I give the world destruction and new life

Night City, Afterlife Bar, Chamber of Secrets.

Tang Ji looked at Dr. Wu Qianying, who had been brought all the way by Sirte. His eyes were on his nose and his nose was on his heart. He was sitting upright, like an intern interviewing for a position.

As for Tang Anran, he was sitting next to Tang Ji, just like the next intern waiting for the interview.

Dr. Wu Qianying is undoubtedly the HR person who has the power to kill all interns. The expression on his face seems to say - I am going to kill everyone today!

As for the other three people in the secret room, except for Soult, they all wished they were under the car.

Hawking Locke tried his best to keep his breathing rate consistent with Surte's to prevent his breathing from being noticed by Wu Qianying, but the young-hearted Surte quickly noticed what he was doing with a smile on his face. He took a deep breath and then held it tight without exhaling.

After a full minute and forty seconds, Hawking Locke finally couldn't bear it any longer. He was not a red warrior superhuman to begin with, and he was not young either. Being able to hold his breath for a hundred seconds was considered a genetically optimized superhuman. Result.

He spat it out in one breath, and felt little stars popping up in front of his eyes. Because the voice was a little louder, it directly attracted everyone's attention, and he immediately lowered his head and shut himself up.

Odyssey exhaled an old breath carefully, secretly glad that he could persist for a while longer than Hawking Locke, otherwise he would be the one under the scrutiny of Dr. Wu Qianying now.

To be honest, Odyssey felt nervous and excited at the same time. He was nervous because the dead soul he wanted to summon this time was actually Tang Ji's wife. If this kind of news were placed before the Apocalypse, it would at least cost the price of an apartment in Night City.

And the nervousness is due to the same reason. Odyssey is afraid that he will be killed if he knows too much. After all, Dr. Wu Qianying's interest in him is decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Based on the unreliable and irresponsible brain slices of the Federation before the Apocalypse, Odyssey always worried that one day he would be tied to Dr. Wu's operating table and thoroughly studied in the way of evil scientists.

After all, Dr. Wu does fit the image of an evil scientist very well. Although she looks beautiful, every time she looks at Odyssey, she reminds him of the look the butcher looks at the cattle and sheep on his farm.

"Why don't you guys talk for a while longer, and Odyssey and I go out for a drink first?" Hawking Locke had no choice but to say coquettishly: "After all, I haven't been to the Overnight City for many years, and the next life can be regarded as a must-visit area back then. It’s a rare trip.”

"I'll give you fifteen minutes." Wu Qianying glanced at the time and simply told these annoying people to get out.

Surte watched with a smile as Hawking Locke and Odyssey left the secret room. When he turned around, he saw Dr. Wu Qianying looking at him eagerly. He couldn't laugh at all and followed them out of the secret room with a grimace.

But as soon as he went out, he couldn't stop laughing. Although he respected Tang Ji very much, this kind of thing was definitely a good show that you couldn't miss at the end of the world. When he went back to brag with Martin and the others, just by telling jokes, Sur Special can make them drink till they can't find the north!

"I bet Surte is leaning on the wall and laughing right now." Tang Anran rolled his eyes and broke the silence in the secret room. Tang Ji glanced at the direction of the exit and immediately clenched his fists.

"Shut up, you unconscionable little bastard!" Wu Qianying walked up to Tang Anran and grabbed his ears: "What? Now you have learned the tricks of the player and can use the body?"

"I did learn a lot from them, especially in terms of soul. They are very talented." Tang Anran borrowed the donkey from Poxia, but Dr. Wu Qianying suddenly grinned when he exerted force on his hand.

"Am I discussing academic issues with you?" Wu Qianying felt the anger in her heart rising, but the next second, she suddenly stopped being angry and calmed down.

But Dr. Wu Qianying's calmness only lasted for a second. That clever brain that is rare in the world reacted instantly. He became even more angry. He grabbed Tang Ji's ear with his other hand and roared loudly: "You... Your abilities are all being used against me now, aren’t they!”

