Star: What dark alchemist? So those documents can just be handed over to Skywalker for processing?

Hua Wu: That's what it's supposed to do, but it usually only takes care of my department.

Xing: So, when are you coming back?

Hua Wu: Actually, I've already come back, but I'm somewhere you can't see me.

Xing: ? So what did you guys go to do?

Hua Wu: Go and elbow the struggling little brother away.

Star: What is the "difficult birth of the youngest brother"?

Hua Wu: Forget about things that don't matter.

Xing: What?

Xing put away her phone with a dark expression, but since things had come to this, it didn't matter anymore. Let Zhenzhu practice her memory.

After all, judging from the choppy audio quality of Zhenzhu's phone calls, Zhenzhu's system needs an upgrade.

It's really lame that a chairman plus the documents from the talent incentive department and the technology research and development department can't handle everything.

As the only AI among the ten core members of the company, whose system would freeze even when processing a simple document, she had it all done in one go.

Epilogue 10 (Bonus Chapter)

"The first person we saw when we went out was our unconscious father, Ji?"

"What did Himeko feed her dad? Did she kill him? Do I have to go back to those thirty-odd years ago again to fish him out?"

Hua Wu looked down at Ryusuke, who was slumped over the table, reeking of coffee.

He was in a bad mood. He had finally managed to meet the conditions for a perfect ending, but after going out for a while, he discovered that the protagonist had gone crazy and created a dead save file.

Hua Wu: Ugh... damn it! You should at least try to improve your relationship with your father! What the hell is this, poisoning your own father to death?!

"Are you kidding me? Is this the wisdom of a navigator? We've come this far, and you're still testing us?"

"If he doesn't drink himself to death, he's a fake father; if he drinks himself to death, he's a real father? After testing him, do you hold the corpse of a real father and start a funeral that's 30 years overdue?"

Hua Wu always felt that Himeko was conducting some kind of mysterious test.

"Hey, Himeko's dad, are you still alive?"

Ryusuke opened his eyes and looked up at Huawu standing under the light. He couldn't see Huawu's face clearly because the light was too bright.

"Who are you...?"

"That's not important. Tell me, how did you manage to achieve this ending? What makes you think your body, worn out from all that running around, can handle this kind of drink?"

"This coffee smells consistent, but the raw materials are completely random, and the effects of drinking it are also completely random. Unfortunately, it seems you've triggered some adverse effects."

As Ryusuke listened to these words, he felt as if he were invisible in front of this man.

"My resurrection...is because of you?"

"Yes. You got it right, Jiba-chan. It was worth it for me to take down Uncle Guishou 30 years ahead of schedule, achieving a double kill from the present and the past."

Ryusuke:?

That tone, that speaking style... Ryusuke had a bad feeling.

"Whose face are you wearing? What are you trying to take from me this time?"

Hua Wu frowned slightly; he seemed to have heard something interesting.

"What? Do you and your daughter have the same thought process? The daughter tried to poison her own father, and the father tried to elbow his benefactor?"

"My God... The curse of the god-man in the Two-Phase Paradise has taken effect? ​​Neither god nor two-phase, right? It feels like you guys have been contaminated by Aha's genes."

"Let me reiterate the current situation for you. You, Ryusuke, died more than 30 years ago in a prayer hall less than 6 meters from the graves of six-year-old Himeko and your wife."

"Cause of death...attempting to kill the Great Lord of Annihilation—Gui Ji. Also known as Uncle Gui Dice."

"Although Uncle Gui is an extraordinary maggot, he is still Nanuk's blood drinker. Without a doubt, you were instantly killed."

"The current situation is that I deleted him before he could kill you. It's like an individual texture in editing software. I replaced him with you. But I didn't care about the intermediate runtime nodes, or keyframes."

"The reason for the current situation is... that you, in your mortal body, did the things that Guiji did behind the scenes. But... you yourself are unaware of it."

"The Death Demon of fifteen years ago... because you replaced Guiji, it became your doing. Even... it was you who chatted with the other Great Lords and commanded the illusory soldiers."

"To make up for what's to come now, Brother Tree has chosen the fate of elbowing you."

Ryusuke:?

He was stunned. What did it mean that after being resurrected, Guiji's actions had all become his?

Is this some new kind of prank? And what was this "Death Demon" from fifteen years ago? He'd never even heard of it.

He doesn't remember anything.

"Is the price of survival... the burden of sin?"

Hua Wu merely gave Fate a brutal elbow strike; as for what consequences Fate might cause by touching its wound and then jumping around on the causal line in pain, that remains to be seen.

Just like Ryusuke now, because of the pain of fate, he directly took the name of returning to silence.

After all, the probability of a mortal entering a deadly trap alone without being discovered by the Great Lord is not zero. As long as it is not zero, there is room for fate to be manipulated.

"No, it's just that I forgot to change it. It's okay, anyway, Guiji hasn't used your appearance to do anything bad. Your face is still safe, and you can even receive a pension from the academy."

Ryusuke didn't care; he couldn't remember it anyway, it simply wasn't in his mind. "Pension? So that means my ID card wasn't cancelled?"

"No. Why are you asking this? Do you want to become a company manager for fun? My intentions were good, but these kids have misexecuted them."

