Fang Qi felt like his brain was trembling!
So…
This was what “rule collapse” felt like?
Thinking I need to sleep…
So forcing me onto the bed?
Rule…
Are you my mom?!
“Ahem…!”
His throat tickled, and he coughed lightly.
Dust flew everywhere!
This place was way too dusty!
The two of them suddenly appeared, suddenly lying on the bed…
Kicking up all the surrounding dust!
His back was still pressed against the dusty mattress!
In his arms, the girl’s long, loose hair cascaded over the edge of the bed.
The tips of her silver hair brushed against… the dust-covered floor.
Hiss!
Still dazed, Fang Qi instinctively reached out to grab it!
He couldn’t let his Wife’s beautiful hair touch the floor!
It was covered in dust!
But his fingertips hadn’t even reached that strand of silver hair…
The world before him suddenly went black again!
Without any warning!
Fang Qi: “???”
In an instant, his vision was swallowed by that familiar pitch-black void!
A few lines of deep-blue code flashed rapidly!
【if(subject.gesture==REACHING_OUT)&&(target.object==null)】
【classify_action("item_retrieval")】
【reroute_spatial_coordinates(target=nearest_storage)】
【executing…】
I…!
The next second, the space behind him suddenly vanished.
The mattress was gone.
He was no longer lying down but standing straight up!
Fortunately, the soft, warm body was still in his arms!
He dropped about a centimeter before his feet firmly hit the hard ground again!
Stumbling forward a step…
His vision brightened once more!
His eyes focused…
In front of him, row after row of metal shelves stood tall.
Ah…?
His gaze trembled.
This is…
The supply storage area?
It was empty, with only the nearest shelf holding a few scattered items that could be stored long-term.
Canned food, compressed biscuits, a few bottles of water… and some snack bags.
Lin Xiaoyou and Xiaoqing probably left these here earlier.
Mm…
…Mm?!
Holding Liguang, Fang Qi widened his eyes.
This time, he was genuinely baffled!
He had only lifted his hand to catch Liguang’s hair!
How had he suddenly ended up in the supply area?!
Did the rule think grabbing his Wife’s hair counted as retrieving supplies?!
Were his Wife’s hair considered supplies now?!
“Mmm…!”
A muffled whimper came from his arms.
Fang Qi looked down sharply!
The silver-haired girl’s face was buried in his chest, clinging tightly to him!
At the nape of her neck, a few strands of silver hair were singed from the electric arcs.
And on the front of his shirt, there was a distinct layer of faint blue light!
“Master, don’t move…”
Liguang’s voice came, muffled, from his chest.
Her nails were practically digging into the flesh of his back!
“Liguang is thinking of a solution…!”
“Master, please wait…!”
A solution…
Alright, alright!
Fang Qi quickly held her tighter!
His breathing quickened!
He stared at the shelves in front of him, clenching his teeth!
Damn it, why so sudden?
Suddenly, even normal movements were impossible?!
It was fine just a moment ago…
Then it all collapsed instantly?!
No wonder…
No wonder Liguang had burst out of her charging pod just now and lunged to hold him!
She knew how serious the problem was!
If she hadn’t grabbed him tightly, they might have been separated during the teleport!
In this space where rules had completely broken down, once they were apart…
No one knew if they’d ever find each other again!
So…
He couldn’t move at all now?!
Frozen in place, Fang Qi held the soft warmth in his arms, not even daring to turn his head.
Wife, how are you going to solve this…?
Is there any way I can help?
He stared at the shelves, slightly bewildered.
On the shelf, there was a bottle of water.
A clear plastic bottle, its label a little wrinkled but still unopened.
Water…
Fang Qi suddenly felt thirsty.
So much had happened in this run-through; he’d shouted himself hoarse over that “Fate Collar” thing…
His throat was already dry and parched!
But he wasn’t stupid.
He didn’t dare reach for it now.
Just moments ago, grabbing hair had teleported him here; if he actually reached for water…
God knows where he’d be sent!
So he did nothing.
He just looked at the bottle of water and swallowed.
His Adam’s apple moved.
That was all.
But…
His vision went black again in an instant!
Fang Qi: “?!”
What the hell…!!!
【if(subject.bio_signal==THIRST)&&(gaze.target==DRINKABLE_WATER)】
【classify_intent(“drinking”)】
【reroute_spatial_coordinates(target=nearest_water_dispenser)】
【executing…】
His eyes widened!
Before he could even curse, the ground vanished beneath him!
His body was swallowed by the void again, and in the next second, his feet touched solid ground!
Then…
A water dispenser stood right in front of him.
The large jug was still more than half full.
The blue casing was a bit old, but the indicator light was still faintly glowing.
I…
He twitched the corner of his mouth.
