【Exclusive from Jinjiang】The Light of Humanity (Two in One)
“Ding ding ding ding——”
There seemed to be some sound coming from a very far distance, then gradually getting louder, with a strange feeling of suffocation.
As the strange yet familiar ringing ended, a vague male voice rang in her ears again.
“Same…same…”
"——Classmate?"
Luo Shiqin was brought back to her senses by the word "classmate". She tilted her head woodenly and looked at the man who was calling her.
The security guard looked at her cautiously, then glanced at the camera in her hand, and hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Classmate? Are you okay?"
"...Yeah, I'm fine. Nothing's wrong."
Luo Shiqin responded seriously, and then smiled skillfully: "I was just fascinated by the scenery. I'm fine. Thank you, uncle."
"I'm glad you're okay," the school security guard nodded after seeing that she was indeed fine, and then gestured to Luo Shiqin to move to the side. "There are a lot of students and cars entering the school here. If you want to take pictures, stand somewhere safer to the side, and be careful of any problems."
Luo Shiqin nodded, said hello to the security guard, and turned to leave.
"Hmm? What's going on?"
The security guard who had just returned to his duty post heard his colleague ask casually that they saw the girl standing at the campus gate for a long time, and if they were not worried about something going wrong, they would not have left their post to disturb her.
"It seems like he was mesmerized by the scenery," the returning security guard shook his head at his colleague and couldn't help laughing, "Although the greening of our school is indeed very well done, if you want to take pictures of the scenery, it's still better to go inside the school, right?"
"Maybe he's not a student of our school," the colleague shrugged. "You may not know much about this since you just arrived. There are too many weirdos in our school, and we have to be careful of those outside the school... You know there is an island in the middle of the lake on campus, right? A few years ago, a student found an abandoned wooden boat and rowed to the island. They were really brave!"
The newly appointed security guard was dumbfounded: "My goodness, today's students are really amazing..."
Luo Shiqin knew nothing about the content of their conversation.
She pulled her cell phone out of her pocket, and the clock on it clearly showed the current time: 11:00 a.m. on June 24, 2023.
An hour before this time, she had just attended the formal graduation ceremony and was honored as a graduate of Maosen University.
After Luo Shiqin confirmed the time, the information in her mind quickly matched her with the nearest time node.
At 2 a.m. on June 25, a little-known transaction took place in a small town on the southwestern border.
The result of that transaction, like a breeze stirred up by butterflies, eventually triggered a doomsday escape storm that lasted for fifteen years.
She must eliminate all sources before the disaster starts.
[…What are you going to do? ]
The air within the field of vision ripples like water waves, and finally surges over a paragraph of printed text.
Luo Shiqin was stunned.
"Abanahe?"
[It's me,] the words of Abanahe were typed out in the air bit by bit, [After time goes back, no one remembers the name 'Abanahe' anymore, and I... can no longer use this name to appear in front of people.]
Luo Shiqin suddenly realized: "No wonder you wanted to stop me so strongly before, it turns out there was this reason."
This is really putting his entire fortune and life on her.
[I believe you,] its tone is as straight as printed words, [I can only believe you now.]
【So I will do my best to help you. 】
Luo Shiqin naturally put his hands into his trouser pockets, and taking advantage of the blind spot of passers-by, he quickly took out his wireless headphones from the body of the small thundercloud at hand.
She put it on herself and asked, "For example?"
[For example, the evil god that caused the doomsday escape, what virus did it rely on to spread. 】
Luo Shiqin: "The data collected by GT shows that the source of infection was initially traded in powder form. However, due to the damage of the traded goods, the powder was dispersed into the air. Due to abnormal weather nearby, the powder was combined with rainwater and then accumulated in the ground, infiltrating into people's daily lives."
Abanahe: [……]
The silver-white one-eyed evil god held back for a long time before finally saying: [Very powerful.]
Apparently GT's data collection capabilities exceeded its expectations.
Luo Shiqin chuckled inconspicuously, then her expression turned serious again: "The first leaks were from illegal trade at the southwestern border, followed by some foreign regions. With more frequent trade, more and more pollutants flowed into the market."
