The protagonist of this crossover film and television series is disrupting the plot again.

Chapter 608 Sand Sea 34

……

Li Cu was fiddling with the computer, the keyboard clattering loudly as he typed.

Upon hearing Su Wan mention Wu Xie, he chuckled softly and stopped what he was doing: "What do they have to do with us? We should sort out this mess in Gutongjing first, and then go back to continue building our spaceship."

Upon hearing this, Su Wan instantly forgot about Wu Xie and Fatty, his eyes filled with excitement: "No problem, our journey is to the stars and the sea, so building spaceships is more important."

Su Wan was one of the original owner's few good friends, so he didn't forget him when Li Chu was working hard. He studied with him, and after a year of hard work, Su Wan finally succeeded in flying low and was admitted to the same school as Li Chu.

However, due to insufficient scores and the need to repeat a year, he was ultimately assigned to another major.

But that doesn't matter, anyway, Li Chu eventually managed to get the person to his side.

As for his other friend Yang Hao, he dropped out of school after graduating from junior high and drifted into society. Li Cu really couldn't get him to stay by his side, so he could only help him increase his relevant knowledge as soon as possible, and he would not treat him badly in the future.

Li Cu's main purpose in coming to Gutongjing was to teach Wu Xie a lesson. Now that he had achieved his goal, he didn't want to linger here any longer, as that would only be a waste of time.

Thinking of this, Li Cu slowly turned around and looked at the two figures who had been standing in the room since earlier.

The two looked to be around seventeen or eighteen years old, and their height, build, and appearance were identical.

They were dressed in simple black clothes, each holding a black iron rod in their hands.

At this moment, the two stood there silently with their eyes closed, exuding a cold aura, as if they were just two statues placed in the room.

Li Cu walked up to the two of them and gently tapped behind their ears.

In an instant, the two opened their eyes almost simultaneously, a glint of light flashing in their azure pupils.

Immediately afterwards, the two of them stiffly turned their necks as if they were wound up like a machine. The movements were a little awkward, but they had a unique mechanical beauty.

They looked at Li Chu, quietly waiting for instructions from the person before them.

“Go on, the entrance to Gutongjing is over there,” Li Cu said softly, pointing out the window.

"it is good."

The two received the order, nodded, and immediately turned and left the room, heading straight for the depths of the ancient city of Tongjing.

Watching the two figures leave, Su Wan's eyes were filled with amazement, as if he had seen something incredible: "Ya Li, you are really amazing. I used to think that androids only appeared in movies, but I never expected that you would actually create two of them."

Li Chu smiled faintly, his smile carrying a hint of nonchalance.

Nothing more than that we separated two people in our past lives.

Although limited by current technology, these two are not as powerful as Wu Zhu, but they are more than capable of dealing with the things inside Gutongjing.

"But do you think... there really is a secret to immortality in Gutongjing?" Su Wan asked with great curiosity about Gutongjing.

As Li Chu tidied the documents on the table, he said unhurriedly, "I don't know, but what's so good about immortality? If the Queen Mother of the West could truly live forever, how could she only exist in legends? There are only two possibilities for this situation:"

First, there is no such thing as immortality in this world. The Queen Mother of the West died long ago, and her legend is just a story fabricated by later generations.

Secondly, immortality has significant side effects, causing the Queen Mother of the West to undergo some unknown changes, preventing her from appearing in public.

Neither situation is a good thing.

Su Wan thought about it and felt that Li Cu's words made sense, so he said, "I'm just curious. After all, the Wang family is almost obsessed with this. The Nine Gates have been involved for so many years, probably because they want to get the secret of immortality. It seems that everyone regards immortality as their lifelong pursuit."

Li Chu seemed to have thought of something. He paused in his work of tidying up the documents, turned his gaze to the void, and slowly said with a hint of a sigh in his voice, "There are many secrets in this world. Sometimes knowing them is not necessarily a good thing, and immortality is not necessarily a good thing either."

Like Zhang Qiling, he can live for hundreds of years and guarded the Bronze Gate for so many years, seeing the truth of this world, but what's the use?

He is always controlled by what is called divine mandate, and is forced to carry out some predetermined tasks.

Once the mission is complete, his memories will be forcibly erased, and he will receive a new divine gift, repeating this cycle endlessly until he loses his sense of self, becoming like a machine programmed with a set script.

“No! It’s different!” Li Chu paused for a moment, shook his head, and said with a hint of emotion in his eyes, “Zhang Qiling is a human! Machines can run on code, but humans can’t. They have blood, flesh, and feelings, and they feel pain because of the missions they are passively given and the memories they have lost or rather, the memories that have been forcibly rationalized.”

Every erasure of memory is a devastating blow to the soul; every divine gift is a deprivation of freedom.

Clearly, so-called immortality and the ultimate goal are not good things; they are a black hole, and whoever jumps in is destined for a bad end.

These words were not only for Su Wan's ears, but also a warning to himself.

From the Zhang family to the Wang family and the Nine Gates, they all devoted themselves to the legendary pursuit of immortality.

This period spanned nearly three thousand years, yet no one was able to truly achieve immortality.

The Zhang family members had long lifespans, but at most only two or three hundred years. Moreover, they had to constantly suffer from the aftereffects that followed. In the end, they were torn apart due to the collapse of their faith, leaving only the clan leader Zhang Qiling, who often suffered from amnesia.

The Wang and Zhang families have been fighting for so many years, yet they have been searching for immortality without success. Now, even Wang Zanghai's legacy is gone, and they still have to search all over the world for someone who can read pheromones. If Li Chu hadn't called the police, they would very likely have fallen into Wu Xie's trap and been completely destroyed.

As for the Nine Gates, although they seem incredibly powerful, they have actually been infiltrated by the Wang family. On the surface, they are suppressed by the state, but in secret, they are controlled by the Wang family. In the end, they were almost eliminated by Wu Xie, who was also a member of the Nine Gates.

The three groups suffered heavy losses: some died, some fled, some were killed, and some were injured; almost none of them fared well.

Now that the Wang family and the Nine Gates have been eradicated by the authorities, the Zhang family, though escaping unscathed, has its patriarch in prison...

Therefore, it is clear that immortality in this world is not a good thing at all.

It's best to keep your distance from him, lest you get your hands dirty and your mind corrupted; that would be a loss.
