The library under the setting sun is covered by dense bushes, and the light is a bit dim.

To be honest, when Su Liang came here a few times before, he always felt that the atmosphere in the old library was a bit gloomy.Today's library is even less crowded and quiet. There is no one in the huge borrowing room. The only things that make noise are the automatic robots that are busy everywhere in the library, and the hissing of the gears and belts that have not been maintained for a long time. Hissing, it sounded like a ghost hiding in the dark whispering from a distance.

However, staying in such an old library, Su Liang never felt uneasy at all.On the contrary, he even felt more relaxed and comfortable here than anywhere else.

It was an indescribable feeling.

Su Liang leaned on the back of the chair, looked at the rustling bushes outside the window, enjoyed the soft touch of the breeze blowing over her cheeks, from fingers to hair, she couldn't help but relax.Obviously, he came to read the book on purpose, but Su Liang was a little distracted, and fell into an inexplicable laziness.

Su Liang hadn't relaxed like this for a long, long time.

Whether it was the previous life or this life, Su Liang was tense almost all the time.The elopement with Lu Zhizhao in the previous life was stupid and difficult, but in this life, Su Liang wanted to change the course of his life, and the clockwork in Su Liang's heart became even tighter.

To study hard.

To help my sister and brother-in-law leave the Lu family.

To save money.

Find a way to distance yourself from Lu Zhizhao and Ning Jiayi...

There are so many things that Su Liang has to face, it is impossible for him to take a breather.

Until this moment, he was sitting in the empty old library, and his restless heart gradually became quieter.

He didn't even notice that he was casually flipping through the pages of the book at his fingertips, but his body was getting closer and closer to the window.

The wind is cool.

There was a faint, unusually faint smell floating in the air.The smell reminded Su Liang of moist mist, moss, and incense buried under ice and snow.

The aroma was so light that it was almost impossible to distinguish it, but Su Liang still thought it smelled good.

What is the perfume that people left here before?

Su Liang thought.

It would be great if I could find out what the perfume is - Su Liang, who is not interested in perfume at all, feels regretful at this moment.

This smell made Su Liang feel a little familiar.It seemed that he had smelled it somewhere a long time ago.

But Su Liang tried hard to think back, but still couldn't remember.

But no matter what, even if it was only because of the lingering fragrance in the air at this moment, as well as the silence and tranquility of the entire library, Su Liang was willing to stay here.

However, it didn't take long for his communicator to light up, it was Lu Zhizhao's news.

[Xiaoliang, we need to talk. 】

Lu Zhizhao sent several newsletters, judging from the messages, it seemed that something happened.

Su Liang stared at the screen and frowned slightly, her original good mood faded instantly.

[What are you talking about? 】

He replied.

Lu Zhizhao's news came very quickly this time: [Xiaoliang, I'm at the gate of Xingchuan, let's meet and talk. 】

Su Liang looked at this sentence and lowered his eyes.

【it is good. 】

he said, and then he let out a long sigh.

Although he didn't want to meet Lu Zhizhao, Su Liang also felt that maybe it would be better to take this opportunity to clarify some things face to face with Lu Zhizhao.

After packing up her things, Su Liang suppressed the faint resistance in her heart, and left the old library quickly.

But just as he stepped down the steps of the library gate, he suddenly felt the back of his neck swell slightly, inexplicably, Su Liang felt as if someone was staring at him from behind.

Su Liang subconsciously turned her head and looked behind her, but there was still no one in the lonely library foyer.

"Is it an illusion?"

Su Liang muttered, he frowned, rubbed his neck casually, and then continued to walk outside.

Naturally, the slender and dull Beta would not know that on the top floor of the old library, in a dark and hidden room, a man turned his gaze away from the front floor of the old library.

This is a very tall and thin man, with pale skin, hair and eyes as dark as the night, his facial features are extremely handsome and deep, handsome to the point of almost evil.

However, no matter who it is, when seeing him, it is difficult to perceive his beauty.

Because the aura lingering on this man's body is too terrifying.

Even just looking at him, the animal survival instinct deep in people's bodies will immediately take effect.In the face of intense fear and life-and-death crisis, no one can concentrate on the beauty and ugliness on the outside.

Moreover, the man's attire at the moment is actually quite strange.

Something similar to the metal spine of the exoskeleton, like a steel monster, firmly covered the man's back to the back of his neck.

