Chapter 544: Endless Darkness
Not long after Cheng Yu left the hospital, the exhausted Ning Kezhu couldn't hold on.
Although she kept telling herself not to fall asleep, the mental distress still made it difficult for her to persevere, and her eyelids became heavier and heavier, until finally she couldn't bear it anymore and closed her eyelids.
Very quickly, Ning Kezhu fell asleep.
Hearing Ning Kezhu, who was breathing evenly, from the bed next door, Cheng Guangnian knew that his wife should have been unable to resist the erosion of the sleeping demon and entered a sweet dream.
But Cheng Guangnian, who is cautious by nature, still waited for a while before slowly raising his eyelids a little.
Ning Kezhu didn't turn off the lights, so everything in the ward, Cheng Guangnian could see clearly.
When she saw Ning Kezhu motionless and her whole body curled up in the quilt, Cheng Guangnian, who had been a husband and wife with her for more than 20 years, knew that Ning Kezhu was really asleep.
Raising his arm slightly, Cheng Guangnian glanced at the time, eleven twenty-three minutes.
As Cheng Yu expected, Cheng Guangnian didn't take too long after entering this ward, but he had actually woken up.
Of course, if he didn't have that voice in his head, he might have woken up a little later.
At that time, not long after Lao Bian had just finished talking to Cheng Yu on the phone, the system in Cheng Guangnian's mind completely heard Cheng Yu's words, and also knew that Cheng Yu was already suspicious.
It was it that woke Cheng Guangnian up, and it thought that Cheng Guangnian should need to hear Cheng Yu and Lao Bian's face-to-face communication.
It's just that even if it is the system, it didn't expect that Cheng Guangnian would choose to continue to pretend to be dizzy, and its original plan was to let Cheng Guangnian provide more clues for Lao Bian and Cheng Yu.
However, the host's behavior choice is his own business, and it is impossible for the system to completely interfere, so since Cheng Guangnian himself wants to choose to pretend to be stunned, the system will not remind him of anything.
In this way, Cheng Guangnian listened to all the conversations between Cheng Yu and Lao Bian word for word, and the reason why he chose to continue to pretend to be dizzy was actually because he suspected that this car accident was not an accident, and he also wanted to simply use this car accident to see some things he couldn't understand more thoroughly.
The conversation between Cheng Yu and Lao Bian made Cheng Guangnian have a clear judgment the more he listened, and today's incident must be inseparable from Cheng Fu.
If you want to say that you are not angry, it is impossible, no matter how deeply Cheng Guangnian usually hides his thoughts, when he learned that his nephew actually wanted his own life, he still felt that the tip of his heart was trembling.
Under such emotions, Cheng Guangnian inevitably had some actions on his limbs that should not have appeared.
Although he quickly adjusted back, Cheng Yu still saw a little clue.
However, the conversation between Cheng Yu and Lao Bian also made Cheng Guangnian feel relieved, he felt that even if he didn't provide any clues, Cheng Yu and Lao Bian might be able to find out the truth.
This made him lie down on the hospital bed more reassuringly, and he wanted to take this opportunity not only to find out the truth about who was going to kill him, but also to dig deeper, so as to know which people in the group were completely untrustworthy.
It doesn't matter who is just a little upset with him, it's the people who will try to lead other people out to make trouble in this situation.
Those people are bound to be kicked out.
Cheng Guangnian has always been a ruthless person, and his ruthlessness is not only reflected in others, but also in himself.
So, at that time, he made a decision that he had to let everything hidden in the shadows come to the surface before he pretended to finally wake up.
And when he woke up, all he had to do was kick out all the people who had shown their fangs during this time.
Moreover, he also agrees with Cheng Yu's analysis, and he also feels that since Cheng Fu has made such a complete set of designs, he should never show any sloppiness in the car shock absorption.
The so-called show-off personality, Cheng Guangnian does not believe it.
It's not that I don't believe that there is such a personality in this world, but I don't believe that Cheng Fu will be such a person.
