"They are all small things that can be accomplished by snapping your fingers," He Qin added humbly at the right time. "After tonight, when the sun rises the next day, your words will become reality. They are not worth mentioning."
Wen Zheliu clenched the box and turned around: "That's it. For the sake of you being able to hand it over to me so neatly in the end, I wish my uncle can keep his current position after getting a promotion and salary increase... After all, if you make a little more money every month, it should be a little easier to pay off your debts, right?"
He didn't want to look at their faces anymore. He pulled He Qin and walked out of the door quickly, and locked Wen Qian's shouting at the top of his lungs behind him.
"Quick!" He took a deep breath and put on the mask again, "We still have a takeaway to save the world, so we can't wait too long!"
"Copy that," He Qin got on the motorcycle, "Then hug my waist and let's go now!"
In the laboratory, He Huaizhou looked at the velvet box in front of him with a solemn expression. Only four of him, Adide and He Qinwen Zheliu were allowed to enter the huge space. He said softly: "Zheliu, please open it."
Wen Zheliu held down her heart that was beating wildly due to nervousness, pressed her fingers on it, and whispered in a low voice: "Open... open?"
There was a slight tingling in the center of his finger, as if he had been electrocuted by something. There was silence for three seconds, and the small box that seemed to only be able to hold a ring or pendant suddenly cracked.
… That’s right, it’s cracked. It was completely different from Liu Jianzhang's reaction when he opened it. A sharp silvery white was revealed under the cracked lid, like a blade that had finally taken off its harmless disguise. A lively and laughing voice flowed out:
"Identity authentication has been completed."
Another male voice followed closely:
"Welcome, son."
Hearing that Zheliu's breathing was stagnant, he froze.
The transformation of the container has not stopped. The soft velvet case has cracked like a cicada. The silver alloy is decomposed and reconstructed in an orderly manner, flowing out smoothly and symmetrically, like the birth of a star. The light waves ripple and shine, holding up the container. The creation in the shape of a white crane rises upward.
"Happy eighteenth birthday!"
"You are finally an adult! You are an adult!"
The light of rebirth in the entire universe could not be more gentle than at this moment. Wen Zheliu's hair was fluttering upward in the light, and He Huaizhou's expression was sad and nostalgic at the same time.
He Qin just looked at Wen Zheliu intently and moved his lips slightly.
Wen Zheliu's voice trembled: "Dad...Mom..."
"As an eighteenth birthday present, we have been thinking about it for a long time. Should we leave this to you..."
"After all, this is really... such a heavy gift."
The voices of Wen Shu and Liu Huaimeng were high and low, like the hazy twilight shrouding the earth. Wen Zheliu almost greedily listened to the last few words they left to him. Liu Huaimeng's tone was so gentle, as if he was murmuring to a swaddled baby. Whisper: "I'm sorry, it's my eighteenth birthday, but I have to let you hear these things."
"Liu Liu won't blame her parents, right? Well, to be honest... Saving the world is indeed not a good job, but someone has to do it. Just like No. 3 in the office may not like to eat garbage every day, but the mission of the trash can is this, It doesn’t want to, and it can’t help it… Oops!”
"You are crazy. You are talking to your son about this. You are the trash can and your whole family is the trash can. Get out of here!"
"My family is your family, our families are one family...Okay, I'll get out right away!"
Wen Zheliu couldn't laugh at all during such a joyful conversation, and tears dripped down his cheeks. How could it be strange? I have been separated from you for eleven years...
"Back to business, son." Liu Huaimeng's voice became solemn, "I don't know if you know the inside story about the Holy Body Project now, but whether you know it or not, the people from n-star should be here now - until you are eighteen Until you are able to open it, the thing we leave you will continue to emit shielding signals and hide your identity with the highest key. Because it is of great importance, we only hope that you will have an undisturbed and safe childhood. .”
"You opened it, which means that the restrictions are lifted at the same time." Wen Shu's voice intervened, "But don't worry, son, just follow them. If one of the people who comes to you is named He Qin, then Even better, remember to call me brother."
He Qin's eyebrows raised slightly, and a smile flashed in his eyes.
