003 expanded the monitoring range of the AI. After discovering that her mental strength was in an extremely unstable state and that her mental sea could shatter and disappear at any time, what could be done?
The database was operating at high speed, and a solution was sought. Ultimately, only one method was found to be feasible…
Upon regaining consciousness, Lian Han, with a splitting headache, uttered the first words: "Xiao Ya, you almost killed me!"
[Xiao Han, um—] Xiao Ya felt guilty. [I was so excited when I saw you draw the Destruction talent that I forgot to remind you to guard your mind.]
Lian Han's lips twitched. "Oh, right. You just forgot. Did you know I almost had my consciousness shattered?"
[I was wrong, Xiaohan.] Knowing she had been too careless this time, System Xiaoya's voice was low.
Hearing this, even Lian Han felt a little guilty and waved his hand, "Alright, alright. I didn't mean to blame you. Anyway, I'm fine now, it's just that I might not be able to use my mental power for the next few days. Compared to obtaining the Destruction Source Technique, that's nothing."
However, he detected that the host's mental energy fluctuations suddenly stopped several times during the coma, which almost led to disaster.
Xiao Ya felt deeply guilty, then weakly said, "[This is really a problem. Xiao Han, while you were unconscious—003 sent a message to the outside world; the content and destination are unknown.]"
[Can the AI send messages to the outside world without its owner's permission?]
[This was likely an emergency measure taken by 003 after determining that the owner was in danger.] Although she had already recovered before the measure took effect.
[I'll ask her when we get out.]
[Okay. I'll take a look at your spiritual sea of consciousness later, and you should go check it out soon.]
[I see. ]
Lian Han replied, then focused his mind on his spiritual sea.
Her sea of consciousness had changed drastically; it was neither white nor purple, but pitch black. However, upon closer inspection, one could see two stars, one white and one purple, faintly shimmering in the darkness, their light gradually growing stronger.
[Xiaoya, this is the Sea of Consciousness...]
[This is likely the result of a struggle between two forces. According to system detection, your mental sea of consciousness is gradually stabilizing. Following this trend, once it fully stabilizes, Xiaohan, your mental sea of consciousness will be more than three times more stable than before.]
Lian Han was shocked. For those with spiritual power, the more stable their sea of consciousness, the better, so as to better protect themselves from the spiritual attacks of others. However, 003 had already evaluated Lian Han's previous sea of consciousness, and if we only consider the degree of its stability, she could rank in the top ten among her peers.
Now it's three times more stable? That's amazing!
[Don't get agitated. There are still things outside waiting for you to handle. Remember, you can't use your mental powers for now.]
[knew. ]
With his eyes slightly open, Lian Han's first sight was of a dark green liquid, which was a body repair fluid.
Medical pods are essential first-aid facilities in every household, even in slums, except that the medical pods here are the most basic kind. Even the body repair fluid has many impurities—normal repair fluid is light green, and the lighter the color, the fewer impurities.
It's normal that 003 detected that she was in danger and sent her in.
Lian Han's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and then she saw the door of the medical pod open. A mechanical voice sounded, "Your body has returned to normal. The medical pod is now open. Please leave as soon as possible."
"As if anyone really wants to lie in there." Lian Han thought to himself as he climbed out of the medical pod. "003, thanks."
"What happened to Master? How could his sea of consciousness be damaged?"
"I'm fine now." Lian Han walked towards the bedroom, intending to take a shower first to wash off the repair fluid on her body. It is said that advanced medical pods have built-in body cleaning functions, but hers obviously does not have this feature.
After changing into his worn-out uniform, Lian Han finally had time to open his smart device and check the message records.
Uncle Colin sent a lot of messages, all asking why she didn't reply, and there were also two messages from the 003 spin-off, the recipient of which was Hui.
And the content—Xinluo?
Moonlight?
Lian Han: ? ? ?
"What is this thing? 003, what mischief have you gotten yourself into now?"
"One of the restricted behaviors is that the owner does not need to pay attention to him."
Lian Han was speechless. Two user restriction behaviors that she hadn't encountered in the past five or six years had suddenly appeared in the last two days? She mustn't find out who set up this mess!
[Xiaohan, pay attention to the sending time. One of these times is when you first fell unconscious, when your mental strength was extremely unstable; the other is shortly before you woke up, when your mental strength was stabilizing.]
[That's not right either. Don't underestimate me just because I'm not very literate. "Xin" means the sun, or the sun and stars about to rise. Let's say it's used to describe me, for now. "Xin Luo" means I'm in danger, on the verge of collapse. But what about "Yue Ming"? The sun and stars setting means night, and the moon only appears at night. It's still talking about night. It's completely nonsensical.]
Xiaoya paused for a moment, then said, "[You'll find out eventually.]"
[That's true. Random guesses are pointless. Sooner or later, they'll brainwash 003.]
...
"The night is beautiful."
The girl walked through the alley, ignoring the shouts, groans, and cries for help around her, letting the faint red stains fall on her body, and occasionally looking up at the red moon in the night sky.
The blood-red full moon is an ominous sign, but it is perfectly suited as a satellite of the Black Prison Star.
Because this is a planet shrouded in blood and sin.
"The moonlight was just as beautiful that night." The girl was unusually dressed today in a white gauze dress, with a matching white veil covering her face, both of which were veiled in a faint red glow under the red moon.
She walked in, covered in blood, like a grim reaper emerging from hell.
Xiaoya and 003 remained surprisingly silent, not daring to interrupt her self-talk.
Just kidding, right now Xiao Han (the master) is a monster who will die if she messes with anyone, okay?
If Lian Han was usually as tense as a string, then now she had relaxed that string, letting herself be enveloped by long-accumulated negative emotions, letting herself be immersed in sorrow and hatred. At this moment, Lian Han was beautiful, insane, and dangerous.
Only by venting those emotions can she return to her normal self. And the targets of her venting—even if they die, they deserve it.
Xiao Rui, that was her younger brother, the only person she cared about, the one she was willing to protect with her life. Yet, he sacrificed himself to protect her…
Xiaoya felt that even if that incident had happened while she was unconscious, she would never forgive herself.
"Don't you think a few fireworks would be a perfect complement to this moonlight?"
[Uh-huh! ]
003, who thought she was talking to her, paused for a moment and hesitated, saying, "Master has already planned to leave, why risk adding uncertainty to yourself?"
Xiao Ya: […Xiao Han, don't get angry with the program, it's not worth it.]
Lian Han slightly curled his lips into a smile devoid of warmth. "The red moon has emerged, so the grand feast should begin."
A slaughter feast!
