The blood-stained emperor stood up from the dragon chair. Contrary to his weak appearance just now, he pinched Qin Rui's neck and lifted him up.

Previously, he was either sitting or stooped, and his whole body only looked thin and thin.But standing up straight now, Qin Chu realized that the man in the dragon robe was extremely tall, even taller than the current Qin Rui.

"It's you……"

The young man who was holding his throat struggled to squeeze out two words. He narrowed his dark eyes slightly and looked at the emperor, his eyes bursting with strong guard.

The man in the dragon robe also looked at him.The looks and eyes of these two people are very similar, exactly the same, and they seem to be the same person in a trance.

"Remember?" The emperor casually hooked the corners of his lips.

Qin Rui's face instantly sank and became extremely ugly.

"Qin Rui!"

Qin Chu's call and hurried footsteps came from behind him, and Qin Rui, who was having difficulty breathing, was taken aback for a moment. Even though he was in a dangerous situation, he was considered calm, and his face suddenly showed a trace of struggle and unwillingness: "You are not allowed to hurt Him! Why? Why do you..."

The man in the dragon robe drooped his eyes and sighed out a sentence: "You have lived long enough."

As he spoke, he pressed his fingers hard, and there was a very clear sound in the silent hall, it was the sound of the throat bone being crushed.

As Qin Chu stepped onto the last step, the young man's body fell down with a muffled sound.

The footsteps stopped.

The high platform was filled with Qin Chu's rapid panting.

Again and again, the hammer hits the human heart.

Seeing Qin Rui lying limp at his feet, at this moment, Qin Chu was almost at a loss.

How long has it been since Qin Rui left his side?

Just outside the hall, this young man who was almost taller than him smiled and came over to make fun of him.

A moment ago, the boy was blinking those charming peach eyes, and said softly to him: "Don't worry."

Qin Chu and Qin Rui had been together for five years.

For five full years, they got along day and night.

But now, in the blink of an eye, such a lively, mischievous young man who often irritated Qin Chu fell to the ground lifelessly.

At this moment, Qin Chu couldn't help looking forward to it, looking forward to how Qin Rui would suddenly get up from the ground like every time he teased him before, make a face at him, and then said with a smile, "Are you scared by me?"

But Qin Rui didn't.

Qin Chu stared at Qin Rui without blinking, without paying any attention to others.

As if waking up from a big dream, he quickly knelt down and lifted Qin Rui's body to make him lie flat.All the first aid knowledge he had learned before appeared in Qin Chu's mind.

While subconsciously calling Noah, he found the right position to perform chest compressions on the person lying on the ground.

Again and again, Qin Chu silently counted the numbers, but Qin Rui didn't respond at all.

No heartbeat, no pulse...

Qin Chu didn't know that he should give up at all.

Until... when he lifted the boy's chin, he touched the broken throat.

The illusion of self-deception was suddenly punctured.

Qin Chu supported Qin Rui's shoulders, closed his eyes forcefully, and finally showed a trace of obvious pain on his face.

The person who killed Qin Rui, or Qin Rui himself, sat on the cold dragon chair, with Qin Chu's long sword inserted into the back of the dragon chair on his cheek.

He didn't make a sound, didn't move, and didn't dodge the sword's edge that was almost touching his skin, but just looked at Qin Chu quietly.

Watching Qin Chu deceiving himself to save that body, watching him withdraw his fingers shyly, watching him close his eyes to cover the pain gushing out from his eyes.

All of these were things that he couldn't have in the past.

Finally, as if he couldn't bear it anymore, the man opened his mouth, and he was about to call out a familiar name out of habit, but he forcibly held back the moment the syllable came out.

Qin Rui is him, he is Qin Rui, but not quite.

But these small sounds attracted Qin Chu's attention.

He suddenly turned his head to look at the dragon chair, and in the next second he was already pulling the man up by his collar.

"Are you finished? You like to make trouble for me so much? Then why don't you come after me." Qin Chu's voice was hoarse.

After all the calculations, he was the only one who didn't guard against this lingering sick emperor whose body was occupied by Noah.

"Do you find it interesting? Why don't you come and kill me!"