Tang Ji was speechless. He had indeed used his ability to 'take away' Wu Qianying's anger, but his original intention was okay. Tang Ji's original intention was to provide a cover for his son.

At this point, he did indeed do it, because Tang Anran was secretly giving him a thumbs up.

Of course, this scene made Dr. Wu Qianying even more furious. She was not the kind of little woman who felt sorry for herself. She was the kind of strong woman who was angry and disobedient, so she dismantled the anger, studied it thoroughly, and then added a switch to him.

so.

"I was wrong." After all, Tang Anran was not a tough guy like Tang Ji, so he gave in.

"I should not have contacted you as soon as I could leave the moon, should not have made my own decisions, and should not have made choices for him without notifying you in advance." Tang Anran's confession was good, but he did not No sentence reduction was granted.

"You still know you are wrong!" Wu Qianying almost pulled off Tang Anran's ears. She was not angry that Tang Anran didn't come to her for help, but that Tang Anran didn't treat her like a mother. This It gave her a feeling of anger mixed with grievance.

"I don't want to, but you are too smart, Aunt Wu. Compared with other people's fate lines, your fate line is as tough as a steel wire and difficult to change. In the future that Fengchen Yin sees, you often need a little clue to be able to You can see the whole picture, and your mobility is also high. Tang Anran sighed, and said with admiration and weakness: "So before today, I didn't dare to appear in front of you. If you made any slight changes, I would have to run away." Only legs can ensure that everything goes according to plan. "

Wu Qianying snorted in denial. This proud woman reluctantly accepted Tang Anran's explanation, but this did not mean that she forgave this bastard.

Tang Anran winked at Tang Ji quietly in the dark, as if to say: "Learn a little bit, Dad, if you have my skills, now I have several younger brothers and sisters."

Of course, it was impossible to convey his will so accurately with his eyes alone, but these words appeared directly on Tang Ji's retina, just like the announcement issued by the system.

Tang Ji's expression changed slightly, he looked at Tang Anran with suspicious eyes, and then asked directly: "Did you also create my system?"

"What system?" Tang Anran looked at Tang Ji in surprise, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

But then Tang Anran also frowned, his eyes flashed back and forth, as if he had learned some news, and looked at Tang Ji with some surprise, but in the end he decisively shook his head and denied the relationship between the system and himself, but it was just a bit perfunctory. 's explanation: "I kind of know what you're talking about, but it has nothing to do with me right now."

"Now?" Dr. Wu Qianying raised her eyebrows and grasped the focus of the question.

"That's what I'm worried about, Aunt Wu, you are so smart, but because of the planning department, some things should be a little more vague to make it easier for us to do things." Tang Anran complained with resentful eyes like a little adult. Dr. Wu Qianying let go of the two people's ears, hummed again and stopped talking. This smart woman already understood what Tang Anran meant, and simply kept silent and stopped exploring, leaving Tang Ji still deeply involved, full of questions. .

Once anything is mixed with time and fate, it immediately becomes profound.

But fortunately, today's theme is not that. They are here to see Angelina for the last time. At least at this stage, Odyssey does not have the ability to summon the same soul a second time.

"I'm not here to cause trouble." Wu Qianying said to Tang Ji after being silent for a while. This is the biggest problem between them now.

Just like no one expected that players would suddenly appear, Wu Qianying also did not expect that one day she would have a possible communication with Angelina. At least when she first met Tang Ji, she did not expect that science would be trampled to such an extent.

And I'm afraid Tang Ji also had the same idea. He loved his wife so much that for a long time, even though they had been physically close, the two of them had not made any more progress in their relationship.

Wu Qianying admitted that she was first attracted by Tang Ji's unique charm, and the relationship between them began with the most primitive sexual tension.

But obviously, as the world continues to change, each of them has become more important and unique to the other.

