Chapter 606 Prologue (II): Out of control
“Let me explain in advance, we are not here specifically to celebrate your birthday, so don’t be sentimental.”
As soon as he entered the house, Yidong He stuffed the turtle back to Mo Tan, then put on his slippers with ease, threw himself on the sofa and looked at the latter with a stern face: "It's just that there was a plan to break up for dinner in the past two days, and it's us in City B. We spent the last Chinese New Year at my house. This time it coincides with your birthday, so we all came together to celebrate it. Be happy!”
“I’m so happy, tell me why. Is it a break-up meal? "
Mo Tan asked casually, then turned around and pushed the group of people crowded into the room: "No need to change shoes, my place is not big. Just go back and tidy up, and go in and have a rest.”
"Haha, it's said to be a break-up meal, but actually we are about to start school soon. For example, students like Xiaoge and Xiaodao who started school early are actually already several days late, so we all have to hurry up and get out."< br>
The tall Cui Xiaoyu explained the meaning of this 'party meal' while ducking the wind chimes and walking into the house. Then he shook the bag of ingredients in his hand: "Where to put this?"< br>
"Just put it on the kitchen shelf. I didn't expect everyone to come over. I'll go out and replenish some materials later."
Mo Tan pointed in the direction of the kitchen, and the amusement in his eyes quietly faded away. , but unknowingly turned back to the 'absolute neutral' state, and said with a smile: "I have been dealing with the school a little less these years, and I almost forgot that it is the beginning of the school season. You all want to eat something, I I just went to buy it, and I’ll be cooking when I get back."
Then Yu Chen frowned slightly and said hesitantly: "That..."
"What?"
Mo Tan looked over nervously.
"Mo Tan, haven't you been writing papers recently?"
The girl blinked and asked innocently: "It stands to reason that you should always deal with the school, right? ”
“Hahahahahaha~!”
Yi Dong burst out laughing and fell from the sofa to the floor. Although he didn't say anything unnecessary, Mo Tan immediately understood this guy's thoughts from his wild laughter - you are the only one who has missed three classes this semester. How can you write a thesis when you have only been working for a few months?
"Ha...haha..."
Mo Tan laughed dryly. He knew that after hearing Yu Ying say that Yu Chen was actually just 'when he was telling the truth' A casual excuse will most likely reveal the truth. , so I didn’t even explain, and just changed the topic abruptly: "So what do you want to eat?"
The answers were the expected responses of 'whatever', 'anything goes', and 'see. Come on', 'It doesn't matter'.
Many young people nowadays have this kind of behavior. They don’t have to be particular or specific, as long as it’s not unpalatable. And if it’s a treat or cooking with friends, it doesn’t matter even if it’s a bit unpalatable. Anyway, we get together. My original intention is not to eat, but I am picky when ordering takeout.
But it’s not that I haven’t been more concerned about this aspect, for example...
“I’ll go with you!”
Today I wore a large sweatshirt + overalls + a high-brimmed hat The combination, Ji Xiaoge, who looked very hip-hop, was eager to try. He raised his hand in a particularly cheerful manner and said: "It's inappropriate to let Mo Tan, who is on the day of breaking out of the shell, cook alone. Let me help!" < br>
"Broken... broken shell?!"
Mo Tan was stunned at first, and after reacting for a few seconds, he showed an expression of extreme horror, and swallowed with a pale face: "Help...help?!"
The girl with a very deceptive appearance nodded vigorously: "Yeah!"
"Sister..."
Then she stood next to Ji Xiaoge and looked at everyone coldly. Ji Xiaodao, who was chatting, helped to resolve the situation, tugged on his sister's sleeves, shook his head and said, "Just stay and chat with everyone today."
"Why!"
Ji Xiaoge looked unhappy.
"Because today is Mo Tan's birthday."
"Then what?"
"It would be somewhat inappropriate if it becomes a death anniversary."
"Xiao Dao! How could you say that about your sister?”
Ji Xiaoge hugged her sister with a look of grievance on her face and pitifully bumped her forehead against her chin: "Dad praised my progress in my skills last night! It took a lot of effort for me to muster up the confidence! You don't know How unpleasant that bastard’s words are!”
"What bastard?"
Kang Lan, who was playing with the coffee pot, turned around and asked curiously: "What bastard?"
Ji Xiaoge pursed her lips with a gloomy expression: "It's okay!"
Ji Xiaodao rubbed his sister's hair and sighed helplessly: "Although dad did praise sister last night for the improvement in your craftsmanship, but..."
"But? ”
"I quit the game early this morning. It was about five o'clock."
"Then what?"
"Dad was still holding the toilet in the toilet and vomiting. "
"..."
