Urban Sims

Two days later.

"Congratulations, starting from today, you are free."

After the medical robot successfully removed the explosive chip from Lan Mengxin's body, Zhou Ming stood aside with his hands folded and a look of relief on his face.

For more than eighty years, this woman who had been trapped in a cage for more than four-fifths of a century finally got what she longed for most——

free

Although the woman's face looked very calm, Zhou Ming knew that her mood at this moment should be like a lark in spring, sunny, cheerful, ethereal, and unrestrained.

This can be seen from the smile on her lips from time to time: she is really very happy.

"Zhao Yu, thank you."

The woman didn't say much, a thank you was enough.

Zhou Ming smiled and said: "The person you should thank is yourself, you saved yourself."

Zhou Ming felt quite emotional. If it weren't for her cooperation, he wouldn't have much confidence in defeating Long Shengguang this time.

Even after more than half a year of preparation, all humans in Longlan Castle, including the housekeepers, servants, and bodyguards, were controlled by his slave potion. However, how to deal with the robots in the castle was still a thorny problem.

Because the password to control the robot is only in the hands of Long Shengguang.

Only by relying on Lan Mengxin's psychic clairvoyance ability can he dig out the passwords on Long Shengguang's body, and then go to the tightly guarded robot control center to enter these passwords and change the control permissions of all robots.

Lan Mengxin is very powerful. All six passwords with a length of more than 20 characters are correct, clearing all obstacles for Zhou Ming's plan.

In the game hall, Zhou Ming was able to win the zero-sum game with Long Shengguang. In addition to a small amount of luck, it was also related to the full preparation he made before the game.

First of all, before their game, Long Shengguang had already played with an equally matched opponent for a whole night. His brain was severely exhausted and he could only use half of his strength.

Secondly, the "thought disruptor" added to the cup of tea prepared by the old butler has a very strong impact on the player's performance, and can even cause serious errors in judgment, causing the player's strength to drop by more than half.

In the end, Zhou Ming was able to win because he had never given up studying gambling skills over the years, especially in the past six months. With the help of slave potions, he had managed to get a few more skilled gamers in the Game City and then went into seclusion at Fort Hope. Zhou Ming, who has been "practicing" for a period of time, has improved his gambling skills so much that ordinary players are no longer his opponents.

Moreover, Zhou Ming also developed a unique card guessing skill. In a deck of 52 cards, if small cards such as 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 are more difficult to guess, then Zhou Ming had been looking at cards like "10" for a long time, and he could almost guess the right one.

Because Zhou Ming discovered that perhaps it was because there were more strokes on the "10" card. In terms of quality, compared with other cards, "10" was about a few tenths of a milligram heavier. Even the machine couldn't handle this. He can always feel the indistinguishable quality error at a glance.

So in the game the day before yesterday, that lucky "10" completely sealed the victory for him.

Zhou Ming was relieved that everything was over, but he still had a lot of doubts in his heart. That night, he couldn't help but asked the woman some of the questions in his heart.

For example, why did your father kill your mother?

Also, why did he imprison you?

This time, Lan Mengxin didn't hide it from him. While drinking the wine in her glass, she looked at the starry sky on the horizon and told him a tragic story in a low voice.

She sighed:

"The source of all tragedies stems from a baby girl who should not have been born into this world."

"This baby girl has the extremely rare ability to see through the mind. At a very young age, she can see the things hidden in people's souls, the good, the evil, the light, the dark, the beautiful, the ugly... …”

“The mother of the baby girl is a kind, beautiful, holy, and bright angel. Although she is also a gamer with superb gambling skills, she never wins all the money from others. Sometimes, I always take part of it and give it to some people who don’t have much money..."

"Until this simple mother met a despicable, despicable, evil devil, her life was destined to be equated with tragedy..."

"Especially after their daughter was born, the simple mother begged the man, saying that they had enough money and no longer had to gamble. They could find a stable place and live a stable life... That man, at the beginning They agreed, and the family of three spent the happiest ten years in a beautiful castle, until they discovered that their daughter was an innate soul clairvoyant..."

"The disaster has begun..."

"A simple mother just wants to live an ordinary life and does not want her daughter to spend her whole life on a tightrope like her; but the evil father believes that this is a treasure given to them by God and should be used rationally. , to obtain more wealth..."

"They had a heated argument, smashed everything in the house, and couldn't live in peace for several months."

"One day, the teenage girl saw something in her father's eyes that made her afraid, frightened, and worried. She quickly told her mother the news and told her to run away. Her father wanted to kill her. Kill her..."

