Collapse Iron: I just transmigrated! You want me to save the Black Tower?!

But he couldn't stop. Every time he closed his eyes, he would see the end just around the corner. But he dared not relax, because he was afraid that if he relaxed, the string would never be taut again.

"Jiang Jiu."

Hei Ta reached out and stroked his cheek, speaking slowly and deliberately.

"You are a human being, not a god."

"You can't take on everything yourself."

You need to learn to forgive yourself.

Chapter 258 Aha's charm is so strong that even Aha himself likes himself!

"Let yourself go?"

"Was I wrong about something?" Hei Ta followed the posture and hugged Jiang Jiu directly.

"You walked too fast, so fast that I couldn't keep up, so fast that you forgot to look back."

“You are not alone. You have me, the train crew, and many, many other people. You have never been alone. You don’t have to take on everything by yourself.”

Jiang Jiu didn't utter a single word in rebuttal.

He gently hugged the black tower and hummed in agreement.

"you're right."

Even if he knew perfectly well that having more people wouldn't make a difference.

If we're talking about the previous lines, those without the strength of an Envoy wouldn't even qualify to participate.

Even if you're an envoy, you won't get a ticket to that route.

He held Heita on the sofa for a while, and only when the person in his arms was breathing gradually calmed down did he gently pick Heita up.

With his current strength, it would be too easy for him to avoid alerting the Black Tower.

Of course, it's also possible that the Black Tower itself had no wariness of him, which is why it allowed him to act as he pleased.

He took two steps while carrying the Black Tower and stepped into a small, distorted space. When he came out, he was already in the Black Tower's room on the space station.

The Black Tower's room was surprisingly well-furnished, quite different from her laboratory. Several pages of paper covered with formulas were spread out on her desk, and a pen lay beside it, as if the owner had just left.

The bed was made neatly, the blankets were folded in an orderly fashion, and a small black figure sat beside the pillow. Upon seeing this, he very consciously pulled back the blankets.

Black Tower, such a proud person, was now quietly nestled in his arms, like a cat that had finally sheathed all its claws.

Jiang Jiu put her on the bed.

He moved slowly, first on her shoulders, then her waist, and finally her legs...

Black Tower's head fell onto the pillow, her hair spreading out and covering the light-colored surface. One of her hands was still holding his, not letting go, as if afraid he would leave.

Sleeping Beauty Tower

Jiang Jiu did not leave.

He simply sat on the edge of the bed, gently placed her hand under the covers, and then tucked the blanket in.

Changing clothes and such was all left to Little Black Tower to handle.

Jiang Jiu raised his hand and turned off the light, then stared at the Black Tower from the bedside for a long time.

Her eyelashes, the bridge of her nose, her slightly pursed lips, and that softness that is usually hidden by pride and sharpness, only revealed when she is asleep...

After a long time, he suddenly leaned down and placed a kiss on her forehead.

It was very light, as if afraid of waking her, or as if afraid she would never wake up.

The moment the lips touched skin, Black Tower's eyelashes trembled, but she didn't open her eyes. She just shrank further into the blankets, as if she sensed something.

Jiang Jiu straightened up, looked at her, and suddenly smiled.

The laughter was very soft, without any sound, only the slight curve of the corners of the mouth and the emotions that were finally no longer suppressed in the eyes.

"Thank you, Black Tower."

Jiang Jiu sat for a while longer, then stood up.

His fingers slid through her hair without pausing, merely feeling the warmth of those strands, before withdrawing his hand and turning away.

The moment Jiang Jiu stepped out of the room.

The Great Black Tower, which should have been fast asleep, opened its eyes.

She sat up, stared at the door for a while, and the corner of the blanket slipped off her shoulder, revealing her thin nightgown.

The doll beside her pillow tilted its head and looked at her, as if asking what was wrong.

The Great Black Tower ignored it, simply sitting there, staring at the closed door.

After watching for a while, Heita leaned back against the headboard and stared at the ceiling.

She was thinking about the way Jiang Jiu had looked at her just now, that cautious look, as if he was afraid of waking her up or something.

It's like looking at something that could break at any moment.

This realization made Daheita feel uneasy.

She hated this feeling.

She didn't need anyone to look at her that way, nor did she need his pity.

She is the Black Tower, the Genius Club #83, the Intellectual Envoy, the creator of the simulated universe; she has never been a vase that needs to be protected.

Although Jiang Jiu's eyes did not show any contempt for her, and he never treated her as a fragile thing, his cautious attitude was never because he thought she was weak, but simply because he was afraid of losing her.

He's clearly someone who has the ability to start over at any time...

With that thought in mind, she closed her eyes.

My thoughts wandered elsewhere.

At the same time, the little black tower doll that had been sitting obediently with its head down on Jiang Jiu's shoulder quietly opened its eyes.

......

After leaving the Black Tower room, Jiang Jiu did not stay at the Black Tower space station at all.

He found a deserted planet nearby and waved the mask in his hand.

"Aha, are you there?"

He shook the mask violently, almost creating an afterimage.

"Aha, I know you're watching, come out, come out."

The mask swayed in Jiang Jiu's hand for a long time before finally reacting.

The smile on that Nuo mask suddenly cracked little by little, from the corner of the mouth to the ear, and then from the ear to the back of the head. The entire mask seemed to be stretched open from the inside by something, and finally, with a snap, it shattered into two halves.

Jiang Jiu looked at the two halves of the mask in his hand and remained silent for two seconds.

"..."

Then he heard laughter.

It wasn't coming from the mask; it was surging in from all directions, as if the whole planet was laughing.

"Hahahahahaha...!!" Aha's voice came from all directions, with that carefree and joyful spirit, "You little madman, you're making Aha dizzy! Dizzy!"

Jiang Jiu looked down at the two halves of the mask in his hand, somewhat speechless.

He looked up at Aha: "Are you avoiding me?"

"hide?"

Aha's voice drifted over from the left.

"Why would Aha hide? Aha is just thinking! Thinking, don't you understand!"

The sound drifted over from the right again.

"Aha is very busy! Busy finding fun! Busy watching plays! Busy..."

"Busy watching my good show," Jiang Jiu finished speaking for Him.

Aha's laughter paused for a moment, then grew louder.

"Hehe, Aha thought you'd be spending a long time cuddling with your girlfriend, but you couldn't wait to come back to Aha after just a short while."

"Aha knows that Aha's charm is just too powerful, so powerful that even Aha himself likes himself!"

The topic was getting more and more off track with Aha.

Jiang Jiu decided to take the initiative to steer the conversation back on track.

"Aha, why did you take me to see those things? What do you want me to know?"

A genuine look of confusion appeared on Ah's large mask.

"Huh? What did Aha show you? How come Aha doesn't know?"

"newborn."

Jiang Jiu said earnestly, "The death and rebirth of the universe."

......

(I need to take the day off tomorrow)

(P.S.: Whose Shen He was interrogated for eight hours straight???)

Chapter 259 For new life to sprout, its seed must be dead.

newborn.

The death and rebirth of the universe.

The smile on Aha's mask remained unchanged, but the laughter stopped.

It was a strange feeling, like a song that was playing forever was suddenly paused, and for a moment the whole world went silent.

"Freshmen?" Aha repeated, his voice returning to its usual cheerful tone, as if savoring the word. "Aha showed you the freshmen? Aha doesn't remember."
