"Security Framework Protocol No. 1 Successfully Activated, Temporary Security Clearance Lv.1......"

A large number of data charts composed of light curtains began to flicker around the blurred figures, reflecting the small space as if it were a dream. Along with it, there is a sound similar to a mechanical self-test.

In the middle of the sound, all the light curtains suddenly dimmed, and those sounds similar to mechanical self-inspection disappeared together, replaced by the outline of the vague figure gradually became clear, and even the facial features and other details were quickly enriched.

In a few seconds, the humanoid light and shadow in front of him turned into a slim girl.

The girl is in blue clothes and blue hair, and her delicate face is like a beautiful work of art. The red eyes are full of indifference, like a fairy without the breath of fireworks, giving people a feeling of being cold by nature and not being forced to look at.

"My name is ...... Last note. The girl spoke slowly, her voice like a clear spring, "The one who just activated the ring...... That's you, right? ”

When Chu Cheng heard this, he forced himself to remain calm, he did not rush to answer, but quickly analyzed the whole thing in his heart.

Seeing this, the girl didn't urge, so she stood quietly in front of Chu Cheng.

Chu Cheng saw that from the girl's body, there were clear and clear ripples rippling, as if she was sucking something in the void.

Now, is it "one hundred and forty-three thousand two hundred and sixteen years of the Epoch of Destruction"? I can't imagine that the once incomparably powerful human race has fallen to such a point, it's really ...... Pathetic, alas! The girl's red lips opened lightly, and her voice was crystal clear, but it implied an indescribable sadness.

"It's a pity, from ancient times to the present, so many amazing and brilliant people have all failed...... I don't know when the "son of civilization" predicted by the master will appear! The girl's face showed a sad and compassionate look, "Perhaps the human race is destined to perish forever under the curse of 'original sin' until the day when the 'Four-Dimensional Hell' comes!" ”

The girl muttered and said something that Chu Cheng didn't understand at all, which also made Chu Cheng aware of the strangeness...... You must know that the height of the girl is at least 1.7 meters, and the height of the roof of the confinement room is obviously only 1.5 meters.

At this moment, the short confinement room and the tall girl were presented in Chu Cheng's eyes from a contradictory perspective. This sense of distortion in space made Chu Cheng unspeakably uncomfortable.

"The technology of the Ancient Era is really terrifying!" Chu Cheng was sure that that ring was definitely a creation of the ancient era. As for the identity of the girl in front of him, Chu Cheng originally thought that the girl was some kind of artificial intelligence that was lodged in the ring. But the obvious anthropomorphic emotion of the other party just now subverted Chu Cheng's judgment.

"Could it be that the other party is some kind of self-conscious...... Intelligent Life!? Thinking of this, Chu Cheng couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart. If the other party is really some kind of intelligent life, then his act of not answering the question is very likely to anger the other party.

You know, the girl in front of you is from the ancient era. If you get angry and give yourself a beat, you will definitely die!

Thinking of this, Chu Cheng no longer concealed it, and retold what happened to him from being locked up in the confinement room to the back.

"You say...... You've entered the locked space connected by the ring!? Then how can you still be alive! Who knew that when the girl heard this, Qingli's face was instantly covered with shock, "How can a mortal like you not die after looking directly at the indescribable!?" That's impossible! ”

The girl's gaffe made Chu Cheng's pupils shrink, and from the girl's words, he could confirm two points: first, everything he had experienced before was definitely not an illusion! Second, he does have some peculiarity in himself!

"Being able to come back from that space unharmed means that your bloodline genetic factors must have some kind of particularity." The girl's words confirmed Chu Cheng's conjecture, and she saw her jade hand wave gently, and suddenly a blue light swept towards Chu Cheng.

In an instant, Chu Cheng had a feeling that his body and soul had been seen through.

"The genetic factors in your body actually have the characteristics of "terminal genetic factors"! I can't imagine that in this era, there are still people who have incomplete "terminal genetic factors"! The girl was shocked, and the whole person's painting style collapsed a little.

"Terminal Genetic Factor" ...... What is that!? Chu Cheng keenly captured the key words.

"You don't need to know, with the 'cognitive level' you are in now, I can't explain it to you for the time being."

"You just need to know that the genetic information in your body can activate some of the functions of the ring, and even have a chance to make it recognize its owner, and that's enough." ”

"You mean, I'm not the owner of this ring yet?" Chu Cheng was slightly puzzled.

"Of course not." The girl said with a wave of one hand, and the ring suddenly rose into the air, suspended between her and Chu Cheng, "The ring of the Nibelungen is a creation at the peak of Huaya Heavy Industry, if you can easily recognize the master, wouldn't it be too child's play." ”

When Chu Cheng heard this, he nodded subconsciously, and kept the words "Huaya Heavy Industry" firmly in his heart, and it was obvious that this was another extremely important piece of information.

At the same time, the girl's hand suddenly pushed lightly, and the ring suspended between the two of them suddenly floated towards Chu Cheng.

"Since you have an incomplete 'terminal genetic', then according to my master program, we can make a trade." The girl said coldly, "I am willing to sign a contract with you to protect you from becoming the owner of the ring, and you must do one thing for me after becoming the owner of the ring!" ”

"What's the matter?" Chu Cheng suddenly became alert. He knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch.

"I can't tell you yet." Hearing this, the girl spoke indifferently, as if everything was taken for granted, "Choose!" ”

The girl's ambiguous answer caused Chu Cheng to fall into a deep silence. I don't know if it's an illusion, at the moment when the girl threw out this choice, Chu Cheng only felt a hellish horror spread rapidly in his heart along the unknown line of cause and effect! It's as if once he agrees, he will face something terrifying in the future!

But could he really refuse?

Chu Cheng couldn't help but torture himself like this in his heart.

From childhood to adulthood, only Chu Cheng knew how much he longed for power!

Just because his father is a foreigner, and because his hair color and skin color are different from those in the village, Chu Cheng has been named a mongrel since he was a child, and the mother and son have been ostracized and bullied over the years.

For many years, Chu Cheng had been forcing himself to hold his head high and bear it all with a smile.

He never resented his mother, because he knew that neither he nor his mother was wrong, wrong...... It's the world!

He never resented his father, because he firmly believed that his father's departure was ...... There must be a reason for necessity, and my mother's lack of regret for so many years is proof.

Because of this, Chu Cheng never hated fate, but he ...... Thirst for power!

the power to overthrow all injustice; the power to protect her mother and make her happy; Eager to turn this world upside down...... The power of change!

That's right! He, Chu Cheng, craves power!

"I accept!"
