Chapter 314 Silver Bullet "Come and keep me company, Gin."...
"What is she looking at?" Agent A, who was not far away, wondered.
"I don't know," Agent B said. "Don't worry, it's just a deserted alley. It's a dead end. It won't hurt ordinary people."
"I know. I'm not worried about her," Agent A said helplessly. "I'm worried some assassin might take advantage of this opportunity to get close to her..."
If the killer got close to her, touched her, they would have to kill him.
Agent B understood what he meant and sighed.
TO's boss, Noah's controller... Lin Xi is such an unforgivable person that everyone must kill.
But they had a mission, not only could they not kill her, but they also had to protect her when she was in danger.
It's a bit frustrating.
"By the way, how's the other task force doing?"
The joint investigation team was divided into two action groups. One of them was the one they were currently in, whose main goal was to monitor Lin Xi.
Another task force was established to target Noah, the Operation Noah Countermeasures Team. They recently discovered that Noah had not only hacked into nuclear weapon launchers but also appeared to be monitoring powerful individuals, including dignitaries and political figures. To protect them, the Countermeasures Team had deployed agents to their locations.
"We still haven't found a way to counter Noah." Agent B shook his head. "How bizarre! Such a powerful AI appeared without any warning. It's like it appeared out of thin air... The target has moved!"
In the eyes of the agents, Lin Xi stood at the entrance of the alley for a while, then turned and walked in another direction.
"This direction is the target's residence." Agent A said.
They had already searched Lin Xi's apartment and found nothing of value. The contents were just enough for an average graduate student and an elementary school student. The lab downstairs had also been cleared of all its materials, leaving only the valuable equipment behind.
They watched Lin Xi walk slowly to her apartment.
Then he stopped.
"What are you doing here?" the boss asked. "This place must have been searched."
"Go home." Lin Xi looked up at the building, "Where else should I stay these days?"
"Go home?" Boss smiled and said, "Why not go back to the old house? Your real home is there. This is just a temporary residence."
Lin Xi paused. "Old house?"
"Yes. It's reserved specifically for you," the boss said seductively. "It has everything. The interior furnishings and the plants are all based on our original preferences."
"Where."
"Kyoto. 』
The boss said, "Get rid of these people and go to Kyoto."
He knew what Lin Xi preferred.
Wooden furniture, wisteria flowers, translucent curtains and bright interiors, iced juice, sweets and Chinese food, and the smell of orange blossoms.
Some of them were hobbies he developed, and some... were things Lin Xi already liked.
When the day of complete integration comes, her original personality imprint will be erased, and all her preferences will naturally disappear.
He built that old house specifically for her.
Even the villa that the Wuhuan family gave to Lin Xi thirty years ago... was built by him.
He said that no one in this world understood Lin Xi better than he did. This was not a lie.
"Really?" Lin Xi raised an eyebrow. "You're not talking about that... villa, are you?"
She gave an address.
The BOSS was startled.
How did she know?!
It’s that villa... Could it be that she has recovered her previous memories?
Impossible, he smashed it so badly, there's no way any memory could remain!
"I've been to that villa." Lin Xi smiled. "I met Rum there five years ago."
At that time, she asked Noah to send her the 3D structural analysis of the villa.
Then she discovered that the structure of the house was exactly the same as the one she had lived in before.
At that time, she thought...wasn't it a bit too coincidental?
The boss carefully felt Lin Xi's current emotions.
Very calm, without the anger of being deceived... Fortunately, she did not recover her memory.
If she regained her memory, she would definitely be so angry that she would want to kill him, even if it meant committing suicide...
After all, that's what she did back then.
The bone-gnawing resentment left the boss with lingering fears.
"Why are you so nervous?" Lin Xi walked into the building. "Is there a problem?"
"Can you... feel my mood?"
"Of course, we are alone."
"You are me and I am you. Of course I can sense your emotions." Lin Xi shook her head. "Is there something hidden in that house?"
"No... just some weapons and manpower that can help us." said the boss.
Not only that, there are also some spare bodies without their own consciousness.
If he could trick Lin Xi there, he would have several more controllable backup bodies after the fusion was completed.
Those bodies are extremely precious. Just like the body Lin Xi is using now, they are bodies that he has cultivated with great effort and are most compatible with his consciousness.
"Weapons? Manpower? Not necessary." Lin Xi smiled. "But you're right. It'll get boring if you stay alone for too long. Besides, Coconut likes to be lively."
