When Song Yu woke up, he was trapped in a blue suspended cube. This place seems like a huge cage. The whole cage is made of a very strange material, and silvery light is constantly flowing in it.
Next to it is a dark world.
He looked down expressionlessly and saw that his wrist was wrapped in a white tube, the end of which was embedded in the edge of the cube.
It was a little too quiet around here.
Song Yu was very calm.
In this different-dimensional space, the sharp and stimulating pain before fainting disappeared, and the feeling of the soul being twisted and torn apart also disappeared.
He sat in the center of the cube, lowering his eyes to look at the thing on his wrist. The tube seemed to be wrapped around the surface of his wrist, but when he moved, he could clearly feel the pain. On the invisible side that was close to the skin, there were many needle-like things that had penetrated deep into his blood vessels, as if trying to absorb something from his body.
Song Yu frowned.
"Host……"
008's weak voice was heard in the space, with a timid and guilty tone that had not been heard for a long time.
Song Yu ignored him and looked at the clothes he was wearing. They were hospital gowns, so he must have fainted in the real world and was in the hospital now?
Song Yu twitched the corner of his mouth, giving that kind of sarcastic and mocking smile that is familiar to people who don't understand him. But it was fleeting. He seemed to want to make the pain more real. He twisted his wrist and said to 008 calmly, "We are old friends. Sit down and talk clearly."
008 hesitated to speak, shrank back, and finally chose to show up in front of Song Yu. The data was merged bit by bit, and the facial features were exactly the same, with light-colored hair and light-colored pupils, but 008 looked as clean and innocent as a little white rabbit. It was the same as the first time Song Yu saw him when she woke up in the ward.
The sick and pitiful "boy" shook his body, then sat cross-legged quietly opposite him.
Their completely different temperaments make them look more like twins.
The elder brother is cold and the younger brother is soft and sweet.
Song Yu looked at him quietly.
008 had a complicated expression and sighed.
Things have come to this point, there is no need to say anything else, it said: "Host, you stay here for a while, anyway we can't erase you, after everything is over we will send you back to your original world."
After a pause, 008 added: "Song Ling's world."
Song Yu asked back: "End? What end?"
He looked down at his wrist and raised it up: "You have sent me away twice. I was originally from this world. You sent me away when I was six, and I came back when I was fifteen. Now you want to send me away again?"
008 choked. He liked to bite his lips when he was distressed, and his pearly teeth left a faint mark on his pink lips.
Song Yu said calmly, "Don't do such a feminine thing against my face."
008: "..."
Perhaps because he felt guilty, he couldn't get angry with Song Yu.
There were only two of them in the entire space.
008 frowned, looking bitter, and said, "Who could have thought that things would come to this. After this, the Lord God will probably never dare to covet the power of the Son of Destiny again."
Song Yu: "Child of Destiny? Are you talking about Xie Sui?"
008 tried to laugh, but it looked uglier than crying: "Well, you can say that."
"What on earth do you want to do?"
008 slumped down, looking pitiful: "We just want to collect some love and hate points, there is no need to go through so much trouble."
It stretched out its hands, spread them forward, and slowly gathered a book in its palms. The book opened automatically, and black words scrolled out line by line on it. It was "Gentle Control".
Song Yu was silent.
008 said: "My creator is a mad scientist. In the later interstellar era, it is generally believed that the spirit is the root of 'human'. He also found the algorithm of the soul from the genetic code, so he proposed a concept of pursuing immortality and constructed a digital spiritual world where the soul can live forever after the body dies. However, the energy required to build this virtual world became a problem. The resources in our world are simply not enough, so he set his sights on other worlds."
"My birth, and even the birth of our entire system, was caused by this. But later, my creator suddenly gave up, as if he had realized something. Not long after, that world also perished."
He is just an AI, an artificial intelligence. He is not very affected by the disappearance of a world or the annihilation of an advanced civilization.
This is the law of the universe, and those past events will be sealed in the vast history.
"We were left behind in the lower world, and then picked up by someone, who is my current master."
008 paused, unsure of what to say to his master.
"My master was quite miserable before. Only after he got us did his fortune begin to change. Unlike my creator, my master does not understand the true nature of the Rubik's Cube, nor does he want to understand. What he wants from the beginning to the end is other people's luck."
"If you harvest all of a person's love and hate, you can control his destiny. He doesn't have the ability to collect the love and hate of the entire world like my creator, so he is eyeing the most powerful person."
"That's what we call a protagonist, someone who is favored by the world's consciousness."
