Sui Qi: "?"
Nie Chi cleared his throat, abandoned the young current heir of the Sui family, and left the main control room without looking back.
Zhan Chen led Sui Qi in and explained the current situation to him.
…
For the terminal, what needs to be found and forcibly fused and transformed is the individual named "S7" in the game.
There are originally two natural objects that meet logical requirements and have not been tampered with in any way - the human codenamed S7, and the account with the username S7.
But due to the unremitting efforts of the conservatives and Sheng Tiancheng, Shi Ji has been erased from all connections with S7.
The terminal took a desperate risk and issued the order at the last moment. Without having time to confirm it in person, it exited the world in an emergency.
There is no instruction from autonomous consciousness supervision, and with the only remaining correct answer, there is no suspense about the result.
...The leftover instructions invaded the game, forcibly captured the only account with the S7 keyword, and transformed this account into the best wingman AI.
In human language, Sui Qi's mecha number is gone.
As an apology, the developer specially sent out an exclusive supreme skin to compensate game users who were affected by this accident.
Sui Qi looked at the shiny new diamond-encrusted wingman: "..."
"If you don't like it, you can change it to another shape."
Zhan Chen has been the person in charge of the mall for a long time and is very experienced. He patiently communicated with Sui Qi: "The developer will provide you with a free skin customization opportunity. You can choose the look you like. We will be responsible for modeling and modifying it until you are satisfied."
Sui Qi and Zhan Chen were not familiar with each other, so she sat up straight and asked nervously: "...can I change back to a mecha?"
"No." Zhan Chen said warmly and apologetically, "We have tried it. Any instructions that do not allow it to be a wingman will be deleted by the AI."
Sui Qi: "..."
Zhan Chen proposed a compromise solution: "We can make a long-legged wingman, similar to Captain Zhuang's style——"
Sui Qi shivered and said without hesitation, "No need!"
As the temporary person in charge of game maintenance, Zhan Chen was rejected by the player. With some regrets, Zhan Chen was given a diamond-encrusted 1:100 restored mecha figure as additional compensation.
The person in charge performed his duties diligently, provided snacks and drinks, introduced in detail the superior performance and eye-catching appearance of the new account, and also provided an instruction manual "Learning to Drive a Wingman in Three Days".
The victim player ate a small cupcake in a daze, drank three glasses of iced Coke, and received forty minutes of introductory training on wingman driving.
The victimized player hugged the figure, carried a cool wingman account with full level diamonds, and a paper bag full of free cakes, and left the main control room as warm as the spring breeze.
Nie Chi was finally worried and went to the Zerg headquarters to confirm that Shi Ji was still leading the Zerg to fight, and then he was completely relieved.
Shi Ji also noticed the turmoil just now. He couldn't get away for the time being. He took off his earphones and asked Nie Chi: "Vice Captain, what happened?"
Nie Chi: "Let's see you fight."
Shi Ji hesitated for a moment, and wisely did not ask any more questions, then returned to the fierce battle situation.
Nie Chi walked to Shi Ji's console. He didn't tell Shi Ji what happened just now, and he didn't intend to mention the near-miss mission again. He just watched Shi Ji's command quietly for a while.
Yu Tang said that he was not going to let Shi Ji have any contact with anything related to the terminal.
…
Shi Ji is already a good enough commander.
Nie Chi suddenly remembered: "By the way, who gave you this name?"
He originally thought it was the Sheng family who named it, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that neither the Sheng family nor his son had the ability to come up with such a name.
Nie Chi: "Did you start it yourself? Or -"
Shi Ji: "It's Mr. Yu."
Nie Chi was a little curious: "When Mr. Yu first took over you?"
Shi Ji nodded slightly.
Yu Tang took over him five years ago. Mr. Yu at that time was very different from now. When he didn't need to follow the plot, he didn't like to talk and concentrated on his work. His eyes only had a distant and cold look that kept strangers away.
But before Sheng Tiancheng took him to apply for a new military registration, Yu Tang took the initiative to wake him up and asked him if he had any name he wanted to be called.
