprovoked, he insisted on doing the task and went back because he was afraid that his adoptive parents would be sad.
Then, after 200 missions, he walked into the "instant", and after he came out, he became Innate System 009.
Chi Xiaochi went to investigate specially, and his adoptive parents had adopted a new child after coming out of the pain of losing a child.
Chi Xiaochi couldn't return 009's memories and expectations to him, so he could only proceed from his current thoughts and respect his personal choices as much as possible.
When stepping out of room 009, Chi Xiaochi sighed slightly.
Lou Ying, who was beside him, touched his hair.
Almost all "innate systems" have lost the motivation and goal of returning to their own world, and in the long period of time, the people who once made them desperately want to go back have gradually scattered and have their own lives.
… they will never go back.
However, Chi Xiaochi didn't immerse himself in his personal emotions for too long, and he still had business to do.
089 is within "a few moments".
Without the huge mastermind, "Between Minutes" is much more refreshing. A jellyfish-like world line floats around several people, dragging a long tail of light, as if they were in the Langyuan under the sea.
Chi Xiaochi smiled: "I really wish you could stay and help us."
089 waved his hand slyly: "I have discussed this matter with him. As long as you give me and him ten years of freedom, then he and I will come back."
Chi Xiaochi said cheerfully, "Okay, how do you pay the salary?"
089 smiled and said: "His eyes are not good. When the time comes, please give him a pair of eyes. As for me, it is a free gift."
It's time to send.
089 chose to return to his own world.
Seeing that the teleporting door of light gradually unfolded, Chi Xiaochi felt a little emotional.
Fortunately, the progress of his last world is fast enough, otherwise, this door will only disassemble 089 into a pile of unrecognizable blank data, and in the main space, there will only be an additional "New Innate System" that is mechanically responsible for lottery. ".
But 089 was not in a hurry to leave.
He turned around and walked to the closed door "in the blink of an eye", knocked on the door, and greeted, "23, I'm leaving."
Since the old master stepped down, "A Moment" is no longer a closed and silent can.
But there was no sound from outside, as if the person he was talking to didn't exist.
089 didn't care, lightly pressed his forehead against the door, and whispered with a smile to the person who didn't know if he existed: "Don't be uncomfortable. I like you."
It was still quiet outside, but a soft sniffling could be heard faintly.
089 said: "I'm leaving. I'll wait for you to come back in our new home."
When 089 was about to turn around, 023 suddenly knocked on the door vigorously.
dong dong dong, dong dong dong.
089 smiled and did not open the door, but walked directly to the door of light.
When passing by Chi Xiaochi, Chi Xiaochi asked him, "Don't you open the door?"
"If he really wants to open the door, he will shout." 089 said, "This frequency is our code. His office is too big, and sometimes he doesn't bother to get up and walk around, so we use knocking to convey what we want to say."
He pointed behind him, and the affection is a tenderness that is rarely seen in the normal state of wandering: "... Three knocks in one group means that I will be here soon."
In the sound of 023's knock on the door, 089 stepped into the door of light, and disappeared without a trace.
And the general system's judgment on the Lord is gradually coming to an end.
All the crimes he was charged with were established, and he was originally going to be brought back to the main system for destruction.
But Chi Xiaochi sent a letter to the main system, and he heard back the next day, allowing him to handle the main system with full authority.
So, the next day, Chi Xiaochi took the old master to the entropy pool inside the system.
The entropy pool is a closed place that is not open to any system below the master.
Since the first day it was formed, even Lord 713 has not set foot here even a single step.
By the pool, the main man who had turned into a human form early and lost his strength had messy hair, his face was as pale as a ghost, and his eyes were crimson.
Chi Xiaochi ignored his expression of wanting to kill himself and then said, "Did anyone tell you? I plan to use this pool of entropy value to make up for the mistakes you made earlier."
The Lord sneered, not believing Chi Xiaochi's words.
He didn't believe that Chi Xiaochi would be willing to use the entropy pool that was about to be filled to do such a useless thing.
Chi Xiaochi didn't deny him either, just stared at him quietly.
With the passage of time, the pale face of the Lord turned into a piece of paper.
He was both startled and horrified: "Are you crazy?! This is my entropy, mine!"
Chi Xiaochi said, "Correct, it's mine now. I can use it however I want."
For the stingy miser, it is more painful than cutting flesh and bloodletting to take away his treasures that he has treasured for many years and use them for a cause that he thinks has no value at all.
Ignoring the Lord's almost frenzied curses and insults, Chi Xiaochi walked around the pool a few steps.
The boundless entropy pool was filled four-fifths, and the lead-grey soft substance inside was like a cloud rolling like water, like a huge pot of boiling water.
Among the invisible clouds, the outline of a struggling and roaring face faintly emerged.
Chi Xiaochi dipped his index finger into the pool as if testing the water temperature.
A sharp roar sounded in his ear instantly, the volume was enough to pierce a normal person's ear to bleed.
Fortunately, Chi Xiaochi has enough patience.
He closed his eyes slightly and whispered something to the force that was crawling up around his arms, wanting to pull him into the pool to drown.
Strangely, the screaming and crying soul became quiet a little bit, and the python-like cloud gradually loosened from Chi Xiaochi's arm.
Shaking off the little gray cloud that was still lingering on his fingertips, Chi Xiaochi got up and gave orders to several systems that escorted the old master.
"Lock up 713 and immerse it in the entropy pool."
"You dare!" The Lord's eyes widened, but he could only show a haggard bluff, "Why are you?!"
"As I need." Chi Xiaochi went around behind him, "until this pool is empty, you will be the only source of entropy."
