Number Five smiled bitterly. He knew that Ling Lan wouldn't be so easily fooled. He said in a low voice, "Little Four accidentally triggered an opportunity to evolve. However, because it came too suddenly, this opportunity might also be a danger …"
"What happened?" Ling Lan didn't want to listen to Number Five's long-winded explanation.
"If it's good, Little Four will be able to grow. He will be of great help to you …" Number Five tried to stall for time. However, under Ling Lan's sharp gaze, he finally gave in. He finally said the worst outcome. "If it's bad, Little Four will have to start all over again …"
"In other words, the current Little Four won't exist anymore." Ling Lan clenched her fists. This explained why her heart ached. Ling Lan had long treated Little Four as her younger brother. Her younger brother was in great danger. This kind of deep relationship that transcended their bloodline gave Ling Lan this reminder.
"Where is Little Four?" Ling Lan roared.
"He's in his space. No one can enter …" Number Five hoped that Ling Lan would calm down. It wasn't that they didn't want to help. It was that they couldn't.
Ling Lan's aura suddenly exploded. Number Five was instantly pushed back a few meters. The learning space started to shake.
"Ling Lan, do you want to destroy the learning space?" Number Five shouted angrily.
"I want to find Little Four." Ling Lan glared at Number Five viciously. The determination in her eyes made Number Five's heart tremble. He understood that no one could stop Ling Lan now. Even if Number One came out, even if she knew that he would die, Ling Lan would still make a move.
Number Five stomped his foot. "I don't care about you anymore. However, I have to remind you. Don't destroy the learning space. This is Little Four's original body. Don't ruin it in the end."
Ling Lan nodded, indicating that she understood. Her bright gaze, accompanied by her aura, began to search every corner of the learning space, trying to find Little Four.
Little Four finally couldn't withstand the overwhelming pressure and could only watch as the numbers slowly seeped into his body.
"Brother Little Four, are you crying?" Suddenly, Floret's confused voice could be heard amidst the rows of 01's.
Little Four jerked his head up and looked at the source of the voice in disbelief. This was his world. Why was he hearing Floret's voice? Was he hallucinating?
Due to his excitement, the numbers that had entered Little Four's body popped out.
"Brother Little Four, where are you? Why can I feel your presence but can't see you?" Floret's voice sounded again.
This wasn't a hallucination. Floret had really come to his world.
"Floret …" Little Four shouted weakly. Due to resisting the program that was trying to reformat him, Little Four had already reached his limit.
The numbers that popped out were obviously unwilling to give up. They gathered together again and forced their way towards Little Four. Little Four watched as the numbers entered his body again. Although he was still crying, he smiled.
Being able to hear Floret's voice before he disappeared was perhaps the greatest comfort for him. Even if he really disappeared, he would still exist in Floret's memory, in Boss's memory.
Little Four watched as his body slowly turned transparent and then slowly dissipated. This scene was familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar. Back then, when he cleaned up Boss's enemies in the virtual world, he had done this as well. He had reformatted them into nothingness. In the end, he himself couldn't escape this calamity and ceased to exist like those people.
Little Four slowly closed his eyes, waiting for his current self to disappear completely.
"Big Brother Little Four, why are you crying?" Floret's voice suddenly rang in his ears. Little Four opened his eyes in shock and saw Floret's ice-cold face magnified in front of him.
"Why are you so close to me?" Little Four said angrily. Didn't she know that this would scare him to death?
Floret raised her right hand and gently swept her index finger under Little Four's eyes. A crystal clear teardrop appeared on her fingertip. Floret looked at the teardrop seriously. She raised her head and said sternly, "So Big Brother Little Four is really crying."
Floret pressed her left hand against her heart. No wonder he felt so terrible just now. He kept feeling like he was going to lose something important. This feeling was too uncomfortable, so he tried his best to find this place to see what was going on.
"Who's crying? I'm not crying!" Little Four suddenly wiped his eyes and retorted stubbornly, "Even if you're crying, I won't cry."
Floret looked at the teardrop on her fingertip, then looked at Little Four's stubborn face and red ears. She nodded thoughtfully and stuffed her index finger into her mouth. This teardrop was clearly a condensation of data and shouldn't have any taste, but Floret actually tasted the salty taste described in the books.
At this moment, Little Four had already calmed down. He saw that he could still maintain the general outline of his body, then looked at Floret in front of him to protect him. He suddenly understood that it was Floret who blocked the invasion of the formatting program that prevented him from disappearing.
However, Little Four didn't rejoice that he had dodged a bullet. Instead, he shouted in horror, "Floret, hurry up and leave. If you don't leave here, this formatting program will format you too." If Little Four disappeared, he would just start over. However, if Floret was formatted, she would really cease to exist.
He couldn't harm Floret!
Floret looked at the numbers that made him feel very threatened. Although he could devour data, he was still afraid of this program that could format everything. However, when he looked at Little Four behind him, he didn't want to see this partner that he had known since he opened his eyes and recognized him as his master.
No, he even felt that before he opened his eyes, he had smelled Little Four's scent. When he was asleep, Little Four had always been by his side, talking to him and cheering him on. This was also the reason why he accepted Little Four as his master even after he had acknowledged him as his master.
Only Floret knew that the Doomsday Flower didn't have partners. Once it recognized a master, it would reject everyone and everything around the master. This was also the reason why the Doomsday Flower could easily destroy the world. Little Four didn't know about this. Back then, when he asked Floret to recognize Ling Lan as his master, he almost put himself in danger. If it wasn't for the familiarity in the depths of his memory that stopped Floret from acting rashly, Little Four would have been devoured by Floret the first time they met.
Of course, all of this was in the past. The current Floret truly treated Little Four as his partner. According to Big Boss, this was a brotherly relationship that couldn't be cut off.
Since he couldn't let go, he would fight!
Floret suddenly grabbed a number strip that was trying to get close. The number strip that was grabbed by Floret twisted violently, trying to break free. A cold light flashed in Floret's eyes. He pulled hard, opened his mouth wide, revealed his white teeth, and bit down hard.
The moment Floret bit down, the number strip instantly fell apart and disappeared into thin air.
