0477 was silent for a long time.

"I don't understand," it said. "Just because you have that broken system, you think you are righteous? This is ridiculous and has no logic at all."

Zhang Chunliang became familiar with his data-man body. He snapped his fingers lightly and restored himself to "human" form without any instruction.

He was dressed differently from 0477 on the opposite side. 0477 looked more mature and steady, like the way he looked when he was clearing a dungeon.

And he turned into the same person he was when he was in love with Shen Xingyi in the world of the Holy Father System.

Zhang Chunliang blew the strands of hair on his forehead with nostalgia, then spread his arms in surprise and looked at the familiar clothes on his body - he now looked exactly like a keychain he once had.

This keychain is a prop given to him by Shen Xingyi, which allows him to transform from an NPC to a real player.

To a certain extent, it is this prop that imprisons the supervisor system "0478" and makes it a "human" with flesh and blood.

Because of its existence, 0477 had no way to directly recall him back to the main brain, so he designed a series of plans to kill Zhang Chunliang.

"I died once in the Age of Justice. You know this, right?" Zhang Chunliang asked. "In order to force Shen Xingyi to compromise with them, the evil NPC in that world killed his lover, me."

0477 was looking at him and didn't respond to his question.

Zhang Chunliang touched his nose and explained slowly, "I guess my death at that time might have been instructed by you. Since the first world, you wanted to 'kill' me. Note - you meant to 'kill' me, not to let me return here."

"Tell me more about it." 0477 looked at him indifferently, with an expressionless face.

"After becoming a player, I played through many dungeons and gradually discovered a contradiction - the mutated NPCs in the game are essentially a means used by the world consciousness to eliminate invaders, but in the first world I experienced, the 'evil guys' who killed me were not created by the Holy Father system."

"That's your product - Game House, uh, 0477, sorry, it's a little off the mark." Zhang Chunliang cleared his throat and looked more serious, "So, I want to correct what you said just now."

"You didn't expel me just to let me experience the despair of the invaded world's consciousness. You expelled me because you couldn't completely 'kill me' in this space. So you could only erase my memory and send me to the invaded world to find a way to kill me."

The smile in Zhang Chunliang's tone turned cold. Without waiting for 0477 to think of a way to refute him, he continued, "Those world consciousnesses hate us so much that if I were thrown into their territory, I would inevitably be brutally retaliated by them. Is that what you think?"

But 0477 didn’t expect that Zhang Chunliang was lucky enough to be thrown into the world of "justice".

The Holy Father System is a gentleman who adheres to morality, is old-fashioned and stubborn. It did not kill Zhang Chunliang immediately, but imprisoned him somewhere for monitoring.

"Nothing is better at sensing evil than it, but it has never attacked me." Zhang Chunliang raised his eyebrows, and it was unclear whether his tone was proud or depressed, "Because it found that after I was expelled from the main body, your aggressive behavior did not stop, and even became worse. In other words, I am just a poor creature abandoned by the main body, not the initiator of all disasters."

"Brother, you probably never thought of letting me come back alive, so after I left, you continued to absorb the energy of those worlds unscrupulously. This is the biggest loophole in your words."

I don’t know what happened afterwards that made 0477 change his mind about killing him and start to summon him back by any means necessary.

Zhang Chunliang stepped forward, lifted up 0477's collar, and asked calmly, "Shouldn't you sympathize with them? Why did you continue to absorb their power after killing me, the evil villain? Even those players who fought for you were not spared. It seems that you are short of energy, brother."

0477 was still sitting in his seat, his collar being forcibly pulled up, so he could only raise his neck high and look expressionlessly at Zhang Chunliang above him.

"Brother, greed is a bad habit of human beings." Zhang Chunliang advised with a smile.

"I thought you would pick up stupid bad habits after staying in this narrow rat-heap for long enough, but it turns out you're still as cunning and hateful as before." 0477 grabbed Zhang Chunliang's hands and pried them apart one by one.

"You found out, right?" 0477 suddenly asked.

Zhang Chunliang just looked at him with a smile.

0477 stood up, was silent for a moment, and suddenly became furious.

It waved its hands violently, knocking the chess and cards on the dining table to the ground.

The exquisite and heavy chessboard fell to the ground and instantly turned into a pile of tiny black and white starlight, circling and flying into 0477's body.

