Chapter 7

The library under the sunset was shaded by dense trees, and the light was dim.

To be honest, Su Liang came here occasionally a few times before, and felt that the atmosphere of the old library was a little gloomy. Today's library is even more quiet and less crowded. There is no one in the huge lending room. The only sound is the automatic robots that are busy everywhere in the library, and the hissing from gears and sliding belts that have not been maintained for a long time. Hiss, from a distance, it sounded like some ghosts whispering in the dark.

However, staying in such an old library, Su Liang never felt uneasy at all. On the contrary, he even felt more relaxed and comfortable here than anywhere else.

It was an indescribable feeling.

Su Liang leaned on the back of the chair, looking at the rustling bushes outside the window, enjoying the soft touch of the breeze blowing on his cheeks, from his fingers to his hair, he couldn't help but relax. Obviously, he came to read the book on purpose, but Su Liang was a little distracted, and the whole person fell into an inexplicable laziness.

Su Liang has not been so relaxed for a long time.

Whether it was in his previous life or in this life, Su Liang was tensing his nerves almost all the time. In the last life, the elopement with Lu Zhizhao was stupid and difficult decision. In this life, if he wants to change the trajectory of his life, the clockwork in Su Liang's heart is even tighter.

Study hard.

To help my sister and brother-in-law leave the Lu family.

Save money.

Find a way to distance yourself from Lu Zhizhao and Ning Jiayi...

There are so many things that Su Liang has to face, and he can't bear to breathe at all.

Until this moment, he was sitting in the empty old library, and his restless heart became quiet little by little.

He didn't even notice that he was casually flipping the pages of his fingertips, but his body was getting closer and closer to the window.

The wind is cool.

There is a faint, unusually faint smell floating in the air. The smell reminded Su Liang of moist fog, moss, and the incense buried in ice and snow.

The aroma has become so faint that it is almost impossible to distinguish, but Su Liang still thinks it smells good.

Whoever left the perfume here before?

Su Liang thought.

If only I could find out what perfume it is - Su Liang, who is not interested in perfume at all, regrets it at this moment.

The smell made Su Liang feel a little familiar. It seemed like a long, long time ago, somewhere he had smelled it.

But Su Liang tried his best to think about it, but he still didn't remember it.

But in any case, even if it was just because of the fragrance in the air at the moment, and the silence and tranquility of the entire library, Su Liang was willing to stay here.

However, it didn't take long for his communicator to light up, it was news from Lu Zhizhao.

[Little Liang, we need to talk. 】

Lu Zhizhao came to several newsletters, from the message, it seems that something happened.

Su Liang frowned slightly as he stared at the screen, and his original good mood faded instantly.

[What? 】

He replied.

Lu Zhizhao's news this time came quickly: [Little Liang, I'm at the gate of Xingchuan, let's meet and talk. 】

Su Liang looked at this sentence and lowered his eyes.

[Good. 】He said, and then he sighed.

Although he didn't want to see Lu Zhizhao, Su Liang also felt that it might be better to take this opportunity to clarify some things with Lu Zhizhao face to face.

Packing up his things, Su Liang suppressed the slight resistance in his heart and quickly left the old library.

But when he stepped down the steps of the library door, he suddenly felt that the back of his neck swelled slightly. Inexplicably, Su Liang felt that someone was staring at him behind him.

Su Liang subconsciously turned his head and looked behind him, but the lonely library hall was still empty.

"Is it an illusion?"

Su Liang muttered, he frowned, rubbed his neck casually, and continued to walk outside.

The slender and dull beta naturally wouldn't know that on the top floor of the old library, in a dark and hidden room, a man took his eyes back from the front of the old library.

This is a very tall and thin man, with pale skin, hair and eyes as dark as night, his facial features are extremely handsome and deep, and his beauty is almost evil.

However, no matter who he is, when he sees him, it is difficult to perceive his beauty.

Because the aura around this man is too terrifying.

Even if you just look at him, the survival instinct that belongs to animals deep in people's bodies will immediately come into play. In the face of intense fear and a sense of crisis about life and death, no one can separate the spirit to pay attention to the beauty and ugliness on the outside.

In addition, the man's attire at the moment is actually quite strange.

Something similar to the exoskeleton metal spine is like a steel monster, firmly covering the man's back to the back of the neck.

Several metal tubes with the thickness of fingers sprung out directly from the metal parts and stuck into the blood vessels on the back of the man's neck.

This man even had his fingers tightly bound, as if he really was some kind of vicious and terrifying criminal.

But the temperament and expression he showed when he was sitting on the old old wooden chair reminded people of a certain extreme centralized power thousands of years ago, who held the supreme power and all life and death, a violent king.

A dusty window was beside the man, and a slit was opened slightly.

"Huh? There are still human activities in the library area? Are the people sent from Canaan looking for death again?"

A brisk synthetic mechanical sound rang in the room.

Complex symbols and data flashed on the screen of the machine.

From the appearance point of view, the person who is talking is a standard A-K125 housekeeping android.

However, even the most high-end housekeeping robot cannot crack the firewall of the machine in front of it as quickly as it does, nor can it have such a humanized conversation.

"No."

The man responded to the doubts of a special android for the first time.

The android instantly raised his voice.

"Wow, this is interesting, in theory, as long as you show up, normal humans will stay away from your area based on survival instinct even unconsciously. Of course I'm not described as a kind of biological weapon, but our current confinement device is really difficult to control the overflow of your spiritual power. It is also an inevitable result that you will become hateful. Think about those poor Alpha assassins, the few I just caught a few days ago, they were scared to pee their pants before they could get close to the inner courtyard... Are you really sure that the humans that can still walk in your domain are not some advanced biological weapons?"

"Just a wild cat."

The man said lightly.

He didn't seem to have any extraneous feelings for someone who shouldn't be in his realm.

Those who are familiar with him will know how eccentric he is at the moment - while he spoke flatly, he tapped the arm of the chair with his fingers very lightly, a secret command In an instant, it was sent to everyone under his command through the built-in communication device. In the bushes of the old library, in the shadow of the building, in the trap under the shade of the tree... The top private guards lurking in the dark stopped all movements the moment they received the order.

It is precisely because of the man's acquiescence that the slender and dull figure was able to leave the old library very calmly and safely step by step.

The man's movements cannot be hidden from the android beside him. After all, it should actually be called one of the top artificial intelligences in the entire Earth Federation.

Realizing that the man had directly revoked the order to "kill all unauthorized personnel who enter the old library", the android's eyes began to sparkle.

"Wild cat?" Its head suddenly turned 180 degrees, and its dull plastic face stared at the man, "You are talking about the kind of two-legged, very, very beautiful human. Yes... ah, what a pity, it turned out to be a beta... wild cat?"

While uttering a strange gossip tone with a strange electronic synthesizer, the android detached a detecting tentacle from his body and shook it at the window.

"How come I didn't know you like cats?"

It muttered.

Then the tentacle snapped back to its original position instantly.

"You can't even look at it? Are you too stingy?"

The AI ​​complained dissatisfiedly.

It continues to crack the firewall of the machine in front of it.

The man did not respond.

He was as gloomy and indifferent as ever.

He had closed his eyes slightly at this time, and he did not make any explanation for his strange reaction at that moment.

The light and soft breeze blew past the window, bringing with it a very light fragrance.

But it does exist.

So, in the golden-red twilight, the man who had been tortured by the disease for a long time felt a little relief after a long absence.

He felt that today's wind was very comfortable, and when it was blowing on his body, the severe pain that had been entangled in his limbs and bones seemed to have faded a lot.
