The black-haired young man had no time to follow, so he had no choice but to give up.

He picked up the pocket watch on the ground.

A bronze pocket watch with a gold chain is engraved with a line of small words:

【Time will tell you, don’t be afraid in the dark, I love you.】

The font is beautiful and should have been carved by a woman. The brushstrokes are sharp and make people feel her concentration and love when carving.

He stared at the pocket watch in silence, and suddenly felt extremely sad.

It was as if... something extremely sad and irreparable had happened.

…

…

Su Mingan took off his black robe and heard the task completion prompt:

"Ding dong!"

[Complete the main mission: "Ouroboros".]

【Obtained the fourth place·Dawn Password.】

[Syllable: "Si"]

…

Su Mingan memorized the password.

In this way, he only knew the last Dawn password. According to previous hints, this last password belonged to Dong Anan.

"Call it done." Looking at the ice-white laboratory, Su Mingan said to Xi Ke: "Send me back, Akto is still waiting for me."

The pocket watch has been handed over, and the identity of the person performing the contract will continue indefinitely within nineteen days. The two coordinates of the Central City Laboratory have also been overlapped.

Xiko appeared in front of him.

After a moment of silence, she suddenly said to him:

"PhD."

Su Mingan blinked.

"...Before I send you back, can I hug you?" Xi Ke said.

Su Mingan was slightly startled.

He suddenly remembered the conversation he had with Hiko that night at Consilidin University.

…

["I have always believed that AI has no soul. However, you and the Liming system seem to have human emotions. Liming is even afraid of being shut down." Su Mingan said: "Xiko, do you also have desires?"]

["I want to have a body." Xi Ke said. 】

【"Why?"】

【"To hug you, Doctor."】

[“But I’m not Acto.” He said. 】

["It doesn't matter." Xi Ke said: "To me, it's all the same."]

…

Su Ming'an looked at Xi Ke in front of him. At this time, she was looking at him quietly, waiting for his answer silently. Even if he refused, she would probably accept it silently.

"Can you tell me why you want to hug me?" Su Mingan said. He didn't get along with Xi Ke for a long time.

"Try." Xi Ke said.

"Just trying?"

"Is it okay?" Xiko asked.

Su Mingan stood there and acquiesced.

After a moment, a warm embrace slowly came up to him. She hugged him with controlled movements, and pressed his back with her hands filled with blue light. Su Mingan did not move, accepting the hug like a wooden figure.

"There is one thing that you may not know until the end." Xi Ke whispered: "I hope you won't be angry when you find out at that time."

"I will definitely be very angry." Su Mingan said honestly.

Xixia smiled and pointed her finger between his eyes:

"There is a myth that says that all sinners will be burned to death, and humans are all evil. God took pity on them, so he turned into a lamb and was tied to a wooden frame to die in the place of humans."

"From following the rules to using the rules, and then using the rules to counterattack. If the world is a game, whoever can make the most of the rules will definitely be a hundred times easier."

"At the end, I will tell you how to not become the lamb in the world's game."

"Su Mingan."

"Human beings cannot bind you, and games cannot erase you."
