Chapter 326 No Way Out

He is not retrograde.

To Zhi Lan, he is not going back.

Tamo walked back with Zhilan's body in his arms. His mind was empty and his steps were light and vague, like a wandering soul.

The half-rotten corpse he brought back a long time ago stayed in his small space for so long and finally died again.

The first thing Zhi Lan did after waking up was to destroy it.

Tamo smiled sarcastically and hugged Chi Lan tightly. Finally, after hundreds of attempts, he felt tired and decided to let him go.

Tamo walked a long way, and he returned to the dead dragon planet and put Zhilan's body back into it.

【Zhi Lan, you are right, I am not going back. 】

Tamo sat beside the rotten mud. The wind blew up the sand again and again, quietly covering the rapidly decaying dragon skeleton below.

Tamo's eyes dimmed, he hooked Zhi Lan's finger and smiled.

【I found him and I will give him back to you. 】

Zhilan remained silent, his face corroded by the wind and sand, reduced to dry bones. Tamo buried his face in Zhilan's palm, trying to block the particularly strange liquid that was sliding down his eyes.

He brought the vortex back.

He went to find the return.

Tamo remembered what Zhi Lan had said to him. Zhi Lan must not like his silver ball look. The one with him should also be a dragon.

White hair, curly hair, golden eyes, long legs.

Tamo prepared all the props again. He used machinery and plastic to slowly create a dragon that met his requirements, just as Zhi Lan had described in his memory.

It might take a long time, but he could wait.

He can wait slowly.

As long as this dragon race is created and his emotions are stripped away and stuffed into it again, then this dragon race will be the most perfect "retrograde".

Zhi Lan will accept him.

Tamo watched Suhui's growth every night when the coldness invaded. Seeing that the dragon was still growing up with delicate appearance, he suppressed the throbbing in his heart bit by bit.

As long as Zhi Lan can accept "retrograde", everything he does now will make sense.

But he didn't expect that his own soul would be born inside Suhui's mechanical body.

Tamo never let him have contact with the outside world. He hid the robot at the bottom of the sea, cutting off all possible contact with creatures and avoiding all factors that could disturb him.

But he still created a soul.

He has self-awareness, can think, and can move. He broke through the barrier that separated him from the outside world without authorization, went to the outside world, and married a mermaid...?

After learning everything, Tamo almost crushed the monitor.

Why did he create the cyclopean?

Is it to make him... become a so-called human?

Is it so that after he has feelings, he will fall in love with someone else?

What does that mean for everything that Tamo has done over the years?

What is all this?!

At that moment, hatred and disgust almost reached its peak.

The emotions that he had once severed and merged were clamoring. Tamo stared at the robot that he had created and named Suhui, and he once again had the urge to kill.

If Suhui didn't love Zhilan, then his existence would be meaningless.

This is an error.

Errors...should be eliminated.

He seemed to have done this once before, so when he dismantled a system again, his methods were still quick and ruthless.

System fragments fell from the sky. Tamo stood on top of the clouds and turned around when he suddenly heard a sharp wail from below.

"Backstream!!!"

The voice was mournful and he was grief-stricken to death.

Tamo paused, sensing the attack coming from below, and slashed the mermaid's tail. He didn't know why he used less force, so he didn't go deep, and only slashed the scales on the mermaid's leg, not cutting it off completely.

But this was enough pain to make the mermaid faint.

Zhou Yanshu's screams echoed across the entire sea. Tamo looked down and saw the sea water had turned red. The mermaid had fallen into the rubble. He struggled, using his torn body to barely cover up a relatively intact piece of system debris underneath.

There was blood at the corner of his lips, his eyes were red, his golden hair was disheveled, but his silver eyes were still looking at Tamo viciously.

At that moment, his face overlapped with the Chi Lan of ten thousand years ago.

Tamo froze in place, feeling the chill that penetrated his bones. He moved his fingers awkwardly and quickly looked away.

...What is he doing?

...What on earth is he doing? !

[A threat has been detected. Do you want to clear it? ]

The frame of red words floated beside Tamo. His pupils moved and he suddenly reached out and slapped the display screen.

He no longer looked at Zhou Yanshu and left this world as quickly as if he was escaping.

"Master System, do you regret it? ...Why do you regret it?"

The mocking voices rang in his ears and then slowly faded away. Tamo opened his eyes and gradually felt a tingling sensation rising from his head, which soon subsided again.

The cleaning task on the big data screen has been completed, and it shows that all the stolen files have been deleted.

Tamo caught a glimpse of the purple light flashing beside him. He calmed himself down, stood up, and walked steadily to the side.

[Don't pretend, I know you are awake. ]

A faint purple light glowed on Zhou Yanshu's body. He hid in the system shell, floating in the air without saying a word.

Tamer smiled at him.

【What did you see just now? Tell me.】

Zhou Yanshu had already seen Tamo's sudden loss of control of his emotions. He leaned against the surveillance railing behind him and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Tamo tilted his head, his eyes rolled slightly, and he felt amused.

[Yes, I often get mad. I'm in a bad mood and like to vent. I just stepped on that old controller and broke it. If you make me unhappy again...]

He kicked the debris aside casually.

【I will step on you as my new controller.】

Zhou Yanshu: "..."

He sneered twice, turned his back on the ball and ignored Tamo.

Tamo had not yet decided to kill Zhou Yanshu. He simply locked Zhou Yanshu in a small space of his own creation and sealed him with a special energy cage.

"What do you want to do to me?" Zhou Yanshu said coldly, "Don't try to control me."

[If you don't cause me any trouble, I won't do anything to you. This is your confinement room. I think you need to calm down and think.]

[When the time comes, I will let you go. ]

The purple ball system glowed with light: "Where's Yuzhuo?"

Tamo kept walking. He walked to the door and glanced at Zhou Yanshu.

【He has nothing to do with you anymore. 】

"You...!" Before Zhou Yanshu could finish his words, Tamo closed the space gate and locked his entire ball inside.

Zhou Yanshu cursed inwardly and turned around in the small cage. Due to the terrifying threat of the surrounding electric current, he had to retreat back to his original position temporarily.

This small space is a special territory created by Tamo himself. Without his aura, it would be difficult for the normal system to enter.

Zhou Yanshu had cut off contact with Pei Du and the others as soon as he was discovered. Now this space has cut off the signals that the system can use, and Zhou Yanshu is completely unable to contact them anymore.

…What should I do?

Zhou Yan huddled in the corner of the space. He turned the ball around aimlessly and looked at the scene in the space. He felt that everything around him was dark, gloomy, depressing and suffocating, and he had no energy at all.

He couldn't just sit there and wait for death. He hadn't determined Yuzhuo's position yet, and if he kept waiting like this, he would accomplish nothing.

Zhou Yanshu controlled the purple ball system to approach the outer edge of the isolated space. He ignored the electric currents attacking him and tried to open a crack from the corner.

"drop--"

There was a slight sound from the door, and Zhou Yanshu stopped moving. He immediately withdrew his energy and floated back to the center of the cage in an orderly manner.
