For this moment, Tang Ji waited for thirty years, threw up the entire Federation like a toy, and then used it again, starting a war that affected all mankind, and also destroyed the entire world, just for this moment.

Without those accidents, Tang Ji could have lived a peaceful and happy life.

But it can only be if. The spirit body in front of me can only exist in this world for four hours. This is the result Odyssey got when he summoned Jesus last time. After all, that person's identity is too special. All of them are in Shelter Zero. Everyone in the know wanted to talk to him.

Fortunately, Brother Jesus may have dealt with too many believers in his early years and developed a patient character. Until the last second before leaving, he was still answering the endless questions without any impatience.

As for Angelina, she is very gentle, but even Edward must say that Angelina is the kind of woman who can handle most street problems by herself. You must know that the funniest joke in the Law Enforcement Bureau back then was, If the law enforcement bureau raided Tang Ji's home, guess who would be arrested and imprisoned for possession of heavy weapons?

Although it is just a joke, it is enough to prove Angelina's character.

"Have you been growing up in a sterile room?" Angelina was communicating with Tang Anran. Although it was technically their first time to meet, the kind of family affection that was thicker than water could transcend all barriers.

Moreover, Tang Anran didn't know anything about his mother. He was able to create Angelina so lifelike in the dream world that Tang Ji didn't even notice anything strange. It was because he could use higher-dimensional methods to , to 'peep' at his mother.

"My genetic structure was damaged by radiation, but now it seems that humans are not ready to welcome my arrival." Tang Anran explained to his mother with a smile, but he accidentally farted again.

"I know you are the best." Angelina smiled at Tang Anran's out-of-character personality and just looked at him tenderly, as if she couldn't get enough of him.

"You too." Angelina patted the seat on the other side of her and asked Tang Ji to sit over.

"I'm sorry for letting you face this alone." Angelina looked at Tang Ji, apologetically in her tone.

Angelina is a very attractive woman from any angle, but she is not the kind of stunning woman, like Wu Qianying, but Angelina is very attractive, she has a unique charm, and As for the prophet, he failed to complete the achievement of stealing a house after several attempts.

From a scientific point of view, Angelina should have had a lot of information gaps at this time. After all, the world was still 'peaceful' when she died. Of course, considering that the cause of Angelina's death was the Red Sun incident, it is somewhat black humor to say this. .

But considering the shit that has happened in the world since then, the word "peaceful" is actually not too much at all.

However, every soul summoned by Odyssey obviously has a basic understanding of the world. They know the existence of players, the occurrence of the Apocalypse, and that the outside world is a wasteland at this time.

These souls who were summoned back seemed to naturally have external cognition that was in line with the average cognitive level of human beings.

If Wu Qianying were here, she would definitely ask the question and directly ask Angelina's spirit body whether she thinks she is Angelina herself. After all, according to the theory of the Ship of Theseus, these possessions do not belong to her. They are revenants who know information. They are more like response machines with specific images and specific memories, not much different from electronic consciousness like Tlaloc.

But the reason why Tang Anran put so much effort into arranging this meeting through Odyssey is naturally because from his point of view, the mother in front of him is enough to represent Angelina herself.

Fortunately, Tang Ji doesn't think so deeply. Although he has studied a lot of advanced physics knowledge in depth, Tang Ji regards that knowledge more as some kind of alternative bullets to arm his mind and keep it in his bones. He is actually very resistant to this kind of cognitive change.

The conspiracy theorist Mikkelsen even felt that Tang Anran had taken away part of Tang Ji's memory before, and the purpose was to ensure that Tang Ji was still Tang Ji and not some 'thinker' named Tang Ji.

From the very beginning when Tang Anran's existence was confirmed, Mikkelsen regarded this 'naughty kid' as a chess player, not a chess piece.

But obviously, Tang Ji doesn't care about these things now. He is just greedily enjoying every minute and every second now. Even if time passes by his fingertips, he still wants to grab it.

