Tu Si was very cunning. After returning, he handed over the task assigned by the Americans to Zhao Zhensheng.
Zhao Zhensheng was originally the head of the R&D department of Haiming Group. He was very familiar with Haiming's employees. It didn't take him long to find a technician and persuade him to defect by offering him a high salary.
So, two weeks later, Zhao Zhensheng and his technician were apprehended at the meeting point. Two days later, several agents from the Ministry of State Security abducted Tu Si at the Future Map shareholders' meeting. Before the shareholders could react, the Inspection Bureau sealed off Future Map's headquarters and thoroughly investigated all sources of funding.
The Future Atlas, which Tusi had built into a giant ship in just five years, suddenly sank. The crimes involved included tax evasion, bribery, and smuggling, as well as treason!
When the news reached the outside world, it caused an uproar in public opinion.
Tusi has always been loved by the Chinese people for his outstanding ability and handsome appearance. He is an idol in the business world and is admired wherever he goes. If he continues to work hard, he may achieve greater success in the future.
It’s a pity that he had a moment’s wrong thought and stepped into a place from which there was no return.
Standing in the dock, listening to the judge sentence him to death, Tusi looked at the spotlight above his head and felt as if he was still in a dream.
Why? He clearly has a distinguished family background and outstanding abilities, yet why did he fall to this point?
Yes, it all stemmed from that dream! If he hadn't been distracted by the dream and gone to frame Zhuang Li, he wouldn't have made such a formidable enemy, wouldn't have suffered the subsequent blows, and wouldn't have agreed to the Americans' demands to support his precarious company.
His company did have American investment, but it was just normal business dealings. The real spy was Zhao Zhensheng, who at best kept the information secret and provided some cover for the other party.
If he had stopped in time, or even stopped caring about the dream, his life would have been completely different!
Why did you let me have that dream? Why? Tusi slumped limply in the dock, his handsome face twisted with despair.
His father collapsed in the audience, holding his chest, and his mother cried out at the top of her lungs, so sad and helpless.
Tusi finally shed two lines of tears, hugged his head with trembling hands, and said with a sob: "Dad, Mom, I'm sorry! I was wrong!"
One wrong step leads to another. When a shortcut suddenly appeared in front of him, if he had seriously considered where this road led to, heaven or hell, he would not have what he has now.
It's a pity that this realization came too late, and Tusi no longer had the price to pay.
---
On the day Future Maps declared bankruptcy, the news that Tusi had been sentenced to death also made headlines.
When 7480 heard the broadcast coming from the TV, he shook like a leaf in the wind.
It was scared, it was really scared! This was already the third child of destiny that the host had killed! Without knowing the plot at all, the host was able to turn the tide and kill the protagonists. If he knew the plot, what would happen?
I'm afraid every small world will be turned upside down by him!
With this realization, 7480 immediately engraved this prohibition into his core program - [The host must not know the plot, absolutely!]
After repeating this prohibition several times, 7480 finally suppressed the anxiety and fear in his heart. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, then used his hands and feet to crawl into a corner of the small dark room and curl himself up.
Because of staying in this small place for a long time, a round mark has been pressed into the wall.
"Your mood is fluctuating a lot? What are you thinking about?" Zhuang Li suddenly spoke.
7480 was so frightened that his whole body trembled and he almost screamed.
It swallowed and said honestly, "You killed the Child of Destiny again. I'm a little scared."
"What are you afraid of? I won't kill you until I have completely mastered the technology of time travel." Zhuang Li chuckled.
7480 pressed himself against the wall, his fear growing even stronger. Given the host's learning ability, that day would surely arrive sooner rather than later. What should he do? How could he survive in the clutches of this great demon, the host?
Otherwise, I might as well just acknowledge him as my master. For the first time ever, 7480 actually had the thought of betraying the Lord God.
However, the mark placed upon it by the Lord God soon plunged it into a state worse than death. It quickly hugged itself tightly with its chubby arms, whimpering and crying, its fleshy body shaking violently as if it was about to explode.