She wasn't sure if the data GT had collected was complete, and now Abanach had filled that gap.
I will point out all the sources of pollution to you.
The silver-white one-eyed evil god finally revealed its violent nature at this moment.
[Let us tear apart all the evil gods except me, Luo Shiqin. ]
Luo Shiqin: …
Luo Shiqin: "Watch less mediocre dramas in the future."
Abanahe: [——What? I didn’t! ]
1:35 AM, June 25, 2023.
Squatting on top of the container, Luo Shiqin was wearing the black robe that was limited to the trainee Grim Reaper edition. She had a small thundercloud in each of her arms to keep warm, while looking down and waiting for the transaction that was about to take place.
"Come to think of it," she whispered, "those evil gods that I 'separated' actually still exist in a certain time and space?"
【Um.】
"In that case," Luo Shiqin lowered her eyes and thought, "GT is actually a product from a certain time and space?"
[GT-079,] Abanahe slowly typed out the number and explained to her, [The GT-079 you met did come from a certain separated evil god time and space, but your meeting was definitely not something that could be accomplished by just one 'GT-079'.]
Luo Shiqin was very smart and immediately found the truth in Abanahe's explanation.
"So the fact is that after I corrected reality, my choices created countless similar parallel universes,"
She sorted out her thoughts bit by bit: "In countless parallel universes, the people who exist may be different. The things I received before, including GT-079, were sent to me by someone in the parallel universe?"
[That's right.] Abanahe wrote, [So I admire your wisdom. You have used the power of the 'Evil God of Observation and Correction' to the extreme, and even created products that far exceed my power. You are probably the first person.]
Luo Shiqin: "You haven't met many people."
Abanahe: […I praise you! ]
Luo Shiqin supported her forehead.
She probably understood.
GT-079's journey has become an endless cycle - the intelligent AI-assisted mechanical ball born in the future travels through time (or even space) to the side of 'Luo Shiqin', and because of the other party's instructions, it once again waits for its own future birth - and so on.
I wonder how many times the GT she met in "The Age of Intelligence" has gone through the cycle of time or space to be so familiar with "Luo Shiqin"?
Luo Shiqin didn't know, but she had memorized the number.
【Here we are.】
Suddenly, the sound of vehicles driving was heard from the wilderness far below. With the help of Little Leiyun's excellent disguise skills, Luo Shiqin stood up and looked down at the approaching vehicles.
"——Has the stuff arrived?"
The man who closed the car door and jumped out was wearing a leather jacket and looked up at the buyer who was waiting on the other side.
For the seller, the "something" is money.
For buyers, "things" refer to goods.
After the two sides looked at each other for a few times, they understood the answer from each other's eyes. They exchanged a few secret signals and after a few confrontations, they moved to the next step with satisfaction.
"We have a new batch of products recently," the seller said with a sly smile, and then he pulled out a tightly sealed bag of white powder from his pocket, "The effect is absolutely beyond imagination."
"It's not available on the market yet. Do you want to get some? I'll sell it to you to test the waters."
"You dare to sell new goods?!" The buyer was half hesitant and half excited, and then whispered, "What's the price?"
"Not expensive, for this amount." The seller smiled and stretched out his fingers to count, when he suddenly heard a strange movement behind him.
"You dare to sell this?"
He turned his head suddenly, and a pair of strange silver-white eyes almost met his face.
A man in a black robe and a strange mask pinched his wrist with one hand. There was a crisp "crack" sound, and severe pain instantly swept through his brain.
"Hush, be quiet."
As Luo Shiqin instructed, she raised her hand to pick up the powder bag that the seller had just taken out, and then asked Abanach: "Is this it?"
Abanahe: [It is its breath, that's right.]
"Is that all?" Luo Shiqin asked the seller, who was trembling with pain, "Put away your little tricks. You don't want to lose your life because of this, do you?"
The seller caught a glimpse of a large number of the black-robed man's men falling behind him. They were so silent that one would think they were at a mass grave. He could understand Chinese and nodded quickly to show that he understood.
"That's all I have, really. I didn't bring much!" the seller said flatteringly, with cold sweat on his forehead sliding down his cheeks. Although the temperature was not low, he looked at the black-robed man in front of him as if he had arrived in the cold hell.
