The Ninth Year the Great Demon King Waited for a Guide

What exactly does the Dark Sentinel represent? From the past to the present, there are always many opinions in the Federation.

Some people say that the Dark Sentinels do not need a guide, so no one can restrict their actions. They are naturally brutal and uncontrollable demons. One day in the future, they will be completely swallowed by power and cause irreversible disasters.

Some people also say that the source of their power is to draw from their own kind. They kill other sentinels without listening, and take other people's power as their own.

There are many other theories, and Xie Yuzhou can't list all of them, but they are all similar, showing that the Dark Sentinel is such an uncontrollable danger.

Xie Yuzhou used to be the chief guide of the White Tower. He was able to get in touch with many secrets about sentries and guides. Of course, he knew this matter better than anyone else.

It is also because of this that Xie Yuzhou tried his best to prevent Jin Yuan from becoming a dark sentinel.

But now it seems that his blocking and previous efforts have obviously been in vain.

Xie Can said this naturally because of worry, but Xie Yuzhou was different from what he thought.

Meeting Xie Can's gaze, Xie Yuzhou said, "Brother, you know what Jin Yuan has been doing in the Federation these years, don't you?"

Xie Can answered without hesitation. These things are too sensational for the Federation, and it is hard for anyone not to have heard of them: "Of course I know that he expelled the veterans of the Federation and killed many battlefields in the past nine years. The hero of the world, even the previous federal president was forced to retire by him, if he was not conscious of the power of the dark sentinel, if he was not crazy, how could he do such a thing?"

He said these words righteously, obviously already prepared.

Xie Yuzhou had already felt Xie Can's rejection of Jin Yuan from the time he was in Shuangyexing. At first, he didn't pay much attention to it, thinking it was just because his brother refused to let him contact other people. Only then did he realize that Xie Can had been wary of Jin Yuan since then.

Thinking of this, Xie Yuzhou felt even more helpless, and he corrected: "That's not the case."

Xie Can frowned: "What's wrong..."

"Those who were killed by him." Xie Yuzhou said this, with a bitter smile on his lips, "They are almost all the masterminds who once framed me and led me to the Dusk Star battlefield."

Xie Can was not prepared to listen to Xie Yuzhou's excuses for Jin Yuan at all. He was about to continue persuading him with a cold voice, but when he noticed the content of Xie Yuzhou's words, his expression froze for a moment, and he almost said in a daze: " What?"

Xie Yuzhou finally got serious when he said this: "Brother, he is avenging me."

Although these words are really easy to understand, Xie Can still seems unable to understand them. He really didn't expect that there is such a relationship between these two people. He said puzzledly: "Didn't you say that?" You and Jin Yuan are due to other reasons..."

Xie Yuzhou nodded: "That's right, but it's not just that."

So far, even he can't say clearly. When he was the chief guide Xie Yuzhou, he always educated Jin Yuan as a kid. Until he "died" for the Federation, he never thought about it. Tian himself might really be with Jin Yuan.But what he couldn't deny was that since he woke up, facing Jin Yuan now, he did have expectations.

It's just that there seems to be something missing between them, and it hasn't been enough so far.

But even so, he was still waiting for Jin Yuan at the same place.

Xie Yuzhou kept these thoughts in his heart, with the same dignified expression as Xie Can, and said in a low voice: "I only know that even if he is crazy, he is crazy to avenge me, so I will take care of his affairs. I am also responsible for pulling him back no matter what he becomes."

Xie Yuzhou made his thoughts clear, and Xie Can's persuasion was meaningless. He stared into his younger brother's eyes, knowing that what he said was undoubtedly serious.

As long as a decision is made, Xie Yuzhou will never change it.

From many years ago, Xie Can knew that his brother was such a person.

In this case, he has no way to say anything more, so he can only compromise and say: "If you encounter dangerous things, remember to come back to me. Although I have no ability, but fortunately, I have money and can hire people."

"En." Xie Yuzhou breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Xie Can would not say anything more, so he nodded and said, "I see."

Tomorrow is the day when Yaoxi's virtual concert starts, and Xie Yuzhou will be able to see Xu Yinzhou again soon.

In order not to reveal his flaws in advance, Xie Yuzhou was dragged by Xie Can to get alone with Yaoxi first, so that he could get familiar with Yaoxi's movements and habits first, so that he could successfully pretend to be the virtual idol.

In fact, the character Yaoxi was originally created with Xie Yuzhou as the prototype, and many of his habits are similar to Xie Yuzhou, so it is not too difficult to disguise. What Xie Yuzhou needs to pay attention to is only the difference in certain expressions .

