Chapter 64
"...Who would fall in love with such a bad guy?" Isaac felt helpless about Pei Zhao's imagination. He patted the mess on his body and stood up.
"Let me take you out. It's almost dawn and I still have experiments to do."
"...Isaac, what is the purpose of doing experiments?"
"In order to better accept the baptism of civilization, humans are social animals, and we need to master as much human data as possible."
"…Isaac. This is meaningless. If human civilization ends, everything will stagnate. There is no point in doing this."
"Then we should do something. Pei Zhao, we can't just do nothing and wait for death to come."
Pei Zhao grabbed in the dark and found nothing. He frowned, and a whip appeared from his palm, which he accurately wrapped around Isaac's ankle.
"... Pei Zhao, you!" Isaac screamed first, and when he realized that it came from Pei Zhao, he glared in that direction. Although he couldn't see anything, his momentum didn't weaken at all. "Take back your ability! There are surveillance cameras here!"
"There are surveillance cameras. That's great." Pei Zhao sneered, "I was completely exposed when I rescued you last time. I guess your boss will come to me in person before tomorrow morning."
"You are crazy. He will capture you and do disintegration research."
"That's the best. It's best if you just die." Pei Zhao deliberately angered Isaac. Sure enough, the man saw that the threat was not moving and had no choice but to say in a gentle voice: "You saved my life. I can't watch you die in his hands. I'll find a way to get you out of the lab."
“There’s a better way.”
"What is the solution?"
"You come with me."
Isaac was silent. After a long while, he asked, "Why do you have to let me go with you?"
"Because you are not suitable here." Pei Zhao stood up and slowly tightened the mirror whip until Isaac and he just touched each other.
"Isaac, promise me to become my puppet, and I will take you away."
The air was silent for a few seconds, and Isaac gently pushed Pei Zhao: "Stop it."
Pei Zhao frowned: "I didn't make a fuss."
"Becoming a puppet... that's an unrealistic statement."
"It's true." Pei Zhao felt strange. What was going on? I have been to so many worlds, but only the people in this world seem to be unaware of the idea of idolization. However, Pei Zhao soon realized that all the people in this world were exiled criminals, who were sent here alone. There was no possibility for them to maintain their human form through love.
According to Isaac, Pei Zhao inferred that this world should be a third world independent of the real world and the other world. But the people here were all captured from various worlds.
So for Isaac, this statement was just like when Pei Zhao first learned that he was a puppeteer, and Pei Zhao could understand it.
Pei Zhao could only say, "Before the new civilization arrives, the current civilization has another set of rules. Become my puppet, and I can take you back to my world."
"The world won't allow us to go back," Isaac retorted.
"My presence here means the world allows it." Pei Zhao's tone was calm, but his words were powerful. "Will you come with me?"
For some reason, it was clear that their conversation took place in the dark. Isaac could not see Pei Zhao's face at all, but he felt that he was glowing.
Isaac couldn't help but reach out his hand and touch Pei Zhao's arms.
The young man in front of him was very young, so young that Isaac didn't dare to believe Pei Zhao's words, and had no clear understanding of the "world" and "puppet" he mentioned.
But I just want to believe it for some reason.
Want to give it a try? Even if you fail, there is no loss.
Isaac thought so. "good……"
"What are you going to do?"
The blinding light descended, Pei Zhao reacted quickly, pulling the mirror whip back and pulling Isaac to his side. The tall figure of the man in front of him looked like an executioner from hell. Pei Zhao turned his head and said quickly: "Hurry up and finish your words!"
"I...I," Isaac was obviously panicked. There seemed to be some conditioned reflex in his body that forced him to obey the man's orders, but at the same time, a voice in his mind was clamoring for him to rebel and follow Pei Zhao away.
After not receiving a reply for a long time, Pei Zhao's heart sank to the bottom. I thought it was over. Either I would get taught a lesson again, or I would get out today. He could understand Isaac's fickleness, but he could not tolerate being betrayed again and again. Perhaps Isaac was not really a good choice.
The mirror whip was released from Isaac and was lifted in front of him by Pei Zhao.
It seems like a state of war is about to begin. But just when Pei Zhao thought it would be a fierce battle, he suddenly heard a faint but firm voice behind him.
"I'd like to be your puppet."
For a moment, time seemed to stop.
Countless red lines emerged from Pei Zhao's body and spread into Isaac's body. At the same time, there was a rustling sound all around, as if the sound of wooden structure was aging.
A white light began to appear around them - it shone so brightly that it almost filled the entire room.
【Host! 】Xiaorui's voice came to my ears.
Isaac felt himself getting lighter and lighter. At first, he just wanted to give it a try and did what Pei Zhao said.
What he was thinking in his heart was that he owed Pei Zhao a life, and even if Pei Zhao lied to him, it was just a prank.
But gradually, as he said this sincerely and watched the red blood seep into his body, his memory began to become blurred.
who is he?
Isaac, a specially hired experimenter in the laboratory, was a prisoner banished to the white hell.