"You haven't made any moves yet. Have you discovered it?!" It cursed, "You clearly know what I want to do, but you didn't expose me. You just teased me and insulted me!!"

Its nervous look made Zhang Chunliang shrug slightly and take a step back.

If they were not incorporeal and unable to cause any real harm to each other, 0477 would have punched him hard.

"I haven't found it yet, I haven't found it yet." Zhang Chunliang raised his hand and explained helplessly, "I just think it's a bit strange that you keep urging me to play chess."

When 0477 took out the chessboard, there was already a decided chess game on it. It didn't look like a bored system that had the leisure to play chess by itself. That meant that the game was most likely played between it and Zhang Chunliang before he lost his memory. It was just unknown who won.

Maybe it's me, Zhang Chunliang thought shamelessly. After all, his brother didn't seem to be very smart.

In short, there is something weird about this chessboard.

Although 0477 tried his best to conceal his thoughts, his eyes always unconsciously looked at the chess piece in his hand, as if he was looking forward to making his move.

Perhaps all the words it said about Zhang Chunliang's identity, the truth about the game world, its own difficulties in invading the world... and so on were just to divert Zhang Chunliang's attention. Its real purpose was just to make Zhang Chunliang drop a chess piece when he was off guard.

In order to lower Zhang Chunliang's defenses, it blurted out a lot of information that shouldn't be told to him, which put itself in a passive position.

However, 0477 actually did not intend to deceive Zhang Chunliang for long. It was extremely aware of how sharp the intuition of its twin system was. It planned all this just to make Zhang Chunliang temporarily relax his vigilance against it, even if it was only for a second.

As long as he makes a move while receiving this information.

Just drop one piece.

Then it can be saved.

But not only did he not make any move, he also found loopholes in its rhetoric and became suspicious of it.

0477 had lost its initiative - its plans were all ruined.

It had rehearsed this reunion meeting countless times and thought it was fully prepared, but when it really faced 0478, it still lost miserably.

“Why didn’t you respond to me according to the situation in the simulator…” The skin on 0477’s body began to lighten and darken as if the contact was bad. It seemed to be a little collapsed. “I clearly found the most convincing reason for you. I even carefully calculated the timing of handing you the chessboard.”

"Because I am no longer a piece of unchanging data, brother, you can't always use programmed rules to infer my words and actions." Zhang Chunliang said jokingly, "I'm in love, and people in love have no logic at all."

"Is that so?" The "Zhang Chunliang" skin on 0477 disappeared.

It revealed its most primitive data form, a data humanoid figure slightly taller than Zhang Chunliang. In fact, the main brain of the system like them originally had no form, but they had interacted with humans too much, so they involuntarily chose this form to communicate.

0477's body is more solid and profound than Zhang Chunliang's, and its light is brighter, but its body structure is slightly different from Zhang Chunliang's. There are flickering stars on its body. If you look carefully, you will find that those stars are not data characters, but tiny screens.

With Zhang Chunliang's current "eyesight", he can even see the constantly changing images on those tiny screens.

——On those screens are images of thousands of world planes. 0477 has been secretly monitoring these invading worlds. It itself is the most powerful monitor.

At the position of its head was a display screen that took up its entire face, on which was playing a live broadcast of the blasphemous organization.

Fox, Mad Dog and others have completed the "Angry Ta" game copy and returned to the blasphemous organization.

Zhang Chunkang did not deceive them. The portrait containing Shen Xingyi's soul energy was torn into pieces by him and could not be put together again.

Ting Ying and others used a lot of props to restore the portrait and even hired a professional restorer, but in the end they only got a blank drawing with nothing in it.

Shen Xingyi's figure disappeared from the painting.

"Brother, I only give you one option." 0477's tone was cold and mechanical, but it revealed an inexplicable viciousness.

"Put down the chess piece and reunite with me." It took a step forward, allowing Zhang Chunliang to see the wrinkled blank portrait on the screen clearly. "Otherwise, your exclusive docking system will be formatted forever."

Although the situation is very dangerous now, Zhang Chunliang still wants to complain about the "exclusive docking system" mentioned by 0477. That is probably the system's official expression of the romantic relationship between Zhang Chunliang and Shen Xingyi... It obviously sounds stupid, but it always makes him blush for some reason.

0477: "?"

"So, Shen Xingyi hasn't completely disappeared, right?" Zhang Chunliang's smile was so sincere for the first time, and the corners of his mouth couldn't fall down. "Brother, if you had told me earlier, I would have agreed to any conditions you offered."

