Xiao Zhi noticed that Frost's voice was not right, and he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Frost: "It's okay...for now I can only...help you guide..."

Xiao Zhi instantly understood that there was probably something on Frost's side that made him unable to escape. He didn't ask any more questions, so as not to distract Frost's energy, he simply said, "Okay."

Under the guidance of Frost, Xiao Zhi walked all the way towards the opponent's position.

There were still many star thieves on the way, they replaced the night vision equipment and continued to attack Xiao Zhi. But Frost always pointed out in advance that there was danger ahead, so that Xiao Zhi could deal with it immediately.

Having allocated some computing power to guide Xiao Zhi, Frost felt a little more pressure when dealing with Pei Qing's attack.

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. With just his brain power, he can compete with AI.

Time passed by, and both sides were doing their best.

Xiao Zhi also felt that Frost's instructions to guide him were getting slower and slower, like an old gear, it was working hard while whining, and it would collapse completely at some point.

Xiao Zhi clenched his staff tightly, and the movements in his hands were faster and more accurate. He needed to move faster so that Frost could fully cope with his crisis.

At this moment, the original apprehension and hesitation in his heart disappeared, and Xiao Zhi made a move without any scruples, as if he was invincible, he dealt with the star thieves who dared to block the way without mercy.

He must win.

He has to defeat these vicious guys.

He also has to find Asen, and then leave together, and must not fall here.

Finally, Xiao Zhi found Frost sitting quietly with his eyes closed at the innermost part of a passage. There was only a faint light in the passage. In fact, Frost's whole picture could not be seen clearly, but just a little bit of light was enough to let him know that this was the person he was looking for.

It's a pity that this is obviously the first time the two meet in reality, but they can't be gentle.

Frost looked like he was asleep, unresponsive to everything in the outside world, and Xiao Zhi knew that he must be fighting the hardest battle.

He stood by quietly, never letting any change disturb Frost.

The confrontation between Frost and Pei Qing is coming to an end.

Pei Qing's forehead kept dripping with sweat, and the movements of his hands were about to appear afterimages, and his muscles began to throb, but the defense of the entire base began to crumble, as if mocking. Be realistic.

Pei Qing gritted his teeth and continued to launch the next round of attacks.

He's not going to lose, not to Frost, not to this Noah Pei work.

He will never... lose to Noah Pei!

In the last round of offensive, the two sides once again hedged head-on.

...

Time passed and Frost hadn't woken up yet, but there were loud footsteps again near the passage.

The star thieves are chasing.

Judging from the sound, the number is much higher than any previous time, and the rumbling sound almost drowns the two lonely and lonely people.

Xiao Zhi got up quickly, looked back at Frost, and said softly, "I'll be right back."

Frost was silent, not answering.

"Kill them!"

"The intruder is over there!"

Star thieves carrying various heavy weapons stepped into the passage, no need to doubt, these weapons are enough to blast two big living people into pieces.

But what greeted them was more splendid than flames, hotter than lava—

natural disaster.

The narrow passage seemed to be transformed into a hell on earth in an instant. Countless hot rocks fell mercilessly along with flames and lava, destroying everything that dared to break into this area.

A howling.

Xiao Zhi stopped at the other end of the red lotus hell, his eyes were red with the firelight: "Don't even think about going there."

Inside the secret room.

The overhead light suddenly turned on, the warm yellow light illuminated the room clearly, and the ventilation system started to operate again, dispelling the slightly turbid air in the room, and everything seemed to be getting better.

Pei Qing retracted his hand slumped, fell on the chair, and used his hands at high speed for a long time, causing his finger muscles to twitch subconsciously, as if he was out of control. As a person who has been surrounded by genius since childhood, Pei Qing experienced powerlessness and despair for the first time.

He failed and lost control of the base.

Now he is just a little bug in the opponent's hand, and he can let the opponent kill him.

He let out a hoarse laugh as if talking to himself: "Hahahahaha...Is this the work of Noah Pei...hahaha...It's as difficult as the mastermind...Everyone says Noah Pei Pei's last work is zero...but, it should be you, right?"

Frost on the screen is still calm and calm: "In terms of time, my birth is indeed later than the master mind of zero."

