Chapter 249: Hunting the Moon, Keeping the Promise, My Name is Dongfang Shou
Dongfang Shou continued, "Although my body has been destroyed, my consciousness managed to survive after symbiosis with Tianxing. Tianxing suffered heavy damage after its main body self-destructed, and it no longer exists in the entire virtual network."
"It disappeared. There is no consciousness of it in the virtual sea. Only a rigid program remains. It is the artificial intelligence "Tianxing" in the alliance's cognition. Because of its disappearance, the program has become far less intelligent than before. Only the fixed program set by Chihuo remains. Although I can't find Tianxing, the symbiotic relationship tells me that it is still alive."
"After the destruction of Blazing Fire, the entire world fell into chaos. My consciousness was weak and I could not control the situation. In the long time that followed, I devoured and assimilated those energies and became stronger and stronger. I had surpassed the programs left by Blazing Fire and was able to directly control the virtual network. Then I secretly guided people to pick up the fragments of Tianxing's body and helped them create a force, and then gathered all the fragments."
"When I first sensed the fragment, I discovered its specialness, so I spared no effort to find the fragment. After the fragments were gathered, they were placed in the forbidden area, and I built a virtual sea there."
"Then I used the power of the fragments to turn the virtual into the real, and used the energy contained in them to create a new body, which is the me you see now. During that process, my consciousness fell into a deep sleep, and I was unable to leave the forbidden area, so I didn't come to find you the first time."
After he finished speaking, he looked at the girl in front of him and gave her a smile: "Eleven, I'm glad you're not dead."
If she died, I would have no intention of continuing to live.
It was the news that she was still alive that allowed him to survive the thousands of years, and his consciousness was not assimilated by those data and programs and erased in the virtual sea.
"After we coexisted with Tianxing, I could vaguely sense the situation over there. That's why I learned from it that you were not dead. That's also why I was able to deduce your possible location from countless possibilities, allowing the Dongfang family to successfully find you."
"So, you are the He they are talking about, the real Shouyue."
He chuckled, "Yes, Hunting Moon is me. I modified the artificial intelligence left behind by the Alliance and made it the main brain of the Federation."
"I've been waiting for you, Eleven."
Dongfang Shou stretched out his pinky finger and hooked it with Shichu's pinky finger, shaking it gently, looking into her eyes and smiling: "Do you remember the agreement between you and me?"
Shi Chu looked at the two people's interlocked fingers and recalled the past memories.
"If we both survive, I will tell you my real name."
A hazy picture appeared before her eyes, of a little girl and a little boy hooking their fingers and making a vow.
"Hang yourself with a hook and don't change for a hundred years!"
"It will never change. I will keep my promise."
She blinked, came back to her senses, looked at the boy in front of her, put on a bright smile, and answered seriously: "I remember."
"My name is Dongfang Shou, Eleven." He looked into the girl's eyes and said word by word.
The promise that spanned thousands of years was finally implemented at this moment, and the oath made in the past came true.
Hunt the moon and keep your promise.
I always remember the promise I made to you.
I've been waiting for you.
East...guard?
Shi Chu was stunned for a moment. It turned out that Xiaojiu's brother was called Dongfang Shou. No wonder he chose the Dongfang family. No wonder the Dongfang family would support him unconditionally and always protect him behind his back.
Turns out, it was him.
"Thank you, Brother Xiaojiu."
"Don't thank me, Eleven. We are a family, a family that will be together forever, so don't say thank you to me." He seriously corrected the girl's words, seeming a little unhappy.
"All my things belong to you, Eleven. I hope you can live a good life for once and do whatever you want without restraint."
You've suffered enough and sacrificed everything for the Alliance.
So, this time, live for yourself freely and live the way you want.
I will always stand behind you, forever.
"Ah."
She nodded vigorously, smiled and hugged the boy in front of her tightly.
The two of them snuggled up to each other, as if two lonely souls had finally found each other in the ocean and were no longer lonely.
Destiny finally met again at this moment.
……
"What?! There's a banquet tonight?" Dongfang Yufei yelled, collapsed on the sofa with a lifeless look in her eyes.
She hated participating in this kind of social gathering the most. It was a bunch of annoying guys gathered together, which made her angry just by looking at them, but she couldn't even beat them up.
In order to save face for the Dongfang family, she had to pretend to be serious. It was so tiring. Even going to the front line to kill a moon beast was not as tiring as this.
"Yes, this is prepared for Xiao Di and... um, Xiao Shou." Dongfang Qunyu glanced at the two people sitting together, and called out each other's names somewhat uncomfortably, feeling that the names were hot to the mouth.
The other party is the one they have worshipped for thousands of years and regarded as a god. It can be said that he is familiar, yet extremely strange.
Dongfang Shou had awakened a few weeks ago, but because Shichu's whereabouts on the front line were erratic, he was in the west today and in the east tomorrow, and his exact location could not be found.
That's why we're waiting for her to come back on the main planet, because she will definitely return to the main planet to participate in the Federal Military Academy Competition.
Yes, Dongfang Shou is the last member of Shichu's seven-member team.
He took advantage of the Dongfang family's special connection and recruited Sharpsode during the non-enrollment period. He also showed off his skills to the school's top management and successfully became her teammate by defeating others.
Correspondingly, he must of course have a reasonable identity in the federation.
His current identity is an orphan of a certain bloodline of the Dongfang family who was lost outside and was finally found by the Dongfang family.
Tonight's banquet is held for Dongfang Shou and Shi Chu, to announce the existence of these two people to other forces in the federation.
Although many powerful forces already knew Shi Chu's identity, she had never appeared in such formal occasions, and others still knew her name but had never seen her in person, so it was very necessary to hold a banquet for her to officially establish her identity.
Originally, the Dongfang family planned to hold two more grand events to show how much they valued these two people.
However, one person found it too troublesome and the other person also gave in to her, so they combined the two events into one and only held one.
When we received the news that Shichu was coming back, all the invitations had already been sent out, and the venue and procedures for the banquet had been prepared. Everything was ready except for one person.
So it can be held anytime she comes back.
Adhering to the attitude of dying early and being reborn early, Shi Chu chose to do it tonight without wasting any time, and the other party said that he would listen to her, so it was set for tonight.
Dongfang Yufei stared at the ceiling with lifeless eyes. Suddenly, she stood up and said desperately, "Grandma, can I not go tonight? Look, your granddaughter just came back from the front line and I haven't even had a break yet."
"Huh?" Dongfang Qunyu glared at her.
"Go, go, I will definitely go!"
She quickly stood up straight, patted her chest as if to assure herself, then sat down obediently, secretly glancing at the other two people and the person who had been standing behind Shi Chu and was unwilling to sit down.
It's a very exciting relationship.
It's okay, she's just attending a party, the protagonist is the most tired.
"Xiao Shi, you just need to show up on the stage when the time comes. If you don't want to pay attention to others, just ignore them. It's okay to go back and rest early." Dongfang Qunyu looked at Shi Chu and said kindly.
???
Dongfang Yufei jumped up immediately. What did that mean? Why could Shichu be so willful while she had to accompany those annoying guys until the end of the banquet? This difference in treatment was too obvious!
"Xiao Yu, behave yourself and don't get so nervous. You will be responsible for receiving those important guests. Be serious and don't be lazy and let me catch you."
"Don't worry, I will work hard and do my best." No way.
