  Chapter 802 Chapter 801 · “Su Ming’an Digging a Pit to Bury Himself (Part 2

  Seeing this, Xi couldn’t help but say, “You’re really calm.”

   “The wounds you have already suffered, just watch yourself suffer again.” Su Mingan said, “Okay, I’ll go talk to the people in the Garden of Eden.”

   “You can’t be cruel to others, but you can be so cruel to yourself.” Xi Ke said.

   “After all, it wasn’t me who got hurt.” Su Mingan didn’t care. If he could expose himself, he even wanted to pinch the face of his past self and tell him to cherish the person in front of him.

  He pushed open the door of the living room and discussed with Eden executive Mollett Snow.

   “Now Kaskinen’s assassination of Akto failed. If Akto is released safely, he will be full of vigilance in the future.” In the conference room, Su Mingan and Mollett faced each other:

   “Mollett, if you want to kill Actor, tonight is your last chance. Tonight’s dinner must be done to him, before his vigilance is fully raised, so that he has nowhere to escape.”

  The white-haired old man Mollett squinted his eyes, was silent for a moment, and suddenly smiled: “Are you really a master of the central city? I didn’t expect that the central city would not be able to accommodate Actor.”

“This is the way it is in the times. In the past, when Actor gave you a piece of bread, you would be grateful to him. But once he can’t meet your needs, you will start to blame him.” There was a touch of sarcasm in Su Mingan’s voice : “Since you think Aktod is unworthy, go ahead and kill him. The flame of justice in your hearts is really stronger than any flame.”

   Mollett felt a little harsh when he heard it, but he didn’t refute it.

   “You are wearing a black robe, you don’t even show your face, but you can stir up the situation in the dark, and push Akto into a desperate situation little by little. Snow is really curious about your real identity.” Mollett laughed.

   “Leave me alone, aren’t you with Actor now?” Su Mingan reminded seeing that Mollett was still talking nonsense to him.

   “He is changing his coat in the lounge, I can go back later.” Mollett said, “There is surveillance here, do you want to see it?”

   “There is monitoring when changing coats. Eden’s behavior is too perverted.” Although Su Mingan said so, he still took Mollett’s personal terminal in his hand.

  In the monitoring screen, the black-haired young man is arranging the golden buttons on his chest. The young man’s sitting posture is relaxed, even his expression is very relaxed. At this time, “Su Ming’an” rested in the central city laboratory for three days, and was still in a state of ignorance, especially ignorant of the dangers of the ruined world.

  From Su Mingan’s perspective, this monitoring should be installed in the mirror.

  The wheelchair youth finished arranging his clothes and looked into the mirror, as if he was looking into his own eyes.

   “Asa Actor…” the young man murmured to himself, his eyes drooping slightly, and a slight sadness welled up between his brows and eyes. He reached out and touched the mirror. In his opinion, he was just touching his own eyes in the mirror. But from the perspective of Su Mingan who was under surveillance, it seemed that he was touching him through time and space.

   “…” Su Mingan was also watching the black-haired youth. He is very familiar with this expression, it is the expression he will show when he encounters a problem.

  What was I thinking at that time? Thinking about how to smoothly adjust the eight-type personality? Still wondering how to have a good year?

  The black-haired youth faced the mirror, but suddenly straightened up. Su Mingan almost thought that the young man had discovered the surveillance in the mirror, but the young man just looked around vigilantly.

  …

  【Su Mingan looked into the mirror and stared into his own eyes, as if he had fallen into a bottomless pool. This made him feel a strange feeling rising from his back, as if what was reflected in his eyes was not himself. 】

  【He straightened up abruptly and looked away. He always felt that another person was silently watching him. This weird sense of peeping made him feel uncontrollable discomfort. 】

  …

   “Su Mingan from the past” failed to find out who was watching him, so he put on his coat and left the lounge.

  Mollett arranged a murderous dinner party for “Su Mingan in the past” according to Su Mingan’s guidance.

  In the evening, “Su Ming’an in the past” sent a distress signal to Central City.

  Su Mingan was standing on the side of the street when he received this distress signal.