Qin Chu's fingers also pinched the man's neck, just like he pinched Qin Rui just now.

But the man didn't struggle, resist, and uncharacteristically didn't even provoke.He just stared at Qin Chu greedily, raised his hand and stroked Qin Chu's red eye sockets with his fingers.

"You feel bad."

"You killed him!"

Qin Chu almost growled these words. He tightened his fingers, and there was already a slight sound of the trachea deforming from his fingertips.

"Yes."

The man confessed.

He looked at Qin Chu, twitched the corner of his mouth, and showed a self-deprecating smile: "So, do you want him to die again?"

Qin Chu loosened his fingers suddenly.

There was no shock, no rebuttal, he just looked away angrily.

It's not that some things can't be guessed, it's not that there are no traces, it may just be that the people who are most involved are unwilling to believe that's all.

The man covered his neck and coughed lightly.

Coughing and coughing, he laughed softly, and he said, "You said, if he had a choice, would he choose to die, or continue to stay by your side as Qin Rui?"

Qin Chu turned around indifferently, apparently not wanting to hear anything related to Qin Rui from him.

But his wrist bones were clasped by the man with great force.

"let go."

Qin Chu shook his hand violently, and the man didn't let go at all. The next moment, he stood up and approached Qin Chu.

"He wants to be Qin Rui, but he doesn't want to be Qin Rui. Qin Rui is just your younger brother, but I'm not."

The man gave his answer, as if to prove his words, a cool touch touched Qin Chu's lips.

"Bang" sound.

The emperor was firmly pushed back on the dragon chair.

Qin Chu pinched his neck again, gritted his teeth and said sharply, "Don't mention him!"

The man has recovered his composure.

He looked at the enraged Qin Chu, and stretched out his hand to stroke his hanging long hair.The frivolous movements were put away, not like provocation, but more like appeasement.

After a long silence, he finally said: "Killing me will cause trouble for you. The eldest prince is already dead, if you can't return to the border, is that okay?

This sentence revealed many things, but Qin Chu didn't explore it at all.

He withdrew indifferently and left, ignoring the long sword piercing into the dragon chair, but bent down and picked up Qin Rui who was lying on the ground, walked down the high platform step by step, and walked towards the outside of the hall.

"Wait for me to kill you." The extremely cold voice came, like a unilateral agreement.

The emperor's new general did not stay in the imperial city for too long, and soon led his troops to the northwest.

For this expedition, the emperor dragged his sick body to see him off in person, but the general didn't appreciate it at all, and directly led the army out of the camp. The emperor led all the officials and stood on the city wall for a day.

When he went to court the next day, several officials impeached Qin Chu because of this incident, reprimanding him for not observing the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers, his meritorious deeds shocked the lord, and he used military force.

But the weak emperor suppressed the people one by one.Some people refused to give up and participated in the performance one after another, but he directly dragged them out of the hall and asked to beheaded.

The smell of blood came, and no one dared to mention Qin Chu's fault.

No one knows when this military general who stayed at the border all year round got the favor of the emperor.

It was rumored that before Qin Chu left the city, he was called into the palace, but when he came out, he was holding a dead body, full of murderous intent.

What did the General Qin talk to and do with the emperor that day has always been a puzzle in the minds of the courtiers and palace people.

In the next few years, the emperor, who had been lingering on the sick bed, seemed to improve suddenly, and began to take charge of the government.He is not considered a wise gentleman, and he doesn't care much about other state affairs, but he is very concerned about the border wars, and he can't wait to supervise the monthly military pay and food.

Once an official who was transshipping grain and grass was found to be corrupt, the emperor was furious, and directly sent someone to arrest the official in Lingchi, a busy city, and imprisoned the whole family.

As the emperor's deeds spread, although Qin Chu was not in the imperial city, his reputation spread, and he became the "unspeakable" among the nobles of the imperial city.

Qin Chu continued his second mission at the border.

Qin Rui died, and the first mission failed completely.The only thing that can be called good news is that Noah is back.

When Qin Chu left the palace with Qin Rui in his arms, Noah came back, but it showed that the system was being repaired, and he never appeared.

