We moved to Golden Courtyard

44. Mei, for the rest of my life, please take care of me.

A week has passed since the brake failure incident of the 956.

Naturally, Xu Qi shouldn't expect any leisure time during this week.

While in the hospital, he was frequently visited by city leaders and harassed by numerous reporters. Even... people from the central government came looking for him.

They said they would select him as one of the top ten people who moved China this year.

Xu Qi refused outright from his hospital bed, explaining that he hoped to have some peace and quiet for the rest of his life.

Of course, there are also some things that must be mentioned.

For example... about his exoskeleton armor.

Logically speaking, the fact that such a completely prohibited military item has appeared among civilians should be subject to strict investigation—even if you just saved the lives of a trainload of people.

But... these matters were all left to Eden to handle.

It must be said that Eden's return was just in time.

On the surface, she may just be someone who can perform at the Vienna Golden Hall, has a net worth of about 100 billion, is a major shareholder of several luxury brands, and owns the world's second-largest media company.

Such an ordinary woman.

Even in situations requiring interaction with the state, Eden retains her hidden identity, allowing her to easily uncover all the anomalies exhibited by the Golden Courtyard during this incident.

Suppress them all.

Is she considered a rich woman?

Of course it counts.

But perhaps all the rich women in the world would be stripped of their richness in front of her.

It's truly hard to imagine that the owner of the Golden Courtyard would be such a remarkable woman of our time.

Another point worth mentioning is that while Xu Qi was stopping train 956, some minor incidents also occurred at the Golden Courtyard.

No one intended to hide it from Xu Qi.

According to what Pado saw when she returned home.

Golden butterflies fluttered in the air, while the terrorists with parachutes drifted down one by one like falling leaves.

Parachutes were their best shrouds.

The scene on the ground crowdfunding group 456127940 was even more terrifying. Pado said that when she got back, Jie Ge had already driven a cement truck over and was stuffing things into it.

Pado had no idea what Jie Ge had stuffed inside, but after receiving a "don't ask" reply, Jie Ge drove the cement truck to the construction site.

For a moment, Xu Qi felt that... he must be reading a novel.

Of course, when others see what he's doing, they probably feel like they're reading a novel.

Xu Qi did not stay in the hospital for long; he was discharged soon after.

The company very considerately told him that he could come back to work whenever he wanted, giving Xu Qi a full year of paid leave.

It's actually... pretty good.

Another piece of good news is that Mei has finally moved to the Golden Garden.

According to her, someone has to keep an eye on Xu Qi to prevent him from doing anything foolish again.

No, not this time... I really won't...

Of course, the best news is that Xu Qi and Mei have become a couple.

Upon learning this, everyone in the Golden Garden offered their blessings, after all... Mei, they were all familiar with her.

Only the simple-minded Gretchen asked a silly question: "So, is Mei-neechan going to sleep with Xu Qi-nii? Hmm... will Gretchen still be able to visit Xu Qi-nii at night and listen to his stories?"

Xu Qi still can't forget how blushed Mei's face was that day.

After all, he remembered it very clearly.

"If you survive, my body is yours."

Ok……

Xu Qi is looking forward to that day.

In this incident, the name "Anti-Entropy" kept appearing in Xu Qi's field of vision.

First of all, the professor definitely knew about the other person, and Möbius never intended to hide it. And judging from the reactions of everyone in the Golden Court...

They should have some understanding of this organization, more or less.

In that case, Xu Qi doesn't need to worry too much.

After all, the people who can live here are all monsters.

What? You mean me? How could I possibly be a monster? Xu Qi always thought he was just an ordinary person.

Yes, that's right.

An ordinary person who can withstand 20G of gravitational acceleration, has an exaggerated six senses, and has begun to develop mental power to some extent.

New Type?

Xu Qi will not admit to this.

So, in the end, it naturally comes down to... Char.

······

Inside the detention center, Xu Qi met Supervisor Xia Ya, who was wearing handcuffs.

He was as handsome as ever. Even though Xu Qi ruined all his plans in the end, you still couldn't see any sense of dejection in him.

"I'm surprised you would choose to come and see me."

Xia glanced at Xu Qi, then at Mei beside him, a smile on his face and a hint of joy in his eyes.