If the other party asked about the source of the goods, he would lead them back. Can one person deal with so many people?
The seller had a great idea, but he didn't expect the strange man in black robe opposite him to just snort and chuckle, and didn't ask any more questions.
"You're right, there are some."
The tone was strange, and the words were unrecognizable as they floated in the air. I didn't know who they were addressed to.
Luo Shiqin praised Abanach's assist, and then said: "Then I'll leave these to you. Destroy them all."
[Can't you just use the thundercloud?] Abanahe didn't want to use her immense power on such a small amount of powder. [She can also start a fire.]
Luo Shiqin glanced at the word "she" and then looked away.
"To prevent future trouble. Oh, and don't destroy the other items that are not the source of the pollution. These will be used to convict them."
羅詩琴一把捏住賣家的脖頸，将他和早已暈厥的買家丢在一塊兒。
“警察快來了。”
這場交易被GT記錄在案，而來源則是“婁國安”。
那個收養了餘鹿——那位雙手持有觀測之眼的華裔少年的警官，曾在這個組織做過卧底。
現在這個時間段……對方應該還只是個小弟，哪怕摸到了點交易的消息，也沒辦法參加。
羅詩琴打算去見見這位卧底警官。
給對方送個好消息，順便去回收那一顆落在餘鹿身上的觀測之眼。
今天忽然下起了小雨。
這在低緯度的異國他鄉難得一見——不僅是因為氣候原因，還有他長久被關在室內的因素。
婁國安為了混進這個組織做了很久的準備，兩個月前他終于進到了組織，直到現在才得以被放出來。
他是派出來采購的，和組織裏一個不大不小的官一同出來。
算是他的“考核員”，也算是監視他的人。
婁國安一邊按着清單去集市采購，一邊在四周查看，注意有沒有接近的接頭人員。
但他什麽也沒發現，除了一個流浪兒。
婁國安認得他，是他剛到這個國家這個地區時，随手救援了一下的可憐兒童。
也算不上是救援吧，只是把手裏面的小吃給了這看上去就快餓死了的孩子。
他依舊很瘦，但至少沒到餓死的程度，精神狀态也比兩個月前婁國安看到他時要好多了。
不過現在這個情況，也沒辦法和對方接觸——更何況他們之間的交流也只是那一點點小吃而已。
婁國安收回了目光，自然地繼續和攤主交涉。
直到忽然間，有誰拉住了自己的衣擺。
他下意識地回頭，一眼瞧見了那個流浪兒。
流浪兒用那怯生生濕漉漉的眼睛看着自己，但瞳孔深處又帶着點只有婁國安離得近才能發現的堅定。
堅定？堅定什麽？
他有些茫然，但緊接着就意識到了不妙。
不管這小子是沖什麽來，都會讓婁國安陷入懷疑！
他趕緊側過身，想要擋住派來監視他的“上級”的目光，但沒想到的是，有一個陌生的人不知道什麽時候與對方勾肩搭背聊了起來。
意識到他的目光後，突如其來的陌生人歪頭，沖着婁國安彎了下唇。
這家夥帶着半張遮面的圓形面具，上面則是畫着一只古怪的銀白色眼睛。
哪怕是看着這個圖案，婁國安都有種莫名被透視的感覺。
“喲，跟我來吧～”
他看懂了對方的唇語——這陌生人還是個懂華語的家夥。
他們順着擁擠的集市人群，走出集市。到了開過來的車外。
這時，婁國安才發現所謂“勾肩搭背狐朋狗友”，其中的主人公之一早已陷入了昏迷。
此前在集市裏，這個陌生人是撐着一個成年男人在給他演的獨角戲。
現在，出了集市，男人被毫不留情地扔在地上發出極大的聲響，即便這樣對方也沒醒來。
婁國安全身上下的神經緊繃，竭力保持冷靜：“你、你是誰？”
他還沒有暴露，這可能是試探——總之，不能露出其他不正常的反應！
“婁國安，我知道你。”
然而對方的第一句話就揭露了他的真實身份，這不是他報給組織的假名。
這一瞬間，他已經想到了自己離死亡不遠的未來。
“回神，回神！”
幾個響指在他眼前炸響，然後看着神秘人露出了其他的笑容。
“我知道你在想些什麽，”她說（他至少能從對方的下巴和脖子判斷出性別），“不過我是來送好消息的。”
“你這次的卧底任務結束了，再過不了多久，你的接頭人就會來給你傳新的消息。”
