Defeat the system! Kiss my little monster!

He did not go back upstream.

For He Lan, he is not Su Hui.

Tamo carried Helan's body back. His mind was blank, and his steps were unsteady, like a wandering soul.

The half-rotten skeleton he brought back a long time ago, which had stayed in his small space for so long, finally died again.

The first thing He Lan did after waking up was to destroy it.

Tamo smirked. He hugged He Lan tightly, finally feeling exhausted after hundreds of attempts, and decided to let him go.

Tamer traveled a long way, returning to the dead dragon planet and placing Helan's body back inside.

He Lan, you're right, I'm not Su Hui.

Tamer sat beside the muddy ground, the wind whipping up sand and dust, which silently covered the rapidly decaying dragon skeleton beneath.

Tamo's eyes were unfocused. He hooked his finger around He Lan's and smiled faintly.

I've found him, and I'm returning him to you.

He Lan remained silent, his face eroded by the wind and sand, reduced to a skeleton. Tamo buried his face in He Lan's palm, trying to block the strange liquid that was streaming down his face.

He brought Su Hui back.

He went to find Su Hui.

Tamo remembered what Helan had once told him: Helan's true love would not be his silver ball form, and the one with him should also be a dragon.

White hair, curly hair, golden eyes, long legs.

Tamo prepared all the tools again. Following the description Helan had given him in his memory, he slowly used machinery and plastic to create a dragon that met his requirements.

It may take a long time, but he can wait.

He can wait patiently.

If we create this dragon race and then strip away its emotions and reinsert them into it, then this dragon race will be the most perfect "Retrograde".

He Lan will accept him.

Tamo observed Su Hui's growth every night, when the chill seeped into his heart. He saw that the dragon's appearance remained exquisite as he grew, and he gradually suppressed the excitement in his heart.

If He Lan can accept "tracing back", then everything he is doing now will have meaning.

But he never expected that his own soul would emerge from the mechanical body of Su Hui.

Tamer never allowed him to have any contact with the outside world. He hid the robot at the bottom of the deep sea, cutting off all possible contact with living beings and avoiding all factors that could interfere with him.

But he still managed to generate a soul.

He developed self-awareness, could think, and could move. He broke through the barrier that had been used to isolate him, went to the outside world, and married a mermaid...?

Tamer nearly crushed the screen after learning everything.

What was his purpose in creating retrograde motion?

Was it so that he... could become what is called human?

Is it so that after he develops feelings, he... will fall in love with someone else?

What does all that Natamo has done over the years count for?

What are they anyway?!

The hatred and disgust I felt at that moment almost reached their peak.

The emotions he had once severed and then reunited with were raging within him. Tamo stared at the robot he had created and named Su Hui, and once again felt murderous intent.

If Su Hui doesn't love He Lan, then his existence is meaningless.

This is a mistake.

The error... should be eliminated.

He seemed to have done this once before, so when he dismantled a system again, his methods were still swift and ruthless.

Fragments of the system rained down from the sky. Tamo, standing atop the clouds, turned around and suddenly heard a sharp wail from below.

"Going upstream!!!"

Her voice was shrill and mournful, a testament to her grief to the point of death.

Tamer paused, sensing the attack rushing up from below. He swung his hand and slashed the mermaid's tail. For some reason, he held back a bit of his strength, not going any deeper, only cutting through the scales on the mermaid's leg, not severing it completely.

But this was enough to make the mermaid faint from the pain.

Zhou Yanshu's screams echoed across the sea. Tamo looked down and saw that the seawater was red. The mermaid had fallen into a pile of rubble and was struggling, barely using his cracked body to cover a relatively intact fragment of the system below.

Blood trickled from the corner of his lips, his eyes were bloodshot, and his golden hair was disheveled and messy, but his silver eyes still stared fiercely at Tamo.

In that instant, his face overlapped with that of He Lan from ten thousand years ago.

Tamo stood frozen in place, the chill penetrating to his bones. He awkwardly moved his fingers and quickly looked away.

What is he doing?

What on earth is he doing?!

[A threat has been detected. Delete it?]

The red text floated beside Tamo. His pupils darted around, and he suddenly reached out and slapped the screen away.

He didn't look at Zhou Yanshu again, and left this world as quickly as if he were running away.

"Main system, do you regret it?...Why do you regret it?"

The mocking voices rang in his ears and then slowly faded away. Tamor opened his eyes and gradually felt a stinging sensation rising in his brain, which then subsided again after a short while.

The cleaning task on the big data screen has been completed, showing that all stolen files have been deleted.

Tamo caught a glimpse of the purple light flashing beside him. He suppressed his emotions, stood up, and walked steadily to his side.

No need to pretend, I know you're awake.

A faint purple light shone from Zhou Yanshu's body. He remained hidden inside the system shell, floating motionless in the air without uttering a word.

Tamo smiled at him.

What did you just see? Tell me.

Zhou Yanshu had already witnessed Tamo's sudden loss of control earlier. Leaning against the surveillance railing behind him, he asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Tamer tilted his head, his eyes darting around, finding it amusing.

[Yes, I often go crazy. When I'm in a bad mood, I like to vent. I just smashed that old controller, so if you upset me again...]

He casually kicked the broken pieces on the ground aside.

I'll just use you as a new controller to step on.

Zhou Yanshu: "..."

He chuckled coldly twice, then simply turned his back on the ball and ignored Tamo.

Tamo had not yet intended to kill Zhou Yanshu; he had simply confined Zhou Yanshu in a small space he had created, using a special energy cage to seal him.

"What do you want to do to me?" Zhou Yanshu asked coldly. "Don't try to control me."

[If you don't cause me any trouble, I won't do anything to you. This is your solitary confinement room; I think you need to calm down and think things through.]

When your time is up, I will let you go.

The purple sphere system flashed with light: "Where is Yu Zhuo?"

Tamo didn't stop. He walked to the door and glanced at Zhou Yanshu.

He has nothing to do with you anymore.

"You...!" Before Zhou Yanshu could finish speaking, Tamo closed the spatial gate, trapping his entire sphere inside.

Zhou Yanshu cursed under his breath. He circled around the small cage, but due to the terrifying power of the electric current around him, he had to retreat to his original position for the time being.

This small space is a special territory created by Tamo himself. Without his presence, ordinary systems would probably have difficulty entering.

Zhou Yanshu had severed his contact with Pei Du and the others as soon as he was discovered. Now that the space has cut off the signals that the system can use, Zhou Yanshu is completely unable to contact them again.

……what to do?

Zhou Yanshu huddled in the corner of the space, aimlessly turning the ball around and looking at the scene inside. He felt that the surroundings were dark, gloomy, oppressive, and suffocating, completely devoid of life.

He couldn't just sit there and wait to die. Yu Zhuo's position wasn't confirmed yet, and if he continued to wait like this, he would only achieve nothing.

Zhou Yanshu controlled the outer perimeter of the isolated space of the Purple Sphere System, ignoring the attacks of the electric currents on him, and tried to open a crack from the corner.

"drop--"

A soft sound came from the doorway. Zhou Yanshu stopped what he was doing, immediately withdrew his energy, and floated back to the center of the cage in an orderly manner.
