Winter Executor, starting with a system of wronged individuals.

However, she was quite happy to have a leisurely life. Compared to the executives on the front lines, logistics was much easier.

"What, you can't bear to part with me?"

Su Ming easily saw through Sandone's little arrogance, and she didn't want to restrict Su Ming because of this.

Sandonne pouted. "Who wouldn't want to part with you? Humph, I bet you're just looking for some new white silk!"

"Look at what you're saying! When have I, Su Ming, ever been tempted by white silk?"

At this moment, Su Ming seemed to be surrounded by righteous energy, and his aura of justice seemed to solidify, which actually frightened Sandoni back several steps, and his pupils flashed with a look of surprise and uncertainty.

Could it be... could it be that Su Ming has truly reformed?!

"Brother Su Ming~"

A light laugh rang out, and the freshly made white silk stockings swayed in front of Su Ming's eyes for 0.001 seconds. The next moment, a phantom disappeared from the spot like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey and appeared next to Linglan. Its right hand touched the white silk stockings with extremely smooth movements in one go!

Sandoni: "?"

Su Ming's lips twitched slightly. This was purely a reaction of instinct ingrained in his DNA, before his mind could even process it, and had absolutely nothing to do with him personally.

The moment Linglan appeared in her white silk stockings, Su Ming was completely captivated. Who could resist that?

What is this called: jade feet clad in white silk? This is the supreme jade feet ice cream, and its effect is not simply 1+1>2, but a milestone evolution!

Chapter 144 [Long Time No See, Brother Su Ming]

"Hmm."

"Oh yes, yes, go on, I'm listening."

Sandonne, wielding an eighty-pound iron hammer, gave Su Ming a sweet yet murderous smile, so gentle it was as if he were a killer about to smash Su Ming's head into mush at any moment.

"It's getting late, Xiao Sang. We have to pay our respects to the Queen tomorrow. It's good for your health to go to bed early. How about we sleep on vegetarian food tonight?"

Su Ming chuckled and put his arm around Sandoni's shoulder, revealing the cheerful smile of a sunny young man, and chose the classic tactic of changing the subject.

“It’s alright, I don’t need to see the Queen tomorrow, only you need me,” Sandoni gave a cold, merciless laugh, dragging Su Ming toward the small bed in the carriage.

Lily of the Valley, who was already used to it, took a glass of juice and settled into the sofa, put on her earphones and started reading a light novel. She had bought a set of "If You Are Trapped in the Windless Land" in Mondstadt before, and she could finish reading it on the carriage.

Originally intended as a souvenir for Lady Columbia, the carriage ride was incredibly boring. While the first few times I read *Impart*, it was quite novel, but after reading it many times, I found it to be just so-so. Miss Suzuran gradually became numb to it, even finding it less interesting than light novels.

What's the point of just watching and not participating? I should have taken the first carriage by myself. It took longer, but at least it didn't take this kind of mental strain.

The next morning.

Linglan gradually awoke from her sleep, gently parting the curtain of the carriage with her index finger, revealing a familiar, snow-white landscape.

Even through the window, they could feel the chill that had been there for a month; they had entered the winter zone and were at most an hour away from reaching Winter City.

"Finally..." Lily breathed out the window, seeing her own eyes reflected in the light and shadow.

Has she grown? She shouldn't have disappointed Lady Columbia, right?

Su Ming rubbed his aching back and got out of bed, passing under Sandone's sleeping body. Luckily, it was only for a few days; once they left Zhidong, his kidneys would have time to rest.

If you put that kind of intensity on your kidneys every day, then forget it, they'll be ruined in less than a month. At best, they'll lose their ability to fight; at worst, they'll explode and die instantly.

Linglan felt sorry for Su Ming when she saw him like this, but the words of comfort she wanted to say turned into a silvery (mocking) laugh.

Su Ming's lips twitched slightly. This girl really needed to be disciplined; she even dared to mock the executor now.

"Brother Su Ming, um... that will definitely get better gradually. Do you want me to make you some snow lotus tonic soup later?"

Linglan pursed her lips, trying hard to suppress her smile, and seriously offered Su Ming advice on nourishing his kidneys, so that the executive officer wouldn't be so weak even when walking.

"Do you think I'm that weak? Even a dog wouldn't want me!"

Su Ming spat, expressing his utter disdain, and then naturally continued, "Remember to bring it to the room tonight, and keep a distance from Sandoni."

Being stubborn is just part of the process; agreeing is purely for physical reasons. Adults always have to learn to compromise.

Lily of the Valley: 6

When Sandone woke up, the carriage had already arrived at Winterhold. Following the outer road upwards, they arrived at the familiar mechanical workshop.

When Sandone was not around, it was obviously Dango who was in charge of the workshop's operation. It seemed that not only was everything alright, but it was also much more reasonable than when Sandone was there.

Linglan couldn't wait to get off the carriage, and when she stepped onto the long-missed snow, she had the idea of ​​rolling around in the snowdrift.

"Hey, isn't this Winter City?" Su Ming stretched and stepped out of the carriage. He waved to Tuanzi at the workshop entrance. "Long time no see, long time no see. Hurry up and take your Sandonian ancestor with you."

Sandonne mercilessly slapped Su Ming on the back with an 80-point shot, then jogged up to Tuanzi with a smile, "I'm back."

"Welcome back, Sandone."

Tuanzi still uses her usual mechanical voice, only using her original voice when she is alone with Sandonne.

Su Ming curiously moved closer to Tuanzi, "So...you're actually Sandone too?"

That memory wasn't in his mind; perhaps the dumpling was his only way of accessing his past.

