"Are you sure you want to do this?" asked Barr repeatedly. Forty-four more inquiries, to be exact.

"Sure. Don't worry, I'm not going to do anything to Miss Tailan. ――It's not that I'm not interested, it's that I'm busy. Gu Tie assured with a serious face.

Barr walked over, gave him a man's hug, patted him on the shoulder, and turned to walk out of the room.

Next came Aunt Sula, an American woman who kissed him on the cheek and said, "May God bless you." ”

“ciao。 The Italian sniper raised his right hand weakly on the stretcher, not looking at him squarely.

"Good luck, man. The timpani came over and shook his hand and beat his chest with his fist.

“...... Goodbye, Mr. Iron. Amber said hesitantly, "If there is a chance...... I hope I can ask you something about it. ”

"Of course, beauty, I'll wait until I've solved my own troubles. Gu Tie smiled bitterly, "By the way, your EMP bomb is impressive, handmade?"

"Yes!" Amber's eyes lit up, "The strength of the EMP is related to the explosion yield, my miniature device is considered to have the highest energy efficiency ratio among non-nuclear EMP systems, and I haven't shown you the magnetic field component directional pulse technology, I'm proud of it......"

"Amber!" Shiva's leader shouted outside.

The Russian beauty lowered her eyes, "Well, goodbye." Hope to see you again. With that, he packed his bags, walked out of the room quickly, and closed the door of the cabin with his backhand.

Gu Tie didn't see him off, he leaned against the window, watched Shiva's five warriors wearing plain peasant cotton clothes and trousers, walked into the green grass and blue sky, passed by Professor Tariq's new grave at the foot of the hill, and divided into two teams at the foot of the mountain, each along the winding country road, slowly walking to the horizon.

Gu Tie pursed his lips and looked back at Natalia. The hostess sat in a rocking chair in the center of the empty living room, fiddling with a Rubik's cube. Of course, Gu Tie thought to himself, the Rubik's Cube is the best toy, no matter how it rotates, the small squares remain horizontal and vertical, and never deviate from the track of parallel lines.

"Why don't you see you off, are you sad?" Gu Tie asked with interest.

"Nope. The hostess replied stiffly, twisting the small red, red, green and green color blocks around, Gu Tie only took a second to see that she didn't know how to play at all, and she would never be able to complete a basic 6-sided 3rd order Rubik's cube like that. He walked over and held out his hand, "Is that okay?"

Natalia looked up at him and tossed the Rubik's Cube to him.

"This little thing is actually an interesting mathematical model. If you've ever wasted some time on CFOP (Quick Reset), you know it's frighteningly simple, so memorize the 100 formulas, practice the technique, and add observation and judgment...... It's done. Gu Tie said as he quickly spun the Rubik's Cube in his hand, and as soon as the words fell, a restored Rubik's Cube was placed in Natalia's hand.

"This is a global limited edition released by the original Rubik factory to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the invention of the Rubik's Cube. No matter who gave you this gift, this person must care about you very much, and he doesn't know how to express it, this kind of sullen and hard-mouthed character is really the best among men......"

Gu Tie said to himself, and walked to his room. Behind her back, Natalia buried her head and clenched her small toy, her brilliant blonde curls covering her expression.

"By the way, if you play a lot, you need to use lube. Gu Tie added, and then closed the door of the hut.

This is a small bedroom of five square meters, after announcing that he will stay in Belarus, Gu Tie requisitioned this room from the hostess, especially stating that "when the door is locked from the inside, do not spy on any movement in the house in any way, until I open the door and come out or the house begins to emit the smell of corpses." ”

He didn't explain to Balvindra why he stayed, and Barr, after being shocked, tacitly didn't ask. "It's safe here. When you want to leave, let Tailan arrange it for you. The leader of Shiva left only this one sentence.

Gu Tie toggled the lock spring to lock the door, and then dragged the small wardrobe next to the door over and pressed against the door. There was nothing but a wardrobe and a bed, a small double-glazed window embedded in the wooden walls, and the window looked out over the endless green hills.

