461: Father and son quarrel

Although he could not hear any sound, Fuji's nose stung immediately upon seeing Zhao Chuang's lip movements.

Even though it was a mechanical heart, he still felt as if it had been grabbed by someone.

"I just wanted you to survive! What did I do wrong?"

"Turning you into this state, wasn't that also a last resort?"

"If I let your consciousness return to your bodies and leave here, what would you do?"

"Can you defeat Hafke?"

"The final outcome would still be inevitable death!"

"You don't hate Liu Yan, who caused your deaths, yet every time I come here, having saved all of you, you treat me with cold indifference!"

"Why?"

"Old Chuang, have I spent less time with you than you have with Liu Yan?"

"Regardless of what the two of us have done, do you only have feelings for him?"

Although Fuji could not hear Zhao Chuang's voice, Zhao Chuang could hear Fuji's voice clearly.

But even so, he just sat there, head bowed.

"Mr. Fuji, your father is calling you from behind."

Just then, Meiling's reminder came into Fuji's mind.

Fuji instinctively turned his head, his gaze meeting the phantom image of Cai Ning behind him.

Cai Ning still had his messy curly hair, and a bundle of cigarettes formed by phantoms was dangling from his mouth.

"...Dad."

"Mr. Fuji, do you need me to enable the function to hear only your father's voice?"

"Received, it has been enabled for you."

In some cases, Meiling's inquiries did not require a response from Fuji, because it knew whatever Fuji was thinking.

Cai Ning pointed to a corner. "Let's go talk over there."

Fuji nodded and followed Cai Ning over.

The two walked to the corner, and Cai Ning sat on a chair formed by a phantom image, while Fuji sat on the ground.

Aside from the biological pods, all the facilities here were prepared solely for consciousness.

Various entertainment facilities, daily necessities, and food to satisfy the taste buds were all available.

However, if one were to arrive here in the flesh, there would only be boundless emptiness.

"Speak, why are you here this time? Is the Time Shuttle you mentioned last time finished?"

Facing Cai Ning's question, Fuji nodded.

"I don't know how long I'll be gone..."

"I wanted to come see you all..."

"But they..."

Fuji struggled to control himself, managing to speak without a crying tone.

Cai Ning also sighed helplessly. After finishing the bundle of cigarettes in his mouth, he threw it aside and lit another one.

"Mm, smoking cyber cigarettes, living a cyber life, comfortable."

Cai Ning had long wanted to do something like this. It was just that his body could not handle smoking like this, and when he first arrived, cigarettes were extremely scarce.

Unlike now, where he could smoke infinitely and in an infinite loop.

"Son, no matter what they say, you don't need to care."

"After all, we died in the past long ago."

Upon hearing this, Fuji's expression changed, and he looked at Cai Ning with some disbelief.

The reason was simple: although Cai Ning was not as cold and harsh towards Fuji as the others, he had always been full of disappointment.

This was also the reason why Fuji had placed Cai Ning here as well. If Cai Ning went out, he would do exactly the same things as the others.

But this time, Cai Ning's tone was actually... much gentler than before. Although the meaning of these words was also distancing himself from him...

But even so, it was the first time in so many years that Fuji had heard a gentle tone other than Meiling's.

"Dad... do you understand me?" Fuji asked tentatively.

Cai Ning shook his head decisively.

"I don't understand, but it's too late for me to have another child."

"Didn't you think about the current result at the beginning?"

"If you had joined Hafke and ignored us, none of this would have happened."

"But you joined Hafke, and you saved us. At first, we must have all thought you had some plan and would cooperate with you fully."

"But... you didn't have any plan, nor did you have any intentions." Cai Ning shook his head helplessly.

However, these words completely triggered Fuji.

"What about Liu Yan?! Did he have a plan?"

"A gentleman is judged by his actions, not his intentions. Have the things I've done failed you or them?"

"Have the things Liu Yan did been fair to us?"

"Why does no one speak ill of Liu Yan, but instead points all the spears at me?"

"Just because he's not here anymore? Because no one knows where he went?"

"I don't believe Liu Yan is dead! Even if Liu Yan's name cannot be found on those items, I still don't believe Liu Yan is dead!"

"Because his name isn't on the resuscitation ventilator either!"

Seeing that Cai Ning was just silently smoking, Fuji continued to shout relentlessly:

"Don't forget how you died!"

"Number 66666 was his Soldier! It was also following Liu Yan's orders that it killed you!"

Hearing this, Cai Ning stopped smoking, slowly raised his head to look at Fuji, and said word by word:

"If it was Liu Yan's intention to kill me..."

"Then I would not be dead."

Fuji froze in place, his face full of confusion.

"What do you mean?"

"I only thought of this a while ago." Cai Ning's eyes were deep, and his tone was very serious.

"Once, Liu Yan made a wish, and that wish was for me to survive."

"So when I faced many attacks, even if I didn't dodge, I would accidentally dodge them."

"Even if Reis attacked me right in my face, I would dodge it through various coincidences."

"But Number 66666 killed me... it was just one shot, and I died."

"This shows that the result of doing so was leading to me surviving..."

"If the goal was really to have me die, then that shot from Number 66666 could not have hit me so easily."

"Can you understand?"

Listening to what Cai Ning said, Fuji felt that his own brain should also be replaced with a mechanical one. He could not understand.

In other words, someone wants you to survive, so they killed you?

"Meiling, analyze this..." Helplessly, Fuji spoke in his mind.

"Okay, Mr. Fuji." After Meiling's voice faded, it did not make a sound for a long time.

This was also the first time Fuji had encountered a situation where Meiling needed such a long time to calculate and understand.

"Analysis result, Mr. Fuji, your father belongs to the category of being heavily PUA'd."

"It is also similar to a believer, a follower, this kind of..."

"Alright, don't say anything more." Fuji interrupted Meiling.

Subsequently, he looked at Cai Ning.

"Dad, you are senile."

"What you just said, do you think it's reasonable? Is it logically consistent?"

"I saved you, and Liu Yan wanted to kill me too, but he missed."

"If I hadn't saved you, you would have really died!"

Cai Ning looked at Fuji, whose tone was somewhat agitated, and shook his head helplessly. Finally, he slowly stood up.

"He is my brother."

"I believe in him."

After saying this, Cai Ning walked straight away.

Leaving Fuji alone sitting on the ground.

"All of you are living in a fantasy!!!"

"It's even worse than those people who had the brain-machine interface installed! At least they are happy!"

"They can also switch between fantasy and reality at any time!"

"But you, you are already living purely in a fantasy!"

"Did Liu Yan install a brain-machine interface on you?! To be able to make you PUA yourselves like this?!"

"He is your brother!"

"I am your damn son!!!"

Fuji could not take it anymore and shouted loudly. His voice was loud, filling the entire mountaintop.

But there was no reply to him; everyone was doing their own things.

Fuji gave a miserable laugh.

"I should have known; I shouldn't have come to see you."

"Just watch, sooner or later, I will find Liu Yan and confront him face to face."

"Let all of you see whether it was me who was wrong, or him."

"Even if I can't find him, sooner or later, Hafke will be able to develop technology that exceeds the black box."

"By then, I will show you everything from the past, all of Liu Yan's plans, and everything he did."

Standing up, Fuji left the building without looking back and walked towards the barrier.

Outside the building, seeing Fuji come out, Shen Cangsheng and Lin Han also leaned to the side.

This detail made Fuji clench his fists again. Here, he was like a plague, a virus.

Everyone wanted to stay away from him.

Even.

His father.
