In the aquarium glass cabinet embedded in the wall, the graceful lines of the silver-white fish unfold in the gentle caress of the water.
The girl stretched out her white hand, holding a carving knife.
It's an art room, with paint trays, sculptures, buckets and more in the corner. The giant aquarium exhibition stand embedded in the wall makes people feel like they are living in a house with the sea as its bottom.
Su Mingan sat next to the girl and vaguely saw her bright red eyes through her black hair.
"I like carving, whether it's wood carving or stone sculpture. The most beautiful thing about human beings is creativity. It would be too boring to use data and rational evaluation for everything." The girl hit the small hammer: "Obviously she has the cells of a great artist , I like to chase beautiful things, but in the end I was rejected because of the cold system’s sentence of ‘unqualified adaptability’... Such a life is too sad.”
Su Mingan raised his head and glanced at the windows on the high wall - a few stars could be vaguely seen there, and it was already early morning.
The smell of grilled sausages in the wind and the sound of students' bicycles have faded away, and Kangslitin fell into a quiet sleep, with only a few lights left for the night's struggle.
In such a quiet night, in the empty art classroom, a black-haired girl sat in the center, focusing on carving the artwork in her hands.
"This city is too cold. Why do humans become like this?" The girl said while carving: "I remember that before the catastrophe a hundred years ago, everything was beautiful. People did not have to suppress their emotions. They There is a life that is not judged by the dawn system. Unfortunately, this history of freedom has been buried, and people are willing to become slaves of data..."
Su Mingan remained silent.
"Ding" "ding", the girl held up the hammer and carving knife, her blood-red eyes that were exceptionally beautiful under the influence of his magic patterns seemed to have magical properties.
"Why don't you speak?" she said, "You... don't agree with my point of view and are not even willing to refute it?"
Su Mingan stared at her, looking a little dull.
The girl also stared into his eyes, and this strange stare lasted for three minutes.
Suddenly, she stood up straight and noticed something.
——Su Mingan actually had a pair of earplugs plugged into both of his ears.
This pair of earplugs blocked his ears tightly, and her words for the past two hours were in vain!
"Stop dreaming, Tavi." Su Mingan's eyes wandered. The dust-proof earplugs produced by Level 10 [Mechanical] were really useful. He sat here for two hours and was not tempted by this Tavi.
"——Did Liming tell you that you will be tempted when you hear his whispers and a little recognition?" The girl suppressed her anger: "Don't worry, you are the only person we can't penetrate."
"Haha." Su Mingan laughed dryly.
He would not believe a single word or punctuation mark of what the other party said.
"What I said is true." The girl said: "If we could attack you, we would have done it long ago. How can you still persist until today?"
"..." Su Mingan's eyes danced freely in the air.
He won't listen, he won't believe a word of it.
Seeing Su Mingan's inconsolable expression, the girl, who had been talking for two hours and had a dry mouth, suddenly closed her eyes with anger.
The next moment, she opened her eyes again, the bright red in her eyes was gone, and they were a pair of normal emerald eyes.
This is Dong An'an, a mute girl during the day, but a fierce girl at night. She once wanted to assassinate him and said, "If I hold you hostage, will the Dawn system collapse?", but in the end she was knocked down by the clone Ming who was responsible for keeping watch.
Unexpectedly, she has now sneaked into the Kangsiliding University in the core area. This is not something an orphan girl can do.
"'Tawei' just possessed you?" Su Mingan asked.
Dong Anan glanced at him: "I am the only person who can be directly possessed by Ta Wei."
"Why?"
"I won't answer you."
"You hate me because of my city-state philosophy?" Su Mingan thought of her assassination.
"——No." Confusion appeared in Dong An'an's eyes, and the tip of her carving knife was pointed at his eyes.
"I just want to kill you." She said: "I don't know why, but this seems to be my long-cherished wish. If I don't do this, I always feel that it is wrong..."
"You have been brainwashed." Su Mingan said.
Dong Anan doesn't hate him, she just wants to kill him, and even regards it as the ultimate goal in life.
This is too morbid.
Is she an assassin trained by the resistance organization?
