Chapter 86 World Server Linkage (4)
"Nothing." Gu Qiufeng said subconsciously.
Gu Jiu shook his head, with a helpless indulgence: "Really? Then why do I feel that you are not very happy?"
Gu Qiufeng looked up at Gu Jiu, then smiled and said, "Doctor, you can't read minds, can you?"
"Although I think this ability is great, it's a pity that I don't have it. I just understand and pay attention to your psychological trends. If you don't like it, I will try to change my attention to you in the future." Gu Jiu said, "It's difficult because I always pay attention to you subconsciously."
Gu Qiufeng's identity is special. From the moment he decided not to give up on this child, it was already shown that Gu Jiu had to pay attention to Gu Qiufeng all the time and be his guide on his growth path.
Gu Jiu said: "Maybe you can treat me as your elder. If you think in this way, can you tell me some of the reasons why you are unhappy?"
Gu Qiufeng: "I don't really like this..."
He blinked and cleverly showed a sly smile: "It's just that I've never felt this kind of care from others."
Gu Jiu pretended to be serious and said, "That means Xie Xin really doesn't know how to take care of children."
When Gu Qiufeng heard this name, his eyes subconsciously darkened.
And Gu Jiu said: "So, your unhappiness is also related to Xie Xin?"
"Doctor, you are so perceptive." Gu Qiufeng couldn't help but said, "Something strange happened at the hospital just now. There was a very familiar figure at the door. I'm not sure if I recognized him wrongly. I haven't seen him for a long time."
"You think it was Xie Xin, so it must have been X who did it." Gu Jiu said thoughtfully.
He looked at the grown-up child in front of him, and his heart was slightly moved. When he was raising this little monster, many teammates said that he had a strong sense of inhumanity.
The so-called inhumanity is reflected in the absence of human emotions.
But Gu Jiu always felt that it was not that he did not have normal human emotional experiences, it was just that sometimes his emotions would be subconsciously restrained and hidden, so it was difficult for people to distinguish them.
Secretly hiding all his joys, sorrows, anger and happiness does not mean that he will not be troubled by his emotions.
The reason why Gu Jiu could see it was because he knew Gu Qiufeng's habits well enough. Obviously, X also knew this, which is why he had been trying to use the identity of "Xie Xin" to break through Gu Qiufeng's defenses for so many years.
Gu Jiu asked again: "Do you have complicated feelings towards your brother Xie Xin?"
After all, they have lived together for many years, and the time spent together day and night can always touch people's hearts. It is impossible for Gu Qiufeng to have no affection for Xie Xin.
"I am conflicted." Gu Qiufeng said, "Xie Xin is an unqualified brother, but he is indeed my brother. He once took care of me and treated me very well. I really can't associate my brother with a complete monster."
Gu Jiu looked at him quietly, and as he had said before, he played the role of a listener conscientiously.
Gu Qiufeng had no way to tell these things to anyone. No matter which player in the game, X was a symbol that brought them endless suffering.
But to Gu Qiufeng, although X was a stranger, Xie Xin was his most familiar relative.
He chose to be a human being, so naturally he also has the so-called seven emotions and six desires. At least in the matter of Xie Xin, Gu Qiufeng was like most people, not knowing what kind of mood he should have when facing this situation.
"My rational opinion tells me that X has done many evil things," Gu Qiufeng said, "but in reality, he has taken care of me for so many years, and I can't feel too much resentment from being involved. I don't even know how to face my brother when the end comes."
He raised the corner of his mouth in self-mockery: "It's like being PUA. In reality, he has given up everything I need - family, friends and even some extremely precious memories. But I can occasionally feel that sometimes he really treats me very well, just like my family."
Gu Jiu spoke slowly after he finished speaking for a long time: "Your feeling is right."
Gu Qiufeng: "What do you mean?"
Gu Jiu said, "You are very special to X. Because X does not admit that he has emotions, I can only say that you are very special to X. The Creator who doesn't care about anything will try his best to assimilate you. Isn't this a kind of specialness?"
"But if that's the case," Gu Qiufeng said, "I can't face him anymore."
Gu Jiu asked: "Do you think Xie Xin is an independent individual? Or is he just a puppet controlled by X?"
Gu Jiu seemed to be thinking: "Perhaps, you shouldn't equate X with Xie Xin. Xie Xin is just a derivative of X, just like the origins of these copies. Some of them are derivatives of X, and some are waste products of metabolism. These things are not the same as X. Moreover, Xie Xin has his own emotions, life experiences and social relationships, which X never had."
"You don't seem to want to admit that Xie Xin is Xie Xin, but you are only looking for Xie Xin's shadow in X. Why do you do this?" Gu Jiu looked at him and said, "Is it because Xie Xin did the same thing as X?"
"No." Gu Qiufeng said subconsciously.
Then his gaze met Gu Jiu's eyes, which were always calm.
