Frost and Pei Qing were facing each other. After being exposed to the Internet of the Interstellar Age and absorbing a large amount of knowledge, he could easily see shock, as expected, worry, and a trace of hidden anxiety from the subtle changes in the opponent's facial muscles. .
But more than that—joy.
After this person was trapped in a secret room by his enemies and had nowhere to escape, the strongest emotion was joy
"Hahahahahahahahaha..." Pei Qing laughed suddenly, until the air in his lungs was almost emptied, and he was almost unable to stand still.
He looked at Frost: "Noah Pei left you a way to leave, right?"
Frost was silent.
Pei Qing also doesn't need his answer, the situation has already explained the problem, Noah Pei did leave an exit for Frost, and Frost can come and go in the world of reality and zero Freely.
Pei Qing's tone was gentle, but there was paranoia and madness hidden inside. He raised his wrist, revealing his modified personal terminal on it: "Let me see how good Noah Pei's works are!"
In the next moment, Pei Qing's fingertips began to jump wildly on the terminal, and he issued a line of instructions.
Frost suddenly felt that his data was being attacked, and countless aggressive programs frantically rushed towards him. Either he cut off the data connection with this room, or he had to defeat the attack from Pei Qing.
The two sides faced each other silently. There was no gunpowder smoke or shadows of swords and swords in the air, but a fierce fight was going on.
Cold sweat gradually broke out on Pei Qing's forehead, and the cold sweat dripped from the corner of his forehead as he moved, and then fell on his clothes and fainted into a small dark spot.
Frost also closed his eyes, and fully responded to the attack from Pei Qing.
The two sides are performing calculations that exceed the limits of human beings, and every second is countless confrontations.
Pei Qing is indeed a well-known genius in this era. With such a cyber attack, even the secrets of the Interstellar Federation can be broken by him, but...
fail.
fail.
Still a failure...
Pei Qing felt as if he was facing a high gray wall. Behind the wall was a treasure trove full of secrets, but there was no place to climb on the wall.
Every attack of his is as transparent in front of the opponent, and it can always be accurately cracked, without even a little effort.
Finally, Pei Qing stopped moving.
As a person surrounded by the halo of genius since childhood, Pei Qing experienced the feeling of powerlessness and despair for the first time.
Frost: "Before I came to you, I studied all your codes, all your research results, and all your habits."
He covered his face and let out a maniacal laugh: "Hahahahaha... Is this the work of Noah Pei... Hahaha... as difficult as the mastermind... Everyone said that Noah Pei's last work was zero... But , it should be you, right?"
Frost's tone was as usual: "In terms of time, I was indeed born later than Zero's mastermind."
Pei Qing's eyes were still full of unwillingness: "What treasure did Noah Pei leave for you! He must have hidden enough trump cards to change the world. What are you going to do now? Change human history?"
Frost looked at him, and a trace of pity suddenly appeared in his eyes: "No, there is no treasure, nothing."
Pei Qing roared: "How is that possible! He entered zero once before he died, so he went to see you at that time, right? The duration will be 46 minutes and 32 seconds, and you still want to deny it?!"
Frost: "..."
The figure of Frost on the screen suddenly disappeared and turned into a video. The picture in the video showed Hessen, whom Pei Qing was very familiar with, and Frost, who was sitting alone in a daze under the tree.
An old and weak figure suddenly appeared out of thin air.
It was Noah Pei. Frost was used to his different appearance from ordinary people, so he didn't express any surprise.
But at this time, Noah Peihe had changed a lot when he first came to see Frost. His whole life seemed to be exhausted. He lost the image of the handsome old gentleman, and his back was no longer the same. He straightened up, and his eyes lost their luster.
After Gu Shenxue passed away, Noah Pei's physical condition declined rapidly. At this time, he was already a hundred years old. Even if people at that time used the most advanced medical methods, they could not restore his rapidly disappearing vitality.
Noah Pei was almost too weak to stand, so he could only lean on the tree and sit down with difficulty under the support of Frost.
Frost looked at him worriedly: "What's wrong with you?"
Noah Pei sighed: “I’m going to die.”
"I won't be able to see you anymore, just like Miyuki." Frost read the subtle difference from this sentence, which seems to be different from the death that can be resurrected by the Athanasi , but—farewell.
Noah Pei nodded: "Yes..."
