Frost and Pei Qing confronted each other. After contacting the Internet of the Interstellar Era and absorbing a large amount of knowledge, he could easily see shock, as expected, worry, and a hint of unease from the subtle changes in the muscles of the other's face. .

But more than that - joy.

After this person was trapped in the secret room by the enemy and had no way to escape, the strongest emotion turned out to be joy?

"Hahahahahahaha..." Pei Qing suddenly laughed, until the air in his lungs was about to be emptied, and he could hardly stand still.

He looked at Frost: "Noah Pei gave you a way to leave, right?"

Frost was silent.

Pei Qing didn't need his answer. Now the situation has already explained the problem. Noah Pei did leave an exit for Frost to leave, and Frost can come and go in the world of reality and zero. Freely.

Pei Qing's tone was gentle, but paranoia and madness were hidden in it. He raised his wrist to reveal his modified personal terminal: "Let me see how excellent Noah Pei's works are!"

In the next instant, Pei Qing's fingertips began to jump wildly on the terminal, and he issued a line of instructions.

Frost suddenly felt that his data was being attacked, and countless aggressive programs rushed towards him frantically. Either he cut off the data connection to this room, or he had to defeat the attack from Pei Qing.

The two sides confronted each other in silence. There was no smoke of gunpowder or shadows of swords and swords in the air, but a fierce battle was going on.

Pei Qing's forehead gradually broke out with cold sweat, and the cold sweat dripped from his forehead with his movements, and then fell onto his clothes and fainted into a small dark spot.

Frost also closed his eyes, fully responding to the attack from Pei Qing.

The two sides are performing calculations that exceed human limits, and every second is an innumerable confrontation.

Pei Qing is worthy of being a famous genius in this era. With such a network attack, even the secrets of the Interstellar Federation can be broken by him, but...

Fail.

Fail.

still fail...

Pei Qing felt as if he was facing a high gray wall. Behind the wall was a treasure trove full of secrets, but there was no place to climb on the wall.

Each of his attacks is as transparent in front of the opponent, and can always be cracked accurately without even a little extra effort.

Finally, Pei Qing's movements stopped.

As a person surrounded by genius since childhood, Pei Qing experienced powerlessness and despair for the first time.

Frost: "Before I came to you, I studied all your code, all your research results, and all your habits."

He covered his face and let out a frantic laugh: "Hahahahaha...Is this the work of Noah Pei...Hahaha...It's as difficult as the mastermind...Everyone says Noah Pei's last work It's zero...but, it should be you, right?"

Frost's tone was as usual: "In terms of time, my birth is indeed later than the master mind of zero."

Pei Qing's eyes were still full of unwillingness: "What treasure has Noah Pei left for you! He must have hidden enough trump card to change the world. What are you going to do now? Change human history?"

Frost looked at him, and a hint of pity suddenly appeared in his eyes: "No, there is no treasure, there is nothing."

Pei Qing roared: "How is that possible! He entered zero once before he died, and that was when he went to see you? The duration will be 46 minutes and 32 seconds, and you still want to deny it?!"

Frost: "..."

Frost's figure on the screen suddenly disappeared and turned into a video. The picture in the video was Hessian, whom Pei Qing was familiar with, and Frost sitting alone under the tree in a daze.

An old and weak figure suddenly appeared out of thin air.

It was Noah Pei, Frost was accustomed to the way he appeared different from ordinary people, and did not express surprise.

But the Noah Pei He had changed a lot when he first came to see Frost. The whole person's anger seemed to be exhausted. Without the image of a handsome old gentleman, his back was no longer there. Straight up, his eyes lost their lustre.

After Gu Shenxue's death, Noah Pei's physical condition declined rapidly. He was 100 years old at this time, and even the most advanced medical methods could not restore his rapidly disappearing vitality.

Noah Pei was so weak that he could not stand, and could only sit down leaning against the tree with the help of Frost.

Frost looked at him worriedly. "What's the matter with you?"

Noah Pei sighed: "I'm going to die."

"Will I never see you in the future, like deep snow." Frost read a subtle difference from this sentence, which seems to be different from the resurrectable death of the Asanassi , but - Farewell.

Noah Pei nodded: "Yes..."

