Chapter 68 The Director's Fate
At this moment, the director was unaware that the doctor on the other side had encountered Nangong Qi. He calmly took a sip of tea while looking at Jie Mao, who was eyeing him menacingly.
At this moment, with his alter ego present, he remained calm and composed, already pondering why such a significant change had occurred.
Now, only areas covered by high technology still have a chance to fight back.
The monsters outside are clearly abnormal. Generally speaking, humans have already compressed their living space and given up some territory.
Generally speaking, the things inside are just mutated, lacking their own rationality or radiation, but now the powerful and unpredictable monsters roaming outside are clearly not products of this world.
These things are invaders from other worlds, after all, only a minority possess powerful superpowers.
Most of what we see outside now are robots; after all, humans are the foundation.
Most of his aliases, having moved between various bases, had established relatively strong operations. Therefore, they all bought protective shields from Huji, and the smaller bases without aliases followed suit.
However, it's hard to persuade a stubborn person with kind words; there's nothing he can do about the few who insist on going out.
During the days he was asleep, all the pseudonyms would contact him regularly to develop a plan.
So there weren't many casualties; everyone bought protective shields from Xiji. Even basic food was grown by robots and delivered.
In fact, under normal circumstances, there is usually no signal at this time. Fortunately, the identity of "洴寂" is special.
He is immortal and indestructible, existing as a soul. In the process, he discovered the wonderful use of this alias, which allows him to travel through the internet.
Therefore, all robots nowadays are actually just issuing commands through the silent soul.
Therefore, these machines also have a dormant state, and at the same time, they rely on the powerful ability of Shao Ji to periodically transfer the power of the divine essence.
Otherwise, even the stagnation wouldn't be able to hold on.
Of course, this matter is not so simple in the eyes of "others".
Especially Jie Mao, after he discovered that Shao Ji was having regular "rendezvous" with the enemy leader every day, he was troubled for a while, but he quickly calmed himself down.
As long as he's not completely obsessed with that perverted director, it's fine. At worst, he can recruit a few more male concubines after Shao Ji becomes the leader of everyone. Maybe he can even volunteer himself.
Jie Mao was overjoyed. In his eyes, Shao Ji was the best no matter what, so everything should belong to Shao Ji.
However, Shao Ji could ignore the "persona" of the alternate account before, but not now. The main body is back, and the system is back too.
Shao Ji wasn't surprised at all when Jie Mao rushed over to report that the director had woken up.
After all, he was the one who woke up, how could he not know?
While mentally complaining, I was also thinking of ways to deal with the cat.
"Lady Shaoji~ The director has woken up. Do you want to enjoy him? Or get rid of him? Hmm... or play with him?" Jie Mao's eyes sparkled. In his eyes, Shaoji and Huji were already very intimate, which meant that Shaoji had let go of the director. But considering how much Lady Shaoji used to like the director, what if Lady Shaoji still wanted to play with him?
Shao Ji choked, momentarily unable to react to the wording. After a while, she continued to give the reasons she had prepared.
"Jie Mao, do you know why I'm helping Hong Ji?"
Jie Mao was a little confused. He didn't care about the reason. He was sure that Lady Shao Ji had her reasons for doing this. He had always thought it was because that person was good-looking.
However, he still followed up on Shao Ji's words and asked, "Is it because he can help us obtain the divine status?" This reason could usually fool Jie Mao and the others, but this persona has no emotions, so it cannot be used as a basis for a complete investigation.
"Half of it, actually I am not Jiao Qianyu's daughter." He paused to observe Jie Mao's reaction, but he seemed quite calm.
"Everyone keeps saying that I was born from a fox spirit and Jiao Qianyu, but that's not true. In the beginning, I was just a mass of energy, without consciousness or the five senses, only capable of absorbing power."
"When I was still in a state of confusion, someone touched me. At that moment, I seemed to have the emotion of 'curiosity' for the first time. Then, I was born based on his emotions and consciousness. I don't know if my birth was because of him or my own will."
Jie Mao listened intently to these words, almost wanting to write them down in a notebook. This was the birth of Lady Shao Ji, so why was she saying all this? Did Lady Shao Ji finally consider me the person she trusted most?
"After that, I met my first 'human' fox woman, who sealed away my emotions."
Hearing this, Jie Mao was truly shocked. What a damned person! So Lady Shao Ji wasn't born this way. That person truly deserves to die. Jie Mao was filled with hatred.
"I first found the person who awakened me, who was my only obsession at the time. Then I met the second person, the director, and I smelled a familiar scent. The scent of the person who awakened me."
