I changed the timeline with the game.

Chapter 805: Intelligent Machines Cannot Read the Atmosphere
The ancient temple is surrounded by traces of erosion by time, which is completely different from the data world just now.

As for the ancient town of Jinxi - Tongxiang on the outskirts of the Jiangnan coastal city, it is already at the foot of the mountain.

But for this,
Su Wen finally just smiled gently.

He picked up a cigarette from the table and slowly inserted it into the gap of the incense burner. Then he lighted a match.

As the flame jumped, the cigarette was slowly lit.
The curling green smoke and the aroma of incense from the ancient temple intertwined together, adding a sense of inexplicable New Year flavor to the sudden calm.

Su Wen did not have any meaning of worship. If there was any, it might just be for the "long history" that had just passed.

So his action at this moment might just be a casual act to add a little New Year atmosphere.

In some areas of Jiangnan, China, these so-called sacrifices are very important. But because no one had spent the New Year with him before, Su Wen didn't care about these so-called old customs.

but,

This year is different.
So he just said gently:

"The Southern Song poet Dai Fugu once wrote in his New Year's Eve: Sweep the thatched cottage and cleanse the dust, burn a stick of incense and worship the nine heavens.

Maybe what I’m doing now is somewhat similar.”

And hearing him say this,
The cold girl just smiled:
"It's very meaningful, but unfortunately, tomorrow is New Year's Eve."

But after saying this, she quietly followed Su Wen, then gently lit a stick of incense and inserted it into the incense burner.

With the smoke of cigarettes,

The two also walked out of the dilapidated temple.

Until this moment, the faint light of the sun coincidentally shines into the house, illuminating the entire temple:

This dilapidated temple,

There is no statue for worship.

Only two wisps of green smoke remained, slowly flying away with the spring breeze.

As Su Wen walked away from the temple,
He looked out from the mountain, and on the top of the towering mountain he saw the road he had walked this morning:
At the foot of the mountain, the scenery of the small town on the outskirts of Jiangnan gradually took on festive colors under the glow of the sun.

Each red lantern hanging high is like a star blooming ahead of time in the white night. They are interwoven with various colorful lights, making this ancient city full of the festive atmosphere of the New Year, warm and peaceful.

It was as if he could not see that he had just experienced an extraordinary crisis.

But the black cars belonging to the night watchmen and the cordons also proved it all.

now,

The handsome scholar faced the cool wind of late winter and early spring, and at the same time saw Liu Yun and Lin Xiqing directing the crowd.

But in the end he did not choose to stop or say too much, he just smiled gently and then shook his head.

At the end,
He just said calmly: "Let's go."

Su Wen didn't want to get too deeply involved in the Night Watch's operations.

Jiang Menghan is even more like this.
Otherwise she wouldn't have come to help him, and even put on the little fox mask that he could recognize at a glance.

of course,

At this moment, the girl just hung the mask sideways on the side of her fair face.

The originally dust-free and cool temperament with only a simple jade hairpin in the hair becomes more charming.

A few strands of hair were blown across her fair cheeks by the wind, and in the quiet and slightly chilly atmosphere as the year was coming to an end, everything had an indescribable beauty.
of course,

Although he would never get tired of such a beautiful "scenery", it would be too boring to talk about it.
So Su Wen just said slowly:

"sometimes,
I think it might be easier to deal with pure Abyssal pollution.

At least you don't have to face the tangled and complicated 'greed'.

You don't have to wonder how many layers of other people's dark prying are nested above the conspiracy.

of course,

If we only talk about this matter of [Kunlun],

I don't think a thief who stole the core of the Abyss Branch could escape directly into the heart of Binhai City so smoothly."

After hearing his lazy remarks, Jiang Menghan, who had been waiting quietly, finally couldn't help it.

The corners of her mouth lifted up and she couldn't help but chuckle. Her beautiful face suddenly blossomed, and her smile was as beautiful as a flower:

"You,

Perhaps you are the only one who feels that facing the Abyss is easier than facing ordinary psychic out-of-control people.
Many people are simply not able to resist deep-level contamination. Even shallow contamination can cause long-lasting effects similar to Chernobyl exposure. I don’t know how you did it.”

"That includes you, Miss Jiang.

So promise me,

Don’t take risks next time.”

"I disagree."

She shook her head. This seemingly cold and quiet girl would become particularly resolute, or rather, stubborn, only at times like this.

What's more, obtaining the Artemis lineage does not mean that one needs to be extremely selfless.

Being influenced by the sublimated lineage is what the fragile and the fallen of the abyss do.

in other words,

This is why even though Rendel obtained the [Ashes], which already had a color index that was somewhat biased towards the Abyss,

But she was still able to become the chief sentinel.

The extraordinary people in this world have always matched the sublimation spectrum with their own will, and embarked on the road to transcending the starry sea with their own will.

in other words.

The pretty girl's steadfastness and unshakable will were perhaps what truly matched Artemis's [eternity].

Whether it is [eternal love] or not.

at the same time,

With the complete disappearance of the projection remains, the electromagnetic interference similar to the space-time Faraday Cage quietly disappeared.

in other words,

Su Wen’s phone was finally connected again.

The person who called him was not someone else, but Liu Yun from the mountain. She wanted to try this method after searching for Su Wen for a long time without finding any trace:

"How is it, are you injured?"

"fine."

"So what exactly did you encounter after that time-stuck experience? Can you tell me about it?
We just experienced a similar incident.”

And hearing her serious question,
Su Wen just smiled casually:
“As for what happened in the ruins, I can only say that it has little to do with me.

I just watched a long [movie],
of course,

If you really want to know the answer,
In two days,

We'll find a time to talk in detail on the third or fourth day of the Chinese New Year. I still have an early warning task to assign to you.

As for now,

Happy New Year. "

He hung up the phone, and then the pretty girl next to him shrugged:

"I know you don't like to be involved in these things.

Therefore,
Compared to helping the night watchman complete case filing.

Nowadays,

Why don’t we do something else?”

But the next second, before Jiang Menghan could answer, another piece of communication data appeared directly in his ears:

And it was an extremely dull voice:

【Data testing,
Repeat, data test]

[Respondent, can you hear me? ]

now,

Hearing this muffled voice.

Su Wen, who was interrupted continuously, felt that his mood was a bit complicated:
"Kunlun,
Logically speaking, as an advanced artificial intelligence like you, you should at least understand the specific meaning of the word "atmosphere". "