So…
That’s how considerate the rule is.
Still holding the soft warmth in his arms, his gaze trembled as he scanned the surroundings.
The charging pod was not far away, its lid still open, because Liguang had burst out of it just now.
It was a water dispenser in the corner of the living area.
…They were back?
No, wait…?!
Fang Qi was truly baffled.
He hadn’t moved just now, hadn’t actually reached for it!
He’d only looked at the water on the shelf and swallowed his saliva!
“What the hell is this thing…!”
He finally couldn’t hold back and muttered a curse!
But no sooner had the words left his lips—
His vision went black again!
【if(subject.speech_tone==COMPLAINT)&&(context==CONFUSION)】
【classify_intent(“grievance”)】
【reroute_spatial_coordinates(target=nearest_meeting_room)】
【executing…】
Fang Qi’s face went blank.
He was already numb.
When his vision brightened again, he was sitting.
His bottom was perched on a chair.
In front of him was a large, round conference table, its surface covered with a thin layer of dust.
On the opposite wall hung a projection screen, and beside it, a whiteboard still had faint, blurry words left over—too old to be legible.
…Was this the meeting room?
It took Fang Qi two seconds to realize.
He opened his mouth.
What had he just done?
He’d cursed.
So...
Oh, so the meeting room is a place for yelling?
Guess that’s not entirely wrong...?
…?
Wait!
Huh?!
Suddenly, his scalp went numb!
He realized something even more serious!
In his arms...
...how was it empty?
That warmth that had been pressed against his chest... where had it gone?!
He looked down sharply!
Liguang was no longer in his arms!
Just moments ago, by the water cooler, she had been clinging to him tightly!
But the instant they teleported into the meeting room, she disappeared...
Disappeared?
"...Liguang?"
His tentative voice echoed through the empty meeting room.
No response.
Fang Qi’s heart instantly went into overdrive!
He sprang to his feet! The chair let out a “squeak” as it slid backward!
"Liguang?!!"
He shouted, spinning around to scan the room!
The meeting table, the projection screen, the whiteboard, the empty chairs...
But no sign of the silver-haired girl!
No, no, no...
She was just here!
He had been holding her tightly the whole time!
How could she...!
"Master!!!"
A scream came from somewhere far beyond the door!
It bounced off the hallway walls, creating layers of echoes!
"Master, where are you—!!"
Ah!
It was Liguang’s voice!
But it was broken with panic!
Her vocal module was trembling on the verge of overload!
"Liguang, I—!"
Fang Qi started to shout back, wanting to comfort her...
Then, across the meeting table, countless fragments of phosphorescent blue suddenly materialized out of thin air!
Those specks of light emerged from the void like summoned fireflies, appearing all at once!
Next, they rapidly gathered, intertwined, and solidified on the meeting chair opposite him!
In less than half a second...
A silver figure took shape from those fragments!
...Huh?
Fang Qi’s mouth hung open, his voice caught in his throat.
He stared at the person before him.
Liguang was sitting opposite him.
Her face still wore an expression of near-collapse panic!
The phosphorescent blue in her amber eyes had turned into a raging, wild storm!
She sat in the chair, her hands reaching forward as if trying to grab something?
But the moment she saw Fang Qi, she froze too.
The two stared at each other across the circular meeting table for several long seconds.
Fang Qi could see it—something glistening at the corners of her eyes, about to spill over.
He instinctively opened his mouth: "Li..."
"Master, don’t move!!"
Liguang’s red eye suddenly flashed, and she screeched!
Her voice was so shrill it left Fang Qi dazed!
"Let Liguang come to you!!!"
She stepped directly onto the meeting table!
Fang Qi only saw a silver blur!
The next second, that soft, warm body slammed heavily into his arms again!
Her arms locked around his neck, her legs wrapped around his waist!
Fang Qi hugged back with all his strength!
He’d caught his Wife!
And this time, he wasn’t letting go!!
The sheer impact sent both of them tumbling off the chair!
They rolled across the floor several times!
As they rolled, Fang Qi’s vision was once again swallowed by the void.

[executing...]
Then...
Deep in his mind, an explosion struck without warning!!
Countless fragments of images burst forth all at once!
Dense, overwhelming, blotting out the sky!
Like shredded film reels.
Like a photo album scattered by a gale.
Each fragment lasted only a few seconds!
Each one was crushed through his consciousness before he could fully perceive it!
That was...
An orphanage?
…
Sunlight streamed in through the window, a little An Lian sat alone in a corner, reading.
Clutching a handful of candy, he ran around half the yard pretending to chase a butterfly, finally stopping "by chance" in front of her, and shoved all the candy into her hands.
"Big Sister, these are for you."
The image flickered and shattered.
