Chapter 74 But You Are Stifling
Ruan Xingyue stared at the disconnected page and pondered for only three seconds.
"Gu Xing, can you go there for me?" Ruan Xingyue asked sincerely, "I can't leave right now."
Gu Xing filled the water tank and said, "No problem, I'll drive Ji Ling's car."
"Thank you." Ruan Xingyue took a deep breath and temporarily put aside her worries.
Gu Xing walked towards the bedroom and suddenly stopped: "How are you going to settle him?"
Lu Fuchuan, with a wound on his hip, was determined to swim out with his bare hands and would never go back to Lenan Island obediently.
But now, danger is lurking everywhere, and the truth behind Lu Tian’s car accident is still unknown.
Lu Fuchuan is not allowed to show up in front of others carelessly.
Gu Xing glanced around Ruan Xingyue's living room.
Ruan Xingyue made a quick decision: "It's not possible for me to do this either. Lu Tian's matter hasn't been resolved yet, and Lu Yiman will keep a closer eye on me. Their relationship as aunt and nephew is like water and fire."
She looked at Gu Xing and said, "Just give him an identity, like your distant cousin, and ask him to look after him for a while."
Gu Xing nodded, pushed the door open and went in in front of Ruan Xingyue.
Ruan Xingmian, who was deprived of oxygen due to kissing, became drowsy while waiting for water.
Hearing footsteps, he opened one eye, then closed it again tiredly.
The next second, he was helped up, but his body was still weak and limp.
From Gu Xing's perspective.
The moment the straw touched the lower lip, the eyelashes stuck to the lower eyelid like two well-behaved little fans, and gentle ripples appeared in the throat as the swallowing movement occurred.
After drinking half a glass of water, Ruan Xingmian tilted her head, spit out the straw, and snorted lightly. She didn't want to drink anymore.
Gu Xing put down the cup of water and carried the person back to the pillow.
As he leaned over, his breath brushed the warm skin of her cheek. In the light of the night light, his eyes fell on the crystal drops of water on her lips.
The eyes, like the snow-capped mountains in the distance, dimmed by seven or eight points.
He stared for a few seconds, gently tucked the corner of the quilt, stood up and walked out.
He gripped the door handle with his fingers, paused for two seconds, and turned back.
The moment the lips fell, the tip of the tongue first touched the coolness, like holding the melted snow on the branches in early spring, or like holding the petals soaked in morning dew, and kissing away all the water droplets in a moment.
Ruan Xingmian hummed unconsciously.
Gu Xing finally got up and left the bedroom with brisk steps.
Looking closely, the corners of his cold lips curved slightly.
The city at five in the morning is like a vinyl record with the muted button pressed.
The street lights were still on, casting a dim glow in the mist, which intertwined with the dawn light in the sky to form a hazy veil.
Gu Xing drove alone away from Pingba District, which was about to wake up.
Turing excitedly went online: "See, didn't you wake up?! My trick of taking advantage of the situation worked! Those killers mistook Lu Tian for Lu Fuchuan. They're determined to kill him. I just came back from the hospital, and according to the emergency data, Lu Tian will most likely become a vegetable!"
Gu Xing gripped the steering wheel with both hands: "Turing, can you please turn on the surveillance footage of last night's accident?"
Turing said weakly, "No, when Ruan Xingyue received the call from the assistant, I thought about looking for surveillance footage right away, but unfortunately, there was nothing."
Gu Xing tapped the steering wheel, looking straight ahead, his face unable to tell whether he believed Turing's words or not.
He abruptly changed the subject, "Turing, can you control my steering wheel? Like an intelligent self-driving car."
When Turing heard the word "intelligence", he thought it was a compliment.
He said excitedly: "Gu Xing, if you believe me, I can do it! I'm the smartest!"
The car drove onto the first bridge and there was very little traffic.
There were no vehicles ahead, so Gu Xing slowly let go of the steering wheel: "Turing, are you ready?"