Pei Qing stared into Frost's eyes, trying to read the answer: "Want to kill me?"

Frost did not answer, and there was no trace on his face, it was difficult to tell whether he wanted or not at the moment.

AI is really foul at hiding emotions.

Pei Qing laughed at himself with a weak smile: "Tell me, what treasure did Noah Pei leave 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 hoarsely: "How is it possible! He entered zero once before he died, and that was the time to see you, right? The duration will be 46 minutes and 32 seconds, and you still want to deny it?!"

Frost: "..."

He silently looked at Pei Qing who had a frantic look on his face for a while.

Frost's figure on the screen suddenly disappeared, and it turned into a video. The picture in the video was Hesse, whom Pei Qing was very familiar with. Frost was sitting alone under the tree in a daze. A position that seems to be waiting for something.

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 again, it's like deep snow." Frost read a subtle difference from this sentence. This "death" seems to be similar to the resurrection of the Athanasi people. Death is not the same, but represents - 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 It's 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... cough... he seems to have 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 warned for the last time: "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 unbelievably 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.

"That's all," said Frost in a calm voice.

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, letting them fall to pieces on the ground, his expression full of ridicule: "Hahaha... He can obviously create the ultimate weapon that can change the course of history, an ordinary person. What do you use it for? The world is full of people, what is there to create!!!”

It turned out that there was no treasure at all.

After so many years, what they were looking for did not exist at all...

From the youth to the present, all the time he spent was meaningless at all!

Andre, Pei Rong'an, Pei's family, and Pei Qing himself... They were like a group of monkeys chasing the moon, trying their best to deal with the phantom. Is Noah Pei very proud? A work from 600 years ago, a rumor from nowhere, can so easily play everyone with applause.

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

At the same time, the entrance to the passage in front of Xiao Zhi suddenly closed, separating him from the star thieves who had been coming. The emergency security doors everywhere were also blocked, and the entire Hongnak base seemed to be completely blocked, and no one could easily enter and exit.

Xiao Zhi finally put down the potion bottle in his hand. Although he looked handsome in the battle just now, his big moves were very mana-intensive. He almost ran out of stock. After he finished fighting Andre, he had no supplies I went off the assembly line, and at this time there were no bottles of medicine in the bag.

After confirming that the access door in front was strong enough, he looked in the direction behind him. Although Frost had not woken up, the situation seemed to be under control.

Only then did Xiao Zhi feel in the mood to carefully examine Frost's new body.

It was still the familiar handsome face and the dazzling silver hair, but the usual black armor or light armor was replaced by a well-cut black trench coat with excellent texture.

What he didn't know was that this was the most popular style in Interstellar this year, ranking 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%.

Xiao Zhi couldn't help but reached out and poked Frost's cheek lightly.

The touch is soft, but it is not as cold as imagined, but brings a burst of warmth. If you look closely, you can see human-like fluff on his face, and the cyan blood vessels under the skin are faintly visible, just like a real living person.

Unable to hold back, Xiao Zhi poked again and had a great time playing.

He guarded Frost, quietly waiting for the moment when the other person opened his eyes.

"Hahahahahaha..." Pei Qing's laughter echoed in the room, hoarse but harsh.

When he finally had enough laughing, he turned to look at Frost: "What are you going to do with me?"

Frost: "I called the police."

"..." Pei Qing didn't know what expression to face for a while, an AI, an AI who just came out of the game world, actually said that he had called the police? !

When was in Hesse, never saw you so disciplined.

Frost: "According to the laws of the Interplanetary Federation, you are suspected of illegal organ trafficking, privately establishing armed organizations, robbery, and murder. I anonymously handed all the coordinates of this planet and the information of Hongnak to the department in charge of related matters. "

"Count the time, they should already be on their way."

Pei Qing burst into a burst of laughter, as if he had heard the funniest joke: "Hahaha, do you want to see me ruined? The most outstanding person in the Pei family is known as the next promise. The people of Ya Pei ended up getting a bad reputation for breaking the law, hahahaha...how ridiculous..."

He wasn't actually afraid of death, and if he was afraid of death, he wouldn't be able to do so many crazy things.