Zhuang Li stared at it quietly for a while, then transmitted a stream of energy to it.
After destroying three systems, obtaining two golden fingers, and gaining Xuan Ming's luck, he has plenty of energy.
7480 quickly stuffed the glutinous rice ball-like energy into his mouth, and it took more than half an hour before he slowly got better.
"Thank you, master." It said hesitantly.
Zhuang Li ignored it and continued with the experiment at hand.
7480 was a little touched and couldn't help but reveal a little: "Master, do you want to know the specific situation of Tusi?"
Zhuang Li chuckled as he adjusted the microscope. "I've long said that human thought is a product of four-dimensional space, possessing the ability to break free from the constraints of time and space. Human consciousness shares certain characteristics with quantum physics, capable of exceeding the speed of light and unpredictable. When awake, they reside in your brain, but when asleep, they may tunnel into other worlds."
"So dreams could be a reflection of your subconscious, or they could be something you've experienced in another parallel world. The you in that world and the you in this world are actually made up of the same atomic group. At the microscopic scale, two atomic groups can establish coherence and then share information through quantum action at a distance."
"So I concluded that this world's Tusi must have accidentally become quantum entangled with the Tusi of the previous world, and thus gained the memories of that previous world."
Zhuang Li picked up his notebook and carefully wrote down his experimental data. He said casually, "I don't need you to tell me anything. Using scientific methods to observe the world, examine the past, prove the present, and predict the future is the joy of being a scientist. You have a script, so what? Can a completely known future really help you?"
7480: “…”
No! That thing really didn't help at all! Chang Dongming got the script, and Tu Si also got the script, but they both flopped!
7480 covered his face silently, feeling extremely ashamed.
After a long while, it asked curiously, "Master, how can you be so sure that Tusi has regained his memory and not been reborn?"
Zhuang Li scoffed softly, his tone casual, "Rebirth is to be reborn in the same world again. If Tu Si is reborn, then 367, 248, 196 and their hosts should still be here, and Xuan Ming is still here too."
Thinking of this, Zhuang Li was stunned, and a layer of tears appeared in his narrow eyes.
But he quickly adjusted himself and said with great relief, "Xuan Ming is a god in this vast universe. Whether it's a parallel world or a reborn world, he is still himself, not someone else. This is my greatest luck."
7480 didn't dare to say a word. It also knew that Xuan Ming's death was an untouchable wound in the host's heart.
Zhuang Li had no intention of continuing his experiment. He put his notebook back on the bookshelf, took out his phone, and sent a text message to his lover: "I suddenly miss you so much."
The other side immediately replied: [I will be down right away.]
【Hurry up, I'm waiting for you. 】
Less than five minutes after this sentence was sent out, Zhuang Li heard hurried footsteps outside the laboratory. Then, the tempered glass door was swiped open, and Xuan Ming walked in with a serious face, but his ears were red.
"What do you want from me?" His voice was low and serious, as if he was discussing a business matter.
"I want to kiss you." Zhuang Li hugged his lover's neck, put his lips against the other's thin lips, and whispered with a smile.
Xuan Ming took the initiative to move closer and wanted to kiss him back, but the little curly-haired boy tilted his neck to avoid him, with a sly curve at the corner of his mouth.
Xuan Ming took a deep breath and no longer cared about the experimenters around him. He bent down, picked up the little curly-haired boy and put him on his shoulder, then quickly walked into the lounge.
Sooner or later, he will be driven crazy by this person.
---
Twenty years later, an observer suddenly appeared in China.
He stood high in the sky, wearing an invisibility cloak and scanning glasses, silently observing the humans walking around on the surface.
A dense mass of light spots appeared in his sight, which was the signal sent by the chip.
Every single person in this country has a system! What's going on?
The observer was totally shocked!
When he wanted to land on the ground and search thoroughly, dozens of lasers suddenly shot out from the sky and hit his body.
