"I've finally waited for you."

Chen pushed open the door and walked in with Adam, and heard a gentle and magnetic male voice.

Inside the door is a small room with no other furnishings except for two soft leather sofas.

On the sofa facing the door, a man sat.

Blonde hair, handsome face, and immaculate figure.

Chen!

Another Chen!

Adam widened his eyes, looked at the man on the sofa in surprise, and then looked at Chen holding him: "You... why do you look exactly the same?"

Chen smiled: "Because he is me."

He looked at the "Chen" on the sofa: "It's been so long, has anyone come in?"

"No. Chen" shook his head: "Of course, it may be that I didn't meet. You know, if you want to reach the core, you only need to pass three random levels."

After saying that, he reached out and pointed to the sofa opposite: "Sit down and talk."

"No." Chen smiled: "I want to go there quickly."

"Don't you even sit down?" Chen frowned and smiled: "I finally saw you again, don't you even have the effort to say a few more words?"

"I remember...I'm not a person who likes to chat." Chen tilted his head and looked at "Chen" sitting on the sofa: "How could you..."

"Because this place is so lonely. Staying alone in such a place is like going to jail, and a person's personality will change. Even if I am your clone, Chen sighed and stretched out his palm with a wry smile: "Forget it, since you have returned here, I think you must be very anxious."

In his palm was a shining key.

"Thank you for your hard work." Chen nodded and picked up the key from "Chen"'s hand.

On the other side of the room, a door appeared on the wall.

"That's easy?" Adam looked at Chen in surprise.

"Of course." Chen shrugged: "Or why would I leave this back door for myself? However, a 50% chance of hitting the level I set is considered to be lucky."

"By the way, there's something I want to remind you."

Just as Chen pulled Adam to the opposite door, "Chen" suddenly turned his head from the sofa, stretched out an arm to support it on the backrest, and said lazily: "Although no one has entered the core, but... she has come."

"She?" Chen suddenly turned around and frowned.

"Yes. Chen" saw the expression on the other side's face and smiled: "I'm just a goalkeeper at the level, and there are very few things I can know. But... one thing I can be sure of is that she has modified her level. I don't know what the next level will be after you push open this door. But... I think I still need to tell you about this."

"I understand. Thank you." Chen was silent for a moment, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.

"Who is she? Why didn't he name it? You know who he is talking about?" Adam looked up curiously and asked Chen.

Chen hesitated for a moment, shook his head, stretched out his hand and gently touched Adam's head: "Didn't you tell you, Adam, he...is me."

He only answered Adam's second question, but did not answer the first one.

After saying that, Chen took a breath and opened the door handle in front of him.

When he saw the door being pulled open and the first light came out of the door, "Chen" just turned his head silently.

Then, a gentle sigh was heard.

...

"I made a mistake."

As soon as the door opened, Tianlie and Nicole had no time to step in, they heard a sound of zero coming from behind.

"What's wrong?" Tian Lie stopped halfway and turned around and asked.

"In order to arrange a relatively simple level for you, Chen passed faster in the end. I didn't expect that he actually left a back door for himself." Zero shook his head: "Now, he only has the last level left."

"Smart people sometimes do stupid things, let alone smart procedures." Tian Lie whistled and walked into the door.

This is the top of a lonely peak. Looking down from the top of the mountain and around, you can see thick clouds and endless ends.

The ground was covered with snow, and there was no footprint on it.

In front of the three people's sight, a man was sitting cross-legged in the snow, lowered his head, and used a small branch to write and draw something on the snow. Although there was ice and snow around him, he only had a simple set of single clothes on his body.

Hearing the sound of the three people in front of him, he just raised his head and took a simple look, then lowered his head again.

He has an extremely pale face, pale and almost transparent. Through his skin and muscles, he can even see the bones below.

"There is only one opponent this time?" Tianlie rubbed his fists: "It seems much easier."

"No." Zero shook his head: "This time, you don't need to or can't go through the battle. If you can't beat him, I'll negotiate with you."

While speaking, the man raised his head, stretched out his hand to smooth the content written on the snow, and then stood up and walked towards the three of them.

"Why did you bring it in? It seems that it is unruly." His eyes just swept across Tianlie and Nicole's faces quickly, and finally stayed on Zero's face.

Unlike his face, his voice was very old and hoarse, and he sounded like an old man in his twilight years.