But she can be directly possessed by him, unlike others who can only be seduced indirectly through whispers. Is there anything special about her?
Could it be that she was born in another country? She was accidentally dropped into this world and planned to infiltrate it from the inside?
He pulled up Kang Sliting's enrollment records, but there was no Dong An'an in them.
"Huh?" He accidentally opened the population system of the city-state residents and searched carefully...but there was still no Dong An'an in it.
To enter the city-state, you must be implanted with a dawn chip. Why doesn't she have any information?
He turned the wheelchair and saw the back of her neck - there was no bulge there.
She doesn't have a Dawn chip on her body.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a system prompt.
"Ding dong!"
[You have met the key figure "Dong An'an". 】
[The dawn code exists in "Dong An'an", the third one]
…
"Put down the knife." Su Mingan looked directly at the tip of the knife less than two inches away from his eyes.
There is no information file, no Dawn chip... Dong Anan, Su Lin and him are the only three beings who are not monitored by Dawn.
If he could use her to hide it from Li Ming, he would be able to collect the password more smoothly.
I was reminded before that there is a password in Xiaomei's pendant, but I don't know why the password appears again now.
The mechanism of this code has always been a mystery, and he has no idea how he "reads" the codes on people.
"I'm going to kill you." Dong Anan emphasized, the carving knife in her hand flashing with cold light.
"You didn't have the courage to kill me, otherwise you would have done it that night." Su Mingan pressed her thin hand: "Put down the knife."
Confusion, hesitation, struggle, and anger appeared on the girl's face. After a moment, it seemed that reason had overcome her anger, and she put down the knife.
Her green eyes were soaked in the moonlight outside the high window, like a deep lake holding the moonlight.
"I don't know why I want to kill you." Dong An'an murmured to herself. Facing Su Ming'an's SS-level charm, her vigilance and hostility were gradually fading: "I can't remember the memories of my childhood. … I seem to have forgotten a lot of things.”
Su Ming'an had a headache for a while, and he had Siberian phobia.
"——Teacher Luvis?"
Suddenly, students' voices came from the door.
A group of students working late at night passed by and recognized Su Ming'an in the art room.
"Is it really that Teacher Lewis? I went to three auditoriums in the afternoon and listened to the end of every class."
"It's true. He's the one mentioned in the campus forum. He has a high personality and can play lost musical instruments. He's also good-looking. I want to take a photo with him..."
Their voices were very low, but Su Mingan in the shadow state heard them clearly.
He raised his head and saw students filing in at the door, making noisy noises.
"Teacher Luvis, can you add a little green? There are many good people in my circle of friends..."
"Teacher, don't be too strict about gender. Do you accept campus romance?"
"Teacher Luvis, I come from the Convis family in the core area. I would like to hire you as the family's pianist and invite you to participate in the opening party of Caius Tower..."
They didn't notice the tense atmosphere in the room. Several people stood in front of Dong An'an, separating her from Su Ming'an.
"Sorry, I..." Su Mingan wanted to speak, but the group of people surrounded him.
Suddenly, a female voice came.
"——Teacher, can I ask the name of the song you played this afternoon?"
Dong Anan forcefully pushed these boys and girls aside and made way for him.
Su Mingan once played a piece of music he wrote during his afternoon class.
"The name of the song..." Su Ming'an thought of the music score full of vibrato and staccato.
"'Absence'," he said.
The next moment, he happened to follow the open area that Dong An'an forcefully pushed out, and left the aquarium art room that was no longer quiet.
She came to his rescue.
The angry voices of students came from behind.
"...Who is the girl who is talking to him? Which major?"
"I've never seen it before. You're so young. A skipper? A high-level personality?"
"What a high-level personality. He's just a guy with an unknown background. He probably took advantage of the power of election. How lucky that he can get into this university without qualifications..."
Dong Anan, who was pushing Su Ming'an, smiled and ignored the words of jealousy.
The tranquility in her eyes had a dark night quality.
"——I hate this world." She said: "I hate this city-state, I hate the Dawn System, I hate everything I see..."