Several finger-thin metal tubes sprung directly from the metal parts and pierced into the blood vessels at the back of the man's neck.

The lower half of the man's face was covered by a mask that resembled a bite stopper, and what was exposed was only a pair of abyss-like eyes without any emotional fluctuations.

His hands and feet were also bound by thick metal rings. If a knowledgeable person saw these things, they would find that they were restraining devices used to restrain the highest level of biological weapons.

Even the fingers of this man were tightly bound, as if he was really a vicious, vicious and terrifying criminal.

However, the temperament and expression he displayed when he was sitting on the dilapidated ancient wooden chair made people think of an extremely centralized and tyrannical king thousands of years ago who held supreme power and everyone's life and death.

A dusty window was just beside the man, slightly ajar.

"Huh? There are still human activities in the library area? Is the person sent by Canaan looking for death again?"

A brisk artificially synthesized mechanical sound sounded in the room.

Beside the man, a "human" with a dull face and an unusually well-proportioned figure was sitting cross-legged in front of a machine, and countless metal tentacles protruded from behind it to connect with the machine.

Complex symbols and data are constantly flashing on the screen of the machine.

Judging from the appearance, the person who is speaking is a standard A-K125 domestic bionic robot.

However, even the most high-end housekeeping robot cannot crack the firewall of the machine in front of it as quickly as it does, and similarly, it is impossible to have such a humanized conversation as it does.

"No."

For the first time ever, a man responds to the doubts of a special android.

And this made the android raise his voice instantly.

"Wow, this is interesting. In theory, as long as you appear, normal human beings will stay away from the area you are based on survival instincts even unconsciously. Of course, I am not describing you as a biochemical weapon." Lah, but our current confinement device is really difficult to control your mental power overflow, and it is inevitable that you become hateful to people and dogs. Think about those poor Alpha assassins, I just caught them a few days ago The few of you who have not even had time to get close to the inner courtyard have been so scared that they wet their pants...Are you really sure that the humanoid creatures that can still walk in your domain are not some advanced biological weapons?"

"Just a stray cat."

The man said lightly.

He didn't seem to have any unwanted emotions for someone who shouldn't be in his domain.

But those who are familiar with him will know how weird he is at the moment - while he was speaking plainly, he tapped a few times on the armrest of the chair very lightly with his fingers, and a secret command was instantly sent to him through the built-in communication device. All the people under his command.In the bushes of the old library, in the shadows of the buildings, in the traps under the shade of the trees... The top personal guards lurking in the dark stopped all their movements the moment they received the order.

It was also because of the man's acquiescence that the slender and dull figure was able to leave the old library very calmly and safely step by step.

It is impossible for the man's actions to hide from the bionic man beside him, after all, it should actually be regarded as one of the top artificial intelligences in the entire Earth Federation.

Realizing that the man had directly revoked the order to "kill all unauthorized personnel entering the old library", the bionic man's eyes began to sparkle.

"Wild cat?" Its head suddenly turned 180 degrees, and its dull plastic face stared at the man, "You're talking about the kind that lands on two feet, looks very, very beautiful, and its gender is... ah, what a pity, it turned out to be beta ... a stray cat?"

While making strange gossip accents with weird electronically synthesized voices, the bionic man separated a detection tentacles from its body and dangled it at the window.

"How did I not know you liked cats?"

It muttered babblingly.

It adjusted its position, curiously trying to see the figure that had gone away, but at this moment, the man raised his eyebrows and looked at the brain center of the bionic man.

Then the tentacle instantly bounced back to its original position.

"Can't you even take a look? Are you too stingy?"

The artificial intelligence complained dissatisfied.

It also continued to crack the firewall of the machine in front of it.

The man didn't respond.

He was as gloomy and indifferent as ever.

At this moment, he had already slightly closed his eyes, and he did not give any explanation for his strange reaction at that moment just now.

A light and soft breeze drifted through the window, bringing a very faint fragrance.

The fragrance has faded to almost nothing, and no one can detect it, even the extremely terrifying man who is considered a monster by everyone.

But it does exist.

Therefore, in the golden-red twilight, the man who had been tortured by illness for a long time felt a sense of relief for the first time in a long time.

He felt that the wind today was very comfortable. When it blew on his body, the severe pain that had been entangled in his limbs and bones seemed to have faded a lot.
