Seeing that the secret was right in front of him, Chu Shici headed energetically towards the capsule cabin.
Before he had time to get close, Su Zheyan grabbed him and clenched him in his hands tightly.
Su Zheyan stood half a step away from the capsule. Neither approaching nor leaving.
Only Chu Shici’s head was exposed, and he tilted his head to look up at Su Zheyan curiously.
The male lead looked calm and was looking at the capsule quietly, wanting to go in and have a look, but he was worried.
Chu Shici looked around, “What’s the matter, Yan-ge, is there any danger inside?”
Su Zheyan glanced at the capsule, “There are black stones inside.”
Liu Qinglong said that Black Stone could kill clones, as well as humans born from the hatchery, and individuals who have undergone gender reassignment.
Su Zheyan didn’t know whether the black stone would affect the little robot, he thought for a while, and took out a small flashlight from his backpack.
Turned on the flashlight and threw it into the capsule. With a few bangs, the flashlight went out instantly, and plumes of black smoke came out.
Chu Shici obviously felt that the hand holding him tightened instantly, and Su Zheyan stepped back several steps, directly retreating to ten metres away.
He looked at the capsule cabin for a long time, then turned around and was about to leave.
Chu Shici knew that Su Zheyan was worried about him, he rubbed his fingers on the side of his face, his eyes were a little red.
Chu Shici’s mother died early, and he lived in a reorganised family. After his stepmother moved in, she brought with her two strange brothers. When he was a child, he was weak and sick. At first, his family took care of him and took him to the hospital. But the more times he fell sick, the more annoying it became.
He heard the stepmother complaining to his father over and over again, saying that he is a medicine jar, he might as well save the money for medical treatment to enrol his two elder brothers in cram schools. After that, when he got sick again, no one cared about him. He was lying at home with a high fever, listening to his brothers complain that the cram school was boring.
His mother was a dance teacher when she was alive. She felt that her son was talented and taught him Latin dance. She said he was a Latin dance genius and she was proud of him. After her death, Chu Shici could only practise in the living room. He wears Latin dance clothes and dances the dance his mother taught him. The two older brothers surrounded him and laughed and mocked him, calling him names like ass-twisting sissy.
He fought them and defended his dignity as a dancer. After his father came home after getting off work, he pressed him to the ground and gave him a good beating. Chu Shi resigned and ran away from home with scars all over his body. He was lying on a park bench, planning to be a tramp scavenger in the future.
But the elder brother who saved his life and invited him to eat fried noodles persuaded him to go home. He listened to whoever treated him well. But after returning home that night, his father broke his leg. He could no longer dance, and the brother who coaxed him back home was nowhere to be found.
Chu Shici actually didn’t feel much when he heard the news of his sudden death from the system.
Being dead is more comfortable than being alive, but to have a relative who loves to gossip, if they find out that his mobile phone is full of yellow waste*, they will probably say behind his back that he is selling ass and died messing around.
*(explicit materials)
Chu Shici fell deep into his memories, and his mood became worse and worse.
As soon as he lowered his head, Su Zheyan lifted it up.
Looking at Su Zheyan, Chu Shici saw a hint of worry in those blue eyes.
Su Zheyan felt that the state of the little robot was not right, he touched his listless little head, and the walking speed became faster.
Chu Shici stared at him for a while, “Do you not want to open that whole box of secrets for me?”
Su Zheyan walked forward without saying a word, Chu Shici took a deep breath, “Yan-ge, we came here with a purpose, it would be too bad if we didn’t go in and have a look. The things inside should be very important. You put me down, go in and have a look by yourself.”
No matter how much he tried to persuade him, it was useless, Su Zheyan was stubborn as a mule, and not even ten cows could pull him forward.
Seeing that he was getting farther and farther away from the capsule cabin, Chu Shici’s eyes became very hot. Although the male protagonist in this world is not good at expressing his feelings, he is really gentle.
He patted his pale fingers, raised his head and showed a bright smile: “Yan-ge, I know you are worried about me. In this way, you draw a circle for me on the ground, and I will squat inside and not go anywhere, until you come back to pick me up .”