"We went to many small worlds and we all did this. We would change some small actions based on that person's timeline and put some villains that he shouldn't have met around him. After collecting enough hatred points, we would match the data to find a soul lover. The system would enter the mind of the selected person, manipulate consciousness, get close to the main character, and then gain all his love."
Song Yu laughed when he heard this.
If this were put in a novel, it would probably be the story of a loser's counterattack in life. He even helped to think of the copy. An ordinary boy suddenly obtained a mysterious and powerful system one day, collected other people's luck, and then began his brilliant and extraordinary life.
"Your master is the Lord God you keep talking about? Is he worthy of being called God?"
008 corrected him, "You are not allowed to say that about my master."
Song Yu said: "You guys wrote "Gentle Control", right?"
008 started biting his lip again.
Song Yu asked, "Can your master arrange such a crazy plot?"
008 said dissatisfiedly: "...Master has consulted a lot, and this is the plot arrangement that can best arouse Xie Sui's hatred."
Song Yu: "Oh."
He asked, "What will happen to those people after their luck is taken away by your master?"
008 shook his head and said, "We don't know what happened next."
Song Yu asked again: "Does the protagonist of the previous world know about your existence?"
008 shook his head again: "I don't know. People who are favored by the world consciousness are very strong in terms of mental strength. Once they find out, it will bring us a lot of trouble."
Song Yu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt fortunate that he had told Xie Sui about 008 and the system when he confessed to her.
After knowing the whole story, Song Yu calmed down. He had always been curious about the origin of the system. Sure enough, such technology belonged to an advanced civilization that had been destroyed by the universe.
He was originally surprised that if he had such ability, why would he be so despicable and obsessed with a person's love and hate.
Now I understand that the person who could do this series of disgusting things is just a loser who got a sudden treasure.
Song Yu looked around and recalled 008's declaration of a so-called "humane system" at the beginning. He felt it was ironic: "So you have always been a gang, making it seem so weird. To put it bluntly, it is illegal invasion, occupation and theft."
008 choked. Its creator had instilled in it the idea that taking over and stealing were wrong, but as a system, the first line of data written into it was absolute obedience.
It didn't know how to refute, so it could only give up and say: "You will go to another world soon anyway. Think whatever you want."
Song Yu looked at him a few more times, touched the tube on his left wrist with his right hand, and said lightly: "Why do you tell me everything?"
008 looked at him timidly, thought for a while, and said sadly: "Actually, I quite like you..."
Song Yu smiled: "Oh."
Thinking that Song Yu's memory would be erased by then, 008 simply spoke out his frustrations: "My master is too ambitious. How could the child of destiny in the previous world be so approachable? In the previous life, Xie Sui was completely out of the plot. Not only was it love, but also hatred. Many of the harms we planned, including him being kicked out of the Xie family and imprisoned, were not realized. He was too powerful... Xie Sui, it seems, has never had any extreme emotions in his life, as if he lacks emotions."
"We also gained a little hatred from him when he was a child and had not yet grown up. Later, when he grew up, he had neither love nor hatred, and everything was out of control. This book "Gentle Control" that I wrote as a reference is completely useless."
After listening to this, Song Yu said coldly, "So you lied to me in the auditorium last time."
008 had a good reason: "You didn't believe a word of it, how can it be considered a lie?"
Song Yu: “…”
He believed it.
He believed it a little bit, he believed that they had been friends in their previous life.
Thinking about it all now, it’s really ridiculous.
008 said: "Of course, the hatred value was full in the last life. After your death, I gained Xie Sui's hatred from Zhao Ziyu and Qin Mo."
Song Yu's eyes fell on the lines of text, and he paused without saying anything.
008: "That's why we definitely need the character of 'Song Yu'. After sending you away, I got into this shell and lived as an autistic person for so many years."
"It's really strange to say that we can't detect or collect the love or hate for Xie Sui in you. If we could collect it, we would have solved it long ago, and there would be no need to go through so much trouble. So, for us, it's easy to solve the problem of Xie Sui falling in love with other people, but not you."
"In the previous world, it was difficult to collect hatred, but easy to collect love. This time, it is difficult to collect hatred, but even more difficult to collect love."
After Song Yu spoke openly to 008, he no longer had anything to hate about it. What he hated more now was the person who was controlling everything behind the scenes.
He glanced at the cubes around him, and only after looking carefully could he see the light purple nine-square grid pattern on it. It was a Rubik's Cube, and it was inside a Rubik's Cube.
The product of research by an advanced civilization fell into the hands of a villain with a dark heart and became a weapon for him to seize the fortune of others.
He smiled, then turned to look at 008 who looked listless, and asked, "Why must it be Zhao Ziyu?"