He looked at the child in front of him with cloudy eyes. This is the child he and Gu Shenxue created. He has an appearance that combines the advantages of the two. He is a very good child, very gentle, very intelligent, and his whole person is clean and clear.

But at this time, Noah Pei's heart suddenly filled with fear, shouldn't they bring Frost into this world? Frost's friend has been missing for ten years, and Miyuki is no longer there. Now, it's his turn. After all the people who care about Frost have left, how can he live alone?

He talked a lot to Frost, as if he wanted to pass on all his life experiences to the child who was about to lose his asylum. About life, the rules of life, the details of life... Anyone can feel his reluctance and helplessness to the destiny.

Suddenly, Noah Pei stopped narrating and laughed at himself: "Cough, there are some things that I will never understand if I haven't experienced it myself, I'm too impatient..."

"Cough cough..." Noah Pei coughed a few times before continuing: "I left a way out for you... Right under... this tree, only you can go out, if you feel If you are lonely in this world, you can go outside and have a look..."

"I have prepared a body for you that can move in the outside world, where you may meet more friends...cough...of course it's more dangerous there..."

Frost: "Will you and Miyuki be there?"

Noah Pei shook his head: "It's gone, she has gone further, and I... will follow her."

"Where's Little Seven?" Frost asked again.

Noah Pei: "He... It's weird. I tried to find him for you, but... uh... he just disappeared out of thin air... I can't find it anywhere."

Frost said stubbornly: "Then I won't go out. I'll wait for him here. Maybe one day he will show up?"

A smile appeared on Noah Pei's face, a little helpless, a little indulgent and pampered: "It's okay... You don't need to make a decision now, time will make you grow... Just go when you want to leave. ."

He raised his arm laboriously, touched the top of Frost's head lightly, and finally warned: "Cough...Enjoy your life, happiness is the most important thing, there is nothing wrong with being ordinary..."

The expectations of fathers for their children are sometimes as simple as that.

He doesn't need to be the most powerful or the smartest, as long as he is with the person he likes and lives a peaceful and happy life. It's just that there are too many unsatisfactory things in life, and the more you experience, the more difficult it is to achieve such a simple wish.

Even if he is regarded as the most shining genius by everyone, Noah Pei's last wish is just that simple.

It is a pity that the good wishes finally came to nothing under the greed of the people.

"Goodbye, Ash..."

Noah Pei's body disappeared in place.

The picture disappeared, and Frost's image reappeared on the screen.

The absurdity and shock in Pei Qing's eyes could not be concealed at all: "Ordinary? Enjoy life??!! The greatest genius of mankind, actually wants to make his final work an ordinary person!!"

Pei Qing ruthlessly overturned all kinds of precious decorations at hand, with a grim expression: "He can obviously create the ultimate weapon that can change the course of history, what can an ordinary person do with it? The world is full of people, what is there to create? of!!!"

It turned out that there was no treasure at all.

After so many years, what they were looking for did not exist at all... He spent nearly half his life, and it was meaningless at all!

Andre, Pei Rong'an, Pei's family, Pei Qing... They were like a group of monkeys fishing for the moon, doing their best to deal with the phantom.

An anger that had been fooled by Noah Pei hit his heart, making it difficult for him to continue to maintain his sanity.

"Hahahahahahahaha-" Pei Qing laughed as he frantically smashed everything in the room like an angry beast.

Until everything around him was smashed to pieces, Pei Qing lay on the ground with strength, looking at Frost who was still calm on the screen.

Pei Qing: "Are you very proud? I'm about to lose everything, and you'll be able to enjoy your freedom right away?"

Frost didn't answer. No matter in the past or in the past, he was not a person who was good at arguing with others. Generally, the person who taunted in this situation was Xiao Qi, and he usually won a big victory.

Thinking of Xiao Qi, Frost's mouth hung a little smile, with a hint of satisfaction and anticipation.

"Hahahahahahaha...I won't die in your hands..." Pei Qing laughed, stretched out his hand and pulled out the necklace around his neck, then opened the necklace and pressed one of the buttons.

"Boom"

Immediately, the entire Hongnak base burst into flames.

