Survival [End Times]

Two figures walked slowly down the mountain. The reed eagle grabbed the deep sea shark pearl and flew in front to illuminate the mountain road, its wings fluttering. It could have turned into a human long ago, but it was unwilling to stay in the world of immortality and insisted on following Yu Heng to the small world of Lanhai. As a result, the rules of this world directly forced it back to its original shape. But it liked this place very much. It flew all over the world and played wildly all the time. It wasn't until its father and mother who had been feeding it became seriously ill that they came back to accompany it.

Ruiting used to be a little jealous of it, but later gradually fell in love with Lu Ying. Due to energy body management regulations, etc., it was not convenient for it to blatantly help the host. Therefore, when it saw that Lu Ying had helped the host a lot, it changed its attitude and became truly grateful to the other party.

However, Luying didn't know Ruiting's mental journey, and he didn't know the other party's existence. At this time, it was flying with the shark beads, looking back to see if its owner had followed, and then flying high, illuminating a large area of ​​land with the pearl light, and happily felt that it was brighter than the moon.

Stepping under the pearl light and moonlight, Yu Heng suddenly asked: "Jiujiu, is your number rt, which is the symbol number of the plane knowledge dissemination system? Are you number 9009? There are 9008 colleagues in front of you who are also equipped with this system. ?”

Ruiting stood still, and when Yu Heng saw this, he also stopped and looked at it questioningly.

Ruitin shook his head: "No, rt is the abbreviation of my name. I have a name, which was given to me by my first host." It looked at Yu Heng, as if looking at a beautiful and warm person it had been chasing for a long time. Dream, "Ruiting, my name is Ruiting."

Yu Heng only felt that the name was familiar, but he had an excellent memory and was sure that he had never heard of this name before, nor had he met anyone with this name. He smiled and said, "That's a really nice name."

"I like this name very much too."

The two people, one virtual and the other real, continued to walk down. The reed eagle flew down and stopped on Yu Heng's shoulder, and the shark beads rolled down into Yu Heng's arms. Yu Heng smiled: "Tired from flying?" Lu Ying rubbed his cheek coquettishly. Yu Heng then took out a net bag to hold the shark beads, and then hung the net bag around Lu Ying's neck.

"Let's go."

Yu Heng arranged everything before leaving Lan Hai's small world. Cui Nan said he would watch and let Yu Heng fly with peace of mind. Yu Heng was also worried about his cultivation, but Cui Nan said that his state of mind had improved greatly during the hundreds of years here. "Didn't you tell me before that state of mind is very important? I plan to live here for a few hundred more years, and then go to the world of immortality after my Taoist heart is more stable."

"That's fine." Yu Heng left most of his savings to Cui Nan. These things are useful in the world of immortality, but not in the world of immortality. He also told Cui Nan to check the teleportation array from time to time. Don't wait until there is an error in the teleportation array when it's time to leave the boundary. That would be a big mistake and you would most likely be trapped here.

Cui Nan smiled: "Don't worry."

"There is also the Penglai Immortal Tree. I need you to look at it." Yu Heng led Cui Nan to the mountain where the Penglai Immortal Tree was planted. Mu's enchantment authority is open to him. "There are some of those monks who are not very amenable to discipline. I plan to take them with me when I leave this time. The rest can only be controlled by you. The small world of Lanhai is not a place for monks to dominate and dominate."

Cui Nan also responded one by one. After the two handed over the work, they finally got together for a farewell party.

"I wish you a smooth ascension and may you live for thousands of years." Cui Nan toasted.

Yu Heng raised his glass and responded: "I'll wait for you in the fairy world."

The wine glasses clinked together, and the wine brewed twenty years ago created purple-red ripples in the glasses.

Before leaving this world, Yu Heng went to the deep sea to take out a box. Inside the box were the fragments of the space monster he had obtained previously. After placing it in a special magic circle for thousands of years, the fragment has become the size of a dongzhu. Yu Heng looked at the East Pearl and felt that it contained extremely terrifying space power. He used a secret method to fuse the East Pearl with the energy of the Yin and Yang Mirror that he had dismantled, and set up a large barrier outside the small world of Lan Hai. , this barrier is not only a protective layer, preventing the small world from being swallowed up by other high-level planes again, but also a layer of blindness, blocking the sight of some high-level planes.

He hopes that the small world of Lanhai can develop steadily for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, and that even if it never evolves into a more advanced world, it can still be peaceful and stable.

*****

It wasn't until much later that Yu Heng accidentally learned that he was the one who named Ruiting. At that time, Ruiting's energy body was damaged while protecting him during a thrilling mission. When he reported it to the company and waited for the programmers to transport them out of the mission world, Ruitin's collapsed energy body kept turbulent in his mind. When the host and the system enter the mission world, the system's energy body is attached to the head of the host's soul body, which allows them to communicate secretly anytime and anywhere without being noticed by others. At the same time, it also facilitates the system to monitor the host's behavior. If any illegal operation is found, penalties can be imposed immediately.

Even if a person dies, the head is the key location of the soul.

Therefore, Yu Heng immediately felt when Ruiting's energy body collapsed, and at the same time he saw many pictures - those were Ruitin's memory pictures. Those memory scenes were running rampant in his mind. Yu Heng didn't want to peek into Ruiting's privacy, but he couldn't stabilize Ruiting's energy body. Those memories were running around in his soul body, and he could "see" them even if he didn't want to see them.

Only then did he discover the fate between the two.

He thought of the countless years he spent with Ruiting.

Energy bodies have no emotions when they leave the factory. They need to slowly learn joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness over endless time, and slowly become more like a person. This is the regulation of the energy body management regulations. The law does not allow the direct creation of humans, but allows energy bodies to evolve on their own. After entering the company, Yu Heng found that there were very few energy bodies like Ruiting. Most energy bodies were stereotyped and could not communicate normally like humans.

