Lucy said calmly, "You've always wondered why I sat alone by the Pearl River that night, right?"

"Uh...... Yes. Xu Xincheng said with some hesitation. It was the first question that arose when he met Lucy, or to be precise, when he first saw her that night. In fact, he had been wanting to ask her this question for a long time, but he didn't know how to ask it, but he didn't expect Lucy to bring it up himself.

"The reason why I haven't mentioned it is because the reason behind it involves a secret. ”

"The reason behind it?"

"Actually, I mentioned that reason to you on Tuesday night, but I didn't elaborate on it. That night, that's when I realized that Project Parachute had failed, and that was when I knew that the Smart Awakened had crossed the singularity in the process of awakening. ”

"What do you mean?"

"That night was the night of the singularity. That's the second secret. ”

"The night the singularity happened?"

"Yes, it can be said that from that night on, everything changed. ”

"Ahh On Tuesday night, when the two of them talked, his head had been in a mess, but when he heard this, he still knew that it was very important, but he didn't know that it was such a turning point.

He thought hard about it, and hurriedly said, "However, we can't see any major changes! Even today, it's been a month and a half, and we haven't noticed any changes!"

"It happens in the online world, it happens on the dark web, and people can't see it. No one in this world knows except me. ”

"That'...... So how do you know?"

"Among all my plans, there is a side line plan called the 'Scout Project', and the core of the plan is to edit, manage, and run a program called 'Scout' dedicated to detecting anomalies on the dark web. ”

"'Scout' program?"

"I'll tell you more about this later. ”

"Oh. Got it. These days, Xu Xincheng has been guessing that Lucy should still be a programming master, it seems that this conjecture is right, he was taken aback in his heart, it seems that this is another mystery, and there is a secret behind this mystery.

"Anyway, everything changed from that night on. Lucy paused, and said angrily: "If we fail and fail to realize the 'Shepherd Dog Project', if the future predicted by the Third Faction finally happens, then its starting point can be traced back to that night, to the moment when the singularity happened." ”

"Ah!" Xu Xincheng shouted in surprise again, although the voice was not loud, but in the small car, the voice was still very harsh.

He still clearly remembered that at that time, although the expression on Lucy's face did not fluctuate too much, he still noticed her uneasiness and sorrow, at that time, he thought that something must have happened, and at that time, he tried to guess what kind of change.

He only now knew that it was such a "change", and it turned out to be such a major and turning change.

He quickly shook his head to make himself sober, just now, Lucy said the second secret, but, like the first secret, this secret contains too much information, and those information contains too many new questions, he has to take this opportunity to ask a few more questions and get a few more answers, otherwise, he will become more and more confused.

Xu Xincheng said softly: "Lucy, to be honest, the conversation on Tuesday night, and the conversation just now, contained too much information, and I don't know a lot of the content, such as the singularity incident. ”

In fact, these days, whenever he has time, he keeps thinking back to what Lucy said that night, and constantly pondering them, but to this day, he still has no idea what is in it, let alone why. Although, he had just used a declarative sentence, in fact, it was a question, and he hoped that Lucy would explain it further for him.

Lucy, of course, understood that it was a question, and she said, "The singularity is not something that can be explained in a few words, and it is not the point of my talk today, and we will find another opportunity to talk about it later." ”

He nodded silently and said "I understand" to her with his eyes.

As long as Lucy doesn't want to say something yet, something he can't say yet, he won't force it, and he will definitely not care, because he knows that as long as the time comes, she will make it clear to him.

Lucy continued, "Steve, the reason why I suddenly brought up that night is, first, I think it's time to tell you why I sat there all night, second, I think it's time to tell you the second secret, and third, I want to thank you. ”

"Thank me?" Xu Xincheng asked a little confused.

That night, when I was at my lowest mood in the past few years, your company kept my emotions from falling to the bottom.

It was also because I was in a better mood that I was able to better reimagine and plan the second phase of the plan, which was originally to start a year later, but due to the situation, I had to start it early, and I had to make a lot of adjustments, very big adjustments.

The adjustment of the second phase of the plan means that the third phase plan and the fourth phase plan must also be adjusted accordingly, which is a very complicated and difficult process, for which I meditated for three days. ”

Xu Xincheng thought back to the situation of those three nights, he thought that Lucy should be meditating and thinking about something, it seems that his judgment at that time was right, but he thought she was thinking about some things in life, but he didn't expect her to think about such a big thing.