In the sea of ​​fire, Pei Qing was still laughing wildly. He knew that according to the hatred between the Pei family and Frost, it would be impossible for Frost to let Noah Pei's face off, but he would never allow himself to be killed just like that.

Dying in his own hands and making the biggest move is his last pride.

The fall of genius should be splendid.

In a basement, the silver-haired man opened his eyes,

This man has the same appearance as Frost, but his skin is no longer so pale, and he has more temperature that belongs to a living person. This is the body that Noah Pei made for him in the last time, which condenses all the genius of this genius. Efforts are made to let their children live freely in the new world.

This body was made hundreds of years ago, and naturally there will be no self-destruction procedures that are common today, nor the many restrictions imposed later.

Frost: "I didn't say I would kill you either..."

He just blocked the base of Hong Nake and then called the police.

According to the laws of the Interstellar Federation, Pei Qing was suspected of illegal organ trafficking, privately establishing armed organizations, robbery, murder and many other crimes. He anonymously handed over the coordinates of the planet and the information of Hong Nake to the department in charge of related matters.

After Andre's death, Frost's memory seal was released, and many of his past memories came back.

This is what Noah Pei once told him. If you want to live well in the outside world, you must be familiar with the law and not touch the border. Breaking the law may allow you to reap huge benefits in a short period of time, but such benefits are temporary, as long as you fail once, you will have nothing.

He also wanted to find Xiao Qi, and wanted to be with Xiao Qi for a long time, so he browsed through the various legal provisions and kept them well.

Before pulling out the data, he took the time to eliminate everything about him on Pei Qing's side, and was no longer worried about the danger of exposure.

Frost stood up: "Now, it's time to find Xiao Qi."

Ruins of Honnak's base.

The fire is still burning, but a spacecraft is spraying fire extinguishing agent above, and it will not take long to bring the fire under control.

Hong Nake is a ferocious group of star thieves. This time, it is not an ordinary star police, but a military warship with powerful firepower. They were all ready to fight Hongnak to the death, but they didn't expect to see the fire at the Hongnak base just after they came over. In the end, they only needed to do a little work to put out the fire.

The person in the lead had a face Xiao Zhi would find familiar. This was the young man among his three neighbors who dined together all day—an outsider. His real name is Erickson, and he is the youngest major general of the Interstellar Federation.

The federal government has been focusing on tracking down Hong Nak, not only for human smuggling, but also for Hong Nak involving a huge source of unidentified funds, and even some federal parliamentarians. development regulations.

Erickson checked the report: "Has the source of the information been identified?"

The subordinate said: "No, the source of the news is very secret, and all traces have been cleaned up."

Erickson chuckled: "It's a master, have you found the members of Hongnak?"

Subordinate: "Not yet. The explosion happened suddenly. Judging from the traces, no one had time to hide in the bunker."

Suddenly someone reported: "Admiral, several survivors were found in the dungeon, all passengers on the passenger ship attacked by Honnak."

Erickson: "Check identity and escort to a nearby planet."

The man handed over a piece of information: "There are two people here who have no identity. They call themselves a11 and a12. They were produced by artificial breeding programs. This time, they are also on passenger ships using illegal means."

Erickson took the information: "It's interesting, there are still people who are engaged in artificial breeding programs in this era. Bring them first and confirm that they are correct before registering their identities."

Unselheim Galaxy, star number 12.

Xiao Zhi was lying on the bed in a daze. He searched around in the game, almost rummaged through Hessen, but couldn't find Frost. If he hadn't really received Andre's kill notification, he would have thought that It was Andre who escaped in secret and took people away.

When Frost was not found, Xiao Zhi was not in the mood to continue playing the game. He declined all kinds of fancy rainbow farts from the players. Xiao Zhi went offline without attending the celebration banquet.

Xiao Zhi turned over: "Where can Asen go?"

Is it because he was angry that he was buried in the pit? No, Assen doesn't know that he did it, although a little investigation can lead to the correct conclusion...

However, Assen is certainly not such a stingy person. He had fooled Assen to jump over the pit before, but Assen was not angry.

Suddenly, the lights in the room went out, and Xiao Zhi was startled: "Power outage?"

No, it seems that the energy source in the interstellar era is no longer electricity. It makes no sense that it will be as fragile as the power grid in the earth era.

