merit book

Due to the confidentiality rules of the "Book of Merit and Virtue", Xiao Qingcheng did not write down the specific content exactly, but only hinted at the content and her speculation in a relatively obscure way.Rong Yuan watched it twice, and then gradually came back to it.

This new rule is not so much a rule as a reminder, and only a small part of it is shown.

In Xiao Qingcheng's records, this rule reminds the origin of the "Book of Merit". If the contractor can follow the prompts and pursue it, he may eventually be able to explore its essence and truly become the master of the "Book of Merit" instead of No longer is it just a contractual relationship restricted and constrained by the "Book of Merit".

In the "Book of Merit" in the past, when the content of a rule involved more complicated situations, it would not be displayed all at once, but would appear one by one according to the trigger conditions of the contractor.The same is true for this rule. The first hint is actually very vague. Xiao Qingcheng speculates that when the merit reaches ten million, one hundred million, one billion or more, the remaining more specific and clear hints will be revealed one by one, and finally It will lead the contractor to the origin of the "Book of Merit", making the "Book of Merit" a part of the contractor and a prop in his or her hands, and the merits obtained by punishing evil and promoting good are no longer simply The number will become the power of the contractor itself.

In other words, use the "Book of Merit and Virtue" as a magic tool to become a god!

At the same time, she also guessed that if the contractor chooses the path of thorough punishment of evil and completely eliminates good deeds, there will be similar suggestive rules in the "Book of Merits and Deeds", but this rule will lead the contractor to a complete A different path—that is, to give up pursuing the essence of the "Book of Merit", but to find a way to destroy the "Book of Merit", and from then on to completely break away from the shackles of the "Book of Merit", and will no longer hurt others because of negative merit or the termination of the contract. He has mastered powerful power, but he will not be restrained by it, and he can do good or evil in one thought.

This is the way of the devil.

But the latter is just Xiao Qingcheng's conjecture. She used a lot of uncertain words, which shows that she actually had a lot of doubts and confusion in her heart when she wrote this text.

Rong Yuan didn't know if Xiao Qingcheng also thought about going down this road at that time until he found the source of all the secrets.The records at the back of the letter were very scattered and chaotic. He half-guessed and pieced together an outline of what happened that year.

In order to prevent the massacre of the city, Xiao Qingcheng used a lot of black technology in the merit mall.There are too many people involved and it is impossible to block the news. After the incident spread, the rumors became more and more outrageous. Although people at that time had a monotonous life with blocked information, their brains were not inferior to modern people a hundred years later.The people are ignorant, the more absurd the rumor, the happier they spread it, but the lower the trust in their hearts, the less people with insight will believe such legends, but use various ingenious mechanisms and strategies to explain it. thing.

But the people who are closer to Xiao Xiao and the smarter they are, the more they understand that when she decided to negotiate alone, she didn't have any backup and helpers at all, and the more she understands the miraculous power she showed in this matter .

So, shortly after that incident, Xiao Qingcheng faced simultaneous betrayal by the person he loved the most and the person he trusted the most. The confidants around him were almost slaughtered, and the few remaining branches of the Xiao family all died, and they were always regarded as partners. Some people in the sugar army also started to hit her attention.She was seriously injured and on the verge of death when she was unprepared. It is far from known what kind of psychological journey the girl went through during this period.It was just that before that, although Xiao Qingcheng also experienced war and death, but because of the relationship with the "Book of Merit", he didn't actually suffer much, so he always kept the most glorious side of human nature and deep trust in his heart; after that , she incarnates as the vengeful Shura and secretly kills all those who hurt her close relatives. At the same time, she also has reservations about the support for the war. She only focuses on developing fully simulated intelligent robots and preparing for her own retreat.

Because of revenge, Xiao Qingcheng lost the qualification to continue to receive follow-up reminders, and she herself didn't seem to have the desire to explore further.Therefore, after the revenge was over, she sealed the "Minor Record Handbook" in this metal box, perhaps still hoping to give a little reminder to future generations, but at that time, she might have already had the desire to destroy the "Minor and Virtue Record" in the metal box. Book of Thoughts—from her contradictory behavior of keeping the manuscript, yet sealing it so tightly, it is not difficult to see the conflicting ideas in it.

After that, Xiao Qingcheng seemed to have never recorded a single word about the "Book of Merit and Virtue".Therefore, what Rong Yuan knew about her better was when she changed her name to Xiao Xiao and started to get in touch with him.But at that time, because the amount of information was unequal, and his own experience and ability were relatively shallow, so he always looked at Xiao Xiao in a blur, and the hostility and vigilance in his heart made them never really compare trust and In close contact, he didn't even know Xiao Xiao's real name, so it was naturally impossible for him to learn more secret information.