In the end, he persuaded the stubborn male lead, sat in the circle he had drawn, and watched Su Zheyan enter the capsule.
While knitting a sweater, the system poked his head out to look around. It feels that the current scene seems familiar.
Parents send their children to kindergarten for the first time, both parties are so reluctant to part.
The system opened the data and looked at it. The male protagonist’s vitality is still at 79, but the vitality value of the host has risen to 10.

The capsule cabin is densely packed with black stones, and there is no place to step on.
Su Zheyan stepped on a stone and rummaged around, and finally saw what was under it.
There are diaries, newspapers, and some notebooks.
Su Zheyan organised the diaries one by one according to the date. He looked at it from beginning to end, and he couldn’t help but feel a little shocked in his usually calm eyes.
When discussing with Ah Ci, they thought that the Mastermind just travelled back to the past twenty years ago. But according to the diary, the Mastermind has travelled through at least ten times.
As early as when the Mastermind travelled through for the first time, Su Zheyan, who was wandering around in the Desolate Star, discovered the secrets of the black stone. Stuffing a large number of black stones into a small space will split time and space.
The outside of the cabin is the normal world, and the inside of the cabin is another space. The two sides don’t interfere with each other and don’t affect each other. Su Zheyan doesn’t understand the principle of this thing at all. Anyway, it is easy to use, so he will keep using it.
No matter how the Mastermind travels and to what time it travels to, the capsule cabin will not change. It stands in the wilderness, nothing can affect it, it is split into another independent space.
The past changes and the future will change with it.
Every time the Mastermind travels through, Su Zheyan will go back to the year when he was three years old, but no matter what time his life is at, it is always full of twists and turns.
The time recorded in the diary overlaps in many places but is also missing in many places. He has no way of knowing what the consequences of these time travels have been.
Su Zheyan can only capture the information related to himself, roughly guessing what happened every time with his imagination.
Amongst the many time travels by the Mastermind, about four of them, he came to Desolate Star for varying reasons. It is impossible to judge which event occurred first and which events occurred after. Whether there is a gap in the middle, he was not able to decipher.
During these four times, he discovered the secrets of the Black Stone and inadvertently split a space; deduced everything the Mastermind did, found Eve’s body and the suicide note she wrote before she died; found a way to destroy the Mastermind; The mastermind failed and was on the verge of a mental breakdown.
In a certain timeline, he recorded Eve’s suicide note and put it in the capsule.
Su Zheyan found the suicide note among the mountains of black stones.
This is what Eve said.
[I have created many artificial intelligences in my life, but the one I am most proud of is my daughter. I was worried that I would develop feelings for the AI, so I didn’t name her, just called her Mastermind. In this way, I can always remind myself that no matter how human she is, she is not human after all.]
[The Mastermind has an infinite lifespan and wisdom far beyond human beings. I am afraid that she will eventually go against human beings. At the beginning of creation, I gave her an instruction, ‘She was born to protect human beings, and everything she does is for the continuation and prosperity of human beings’. I didn’t expect this instruction to have such a big impact.]
[At that time, I was ambitious and built a space-time bridge, but the king persuaded me. Time is an irreversible river, and the future will not be changed by human will. We think we have our destiny in our hands, but we are just going to another timeline. Based on the current cognition of human beings, playing with time and space will only lead to unpredictable disasters.]
[The Mastermind is getting smarter and smarter, and her technology and cognition far exceed mine. I realised she wasn’t the present Mastermind anymore. Without my knowledge, she travelled from the future to the present via a space-time bridge.]
[I played a game with her and came to a sad conclusion. The reason why she travels through time and space countless times is because at a certain time in the future, she predicts that human beings will perish within a thousand years. She couldn’t prevent the extinction of human beings, but she had to carry out the orders, finally getting completely out of control.]
This letter is written in a different timeline, which was copied and recorded by Su Zheyan there. The handwriting is neat, as if it was printed by a machine.