Gu Jiu still asked softly: "Why don't you want to admit that Xie Xin is just Xie Xin?"
He had a calm expression, like a gentle yet dignified parent.
Gu Qiufeng then opened his mouth, revealing some emotion in his voice: "Maybe, if Xie Xin was just Xie Xin, he was used by X and killed in the end, which can be regarded as a deserved punishment. But for me, it is like losing a real brother."
He treats Xie Xin as a relative.
This may be unfair to Gu Jiu.
However, Gu Jiu was not angry or sad. He just said, "Xie Xin is a product influenced by X's consciousness. While growing up, he may have been seduced by X to do many wrong things, but he is also learning and growing, learning how to love your brother, and learning how to become a qualified human being. It's just that maybe he himself hasn't realized anything yet, and everything was destroyed by X."
And this is only because X wanted to use Xie Xin's death to sow discord between humans and Gu Qiufeng.
Just like that, Xie Xin died meaninglessly.
He may have been killed by humans, but in reality, the real mastermind was X.
If it weren't for X's plan, perhaps a long time later, Xie Xin would have been influenced by Gu Qiufeng and truly become an independent human individual.
Unfortunately, there is no if. Xie Xin was a prop created by X to restrain Gu Qiufeng. His ending was doomed from the beginning.
A hint of gloom flashed across Gu Qiufeng's eyes: "What I saw was Xie Xin..."
"Now it's X. Perhaps He also knows that the role of Xie Xin is particularly important to you." Gu Jiu said, "So He abandoned the original body and took on the appearance of Xie Xin. In this regard, it was quite successful. Look, aren't you starting to have wild thoughts now?"
The guarded look on Gu Qiufeng's face gradually disappeared: "Maybe I can give him a taste of his own medicine."
"What?" Now it was Gu Jiu's turn to ask.
Gu Qiufeng said: "X recovered Xie Xin. He did not eliminate Xie Xin, but recovered him."
"How can you be sure of this?" Gu Jiu asked curiously, "Have you ever had a direct confrontation with X?"
Gu Qiufeng shook his head and smiled: "But X once went to the trouble of recreating the scene of Xie Xin's death for me, perhaps in order to alienate him. But it backfired and made me realize something was wrong."
"Xie Xin was indeed shot in the footage, but I don't think the bullet could have killed him," said Gu Qiufeng. "When I saw Xie Xin die, he first covered his injured left eye, as if he had discovered something unbelievable, and then he died. Something must have happened between the time he was shot and the time he died."
He paused, "What a coincidence, my left eye also became like this for some reason. I don't think it's a coincidence that Xie Xin's left eye was injured. If X didn't forge it, I'm more inclined to believe that Xie Xin was finally recycled by X himself."
"As for why it was not processed but recycled, that's just my guess." Gu Qiufeng shrugged. "I think X will not miss this opportunity to contain me. Xie Xin will definitely use this bargaining chip to contain me in the future. It's really infuriating."
Gu Jiu said playfully, "So, you think Xie Xin's feelings for you can also restrain X? That's a good idea."
Gu Qiufeng said: "Doesn't the Creator look down on humans? Isn't it fun to let him be defeated by the seven emotions and six desires that he hates the most?"
"It's good that you've regained your fighting spirit." Gu Jiu said, "I'll go make some soup for you. You'll have to work hard tonight."
Gu Qiufeng asked, "Doctor, you have been in the dungeon for ten years. Have you ever seen an NPC like the God's Tears?"
This was also a sudden idea of his.
However, Gu Jiu said: "As long as the God's Tears exist, they will be a thorn in X's side. Of course, we didn't let her take them back into the dungeon."
Gu Qiufeng touched his chin: "Is that so."
Gu Jiu was puzzled: "What's wrong?"
Gu Qiufeng just looked out the window mysteriously and said, "It's nothing, I just suddenly knew the content of my wish."
Seeing that he knew what was going on, Gu Jiu didn't say much and went to the kitchen with the vegetables he had bought.
After dinner, it was time for the live broadcast room to start broadcasting.
Gu Qiufeng first randomly selected a low-level copy and asked the NPCs to help clean up everything in the copy and set up the venue. He also helped send out other players who entered the copy together before officially starting the broadcast.
Just as Gu Qiufeng expected, the number of people watching the girl group audition increased compared to yesterday, and the rewards also increased.
Gu Qiufeng's ranking finally rose to the top five.
But at the same time, Duan Chouyu went out in the dark. City A was very dangerous at night, and some monsters would sneak into the city, so there was no one on the road. She walked quietly to the front of the hospital, and sure enough, she saw the blurry figure again.
Duan Chouyu was startled and was about to take action subconsciously, but someone suddenly patted his shoulder.
"Don't act rashly."
Duan Jiangli, who finally arrived, panted and whispered, "That could be X."