Obviously he is already a genius of the Pei family, why is there an insurmountable Noah Pei in front of him? Therefore, he has been competing with the unreachable back all his life, almost to the point of paranoia.

Frost's move really hit his most painful spot.

Pei Qing couldn't accept his embarrassing failure, he didn't allow himself to lose so ugly and have nothing.

Like a sad and ridiculous bereaved dog.

Pei Qing suddenly reached out and pulled out the necklace around his neck, then opened the cover on the necklace, and quickly pressed one of the buttons.

After doing all this, Pei Qing threw the necklace in his hand on the ground with relief, and sat back upright on the chair, the calm demeanor seemed to be back, he looked at Frost with a smile: "I don't will make you wish."

"Boom"

Immediately, the entire Hongnak base burst into flames, and the high temperature was scattered with flying sand and debris. Everyone was caught off guard by the sudden sea of ​​fire.

The flames also devoured Pei Qing, but in the firelight, Pei Qing's smile was still arrogant, as if standing on the top of a mountain overlooking the small beings below.

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

The fall of genius should be dazzling.

The explosion did not spare Xiao Zhi and Frost.

When the heat and flames hit, Xiao Zhi only had time to put a magic shield on himself, and then subconsciously rushed towards Frost, who still didn't open his eyes, and desperately used his body to block Frost and Frost. Between the overwhelming firelight.

The magic shield was as fragile as a piece of paper under the powerful explosion. The impact of the explosion was accompanied by burning pain, mercilessly piercing Xiao Zhi's nerves.

His mind went blank, and he only had time to hug Frost's body tightly, blocking as much damage as possible.

Consciousness faded quickly, and he seemed to hear someone shouting in the dimness.

What is that man talking about? It seemed very sad and heartbreaking.

But Xiao Zhi can't hear clearly anymore, the front is pitch black, and there seems to be a little silver across the pitch black, it's very beautiful... As the last color of life, it's not bad...

Frost did not expect that Pei Qing would be crazy enough to blow up the entire base. The button of the explosion was not connected to the main control of the base, and he had no time to stop it.

When he hurriedly returned to his body, he only saw Xiao Qi rushing towards him, using his body to block the violent explosion for him.

After the fire and the loud noise dissipated, Xiao Qi'an lay quietly in his arms, just like every time she fell asleep.

But there was a lot of blood on Xiao Qi's body, a lot, so much that it was impossible to calculate. The air was filled with pungent blood. He could analyze that the smell was because the blood contained a lot of iron elements, but he couldn't explain why the smell would make people feel the pain of being pierced in the heart.

He shouted Xiao Qi's name, but Xiao Qi did not respond to him with a smile as usual.

He called again and again, but Xiao Qi remained silent.

A drop of crystal clear liquid suddenly landed on the back of Frost's hand, slipping from the corner of his eye.

For humans this is called tears, they cry when they are sad, sometimes when they are happy or angry.

Xiao Qi never taught him how to cry, because they were always happy when they were together, and there was no need to cry. But at this moment, Frost himself understood how to cry. He suddenly understood Noah Pei's eyes after Gu Shenxue's death. It turned out that it was the pain that his soul was torn apart.

It turns out that tears are so painful.

He stroked Xiao Zhi's blood-stained and dusty cheek: "Xiao Qi, wake up..."

"We agreed to go to Earth together, didn't we?"

"Don't sleep, okay..."

In the ruins, only his own self-talk echoed in a low voice. Holding a blood-stained and gradually cold corpse, he looked like a madman.

I don't know how long it took, the scorching temperature in the air has cooled down.

A cold hand gently touched Frost's cheek: "Cough...Asen..."

Frost raised his head in surprise and found that his little Qi actually opened his eyes. Although he was still weak, he did have a pulse and his body temperature was recovering little by little.

Xiao Zhi showed his usual smile: "It seems that I am probably the only real Asanasi in this world."

In reality, without the realm of Asanasi, he became a resurrection in situ, which seemed to be stronger. But it really hurts to die once, it's much more painful than in the game, so it's better not to come next time.

Xiao Zhi often couldn't help but wonder, why did he travel to the game 600 years later? Unfortunately, there is no God in this world who can answer this question for him.

But now he has found the answer himself, probably to make Asen no longer alone.