"The innocent mother smiled and didn't believe it, but she was still preparing for the zero-sum game two days later - she made a bet with the man, and the two of them made a bet. Whoever wins will decide her daughter's future."

"Two days later, the innocent mother won, but she also died. In the eyes of the devil: anyone who stands in his way must die."

"That's the sad story."

After finishing the last drop of wine in the glass, the woman stared blankly at the starry sky, which brought back the unbearable memories in her heart.

Zhou Ming was silent for a while and comforted her: "I can hear that you blame yourself very much, but this kind of thing is not your fault..."

"Get out of the way!"

Before Zhou Ming could finish speaking, a strong force suddenly pushed him away, and then there was a loud "bang bang bang" gunshot. A man with disheveled hair held a pistol in his hand and shot at him wildly.

While shooting, the crazy man yelled crazily:

"Master, let me treat you to some candy, delicious candy!"

"One, two, three... Master, they are all for you, eat them quickly!"

"Master, don't be afraid, eat my candy quickly, eat my candy quickly!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Zhou Ming evaded hastily, but because the distance was too close, he was shot in the right arm first. After finally taking out a gun from the system warehouse, he was also shot in the left shoulder. Under severe pain, Unable to exert any force at all, the pistol fell from his hand and he had no choice but to run towards the edge of the terrace.

Just as I was about to jump downstairs, I looked over and saw that the height was more than thirty meters. If I jumped like this, I would either die or be crippled.

It would take some time for the bodyguards and robots downstairs to come over for support. They could only watch the crazy man getting closer and closer to him.

Long Shengguang?

Under the moonlight, Zhou Ming saw clearly the appearance of the crazy man. Wasn't he Long Shengguang, who had become a slave just two days ago?

"Long Shengguang, I order you to go back immediately!"

Zhou Ming's order had some effect. Long Shengguang held his head with both hands, with a look of struggle and pain on his face. He pulled his hair twice and suddenly glared at him with scarlet eyes and roared: "No! I want to ask Master Eating candy!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

He pointed the gun at Zhou Ming again and fired several shots.

Zhou Ming dodges in a panic, feeling very shocked. What is going on? Why can't the slave potion control him?

"Ka~ka~"

The bullets in the pistol were all gone. Long Shengguang took out another magazine from his pocket and replaced it with a ferocious expression. He kept muttering "candy, candy", just as he aimed the gun again and prepared to jump. When Zhou Ming came downstairs, "bang bang bang", a burst of gunfire rang out next to him.

"Puff~puff~puff~"

Several bullet holes with red blood appeared on Long Shengguang's body.

With a "plop~", the pistol fell to the ground. Long Shengguang fell to the ground and saw that he could not survive.

Blue dream heart!

She picked up the gun that Zhou Ming had dropped on the ground, fired several shots, and knocked down her father.

"dad!"

Lan Mengxin threw away the gun, ran to her father quickly, hugged his head, shouted twice, and tears welled up in her eyes.

At this moment, her heart felt like a knife cutting against the father she hated the most and was also the most dependent on.

She killed her own father.

"Wow~wow~"

Long Shengguang vomited out two mouthfuls of blood, the madness in his eyes faded away, and his vision became clearer.

Seeing the woman in front of him, he seemed to realize something. He stretched out his blood-stained hand, put it on her face, and rubbed it twice, his eyes sparkling.

"Lan Xin, I'm...sorry...that day, I really regret...regret."

After saying that, his hand dropped down, his body went limp, and Long Shengguang died.

"Dad~!"

Lan Mengxin burst into tears.

…

Seven days later.

To the west of Longlan Castle, there is a border area between woods and grassland.

A small tombstone was erected next to a large tombstone. There was a line of words on the small tombstone that read: The devil's confession can never make up for the possibility of sin.

Long Shengguang's death was a huge blow to Lan Meng's heart. She hated this father extremely much, but after more than ninety years of getting along with him, even a piece of stone would give rise to many feelings... even hatred.

What's more, Lan Mengxin doesn't want him to die at all, but hopes that he can realize his mistakes and help him find his conscience and repent.

And he knelt down in front of his mother's tombstone to admit his mistake.

But he died anyway, before completing his mission.

Even though he showed a trace of regret at the moment before his death, it was not enough!

Lan Mengxin, who lost an important pillar, seemed to have lost the meaning of existence. She walked helplessly into the forest, walked to a lake, looked at the flat mirror-like lake surface, her eyes were unfocused, still Go forward.

A hand grabbed her.

He held her in his arms.

"And I!"

"Marry me, believe me, from now on, I will be your biggest support!"

The woman didn't say anything, but a stream of clear water came out of her eyes that were as dry as a dry well.