羅詩琴直接告訴了他結果，畢竟此前的幾個小時她可不全用來找婁國安這個人的。
端個毒販窩是順手的事。
解決了這件事，然後就是觀測之眼的事情了。
那個未來被割下來的，附着在鼻子上的觀測之眼，是被羅詩琴第一個回收的。
對方暈倒在地，她幾乎沒費什麽力氣就将觀測之眼回收了。
接下來就是餘鹿。
“餘鹿，過來。”
她蹲下，然後平視着流浪兒，然後沖着他招手。
羅詩琴知道，有着觀測之眼的餘鹿絕對發現她特意露出的脖子上，阿巴納赫的印記。
但沒想到的是，流浪兒猶豫了許久，左右看了一下才發現是在喊他。
羅詩琴：……
救命，該不會餘鹿這個名字婁國安也是從她這裏知道的吧？
流浪兒走到了她面前。
羅詩琴立馬收回思緒，溫聲開口：“把雙手拿出來可以嗎？”
流浪兒乖乖照做，然後羅詩琴用自己的雙手覆在小少年的手上，遮蔽了那兩只觀測之眼。
站在流浪兒的婁國安自然輕易地看見了少年手上詭異且真實的眼睛。
婁國安：！
這是什麽！
他使勁眨了眨眼，然後再度看去時，小少年攤開的雙手已經沒有了眼睛。
羅詩琴起身，伸手揉了揉餘鹿的淩亂偏長的黑發。
小家夥的生命力還沒透支，這算是一件大好事。
她擡起頭，直視驚愕的婁國安，随後說道：“不管你相不相信，這個孩子是來救你的。”
“由于某些原因，他知道你這次回去會被盤問毆打，瀕臨死亡，所以才跟着你想要救你出來。”
這是上一周目發生的事情，但有了羅詩琴的介入，這件事肯定不會發生了。不僅不會發生，連毒窩羅詩琴都給他端了。
“但現在這些事情都不會發生了，”她在心裏問了下阿巴納赫。
‘距離下個節點還剩多久？’
【四個小時。】
羅詩琴道：“如果可以，還請你收養他。當然，如果實在不行，也請給他安排點錢和能夠安心生活的住所——報酬，接下來的一天裏你會收到。”
給你增加業績的那種大報酬。
羅詩琴又揉了揉餘鹿的腦袋，輕聲道：“未來快樂，餘鹿。”
四個小時的時間，羅詩琴又抽空乘坐小雷雲飛了趟國外，把國外的邪神污染源給搞定後，馬不停蹄地飛回過來去找下一個觀測之眼宿體。
李葉的刷新點還挺固定的，畢竟對方目前還是一名初三生。
羅詩琴到的時候，對方還在家裏看電視。
也對，今天是周日。
透過玻璃窗，羅詩琴能輕而易舉地看見小家夥健康的臉蛋以及……不那麽健康的枯白發色。
‘李葉已經透支了生命？’
【她和納紮爾達成的逆轉生死的交易，只是透支生命而已，已經是很賺的了。】
阿巴納赫頓了頓，嚴謹補充：【不對，現在沒有納紮爾，也沒有阿巴納赫。觀測之眼還沒給自己取新名字。】
羅詩琴撸袖子：【那正好，開工開工！】
房間客廳裏，正端坐在沙發上看着電視的少女忽然眨了眨眼，似有所覺地側頭看向玻璃窗外。
“那裏什麽也沒有。”
她小聲道，和自己舌頭上的觀測之眼交流。
還沒等對方說什麽，很快，電視機又傳來了歡快的音樂。
“小朋友們大家好~歡迎來到羅姐姐的小游戲時間~！”
不知道為什麽，本該播放動畫片的電視現在忽然出現了一個新的陌生女性。
李葉剛想換臺，但又被對方脖子上和觀測之眼相像的圖案吸引。
“讓我們來玩一個小游戲吧~”
電視上的大姐姐露出迷人的笑容，誇張道：“閉上眼睛，張大嘴巴，倒數十個數！你最近最想實現的願望就會被滿足啦！”
……真的嗎？
李葉坐在電視機前，想到了最近變得奇怪起來的幻想精靈——在她舌頭上的眼睛。
“十——”
電視裏的倒數已經開始，李葉沒再猶豫，趕緊閉上了雙眼，大聲跟着倒數了起來。
“九——”
羅詩琴在對方閉上眼的一瞬間就喊出小雷雲去遮蔽對方的眼睛，然後自己則像貞子一樣從電視機裏面爬出來，迅速沖到了李葉面前——
“八七六五四三二一！”
李葉：？
少女迷迷糊糊睜開了雙眼，然後對着正播着gg的電視機陷入了迷茫。
電視裏那個能實現願望的大姐姐呢？
她忽然起身，跑到了浴室，對着鏡子張開了嘴——
那只奇怪的眼睛，好像真的不見了。
随着邪神感染物逐漸被清空，羅詩琴的步子也逐漸慢了下來。
現在已經到了26號的淩晨三點。
“還差最後一點污染源和一只觀測之眼。”
羅詩琴深吸了口氣：“它在哪兒？”
阿巴納赫感受了一下，最後給出了答案：“醫院。”
醫院這個地方，即便羅詩琴此前沒有反感，但接連幾次在這類地方出了點小插曲，羅詩琴這次來也提高了警惕。
她順着阿巴納赫給出的線索，從窗外飛到了三樓的外置空調箱上，看清了玻璃窗裏面的東西。
這是意見單人，羅詩琴正對着的是一個躺在病床上的女生。
她插着呼吸機，而羅詩琴憑借自己優秀的視力，輕而易舉地看清了對面女生額頭上，被碎發掩蓋着的觀測之眼。
Luo Shiqin didn't expect that the last host of the Eye of Observation would be in this situation.
After all, the description of the one-eyed lady in "The Doomsday Survival Guide" was weird, but at least she was healthy.
