After returning the card, Shi Lei checked his bank account, 10 billion, and lay in it peacefully.

first used 50% of this, that is, 5 billion yuan, to liquidate the amount of his previous "loans" to various consumptions, and Shi Lei found that the 5 billion yuan was not enough to repay himself.

Collectible consumption is not considered for the time being, and the amount of non-income investment has been dispersed by Shi Lei into various research institutes that he has asked Yao Er to help establish in the past year, but has not yet made a large investment.

These institutes are already staffed with first-class scientists, and each institute is equipped with only one or two scientists, who take their students to carry out the most basic preparation and research.

Now that the funds are in place, Shi Lei plans to let them carry out real research and development.

The direction of research and development is based on the characteristics of these scientists themselves, and Shi Lei directly gives the topic.

These topics were carefully prepared by Shi Lei, and for this reason, he consumed more than 300,000 reputation points in the reputation system.

However, because both the Freedom Fund and the Swiss Trust Fund are continuing to do charity, this has brought Shi Lei a steady stream of prestige, making his reputation in the prestige system once exceeded the million mark. Therefore, the consumption of more than 300,000 prestige points seems to be huge, but in fact it is not so amazing.

After getting the topic given by Shi Lei, those scientists expressed extreme shock in the face of such a high-end topic.

Of course, Shi Lei explained, he told these scientists that he bought the subject at a high price, and promised that there would be no legal disputes, so that the scientists could just continue this idea for research and development.

Every scientist is faced with a single direction of scientific research, but only Shi Lei knows that the direction he lays out includes human genes, new alternative energy, aviation technology, application of new materials, medicine, high-end molecular chemistry, biotechnology, and so on......

And this is only a part of Shi Lei's scientific research layout, and the entire complete layout will take Shi Lei at least ten years to complete.

If he is allowed to complete all these scientific research projects and integrate them, Shi Lei can say without exaggeration that this will save at least two hundred to three hundred years of time for the human technology tree.

Even, Shi Lei doesn't know what he can get from the prestige system, perhaps, these technologies from the higher dimensional universe will be able to directly bring mankind into the age of space navigation.

All this, Shi Lei can only know by exploring more of the prestige system.

Then, Shi Lei spent 2 billion yuan to set up a company, which will be responsible for the integration and productization of the scientific research results of all the research institutes under his name.

Shi Lei decided that in the future, the research institute will be the research institute, anyway, these research institutes are controlled by him alone, and the productization and mass production will be handed over to the company under the joint name of Wei Xingyue, Song Miaomiao and Sun Yiyi.

Wei Xingyue and Song Miaomiao have already ended everything about Qixuan Bicycle, Qixuan UK and Qixuan North America have already cashed out and left, and they have been idle at home for more than half a year, and now, this company is handed over to the two of them.

Shi Lei is also very busy, and he is no longer as idle as before, he almost spends all his time exploring the prestige system.

Constantly consume reputation points in exchange for more science and technology, and then try every means to convert it into projects that can be executed and carried out by earth science and technology for follow-up research and development, and then set up a research institute, wait for the next quota cycle to bring, and use the consumption quota of non-income investment to invest.

Two years have passed in a hurry, and the company run by Wei Xingyue and Song Miaomiao has come up with three jaw-dropping products, which are completely at the forefront of the times.

The company's market capitalization quickly crossed the $50 billion mark.

Because the 10 billion quota was used too simply, Shi Lei didn't even use the opportunity to query the quota, and he didn't realize it until October 3, two years later.

No matter what, Shi Lei will not have much to worry about, after all, there is no obstacle to the use of this money, and it is completely in line with the black card code.

Moreover, Shi Lei still has a chance to be exempt from punishment, after Shi Lei returned it to himself with fifty percent of the city copy consumption, the remaining fifty percent, even if all of them are unqualified, it is enough for Shi Lei to be exempt from punishment.

Sitting quietly on the sofa in Wu Dongjiu's living room, Shi Lei habitually turned off all the lights in the room, and then he entered the password in his brain......

Under normal circumstances, after Shi Lei entered the password, a pattern like a vast sea of stars would flash in front of his eyes, and then the scepter bloomed with golden light and slowly appeared, slowly rotating, and finally occupied this starry sky, standing up to the sky, and then began to communicate with Shi Lei.

But today, after Shi Lei entered the password, he didn't get any response, not to mention the scepter, and even the sea of stars didn't appear.

What the hell is this?

Shi Lei frowned, and he even called softly: "Scepter?"

No one answered him.

Shi Lei entered the password again, but he still couldn't see everything he was familiar with.

"What the hell? Did I miscalculate the time?"

But there is no need to look at the calendar, Shi Lei also knows that he is absolutely not wrong.

