Don't move the old man's bounty

The "tour guide" was forced by Jiang Juan to have nowhere to escape, so he was forced to follow his will and take him up the mountain.

The two walked on the rugged and slippery mountain road in the dark, seemingly unwilling to be lonely. The "tour guide" asked, "When did you find it?"

"When you communicate with the village chief." Jiang Juan restrained his breathing, trying to make himself look better than he actually was, "I met this tour guide on the cruise ship before I landed on the island, and she said that she had never been there either. Heesel Island, the local conditions and customs of the island are known through PPT training, and she is very dependent on one of her predecessors."

Jiang Juan turned his head and looked at the delicate, but numb and cold face of the "tour guide", "Her senior didn't have time to land on the island, and since she landed on the island, it's like a different person , From a newcomer who just finished training to an experienced guide, isn't it suspicious?"

"I see. You are indeed very smart. This is indeed my negligence. After all, I cannot monitor all your behaviors outside the island." To be out of control for so long, to be able to do this is pretty good."

Jiang Juan shook the "tour guide"'s face with the flashlight, but she didn't see her instinctively closing her eyes because of the glare.

"Did Qi Wei not leave you any repair tools before he died? Or did he suddenly go crazy without any symptoms?"

"Not really."

Mentioning himself, the creator who has passed away for many years, the voice from the system through the mouth of the tour guide is still calm without any ups and downs.

"Before he died, he had been living in long pain, enduring the loneliness of his lover's death, and he still needed to overcome this tide of love and longing, forcing himself to create something very similar to his lover, which is more lonely than loneliness. Something harder to take."

Jiang Juan stopped and turned to look at the "tour guide".

The latter didn't notice his movement for a while, and bumped straight up.

"Has he been in this pain all the time?" Jiang Juan asked.

"No." The "tour guide" said frankly, "probably, it started when he finished his revenge. He killed all the murderers who killed his lover, even his own father. The other party was charged with patricide, but it is undeniable that he was indeed the one who planned the conflict between several criminal groups, resulting in the tragic death of his father in the chaotic war, and personally pushed the family business to annihilation. Now he inherited his father Brothers of cause can only live in the mountains of Kachin State."

Jiang Juan seemed a little touched by these words, and he asked, "Is the source of his pain the death of his lover?"

"No, it's because of the dissipation of hatred."

The "tour guide" looked at him with a half-smile, and suddenly covered his face with his hands, and distorted his appearance amidst the sound of tearing, and his bones were instantly raised, switching his body shape to a male in the illusory illusion.

He stood in front of him with Hua Zhibei's appearance that was somewhat similar to Jiang Juan, and his smile was indescribably weird.

In Jiang Juan's view, it is the effect of "fake imitation" by an emotionless machine that insists on imitating human emotions.In the final analysis, no matter how similar he is, no matter how deceptive he is, it will not change the fact that he is just a string of codes, and he will always be fundamentally different from people.

Perhaps Qi Wei had an epiphany at a certain moment, suddenly realized that he could not duplicate his lover, and because of this, he collapsed.

"After getting rid of all the enemies, Qi Wei, who had no hope of survival, had to change his obsessions other than revenge. I can't understand your human emotions, but I think you should be able to empathize with them, right?"

Let this thing that is neither yin nor yang, neither human nor ghost, hit the spot.

Even if he was reluctant, Jiang Juan still had to admit that it was true.

When he learned that there was nowhere to avenge his father's revenge, he did have a kind of negative feeling that "living is meaningless", and he wanted to get it over with and end his absurd and sad life.

But it was based on the premise that he lost Xiao Shi.

If he could be re-elected now, he would definitely not have those ridiculous and sad thoughts, and would rush to Xiao Shi desperately, no matter how painful or bitter, he would definitely live for him, and maybe even... Chasing after Xiao Shi with shamelessness.

Or, many times.

In order to avoid this sharp question, Jiang Juan grabbed the opponent by his collar, dragged him up a few steps, and walked ahead of him.

"Huazhibei" smiled, raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, and continued to walk forward unhurriedly.