She carefully put on her protective clothing, sprayed herself with disinfectant alcohol, and then slowly walked through the glass window - Luo Shiqin even used the ability of her work badge.
The girl lying on the hospital bed had her eyes tightly closed and was connected to a ventilator, seeming to have no response to the outside world.
Luo Shiqin raised her hand to push back her hair, revealing the small observing eye on it.
She suddenly understood why in the "Apocalypse Survival Guide", the one-eyed lady had no other abnormalities except her eyes.
This is because the host has been in a coma, and even until the Eye of Observation took over the body, there was no way to take it back.
So much so that after being taken over, her body was the most 'healthy' of all the hosts.
Apart from this...
Luo Shiqin saw the biography of her life above her head.
"A Guide to Surviving the Doomsday".
This was the first time she had seen this book of abnormal life after going back in time.
She reached out and touched the title of the book, and the text that appeared remained the same as the previous update.
The color is very light, but it has not faded.
Luo Shiqin thought about it, then placed her hand on the Eye of Observation.
'Abanahe.'
【alright.】
This time, this book of life changes with such a huge impact finally disappeared completely.
Luo Shiqin watched as the book disappeared, revealing its real name -
The Story of Lin Fu
Lin Fu, this is the name of the girl in front of me.
Lin Fu...Lin Fu...Fu Da...?
Luo Shiqin suddenly felt blessed.
It turns out that this book about a strange life was not written by the author from the strange space, but by you.
Is it to help me?
She squatted down and leaned her face against the unconscious girl's pillow.
"Thank you for your gift." Luo Shiqin whispered, "Then I will also give you a small gift."
She said softly, "Abanach."
[This is not how the corrections in "Observe and Correct" are used...]
Abanahe wrote helplessly: [Okay, as you wish.]
To those who hold on to hope and fight against fate, your efforts deserve a happy ending.
The reason why humans shine is that they never succumb to fate.
Unyielding and fighting,
It is the eternal light in the long river of human history.
