117

This New Year's Eve was already late at night.

Chu Zaizhou didn't understand why he could spend so much time on this "self-entertainment" activity.

Perhaps it was because the atmosphere was so good that people couldn't help but be nostalgic, so they hoped in their hearts that time would not pass...

When there were no more firecrackers in reality and a thin light appeared in the sky, the celebration in the academy ended.

Kaxiu's alcohol tolerance was average, and he was drunk, even his cheeks were flushed, but his expression was still as calm as ever.

However, when Liang Qi turned his head away, he took out a scalpel and went to find Delian PK.

The unbearable pink-haired young man shook the logistics director, and the latter gave Kaxiu a big crab-like five-flowered tie.

As for why he didn't go to find Sainz?

The cold dean had no intimidation in front of Lu Xi. He could only sit in a corner of the sofa, staring blankly at the silver-haired young man chatting with his original body. He

also rescued the potted pillow that had its cotton pulled out.

Delian grabbed Kaxiu's collar and threw him onto Liang Qi;

then she grabbed Xie Liya's collar and threw her into Qingze's arms;

then she grabbed the sleeping school doctor and Clester and threw them into the pool to wash their faces.

Finally, she grabbed Jiang Ling's collar and threw him out of the room.

Jiang Ling, who was awakened by the heavy snow: "——! What are you doing!" Delian

said coldly: "Don't play with the last one."

Jiang Ling was so angry that he stomped his feet.

Liang Qi looked at the big black dumpling in his hand with amusement, and touched his hot face with the back of his hand: "Are you awake?"

Kaxiu was tied tightly, and could only slightly raise his head and struggled.

The emerald green eyes were filled with a layer of hazy light, and looked easy to be deceived.

He said in a low and hoarse voice: "I'm a little worried."

Liang Qi paused, put his hand on his shoulder and patted it gently.

He said "ah" meaninglessly, and didn't know who he was comforting: "It's okay."

"'I' can handle everything." His eyes were calm and his tone was relaxed, "We will always be with him."

Kaxiu took a deep breath, and his tight muscles were a little painful from being tied by the red rope. Although it was easy to untie it, he didn't say who was taking revenge on him.

He said sullenly, "You really hold a grudge--"

It's just that I tickled him a few more times.

Liang Qi said with great joy, "You are all the same."

"Go back to sleep." The black-haired young man gave up struggling and lay down directly, waiting for Liang Qi to move.

"Let's sleep together tonight, and lock the rice bucket next door."

Liang Qi smiled and agreed, "Okay."

"Happy New Year." He said.

Kaxiu rubbed him, "Happy New Year."

Most of the vests left together, and it is estimated that many of them slept together at night.

No matter what, getting along with another "self" can alleviate some of the uneasiness in your heart.

The player himself is responsible for the aftermath and cleaning up the mess.

In fact, it is very simple. Just think about it in your mind, and this world will become what you need, just like the ripples on the water when you stretch out your hand.

After Sainz dragged the staggering Lu Xi away with a cold face, the latter turned around and said "good night" to him, and everything was quiet.

-

Chu Zaizhou teleported back to the principal's office and sat in front of the fireplace.

The firelight reflected on his face, burning his smooth forehead.

The system, which was having fun, was still humming a song in his mind, and it was humming about good luck.

It naturally participated in the New Year's Eve, running around with Jiang Ling in a shell, and was forced to drink several glasses of fruit wine by the evil players, but it didn't realize it yet.

Chu Zaizhou, who wanted to vent his resentment, couldn't do it.

The system "burped" with some stupidity, like the most clingy puppy chirping: [Player, it's time to go to bed. ]

[Hehehe, does this count as sleeping in the same bed... No, we sleep in the same bed every day! ]

Chu Zaizhou asked unromantically: [Can you still get drunk on data? ]

System: [How can you say that! ]

After getting angry, it calmed itself down again, muttering that it didn't bother with you on New Year's Day, and then asked: [Rest here, or go home? ]

The "home" the system was talking about was the community in Wenhai District.

Although Chu Zaizhou has almost built the college, and the facilities inside are first-class, he usually likes to go back to sleep.

Even before resting, he has to turn on the surveillance and the barrier to prevent his own rising pollution value from affecting others.