"I forgot a lot of things at that time, and I don't even remember my name."
Shi Ji said: "I don't want to change my name. I just want to be called S7. I'm afraid that the captain won't be able to find me after I change it."
... Shi Ji can still clearly recall the situation at that time.
Yu Tang was helpless, and he couldn't directly register the code name on his military registration, so he had to compromise and choose a similar homophony.
Mr. Yu didn't like to talk, and he didn't like to be hindered from his work, but he still patiently opened the entire dictionary, found all the words with similar pronunciations, and asked him to pick them one by one.
At the end of the day, it was Yu Tang who made the decision.
"My name is Shi Ji." Yu Tang closed the dictionary and threatened him coldly, "If you continue to struggle, you won't be allowed to drink Coke for one day."
He was so frightened that he agreed to his new name without hesitation.
…
Nie Chi was a little dumbfounded: "Did Mr. Yu ever say why you chose this name?"
Shi Ji: "I told you."
Nie Chi asked: "Why?"
"The dictionary says Ji means when the rain and snow stop and the sky clears up."
Shi Ji: "Mr. Yu said that there should be a time when the weather clears up."
Nie Chi nodded without saying anything, unscrewing the bottle of water and placing it in front of him.
Nie Chi also signed the joint letter that Chief Pu sent over and read the contents.
This matter has nothing to do with the reform of the alliance, and it will not help to stop the insect wave, nor can it help find the mastermind behind the betrayal of the interstellar.
But it is something that must be done.
Redefine the name of electronic storms, correct misconceptions that have been maliciously distorted, and let people truly understand the nature of electronic storms.
Let things return to the way they should be.
Nie Chi set a time for Shi Ji to go offline to eat and rest. Just as he was about to leave, the communication link from the headquarters suddenly rang.
Nie Chi easily opened the video call for him: "Is anyone looking for you?"
Shi Ji nodded: "It's Section Chief Pu. She made an appointment with me before. Sheng Yi wants to see me."
Nie Chi frowned and stopped as he was about to go out.
...They actually disapproved of Shi Ji having any contact with Sheng Yi again.
After Sheng Tiancheng was taken away, Nie Chi also heard more or less news about Sheng Yi.
His father, who was originally believed to be a sacrificed hero, was suddenly exposed to all the conspiracy, and even turned into a Zerg before his eyes, and once tried to attack him.
This was enough to completely destroy Sheng Yi's foundation.
After being knocked unconscious by Sui Qi and brought back, Sheng Yi briefly woke up several times. He was either confused and silent, or he was hysterical, holding his head and screaming in pain, and his mind was already a little unconscious.
…
But Nie Chi still believed that this was no longer Shi Ji's responsibility.
Not long after Shi Ji was stripped of the procedure, he was similar to a patient who had just escaped from an electronic storm, and the damage to his consciousness had not yet fully recovered.
What Shi Ji needs now is to completely get rid of the influence left by the Sheng family and his son, not to be entangled in the distorted identity caused by the past misplacement.
"It's okay." Shi Ji said.
Nie Chi was noncommittal, stopped and leaned against the door with his arms folded.
The video call was connected, and Sheng Yi's gray and dazed face appeared on the screen.
Shi Ji asked in a gentle voice, "What do you want from me?"
"...Teach me." Sheng Yi's voice was hoarse. "You know how to deal with this program, right? Teach me. It doesn't allow me to die, it forces me to live..."
Shi Ji asked: "Do you want to end your life?"
Sheng Yi's eyes were bloodshot and embarrassed: "What's the point of living like this?"
He had never learned to empathize with others, and it was not until this moment that he truly realized the kind of pain Shi Ji had endured.
Sheng Yi just wanted to get it over with and begged him in a low voice: "I know I was wrong. I'm sorry. Shi Ji, please forgive me and tell me what to do..."
Shi Ji shook his head slightly.
Sheng Yi's pupils shrank slightly: "You still hate me and want to take revenge on me, right?"
"No." Shi Ji said, "You are my mission."