But Ruiting was not like that. Yu Heng was sure that when he met Ruiting, the other party's performance was no different from that of a human. He would see his sadness and sorrow, and would encourage and comfort him. It was a bit stiff at first, but later Yu Heng could no longer feel the stiffness. At that time, he thought it was because the two had been partners for a long time and the unfamiliarity disappeared, and they became more familiar and close.

After arriving at the company, he realized how precious and rare energy bodies like Ruiting were. Ruiting had a high status in the company. Yu Heng had seen its body once, and the surging energy fluctuations made him a little frightened. At that time, Ruiting said that it was because it had done too many tasks and honed itself in the constant shuttling. However, Ruiting said that the reason why it is high-level is not only because its energy body is very advanced, but also because it has awakened human consciousness and has essentially gone beyond the scope of ordinary energy bodies.

How could such a powerful energy body become his system by chance?

He has always been grateful to Ruiting. At first, he was grateful for the other party's favor and binding him, allowing him to grow continuously with the help of the plane knowledge dissemination system and protect his family. Later, he was grateful for the other party's company.

Ruiting did not talk to him all the time. It would be very considerate and take the initiative to help him when it needed help, and carefully comfort him when it was depressed.

Such a long time.

Yu Heng had long regarded Ruiting as his family, and after his parents passed away, he was his most important relative. The two of them actually had such a fate. I don’t know why Yu Heng suddenly remembered what Rui had heard, that its name was given to it by the first host.

So they knew each other for a long time?

After receiving his help message, the main system quickly took Ruiting back for repair. Yu Heng did not want to give up the task, so he still stayed in the task world and struggled to support it. This world is the most difficult one he has encountered since he started the mission. Without Ruiting's assistance, the difficulty has risen sharply. After holding on for a long time, Ruiting was able to repair himself and come again.

After barely completing the mission, Yu Heng returned to the company to report, and then went to the dormitory. Although Ruiting said that he could live with it, the human body it bought was in the shape of a girl. What's more amazing is that the body can grow magically. Now it looks like a young woman. In order to avoid suspicion, Yu Heng was unwilling to live with it, so he chose a dormitory by himself, and Ruiting re-applied for the dormitory next to him in order to be closer to him.

Now Yu Heng has adapted to the life in this world. This world is very magical. It seems that it has developed to a certain extent that even death is not a scary thing. Even if you want to die, you can't die. There are all kinds of artificial organs and artificial limbs. If it really can't be repaired or replaced, you can buy a brand new body. Some people like to live in the form of soul bodies and float in the sky every day. Therefore, they have developed exclusive channels for energy bodies, which are very standardized and not afraid of collisions.

He also bought a body, an ordinary young man. After opening the door, Ruiting followed him in, sat on the sofa and turned on the TV. The popular program now is a competition reality show. Yu Heng also likes to watch it. He always feels that he can learn a lot of new things.

The two enjoyed their vacation time, and Yu Heng asked Ruiting about the memory he "saw" before.

Ruiting was stunned for a moment: "You know..." It scratched its head and nodded, "Yes." Seeing Yu Heng's interest, it suggested, "Do you want to see my memory? The host who has maintained a record of winning and losing is you."

Yu Heng was really interested in what his so-called previous life was like. He watched the life of "Xu Ruihe" and it was quite similar to his experience. Xu Ruihe did countless tasks, but he finished it in a blink of an eye.

After watching it, he looked at Ruiting with a subtle look. This... the self in the previous life... seemed to like Ruiting?

No, not.

Yu Heng denied it again. It was not that kind of love. He could understand Xu Ruihe's feelings for Ruiting. The person who had been with him for so many years, his only partner, and the secrets they shared were all inseparable parts of his life.

Xu Ruihe's background was very different from his, and his personality was even more different.

Ruiting at that time was just an energy body that had just left the factory and was working for the first time. He didn't understand what long-term companionship meant to Xu Ruihe, so Xu Ruihe, who didn't get any emotional response, had no interest in life. After completing the mission and the death of his only relative in the real world, he refused the company's recruitment and went to reincarnate.

"Host, what are you thinking about?" Ruiting was a little uneasy, looking at Yu Heng, "I didn't take you as a substitute or anything, because you are you, don't be jealous."

Yu Heng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. What kind of brain circuit was this, and he was still jealous? However, Ruiting's logical thinking has been improving, and he can tolerate his slightly biased views.

"Don't worry, I don't think so."

"Will you hate me after you finish reading this?" Ruiting twisted his fingers, "You wanted to be friends with me at that time, but I didn't understand. If I had understood it earlier, it would have been better." I wouldn't have missed it for so long.

"Why do I hate you?" Yu Heng shook his head, "You have been with me all the time. No matter if it's him or me, we are not alone because of you. I am very grateful to you."

Yu Heng touched its hair: "We are partners."

Rui Ting smiled and nodded heavily: "Yeah!"

Love, family and friendship, Yu Heng didn't know how to describe the relationship between himself and Rui Ting. There are also several pairs of lovers who are paired with systems and hosts in the company. It is very normal to have feelings for each other after working together. His mood is calm and he has not been in the mood for love over the years. Some energy bodies that have been transformed from human souls in the company want to pursue him, but he rejected them all. Every time someone confessed to him, Rui Ting felt a little depressed and unhappy.

But is Rui Ting's love for him? No, it's not, it hasn't learned these yet.

It's just a fledgling complex, just an inertial desire for exclusivity.

You and me, it's enough for the two of us to accompany each other, why do we need others?

Maybe one day in the future, the relationship between them will change, but the affection in those years of support will not fade.

We have always been together, you accompany me and I accompany you, and that's enough.
