Chapter 248 Symbiosis
Shi Chu looked at the face buried deep in his memory, standing there stiffly.
It turned out that he was still alive and he was not alone in the Federation.
She had company in this world.
She is not alone.
"Don't cry."
The young man had walked to her side without her knowing. He leaned over and wiped away the tears that flowed from her eyes with his hand. He hugged her carefully and cherishingly, and raised his hand to pat her back gently.
The girl hugged his waist tightly, buried her head in his arms, and her body trembled slightly.
After a long while, she spoke softly, her voice a little hoarse and tearful.
"...Brother Xiaojiu."
She hugged the person in front of her tightly, afraid that all this was just an illusion. She buried her head in his chest and didn't want to lift it up. She just shouted in a muffled voice to confirm whether what she saw was real.
"Yes, I'm here, I'm still alive, Eleven, we are all alive." Dongfang Shou gently stroked the girl's black hair and coaxed her gently in a low voice.
The scalding tears soaked the clothes on his chest, burning this body that was recreated using energy.
He only felt that his heart in his chest was beating wildly, and the girl's tears burned several big holes. The joy of reunion after a long separation was mixed with an indescribable feeling of bitterness, which made his heart ache uncontrollably.
He remembered that she never cried before. Even during those horrific transformation experiments, she would just smile and comfort herself by saying that she was not in pain.
Eleven, she came to this strange world alone, she must be very confused and lonely, but she never showed it.
She was alone in a foreign land, all her friends and relatives had died, her former home was no longer there, and this was just a completely unfamiliar world to her. Even with the help of the Dongfang family, her heart was still lonely, and no one could enter her world.
She suffered a lot here.
Dongfang Shou put his arm around the girl's thin shoulders, said nothing, just patted her back gently, comforting her silently.
The sun shone on the two people who were hugging each other tightly, kissing them gently.
Yin Xu, who followed behind, looked at the scene in front of him, but did not dare to get close. He just stood silently not far away.
His eyes fell on the girl's hands tightly hugging each other, then he silently retracted his gaze and looked down at the ground.
That person must be very important to the master.
The master's attitude towards him is different from that towards everyone else, it's like... they are the closest and most important people to each other, and outsiders cannot interfere.
They are the people of one world. Others can only watch from afar. There is a thick transparent wall between them, blocking them from the outside. They can only watch from afar and can never touch them.
He bit his lips in fear, and a sense of panic rose in his heart.
Will she abandon herself for this man?
Dongfang Shou also noticed the person who followed Shi Chu out. He just glanced at the two of them lightly, his gaze lingering on the gray-haired man for a moment, then immediately retracted his gaze and focused on the girl in his arms.
She knew everything that happened to her in the Federation after she woke up.
They are just unimportant people.
For him, only eleven is the most important.
They are family, a family that will be together forever.
As for other people, he didn't care at all, as long as she was happy.
Because he knew that in this world, they were the most important people to each other, and those people would never be able to surpass his status in her heart, they were just a group of insignificant people.
If she wants, there's nothing wrong with having a pet.
After a brief loss of control, Shi Chu immediately returned to normal. She raised her head from the other person's arms and wiped the remaining tears from her face.
A brilliant smile bloomed at the corners of her lips, like the scorching sun breaking through the dark clouds, or like the flowers blooming in spring, bright and beautiful.
After venting the emotions that had been suppressed for so long, the invisible haze dissipated, and her whole body became brighter, emitting a dazzling light, making her even more eye-catching.
"Let's go, let's find a place to reminisce about the past. You must still have a lot of questions in your mind. I will tell you everything I know." He took the girl's hand and led her forward.
"Yeah." Shi Chu followed him away, then remembered something and waved to the people behind him.
Yin Xu, who was originally frightened and panicked, felt a lump in her throat when she saw this. Her attitude towards herself did not change because of this person who suddenly appeared.
He felt both bitter and happy in his heart. He blinked his moist eyes, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes hastily, ran towards the girl quickly, and followed closely behind her.
Dongfang Shou just glanced at him, then withdrew his gaze indifferently, took Shi Chu's hand, and slowly walked towards the villa in the distance.
……
Dongfang family residence, living room.
After sending everyone else away, only two people were left in the room.
Shi Chu looked at the familiar face in front of him and still found it a little hard to believe.
She really didn't expect to meet an old friend in the Federation, and it was Brother Xiaojiu who meant so much to her and was like a family member to her.
Until this moment, she still felt that everything that had just happened was just a dream, a mirage that would shatter at the slightest touch.
"God back."
Dongfang Shou smiled and waved his hand in front of her eyes, then he took her hand and pressed it against his heart: "Did you hear that? My heart is beating for you. I am real, and this is not a dream."
"Eleven, I am indeed still alive."
He held the girl's hand and slowly told her what had happened to him over the years.
"Back then, after you died, the King Beast used his last breath to explode himself, and everyone present died, including me."
He paused, then continued, "But I'm not really dead. Do you still remember my abilities?"
"Symbiosis?"
Shi Chu immediately realized, could it be that he survived because he had symbiotic relationship with someone?
"Yes, I became symbiotic with Tianxing. The Alliance implanted Tianxing's subprogram in all of our brains. At the moment of my death, my subconscious desire to survive made me activate my symbiotic ability, and then... I successfully became symbiotic with Tianxing."
He looked at the girl in front of him who didn't seem surprised and smiled: "It seems that you knew a long time ago that Tianxing has its own consciousness."
Symbiosis can only be used on objects with self-awareness within a certain range.
He had never noticed anything unusual about Tianxing before. Perhaps no one in the entire alliance had discovered that the artificial intelligence most trusted by mankind actually had its own consciousness.
It was hidden very well and I only discovered it because of this accident. As for Eleven, she must be very special to Tianxing. Even the fact that I was able to successfully coexist with Tianxing and survive was thanks to her.
With Tianxing's means, it would be easy for it to break free from the symbiotic link, but instead of doing so, it acquiesced to devouring its power to strengthen itself and maintain its immortal consciousness.
Shichu nodded and said calmly, "Yes, I know."
Tianxing had never deliberately concealed anything in front of her. Perhaps, he felt that she posed no threat, or perhaps... he trusted himself.