In the communication screen, Sheng Yi's breath was suffocated, and his body was so stiff that he couldn't move.
...What Shi Ji said was the fact that he had been deliberately ignoring.
He was just a task that had tortured Shi Ji for five years.
Special operations team members have to perform too many tasks. When Zhuang Yu gave a speech to the selected trainees, he once explained to them the principles for the special operation groups to perform tasks.
During the execution of the task, treat each task with concentration and strive to be rigorous and make no mistakes.
After the task is over, immediately take back all your attention.
Only in this way can we ensure that we are always on standby in the best condition and ready to accept new instructions at any time.
To Shi Ji, he was just a task.
...Today is his birthday, the first day of his adult life. As of today, Shi Ji's mission has just come to an end.
Shi Ji said: "Don't worry, I won't care about you anymore."
Sheng Yi's breathing suddenly became rapid, his face turned pale, and his body was shaking uncontrollably.
The last time Shi Ji said this to him, he hadn't fully realized what it meant.
...He has been thinking about one thing these days.
Why would Sheng Tiancheng come back to him?
Sheng Yi tried hard to convince himself that Sheng Tiancheng wanted to see him again, but the conclusion of the General Research Institute of the Ministry of Science completely overturned this.
The new ability evolved by the Zerg is that it can mimic humans.
Sheng Tiancheng collected a large amount of Sheng Yi's body data and has completed preliminary modeling - it is not difficult to guess why Sheng Tiancheng did this.
If the special operations team had not captured Sheng Tiancheng that day and allowed him to completely transform into a Zerg, Sheng Tiancheng would have been able to mimic the appearance of Sheng Yi.
Compared to being a wanted criminal who is destined to live in hiding, Sheng Yi's identity is undoubtedly much better.
Sheng Yi simply couldn't accept this fact.
He threatened and begged, and asked Pu Ying to take him to see Sheng Tiancheng, and asked hysterically what his insect-turned father planned to do to him, and whether he was going to kill him after taking over his identity.
The Zerg was locked in a special alloy prison and seemed not to hear his voice at all.
...Sheng Tiancheng is not inhumane at all.
That bit of humanity was only enough to support him in accepting the special task of feigning death because of Sheng Yi, but he failed to transform Shi Ji under Zhan Chen's threat, so he settled for the next best thing and turned Shi Ji into Sheng Yi's observer.
But Sheng Tiancheng didn't expect that the so-called "special mission" would actually be to trade him as a sample to the Zerg.
After being transformed into a Zerg, the first thing Sheng Tiancheng gave up was his obstructive humanity.
He had no feelings for Sheng Yi for a long time. He came back to find Sheng Yi this time just to ask Sheng Yi to find food for him and to ask Sheng Yi to help him stand guard. He was preparing to seize Sheng Yi's identity after complete transformation and lurk among humans to survive.Go down.
If the Storm team does not arrive in time, he will kill Sheng Yi and seize Sheng Yi's identity.
"I know I was wrong...Shi Ji!"
Sheng Yi suddenly came back to his senses and rushed to the communication screen: "Please, don't ignore me, I know I was wrong!"
He begged in a low voice: "You are the only one I have left, don't do this, Shi Ji, you can take revenge on me however you want..."
Shi Ji shook his head gently.
His tone was still calm and gentle: "There were many people who used a lot of force to pull me out."
Dean Nie tried every means to find a receiving unit for him, and the captain blocked all pressure from the outside world for him.He had already remembered the past and his real parents, but due to the heavy tasks at hand, he had not had time to return to the air force base to see them.
Mr. Yu helped him repair his body and complete the particles bit by bit. Senior Zhan taught him how to deal with it, and helped him save his wingman's AI and make it into the Dolphin.
The energy they spent on Shi Ji was not to make Shi Ji jump back into the quagmire of the past.
Shi Ji was taught this by Yu Tang, and he remembered it clearly: "I am responsible for you when I come back now, but I am irresponsible for their irresponsibility."
Sheng Yi's face turned pale, and his chest heaved desperately.