So that's how it is. No wonder Shao Ji has such an extraordinary obsession with the director.
"But now I realize that's not the case. The person who woke me up was Hongji. He is the one I'm looking for. The reason why the director smells like him is simply because they've been in close contact for too long and have picked up each other's scent."
It had been a long time since she had spoken so much in one go, and she was a little tired. Just as Shao Ji was about to take a break, she noticed that Jie Mao's expression was not good.
"As expected, that director is a scumbag. Back then, Huiji was just a child, right?" His face darkened even more when he thought about how Shaoji was also a child when the director adopted her. He wished he could kill him right now.
Shao Ji was confused for a moment, then recalled her words and instantly realized that he had said they had picked up each other's scent, which had caused Jie Mao to misunderstand. But it wasn't convenient to explain under this pseudonym.
So Shaoji swallowed her words. Oh well, in Jie Mao's eyes he was already a scumbag, and explaining would be too much trouble anyway.
"So Lady Shaoji mistook someone for someone else?" Jie Mao carefully considered Shaoji's words and then came to this conclusion.
Shao Ji remained silent, which was clearly an admission of her consent.
However, Jie Mao was not sure; he did not believe it was simply a case of mistaken identity.
This was Shao Ji's only emotion when she was sealing her feelings. It's normal for her to want to find that person, but he felt that he hadn't misjudged Shao Ji. Perhaps she herself didn't realize that when she looked at the director, her eyes had warmth.
It was something she was unaware of, something that flowed naturally without her even realizing it. But he, who was constantly observing Shao Ji, could perceive it.
In Jie Mao's view, looking for someone is nothing more than a matter of ignorance and obsession.
The fact that her emotions are sealed doesn't mean they don't exist. It's very possible that Lady Shaoji herself isn't even aware of her own feelings.
However, he didn't want Shao Ji to realize it, so he swallowed his guess and said, "So that's how it is. Are we going to help Hui Ji now? What about the director? Let's kill him!" As he spoke, he thought to himself.
Just a moment ago, I had the thought of keeping her as a plaything, but now I can't wait to kill her before she can react.
"No!" Realizing her loss of composure, Shao Ji immediately composed herself, her brows furrowing slightly.
The cat immediately stopped, looking very obedient, but inwardly it sighed slightly, thinking, "Just as I thought."
"The director is still useful for now, so please bring him along. I have some things I need his help with, so please bring him over as well."

Nangong Qi discovered that ever since she met the doctor, her body's systems had become completely unresponsive, as if she were dead.
She immediately realized that there must be something special about the person in front of her!
She hesitated for a long time before telling the doctor what she had seen and heard along the way.
While the doctor was still thinking, she finally asked her first question.
"So, the director's actions were actually aimed at saving the world?" Nangong Qi looked directly at the doctor.
The doctor seemed a little confused, but outwardly remained calm.
But Nangong Qi seemed to know something and gave a self-deprecating smile, "As expected... as expected, it turns out I'm the villain."
"What? A villain? Did the system give you a mission?" The doctor was somewhat doubtful, but he was still willing to believe the little girl. Although she was naive and unlike people from this world, she didn't seem to have any bad intentions.
Nangong Qi suddenly opened her eyes, "Why do you know about the system?"
The doctor hesitated for a moment but still spoke up, feeling that there was no harm in saying anything given the situation, so he just went straight to the point.
It was at this moment that Nangong Qi realized that she had been exposed all along, and that the director had been putting on an act from the very beginning!
They had her completely fooled, but she wasn't angry at all. "So that's how it is. It was exposed a long time ago. You even know the plot. I was just a clown jumping around and performing for you."
"You have a system, can I ask you if you know why the world has become like this?"
“…I know, I also know how to make the world a better place,” she said, looking at the doctor with a serious expression.
After listening, the doctor interrupted her, "So, if we can get this 'plot' back on track, maybe the world can return to normal?"
Nangong Qi nodded excitedly, "Yes, as long as the plot returns to its original state, perhaps in this world... as long as you're willing to help me a little..."
"I don't want to." Nangong Qi's face froze at the doctor's resolute words. "Why? Don't you want the world to be a better place? Look at how many people are sacrificing themselves now?"
“Nangong Qi, I’m not a saint. I only care about the people I care about living well. Do you know who I care about most in this world? It’s the director.”
"You've brought the story back to its original ending, but do you still remember what the director's original ending was? You haven't forgotten, have you? The director was the villain." Nangong Qi's breath hitched at the doctor's words.