The heavily shackled old master didn't even have time to say a word before being kicked out of the entropy pool by Chi Xiaochi.
The old master, surrounded by the negative emotions of human beings, as soon as he entered the entropy pool, he only felt that his limbs and bones were burned by sulfuric acid, but he only had time to let out a harsh scream, and was pressed into by a human-shaped cloud hand. into the tumbling entropy.
No one could imagine what this pool of despairing souls would do to this culprit.
Several master systems, who had already received orders from the peak, pulled the chains on the old master's body, burned the chains to the edge of the pool, and locked him firmly in the pool.
Chi Xiaochi looked at the floating and screaming heads in the sea of clouds, and said, "You better hope that I will quickly end the mess you left behind. Otherwise, if you have one more grievance, you will suffer a little more."
When he wiped his hands and walked out of the entropy pool, Chi Xiaochi found a person outside the door.
Chi Xiaochi recognized him.
He is the exclusive AI of the old master 713, a tall and thin young man who looks a little dull.
He was created and promoted by the old master.
I don't know why, when the Lord was interrogated, he said that ai just acted according to his instructions and did nothing wrong. Therefore, after deliberation, the general system decided not to hold the system accountable.
… This AI can be said to be the only trace of goodwill left in the infinite sea of evil thoughts of the old master.
As soon as Chi Xiaochi came out, he automatically followed Chi Xiaochi.
Lou Ying on the side frowned slightly, intentionally protecting Chi Xiaochi's side.
Chi Xiaochi was not very afraid of him: "Are you here, are you looking for me or him?"
ai replied: "Looking for you, and looking for him."
After going back and forth, Chi Xiaochi already understood his intention: "The general system has stopped holding you accountable. Where you go is your choice. Are you sure you want to enter here?"
"I don't know where to go except here, the master." The ai of the master looked at the place where the entropy pool was, his eyes were clear, "...that's it."
Chi Xiaochi didn't say a word, but a system from the main system talked a lot and persuaded him, "Why bother."
ai said: "I am the rib of the master. The rib will not betray the master."
Chi Xiaochi stared at him: "Okay, then you can go."
The door that had just closed was reopened, and a figure walked in slowly, blending into the mist and the vague screams of the old master.
The rule of the old master has thus drawn a complete end.
What followed was a long and boring year and five months.
Chi Xiaochi sorted out all the world lines that needed to be restored, and instructed the system how to assist the host in completing the mission. If there were any difficult world lines that could not be handled, you could report back to "In a Moment" and ask for the solution.
At the same time, he issued a new order to open the system's self-recognition system and limited intimacy ability to send. Any system with related needs can come to him to go through the ability opening procedures, but the number of openings is limited to two times. Applicants are advised to be cautious.
Despite this, Chi Xiaochi is still too busy to have sex and life.
Only at night, when the busyness is suspended, will Chi Xiaochi have time to stay in Lou Ying's arms for a while, recharge, or hold his hand and talk.
After more than a year, the new order running in the main space finally entered the right track.
So, Chi Xiaochi filed a leave of absence.
According to Chi Xiaochi's original agreement with the main system, it was time for Chi Xiaochi to take a vacation, return to this world, and retrieve his real body.
When the refined body slowly fell back to the hospital bed and submerged into the weak body that had been sleeping for more than four years, Chi Xiaochi exhausted all his strength, but only enough to move a finger.
Fortunately, he is patient enough.
The first thing to recover is hearing, the sound is a little hazy, like the outside sound heard by a person holding his breath immersed in the water through the swaying water.
The TV in the ward was on, and an awards ceremony seemed to be going on.
"Next is the most exciting time. Who will be the best actor. Please open the envelope..."
Chi Xiaochi frowned.
He couldn't hear the sound on the TV very clearly, and he didn't know who would be watching TV in his ward.
Before he could sort out his thoughts, the sound of good news came from the TV.
"Congratulations Chi Song!"
"Congratulations to the "Deferred Graduation" crew for winning the best screenwriter, best film and best actor tonight!"
"Chi Song's performance of the rural teacher in "Deferred Graduation" is delicate and moving, which has moved countless audiences..."
Slowly, the voice became clear, and a soul immersed in the water gradually surfaced, breathing the first breath of fresh, dizzying air.
Light poured in, shadows poured in, and the figure sitting beside the hospital bed also showed a specific appearance.
…lucas.
Lucas was still dressed as usual, his hair was a little long, and it was dyed in grandma's gray. In addition, the bright lights in the single ward made his white face even more radiant.
He leaned against the armrest of the hospital bed, cut a small piece of pear from the pear and put it in his mouth, watching the awards ceremony on TV.
"Did you see it?" Luca chewed the pear and spoke vaguely to the person on the bed, "The newcomer comes out with a wave like a leek, and your previous wave is about to be beaten to death on the beach by future generations."
The man on the bed, as he did every time he visited, was motionless, silent, not responding to any of his words.
Lucas couldn't help being a little discouraged, and regardless of the pear juice on his hands, he slapped him on the edge of the quilt: "The surname is Chi, do you hear me? If you hear it, fight a little bit, hurry up..."
While speaking, Lucas turned his head.
What caught his eyes were Chi Xiaochi's squinting eyes and the gentle light flashing in his eyes.
Chi Xiaochi opened his mouth, his throat was dry, and his vocal cords looked like rusted clockwork.
It stands to reason that he should not be able to say a word.
However, the power of the Lord was still enough for him to make this unreasonable adjustment.
Facing Lucas whose mouth was opening and closing, Chi Xiaochi said with a smile, and said with difficulty: "When did I... not give you the best of luck?"
The pear in Lucas's hand rolled to the ground.