Hua Wu sighed helplessly at this thought, since credit points were linked to Cripper's credit, just like the US dollar was linked to gold.

He originally intended to exchange Cripper's credit for Star Train's credit, and as for the documents and such, he could just throw them to Skywalker. As for the others, he would just give them a sinecure and let them handle any emergencies.

As a result, Xing and Qiong just randomly assigned positions. Does he expect them to write a special instruction manual for this kind of thing?

The Skywalker couldn't see the huge, readily available file processor on the train and dumped it all on Welt, almost causing Welt's Law of Reason power to be vaporized.

When I came back, I was so angry I laughed.

"Hahaha...."

Ryusuke:?

"why are you laughing?"

Ryusuke felt like the person opposite him was laughing at him, and now he felt quite ridiculous himself. All the clues pointed to the Great Lord of Annihilation, Guiji, yet he couldn't do anything about it, and even died in the most laughable place.

“I remembered something funny... I have two children, and neither of them wants the inheritance. They even threw it away.”

"I have a dishwasher at home but I don't use it. I insist on washing things by hand. After washing them by hand for half a day, I get tired and throw away the gold bowl and let someone else wash it."

"If this were an urban reincarnation story, I'd clean house and commit suicide in a heartbeat. Unfortunately, this is a space fantasy. I can only laugh it off."

"Pick up your phone and choose any department. There's no other way; these departments need a legal representative or someone in name only, right? Even if someone's drawing a salary without working, someone has to fill in, right?"

Ryusuke felt that Huawu's self-talking manner was exactly the same as Guiji's, and his PTSD was about to be triggered.

"So, who exactly are you?"

Hua Wu: ......

"Since you asked the question using this sentence structure and tone, it seems I need to imitate Uncle Gui's sentence structure."

"Let's start with... that arrogant general, back when those bastards called me Run. Because whenever I arrived, they would say: Run."

"I thought that killing evil creatures was a perfect logical loop. It was indeed a perfect logical loop, but it was completely closed. Because you can't kill them all, there will always be some that slip through the net and get away with it. When I go there, they will hide."

“I have killed the Star God of Abundance many times. Only later did I discover that the arrows of the hunt could not pierce the length of immortality.”

"So, in order to eliminate the root of the problem, I defected to the enemy, became the messenger of abundance, and obtained the secret of His resurrection. Completely severing His entire destiny is the way to kill Him."

“I didn’t do that. If He died, the Immortal Ship would be thrown into chaos, causing trouble for myself.”

"To avoid suspicion, I tried to get close to the Mysterious... but I suddenly realized that as long as I claimed to have worked for the Mysterious, the whole thing would be a fabrication. Because of this, many people came to me to verify."

"What you get in return for lies is nothing but lies."

"Later, when I was short of money, I worked at a company for two and a half years. Because my transportation wouldn't be hampered by the development of star trails, I got a deputy manager position in the logistics department."

"Then, I got bored going to work every day. So I ran away again."

"I encountered a half-real, half-fake Ah-ha on the road, which now seems like a distress signal. I ended up with a bunch of masks without really knowing what was going on. Whether there was a reason or not, dealing cards and dressing up as a clown was quite funny."

"On the way, I accidentally entered the Crystal Emperor's secret space, spent the whole morning learning from him, and successfully learned a half-baked memory technique."

"Then, I joined Nanuk Extinction Company. As an intern, I stayed for eight days. I couldn't stand the fact that the boss insisted on transferring my past achievements as a general to the position of Grand Prince. I couldn't stand this favoritism, so I ran away."

"After that, I entered the space station. I accidentally borrowed some things from the God of Wisdom. Because of the debt, He gave me the title of genius. It was originally 85... but the pronunciation sounded like 'woo woo woo,' like a pet. So He changed it to 86."

"To this day, I still don't understand how I got into the machine head's space from outside the space station."

"Finally, the person standing before you. The nameless pioneer—"

"Hey, Hua Wu? I heard from Dan Heng that you left?"

Himeko, holding a pot of coffee, said with a hint of surprise.

"It's a small matter. Running away doesn't mean you can't come back. Right? Like I said before, expansion is a circle."

Ryusuke had already lost his temper when he heard the name of the Great Lord of Annihilation; his anger meter was at its maximum. But Himeko's single sentence, "Eh," deflated his anger.

"Himeko, do you know what he did in the past?"

Himeko nodded. "I know that everyone who boards the train has a past that no one knows about, but he is an exception. As soon as he boarded the train, he handed out his business card to us. The business card clearly stated what he had done in the past."

Epilogue 11 (Bonus Chapter)

"So, what did you two go about?"

"Oh... I went out for a look and ended up pushing the 'Sea-Stabilizing Needle' into the sea. Don't make your over-sixty-year-old dad any more of these stimulating drinks next time."

"Your dad isn't the Galactic Cobra, nor is he a reincarnation of a glutton. Too much poison will kill him."

Hua Wu launched into a tirade against Himeko, wondering if it was because he drank too much of Himeko's coffee that she gained a different kind of confidence.

The story includes the theme of filial piety and the story of an elderly artist in his sixties testing poison on himself.