After all, Yaoxi is a virtual idol, and what he conveys to the audience of the Federation can only convey innocence and happiness. Although Xie Yuzhou was a young master before, he has entered the military department later, so his body is always indispensable. There is a bit more decisive military atmosphere.

This is a completely different place between the two, and it is also a place that can be distinguished at a glance.

Xie Yuzhou knew in his heart that Yaoxi's prototype should be exactly who he was before, not who he is now.

Getting along with artificial intelligence is not a strange thing, but getting along with an artificial intelligence that looks the same as yourself, things become strange.

It took Xie Yuzhou a long time to accept the strange thing of "talking to myself". Yaoxi is a virtual character without any scheming. He seems to be full of curiosity about everything. Although his temperament seems gentle, But in fact, he is cunning and difficult to deal with, which is really similar to his temper when he was a child.

Even at the end, Xie Yuzhou couldn't help but feel a strange feeling, as if he was not talking to artificial intelligence, but talking to his young self who had never left Yue Zhouxing.

For the past, if you say nostalgia, there is naturally, if you say reluctance...

He will never give up the way forward because of the past, at least he has understood it since a long time ago.

After chatting with Yaoxi for half an hour, Xie Yuzhou felt that he should have gotten to know this virtual idol pretty well, so he got up and prepared to go back to his room.

Before leaving, Yaoxi looked at Xie Yuzhou steadfastly, followed his direction closely, and couldn't help asking: "Are you going to do something important tomorrow?"

Although he knew that the person in front of him was just an artificial intelligence, Xie Yuzhou couldn't help but treat him as a real person. Xie Yuzhou looked back at him, nodded and said, "It should be possible to say that."

"You will definitely have good luck." Yaoxi smiled and made a gesture of encouragement, blinked and said mysteriously, "Because you are me."

Xie Yuzhou also laughed, nodded and said, "Yes."

Xie Yuzhou walked out of the room, and Xie Can was waiting outside. He seemed a little nervous when he came out, as if he was expecting Xie Yuzhou to say something. He asked, "How is Yaoxi? Did you do it well?" Perfect? ​​That's exactly how you look."

Yaoxi is indeed very perfect. After chatting with this artificial intelligence composed of data for a while, Xie Yuzhou has roughly understood why he is so popular, why people like Zong Yu and others , would flatter and like Yaoxi like this.This virtual idol is indeed like a man made of the best words in the world

He is kind, cute and full of fighting spirit. He is only optimistic but not hazy. Although this is the case, he is not completely gentle and lifeless, but lively and vivid. This is indeed the perfect "idol".

According to what Xie Can said, Xie Yuzhou could see that Xie Can said that the prototype of this virtual idol was himself.

But Xie Yuzhou knew that the real him was not like this.

He is far inferior to this imaginary virtual idol, just because in the eyes of his brother, he is so perfect.

Xie Yuzhou felt sour and funny at the same time, nodded and said, "He's fine, but don't you think too much of me?"

Xie Can was startled, and then seriously reflected: "Is there?"

Xie Yuzhou shrugged and said, "If I was really as good as Yaoxi, I wouldn't have been punished by you for confinement and writing a review when I was young."

Xie Can couldn't help laughing and cursing when she heard this: "You boy!"

The two brothers chatted and laughed a little, because they still had to prepare for tomorrow's virtual concert, Xie Yuzhou was quickly rushed back to the room by Xie Can, and then Xie Can also went in to find Yaoxi, and called the housekeeper Yang Zhang, Start planning tomorrow's work.

But in fact, after returning to the room, Xie Yuzhou still didn't feel sleepy.

He lay on the bed alone, took out the terminal to play for a while, and soon found that Jin Yuan had sent a message when he was chatting with Yaoxi, saying that he had arrived home.

Xie Yuzhou saw that there was a big white wolf with a pink bow behind the text message he sent, and the corners of his lips curled up again.

He suddenly remembered that when Jin Yuan first went to Sentinel Academy, he would personally send Jin Yuan to the academy to attend classes every week.And after he did this a few times, because he was too busy with work, he couldn't go with Jin Yuan, so he asked him to go by himself.In fact, Jin Yuan already had it at that time, and he didn't need him to accompany him like a child every day, but Xie Yuzhou had no experience in taking care of others, so he cared more than others.

At that time, Xie Yuzhou bought Jin Yuan a portable terminal and told him to use the terminal to send him a message every time he arrived at the academy, as a sign of his safety.

And this habit was continued by Jin Yuan for some reason, and every time he went out, Jin Yuan would send him a message after arriving at his destination.

But speaking of this, Xie Yuzhou suddenly remembered that he hadn't logged in to his previous terminal account since he recovered his memory.