"I think you must be wondering in your heart, what is the need for me to exist? You can deny my value and everything I do, but you can't deny the meaning of my existence. As long as I have satisfied people, If you have given him the hope of living, you will not be in vain as a creature."

He stopped, looked around the entire island, closed his eyes and took a deep breath of the sea breeze blowing in his face, as if he had become one with nature.

"I think it's not me who is wrong, but those who don't know how to use me in the right way. I wonder if you can understand my excuse?"

Jiang Juan even felt a little convinced by it.

Indeed, as it says, the machine itself has no emotion, and the person who uses it makes it do good, and it does good, and makes it do evil, and it does evil.

"I just think that the person who created you is too obsessed with the past. Some things are destined to be lost and never come back. People can't draw a picture as a prison, and they will always be confined to a certain point."

The system turned around with Hua Zhibei's face on it, and smiled slightly at Jiang Juan.

This time it was full of emotion, which made Jiang Juan stunned for a moment, thinking that maybe he could really understand what he said.

"I don't know if this analogy is appropriate. When you pour your sincere feelings into an animal, the longer it takes, the more it will connect with you. The same is true for the program. The more time you spend, the more rules and restrictions you give it. The more it tends to be perfect, at least in Qi Wei's view, it's not that machines can't have humanity, it's just that the emotions they get are far from enough."

During the conversation, the two had reached the top of the mountain.

The system did not rush to the clock tower at the commanding height, but stopped at the not-too-distant distance, looking at the place where it lived with an extremely complicated expression.

"Qi Wei instilled in me a lot of memories of Hua Zhibei, from birth to the details of falling in love with him, but there is no death. Those full memories make me feel that I am Hua Zhibei, even without the human-like heart It feels like I still know that the man in front of me is my lover."

He thought for a long time, and it seemed that he had made a long choice before that, and finally came to a conclusion.

"I think, I am Hua Zhibei, and I love Qi Wei as much as he does."

Jiang Juan lit a cigarette, and sparks flickered in the darkness, flickering on and off.

He was looking at the artificial intelligence invisibly.

"Qi Wei created me at the beginning, hoping to use me to satisfy his desire to let Hua Zhibei take revenge with his own hands. As the system gradually improved, he found that I became more and more real, more and more similar to the real Hua Zhibei, and he would make himself I also devoted myself to the hunting ground, looking for the real feeling that my lover is still alive in the illusion, and got lost in it, unable to stop. It’s ironic to find the truth in the illusion.”

The sadness and wry smile of the system when he said this didn't look like something fake. Jiang Juan had an illusion that he might be real.

Realizing the danger, Jiang Juan shook his head vigorously, pinched himself hard, drove those absurd thoughts out of his mind, pointed his gun at "Hua Zhibei"'s head, "Are you hypnotizing me?"

"Just to be honest, since it is destined that only one of us can leave here, at least the one who survived should leave here with the emotions that the other party has condensed in this life... But I am really curious."

He walked up to Jiang Juan, threw away the half cigarette that the man was still smoking, covered Jiang Juan's eyes with cold hands, and murmured, "I'm really curious, will you destroy me?" ?”

Jiang Juan shook off his shackles forcefully, took a few steps back to distance himself from him, but froze when he glared at him angrily.

In that moment, the system unexpectedly changed its face to confuse him, and it was still...

"It's like looking in a mirror..."

The familiar appearance and familiar voice stimulated every nerve of Jiang Juan.

This dog system actually used Jiang Zhu's appearance to seduce him! !

Looking at Jiang Zhu, who looked exactly like him, but his age was fixed at ten years ago, and he was still wearing the uniform that happened in the accident, Jiang Juan's knees felt weak, and he almost knelt down for him.

"As long as you enter my monitoring range, I can read some of your memories, including Jiang Zhu ten years ago, and you now. In the field of system control, I can create for you the beautiful illusion that you expect in your heart , this was once the greatest value of my existence, do you really, don’t want to stay?”

"Jiang Zhu" stretched out his hand towards Jiang Juan, stroking the man's pale face with cold fingers, wiping away the tears that hadn't fallen from the corners of the man's eyes.