"The Holy Body Project has been planned for a long time, and our decision is a last resort," Liu Huaimeng continued. "Once the plan is put into use, it will definitely be the beginning of human extinction. Abandon the body, abandon common sense and nature, and abandon thousands of people." The iron law of evolution for thousands of years... How could any race be willing to put themselves in the storms and floods that destroy the world?"
"Eternal life is a flashy lie, son," Wen Shu's voice became serious at the same time. "What it conceals is the truth that people cannot bear. The core of the Holy Body Project is the liberation of the mind, and the decay of the body, in order to achieve transcendence. The eternal life of reincarnation - However, if human beings abandon their bodies without any precautions and rely only on their souls to wander in a virtual world that never reaches the boundary, it is tantamount to pushing a fragile river lamp into a stormy sea. It's just a matter of a blink of an eye. We have to stop it, stop them, son."
"Now, it is the evening when the completion rate of the Eucharist Plan has reached 95.68%, and the sunset is beautiful..."
"…forgive us."
Wen Zheliu sheds tears, and sees the glow of the stars beginning to shrink, and every line of He Yu's lines is filled with the brilliance of life.
"This is... the most important legacy we leave to you."
"Just as the core of n-star is the City of Novas, the only item in the world that reaches SSSS level and determines the starting point of everything, n-star's R&D base also has its core."
He Huaizhou and Adide listened silently.
"—Its name is Eternal Time City."
"Go back in time and go back to before the error occurred. This is the role of Time City. We divide it into twenty pieces. Here are ten pieces. If nothing else happens, you can get the first one on your fifteenth birthday. "
"We will take away the remaining nine fragments. These last nine fragments will become attached viruses and invade the central data link of the Holy Body Project. Even if we have made up our minds to eliminate the Holy Body Project from the real world, But the possibility of its resurgence in the virtual world cannot be ruled out.”
"The one you are holding is like a fire, son. If everything goes well, it may never find a way to activate it in this life. On the other hand, if it senses the remaining nine fragments - it senses a comeback. The Holy Body Plan, the nine fragments will gather towards you, and the eternal time city will be reborn in your hands again, waiting to return to the moment when the mistake occurred, and then follow your instructions... to eliminate that mistake."
Wen Zheliu was startled: "...what?"
"I wish you good luck, son! Although saving the world sounds cool, your mother and I still hope that you can be an ordinary and happy person and live an ordinary and happy life."
There were faint urging voices in the background. Some people smiled and said that they would leave soon if they didn't hurry up. Some people smiled and said that they would save the unnecessary words for later. If they were lucky, they might be able to make it in time for breakfast... It seemed that they were not carrying The thunderstorm decorations that were enough to destroy a city were filled with picnic baskets. The place they were going to was not the enemy's base camp, but a sunny spring.
"Okay! Time has passed long enough, so let's do it... let's do it! Goodbye, son!"
All the sounds were quiet, only the ten chips were emitting dazzling light, and Wen Zheliu couldn't even find a way to save their traces.
"... The Holy Sister is a relic of the Eucharistic Project?" he asked softly, "Is that so?"
Adide was silent for a while and whispered: "Yes."
"At the very beginning of the Uncanny Valley research and development, the remnants of Muspelheim were among the R&D staff," said He Huaizhou, who avoided He Rui's name. "The Holy Body Project was reborn under the cover of a shell and had its own thoughts and personality. , this is something that no one expected, and by the time we discovered it, it was already too late... "
Hearing that Zheliu didn't speak, He Qin held his hand gently, which seemed to give him a new kind of courage. He wiped the tears on his face carelessly, "It doesn't matter, let's go now! After returning to the Uncanny Valley , I can get the eternal time city, go back to the moment when everything happened, and return to the moment before everything started. Saving the world is not fun, but someone must do it."
"Open the passage to the Uncanny Valley and Nova City." He Qin said, "Success or failure depends on this one, of course we need a bigger gambling table."

Adide took a deep look at them. He took off the brooch he had pinned on. He Huaizhou took off his glasses and pushed out the lens of his left eye with a little force of his thumb.
"First Executive Officer," Adide said.
"As well as the second executive officer's authority key, they are all here." He Huaizhou said, "Plus your identity plate, it is enough to open the blockade of the Uncanny Valley in Nova City, without the consent of the entire House of Lords."
