The super-intelligent system Hongmeng awakens the moment its master approaches.
After Lin Ming and Bei Xinyao moved their families with their children, the Hongmeng system spontaneously fell into a deep sleep.
Without the people it wants to protect, its existence will naturally lose its meaning.
He looked at the villa that had been vacated, watching, looking forward to the owner's return one day.
Fortunately, now he has finally waited.
The cheerful reminder music woke up the little girl who was sleeping in her father's arms. She rubbed her eyes and heard a familiar voice. Before Lin Ming could get angry, she spoke softly.
"Dad, are we home?
I seemed to hear Xiaomeng’s voice.”
Lin Qi was still rubbing his eyes, but he was already struggling to jump out of his father's arms.
"I haven't seen Xiaomeng for a long, long time!"
Lin Ming, who was about to get angry, lost his mind because of his daughter's two words.
He asked his wife and children to leave the villa in Magic City just to avoid the attacks that were everywhere in the dark.
But he ignored that for some children, they may not understand what is safe and what is dangerous.
Perhaps in their minds, this place that has been growing up with them is a truly safe and warm home.
Frequently moving to unfamiliar places is not fun for children.
On the contrary, always going to unfamiliar places will make them feel uneasy.
Lin Ming reflected that he had only thought of this now.
Although he had returned to the Magic City before, he had never come back. He always rested in convenient places.
If Lin Qi hadn't come back and he had considered the children's thoughts and returned here, he might not have understood for a long time how harmful it was to the children to leave home.
He thought that everything he did was for the benefit of his children, but little did he know that several precocious babies were also trying to accommodate him.
Lin Ming bent down, put Lin Qi on the steps, and apologized to her gently.
"Sorry, honey, it was my father who was negligent. Let's go home and play with Xiao Meng."
Lin Qi returned to a familiar place, instantly became energetic and walked into the villa area like a fish in water.
Xiaomeng and his little masters had been separated for so long, and now he was very excited. All the equipment in the villa area moved together under his control.
When Yin Yao saw such a scene for the first time, he was stunned with excitement.
Did he accidentally travel to the future?
Through the open door, you can see the unmanned and automated machines in the living room.
"come in."
Lin Ming did not ignore Yin Yao, but seeing his shocked look, he simply said hello and walked in.
In the living room, Lin Qi and Xiao Meng were having fun.
Yin Yao sat on the sofa cautiously.
Seeing Lin Qi's happy appearance, Lin Ming felt depressed for a while.
Maybe he really did something wrong. He thought that taking the children away was a good thing, but he ignored the children's own feelings.
With Xiao Meng here, Lin Ming didn't have to worry about someone intruding without fear of death. He turned around and walked to the second floor to call Bei Xinyao.
Speaking of Lin Qi's sudden return, I don't know what's going on on Long Island.
Maybe he has gone crazy.
Just as Lin Ming guessed, Bei Xinyao and the others were going crazy.
Lin Qi could not be found, which gave Bei Xinyao many bad guesses.
She was worried that her daughter would be quietly robbed to a dark place, tortured and hurt like herself.
For a moment, it actually triggered a psychological shadow that she had suppressed for a long time.
Lin Ming's call came so unexpectedly that it even made Bei Xinyao shudder when she thought about it in the empty room.
She was afraid that she would get some bad news, so she took the phone with trembling hands, and breathed a sigh of relief when she found that the person on the phone was calling from her husband.
"Lin Ming~"
Bei Xinyao's hand holding the phone was trembling, and her voice was trembling involuntarily.
"Lin Qi is here with me, are you worried?"
As soon as Lin Ming heard his wife's voice, he roughly guessed her appearance, and the call instantly switched to video.
It took a while before the video was connected, and Bei Xinyao's haggard face appeared in the video.
His red eyes and white lips all showed his poor mental state.
Seeing Bei Xinyao's appearance, Lin Ming was so distressed that he didn't know what to say.
"Wife——"
The stern man actually choked up a little.
"Lin Qi found?"
Bei Xinyao still couldn't believe what she just heard, so she stretched out her hand to cover her trembling lips and asked again.
"You heard it right, she is at home now, and we are in Shanghai."
Worried that Bei Xinyao wouldn't believe it, Lin Ming said to Xiao Meng.
"Xiaomeng, repost the video from the living room."
In the video, the little girl is wearing an ugly black eye patch and is having a great time playing with Xiaomeng.
Bei Xinyao burst into tears, as if she wanted to let out all the grievances and fears in her heart.
"I, I thought..."
Lin Ming looked at his wife on the other end of the video with distress and kept saying sorry.
"Sorry, sorry..."
As a husband, he not only failed to provide a stable life for his wife and children, but also caused them to become homeless, which made him feel an unprecedented sense of frustration.
"Yao Yao, am I a failure..."
"If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have to leave your hometown, and you wouldn't have to be so worried..."
Lin Ming gently covered his eyes with one hand to prevent the person opposite from seeing the vulnerability in his eyes.
Bei Xinyao finally sorted out her emotions, and saw her husband falling into self-blame and comforted him.
"Why do you think so?"
"We are a family. A family shares blessings and suffers together."
"You have done a great job. It is not you who should blame yourself, but those who destroyed our originally beautiful family. Those people should reflect on it."
Lin Ming put down his hand, looked at his wife across the video, and suddenly asked.
"Yao Yao, do you want to come back?"
"Go back to the devil's capital."
"Although it may not be that safe, I will do my best to protect you."
"May I?"
Bei Xinyao was very surprised.
"Won't it disturb your plans?"
"Would it cause any trouble for you if we go back?"
No one wants to leave their hometown and go to a strange place. Although Longdao is safe, it is not her home. She does not suffer bad treatment here, but she feels unfamiliar and uncomfortable everywhere.
It would be great if I could go back.
Lin Ming kept watching him and naturally did not miss the surprise in his eyes.
For this he couldn't help but blame himself in his heart.
Look, Lin Ming, look what stupid things you have done.
It is too frustrating to have my wife and daughter move around for the sake of my opponent, and to have them hide in unfamiliar places.
If a man can't protect his wife and children, what's the use of all his skills?