The system often uses this to complain that he is a "savior who hides in the city" and specializes in playing the routine of "playing the pig to eat the tiger".

Chu Zaizhou felt that he was too innocent.

He was just a self-contained otaku who was targeted by criminals several times and relied on the police uncle for protection.

Because of the team building he had on a whim, he now had to pretend to be a celebrity when he went out.

Chu Zaizhou also received many enthusiastic contacts from classmates and colleagues who had lost contact with him, but he rejected them all with his ignorant attitude...

Even so, he still didn't want to give up his original identity and move directly to the college.

Why?

Could it be that he was attached to the soup that Aunt Li sent him every few days?

Chu Zaizhou glanced at the empty bowl on the table and pursed his lips.

[Not going back.] He said, [Today... No, I'll rest in the college in the future.]

The system said "Oh", and asked if it could put a small bed in the room for it, so that he could have what 007 had.

Chu Zaizhou: ...

Why is this kid so fussy about someone else having a charging station? Is this the jealousy of an intelligent robot?

After a busy day, Chu Zaizhou lay down on the bed, his mind was still active.

He summoned the game panel. On the interface were the familiar daily tasks, which he could do or not, but there was still no trace of random tasks.

[System.] The player poked the system and asked, [What is the triggering standard for random tasks?]

The system was half a beat late before saying: [Player, you have asked many times... It is triggered by the main system. Maybe the points accumulated are not enough?]

What's not enough? His academy is almost built, and the vest's daily activities are not slack, and the points are rising rapidly.

In addition to chasing after the evil god fragments, what other nodes are there?

[Main task: Build the "Central Superpower Academy", solve strange crises, and maintain world peace.]

Chu Zaizhou stared at the main task for a long time, waiting for the system to speak.

But his policy of delaying hints did not seem to have much effect.

Hanhan just noticed something wrong: [Player, you seem very anxious.]

"A little bit." Chu Zaizhou curled his fingers and murmured, "Maybe it's because of the Chinese New Year."

"Everyone, it's already the Chinese New Year."

The system responded briskly: [Time flies! We have known each other for more than half a year!]

Is it really just more than half a year? Chu Zaizhou thought indifferently.

The Chinese New Year represents the beginning of the new year, and it also represents that the past as an ordinary person has a very clear dividing line with him.

As the fragments of the evil god were collected, Chu Zaizhou noticed more and more anomalies.

But the system started asking him about the Chinese New Year very early, and the expectation and curiosity in his words could not be concealed at all.

So the player thought, delay it a little longer, let this Hanhan be happy for a while.

He was afraid that if he said his guess, this peaceful daily life would no longer exist.

But in fact, the more comfortable the time with the vest, the more Chu Zaizhou could not bear it.

He was worried that all this was a lie, and that the game would be withdrawn in the future, leaving him completely addicted to struggle in "ordinariness".

He seemed to be talking to himself, and seemed to be asking the system: "Is my choice to collect the fragments of the evil god correct?"

The system paused for a moment, and before it could say anything, it was interrupted by Chu Zaizhou.

"Why did the game directly write collecting the fragments of the evil god in the last random mission released by the main system - the Drungz?"

Does this mean that the game supports his approach?

"Also, where did Lu Xi's foresight go?"

The player's tone was very calm: "I remember... when I was still playing the game, the foresight ability was still useful."

It is impossible for Lu Xi, a card, to become a high-level member of the Summoning Society as soon as it was created.

At that time, the player was still in the stage of being angry with the world and the world, and his mind was full of thoughts about the newspaper.

He used his foresight ability to cause trouble everywhere all day long, and went wherever there was fun, and lied all the time.

It was because he predicted the activities of the Summoning Society that he mixed in. Even the adoption of Lu Qian was a part of foresight.

Coupled with the role of the mission, it was too logical to develop to the point of summoning the evil god.

And the player who was in a bad mood at that time...

Thinking of this, he sat up with his hands on his hands.

The system was startled and had a bad premonition.

"I would only make that choice." Chu Zaizhou muttered with an ugly face.

"My mood was very bad at that time, and my personality was full of control. Whether it was being sacrificed or being suppressed by the evil god, I would never agree to either of these two choices!"

"I would take action."

So at that time, the evil god would definitely be assassinated by Lu Xi, or even broken.

