Chapter 72 Gu Bei's Strangeness, Signal in the Dead of Night
Since the "academicians snatching people" incident, Sui Sui has become the most dazzling star in the Qin family compound.
She spent every day with Chu Kuang in that laboratory that was comparable to a military base.
Today they dismantle a scrapped engine, tomorrow they calculate a ballistic trajectory, having a great time.
Gu Bei, however, became increasingly silent.
He no longer takes the initiative to discuss those complex mathematical models with Sui Sui.
He also stopped showing off his computer-like memory.
Most of the time, he would stay in his room alone, turning the Rubik's Cube in his hand over and over again.
Those gloomy eyes always gazed through the window at the bare old locust tree in the yard, lost in thought.
The adults were too busy with their own things to notice his changes immediately.
But Sui Sui sensed it.
She noticed that when Gu Bei slept at night, he would curl up into a ball, like a small animal lacking a sense of security.
She also noticed that Gu Bei would unconsciously touch his wrist while eating.
There, the shameful mark of "S-009" was once etched.
Sui Sui knew he was afraid.
I'm afraid of that short-lived future, predetermined by "genetic lock".
It was late at night.
Everyone went to sleep.
Gu Bei's room was pitch black.
He lay in bed with his eyes wide open, showing no signs of sleepiness.
Sudden.
His laptop, which was on the bedside table, lit up without warning.
There is no boot screen or desktop.
There was only a black, minimalist dialog box floating quietly in the center of the screen.
A line of white, printed Song typeface characters appeared out of thin air.
[S-009, can't sleep?]
Gu Bei's heart skipped a beat, and he instantly sat up in bed.
It's them!
The Immortal Society!
He quickly ran to the computer and his fingers flew across the keyboard, trying to track down the other party's IP address.
But the other side's firewall was as solid as a fortress.
All tracking requests were ignored.
Another line of text appeared in the dialog box.
Don't waste your energy. Our technology is twenty years ahead of its time.
You're afraid of death, aren't you?
I can sense that the cells in your body are decaying. Your genetic potential has less than three years left.
These words were like a sharp knife, precisely stabbing into Gu Bei's most vulnerable spot.
Three years.
He only has three years left.
Gu Bei's fingers stopped on the keyboard, his body trembling slightly.
Do you want to live?
We have the antidote. The real, complete antidote.
Unlike Lu Ci's half-baked remedy, which only treats the symptoms and not the root cause.
Antidote!
These two words, like a bolt of lightning, cleaved through the darkness before Gu Bei's eyes.
He stared intently at the screen, his breathing becoming rapid.
Come to the usual spot.
[The abandoned Third Chemical Plant in the west of the city.]
[I came alone.]
This is your only chance.
The message flashed a few times, then disappeared along with the black dialog box.
The computer screen went dark again, as if nothing had happened.
Gu Bei sat motionless on the cold chair.
His brain was working at lightning speed.
This is a trap.
100% is a trap.
They wanted to use him to deal with Sui Sui.
but……
What if?
What if they really do have an antidote?
He doesn't want to die.
He really didn't want to die.
He wanted to live, to watch Sui Sui grow up, and to see what a remarkable person she would become.
He wanted to go with her to send all those who had hurt them to hell.
But he didn't have time.
Gu Bei walked to the window and looked at the light in the next room that had been turned off.
He knew that Sui Sui was inside, fast asleep.
She has so many godfathers who love her, and a father like Qin Xiao.
They will do anything to save her.
But what about yourself?
I am just one of those "of the same kind" who was adopted incidentally.
Although Qin Xiao and his godfathers treated him very well, in their hearts, he was ultimately no match for Sui Sui.
Once this thought popped into his head, it clung to his heart like a vine.
Let him suffocate.
Gu Bei stood in the room for a very long time.
For a long time, even the moon outside the window was obscured by dark clouds.
finally.
He made up his mind.
He has to go.
Even if it's a trap, he'll still go through it.
For that one in ten thousand chance of survival.
He changed into a black tracksuit and examined the poison needle hidden inside the Rubik's Cube.
Then, like a well-trained cat, he quietly opened the window and climbed out.
The movements were light and silent.
He landed on the grass in the yard and glanced back at the quiet little building in the night.
Bye now.
If I don't come back, Sui Sui, you must live well.
He turned and disappeared into the darkness.
What he didn't know was.
The moment he climbed out the window.
In the next room, on that small bed covered with pink sheets.
Sui Sui slowly opened her eyes.
Those eyes, which shone brightly in the darkness, showed no sign of sleepiness.
All that remains is a sense of clarity and...heartache.
She didn't wake anyone.
She knew this was a hurdle for Gu Bei.
He has to get through it himself.
What she had to do was not to stop him.
Instead, they will be his strongest support when he needs them.
Sui Sui climbed out of bed and put on her pink backpack, which was full of "weapons of mass destruction".
She followed Gu Bei's example and quietly climbed out of the window.
Like a lonely little animal chasing another.
They disappeared into the vast night, one after the other.