"Go." Adeide said, "Take the last ten fragments. The future of n-star and the world is on you, so don't feel heavy."
"Ah," He Qin took the two things, "Isn't this very light? It's lighter than the old man's old vest hanging out on the balcony."
"...That's not such a frivolous method! What nonsense are you talking about!"
Du Zijun leaned against the wall and closed his eyes to rest. Xie Yuanyuan looked at him in the changing blue light and whispered: "They left like this..."
Du Zijun didn't open his eyes, but just snorted: "Why, do you still want to see me off at the age of eighteen?"
"No! What I mean is..." Xie Yuanyuan frowned a little worriedly, "I'm very nervous. I always feel... Brother He is gone, and there is something that I can't hold back."
His intuition was always very accurate. Du Zijun frowned: "Is there anything else that cannot be suppressed..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a heavy crash on the horizon, like the movement of the earth cracking. Du Zijun suddenly opened his eyes and flew to the floor-to-ceiling window. He saw that the portal that had been tightly closed was actually opened at this moment!
A torrential blue light came out of the door, and the gap between heaven and earth slowly widened, just like God opening its eyeballs. All the players cheered, "You can go home!" They rushed to run, making this exciting moment The news spread instantly to every corner of the transfer station.
"What?!" Xie Yuanyuan's eyes widened, "Yes... the road to Nova City has opened, so fast!"
The crack in the door was still widening. Du Zijun frowned and stared at it. He opened his mouth: "... That's not right."
"well?"
"No!" he roared angrily, looking at the crowd of people who couldn't control themselves and rushed towards the portal, "A bunch of fucking idiots, that's not the way home, that's the way to death! Come back!"
Humans are creatures that follow the herd. Once the momentum of the charge is started, there is no possibility of stopping. The sudden opening of the door also caught many backbones of the group by surprise. They only had time to comfort the members of the group and at the same time vent their feelings. The flow of people going out has formed a sharp triangle.
"Close the gate of the transfer station!" Li Rong yelled, "Don't let anyone out again! The advance team will stop the players who rush out!"
The command center was in a mess. Glaciers piled up on the plains, and mountains and rocks emerged one after another, blocking the flow of people running fast. As a result, the forward speed was indeed much slower, but the players in the van were still rolling forward by inertia, and they were about to roll forward. When they arrived at the portal, the blue light suddenly spurted out with the momentum of swallowing up the world, flooding the transfer station like a tsunami!
"Sister!" Xie Yuanyuan shouted.
Scarborough Market was getting ready to go, when Du Zijun suddenly heard a deep laughter amidst the earth-shaking noise.
"Humans... hello."
Xie Yuanyuan said in horror: "This voice sounds so familiar! It seems like I have heard it somewhere before!"
"You may have heard of my name, heard of our names, but you always have no chance to meet," the man continued to speak. In the monstrous sea of light, the players' vision was completely deprived. They could not see anything and could only Acting by intuition, "But it doesn't matter, the gears of the world are still turning to this moment... Who can understand the true meaning of Ragnarok?"
Du Zijun's voice was hoarse: "... He Rui."
Xie Yuanyuan was shocked: "What? He's not dead?!"
"My time has come!" He Rui's laughter spread throughout the world. This laugh was indulgent and full of malice, with chaotic ecstasy. It was almost not like a sound that a human could make, but more like the howl of a dragon, " Some people—life comes after they die!”
Du Zijun looked extremely ugly and had already guessed what he meant.
"No wonder we keep sending people here to die." His understanding of the other world is not as deep as He Qin's, but he still knows a few things. "In the end, it is just to make a comeback from the other world at the last moment. …”
"What should we do now?!" Xie Yuanyuan was a little panicked, "Brother He is not here, he is the only one who can fight with this man, right? We haven't started yet and we have lost two of our generals. So what? Fight?"
What a coincidence, all of this is full of deliberate coincidences. He Qin had just left with Wen Zheliu, and He Rui seemed to have learned about it in advance. He immediately resurrected from the other world and launched an attack on the players who stayed here... Du Zijun's expression was solemn, he closed his eyes tightly, and the witch's double spears burned the endless magic circle.
"Twilight of the Gods..." he hissed, "He wants to achieve an ending of total annihilation. His target is all players, and now, no one can stop him."
