This villain is too popular.

Chapter 58: Once the painful memories disappear, the pain disappears too.

Monday, evening

"Caroline, Caroline, don't walk so fast, I really have something very important to tell you."

At the villa's main gate, Tiandao grabbed Caroline's wrist, finally stopping her from turning back.

However, the Carolines have stopped for now.

But she didn't give Heaven a friendly look.

Because of the little tricks Tiandao and Chenxing had been up to these past few days, she had a lot of opinions about Tiandao.

Unless Heaven can proactively explain the reasons to itself.

Otherwise, she would never have easily forgiven Heaven.

Even so, a hint of expectation still lingered in Caroline's seemingly indifferent expression.

It was obvious that Tiandao had suddenly stopped her this time to explain his 'little secret' with Chenxing during this period.

Caroline was quickly disappointed.

Because what Tiandao said next was not some 'little secret' between him and Chenxing.

Instead, it concerns the details of this 'escort mission'.

If it were in the past, she would have been known for her calmness and rationality.

Whenever Heaven takes the initiative to talk to her about things unrelated to the mission.

Not only would she not listen attentively, she might even turn around and criticize the Heavenly Dao, trying to get it to take things a little more seriously.

But I don't know why today.

After hearing that the reason Tiandao had sought him out was because of a 'mission'.

Caroline couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Although this feeling is rare, it really did happen.

However, Tiandao seemed oblivious to all of this, and went on to explain his reasons for seeking out Caroline.

"So, Caroline, because of Miss Isabel's sudden capriciousness, we have to ask the school for a day off tomorrow to scout out the places she plans to visit."

"After all, both the jellyfish amusement park and the shipwreck restaurant are places with very high population density."

"If we don't familiarize ourselves with the environment beforehand, we won't be able to protect that young lady well when she goes to these places on Friday."

Caroline looked at Tiandao expressionlessly and calmly replied, "Okay, I understand."

After saying that, Caroline turned to go back into the villa.

But this time, Heaven seemed to have thought of something else and called out to her again.

"Wait a moment."

Caroline looked on with a puzzled expression.

Suddenly, the Heavenly Dao mentioned Caroline's Star Source—the Quantum Ghost.

"Caroline, I heard from Sister Yun that you've decided to conduct quantum calculations arranged by the organization after this mission, in order to significantly improve your star source development level, right?"

Caroline nodded, without denying it.

After all, she had only told Yunmeng about this so far.

However, considering the relationship between the Heavenly Dao and Yunmeng, as well as his own relationship with the Heavenly Dao.

It's not surprising that Heaven knows about this.

There was just one thing Caroline couldn't understand.

That's why Heaven suddenly brought this up.

The essence of this quantum computation is to allow Caroline, with the organization's help, to enter the 'supercomputing space', which was originally only accessible to Level 2 AI Star Envoys.

Although doing so carries risks for her such as 'human formatting' and 'memory loss'.

However, this is in view of the organization's expertise in mechanics.

Caroline felt that the risk factor of her 'supercomputing space trip' was still very low.

Could it be that Heaven is worried about itself?
Thinking of this, Caroline's mood suddenly improved a lot.

Her previously cold expression visibly softened, and she asked, "What's wrong, Tiandao? Why are you suddenly bringing this up with me?"

Seeing Caroline's puzzled expression.

The Heavenly Dao opened its mouth, as if it wanted to say something.

But in the end, he chose to keep those words to himself and said in a classic, half-joking tone, "It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered that once your consciousness enters the supercomputing space, we won't be able to meet for at least a month, and at most three months."

"And that means that for the first few months after I return to the base, there will be no one to help me get meals from the canteen in advance."

Upon hearing this, Caroline suddenly burst into laughter.

She looked at Tiandao, a rare teasing expression on her face. "What, is that all you wanted to say?"

Faced with Caroline's teasing, Tendou scratched his cheek and pretended that his thoughts had been guessed. He said reluctantly, "Okay, what I really wanted to say is that I won't be able to eat double desserts legitimately for a while. That's the most important thing."

Seeing Tiandao's amusing reaction, Caroline couldn't help but laugh.

"I knew it. Alright, Heavenly Dao, don't worry, I've already arranged all of this."

“I told Instructor Yunmeng a long time ago that during the time I was in the supercomputing space, all my desserts would be credited to you, so you don’t have to worry about having double desserts.”

"Besides, it's only three months at most. There's plenty of time after that, and your desserts will definitely be a must."

"Oh, I see. Then I'm relieved."

Having received the answer he wanted, Tiandao immediately revealed a satisfied expression in front of Caroline.

After reminding Caroline not to be late the next day, he walked ahead of her to the villa alone.

However, in a direction that Caroline couldn't see, the expression on Tiandao's face quickly changed from happiness to complexity.

Although the 'Year-End Fireworks' plan was conceived by Tiandao and he was determined to implement it.

But as he and Caroline got to know each other better...

He was no longer the same person he was at the beginning, treating Caroline and others as ruthless tools for gaining popularity.

Instead, they truly regarded them as their partners, their friends, and their family.

Therefore, if possible, Heaven would not want to deliberately harm its 'family' just for a little bit of popularity.

However, if everything were to proceed as originally written, Caroline would face a sudden attack from the Star Envoy Association a few months later.

This leads to imperfections in one's own 'calculation,' resulting in the fatal flaw of 'personality deficiency.'

For most AI-powered Star Envoys, 'personality deficiency' is not a flaw, but rather a great advantage.

This allows them to discard all 'emotional' factors and keep their thinking in the most 'rational' state.

However, from the perspective of Heaven, if a person cannot even feel the most basic 'joy, anger, sorrow and happiness'...

Can such a person still be considered a human being?
Therefore, if Heaven wants to make Caroline's 'calculation' perfect...

He not only had to buy Caroline enough time for 'calculation'.

He also needed to provide Caroline with as much 'emotional' stimulation as possible afterward.

In this way, he was confident that he could downplay the excessively high rationality that the supercomputing space brought to Caroline.

This allows them to retain their 'human' aspect to the greatest extent possible.

Although his actions were somewhat cruel to Caroline.

But it's better to let Caroline live with hatred as a human than to turn her into a pure, emotionless android, isn't it?

Moreover, Heaven did not intend for Caroline to remain in 'pain' and 'hatred' indefinitely.

Because once the painful memories disappear, the pain itself will naturally disappear as well.

Thinking of this, Tiandao, who had already reached the door, immediately took a deep breath.

The next second, the complicated expression on his face disappeared.

Instead, he returned to his usual, unreliable demeanor.

This change in expression undoubtedly indicated that he didn't want others to see his true thoughts.

His disguise, however, fooled everyone.

But there was no way to hide it from the anime viewers.

Actually, if it weren't for the flashbacks earlier...

At this moment, the viewers in the anime/manga world might also be fooled by Tendo's superb acting skills, just like Caroline, thinking that he was simply worried about his double portion of dessert, which is why he had those conversations with Caroline just now.

After all, this perfectly fits Tiandao's persona as a serious sweet tooth.

However, with the preceding flashback as a setup, the viewers of the anime all understood that Tiandao's words just now were clearly loaded with hidden meaning.

He simply didn't say those words out of some concern, choosing instead to bury them in his heart once again.

Although his action won him a lot of fans.

However, it also made the viewers in the anime/manga world very sad, and this feeling of sadness reached its peak when Caroline said, "There is still a lot of time ahead."

No, sis, are you still naively talking about the future?

It looks like there won't be a future for us anymore!
