I am in a world where time stands still

Chapter 232 I will make him die more happily

Xi Zhe turned pale with shock, he never expected that the close connection between himself and the code puzzle is not indestructible!

this person!
What's so special about it? !

why?
Definitely, he must have secrets that I don't know!

Xi Zhe looked at Xiao Fan vigilantly, but couldn't see the slightest clue.

Xiao Fan looked ordinary in front of him, but at the moment he seemed so unpredictable!
The same is true for Lengtong and Qilu standing behind Xizhe.

One after another strange and shocking events happened before them.

Xizhe held the puzzle that was the only secret code that they thought existed, but at this moment, it didn't look like that.

Not only did the second password puzzle appear again, but Xizhe's control over the password puzzle was even challenged? !

Naturally, Xi Zhe also noticed the doubts from Leng Tong and Qi Lu, but this was unacceptable to him.

how can !
As the only first generation of AI-enhanced composite humans who had finally unified all existing factions, how could he personally shake his indestructible leadership position so quickly?
He had to do something now, right now.

Xi Zhe waved his hand, and all the ball lightning surged again, and instantly burst into a web of arcs like a spider's web.

Whoa!
Huge electric energy filled the entire space, and even directly ionized the space in this floor, causing a huge electromagnetic storm.

Xiao Fan and Zhang Ruirui were pushed to one side, while Xi Zhe, Leng Tong and Qi Lu were pushed to the other side.

Taking this opportunity, the two forces were separated.

The beeping that had been intensifying just now was finally interrupted, and the multiple ball lightnings also merged into one, returning to their original appearance, and completely returned to Xizhe's control.

"Let's go!" Xi Zhe waved his hand unwillingly, jumped out of the blasted glass outer wall with Leng Tong and Qi Lu, and disappeared into the chaos after the explosion.

On the other side, Xiao Fan quickly helped Zhang Ruirui to stand up.

However, Xi Zhe and others had disappeared.

"Zhang Ruirui, how are you?" Xiao Fan thought of Zhang Ruirui's injury, and looked worriedly at the wound on her back.

But to Xiao Fan's surprise, the clothes on Zhang Ruirui's back were already stained red by the oozing blood, and there were holes in the clothes when the wound was caused, but the wound seemed to have healed quickly.

"Huh? So fast?"

Xiao Fan opened his eyes wide in disbelief, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to caress the wound, trying to see it more clearly.

But that's right, there are really only a few traces left in that place.

"What are your hands doing?"

Zhang Ruirui twisted her body and turned to look at him.

"Uh, I...you..." Xiao Fan pointed to her back, but was speechless for a while.

Zhang Ruirui didn't see the wound on her back from the very beginning, so naturally she couldn't understand Xiao Fan's shock at this time.

"You are dishonest!"

"I... hi..."

Xiao Fan had nothing to say.

……

【Ding!Ding!Ding! 】

At this moment, the system sent a strange prompt tone.

However, Xiao Fan felt that he had heard something similar before.

As for when, I can't remember it all at once.

【Ding!Special Note! 】

[Zhang Ruirui broke through the barrier of static time and became a certified secondary host! 】

[The host will be able to choose whether to include the secondary host into the time-still barrier according to his own wishes.If you choose Yes, the secondary host will be able to move freely in the time stasis barrier. 】

That's it!

Xiao Fan suddenly remembered.

Not long ago, the same thing happened at the top of Moyun Snow Mountain.

The protagonist at that time was Li Ruoying.

And Li Ruoying also became the first person to break through the barrier of static time and become a certified secondary host.

Xiao Fan thought that at that time, it happened to be the time when Li Ruoying really became the master of the password puzzle.

And the password puzzle belonging to Li Ruoying comes from the magical colored stones from outer space.

And at this moment, coincidentally, Zhang Ruirui has also become the No. 2 certified secondary host, and will also have the ability to travel through the time-stationary barrier created by him.

So……

Xiao Fan suddenly remembered, is it also related to the password puzzle this time?
Xiao Fan's sight was suddenly attracted by a bright silver flash.

