Chapter 79 (Catching Bugs)
In just three days, Wuyan Tower crossed thousands of units of data and moved its headquarters from its original location to a place on the calm sea.
At that time, the base of the tower was only 600 meters away from the sea.
"You're leaving."
Shen Jian was on the terrace at the top of the tower. He turned his head to look at the leader and nodded calmly, "Yes."
After a pause, Shen Jian added, “Eighty minutes later, when Solomon has finished configuring, Ark will follow me.”
The leader was surprised: "...Ark?"
Shen Jian shook his head, "I thought Shen An and the others told you when they exchanged information with you."
The leader looked cold, "That's not the case."
"The Ark is a storage device." Shen Jian explained, "The Ark in the source world is not yet fully built, so we can only drag this one."
Shen Jian's back was straight, and the communicator beside his ear was flashing a very faint white light. He estimated the time and said slowly, "The chess pieces were put on the field too quickly, and even the infrastructure was not gathered together. We can only piece it together."
The leader was silent for a while, his hands on the fence, and the sea breeze slowly blew his long hair.
Shen Jian did not ask the leader how he got here through hundreds of defense lines in the blocking area, the answer was obvious.
But he didn't need to say anything. After all, this was not his Wuyan Tower. He didn't have the energy to think about it again. What did Chen An and the others mean by releasing their leader?
"I will take you away." Shen Jian said calmly, "Otherwise, next time you come, you will be finished with them."
The leader glanced at Shen Jian, and for a long while silently pulled out a slightly sarcastic smile, "If your memory is correct, our original contract..."
"I will find a way to kill you, right?" Shen Jian interrupted him and glanced at the sea surface close to where the Wuyan Tower was parked.
Devices have been sunk to the bottom of the sea, deploying ultrasonic waves and odorless dust to drive away fish and plankton. Machines that look like guppies and are painted with camouflage paint are jumping around on the sea surface.
It was very lively, completely different from the eerie peace inside the Wuyan Tower at this moment.
"But I didn't say I would do it then." The young leader said calmly, "I still have hundreds of years of work to do. You just want to end it all... Sir, there is no such thing as a good thing."
The leader stopped talking, his dark eyes staring deeply at Shen Jian.
Three minutes later, Shen Jian sighed resignedly.
He raised his hand slightly, took a step back, and the virtual light of the architecture quickly simulated a blue screen, "One thing."
The leader stood where he was, uttered a long “hmm”, held his sword in his right hand, and stood straight.
He didn’t look at Shen Jian, his eyes fell on the boundless sky in the distance.
"...Do you think the world has consciousness?" Shen Jian asked the leader calmly.
"What?" The leader took a moment to react.
Shen Jian shook his head slightly, silently signaling the leader to look at the blue screen.
The data rotates, listing layer upon layer of analysis charts and data, as well as the simulation of scenarios that have been happening all the time during this period.
Solomon calculated the existence of isotopes and even trinos tens of millions of times, and never once did the so-called world line collapse. However, this concept exists in everyone's mind.
Shen Jian turned his head slightly and looked at the leader who was holding the hilt of his sword calmly.
He smiled and said, "You should know what I mean. And, although you don't know, I have a few years of lawyer's memory. Before, I thought that I was not the leader himself."
"The only variable is the four years you traveled through."
"But time is calculated from the moment I woke up, so where did this memory of the lawyer come from?"
Shen Jian seemed to be unconcerned about his unfounded memories, and he defined it with a smile, “It seems that our enemy this time is a real god.”
After a pause, Shen Jian twitched his mouth, "...In fact, I didn't expect this situation. Don't look at me with the expression you give to a scumbag who cheated on a child."
The leader frowned tightly and kept repeating the results of millions of experiments as important evidence.
If a result does not exist yet, but someone has told you about it, this is called prophecy. But what if everyone in the world has been told and has believed it deeply?
The leader's lips straightened, and he raised his head slightly and looked towards the distant sky.
Then there is only one possibility.
After a while, the leader tightened his grip on his sword and said calmly, "Okay."
Shen Jian touched the headset and smiled, “Happy cooperation.”
The guppies swam back one after another, splashing water, and the sunlight shone brightly on the sea.
Shen Jian began to list the uses of the leader: “After you go back, the files will be yours.”
"Your subordinates will think I am usurping power."
"No, I will keep them under control."
The leader raised his eyebrows and looked away as if nothing had happened. "Really? Didn't you just sign the agreement with your subordinates? I remember the tenth article was 'Subordinates have priority in tasks assigned by the leader'."
Shen Jian’s smile froze.
Damn it, how did the leader know the contents of that agreement?
...Is that god so idle?! He even reveals such trivial matters!
The leader added calmly, "I don't know whose cadres are like this, but they have to fight for a task on their own, haha."
Chen Jian's smile became even more rigid, and he looked away with difficulty, trying to ignore the suppressed sighs that suddenly came out of the headset.
