God's Summons
Geometry Design Group.
Qin Yiguan stood in front of the huge glass curtain.
Meng Jihe, who was nearly thirty but seemed to have never aged and whose appearance remained forever young, stood shoulder to shoulder with him.
The two gazed together at the sea of clouds before them.
Qin Yiguan said with a smile, "Boss Meng, why aren't you saying anything?"
The boy turned his head to look at the man in a sharp black suit beside him; his resolute face was reflected in the glass screen.
When Boss Meng left the orphanage, he was dressed in tattered clothes, but now he is Yiguan.
Behind the two, a huge virtual screen was displaying a breaking news story.
"Breaking News."
"The B5 Sector police station of the Metaverse Government cracked a major case involving the manufacture of Black Drug 30 minutes ago."
The code name for the Black Drug is CPH4.
"Further details are pending release by the police."
"According to reliable sources, one known victim is Meng Jihe, the president of the Metaverse Experiment and Geometry Design Group."
"He died after being injected with an overdose of CPH4 by an evil organization."
Qin Yiguan chuckled. "These Wuliang media outlets always report nonsense. You're perfectly fine."
Meng Jihe continued to look at the sea of clouds without replying.
The boy's arm trembled slightly.
1 hour ago.
Qin Yiguan brought Luo Sijie to the Geometry Design Group.
I saw the Meng Jihe, which had become a chemical bond.
Luo Sijie muttered to himself that he was determined to clear Xiao Lie of the crimes he had committed.
He placed the nebulizer containing APOE4 in the center of Boss Meng's body.
Blue smoke billowed out, instantly covering the chemical bonds of flesh and blood.
'CPH4 is neutralized...'
'Slowed brain activity...'
'Brain indicators are trending towards normalization...'
Luo Sijie's antidote was very effective.
Everyone saw hope.
Qin Yiguan was also extremely excited, his efforts, which had been made every second counted.
However, while Boss Meng's brain data was gradually recovering, his physical functions were rapidly declining.
His body underwent some strange change and was no longer in human form. Although his brain data was restored, his body could not be maintained at all.
The doctors present, including Luo Sijie, were completely baffled by this phenomenon; it was entirely beyond their comprehension.
'Life expectancy 80%...'
'Life expectancy 30%...'
'Life expectancy 10%...'
'Lifespan 2%...'
'Lifespan 0%...'
now.
Qin Yiguan was still gazing at the sea of clouds ahead, tears welling in his eyes. "Boss Meng, since you won't speak, then I will."
"Amidst the vast ocean of life, among countless beings, we are fortunate to meet and to know each other."
We met in the orphanage and shared our childhood.
"Back then, we were always stealing chickens and dogs, and fighting all the time."
Later, we drifted apart and went our separate ways, each busy with our own lives.
"You have finally reached the summit, looking down upon all living beings."
Although I was absent from the Yiguan, I am incredibly proud to hear of your success.
Time flies, and there's something I didn't have time to say.
"Becoming your brother is the greatest fortune of my life."
"Boss Meng, farewell."
That's all.
Boss Meng's figure slowly disappeared from the boy's eyes.
She closed her eyes, and tears slowly streamed down her face.
Before that floor-to-ceiling window, from beginning to end, only the young man was reminiscing alone.
Qin Yiguan gazed at the chemical bonds formed from Boss Meng's flesh and blood.
The heart had stopped beating, and the blood in the vessels had congealed and was no longer flowing.
Suddenly, the chemical bonds transformed into blue code, slowly rising into the air.
Half of the code floated into the sky, while the other half 'drilled' into Qin Yiguan's brow, merging with him.
The next moment.
In Qin Yiguan's mind, a set of chemical bonds clearly appeared—CPH4.
Qin Yiguan's eyes flickered. When a person dies in the Metaverse, they leave behind a corpse. Boss Meng...?
"Mr. Qin, Boss Meng has no parents, no wife or children, and no family."
He made a will before his death.
Rong Qian's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and she held an electronic document in her hands. "If anything happens to him, the Geometry Design Group is yours."
Qin Yiguan was moved, but he smiled and said, "I only know how to kill, not how to scheme, and I certainly don't know how to manage a company."
Immediately.
The young man gazed at Rong Qian. "How about I hand the company over to you to manage? Can you manage it all by yourself?"
Rong Qian raised her head, tears still glistening in her eyes, "The ownership of the company should naturally belong to you, according to President Meng's last wishes. Even if I manage it, I am working for you."
"Besides."
"I am not alone."
After Rong Qian finished speaking, the door behind her opened.
Outside the door stood three figures, some tall, some short, some fat, some thin.
Qin Yiguan stared for a moment, then suddenly laughed, "Mercy Orphanage, Dormitory 06, back then Boss Meng, me, and I were jokingly called the ' Strongest Psychopath Quintet.' I was the youngest. You all took the beatings for me back then. Brothers, you all went into the Experimental Zone, and you... you've all come back."
Only one of the four figures could be heard saying.
"It's not that we've come back; it's that over the years, Boss Meng has brought us all together by sponsoring orphans."
"Qin Yiguan, you little bastard, Boss Meng died protecting you."
"We won't let Boss Meng die in vain."
"So."
"From now on, if you cause any more trouble..."
"Come find the three of us."
"Us."
"I'll stand up for you, just like Boss Meng did."
Qin Yiguan tilted his head slightly, trying hard not to let the tears fall.
"Rong Qian, you're wrong. Boss Meng has a family."
Qin Yiguan arrived in the real world.
Through Officer Wang, Boss Meng's actual address was found.
China Central District No. 05.
now.
Qin Yiguan looked at the Nutrient Pod in front of him.
It has switched to freeze mode.
Boss Meng lay quietly inside, with glistening white silk threads flowing from his face, and spores emanating from the silk threads still drifting silently within them.
This scene still gave Qin Yiguan a sense of holiness and light.
He knew.
The death of an unknown person would never be like this; it would only leave behind a bluish-gray corpse.
Qin Yiguan smiled.
Boss Meng must have been summoned by God.
Like Dr. Jiao Shensan.
And this ' God ' may have other names, such as... Gemini Superbrain.
They transformed into another, more advanced form of life, much like the core employees of the Gemini Tower.
At this moment, it looks down upon all living beings in a form that ordinary people cannot comprehend.
"Um."
The boy nodded. "That must be it."