Taking a closer look, he saw a suspended silver miniature dagger floating in front of him, and its outline still retained the appearance of the gray-black blade that belonged to Lao Gao before.

really!

Another password puzzle!
Zhang Ruirui also seemed to sense something.

Seeing the silver dagger floating in front of her, she subconsciously reached out to hold it up.

As expected, the silver dagger landed in Zhang Ruirui's palm very obediently.

Zhang Ruirui held the delicate handle of the silver dagger in surprise, and turned to look at Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan also nodded happily.

"Great, Zhang Ruirui," Xiao Fan also said excitedly, "If I guess correctly, you have officially become the master of this password puzzle. From then on, any AI-enhanced composite person will no longer be able to experience this password puzzle Calling, it is completely and truly yours."

"It belongs to me..."

Zhang Ruirui still couldn't believe it.

After listening to Xiao Fan's words, she put the silver dagger into her arms with a sense of ritual. There was no doubt that she was increasingly aware of the connection and echo between herself and the password puzzle.

And Xiao Fan looked at Zhang Ruirui happily.

He did not inform her about the fact that she became a certified secondary host.

Because he hasn't figured out how to explain everything about the system and time stillness to Zhang Ruirui.

However, Xiao Fan knew that this day would come sooner or later.

As for the identity of Zhang Ruirui's secondary authentication host, is it a hint from the system to him?
What positions did Zhang Ruirui and Li Ruoying occupy in his life?
Xiao Fan couldn't help thinking about this question.

However, the more he thought about it, the more confused he became, but it was difficult for him to get the answer for a while.

Did Li Ruoying's face appear in front of her eyes, overlapping with the appearance of Zhang Ruirui standing in front of her at the moment.

However, the two people are so different.

Xiao Fan could see clearly.

……

Imperial Capital, the coffee shop on the first floor of the Cote d'Azur.

Xizhe was almost in shock, he sat in a corner with Leng Tong and Qi Lu who were also somewhat confused, avoiding the crowd.

There was a long silence, and none of the three people spoke, until the three cups of coffee they ordered were delivered to them.

In order to cover up the panic at this time, all three of them lowered their heads and took a sip of coffee first.

Ok……

None of the three people relaxed slightly.

I have to admit that a cup of coffee at this time made them feel very comfortable.

The messy mood also became more peaceful.

All three of them couldn't help savoring the cup of coffee again.

Um?
Qilu frowned first, staring at the cup of coffee with some doubts.

Immediately afterwards, Xi Zhe and Leng Tong also noticed everything strange.

This cup of coffee seems a bit...

All three are first-generation AI-enhanced composite humans, and they all have central chips.

This allows them to have one of the basic capabilities, which is powerful information acquisition and analysis capabilities.

When the alien civilization invaded before, it was precisely this feature that was exploited to seize the loophole and control the AI-enhanced compound humans of the No. 2 faction on a large scale.

But based on this, they can judge through almost all the information they have on the earth that this cup of coffee is not a plant from the earth.

In other words, this coffee turned out to be an "alien species".

As for how foreign this "foreigner" is, Xizhe is hard to say.

In short, it should be from "alien civilization"?
The three of them exchanged glances and confirmed that they had the same judgment.

They picked up the coffee introduction card on the table and looked.

"Lonely Island Coffee?" Xi Zhe muttered, "Bringing you a unique taste experience?"

It can be seen that the information on the introduction card is very limited and cannot explain anything.

The three of them waved and asked the waiter to come over, saying that they wanted to meet the barista who made the coffee.

A few minutes later, a thin middle-aged man walked over.

He was also wearing a brown barista apron and a brown peaked cap on his head, looking ordinary.

"Several customers, what do you want me to do?" The barista nodded politely at them, "I wonder if this coffee still tastes right?"

Xizhe sized him up, feeling slightly disappointed.

A face that couldn't be more ordinary didn't match any special person's face in his database.

This confirms that he is just an unknown person.

Xizhe said, "Where does this coffee come from?"

The barista bowed and said, "I'm sorry, there are many batches of coffee beans purchased in the store. Our barista didn't make any special records, so I'm not sure."