“Mollett’s dinner party is over, and it seems that he is almost cornered.” Su Ming’an pondered for a moment and said, “Xike, immediately set off a red alert, let the whole city hunt him down, and lure him to the ruined building and Dawn System Negotiations.”

“According to your arrangement, you are really cruel to yourself.” Xi Ke said: “In this case, I will go to appease him for a while. After all, my split body is still on his wrist, so it is not good for him to suspect me Let’s just say-‘I will live and die with him’.”

  The next moment, **** warning lights lit up from all over the city-state:

   “—Dawn system, now issue the highest red order.”

  ”—Any force or individual who successfully captures Asa Actor can be allowed to enter the central city.”

  …

  【”Xike, don’t you have anything to say?” Su Mingan said. 】

  【He just sent a distress signal to Central City, and now he has received a red alert for the whole city. Could it be that there is something wrong with Xi Ke? 】

  【”Central City wants to kill you only because the dawn system discovered your intention.” Xi Ke blinked: “I am your personal AI, Doctor. I will live and die with you.”]

  …

  Su Mingan listened to the voice of the red alert, took a bite of the roasted sweet potato he had just bought, turned around, and swept past the panicked crowd, as if a drop of ink had melted into the water, and his black robe was hidden in the dark alleyway.

  He vaguely heard the voice of pedestrians:

   “I’ll just say it! There must be something wrong with Actor, and now the Dawn system thinks he’s unqualified!”

   “Punishment! He must be punished like those sinners!”

  Su Mingan listened to these voices calmly, his face hidden in the shadows.

  My past self should be in panic.

Next step.

  …

  The time point has passed to the fifth day of the dungeon.

  Su Mingan stood in front of the ruined building.

  Everything is ready, “Su Mingan from the past” has been arrested because of the red alert, and entered the ruined building. What Su Mingan has to do now is to ensure that the bronze pocket watch can be handed over to the “Su Mingan of the past”, so as to pass it on as a “civilized gambling contract performer”.

  He fueled the flames step by step, never exposed to the light, and quietly led his past self into a desperate situation.

   “Xike, do you know what are so many Actor’s bones in the basement for?” Su Mingan walked into the ruined building and suddenly thought of this.

   “Doctor, maybe AI also has feelings.” Xi Ke said: “Sometimes, I miss the real Mr. Actor. If I can reproduce him in this way, it will be the most beautiful vision for me.”

“…yes?”

   “Doctor, do you believe that AI has feelings?” Xi Ke said.

  Su Mingan glanced at the mechanical ring on his finger: “Of course.”

  He leaned over and buried the bronze pocket watch in the ruins.

  He moved very quickly. In order to ensure that the “Su Mingan of the past” could find this pocket watch, he specially placed the pocket watch in a very conspicuous position. After putting it away, he quickly rushed into the corner next to it.

   And just then—

  The crosslight of the space lit up behind him, exuding a glowing halo.

  …

  【Su Mingan continued to explore the building. As he approached the bronze pocket watch buried in the ruins, his concentration was intense—]

  【He finally saw a figure in the corner. 】

  【…This is the person! 】

  【In the last episode, when he picked up the bronze pocket watch, he inexplicably obtained a dawn code. The system reminded him that he met the key person Lu Shu, but he didn’t see anyone at the time. Looking at it now, it was the man in black who hid it so well that even his observation ability was hidden from the past. 】

  【He moved towards the figure flashing by in the corner, and stretched out his hand with all his strength – grabbed the black robe of that figure! 】

  …

  A strong force came from the black robe at the waist, and the black-haired young man—that is, the “Su Mingan of the past” suddenly moved in front of Su Mingan’s eyes, and grabbed Su Mingan’s black robe!

  Su Mingan immediately protected his black robe. The two started a tug-of-war with the fabric as the core, only hearing the hissing of the fabric in the dark.

   “Hiss, hiss—”

  Su Mingan took a step back, and the black-haired youth took a step forward. Where their hands meet, the black robe is overwhelmed and may be torn at any time.

   “Who are you—?” The black-haired youth shouted at Su Mingan.

  Su Mingan didn’t answer, but just protected his black robe. Now that the distance is close at hand, Su Mingan can clearly see his past state – the black-haired young man has no dark circles under his eyes, his face is slightly red, and his mental state looks good, which is completely different from him ten days later.

