The Beautiful CEO’s Magical Doctor and Crazy Son-in-law

It was a huge machine, at least three stories high.

Directly facing him, there was a hatch.

The hatch was closed, but transparent.

He could see that it was filled with some kind of liquid, and in the liquid...

There was a head floating.

The head's eyes were open, but its vision was unfocused.

The other party didn't move, but a voice sounded in his ears.

"As you can see, I can't really get out."

"..."

I have to say, this scene is somewhat scary.

No matter how high a martial artist's cultivation is, it is impossible for him to survive with only a head left.

"This is you?"

Ling Tian felt like he was walking into a science fiction movie.

But the head didn't move at all - or rather, even if it wanted to move, it wouldn't have moved.

What can I do with only a head left?

Familiar voices continued to ring out.

"I know you're shocked."

"To be honest, I was more shocked than you when I first found out what I was like."

"But you don't have to ask, because I don't know what's going on either."

"I have no memory of it before."

"When I was conscious, I was already like this."

"I don't know who did this to me, or why."

"I only know that I have to protect the Songde Tower."

"Year after year... I have been like this for more than 30,000 years."

"I am not dead, and I cannot die."

"These things are my prison, but they are also the basis for my survival."

Thirty thousand years...

As far as Ling Tian knew, even at the Unity Realm, one's lifespan was only doubled.

Living to 300 years old is considered a long life.

He didn't know whether continuing to improve his realm could extend his life, and he never asked.

But even if it continues to double, there are only two more levels above.

And it is not clear how to break through the last realm.

Currently, there is only one person recorded.

But even taking this realm into account, he can only live up to 1,200 years at most.

What does more than 30,000 years mean?

It will continue to increase almost five times!

"You really... lived that long?"

Speaking of being alive, this guy is indeed alive.

But it’s not a normal life.

That humane.

"Maybe. I'm not sure."

"After all, I am not awake all the time."

"If the high priests of all generations have not lied to me, I have indeed lived for more than 30,000 years."

Ling Tian had new doubts.

"If that's the case, why are you so sure that the last high priest was a thousand years ago?"

"Because I haven't fallen asleep since then."

Ling Tian understood what he meant instantly.

"Are you suspecting that the previous high priests were responsible for your deep sleep?"

"if not?"

The other party asked back.

In the past, when there was a high priest, he would fall asleep from time to time.

Every time I wake up, I ask how much time has passed.

But in the last thousand years, he has indeed spent a thousand years without the high priest.

Ling Tian was a little confused.

What's the point of those high priests deceiving a man who only has a head left?

Of course, lying is just a guess.

Maybe this guy really has lived for more than 30,000 years.

"What's your name?"

"I don't remember, but they all called me the Guardian."

"..."

It’s really simple and easy to understand.

Ling Tian didn't bother with the name and asked again.

"You said earlier that you didn't expect me to be chosen by Songde Tower - what does that mean?"

"That's literally what it means."

I don’t know if it’s because he was chosen because he trusts the high priest.

The guardian did not give the same subtle reminder as before.

Just tell the truth directly.

"Every high priest is chosen by Songde Tower."

“I don’t know the specific principle.”

"Just like I don't know why I am like this, and how I can live so many years without dying."

If possible, he would like to understand his own life more.

After all, living like this is worse than being dead.

"Do you need my help?"

Ling Tian asked.

The guardian laughed helplessly.

"it's useless."

"Do you think I haven't bewitched the former high priest?"

“Although they were all selected by the Sonderta, not everyone is strong-willed.”

“But they couldn’t get close to me.”

"You can try."

Just give it a try.

Ling Tian approached the huge and strange machine while being alert.

But when it gets close to about ten meters.

It was as if I was blocked by an invisible wall.

Ling Tian raised his hand and touched it.

Nothing was touched.

But he was indeed blocked and couldn't move forward even a single step.

"I knew it."

The Guardian was not surprised at all.

Ling Tian said nothing, but lowered his head and thought for a long time.

Then he raised his head and said.

"This place is indeed weird. There is no formation, but there is an invisible force blocking me."

"but……"

"Just because I can't get in doesn't mean you can't get out."

The guardian was stunned.

"What do you mean?"

"This machine you are in is not fixed to the ground, right?"

"no……"

The guardian replied subconsciously and seemed to understand something.

I couldn't help but shout.

"Are you planning to get this machine out of the barrier?"

"Maybe give it a try."

After a pause, Ling Tian continued.

"Of course, if it's just to help you end your life, it shouldn't be so troublesome."

He looked towards the hatch where the reveal was.

I don't know what material it's made of, but maybe I can drill a hole through it.

The Guardian can live for so many years.

It must have something to do with the soaking liquid.

As long as the liquid leaks out, he will die.

Hearing this, the guardian fell silent.

"Well...I do want to die, but if I can see the outside world before I die, I will still be happy."

"If I'm happy, I might reveal some secrets to you that I shouldn't."

That means he wants to die.

But if you can avoid death, it’s better.

Even if I am alive in this form now.

of course.

The premise is that he is not trapped here again.

Ling Tian simply sat down.

"That's no problem, but before that, let's talk."

"You can only grasp the situation of the Songde Tower."

"Or is the entire ruins within your surveillance range?"

The Guardian fell silent again.

After a long time, he sighed.

"You are indeed clever."

"Yes, in addition to the Songde Tower, I can also monitor the entire city - should it be the ruins you mentioned?"

"But it's just surveillance."

"My duty is only to protect the Songde Tower."

"Other places are not my business."

Ling Tian asked quickly.

"Who's in charge of that?"

"I do not know."

The guardian answered quickly, without any hesitation.

"You don't need to try to trick me. You are the first person to come up to me in a thousand years."

"You could say it's my only hope now."

"I will never hide anything I can tell you."

Having said that, Ling Tian would not believe him just like that.

Mainly because this thing is too weird.

Even in the outside world, he had never seen such sci-fi technology.

It always feels unreal.
