" Elder Liu, what's going on? They killed someone like that?"
When they met again, the mysterious old man from the East was clearly very dissatisfied with Elder Liu.
"That woman is no simpleton." Elder Liu shook his head with a wry smile. "I wanted to hold back, but at that distance, I could feel it. If I hesitated even slightly, I would be the one dead."
"Who do you think wants to kill you?" the old man asked, frowning.
"I don't know. But the timing was perfect," Elder Liu said in a low voice. "If I die here, many things will be difficult to investigate in order to cover it up, which will allow the mastermind behind it to get away with it. It seems we've already been exposed."
"Is that so?" The old man frowned. The security here was very good; everyone had to go through multiple checks, except for that group of newly arrived game designers. If the other side were to target this group, it would indeed be difficult to deal with.
But we were so close!
The old man looked at his withered arms, his eyes dark. The moment had come, and he had no time to lose. To maintain his position, this experiment had to succeed, not fail!
"Now that the data analysts are gone, those who remain must be cautious. They were also the original designers of this game and should know much more than the average person."
"That's true," Elder Liu nodded, "I hope we can make it in time."
"If there's not enough time, we'll have to make do with this simulation environment for now."
"This environment?" Elder Liu was taken aback. "Haven't you read the content? This game is designed to torture people; surviving in it won't be easy."
"But you can reincarnate indefinitely, can't you?"
"But Pu Yunchuan said that it's only possible for now. Originally, the plan was to cut off the Samsara system in the final stage. It was precisely because of this that player data would be reset to zero, which caused a conflict with the chief planner."
"So the final version of that game can be Samsara indefinitely."
"That's the online version," Elder Liu frowned. "We're using the old version that we kept from back then. If we want to use the latest patch, we need to be online."
"Contact that game company and have them send over the latest patch. Just upload it here." The old man said in a low voice, " Pu Yunchuan is connected to the supercomputer and is perfecting this world view, trying to make the game as comprehensive and realistic as possible. His role is essential, but we absolutely cannot let him out, do you understand?"
Elder Liu nodded upon hearing this. Once connected to the internet, Pu Yunchuan would be like a dragon swimming in the ocean, and no one could do anything to him unless the entire world's internet was shut down.
"I'll make the arrangements," Elder Liu said, getting up.
"You should rest for a bit," the old man said, getting up as well. "This was quite a fright. I'll contact the game company."
Elder Liu didn't think much of it and nodded, "Okay."
But when he turned around, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
Pu Yunchuan observed everything and began to form some guesses in his mind.
The place I am in now may be some kind of real memory environment. Although it has trapped me, it is also my best chance to understand the truth of what happened back then. If I miss this opportunity, I may never have another chance to find out what really happened back then.
With this in mind, he no longer hesitated and made an important decision!

After leaving the conference room, Elder Liu slowly returned to his lounge, which was fully equipped with everything he needed, including an intelligent nanny robot that was responsible for serving cigarettes and drinks at any time.
"Mr. Liu, your optimal bedtime is nine o'clock. The doctor recommends a glass of warm milk before bed. Shall we prepare it for you now?"
Elder Liu didn't even look up, and said calmly, "You make the arrangements."
Upon hearing this, the robot did not immediately retreat to prepare the milk as usual, but instead slid its four wheels and slowly approached.
Elder Liu noticed the robot's unusual behavior, looked up in surprise, and saw that the robot was staring intently at Elder Liu phone. "The doctor recommends that you drink a glass of warm milk before bed. Shall I prepare it for you now?"
Elder Liu frowned, initially thinking there was something wrong with the device. Just as he was about to call someone outside, he suddenly noticed that the robot's finger, whether due to a malfunction or not, pointed at his own phone.
He was taken aback at first, but then immediately realized that when the robot raised its hand, its back was blocking the blind spot of the surveillance camera behind it. Based on his experience as a former special agent, he immediately judged that the surveillance camera could not see the small movements of the robot's hand at this time.
Elder Liu immediately stopped himself from calling out, staring blankly at the other person. After hesitating for two seconds, he nodded slightly. "Okay, heat up the milk and bring it in."
"Okay, please wait a moment." The robot bowed respectfully and then immediately stepped back, showing no signs of malfunction.
Liu remained expressionless, took off his coat, lay half-reclined on the bed, picked up his phone, and opened Plants vs. Zombies.
The monitor above saw this scene, flashed slightly, and then shifted its view to where the robot had left.
Seeing this out of the corner of his eye Elder Liu switched the interface without hesitation, opened the settings, and clicked on the network.
Sure enough, a new hotspot named "Milk" appeared on the local network!
"Interesting." Elder Liu pursed his lips and connected to the trending topic without hesitation.
--
It was a very dangerous move, which could have completely exposed him, but given the unreal nature of his memories, he had every reason to take the risk.
The moment the other party connected to the hotspot, Pu Yunchuan quietly hid the hotspot. After confirming that no one else would notice, he controlled the other party's phone through the network they were connected to.
The phone screen still showed the Plants vs. Zombies game. The old man was terrible at it, but he enjoyed it immensely. Chen Qing, on the other hand, was able to type text in the single-player mode using the input bar.
"Hello, Old General Liu."
"Hello," Elder Liu quickly replied on the typewriter, "How should I address you? Mr. Pu Yunchuan or some other new person?"
"Whatever you say," Pu Yunchuan said calmly. "I saw everything Elder Liu did today. So, what are your plans?"
"I already told you, she tried to kill me, I acted in self-defense. What are your plans? Oh, by the way, that girl must be your friend, right? Are you perhaps in league with her?"
"Trying to use this excuse to get rid of me? I'm afraid the other major investors won't buy it."
Elder Liu smiled and said, "That's true."
If he could, he would have done it already; there would be no need for him to go through all this trouble to shoot an innocent little girl.
"I'd really like to know, what are you thinking?"
"What are you thinking?" Elder Liu remained silent. At this moment, even someone of his stature hesitated on how to answer.
"How about I guess?"
"Oh? Okay, then you can guess."
" Elder Liu doesn't want those people to become immortal data beings, right?"
"Where did this theory come from? This project cost me most of my life savings. Getting on this ship wasn't easy. Why would I, an old man, sabotage it?"
"Does the old man want to be the only one?"
"Hahaha, are you kidding me? Don't you know what kind of background those people have? Trying to get rid of them and become the only one is the same as becoming public enemy number one. What would I be after?"
"For the sake of peace in this world."
Upon hearing this, Elder Liu's smiling face immediately froze. Even through the screen, Pu Yunchuan could feel the coldness emanating from this War God of the Central Federation!
