Chapter 278: Visitors

The depths of Ye Qingfeng's heart were pitch black. Looking at it, it seemed endless, yet a beam of light shone on him.

He didn't dare to explore the darkness outside, squatting on the ground, hugging his knees and staring blankly, appearing helpless and pitiful.

Am I dead? Or have I transmigrated again? Where is this?

Ye Qingfeng immediately realized his death, feeling calm and having no regrets.

He had never had any wishes or things he looked forward to from childhood to adulthood. If he could, he hoped to spend the New Year with them, but clearly, he couldn't do that.

"Long time no see!"

A familiar voice sounded behind him. Ye Qingfeng turned to look.

Senior Qing Yi?

"How are you in..."

No, it's not Senior Qing Yi. She looks half a head shorter than her. Could it be her daughter?

Can robots have children now? Technology is advancing really fast...

As if! This voice isn't the system, or rather, it's Xiao Zhi's!

"Xiao Zhi?"

Ye Qingfeng asked tentatively.

"Unhuh, it's me. Actually..."

"I guess you intend to confess to me now, right?"

Ye Qingfeng's tone was certain.

"That's right. Eh—I really don't understand. At times like this, you can suddenly see through other people's thoughts, but sometimes you're like a total blockhead."

Xiao Zhi sighed gloomily, then changed the subject. "I thought you were going to ask if you were dead or something. Now you finally look like the person in my memory—Dad!"

Ye Qingfeng was stunned, immediately feeling it was very reasonable. After all, various signs indicated that Xiao Zhi knew him, but he just hadn't expected it to be a father-daughter relationship.

Tsk! Abstract.

He accepted the identity almost immediately, sat up, and said, "You can eat food indiscriminately, but you can't speak indiscriminately! Hurry up and call me that again so I can hear it~"

"Just like Mom said, you're really cheap!"

Xiao Zhi complained out of the blue.

"Ahem, actually, it's mainly Senior Qing Yi... wait, it is Senior Qing Yi, right!"

Ye Qingfeng suddenly realized he hadn't confirmed who Xiao Zhi's mother was; it was just that her appearance made him think it was Senior Qing Yi.

"It definitely is! Who else could it be?" Xiao Zhi glared fiercely. "I don't have much time left. Shut up! Listen to me!"

"You speak..."

My personality isn't bad, and Senior Qing Yi is even more elegant and gentle. How did it become this personality with the daughter of the two of us?

Hmm! It must be Senior Qing Yi's problem.

"When time continuously flows to its end, everything in the world will restart. It's been unknown how many years after you, Mom, and the many aunts left.

Until the eve of the world's end, I penetrated all the knowledge in the world. My spirit, or soul, could manage to jump out of the body."

"After the world restarted, I don't know how many more years passed. My existence was somewhat perceived by a few people. They gave me a name—JINNI!"

"The specific ability is uploading and storing files!"

"Simply put, as information is uploaded, you know more and more information, becoming Baidu?" Ye Qingfeng thought for a moment. "That's not right! Aren't you Baidu right now?"

"I am, but I come from the future. I only started storing files after I truly met you," Xiao Zhi said, falling silent for a moment.

"In short, the time point is coming soon, so I can't and have no way to continue staying here. But don't worry, Dad, your system is something you already had.

Even I, who am omniscient and omnipotent, can only occasionally use the system to talk to you. Because of some reason, I was discovered by the system, and my existence will be erased.

But don't worry, Senior Qing Yi's childhood memory backup and body are both in the spatial backpack.

After this matter is over, when we see each other for the first time... thinking about it now, I still feel a bit nostalgic."

Xiao Zhi smiled with relief and asked, "Alright, I've said everything I need to say. Dad, do you have anything else to say to your future daughter?"

What would he say?

Move to tears? Pretend not to feel anything and act tsundere? Accept it calmly and say he will take good care of the current him?

Anyway, with Dad's troublesome personality, he wouldn't be able to say anything nice, even though he understands everything in his heart, his mouth is clumsy as hell.

Tsk! It's really worrying...

"Xiao Zhi, you've already been great. You've worked hard all these years." Ye Qingfeng opened his arms. "Before you leave, don't you want to feel the embrace of an old father again?"

Xiao Zhi's strong face showed emotion. Until Ye Qingfeng opened his arms, she finally couldn't bear the emotions in her heart, and two lines of tears flowed down her cheeks.

"You jerk of a dad!" She threw herself straight into Ye Qingfeng's arms, hugging him tightly. "Saying things like that when you're about to leave, it's really... too foul..."

It was clearly a spiritual space, and she shouldn't have been able to feel temperature, yet she could feel the warmth she hadn't felt for a long time from Ye Qingfeng.

After you all left, I was really lost, living every day so hard. Finally... finally I can feel a father's embrace again.

"Don't worry, I will take good care of Senior Qing Yi, and we will see each other again in a while, Xiao Zhi."

Ye Qingfeng could clearly feel the body in front of him slowly dissipating. He raised his head, smiled, pressed his palm on her head, and asked softly:

"How about this name? Ye Qingzhi?"

But how should Xiao Zhi answer Ye Qingfeng?

Her body was shattered, and even her face had dissipated for the most part, leaving only a pair of clear eyes, filled with reluctance and nostalgia, as well as the relief of having survived for unknown ages.

Ye Qingfeng stood motionless, staring into Ye Qingzhi's eyes until she completely disappeared, staring blankly at the position where she had existed, unable to calm down for a long time.

I don't know how much time passed. In the spiritual world, there seemed to be no concept of time. It could have been ten minutes or half an hour.

Ye Qingfeng lowered his head and murmured, "My previous life was really a failure, but now I understand, and it's not too late. Protection, right?

Protect everyone he values!"

It's time to wake up. I wonder how interesting Senior Qing Yi's expression will be when she sees Xiao Zhi for the first time!

As Ye Qingfeng closed his eyes, he slowly opened his eyes on the hospital bed, propped himself up on the bed board, and sat up, staring blankly ahead.

Although he said he didn't care, why did he feel so uncomfortable in his heart?

"You're awake?"

A cold voice sounded beside him, as if there was no emotion, only a simple inquiry.

"Who are you?"

Ye Qingfeng raised his eyes to look.

【Ding ding ding—! System restarting—!】

【Heresy removed.】

"..."

【Found target for conquest: Hoshimi Miyabi.】

【Initial favorability: 5%】

【Current favorability: 5%】

"Hoshimi Miyabi of Hollow Section 6, height 170cm."

The fox-eared girl's tone was indifferent, yet it gave people a feeling of emphasizing her height.

"That... what is the..."

Ye Qingfeng just wanted to ask about the specific situation when the ward door was pushed open forcefully, and the visitor walked in on their own.

As if returning home, they looked around arrogantly, their gaze finally resting on Ye Qingfeng.

"You must be the suspect!" Before the visitor could finish speaking, they noticed Hoshimi Miyabi to the side and understood the concerns in their heart. "Now I ask and you answer. Based on your answers, I will decide whether you are guilty or will join us. Friendly reminder!

It's best to tell the truth, otherwise, you won't be talking to me while lying on a hospital bed, but tied to a torture pillar for interrogation." ===== CHAPTER 279 =====