The energy shield, which was always active, saved his life, but his invisibility cloak was damaged by the laser beam and lost its effect. He revealed his figure and fell from a high altitude. The humans on the ground did not find the scene strange at all, shouting "Another foreign spy" while avoiding him from a distance.
The Observer had smashed a large crater in the ground and was about to climb out when several military armored vehicles quickly arrived and surrounded him. The satellite antennas mounted on their roofs were all pointed at him, simultaneously emitting powerful magnetic field beams.
The observer, about to draw his particle gun to counterattack, found himself unable to move, his body completely pinned to the spot by the ultra-strong magnetic field. He was then placed in a cage constructed from a super-strong magnetic field and transported to a military base, where he was handed over to a man named Zhuang Li.
This person would sometimes lock him in a nuclear fusion reactor, sometimes penetrate his body with a collider, and record the experimental data.
The Observers had long been transformed by the Lord God into inhuman weapons. The purpose of weapons was to destroy, not to enjoy life, so they had no emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness. No matter how much pain they endured, there would be no psychological changes.
Zhuang Li would ask the observer for information about the Lord God every day, but the other party never said a word.
They have been completely tamed by the Lord God and are a group of silent lambs.
Zhuang Li finally got tired of it, and pressed the red button late one night, and the black hole formed by the super-strong magnetic field completely swallowed the observer.
"Can you absorb these light balls?" he asked, looking at the fluorescent spots formed after the observer's death.
7480 trembled and said, "Yes, yes, yes, I can do it."
"Then just inhale it, don't waste it." Zhuang Li ordered in a calm tone.
"Okay, I'll absorb it right away." 7480 worked hard to absorb these light balls, but unfortunately the energy obtained would be immediately intercepted by the program set by the host and stored in an energy slot that it would never touch.
Unless traveling through time, 7480 has no power to use this energy.
It used to secretly curse its host in its heart, but now it doesn't even dare to breathe.
After absorbing the light points transformed from the observer, 7480 suddenly screamed, "Master, my number has changed! I am now G7480!"
Zhuang Li understood after a moment's thought, and said with emotion, "It seems I underestimated your systems. To the Lord God, you are not spores, but a group of poisonous insects."
"Master, are the poisonous insects you are talking about the same kind raised by the Miao people?" Although 7480 doesn't understand technology, he likes watching movies, TV shows and reading novels, and he is more knowledgeable about strange things.
It guessed that before it became a system, it must have been a young man engaged in literary and artistic creation.
"Yes, it's the insect. After devouring so many of your kind, your number is upgraded to G. Then, if you devour more of your kind, will your number become F, E, D, or even S?" Zhuang Li smiled with interest.
7480 was stunned for a moment, then felt as if struck by lightning.
"Master, Master! You're right. The best in the system all have numbers starting with S. Some systems even have three S's! So that's how their rankings are determined! This is too cruel!"
"It is said that taskers and systems that have reached the SSS level can go to the trial field to participate in the trial. The final winner can see the Lord God and realize a wish! Master, I, I, could it be that I am an SSS-level tasker who has been transformed? Did the Lord God take away my body and memory?" 7480 asked excitedly.
Zhuang Li said coldly, "You think too much. You are a failed tasker who has been transformed.
"To stand out from the countless taskers, an SSS-level tasker must have traveled through thousands or even tens of thousands of small worlds, completed many tasks, and devoured many of their kind.
"They must have carried immense energy and luck, having already escaped the ranks of spores and become plump lambs. Lambs are sacrifices to the gods, and their ultimate fate is to be devoured by the gods. Only waste like you will be recycled."
7480: “…”
The devil's mouth is so poisonous! But looking at it this way, there's nothing wrong with being a waste.
Zhuang Li closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then chuckled softly, "I know how to save my love. I'm going to become an SSS-level tasker, go to the trial field, pass the trial, meet the Lord God, and then find a way to kill him. System, do you think the gods are immortal?"
7480: "...That should be it?"
"Then I'll do an experiment. This kind of future is interesting." Zhuang Li opened his eyes, and a sharp light radiated from his eyes.