He looked at his own child with cloudy eyes. This is the child created by him and Gu Shenxue. It has an appearance that combines the advantages of the two. This is a very good child, very gentle, very smart, clean and clear.
But at this time, Noah Pei suddenly felt a little panic. Shouldn't they have brought Frost into this world? Frost's friend has been missing for ten years, and Miyuki is no longer there. Now, it's his turn. After all the people who cared about Frost have left, how can he live alone
He babbled a lot with Frost, as if he wanted to pass on all his life experiences to this child who was about to lose his asylum. About being a human being, the rules of life, the details of life... anyone can feel his reluctance and helplessness towards destiny.
Suddenly, Noah Pei stopped narrating and laughed at himself: "Ahem, there are some things that you will never experience if you haven't experienced them yourself. I'm too impatient..."
"Ahem..." Noah Pei coughed a few times before continuing: "I left a way out for you... under... this tree, only you can go out, if you feel like you are in this world If you feel lonely, you can go outside and have a look... "
"I have prepared a body for you to move about in the outside world, where you may meet more friends... cough cough... Of course it is more dangerous..."
Frost: "Will you and Miyuki be there?"
Noah Pei shook his head: "Not anymore, she has gone to a farther place, and I... will follow her."
"Where's Xiaoqi?" Frost asked again.
Noah Pei: "He's... very strange. I tried to find him for you, but... ahem... he seemed to disappear out of thin air... I can't find him anywhere."
Frost said stubbornly: "Then I won't go out, I'll wait for him here, maybe one day he will show up?"
There was a smile on Noah Pei's face, a little helpless, a little conniving and pampering: "It's okay... You don't need to make a decision now, time will make you grow... Just go when you want to leave."
He raised his arm with great effort, touched the top of Frost's head lightly, and finally said: "Ahem...enjoy your own life, happiness is the most important thing, and there is nothing wrong with being ordinary..."
Sometimes a father's expectations for his children are as simple as that.
He doesn't need to be the strongest or the smartest, as long as he is with the person he likes and lives a peaceful and happy life. It's just that there are too many unsatisfactory things in life, and the more you experience, the harder it is for such a simple wish to come true.
Even though everyone regards him as the most shining genius, Noah Pei's last wish is just as simple as that.
It's a pity that the good wishes finally came to naught under the greed of the people.
"Goodbye, Ash..."
Noah Pei's body disappeared in place.
The picture disappeared, and the image of Frost appeared on the screen again.
The absurdity and shock in Pei Qing's eyes couldn't be concealed at all: "Ordinary? Enjoying life??!! The greatest genius of mankind actually wants his last work to be an ordinary person!!"
Pei Qing violently overturned all kinds of expensive decorations at hand, with a ferocious expression: "He can obviously create the ultimate weapon that can change the course of history, what can an ordinary person do with it? The world is full of people, what is there to create?" of!!!"
It turned out that there was no treasure at all.
After so many years, what they were looking for did not exist at all... He spent nearly half his life, and it was meaningless at all!
Andre, Pei Rongan, Pei Jia, Pei Qing... They are like a group of monkeys fishing for the moon, trying their best to face the phantom.
A kind of anger that was fooled by Noah Pei came to his heart, making it difficult for him to keep rational.
"Hahahahahahahahaha—" Pei Qing laughed loudly, smashing everything in the room like an angry beast.
Until everything around him was smashed to pieces, Pei Qing lay on the ground as if struggling, looking at Frost who was still calm on the screen.
Pei Qing: "Are you proud? I'm about to lose everything, and you'll be able to enjoy your freedom right away?"
Frost didn't answer. Whether in the past or in the past, he was not a person who was good at arguing with others. Generally, the person who made fun of this situation was Xiao Qi, and he usually won a big victory.
Thinking of Xiaoqi, a smile appeared on the corner of Frost's mouth, with a hint of satisfaction and expectation.
"Hahahahahahahahaha... I won't die in your hands..." Pei Qing laughed, reached out and pulled out the necklace around his neck, then opened the necklace and pressed one of the buttons.
"Boom——"
Immediately, the entire Red Nack's base was ablaze with explosions.
In the sea of flames, Pei Qing was still laughing wildly. He knew that according to the enmity between the Pei family and Frost, it was impossible to expect Frost to let him go in Noah Pei's face, but he would never allow himself to be killed so simply.