"It is recommended to go to a psychiatric department." Su Mingan said.
Dong Anan stared at him.
"Why is there no information about you in the system?" Su Mingan changed the subject.
"Huh? Because after I lost my memory, I accidentally broke into a place and saw a fatal secret. The Dawn System must agree to my request, otherwise I will upload this secret to the Internet." Dong Anan smiled: "It sent The mechanical army chased me to kill this secret, but I was saved by you at that time. I have backed up this secret in time, and now, the Dawn System can no longer do anything to me."
"You are so brave to threaten the Dawn System with secrets." Su Mingan said, "Do you still want to kill me now?"
Dong Anan pursed his lips: "I know this idea is wrong. I have no determination to kill you now. But if you really want to die later, call me and I will help you."
"Oh." Su Mingan said.
The strange friendship between him and Miss Dong An'an at night was so morbid that it turned out to be a "murder contract".
"It won't take long." He coughed, and a little scarlet stained the tissue: "It won't take more than twenty days, and I will die. My body won't last long."
"..." Dong Anan remained silent.
She pushed Su Ming'an back to the teachers' dormitory. When she was about to leave, Su Ming'an stopped her.
"Wait a minute, Dong An'an."
She looked back.
The night wind blew her black hair, and the confusion in her eyes was particularly obvious. This was a girl who had nowhere to go and had forgotten everything.
Su Mingan looked at her.
[The skill starts to activate, please keep your eyesight. 】
[NPC (Dong An'an), favorability: 60+5+5...]
…
[Current favorability rating: cannot be missing]
[Note: The current favorability level has reached (Friendship Line·Highest)]
[Note: There are pros and cons to the highest degree of favorability, so please proceed with caution. 】
…
"Tell me where you broke into before and what secrets you learned about Liming." Su Mingan said.
She stared at him blankly, with intense emotions surging in her eyes.
She took out a pill from her arms.
"You eat it first," she said softly.
Su Mingan took the pill: "What is this?"
"You eat it and I'll tell you."
He stared at Dong Anan and swallowed the pills.
He had already had a premonition and was not afraid of what was about to happen - she might want to do something to him.
But if death can bring new information, it's worth it.
"Okay, let's talk," he said.
The next moment, cold light suddenly appeared,
She held the sculpting knife high.
Like an ancient Greek goddess stone statue, she straightened her waist and abdomen, and raised her hands high, as if she were holding a scale and an olive branch inlaid with gold.
She stabbed him through his wristwatch, then stabbed him in the neck.
"..."
He immediately raised his finger, ready to open the energy barrier——
The fingers don't move.
He felt a little funny - after more than three months, he was actually poisoned by a girl again, and all of them were in the room.
As for the emotion of regret, there is not much, but it feels like "expected".
He guessed that she might be bad for him, but he needed to witness this scene accurately, otherwise he would not take the initiative to swallow drugs of unknown ingredients.
At least, he knew that when Dong An'an's favor was full, she would attack him inexplicably.
Does it seem to her that death is a kind of happiness?
With this information, it doesn't matter if he dies once, it's even "worth it".
Bright red blood flowers popped out from his neck.
Dong An'an's strength was beyond his expectation, and the trigger-type defense shield that could withstand 1,000 combat power did not react to her.
Maybe he was a little numb from death. The pill had a sedative and anesthetic effect, so he didn't feel much pain.
Even when his neck was cut open and warm blood stuck to his chin, he was still thinking about the role of this information.
Before he lost consciousness, he raised his eyes and saw her almost crazy look.
The bayonet in her hand - once, once, cut through his skin and stabbed through his neck.
One knife,
Two knives,
Three knives.
"——This way, this is the end, this way it will not continue. Come on, come on, let you see the truth of the world..."
Her blurry figure was looming in the blood, like a bright red, ferocious, crazy beast.
Splashes of blood sprinkled on her plain white face, like leaping, flowing, and swaying fish in the aquarium glass.
Her roar was suppressed to the extreme, revealing the pain of tearing apart.
And he just stared back at her without saying a word.
"——Asa Aktor..."
"Very good."
"You are finally dead..."