Rong Yuan opened one of the pages of the handbook, and the entire page was filled with a picture hand-painted by Xiao Qingcheng—its shape seemed to be that of the divine beast Bai Ze, but she drew the body of the divine beast very strangely, with the horns on its head It turned into strangely shaped antlers, added some weird patterns, and added a pair of huge wings that did not exist in myths and legends on the back, and finally drew the mythical beast into a four-shaped image.But judging from the extremely serious brushstrokes, she did not draw this painting randomly, but had to do so in order to achieve a certain accurate description.

This painting is the "prompt rule" left by Xiao Xiao.

Rong Yuan believes that the content of the original rules should be much simpler and more straightforward than this, but due to the principle of confidentiality and the restrictions of this special rule, she can't even write it down in vague words, and can only draw such a four-dimensional pattern. .Compared with Xiao Qingcheng's original reminder, Rong Yuan's reminder was more cryptic, and it was impossible for him to get the follow-up content of that rule.But it is undeniable that after reading these words, his heart is already ready to move, and he can't wait to embark on the journey of finding the answer.

……

After Flipping through the book for a while, Fat Cat almost fell asleep due to the densely packed text.He rolled his eyes, put down his book, rubbed his hands lightly beside Jin Yang, rubbed his hands together and asked, "Brother Jin Yang, Brother Xiao Yuan hasn't heard from you for a long time, tell me...do we need to go up?" have a look?"

Rong Jing who was not far away had been waiting anxiously for a long time, so he immediately pricked up his ears and looked over eagerly.

Jin Yanggang found a picture book for Jin Yun to read, and told him the historical stories described in the picture book. Hearing this, he smiled helplessly. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly saw Jin Yun in his arms looking up at the stairs, his gaze The degree of concentration seems to have forgotten the existence of his father.

With the sound of light footsteps, Jin Yang picked up his son, stood up and turned around, only to see Rong Yuan walking down the stairs. It seemed that he hadn't changed much from before, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he threw down a big thunder .

"I'm leaving, let's say goodbye."

Everyone was shocked, Rong Jing blurted out: "Let's go? Brother, where are you going?"

"So hasty?" Jin Yang frowned and said, "Tingting cooked at home, my parents, Zhou Yuan, and former classmates and friends... don't you want to see each other again?" While speaking, he also felt this reason Pale and feeble - Rong Yuan has never been someone who cares about farewell ceremonies.

Rong Yuan shook his head lightly and said: "There's no need. All the things that must be done have already been done. It doesn't make any difference if it's two days later or two days earlier. Why don't you just leave now."

There must be pain in parting, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain.What's more, every minute and every second he stays on the earth is equivalent to a bomb that will be detonated at any time.Instead of staying in fear, it is better to leave as soon as possible.

"What do you guys say, why does it sound so strange to me?" Fat Cat blinked his small eyes and said, "It sounds like Brother Xiao Yuan never came back after he left."

"Brother..." Rong Jing looked at Rong Yuan pleadingly, but didn't know how to keep him.

Rong Yuan hesitated for a moment, reached out and rubbed Rong Jing's head, turned around and said to Jin Yang: "This kid is good, I won't have a chance in the future, you can take care of me for a while." They can't talk to each other anymore. What tone of request.

"You don't need to tell me, I have always regarded Yuanyuan as my younger brother." Jin Yang sighed.

The tears of Rongjing next to him suddenly came down.

Rong Yuan then said to the secret service personnel who came in: "This library will be reserved for Shao Bao'er in the future. The relevant documents are in the research institute. I have already signed them, and Zhou Yuan will send them to you later."

He only took away the notebook, and the rest of the precious books that may be priceless in the eyes of the world have no meaning for him.

The two special agents looked at each other, they were only responsible for protecting Rong Yuan, but they had no right to interfere with his choice, they could only nod and say, "Yes!" Then one of them walked to the side, sweating profusely to report the situation to his superiors.

When Jin Nan received the news, he just nodded and said, "Understood." Without giving any instructions to the confused reporter, he sent them away. He walked to the window, overlooking City B shrouded in fog, His eyes were heavy.

About leaving, Rong Yuan had already communicated with him.Jin Nan, who vaguely guessed Rong Yuan's destination, knew that he could not stop that person's footsteps.