It took a long time before Noah spoke in Qin Chu's mind as usual.

"Sir... I was wrong." Noah said the first sentence timidly.

"Ah."

At the time of the truce, Qin Chu rested in the military tent.

He didn't reprimand Noah, and didn't say anything extra.

During this time, although life was the same as usual, Qin Chu was very lonely.

There was no Noah talking nonsense from time to time in his mind, and no one followed him and called him brother one by one.

Qin Chu never thought that Qin Rui's departure would affect him so much.

At the beginning, he almost forgot the daily meal time, and it was only when people around him reminded him that he noticed that someone had come to the kitchen to deliver the meal.

Getting his hair tied has become a terrible thing for him again. Every time he gets his hair tied, in addition to his irritability, there is also an indescribable sense of lack.

The boy who swore that Qin Chu's hair belonged to him is gone.

After hesitating again and again, Qin Chu cut his hair short. It wasn't so short, but it just made him less embarrassed when he tied his hair.

And night.

Qin Chu didn't sleep soundly, and he always felt that a child would touch him in the middle of the night and nestle quietly into his arms.He subconsciously stretched out his arm, but found nothing.

"Sir, the emperor...is actually a player." Even though he noticed that Qin Chu's mood plummeted when he heard this name, Noah still reported the situation as usual, "He should be the last piece of consciousness of the task target, and also the main body."

"You said before that there is a sense of peeping like a shadow. Your intuition is not wrong. At first I thought you were talking about Qin Rui, but it was not until I was arrested."

Speaking of this, Noah was also very surprised, "The reason why we exposed a lot of information, did we notice him, because he is in another world, and is the owner and main designer of this game."

This surprised Qin Chu a little.

He said: "Our mission in this world has been exposed. He knows that I have two missions to complete."

So after killing Qin Rui, remind him to leave.

"Yes, I was forcibly analyzed." Noah wanted to cry bitterly.

He was having fun in the emperor's mind, but he was suddenly locked and attacked by various programs.At first he thought he was discovered by the mastermind, but after checking the level of the attack, he was relieved.

He quickly added: "They can't break through my firewall. The information about the mission is not actually analyzed by the program. It was tricked out by him when I coexisted with his consciousness."

Qin Chu didn't care too much: "It's okay, I know you're trash."

In fact, Noah has been trapped in the emperor's mind, staying in the same space with their magical mission object.

Later, he came back only through the kiss between the emperor and Qin Chu.

When they were in the same space, it was somewhat similar to his relationship with Qin Chu.

He can feel everything through the emperor's five senses, but he can't manipulate his body.So he witnessed Qin Chu's pain when Qin Rui died, and he could also feel the complicated emotions of the emperor at that time.

Knowing that Qin Chu has been brooding over Qin Rui's death, Noah couldn't help comforting him: "Sir...Actually, when Qin Rui died, I noticed that his consciousness returned to his body. And...if I didn't make a mistake in judging , Ontology has been able to unilaterally read Qin Rui's emotions and memories. So..."

So no one can tell whether the current emperor is Qin Rui or not.

"I know."

At dawn, Qin Chu sat up from the bed and tidied up briefly.

He opened the window and looked out at the brightly lit sky and the unique scenery of the northwest desert.

"I just feel sorry." Qin Chu said.

Noah couldn't help raising his ears to listen.

Although he has been repairing it during this time, he can still perceive various things around Qin Chu and Qin Chu's emotions.

After returning from the imperial city, Qin Chu hardly mentioned Qin Rui, and even seldom thought about it. This was the first time he heard Qin Chu really talk about his feelings.

"When he was ten years old, he promised me that he would live a good life." Qin Chu took his sword and got up to go to the school grounds. Before he got out of the tent, he turned around and subconsciously wanted to call someone, but suddenly stopped talking.

On the way, he said to Noah in a flat voice: "When he returned to the imperial city from the border, he said that he was thinking about the future. He also said...he wanted to be a general."

Speaking of this, Qin Chu paused before continuing to walk forward: "Unfortunately, he is only 15 years old. He could have a bright life, no different from a normal person."

