9pm.
In Lu's laboratory.
Lu Shixu raised his hand and glanced at his watch, feeling that it was almost time.
He told his assistant Tao An:
"Prepare the car."
Then he was ready to leave for Nanfeng Tower.
He knew that today was the last night of filming for this variety show, and the opening hours of Nanfeng Building would be slightly later than usual.
Therefore, he sets off now and should be able to pick up Nanzhi Nanyi from get off work when he arrives!
Lu Shixu counted the time accurately and was about to leave.
But there was news that stopped him in his tracks.
Lu Shixu was quite unhappy:
"Self-aware artificial intelligence? Do you still want to talk to me?"
The laboratory staff nodded nervously.
But this fear was not about the landing sequence, but about the unknown thing in the laboratory.
Or should it be called a creature?
The staff felt like they were about to get goosebumps just thinking about it!
Lu Shixu noticed the state of his subordinates and frowned, knowing that he had to go this time.
He looked at his watch again, planning to finish it as soon as possible within 10 minutes. Later, he would go to pick up Nanzhi Nanyi from get off work and urge the driver to drive faster.
Lu Shixu changed direction and walked towards the depths of the laboratory. After passing numerous identity verifications, he finally arrived at a pure white laboratory.
In the glass-enclosed chamber, a metallic square body was soaked in the solution. It was spinning from time to time, as if it had self-awareness.
The moment Lu Shixu stepped in, the cube suddenly came to a standstill.
There was nothing strange about the cube on the surface, but it seemed like eyes sprouted out of thin air, staring at Lu Shixu!
Lu Shixu could feel the gaze in the void, with huge and terrifying malice...
"You all get out."
Lu Shixu said to the laboratory members who were trembling with fear.
Others find it weird and can't wait to leave.
Only the team leader was unwilling and clamored to stay and record the data.
"I can do it myself."
Lu Shixu began to drive people away.
The team leader finally knew that his arms could not hold his thighs, so he turned around angrily.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Shixian and the so-called "system" were the only ones left in the laboratory.
Lu Shixu was too lazy to practice Tai Chi and got straight to the point:
"I heard you want to see me?"
The black screen of the computer in front of him suddenly lit up.
On the pure black background, a line of words appeared crackling——
[Insignificant human being, do you know who I am? How dare you do this to me! 】
Lu Shixu sneered:
"Is this the trick you used just now to scare my people?"
The words on the computer screen no longer jump.
This time, it was replaced by a stereo.
There was a synthesized electronic sound inside, word by word, awkward and eerie:
【What about this? Animals from a mere low-dimensional world don’t really think they can trap me like this, do they? 】
There was strong suppressed anger in the electronic sound, causing the speakers to continuously emit a sizzling sound of electricity, which sounded a bit harsh.
Only Lu Shi’s face remained unchanged:
"But the fact is that you are trapped here by me now. If I am not wrong, the only way you can do it now is to control the computer screen? Control the sound? Sorry, this little hacker trick, I You can do it in elementary school.”
Lu Shixu raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyebrows full of sarcasm!
The system felt offended and was furious:
【idiot! Lowly insects! You don't understand anything at all! How dare you trap the great me in this little jar? Do you really think you can lock me here? When I go out, I want all of you and that idiot Chang Mu to be buried with me! 】Lu Shixu said calmly:
"Oh."
As he spoke, he looked down at his watch for the third time, urging with some impatience,
"So you called me here just to talk nonsense?"
He turned around neatly and was about to leave.
【etc! 】
The system hurriedly stopped him.
Lu Shixu stopped and turned slightly to the side in disgust, his eyebrows sarcastic and arrogant:
"Anything else?"
The system feels that it has not been insulted like this for a long time, as if it has really become a prisoner who has lost its freedom!
This made him almost lose his mind and blurt out:
【Lu Shixu! Do you really think you have everything under control? Let me tell you, I have long thought that this might happen! So I have planted a "landmine" around your beloved Nanzhi. I want you to see this "landmine" explode with your own eyes when you are happiest! 】
Lu Shixu couldn't tolerate the system mentioning Nazhi's name so disdainfully:
"What do you mean?"
Fortunately, the system still has the last bit of sanity.
Apart from dropping this sentence, it refused to say anything else.
Lu Shixu knew that if he pressed the question in a hurry, he would only be led by the system.
He didn't know how much effort he spent on this, but he resisted the urge to rush in and crush the cube, and forced himself out of the room.
People in the laboratory were waiting outside, asking with their eyes how it was going.
Lu Shixu closed his eyes and adjusted his emotions:
"Don't let anyone in next, just monitor and watch. Also, cut off the network in this area."
Fortunately, the information in Lu's laboratory has always been kept on paper rather than entirely on the Internet, so there is no need to worry about this.
...Of course, Lu Shixu had no intention of thinking about this at this time!
He walked out of the research institute seemingly calmly, waited until he got in the car, and then squeezed out a sentence from his throat:
"Let's go as soon as possible!"
Not only was his voice tight, it actually sounded a little trembling!
Both the driver and Tao An knew the seriousness of the matter. They didn't even dare to take a breath at the moment and quickly drove towards Nanfeng Tower!
Lu Shixu leaned his back against the soft leather chair, but his body could not feel relaxed at all.
Until... he stretched out his fingers and touched the wooden beads on his wrist.
The low-quality wooden beads that he once had have become smooth and shiny over the years.
Smelling the natural light woody fragrance, Lu Shixu's restless soul calmed down slightly.
He lowered his head, looked at the beads on his wrist, and smiled bitterly and nostalgically.
He and Nanzhi have met so many times, and this string of beads has always been hanging on his wrist.
It’s a pity that Nanzhi never recognized him——
This string of beads was a gift from her to him.
It was once that the two of them went to worship at a Taoist temple that was said to be very effective in making marriages.
At a small stall halfway up the mountain, Nanzhi fell in love with this string of beads at a glance and said that it was very beautiful and matched his temperament very well.
Because of her words, Lu Shixu, who was carrying either a million-dollar watch or rare small-leaf rosewood or golden nanmu, actually felt that the string of flowing beads became more delicate.
The two of them took the string of beads and went to the temple to consecrate it, and Nanzhi personally brought it to Lu Shixu.
As she took it, she muttered:
'I hope Lu Shixu is safe and healthy...' (End of chapter)