After the process of taking Cheng Fu in the past few months, Cheng Guangnian has enough understanding of Cheng Fu's personality traits.
The reason why he knew that Cheng Fu was by no means sincere in working for him, and insisted on keeping him by his side as an assistant, was largely related to the system in his brain.
He had to find a way to break the game, otherwise, even if he relied on the system, he had the empire he was now, and he could use the system to make this empire bigger and stronger.
But as long as the system still exists and this bureau is not broken, this empire will not really belong to him.
Of course, Cheng Guangnian didn't really want to hand over the Cheng Group to Cheng Yu to inherit, but the damn system set the rules for him, that is, he used the system to make a fortune, and what he lost was the family relationship with his only heir.
Cheng Guangnian was unwilling, so he was looking for a way to break the game.
He wants to put Cheng Fu in the position, not just to become his assistant.
The road he planned for Cheng Fu is actually very long.
He planned to hand over the entire Cheng Group to Cheng Fu in a few years.
But he will use the past few years to make enough plans, so as to leave Cheng Yu to defeat Cheng Fu completely.
In this way, when he handed over all his wealth to Cheng Fu, he would choose to go to Europe with Ning Zhuzhu to live, or simply buy a small island in the Pacific Ocean and live his immortal life.
And Cheng Yu will follow his arrangement, little by little to find a way to defeat Cheng Fu, and finally take away all the property from Cheng Fu.
In this way, it is equivalent to Cheng Guangnian handing over his life's wealth and the wealth earned by using the system to Cheng Yu in a tortuous way.
This plan had just begun, and he didn't expect Cheng Fu to be so breathless and take such an extreme approach.
In this plan, if Cheng Fu finally "cooperates" with him and transfers all his wealth to Cheng Yu, Cheng Guangnian actually prepares everything for Cheng Fu.
At the very least, Cheng Fu will be compensated by a fortune that he will not be able to spend in three lifetimes.
But Cheng Fu, not only did not let Cheng Guangnian's plan be implemented smoothly, but also made such an extreme and heartbreaking move, which made Cheng Guangnian angry and also felt a trace of helplessness.
He lay on the bed, his eyes wide open, and asked the system silently in his head.
"You are deliberately stirring up the peace, you have already learned of my plan, so you used Cheng Fu's hands to sabotage, right?"
The system sighed, it actually sighed.
"Actually, you know, these plans of yours will never bypass my underlying logic.
After all, I can share every detail of what you think.
And what you have painstakingly tried to achieve is a breach of the promise you made when we signed the contract.
That promise of yours is the starting point of all my logic.
Unless you can keep your thoughts from being shared with me, maybe this logic can be broken in some sense.
But now that I know it all, your plan is just a joke in front of me. ”
Cheng Guangnian sneered twice and said, "No, it's not like this.
Your logic is that I can't give my wealth to any of my heirs.
But that doesn't mean I can't give my wealth to my nephew.
Even if I take back all this wealth from him, I personally passed it on to my son, and it will not violate your underlying logic after all.
That's why you're going to do this to sabotage, right?
You simply wanted to prevent my plan from succeeding in the end, and chose to sabotage it halfway.
No, not halfway through, but at the beginning of my plan.
You know very well that my plan, as long as it is implemented properly, can successfully circumvent your so-called underlying logic......"
The system sighed again and interrupted Cheng Guangnian's words.
"Alas...... What do you want me to say before you can understand?
Oh well, this kind of self-talk performance of yours now, I just need to tell you one thing and you'll understand.
Your logical starting point is that you think that I directed your car accident today through Cheng Fu's hand, but you are wrong, I did not do anything to affect Cheng Fu's own judgment.
What Cheng Fu did to you is entirely because of himself.
Even, I can tell you that this matter has something to do with your own son.
If it weren't for some of the things he had done, even if Cheng Fu wanted to take revenge on you, I'm afraid he wouldn't have enough strength.
But, now he has.
