I am in a world where time stands still

Chapter 197 I don't want
"So, this is of great significance to the technological development of AI-enhanced composite humans, right?" Xiao Fan nodded, and he understood somewhat.

Xiao Fan looked into Lao Gao's eyes and asked, "Old Gao, do you want this too?"

Lao Gao waved his hands, looking indifferent, "No. I'm actually... just curious."

Xiao Fan was a little surprised, "Why?"

"I've been a bartender very well. I feel that such a life is very comfortable. It's the life I want." Lao Gao spread his hands, "No matter how technology develops, it has nothing to do with me. Bartending has always been with my hands .”

"This..." Xiao Fanxin said that I had nothing to refute.

Lao Gao said: "Of course, there are other AI-enhanced composite people in the world. Although I don't care about this thing, they may be very different. So, Xiao Fan, those people just now are examples, they may Try your best to get this thing. So, Xiao Fan, you'd better not let others know that you got the secret code puzzle. This is the safest way. Okay, I just want to take a look at the password puzzle."

Seeing Lao Gao's sincere appearance, it really didn't look like he was lying, Xiao Fan nodded, "Wait for me."

Turning around and entering the house, I asked Li Ruoying to borrow colored stones.

One minute later, Xiao Fan came out.

Pass the colorful stone to Lao Gao.

"See if it's this."

Lao Gao carefully took the colorful stone with both hands, and his eyes radiated an uncontrollable brilliance from the first second they touched it.

Like a pilgrim who finally touched the sacred token, he carefully raised the colored stone to his eyes.

Staring at it stubbornly, as if you could see into the inside of this colorful stone.

Seeing Lao Gao's appearance, Xiao Fan was also secretly startled, and held his breath to concentrate, for fear of disturbing Lao Gao's pilgrimage to this stone.

Ten seconds passed, and Lao Gao was still staring at the stone, without blinking his eyes.

30 seconds passed, 1 minute passed...

Lao Gao still kept that movement, motionless, but when Xiao Fan saw Lao Gao's eyes, something seemed different.

Sure enough, his originally black eyes turned slightly blue.

And the whole person is like a cold machine, falling into trance and becoming motionless.

Looking into Lao Gao's blue eyes, Xiao Fan suddenly thought of Che Heng, the person who once presided over the work of Shuzhou Company of Nunan Fund.

Although Che Heng died with his eyes exploding, Xiao Fan was deeply impressed by Che Heng's blue eyes.

These blue eyes are extremely strange, and when they appear several times, they are always accompanied by the premature disappearance of the barrier of time stillness.

Xiao Fan always suspected that those blue eyes must have something to do with their breaking the barrier of still time.

What about now, Lao Gao, seems to have something to do with them?

Although Lao Gao's eyes are only that kind of light blue, which is not quite the same as Che Heng's blue eyes, Xiao Fan still has to be alert.

"Old Gao..." Xiao Fan couldn't bear it anymore, and asked in a low voice.

However, Lao Gao acted as if he couldn't hear it, he just turned a deaf ear to Xiao Fan's words!
Xiao Fan frowned slightly, and was about to ask again loudly, but Lao Gao's expression suddenly changed.

His face suddenly became as white as paper, and his breathing suddenly became rapid. He gasped for air, as if he was suffocating.

Lao Gao's whole body began to tremble, and his face was twisted in pain.

But even so, he still tried his best to control his hands, carefully holding the colored stone.

"Old Gao? What's wrong with you?" Xiao Fan worriedly grabbed Lao Gao's trembling shoulders to help him maintain his balance and not fall down.

Finally, Lao Gao endured that effort.

He blinked, the light blue layer in his eyes faded and turned back to black, and his face stretched out.

"Huh..." Lao Gao let out a long breath, his face relaxed.

He carefully handed the colored stone back to Xiao Fan, still feeling a little worried.

"As expected...that's it." Lao Gao nodded and said to Xiao Fan solemnly.

"Is it...the password puzzle you just mentioned?" Xiao Fan looked at the colored stone again curiously, but he couldn't tell where the password was.

He asked in confusion: "Where is the password?"

Lao Gao squinted his eyes and rested his mind. He seemed to have consumed too much energy just now. He said: "When the three code puzzles are assembled, the real code should appear. It's normal if you can't see it now."

Xiao Fan nodded, "Then why did you seem so hard just now?"

"I tried to peek into the inside of this first password puzzle, but it was so stubborn that I could only see a little bit of it, and the rest, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't see it..."

Although Lao Gao was a little disappointed, there was more excitement in his eyes, "But enough, I'm sure this colored stone is the first password puzzle!"

"You... really don't want it?" Xiao Fan asked tentatively, "After all, isn't this a technological leap for your AI-enhanced compound humans? You really don't want it?"

"Yes, I don't want to." Lao Gao waved his hand, and answered extremely resolutely.

He sighed and said: "I may be different from other AI-enhanced composite people. Maybe they will compete for this password puzzle, but I am afraid to avoid it."

"why?"

"Isn't this simple?" Lao Gao glanced at the gray-black residue still scattered at the door of the yard, "I can't speak for the AI-enhanced composite people. They will definitely rush for the opportunity to advance technological leaps!"

The old man looked at Xiao Fan firmly, and said, "Xiao Fan, if possible, I hope you keep this thing well, and it is best to avoid being found by other AI-enhanced compound people. This is very precious to them. stuff, and even drive them crazy. But, if I were you, I'd probably wish I hadn't gotten this thing from the start."

Xiao Fan actually thinks the same way, if this thing makes AI-enhanced compound humans flock to it, then it will be a trouble to carry it around.

So, what if you throw it away?

As soon as this idea came up, it was rejected by Xiao Fan.

This is something the system asked me to find, so I dare not throw it away, right?
Well, yes, let’s keep it first...

Xiao Fan doesn't want to mess up the relationship with the system...

After a while, Lao Gao finally fully recovered.

He stood up and waved his hand to Xiao Fan, "Look and see, thank you Xiao Fan, I'm leaving."

"Go? Where are you going?" Xiao Fan stood up in surprise, "Why don't we sleep here tonight and leave tomorrow."
