A black maglev sedan pulls up in front of a magnificent manor.

A middle-aged man got out of the car, and he hurried into the magnificent manor under the leadership of the black-suited bodyguard standing at the gate of the manor.

"It's getting a little out of control."

The bodyguard leaned into the middle-aged man's ear and whispered, and then shook his head imperceptibly when the middle-aged man's eyes looked over.

"I see."

The middle-aged man sighed and followed the bodyguard to the oak gate of the main building of the manor.

After entering the building, he walked straight to the innermost bedroom of the main building, led by the housekeeper of the manor.

Click-

When the housekeeper withdrew, only a middle-aged man and an old man leaning on a hospital bed and needed a ventilator to continue his life in the hundred-square-meter bedroom.

"Professor Zhou, your product doesn't seem to be that effective."

The old man closed his eyes, and the respirator covering his mouth and nose automatically retracted into the box next to the bed, and on a display screen next to the bed, a metallic heart could be seen beating slowly.

"I believe in you to give you my life."

"The technology of the heart of the machine is not yet perfect......

Zhou Yucheng wanted to explain, but was interrupted by the old man's raised hand in the middle of his words.

"Think about who unconditionally supported your research when you had nothing."

The old man opened his eyes, and his eyes were not cloudy when he was terminally ill, but bloomed with an undoubted essence.

"Think about it again, who spent a lot of money to keep you when you had that kind of incident."

Zhou Yucheng on the side heard the old man's words, and his breathing became obviously short.

His head hung low, and his hands began to clench into fists, as if he was enduring some kind of mental torment.

"Without me, your so-called ideals are just a bubble, you have to understand that everything you have is given to you by me."

The old man was still putting pressure on Zhou Yucheng.

"Now, it's time for you to repay me."

……

……

After exiting the game, Bai Ye was stunned for half a minute.

"That's it?"

After finishing the personal exclusive plot, you just received two prompts and you're done?

He tried to log back into the game, but the system said 'Personal story has ended, please reopen after the tournament'.

"Am I the only one who can't log in?"

He used his computer to log on to the official website of "Pale Dawn", and noticed that the official website had already become noisy.

It's not because players can't log in to the game like Bai Ye, but because the system has released the news of the first personal story finisher, as well as the content of the upcoming personal tournament.

"The purpose of the individual championship is to make the standings enter the final ranking calculation stage, right?"

He opened the standings and checked it, and noticed that his ranking was still in the top 50 range, and the gap between him and the first place was not very big.

"The points race is the key to the first season."

He quit the game, and shortly after taking off his helmet, a vibrating alert came from his personal communicator.

"Is it Qin Yang?"

Qin Yang hadn't been in contact with Bai Ye for a while, he had been helping Bai Ye investigate his background before, and since the last time Bai Ye told him the news that his cousin had gotten, he had not heard from him for the time being.

But when Bai Ye picked up the phone, it wasn't Qin Yang's voice coming from the phone.

……

The 'Second Life' company, the heart sculpture in the square in front of the building still stands magnificently.

Bai Ye stopped his maglev motorcycle in front of the building, took off his helmet, and revealed his silver-white hair.

After entering the company building, there is a reception robot that has been waiting for a long time.

"Professor Zhou is waiting for you in his personal laboratory."

After the robot finished saying this, he turned around and led Bai Ye to the way.

Just an hour ago, Bai Ye received a call from 'Qin Yang', the voice on the phone claimed to be Zhou Yucheng, and the caller wanted to invite Bai Ye to the Second Life Company.

Bai Ye asked Qin Yang for the news, but the other party only replied, 'He's fine, you'll know when you come'.

Obviously, the other party should have done something to Qin Yang, otherwise there would be no way to explain why the personal communicator was in Zhou Yucheng's hands.

Bai Ye was concerned about Qin Yang's safety, so he immediately left home and drove a maglev motorcycle to the 'Second Life' company building.

The robot took Bai Ye up to the 17th floor of the building by elevator, and after getting out of the elevator, he found that the entire floor of the 17th floor looked like a laboratory, and there were many researchers in white coats walking back and forth, as well as some mechanical creations.

After following the reception robot to the innermost part of the 17th floor, Bai Ye met Professor Zhou Yucheng, the developer of the Heart of Machinery, who often appeared on TV and advertising airships.

"What about Qin Yang? What did you do to him? ”

Bai Ye was worried about Fa Xiao's safety, so he came up and asked repeatedly.

"He'll be fine."

Zhou Yucheng didn't speak, and a man in a black suit walked out of a blind corner next to him, holding a communicator with an imager in his hand.

As if to verify his statement, he turned on the imager on the communicator, and a virtual display screen popped up on the communicator, and a room appeared on the display, and Qin Yang was sitting alone on the seat in the room, looking like he was not in any danger.

Seeing this picture, Bai Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's okay now, and there's no guarantee in the future."

The black suit said something, and then turned his head to look at Professor Zhou Yucheng.

"Professor Zhou, I'll leave it to you next, don't let my master down."

With that, the black suit walked out of the laboratory.

……

After the black suit left, Bai Ye noticed that Professor Zhou Yucheng was looking at him.

There was a little strangeness in his eyes, but more kindness.

"Your name is Bai Ye?"

He seemed a little embarrassed, and asked with a kind of speechlessness.

"Just say it, what's the matter with me?"

Bai Ye also felt a little uncomfortable, because he had already learned about his life experience from his cousin, and the Zhou Yucheng in front of him was his biological father.

"Do you know who I am?"

Zhou Yucheng asked tentatively.

"Yes."

Bai Ye's answer was very indifferent.

"That'...... That ......"

Zhou Yucheng was a little speechless.

"How did my mother die?"

Bai Ye asked this question in a cold tone.

She ...... She's not mentally ......."

Zhou Yucheng's eyes were a little dodgy.

"Lying."

Bai Ye asked again: "How did she die?" ”

"She's ......"

Zhou Yucheng's breathing became short, he put his hand on the experimental table next to him, and his voice trembled a little.

"Bai Ye, you don't understand, I ...... at that time That's everything to me. ”

"What is more important than your wife and children?"

Bai Ye snorted coldly, his tone full of persecution.

"You know, if the technology of the Heart of Machines succeeds, it will be a feat that will cross the ages!"

Zhou Yucheng raised his head suddenly, there was a glint in his eyes, and when it came to the project he had been researching, he seemed to be a different person.

"It can extend the life expectancy of a normal person by at least 50 years, it can treat hundreds of incurable diseases, it can ......"

"It can also turn people into monsters."

Bai Ye ruthlessly interrupted Zhou Yucheng's words.

"I've seen it with my own eyes, the heart of the machine turns a living person into a cold monster."

"No, this technology has actually been perfected, and the core calculation formula has been lost."

Zhou Yucheng looked up at Bai Ye and stretched out his hand to Bai Ye.

"You're the most successful case, you didn't become a monster."

"Your heart is my most perfect work!"