Gu Tie looked left and right, found a fireplace fire hook under the bed, stuck the metal rod on the window as a simple anti-intrusion measure, then took out the HK-USP pistol found in the storage room from his pocket, unloaded the magazine, flicked the 12 rounds of 45ACP bullets one by one to the sheet to check the bullet and primer, then loaded the gun, filled the 12-round magazine and buckled it into the grip, checked the safety and stuffed the pistol under the pillow.

The house smells of wood, and the northern mountains are unusually quiet in autumn. Gu Tie let out a long breath and collapsed on the bed, looking at the knotted scar of a piece of wood on the wall. He needs time to rest. It takes more time to think.

There was a cluster of withered pink flowers hanging next to the glass window, and a string of shiny silver bells was decorated next to the flowers, and Gu Tie saw a small figure on the bell, wearing a blue cotton long-sleeved shirt, blue labor cloth suspenders, and a head swollen like a balloon with long messy black hair. Gu Tie grinned, and the little fat man laughed along, revealing a row of frighteningly large white teeth.

Right. It's okay. I was terrified because my subconscious mind had made the unknown adversary huge. He's just a stranger who uses a small trick to trick him into tracking and sending a message that doesn't end in the end, and it's not worth letting himself be so wary of hiding in a hole like a mole.

Gu Tie patted his face, trying to cheer up. Was the message of "staying in Mozyri" a warning, a threat, a death notice, or a kind reminder? Why did he follow the instructions of strangers in the unnamed farm he left behind in the hilly area 45 kilometers east of Mozyri, an important city in southern Belarus? Gu Tie himself could not tell. Are you afraid? -- Of course.

If you use one word to describe a person, Gu Tie hopes that he will have four big words on his head: "cynicism." He wants to leave a cynical impression on others, because he has buried himself too deeply, and it is Gu Tie's usual way of dealing with life to laugh and laugh, but only Xiao Liping can occasionally peek into the darkness in his heart.

Gu Tie was afraid that others would spy on his heart, afraid that others would ask about his life experience, and afraid to mention 2023 - the year he was born was also the year when the "Genesis" was launched.

There are so many secrets buried in him. His biological father. His disappeared childhood. His perverse backdoor access in a quantum computer network. The day he searched with all his might. He knew a truth that existed somewhere, but he couldn't grasp it.

"You're a weirdo. Xiao Liping commented more than once. "I don't know exactly what you're looking for, but I'm willing to follow you and help you find it. Hopefully you can tell me when you find that day. ”

Gu Tie smiled, but in fact, his heart was filled with convulsive pain. He couldn't say it, and he couldn't say it.

In his 29 years of life, he rarely felt afraid, because his family, money, combat skills, intelligence and quantum computers gave him enough security, whether it was in the perilous virtual network or in the middle of the war in Central Africa.

To this day, only today, a text message from the void has shattered this self-confidence,

Fear hits. Gu Tie curled up on the single bed, put his thumb in his mouth and sucked. I couldn't stop shaking. Cold sweat soaked shirt. He forced himself to think about irrelevant things and suppressed his panic.

My hypothalamus is now directing the pituitary gland to secrete thyroid-stimulating hormone, adrenocorticotropic hormone, gonadotropic hormone. Gu Tie recalled medical knowledge. Now, these hormones are transmitted to the endocrine glands. My adrenal medulla began to secrete epinephrine and norepinephrine, which binded to the myocardial cell membrane receptors, increasing myocardial excitability, and at the same time, the constriction of the blood vessels of the skin and mucous membranes and the renal blood vessels intensified, and the nerve fibers were abnormally excited. I would have a rapid heartbeat, tremors in my hands and feet, sweating all over, thirst, muscle tension, and even cramps.

Gu Tie closed his eyes tightly. Unconsciously, he wanted to find a safe place to hide, so a small nerve impulse opened the hidden interface of the chip implanted in the medulla oblongata, the dark earth spread out in all directions, and thunderclouds carrying lightning rolled overhead, this chaotic and calm, noisy but dead place, this only and last Garden of Eden, belonged to Gu Tie's pure land.