Tianlie and Nicole also turned their eyes to Zero at the same time.

The first level they experienced was a maze without a guardian. In the second level, the wooden man in it had no self-awareness and had only had a combat instinct that was instilled in advance.

But this time the man in front of him was talking to Zero.

Obviously, he is...a living person with his own thoughts!

"There is no law and there is no irregularity." Zero said lightly: "Save some time, I hope to take them through here quickly. I know you are a reasoning person, Chris."

"Why?" The man named Chris smiled unquestionably: "I never thought you would one day bring people into your own core of control."

"Because of the command, I received orders from someone who has my permissions. I am different from you. I only have permissions to execute and are not qualified to question and change."

"What is the command?" Chris continued.

"Do everything to avoid giving a person a core authority."

"who?"

"A man named Chen."

Hearing the name, Chris' eyes suddenly narrowed: "You said... Chen?"

Zero looked at Chris: "Do you know him?"

"It's not considered acknowledging, it's just aware." Chris smiled: "The interesting thing is, you don't seem to know what this person looks like?"

"Of course I know. He is a senior player, the leader of the Thorn Flower Group. Among all the player files in my database, he is the strongest, perhaps no one." Zero's face still had no expression.

"No. It seems that you... do not know him." Chris sighed softly, but still smiled on his face: "Or it is, he no longer remembers him. It's really...it makes people feel moved."

"I know what you want to say." Zero looked at Chris: "He once had my highest authority, right?"

Chris suddenly widened his eyes: "You...you know?"

"I'm really just a program, but I'm not stupid." Zero showed a faint smile: "In one of these six levels, there is a guy who looks exactly the same as his. Although there is no memory of him in my database, I'm not bad at this most basic reasoning ability."

"Indeed..." Chris nodded slowly: "Since you know he once had your highest authority, then you..."

"Even if I know that he once had the highest authority, so what?" Zero Lengbingbing said: "My duty is to do things according to the orders of authority. Now he has no authority, so I must follow the orders I get to prevent him from seizing authority."

"Okay." Chris waved his hand: "So, how are you going to stop him from getting permission?"

Zero didn't seem to have much curiosity, just nodded and pointed at Nicole and Tianlie: "Let one of them get permission first. This is my only way at the moment."

"Let them get it?" Chris frowned: "Doesn't this mean..."

"Yes." Before Chris finished speaking, Zero nodded: "Zero City, as an entity, will disappear forever."

"You are also missing. Are you really ready to face this ending?" Chris laughed.

"It is the same result to have Chen obtained permissions. Besides, I have accepted the instructions." Zero's voice was still calm.

"Okay. I know this." Chris lowered his head and was silent for a while. When he raised his head, he suddenly laughed: "Then, go over."

He stretched out his hand and held a key in his palm.

"This is... OK?"

Tianlie and Nicole looked at each other, unable to believe their eyes.

Although the maze of the first level did not encounter any obstacles along the way, it was because of zero leads the way so smoothly.

If Nicole broke the formation of the second level, if it were only Nicole who broke the formation alone, she would probably have died long ago. Even without Tian Lie, Nicole would not stay in the red circle to fight to the death and could withdraw and start over. However, judging from the situation where the Wood Man can continue to evolve, even if she tried hundreds of times, she would probably not have the possibility of passing the level.

Although there is only one guardian of this third level, Tingling's tone was even stronger than Tianlie and Nicole combined.

But such a person handed over the key with just a few negotiations?!

"Thank you, Chris." Zero, who had been expressionless, smiled rare.

"If you can't laugh, don't laugh. It's ugly to squeeze it out." Chris shook his head: "I've been locked in this cage for a long time. I also want... to have a relief."

"I can guess, so I'll arrange this level for them." Zero looked at Nicole and Tianlie: "What are you waiting for? I can't touch this key."

Tianlie nodded, walked forward and picked up the key from Chris' palm, and a door immediately appeared in front of him.

"Go." Chris sat cross-legged again and slowly closed his eyes.

When Zero took the two of them into the door, the door slowly closed and disappeared, Chris's eyes suddenly opened again, and a flash of light flashed.

He reached out his hand, picked up the twig again, and scribbled a line of words on the snow.

After the line of text was written, a faint light flashed, and then quickly disappeared without a trace, and the snow returned to level.
Chapter completed!