Noah listened quietly, without any further comfort.

He knew that Qin Chu understood everything and would put the overall situation first.

It's just that Qin Rui broke into his life with an attitude that he couldn't guard against and couldn't refuse, stayed for several years, and just happened to fill the vacancy in Qin Chu's life, so Qin Chu really took his heart.

But... If Qin Rui didn't die suddenly in such a way, if Qin Rui was just a pure data body, even if Qin Chu left the world normally, he wouldn't have much nostalgia.

But it's not that simple.

Qin Rui is not a data body that only exists in the virtual world, he is a part of a person's consciousness, a living person.

Then what Qin Rui left in Qin Chu's heart was no longer an experience limited to the virtual world.

Noah had coexisted with the consciousness of His Highness the Crown Prince for a period of time, and he knew very well that person's complex feelings towards Qin Chu.

Paranoid, Possessive, Destroyed, Close, Loved, Ingratiated...

The coexistence of several completely different and even extremely opposite emotions almost made Noah, a pure artificial intelligence, feel dumbfounded.

That was the most complex and concentrated emotion Noah had ever been exposed to.

Thinking of this, Noah even felt that His Royal Highness did it on purpose.

He took care of everything, and was unwilling to let Qin Rui's memories disappear with Qin Chu leaving this world, so he simply killed him right in front of Qin Chu's eyes.

Whether it's hatred or sadness, he wants Qin Chu to remember him forever.

After a while, Noah passed another message to Qin Chu.

In another world, this popular holographic game was suddenly taken off the shelves when it was the hottest moment, and the game official closed all player entrances.

This kind of action of leaving money without making money is very incomprehensible, and it aroused criticism for a while.

In only one ward, there is also a machine that can connect to the game.

There are several monitors on the wall of the ward, but the scenes shown are all the same. They are all scenes from the Northwest War Zone, some are kitchens, some are school grounds, and some are tents that are not often visited by people.

These scenes are played in turn, as if someone used this to participate in their own life.

In front of the hospital bed, a middle-aged doctor in a white coat was earnestly pleading: "Sir, your current physical and mental condition is no longer able to withstand the long-term holographic game cabin."

The man on the hospital bed hooked the corners of his mouth and didn't care at all.He said: "Anyway, if you don't play, you can't live for a few years."

After the doctor left, the man rolled from the hospital bed onto the wheelchair, then pushed the wheelchair to the front of the game cabin, and sat in it again.

in the palace.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"

The eunuch's shrill voice woke up the sleeping emperor.

The man froze for two seconds, then rubbed his eyebrows and sat up.

The doctor was right, his mental state could no longer bear this kind of immersion in consciousness.Normal people would wake up automatically after coming to the game, but he had to be woken up by someone.

That's why he had been leaving this shell alone before.

"How long have I been asleep?" he asked.

"Your Majesty, you took a nap for more than an hour." The eunuch returned.

He moved his hands and feet slightly on the bed, and then the man got out of the bed with his weak body.

The little eunuch hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you might as well listen to the imperial doctor and rest more."

The man ignored him at all. He got off the bed and asked first: "How is the battle in the northwest? Is there a letter from the general?"

Hearing this question, the little eunuch was a bit speechless, and he gently reminded: "Your Majesty, you just asked this question before going to bed, the battle situation cannot change in an hour..."

"Oh." The emperor replied, but he was still stubborn, "Then ask, is there a letter from the general?"

The little eunuch sighed: "Not yet, maybe...on the way."

Hearing this, the man in the dragon robe curled his lips into a smile, with a somewhat self-deprecating and nasty look on his sickly face.

He sighed: "You are so cruel. Before, you lied and said that you often corresponded with me, but now you don't even want to reply to my letters."

The little eunuch watched his nose, nose, and heart, only thinking that he was a deaf person.

Without asking others to help, the man put on his robe by himself and walked out.

The little eunuch hurried to help, but was swung away.

"Your Majesty, where are you going?"

"The Royal Study Room."

The little eunuch was puzzled: "Have you read all the excerpts?"

He added, "All the notes about the battle in the Northwest have been delivered to your bedroom."