The player stroked his forehead and found that he had been covered with cold sweat without knowing when.

He calmly overturned his past conclusion: "I didn't kill the evil god unconsciously."

It was Lu Xi's "foreknowledge", the game's "mission", and his "emotions", which were inevitable under the influence of multiple layers.

"It's a game - the game I played three years ago. It was guiding me back then."

"Not only did it guide me back then, it also hid itself as a pure game and observed me for three years."

Chu Zaizhou lowered his eyes and said slowly:

"Will the system crash just because I chose the third option, when the main quest can be changed according to my ideas and games related to collecting evil god fragments are released?"

- No.

The system answered in its heart, thinking it was finished.

After the player assassinated the evil god, the game popped up an interface saying "System error, restart..." and it was stuck for a long time before releasing the achievement to the player.

It was like a game with a logical bug, and remedial measures were taken.

But now it seems that this is a trick to deceive Chu Zaizhou.

Chu Zaizhou chuckled and answered himself: "No, right? Now think about it, is this considered superfluous?"

There is also the so-called narration. The explanation given by the system at that time was to summarize the plot to prevent it from affecting the daily life of the players, and to make the game appear more realistic.

In short - the coordination is very good, and it successfully pretends to be a game system that is a little smart but not much.

These details are difficult to detect, but after discovering a breakthrough, they accumulate and become a thorn in the eyes of the players that cannot be ignored.

Until now, Chu Zaizhou chose to break through this layer of falsehood.

The system was silent for a while and said: [Maybe... but player, if it is not like this, you will guess it faster, right? Chu Zaizhou

rubbed his face and continued to ask: "So, there was no foresight, right?"

"Qiu Qiu's so-called foresight is better described as a sixth sense, which is too thin."

"Lu Xi's foresight is better described as you collecting information and then making predictions."

The system searches for information very quickly, to an unimaginable degree.

Chu Zaizhou saw Clara almost a second ago, and the system revealed her identity in the next second.

But the system has almost no other functions except for query and chat.

The system did not deny it this time, and whispered: [It's me.]

Chu Zaizhou raised his eyebrows: "Have we known each other for more than half a year?"

System: [...]

Its tone was very timid, like a dog that was caught for making a mistake, and was extremely scared: [I... am sorry.]

Chu Zaizhou smiled, his eyes curved, and the cold feeling disappeared instantly, appearing exceptionally gentle.

He was very good-tempered most of the time, and rarely let others catch him. Even revenge would be forbearing until the moment of one-shot kill.

But if you treat him as a good-tempered gentleman, then you will die without knowing how.

He said gently: [Then you tell me.]

The system didn't know where to start.

Perhaps the person who took it away had already anticipated its erratic personality and locked all the truth in the core of the program.

It can only say: [From the beginning, the game belongs to you, I belong to you, and those vests are also... players. You are the only savior.]

[As for why you choose to keep it secret.] The system said, [Because we hope you can be happier.]

Chu Zaizhou couldn't help but reveal a trace of surprise on his face.

"Happier?" He repeated it again, preparing to be severely punished, which seemed a bit funny at this moment.

The system said frustratedly: [If you knew it from the beginning, you wouldn't accept the guidance of others. You might not even become a savior - even if you agreed, you wouldn't be happy.]

Chu Zaizhou is a person with a strong desire for control. If you really put things in front of him and ask him to do something, he will definitely not be happy.

Chu Zaizhou's mouth twitched: "So you did that and observed me for three years to make sure I was mature enough to listen to people, so you were released to speak softly?"

Angry and speechless.

The system hummed and thought that was the case. It said: [Apart from these, the rest are your own choices.]

[I actually want to tell you a lot of things, but my program won't let me.]

The game's guidance is actually very little, so little that you have to study Chu Zaizhou's logic carefully before it can be effective.

The big things are indeed the players' own ideas: including using Lu Xi to suppress the evil god fragments, creating a vest role-playing point...

Chu Zaizhou took a deep breath, and for a moment he really felt that it was a mess.

What made him feel awkward was that this game really predicted all his thoughts.

Even the truth that the system could tell was locked.

If the system could speak, Chu Zaizhou would feel uncomfortable whether it said it or not.

It was only this little piece of trash that couldn't say anything that made him unable to do anything now.

The player thought, who is this? They considered everything so carefully just to pave the way for him.

