The library in the setting sun was shaded by dense trees, and the light was a little 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, looked at the rustling bushes outside the window, enjoyed the gentle touch of the breeze blowing on her cheeks, and relaxed involuntarily from her fingers to her hair. 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. 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.

To save money.

To find a way to distance himself from Lu Zhizhao and Ning Jiayi...

There are so many things that Su Liang has to face, and he can't afford to take a breath 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 the book with his fingertips, but his body was getting closer and closer to the window.

The wind is cool.

There was 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 light that it is almost impossible to distinguish, but Su Liang still feels it smells good.

Is it someone who 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.

This 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 hard to recall it, but still couldn't remember it.

But no matter what, Su Liang was willing to stay here even just because of the fragrance in the air at the moment and the silence and tranquility of the entire library.

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

[Xiao Liang, we need to talk. 】

Lu Zhizhao came to have several communications. Judging from the messages, it seemed that something had happened.

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

【What are you talking about? 】

He replied.

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

Su Liang looked at this sentence and lowered his eyes.

【it is 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.

After packing up, Su Liang suppressed the slight resistance in her heart and quickly left the old library.

But just as he stepped down the steps of the library door, he suddenly felt the back of his neck swell slightly. Inexplicably, Su Liang felt as if 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 then continued to walk outside.

The slender and sluggish 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 it is, when seeing him, it is difficult to perceive his handsomeness.

Because the breath lingering around this man is too terrifying.

Even just looking at him, the instinct of survival that belongs to the animal deep in the human body 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.

Moreover, the attire of the man at the moment is actually quite strange.

A part 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 pierced into the blood vessels on the back of the man's neck.

The lower half of the man's face was covered by a mask similar to a bite stopper, and only a pair of abyss-like eyes were exposed without any emotional fluctuations.

His hands and feet are also bound by heavy metal rings. If anyone who knows them sees these things, they will find that they are restraints used to restrain the highest-level biological weapons.

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

But the temperament and expression he showed when he sat on the old old wooden chair reminded people of a tyrannical king who was extremely centralized and held the supreme power and all lives and deaths thousands of years ago.

A dusty window was beside the man, with a slight slit open.

"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 out in the room.

Beside the man, a "person" with a dull face and an unusually well-proportioned body is sitting cross-legged in front of a machine, with countless metal tentacles sticking out from behind it to connect with the machine.

Complex symbols and data flashed on the machine's screen.

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.

And this caused the android to raise his voice for an instant.

"Wow, this is interesting. In theory, as long as you appear, normal humans will stay away from your area based on their survival instincts even if they are unconscious. Of course, I'm not describing you as a kind of biological weapon. La, but our current confinement device is really difficult to control your spiritual overflow, and it is inevitable that you will become hated. Think about those poor Alpha assassins, I just caught them a few days ago. Those of you who have not even had time to approach the inner courtyard have been scared to wet their pants... Are you really sure that the humanoids 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 wasn't supposed to be in his realm.

But those who are familiar with him will know how weird he is at the moment - while he spoke flatly, he tapped the arm of the chair with his fingers very lightly, and a secret command was instantly sent to him through the built-in communication device. all under his command. 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 was 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.

It is impossible for the man's movements to hide 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 "obliterate 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're talking about the kind that land on both feet, look very, very beautiful, and the gender is... ah, what a pity, It turned out to be a beta... wild cat?"

While uttering a strange gossip tone in a wacky electrosynthetic voice, the android dangled a stalking tentacle from his body and dangled it at the window.

"Why didn't I know you like cats?"

It muttered raggedly.

It adjusted its position and tried very curiously to see the figure that had long since disappeared, but at this moment, the man raised his eyebrows and looked at the center of the android's brain.

Then the tentacle snapped back to its original position in an instant.

"Can't you even take a look? Are you too stingy?"

The AI ​​grumbled disgruntled.

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

The man didn't respond.

He was as gloomy and indifferent as ever.

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

A light and soft breeze blew past the window, bringing with it a very faint scent.

The aroma has faded to almost nothing, and no one can detect it, even the extremely terrifying man who is considered a monster by everyone.

But it does exist.

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

He felt that today's wind was very comfortable. 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.