"0724, turn on the backup energy." Xiao Zhi said.

The room was quiet, and the ai butler, who was connected to the backup energy source, did not respond at all.

Xiao Zhi frowned: "What's the situation?"

While he was thinking, the door of the room suddenly opened, and it was pitch black outside. There are no satellites near the 12th star, and there is naturally no bright moon in the sky. There are only a few stars that dot the night sky, but they are not enough for lighting, and the night is extraordinarily dark.

Vaguely, Xiao Zhi seemed to see something flashing past and entered the room.

Xiao Zhi was so frightened that the fireball was about to be thrown out, but at the critical moment he heard a familiar voice: "Xiao Qi."

"Assen?" Xiao Zhi was stunned for a moment, suspecting that he had been hallucinating because he played too many games, or that he had just fallen asleep and was just dreaming.

How could Asen come to reality?

Immediately after the door was closed, the lights in the room returned to normal, and everything around was the same as before, except that there was one more person beside the bed.

It was still the familiar handsome face and the dazzling silver hair.

It's just that Frost is wearing this year's Interstellar popular black trench coat, which ranks first in the "How to Wear Online Dating" list. It is said that the success rate of people wearing this dress is as high as 87.23%.

Before Xiao Zhi could speak, he was hugged tightly into a warm embrace. The fabric of the windbreaker is soft, and the hair that brushes against the cheeks is a little itchy, a little sultry, and has a sense of reality that cannot be ignored.

Frost's deep voice sounded in his ears: "This is the first time I've really hugged you, Xiao Qi."

Xiao Zhi smiled, and reached out to hug Frost. It was the first time he hugged Frost with warmth. Less of the bitter wood fragrance from Hesse, more of a human breath.

Xiao Zhi asked, "How did you come out?"

Frost explained to him about Noah Pei, about his own memories, and the entanglement with the Pei family.

Xiao Zhi listened quietly and gently stroked Frost's hair. Fortunately, he has traveled through 600 years and can meet Frost again. don't know if he will age and die with the game body, but in this age of immortality technology, it is not enough to want to live for a long time. It's not a problem anymore.

If there really is a world after death, Noah Pei and Gu Shenxue should be relieved.

Amidst the warmth, Frost suddenly asked, "Xiao Qi, when will we get married?"

Xiao Zhi: "!"

What is the turning point?

Perhaps his stiffness was too obvious. Frost let go of his embrace and looked into Xiao Zhi's eyes seriously: "Didn't you propose to me? And I agreed."

Xiao Zhi was confused and wondered if he had crossed into a parallel space: "When?"

Frost: "I know that in human culture, giving a ring means a marriage proposal. You gave me a total of 712, which is 712 marriage proposals."

Xiao Zhi: "..."

A large number of pictures suddenly popped out from the corners of his memory. For a while, he was very interested in jewelry making. When he had nothing to do, he made a few rings to practice his hands. Because the rings required few materials, they were very suitable for poor newbies at that time. player.

It is a pity that he embarked on the road of chopping cubs and became a player addicted to fighting, and the road of jewelry making master died prematurely.

What happened to those practice rings?

like……

He gave them all to Assen as toys! At that time, Asen was a little hesitant to receive the gift. He originally thought that Assen didn't like it and was embarrassed to refuse. Was he thinking about accepting his marriage proposal? ? ?

Still more than seven hundred times! ! !

He can be sure that he has not taught Assen this cold human knowledge, is it taught by Noah Pei? !

"!!!" Xiao Zhi's eyes widened, if he told the truth, would Asen turn his face on the spot...

Frost pressed Xiao Zhi's shoulders, his tone was serious and careful: "Do you want to go back on your words?"

Xiao Zhi met those clear platinum-gold eyes, and he couldn't say what he explained. Although he felt it was abrupt, he didn't seem to have the will to refuse.

It seems that this is not bad. If he is not with this person, he cannot imagine who he can walk with in his future life.

The corners of Xiao Zhi's mouth curved up.

"Which day do you like?"

"today."

"Is the marriage registration time closed today?"

"I can hack the marriage registration system and add us."

"...By the way, do you have an identity? Black households cannot get married."

"I will hack the identity system immediately."

"Abide by the law as promised!"