In the research institute, Zhou Yuan, who knew the news earlier than anyone else, lay on the table and cried loudly, feeling that all the strength in his body had been drained.She cried so sadly and desperately, revealing a kind of pain as if her soul was torn apart, so that none of her colleagues and friends dared to come forward and ask why.

Rong Yuan finally said to Jin Yang: "Noah will go with me, and I will not intervene in the management of Skynet in the future. Fortunately, the framework has been set up now, and the basic rules and regulations have also been perfected. In the future, it should generally be It can operate autonomously, but without supervision, there will definitely be some illegal phenomena.”

This is the first time that Rong Yuan has publicly admitted his relationship with Skynet. Although Rong Jing and the others have already guessed it, they still have the feeling that they have heard the great secret at this time, and they wish they could grow eight pairs of ears.

Rong Yuan glanced at the two of them, and they immediately turned their heads in fright.Then Rong Yuan said: "Jin Nan promised to help me take care of it, but he is too busy, so I don't trust others. If you have time, you can take care of me. From now on..."

He lowered his head to look at Xiao Jinyun who had been obediently silent but listening quietly. There was a bit of thinking in his expression that didn't match his age. It was obvious that he not only understood, but also had his own thoughts.

On the plane, Jin Yun's expression also fell into Rong Yuan's eyes.He hesitated for a while, but finally decided to trust his feelings, and said to Jin Yang: "When Xiaoyun grows up, you might as well hand over Skynet to him."

"Xiao Yun?" Jin Yang was taken aback, "He's still too young..."

"Small now, doesn't mean it will stay young in the future." Rong Yuan shook his head and said, "Who can say for sure what will happen in the future? If he doesn't want to in the future, just pretend I didn't say it!"

He said it as if Skynet was a burden, but the few people around him knew what his entrustment meant.Skynet does not only represent a responsibility and selfless help. Although it is not a completely non-profit organization, the huge network of human relationships it weaves, the popular opinions of countless people around the world, and the incalculable information channels are all It is something that countless people are willing to lose their fortunes and want to get, but Rong Yuan put it in the hands of a five-year-old child so lightly and deftly.

The heavy bombs hit their heads one after another, causing everyone to almost lose their ability to react.Rong Yuan thought for a while, he has already finished what he wanted to say, if there is anything missing... It's not like he won't come back at all in the future, he's finished his current planned journey, and he will definitely come back ten or twenty years later See, it will be the same when the time comes.

So he waved his hand and said, "That's it, I'm leaving, don't follow me anymore."

"Xiaoyuan!"

As soon as he took two steps, Jin Yang's uncontrollable shout came from behind him.Rong Yuan turned around and saw Jin Yang put down Jin Yun, strode over and gave him a hug, and whispered in his ear with a slightly trembling voice: "Live well, don't die! Don't forget that you still have me on the earth." This brother."

Rong Yuan lost his mind for a moment, Jin Yang's birthday is only one month and one day older than him, when he was a child he often called himself his elder brother for this reason, and the two argued a few times about it, but they haven't heard it for a long time since they became adults. pass.

Now it sounds like this is a promise of "I will protect you".

Rong Yuan hugged back, then let go.Seeing Jin Yang reaching out and trying to remove the jade leaf hanging around his neck, he shook his head to stop him, and said, "No, you keep it, and you can give it to Xiaoyun in the future." Whoever's body is the same will protect their family.

Jin Yang was taken aback for a moment, looked at Jin Yun who was put down by him, and didn't insist anymore.

"...Take care." Rong Yuan was silent for a while, then said, turned and left.

"Brother!" Seeing that Rong Yuan opened the door of the library, the sunlight came in from outside the door, it seemed that the figure standing at the door was almost melted in the light.Rong Jing suddenly had a premonition that he would never see him again, and hurriedly shouted: "Where are you going? Can't you take me with you?"

"Mirror!" Fat Cat shouted in shock.

Rong Jing didn't know why he said such a sentence suddenly, he was also stunned, but when he came back to his senses, he didn't regret it in his heart, instead he felt very relaxed.

But the figure of Rong Yuan who walked to the door just paused for a moment, then waved his hand and left without any response.

The moment the door closed, Jin Yang suddenly saw Emirida standing outside the door at some point, with a silver-white egg-like thing beside him, the top of which seemed to have turned half a circle slightly.

"Click."

The sound of the bronze door closing woke up Rong Jing and the secret service personnel. They rushed to the door and opened it, only to find that the two guarding the door were already unconscious, with a wide and empty field of vision, no barriers, and nothing they wanted. The figure seen.

The author has something to say:

So the text ends.