"I should be by your side." Tang Ji finally had the chance to say these words after thirty years.

Angelina looked at Tang Ji with some pity and hugged the man into her arms, just like she had brought the boy back from the street to her family.

She patted Tang Ji's back gently and whispered: "It's been thirty years, can't you still let go? Even our children are now old enough to care about you. You can't be so childish anymore. "

In this world, only Angelina can say that about Tangji. They are both orphans. They have known the suffering of life and society since childhood, and the gaps left by their childhood will always remain in their hearts.

Tang Anran lowered his head and pretended not to see this scene. He was still a baby and didn't know how to deal with the emotional side between his father and mother.

"I was actually glad that you weren't here that night, because I knew you would definitely come to save me. Even if you couldn't save me, you could still save our child." Angelina lowered her head and kissed Tang Ji's cheek, but the spirit body did not Without being able to actually interact with the entity, this is more like a spiritual comfort: "I like the name you gave him very much, An Ran, it's a good name."

"I also know that you have been looking for the murderer, but you have done enough. There was no hatred when I left, and now, I have no regrets." Angelina said while humming her favorite song from the past. His favorite melody comforted Tang Ji's broken soul.

On those nights when Tangji didn't have to work overtime and could get home before dinner, Angelina would hum this tune and be busy in the kitchen. Although her cooking skills were often erratic, they could always sit together and cook together. Eliminate all the food, and then use guessing to decide who does the dishes and who controls today's TV remote.

All this brought Tang Ji to the one he didn't dare to ask for. In the evening after dusk in autumn, he fell asleep to the sound of Angelina's voice.

"Your father is a young boy, isn't he?" Angelina looked at Tang Anran with a smile, with a hint of pity in her tone. She was the only one who knew her man best, and she knew that those subconscious reactions after he fell asleep represented What he had suffered.

"Yeah, it is really irresponsible to press the burden of the world on such a small child." Tang Anran made a strange voice, that is, Tang Ji could not hear it now, otherwise he should be beaten again .

"What about you, do you have anything to say to me?" Angelina asked with a smile, as if she had never left Yiyi: "I never thought that one day, my husband and son would become big shots. , this feeling is actually not bad." "I just achieved a little bit of success, hehe." Tang Anran said happily. He had too many things to say to Angelina. After all, he It's so special that I haven't had any chance to tell it since I was born.

And Angelina, both in terms of identity and existence, was obviously enough to make Tang Anran relax physically and mentally.

"I'm happy to hear it, An Ran. Anyway, I don't have anything else to do, right?" Angelina pointed to her special child with a smile, and then said: "Don't really treat your father as a child, you must Respect him."

"Of course, but you have to tell me how you met in the first place!" Tang Anran brought himself closer to his mother's spirit body, with a smile on his face.

Not only Tang Ji, he has also been looking forward to this day since the day he was born.

But compared to Tang Ji, Tang Anran knew many years ago that even though the world was so fucked up, he still had four hours of warm family time of his own.

At the same time, this is also the only four hours he has.

Outside the secret room, Rogge had quietly sealed off a corner of the bar, and Surte had become the second 'line of defense'.

After all, a beautiful woman like Dr. Wu Qianying always stands out in a crowded bar.

What's more, Dr. Wu also has a kind of intellectual beauty that the New Hope generation may never possess. Even before the Apocalypse, those drunkards would still choose to take desperate risks before they knew Wu Qianying's identity.

Rogge originally planned to close the bar directly, because no matter how old she was, she was still not old enough to remember Wu Qianying's face.

She was sure she didn't see when Dr. Wu Qianying walked into her bar, but she understood after seeing Surte.

As the legendary middleman in Night City, she knows a lot of inside information that others don’t know. For example, she knows how dangerous Dr. Wu Qianying is. At the same time, she also knows that as long as Surte is willing, he can completely dismantle the entire afterlife in front of her. bar and couldn't see anything.