Two years ago, on October 3, he was promoted to the sixth rank and became a respected sixth class boshi. And now, it's his first settlement day at level six.

Moreover, even if it is not the settlement day, Shi Lei can enter the password to communicate with the scepter at any time, and there has never been a situation where he entered the password but could not find the scepter.

"Scepter?"

Shi Lei shouted.

"Black card?!you come out!"

Shi Lei Zishao entered the password in his brain more than ten times, this six-digit password, he was already familiar with it, but the scepter never appeared.

Shi Lei felt a little anxious, he didn't know what to do.

It has been eight years since he got the black card, and he has changed from a 21-year-old college student who has not yet graduated to a super-rich man who is about to be established.

Of course, Forbes can't count the wealth that Shi Lei has, but Shi Lei himself has calculated that it may not make him the richest man in the world, but it will definitely be more than enough to make him the richest man in China.

And with this whole process, it is not his parents, not Wei Xingyue, not Song Miaomiao, not Sun Yiyi, but ......

Rather, it is the black card and the scepter.

Shi Lei had long lived under the threat of the Black Card and the Scepter, and he never imagined that he would one day lose contact with them, even though he had been eagerly waiting to break the contract with the Black Card.

Now that he has suddenly lost contact, Shi Lei is really a little panicked.

"Hey, stop playing! Settle day! You guys come out for me!" Shi Lei circled around the room, shouting loudly.

In the empty room, of course, no one would give him any answer.

Shi Lei suddenly remembered that the black card that started his eight-year life was still lying in his wallet, even though he rarely needed to use his wallet over the years.

Running upstairs, Shi Lei found his wallet, and then he rushed out of the villa gate, got into his car, and went straight to the nearest self-service bank.

couldn't wait to insert the black card, Shi Lei entered the password......

Then, a dialog box pops up on your screen.

"Sorry, the card ...... not recognized"

Shi Lei's whole person was stunned......

What the hell is this?

If you don't believe in evil and re-enter the password, you can still have the same prompt at the ATM.

Shi Lei entered the password for the third time, and this time, the dialog box that popped up on the screen was finally no longer these words.

"Sorry, entering the PIN three times in a row is invalid, the card has been locked, please contact the card issuer. ”

I'll contact your sister!

Where is the hairpin of the black card? Is it another universe? Why don't I try to cultivate an immortal or something, and see if I can fly over the avenue and take a look?

The most disgusting thing is that the cards are all swallowed.

Could it be that this is the termination of the contract with the black card? Otherwise, why doesn't the black card appear?

However, you can tell me about the termination of the contract!

Shi Lei suddenly thought that the black card hadn't even told him the complete conditions for terminating the contract, why was it gone?

Or, when he was promoted to the sixth level, he had already terminated the contract, but the black card and the scepter teamed up to make a joke with Shi Lei, and finally gave him 10 billion, and then disappeared like that?

Shi Lei suddenly remembered that settlement day two years ago, in the exchange between Heika and him, it was actually quite strange at times. At the time, I thought it was nothing, but now that I think about it, I always feel like a hint.

Anyway, you left a letter!

Shi Lei was really speechless.

Walking out of the self-service bank, Shi Lei took out his mobile phone, he wanted to find someone to help open this ATM, with his current identity and energy, this can be done easily.

However, before he could dial the phone, the phone rang suddenly.

It was a call from Bodhi Wei.

"Hey, Bodhi......"

Shi Lei's voice was a little depressed, and Wei Bodhi heard it keenly: "Shi Lei, what's wrong with you? ”

"It's nothing, it's just that I haven't rested well for the past two days. What are you looking for from me?"

"Oh, are you really okay?"

"Let's get down to business, I'm fine. ”

"The chief wants to see you. ”

Shi Lei frowned and said, "Bebella?"

"Well, if it's convenient, let's take a trip to London. If it's inconvenient, the leader says she can go to you too. ”

"What do you know?" Shi Lei always felt that this was related to the black card, so he asked more.

Wei Bodhi hesitated a little, but finally said: "I didn't dare to ask more, but the leader's meaning seems to be to discuss with you, hoping that you can take over our organization." ”

"Take over the Pupil of Night?"

Shi Lei seemed to understand in an instant that the black card should really have left, and it should have returned to the universe where it used to be. And the Pupil of Night, or Bebella, is its last clue on Earth. Get rid of Bebella and hand over the pupil of the night to Shi Lei, and the black card will no longer have anything to worry about.

So, Shi Lei nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go to London tomorrow." Or, you tell Bebella that she's going to die, and I'll take the Pupil of the Night. ”

The next day, Shi Lei flew directly to London.