"Today's coffee should be very special, right?" Xi Zhe was still unwilling to give up, "Even if you don't remember anything else, I think you should pay special attention to today's coffee."

The barista didn't reply right away, but looked at the three people sitting meaningfully. Finally, he seemed to say meaningfully: "It's just a cup of coffee, so why worry about it. The unique aroma of this coffee is indeed very special , but even I can only look up to its uniqueness, but can't find its original origin. Since you are so concerned about the origin, can you also think about your own origin? No matter what type of person, It’s always good not to forget your roots too much.”

The barista said these incomprehensible words, and then turned around and left.

Xizhe and the other three were a little confused when they heard it, but they seemed to understand a little bit. They always felt that there was something in the barista's words.

"You!" Qi Lu stood up a little annoyed, wanting to stop the barista to ask for clarification.

However, the barista had already returned behind the counter and started weighing the beans for the next cup of coffee on the electronic scale.

"Forget it..." Xizhe pulled Qilu back, "Maybe we've thought too much, and it's time to update the database later."

……

Closer to home, Xi Zhe, Leng Tong, and Qi Lu finally started to face the reality, and talked about their experience when they were in line with Xiao Fan just now.

"That Xiao Fan really has mastered the password puzzle that should belong to us!" Leng Tong said indifferently, "Xizhe, you can bear it, don't you plan to just let it go?"

Qilu nodded and said: "This is related to the technological leap of AI-enhanced compound humans, a thousand-year plan, especially in this critical period, surely Xizhe won't just let it go?"

"Haha..." Xi Zhe looked at the faces of the two people opposite him, and he had already recovered his majesty as the boss, "Of course! The three-point password puzzle that belongs to us, we must have one piece, and we must get it! However, I was a little surprised that Xiao Fan was able to control the password puzzle just now. It seems that we thought everything was too simple in the past."

He paused for a moment, then raised his voice and said, "From now on, I will not leave any chance for him, and I will take it seriously."

Qi Lu didn't care much, "As for this? I don't think there's anything special about that kid."

Xi Zhe said: "You also know that there are three password puzzles in total."

Leng Tong nodded and said: "Of course. However, I have only clearly seen two copies now, one in your hands and the other in Xiao Fan's hands. I first received the induction of the password puzzle, but then it disappeared. I don't know if it was Xiao Fan's hand. This one in there.”

"Probably not!" Xi Zhe was a little serious, "I guess, Xiao Fan not only has Gao Fan's code puzzle, but he may have a third code puzzle."

"How is it possible?!" Qi Lu looked at him incredulously, "Shouldn't it be Gao Fan's share?"

"No, only when the three password puzzles appear in a certain range at the same time will the mutual induction and beeping of the password puzzle appear. In addition, from the residual information of our brothers who died in Moyun Snow Mountain, I seem to have read Some information about the code puzzle, but absolutely nothing to do with Govan's share."

Leng Tong raised his eyes, "If it's really what you estimated, Xiao Fan already holds two password puzzles, it seems quite worrying. I don't know if we are still his opponents."

"Ha, this is a bit too pessimistic." Xi Zhe said: "No matter how you say it, the password puzzle exists for us, and its goal has always been to help our AI-enhanced compound human to obtain a technological leap ahead of time. Xiao Fan is just an ordinary Humans, he doesn't even know how to use it. I felt it in the contact just now, he doesn't seem to know how to play the role of the password puzzle. And, most importantly, what to do after collecting three password puzzles, he I don't even know."

"Then what should we do now?" Leng Tong and Qi Lu looked at him.

Xi Zhe nodded and said: "Of course, we can no longer be blindly optimistic. Even if Xiao Fan doesn't know how to use password puzzles, he is still our biggest hidden danger. Next time we meet, I will leave no room for him and directly send him Kill! You also have to do your best to help me."

Leng Tong said: "Do you still want to mobilize teachers like this?"

"Yes! We can't give him any chance anymore. We can't allow any accidents." Xizhe said: "It's actually a good thing. Since he has helped us collect two password puzzles first, we will accept it as soon as possible. Collect all the cipher puzzle pieces. In return, I will make his death easier and less painful!"
