Gu Zhiqi ignored him, finished with the needles and casually stuffed them into his pocket, took a slight step back, and looked at Gu Bo with a sudden, devilish smile, "Actually, you hardly have any destiny left in you."
On hearing this, Gu Bo was momentarily taken aback, his eyes a mixture of fear and bewilderment, as he looked at Gu Zhiqi with a mix of confusion and horror.
"Your destiny has been taken away too, including what you took from me, as well as your own. The time it was taken... was probably around five years ago," Gu Zhiqi said lazily and carelessly as he watched Gu Bo.
Gu Bo’s pupils constricted upon hearing this, as if struck by thunder. He froze completely, his face cycling through shades of green and white – it was quite a spectacle.
Gu Zhiqi lost interest in watching his highly entertaining expressions and moved his fingertips lightly, forming a gesture in front of him. Soon, a semi-transparent Formation appeared between his hands.
Noticing Gu Zhiqi’s movements, Gu Bo regained his composure, his eyes once again filled with dread as he stared fixatedly at Gu Zhiqi.
Under Gu Bo’s terrified gaze, Gu Zhiqi injected the Formation into the center of his forehead.
That night, Gu Yuluo stayed over at Tang Yun’s place.
In just two short days, so many things had happened that Gu Yuluo felt as if the days were as long as years.
Gu Yuluo, holding her phone, hesitated for a long time but eventually opened the messaging conversation with Moon.
[Fall: Boss, I’ve got a question]
The message had barely been sent for three seconds before Moon replied.
[Moon: Check the Network Manager system]
Since Moon said so, Fall had no choice but to check. She set aside the doubts in her heart for the moment and opened the Network Manager system.
She was totally clueless until she checked, and upon checking, Fall was utterly dumbfounded.
Without a second thought, she immediately made a voice call to Moon. After 25 seconds of ringing, the call was answered.
"Old... um, Moon, what’s with the Network system? How did it suddenly upgrade?" Remembering that the person on the other end might be her own sister, Gu Yuluo changed her address mid-sentence, no longer calling her ’boss’, and continued to inquire about the Network system.
In the past, upgrading the Network Manager system had always been a collaborative effort involving code writing by the seven of them, but this time she had not taken part at all, nor had she received any notification.
Gu Xiyue didn’t notice that Gu Yuluo’s way of addressing her had changed, responding with a detached tone, "Jiu did it."
"By themselves?!" Gu Yuluo exclaimed in astonishment.
"Yes, by themselves. They even sent me a message, take a look," Gu Xiyue spoke coldly, her voice still detached but now with a hint of complexity and speechlessness?
Gu Yuluo’s curiosity suddenly peaked. What message could leave Moon speechless?
Soon after, Gu Xiyue sent Gu Yuluo a screenshot.
Upon receiving it, Gu Yuluo immediately opened and glanced at the image.
[Jiu: Your system is so low, huh]
[Jiu: As the new Network Manager, Lord Jiu decided to refine it for you]
[Jiu: Don’t thank me too much~]
[Jiu: Just remember to pay the salary]
The screenshot showed only four messages Jiu sent to Moon; the first three brimmed with arrogance and conceit, and as for the last, Gu Yuluo ignored it outright.
"This guy... so f***ing arrogant!"
Even through the screen, Gu Yuluo could feel the arrogance and smugness emanating from that person.
But if she had that skill, she would be just as arrogant and conceited!
"Take a look at the backend code," the cool voice came from the other end of the call.
At the prompt, Gu Yuluo immediately opened the backend, skimmed through the code roughly, and then... took a good look again.
After that, she read it over and over, and after a long while, Gu Yuluo finally spoke up.
"F***! This person... must be a freak!"
Could this even be code conceived by a human?!