Ji Xiaoge slid down from Ji Xiaodao softly, and sat on his knees on the floor as if the power was out, his face ashen.
Ji Xiaodao shook his head, lifted his sister up and put her on the sofa opposite Yi Dong. He waved his hand to Mo Tan, who was standing frozen in the hall, meaning, "Sister, I have already done it for you. Go ahead and do what you need to do." . ’
Then Mo Tan handed the turtle in his hand to Yuchen who came up to help, and dragged Wan Yang, who seemed idle and idle, out to replenish ingredients.
……
Same time
City B, Dexin District, B3F conference room of a courier company
"Wutong-chan, don't you look a little too bad today?"
Gu Yanyue blinked and looked at the man diagonally opposite who was lying on the chair like a dehydrated salted fish, and said curiously: "Did Xiao Xi make something delicious for you again?"
The petite woman sitting next to the 'Wutong Jiang' immediately shook her head and smiled softly: "It's not me, yesterday Xiaoge made dinner.”
The handsome guy next to Gu Yanyue...that is, Yinan, Yidong's father, sighed leisurely and glanced at the man named 'Xiao Xi'. The woman: "Then the child can order whatever you want. He has to learn cooking skills."
"Well..."
As a result, Xiao Xi shrank her neck and whispered: "You can't kill your child's hobby."
On the other side of the table, the silver-haired Shota, who looked like she was only in her teens, now But he sneered: "If Wan Yang also has this hobby, and her craftsmanship is as good as that of the eldest daughter of Ye Xi's family..."
"Tuck it back and reborn."
Two legs are crossed next to her. The red-haired lady followed calmly without raising her eyelids.
The long black man next to Ye Xi poked the man in an elite suit next to him and said in a low voice: "Fortunately, our Lanlan is still normal."
"Haha...haha..."
The latter laughed dryly, and did not tell the story about how his children used their 'sixth sense' to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages every time.
“That’s almost it!”
The man Gu Yanyue called Wutong Jiang, who was lying on the chair like a salted fish, straightened up with difficulty, and hummed with a look on his face: " What kind of children are you showing off? Show off your children, talk about business, talk about business!”
Everyone was very considerate and stopped talking. They just quietly played with their mobile phones, read magazines, played games, listened to music, and cooked hot pot...
"Silly pig, if you keep eating, I'll cook you!"
Ji Xiaoge and Ji Xiaodao's father vomited in the toilet for the whole night last night due to food poisoning. Ji Wutong said viciously to The one in the corner of the conference room is conservatively estimated to weigh more than three hundred pounds. The rich man threatened: "I will keep my word!" Then the fat man put out the fire in frustration, walked back to the table listlessly, and after sitting on a chair that collapsed, he took out a skeletal skull from nowhere. Mazar came and huddled there pitifully.
“Very good, that’s right, now everyone listen to me... Damn, Kang Xiaofeng, put down the game console, sister Liu Li, put the magazine away, Cui Fan, you Stop watching Playboy, Qianhan, take off your headphones quickly, Yinan, your dear wife is right next to you, don’t play with paper figures. "Daughter-in-law, please send a message to ask the two girls what they are doing now, and tell Xiaodao that dad is fine."
Ji Wutong patted the table hard, finally calming down the crowd. He came down, coughed twice, and said seriously: "First of all, the first thing..."
Everyone turned their attention to him.
"Our two girls are the best! I won't accept any objection!"
Yinan took out the knife on the spot.
"Ahem, just to liven up the atmosphere."
Ji Wutong laughed dryly, shrugged and said: "There is bad news and worse news, which one do you want to hear first."< br>
"Worse."
The little girl in a white dress said without hesitation.
"Okay."
Ji Wutong did not hesitate, spread his hands and said: "Just two days ago, the Innocence Realm finally got completely out of control. Silly Pig had completely lost control of the entire system. control authority. To put it simply, we can no longer observe that from God’s perspective. "
A tall and graceful beauty wearing a pair of bright red headphones at the table frowned: "Boss Du guessed it right after all, but although it can't be observed from a God's perspective, then Can we use the game perspective? ”
"No."
The fat man sitting on the horse shook his head and said without thinking: "Don't forget that we were the people who dealt with the 'karma' the most back then. Although the 'karma' has almost disappeared now Yes, but on the body There are not a lot of 'rewards' at all, and the system of that world was built with 'karma' as the core from the beginning. If we go in, we will probably be targeted to a crazy level, and we will be struck by lightning as soon as we come up. Maybe...well, Liu Sister Li, what do you want to say?”
With a pair of beautiful ice-blue eyes, the straight black woman named Liu Li blinked and said hesitantly: “I just think it’s nothing to be struck by lightning. It’s not a big deal, according to your system According to the traditional rules, with our ability, our 'talent' in the realm of innocence should be good, so what if we are struck by lightning?"