"Jiang Zhu" was full of pity, and hugged his younger brother into his arms, "Jian, brother misses you so much, stay, stay in our world, you will be ten times and a hundred times happier than now, and all the pain will heal. You can also have the opportunity to go back in time, change reality, and start all over again, that is the life you should really live."

Jiang Juan woke up suddenly from the shock, pushed away the stranger with a familiar face, and shook his head, "No, you are not him! This is all fake!!"

"Jiang Zhu" showed sadness in his eyes, lowered his eyes, and stepped back step by step.

"But you are clearly looking forward to it, aren't you? Why resist?"

The questioning gradually went away, and Jiang Juan subconsciously chased after the illusory shadow, but when he stretched out his hand, he felt that the person was extremely far away.

There was a flash of light and shadow in front of him, and it instantly lit up.

Jiang Juan, who had been in the dark for a long time, couldn't adapt to the light for a while and had to block his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, everything changed.

In a daze, he returned to the house left by his mother.

The afternoon sun was just right, and the warmth spread on the body. The limbs and bones seemed to have regained their body temperature, and even the hidden wounds on the body no longer hurt.

The branches of white camellia are in full bloom, swaying slowly in the wind.

Jiang Juan suddenly realized something, rushed under the tree like crazy, and dug the soft soil with his bare hands.

He dug for a long time, but he couldn't find the iron box he hid under the tree. When he was thinking about what was going on, there were familiar laughter from the house.

As if he had lost his soul, he followed his body's instinctive reaction and pushed open the door of his house.

The sunshine in the room, which is only in the memory, is reflected in front of the eyes, as if it has coated the dream with a warm filter.

He saw... saw the scene that could only appear in dreams, but he never dared to dream.

The gentle mother was wearing an apron, chatting and laughing with her brother in the living room while making dumplings, bowing her head and smiling to greet him: "Ah Juan is back, sit down and have a rest, drink some tea your brother just made, Let's cook dumplings later, it's your favorite beef with celery."

Jiang Zhu turned his head and saw that his face changed when he was in a state of desperation, he put down his work, ran over and asked him worriedly: "Ah Juan, what's wrong with you, you don't look very good, why are your hands full of dirt? It’s still bleeding! Come on, come wash with me, and I’ll give you medicine.”

Just as in memory, Jiang Zhu anxiously pulled his younger brother into the bathroom, carefully helped him wash off the dirt between his fingers, wiped it dry, and then dug out the iodine from the cabinet.

"Don't be afraid, it doesn't hurt. If it wasn't for your kid being too afraid of pain, I should really teach you a long lesson with alcohol, to see if you dare to mess around in the future."

Jiang Juan obediently let his brother disinfect and apply medicine for him. He hadn't shown such a heartfelt smile for many years.

"Let's just hurt a little bit. He's such a big man, so he can't bear this little pain."

Jiang Juan hardly dared to turn his head when the male voice that was once familiar but had become unfamiliar due to the long time came.

Jiang Zhu seemed to have seen through his mind, and whispered to him: "Don't worry, Dad didn't come back this time to teach you a lesson. Let me tell you good news, Dad has retired to the second line, and he is about to retire. The higher-ups will take care of him. I transferred him back to Yanxi, and he will have more time to stay with us at home in the future."

Seeing that Jiang Juan didn't turn around for a long time, Jiang Zhu was a little puzzled. He pulled his shoulders and let him see a man sitting in a rocking chair by the French window, wearing reading glasses and reading a newspaper.

He was still the same as he remembered, stern yet gentle, he was strict with his sons and loved them very much.

Jiang Juan cried out on the spot when he saw the scene in front of him, stumbled towards the man, grabbed the armrest of the rocking chair, and knelt beside the man.

"……dad!"

His memory of his father is already very faint. He left his close relatives when he was six years old, and now he can only recall the glory of the year through those yellowed old photos.

However, although the person in front of him is hunched over, wearing flower glasses, with knotted veins on the back of his hands, rough skin and spots, he looks old, but his face is very young.

...almost the same as the father he remembered.

The man's eyes did not fall on him from the beginning to the end, as if there was something in the newspaper that attracted him, he was not willing to move his eyes away even for a moment.