The reason why Rogge didn't close the bar was because she didn't want to attract more attention.

Night City is a very special place, and Rogge is also a very special person. She suddenly closed the bar, almost announcing to everyone in Night City that something happened here.

Rogge didn't want to delay Tang Ji's affairs. When he came today, everything was unusual.

"Doctor, would you like a drink?" Soult walked up to Wu Qianying with a tray containing a small glass of spirits and introduced: "It was a gift from Rogge. Whiskey, brandy, tequila, and vodka are all apocalypse. Great product recently.”

Rogge does have a batch of good wine that has been preserved before the Apocalypse, but it is mainly spirits, and now many of them are hidden in Luther's shelter.

"Take it away, I won't drink." Dr. Wu Qianying rejected the temptation of alcohol. It has been scientifically proven that alcohol will cause irreversible effects on the brain. Wu Qianying's brain is rare in the world and cannot tolerate any damage.

"Dr. Wu, are you worried about the relationship with your head?" Soult glanced at the spirits on the tray and decided not to touch these things like Dr. Wu. After all, considering that he is the fastest in the world People, drunk driving is 80% the most harmful in the world.

Wu Qianying glanced at Surte with a headache. If the relationship between him and Tang Ji was enough to upset her, then discussing the relationship between herself and Tang Ji with Surte would definitely make her even more depressed.

She has almost 'watched' Sirte grow up, and this feeling of embarrassment is roughly equivalent to being asked by her son whether she and her father will divorce.

"Listen, I'm not worried about the problem you mentioned at all." Wu Qianying said halfway, sighed and looked down at the spirits on the tray, then chose a glass and drank it in one gulp.

She suddenly realized that she was deceiving herself. If she really wasn't worried, she wouldn't have come here.

Wu Qianying herself is an expert in psychology. Although she is not as authoritative in this field as in the field of biology, considering that after the baptism of the Apocalypse, psychologists themselves are scarce resources. She should be said to be an elite in this industry. Not too much.

She is running away from the problem

"Maybe there is a little bit, but it's not what you should care about." Wu Qianying felt the alcohol gradually affecting her brain along the blood, and then she was a little surprised to find that her enhanced brain directly used the alcohol components as energy reserves. Used up.

But at this time, Wu Qianying was still confused. This was the first time in her life that she felt like this.

Under rational analysis, Odyssey's ability can only last four hours. Although it is too ruthless to say this, in fact it is more like a belated funeral, just like the prophet.

Driven by her sensibility, Wu Qianying felt that she had become a jealous woman. She originally thought that she would never have anything to do with this word in her life. This was strange, because she originally thought that her brain was sensual. The position was completely under the control of reason, but now it seems that is not the case.

For a while, in this isolated corner, everyone was drinking quietly. Only Odyssey was sweating and looking at the time, because there were less than five minutes left before four hours, and he didn't want to know when the time was over. Damn it if Tang Ji won't be happy after that! His nickname is Unhappy!

At this time, in the secret room, Tang Anran was obviously aware of the time problem. He had never communicated with others so happily before, but Tang Anran had prepared for today a long time ago, and the way he looked at the world It's also different from normal people. Whether it's regret or reluctance, it's all under control.

The only thing he was worried about was his old father. Tang Ji slept soundly. This was probably the most solid sleep he had ever had after the Red Sun Incident.

"Shh!" Angelina smiled, waved her hand, and whispered: "He is too tired, let him sleep a little longer, I have to leave."

"Goodbye, mom." Tang Anran hesitated for a moment, and finally shouted out this unfamiliar word.

"Goodbye, and just in case, goodbye." Angelina blew a kiss to Tang Anran, whispered in Tang Ji's ear again, kissed him for the last time, and disappeared out of thin air the next second. .

Tang Ji, on the other hand, showed a smile in his sleep.