"No"
<. br>“No.”
Kang Xiaofeng and Ji Wutong, who were sitting next to her, said in unison.
Liu Li turned to look at her husband: "Why not."
"I don't know."
The latter smiled and said with a grin: " I just know what Boss Ji will say.”
“You are so smart.”
Ji Wutong glanced at him with a smile, shook his head and said: "Xiao Liu's conjecture just now has some truth, but we can't do that. The reason is very simple. With the 'talents' of people like us, it is very possible to directly Then the system is down, otherwise it will cause Let it grow rapidly and become a real 'business' instead of the fragments it is now, so this plan was impossible to implement from the beginning."
"Okay..."
< br>Liu Li sighed and yawned continuously. He leaned down on the table: "Hey, what's the other bad news?"
"Don't worry, the worse news hasn't been finished yet."
But Ji Wutong was He said something that made everyone present look grim, and then he said it with ten words. He said in a painful tone: "On the basis that the system was completely out of control, I also discovered an even weirder situation, that is, the piece of 'karma' that I cut off back then, as the core of the system, seems to have developed self-awareness. .”
Yi Nan, who was suspected of having facial paralysis, was no longer calm now, and asked in surprise: "What did you say happened!?"
"Self-awareness, man."
Ji Wutong smacked his lips , holding his cheek and said: "You heard it right, to put it simply, that thing is 'alive', that thing that was originally just a rule has become a brain, and it didn't happen just recently, it's just that it It was so well concealed that no clues were revealed until it was completely out of my control."
"This is impossible!"
Wan Yang looks like his eldest nephew. My father was also very shocked.
"I can't believe it as much as you do, but it's the truth."
Ji Wutong's face didn't look very good either, and he didn't know whether it was because of the current topic itself or the meal last night.
"Now that Ji Wutong has determined it, let's not waste time discussing the truth or falsehood of the matter."
A delicate woman in a white coat lightly tapped the table. He said calmly: "The question now is how to solve the problem, how to find the 'phenomenon' when the system is out of control, and what is the attitude of the small piece of 'karma' that has sprouted self-awareness? Since you said it is alive Well, what is its attitude? From the perspective of the concept of 'karma', it should be a 'dead enemy' to that phenomenon. Maybe it will actively cooperate with us after awakening its consciousness?"
Ji Wutong glanced at her and smiled dryly: "If it actively cooperates with us, do you think I would still use the term 'out of control'?"
"Then what is its attitude?"
"The attitude is no attitude. It is completely locked and closed. To put it simply, it is non-violence and non-cooperation."
It was snorted by the fat man called Silly Pig. With a cry, he said angrily: "Obviously I built the system for it. It doesn't matter if I turn into a beautiful girl and throw myself into my arms. But now you don't even bother me. I really want to smash the server."
“If I want to get a girl with your body type, it would take a pretty big girl to do it.”
The little girl has begun to float around the room like a ghost. Hearing this, he immediately vomited.
Then Ji Wutong laughed unkindly for three whole minutes.
"Okay, the worse news has been finished for now. There are still some areas that can be expanded. Let's talk about it later."
After laughing, he did not forget the business and was lazy. He crossed his legs and said: "As for the bad news, that is that after the situation completely got out of control, according to Boss Du's latest predictions, the children of each of our families...well, including Shazhu's half-disciple, all They are very clearly involved in this matter. In the near future, they may play a decisive role in that world. Obviously, our previous speculation has come true.”
For a time, the entire conference room. Silence fell.
“We have shouldered the ‘retribution’, and the next generation will inherit the ‘karma’ or ‘karma’ that has not yet been dissipated.”
Ji Wutong's expression finally became completely serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Before the matter is completely resolved, try to get the children to gather in City B. Boss Du said, even if the previous plan was completely out of control, as a place of cause and effect, Here, there is still a chance to break the situation..."
"What about us?"
Yinan raised his head with a gloomy expression and looked at Ji Wutong steadily: "That's it. Watching? Watching the children put themselves in danger?"
"There is some risk, but not dangerous."
The fat man on the horse shook his head and said softly: "Don't forget that our original intention of creating that thing was to prevent the world from danger."
"Face the reality, man..."
Ji Wutong sighed with a bitter smile and shrugged to Yi Nan: "Unfortunately, the reality is just like what I said during the New Year..."
"We have been ordered to withdraw from this stage... right?"
Yinan clenched his fists hard.
"Yes, but there is one thing you should not forget."
Ji Wutong stood up, put his hands on the table and smiled proudly...
"When we saved the world, we were not much older than these juniors. Can we give the young people more confidence?"