As the memory recovered, he also remembered a lot of things from his past. Xie Yuzhou felt that it was unnecessary not to log in before. The ID in the previous account is entered.

In fact, he couldn't say clearly what his purpose of doing this was, but he just wanted to see what was left in his terminal account after he left.

The terminal accounts of the federation are all real-named by everyone, and have multiple encryption functions. Although Xie Yuzhou felt that his terminal account must have been used by other people in the federation after his "death" and had been checked, but now after After so many years, no one should monitor this account anymore.

Xie Yuzhou used a little trick when he went online to prevent himself from being discovered by others after logging in. After that, he opened his own records and saw his address book from nine years ago.

Many of the people on those lists have now turned gray, because many of them have "disappeared" from the Federation during Jin Yuan's process of purging the Federation.

And some people died or disappeared during the battle.

And there are...

Xie Yuzhou looked at the few people at the bottom. Among them, Tan Ye no longer used the previous terminal account, so from him, he saw that Tan Ye's avatar showed an error code, and Xie Yuzhou thought that he would go to see him tomorrow. Xu Yinzhou, and then tentatively checked the contacts in the terminal, but found that Xu Yinzhou's name was not in the contacts of his terminal.

Did this guy delete himself?

He had a complicated expression and found it funny, and he didn't open the message interface again until he finished reading these contacts.

This time, almost as soon as the interface was opened, those messages flooded the screen. Xie Yuzhou only felt that the whole film was full of red message prompts. After looking at it for a while, he realized that the message prompts were almost all from the same person. .

Jin Yuan.

No one would contact a dead person, but Jin Yuan would.

Xie Yuzhou carefully read those messages. The nine years of messages have piled up. Calculated according to time, at the beginning there were two sporadic messages sent to his terminal from other people, including his former comrades-in-arms. , and people like Tan Ye, sometimes it can be seen that Tan Ye should be unable to sleep late at night, and will occasionally send him a few words.

But as time goes by, the dead will always gradually move away from the world of the living. After all, they have to face various problems to survive, and people start to get busy, so they gradually move forward.

Later, only Jin Yuan remained in his chat history.

Jin Yuan seemed to never know how to get tired, and still followed his previous habit. Whenever he went, he would send his location to Xie Yuzhou's terminal, telling him that he had arrived safely.

Whenever something happened, he would briefly tell Xie Yuzhou about these things like chatting.

Xie Yuzhou noticed that there was a period of time in which he did not send messages to himself. This period was the fifth month after his accident until the second year.

Counting the days, that time seems to be the time when Jin Yuan gradually transformed into a dark sentinel.

Xie Yuzhou stared at the profile picture belonging to Jin Yuan on the terminal, holding the terminal in both hands, his brows could not help but wrinkle more and more tightly.

That period of time should have been the most painful day for Jin Yuan. The power of the Dark Sentinel was not so easy to control. His body and spirit should have endured a huge load, and what made people more concerned was the spiritual link on his body. It has not been erased from the beginning to the end. When I first got used to this thing, it should be the most unbearable time.

But at that moment, he kept silent.

Knowing that he couldn't see those terminal messages, he still refused to confide the pain to him.

How did Jin Yuan live all these years?

Xie Yuzhou found that he never seemed to have a good understanding of these things, and all his understanding of these things was actually just his one-sided rhetoric.

Xie Yuzhou's eyes softened, and he turned the terminal conversation with Jin Yuan to the front.

In star calendar 7326, Xie Yuzhou's first message to Jin Yuan was to tell him to get along with his classmates after he went to Sentinel Academy, and to send him a message when he arrived.

And Jin Yuan was not very good at typing at that time, he just used the terminal, and sent him a smiling and nodding emoji very unfamiliarly.

Xie Yuzhou looked at the picture full of vitality, and then thought about Jin Yuan's mature and cold appearance now, he couldn't help but feel that it was both funny and helpless.

He continued to scroll down, from the beginning to the bottom, and saw the message Jin Yuan sent him after his accident.

At that time, Jin Yuan should still be at Capital Star’s home. He probably saw something on the news, or heard someone’s news, so he started to frantically send him messages on the terminal. At first, he dialed countless times. Communication, but Xie Yuzhou not only had an accident, but the terminal was also damaged in the battle, so of course no one answered the communication.

Then there is Jin Yuan

He kept looking for him on the terminal, calling his name, there were hundreds of messages. Even after such a long time, Xie Yuzhou seemed to be able to feel his helplessness and hecticness at that time.

Of course, Xie Yuzhou had no way to respond to him. According to the situation at the time, his consciousness should have dissipated, and he should be defined as "dead" in the traditional sense.

