Chapter 9, Sand Gems

It is not that Bei Qiao has never met "death" head-on.

When he was still living in the real world, he passed by the spacious road countless times, and the story of brushing shoulders with death was staged on this road every day.He has seen people lying bloody in the middle of the road, the perpetrators escaped, the ambulance is still on the way, and the seriously injured people can no longer move.Crimson soaked the asphalt road, some people watched, and some people walked past indifferently.

He is one of the passers-by, and he may say "really pitiful" in his heart, and the sad mood will disappear soon after the school starts.

In a comfortable and peaceful social environment, people's attitude towards "death" is still the same, let alone the end of the world when resources are so tight?

But for some reason, the words that Luo Shang'an said to him a few minutes ago came to Bei Qiao's mind.

——"Don't you care about the life and death of 'data'?"

Don't care?

Bei Qiao looked away from the front, and his mind was full of Watson standing in the cabin sweating.

He bit his lip, raised his hand to touch his earphones, froze for a moment, then gently put down his hand.

He walked towards Su Qi and Luo Shang'an.

The communicator next to Watson made a "hissing" electric sound, and a man's voice kept coming out of it.

"Watson? Watson, are you still listening? I've returned to the base."

"What was that sound just now? What happened?"

"Watson?"

Bei Qiao saw Su Qi pick up the communicator and put it to her lips, and said something in a low voice.No more voices came from the communicator.

He felt that he should say something to comfort Su Qi, but no matter what he said at the moment, it seemed hypocritical.

"Boss Luo, can I ask you something?" Su Qi turned around, raised her head slightly and said to Luo Shang'an, "I want to ask you to help me send Watson back to the base. I can't do it alone Take him back."

Luo Shangan directly bent his fingers and put them to his lips, and a whistle sounded, and the fiery red silk thread came out of his pocket, twisted into a ball, exploded in the air, and turned into a bird's torso and wings.

He stretched out his hand to Su Qi, "We're leaving now."

Ten minutes later, they arrived at the base of the business group in the third southern district.

Su Qi thanked Luo Shang'an, and returned to the base with Watson's body.The base's immediate reaction to the death of the companion was to close the external passages and take away all the relief supplies prepared for the refugees.

Calm and angry.

This was the emotion Bei Qiao read from the faces of everyone in the business group.

They accept the death of their companions, but it doesn't mean they will endure this murder.Their revenge is not aimed at individuals, but backlashes at the entire refugee group.

The business group prepared a generous reward for Bei Qiao, thanking him for helping them rescue many missing companions.Although some people have not returned to the base smoothly, the base has contacted them all and sent a rescue team to meet them.

"Congratulations, you have successfully fixed BUGs: 5! Cumulatively fixed BUGs: 50! Reaching 50 phased results, a special reward for unlocking all hidden source codes in the Southern District!"

The blue light curtain jumped out untimely, which meant that Bei Qiao eliminated a total of five white areas and saved at least five people.

Bei Qiao stared at the number, and after a while, he turned off the screen.

It was late at night, so Bei Qiao temporarily stayed at the business group base for one night, and then set off for South Fourth District the next day.What he didn't expect was that Luo Shang'an, who owns the "Suzaku", also lived there—with Suzaku's ability, it wouldn't take long to bring Luo Shang'an back to his home in South Second District.

There is a long corridor more than ten meters long between the base and the guest room. The moonlight reflects on the marble floor through the floor-to-ceiling windows, reflecting a piece of white light.

The rooms of Bei Qiao and Luo Shang'an were arranged very close together, so they walked together all the way.When he reached the middle of the corridor, Bei Qiao noticed that Luo Shang'an had stopped.

He looked at Luo Shang'an.

"Little Qiao is really a person who strictly abides by the rules of the game." Luo Shangan straightened his sleeves and said unhurriedly, "Even if I feel uncomfortable, I will not go beyond the rules and do my own things."

This sentence is actually very harsh. If it had been said from someone else, Bei Qiao might have turned around and left long ago.But the person in front of him is Luo Shang'an. If you don't listen patiently to him, maybe he still has some tricks to deal with him.

So Bei Qiao pretended to be listening.

Luo Shangan looked up at him, "Tell me, if Su Qi and the others know that you can pull Watson back from the other end of the death line as long as you move your fingers, what will they do?"

"I won't save him. The basic data cannot be modified casually. His death was not caused by a bug. I have no right to hinder the normal life and death in this world." Bei Qiao said, "It's useless to ask anyone."

"Oh, it's still 'data' after all." Luo Shang'an continued, "Since it's 'data', why are you struggling?"

Bei Qiao was taken aback.

Luo Shangan noticed that he hesitated!He just touched the earphone case!

Obviously this guy was standing beside Su Qi at that time, how could he pay attention to his movements?The little wavering and self-blame in his heart hadn't grown and spread before Luo Shang'an discovered and grabbed him.

The moonlight slanted down, half of Luo Shang'an's face was covered in white haze, and half of his face was hidden in shadows.

"You're right." Luo Shangan's voice dropped a little, "If you save Watson, your existence will be even more deified. Think about it carefully, what will happen then? Maybe at the beginning, this group of people People will respect you, love you, adore you, and as your mystique gradually decreases, they will seek out more good things about you."

"You are like a gem exposed on the sand. No matter how powerful you are and how careful you are, you are no match for so many pairs of eyes. You will be monopolized, used, imprisoned, and excavated until you give unreservedly. All the energy—don’t think that anyone will pity you, in the face of huge interests, the vague definition of good and evil can be erased.”

Luo Shangan's voice was soft and deep.

"Until you... are slowly swallowed up."

The air froze for a moment.

"What about you, Boss Luo?" The moonlight shone into Bei Qiao's sky-blue pupils, his face was calm, and his gaze fell steadily on Luo Shang'an's face. "As the person who knows my details best in this world, what am I in your eyes?"

……

The next day, Bei Qiao woke up and saw the mahjong tiles on the bed.

He leaned against the head of the bed, picked up the mahjong tiles and held them in his hand.

Last night, Luo Shang'an did not answer his question directly, but raised his hand to smooth his bangs.This slightly out-of-bounds action caught Bei Qiao a little off guard.He dodged Luo Shangan's hand and saw Luo Shangan smiling.

"In my eyes, of course you are Bei Qiao."

Bei Qiao stroked the texture of Yaoji with her fingers, and the red marks on the jade plaque were bright.

Before they went back to their rooms to rest, Luo Shangan threw the mahjong tile to him, saying that he would lend him Suzaku for the time being, and return it when he went to the South District.

This person said that he would not let him go, but he always took a step back at every critical moment, and a few light and clever words wiped away the guilt in his heart.It's obviously a good intention, why do you always express it in this way?

Bei Qiao held the mahjong tiles to her lips and put them close to her lips. The cold touch penetrated the skin and reached the bottom of her heart.

Is Luo Shang'an paying so much attention to his every move just because he is the one who controls the lifeblood of the world?

wrong.

Luoyun smashed Luo Shangan's shop, and when the boss threw the pot in his face, he hadn't revealed his identity yet.

Bei Qiao half-closed his eyes in confusion.

That is... Luo Shangan was interested in him the first time he saw him.

Why?I don't have more noses and fewer hands than normal people, so why is Luo Shang'an staring at me?