It was his last pride to die by his own hands and make the biggest noise.
The fall of a genius should be splendid.
In a basement, the silver-haired man opened his eyes,
This man has the same appearance as Frost, except that his skin is no longer so pale, and it also has the warmth of a living person. This is the body that Noah Pei made for him in the last days, and it condenses all the talents of this genius. All my painstaking efforts, just to let my children live freely in the new world.
This body was made hundreds of years ago, so naturally there will be no self-destruct procedures that are common today, nor will there be many restrictions imposed later.
Frost: "I didn't say I would kill you..."
He just blocked Hongnake's base and called the police.
According to the laws of the Interstellar Federation, Pei Qing is suspected of illegal organ trafficking, private establishment of armed organizations, robbery, murder and many other crimes. He anonymously handed over the coordinates of the planet and all the information about Hongnake to the department in charge of related matters.
After Andre's death, Frost's memory seal has been released, and many past memories have come back.
This is what Noah Pei once told him. If he wants to live well in the outside world, he must be familiar with the law and not touch the border. Breaking the law may allow you to reap huge benefits in a short period of time, but such benefits are temporary, as long as you fail once, you will have nothing.
He still wanted to find Xiao Qi, and wanted to be with Xiao Qi for a long time, so he browsed through all the legal provisions and kept them well.
Before pulling the data away, he took the time to eliminate everything about himself from Pei Qing, and he didn't worry about the risk of being exposed.
Frost stood up: "Now, it's time to find Xiaoqi."
The ruins of Rednack's base.
The fire is still burning, but the spaceship above is spraying fire extinguishing agent, and the fire will be brought under control in a short time.
Hongnake is a ferocious star thief group, and this time it is not ordinary star police, but a military warship with powerful firepower. They were all ready to fight to the death with Hongnak, but they didn't expect to see a sea of fire at Hongnak's base when they came here, and finally they only needed to do a little fire fighting.
The person in the lead had a face that Xiao Zhi would find familiar. This was the young man among his three neighbors who had dinner all day—an outsider. His real name is Ericson, and he is the youngest major general of the Star Federation.
The Federation has been focusing on tracking down Red Nack. Not only is it human smuggling, Red Nack is also involved in a huge source of unknown funds, and is even involved with some members of the Federation. It has promoted the AI Restriction Act, the Masterless Destroyer, and many other AI technologies that are difficult to achieve. development regulations.
Eriksson checked the report: "Has the identity of the informant been found out?"
The subordinate said: "No, the source of the news is very secret, and all traces have been cleaned up."
Eriksson chuckled: "You are a master, have you found the members of Hongnake?"
Subordinate: "Not yet. The explosion happened very suddenly. Judging from the traces, no one had time to hide in the bunker."
Suddenly someone reported: "Admiral, several survivors were found in the dungeon, all of whom were passengers on the passenger ship attacked by Hongnake."
Erickson: "Check your identity and escort to a nearby planet."
The person handed over a piece of information: "There are two people here who have no identity. They claim to be a11 and a12. They are the output of the artificial breeding program. This time they also used illegal means to board a passenger ship."
Eriksson took the information: "It's interesting, there are still people engaged in artificial breeding programs in this age, first bring them with you, and then register after confirming that they are correct."
Enselheim galaxy, star 12.
Xiao Zhi was lying on the bed in a daze. He searched the game and almost searched Hessen, but he couldn't find Frost. If he hadn't received Andre's kill prompt, he would have thought It was Andre who secretly got away and took the man away.
Frost was not found, Xiao Zhi was not in the mood to continue playing the game, and declined all kinds of fancy rainbow farts from the players to stay, Xiao Zhi went offline without attending the celebration banquet.
Xiao Zhi turned over: "Where can A Sen go?"
Could it be that he was buried in the pit when he was angry? No, Asen didn't know that he did it, although a little investigation can draw the correct conclusion...
However, Asen is definitely not such a stingy person. He used to trick Asen into jumping over the pit, but Asen was not angry.
Suddenly, the lights in the room went out, Xiao Zhi was startled: "Power outage?"
No, it seems that the energy source in the interstellar era is no longer electricity. It makes no sense that it will be as fragile as the power grid in the earth era. I have never heard that a school of this level will cut off energy.