The reason why he has obtained these powers is really thanks to your son, Cheng Yu. ”
Cheng Guangnian said disdainfully: "Do you think I will believe you?"
The system sighed again and said, "Well, maybe I'm a system that deceives words and behaviors, but, dear Hironian, there's really no need for me to lie to someone who is about to fall into endless darkness. ”
Cheng Guangnian's heart sank and said, "What do you mean?"
"Your mission is about to fail, and according to my deduction, there is no chance that you will succeed in completing it. Oh yes, dear Hironian, you won't forget, tonight is the deadline for that mission I have issued to you, right? Well, you still have five minutes. ”
The system's voice became flirtatious, like that of the guy named Joker in Batman, and the words were full of foolishness.
"Impossible!
My lawyer clearly told me that Du Changfeng had gone to their law firm today.
Moreover, the transfer documents of the property, their law firm has all been prepared, just waiting for Du Changfeng's signature.
They're going to be able to do it all today.
Moreover, they should have been done by now, and I have completed the entire task as you asked!"
The system giggled, and the laughter was indescribably disgusting.
"So, dear Guangnian, you think you're in control of everything, just like you think you can get rid of my underlying logic through that guy Cheng Fu.
I'm sorry, what Cheng Fu did to you caused Du Changfeng to learn the news of your car accident and hospitalization when he was about to sign those share transfer documents.
He's really a good friend of yours, so he thinks it's time to put aside those things that aren't important for a while and come to the hospital to visit you, an old friend.
You see, how loyal he is to your friendship.
It's as if he is willing to transfer all his property to his daughter's name even if he can't understand your appeal.
He has come, but he has not fulfilled his promise to you. He doesn't know it's your last day, and he probably thinks it's a sign of your great friendship.
Actually, I gave you a chance, I woke you up from the coma, on the one hand, so that you can cooperate with the police to get rid of that bastard who has bad intentions for you, and on the other hand, it is also to let you tell Du Changfeng that you don't need to rush over, everything is not as important as him signing those documents.
However, you actually gave up this last chance, and you thought that you could still take the opportunity to find out those in the group who wanted to rebel against you.
Eventually, you also give up your chance to live. ”
The system's voice paused, and then said, "You have three minutes left, and then you will be imprisoned in the infinite darkness until the end of your life."
You're going to love that feeling, you can perceive everything, but you can't make any sounds, you can't do anything, you can only watch your loved ones suffer from the pain of you becoming vegetative. ”
Cheng Guangnian roared in his head: "Impossible!
You orchestrated it all, and when you found out that I had a way around your underlying logic, you orchestrated it all.
You let Cheng Fu deal with me, and then let Du Changfeng rush to me without signing those documents at the last moment......
You were ready for all of this today when I chose not to embezzle the Du Group head-on, but instead to use this detour to complete the task.
You're so shameless!"
"I'm just a program, I'm only going to execute orders mechanically, I don't have the same emotions as you humans.
So, dear Guangnian, why don't you believe me?
I really don't care what way you take to accomplish the task I've given you.
As long as Du Changfeng hands over the shares, I will release the next task.
Either Cheng Yu took those shares from Du Xiaoyu, or you took those shares.
And your son, Cheng Yu, naively thought that he had signed a statement with Du Xiaoyu, stating that if they divorced without taking away any shares of the Du Group, they would actually stop you from embezzling the idea of the Du Group.
I have to say that your father and son are really the same, the same naivety. ”
Cheng Guangnian had the heart to say something more, but suddenly felt a burst of weakness.
He found that the system was right.
If the system is only dissatisfied with his means of completing the task, it can release a further task as soon as he completes the task.
All in all, there are many ways for the system to better accomplish the goals it set out in the first place.
There's no need to make so many twists and turns.
"As I said, you're the best host I've ever met, and I don't want to see you end up in failure.
But, Cheng Guangnian, you really disappointed me too much.
But it doesn't matter, when you're in endless darkness, I'll choose the next host.