She opened the door and saw familiar furnishings, but Lin Xi could see signs of having been moved.
I haven't been home for more than 20 days and I feel like there is no human touch in my home.
She sat on the sofa holding Coconut, took out her cell phone, typed in a number and dialed it.
The phone rang twice and then it connected.
“…”
The other party remained silent.
"Come and keep me company, Gin." Lin Xi leaned back relaxedly, squinting his eyes as he watched the sunlight filtering through the window, creating streaks of light under the influence of the floating dust in the room.
"…Are you crazy?"
"Are you crazy?"
Two voices sounded at the same time, making Lin Xi couldn't help but laugh.
"Why not?" she said. "I told you to come, and no one would dare to stop you. Oh, I'm out of prison, you know? There are a lot of people out there who want to kill me."
"I need you to protect me, close protection."
There was silence for a long time.
"……good."
"I'm at home, just come over."
"good."
The phone was hung up.
BOSS crashed.
"Why did you call him here?"
"He's hiding well out there! He's the most loyal and capable one, and he'll never betray me. He's our lifeblood!"
"As long as he wants, none of the official agencies can find him. If you call him here now, won't you be exposing him to the guns of others?"
"Protect me." Lin Xi smiled and shook her head. "There are so many people outside watching covetously. I'm really afraid of death."
"But...you..."
The boss was furious.
He never dreamed that Lin Xi would call Gin over!
Gin was his most capable assistant. He hadn't betrayed him once in 4,752 resets! Even in the worst of situations, he was willing to stick with him through it all. Loyalty was like a brand, etched into his soul.
This is the character setting.
Gin's character setting determines that he will be loyal.
So no matter what, he will be loyal.
BOSS believed that no matter how difficult the task was, he would do it for him, including helping him escape surveillance and regain power after the fusion.
"Don't be angry, don't be angry." Lin Xi comforted him, "I know what you're worried about. You're also worried that he'll be hurt by the joint investigation team, right?"
"But think about it, there's more than just the joint investigation team out there, there's also Akai Shuichi."
"You heard what I asked him today, didn't you? He has his own perspective, and it's not the FBI's. Although he was ruthless and decisive in killing people when he was in the organization, he was actually very red and dreamed of destroying the organization."
"He almost found an opportunity to kill me last time. If Gin hadn't been by my side, I would have really died."
"Akai Shuichi is not as weak as the killer today. He is not something the joint investigation team can deal with. Only Gin can deal with him, so I called him over."
The boss thought about it and felt that it was true.
He had reset more than 4,700 times, and died at the hands of Shuichi Akai many times, so he naturally knew how powerful that man was.
To him, that man had become a nightmare.
And what if he couldn't break through the siege after the fusion? He would have to find a helper.
"But will the Joint Investigation Team let him come?"
Lin Xi's lips curled up into a faint smile.
"The nuclear weapons are in my hands, and they will agree to any request I make."
"Noah is already negotiating terms with them."
"Let's make something to eat first?"
She got up and went to the kitchen.
Unfortunately, I haven’t been back for more than 20 days and the vegetables in the refrigerator are no longer fresh.
She had no choice but to order sushi takeout.
Thinking that Gin was coming, she ordered takeout for four people.
"This is for four people. Can you finish it?"
"Why can't you finish it?" Lin Xi said, "Gin can eat the amount of two people by himself, but I haven't completely accepted you yet, so we are two people now!"
"Just enough for four people."
Boss: "..."
Although it is the consciousness of two people, there is only one!
Lin Xi poured some cat food for Coco Cat.
"Speaking of which, there's something important I haven't asked you."
She said, “Why would I choose this time to reset?”
The boss was stunned by the sudden question.
"I've always been very confused." Lin Xi continued, "Since I knew I was the villain, in order to survive, I would definitely reset the time back to a point before the protagonist became powerful, such as before Kudo Shinichi took APTX4869. But when I 'traveled' here, it was the time when Miyano Shiho defected."
"Why? Is she special?"
BOSS brain teaser.
He actually reset it much earlier than that, before 1950.
It was also nine years ago that Lin Xi's consciousness was summoned.
He trained her carefully for nine years, but something unexpected happened... Lin Xi launched a fierce resistance, not only destroying his plan to control the world, but also setting himself on fire.
He rescued her from the brink of death, cured her, and erased her memory again. It was already half a year ago.
It happened to be the time when Miyano Shiho defected.