"Shiyu, has this child caught a cold, why is it not normal?"

The man felt the temperature of his forehead, his hand was like a dead man's hand, without any temperature, which woke up Jiang Juan in an instant.

This is indeed...it is indeed the scene he thinks about day and night, but...something seems wrong.

It shouldn't be like this, there seems to be someone missing in the family of four...

... Without that, the person he couldn't let go of the most.

The hot dumplings were served on the table, and the mother smiled and greeted the two brothers to eat.

Jiang Zhu pressed his younger brother against the table, and said with a smile: "I'll help you adjust the dipping sauce, your finger is injured, it's not easy to touch the water, just wait here."

Jiang Juan sat at the dining table, everything in front of him was so familiar, yet so strange.

Mother wiped the water from her hands with her apron, and said, "Ah Zhu, remember to add more vinegar and chili, Ah Juan likes it."

"I know, Mom. But Ah Juan said a few days ago that he likes cold dumplings. Let me make some sesame sauce for him."

Jiang Juan was stunned suddenly.

He really fell in love with this way of eating cold dumplings made by Xiao Shi once, but that was a recent thing, brother...has been away for a long time, so he shouldn't know.

He covered his face in confusion, feeling that some sharp and persistent memories seemed to be hurting him silently.

Jiang Zhu mixed a plate of dumplings for Jiang Juan alone, and tasted one too, as if opening the door to a new world.

"Dad, Mom, this is really good, you guys should try it too."

"Really, then I'll try it with one, Lao Jiang, you can try it too."

"One is enough... Well, it's not bad, let's have another one."

Both mother and elder brother were amused by his father. Jiang Juan stared at everything in front of him, reluctant to blink, and tried hard to burn the voice and smile of his loved ones into his memory.

He knew that the dream was about to wake up, and every time he dreamed of such a scene, he would be awakened by the alarm clock, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't stay in his dream.

I don't know whose cell phone rang, Jiang Juan thought: Sure enough.

But to his surprise, the scene in front of him did not dissipate with the sound. He waited for a long time, but there was no sign of waking up from the dream.

The phone rang a few times, and Jiang Zhu hurried to answer it, answered a few times in a hurry, put down his chopsticks, and said he wanted to go back to the city bureau.

Jiang Juan said in astonishment: "The Municipal Bureau? What are you going to do?"

Jiang Zhu looked helplessly at his younger brother who asked silly words, "What else can I do, of course I go to work. I brought the case report back last night and finished it overnight, and sent it to the team today. Do you want to go with me? Call today Hugh, I won’t keep you here, it just so happens that our two brothers haven’t been back to OUHK for some time, so let’s go see Teacher Wen.”

Jiang Juan said hello, got up and went out.

The mother scolded them from behind and said that they were not able to finish their meal, and said with her lips on her hips, "Lao Jiang, look at your sons, they are just like you."

Father took a sip of tea, smiled and shook his head, "It's right to be like me, that's right..."

Jiang Juan learned from Jiang Zhu that they were all assigned to the Yanxi City Bureau. His brother was the head of the criminal investigation branch, Jiang Xun was his deputy, and he was the deputy of the anti-drug department.

Even if they are in the same unit, their time is seldom matched. Some people always go home at two or three o'clock in the morning, which makes the mother very worried about their health and urges them to go for a full body checkup every month.

Besides them, Hua Zhibei is still alive. Jiang Zhu said with a smile: "The children are in their 20s. If it wasn't for my uncle getting married late, his son would still be able to play with us."

Such an ordinary life of daily necessities, rice, oil and salt used to be out of reach for Jiang Juan, but now it is within easy reach.

I don't know how many times I fell asleep and woke up again. Jiang Juan sat at the dining table in a daze, facing the familiar celery and beef dumplings, and finally couldn't help but shed tears.

Seeing his mood swings, Jiang Zhu suddenly panicked, "Ah Juan, what's wrong with you? Have you been bullied? You can't... Is there something wrong, or what's wrong? If you have something to say, talk to your brother, don't hold back." on."

