"I understand."
Meng Fei thought to himself, how dare I not understand?
"Help! Help!"
While Meng Fei was still struggling, hoarse screams came from outside their dilapidated mecha that had been corroded by the virus.
"Ms. Xuannv, please help me! I'm infected by the virus!"
Meng Fei couldn't help but turn his eyes and glance outside the open cabin door.
A wretched old man in ragged clothes and covered in blood was crawling in frantically.
If it weren't for the iconic Mediterranean bald head and the wavy white hair around it, he would definitely not have recognized him as Lao Li.
"Quick, help me."
He climbed into the cabin with great difficulty, but could not stand up, so he could only crawl forward on his hands and knees. Seeing Suzaku in front of him, he seemed to see a life-saving straw.
"I'm infected by the virus and will die soon!"
He grabbed Suzaku's ankle.
"Ms. Xuannv, help me!"
"You might as well die now."
Suzaku just raised his foot and kicked, and Lao Li had already flown five hundred meters away, turning into a small black dot in the sky.
"Oh, this wretched old man was not infected by the virus at all. He was just too frightened and temporarily unable to use his abilities. Otherwise, he would have run away long ago.
"Do you think Luo An has so much computing power to infect others at the same time? He is here specifically to deal with you."
Seeing Meng Fei's shocked eyes, she curled her lips and explained sheepishly.
"But I have a way for us to go back quickly."
Another idea popped into Meng Fei's mind.
"any solution?"
Suzaku asked as she continued what she was doing.
"You don't need to completely remove the virus from my consciousness. You just need to remove part of it and slow it down."
While enduring the discomfort, Meng Fei explained patiently. The constant torment of the Goddess of Destruction in his mind gave him a particularly weird and nauseating feeling.
A more serious discomfort than running naked in front of everyone.
"If the infection takes longer than the time it takes for us to return to Tiantong Mountain to notify them, then you can wait until we return to completely eliminate the virus that infected me."
"No."
Suzaku seemed to have transformed from an exquisite soft-body doll into a porcelain doll that was equally exquisite but completely impossible to handle.
"You still don't understand. As long as there is a slight possibility of you being in danger, we will not leave here."
"No, there won't be any danger."
Meng Fei has already prepared his next plan.
"I will open a backup branch. In the backup branch, we don't go anywhere, we just clean the virus here until it is clean.
"In the main plot, you can help me with the preliminary processing, and then we will return directly to Tiantong Mountain.
"If I end up being completely infected in the main plot, you can destroy that world and we can travel to the branch plot."
Suzaku felt that time and space rippled slightly, and everything seemed to be dazzled by rippling double images.
But this scene only lasted for a moment, and then the two world lines parted ways and went in their own directions.
Suzaku in the main line is actually unable to feel everything that happens in the branch. But she is the goddess of destruction and has the authority to actively destroy this world line.
Once she takes the initiative to destroy, she can take her divine memory and choose another world line that still exists to live in.
At this time, her hand reached into Meng Fei's brain, as if she had grabbed something. She tried to pull it out, but the thing was very solid and did not move.
"I also have a solution."
she smiled.
"any solution?"
“Luo An’s virus infects you through this thing, and it also spreads to other parts of your consciousness through it.
"As long as it is destroyed, the spread of the virus will be greatly slowed down. For at least 24 hours, there should be no possibility of your consciousness being controlled by the virus."
"Then what are you waiting for?"
Meng Fei breathed a sigh of relief.
At least his plan of exchanging quality for time, which only "mitigates" but does not "eradicate", is feasible.
As long as they rush back to Tiantong Mountain in a shorter time than Luo An expected, Luo An's plan may be stopped!
"Well, I've already started."
At the same time, he also felt that bursts of destructive extraordinary power were erupting from the fingertips of the delicate hand in his mind.
"Hello!"
Meng Fei suddenly felt something bad.
How did Luo An infect him?
It's XE.
Suzaku is removing XE?
"Hey, do you really want to delete this?"
Since he came to this world, it can be said that he has relied on XE to survive.
