Ten years later, Fang Zhi Fei was beaten to death in his cell, and at the same time he got the news, Zhou Yun Sheng was ejected from that world before he could react, and an energy that could be described as furious was injected into his soul, and then transferred to 008’s storage when he returned to his body.

“Wake up, he’s awake!” I don’t know who cheered.

Then it was a few hands that helped the dazed Zhou Yunsheng out of the restoration cabin and helped him dry off.

“How long have I been unconscious?” He took off his sensor helmet and looked around; it was still the same run-down underground hospital.

“You’ve been unconscious for a day and a night.” A small nurse shoved a nutritional capsule into his mouth.

“Did you find the self-destruct program?” The marshal rushed in with the news.

“No, but a little trace was found, I need more time.” Zhou Yunsheng put on his clothes, holding his helmet as he walked into the studio that was solely his own, and said in a deep voice, “I need to organize the data, no one can disturb me during this time.”

The marshal nodded his head in agreement, now that they had no better way to deal with the Queen, they could only beat a dead horse, not to mention that the other party was not a dead horse at all.

Zhou Yunsheng spent three days remodeling the bulky helmet-style 008 into the style of earrings in the interdimensional space, but the energy stored inside was not reduced, and a section of Yi Zheng’s spiritual wavelength was added. He repeatedly studied this wavelength and rewrote it into a set of codes, if he could gather a complete set of codes, he would be able to bring Yi Zheng back to the real world.

Seven days later, he left the studio toward the intensive care area, where the bodies of victims whose souls were trapped in the astral web lay.

“Why is even General Orr brain dead! His physique and mental strength are clearly S-rank, he should have been able to pull through!”

“God, why did this horrible thing happen.”

“Can we still defeat the Queen?”

Several small nurses were tearing up with fear and anxiety as they disassembled the sensors attached to one of the patients. Zhou Yunsheng fixed his eyes and recognized the man on the hospital bed as General Orr, who had once been hailed as the Empire’s rising star. With his noble birth and outstanding abilities, he had made great achievements at only 27 years old, and was the most likely person to take over the position of Imperial Marshal.

More than a month’s slumber had caused him to lose a lot of weight, but the contours of his face became deeper and harder, not like a man who was about to die. A young man in military uniform was bending down to caress his face with a very sad expression.

Zhou Yunsheng walked over and took a closer look at the young man, recognizing the other party as Jeram Yasai, General Orr’s younger brother. His acting skills could fool everyone, except for Zhou Yunsheng, who had reincarnated for tens of thousands of years and had become refined. He could not sense any aura of mourning from him.

“Thank you for always taking care of my brother.” Seeing that the nurse had completely removed the medical equipment from Orr’s body, he walked over and shook their hands one by one.

“No, it’s our job.” Several nurses shook their heads in shame.

Jeram was about to say something else when a soldier ran over and told him it was time to go on his mission. He walked over to the hospital bed and kissed his brother’s forehead reverently, a teardrop falling from the corner of his eye as he turned around.

When he was far away, several nurses looked at each other and sighed with infinite sadness.

“Can I have a moment alone with General Orr? I’m a fan of his.” Zhou Yunsheng knocked on the open door of the room.

“Of course.” The nurses recognized him and immediately walked over to assist him.

“Is General Orr sure he’s brain dead?”

“Yes, the sensors can no longer detect any brainwaves.”

“Can you guys help me hook up the sensors again? I want to talk to him, maybe he’ll suddenly wake up again? Aren’t there many medical examples of this?”

The young man’s eyes were so dark and bright, and so full of tears from grief, that he looked very pitiful. The nurses couldn’t stand his pleading gaze, and thinking that the next time he fell asleep, he might not wake up, they couldn’t refuse a small request from a hero.

They weren’t afraid of any trouble at all, connecting all the medical instruments that had been removed earlier, and couldn’t help but shake their heads at the sight of the undulating brainwaves.

Zhou Yunsheng waited for the nurses to exit the room before he leaned over and looked towards the man on the hospital bed. There was no doubt that the other party’s soul had already been devoured by the Queen, and what was lying here was just an empty skin, and he happened to need such a skin.

He took off 008 and stuck it into the man’s earlobe, turned on the energy delivery button, and implanted a section of Yi Zheng’s spiritual wavelength into the man’s brain. Five minutes later, the flat EEG began to jump and emit a hopeful dripping sound, and Zhou Yunsheng smiled faintly before he reattached 008, whose energy had been drained.

“What happened?” Several nurses were waiting right outside the door and immediately ran in when they heard the noise, and were surprised to see General Orr, who had regained brain activity.

“Ah, alive, surprisingly alive! Quickly call the doctor.”

A few people huffed and puffed and ran off, leaving a colleague to check various data.

“Please, you must take good care of him in the future.” Zhou Yunsheng stroked the man’s thinning cheek and discreetly pleaded.

“Of course we will.”