This is unbelievable. It's impossible that he had already traveled through time without even knowing it himself, right?

What? He can reincarnate nine times? The thing is, who reincarnates without memories? This is nothing like a light novel protagonist!

System, you're such a rip-off!

So, not only is the content outrageous, but it also lacks its most important feature: the reincarnation function?

[This system does not have a reincarnation function, so please refrain from making unwarranted accusations.]

The system silently popped up a blue window to explain, refusing to take the blame. It argued that the system's "reincarnation" function was completely out of place, a completely foreign concept.

“Let’s talk inside the workshop,” Tuanzi didn’t answer directly. Instead, she patted Sandonne’s head with her big hand and held her in her palm, just like before.

Sandone felt a long-lost sense of peace. This was the first time she had been away from Tuanzi for so long. She was probably so at ease because Tuanzi knew she was going to find Su Ming.

"Then I'll go to the church first," Linglan said to Su Ming and Sandoni with great tact, picked out a few souvenirs and left.

She was also eager to see Lady Columbia again. Because she left in a hurry, she didn't look at the contents of the souvenirs carefully. Anyway, there were many, and she could move them all over later.

"Meet at the Hearth House tonight," Su Ming reminded Ling Lan, and then followed Tuanzi into the Mechanical Workshop.

The heavy doors slowly slammed shut, and the workshop's perfect soundproofing ensured that their conversation would not be overheard by anyone.

"Let's begin," Tuanzi's voice returned to its cool, feminine tone. It looked at Sandone, seemingly wanting to offer a smile, but the machine lacked this function, making it appear particularly forlorn.

"Um..."

Sandone pursed his lips, went around to the back of the dumpling's body and performed a very complicated operation. With the sound of gears turning, the front of the dumpling's huge body slowly opened, and extreme cold, colder than the temperature of winter, poured out. A thin and small figure gradually appeared in front of Su Ming.

The girl's skin was whiter than snow, to an unhealthy degree, as if it were about to be erased.

Countless complex pipes connected to the girl's body from behind, and her sides were covered with high-tech instruments that were completely out of place in Teyvat, as if they were technology from the future.

The girl's eyes were bright. When she saw Su Ming, she first narrowed her eyes, and then gave a weak smile.

Long time no see, Su Ming-ge!

The above text appeared on the screen she was holding with both hands.

Chapter 145 "Can I hug you?"

Its snow-white hair cascaded down its sides, and its face, identical to Sandoni's, spoke volumes about its identity.

The body, connected by mechanical pipes, has many visible mechanical structures, and its form may indeed no longer be considered human.

Tuanzi pressed the button on the side of the screen again, and the familiar, cool voice rang out once more: "Long time no see, Brother Su Ming."

“Tuanzi can’t speak, she can only rely on machines,” Sandonne said, standing next to Tuanzi. The two were almost identical except for their hair color.

Sandone's hair was brownish-red, while the dumpling was like a monotonous white after all colors had faded.

"So, between you and Tuanzi, which one is actually Sandone?" Su Ming was a little confused. Although he had heard Sandone talk about it before, he still found it hard to understand such an abstract term as "container of memories." After all, in his view, Tuanzi and Sandone were clearly two different individuals.

"The real Sandonne died on a snowy night ten years ago."

Tuanzi's first words were a direct shock to Su Ming: "What's left are only Sandone's memories and this body filled with machinery."

"Have you heard of the Ship of Theseus?" Tuanzi always had a smile on its lips. Su Ming couldn't understand why it could still show such a warm smile now, as if it had finally seen the thing it had been longing for.

"My original body has long been completely replaced by machinery. Can this 'me' still be called 'Sandogne'?"

"Or is it simply a container that preserves the memories of the person named Sandone?"

Tuanzi barely managed to raise her right hand, which was wrapped in a transparent tube, but the smile on her face never changed, and her eyes remained fixed on Su Ming.

It was as if they were gazing at Su Ming, or seeing through Su Ming some trace left behind.

Su Ming opened his mouth, wanting to say something comforting, but the words didn't come out. He saw a gentle joy in Tuanzi's eyes, as if she had accomplished something she had longed to do for a long time.

Why does this girl seem so strangely familiar to me, even though it's the first time I've seen her?

"Five years... I spent five years creating Sandone's body, but an accident occurred during the memory transfer process. No matter how human a person looks, they cannot truly accept the past that only the heart can understand."

"After the memory transmission collapsed, Sandone became a dumpling that retained its past memories, as well as Sandone, the puppet who now serves as the seventh executive officer."

“My body is almost unable to move, and I can only move around by relying on the robot’s shell. I usually just serve as a machine to accompany Sandonne.”

"Can...can you hug me?"

For the first time, the smile on Tuanzi's pretty face became a little strange, as if a string had finally snapped, and she could no longer hold back the emotions surging inside her.

Su Ming stepped forward without hesitation, but hesitated for a moment when he reached out his hand. Tuanzi was like a fragile flower bud, which would fall apart if touched lightly.

A brief scene flashed before my eyes again: Sandone, her body covered in frost, was being carried into a machine. A hand gently stroked her forehead, and then the machine's casing was slowly closed. Countless mechanical pipes pierced into the girl's already lifeless body.

"System, the amusement park can do it."

【——*****——】

"I've been through this so many times, I'm used to it by now, and you should be used to my personality too."

[WARNING: The park may collapse]

"Really? Well, at least we can use it one more time."

"My 'corpses' must be countless by now."

A strange yet familiar hand rested on the top of the machine. Su Ming remained silent for a long time before recognizing it as his own hand.

Countless ice flowers bloom, as gentle as if weaving a dream, while the arm in the picture is gradually frozen by the ice.