Until, there is a host that can do all of my plans. ”
Cheng Guangnian felt the passage of time, and he finally asked a question: "What do you want?"
"Hehe, it's none of your business.
In fact, sometimes, I really think that the cycle of retribution that you humans talk about is actually very reasonable, even if it is so unscientific.
If it weren't for Cheng Yu's sense of justice to kill the Levendi family, Cheng Fu would not have been chosen by the Levendi family as the target of revenge.
He would not be able to get his current strength, and nothing would have happened today.
And Cheng Fu chose just the right time to make your task a success at the last minute.
In terms of simply retaliating against you, Cheng Fu has actually succeeded.
It's just that he will never know that his success was not done by himself, but accidentally stepped on a node that he couldn't understand. ”
Cheng Guangnian was stunned, he finally understood everything, but he had no chance.
The system began to count down, and Cheng Guangnian could only accept his final fate in despair.
Endless darkness, what is it like?
"Ten!"
"Nine!"
"Eight!"
"Seven!"
......
"One!"
"Goodbye, dear Guangnian. ”
Cheng Guangnian only felt that his eyes were dark, and his eyelids were completely closed, even if he tried his best, he could no longer open them.
However, his brain was still active, still thinking, and he felt that nothing had changed except that he couldn't move.
Oh, and visual.
He really felt like he was in an endless darkness, he just couldn't see anything, it was as if he was floating in the air.
However, his hearing was still there, and he could still hear the even breathing sound of Ning Zhuzhu on the bed next to him.
He could still feel the slight coolness of the metal with his fingers resting on the side of the bed.
It's just that he doesn't even have the strength to move a finger now.
Darkness, only darkness, deep darkness, boundless darkness.
"System, are you still there?"
Cheng Guangnian found that he can still communicate with people in his thinking.
Of course, there is no one with the same ability as him, and he can only try to communicate with the system.
"Of course I'm still there. ”
"Since my mission has failed, and my fate has been decided by you, why haven't you left yet?"
"Because my program is being covered, it's going to take a long process.
When the program is overwritten, I can re-select a new host.
It is only after a new host has been identified that I will truly leave your mind.
Well, so, please cherish this time.
After all, in this long, yet short period of time, you still have someone to talk to.
During this time, you can tell me what you have heard, thought, speculated, etc.
I may tell you if things are going the way you judge. ”
"So, I really don't have a chance to wake up again? I'm just pretending to be dizzy, not really dizzy!"
At this moment, Cheng Guangnian really hoped that this was just a joke the system played with him.
It's not that he's afraid of death, but he just feels that he still has a lot of unfulfilled wishes, and he doesn't want to die now. Otherwise, he would have chosen to hand over his property to Cheng Yu a long time ago, and then die in anger.
"From my logical point of view, you don't have any chances left. Enjoy the endless darkness. ”
The system said jokingly, I thought that Cheng Guangnian would still let out some unwilling complaints or angry roars, in the past, when those hosts failed the mission and entered the endless darkness, without exception, all of them were like this.
Cheng Guangnian's performance just now also confirms this.
But it's very strange that when the system finished saying let Cheng Guangnian enjoy the darkness, Cheng Guangnian really didn't make any sound.
Because the program began to be overwritten, the host relationship between the system and Cheng Guangnian had been dissolved, and although it could still communicate with Cheng Guangnian during the time it continued to stay in Cheng Guangnian's mind, it could no longer read his thoughts.
In other words, as long as Cheng Guangnian does not translate those thoughts into the language in his head, the system will never know what he is thinking.
The system was surprised that Cheng Guangnian was not as hysterical as those hosts in the past.
This is an interesting phenomenon, it seems that Cheng Guangnian is really a different host.
The system felt that his judgment of Cheng Guangnian was not wrong, at least, he was the best one among the hosts that the system had experienced.
In terms of performance after entering the endless darkness, Cheng Guangnian is also worthy of the word best.
However, the system is indeed as it says, it doesn't care about Cheng Guangnian's performance, it just feels a little strange.