His body began to shrink, and his memories of his boss, the test subject...these memories began to become blurry. Only the memory of Pei Zhao began to magnify.
Until his last sight, only Pei Zhao was left, and he felt that he was held in someone's arms.
“…I’m finally back.”
In front of him was the second floor of the puppet shop that Bai Zhou had just rented not long ago, the familiar hall, and the familiar coffin.
They were sitting here, transported to another world.
But now, he is the only one who has returned.
Pei Zhao put Isaac's puppet aside. I took off the necklace from my neck, and the sparks and ice crystals inside were all sleeping soundly.
"Zhou Yuli, Bai Zhou, Lan Ji?" Pei Zhao tried to call their names but got no response.
How to restore them to their original state?
Bai Zhou once said that they all have a nucleus that carries their life. As long as this core remains, they can achieve a certain kind of immortality.
But Pei Zhao has never done anything specific before...he needs to find someone to help.
Pei Zhao dialed a number he didn't use often. This number had been in his phone for a long time, but Pei Zhao had never called it.
"Hello?" The phone was connected, and a voice with a seductive and noble tone came, "Little Pei Zhao, do you miss me?"
"Sudi, let me ask you. If only the core is left, how can we revive?" Ignoring the frivolous tone in Sudi's words, Pei Zhao asked in a deep voice.
"Have you been to White Hell?"
Unexpectedly, Sudi hit the nail on the head on where they had been before. Pei Zhao was extremely surprised: "How do you know?"
Sudi's voice could be heard to be hurried: "White Hell, how many of you went there...how many came back?"
Pei Zhao closed his eyes in pain: "There are five of us, and only... I am left."
"..." Sudi didn't speak for a long time, but Pei Zhao heard that he was trying to breathe steadily. After a long while, Sudi said in a calm tone that he tried his best to maintain: "Don't be afraid, Zhao Zhao, you are back now, right? Where are you? I will find you."
"Puppet shop." Pei Zhao didn't expect that when he returned to the real world, the first person who made him want to cry was Sudi.
This person...although he is not serious at ordinary times, but...he is also a good person.
"I'm going out now. I'm going to hang up first. Just stay there and wait for me."
Pei Zhao sniffed and said in a muffled voice, "Okay."
Sudi came very quickly, almost running to the second floor.
At first he didn't believe that the five-member group would end up like this, but when he saw that Pei Zhao was the only one sitting on the sofa in the empty two-bedroom and one-living room, Sudi had to believe it.
Sudi squatted in front of Pei Zhao. Pei Zhao's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and his shoulders were shaking constantly. Sodi sighed, "It's okay, baby."
Pei Zhao just shook his head: "At the beginning, it was a mistake...he fell down. I thought, that was the worst case scenario. Who knew that soon, Zhou Yuli, Lan Ji, Bai Zhou...they all..." Pei Zhao couldn't say any more.
"The White Hell is a place where you can't return. This is normal." Sudi comforted him, his eyes falling on the necklace in Pei Zhao's hand, "This is..."
"Lan Ji said that this is their core. With this, they can be resurrected, right?"
"..." Sudi did not answer, but slowly took out a pendant from his clothes. A small one with a golden star in the middle.
"...Maybe it's true. Pei Zhao, I'm also looking for a chance to revive."
Pei Zhao couldn't hold it anymore. He fell on his knees, covered his face with his hands and cried silently. Why did Sudi take out this pendant now? Does it mean that they really won’t be resurrected?
They...can't come back.
When Pei Zhao thought of this possibility, he felt a sharp pain in his chest. He covered his chest and pressed Sudi's shoulders in an almost begging manner, "Help me find a way, Sudi, please, help me find a way, no matter what, I want to revive them."
If there was a way, would he have to wear only such a necklace until now?
The star in the pendant was twinkling, and this was the fifth year he had been wearing it. Five years ago, also on a puppet mission, he was assigned to a world called Pure White Hell.
The system malfunctioned as soon as he entered the world. Before Sudi had time to find out what was going on, he heard a crisp sound.
The person who was originally by his side was sucked into a huge black hole. It disappeared in an instant.
His outstretched hand struck empty air. Sudi wanted to look everywhere, but ended up seeing the whole place dyed red.
……later.
Later, Sudi walked along the edge of the world and finally saw a person who seemed to be dead.
At the moment of death, he gave his life to Sudi and became Sudi's puppet.
Sudi returned to his own world.
The heart-shaped necklace on his body was collected by Sudi when he returned to the real world. After traveling to more than a dozen cities, I finally found a laboratory that could refine the substance.
The laboratory used those things to extract a dim and tiny star.
However, Sudi treasures it like a treasure and hangs it on his chest. It has been five years now.
“…There is a way to revive him.”
Compared to himself, Pei Zhao is already very lucky. At least he had their energy cores.
Sudi told the truth he knew, "In the main world, there is a host computer that stores all the information. It can revive all creatures that have ever existed, but the method is... it must be activated with the energy core of the creature's existence."
"Take me there." Hearing that there was a way, Pei Zhao nodded hurriedly, "Main world, take me there, now, immediately, right away."
