moment.

The death countdown in front of Su Wen stopped counting:
at the same time.

One after another, frozen images quietly emerged like the curtain of a movie:
There is a shot of him leaning silently in the dark Bradley villa.

The sky was replaced by the picture of Claude Monet's "Sunrise at Dawn", instantly freezing the background of all the disasters in the world.

There are Broadway theaters.

The detective raised his coffee cup and elegantly saluted the performer on the stage who was about to perform the 'final scene'.

There was also a light snap of fingers.

Miss Caroline walked out of the burning Hearst Tower with light steps.

even.

There is also a scene of the three of them getting tipsy in the Ice Point Bar, with the dawn shining through the window.

At last.

He was leaning against a tree in the small orphanage, distributing white bread that he had bought in Pittsburgh early in the morning.

In front of him.

The group of children were queuing quietly and well-behaved.

There was a timid yet expectant look on their faces, but in the end, the hope brought by Christmas turned into happy smiles.

After completing the work of distributing bread.

Caroline sat beside him and asked lazily:

"Mr. Rhine, I always thought you didn't like so many strangers."

Hear her say that.

Su Wen nodded silently.

At that time, he silently looked at the sky in the distance where snowflakes were gradually falling, and slowly said:
“I really don’t like crowded places.

perhaps.

Compared to the false noise.

It is the real loneliness that will help me see more clearly the path I should take next.

Even so.

The biggest difference between me and the now-dead Grace.

Probably:
From a rational point of view, I still believe in the possibility of the existence of human civilization.

So I want to keep watching and observing the distance quietly.

I want to see a more distant future, a future that is not just mine.”

Hearing what he said, there seemed to be an indescribable glimmer in the eyes of the hacker lady:
“If it’s such a grand wish.

I really want to see if it can actually be realized.

correct.

Don't forget the conditions you invited me to help you with this time:
【Artificial Intelligence Database】

The fourth level I want to advance to is the rational side.

With just enough knowledge, I can offset the endless whispers.

Hah, by then, I can hack not only the FBI database in New York State, but also the Pentagon database."

"If you get caught, remember not to give out my name."

Su Wen humorously opened the Christmas gifts given to him by the children.

In it.

It contains a whole bottle of hand-folded "wishing stars".

Although Su Wen doesn't like taking care of children very much.

But in this case.

It was hard for him to deny.

The possibility of human civilization probably originated from those pure dreams.

Just like: Bradley once did.

Subsequently.

The computer screen in front of him fell from the galaxy.

The game background turned into a picture of countless quartz clock dials spinning rapidly.

Timing jump.

The game screen came to the future three years later:
Another Christmas is here.

Countless tourists gathered in Times Square in Manhattan, New York State.

A man in brown winter clothes walked to the burger shop next to the Nasdaq screen and bought a meal.

then.

He sat quietly in the corner of an alley.

While listening to the audience's excited cheers, I quietly tore open the burger packaging and savored the familiar taste.

three years ago.

It's the same Christmas.

At first, he was just a poor homeless man.

Because of the Hearst Group's involvement in the black industry, all of his assets were frozen in the bank, and he was even sued for a large amount of debt.

Because the family was broken up.

In fact, the homeless man had made plans to die in that long winter three years ago.

just.

Because a gentleman whose name he couldn't even remember gently handed him enough money to buy a hamburger on a cold winter night.

He survived.

And it was the night just after Christmas.

The Hearst Tower burned down and the group's equity structure was constantly broken up.

The huge debt he owed finally had the possibility of being traced back.

and so.

In memory of the gentleman whose name he couldn't even remember.

This ordinary man, who was excited about finding a new job, would come to Times Square every Christmas Eve and quietly spend a few dollars to buy two of the cheapest hamburgers.

Eat one by yourself.

Another one.

He gave it free of charge to another homeless man he met by chance.

perhaps.

Do it.

It was him who could repay the random act of kindness that the unknown gentleman had performed three years ago.

It was the only thing he could do, and it was also the most appropriate answer.