This world is cruel to the New Hope generation, because they have never witnessed the glory of mankind, and what they see every day are all the wreckage left after the war, but this world is cruel to those who survived from before the apocalypse to what they are now. In other words, more cruel.

Because not only do they have to endure this bad world, but they also have to endure the punishment of past memories every day.

More specifically for people like Wu Qianying and Tang Ji, the pain is even more profound, because together they planned the end of the world.

For Wu Qianying, Tang Ji is like the anchor that anchors her real world, allowing her to maintain a clear mind and not go crazy in this world where time, space, and even physical laws are constantly being shaken.

Underneath her seemingly strong appearance, she has a much more sensitive heart than others. People who are insensitive will not make any big progress academically.

In this era, even before the Apocalypse, many well-known scholars have long since been on the road to self-destruction because they could not bear the continuous destruction of the scientific views they had adhered to all their lives. Not everyone can bear it like Wu Qianying. The process in which one's own belief in the truth is constantly destroyed, rebuilt, and then destroyed again.

In such a storm, people always have to have someone to rely on and a safe haven, and Tangji is her support and her safe haven.

It's just that Wu Qianying was so proud that she didn't allow herself to show such and such feelings in front of Tang Ji, making herself look weak.

As she said, she was not looking for trouble today, she was just flustered and wanted to wait for the result, no matter what the result was.

As for Tang Ji, even though he was just a piece of wood, he could still feel the burning emotions in Wu Qianying's heart.

With Wu Qianying's ability, she could have had a better future. If she was willing, she could avoid this muddy water. Even the Tianren Organization would never reject such a smart and strong woman.

But Wu Qianying didn't. From the beginning, she stood clearly on Tang Ji's side and accompanied him to face various challenges. From the beginning of Lazarus Company to the later players, she never flinched a step.

If Tang Ji felt full of regret for Angelina, he felt guilty for Wu Qianying. He couldn't let go of the past and didn't dare to look at the future.

"Let's begin." Tang Ji finally said.

This time it was Dr. Wu Qianying's turn to leave the secret room. She left on her own initiative to give Tang Ji and his son enough space.

Hawking, Locke and Odyssey, who were waiting outside, walked into the secret room with a smile under Sirte's curious eyes, as if they were forced by pirates to step onto the platform, looking back three times.

But fortunately, supernatural powers rarely lie. Odyssey can call Jesus out for a chat, so there will naturally be no accidents just because Angelina is Tanguy's wife.

The only pity is that after Odyssey completed his work, he didn't even have the courage to look back and take a look at the woman who could 'conquer' Tang Ji, and was pushed out of the secret room by a sudden force.

The only thing Odes was sure of was that the woman's back was beautiful, even in a ghost state.

There are three people in the secret room now. Although the third one is not strictly speaking a person, no one is taking it seriously now.

Angelina just sat on the sofa quietly. She first looked at the surrounding environment, and then quickly locked her eyes on Tang Ji. She looked at him with a smile, and then she shifted her gaze to Tang Ji. On An Ran.

Although Tang Anran used a passerby's face, the eyes are the passage to the soul, and Angelina's image happens to be in the soul state now, so she knows whose soul is in that body.

After analyzing several experimental data, it was found that all the souls summoned by Odyssey were in a 'calm' state. They had a clear understanding of the fact that they were dead, but they had no memory after death. Dr. Wu Qianying even speculated on this. These dead souls are just a reflection of time, a reflection shaped by the will of Gaia based on the information left by the individual.

"You're so old." Angelina's voice penetrated into Tang Ji's ears, like a forced power-on command that made his dead heart start beating again.

"Anji." Tang Ji's voice was a little hoarse. All his previous worries disappeared at this moment. He just wanted to sit here until the end of the world.

"Wait a moment, I'll take a good look at Anran first." Angelina rolled her eyes at Tang Ji tenderly, then patted the seat next to Tang Anran: "Sit over here, let me take a look."