They gave him power, protection, and enough sense of security, and even arranged for this little piece of trash, the system.

Isn't that enough?

"One last question." Chu Zaizhou stretched out his hand and made a sign.

"The creator of the game, the person who brought you to me, the real owner of 007 - who is it?"

The system was silent for a long, long time without answering, so long that Chu Zaizhou even thought it had disappeared.

"Do you want me to guess again?" He said calmly, "I don't want to waste my energy."

In a trance, he heard a shallow sigh.

"Go to sleep."

Chu Zaizhou opened his eyes again and found himself sitting on the roof.

It was a low bungalow roof, and next to it was a dry old tree with all its branches and leaves fallen. There were a few gray little red lanterns hanging on it.

There was no snow in the sky, and the snow on the ground had not melted yet, just covering the messy garbage and shaking out a few stars.

He lowered his eyes and saw the cracked red stool he was sitting on.

It was very quiet here, with no one else. It was the most profound memory of the young Chu Zaizhou, and it was also his refrigerator.

Once he was in a bad mood, he would sneak out at night and sit on the roof all night.

Taking advantage of this alone time, he reviewed the details of the matter and found the most advantageous part of it.

Chu Zaizhou's heart calmed down instantly.

He felt his temperature rising, a bit like the feeling when Lu Xi swallowed the fragments of the evil god.

"You found out earlier than I thought." The voice came from behind him, light and gentle, incredibly familiar, "I lost."

"I didn't consider that you would let Lu Xi bear the power of so many fragments in such a short time."

Chu Zaizhou didn't turn around, he just said: "You know very well that I don't like being kept in the dark."

The windless winter was not cold, and the sound of footsteps on the snow approached.

The man squatted down and brought himself in front of Chu Zaizhou.

Black hair, gray eyes, looks exactly like him, even the arc of his smile is no different from his.

If there is any difference from Chu Zaizhou, it is probably that the emotion in his eyes is very light, and his smile is also very distant.

He tilted his head slightly, showing weakness and submission.

"I was wrong. I pretended it was a game, transferred all the responsibilities to you, and even deliberately designed it to make you think that the assassination of the evil god and the dispersion of fragments were your unconscious behavior."

He admitted all the crimes that the system dared not to mention, cleanly and neatly.

"But I want to know, where did 007 reveal the flaw?"

"And, how can you be sure it was 'me'?"

Chu Zaizhou looked down at him, his throat inexplicably choked.

He paused for a while before saying: "Even the system doesn't know my initial preferences, but 007 knows. It cooks for me and never changes the taste. I don't think the initial settings can be set like this."

"Secondly, you are soft-hearted."

A hint of slight surprise flashed across the eyes of the man in front of him.

Chu Zaizhou thought it was very funny.

He stretched out his hand and gently touched his forehead, feeling the forced relaxation after his subconscious tense.

007's memory was not erased, which is why it said something that was full of logic and speciousness when asked who made it.

Chu Zaizhou said calmly: "I will be soft-hearted to the system, so why not you?"

It can predict all his logic, pave the way for him, and lift him to the throne of "savior".

"——Another me."

(Chapter 6)

Chu Zaizhou asked: "Since there is a model, who invented you?"

007 answered irrelevantly: "It has been bound, 007 belongs to you, always."

(Chapter 47)

Random mission: Investigate the truth of the incident of the Drungz cruise ship and collect the fragments of the (possible) evil god.

(Chapter 21)

Lu Xi's identity card. Superpower: Prediction (Destruction)

(Chapter 16)

Lu Xi seduced the god and assassinated him [System error... Retry...]

(Chapter 45)

The system's explanation of the narration.

Chu Zaizhou noticed that the game plot was happening simultaneously in another corner of the world, but thought it was his unconscious effect.

There are also some things that are not obvious.

1. The system is very familiar with Chu Zaizhou's attitude, and it didn't take it seriously for long at the beginning, and then let it go.

2. The reward given to Chu Zaizhou by the random task.

"Do you want me to guess again?" "I don't want to waste my own energy."

"Waste my own energy" is an open card.

With Chu Zaizhou's straightforward attitude, he will reveal his cards quickly after being exposed.

Good night, if there are any more details, I will add them later. I will draw 100 red envelopes for this chapter.
