In the learning s.p.a.ce, Number One, who had been meditating on the top of a mountain, suddenly opened his eyes. He looked at the sky above him. A few holes appeared. Instructors Two to Nine were all here."Number One, will the crisis this time affect Majesty Four?" Number Nine looked at Number One and frowned.
They saw how much Majesty Four grew up after he formed a pact with Ling Lan. Unconsciously, Number Nine started to treat him like her child too. She was the instructor who was the most worried about him.
"This crisis is also an opportunity too," Number One replied calmly.
Would he have to restart again or would he be able to evolve? It all depended on Majesty Four"s decision.
Number Nine remained quiet. She knew that Number One was right but she didn"t want Majesty Four"s data to disappear. Even if the main body is still Majesty Four, it wouldn"t be the lively and troublesome Little Four anymore. Compared to the emotionless, calm, and perfect Intellect King, she preferred the current imperfect Little Four who was emotional and had the temper of a child.
"To prevent Majesty Four from losing control just like the previous Intellect King and becoming a powerful and dangerous intelligent ent.i.ty, our country sent us to watch over him. They also added some restrictions to the main chip of Majesty Four. If Majesty Four"s evolution causes the appearance of some things they are afraid of, the rebooting system will be activated and Majesty Four will have to reboot." Number Three sighed. No one could decide who was in the right and who was in the wrong for what happened in the past. If the human race was willing to take a step back, the intelligent ent.i.ties wouldn"t have resisted against them. Mandora, which was the most advanced planet, wouldn"t be destroyed too.
"I feel that this might be a good thing for Little Four," Number Five smiled as he said.
"What do you mean?" Number Nine"s eyes lit up as she shouted hurriedly.
Number Five wouldn"t hide anything from Number Nine. He answered truthfully, "Majesty Four is no longer who he was before. He doesn"t look like it but he is quite powerful now. Plus…" Number Five smiled at Number Four. He seemed to be mocking her. "We still have Number Four"s disciple with us. Little Blossom is Majesty Four"s little brother. He will definitely help Majesty Four."
Number Four knew what Number Five meant. He was laughing at her because she still lost to the cold face Number One in the end. She snorted and looked up as though she didn"t see anything.
Number Nine thought about Number Five"s words carefully. Indeed, even they were afraid of Little Blossom"s ability. If Little Blossom wasn"t restricted by Ling Lan for him to not be able to swallow any spiritual ent.i.ty he wanted, they wouldn"t dare to get close to him.
"When Majesty Four saved Little Blossom that year, he had planted the seed for this opportunity. The people that set the restriction never expected the Doomsday Flower that is feared by the human race as well as all the intelligent ent.i.ties to come to Majesty Four. This time, they are not enemies. They are family." Number Five gave a meaningful smile. "If they worked together, they would be quite strong."
Number Six sighed. "I antic.i.p.ate their performance. Unfortunately, we can"t enter the chip world."
"Let"s wait and see quietly." The silent Number Two finally said something. Then, he followed Number One and merged with his shadow. It seemed like he would not leave until Little Four overcome his crisis.
Number Two seldom spoke but he was concerned about Ling Lan and Little Four too. If not, why would he appear here today? He was someone who liked to hide in dark corners and not mind other people"s businesses.
Number Two spoke what the other instructors were thinking. No one left Number One"s s.p.a.ce. They all found a place to sit down and wait for the result.
Finally, the rebooting started. Little Four looked at the walls around him turning transparent. They were filled with 0s and 1s. The 0s and 1s dispersed and moved towards him.
"d.a.m.n it, go away." Little Four waved his hands. The 0s and 1s got stopped by him. They couldn"t get near Little Four.
However, the command on the chip must be adhered to. Once the system started the rebooting process, it must complete. Little Four felt the pressure from the numbers growing stronger. His small hands started trembling and sweat started pouring down his face.
This was the world of his chip. It was his world. Only he could enter. No one was able to help him so he had to fight all alone.
His Boss, Ling Lan, didn"t even know that he was in a dire situation. Little Blossom might still be playing in his s.p.a.ce. He didn"t know that his brother was facing a crisis.
Little Four watched as the numbers came closer and closer to his body. Two drops of tears fell down from his face.
"I don"t want to disappear. I don"t want to start all over again. I want to live with Boss and Little Blossom forever. Am I unable to obtain such a simple dream?"
"I don"t want! I can"t give up like this. So what if it"s my own system? If I don"t want to do it, no one can force me!" Little Four shouted and the numbers that were almost going to engulf him were forced away again.
The numbers sensed that their target was resisting so they started spinning around Little Four furiously. Many other numbers flew out from the dark and joined the whirlpool of numbers. It moved towards Little Four menacingly.
"Is there really no way?" "I really couldn"t resist my own system?" Little Four hugged his body and squatted on the floor. His tears fell down his face into the emptiness.
Ling Lan suddenly felt pain in her heart. She clutched her heart and her face turned cold. She immediately entered the learning s.p.a.ce.
It was risky for her to enter the learning s.p.a.ce in such a dangerous place. However, Ling Lan sensed that Little Four was in danger so she disregarded everything.
The moment Ling Lan entered the learning s.p.a.ce, all the instructors who were in Number One"s s.p.a.ce felt it. Number One looked at Number Five. Number Five nodded and disappeared.
Number Nine"s feelings towards Ling Lan was too great. If she went out, she might say things she shouldn"t. That would make the situation worse.
The next second, Number Five appeared in front of Ling Lan. Before he could say anything, Ling Lan said coldly, "Don"t try to fool me. What"s wrong with Little Four?"
