The basement room remained dimly lit. Apart from Jiang Cheng's soft breathing, the only sounds were the operation of the robotic arm and the buzzing of gears meshing in large technological equipment. These sounds seemed to come from a place far removed from the real world, from a place that could not be seen or touched. Even the physical objects of these machines existed in the blurry light and shadow, giving rise to a sense of fear and reluctance to touch them.
The silver turntable shimmered, and the restraints on it came undone, revealing no trace of Gu Qingwan.
The room was eerily quiet.
Jiang Cheng sat with his head down in the chair. His arms were resting on his knees, his palms facing each other, his knuckles supporting his chin. His gaze was fixed on Gu Qingwan, who lay quietly beside the silver turntable directly opposite him.
After the procedure was completed, he removed all the restraints from her and properly placed her on the control panel.
Gu Qingwan's snow-white skin, completely naked, shimmered with silver light, as if some unknown energy was surging beneath her skin. Her long hair cascaded down like a waterfall, covering most of her body. Her eyes were closed, her raven-black eyelashes covering her eyes, casting mottled shadows on her cheeks.
Seeing that Gu Qingwan's face still showed no anger, Jiang Cheng simply leaned back slightly, resting his shoulders on the cold chair back.
He wasn't in a hurry for Gu Qingwan to wake up; he had plenty of time.
The entire room was dark, bathed in a clear, deep blue light. The source of this light was Gu Qingwan's left breast.
Jiang Cheng's gaze shifted to the light.
Although it was a rather private area, Jiang Cheng did not avoid looking at it, but simply stared quietly at the translucent blue gem.
This is the "Heart of the Universe".
Just by looking at it, one can feel countless spaces folding within it, each molecular world within the crystal structure infinitely vast, heavy, and magnificent. It is only the size of a fist, yet inside it contains raging winds and blizzards, a vast and magnificent ocean, a constantly exploding atmosphere, and ancient trees shedding their leaves.
As he experienced all of this, there was no greed in his eyes, only an insatiable thirst for knowledge.
The gemstone floated quietly on Gu Qingwan's chest, its shimmering light illuminating her serene face and creating a wondrous atmosphere throughout the underground laboratory.
Blue is a color that can calm people's hearts, but Jiang Cheng's mind was constantly in turmoil as he was always enveloped in it.
He longed for Gu Qingwan's awakening, and also for contact with the Heart of the Universe. All this unknown was like a giant black hole, pulling Jiang Cheng deeper and deeper into it, and facing this abyss, Jiang Cheng was willing to accept it.
Although Gu Qingwan was very good before, it's just that...
She did not prioritize Jiangcheng as her primary objective.
Therefore, he was determined to reform her.
What he wanted was a Gu Qingwan who was completely loyal to him.
He didn't care how much effort it took.
At the same time, the sapphire began to shimmer slightly, and its light became much brighter than before, even causing Jiang Cheng's eyes to sting slightly.
But he was unwilling to look away even for a moment, and simply got up and walked slowly to the control panel.
The time has come.
During those few steps, a torrent of emotions and thoughts surged through his mind.
joy.
It is to celebrate Gu Qingwan's rebirth.
Fear.
He was worried about the arrival of this stranger.
firm.
It is for the purpose of exploring the universe.
In the end, everything returned to peace.
He took another deep breath, filling his lungs for a few seconds before slowly exhaling. Seemingly after emptying his lungs of stale air, Jiang Cheng's gaze softened considerably.
No matter what happens next, his heart will never change.
The moment Jiang Cheng reached out and touched Gu Qingwan's body, he was startled to find that her body temperature was slowly rising and the color in her face was gradually returning. Slowly, Gu Qingwan transformed from a lifeless machine back into the robotic assistant Jiang Cheng remembered.
However, there was something about her that was completely unfamiliar to Jiang Cheng. He couldn't quite put his finger on what exactly had changed about Gu Qingwan, but she just didn't seem the same.
With a hint of tension in his voice, Jiang Cheng whispered in his mind, his face tense: "It's time to wake up."
"bass--"
A sudden burst of light emanated from Gu Qingwan, illuminating the entire laboratory with unparalleled brightness, like a second blue sun blooming from the ground.
"Tsk."
Jiang Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly, took half a step back, and casually grabbed the goggles from the control panel and put them on.
Gu Qingwan suddenly opened her eyes. Unlike usual, her eyes were devoid of any emotion, like an empty mannequin, staring blankly ahead. Jiang Cheng slowly stepped forward, gently placing his finger on Gu Qingwan's brow. As he closed his eyes, he merged his consciousness into her body.
Just like a computer's formatting program, Gu Qingwan was in a newly booted-up state, so she had no independent consciousness. Jiang Cheng, as her highest executive standard, naturally activated a brand new program the moment he touched her.
Gu Qingwan's body began to tremble slightly. As she felt hot, large patches of blush appeared on her snow-white skin. Her eyes gradually became clear, and she gradually returned to the state that Jiang Cheng was most familiar with.
The next instant, her pupils suddenly tightened.
Jiang Cheng was about to say something when he was drawn to the color overflowing from her eyes. As Gu Qingwan's pupils contracted and then dilated, a myriad of lights burst forth, like the flames ignited when an engine starts, striking Jiang Cheng's soul directly.
"Bang!"