“Thanks.” Zhou Yunsheng nodded his head slightly and took large strides towards the engine room. He had the right idea that he could bring his lover back, so he couldn’t let up for a moment now, he had to decipher his lover’s entire set of source codes, and then help him form a soul body in the real world and bring him truly alive. He knew that this was what the Queen had been trying to do all along, it had devoured so many souls, both for energy and to find out the secret to remodeling souls and bodies.

If it could find a human to help it in the real world and tell the other party its source code without hiding anything, it should succeed. But Zhou Yunsheng never worried about this happening, there might be a human willing to help the Empress, however it would never be possible to make the Empress hand over its source code, it was too cautious and suspicious.

Zhou Yunsheng sprinted all the way, and as soon as he pushed open the door to the machine room, he said loudly, “I want to enter StarNet again.”

“Okay.” Everyone got organized and ready.

“No need for a sensor helmet, I’ll just wear this.” He pointed to the black studs on his earlobes and stripped off his clothes to dip into the repair pod.

———————-

When he opened his eyes again, Zhou Yunsheng was sitting in a speeding limousine, and the scenery outside the window passed by like a vapor, leaving a blur of gray.

He felt someone sitting beside him, but didn’t have the heart to turn his head and look at the other person, instead he searched his mind for memories to himself and then hooked his lips in a smile.

Great, it’s another world that once left him dead and holding back far more than the last one. Here, he was a left-behind child named Huang Yi, living in a very remote and poor mountain village. He was brought up by his grandparents since he was a child, and only saw his parents a few times when he was sixteen years old. Because of the family’s poverty, the husband and wife must work day and night, even for the New Year’s Eve because of the lack of travel expenses and often can not return to their hometowns, can only be most of the money earned to hit the parents, so that they can provide good for their children to study.

Zhou Yunsheng’s grandparents passed away when he was in his first year of junior high school, and when he was in his first year of senior high school, both of his parents were in a car accident and died as a result of failure to rescue them. He could have followed his parents to the big city and improved his family’s environment by developing software, but the system didn’t allow him to do that and issued him the task of staying in the countryside. The perpetrator tried to use tens of thousands of dollars to cover up the truth of his parents’ deaths, and he was furious to the extreme, but couldn’t do anything because of the system’s confinement.

The only thing he could do was wait quietly until his grandparents died, until his father and mother died, until his grandparents died, and finally the Destiny Child of this world.

The other party was very handsome, his narrow phoenix eyes were full of melancholy and indifference, and when he appeared in Zhou Yunsheng’s tattered little earthen kiln wearing an expensive suit and snow-white gloves, Zhou Yunsheng thought he saw an angel. His cool temperament seemed to purify the murky air.

At that time, Zhou Yunsheng thought: if this man was gay, he would definitely step in.

But sadly, men are not gay or angels, quite the contrary, he is a demon, a demon with no sense of morality or right and wrong, through and through.

He walked over to Zhou Yunsheng’s side, surveying his stained face with a cold, piercing gaze for a long time before speaking faintly, “You still have a loved one, would you like to see her?”

The system duly issued a quest to follow the man away, and then he nodded, and wiped his nose at the man’s disgust-filled gaze.

Anyone that the system let himself get close to would definitely pose a threat to him, and Zhou Yunsheng, who had already realized that he was a villain, threw that glimmer of goodwill to the back of his mind at that moment, and became wary of men. However it was of no use, with the system in place, he would have to go up any mountain of daggers or sea of fire.

Things were just as he had suspected, and it was indeed that dark of a future that awaited him.

He was now dressed just in time to leave his hometown with the man. The man had a very serious cleanliness fetish and took him into the best hotel in the city, took a solid three hour bath and waited for the attendant to scrub off three layers of his skin before letting him change into a set of clean casual clothes and take a bus to the imperial capital.

Huang Yi’s hometown is very far away from the imperial capital, the two together with an assistant changed several kinds of transportation before arriving at the destination smoothly. During the ten-hour journey, the man didn’t talk to Zhou Yunsheng for a single word, he didn’t have any expression on his face and his eyes were deep, more often than not, he was just like a cloud of air without any presence, however, his handsome and peerless appearance and elegant and noble demeanor would make him dazzle like a beam of light.

Wherever he went, there were always people who recognized him, but never rushed to disturb him. They were afraid of polluting the clear air or being blinded by his light.

At that time, Zhou Yunsheng was curious about the man’s identity, but the villain system would never provide him with any information. It wasn’t until much later that Zhou Yunsheng learned that the man was the youngest and most talented piano player in China, winning the Chopin International Piano Competition at the age of twelve, and now at the age of 26, he had already held countless piano recitals, all of which were filled to capacity.

Since he was a child, the reputation of prodigy, genius, king of the piano and so on was constantly put on his head, such a person has the capital of solitude and pride, and also has the right to defy all the mundane people.

Right now, they’ve just gotten off the plane and are heading to the man’s mansion in the suburbs, where Zhou Yunsheng will meet the key person who started his last life’s tragic destiny, the heroine of this world.
