Chapter 600 Farewell (Part 2)
Jiang Hui closed the computer communication interface and was stunned for a while. She hesitated at the last moment several times when she wanted to open the communication number to call back, because she couldn't explain what made her uneasy.

In the end, she closed the communication page, thinking that she might as well call back tomorrow to ask.

After all, although the two could be described as sworn brothers, they were not that familiar with each other, and she didn't know if her back-and-forth calls were disturbing others.

However, before Jiang Hui could turn her gaze away to do the next thing, the other party's communication interface suddenly sent something that looked like an encrypted file.

Jiang Hui now feels a little scared when he sees these kinds of things, which reminds him of Huan Xian's dangerous maneuver earlier.

She frowned and immediately clicked on it, only to find a pile of documents neatly arranged in categories.

The contents inside are very mixed, with various categories of information.

Clicking on any of them revealed character profiles, some long and some short, all slightly subjective, seemingly written by Taylor herself.

Then she even saw some event records in a document, and the latest one at the bottom was about their previous exam in Atlantis, and the date was... today.

What are these? Notes?
For some reason, Jiang Hui felt a little flustered. Instead of sending a text message to ask, she directly called the other party back.

However, this time the call didn't go through; the long-awaited communication request eventually timed out—not because there was no signal, but because the other party didn't answer.

When Jiang Hui clicked into the other person's communication page, she found that the other person was sending something, seemingly typing, deleting, and typing again.

Words are the most powerful language in the world, and such hesitation makes people even more concerned, as if nothing has been said but everything has been said.

Jiang Hui probably didn't realize that at that moment, her brows were tightly furrowed, her heart was pounding so hard that she could almost hear the throbbing of her veins in her ears. She seemed to subconsciously know that she only had a little time left, so she sent a string of numbers as if possessed.

Looking at the delivery notification, Jiang Hui's heart was still pounding, seemingly relieved yet also hanging in suspense.

'goodbye. '

Jiang Hui's pupils dilated rapidly, and she even frantically clicked on the input box, only to immediately see on the communication interface that the other party had deleted her... no, they had deactivated their account. This—

Although she knew she definitely wouldn't be able to get through—after all, she hadn't been able to get through before when the other party hadn't deleted the message—Jiang Hui still wanted to try.

All of this came too suddenly.

As expected, this time the call couldn't get through; the number was simply disconnected.

In interstellar space, a quantum computer account is not like a social media account on Earth. It is directly linked to an individual's identity, and even if you delete the account and create a new one or a secondary account, it will still be directly linked to your identity account.

While StarCraft is very protective of privacy and allows individuals to hide their information, the fundamental principle is that everything must be recorded. The Empire is actually the least tolerant of anonymity. If things go wrong, even the information on your alternate accounts or new accounts could be exposed.

Therefore, information is very transparent in StarCraft, and there is almost no possibility of creating multiple accounts to engage in illegal activities. Because no matter how many accounts you create, you are essentially communicating directly with others using your personal ID, and once the official investigation begins, you will find no way to hide.

Why did Sanger Taylor delete his accounts? Unless he stops using his personal identity and logging into StarNet, no matter how many accounts he deletes, Jiang Hui can still find him when he logs back in.

What's this guy up to? They were having such a good time just a short while ago, how come he deleted his account and ran away as soon as the call ended? Jiang Hui felt like she had overlooked something very important.

"I can't thank you in person."

Please don't forget.

"I really hope I can see you again." "Goodbye."

The guy kept expressing regret. He had already planned to say goodbye to her after this call, and his words were devoid of personal intention, as if he were simply assuming it would be the last time he saw her.

What's wrong with him? What happened? Jiang Hui was getting anxious.

She should have realized earlier that his mental state was off from the very beginning; he seemed on the verge of a breakdown. But afterwards, he acted normally again, communicating quite actively and consistently engaging with others.

It seems like a real breakdown now, but it's anything but normal. His communication was more like a pre-departure briefing; all that talk, including that pile of documents, was important information and intelligence he wanted to convey to Jiang Hui.

But what exactly is he trying to do? Is he going to leave or do something unwise? Jiang Hui easily thought of the worst.

Jiang Hui didn't know how things had turned out this way. She was supposed to be communicating with new friends after surviving a disaster, but it turned out like this... She felt like her heart, which had just started to recover, was about to catch its breath, and she felt completely out of sorts.

She almost regretted sending a string of numbers in the end. How could that guy remember her contact ID if he didn't even want her number? She should… never mind, that person had already made up his mind, and it wasn't something she could change with her words.

But... but... she just regretted not saying goodbye.

After several attempts to call back, Jiang Hui confirmed that the other party had indeed canceled their number. She had to give up on her futile efforts and instead dialed another number.

She was still a little worried and decided to try again.

Jiang Hui remembered that Hillman was currently in the capital. Judging from the communications Hillman sent yesterday, he seemed to be relatively free, so she wondered if she could ask him to help her find out more.

the other side.

The airship sped along, and the people in the back seat sat silently.

He held a ring-shaped optical brain carrier between his fingers. The crystal on the ring face was cracked in the middle, and energy was dissipating, so it should be unusable.

The boy stared straight ahead, his clothes tattered and disheveled, but his resolve was unwavering.

He mumbled something, something that sounded like a number or a name, and then chuckled softly.

He casually put down the completely damaged optical computer carrier and placed it in the storage space in the middle.

The boy used a sharp object to pry open the airship's passageway door. Soon, a sharp alarm sounded from inside the airship, indicating that someone had forcibly opened the passageway door in an abnormal manner during flight.

At an altitude of several thousand meters, the powerful air pressure squeezed the person standing at the entrance of the passage, and the wind whistled, constantly pushing the person into the airship.

But the boy didn't care at all. He forcefully pried open the door at the entrance of the passage, preventing it from closing halfway. His fingers trembled from the force. Finally, he glanced at the things that were safely stored in the storage space behind him, and then jumped down.

No one blocked the passageway, and the door immediately closed. The airship continued speeding toward its destination as if nothing had happened.

goodbye--

Jiang Hui: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing? Why are there so many problem children... I should actually study psychology—charging by the hour wouldn't be such a loss.