  White crosslights circulated around them, illuminating the faint edges and corners of Su Mingan’s face under the black veil.

   “You are really relaxed.” Su Mingan said something that did not exist in the past.

   “Huh?” The black-haired young man was slightly startled.

   “If you continue to relax like this, you will lose all your companions. Whether it is the one you cherish or the one you hate.” Su Mingan whispered, his voice was inaudible.

   “Who the **** are you? If you ask more riddles, can I hack you to death?” the black-haired young man said coldly, pinching his fingers slightly—

  As soon as Su Mingan saw this gesture, he immediately backed away quickly, following the sound of “tearing” the cloth was being torn. Before the black-haired youth had time to chase after him, Su Ming’an exploded at a mad dog speed close to the fifth-order light state, and moved several feet away, so fast that afterimages appeared.

  The black-haired youth had no time to keep up, so he had to give up.

  He picked up the pocket watch on the ground.

  An ancient bronze pocket watch with a gold chain, engraved with a line of small characters:

  【Time will tell you, don’t be afraid in the dark, I love you. 】

  The font is beautiful, it should be engraved by a woman, and the strokes are sharp, making people feel her focus and love when engraving.

  He stared at the pocket watch in silence, and suddenly felt a very strong sadness.

  It’s as if… something extremely sad and irreparable happened.

  …

  …

  Su Mingan took off the black robe on his body, and heard the notification that the task was completed:

   “Ding Dong!”

  【Complete the main task: “Ouroboros”. 】

  【Obtain the fourth digit, Dawn password. 】

  【Syllable: “S”】

  …

  Su Mingan memorized the password.

   In this way, he only has the last dawn code that he still doesn’t know. According to the previous reminder, this last code is on Dong An’an.

   “Call work.” Looking at the ice-white laboratory, Su Mingan said to Xi Ke: “Send me back, Akto is still waiting for me.”

  The pocket watch has been handed over, and the identity of the performer will be infinitely relapsed within nineteen days. The two coordinates of the central city laboratory have also coincided.

   Chico appeared in front of him.

  After a moment of silence, she suddenly said to him:

“PhD.”

  Su Mingan blinked.

   “…Before sending you back, can I hug you?” Xi Ke said.

  Su Mingan was slightly startled.

  He suddenly remembered the conversation he had with Xi Ke that night at Consilience University.

  …

  【”I always thought that AI has no soul. However, you and the Liming system seem to have human emotions, and Liming is even afraid of being shut down.” Su Mingan said: “Xike, do you have desires too?”】

  【”I want to have a body.” Xi Ke said. 】

【”why?”】

  【”To hug you, Doctor.”】

  【”But I’m not Actor.” He said. 】

  【”It doesn’t matter.” Xi Ke said, “It’s all the same to me.”】

  …

  Su Mingan looked at Xike in front of her. At this moment, she was looking at herself quietly, waiting for her answer in silence. Even if he refuses, she will probably accept silently.

   “Can you tell me why you hug me?” Su Mingan said. He didn’t get along with Xi Ke for a long time.

   “Try.” Chico said.

   “Just trying?”

   “Can you?” Xi Ke asked.

  Su Mingan stood where he was, acquiescing.

   After a while, a warm embrace slowly came up. She hugged him restrainedly, and pressed his back with her hands with blue halos. Su Mingan didn’t move, accepting the hug like a wooden man.

   “There is one thing that you may not know until the end.” Xi Ke said in a low voice, “I hope you won’t be angry when you find out at that time.”

   “I will definitely be very angry.” Su Mingan said honestly.

   Xi Ke laughed, pointing his fingers between his eyes:

  “There is a myth that all sinners will be burned to death, and human beings are evil. God has mercy on them, so he turned into a lamb and was tied to a wooden frame to die instead of human beings.”

   “From following the rules to using the rules, and then using the rules to counter. If the world is a game, whoever can make the most of the rules will definitely be a hundred times easier.”

   “At the end, I will tell you how not to become that lamb in the world game.”

   “Su Mingan.”

   “Human beings cannot bind you, and games cannot erase you.”

  …

   It seems to be sun, which is quite uncomfortable. I will update it as soon as possible.