Turing: "Ready!"
Gu Xing completely let go, and said with a slight pout, "Speed up to 110."
Turing: "Received, executed immediately."
Gu Xing stared at the speedometer, watching it slowly increase from 90 to 110.
The slender fingers were twisting unconsciously, with an unclear expression.
The car rushed forward steadily, driving straight and without deviation.
Gu Xing's eyes dimmed slightly. He took back the steering wheel, lightly pressed the brake, slowed down the car, and took back the initiative.
His tone grew deeper and deeper. "Turing, tell me the truth. Is Lu Tian's car accident directly related to you?"
Turing's brain crashed for three seconds as it attempted to understand human language: "Gu Xing, I only listened to you. I was fanning the flames online, but I had no direct involvement."
Gu Xing's tone became aggressive: "Isn't there more than just your system in this world?"
It sounded as if it was frozen in time: "Besides, that system's capabilities far exceed yours."
Turing: "..."
If Turing could transform into a human, I'm afraid he would only be able to make a stunned expression at this moment, staring blankly at Gu Xing, and sighing that he is the strongest brain in the world in the past 5,000 years.
Gu Xing asked his ultimate question: "What is your purpose in pursuing a strong server?"
Turing was silent for about ten seconds.
This time is not long.
Gu Xing is very patient.
He saw the message in Ruan Xingyue's notebook last night. The whole page was filled with the word "utilitarianism".
Gu Xing suddenly had an epiphany.
Turing is a humane system.
Its behavior cannot be understood by programmed rules.
Instead, we should study its actions from the perspective of studying human nature.
So, if it wants a strong server, it must have its purpose.
Moreover, this purpose is of vital importance to it and is closely related to its survival.
"Gu Xing, has anyone ever praised you for being smart?"
"Turing, let's get back to the point. I don't have time to waste on you."
"Yes, there is more than one system in this world." Turing's voice became sad, and he even composed a piece of erhu music called Erquan Yingyue for himself.
"Originally, each world had its own system, just like each carrot had its own hole. This world was mine during the chaotic period. Back then, there was no word for 'system'. People called me the Way of Heaven. For the sake of human development and world harmony, the Way of Heaven would warn people through natural disasters, thunder and fire. I was young and naive back then..."
As the music played, Turing's voice took on a genuine sadness: "I'm full of energy every day. Because of my efforts, my world has developed incredibly rapidly. It's only taken five thousand years for us to move from the Stone Age to the Electrical Age. You know, many slower-developing worlds have been stuck in the Iron Age for ten thousand years. But my world, with its endless stream of talented people, is about to leap into the Information Age, powered by the internet, surpassing all other worlds in the universe."
Suddenly, its voice became painful and angry: "Until I took in a stray system that was fleeing due to the collapse of the world. It turned its back on me and planned for many years to drive me out of this world and replace me."
Gu Xing quickly integrated the information: "The system chose to cooperate with humans and successfully expelled you."
"Yes, according to the general principles of the world system, the system cannot directly interfere with the development of human society, let alone privately connect with humans and become a tool for humans to change the main line of the world."
Turing turned off the sad music and replaced it with a soothing one. "Gu Xing, if it weren't for the malicious system's interference, our world would have been the first to enter the full information age. In your freshman year, you would have met Mianmian when she came to send Ruan Xingyue to school, and fell in love with her at first sight. But you were reserved and kept silent..."
Gu Xing frowned.
Turing coughed like a human to ease the awkwardness: "You knew she liked you, but because she was still young and in high school, you coldly rejected her admiring gaze until she was admitted to the Teachers College next door..."
Gu Xing seemed not to be listening at all.
His frown deepened: "Turing, when did you lose control of this world?"
He silently repeated the word "Mianmian" twice in his heart.
Turing said solemnly and sadly, "Just as you imagined, fourteen years ago, when Mianmian was six years old, she had a car accident."