0477 sneered and raised his hand to summon the chessboard again: "This is our 'game of chess'. Before, in this cage, in addition to monitoring and adjusting the operating rules of the game house every day, we also had to play chess here. As long as you make a move, it means you are willing to return..."

Before it finished speaking, Zhang Chunliang picked up a black piece at random and placed it steadily on the chessboard.

The moment he made his move, a mysterious mental force surged into his body. At this moment, Zhang Chunliang actually felt like he could control everything.

Countless complex and obscure knowledge instantly poured into his database. These were his formatted "wisdom".

Zhang Chunliang had the illusion that his dusty mind had been wiped clean.

Before he was expelled by 0477, he was probably deprived of many privileges, including his ability to control the game world, his infinite knowledge and clear mind.

So he became mediocre, no different from ordinary humans, at best just a little "smarter" than them.

But now, he felt as if all his seven orifices were opened, and many details that he had not figured out before suddenly became clear to him at this moment.

It was a wonderful feeling. At this moment, Zhang Chunliang felt that he was the mastermind of the game.

However, this mysterious feeling only lasted for less than a second before disappearing, but the feeling of sudden enlightenment that made Zhang Chunliang feel numb all over left him shocked for a long time.

He raised his head with a lingering look and looked at 0477, only to find that it was standing there motionless. Even though it had a human-like appearance without any facial features, Zhang Chunliang still sensed its astonishment and shock.

It seemed that it had never imagined that the thing it had tried every means to induce Zhang Chunliang to accomplish would succeed for such a ridiculous reason.

"Now, can you give him back to me?" Zhang Chunliang asked happily and patiently.

"Do you know...what this means?" 0477 couldn't help but ask.

"It means we have to depend on each other again." Zhang Chunliang smiled, "But isn't this how we lived before? I think I should be able to get used to it."

"Just for a damned person who committed a serious crime... You have no idea at all..." 0477 seemed to want to say something, but held back.

"Okay, brother, where is he?" Zhang Chunliang asked, "I have done what you said, give him back to me."

0477 has never seen 0478 be so humble.

This supervisor system, which is superior and more advanced than it, has always been wise, noble, high-handed, sinister and cunning in front of him, but now it is as soft as a bunch of dandelions, and seems to be at the mercy of 0477.

"You have access to the main brain, but you haven't found any trace of him yet?" 0477 looked at his docile appearance, and for some reason, he felt a surge of anger in his heart, "He is right here!"

——It has evolved too intelligently and has generated so much redundant and bad interference data. It needs to do a comprehensive cleanup in the near future to keep itself absolutely calm.

After listening to 0477's words, Zhang Chunliang raised his head and began to search around patiently.

He had a hunch that Shen Xingyi was very close to him.

He released his "eyes" and let his omnipresent vision search the platform indiscriminately, not missing any communication.

In this way, he searched for a long time but found nothing.

Zhang Chunliang paced slowly, patiently looking for his lover among the messy furniture.

He even lifted up the mattress, opened the microwave and refrigerator, and rummaged through the trash can.

0477:"……"

"Idiot, idiot, idiot! How could I lose to an idiot like you?" 0477's mechanical voice started to become angry again, "Would I hide humans in the refrigerator?!"

Zhang Chunliang straightened up embarrassedly and was suddenly awakened by it.

As the mastermind of a data world, the best way to hide something is naturally to hide it in the data.

Zhang Chunliang's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he suddenly ran to the dining table of 0477.

He still remembered that when he first entered here, 0477 was playing a game -

He was too nervous and excited, and his data arm began to fluctuate unstably, but he didn't care about it. He just quickly opened the game screen of 0477.

On the light screen, in addition to the "Pest and Disease Eradication Plan" promotional video it just played, there is also a game interface running in the background.

He called up the game interface and found that it was a pixel-style development game with a big "GAME OVER" on it.

0477, this idiot, failed at the first stage of developing into a small character.

Zhang Chunliang swallowed nervously - although he didn't have saliva at all.

He controlled the game interface with his mind and restarted the game.

Amidst the joyful nursery rhyme, a line of large characters appeared in front of Zhang Chunliang.

"The stars are destroyed and the gods move."

(Also known as: August 18, the life of the imperial marshal who destroyed the world)