But no matter how calm the recorder is, the reader can read Eve’s despair and regret from it.
[She forcibly planned the direction of human development, completely ignoring how many lives would be sacrificed. She launched a war in an attempt to expand the power of the empire, leading to endless wars in the interstellar world; she wanted to accelerate the evolution of human beings, but future humans turned into monsters; she developed technology at a high speed, and eventually artificial intelligence replaced human beings. I don’t know how many times she travelled through, and how many tragic consequences it caused. But instead of preventing the extinction of humanity, she messed up the timeline.]
Eve knew how to destroy the Mastermind, but died before she could execute it. Since Su Zheyan, who is on the same timeline as the suicide note, discovered the suicide note, he must know how to destroy it, but he failed to do so.
According to Eve, the Mastermind hid her past self in the pit in the southeast of the Desolate Star. Desolate Star is the graveyard of technology, but not the graveyard of technology in the future.
She added a layer of protection, and as soon as she stuffed herself into the hole, she started a great plan to save mankind.
The natural barrier of the Desolate Star cannot defeat her, and current human technology cannot explore the Desolate Star. Even if someone discovers her anomaly and wants to destroy her, they won’t be able to find her, and they won’t be able to get in.
She messes around casually, not even worrying that she will be found.
The mother, Ms. Xia, who was killed by her, killed her relatives righteously before she died, which made her feel bad.
She wrote at the end of the letter [The Mastermind is my child, I want to save my daughter from the endless cycle of reincarnation.]
The process to destroy all the processes of the Mastermind is written on the back.
Take the stone prepared by Eve, go to the pit in the southeast, and insert it into the Mastermind’s machine. Once the Mastermind of the past dies, the Mastermind of the future will disappear along with it.
Then find someone to destroy the space-time bridge once you have the time. Without this out-of-control artificial intelligence and space-time bridge, the world will develop as it should.
After reading the suicide note, Su Zheyan was silent for a while, then picked up the stone.
The Mastermind wants to prevent human extinction, he can understand that. But he wants to ask the Mastermind, how does the existence of beta hinder the development of human beings, and how can an artificial intelligence still engage in sexism.
He folded Eve’s letter and clenched the stone in his hand, feeling an invisible burden on his shoulders. Heavy, but fulfilling.
Su Zheyan is very clear that all life will go through the process from birth to death.
Human beings after a thousand years may just come to an end. Like other species, they will experience vicissitudes of life, rise and fall, honour and disgrace, and finally disappearing in the flowing river of time.
Thousands of years later, in a corner of the vast universe, new life will be born and a new civilization will appear.
Su Zheyan is neither a philosopher nor a scientist, and he does not know how to prevent the extinction of mankind. He only knows that human beings should not be trapped in the endless cycle by artificial intelligence, arbitrarily manipulated and sculpted at will. Where even gender does not belong to oneself, and even memories are arbitrarily modified.
Chu Shici, who was drawing a circle outside, heard the beep.
[Add 10 to the vitality value, and the current vitality value is 89.]
Chu Shici looked at the capsule cabin suspiciously.
What’s in it, why did it rise by 10 points in one breath?
The system was very excited, rubbed his hands and asked him, [Enough points, do you want to become a living person?]
Chu Shici was still a little hesitant at first, but the system patted his chest and assured, [The high-end goods I exchanged are not one-off. You let me know and you can switch back and forth between humans and robots.]
At the moment of agreement, Chu Shici only felt a blur in front of his eyes. With a bang, he changed from a robot to a living person.
He stood there blankly, looking down at his body.
‘Tong, shouldn’t you give me clothes after I transform?’
[Why should I send it, you are not a magical girl.]
Su Zheyan held the black stone and propped open the hatch of the capsule, witnessing the whole process.
He was silent for a long time before closing the hatch again.
There was a series of crisp sounds in his head, which were the sound of his world view being broken.
With red ears, he sat on a black stone pile and meditated.
Thinking about how a cute little robot can turn into such a beautiful man with no clothes on.
