Begonia, you probably never expected that sixty years later, I would be standing here again, at the very place where we first met...
With a slight turn here, it seems a kind yet proud voice will loudly call out "Dad" to her.
She closed her eyes, and countless data points appeared before her.
"Autumn Water Beauty"
IP:
Entering Heian-kyo on September 15th, I obtained a total of 175 shikigami, summoned them 1130 times, and successfully defeated Orochi 1371 times…
Along with this data, a game scene pieced together from cuts and stitches appeared in the background.
Images and familiar yet unfamiliar faces flashed before her eyes.
The video from many years ago appeared. Luo Qiushui looked at the screen and couldn't help but reach out her hand, only to touch something cold.
So this is what she looked like from this angle... She was so young and beautiful when she first entered Heian-kyo... If the kids saw her now, they probably wouldn't recognize her.
This data is still available...
"Dear player, welcome to Heian-kyo..."
...
"System notification: Congratulations on passing the tenth level of Orochi. Reward: Two Mysterious Talismans."
...
"The Onmyoji Guild Tournament has begun! Please head to Heian-kyo as soon as possible to cheer on your guild!"
...
"Hurry up, Yiren, it's the president's birthday today..."
Long-ago data played out before her eyes: her first time entering Heian-kyo, her first time summoning an SSR...
Tears dripped onto the paper in her hand, staining the words on it.
More than a thousand days and months have passed in the blink of an eye. As time goes by, she has grown old. Let her sit here quietly for a while.
Sitting under the tree amidst the noise overhead, Luo Qiushui slowly closed her eyes.
"Father..."
A distant call came, and she tried to open her eyes, but she couldn't. She was too tired. Who was calling her?
"call……"
The woman heard soft, even breathing and looked at her grandmother, who was peacefully asleep in the wicker chair, not wanting to disturb her.
The image of Grandma appeared on the screen in front of me in a holographic world. Grandma was leaning against the cherry blossom tree, sleeping peacefully, without any suspicion.
The cherry blossoms falling from the treetops formed a thick blanket over Grandma, and the warm sunlight shone through the dappled shade, illuminating her. It was so beautiful there…
"This is the world I love."
The woman lowered her voice and said.
She covered her grandmother with a light, weightless blanket, sat on the edge of the bed, carefully checked the contents, opened the suitcase, and looked at the artificial intelligence device inside.
"Everyone inside will become real. I can do it."
Her firm voice echoed in the room.
She had heard about the tragedy that happened many years ago, and soon, the simulated personality would be truly created in her hands!
After closing the suitcase, the woman glanced at her sleeping grandmother, eager to share the news with her immediately.
The woman stared longingly at the figure on the wicker chair for a long time before sighing.
Tomorrow, when Grandma finds out what she did, she will be very proud of her.
She stood up and opened the door. The unloaded artificial intelligence glowed in her hands. Tomorrow, she would personally activate this data, and her company would be successfully established.
I closed the door behind me, and the quiet room was plunged into darkness.
...
the next day
"Grandma, Grandma! Why are you opposing me? These medicines and this data are the result of my hard work!"
The woman looked at her grandmother, who insisted on not signing the safety assessment report, her beautiful eyes filled with incomprehension.
"Jinhua, human body modification technology has been strictly prohibited in China for many years. This technology should not reappear in China."
Luo Qiushui said seriously.
"But look..."
Luo Jinhua's finger slid through the air, and data appeared on the screen, along with the results of her experiments over the past few years.
Luo Qiushui sighed, "Jinhua, you simply can't control this technology." She put down the safety assessment report in her hand and said.
"I believe I can."
Luo Jinhua answered persistently.
Looking at her like this, Luo Qiushui felt a headache coming on. She didn't know who had told her about this human gene modification technology; the existence of this technology was itself a disaster.
"Have you thought this through carefully? If this technology succeeds, it will pose a great threat to those who have not been successfully modified and do not have the ability to be modified. Even if it fails, you will create terrifying monsters."
Luo Qiushui advised her.
Haven't these incident taught her and Luo Yi enough lessons?
“Grandma, you still don’t understand this technology.” Luo Jinhua said calmly after hearing her strong rebuttal.
"I guarantee with my reputation that everyone in China and even the world can safely undergo successful reformation, and there will be no cases of reformation failure or counter-examples."
How can you guarantee that?
"I've been experimenting for many years..."
After saying those words, Luo Jinhua realized what she had said, and Luo Qiushui's brows were already tightly furrowed.
"You conducted the experiment without permission?"
Her gaze was very serious, almost scrutinizing and warning. This was the first time Luo Jinhua had ever seen her grandmother so serious.
Her heart trembled slightly, and she spoke softly to her grandmother, "I assure you, all these experiments were conducted voluntarily, and no one was injured as a result. Grandma, do you really understand this technology, and do you really understand the former mayor's successful experiments?"
She asked eagerly.
Luo Qiushui nodded. She understood everything about human modification and the meaning of embedding special marks in genes.
Besides, she was both a threat and a failure of this human modification technology. No one knew better than her the consequences of a body absorbing uncontrollable power.
“Jinhua, I know you’ve liked so-called ‘witches’ since you were little, but Grandma tells you that they are far from as wonderful as you imagine.”
Upon hearing this, Luo Jinhua smiled.
“I know that I have different ideas from the previous mayor here.”
She deserves Luo Xiaoyu.
After saying this, she noticed that Luo Qiushui's eyes were gradually turning cold. She sighed softly and turned off all the screens.
"grandmother."
She sat down next to Luo Qiushui.
"Grandpa left us a long, long time ago, but Grandma is still with us. You have suffered so much hardship and have so many hidden injuries, yet you still live a long life. It is all thanks to the power of the 'witch'."
Human body modification technology is an inevitable result of the development of the times and human evolution. Mayor Luo Xiaoyu misused it at the time, which was the result of many restrictions at the time.
If Grandpa also possessed "witchcraft" powers, perhaps he could stay with us and Grandma forever. Wouldn't that be a wonderful human life? Grandma!
Luo Jinhua's eager gaze fell on Luo Qiushui, who put away the safety certificate and shooed her out.
"You can leave now."