After that, Jin Yuan's messages were cut off. For a few days, Jin Yuan didn't send him any more messages. Xie Yuzhou guessed that his "body" had been sent back to Capital Star, so Jin Yuan knew about it. Facts, of course, there is no need to send a message to verify.

A few days later, Jin Yuan sent the sentence again.

-Actually, you are still here, right?

Xie Yuzhou's finger that slid the message stopped here.

He couldn't help but think, under what circumstances did Jin Yuan send such a message to his unused terminal account?

What kind of mood did he have when he sent such a sentence to him?

Staring at the message for a long time, Xie Yuzhou stroked Jin Yuan's profile picture on the screen with his finger, then entered a word in the chat box and pressed the send button.

"Ah."

He didn't think that he was using the previous account now, and what was the point of him sending out this answer suddenly, but when he came back to his senses, he had already sent this message.

It was too late for Xie Yuzhou to withdraw, he could only look at the message he sent on the screen and laughed helplessly.

Why did I seem to be affected a little emotionally.

And when he was staring at the screen without moving, Jin Yuan on the opposite side didn't know whether he happened to see the news or stayed in front of the terminal all the time, but within two seconds, his reply had already been sent: "This is in Reply to the message just now?"

He seemed to realize that Xie Yuzhou was using the previous account, so he asked again, "Why did you suddenly remember to use this account?"

Xie Yuzhou responded immediately: "It's nothing, go to bed early."

There was silence for a while, and then sent another emoji to let Xie Yuzhou take a good rest.

Xie Yuzhou looked at the big white wolf who was forced to wear a red hat and scarf this time, and laughed hard in his heart. He didn't know how many black history emoticons this guy took for him by grabbing his mental body.

It was already very late at night, but Xie Yuzhou still didn't feel sleepy. He was bored and continued to read the messages sent by Jin Yuan before. From nine years ago until now, there are thousands of messages. Although most of them are itineraries, but occasionally There will be emotional changes and confides.

In the eyes of everyone, Jin Yuan played the role of the indifferent demon king, and those emotions seemed to be hidden here, hidden in his confession to Xie Yuzhou.

Looking at these chat records, Xie Yuzhou sometimes found it interesting, and sometimes felt helpless and sour. He simply got up from the bed, played Yaoxi's songs casually, put on clothes and stood by the window, and slowly read.

·

The next day, Xie Can knocked on Xie Yuzhou's door very early.

Xie Yuzhou got up rubbing his disheveled hair, and only after opening the door did he see the artificial intelligence Yaoxi following behind Xie Can.

If I remember correctly, the time for the virtual concert should be at night.

Xie Yuzhou looked at Xie Can at the door, and at Yaoxi who was standing behind Xie Can and was waving to him. Xie Yuzhou asked, "What's the matter? Do you want to start making preparations so early?"

Xie Can seemed to have guessed that he was not ready, and turned slightly to let Yaoxi pass the things in his hands to Xie Yuzhou, and then said: "I don't know you well enough, if no one calls you , you can sleep until noon, change your clothes quickly, we have to go to the concert venue in advance, it will be too noticeable to wait until it is about to start."

After hearing Xie Can's words, Xie Yuzhou nodded and yawned again, then turned around and began to change clothes.

Xie Can was about to close the door again, when she turned around, she heard Xie Yuzhou singing from inside the room, and couldn't help asking, "Are you listening to Yaoxi's song?"

Yaoxi also said happily: "It's the song "Light", you like it too, right?"

"Well." Xie Yuzhou was still bowing his head and tossing his clothes, and said without turning around: "It's quite nice."

Xie Can's face was full of seriousness, and he was a little proud: "Of course, this is the federal award-winning song that year."

He then urged Xie Yuzhou again, Xie Yuzhou responded lazily, and quickly closed the door to avoid being rejected by his brother again.

Then he couldn't help but slander in his heart. Sure enough, he was a good brother in Xie Can's heart when we didn't meet each other. Even when he made a virtual idol in his image, he was the most perfect. At that time, Xie Can was also very nervous, afraid that he would disappear again.

Now that Xie Yuzhou agreed to come back with Xie Can, and finally moved into the house again, Xie Can finally recalled Xie Yuzhou's bad habits and stupid things, and began to dislike him slowly.

Xie Yuzhou changed his clothes and opened the door again. Xie Can outside was also ready, nodded and took him on the aircraft to the venue.

In Xie Yuzhou's view, he was just temporarily disguised as the virtual idol Yaoxi to see his old rival whom he hadn't seen for a long time. At this time, he didn't expect how lively things would become afterwards.