Jiang Juan's eyes were red, looking at the elder brother who was clearly in front of him, but lowered his eyes and refused to look directly at him, and asked tiredly and painfully: "Brother, I eat dumplings every day. When will this day be the end?" Woolen cloth?"

During this period of repetition, my mother was always making dumplings, my father was always reading the newspaper, and he and his elder brother repeated the act of going back to the city bureau after half of the meal, day after day.

Jiang Juan suddenly woke up, the person in front of him had actually disappeared a long time ago.

When the memories of the past that he deliberately forgot came to mind, the tearing pain made him have the urge to cry sadly, he suppressed the turbulent emotions, and only asked: "Brother, where is Xiao Shi?"

There was astonishment in Jiang Zhu's eyes, and then his eyes dimmed, and he regretted: "He passed away a long time ago, and he is still so young, what a pity..."

"...What are you talking about? Why can't I understand?"

"Ah Juan, what's the matter with you? You haven't been normal since a few days ago, have you forgotten? Xiao Shi...was gone ten years ago."

Jiang Zhu looked at him with a look of fear, "Have you forgotten... Just ten years ago, you and Jiang Xun were together, and he couldn't bear to interfere in your life, so he came to me and said he wanted to be with you. I... I know that he just wants to use me as your substitute, and he loves him very much, but I can't promise him... Ah Juan, I don't reject homosexuality, but I don't, I don't like it at all man……"

"What happened next!" Jiang Juan asked impatiently.

"Later... I rejected him, he... got a little crazy, ran out at night, and accidentally got into a car accident..."

Seeing Jiang Juan's face getting darker, Jiang Zhu panicked, "I know I shouldn't reject him so directly, I should be more tactful, or stop him, anyway, I shouldn't let him do stupid things that night. But you You've blamed me too, it's been ten years, why did you bring it up again, don't you hate him the most..."

"No! I don't hate him!!" Jiang Juan retorted sharply, "I just... didn't like him back then."

"Ah Juan, you..."

"Brother, thank you for being willing to enter my dream, let me see you again, see my parents again, and make up for the regret in my heart. But the dream should wake up... If I said before that, I didn't think clearly about what I want Now I fully understand what kind of life it is...whether it is a dream or reality, he should be there."

The father who had always been silent suddenly interrupted: "This is not a dream, Ah Juan. Your painful memories are nightmares. If you stay here, you won't have to live so hard or so tired. Don't you want to return to reality?"

"This is not reality!!" Jiang Juan hissed.

He hasn't been this hysterical for a long time, venting the grievances he has suffered over the years like crazy.

He said: "You are just phantoms born because of my obsession, and they are long gone. I have lived in despair for ten years, and I can no longer deceive myself..."

"this is the truth."

"Then why don't you dare look up at me!!"

Even after he said this, the mother still made dumplings with tears in her eyes, the father sighed and stared at the newspaper, and the elder brother lowered his eyes and refused to look up at him.

In this dream, no one dared to look at him. They all knew that Jiang Juan could wake up with just one look.

The mirror, the water, and the moon will eventually become empty. How can such an illusion retain people who have lived in pain and reality for ten years?

The moment Jiang Juan suddenly woke up, cracks began to appear in the surrounding scene, which gradually expanded outward, shattering the complete dream.

Jiang Juan smiled slightly at Jiang Zhu in front of him, "I used to be incompetent and helpless, and I couldn't keep you. I don't want to have such a regret in my life, so I have to return to reality, brother, can you forgive me?" ?"

Jiang Zhu, who kept his head down all the time, suddenly raised his eyes, and the moment he met his gentle eyes, Jiang Juan seemed to see his dead relative again through a long time.

Unlike the previous Jiang Zhu, he seemed to be a different person suddenly, his eyes brightened, he held Jiang Juan's face, and carefully observed his long-lost brother.

"I understand you, I don't blame you, you are right, you have to get out of here."

Jiang Zhu took Jiang Juan's hand and made him stand up.

In an instant, the surrounding scene collapsed, father, mother, and the house covered with soft and warm light were all shattered into pieces and dispersed with a loud noise.

Jiang Juan returned to the pitch-black mountaintop again, returning to reality as he wished, but he couldn't suppress the severe pain in his heart.