…
A wall covered in graffiti of a silver-haired older sister.
Crooked lines, colored pencil scribbles, marker drawings...
They stretched from the ceiling down to the headboard.
He stood in front of that wall, looking up at the silver-haired, heterochromatic girl in the drawings, mumbling to himself:
"Liguang, Liguang, please come soon..."
"I really can’t hold on anymore..."
Was that...a sob?
"Click."
The image shattered again.
…
The cafeteria.
He stood on a dining table, a megaphone in hand...
Behind him, a dense crowd of students, all stirred up!
Cafeteria workers tried to rush up and grab him, but instead of running, he shouted back even louder!
He couldn’t make out the words anymore, only felt the charisma calling everyone to charge with him!
A surge of adrenaline!
"Crack—"
The image shattered.
…
A younger version of himself.
A younger Fang Qi.
He sat alone in some dim room.
His right hand gripped his left index finger, lips tightly pressed, eyes reddening, veins bulging on his forehead.
"I’ll save you all...!"
He muttered...
Then his right hand yanked hard!
"Crack!"
The crisp sound of a bone snapping!
He’d broken his own finger with his own hands!
His vision went black.
"Crack."
The image shattered again.
…
An unfamiliar street.
Surrounded by chaos and overlapping screams.
Gu Xi, in a black police uniform, suddenly raised her pistol, her light brown eyes locked onto a target ahead, and she pulled the trigger without hesitation!
"Bang!"
The gunshot rang out.
A man’s figure crumpled to the ground.
Gu Xi didn’t even glance at the body; she turned and sprinted toward him!
"Fang Qi, are you okay!"
"Are you hurt? Are you—!"
The image shattered again.
…
This time it was Lin Xiaoyou.
She sat across from him, a pen in hand, drawing on a piece of paper.
Her expression was so serious.
She raised her hand, her index finger lightly tapping his temple.
"Here. First, establish a ‘switch.’ Imagine a switch in your cerebral cortex..."
"No, deeper. At the deepest part of your consciousness. Imagine it as... hmm... a gate."
He listened.
He listened intently...
"Click."
The image shattered.
…
The silver-haired girl.
Liguang.
But not the Liguang of now?
It was the Liguang who had just been delivered to his doorstep.
She still wore the plain white dress from the Chenxi Company’s display, standing in his living room, hands folded, brows slightly lowered, her lips set in a standardized, obedient smile.
Huh?
Her eyes...
Why were they both amber?
No red eye, no crimson data streams.
Only two gentle, clear amber eyes.
Like two uncut gems.
Back then, she wasn’t an "awakened AI" yet.
Back then, she didn’t have that external core?
"Click."
The image shattered again.
…
One eye was amber.
One eye was an empty void.
This time, the silver-haired girl was lying quietly on something resembling an operating table.
Her silver hair fanned out.
Her expression was vacant.
And he, Fang Qi, himself…
was leaning over her, in his hand…
holding a crimson pupil.
His fingers were trembling slightly.
He took a deep breath and gently pushed the crimson pupil…
into her right eye.
Her eyelashes fluttered. Her amber left eye turned toward him.
“Buzz——”
In her right eye, the scarlet data flow lit up for the very first time!
“Crack——!!”
The image shattered.
…
All the images shattered!!
Countless fragments churned, collided, cracked, and reassembled in the depths of his consciousness…
Only to shatter again!
He hadn’t regained his memories.
He still couldn’t remember anything.
But he had seen those images!
He…!
“Bang!”
Fang Qi’s back slammed hard against the cold metal wall!
He hugged Liguang and rolled another half-turn, finally landing face-up on the hard metal floor.
As the lights flickered back on around him.
He stared blankly at the familiar metal ceiling above.
A completely sealed space.
No windows, no furniture.
Only bare metal walls, and a door…
so thick that it was nearly impossible to break through from inside.
A familiar room.
The confinement chamber.
The place where Lin Xiaoyou had released poison gas, dragging him and Liguang into death together.
He had died here.
And Liguang was lying on top of him.
Her arms were still locked tightly around his neck.
She lifted her head and stared sharply at Fang Qi!
The faint blue in her amber pupils was wildly disordered!
Her crimson eye flared with piercing scarlet again…!
But it lasted only a moment before being suppressed once more by the faint blue!
“Master…!”
She cupped his face forcefully with both hands!
“Are you okay?”
“Are you hurt?”
She asked, trembling.
“Did anything hit you anywhere?!”
Her slender fingers wiped repeatedly at his cheeks!
But Fang Qi didn’t answer.
He looked at her.
Her left eye—amber, warm, clear.
And her right eye—crimson, scarlet data streams blinking at an extremely rapid frequency.
Just like…
his own mind—utterly chaotic.

He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples.