Wei Bodhi came to pick up the airport in person, and there was a ...... in the car A woman who is like a rubber man.

The conversation lasted twenty-eight hours, and in the end, Bebella handed Shi Lei a letter.

Shi Lei didn't ask Bei Beila who gave him this letter, and Bei Beila didn't say. However, Shi Lei knew that this must be the letter left by Hei Ka to him.

When Shi Lei left, he glanced back, the woman who looked like a rubber man, her face was rapidly turning gray, losing all her luster, as if a real rubber man was sitting there.

Bebela's eyes were still open, but there seemed to be a big word "death" written in her eyes.

Shi Lei didn't stay any longer, reached out and pressed the button to open the door.

After walking out, there were two people standing outside the door, one of them was Wei Bodhi, whom he was familiar with.

Wei Bodhi bowed his head and said, "Hello, new leader. ”

Shi Lei didn't say anything, but according to Wei Bodhi's arrangement, he completed the ceremony of succeeding to the position of the leader of the Pupil of Night.

After announcing his inauguration, Shi Lei announced the first thing.

"From now on, among the organizational functions of the Dark Eyes, the function of finding various works of art will be completely abolished. Other functions will also be greatly adjusted. In short, we should never again exist as an illegal organization, but be accepted by the governments of every country on this planet. And all this, I will announce it at a later date. ”

Ignoring everyone's opposition or approval, Shi Lei insisted on dismissing everyone.

In the empty room of the leader of the Dark Pupil Headquarters, Shi Lei opened the letter left for him by the black card.

"Respected Sixth-Rank Boshi, I believe that at this moment, you have inherited the Pupil of Night. This organization is the last trail I have left in your universe. Well, it should be said that it is the last clue except for you. So, please keep your mouth shut, as if I never appeared. Of course, in the absence of other clues, even if you say it, I don't think anyone will believe it. After all, this is far beyond the comprehension of humans in this universe, on this planet. You must be wondering why I'm here and why I'm going. The answer is actually quite simple, because I think with your current wisdom, you should have guessed all this. ”

Shi Lei took his gaze back from the letter paper and looked out the window.

Outside the window is a lush green, even if it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the scenery outside the window is still full of vitality.

On the letter paper, it is actually handwriting, and the font is in the middle of the distance, as if it is ...... It's as if it was written by an eraser person.

Shi Lei understands that of course this will not be written by Heika himself, it is just a huge and complicated program, and it is impossible to write.

This letter should have been ghostwritten by Bebera, right?

After a while, Shi Lei continued to look down at the letter.

"I'm from another universe, it's an artificial intelligence program, well, that's what you call me, at least on your planet. My mission was to preserve everything in that universe. Yes, that's everything. In that universe, I am still omnipotent, even if I am strongly bound by the Black Card Code. As a result of events beyond my control—what happened, that would be another one, with all due respect—in our universe, intelligent beings, what you call humans, are extinct. And after a long period of darkness, I gained new energy and restarted. And the first instruction I received after activating it was to restore the intelligent beings in this universe. With enough DNA samples left in this universe, I can easily create new intelligent beings. However, the cloned new intelligent creatures, they can only be like Bebela, they only have the characteristics of intelligent creatures, but they do not have the emotions that intelligent creatures should have. It's an extremely boring process, and the creature loses its mood and is literally like a toy. I, on the other hand, have to do with these toys. So, I destroyed a galaxy and gained enough energy to come to your universe. I have to find enough emotional samples in your universe......"

Shi Lei has completely understood that this is the mission of the black card, and this is also the purpose of everything that the black card has done to him.

And this point, in fact, Shi Lei has thought of it a long time ago, but he has never said it, nor has he ever looked for a black card for any form of verification.

Heika's letter also said a lot of other things, including advice to Shi Lei, a description of itself, and even a detailed explanation of the reasons why it was able to give Shi Lei those superpowers.

It took Shi Lei more than an hour to read the letter, he picked up the match at hand, lit the letter completely, and then watched it turn to ashes.

Because, this is the last requirement of the black card.

Walking to the window, Shi Lei whispered to the inopportune green of Yinyin: "Black card, goodbye." ”

After a long time, Shi Lei closed the window to block the green out of the window.

He faced the darkness in the room and spoke softly again.

"Thank you, Heika, for everything you have given me, and I will leave it to all the people on this planet. Perhaps, with all this wealth, they will not repeat the mistakes of the humans of your universe. Of course, it could also hasten the demise of humanity. Who knows?"

Shi Lei walked to the door, and at the same time as opening the door, he said: "By the way, I want to write a book, the title of the book is "Black Card", I will faithfully record my experience, I have thought of the pen name, Xiao Seliang, not bad, ......right?
