Within Quantum Control Room.
"Hahaha! Caroline, what's your expression? No, I have to take a picture of it for you! Then let others see it too."
Looking at Caroline who is clearly crying but is still smiling.
'Tiandao' is like a kid who succeeded in his prank.
His hands made a gesture similar to a picture frame, aiming at Caroline's crying and laughing face.
Very heartless.
And with the emergence of his childish behavior.
The Holographic Projection actually worked very well to simulate a camera-like shutter click sound, as well as a continuous flash of light.
This fool
Caroline looked at 'Tiandao' who was moving around like a paparazzi.
The corners of his mouth raised uncontrollably.
It was obvious that she was immersed in heart-rending sadness just a second ago.
At this moment, I was so angry that I wanted to laugh at this guy who never played his cards according to common sense.
Just like countless times in the past.
Thinking of this, Caroline immediately took a deep breath.
Then her eyes turned red and she glared hard at the figure who never acted according to common sense.
Just like the scene that had been played out countless times between her and Tiandao.
Nothing seems to have changed.
But everything seems to have changed.
And just after Caroline stared at Tiandao.
Tiandao's Holographic Projection lightly jumped onto the control tower next to the computing cabin and sat down on the edge.
He slowly put away the smile on his face, changed from the witty and humorous tone just now, and his tone suddenly became gentle and serious.
"Okay, Caroline, wipe away your tears. I know you have a lot of questions to ask, and I know you have a lot to say."
"But before that, can you hear me out?"
Caroline nodded, and then listened quietly.
In Tiandao's description, Caroline finally understood everything that happened at the base.
And Tiandao's own choice.
It turns out that as early as two years ago, Tiandao had just finished Star Core Surgery.
Because I couldn't fully adapt to 'Heavenly Eye' at that time.
As a result, he often sees things he couldn't otherwise see.
And these things include some fragmented futures.
At first, Tiandao didn't think these things represented the future.
So I didn't pay too much attention to it.
But when those fragmented futures slowly appeared in front of his eyes in a realistic way.
Tiandao Got it.
It turns out that these things are not illusory 'dreams' at all.
It's a 'reality' that will be realized soon.
It was also after that that Tiandao changed his mind
"Caroline, the future I saw is not the future I want, so I must make changes."
"Otherwise, 'seeing' would be meaningless."
"It's just that I didn't expect that change would be so difficult."
Speaking of this, Holographic Projection of Tiandao suddenly sighed.
But his tone soon became excited.
His expression became visibly excited.
Not long after, Holographic Projection of Tiandao suddenly approached Caroline like a child waiting for praise.
". But it doesn't matter, Caroline, because I succeeded!"
"Not only did I successfully change everyone's future, I also successfully found an ending that would make everyone happy."
"How about it, Caroline, I'm awesome!"
It's just that after listening to this, Caroline not only did not express understanding.
Instead, he lowered his head silently and pinched his fingertips deeply into his palm.
He said in a voice that was so trembling that it was almost inaudible, "So... is this the reason why you erased yourself from the future?"
No response.
Because this is just an image that Tiandao recorded in advance, Tiandao in the projection is still continuing his monologue.
But at this time Caroline. could not listen to anything.
"What a joke!"
Caroline has always been known for his rationality and calmness.
At this moment, he uncharacteristically burst out with unprecedented emotional anger.
She placed her hands firmly on the transparent protective glass of the calculation cabin where Tiandao's body was located.
The sharp nails left several clear scratches on the glass surface during the bending of the fingers.
She stared hard at Tiandao lying in the calculation cabin, silent tears falling on the glass, her eyes filled with anger and some strong 'hate'.
"Tiandao, you keep saying that the future you see is not the future you want, but have you ever considered other people's feelings?"
"You are always so arrogant and unreasonable."
"You just do what you want to do without caring about the consequences."
"You keep saying that we are the best partners, but why don't you tell me this idea? Why don't you ask me what I think!"
"What kind of partner are you?"
Caroline suddenly raised his hand, as if he wanted to break the glass in front of him.
However, the hand that was raised high was finally put down gently after seeing the calm face behind the glass.
"I hate you, Tiandao, I hate you!"
"Because whether it's Chen Xing, Instructor Yun, or anyone else, I don't care about their life or death at all, I don't care!"
"What is their future like? Whether they are living a good or bad life has nothing to do with you Tiandao!"
"I don't believe you can't find a way to keep yourself in the future. You are just too selfish, so selfish that you can only accept the result you want, regardless of what this result means to other people."
Speaking of this, Caroline suddenly took a deep breath.
Then he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes vigorously, and his eyes became calmer than ever before.
At the same time, her hair also turned into long silver-white hair in the process, and it automatically became windless.
Obviously, Caroline has entered the 'overclocking' state of Smart Machine, looking for the possibility of leaving Tiandao behind in the huge data torrent.
"There will be, and there will definitely be a way."
After a huge amount of data analysis and countless possible deductions.
Caroline bit his nails, feeling that he had found a way to make Tiandao 'stay'.
"Smart Machine transformation, yes, as long as I give you the Smart Machine transformation immediately."
However, she didn't wait for her to finish the plan.
A slightly apologetic voice suddenly sounded from behind her.
"I'm sorry."
Caroline turned her head in shock and found that Holographic Projection of Tiandao was looking at her with the kind of gentle and sad expression she hated most.
And this expression instantly gave Caroline a bad feeling in his heart.
"Caroline, I know that after I say this, you will not only be very angry, but you will also use some unconventional means to keep me alive as much as possible."
"But for me who has become Special Trait type Star Envoy, the Smart Machine transformation without Smart Machine Star Source is just forcibly imprisoning my soul in a pile of junk."
"And for me, this is a crueler punishment than death, so..."
Seeing that Tiandao actually predicted his thoughts in advance.
Caroline's pupils contracted instantly.
Because she has already guessed what Tiandao wants to do.
Without any hesitation, Caroline instinctively wanted to stop him.
But before she could take action, 'Tiandao' said the words Caroline didn't want to hear with a complicated expression.
"Mechanical Star Envoy·Caroline, start Protocol No. 3."
As soon as these words came out, Caroline instantly felt severe pain in his brain.
Immediately afterwards, she heard a voice in her mind that had never appeared in her body even though it had existed for a long time.
[Protocol No. 3 start]
[Mechanoid Personality is turned on]
Along with a special quantum program, her main personality's thinking was forcibly suppressed.
Mechanoid Personality completely occupied Caroline's body.
After a moment, the humanity in Caroline's eyes disappeared.
Instead, there is Mechanical Star Envoy's unique rationality and indifference.
At the same time, Caroline's voice also became mechanical and stiff, with no emotion at all.
"Protocol No. 3 has been activated, please give instructions."