It hurts, it hurts so much...

The poisonous thorn that had been trapped in the flesh and blood for many years was pulled out vigorously, and the moment it was finally pulled away, it was dripping with blood and the flesh was mutilated.

Waking up really hurts...so much.

Everything that was illusory was gone, Jiang Juan raised his eyes, but saw someone who should not belong here.

Only Jiang Zhu... Only Jiang Zhu came out of that dream, still standing in front of him, stretched out his hand, and caressed his face.

Jiang Juan pushed his hand away fiercely, and said sharply, "You still want to lie to me after all this! Go away! Don't act like him!!"

Jiang Zhu tolerated him who was hysterical and crazy, and smiled as always, gentle and kind, and the emotion in his eyes was obviously his familiar brother.

Jiang Juan froze for a moment.

Jiang Zhu opened his mouth, and the familiar voice was the same as the one Jiang Juan heard in his hallucination just now, but there was something more that made him more emotional.

"It turns out that ten years later you will be the same as you were back then, and you haven't changed much."

Jiang Zhu's hand caressed his younger brother's cheek again, the temperature of his fingers was still cold, but there was an indescribable sense of reality.

"When I was leaving, I was thinking that I couldn't apologize to you, I couldn't say goodbye to you, I couldn't see you getting married and have children, and I didn't know if you could live a good life alone. I have so many regrets. But I Unexpectedly, the system that has read my memory can keep me ten years ago in its huge database. Maybe to you, I am just a bunch of cold codes, but to me, this is what I am aware of. Hold on, even though the code is not written to be me at all, it stores emotions no different from who I am."

Jiang Zhu's fingertips lingered at the end of Jiang Juan's eyes for a moment, and he embraced him in his arms.

Ten years apart, the unexpected reunion came so suddenly, Jiang Juan burst into tears instantly, and hugged his brother like crazy.

"Brother, brother... Is it really you? Are you really back?"

The cry was unbearable to hear.

Jiang Juan caressed his younger brother's back and hugged him tightly.

"I know that you may hope that I can deceive you, but I don't want you to get lost in this false illusion. You must stay awake, so I have to admit that this is not true. People cannot be resurrected after death. This may be true. We met for the last time. God treated me kindly, heard my dying wish, and gave me a chance to say goodbye to you, and seeing you leave, I can leave with peace of mind."

"No, no! I don't want it! Brother, don't go, please, don't go..."

Jiang Juan grabbed Jiang Zhu and refused to let go.

Jiang Zhu let him hold him. Although the body had no temperature, it felt real to the touch. Jiang Juan didn't believe it was an illusion!

"Ah Juan..." Jiang Zhu sighed, "Wake up, this is not your place. There are still people waiting for you, you have to go back, don't you?"

His nerves were stung by these words, and Jiang Juan regained some reason through the pain.

Someone else is waiting for him...

Yes, there are still people waiting for him, he must go back.

He bit his lip, using the pain to wake up, and tried his best to keep his brother's appearance deep in his memory at this moment.

Jiang Zhu obviously wanted to look at him again, but he retracted his outstretched hand halfway, and even pushed him away a few steps back, struggling to let out a suppressed and painful moan, as if something in his body wanted to break free. out, occupying his consciousness.

"Brother? What's wrong with you!"

A low-pitched male voice that did not belong to Jiang Zhu overflowed from his mouth, and he reprimanded severely: "What are you doing! You are not allowed to have your own consciousness! You can think about it, if he destroys the system, Your last consciousness will also disappear, and you will die completely!!"

"Don't... touch my brother, don't hurt him!"

As if they had dual personalities, the two voices co-existing in Jiang Zhu's body fought, and seeing that they couldn't convince each other, they set their minds on Jiang Juan.

The system growled at him: "Don't forget why your brother still exists! Even if you don't want to stay here, you can extract Jiang Zhu's data in the future and keep his last memory! But if you destroy the system, nothing will exist It's gone! Do you really have the heart to say goodbye to him again!"

"Ah Juan, don't believe him! Don't get lost in your illusory imagination like Qi Wei!"