"This must be your girlfriend."

Mei's expression was very complicated, because she could tell that Xu Qi... still seemed to respect his master. He was both a master and a father.

What are your plans for the future?

"Isn't it a death sentence? Even the lightest sentence is life imprisonment."

However, Xu Qi just smiled at Xia Ya without saying a word.

And Char... he suddenly burst out laughing.

"Someone like you would never not have prepared a way out for yourself."

"Maybe... To be honest, I've thought a lot during this time in prison... I still stick to my beliefs because I think it's simply impossible for humans to understand each other."

Only by constantly enduring grief can humanity move forward. But... I won't do anything more. Your statement was very true, both the first and second parts.

"Which one?"

"Those who should truly be eliminated are those whose souls are bound by gravity."

This is the first half of the sentence.

"But many people will lose their lives because of this, which is undoubtedly a mistake! What's the point of creating a world that doesn't cherish the human spirit!"

This is the second half of the sentence.

Char agreed with both of these drastically different points.

"Actually, you really don't need to do anything anymore, Char."

"Ok?"

"Have you considered one possibility?" Xu Qi glanced at the surrounding surveillance cameras, then chose to remain silent instead of continuing.

But Xia seemed to have heard something; he sat there blankly, lost in thought.

"That concludes my visit. Goodbye... Master."

……

As they walked out of the detention center and got into the car, Mei suddenly asked a question.

"What did you say to Xia in the end?"

"You did sense it after all..."

Mei's lips curled up slightly, as if to say, "Who do you think I am?"

"At the end, I used the feature called NT Chat Room."

"New...Type?"

Even though Xu Qi had told her about it, Mei was still somewhat skeptical about such a thing.

"Yes, I told him..."

If one day all of humanity awakens to Newtypes and becomes new humans, capable of direct telepathic communication, does that mean that the day when all of humanity understands one another will arrive?

"Although it sounds unlikely, well... it's always a good thing for people to have dreams."

"You really dare to say that..."

Xu Qi suddenly turned his head to look at Mei.

"Mei."

"Ok?"

Xu Qi suddenly leaned forward and gave Mei a light peck on the lips.

He smiled as the girl's face turned completely red.

"Please guide me in the future."

45. I can lean on Aponia's shoulder, can you?

On the balcony outside the Golden Courtyard, Xu Qi sat peacefully in a deck chair, enjoying the tranquility of the moment.

A great hero? This title felt somewhat strange to Xu Qi. He wasn't the kind of person who valued fame and fortune; Ai Li's live stream had certainly made him incredibly popular.

Now, almost everyone in the country knows that there is such a madman who actually used an exoskeleton armor to push a subway train that couldn't stop.

Opinions on this matter are mixed online.

Many people mocked, "Is this just a show? Are you out of your mind? Only an idiot would think of pushing a cart. Laughable, you must have some serious mental illness to think of doing that."

Xu Qi has a very peaceful mindset; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to bask in the sun on the balcony like this now.

Some people say that Xu Qi will be joining Bilibili soon, so he should take this opportunity to grab a lot of traffic!

Hmm... it's hard to say.

Xu Qi can laugh it off, but Mei can't. She's still in the same room as Airi, specifically looking for those haters to argue with.

Oh no, am I going to become the "older brother"?

But Xu Qi immediately shook his head.

No, after all, I'm not that pretty.

As he was thinking about some random things, someone who surprised Xu Qi slightly slowly walked onto the balcony and came to his side.

Xu Qi turned his head, and the first thing that caught his eye was indeed the nun who always appeared compassionate, with her proud and magnanimous heart. Indeed, the ocean is vast because it embraces all rivers.

Today, Aponia didn't wear her nun's habit; instead, she was dressed casually, looking quite relaxed.

She reached out and placed her hand on Xu Qi's shoulder, speaking softly.

“I finally remembered that train brake failure incident… At that time, many children suffered too much despair, and many were sent to my church, wanting me to erase their memories.”

One of those children was named Xu Qi.

……

Aponia stared intently at Xu Qi.

"It's not a good thing that those desperate and painful memories have been rekindled, Xu Qi. You must have... endured a lot."