Ever since the Awakening Cloud connected to the Wuyan Tower, every direct descendant of the Source World had been listening in, and Shen Jian knew it very well… He seemed much more guilty.
"Which leader?" Shen An stood behind Shen Jian holding a black-covered book. He only heard the last sentence and continued, "Why are you so lacking in public morality?"
Shen Jian pretended not to hear.
Shen An handed the book to Shen Jian, “Your Majesty, this is the starter of the Ark.”
Shen Jian flipped through it and found the first page. On it was the signature of Shen Jian from this world, and a familiar little turtle.
Shen Jian: “…”
A few days ago, he drew one for the silver-haired leader; now, it's his turn, right? Then again, why are they all little turtles?
It seemed that inferior ink was deliberately used, and the years of sedimentation caused it to gradually dry up, and two of the turtle's four claws were broken.
It almost instantly reminds people that the person who drew the pattern has left.
Shen Jian stroked the obviously faded ink, and the desire for revenge that had not yet been ignited was suppressed by the subtle pain that silently emerged.
He lowered his eyes and said calmly, "It seems that your husband supports you very much... Next, the choice."
Otherwise, he would never have expressed it silently in such a clumsy but very touching way... showing weakness. The young leader could almost see the tiny words in the blank space, saying "Let them be".
The leader raised his eyes and observed Shen Jian for a while, confirming that his emotional fluctuations were still within the normal range, and then slowly retracted his gaze.
He had to make sure that Shen Jian would not let some personal emotions affect his original choice.
Otherwise, after arriving in the source world, whether it is the leader who dominates the Wuyan Tower, or the cadres who are the leaders... it is still an unknown variable. Obviously, the other party has not wavered from the beginning.
The leader changed his posture and looked at Shen Jian with a look of subtle appreciation.
It seems that his first test just now was a means for the other party to appease his subordinates - that headset should be connected to the internal communication channel of the source world, right?
In other words, all the senior officials of Wuyan Tower heard the leader's helpless words but did not refute them, right?
The leader stroked the hilt of his sword, remembering the look in Shen Jian's eyes just now. Perhaps after reaching Shen Jian's tower, he would see a good show?
The leader recalled the drama that Shen Jian had put on when he first met him, and finally he became interested in her personally.
No subordinate would really think that a leader would allow his subordinates to disrupt his style of doing things again and again, interfere with his decision-making, or even make decisions without his permission...
Even if everything done does in fact benefit the leader?
Even though they are far more loyal than the knights of ancient times?
No way, no way?
The leader glanced at Shen Jian, opened his lips, and asked silently, “How did you train your subordinates?”
Shen Jian cast his eyes the first second the leader changed his movements, and in an instant he saw the leader's lip shape.
Shen Jian was silent for a while, and sincerely felt that he should not learn lip reading, otherwise he could avoid an awkward conversation now.
In fact, Shen Jian admitted that he was indeed a little... merciful at first, but didn't he get back to his normal state quickly?
The young leader's guilt at this moment was much more real than what he had just shown, and he quickly avoided the leader's gaze.
He coughed lightly, and the faint sadness was washed away, "Chen An."
Shen An responded softly.
He was surprised just now, and realized that Shen Jian had obtained some information from the pages of the book.
The chestnut-haired man smiled softly and said innocently, "Really? We have never opened this book. How long will you be gone?"
"Forty minutes." Shen Jian said, "The Ark will be briefly compressed into unequally distorted fragments by the god who is unwilling to land, and will take advantage of the time-travel gate of the space-time wall to open it, like electrons flowing between each other."
"Then I will activate the fall system after you leave." Shen An took a step back and bent slightly, placing his right hand on his heart.
His voice was soft and gentle. "Thank you, Mr. from another world. We are actually very glad that you can come. The leader next to you was too calm and we didn't have a chance to say anything soft."
The leader glanced at Shen An, "Oh, blame me?"
"I dare not." Shen An replied with a smile, looking very innocent.
Shen Jian said nothing, just looked at the sea far away.
The two people behind him gradually stopped communicating and looked at Shen Jian one by one.
Two hours, or maybe four hours. In short, after Chen Jian leaves, within today, the Wuyan Tower will fall into the sea where even the tiny life has been driven away, as if it had never existed.
A large-scale organization has begun to take shape. The checks and balances among the various parties have been done very well by the leader and the Wuyan Tower during the time when Shen Jian disappeared. The reconstruction project is underway, and it seems that the world is no different with or without the Wuyan Tower.
Shen Jian stood very steadily.
The first time Shen Jian died, Wu Yan Tower chose collective suicide.
Now, after a long mission, another simple Wuyan Tower has finally obtained the qualification to be buried with their leader.
Shen Jian felt that he shouldn’t stop it.
The silence lasted for a long time.
Shen An always stood behind the two leaders.
After the dim blue screen disappeared, he finally spoke the last sentence, "In fact, you have a very good relationship with our husband."
Shen Jian hummed and said, "I know."
Otherwise, how could I be willing to die for him?