If there was no XE, why would he fight against evil gods like Taotie? Why should you protect your wife?
"It's okay, don't worry."
Suzaku explained while operating.
"This program is nothing more than a step-by-step upgrade system that prevents you from abusing your abilities and damaging your brain.
"Being without it doesn't impair your abilities. It's just that you've lost your restraints and you need to control your own abilities.
"Even if you really need it, I will have time to install a new one for you later."
"Wait, you mean, I already have this ability? Isn't it brought about by the BUG program?"
Meng Fei felt like he had discovered something new.
"Of course, you have the same abilities in every life. Didn't you experience the age of the hippopotamus? The hippopotamus' abilities are the same as yours.
"But controlling your abilities requires complex skills. Generally speaking, your abilities are gradually awakened, and you will gradually master them yourself.
"Your ability awakened very suddenly in this life. In order to prevent accidents, I wrote this program for you temporarily.
"If I hadn't written this program for you to practice and master, your head would have exploded by now, right?"
Meng Fei felt that his exposed brain was not being deleted, but that more and more information was being stuffed into it.
"Awakening? Temporary? How do you know when I awakened my ability?"
He wanted to say, how could I have awakened? Didn’t I suddenly have this strange ability after traveling through time?
Although he knew that XE was written by Suzaku, he had never discussed this matter with Suzaku in depth.
When did Suzaku install XE on him?
Even to Suzaku and Ai Ting, he still has a secret existence. That is his identity as a "traveler".
If he and Suzaku continue to struggle with this topic, it will inevitably involve his resurrection from the dead and time travel. In front of the psychic Suzaku, he may not be able to tell lies.
If his true origin is exposed, who knows what will happen? Will Suzaku destroy him as a time traveler to get back the original "Meng Fei"?
So he avoided talking about it.
But Suzaku knew exactly about the sudden awakening of his abilities, and programmed him specifically for this. Could it be that "Meng Fei" in this world has always been under Suzaku's surveillance?
"Nonsense, of course I know!"
Suzaku disliked him for making too much fuss. But in order to appease the guy who was undergoing surgery, she kept talking about the past.
"In which of your reincarnations did I not spend more than ten or twenty years looking for you?
"Has that woman taken care of you? She is either dealing with war or sleeping.
"But I really didn't expect that you would be hit in the head by Ouyang Cong that night!
"When I arrived, the killer had already run away, and you were almost dead.
"The serious injury stimulated the awakening of your abilities and brought you back from the brink of death."
She felt extremely lucky.
"In order to prevent you from being counterattacked by the awakened ability, I installed that system for you.
"Haha, think about it.
"If I hadn't found you, why would Luo An let Ouyang Cong go to the school to recruit you?
"How did Lao Li know about you and arrange for you to join the faith research club?"
"..."
Meng Fei felt a little sluggish.
It turns out that everything for him was clearly arranged!
But although all this is reasonable, there is still something that doesn't make sense.
Suzaku knew everything about Hippo's reincarnation as Meng Fei and his abilities, but said nothing about his time travel. So does Suzaku know about his time travel?
After all, he is not from this world. He is neither He Ma nor Meng Fei.
He comes from Earth in the 1920s, and this is his last secret.
"Don't your program say that you can return to the 'previous world' after reaching level ten? What does that mean?"
he asked cautiously and tentatively.
Using XE's help function, he asked how he could return to his previous world. XE's answer is that it is impossible to upgrade until level ten.
If XE was written by Suzaku, then this answer is Suzaku's answer?
“Previous world?
"When did you awaken your abilities and didn't you cry and shout that you wanted to go back to your 'previous world'?"
Suzaku smiled disdainfully.
"That is the original memory in your ability. Your ability comes from the original era and is itself a kind of memory, so it also includes other things from that time.
"I had to make up a wish to coax you.
"Why, do you really think you can go back to the Yuan Dynasty?"
Suzaku suddenly sighed.
"Even Qingmang, who controls the power of time, cannot go back to that era."