Isn’t it said that falling in love with someone else can easily solve the problem? The tragedy of the previous life has already happened. Zhao Ziyu and Xie Sui are enemies at first glance. Why should they be forced to be together in this life instead of choosing someone else?
008 wanted to sigh again when he mentioned this: "You don't know how hard my master works. Luck is linked to energy. Data monitoring shows that the one who will fall in love with Xie Sui is a gifted child of equal strength. And Xie Sui is a person favored by this world. Where can he find someone who is equally as strong as him? He can only create one. The master didn't use the hatred and luck he got from Xie Sui when he was a child on himself. Instead, he gave them all to Zhao Ziyu, who has equally good mental power in this world. It was the same in the previous life and in this life. Once he's invested, he won't stop."
Song Yu was amused by the actions of the 'Lord God': "He is really interesting."
008 and Song Yu are old friends, and he has been hurt by him many times. He puffed his lips and had nothing to say: "The master made several wrong moves. He failed to send you away, and when you came back, everything was messed up. Later, he restored Zhao Ziyu's memory and arranged for my colleague to go there. Sigh, I give up. Now that things have come to this, I don't know what he is still obsessed with. Maybe it's the gambler's mentality. Every time he operates in the upper world, he consumes a lot of energy. He used to have money, fame and fortune in his own world, but now his luck is zero. He is probably as miserable as when he picked us up."
Song Yu lowered his eyes, and through 008 he seemed to see the crazy and stupid owner behind it.
Having invested so much, how can I bear to stop?
But the more he gambled, the more he feared he would lose everything in the end.
Thinking of this, Song Yu raised the corners of his lips jokingly.
He raised his eyes, looked at 008 coldly, and said calmly: "Do you know why I came back?"
008 complained: "As for Xie Sui's obsession, I think he sought death in his previous life, and you were the one he kept thinking about before he died. But now he has a new life, and his thoughts before he died are still so powerful that they can pull you back."
Song Yu thought to himself, they really don’t know.
"It was his obsession. Then do you know why I came back the summer when I was fifteen?"
008 raised his eyelids, and the same face revealed a child's confusion. "Why……"
Song Yu smiled and said, "Because he was reborn that summer, or rather, he recovered his memories of his previous life that summer."
008 suddenly raised his head. The brown eyes simulated by the data were lighter than Song Yu's own. They were wide and straight, and his mouth was trembling as it opened.
Song Yu said slowly: "He has all the memories of his previous life. How can you succeed?"
008 disappeared, anxious and frightened.
Song Yu retracted his gaze and looked at the book that was still suspended in the air. Without the noisy 008, it was eerily quiet around me.
He sat in such a blue hollow Rubik's cube, and the silent universe had no echo.
He stretched out his hand, stopped the book from turning pages automatically, closed the virtual "Gentle Control", was silent for a moment, and started again from the beginning.
It was like I was sitting in the hospital ward, reading page by page of this absurd and ridiculous story of abuse for the sake of torture.
Now I understand, it's really torture for the sake of torture.
——"Jingcheng, an old house, Xie Sui wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, squatted in the corner of the corridor, and treated all the injuries before daring to go upstairs.
He came back late, Grandma Chen had already fallen asleep, and the food on the table was cold.
He put down his schoolbag and walked to the table. His right hand was broken in the fight with the thugs and he couldn't hold the chopsticks at all. He could only use his left hand to eat the vegetables that had become cold and bitter.
But his left hand was also injured. There was a crack at the base of his palm, and it hurt a lot when he moved it slightly.
Xie Sui paused for a long time, put down his chopsticks, unable to eat anymore, lowered his eyes and began to clean the table.
He finally saved some living expenses, and Jingcheng No. 1 Middle School will start school tomorrow.
Hope everything will be fine. ”
Song Yu looked at the line calmly for a long time, and his eyes turned slightly red.
Alas, his boyfriend had such a miserable beginning.
It's not getting better. Those idiots have arranged a lot of bad guys to be around you.
He lowered his eyes with tears in them. He cried for the first time in a place where no one could see him.
The memories are back.
So everything was explained.
How could he feel such genuine disgust and anger towards a book like this?
Why did he go straight to Xie Sui as soon as he was discharged from the hospital?
With opera and gentle night breeze as the background, a smiling voice came from ancient times. An assumption that seems ridiculous and careless.
"If you had told me when you moved to Jingcheng with Aunt Xu, I would have followed you."
"Then my mother should agree too. After all, my grandmother is here."
"Then I transferred to your school, to your class, and became your deskmate."
"I will definitely be very nice to you at that time and protect you from experiencing those bad things and those bad people."
You see, I didn't break my promise.