"0724, turn on the backup energy source." Xiao Zhi said.
The room was quiet, and the AI housekeeper connected to the backup energy source did not respond at all.
Xiao Zhi frowned: "What's the situation?"
While he was thinking, the door of the room opened suddenly, and it was pitch black outside. There are no satellites near Star 12, and naturally there will be no bright moon in the sky. There are only a few stars dotting the night sky, but they are not enough for lighting, and the night is extremely dark.
Vaguely, Xiao Zhi seemed to see something flashing by and entered the room.
Xiao Zhi was so frightened that he was about to throw the fireball, but at the critical moment, he heard a familiar voice: "Xiaoqi."
"A Sen?" Xiao Zhi was taken aback, suspecting that he had played too many games and had hallucinations, or that he had fallen asleep just now and was just dreaming now.
How could Asen come to reality
Immediately after the door was closed, the lights in the room returned to normal, and everything around was still the same as before, except that there was an extra person beside the bed.
It was still the familiar handsome face, and the dazzling silver hair.
It's just that Frost is wearing a black trench coat of this year's interstellar style, which ranks first in the list of "How to Wear Online Dating". It is said that the success rate of people wearing this dress is as high as 87.23%.
Before Xiao Zhi could speak, he was hugged tightly into a warm embrace. The fabric of the windbreaker is soft, and the hair that brushes the cheeks is a little itchy, a little provocative, and has a sense of reality that cannot be ignored.
Frost's deep voice rang in his ears: "This is the first time I've really hugged you, Xiaoqi."
Xiao Zhi smiled, and reached out to hug Frost back. This was the first time he hugged Frost who was warm. It lacks the bitter woody fragrance from Hesse, and has more human breath.
Xiao Zhi asked, "How did you get out?"
Frost explained to him about Noah Pei, about his own memory, and the entanglement with Pei's family.
Xiao Zhi listened quietly, and gently stroked Frost's hair. Fortunately, he traveled through six hundred years and could meet Frost again. I don’t know if he will age and die with the game body, but in this age of immortality technology, it is not enough to live for a long time. It's not difficult anymore.
If there really is an afterlife, Noah Pei and Gu Shenxue should be relieved.
Amidst the tenderness, Frost suddenly asked: "Xiaoqi, when will we get married?"
Xiao Zhi: "!"
What is the turning point
Perhaps it was because his stiffness was too obvious, Frost let go of the hug, and looked into Xiao Zhi's eyes seriously: "Didn't you propose to me before? And I also agreed."
Xiao Zhi was at a loss, wondering if he had traveled to a parallel dimension: "When?"
Frost: "I know that in human culture, giving a ring means a marriage proposal. You gave me a total of 712 rings, which means you have proposed 712 times."
Xiao Zhi: "..."
A large number of pictures suddenly popped up from the corners of his memory. For a while, he was very interested in jewelry making. When he was free, he made a few rings to practice his hands, because the rings needed less materials, which was very suitable for poor novices at that time. player.
It is a pity that he embarked on the road of chopping cubs and became a player addicted to fighting. The path of jewelry making master died prematurely.
What happened to those practice rings
like…
He gave them all to Asen as toys! At that time, Asen seemed a little hesitant to accept the gift. He originally thought that Asen didn't like it very much and was too embarrassed to refuse it. Was he considering whether to accept his marriage proposal? ?
Still more than seven hundred times! ! !
He can be sure that he has never taught Asen this cold knowledge of human beings. Could it be that Noah Pei taught it? !
"!!!" Xiao Zhi's eyes widened, if he told the truth, would Asen turn his face on the spot...
Frost pressed Xiao Zhi's shoulder, and said in a serious and cautious tone, "Do you want to go back on your word?"
Xiao Zhi met those translucent platinum-gold eyes, and couldn't explain what he was saying. Although he felt it was sudden, thinking about it carefully, he didn't seem to have the intention to refuse.
It seemed like this, and it was pretty good, if he wasn't with this person, he couldn't imagine who else he could walk with in his future life.
The corners of Xiao Zhi's mouth curled up.
"What day do you like?"
"today."
"Today's marriage registration time has expired, right?"
"I can hack the marriage registration system and add us."
"...By the way, do you have an identity? Black households are not allowed to marry."
"I'll hack the identity system right away."
"Abiding by the law as promised!"