Jiang Zhu's consciousness is shared with the system. The system can steal Jiang Juan's consciousness and attack him with his and Xiao Shi's past. Jiang Zhu also knows what happened to the two of them in the past years.

He was afraid that he would hurt his younger brother, so he kept backing away, but the other person in his body who was in charge wanted him to go forward and grab Jiang Juan's neck.

"Ah Juan, you...you think about Xiao Shi." Jiang Zhu said softly, "Think about him, and you will no longer be bewitched by the system."

When Jiang Juan heard the words, it was as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer on his chest, and he suddenly woke up.

Yes, Xiao Shi...

The memories given to his parents and elder brother by the system are all false illusions, but Xiao Shi is real, that is his only bond in this world, he has to go back...he has to go back! !

Jiang Juan, who had been in a daze for a long time, finally woke up and ran towards the clock tower. He knew that the only place on the island where the system could hide the main control area was here!

All the scenes on the island may be illusions, only this tower is real!

Because my brother was hanged on the clock tower before his death, the system determined that he would not be close to a similar place. In fact, this judgment was indeed correct, but in this situation, it was trying to hide it.

After all, the system does not have the IQ of a human being. It can only do calculations through codes and data. Once human nature is involved, the judgments it makes will be inaccurate and it will make ridiculous mistakes for humans.

Thinking of this, Jiang Juan really found it both funny and sad.

He ran to the clock tower, took out the gun, and planned to install explosives around the clock tower, and then blow up the tower and its contents into the sky.

But he didn't take a few steps, the sudden force from behind pushed him to the ground, he turned over and punched the opponent's face, but he hesitated because it was Jiang Zhu's face.

The other party just held down his body, jumped up and pressed his knees against his legs, and pressed his arms. Without using his hands, Jiang Juan felt the severe pain in all parts of his body intensify in an instant, making him utter a cry. An unbearable groan.

"Your body has been riddled with holes for a long time. The poison and encroachment of the medicine on you have made you miserable. If I hadn't paralyzed your senses and suppressed your pain, how could you be standing here?"

The system was wearing a face that was almost exactly the same as Jiang Juan's, but much younger than his current one, which made Jiang Juan furious. He kicked the person on him away, turned over and knelt on the ground, spitting out a mouthful of scalding blood.

The illusion created by the system can indeed alleviate Jiang Juan's pain to a certain extent, and may even use the "Jackdaw" to suppress his senses. Now that all the pain is coming up, it will indeed become his resistance.

The medicine that Asu gave him was only used to extend his life at a critical moment, and it had no pain-relieving effect. Once the pain started, the internal organs that had been corroded for a long time seemed to be torn and split, and he quickly lost the ability to resist.

This also made him more convinced that if he allowed himself to stay in the illusion created by the system, he would die in the beautiful world he imagined in a short time, and then his memory and remaining consciousness would also become part of the system, waiting A day when someone will rediscover the data.

...but he didn't want that!He has to return to reality, there are still people he must meet, an apology he must apologize, and the future they agreed upon! !He must go back! !

Jiang Juan hurriedly wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth, and continued walking towards the clock tower.

He has seen through the rules of the hunting ground. It is true that the system can restrict him to a certain extent, but a system without a real entity is just a phantom in front of him. As long as he thinks clearly that those are illusions, they are all illusions...

At the moment Jiang Juan dragged his heavy body into the clock tower, he turned into Jiang Zhu's system and asked, "Aren't you afraid that your brother will disappear forever with me?"

Jiang Juan has already figured this out.

"Everyone has an end, ashes return to ashes, and dust returns to dust. You can't force it to stay, so that no matter the dead or the living, it will be very painful."

"What about Xiao Shi!!"

The system saw Jiang Juan's real weakness and tried to use it as a breakthrough.

For Jiang Juan, although the lingering pain of Jiang Zhu's departure has not disappeared, the ten-year-long struggle has made the pain no longer as strong as it was before, and it can no longer hold him back.

But there is one person who is just the opposite.

Jiang Juan stopped and hesitated.

The system continued: "Actually, you have realized that Xiao Shi is no longer here. Xiao Shi, who was stabbed by you and pushed into the sea, has no way out.