The man in the dragon robe only threw out three words: "Write a will."

As soon as these words came out, the little eunuch's face became even more strange.

This is their Majesty's recent pleasure, apart from caring about the war situation in the Northwest, they are just spending time in the royal study writing wills.But I wrote a lot over and over again, but I was not satisfied once.

After grinding the ink, the man picked up the pen, but was in a daze.

He doesn't know how long he can live in this world.

The aftermath of the split consciousness was greater than he had imagined. Although he has recovered all the fragments of consciousness now and he is slowly recovering, he probably won't be able to stay in this world for long.

But he didn't know how long Qin Chu would stay.

At the beginning, he divided his consciousness, he just wanted to tease the person who chased him for several worlds on a whim.

But unexpectedly, he accidentally cut out a problem.

The First Prince is the consciousness of failure.

This fragment is very special, it only has his childhood memory in the real world, and there is no way to connect with other fragments.

In order to prevent this fragment from realizing that he is in a different dimension, he can only set up a similar background to confuse this fragment.

The First Prince represents his most vulnerable period.

He doesn't care about many things now, but he doesn't intend to let this fragment exist for too long, so he asked the other two fragments to encircle and suppress Qin Rui, and set the task of hunting down the eldest prince in the game.

But he didn't expect that when Qin Chu came to this world, the first thing he encountered was not other fragments he had set up, but the eldest prince he couldn't control.

The ink fell from the tip of the pen and blurred into a ball on the imperial decree.

After contemplating for a while, the emperor picked up a pen and wrote a word on the paper. The writing was very large, as if a free combination of four characters, separated too much.

After finishing writing, the emperor looked at the word and smiled: "It's so ugly."

When he first learned that Qin Chu had found the eldest prince and brought him with him, he felt very unhappy.

He didn't take the little secret about the eldest prince to heart, it didn't matter if others knew about it, but he just didn't want to be seen by Qin Chu.

What a shame to be so small and weak.

He did not expect that this fragment would have another life by Qin Chu's side.

He went from being disgusted at the beginning to being amazed, and then he would quietly watch Qin Chu interact with the First Prince, and watch that person who couldn't take care of children at all run around with a child from then on.

Qin Chu also named the eldest prince, Qin Rui.

What a name, he deserves to have it?

Soon he discovered that he could not manipulate Qin Rui, but he could fully accept Qin Rui's emotions and memories.

It's almost like a reverse manipulation.

The happiness, trust, and even happiness that Qin Rui could feel were all passed on to him without any mistakes.

It was something he had never felt in his childhood.

He didn't care about it for a long time, but now he was forced in with an irresistible gesture.

Due to the division of consciousness and Qin Rui's influence, for a long time, his memory was almost chaotic.

After a long time, he always felt that there really seemed to be Qin Chu in his memory, protecting him through the weakest and most difficult times.He will choose to starve himself so that he can fill his stomach, and he will worry about his sleep problem and find a way.

During that time, his emotions were also fragmented.

On the one hand, he wanted to put an end to this influence, frantically wanting to kill Qin Rui, or even Qin Chu; rain.

The two thoughts conflicted, and in the end he sealed off the area where Qin Chu and Qin Rui were located, so that even he himself could not enter.

He was totally hooked.

Like a lunatic, he paid close attention to Qin Chu and Qin Rui's daily life every day.Qin Rui seemed to be his trumpet, living a happy life in another time and space.

Sometimes, he even became jealous of Qin Rui.

Why did Qin Rui meet Qin Chu and be protected by Qin Chu to live like a human being, but in the real world he could only stumble through the most embarrassing life by himself, and finally became a bohemian monster.

He even wanted to snatch Qin Chu from Qin Rui, hide it by his side, and enjoy it all by himself.

So it was accidentally discovered that something was living in the emperor's body, so he mobilized his team to investigate.

He wanted to use that artificial intelligence to get more accurate news about Qin Chu. Although he had limited power in this world, if he really hit hard, that artificial intelligence would not go back intact.

However, when he finally wanted to do it, he relented.

He was reluctant because Qin Chu would be angry.
