Delta Operation: Big Red Objects Mutate

"I just wanted you to live! What did I do wrong?"

"Wasn't turning you into this a last resort?"

"If I release your consciousness back into your bodies and leave this place, what will you do?"

"Can you defeat Hafk?"

"In the end, he still couldn't escape death!"

"You don't hate Liu Yan, who killed you all, but you treat me coldly every time I come here, even though I saved you all!"

"Why?"

"Old Chuang, have I spent less time with you than you have with Liu Yan?"

"Leaving aside what the two of us did, do you only have feelings for him?"

Although Fudge could not hear Zhao Chuang's voice.

But Zhao Chuang could hear Fudge's voice clearly.

Even so, he remained seated, head bowed.

“Mr. Fudge, your father is calling you from behind.”

Just then, Meiling's reminder came to Fudge's mind.

Fudge subconsciously turned around and met Cai Ning's blurry figure behind him.

Cai Ning still had messy curly hair and a bundle of cigarettes formed from a phantom in her mouth.

"...dad."

"Mr. Fudge, would you like to enable the feature that allows you to hear only your father's voice?"

"Received, it has been activated for you."

In some cases, Mei-ling's inquiries do not require a response from Fudge.

Because it knows what Fudge is thinking.

Cai Ning pointed to a corner.

"Let's talk over there."

Fuji nodded and followed Cai Ning over.

The two walked to a corner, and Cai Ning sat down on a chair formed by a phantom.

Fudge, on the other hand, sat on the ground.

Apart from the bio-pods, all the facilities here are designed solely for consciousness.

All kinds of entertainment facilities, daily necessities, and food to satisfy the taste buds are readily available.

However, if a physical entity were to come here, all that would be there is boundless emptiness.

"Tell me, what brings you here this time? Is it because the time machine you mentioned last time is complete?"

In response to Cai Ning's question, Fuji nodded.

"I don't know how long it will take..."

"I wanted to come and see you all..."

"But they..."

Fudge tried hard to control himself so that he didn't sound like he was about to cry while speaking.

Cai Ning also sighed helplessly.

After finishing the pack of cigarettes in his mouth, Cai Ning threw them all aside and lit another pack.

"Hmm, smoking cyber cigarettes, living a cyber life, feels good."

Cai Ning had wanted to do this for a long time.

However, my body couldn't handle smoking like that, and cigarettes were extremely scarce when the disease struck.

Unlike now, where you can draw an unlimited number of times and it's an endless cycle.

"Son, you don't need to care what they say."

"After all, we're long gone."

Upon hearing this, Fuji's expression changed, and he looked at Cai Ning with some disbelief.

The reason is simple: although Cai Ning is not as cold and harsh towards Fuji as she is towards others.

But it was also filled with disappointment.

This is why Fudge also placed Cai Ning here.

If Cai Ning were to go out, she would do the exact same things as everyone else.

But this time, Cai Ning's tone was... much gentler than before.

Although these words also imply a desire to distance oneself from the situation...

Even so, it has been so many years.

This was the first time Fudge had heard a gentle tone of voice other than Meiling's.

"Dad... do you understand me now?"

Fudge asked tentatively.

Cai Ning shook her head decisively.

"I don't understand, but it's too late for me to level up an alt account."

"Didn't you expect this outcome from the beginning?"

“If you join Hafk and ignore us, then nothing will happen.”

"But you joined Hafk and saved us."

“At first, we all assumed you had some kind of plan and were fully committed to cooperating with you.”

“But…you have no plan, no intention.” Cai Ning shook his head helplessly.

These words, however, thoroughly provoked Fudge.

"What about Liu Yan?! Does he have a plan?"

"A gentleman judges by actions, not intentions. Have I done anything that wronged you or them?"

"Does what Liu Yan did have the right to face us?"

"Why is no one speaking ill of Liu Yan, but instead everyone is pointing the finger at me?"

"Just because he's gone? We don't know where he went?"

"I don't believe Liu Yan is dead! Even if Liu Yan's name isn't found on any of those items, I still don't believe Liu Yan is dead!"

"Because his name wasn't on the resuscitation ventilator!"

Seeing that Cai Ning was just silently smoking, Fudge continued to shout relentlessly:

"Don't forget how you died!"

"Number 66666 was his soldier! He killed you on Liu Yan's orders!"

Hearing this, Cai Ning stopped smoking, slowly looked up at Fuji, and said, word by word:

"If Liu Yan's true intention was to kill me..."

"Then I won't die."

Fudge froze on the spot, his face full of confusion.

"What do you mean?"

“I only thought of this recently.” Cai Ning’s eyes were deep and her tone was very serious.

"Once, Liu Yan made a wish, and that wish was for me to live."

"So when I face a lot of attacks, even if I don't dodge, I will somehow manage to avoid them."

"Even if Reis attacks me right in the face, I can dodge it by various coincidences."

"But when number 66666 killed me... it was just one shot, and I died."

"This shows that doing this will lead to my survival..."

"If the goal was really to kill me, then the shot from number 66666 couldn't have hit me so easily."

Do you understand?

Listening to what Cai Ning said, Fuji felt that he should replace his brain with a mechanical one.

He can't understand it.

In other words, someone wanted you to live, so they killed you?

"Meiling, analyze this..."

Left with no other choice, Fudge spoke in his mind.

“Yes, Mr. Fudge.”

After Meiling finished speaking, she remained silent for a long time.

This was also the first time Fudge had encountered such a situation, and Meiling needed so much time to deduce and understand it.

"Analysis results, Mr. Fudge: Your father is a severe case of PUA."

"It's also similar to believers, followers, this kind of..."

"Alright, stop talking." Fudge interrupted Meiling.

Then, he looked at Cai Ning.

"Dad, you're getting senile."

"Do you think what you just said makes sense? Is it logically consistent?"

"I saved you. Liu Yan also wanted to kill me, but he failed."

"If I don't save you, you will really die!"

Cai Ning looked at Fuji, who was speaking with some agitation, and shook her head helplessly.

Finally, he slowly stood up.

"He is my brother."

"I believe in him."

After saying that, Cai Ning walked straight into the distance.

Fudge was left sitting alone on the ground.

"You're all living in a fantasy world!!!"

"It's even worse than those Xia people who were given brainwashing machines! At least they are happy!"

"They can switch between fantasy and reality at any time!"

"But you are living purely in a fantasy!"

"Did Liu Yan put a brainwave implant in you?! That he'd make you use it to manipulate yourselves like this?!"

"He's your brother!"

"I'm still your son, you son of a bitch!!!"

Fudge could no longer bear it and shouted loudly.

His voice was loud, filling the entire mountaintop.

But no one answered him; everyone was busy with their own things.

Fudge gave a bitter laugh.

"I should have known better; I shouldn't have come to see you."

"Just watch, sooner or later I will find Liu Yan and confront him face to face."