"I'm not going to teach you how to end your life, and it's not because I want to take revenge on you."
Shi Ji said: "This system just doesn't allow people to do this."
After integrating with humans, the system also relies on human life forms to exist. Before complete integration, the death of humans will also lead to the destruction of the system.
The system's self-protection procedures will strictly prevent this from happening.
Sheng Yi asked hoarsely: "How do you know...have you tried it?"
"I tried." Shi Ji said.
Sheng Yi's pupils condensed.
"Your father once lied to me."
Shi Ji: "He told me that all my captains and comrades-in-arms had died, and I was the only one left."
It's not that Shi Ji can't live alone.
He just missed the captain, vice-captain, and the other members of the Sharp Knife Team too much. He wanted to know that since there was a strange dimension like electronic storm in the world, was there also an afterlife world?
Is it true that as long as he reaches the world after death, there will be people who will rub his head, supervise him to eat nutritious and healthy meals, and carry him with a smile on his back?
There will be people who will guard his back and fight alongside him.
Sheng Yi opened his mouth with difficulty, unable to say a word, and stood still.
Shi Ji recovered his mind and turned to the console.
The time he had given himself had run out, and this was the final summary of the mission.
Sheng Yi stared blankly at Shi Ji's operations.
On the surveillance screen, an overwhelming swarm of insects launched a general attack on the alliance's capital. The human defense line barely held on for a moment before being completely defeated.
The sudden fierce battle caused the entire alliance in the game to instantly fall into chaos.
Nie Chi raised his eyebrows.
...Shi Ji did not report this decision to anyone.
They thought that Shi Ji would be merciful and leave some hope to mankind, but they didn't expect that little S7 would grow into S1, and he would also take on the same demeanor as the captain.
"What are you doing...are you going to make everyone completely despair?"
Sheng Yi could no longer figure out what Shi Ji was thinking. His face turned pale and he couldn't help but ask in a dumb voice: "What do you want? You are like this-"
Shi Ji: "I want hope."
Sheng Yi stopped talking in shock.
"You must first learn to feel pain." Shi Ji said, "Virtual victory has no meaning."
Only by learning how to feel pain can you have the motivation to struggle desperately to change the current situation.
You must first learn to be afraid, then you can learn to be in awe and wake up completely from blind self-confidence.
If everything goes well in the game and everyone is happy to defeat the Zerg, Yu Tang's hard work will be shaken.The military and the people, who have finally developed a sense of urgency, will be immersed in the illusion of victory, thinking that they can cope with the real insect tide.
Since Shi Ji took over the Zerg headquarters, he never thought of giving a successful ending in the game where humans defeated the Zerg and successfully defended their homeland.
Sheng Yi's call time has come to an end, and the communication was automatically interrupted.
Nie Chi came over.
Nie Chi watched Shi Ji's operation and couldn't hold it back. He suppressed his smile and coughed: "The captain should be surrounded by a group of old men now."
Shi Ji pursed his lips and gave up half of the console to the side.
Time has resumed its flow on his body. In the past two months, Zhuang Yu and Nie Chi have taken turns to watch him eat happy growth nutritious meals, and he has grown slightly taller.
Nie Chi looked at the young Storm team leader in front of him and finally felt relieved.
He and Zhuang Yu had been worried about the impact on Shi Ji, worried that even if Shi Ji was stripped of the program, he would never be able to smile happily again.
Now it seems that the little S7 has not recovered.
Following the words and deeds of Yu Tang and Zhan Chen, the obedient little observer grew up by leaps and bounds. He had more ideas than anyone else, all hidden under a gentle and harmless attitude.
They had already successfully led the young group leader into evil.
…
Nie Chi sold the village without any psychological pressure, joined in the control of the Zerg army, and blocked all communication channels that could be contacted by the outside world.
Nie Chi and Zhuang Yu: We taught the world’s coolest observer very well.😎😎
Dean Nie: You guys corrupt the perfectly good child that’s what you did!
Tangtang *slurping his milk* : Yeah, they’re such a bad influence.
Senior Zhan: … Do you want more cookies?
